TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Nearly half of Manitobans wrongly believe that the title 'financial advisor' is currently regulated and requires some form of accreditation, similar to lawyers, doctors or other professionals, according to survey findings released today by Advocis, the Financial Advisors Association of Canada. With this false assurance, investors are at significant risk of not only receiving poor advice, but also falling victim to unscrupulous actors posing as legitimate advisors.
Although a license is required to sell financial products in Canada, there is no minimum education requirement to provide financial advice. The survey of 800 Manitobans, conducted by Abacus Data in October and November, found that only 57 per cent of respondents are aware that anyone, regardless of education, training or membership in a professional governing body, can call themselves a financial advisor. The research also found that those with lower incomes, who arguably need sound financial advice most, place the highest levels of trust in the financial advisor title. The same survey was conducted in Ontario a month prior and the results told the same unsettling story.
"For years, we've recognized the dangers that lack of title protection presents for the financial well-being of hard-working families seeking professional financial advice, said Advocis CEO and President, Greg Pollock. "This survey proves there is a tremendous amount of misplaced trust in the market, and reinforces just how badly new regulations are needed to protect the public."
In fact, 86 per cent of those surveyed said they would support the provincial government passing new legislation to regulate the title of 'financial advisor'. Meanwhile, 83 per cent of respondents felt all financial advisors should be subject to a mandatory code of professional conduct.
"All Manitobans deserve to know their money is in the hands of true professionals, who are qualified to help them meet their financial goals," concluded Pollock. "The time has come to legally recognize the provision of financial advice as a profession and to oversee financial advisors as we do all other professionals who provide essential advice and services."
Due to the lack of professional regulation, today there is also no single registry or database where an investor can go to verify their advisor's credentials and disciplinary history. What's more, without consistent continuing-education requirements, investors have little assurance that their advisor's knowledge of financial planning and products is being kept current.
Advocis is encouraging the Government of Manitoba to take meaningful action, and protect the financial security of Manitobans. The Association is calling for every financial advisor to be required to be a member of a professional governing organization and adhere to a common code of professional and ethical conduct, maintain mandatory professional liability insurance, complete ongoing professional development, and commit to a fair and impartial disciplinary process.
Advocis, The Financial Advisors Association of Canada, is the association of choice for financial advisors and planners. With more than 13,000 members in 40 chapters across the country, Advocis is the definitive voice of the profession, advocating for professionalism and consumer protection. Advocis works with decision-makers and the public, stressing the value of financial advice and working toward an environment in which all Canadians have access to the advice they need. | 2019-04-24T04:31:45 | https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/majority-of-manitobans-believe-financial-advisors-need-professional-regulation-701139351.html |

"ALL ABOUT BARISTAS – AND ZAMBIA SUGAR"
A BARISTA (ba'rista/ buh-REE-stuh; from the Italian for "bartender") is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. Zambia Sugar was the official sponsor of the 2014 National Barista Championship which, in its eighth consecutive year running, is aimed at developing Zambia’s coffee industry and improving the standards of coffee serving in Zambia. So this year’s event was dubbed ‘2014 Zambia Sugar National Barista Championship’. The baristas competed over a two-day period from 15-17 April at the Manda Hill Shopping Mall in Lusaka.
Zambia Sugar donated financial, technical as well as material support to the Zambia Barista Committee, working under the auspices of the Zambia Coffee Growers Association. This is part of the company’s contribution to culture and sport development in Zambia.
The event attracted baristas from various parts of the country. Zambia Sugar was represented by its finance director Henry Mambwe, who also gave out beautifully handcrafted prizes to the winners. The Top Barista was Ms Dailess Nalwamba. Dailess went on to represent Zambia at the World Barista Championship in Italy.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- With third baseman Mike Moustakas expected to arrive in camp either Friday night or Saturday morning, the Royals have some immediate adjustments to make.
First, the Royals will have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Manager Ned Yost hinted that outfielder Bubba Starling, now battling an oblique injury, could be a candidate for the disabled list. If the Royals deem Starling's injury serious enough, he could go on the 60-day DL, thus opening a 40-man spot.
And, of course, the Royals will have to adjust their everyday lineup.
With Moustakas at third base, Cheslor Cuthbert will have to get his playing time elsewhere. Earlier in camp, the Royals made it clear they wanted to get players such as Cuthbert and outfielders Jorge Soler and Jorge Bonifacio 500-550 at-bats to further their development in this rebuild.
Yost, without acknowledging the Moustakas reunion because Moustakas hasn't had his physical yet, said getting Cuthbert his 550 at-bats now would present a challenge.
"The goal for [Cuthbert] was 550 at-bats, now it's 450 at-bats," Yost said. "We just got to get it done somehow."
Yost did confirm that he views the DH spot as a "floating" position this season.
Cuthbert most surely will see some extended time at DH, while also playing some third base to rest Moustakas, who also may play some first base (where Lucas Duda starts) and DH at times.
The DH spot also could be a temporary home for players such as Soler and fellow outfielder Jonathan Jay. The Royals signed Jay recently on the premise that he would play regularly.
But Alex Gordon, Bonifacio and Soler also will play virtually every day, so there could be a logjam at DH that would include Soler, Jay and Cuthbert.
"It's all going to be a challenge that we have to work out," Yost said. "But that's OK. Mr. [David] Glass has always given us every opportunity to win, to be the best we can be. It's up to us to make sure we get it all done. We just have to figure it all out."
The addition of Moustakas also will bump someone off the 25-man roster.
The Royals now likely will carry six infielders instead of five, which would force them to perhaps go with four outfielders -- Soler, Jay, Gordon and Bonifacio -- instead of five. Paulo Orlando, who opened camp as the primary center fielder and is having a solid spring, has an option remaining and is a candidate to begin the season at Triple-A.
The Royals also could decide to carry seven relievers instead of eight, which would keep Orlando on the 25-man.
The other ramification of Moustakas coming to the Royals is regarding their Draft picks. They will get four picks in the top 39 (Nos. 18, 31, 33, 39), whereas they conceivably could have had another top-40 pick had Moustakas signed elsewhere for $50 million or more. | 2019-04-23T10:10:40 | https://www.mlb.com/news/royals-will-adjust-plans-for-mike-moustakas-c268281492 |

I got my flu shot early this winter. I know I did. My son got his also and we both agreed it was totally painless. We were prepared and we anticipated the dreaded winter illness with our armors on.
So far it's worked for him and I pray that continues. As for myself...well, I believe my luck may not be as solid as his. I have had a headache since Friday and awoke with an ear ache, sore throat, and nausea this morning. Thank goodness we had a snow day. I just do not think I can take a "sick day" from school with a clear conscious. We have missed so many days of school this year because of Mother Nature's desire to provide the first real winter we have had in a while. With any luck I will rise tomorrow with no residual effects of today's ickiness.That was two weeks ago.
Last week a flu of a different kind ravaged my body. This time the chills were accompanied by diarhea, fever, and nausea; as well as two nights of restless sleep and painful leg aches.
I ran into a fellow MS sufferer today. When she asked about my meds, I admitted that I stopped "using" three years ago this February. She, too, is no longer "shooting up"; We agreed that this was probably the best decision we had made in our individual journeys with Multipled Sclerosis. The symptoms we suffered while self-injecting still plague us, but with little to no progression. We are saving money and free of the chemicals that filled our bodies back then and getting to the bathroom in time is just as difficult now as it was then. We still have MS and we still feel lousy but without the additional side-effects that medication often creates. I guess that's a good thing; but rather disheartening in the battle against this horrible disease.
Fifty-five years ago today God gave my parents a perfect little prize (yep, I'm selling it!). I was born on my paternal grandmother's birthday and spent most of my growing up years attempting (and failing miserably) to emulate that southern grace that demanded immediate attention. She was a lovely lady, and never without her perfectly applied coral or rose hued nail polish. Her shoes always matched her dress and her hair was never out of place. Gurney was the poster person of elegance. | 2019-04-24T20:29:08 | http://www.ladywiththecane.com/2014/03/ |

Although multi-instrumentalist Jim Capaldi (keyboards/drums/guitars/vocals) is arguably best known for his work with Traffic, he began an extensive and varied solo career in 1972 when Traffic came to a proverbial stand still. Almost a decade on, Capaldi's Let the Thunder Cry (1981) was among the efforts initially released on the French indie Carrere label. Like its predecessor, The Sweet Smell Of ... Success (1980), it proved more difficult for Stateside enthusiasts to find, prior to being issued on CD. Capaldi draws upon a wide spectrum of personnel ranging from longtime collaborator Chris Parren (keyboards) to U.K. session heavies Andy Newmark (drums) and Mel Collins (sax) to Traffic bandmates Rebop (aka Rebop Kwaku Baah) (percussion) and Steve Winwood (keyboards). As the opening "Let the Thunder Cry" and the closer "Anxiety" exemplify, Capaldi has not lost his ability to churn out edgy rockers. Conversely, "Old Photographs," "Child in the Storm" and the ethereally beautiful "Warm" demonstrate his tragically underutilized penchant for emotive balladry. One of the catchier selections is the amiable Brazilian homage "Favella Music," directly contrasting the mostly forgettable remake of "Louie Louie." The update of the 1960s garage anthem is dusted off to little or no fanfare. The interpretation suffers immediately from the synthetic keyboard organ intro and ersatz drum machine -- both ultimately fail to ignite the reckless spirit of the original with the same incendiary innocence that has graced the infinite numbers of erstwhile covers. The mid-tempo "Only Love" would have fit in with the early-'80s pop milieu, yet was inexplicably passed by for the comparatively unassuming "Child in the Storm." Overall however, this outing would become the basis for Capaldi's next project, Fierce Heart (1983), spawning the Top 20 hit "That's Love" on what is otherwise an equally strong collection. Interested parties should note that Let the Thunder Cry [Bonus Tracks] (2003) boasts several supplementary non-LP sides as well as an entire bonus CD with a dozen-song live set from Capaldi and Dave Mason (guitar/vocals) circa their 40,000 Headmen tour in 1996. | 2019-04-25T12:11:58 | https://www.allmusic.com/album/let-the-thunder-cry-mw0000048809 |

An architecturally standout two-level chalet, Glasshouse is an uber-cool, designer-style five-bedroom stay with a gorgeous upper level with dramatic glass walls that look out from all sides to a glorious natural scene and uninterrupted views of Mount Yotei.
Set in the Japanese ski resort of Niseko, in the area’s largest village Hirafu with its many bars and restaurants, a chalet stay includes daily pick-up and drop-off to the area’s family chairlift, the Grand Hirafu Gondola or a dinner reservation, with a private concierge service. Glasshouse was nominated for the World Ski Awards in both 2014 and 2015 and boasts a fabulous outdoor hot tub surrounded by snow in the season.
The open-plan living space features full sofas and a real fireplace that hangs dramatically from the ceiling to create an artistic statement, as well as comfort and a feeling of chalet-chic. The uncluttered space opens out to an outdoor terrace with seating while soft lighting and a full kitchen with breakfast counter and bar stools add to the chalet’s sophisticated charm. A BBQ means delicious grill dinners can be prepared after a cold day on the slopes when wear gear is hanging up in the chalet’s ski dry room.
The chalet’s four bathrooms come with snowball-shaped basins, heated WC seats, and bathtubs which are right by glass walls that take bathers up close to the beautiful snow outside in winter and enhance the warm, cozy atmosphere indoors. A room with bunk beds and a flat-screen TV and DVD creates a perfect space for youngsters, making Glasshouse a wonderful family stay.

Our clients in this matter were husband and wife who were involved in a “T-Bone” car collision while enjoying an evening drive. An SUV blew through a stop sign and crashed into the side of our clients’ vehicle at such a high speed that the husband died and the wife was severely injured. The SUV driver had a suspended license and was uninsured.
Dwyer Williams Cherkoss Attorneys, PC filed a lawsuit and quickly obtained a judgment in the amount of $1,112,007 against the SUV driver. This judgment was significantly limited by Oregon’s cap on wrongful death claims. We were also able to settle with our clients’ under-insured motorist carrier for the full policy limits. With our help, our female client secured more than $1,242,000 in lawful compensation for her injuries and loss. | 2019-04-20T22:59:23 | https://www.roydwyer.com/1240000-deadly-t-bone-auto-accident/ |

You don’t have to go heavy on a botanical theme of leaves and tropical prints in order to feel closer to nature. By simply incorporating just the colour green it is possible to feel that innate connection with nature, and conjure up the deep peace and fresh vitality of the grassy countryside or lush leafy tropics. These four green interiors all use green decor schemes in their own way, in various shades that equal different results. We look at two crisp interiors that splash green accents into cool grey and white backdrops, whilst the other two bring in volumes of warming wood tone to mellow the finished look.
Green apartment interior number one is found in the residential complex ‘Element’, in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The home has an area of 37.1 square metres, and features a modern open plan living space.
We can see right off the bat that the interior incorporates shades of green into every zone. Green scatter cushions bring colour to a grey sofa in the lounge; green base units stripe across the kitchen; a glass wall bedroom reveals a green painted accent wall.
The strong green shade of the kitchen cabinets give the small kitchen a bold look. White larder units and wall cupboards balance out the dark hue. Four green dining chairs take the theme into the eating area, which has a small indoor plant as its centrepiece. There may not be a garden attached to this apartment for al fresco dining, but the room palette and accessories can certainly evoke the fresh green ambience of the great outdoors.
Even the hallway of the home receives the green treatment, with one long wall painted in the accent colour.
A single green cushion brings the hue to the modern sofa in our second home tour in Kiev, Ukraine. At the window a heavy green curtain matches the scatter cushion on the sofa; it also complements green hilly views from beyond the glass. A unique white floor lamp dresses the other end of the large window. See other beautiful ideas for floor lamps here.
One round modern coffee table sits atop a circular area rug in the lounge. The glossy white tabletop is conveniently set with glasses and a carafe.
Pale shades of grey run through the 62.3 square metre interior.
An unusual wall light looks more like a piece of modern art.
Granite tiles provide an attractive setting for a wall mounted tv. LED strip lights illuminate the edges.
A bespoke reading nook has been fashioned out of green cabinets and grey seat cushions.
Frosted glass doors behind the sofa reveal a grey kitchen. A cluster of white dining pendant lights swing over a green dining set.
A green curtain pools beside the dining table.
Decorative vases form a modern centrepiece.
Sweeping grassy views haze through tall windows. The green drapes and dining chairs echo the hue of the faraway scene.
Grey granite patterns the kitchen backsplash. See more grey kitchens here.
Grey granite tiles floor the green hallway.
Inside the bathroom, raw concrete walls and a grey toilet give the space an edgy look.

This green themed apartment in Moscow has an area of 37 square metres. It also has a beautiful visual warmth that comes from elements of rustic wood grain, like this casual dining peninsula and kitchen bar stools. In the living room, a tiny sofa fits the compact space. The coffee table looks to be a one that can be adjusted in height to become a dining table like this one.
On the opposite wall, the tv wall decor incorporates elements of wood tone too.
Librarian ladders can be slid along their rail to gain access to high storage cupboards above the doorway. The ladders also double as decorative shelving, with gaps left for footholds.
The kitchen peninsula has a slatted design to help the small living space appear more spacious.
Sage green cabinets colour the kitchen.
The wall cabinets are finished in misty grey so as not to overwhelm the small kitchen with too much strong colour.
At the makeup vanity in the home entryway, a step stool is utilised as a vanity chair.
Modern closets provide generous storage by the front door.
The final design is a cracking green and yellow vision, teamed with monochrome and dark wood accents.
A green accent chair pops in front of a deep brown wall of granite and wood. See more great accent chairs here.
The wood wall is part of the kitchen installation which fills the rest of the room length.
A dining room is set out on the other side of a green volume that forms the core of the living space. Chunky dining room pendant lights visually anchor the table in its position.
The vivid green ‘core’ of the room is lit around its ceiling perimeter, which casts a dramatic glow down its cladding.
A similar ambient glow illuminates the bedroom, where the scheme is predominantly light wood tone, and orange hued wall art.
Soft grey furnishings and gallery white decor lets the artwork sing.
The luxury bathroom is a vision of white marble and smooth wood accents. A huge vanity mirror teams with a wall mounted white and wood vanity. A wooden towel ladder makes a simple accessory to a luxe freestanding tub.
A modern courtyard design encases a single tree.

Steve Memmolo of Boston, a 2006 URI alumnus, will learn if he has been chosen as one of a dozen finalists during the show, which airs at 8 p.m. on NBC.
After his successful blind audition with a soulful rendition of “Spooky” by the Classics IV last month, Memmolo joined the team of coach Adam Levine, lead singer of the band Maroon 5. On Monday, he advanced to become one of 24 finalists, singing “More Today Than Yesterday” by Spiral Starecase.
Since Monday’s show, Americans across the nation began voting on which of the remaining 24 contestants will advance. America’s votes will decide the top two artists on each team, and then each of the four celebrity coaches will choose a third artist to continue on to the live shows next week. The lucky singers learn their fate tonight.
According to his bio on the show’s website, Memmolo’s father put the musical bug in his ear when he was a young child by playing Frank Sinatra and always supported his son’s musical ambitions. When Memmolo was a 20-year-old communications student at URI, his father was killed in an accident, and Memmolo decided to start a band to help him through that difficult time.
Today, Memmolo, 35, leads his own party band in Boston called Classic Yellow, and in addition to music, performs improv comedy once a week.
The Voice airs at 8 pm on Monday and Tuesday’s on NBC. | 2019-04-23T04:38:28 | http://whatsuprhodeisland.com/2018/11/uri-grad-steve-memmolo-finds-out-tonight-if-he-moves-to-finalists-round-on-the-voice/ |

Soprano Eve Rachel McLeod sang Victor Hugo Lieder. While McLeod has a voice of genuinely operatic power, she kept it gentle, always soaring gently to high notes while respecting the intimacy of the venue.
Eve Rachel McLeod was the last soloist to appear, resplendent in red, for Handel saves the silvery soprano voice to announce Christ's birth. McLeod's voice and manner was ideal for this and for the flashing runs and lyrical moments in her other three arias.
She rose admirably to the challenge scaling the heights and tackling the stratospheric arpeggios without flinching [...] There was the worry that the stentorian Margison might dominate McLeod, though that was not a problem. The feisty soprano met the tenor's challenge, and more than held her own for the duration [...] McLeod was ultimately a wonderful pleasure. At times, her voice had a penetrating concentration, piercing the air and captivating the listener, though her held notes were fully developed, never missing a chance for musical nuance. Sempre libera (Verdi's La Traviata) was a particular highlight, with its tempestuous flurry of drama and colliding emotions."
Soprano Eve Rachel McLeod and bass Jason Nedecky gave 100 per cent in attitude, stage presence, musicianship, clarity of diction and vocal sound to be the stars in this area.
Eve Rachel McLeod as Queen of the Night created her role with a cutting edge to the voice and a demeanour reminiscent of a Cruella. She is definitely one to watch closely!
Eve Rachel McLeod, gracing the performance with possibly the strongest stage presence, possesses a beautiful voice and moved through the indignant-to-vindictive-to-repentant phrases of Donna Elvira's character well.
McLeod, a soprano and Hegedus, a bass, also stand out. Both performers are great actors as well as vocalists, and I hope to see them in future productions.
Making a strong showing were three newcomers soprano Eve Rachel McLeod, tenor Daniel Auchencloss and Mezzo Jennifer Enns-Modolo.
Particular mention for solo and duet airs beautifully sung go to sopranos Eve Rachel McLeod and Teri Dunn.
...Eve Rachel McLeod has a fine instrument and strong stage presence.
The soloists were excellent and young soprano Eve Rachel McLeod's strong, lyrical voice was a great surprise. | 2019-04-21T00:31:56 | http://evemcleod.com/press.php |

I challenge you to spend some time building relationships in real life instead of focusing solely on virtual relationships.
I see many people spending an inordinate amount of time talking about how to build relationships online through Twitter, Facebook, etc., which, frankly, is getting immensely boring. What I've been more interested in recently is much more old school: fostering relationships in real life. Now, I'm not talking about attending a networking event, that's way too easy. What I'm talking about is smaller groups of people getting together for coffee, dinner, drinks, etc.
This came up in a conversation I had with local Phoenix artist and photographer, Tyson Crosbie a few weeks ago. He posited that, while getting together in larger groups was fine for many things, it didn't foster the same type of relationships that smaller groups did. Further, he stated that some of the best conversations he'd had were in very small groups. It shouldn't be news to anyone that it's easier for people to bond in smaller groups, right? I tended to agree and started thinking about it more.
New online tools make it easier for us to find people with which we share similar interests and they allow us to communicate with them. Having online friends is becoming the norm... there are many people I've talked with online that I've never met in real life. However, the communication mediums that currently exist online are flawed. For instance, we've probably all experienced how easily the subtleties of human interaction are lost when communicating online. After all, these are just tools; they're not an end, they're a means to an end!
When I do, occasionally, visit meatspace I'm either attending a networking event or some other social gathering. I think there's a desire to be a part of something large because that's often used as a measure of "success". Much like many bureaucracies, the larger things get, the harder it is to accomplish something meaningful. I think making a more personal connection with a small group of people is far more valuable than being one of many in a semi-anonymous crowd.

[For Weekend Cat Blogging, please follow this link].
Since last Sunday (after my performance at the Y2K8 Looping Festival), visual art as taken over. October is Open Studios in San Francisco, where artists open up their studios to for public visits. I took advantage of the opportunity to get acquainted with local artists, mostly in the neighborhoods in walking distance, and the local art scene.
Taking in so much art and so many artists in such a short period of time is quite overwhelming, and I will only be able to describe a small fraction of what I saw. What makes a particular artist memorable and noteworthy is not only the quality of his or her work, but the conversations and personal connections. In some cases, I remember artists whose work may not fit my own aesthetic, but whose meeting was memorable. It was also the setting, and how their work fit in with my vision and sense of the neigbhorhoods.
My first day out was last Sunday during which I visited several large studios in the Potrero Hill and Mission districts. The first stop was Art Explosion Studios. Here I met and had a change to talk with Amy Seefeldt; and Victoria Highland, whose large city-scape on a hill in front of a bay (where have I seen that before?) was one of the better large-scale paintings I saw. Heidi McDowell had an interesting large-scale painting featuring a young girl at Lassen National Monument, which I visited last year. The recent work of Melisa Philips is perhaps closer to my own interests. One of her paintings featuring stenciled text is shown to the right. I have discussed here on CatSynth in the past my interest in text within visual art, and whether the words and letters are simply visual elements or retain their meaning. Melisa Philips and I had an interesting conversation about this topic. Additionally, her earlier work includes some of the more interesting female figures I encountered on this particular day.
It is hard to tell specifically where Potrero Hill ends and the Mission begins, and many of the venues on this particular trip sit in that ambiguous area of old industrial buildings dotted with lofts and art spaces. Within these spaces, I encountered not only traditional fine art, but other media as well, some which would have been traditionally classified as “craft.” There were several jewelry makers, for example – there is a fuzzy dividing line at which things like jewelry become art, perhaps when they become more an item to collect and display, rather than to wear. There were the chandeliers by “adventurer” Derek E. Burton, which were quite intricate and intriguing, and although they are completely opposite of my personal style and the style of CatSynth HQ, I enjoyed hearing Derek’s story and his passion for his work. Aliza Cohen presented mix-media art, but it was her wool pillows that caught my attention. I did also encounter more traditional media, such as the photography of Christine Federici that incorporated some architectural and space details, as well as a mixture of natural and artificial textures.
Interestingly, it seemed that “modern” art, which is my main interest, was a distinct minority among the works encountered on this first trip. Certainly, there were many artists working with abstraction, but overall it did not have the stark geometric or textural qualities that I have come to expect.
When searching for “abstract” on the main website, the work of Pauline Crowther Scott showed up on the list. Her works features images of cats. Cats and abstraction seem like a good combination, so I made the trip out to her home studio in the Bernal Heights neighborhood. The trip to the narrow and sometimes vertical streets and older houses in this neighborhood in the southeast of the city, on a somewhat chilly late afternoon, was an interesting experience in itself. Scott’s work was much less abstract than I had expected (she was in fact surprised by the designation), but she did have several works featuring cats that were added to earlier (and indeed somewhat abstract) images. One example was Three Cats on a Bedspread.
This weekend featured open studios the South of Market (SOMA) area, which is my own neighborhood. Overall, the works I encountered were decidedly more modern, and often seemed to take inspiration from the industrial and urban surroundings. Indeed, the mixed media works of Rebecca Kerlin draw upon the highway overpasses, such as I-80 and the approach to the Bay Bridge, that I have featured in many posts here at CatSynth, such as in this Wordless Wednesday post. Her work incorporates photos of familiar landmarks and details into mixed media pieces.
Two other photographers I also encountered at included familiar sights from both New York and San Francisco in their work, and I had fun identifying and discussing them. I have unfortunately misplaced both photographers’ contact info (and I cannot find them on the original list. Hopefully, I will be able to get in touch them soon.
Back at Soma Artists Studios (same location as Rebecca Kerlin), I saw an interesting progression the work of Flora Davis. Her early work featured oil paintings of cats, while her more recent work involves sheet metal. They were quite separate, indeed they were displayed in two separate studios. However, I think it would be interesting to place one or two of the smaller cat paintings next to her multi-panel metal works, and considering them as a unit. Indeed, it would summarize my experience as modernism, abstraction, geometry, and cats.
After an exhausting but rewarding walk around the neigbhorhood, I did have to time for a brief excursion south to some studios in the Mission Bay area, which includes much of the old industrial waterfront.
The view behind the studios at 1 Rankin Street onto the Islais Creek Channel were quite inspiring, even without the presence of art. Fitting with the environment, this studio featured metal sculptures. The large sculptures of Béla Harcos greeted visitors. No matter how much I am supposed to be looking for prints and paintings, I am still drawn to abstract metal sculpture. Rebecca Fox also had large works on display, and I able to glimpse her workspace and her collection of metal waiting to be used. The “artist blacksmith” Wolf Thurmeier has some smaller, even “miniature” abstract metal sculptures (what I would consider “apartment-sized”), forged from recycled metal.
Quite by coincidence, I also had the opportunity this weekend to attend a private tour of the Anderson Art Collection. The collection is located in Menlo Park (south of San Francisco, near Stanford University), and features late 20th century and early 21st century American art. It includes over 800 works, spanning about five decades and several notable styles and schools, including color fields, minimalism, the New York school of the 1950s and 1960s (e.g., Jasper Johns and Robert Rauchenberg). There were also recent computer-assisted works by Chuck Close, as well as emerging artists that the Andersons are supporting. One interesting discovery for me was Frank Lobdell. I will have to look for him on the outside. I found it interesting how some of his work resembled the Jasper Johns’ prints featured in the collection (especially the reductions in the very detailed brochures).
This visit to one of the premier private collections was an interesting contrast to many local independent artists over the past week. I would to think that my art experiences will continue to include both. | 2019-04-20T20:32:39 | https://www.catsynth.com/tag/jerry-veverka/ |

Choosing child care is one of the most important decisions for a parent to make. There are a lot of things to consider. The Parents Rights and Responsibilities Brochure is a great starting resource for parents and guardians.
Parents participating in our childcare services program have the freedom to choose a provider that meets the needs of their family.
We offer parents a choice of approximately 150 childcare providers that are currently contracted with our program, including providers who are participating in the Texas Rising Star program, a voluntary program for providers committed to offering quality child care. These providers are listed on the TRS-Specific Provider lists as well as the general Provider lists. Each list offers additional information about child care providers and quality programs.
Workforce Solutions South Plains has created a map of the childcare providers that are currently contracted with our program. If the location of a childcare provider is important to you check out the Workforce Solutions South Plains Childcare Providers Map.
If you are unable to find a suitable provider from our contracted provider lists, parents can self-arrange child care with a relative as well.
Before visiting a childcare facility, it is helpful to identify basic family needs that you look for in a childcare program. These may include: location, hours of operation, and transportation services.
After selecting a childcare provider that meets your family’s needs, parents are urged to visit the program to learn first-hand if this is the right program for the child and family. Take the time to talk to the caregiver and ask questions about the children’s activities.
For the most up-to-date parenting information, ideas, and on-the-ground resources for parents, visit TEXAS CHILD CARE SOLUTIONS.

What is High Quality Preschool?
The link below is from a series on Early Care and Education from National Public Radio (NPR). It shows what attributes a quality early childhood program needs in order to meet the needs of very young children. One of the primary concerns for parents is, “How did I make sure my child is ready for kindergarten?” There are many perspectives on how to accomplish this goal. One of the single best indicators for school readiness is the social and emotional readiness of your child. Is he/she able to get along with peers, follow simple instructions and talk openly about his/her feelings and what is needed in order to feel safe and calm.
The video below is an example of what early childhood programs should look like for all children. As a parent, a teacher and a community, we should expect nothing less than quality from ALL of the programs within our County. After all, this is the foundation that will shape your child for the rest of his/her life. Shouldn’t it be the best? | 2019-04-22T22:22:31 | https://workforcesouthplains.org/child-care-services/for-parents/choosing-a-provider/ |
First off is from a brand I had never heard of until I was in my local Tesco, they had Girlz Only Dry Shampoo on offer for £1 (usually £1.99) so I thought I would give it a go. I am a huge dry shampoo fan and regularly use Batiste, this brand however was really disappointing. Dry shampoo is meant to soak up the excess grease in your hair, this brand did not, it smelt lovely but I really couldn't tell any difference after spraying it in my hair.
The next 2 products are from a brand I absolutely LOVE, John Frieda is one of my favourite hair care brands, I use shampoo and conditioner from their range and I also adore their 3 Day Straight which I reviewed here, with pics. Dream Curls RRP £5.29 did nothing for me, it claims to give you perfect waves and curls and it did absolutely nothing for my hair.
The next product is John Frieda Tone Correcting Mousse RRP £5.89. I suppose it's not just this mousse that I dislike but this one for me left my hair extremely crispy.....not a word anyone wants to describe their hair!
Have you tested out any disappointing hair products recently?
Am so confused by that mousse - how is it suppose to correct colour evenly? You just scrunch through your hair and go, sounds like a recipe for disaster. | 2019-04-20T10:58:15 | http://www.emsmixedbag.com/2013/10/3-disappointing-hair-products.html |
Robert Perkins examines the delicate balance act of financing shale oil production in the US in this week’s Oilgram News column, Petrodollars.
In this month’s highlight of material from Platts Energy Economist, managing editor Ross McCracken delves into the best places to sink capital in a time of low oil prices and whether recent investments have truly trickled through the industry yet.
It is not hard to find proponents of the view that the current clampdown on capital expenditure by oil and gas companies will cause a shortage of oil in the future. Weak investment now causes low production in years to come. At the same time, low prices prompt greater demand. As soon as these two processes become entrenched, oil traders will look ahead to the impending shortage and prices will rise. Boom time returns.
Shale oil’s investment cycle is shorter and its decline profile sharper than conventional oil production. Current indicators suggest legacy declines from shale will catch up fast with the industry. This points to a sharp deceleration in US shale oil output. But, while conventional oil takes time to slow down, it also takes time to speed up. It will be shale that is best placed to benefit from any oil price recovery, as Ross McCracken, managing editor of Platts Energy Economist, explains in this month’s selection from the publication. The full analysis can be found in the February 2015 issue, which is also issue 400 of Energy Economist.
In the controversial 1940s book The Fountainhead, arch-villain Ellsworth Toohey, who above all seeks power and control of other people, comments — and this is a paraphrase — that the way to topple a system is to make one small negative but still-key move in just the right place, and then sit back and watch the whole edifice implode as its members scramble for self-preservation.
Although Ayn Rand, the author of that book and fierce champion of individualism, hated the popular notion that “we’re all in this together,” the fact is that in oil markets and economic systems, we are. One ominous signal — and even worse, a handful — can start a rumble that creates an earthquake.
Do rig counts tell us much about oil and natural gas supplies anymore?
Consider the facts: Lower-48 gas production averaged at 72.1 Bcf/d in January, close to all-time highs, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Gas rigs, meanwhile, were at 14-year lows, averaging at 434 for the same month.
Simple answer to the question: Not if you’re trying to gauge supply, they’re not. | 2019-04-24T17:53:59 | https://blogs.platts.com/tag/rigs/ |

When we coach our clients there are many things we must take into account such as their culture, gender, socioeconomic status, education, family history, personal health and physical capacity, the list goes on and on. However, every client I have ever met has had a brain (with perhaps one or two exceptions) and all brains run on the same basic principles regardless of history, culture, gender etc. Quite simply when we learn the basics of how the brain works we become more effective as coaches.
At its core the art of coaching is the art of helping our clients change habits that don’t serve them, maintain and reinforce the ones that do serve them and and to intentionally create new habits that will allow them to achieve groundbreaking and intentional results at work, at home and at play. When we understand the neuroscience of habits and the role of the coach in the journey, we become valuable allies to our clients as they travel on the journey to health, integrity and self-empowerment.

Kinetic data measured from folding of the protein interleukin-1β fits best to three exponential phases when studied with tryptophan fluorescence but only two exponential phases when measured using other methods. The technique of ANS fluorescence was used to determine whether the additional phase observed in tryptophan fluorescence was also detected with ANS dye binding. Unlike trytophan fluorescence, the ANS fluorescence was highly dependent on the concentration of protein present during the folding experiment. Experimental controls provide evidence that ANS binds to protein aggregates, present at higher concentrations and absent at lower concentrations. Protein concentration-dependent folding studies demonstrate that, at lower interleukin-1β concentrations, tryptophan fluorescence kinetics can be fit adequately with a two exponential fit. This study indicates that (1) measured interleukin-1β folding kinetics fit to a 2 phase model and (2) at higher protein concentrations, transient association of IL-1β may result in a kinetic fit of 3 phases.

YouTube, the most famous and global video sharing platform, is home to an overwhelming amount of content creators, spanning across a multitude of different genres. However, the monetization scheme and the adpocalypse that followed have changed things for the worse.
YouTube channels come in many different shapes and sizes and for different purposes. Some people use the platform solely to privately share videos with family and friends, whilst others use it to produce content for the rest of the world to see. In fact, it has even gotten to the point where many people have resorted to their YouTube channels as their full-time job and therefore their primary source of income. Even though this was a pretty solid plan of action for a while, YouTube has changed a couple of its rules and their approach to this monetization scheme as well. As a result, many YouTubers now make significantly less money than they did before and are publicly criticizing YouTube for their approach. One content creator, Matthew "MagikarpUsedFly" Castro, voiced his opinion in a somewhat satirical manner in the video below.
Language warning: The following video contains strong language use.
To be able to sustain a platform as massive as YouTube, lots of money for maintenance has to be in place somewhere within the organisational strcture of said platform. This money is almost always earned through the use of advertisements, and in the case of the internet: targeted advertisements. Because the concept of Web 2.0 involves having a highly interactive and therefore dynamic internet, the user will be bombarded with advertisements when they enter a site such as YouTube. These advertisements come in vaious forms, such as banner advertisements during a video and regular advertisements that play before the content the user actually came to watch.
As discussed by Joëlle Farchy in "The Youtube Reader", YouTube provides its advertisers with all kinds of possibilities to promote their content. The more demands an advertiser may have, the more YouTube can charge them for their provided advertising services. Since YouTube could easily be considered to be a global platform, the reach that these advertisers will have by using YouTube to place their ads is quite literally worldwide. In the U.S. alone, advertising expenditures on the internet reached roughly 30 billion dollars back in 2007, an amount which was expected to be doubled in 2010. In the European market, the 7.7 billion euros spent for online advertising in 2007 was expected to grow to 13.9 billion by 2012 (The Youtube Reader, n.d.).
Content creators are eligible for a partnership with YouTube when they meet certain requirements, like having 10,000 total video views, as of April 2017 (Investopedia 2017), which in turn allows them to monetize their videos. Generally speaking, monetization makes it possible for you to make money with your videos, by letting YouTube use them for advertisement purposes. These advertisements are the largest factor in how much money you will make. By allowing YouTube to do this, third parties will generate revenue and a portion of said revenue goes to you as the content creator. This revenue is generated on a per-click basis, so every time an advertisement pops up on a video, those 5 unskippable seconds will produce a certain amount of money for the YouTuber, as well as the advertiser. Through this system, many YouTubers make a modest living and are able to sustain themselves.
This, along with various other platforms other than YouTube, plays a large part in Google's business model. When they acquired YouTube back in 2006, they also acquired AdWords and DoubleClick, two advertising services. YouTube then started to experiment with advertisements on videos. This eventually became the Youtube Partner Program (YPP) and allowed YouTubers to generate income through their videos. Since YouTube was now a part of Google, all of the data gathered using Google Search results could now be used for targeted advertising, as a byproduct of Web 2.0. This is because you are now within Google's ecosystem. The videos you watch on YouTube will affect the advertisements you see in the search engine and vice versa.
Another result of the YPP is that videos created by partnered content creators would often gain priority in YouTube's algorithms (Van Dijck 2013). Their videos would, for example, get priority for being shown on the YouTube homepage, your personal feed, customized through subscription services, or even your recommended videos list. This can be seen as a form of subtle encouragement to watch certain types of videos that may interest you and will therefore cause you to broaden your horizon. From a more economic perspective, it is also a highly clever, yet simple, plan for increasing the amount of revenue YouTube, advertisers and content creators make. What will happen is that while your YouTube experience is being dominated by YouTube picking your videos for you, the chance that you will discover an 'up-and-coming YouTuber' or 'someone with talent' are significantly lower. It seems that YouTube now values advertising profits over creativity.
Additionally, the fact that advertisements generate income on a pay-per-click basis indirectly encourages foul play from content creators. By using titles and/or thumbnails of mysterious or suggestive nature, people are more likely to click on their videos due to being intrigued. However, these elements are usually unrelated to the content of the video itself and are solely used to lure you in. This phenomenon is known as 'clickbait' and is not a problem exclusive to YouTube. It is also a common trend on certain news sites to increase the traffic they get. However, on YouTube it can be considered more profitable. Once a video has been clicked on and the advertisement starts playing, the money has already been made. Even if you were to leave after 10 seconds because you realize that you've been tricked, they have already profited from your click.
Even though YouTube's YPP strongly encourages content creation and sharing, it also looks like easy money for a significant amount of people. Plenty of these "anybodies" who haphazardly publish unpolished content for a quick buck show they do not actually hold any skills in the art of video making. The quality of their videos therefore suffers, yet they still profit from their videos due to YouTube's monetization scheme. In the highly unllikely case one of their videos goes viral, it is immeasurably more successful than someone's video that has been produced with a lot of skill and technical expertise.
This concept is also described as the "participation dilemma". According to Eggo Müller (2009), the dilemma is that whilst non-professionals are now able to enter the field and contribute to it, the surge of newcomers also means that they will tend to ignore professional standards and techniques that have already been developed. In those instances where these inexperienced newcomers are trained to incorporate professional standards, this will simply recreate the participatory cultures that existed prior to the entry of said newcomers.
In the summer of 2017, YouTube started to demonetize a lot of videos because of some controversy that took place on the video-sharing platform. For one, it was found that certain groups such as Hezbollah were uploading videos and monetizing them. Not only were Hezbollah promoting their immoral actions, they were profiting from their videos as well. On a more local scale, Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg uploaded a video in January 2017 for which he paid some people to hold signs saying "Death to all Jews". Given the name and status that PewDiePie holds in the YouTube community as the most subscribed to (59 million as of January 2018) and therefore most famous content creator, this created a lot of controversy. This incident also caused Disney, with whom PewDiePie was working at the time, to cut ties with him. He has since claimed that the video was supposed to be satirical and has taken it down.
Because of these two events, many third parties withdrew their partnership with YouTube, causing a large drop in revenue for both YouTube and its content creators, often referred to as the 'adpocalypse'. As advertisers slowly made their way back to the platform, YouTube started employing artificial intelligence to decide whether content is 'adpropriate' or not. This meant that videos would be checked against the YouTube guidelines as they were uploaded and were only then considered for monetization. Whilst this may sound like an effective system, in reality it is far from it.
The system is continuously demonetizing videos for seemingly no particular reason and that is affecting many YouTubers' ad revenue. Whilst it is possible for creators to appeal to YouTube to manually check their videos and make them eligible for monetization again, the lion's share of the views a video gets is always within the first three days of upload and those views will go unrewarded. On top of that, because of the sheer number of videos uploaded, it could take a while for YouTube to act on the false demonetization. As a result, YouTube has offered a solution to its partners: "If you want to check the monetization status before making the video public, you can upload it as unlisted. If you think we got it wrong and your channel has more than 10,000 subscribers, you can appeal, and we will review your unlisted video regardless of view count." (Forbes 2017). However, as seen in MagikarpUsedFly's video above, that system is still flawed and a video preapproved for monetization might still be demonetized after a short period of time.
At the beginning of MagikarpUsedFly's video above, he tried his luck with the monetization system by uploading his video as unlisted, to get it checked by the system. After it was deemed 'not advertiser friendly', he removed all of the inappropriate content and proceeded to re-upload his video as normal, only for it to remain demonetized, causing a drop in his revenue. Whilst this does not affect him that much, he says, it does pose a very large problem for smaller YouTubers, which is featured throughout the video, because their viewership is incredibly small compared to other YouTube giants.
Given that advertisers pay the creators on a pay-per-click basis, they make little money as it is. After the adpocalypse and YouTube's implementation of artifical intelligence to monitor the initial monetization status of videos, they make even less money. This serves as a very high barrier of entry for anyone who would like to enter this 'business', making it very difficult, if not almost impossible, for them to succeed on the platform. YouTube, in a global sense, could then be considered an oligopolistic market because of this. As a result of the demonetization significantly cutting the income of smaller-size YouTubers, many creators resort to a Patreon account, on which fans can directly contribute money to their favorite YouTubers in exchange for exclusive content. Naturally, the fame of Patreon has significantly increased since the adpocalypse, and could pose a potential threat to YouTube if YouTube maintains their current course.
TotalBiscuit, as well as other YouTubers, state that the primary issue they have with YouTube as a governing body is that the platform does not communicate with its creators. YouTube are making all of these decisions by themselves and are forcing them onto their users without their consideration. Given the size of YouTube as a media platform, they should be very clear on what the creators should be doing to succeed if they want to maintain their highly successful business model.
According to TotalBiscuit, the communication used to be a lot better and more effective when the platform was still considerably smaller. Advertisers would come to Google and ask for content to be produced with regards to their products, and Google would suggest a group of YouTubers that the product could work well with. That way, they also immediately reach the right target audience.
Not only is the communication from YouTube bad, they are now also being scrutinized for the disrespectful way they treat their creators. For example, at the end of each year, YouTube creates a video titled 'YouTube Rewind' in which they review the year's hottest trends and memes. This also includes a lot of live appearances from famous YouTubers. However, because YouTube is an ever-growing platform, that number of 'famous YouTubers' keeps rising every year and YouTube is having a very difficult time managing the creation of the rewinds. They used to properly star all the YouTube celebrities and give them a spotlight like in the 2013 Rewind. With their 2017 rewind, it seems that these same YouTubers only get a maximum of two seconds screentime, and therefore I find myself pausing the video every couple of seconds to see if I recognize anyone. Emma Blackery, a British YouTuber has expressed her disappointment at YouTube for the way they were treated, discussing how she, among others, had to be present at the filming location for excessive amounts of time only to gain about 2 seconds of screentime, despite being 'promised' a substantial scene by YouTube, which is actually only used in the credits reel where it hardly has any presence.
Many YouTubers have adressed the issues that they are now facing, such as the demonetization and the general partnership issues with YouTube. This includes many popular YouTubers, such as CaseyNeistat and Philip DeFranco, explaining the situation in more detail for their audiences whilst giving their opinion, as well as various other YouTubers from different genres like Marques Brownlee, Emma Blackery, MatthiasVlogs, MagikarpUsedFly, TotalBiscuit and NerdCubed, who has already had to take numerous prolonged breaks from producing YouTube content as it was no longer a sustainable form of income for him, despite his large viewership and largely loyal fanbase.
All the aforementioned issues regarding (de)monetization are to be taken into consideration alongside the fact that many viewers use an AdBlocker, which directly blocks advertisements from ever being shown and therefore directly affects ad revenue, or the concept of hard-advertising in which an advertisement or product placement is a part of the video content itself. This kind of advertising is observed with the Linus Media Group, as seen at the start of this video. These advertisements are placed as a result of direct communication between Linus Media Group and select sponsors, bypassing YouTube as the middle man.
What does this mean for YouTube?
The advertisements that are on your YouTube videos are of great importance to their creators. They provide revenue, which becomes the money they use to sustain themselves. Now that YouTube has started automating their monetization process, an increasing number of YouTubers are losing that money due to a faulty system. Because of this, many YouTubers have resorted to platforms such as Patreon to receive direct contributions from their fans, in exchange for exclusive content. Many creators have publicly complained to YouTube and asked for guidance regarding the current state of affairs, only to be met with silence. Despite the 'adpocalypse' having occurred in the summer of 2017, half a year later, these creators still do not have a reliable solution to their problems.
Most of these YouTubers can be considered having reached the point of no-return and therefore they need to continue on with their YouTube career to make a living. Due to the lack of communication from YouTube to its creators, people's livelihoods are being affected because of the decrease in income, which they have little to no control over. Given all the continuous confusion and controversy, can creators really have any faith in YouTube to give them the financial security and the creative platform they need?

One of the biggest outgoing transfers is set to happen this transfer window, with Chelsea midfielder Ramires set to join Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning.
The fee is believed to be in the region of £25m; and with Ramires turning 29 in March, this looks to represent a good piece of business for the Premier League champions.
The Brazilian midfielder joined the Blues in 2010 for a fee of £18m and his marauding midfield displays have helped them achieve five major honours scoring 37 goals in 242 games.
His most notable goal came in the Camp Nou, when Chelsea beat Barcelona en route to Champion’s League glory that season.
The Brazilian has started for Chelsea in the Premier League since the 2-1 defeat by Leicester City in December. He also recently signed a new four-year deal in October.

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF) are solid fuels made from non-hazardous waste which are used to produce energy.
The processes used to produce RDF and SRF must ensure that they comply with the specifications and classifications laid out in the standard NF-EN-15359.
This standard provides for the classification of RDF and SRF based on an economic criterion (their LHV, or Lower Heating Value), a technical criterion (their chlorine content) and an environmental criterion (their mercury content). | 2019-04-26T16:57:04 | https://www.aktid.fr/en/realisations-en/combustibles-en/ |
This study is concerned with the automatic identification (auto-ID) industry which first came to prominence in the early 1970s. Auto-ID belongs to that larger sector known as information technology (IT). As opposed to manual identification, auto-ID is the act of identifying a living or nonliving thing without direct human intervention. Of course, the process of auto-ID data capture and collection requires some degree of human intervention, but the very act of authenticating or verifying an entity can now be done automatically. An entity can possess a unique code indicating personal identification or a group code indicating conformity to a common set of characteristics. Some of the most prominent examples of auto-ID techniques that will be explored in this book include bar code, magnetic-stripe, integrated circuit (IC), biometric and radio-frequency identification (RFID). The devices in which these techniques are packaged include a variety of form factors such as labels and tags, card technologies, human feature recognition, and implants.

Location-based services (LBS), more than any other mobile commerce application area has served to bring together information technology and telecommunications (IT&T) industries. While much has been written on the potential of LBS, literature on how it is a catalyst for digital convergence is scant. This paper identifies and explores the various levels of converging technologies in mobile commerce by using three LBS case studies. Through literal replication the findings indicate that IT&T technologies are converging at the infrastructure, appliance and application level. It is predicted that mCommerce applications will increasingly rely on industry convergence to achieve their desired outcomes.
Location-Based Services (LBS) is a branch of m-Commerce that has revolutionised the way people communicate with others or gather timely information based on a given geographic location. Everything living and non-living has a location on the earth’s surface, a longitude and latitude coordinate that can be used to provide a subscriber with a wide range of value added services (VAS). Subscribers can use their mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA) or laptop to find information relating to their current location. Typical LBS consumer applications include roadside assistance, who is nearest, where is, and personal navigation. LBS business applications differ in their focus and many are linked to core business challenges such as optimising supply chain management (SCM) and enhancing customer relationship management (CRM). Some of the more prominent LBS business applications include: fleet management (incorporating vehicle navigation), property asset tracking (via air, ship and road) and field service personnel management (i.e. people monitoring). The emergency services sector in the United States (US) was responsible for driving the first pin-point location service, demonstrating to the world the potentially life-saving functionality of the technology. As of October 2003, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforced that wireless operators provide the Automatic Location Identification (ALI) of a caller to the emergency dispatcher. ALI standards designate that more than two-thirds of emergency calls received require the location of the individual to be accurate to within 50 metres, and 95 per cent of calls to within 150 metres. The technology is available for potential mass market deployment, how feasible it is however is a separate issue altogether. This paper provides an overview of the devices, applications and technologies used by three companies that offer LBS applications. The overall aim is to show the current state of development in leading edge LBS product innovations and to demonstrate that LBS have served to bring together information technology and telecommunications (IT&T) industries. The first section of the paper reviews previous literature and develops an analytical framework for the investigation; second each LBS product innovation will be examined; and third a discussion on the high-level effects LBS has had on IT&T convergence ensues.
2.1 Who, what, when, where & wi-fi?
The evolution of mobile location-based services has been well documented in a paper by Rao and Minakakis (1). This article summarises the platforms, technologies and standards of mobile LBS and does well to differentiate between the various techniques that can be used to determine an accurate location of an object or individual. These techniques include: cell identifier (cell ID), global positioning systems (GPS), assisted global positioning system (aGPS), and the broadband satellite network. Zeimpekis et al. (2) go into more explicit detail about each of these and identify a whole range of indoor and outdoor positioning techniques categorising these into “self positioning” and “remote positioning”. It should also be noted that location technologies can be classified as either handset-based or network-based. Cousins and Varshney (3) provide a brief overview of the location framework required for mobile location services whereas Varshney (4) goes into greater depth for each element in the framework. Balatseng and Hanrahan (5) specifically use the Global System for Mobile (GSM) to describe the logical architecture required to support mobile station positioning. Maass (6) can be credited with an implementation-level paper on location-aware mobile applications based on directory services. Varshney’s (4) paper however stands out from the rest of the literature in that he makes the important connection between the type of service offering and the level of accuracy required. He also includes the wireless LAN (wi-fi) network in the location management architecture, instituting radio frequency identification (RFID) as a significant technology embedded in the LBS framework.
In terms of target markets for LBS, Rao and Minakakis (1) identify three target markets including the consumer, niche consumer/ business, and industrial/ corporate. Cousins and Varshney (3) also separate state-driven applications from those that are business driven which is important when discussing the overall capabilities (present and future) of LBS (7). Typical services specified by most authors range from mapping, directory services, shopping, alerting, SCM, CRM, intelligent transportation, emergency and e-health. These can be applied in any given scenario- Business-to-Consumer (B2C), Business-to-Business (B2B) and even Citizen-to-Government (C2G) relationships. Interestingly the work of Burak and Sharon (8) on FriendZone is among the few analysing usage of a single LBS commercial application. The distinction between push and pull services is also important (4). The FriendZone service is a ‘push’ mode of operation allowing a subscriber to locate friends and acquaintances nearby, whereas checking on the next movie showing closest to a location is an example of a ‘pull’ mode of operation. Some of the more common revenue business models for LBS services include the traditional subscription-based model, pay-per-view, micropayments and application service provider (ASP) facilitator (1).
The gap in the literature is two-fold. First, a paper needs to be written showcasing cutting edge LBS product innovations that reveal the current state of development. A lot of sensational material exists in the popular media about what is possible with LBS but a candid view of billable applications that are being offered now is required. Second, a look at how LBS is spurring on convergence at various levels within IT&T needs to be demonstrated. Traditional telephone companies are no longer the typical service providers (SPs). New business models are changing the rules of engagement between established companies and new entrants who are looking for niche markets. The definite move toward a packet-based solution using Internet Protocol (IP) is also blurring the line between the once easily identifiable carrier-grade applications and enterprise-level offerings. The need to reduce the time-to-market (TTM) for opportune LBS was exemplified during the SARS outbreak in 2003. Hong Kong mobile telephone operator, Sunday, rapidly developed and launched an application that warned subscribers via short message service (SMS) about buildings with confirmed or suspected SARS cases within approximately one kilometre radius of their location.
The research approach for this paper is exploratory. Multiple case studies will be used to gather evidence to satisfy the two main objectives stated above. The main unit of analysis is the product innovation, and the sub-unit of analysis is the LBS technology used to implement that product innovation. Three US companies have been chosen for this study, each with billable LBS market applications. AT&T Wireless (www.attwireless.com), Wherify Wireless (www.wherifywireless.com) and Applied Digital Solutions (www.adsx.com) offer product innovations that represent the diverse ways that LBS applications can be implemented. The case study protocol is composed of the following questions: What is the product innovation? What are the LBS applications the company can support? When were the company’s LBS services officially launched? Who is the target market? What kind of device(s) is/ are being used by the subscriber? What are the subscriber pricing plans (i.e. connection, monthly, usage fees)? Is it a carrier-grade or enterprise-level application? What is the level of accuracy when locating a subscriber? What do the LBS services require in terms of IT&T? It is the latter question that pertains to showing that LBS is a catalyst to IT&T convergence. In citing Kampas, Chen (9) provides a high-level framework for possible convergence at three separate layers occurring at the infrastructure, appliance and application levels. Chen also describes the notion of “colliding industries” including the communication, electronics, computing and information/ entertainment sectors.
The data gathered by the researcher will be drawn completely from information provided on the company web sites published between the period of April 2002 and April 2004. The online documentation reviewed will typically include: company background, product briefs, application user guides, technical specifications and press releases. In this manner, the method of investigation can be considered wholly e-research (10). External validity is ensured given that the companies are registered on the New York Stock Exchange and must provide factual content to their present and potential subscriber base. The possibility of researcher bias is minimised in this paper given its intent is not to prove that one service is better than another, but to document the current state of development.
AT&T Wireless was the first mobile carrier to launch m-Commerce applications in the US in July 2001. Following the success of NTT Docomo’s i-mode and c-mode in Japan, mMode provided a value-added data-centric package to AT&T’s voice and SMS basic plans. Subscribers to mMode can use numerous devices to communicate including IP-enabled phones, PDAs, handhelds and even vertical devices such as the Panasonic Toughbook and Microslate Sidearm. The service is carrier-grade and is based on a GSM network architecture that uses new network elements, namely the Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC), Serving Mobile Location Centre (SMLC), and the Location Measurement Unit (LMU). AT&T Wireless is now rolling out the general packet radio service (GPRS) network and EDGE technology, increasing bandwidth by targeting specific coverage areas as demand increases and it becomes economically justifiable to do so. The accuracy of the specific location-based applications is dependent upon the general location of the mobile transmission tower most recently contacted by the customer’s device. For example, the IP device could be right next to a tower or some fifteen kilometres away. In metropolitan areas the accuracy is greater given the number of base transceiver stations is higher than in less urbanised areas.
mMode’s location identification is not pin-point such as in the Wherify Personal Locator solution that is based on a combination of GPS satellites and code division multiple access (CDMA) PCS network triangulation methods. The Personal Locator wrist-worn device is accurate within 30 metres of the wearer, possibly even as close as a metre. The GPS device can be controlled by both the subscriber and individual wearer, allowing the parent subscriber to track the wearer, and for the wearer to alert the parent subscriber and/or location centre headquarters in case of an emergency. Coverage is available throughout the US given the GPS capability but is dependent on the PCS network coverage footprint. The Wherify frequently-asked-questions (FAQs) page (11) states: “[i]f a GPS signal is received, but the Locator is outside the digital wireless coverage area or does not receive a digital wireless signal, no location report will be provided. If the Locator receives a digital wireless signal, but no GPS signal is available, a CDMA tower-based location report will be available for emergencies.” On December 30th 2003, Wherify unveiled its new GPS Universal Locator Phone which is targeted at all age groups of both the consumer and business market.
While mMode requires the subscriber to carry a device, and the Personal Locator requires an individual to wear a device, VeriChip is radical in that it requires the subscriber to be implanted with a microchip (see table 1 for a comparison list of attributes). The campaign to Get Chipped was launched in early 2003, and the first person to do so formally was implanted in September of that year. The chipping procedure only lasts a few minutes. There are a number of Veri centres where the procedure can take place in the US and internationally. There is even a high-tech ChipMobile bus fully equipped to perform the implant procedure, ‘on the road’. Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX) initially invested heavily in another product they called the Digital Angel in 2002, which resembled the Personal Locator solution but aimed at a broader market base than just children. The Digital Angel wristwatch was more slim-line but required the user to carry an additional wallet with battery power. While remnants of the Digital Angel web site are still operational today, it is the VeriChip which has become the flagship product of the VeriChip Corporation (a subsidiary of ADSX). About the size of a grain of rice, the VeriChip is the world’s first subdermal radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip. According to an ADSX press release (12): “[t]he standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm.” In theory an implantee could be identified in a wi-fi network, such as in a workplace or university campus. Whereas GPS has limitations in-building locations due to construction materials used, RFID thrives in a local area network (LAN) setting, allowing walkways and door entries to act as scanners. RF energy from the scanner triggers the dormant VeriChip and in turn sends out a signal containing the unique verification number. The exchange of data is transparent and seamless in the case of RFID, there is no need to physically stop to verify a biometric feature- the network is ubiquitous. In another scenario, an individual could be identified by the RFID implant, giving emergency services access to the implantee’s medical data and history that could be potentially life-saving. Unlike other fixed services, m-Commerce applications grant the subscriber access to services twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In the case of the VeriChip it is not only “always on” but “ever-present” inside the body of the subscriber. Unlike physical biometric attributes, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye.
mMode is heavily oriented towards the consumer market, although AT&T Wireless also offer package deals to business users specifically for the purposes of email (plus attachments), web access, and remote access. mMode was marketed as the beginning of mLife, next generation services that ‘one could not live without’ (13). Among its mCommerce suite that includes news, music and finance services are a number of LBS solutions (a list of these can be found in table 2). mMode’s LBS applications are diverse- everything from a mobile traffic report to directions ‘to the nearest’ and find people nearby (14). Some of the more creative LBS are chat and date, and travel and dining. There are four plans subscribers can choose from including: mini, mega, max and ultra. The plans are charged monthly ranging from $2.99 to $19.99 USD and include a limited megabytes (MB) download. Additional usage fees are charged at between 2c and 0.6c per extra kilobyte (KB) received or sent, dependent on the plan. These fees do not include voice calls and SMS. The mMode service is bundled allowing the subscriber maximum personalisation to choose from any application they require. The myMode web site allows the subscriber to customise their preferences and settings.
In contrast to AT&T Wireless, Wherify strategically chose to enter the market with a niche LBS application for a Personal Locator Just For Kids, specifically targeted at parents of children between the age of four and twelve. The device previously cost $399 USD but was recently slashed for a “back to school special” to $199. Monthly plans for the LBS application range from an average of $19.95 to $44.95 dependent on the plan chosen (liberty, independence or freedom). There is a one-time activation fee of $35 USD plus usage fees related to additional page requests above the included locates, additional operator assistance calls and subsequent emergency calls. Wherify makes it clear that it is looking to diversify to other niche applications including Alzheimer’s and law enforcement, even though the Locator for Kids is the only marketable application demoed on the web site at the present time (15).
There is little information on the ADSX web site about the pricing of the VeriChip, however it is stated that the global VeriChip subscriber (GVS) registry subscription fee is $9.95 USD monthly. There is a cost for the implant medical procedure as well, although this is not provided. In 2002 the first one hundred pre-registered persons were granted a $50 USD discount on the chipping procedure (16). The pricing for the new VeriPay and VeriGuard services has yet to be published on the WWW and probably will not be given these are typically targeting business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) solutions which are highly complex in design. The “Trusted Traveller” and residential security programs (i.e., prisoners serving their sentence from home) are two examples of VeriGuard LBS applications. One desirable feature of VeriGuard is that it could operate in conjunction with other auto-ID technologies like smart cards and biometrics, rendering customer legacy systems reusable.
4.4.1 mMode: how does it work?
Using the “find people nearby” service, the GSM/ GPRS network works as follows to determine a subscriber’s approximate location. An application request is made by a subscriber. The application server subsequently makes a location request to the gateway mobile location centre (GMLC). The GMLC in turn queries the home location register (HLR) and then contacts the appropriate mobile switching centre (MSC). Another location request is generated to identify the base station controller (BSC) where the mobile is currently using the serving mobile location centre (SMLC). The BSC then can use the location measurement unit (LMU) alongside the appropriate base transceiver stations (BTS) to determine the location of the subscriber by using the uplink time distance of arrival (UTDOA). The location information is then sent back via the above-mentioned pieces of hardware/ software until the message reaches the application server and a response is given to the subscriber. The AT&T Wireless web site provides an excellent facility to aid external developers of mobile solutions (17). Freely available for download are whitepapers, style guides, software development kits (SDK), programming guides, sample code and emulators. In table 3 can be found the major building blocks of the mMode technical solution.
AT&T Wireless differs significantly from Wherify and Applied Digital Solutions, given it owns much of its network infrastructure. AT&T Wireless also has a large existing customer base that is used to an excellent quality of service (QoS) and certain level of post sales support. Launching LBS applications nation-wide with potentially tens-of-thousands of new subscribers joining daily, requires equipment that can handle data traffic levels and systems that have been thoroughly tested for faults. mMode contains diverse LBS services- ensuring that each of these works properly and is interoperable with a range of media devices is a labour-intensive activity which is one reason why they have decided to outsource as well.
Wherify’s location service centre (LSC) is at the heart of its current and pending product innovations. A carrier-class server and software hub, the LSC manages and presents location-based information. Unlike mMode, Wherify utilises wireless data and aGPS. Consider the following scenario where a parent wants to be reassured that their child made it to school alright after missing the bus. The parent requests a location report via the Internet using a Microsoft IE browser (or ringing the toll-free telephone number). The LSC contacts the child’s Personal Locator via the PCS network (if within the footprint), and then downloads the current GPS data and requests a location. Using the data from the LSC, the device that is identified by an electronic serial number (ESN), finds the closest satellite and then computes the longitude and latitude coordinates of the child’s location. The Personal Locator then communicates location information to the LSC and the LSC generates a location report for the parent via the Internet. The whole process from request to report takes about sixty seconds. The parent is able to look at the report visually on a scalable map which shows streets and other feature points in a vector or aerial view, using geographic information systems (GIS) capabilities. Each report requested by the parent is logged in the customer’s event file database for billing and subscriber profiling. The location database includes a time stamp along with the longitude/ latitude coordinates. The wearer’s profile is also stored including: age, gender, height, weight and features.
Wherify make no secret of their technology partners. They include an impressive list of companies: SiRF who provide the GPS chipset that is integrated into the Personal Locator based on a-GPS; Qualcomm for the CDMA chipset; Baldwin Hackett & Meeks who are applications developers, Conexant who provide the RF board; Advanced Micro Systems who specialise in flash memory; Compaq for the server technology; Intrado for emergency communications; and GlobeXplorer Online for the component of aerial photography. Security firewalls are paramount in the Personal Locator system as is redundancy and fault tolerance. During an emergency situation for instance, the LSC is even able to interact with public safety answering points (PSAP) through Wherify’s emergency operation service. There are customer care representatives available 24x7x365.
The least complex of the three case studies in terms of technology requirements is the VeriChip. RFID networks are usually small in scale when compared to nation-wide or global networks. They include the following components: the RFID transponder, a reader that captures information, an antenna that transmits information, and a computer which interprets or manipulates the information gathered. In the case of VeriChip, there is a requirement that each subscriber registers their personal details (and other relevant information they desire) on the GVS database. At this stage all the transponders issued by VeriChip are passive but it is likely that active transponders will be issued in the future, despite the fact that they require on-board battery power to operate internal electronics. When an individual passes an associated scanner, information is read and sent to the computer via an antenna. Dependent on the application, a log may be retained or the implantee’s location updated a predefined number of times in a set period. Given global standards are an issue for debate in RFID, proprietary systems are used.
Convergence means different things to different people and is usually loosely applied to denote the coming together of two distinct technologies, i.e. the merging of several products into a single good. The 2003 Penguin Concise Dictionary states that convergence is a “jargon term” and gives examples of the merging of the television (TV) and computer, or telephone and computer, or TV and WWW. To anyone who has studied technological trajectories at any length, convergence is far from being a jargon term, but a well-constituted concept in the field of innovation (18, 19, 20). Terms like “digital convergence”, “technological convergence”, “application convergence” and “industry convergence” have been used interchangeably in some instances, and in others each has carried a loaded meaning. For example, Covell (18) states: “(d)igital convergence is the merging of these improved computing capabilities, new digital multimedia technologies and content, and new digital communications technologies. This combination of computing power and functionality, digital networked interconnectedness, and multimedia capability enables new forms of human interaction, collaboration, and information sharing.” Greenstein and Khanna (20) on the other hand, distinguish between “convergence in substitutes” and “convergence in complements”. The distinction of these ‘kinds’ of convergence finally puts an end to the debate over usage. Convergence thus can occur at any level of detail, in any part of the subsystem.
Throughout this paper, technologies at the appliance, application and infrastructure level have been shown for each of the LBS cases. What can be seen is a coming together of what were once somewhat unrelated technologies. Most obvious perhaps is the convergence of wireless capabilities and the Internet as depicted in the mMode case. For example, IP-based phones can already receive voice, text and multimedia. And as for the vertical devices mentioned, many of these are converged technologies in themselves (e.g. the wireless PDA that is also a phone and MPEG3 player). In the case of Wherify, the traditional wristwatch has now been turned into a Personal Locator with the aid of a GPS chipset. And chip implants have found there way under the skin of human beings to converge with living tissue- chips once as big as bricks, now smaller in size than a grain of rice.
Yet it is not only at the device level that convergence is occurring. A whole suite of new applications are being created using content from syndicates, once considered to be unrelated. The Yellow Pages directory for instance, used to “find the nearest”, or “the best 10 nightlife” locations as well as providing “shopping discount alerts”. And geographic information systems once used for computer-aided design (CAD), now used to visually represent the geographic location trail of a child, using high resolution aerial photography once synonymous with superior defence intelligence systems. There are even applications like VeriPay that are forecasted to change the way that humans interact with other technologies like automatic teller machines (ATMs). Who needs to carry a card at all? Applications once used solely for businesses purposes, now permeating the consumer market given their cross-functional nature.
At the infrastructure level also, multiple network technologies are being used in tandem to locate subscribers including PCS with aGPS. Another example provided, was the VeriGuard system that will have the capability to incorporate other automatic identification (auto-ID) reader equipment belonging to smart card and biometrics. Even at the protocol level, the very essence of traditional voice calls will be packetised, i.e. voice will be data. It is obvious through the evidence provided in this paper that convergence in complements is occurring, given the products are working better together than separately (20). LBS has shown itself to also involve a diverse range of businesses from vertical and horizontal industries- from independent software vendors (ISVs) developing the applications, to third party suppliers building enabling technologies and platforms, toindustry bodies setting the appropriate standards for communications, to marketing consultants invited to develop and spearhead brand awareness campaigns. LBS brings not only the industries but the technologies to increasingly work together to form larger and larger systems (20).
Location-based services are pulling together a vast array of digital technologies like never before. The convergence between technologies is a cultural-changing force. Miniaturisation in design in particular is allowing for once separate technologies to be fused. From handset phones to smart watches to implants, the more invasive the technologies are becoming, the greater the precision for locating the subscriber or wearer or implantee. The question now, that all this technology can be used in an integrated fashion, is how far will entrepreneurs take LBS in the future? How many different players can become involved in offering LBS specifically before the state of affairs becomes too cluttered and confused? Do content providers reach mutually exclusive agreements with service providers (SPs) so that there is minimal conflict of interest? And if so, does this not limit the number of SPs to a few large players that can actually deliver LBS? And how many different types of LBS can one service provider practically offer? Looking at the dilemma from another perspective- will consumers require subscription to mMode, the Personal Locator and the VeriChip solution and carry with them a PDA, wear a GPS watch and be implanted with a chip, to circumvent a variety of limitations of each technology? Or are future directions set on a trajectory of even greater convergence proportions between all of the technologies discussed in this paper. For instance, will one device be able to cater for the needs at each level of accuracy- global, national, regional, local and in-building or will service providers amalgamate their networks to offer super-LBS services from satellite-based to network-based to LAN-based and PAN-based. Whatever the outcome, we are surely entering into a period where pervasive computing will become a dominant force in the way we live, work, and interact with one another.

In this chapter the story behind the development of individual auto-ID technology will be explored. First to highlight the importance of incremental innovation within auto-ID; second to show the growth of the auto-ID selection environment as being more than just bar code and magnetic-stripe technology; third to point to the notion of technological trajectory as applied to auto-ID; fourth to highlight the occurrence of creative symbiosis taking place between various auto-ID devices; and fifth to establish a setting in which results in the forthcoming chapters can be interpreted. The high-level drivers that led to each invention will also be presented here as a way to understand innovation in the auto-ID industry. | 2019-04-19T20:17:08 | http://www.katinamichael.com/research/tag/convergence |

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday arrested senior bureaucrat and a close aide of Sharif family Fawad Hassan Fawad in various corruption cases, including the Rs 14 billion Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme scandal.
NAB officials, after initially denying his arrest, said that the top civil servant was called to the bureau for questioning and later arrested for causing a loss of billions of rupees to the national exchequer in various scams.
Listing the corruption charges, NAB officials said Fawad wrongfully awarded the Ashiana contract to ‘favourites’ and illegally awarded contracts for nine CNG stations. Moreover, while being the provincial health secretary, Fawad acquired six mobile health units which were purchased at a higher-than-market rate, according to the NAB.
The former aide to the Sharif brothers was also allegedly employed by Bank Alfalah although his request had been declined by the secretary establishment, and Sprint Energy (a JS Group subsidiary), where he allegedly prepared fake no-objection certificates for transfer of the site of a CNG pump from one district to another.
NAB Lahore director general said that Fawad will be presented in an accountability court on Friday to obtain his physical remand for further investigation.
A NAB source said Fawad had been summoned six times but joined the investigation only twice. NAB officials reportedly received approval from higher-ups to arrest Fawad, and subsequently took him into custody within the bureau’s premises when he failed to satisfy officials probing his alleged involvement in the Ashiana case.
According to a NAB official, the anti-corruption watchdog’s Rawalpindi office has opened a second case against Fawad in which he is accused of constructing a mega mall in the heart of Rawalpindi. The value of the property is said to be over Rs 12 billion. The construction of the multi-storey plaza is almost complete.
The complainant in this case has asked that how a grade-21 officer (Fawad) managed to construct and own such an expensive property. It has been claimed in the complaint that nine of the 10 floors of the building are owned by Fawad and his brother, who allegedly used their influence to secure financing from JS Bank for the building’s construction.
The complainant claimed that Fawad and his brother got the commercial plot – located opposite to the GPO in Sadar – in exchange for a residential plot on Rawalpindi’s Haider Road. | 2019-04-26T15:37:56 | http://www.transparency.org.pk/nab-arrests-sharifs-close-aide-fawad-hassan-fawad-on-corruption-charges/ |
The exotic flavour and taste and fleshiness of mushroom have made it an important delicacy in human diet.
Of the various types of mushrooms presently cultivated in the world, eight are important. These are : button, oyster, straw, shikate, woody ear, winter, silver ear and nameko. These account for 99 per cent of the total world production of mushrooms.
In India only three types, namely, button, oyster and straw mushrooms are commercially cultivated.
The lack of marketing avenues for mushrooms is a cause for the lack of interest among farmers in taking up cultivation.
The size of the units that are being set up in India have production capacities ranging from 250 to 3500 tonnes of fresh button mushrooms per year. | 2019-04-25T18:00:54 | http://www.primeinfoservices.com/agro--food-industry/fruits-vegetables/mushrooms |

Looking to give your benefits strategy a boost?
Showcasing and centralising benefits is one of the biggest challenges HR professionals face. In this eBook, we'll show you 26 new ways you can boost your benefits and ensure better uptake.
If you've got an awesome employee benefits program, it's not always safe to assume all your people know it exists or how to access all their benefits. Numerous studies show that you need to repeat your message at least 3 times (yes, 3!) before it really sinks in, while others say you need a certain number of touchpoints (anything from 6 to 13) before people take action. So, just announcing your benefits scheme to new staff when they join your organisation or hiding it in your employee handbook is definitely not enough to get engagement with it. With all the reading your people do in their first week of work, it’s likely they’ve already forgotten what information is even there!
A study by Metlife showed that while 68% of employers believe they educate their employees well about their benefits programs, just under 1 out of 3 (31%) of employees feel they have sufficient information.
What can you do to inform and excite your people about their employee benefits and maximise the investment you have made?
Investing in an employee benefits portal might seem like a big ask, but having an easily accessible (and updateable!) source where any employee can view information about the benefits will make a huge difference to the engagement and uptake of what you have on offer. Instead of having to find the right document, policy, or form, or wait to talk to someone, your employees have the option to self-serve and, in some cases, access some employee benefits immediately. Having a live portal also means you have the added benefit of being able to update information in real-time.
Uses their wellbeing benefit to pay for a gym membership or a dance class.
Uses employee discounts once a week when they do groceries.
Takes advantage of novated leasing offered by a corporate partner.
You just have to ask them what benefit they use, why, and what impact it’s had on them (it might be a financial, mental, or even relational benefit!), then spend another 15 minutes summarising that into a 250-400 word blog post, and 5 minutes to publish it. And voila!.
Whether you publish these employee stories weekly or monthly, by the end of the year you’ll have a collection of 12-50 stories from your people that demonstrate how employee benefits make a difference in people’s day-to-day lives! These also make compelling reading when you are recruiting new talent.
If you have a special employee discount or a window of time when employees can apply for certain benefits, use branded images and announcements to let people know. You can publish them in your regular comms channels, or run an email campaign with the image leading people to your employee benefits hub, where they can get more information.
The key is to use these opportunities to generate excitement while reinforcing your employer brand.
It’s not always easy to communicate with employees if they’re not working at a desk, if they’re not all in one location, or if they don’t all have company email addresses. One company we work with uses an Instagram account dedicated solely to notifying new and existing employees of their employee discounts and benefits programmes. It’s a great way to reach their young employee demographic where they are, and communicate in a way that’s relevant and fresh.
At the end of the day, your frontline managers are key to communicating information to your employee community. If supported with the right information and training, these leaders can help drive job satisfaction by encouraging and educating their team members to participate more fully in benefits programs.
Hard copy is still popular, so make sure your employee handbook at least contains a summary and a link to where they can find up-to-date information about their employee benefits. Posters and leaflets are also a great way to generate excitement about new or seasonal benefits – and are a great secondary channel to publish the stories you collected in point 2.
Quarterly or bi-annual town hall meetings or lunch and learns allow you to dedicate time to speaking about benefits programes, update new benefits and features and field questions your employees may have. Anyone with a smartphone or laptop with an inbuilt camera and microphone has the ability to create a video from that presentation — you can either record it during the meeting, film a summary that is emailed out or published on your employee communications channels.
Whether you employ just one or all of these tips, the key to nailing your employee communication efforts is to try a variety of different methods, channels and messages. Assume your people are always open to hearing about the benefits that are going to improve their work and personal life, and err on the side of safety. Rinse and repeat the message, keep it fresh and keep it front of mind. That way both new and existing employees always have more than enough information about your benefits program! | 2019-04-26T16:38:40 | https://www.rewardgateway.com/au/blog/how-to-communicate-your-employee-benefits-program |
Oh, yes! BUT. The new covers are gorgeous and I want them. But the series is sooooo long that I would need six bookshelves for the Warriors series alone.
No worries, we’ll build library shelves into the walls of our future home.
I’d say the Little House series. I remember getting it for Christmas when I was about 7. It’s one of those that I KNOW has been there the longest. The next one would probably be the Chronicles of Narnia. I have no idea which individual book’s been there the longest, though.
Not a bad series to have on your bookshelf, though!

A leading Scottish property solicitor has criticised Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown’s decision to abolish without notice the exemption for deprived areas from Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), saying that the measure would have an adverse impact upon the commercial property market in Scotland.
[ClickPress, Fri Mar 18 2005] A leading Scottish property solicitor has criticised Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown’s decision to abolish without notice the exemption for deprived areas from Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), saying that the measure would have an adverse impact upon the commercial property market in Scotland.
The highest rate of SDLT, which is paid by the purchaser, is currently 4% and is payable on transactions of more than £500,000.
However, deals in parts of Scotland that are designated as being “disadvantaged” were until midnight on Wednesday exempt from the levy.
But in his latest Budget Mr Brown scrapped the exemption, and experts believe that this will discourage commercial property investment.
Norman Geddes, senior partner of solicitors Frazer Coogans Commercial said: “This has caused consternation in the commercial property market. Because no notice was given, there are many transactions where the purchaser has agreed to buy property on the understanding that no SDLT is payable because it lies in a Disadvantaged Area.
then the purchaser now faces paying Stamp Duty at 4% when he expected none. On a £1 million deal this is £40,000, and on a £2 million deal it is £80,000 of tax, imposed without warning.
“The purchasers will either have to accept this unexpected penalty, or withdraw from the deal if they can, or try to renegotiate the price.
“The lack of notice has unfairly affected transactions which were already in progress. If some notice had been given, then transactions in process could have been completed and new transactions could be agreed in the knowledge that the tax would apply.
From their Ayr base, partners Norman Geddes, Austin Thomson, Lauren Fowler and associate Angus Logan – all experienced solicitors - along with their professional and dedicated staff, provide a comprehensive suite of legal services to Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland and the UK, with particular expertise in accident claims, personal injury damages, property conveyancing, divorce and family law, wills, estates and executries.

2010 July 25 » Change Myself. Change the World.
One of the best things about doing CrossFit is that you work extremely hard but rarely in exactly the same way. The workout yesterday was very creative, inspired by the wall and rope climbs in California.
It took me just under 25 minutes, about the same amount of time as our last workout out on the track in California. I definitely need a few more of the longer ones. Getting used to the 5 minute workouts makes the 25 minute ones feel like they are never going to end.
** We climbed over the rail outside the building and drop down over the concrete wall. Then we had to hoist ourselves back up the wall and over the rail. | 2019-04-22T20:25:04 | http://blog.changemyselfchangetheworld.com/2010/07/25/ |
apples | Healthy Product Reviews!!
Time for Thanksgiving review number 2! I figured applesauce and apple butter would fit the bill nicely. We always use applesauce as a compliment to the other dishes, but I like it in place of gravy with my turkey and I like using it as a condiment the next day for cold turkey and apple sandwiches. Yum! So i was excited to try products by Vermont Village Cannery. They make applesauce in the individual cups and jars in flavors Original Unsweetened, Raspberry, Mixed Berry, Peach, Strawberry–Banana, Maple Syrup, Tropical Mango, Cranberry and Cinnamon and they also make a Spiced Apple Butter. Basically, me being the fan of applesauce that i am, i’m in applesauce heaven. All of the products are naturally grown and made in Vermont, and the apples are purchased locally and are pesticide free. They also don’t have any added sugars or preservatives, and most of the products are organic if not all natural.
I got to try the Peach, Cinnamon, Strawberry Banana and Maple Syrup varieties of the applesauce, and the spiced apple butter. What did i think?
Each of the applesauces had a velvety smooth texture, which I absolutely loved. No chunks, pieces or even tiny blumps in these applesauces. It had a smooth feeling going down, and you can tell a lot of TLC was put into cooking and making the applesauces. I enjoyed every single flavor I tried.
Spiced Apple Butter- Vermont Village Cannery is awarded BEST APPLE BUTTER EVER. Seriously. This stuff BLEW ME AWAY. It had a buttery (heh, no pun intended) consistency and it was sweet despite no added sugar. It had a nice blend of a nutmeg/cinnamon/maple taste, and I would totally eat it out of the jar (in fact, i did 😉 ) . It was perfect on waffles and heated up. I also used it in place of jelly for my usual PB&J and let’s just say I didn’t miss my sweet grape jelly at all. This stuff is SO good YOU MUST TRY IT. 5 stars!!!
Overall, obviosuly I loved these products. There great and perfect this time of the year, and anytime in my eyes 🙂 I’m giving 4 stars to the applesauce, and 5 for the apple butter. I would like to try the tropical mango variety. It sounds delish! Clearly, Apples +Vermont Village Cannery = amazing. Keep up the good work!
What’s your favorite flavor of applesauce? Tell me here!
1 individual cup/ 1/2 cup applesauce ranges from 60-80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 16-20 carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein.

A TV Antenna rotor or rotator is a mast-mounted, motor-driven device that permits the TV viewer to conveniently rotate (orient) the outdoor TV antenna in any direction. It is started and stopped by a manually operated control unit that is placed indoors near the TV set. A multi-conductor wire carries the power and control signals from the indoor control unit to the mast-mounted drive unit. A rotor should be considered when the desired TV signals arrive at the receiving site from widely spaced directions that cannot be accommodated by the relatively narrow beamwidth of a single, fixed-position TV antenna. With a rotor, a viewer can conveniently orient the TV antenna in the direction of the desired channel’s transmitting tower, or in the direction that provides optimum reception of a particular channel. A rotor also permits convenient "fine tuning" of the TV antenna direction to compensate for variations in signal direction caused by changing atmospheric conditions or other signal-distracting conditions. Additionally, the rotor permits elimination of adjacent-channel and other types of interference that in some cases, can be solved by slight reorientation of the antenna.
The control unit of the automatic type rotor has a direction-calibrated knob (or dial). When this knob is turned to the desired compass direction, the drive unit automatically turns the antenna to that direction and then stops it.
Update: Today's Channel Master rotors still have a small control unit. The control unit can be operated at the control or by a hand held remote.
To install a rotor, first assemble the TV antenna and attach it to a short section of mast. (This short mast section later will be installed in the top part of the drive unit.) If the TV antenna is large and has boom braces, the short mast section must be long enough to accommodate the boom braces and possibly a rotor alignment bearing. A 3-1/2 foot section should be long enough. Use a shorter section if the antenna is small. Attach the transmission line to the antenna, and set aside the TV antenna and mast. Remove the bottom (or access plate) of the drive unit housing and attach the rotor wire. Rotor wire is available in many different styles; however, the most practical and economical kind has only three conductors. An example is Channel Master Rotor Wire Model No. 9554.) All Channel Master antenna rotors use 3 conductor rotor wire. To attach the rotor wire to the drive unit, first strip back the insulation on all conductors and solidly twist together the wire strands that make up each conductor. Be sure there are no loose strands; they may impair the performance of, or short out the rotor. Use connecting lugs to attach the wires to the rotor terminals.
The "reference wire" is either wider or is a different color than the other conductors. Connect it to terminal No. 1. Connect the middle wire to terminal No. 2, and the third wire to terminal No. 3. If you use four or five-conductor wire, attach the third, fourth, and fifth wires to terminal No. 3. shows the rotor wire connections to the drive unit.) The wires must not touch each other or the housing after they are connected. Cover each connection with an insulating material to prevent corrosion and rusting. Then reinstall the bottom (or access plate) of the housing. Next, attach the drive unit to the main mast. After this is done, insert the short mast (with the antenna attached) into the top of the drive unit An alignment bearing is absolutely necessary for large antennas or arrays to prevent excessive pressure on the drive unit. If you are installing a rotor alignment bearing, the main mast must extend far enough above the drive unit to hold the bearing in place An TV antenna (or array) large enough to require an alignment bearing should also be guyed above the level of the drive unit. Most alignment bearings have "eyes" for attachment of guy wires. A separate ball bearing guy ring should be used with an alignment bearing that does not have eyes for guy wires. It is attached to the mast above the alignment bearing. If the rotating mast is exceptionally long, use a ball bearing guy ring in addition to the guyed alignment bearing.
Coaxial cable should be used with all rotor installations to void interaction that can occur between rotor wire and 300 ohm twinlead. If you must use twinlead, keep it at least 3" away from the rotor wire and mat at all times. Again, the use of in-line double standouts before the rotor is recommended. The rotor wire should be connected to the control units in the same manner as it was connected to the drive unit. The reference wire is connected to terminal No. 1, the middle wire to terminal No. 2, and the third wire to terminal No. 3. Leave enough rotor wire at the control unit to permit movement of the unit to any point in the room.
The final step in a rotor installation is to synchronize the control unit with the drive unit. For fully automatic control units, turn the control dial (knob) clockwise to the due north setting and allow the TV antenna to rotate until the control unit stops it. Then, turn the dial counterclockwise to due north, again allowing the TV antenna to rotate until the control unit stops it. The installation is now synchronized. The process is the same for semi-automatic control units except that you must depress the clockwise and counterclockwise buttons one at a time until the TV antenna stops at north in both rotational directions. Anytime you believe the installation is out of synchronization, repeat the above process. Control units come with small adhesive stickers that can be placed on the control unit housing to indicate the best TV antenna position for each channel. When you have determined the best TV antenna position for a channel, place a sticker with the channel number in the appropriate spot on the control unit housing. The rotor installation is now complete. | 2019-04-21T20:04:04 | http://dennysantennaservice.com/rotator-installation.html |

Zelda has been a staple franchise of the Nintendo game universe for decades, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild promises to be a core part of that universe. Though it will be the 19th installment, it looks like it will be one of the most remarkable.
The Nintendo Japan YouTube channel has released several videos showing gameplay from the upcoming blockbuster.
There have also been some funny GIFs made of the teasers, like this one from Polygon where Link stands completely motionless for nearly twelve hours.
As indicated by the video and GIF above, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stands apart from its predecessors in various ways. It seems to be more open-world than previous titles, as players can play through the dungeons of the game in whatever order they’d like. The videos also show voice acting and HD resolution rendered by a detailed physics engine.
The open-world aspect of Breath of the Wild is one of the most remarkable. Reports indicate that it is as much as twelve times larger than that of Twighlight Princess.
In addition to the sheer size of the game, players also have the ability to explore it at their own pace and complete dungeons in any order.
Breath of the Wild will be the first main Zelda title to feature voice acting. However, only a few main characters are voice-acted — e.g., Princess Zelda and the Great Deku Tree. Reportedly, only some of the main scenes were to have voice acting initially, but in the end it was decided that all the cutscenes would have voice acting.
As with other Zelda games, in Breath of the Wild players control protagonist Link. He can climb on most surfaces, and the world is full of various items that will aide Link in his journey. | 2019-04-23T10:35:29 | https://www.bestgameslist.com/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/ |

Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls, the empowerment of women and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women’s mandate is tolead and coordinate the United Nations system’s efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It also provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
UN Women’s work in the area of Women’s Leadership and Participation aligns with intergovernmental resolutions to promote and monitor participation in decision-making at all levels of governments, parliaments, councils and political parties, as well as women’s participation and influence in other areas of civic engagement. UN Women’s mandate also focuses on increasing opportunities for women’s leadership in front-line service delivery.
PNG remains one of the countries globally where women still face challenges to participate equally in political and administrative governance. This is despite the PNG Government developing and amending laws and policies to promote gender equality however, implementation has been slow. At the sub-national and local government levels also, although mandated by law; women representations on district and ward councils remains a challenge. Since the first post-independence election of 1977, PNG has never had more than three women MPs in parliament at once within any constituted legislative assembly.
In the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB) in Papua New Guinea (PNG), UN Women has been working with demonstrable results, both the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) and civil society organisations to promote women’s participation in decision making and in, peace and security issues given the post-conflict context of Bougainville. In ARoB in 2015; a total of 34 women candidates contested the ABG election; making up approximately 10% of the total, the largest number of women candidates in any election.? Of these, 23 contested in the three reserved seats for women and for the first time, 11 women candidates ran in the open constituency seats. For these women, only one woman was successfully elected in the open seat.
In the recently concluded National General Election 2017, a record 167 women contested the elections against over 3,000 male candidates in PNG including ARoB. None of these women was successful including the three women MPS elected in 2012 NGE, who also lost their seats. Thus when the 10th Parliament sits in August, none of the 111 MPs will be female.
There are a number of associated factors towards women in leadership in PNG that includes; dominance of men in the political sphere, low levels of literacy, and high levels of corruption and gender-based violence. Slow legislative and policy reform to promote women leadership also remains one of the contributing factors along with limited capacity of women organisations to coordinate between other organisations to support women’s leadership roles. Negative perception of women in leadership also contributes towards women’s lack of electoral success in PNG and ARoB. On the other hand, while there are a good number of women leaders already present at the local and ward level, their need remains in increased skills and knowledge in areas such as literacy, public speaking, personal presentation, project planning and management, financial literacy and budgeting, computer skills, media and social media, campaigning, dialogue and listening, and community development amongst others.
Identify areas of collaboration with NCW, provincial/district/community governments to facilitate sub-national governance programming to address the existing gaps at this level.
Clarify institutional/governance structures and arrangements for facilitating women’s engagement at subnational levels .

The third key is faith and expectation. We are to watch and see what He will say. Notice it says ‘what’ He will say, not ‘if’’ He will speak. Jesus is waiting for us in the Secret Place. He says, “But you, when you pray, go into your room and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” (Matthew 6:6) Expect His presence. Believe He is waiting for you!
The fourth key is that we are to ‘record the vision’. We are instructed to keep a journal. It is essential to write down what God is showing us. Many times as I wait in God’s presence a picture will spontaneously appear in my mind. Once I have written that vision I will enter into a dialogue with the Lord. My first question is, “Lord, what does this mean?” Without hesitation, He always expands the vision and explains its significance. My journal reads like a novel with pages of dialogue between the Lord and me and artistic drawings to illustrate the visions I have seen.
After arriving in Sydney, Australia, my driver asked me a pointed question as we drove toward the hotel. “What is your story?"
I replied, “What do you mean?”, somewhat shocked by his straightforwardness.
His response has remained in my heart ever since. He was genuinely interested in my spiritual journey.
A journal is the written or recorded account of our journey in life. It is our story. Many famous people have recorded their journeys. John Wesley wrote volumes regarding his life and experiences. The early Christian mystics such as St Augustine, Fenelon, and Madam Guyon, as well as contemporary God seekers, have recorded their intimate encounters with God. These priceless volumes are guideposts and handbooks helping us to discover the reality of intimacy with God and the transforming power of His presence.
Much of the scripture must be considered as a personal journal. While it is true that the Torah is history, we cannot dismiss the fact that it was written like Moses’ personal journal. Consider the entire book of Revelation. What John saw on the island of Patmos was his personal experience on a spiritual journey into heaven and the presence of God. He had difficulty at times describing his God encounter. Words were inadequate to express all that he experienced. What he heard and saw he wrote about in his journal. It became the last book of the Bible.
We live in an age of information where keeping records and recording events is a part of our every day lives. What could be more important than keeping a Spiritual Journal? Whether it is written with paper and pen or digitally recorded, this personal record is a travelogue of your prayers, dreams, prophetic visions and God encounters. It is the dialogue of your conversations with God. The questions you ask and the answers He gives are all a part of your life’s’ journey. | 2019-04-19T14:48:03 | http://www.drdaleafife.com/journal/category/vision |
It’s been three years since we’ve heard new music from Blue Largo. The wait ended this month with the release of Before the Devil Steals Your Soul. Eric Lieberman and Alicia Aragon have assembled a talent-rich rhythm section from the wealth of Southern Californian artistry and the outcome is stellar. Of the 15 tracks, there are ten new Lieberman compositions and four cover songs. And almost all of them are designed to get you up on your feet. A special acoustic blues bonus track written and performed by Lieberman and album producer, Nathan James, closes out the project.
But make no mistake; this is a full-tilt big band with a solid blues core surrounded by brass, keys, and even a gospel chorale. They transition easily from swing blues to jump, jive, and jazz. Depending on the lineup, they are just as electric ripping up ’50s rock ‘n’ roll as they are putting their stamp on R&B classics and Motown soul. From start to finish this collaboration exemplifies the bands depth and diversity.
Great traveling tunes, “If I Can Make It to Augusta” and “Monrovia,” keep your toes tapping and the Latin-tinged “Bodas De Oro” adds an International flavor. The Electo Rosell-penned instrumental highlights the musical interaction between Lieberman’s guitar, pianist Taryn Donath, and percussionist Mike Tempo. You realize a project is based in love and friendship when it’s dedicated to the memory of no less than six friends. That includes the track “The Long Goodbye,” which touches on the devastation of Alzheimer’s and how difficult it is losing a friend while they are still alive. My bet is the CD won’t leave your player.
Blue Largo’s CD release takes place on Friday, October 19, at Tio Leo’s. | 2019-04-24T20:28:59 | https://sandiegotroubadour.com/2018/10/blue-largo-before-the-devil-steals-your-soul/ |

My cute friend Stacy is due any second now with her baby girl. So excited to meet her!
Stacy asked me to snap a couple belly shots the day before her due date to document her pregnancy, so we hurried out to my backyard and got a few.
I just can't believe how amazing she looks at 40 weeks pregnant! Seriously, not fair!
You are an incredible "budding" photographer. The best and fun shots. | 2019-04-20T14:40:11 | http://www.41avenueblog.com/2010/10/5-minute-maternity.html |

For taxpayers who itemize, the 2 percent miscellaneous itemized deduction was a handy catchall bucket for expenses such as investment fees and expenses and tax-preparation fees. It wasn't easy to qualify for this deduction _ your expenses had to top 2 percent of your adjusted gross income before you could claim them _ but it was a nice option to have.
Here's some good news: The new tax law trimmed income tax rates . That means short-term capital gains _ that's money you make when you sell certain investments that you've held for less than a year _ now also enjoy a slightly lower rate.
``If you've got short-term gains _ those are taxed as ordinary income _ they get the benefit of lower rates now, so there's a bit of a break there,'' says Tim Steffen, director of advanced planning at financial-services firm Baird, in Milwaukee.
If you're a real estate investor _ say, you purchase houses and rent them out, or some other such activity _ there's a chance the new 20 percent deduction on pass-through income will apply to you.
The rules are complex, but generally, to qualify for this deduction as a real estate investor, the IRS wants you to be operating a business. The IRS has announced some ``safe harbor'' rules to help clarify the types of activities that will allow real estate businesses to qualify for the deduction.
Before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA came with an out: By the tax-filing deadline _ when you would have to pay income tax on the money you converted _ you could reverse, or ``recharacterize,'' your decision.
Under the old rules, if you lost your job while you had a 401(k) loan outstanding, that loan became due within 60 days _ and if you didn't meet that deadline you risked owing taxes and a 10 percent penalty on that money.
And don't forget that you still have time to save on your 2018 taxes by putting money into a traditional IRA before April 15. Assuming you're eligible to deduct your contributions, the amount you contribute will reduce your taxable income _ and thus, your tax bill.
The maximum IRA contribution in 2018 was $5,500 ($6,500 if you're 50 or older). Keep in mind that's the max you can put in all of your traditional and Roth IRAs combined. And be sure to specify which tax year you want your contribution to go toward _ 2018 or 2019.

Congrats to my PONDER Research Team (Alisius Leong, Jiemin Looi, & Agnes Chuah)! Our focus group paper that looks at public perceptions of nuclear energy information in Southeast Asia is accepted for publication at Energy Research and Social Science!
Ho, S.S., Leong, A.D., Jiemin Looi, & Chuah, S.F. (in press). Online, offline, or word-of-mouth? Complementary media usage patterns and credibility perceptions of nuclear energy information in Southeast Asia. Energy Research and Social Science.
Many Southeast Asian countries are considering the adoption of nuclear energy to meet the rising energy demands and achieve energy efficiency. Considering the emerging regional salience of nuclear energy, this study seeks to understand the public’s media consumption patterns regarding nuclear-related information, and credibility perceptions of nuclear-related information sources in countries that are at a nascent stage of nuclear development. Focus groups were conducted with citizens aged between 18 and 69 from five Southeast Asian countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Overall, the findings suggest that the participants utilize communication channels in a complementary manner to receive and seek nuclear-related information. Participants also evaluated the credibility of individuals and organizations that convey nuclear-related information based on their trustworthiness and nuclear expertise. The findings provide practical implications in terms of policy implementation, as well as public communication of nuclear-related information. Directions for future research were also discussed. | 2019-04-26T11:46:25 | https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/shirleysho/2018/09/21/new-article-energy-research-social-science-with-team-ponder/ |
Why do you guys barely discuss libra men?
It’s bugging me greatly. They seem like one of the least spoken about. Is it because most of them come off asexual or metrosexual? Because that would make a lot of sense. I’ve barely came across people discussing long term relationships with libra men. What’s up with that? Are they incapable of it or something? Am itching for answers. | 2019-04-25T19:40:12 | https://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/message/?id=12321235 |
Tributes have been paid to an experienced fisherman who died after he was injured by equipment on his boat.
Gareth Jones, 36, of Morfa Nefyn was working alone on his 36-foot fishing vessel Ronan Orla off the Llyn Peninsula on Sunday afternoon.
Friends said Mr Jones, known as Pod, was injured by equipment on the boat which had winching gear.
It remains unclear how the accident had happened while Mr Jones was fishing for scallops.
Nearby vessels went to his aid and the Porthdinllaen lifeboat and an RAF Valley helicopter were alerted.
A Porthdinllaen RNLI spokesman said: “Volunteers received a request by Holyhead Coastguard to launch at 3.15pm yesterday to an injured fisherman on the Llyn Peninsula coast.
“The crew quickly made their way two miles west off Nant Gwytheyrn where the fishing boat was located and were joined shortly afterwards by Rescue 122 helicopter.
Tributes were paid to Mr Jones by Porthdinllaen RNLI spokesman Dylan Thomas who described him as “quiet but workmanlike”.
Mr Jones was a previous member of the RNLI crew.
The tragic incident was reported to the Marine Accident Investigation Branch who have launched an investigation.
A North Wales Police spokeswoman said Mr Jones’ family have been informed and officers are working with the MAIB to establish the circumstances, which are not believed to be suspicious.
North Wales senior coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones said the death of Mr Jones had been reported to his office.
He added a post mortem is due to be carried out on Tuesday and an inquest held in due course. | 2019-04-24T16:19:22 | https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/gareth-jones-tributes-paid-fisherman-6900261 |
After 5 months and 100 walking days into my quest to raise awareness, I am 100km from the finish line at Cologne Zoo.
Please help me by sharing this story and donating to the cause. Help to stop the slaughter!
800 rhino poached so far this year is an awful record that must be stopped.
Have had a couple of guest bloggers fill in some gaps, but a lot has happened since my last post. I had a break to see doctors and family and then restarted walking between Berlin and Hamburg. The Elbe River is harder to walk near than the Rhein River, as it has a wide flood plain and riverside wandering tracks are not as frequent. However, the Germany countryside continues to amaze me with its diversity and beauty.
We stayed for a week in an organic farm (Bio Hof) with lots of lovely geese, pigs, Norwegian horses and Heide Schnucken. The Heide Schnucken is a breed of sheep from this area that are famous for their long coats and grazing on the banks of the Elbe.
In a Paul Kelly song is the line “a chilly city soothes a troubled soul” about the port city of Hamburg. It is the home town of a dear friend of mine, so we took her advice on touring around the city. The harbour is wonderful and full of the sounds, smells and vibrancy that you expect from one of the world’s largest ports. Next time you see a shipping container see if it is labelled Hamburg SUD – I swear half of them are! Just around the corner from the harbour is the infamous Repperbahn…a different set of sounds, smells and vibrancy; but definitely a lively place!
Leaving Hamburg we passed through the fascinating but not well known Buxtehude. The brick-laying craftsmanship is truly artistic.
My journey followed the path through Bremen, which is also a free trading port . Smaller than Hamburg, but an absolutely gorgeous inner city with many beautiful buildings and the famous statue of the Town Musicians modelled from the Grimm bros fairy tale. This is a story about animals working together to defeat the bad guys and live happily ever after. Pity it’s a fairy tale. The animals of Africa need a miracle like this.
We then decided to head to Brussels for World Elephant Day. iWorry.org and the David Sheldrick foundation organised gatherings in 40 cities around the world and Brussels was not that far (700km). The funny thing was that while we were on the road an event was organised in Lueneberg (50km away!). It was good to meet some folk who sincerely care about wildlife and the threat of extinction. The march was not just about elephants (every 15 minutes an Elephant is poached for the tusks), but also lions and rhinos.
The latest statistics are horrific. Officially 790+ rhinos in South Africa alone, so on track for 1000 murdered rhinos this year. PEOPLE! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! WE ARE WITNESSING RHINOCIDE!
I needed to clear my head after Brussels , so we took a few days break with friends to Jungholz, which is a pocket of Austria in the alps on German/Austrian border. It started snowing as we started the drive up the mountain, then we were almost snowed in as half a metre fell over the next 2 days! Loved it. Did some good walks and shared the rhino story with the Austrians and Bavarians.
Continued walking on the trail and have passed Muenster, Duelmen, Haltern and into the industrial heartland of Germany in Recklinghausen, Herne, Gelsenkirchen and Oberhausen. Despite the heavy industry that abounds here, I was surprised just how green the region is. There are still belts of green and clean rivers and forests and walk/cycle paths between villages and towns. The autumn leaves provide a yellow/brown/red carpet and a different type of beauty.
And the palace on the lake (Schloss Struenkede) is wonderful. The moat is much cleaner than in medieval days when all the rubbish was simply thrown out the windows!
So as I head towards the last 100km of this journey, I feel a little sad. Sad that the walk is over; sad that so many rhinos are still being hunted and are at risk; sad that we are the generation/the cause of this animal being critically endangered; sad that we cannot seem to protect these creatures; sad that the myth of rhino horn as medicine persists…just sad.
Gaby, it was our hope to walk with you on this epic journey, but time and travel have not met. Fantastic effort. We can only hope the small stature of your walk reaches to the very edges of earth. Our donation is happening this week. love to you and your support crew (John).
Thank Danny, Big bugs to you and Susi and Thomas and Sophie. We’ll be home in a month and will get to Melbourne and see you sometime soon.
So you have almost completed your journey!
1000 dead Rhinos this year is just terrible. Why don’t people learn that there IS no medical effect in Rhino horns?
I hope you and John are okay, though! When you reach Cologne I very much would like to meet the two of you again before you leave for Australia again.
Hi Marie, We expect to be in Cologne on Monday 4th November. Depends on progress this week and there is a public holiday on Friday 1st. Hope you can be there! We’ll put the date/time on facebook page when we know.
Thank you for your constant support. Keep fighting!
too bad, the 4th is the first day of work for me after my holidays. Will you stay in Cologne for a bit or do you plan to travel back to Australia directly afterwards? Maybe we can arrange a meeting on the following weekend?
As I don’t have facebook, however, could you give me a short notice via email? | 2019-04-24T11:46:42 | https://gabywalksforrhinos.com/2013/10/27/nearly-there/ |

Charitable organisations can receive many types of income, including subscriptions, grants, subsidies, donations or koha, fees, raffle money, trading profits, and proceeds from selling assets. There are income tax exemptions available if they are registered with Charities Services.
You can find out how to register with Charities Services on their website.
Once Charities Services have approved your registration, they will write to you to confirm this.
As the registration process of Charities Services meets most of the requirements for income tax exemption, you don't have to provide us with your organisation's founding documents. We no longer issue letters confirming tax-exempt status. However, if you require an exemption from RWT (resident withholding tax) you will need to complete an Application for exemption from resident withholding tax on interest and dividends (IR451) and send it to us.
You will be expected to self-assess your tax-exempt status annually.
Some organisations may have rules that prevent additions or alterations to the charitable objects, personal benefit and winding up clauses without first getting our approval.
If you are registering your charitable organisation with Charities Services, we don't need to give approval for changes to rules. Instead, we give general consent to any amendment removing such a rule. We recommend that you remove this requirement from your rules.

You can get an IRD number by completing an IRD number application - resident non-individual (IR596) form.
You may also need to register for GST and PAYE.
The Income Tax Act 2007 sets out a number of income tax exemptions. Some of these exemptions give benefits to charitable organisations and some give benefits to people or companies who make donations to these organisations.
The organisation's aims and activities must be exclusively charitable.
None of the organisation's income or funds may be used (or be available for use) to benefit any of its members, trustees or associates.
If your charitable organisation is assessed as being fully exempt from income tax, you don't need to file an income tax return unless we ask for one. However, you still need to keep accurate records for the organisation.
Banks and other financial institutions that pay interest are required to deduct RWT (resident withholding tax) from interest. Charities are eligible for an exemption from RWT.

Pictorial Navajo blankets and rugs stem from late nineteenth century attempts by Navajo weavers to record the images they saw in the world around them, and the pictorial weaver often records what she sees. These specialty Navajo weavings usually have a light colored background with a wide variety of colors used in the depiction. Early pictorials contain such expected imagery as cowboys, horses, wagons, mountains, hogans, and pastoral scenes. Today’s rugs often include pickup trucks, trains, houses, helicopters and airplanes; illustrations of all the objects you would see driving through the reservation. | 2019-04-25T00:19:28 | https://www.taostradingpost.com/specialty-navajo-rugs/pictorial-navajo-rugs/ |
In recent years crime fighting technology has become increasingly progressive. We can use GPS to track the location of stolen objects, we can accurately take shoe print readings and there are even flashlights that can induce vomiting.
Despite these breakthroughs, there is still at least one traditional crime fighting method that is arguably still as relevant as it ever was, if not more relevant, and that is the use of guard dogs.
Metal theft has been one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK in the past few years and tackling the issue is a key problem, especially as it affects a wide range of commercial and domestic properties. Thefts have increased because scrap metal has become a valuable commodity: the price of copper has doubled to more than £ 5,000 a ton since 2009.
Camden Council in London recently informed that security is being stepped up at cemeteries in North London due to a space of recent metal thefts across graveyards in the borough. How are they doing this, you may ask? Why by using security dog patrols in London, of course.
This is not just a one-off, police and security services London are increasingly looking to use guard dogs as a method to deter and catch criminals. General purpose guard dogs have acutely trained senses and it becomes almost impossible for an intruder to pass by undetected when a dog is on watch. Guard dogs security services can even train a guard dog to attack even without a command.
Another well documented benefit of the dogs are their powerful noses. A dog has a sense of smell that is 2000 times more sensitive than that of humans, so they make excellent drug seekers. Dogs can pick up on a scent over long distances and means they're still a very effective way to track criminals.
Not only that but that nose can be trained to pick up on the smell of explosives and many dogs are involved in explosive searches. The dogs can be taught to detect and indicate the presence of a wide range of substances including: Semtex, C4, TNT, Ammonia Nitrate, Firearms and Ammunition, as well as a whole host of others.
Guard dogs security is important now as it ever was, as demonstrated by Camden Council's guard dogs London scheme. Police and security services are not forgetting about the relevancy of dog security, so you should not be either. | 2019-04-24T16:16:05 | http://www.thegaynewz.com/guard-dogs-why-theyre-still-mans-best-crime-fighting-friend/ |

This page serves as an outline for the current status of The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game.
The roadmap below lists the planned, complete, and in-development features we want to add to The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game in order to make it the best experience possible. Everything here is subject to change at the discretion of the developers, publishers, and partners working on the game.
Furthermore, some things may be added to the game that are not listed here. This roadmap is simply a guideline for our Early Access period.
Campaign 1- Adventures in Wilderland includes the first 5 Quests in The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game and tasks players with carrying a message from King Brand to Grimbeorn, through the Forest of Mirkwood.
Campaign 2- Shadows of Mirkwood will be released at Full Release Launch.
Campaign 3- Not yet named, will be released at Full Release Launch.
Co-op play is a major draw and a feature we're looking forward to implementing by full release. For Early Access, though, our focus is on single-player.
We hope to have the first batch of daily challenges available by Early Access launch.
Epic Challenges are intended to be lifetime goals for players, with major rewards. We plan to have them available sometime during Early Access. They will also serve as achievements.
These Avatars and Player tags will be available both in the Founder's Packs and in the Palantír during Early Access.
This includes our first wave of alternate-art card backs, available through the various Founder's Packs during Early Access.
The first wave of 4 Hero Packs have been implemented, though they may still be tweaked for balance during Early Access.
A second wave of 12 additional Hero Packs are currently in design phase for Full Release Launch.
English, Chinese, and French are implemented. Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Korean are all planned for Early Access release.
Originally planned for Early Access, we were able to implement the new cameos this March.
Players can now view the contents of Sauron's deck in the deckbuilder and Play menu.
Players can search by sphere, card title, or cost. Additional filters may be added during Early Access or into the future.
This feature has been removed.
UI is feature-complete. Ongoing, we may tweak and tune during Early Access.
The first wave of Valor Cards have been implemented, though they still may be tweaked for balance during Early Access.
New VFX are being added every day to the build, and we won't consider them feature-complete until full release, as new ones will continue to be developed.
Each season includes: 3 Favor Cards, 4 Hero Packs, 12 Valor Cards, 4 Avatars, 1 Card Back, and 1 New Campaign, released on a cycle. We reserve the right to add additional content to this as special rewards. | 2019-04-26T12:30:01 | https://www.fantasyflightinteractive.com/en/news/2018/5/7/the-lord-of-the-rings-living-card-game-developer-roadmap/ |
