President Yoweri Museveni is already in Tanzania for the 20thOrdinary Summit of East African Community (EAC) Heads of State.
The ongoing summit is taking place at Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC) in Arusha.
The leaders are discussing among others a raft of issues such as the implementation status of the EA Customs Union, progress report on political confederation, financial status of the community and report on having two deputy Secretary Generals recruited competitively, according to a statement from the President’s office.
Other issues are endorsement of Kenya’s push for a non-permanent slot on United Nations Security Council (UNSC), report on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and promotion of motor vehicle assembly plant in the region.
At their 19th Ordinary Meeting held in Kampala, Uganda on February 23, 2018, the Summit directed the EAC Council of Ministers to explore the possibilities of developing the automotive industry in East Africa by reducing the importation of used vehicles from outside the region and thereby make the region more competitive.
On the same function, Museveni is expected to handover the EAC chair to another head of state whom the leaders will agree on. | 2019-04-18T13:01:50 | https://www.watchdoguganda.com/news/20190201/60703/eac-heads-of-state-summit-museveni-to-hand-over-power.html |

Moohot project was planned and executed by LimitLines advertising agency in August 2016 and remained active for six months. In this project, we decided to produce qualified content and introduce the new haircare and hair color products made by L’Oréal company, and to make a change in the users’ purchase habits thus encouraging them to purchase these products.
Beauty and healthcare are one of the main concerns for women nowadays, which they strive to overcome and to find a solution for. Our challenge in the Moohot project was to introduce the new L’Oréal haircare and hair color products, as a solution to our audience’s troubles. We had to present the new L’Oréal hair product “Magic Retouch” as a hair color concealer and to distinguish the differences between this product and the rest of the market. By comparing Magic Retouch to other haircare and hair color products, we had to demonstrate the outstanding quality and effects this product contains to the audience.
Moohot project was executed with the purpose of raising awareness about L’Oréal’s new haircare and hair color products. With launching “Magic Retouch” Campaign, introducing the new hair product Magic Retouch, we tried to make the users familiar with the product and its extraordinary quality. We intended to gain trust from users and change their buying habits with being active in social media and demonstrating the effectiveness and high quality of L’Oréal’s haircare and hair color products.
Our services during this digital campaign was online advertising, which by producing visual and written content (such as photography and GIFs), producing video ads, holding competitions, creating and managing an Instagram account and vast influencer marketing in social media we were able to increase the sales amount and the product’s popularity. This campaign was so successful that the official Instagram account of L’oreal Paris shared some of Moohot posts.
To reach a high engagement rate and to raise awareness about L’oreal’s new hair products, we launched Magic Retouch campaign to introduce the new hair color product called Magic Retouch. Also, we tried to raise awareness among the audience about the quality of the company’s hair products through influencers. We presented this product as some kind of magic that lets the users have their ideal result. We were able to increase the engagement rate and followers’ number using efficient and effective content, video advertisings, influencer marketing and holding competitions. | 2019-04-20T14:15:00 | https://limitlines.com/moohot/ |

You hear your babe. You look at the monitor. She’s sitting up. Wide awake. You look at the daunting time on the clock…..5:00am. “and it begins again…” you say to yourself.
A baby’s natural morning wake-up time is between 6:00-8:00am. A child who rises earlier than this is considered an early riser, and a child who rises later than this is considered a late riser. If Baby consistently starts her day at 5:00am, her schedule will constantly be shifted earlier, meaning earlier naps and a constant early bedtime. This pattern becomes a cycle of early mornings and extremely early bedtimes. Her whole day will get thrown off balance. I’m a sucker for the early bedtime, but they have a time and a place. We don’t want to get stuck in the habit of having a 5:30pm bedtime every day.
If your child is waking earlier than 6:00am, I suggest leaving him/her in her crib/bed until 6:00am every day. If you go in to your child earlier than 6:00am (say 5:30am) and get her up to start her day, she will learn that 5:30am is an acceptable time to get up. Your child might even start waking up earlier and earlier as she will learn she gets to enjoy your company! Smart little things! You want to treat early wakings as you would any other night waking. You wouldn’t get your child up to start their day at 3:00am just because they are awake, so we want to make sure we are sending the same, clear, consistent message every day and that is “6:00am is the earliest we start our day!” The key here is being consistent 100% of the time. Only go into Baby’s room at this set time, it can take a couple of weeks for this to click, so be patient!
The biggest issue that working parents run into with regards to an early bedtime is they don’t get to spend much (if any) time with their children after work. My answer is this- you can only do the best you can. There are likely some ways you can eliminate or reduce your after work tasks such as preparing meals differently (think slow cooker), bathing your child in the morning rather than at night, perhaps your nanny or daycare can provide dinner to your child. It’s a tough situation, but if your child (and you) are getting healthy, restorative sleep, you will have more quality time together during their waking hours. Yes, Mom or Dad might not get to see their child when they get home if the child needs an early bed time during nap transitions or has had a crummy nap that day, but your child will be in a much better mood the next morning, which is another time for you guys to hang out.
There are a few ways to teach your child to sleep later in the morning to reach that 6:00am mark.
1. Move bedtime earlier. OK I know you are saying “ummmmm what?” It’s counter-intuitive, but often a child will sleep later in the morning if they go to bed earlier at night. Dr. Marc Weissbluth has a saying, it is “sleep is not logical, it is biological”. The most common cause for waking up too early is a too-late bedtime. An early bedtime allows your child to go to sleep before they become overtired, which in turn promotes more sleep. Sleep begets sleep. An overtired child has a harder time going to sleep and staying asleep compared to a well-rested child. Start by taking 15 minutes off bedtime for 3 or 4 days. See if this helps (it likely will). If it does, take another 15 minutes off for another 3-4 days. Keep repeating this process until you find that sweet spot where Baby is still falling asleep within 15-30 minutes of going to bed.
2. Ensure your baby’s bedroom is conducive to sleep. You want to ensure it is dark for both naps and night sleep. Living in Northern Alberta, summers basically stay light 24 hours a day- which can be a disaster for late bedtimes and early wake ups. Blackout blinds are a must! A dark environment will ensure your baby produces melatonin (the sleepy hormone which is responsible for helping the body control sleep/wake cycles). Sleep is the lightest between 4-6am and if the room is starting to get lighter around this time, it will be darn near impossible to fall back asleep. Use a white noise machine or a fan (which doubles as protection from SIDS) to block out external noise. If you live on a busy street, the last thing you want is for a fire truck to be blasting its sirens at 5:30am which will wake up Babe.
4. If your baby is getting the minimum required hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, try pushing bedtime later. Early bedtimes are great during nap transitions and on days when naps aren’t ideal, but we don’t want to get stuck with a constant early bedtime. This will have a direct impact on early mornings IF baby is getting enough sleep.
So, how do you know what time bedtime should be? I don’t suggest using a set bedtime on the clock; instead it should be based it on the quality of sleep your child gets that day. On days when naps are solid, your child will be able to stay awake a bit later that night. On days when naps are crummy or missed, a super early bedtime is a must. Stay tuned for my next blog post which will be on age-appropriate bedtimes.

Within these Homelite electric chainsaw reviews I will be digging deeper into the brand that’s known for affordability for the common household chainsaw user. Not only will I be reveling the truth as to whether Homelite chainsaws are any good, I will also be putting the spotlight onto Homelite as a company.
In my opinion they don’t get the recognition they deserve which I why I think these reviews are going to be super helpful to the first time Homelite buyer. So essentially this buyers guide is not only to help you, but hopefully give you some insight into Homelite as a brand and whether or not you can rely on them for a chainsaw to use around the house.
In the below reviews you can compare the Homelite 9 Amp and the 12 Amp electric chainsaws. Discover which model is best suited for your needs.
4.2 Do You Need Electric Or Gas?
4.3 Will These Electric Homelite Chainsaws Do The Job?
Homelite was founded in 1921 and gained notoriety for inventing a lightweight, portable, gasoline powered electrical generator. This was a great thing for a lot of rural areas at the time, who didn’t have lines to there homes. They also had a hand in WW2 with there generators helping to provide portable electricity for the troops.
It wasn’t until 1946 that they made their first chainsaw, which happened to be an electric powered chainsaw. From here on out they continued to dominate the chainsaw scene, making a one man operating chainsaw. When most at the time were two man, which is strange for people in this day and age to understand.
While now days they mainly focus on making smaller lawn and garden equipment. There chainsaws are still very reasonable, and do exactly what they were designed to do. Saw wood without having to spend $500 on a chainsaw.
A fun fact is that Homelite chainsaws have made a name for themselves in the horror film industry, appearing in such films like The Evil Dead, and the popular Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Making it one of the most recognizable brands on the market. So next Halloween, grab your Homelite and you’re half way to scaring the kids!.
The Homelite 9 amp electric chainsaw is an impressive little unit which packs a surprising amount of power for its size. This is something I noticed in both of the Homelite electric chainsaws.Big punch for a small chainsaw.
With its 9 amp motor it was able to get through some trees 16 inches in diameter, which is quite impressive considering the fact it’s powered by 9 amps.
The only downside was that it was dulling the chain, and needed to be replaced after each tree. While you shouldn’t do this all the time, it can handle such a job if you absolutely must. Even while replacing the chains is annoying, this is still a very impressive feat for this saw.
This is a very well built chainsaw and you can feel this while operating it. The one thing I will say is that it is a very thirsty chainsaw. You will need to check the oil more often than you would a larger chainsaw, between every 10 to 12 cuts would be sufficient. I believe this is because the oil tank capacity is only 6oz, while not the smallest tank, I feel a little undersized for what it can do.
One thing that really appealed to me with this chainsaw was its weight. It weighs roughly 9 pounds when you have everything attached and filled. I find this is a great size for walking around your yard and removing tree limbs, or removing smaller trees. This does make it a good size for someone who maybe a little on the older side and can’t lift as much as they use to.
I was very impressed with the power of this saw, this gives it a pretty good advantage over some of the other top rated electric chainsaws at this size.
The weight was something that really agreed with me, having a saw that is too heavy can be a serious issue for many folks. Especially if you’re going to be cutting for hours on end.
The quality of the chainsaw and how durable it is, is very impressive and you can feel how well it is made from just picking it up.
After getting my hands on there 9 amp model, I was really looking forward to getting my hands on this 12 amp chainsaw. I was extremely happy when I got to use this chainsaw. So much so I have been using this electric Homelite 12 amp over my larger gas chainsaw. It works hand in hand with my electric log splitter as I can pretty much make firewood on the spot.
I’m a big fan of having more power then I should need, which is often the case with this Homelite electric version. It has the power to take down some fairly large trees close to 20 inches in diameter in fact. But I wouldn’t recommend doing this all the time as it is a fairy heavy duty job. But you can still take them down when you need to, then fire it up to handle your normal backyard duties.
The one thing I really loved with this chainsaw was how easy it is to clean and replace the bar and oil the chain. By far this is one of the easiest chainsaws I have ever used to do basic maintenance on. So if you have never used a chainsaw before, this is a great starting point to learn the basics in a very easy way. Even if you’re a pro who has been cutting for decades, you will be able to appreciate this.
There is one issue with both these chainsaws which I have to bring up. I’ve found that they do have a tendency to leak oil. So it is best if you empty the oil after use, otherwise you will have oil leak where you store it. A simple fix is when you’re done with the saw you can turn it upside down for awhile, to let the unused oil drain out. A little annoying, but only minor when you consider the price point of this saw.
At this price point you you will be hard pressed to find a chainsaw as good as this one, and that is something I wasn’t expecting and was something I really appreciated. This happens when you own as many saws as I do.
The ease of which you can remove the bar and chain, and put on new ones was a big plus for me. This can be a hassle to do, so making it easier really appealed to me. Great for beginners.
I was really impressed with the power of this 12 amp chainsaw, it was something that I wasn’t expecting and I like being surprised with this kind of thing.
Most people associate chainsaws with the more powerful gas version. The electric models usually get ignored completely, or often thought of as a nuisance more than anything. I can understand why are lot of people are drawn to a gas chainsaw, but they aren’t for every situation.
Having a 50cc gas chainsaw in the middle of a suburban neighborhood will make you the most disliked person in your area. An electric model is so much quieter which yours and your neighbors ears will thank you for.
Not only are electrics quieter, they are also so much easier to start. There is no need for any of the hassle that comes with a gas chainsaw. Even with decades of experience I still come across a gas chainsaw that will be stubborn, and not start easy. This is also really good for people who have shoulder issues, and are unable to pull the cord on a gas unit.
While a lot of people think being limited by a power point is a big negative, and it can be depending on the situation. But in most those situations you should most likely be using a gas saw anyway. Worst case scenario you could use a generator, but that is expensive and not an option for everyone. But most areas you will be able to use an extension lead to reach most the areas you need to cut.
Do You Need Electric Or Gas?
Will These Electric Homelite Chainsaws Do The Job?
This is a question you should ask yourself before going with either chainsaw, and this will help narrow down your choices considerably. There are 2 questions you need to ask yourself to work this question out, what do you need to cut, and where is it located. If you’re going to be cutting some really solid hard wood, then you will need to go with gas, if it isn’t then electric is a valid option.
This is the biggest downside of the electric chainsaw and that it is limited to how long your extension cord is, or if you have a generator. So if you need to cut far from home then gas is going be what you should go with. If you’re closer to house and in your backyard, or around 100 foot then electric is a great option to choose.
The short answer to this is if you’re close to home and you don’t need to cut something tough then electric is the way to go. If you’re far from home or need to cut something difficult then going with a gas powered is the better choice. The one thing I didn’t cover here is price, which is something you also take into consideration. If you’re on a budget an electric saw is the better option, since they are generally cheaper.
An electric chainsaw isn’t for everyone, but these Homelite electric chainsaws are very impressive for there size. If you are in the need for a new electric saw, or this is your first you can’t go wrong with either of these units. If I had a preference I would go with the larger 12 amp 16 inch model, just because I like to have that bit of extra power. But the 14 inch 9 amp electric is also perfect for doing smaller jobs and really does suit the more casual user. In final you can’t go wrong with either, and should choose the one that suits your situation more. | 2019-04-20T05:16:51 | https://splitwoodclub.com/homelite-electric-chainsaw-reviews |

Dr. Heidi Browne has been practicing dentistry for almost ten years. She grew up in Chester, Montana where she graduated as co-valedictorian of her high school class. She then attended Montana State University in Bozeman for undergrad where she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Cell Biology and Neuroscience and a minor in Biochemistry. Dr. Heidi Browne completed her dental school training at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in Denver. Following dental school, she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency in Boise, Idaho. After completing her residency, she and her husband were very excited when the opportunity presented itself to move back to Montana and begin working alongside the longtime Helena dentist, Dr. Crowley. The last years working in Helena have provided Dr. Heidi Browne with an amazing experience and great relationships. She plans on continuing to build upon the solid foundation that was laid for her by Dr. Crowley and Crowley Dentistry and continue to positively impact the Helena community by focusing on providing great dental care.
Dr. Heidi Browne is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the Montana Dental Association, and she has served as the Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President, and President of the local district dental society.
When she is not in the office, you can find Dr. Heidi Browne spending time with her husband and their three kids. They frequently go camping, biking, traveling, and always bring their black labrador along for the adventures.
I'm new to Helena. I researched dentists in the Queen City and decided on Crowley Dental. Excellent is the one word that would summarize my dental care at Dr. Crowley's. Professional, punctual, friendly, are others I'd use to describe Dr. Crowley, his dental assistants, and front office. I'll be a regular patient from here on, no question. Hope this helps any others looking for top dental care.
Excellent office staff and doctors/assistants. Makes going to the dentist a worry/ pain-free experience. Scheduling is easy and wait times are under ten minutes. The doctors always call later in the day to follow up and schedule check-ups as needed. Truly a great staff. The only advice I have is to keep doing what they're doing. I will be sure to recommend Crowley's to anyone I know in the Helena area. | 2019-04-22T23:01:38 | https://mtrootsdental.com/about/dr-heidi-browne/ |

Global investment markets have been undergoing a correction this summer, as we had predicted in previous newsletters.
Since mid-May 2013, most asset classes have declined, with the exception of commodities. Foreign equities and global real estate have declined the most, while US equities have pulled back modestly (see Chart I below).
However, the biggest story of the summer has been the 4-5% decline in US fixed income securities, a market which has enjoyed a broad-based bull market for the past 30 years.
Rising interest rates have been the culprit for this decline, and they have also contributed to the recent equity market correction, with investors fearing the end of extremely cheap money.
On the year as a whole, fixed income has seen a significant decline at the same time that US equities have enjoyed a nice run up, resulting in a relative underperformance for conservatively-oriented bond investors.
Looking ahead, we believe that interest rates have likely peaked out in the near-term, with the potential to move higher further down the road.
As such, we believe that fixed income and other interest-rate-sensitive areas such as real estate will perform better in the months ahead.
At the same time, we believe there may be further declines in equity markets, particularly in the US.
As such, we are beginning to redeploy some of our previously raised cash into select fixed income opportunities, while waiting for further equity market pullbacks before redeploying assets in Foreign & US markets.
In the last mid-quarter newsletter, we mentioned our recent study to evaluate the previous ten years of investing at LGA, how the market landscape has changed over that period, and what new insights we could take advantage of.
One of the major conclusions was that markets today are swinging much more significantly on technical indicators – as opposed to fundamentals – than they did in the past.
In response, we developed and implemented a systematized “Market Phase” approach to guide our desired level of equity risk in client portfolios at any given time.
This approach is driven by sentiment data and technical analysis, and indicates when we are in a high or low risk investing environment.
We still utilize our “Five-Forces” analysis to select the specific asset classes and positions for client portfolios, but the Market Phase model dictates how much risk we are willing to have during a given time period.
Chart II below illustrates how this new approach would have been implemented over the past equity market cycle (green is expected outperformance, red is underperformance, and yellow is at-market returns).
Below the chart, we detail the risk positioning to generate our expected results with “High Beta” meaning extra risk taken, “Low Beta” meaning less risk taken, and “At Market” being a neutral level of risk taken.
This improvement will help drive higher long-term risk-adjusted returns, focusing on the highest probability times to take on risk versus protecting capital. | 2019-04-20T23:17:51 | http://lgadvisors.com/underlying-currents-are-moving/ |

The corruption bogey in South Africa: Is public education safe?
Corruption is a constant global phenomenon, which is becoming more complex and intense as competition for resources increases. It is even more so amongst those living in developing countries, particularly emerging economies such as South Africa. Acts of corruption directly contest the basic principles of South Africa’s Constitution, which aims at establishing freedom and security for everyone and a democracy ‘for the people, by the people’. The aim of this article is to determine whether South African public education is safe from the corruption ‘bogey’, where reflection is made on professional public school management, which is the responsibility of school principals. Our objectives include designing an educationspecific definition of corruption to advance accountable and transparent leadership; establishing the degree to which corruption has infiltrated the public education sphere; and making recommendations to fight corruption in public schools at professional public school management level. Among other findings, we found that even though some principals actively advocate upholding high morals, their conduct proves differently. | 2019-04-22T02:39:06 | https://www.ajol.info/index.php/saje/article/view/113856 |

Live burn shows just how quickly Christmas tree fires can turn devastating and deadly.
The devastating damage Christmas tree fires can inflict on people and property – and just how quickly it can happen – were vividly demonstrated during a live burn event on Monday at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) research lab in Rockville, MD. The footage (above) underscores just how fast a dried out Christmas tree burns, with flashover occurring in about 30 seconds, while a well-watered tree burns at a far slower rate.
Of course, the goal of the burn event isn’t to scare people away from enjoying the holidays. It’s to remind everyone about the importance of taking simple safety precautions that can ensure a festive and fire-safe season.

Yesterday, 7 of our teams headed off to help out Meco DKI in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia with the severe flooding they experienced on Thanksgiving.
Some people in Cape Breton are still desperate for information on where to turn for help after the flooding on Thanksgiving Monday.
Tricia O’Neil’s home on St. Peters Road in Sydney has been declared uninhabitable, so she and her family are staying with friends.
Christina Lamey, a spokesperson with the mayor’s office, said water accounts can be suspended or cancelled.
Liam Gillis, a lawyer with Sampson McPhee, said homeowners can notify the Cape Breton Regional Municipality’s taxation department if their homes have been deemed uninhabitable.
“Sometimes they can have a reduction in their taxes for that uninhabitable space,” he said.
The limits of insurance coverage are an ongoing frustration for some who didn’t understand why they weren’t covered for flooding.
While coverage for sewer backup is “pretty common,” the experts said most people are likely not covered for overland water damage.
So, determining the cause of the flooding is key.
“If you disagree with an insurance adjuster’s assessment of the cause of damage, it’s important to have someone else in — perhaps a restoration expert that can provide a second opinion.” Gillis said.
What can you do while you wait for an adjuster?
Walter Dewey, whose home was damaged by an overflowing brook, said he has insurance but is still waiting for an adjuster to visit.
Dean suggested he keep a record of the damage.
Homeowners should try to access insurance money first. If the damage is not covered, the homeowner will need to provide evidence that the insurance company was not willing to cover damages before making a claim to the disaster fund.
What’s covered in the federal disaster fund?
Dean said you can’t get help through the federal government’s Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program for something that would have been covered by insurance, had you bought it.
“If you could have purchased, let’s say, $10,000 worth of sewer backup coverage, that $10,000 is deducted from what you are able to get from DFAA,” she said.
What other financial assistance is available?
The United Way, its agencies and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality are meeting to discuss how short-term relief money will be distributed.
The province has contributed $500,000 and the United Way has raised more than $60,000.
Lamey said it’s vital for everyone with damage to call the municipal helpline at 902-562-4357 to be registered so officials can assess the total picture.
Mayor Cecil Clarke said the helpline has received 650 calls since it was created.
The Town of Orangeville handed out a total of three Environmental Sustainability Awards to different individuals and groups on Monday (May 2).
Receiving the 2011 awards from Coun. Sylvia Bradley, chair of the Orangeville Sustainability Action Team (OSAT), were Ann Fenton, Trish Bradley of the Highland Restoration DKI, and the Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB), represented by school board chair Bob Borden, teacher Jill Fendley-Legge and child and youth counsellor D’arcy Litchti.
Fenton, who accepted the award for an individual, has been instrumental in a greening initiative at Montgomery Village Public School through a walk to school program. Working with the UGDSB, Orangeville police and Green Communities of Canada, Fenton has helped students understand it’s cool to walk to school.
The award for a business was given to Highland Restoration Disaster Kleenup, a company owned by Trish and Shane Bradley, which has reduced the amount of material heading to landfill by restoring 80 per cent of damaged household contents.
The company has introduced green technology to restore items from fire and flood, rather than replacement — even salvaging damaged clothing, leather goods and stuffed toys, among many other household items.
Last but not least, the UGDSB was recognized for its green bin program, which has it partnering with Dufferin County’s waste management division to pilot an organics bin program at Montgomery Village Public School. By the winter of 2011, all schools in Dufferin will participate in the program, where students and staff will divert food wastes from landfill by creating compost.
What is new at Highland Restoration DKI?
Hello to everyone! I am very happy to once again begin working on our website!
Please watch for updated photo’s and information as there has been many exciting and challenging changes to Highland, and our website gives me the opportunity to share our improvements to our service with you – our followers, our clients or potential clients. | 2019-04-25T16:49:49 | http://highlandrestoration.ca/latest-news/ |
It’s too early to know and the company is evaluating CMSes? Interesting spin. Here’s what’s actually going on: Time Inc. uses outdated technology that was created in 1997. I’ll say that again, in all caps: NINETEEN NINETY-SEVEN. They rely heavily on a CMS that was built in 2002. So in web years, that translates to, what, around 50 or 75 years behind the times? Consider that the company that makes the CMS Time Inc. uses doesn’t even exist anymore.
As for the rest of the article, I certainly agree that a CMS or DAM environment that makes assets “smarter” is desirable…and has yet to be built. Letting publishers “easily find and use relevant content — not only based on the article’s specifics, but also on the asset’s relevance to a particular platform” and allowing “access only to assets for which sufficient rights were secured” are both awesome ideas. But no one in publishing does this well.
I’ll grant that media tech — heck, all of tech — is constantly evolving, and often in unpredictable ways, and getting digital rights from writers and photographers is its own hell. But after all these years, no turnkey solution has yet been built. It simply does not exist, and it likely will not until actual technologists take an interest in what publishing is doing and the particular challenges the industry faces. But they probably won’t, because (have you heard?) the media industry is dying, and it’s unable to monetize itself, let alone create forward-thinking systems.
Apparently at Hearst, “Our plan is to have a system where, no matter where content is created, we’ll be able to store it in such a way that it can be easily used on any platform.” Really, is that your plan? Do you plan to do that? How about less “planning,” less “it’s too early” and more doing, building, iterating, testing, shipping code? The time is now; in fact, the time was years ago.
Where are the digital editorial workflow tools?
“I’m a strong believer that workflow and technology changes the kind of journalism you put out. What I’ve seen is just how crucially important it is to have in place workflows that make sense and to use technology that understands that workflow.
For example, a CMS [content management system] that has a lot of constraints behind it will literally change the kind of journalism you can produce and the workflow. …If you don’t have a great project management system, whether you’re using Basecamp or Google Docs or whatever, if that project management system doesn’t understand how your reporters operate — if they feel they have to jump between email, IM, and text and whatever — that can actually disrupt the kind of work they’re able to produce.
Unrelated (yet completely related) recent story about how The Bangor Daily News overhauled its workflow to incorporate Google Docs and WordPress.
A great workflow can elevate your work and a bad one can really hold you back, and I sincerely hope we will see more efforts to improve processes surrounding digital workflow in the near future. Just as curation is getting rightly hailed as an essential element of filtering out the noise and making sense of the Internet, so too should great processes be invented to corral the historically awful editorial workflow found in typical CMSes. It’s overdue. Way overdue. Not just Asana and Basecamp and the like, but tools and hacks that work specifically for journalists and that journalists can finally put to work. | 2019-04-20T01:03:27 | http://www.annawahrman.com/index.php/tag/workflow/ |

Flaviramea Dogwood has clusters of creamy white flowers at the ends of the branches in late spring. It has green foliage throughout the season. The pointy leaves turn yellow in fall. It produces white berries in late summer. The yellow branches are extremely showy and add significant winter interest.
Flaviramea Dogwood is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
Flaviramea Dogwood will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 10 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. | 2019-04-24T00:03:56 | http://plants.vandermeernursery.com/11110008/Plant/724/Flaviramea_Dogwood |

The Guardian has an article on the outlaw wind industry mobilizing to attack "astroturfing" opponents of wind in Australia, and then expanding the campaign to Britain, and Canada.
Allow me to lay out a welcome mat.
The grinding of teeth is due to the pending Australian election where polls apparently indicate the wind-friendly government of PM Gillard will fall to a coalition mouthing support for existing renewables targets, but not-trusted by the outlaw wind industry.
As Guardian Australia reported last week, the federal Coalition would impose new noise monitoring rules on windfarms, which the industry says will inflict crippling costs. Shadow ministers argue it is the only way windfarms can maintain sufficient public support to continue operating.
The Coalition's policy is to maintain the current target of 20% renewable energy by 2020, but several Coalition MPs who believe new windfarms should be banned and the renewable energy target wound back will attend the rally on Tuesday.
So here's the issue from the perspective of myself - an active anti-wind campaigner in Ontario, Canada.
The noise regulations, or terms of operation in some cases, are poorly defined and difficult to measure - which works out great for the outlaw wind companies. Many of the stipulations refer to sound levels about the background noise, and that provides a great deal of weasel room to avoid accountability for the actual noise from the turbines.
(d) power output of individual turbines at the wind farm.
(2) The information must be published on the internet in accordance with any requirements prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this subsection.
Example: A requirement that the information be published in real time.
This is, presumably, the type of information that would "inflict crippling costs"
It's the type of thing that would allow regulators to hold operators accountable to the terms of their operation - which may include maximum sound levels from the operation at certain times of day, limits on the average, etc.
The standards say that if a noise is above the background it is likely to be annoying and that exceedances of up to five are of marginal significance. So the concept has been that for general noise you can have noise that is audible but once you get to about five, above the background, it starts to present problems to the community or those people being affected by the noise. So if the background is higher in a city environment, then you can have a higher noise level. If you are near a large industrial estate or near a freeway that generates noise, then you are in a noisier environment and you can have a higher level of noise emission from the industrial sources.
Senator XENOPHON: Can you indicate what you have experienced when you have been asked by residents to measure noise—the difficulties you have in getting information from proponents?Mr Cooper : Yes, if I can assist the committee, the graphs that I handed up this morning appear as appendix E1 in my report. It is a graph that is used prior to the development of a wind farm. It is a graph that plots the noise level for different wind speeds measured at the hub height. This becomes the assessment procedure—that is, the noise emission for the wind farm is expressed in terms of a dBA level versus the wind at the hub height. So the only way you can do a compliance check is to measure the noise at the residence and compare it with the wind at the hub height. If you cannot get the wind at the hub height, you cannot determine acoustic compliance. So you need that information. It is not available. The wind proponents or the authority will not supply the material.Senator XENOPHON: To use one of Senator Cameron's classic phrases, there is some information asymmetry here with respect to that?Mr Cooper : Yes. It is impossible for anybody to do a compliance check without this data.
So here's the worry of the outlaw wind industry: not that flat-earthers are turning everybody against the glory of their turbines, but that a bill might put some real responsibility on generators to honour the terms of their operation.
Why did I say the cost of this type of information isn't crippling?
The type of information laid out in the Australian Senate bill, and needed to measure actual sound levels in relation to background levels, is already collected, in Ontario, from "Nacelle mounted data collection points" (ie. hub height).
It doesnt' seem plausible the data demands are what scares the outlaw wind industry, but the daunting possibility of tools forcing them to perform within the sound levels they agree to perform within. | 2019-04-25T18:06:20 | http://coldaircurrents.luftonline.net/2013/06/accountability-threat-sends-outlaw-wind.html |
Will the Samsung Galaxy S8 Mini be announced at IFA?
This week we could see Samsung finally see the error of its ways and release a mini version of its flagship smartphone line. Read the latest rumours on the Samsung Galaxy S8 mini specs, features and anticipated launch date.
Could we see the return of the mini edition for the Galaxy S8 line?
Whether or not there will be a Galaxy S8 Mini is the subject of much debate. Samsung hasn't announced a mini-edition S-series phone since the Galaxy S5 mini, and it's possible that it just doesn't see the demand. But with the Galaxy S8 now larger than ever (and the Galaxy S9 to continue that trend), is it finally time for the company to introduce its Galaxy S mini?
Samsung is holding an IFA 2017 event this Wednesday in which it will likely unveil new smartwatches and smart home tech, but there is an outside chance we could also see the Galaxy S8 Mini.
When is the Galaxy S8 Mini release date?
Samsung is holding an IFA 2017 event held in Berlin on 30 August at 6pm (5pm in the UK). With the tagline 'Your new normal' and what looks like the outline of a house behind it, it's possible this event will be more to do with smart-home tech - possibly a Bixby speaker? But the Galaxy S8 Mini has an outside chance of making an appearance.
There is some talk of a Samsung Galaxy S8 mini being in development, rumoured to appear in South Korea in the not too distant future. These rumours are entirely unsubstantiated, of course, and may be no more than wishful thinking.
Indeed, according to The Leaker, Samsung has no plans to announce a Galaxy S8 mini. It says plans have been shelved, since there was no point in creating a smaller, less powerful version of the handset, and mini models hadn't been hugely successful for the company in the past. It also says Samsung was having trouble sourcing smaller QHD curved panels for the mini, what with the Note 8 launch around the corner.
What are the rumoured features and specifications?
The Galaxy S8 mini is said to be much closer in specification to the standard Galaxy S8 than in previous mini iterations.
A Samsung phone running the Snapdragon 840 chip and 4GB of RAM has appeared in the Geekbench database (via Winfuture), which may well be the Galaxy S8 mini.
Despite the processor name, this is an updated version of last year's Snapdragon 820, not the more recent 10nm Snapdragon 835, and is therefore not as powerful as the processor used by the standard Galaxy S8. Whatever this phone is, it scored 4212 points multi-core, whereas the Galaxy S8 in our own tests was capable of 6466 points.
Rumoured specifications include a 5.3in screen, which sounds huge but the curved screen edges and slim body will allow it to feel much smaller.
It could also include 32GB of storage, an iris reader, a dedicated Bixby button and the same 12Mp camera as the standard Galaxy S8.

Fishing Monthly Magazines : Crab-eaters venture out "
A CRAB, either whole or in pieces, makes one of the best baits this month.
Groper, drummer, bream, trevally and morwong all love crabs, which are one of their main food sources, especially off the rocks.
June can be a funny month. Crystal-clear water with no wind seems one of the worst situations to fish but as I found a few years ago, it isn’t always so. Groper love calm days and often lurk over patches of kelp and rocky foreshores looking to pick off crabs.
At times you can even see them swim past. Places with vertical drops into the washes are good spots to drop a whole crab on a 4/0 to 6/0 hook. Your gear has to be robust and strong enough to hold these hard-pulling tanks but with a little patience and endurance you will succeed.
If Mother Nature helps and adds a little swell and a small wash forms around a headland or rocky outcrop, the fishing can become really great.
Drummer, groper, morwong and bream all love fresh crab and will never pass it up, especially if it’s wafting under a whitewater wash. Make sure you match the hook size to what you are chasing.
The rougher the sea, usually, the better the fishing, especially for drummer and bream. Be careful to place yourself somewhere safe away from where the whitewater is lapping over the rocks, though, as no fish is worth an accident or your life.
Some bread as berley with cut-up cunjevoi, crab legs, and a little sand mixed in all you need. The numbers of fish that will come to you is amazing when berleying around the washes.
A six- or eight-wrap beach rod is heavy when matched with a large threadline or Alvey but this is what most rockhoppers prefer. Drop your hook baited fresh crabs, whole or in pieces, into the back of the wash and then get ready to strike.
This sort of fishing isn’t at all hard but when the bait is grabbed you must strike hard and lift the fish away from the edge of the rocks fast. Drummer and groper pull very hard and any slack you give will usually see them get away.
Good spots where you will bump into the rock species around Newcastle are fairly limited but with a little effort you will find them.
Probably the best of them would be the rocks from Newcastle ocean baths right down to the Merewether baths. Some great fish have been taken there in the past. I rarely mention these spots throughout Summer as they both are very packed and a lot of snorkellers and surfers are about, but as Winter is upon us, the water is a bit cooler and you will have a lot more room.
I know collecting crabs around here isn’t the greatest but you will, with a little effort, get enough to fish for a few hours.
It’s not only the rocks that fish well throughout June. Winter is snapper time and the reefs north and south of Newcastle produce a lot of squire and snapper. The salmon are in near-plague proportions on some of the reefs at times but among them can be tailor of good size as well as large bream.
The Hunter river still gives up good-sized jewfish for the live-baiters and it’s probably the last of their run, so getting out there now may pay off.
This can be a funny month and predicting what will happen around here is hard, but if we had it all figured out, the fun of fishing just wouldn’t be there.
Former NSWFMEditor Peter Horrobin with a nice drummer taken around rocky washes of the Hunter Coast.
A washy gutter with tidal flow is a great spot to drop crab baits, bream, drummer and groper all love these sorts of area’s. | 2019-04-22T21:26:53 | http://fishingmonthly.com.au/Articles/Display/4946-Crab-eaters-venture-out |

Laptops are insanely popular out there, with hundreds of millions of units sold. Big names like Dell, Apple, Samsung, or HP in the industry are contesting for market ground. Apple has its own MacBook lineup of laptops. Apple MacBook is among the most desired laptops on the market, mainly thanks to its stunning design and optimized macOS. However, Apple MacBook is falling behind Windows-based PCs out there as big brands are offering affordable laptops with crazy specs. Tech watchers claim that Apple is planning to announce a cheaper MacBook this year to take on competitors out there.
The upcoming MacBook will retain the same design from the current MacBook models while promising major upgrade through reworked internal components. Sources say that we are seeing an intense competition among big names in the laptop industry at the end of the year. If you are looking for the best laptop that meets your needs, then we are here to help. In the section below, we have gathered the best laptops you can buy on the market in 2018, so you can decide what’s the right one for you.
Dell is one of the biggest names in the industry. The American firm is selling millions of laptop units every quarter, helping it grab its own market ground. Dell has a number of different brands of laptops, one of which includes the XPS series. The 2018 Dell XPS 13 retains what we have loved about the previous models while adding a great deal of power under the hood. Specifically, the model features Intel’s 8th gen processors, huge SSDs and more memory. Besides, the company ditched the barrel-style connector found on every Dell laptop, instead, adopting two Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C ports, which boosts the charging times and file transfer speed.
When it comes to design, the XPS 13 maintains the same design language you can find on every XPS laptop on the market, but the device gets some polishing. Indeed, the 2018 XPS 13 is now thinner and lighter than its predecessors, thus offering a more comfortable hands-on experience. Besides, keyboards are amazing with a high level of responsiveness and the trackpad is great. However, Dell XPS 13 still relies on Intel’s low-power graphics card to handle heavy tasks. Rumors claim that Dell has been working on integrating dedicated graphics cards into its XPS lineup.
Dell XPS 13 is a top-tier laptop that offers enough power to handle all your daily tasks. However, it is not cheap out there as it sets you back around $979 for the model with an 8th gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor and 128GB SSD.
If you are looking for a gaming laptop, then the Gigabyte Aero 15X V8-CF2 should be your perfect choice. The device is specifically designed for handling every gaming session you put on it, thanks to the NVIDIA GTX 1070 graphics card. During our test, the device runs easily heavy-graphics games like Battlefield 5 or the Witcher3 on the 1080p screen at Ultra settings. However, the GTX 1080 should be better if you want to handle games in 2K or 4K.
One of the selling points of the laptop lies in its 144Hz screen, allowing for a smooth gaming experience. This is the first time we are seeing a gaming laptop with this screen technology. Under the hood, the device is fueled by Intel’s sixth-core Intel processor, coupled with 16GB of RAM. Besides, the device comes with 512GB SSD for faster boot time.
When it comes to design, the Gigabyte Aero 15X V8-CF2 comes with a beautiful look with small bezels and slim build. This comes as a surprise seeing that the device packs with the GTX 1070 graphics card. The keyboards are specifically designed for gaming, allowing you to boost your gaming session. Besides, the laptop offers enough connectivity options, including the ability to connect to VR headsets and larger displays.
If you are struggling to buy a gaming laptop, then the Gigabyte Aero 15X V8-CF2 should be on your wish list.
The HP 15-da0047na is an affordable laptop that is aimed at users with basic needs. Basically, the device offers smooth performance ranging from browsing the web to editing documents, all made possible by Intel’s 8th generation Core i3 processor. The device has 8GB of RAM for better multitasking and a 128GB SSD for faster file transfer. In terms of display, the HP 15-da0047na sports a 15.6in Full HD screen, which is best for watching videos and handling office tasks. However, the laptop cannot run heavy-graphics software and games. This makes sense for a mid-range laptop.
The HP 15-da0047na is a better choice if you are looking for a laptop with a great price and moderate power. The laptop now costs you £449 in the UK and it can be found for less on Amazon.
These are the best three laptops you can pick from. If you have a favorite, then don’t forget to let us know in the comments below. | 2019-04-21T12:52:43 | https://www.macexpertguide.com/the-best-laptops-you-can-buy-2018/ |
Not an easy one. But that said, I've some thoughts and maybe they are helpful.
But the odd thing is that dark choclade is richer in copper, but maybe the higher amount of cacao doesn't agree with you.
For your margarine and butter experience: I doubt if it has anything to do with cholesterol. Margarine is usually fortified with vitamine A & D, maybe that is what causing your positive reaction.
Hey, I'm not sure of anything, just wanted to share my thoughts. Who knows, they might be helpful!
How do you respond to dark chocolate?
I think one of the simple answers is that chocolate contains endorphins and milk chocolate has a fairly-high sugar content unless it is very high quality.
Also, sugar is not something that the body has to digest--not like other foods anyway--and it is a very fast way for the body to obtain energy when digesting food would not be possible due to low energy and body resources. So basically, eating milk chocolate allows you to bypass the normal digestion process that takes a great deal of the body's energy (at least 80% on any given day).
Overall though, it weakens digestion if you eat enough of it, which is relative to every person, but it tends to build--like if you're eating it daily. So, you get more energy day to day and can regulate your blood sugar to a certain extent, but it inevitably ends in a crash because the already-weak digestion has been further compromised.
Thanks for the input. I think I'm gonna do more testing tomorrow and over the weekend.
I think I should conduct some studies with chocolate daily.
Seriously, Diessel, you aren't imagining things when you feel better after eating chocolate. Here is a link to an article that even the brain challenged among us can understand.
Results - [Still haven't found the cure for CFS, yet.]"
The problem is that my immune system seems so dysregulated that there is not the one substance which brings it into balance but there is a certain mix that is necessary for proper function. Finding that mix is so difficult because it takes time before certain effects show up and you never know which substance caused what and how substances interact.
Maybe it's the theobromine in the chocolate having some helpful effect? I used to have mild asthma and found chocolate helped. My doctor explained that it was probably because of the theobromine which is similar to theophylline found in asthma drugs.
I love chocolate. It's my antidepressant of choice.
I think of it as an OTC LDN (though I haven't taken LDN), and without the digestive and insomnia side effects!
I miss chocolate so. Even a tiny bit gives me nasty headaches. I think from the caffeine but not sure.
Even a tiny bit gives me nasty headaches, too.
I see no reason (other then something maybe psychological.. dont hate me for saying that) .. why milk chocolate would help someone while dark chocolate wouldnt.
Dark chocolate is known to be helpful to some with CFS/ME due to some things in it which arent in milk chocolate (or in milk chocolate far less).
I was shocked to hear that you decided to go out two days straight cause you were feeling good which lead to a crash. The affects of what one with CFS/ME does in a day.. may not come in till the second or even third day.. so suddenly going out two days straight isnt a good idea at all. (unless you know your body can tolerate it).
If feeling good.. increase your activity levels MUCH slower if you dont want to find yourself crashing much more and possibly worsening your whole condition.
Dark chocolate contains much more cocoa. Moreover dark chocolate contains much more coffeine. Both can have detrimental effects if an intolerance is in place so eating dark chocolate compared to eating milk chocolate would be a bad idea. Cocoa is harder to digest. Maybe its the mix of ingredients in milk chocolate that leads to some benefits if malnutrition was in place before. Flavonoids are another thing that can cause problems, dark chocolate is richer in flavonoids. PWCs are too different in order to make claims about how they should react on foods or what is healthy or good for them.
I went out the two days but they were worth it, I guess. No dispute intended.
I went out the two days but they were worth it.
Have you tried white chocolate?
I've not a clue if it even has real cacao as part of its base ingredients, but seems if you do better with milk than dark chocolate, maybe take it a step further in that direction?
Chocolate is maybe the only food that contains phenylethylalanine, which is the chemical made by the body when it is in love.
Whether this is responsible for all the non-mood benefits you report, I don't know.
The amino acid DLPA needs to undergo a conversion before it turns into phenylethylalanine, but I nonetheless found it helpful back in the days when I was managing my moods with supplements (rather than mold avoidance). | 2019-04-20T14:43:28 | https://forums.phoenixrising.me/threads/milk-chocolate.5812/ |

Considering that the above encyclopaedic document was penned by no less than a king, one can only imagine the standards his cooks would be held to. There would have to be an explanation for everything - even the choice of material of a cooking vessel - and there was. This work even laid down the health benefits of rice cooked in earthenware pots made from earth of a specific nature. The 11th Century Lokopakara documents various adaptations of mung dal khichdi and a recipe for keeping curd rice unspoilt for several days. There are more documents that lay down ideal combinations of ingredients and many of these writings refer to foods that are still prepared today.
It’s no surprise that with this foundation, the most basic thali emerging from a kitchen grounded in this tradition would be fit for a King.
Even so, there’s more to food in the land of coffee and spice – with a pointed Maharashtrian influence, the traditional food of North Karnataka includes the unleavened flatbreads called bhakri and pallya – generously spiced lentils cooked with leafy vegetables. There’s Udupi cuisine known for the famous masala dosa, the seafood specialities and pork curries of coastal Karnataka, the spicy meat dishes from Coorg and sweets like Mysore pak, Dharwad peda, and chiroti.
A must-do on the culinary bucket list while in Karnataka is a sampling of Mangalorean, Navayath and Malnad cuisine which turn out compelling foods that employ minimal oil. These traditions also have a strong tradition of steaming foods.

Heinrich Isaac (ca. 1450-1517) was a versatile and prolific Flemish composer of both secular and church music. He was one of the greatest masters of High Renaissance music.
Little is known of the early life of Heinrich Isaac. He asserted that he came from Flanders. His birth date is believed to be within a few years of the mid-15th century. He was undoubtedly trained in the Low Countries and remained there until 1484, when Lorenzo de' Medici, impressed by his reputation, invited Isaac to Florence. For 10 years he worked at the principal churches of the city as composer, singer, and choir director.
Isaac was also a composer for the Medici household and taught music to Lorenzo's children. During this decade he composed many carnival songs (now lost) to the poems of his wealthy patron. With the fall of the Medici and their expulsion from Florence (1494), Isaac lost his posts and was obliged to seek employment with the Hapsburgs at Vienna and Innsbruck. He did, however, maintain a house in Florence until his death, partly because he loved the city and partly in deference to his Florentine wife.
In 1496 Emperor Maximilian of Austria appointed Isaac imperial court composer at Vienna, a title he retained for the rest of his life. His church music for the German liturgy as well as his German songs all probably date from this time. As court composer he was required only to furnish the court and chapel with musical compositions; continuous attendance on the monarch was not required, so the composer lived far from Vienna for many years. Maximilian also seems not to have objected to Isaac's composing for other rulers or civic authorities while on the imperial payroll. Isaac received payments from the Elector of Saxony (1497-1500) and wrote music for the Duke of Ferrara (1503-1505). A commission from the German city of Constance in 1508 produced a monumental series of polyphonic Mass Propers (Introits, Alleluias, Sequences, Communions) for feast days celebrated in the city. These pieces, together with other Mass Propers by Isaac, were published posthumously in three volumes as the Choralis Constantinus (1550-1555).
In 1512 the Medici returned to Florence, and a year later Giovanni de' Medici, Isaac's former student, ascended the papal throne as Leo X. Isaac thereupon requested papal assistance for reinstatement to his former positions at Florence. When these negotiations were successfully completed in 1514, Isaac journeyed north for release from further obligations to his imperial master. With characteristic magnanimity Emperor Maximilian permitted the composer to return to Florence without loss of salary and, in effect, gave him a pension to enjoy his last days in Italy. Several months after drawing up his final (third) last will and testament, Isaac died in Florence on March 26, 1517.
Isaac's music owes much to the Netherlandish style he learned in his homeland. Among his more conservative traits is a persistent allegiance to the traditional cantus firmus. He wrote fewer pieces without a borrowed tune than many contemporaries who were then moving more toward free composition. Among the progressive features of his style is his use of imitation and melodic and rhythmic equality of voice parts. Intricate canons and notational artifices are occasionally found in the Masses, but they almost always serve a musical purpose. Similarly, Isaac's melodic lines may sometimes look intricate and fussy, but they never sound so to the exclusion of their musical interest. That he was a great melodist is shown by his song Innsbruck ich muss dich lassen, a tune destined to have a strong influence on the later German song.
Unlike some of his contemporaries, Isaac was equally adept at writing religious and secular music: German, French, and Italian songs; instrumental pieces; Masses for four to six voices and Propers for the entire church year; separate Credos; and motets. He had the rare ability to assimilate different national styles and yet preserve his own idiom.
Isaac's music is discussed in Gustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance (1954; rev. ed. 1959), and J. A. Westrup and others, eds., The New Oxford History of Music, vol. 3 (1960). For a summary of music in the Renaissance see Paul Henry Lang, Music in Western Civilization (1941).

The theme for Northwest Elementary character education program is "Mission to the Top". The theme is representative of the great challenges facing mountain climbers. The way to the top can be full of trials and tribulations but if they stick to the task and are responsible in their decisions the ultimate goal is to complete the climb and arrive safely at the top of the mountain.
Northwest wants their students to take this same attitude in making responsible decisions about academics and behavior during each school year. These kinds of decisions will help the students and the dedicated staff at Northwest successful.
Each month a character trait is celebrated with in each classroom and throughout the building. One student from each class that most exemplifies that trait is selected by their teacher to be that months Tiger Cub. Each cub receives a nap sack with the program theme painted across the back. Other students demonstrating the monthly trait are also recognized by being awarded a "Climbing with Character" award. Students that do something extraordinary like turning in lost money or items are recognized with our "Caught in the Act Backpacker" award.
At the end of the school year students that have accumulated the most awards are recognized as the grade level "Tiger Cub" of the year and receive a beautiful back pack with our theme " Mission to the Top" embroidered across the back.
Northwest's Accelerated Reader theme for 2018-2019 is Enchanted Forrest. Students will be recognized for each station and location they meet. Thematic icons will be placed on bulletin boards outside each classroom.
Station points are accumulated by test points or books read depending on your grade. Students making their goals will celebrate on the designated dates with a culminating assembly and celebration at years end. Top readers per grade level will be recognized at each Tiger Cub assembly and the top readers for the year will be recognized during the AR assembly in May. The date of that assembly will be determined by the number of snow days we make up in May.
Top readers will be recognized after each station. Top readers for the year will be recognized at an assembly in May.
The October celebrations coincide with Fall Break and Tiger Cub on Oct. 26 so they had to be pushed back until November. The December celebrations runs into Tiger Cub the 18th and Christmas Parties the 19th. | 2019-04-24T15:59:29 | http://cowetaps.org/index.php/schools/northwest-elementary/programs-clubs/ |
You can use several methods...end-methods sections. The only things you can do to the class in these sections are: defining methods, and overriding the class's selectors. You must not define new selectors or fields.
Note that you often have to override a selector before using it. In particular, you usually have to override construct with a new method before you can invoke heap-new and friends.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When mature male white-crowned sparrows duel to win a mate or a nesting territory, a young bird just doesn't get much respect.
Researchers found that older male white-crowned sparrows don't put much of a fight when they hear a young male singing in their territory - probably because the older bird doesn't consider the young rival much of a threat.
But a male sparrow will act much more aggressively if it hears a bird of the same age singing in a territory it claims as its own.
"These male sparrows assess an opponent's fighting ability based on age. And for a mature sparrow, a young male is just not going to scare them," said Angelika Poesel, lead author of the study and curator of Ohio State University's Borror Laboratory of Bioacoustics and the tetrapod division.
Poesel conducted the study with Douglas Nelson, associate professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology at Ohio State and director of the Borror Lab. Their results appear online in the journal Biology Letters.
This study is one of the first to suggest that some birds use each other's songs - and not just plumage - to help determine a potential rival's age and thus threat level.
The researchers did the study in a migratory population of white-crowned sparrows that nested in a state park in Bandon, Oregon from 2008 to 2011. The researchers have been studying this population since 2005.
A male white-crowned sparrow, like many bird species, uses its songs to claim a nesting territory, win an appropriate mate, and sometimes to find additional females to mate with. Males will often attack and attempt to chase away other birds of the same species that sing in their territories.
In some species of birds, second-year males differ in their plumage and/or their songs from older, more mature birds. In white-crowned sparrows, second-year males have some plumage differences from older males. But this study focused on another difference: second-year males will often sing two or more versions of their species' song before they settle on the one that they will use the rest of their lives.
That means older white-crowned sparrows can tell a youngster by the fact that it will sing more than one version of the species song.
In this study, the researchers mapped out territories of 16 male white-crowned sparrows - eight of which had held territories at the park in previous years (identified by bands placed on their legs in previous years) and eight second-year males that had never held a territory there before.
The researchers placed a loudspeaker within the birds' territories and played recordings that suggested either a second-year bird or an older, mature bird had invaded their territory.
Several measures determined how threatened the birds were by what they perceived as an incursion into their territories.
If the male perceives the bird they hear as a greater threat, it will approach the loudspeaker more closely (to confront the rival), take more flights toward the speaker, and sing more songs.
Results showed that older birds didn't react as strongly when they heard a recording of a second-year bird than they did to one of an older male. In other words, when they heard the second-year male, they didn't approach the loudspeaker as closely, they didn't fly to the speaker as many times, and they didn't sing as often in response.
"Other research suggests that younger male birds are less successful at attracting females than older males. That means older males see these young birds as little threat to them and not worth a lot of attention," Poesel said.
But the study did show that second-year males that had established a territory did respond aggressively when they heard the recordings of other second-year males within their area.
"Another young male that is likely in search of a territory is seen as a strong threat and an equal competitor," she said. "They will elicit a strong, aggressive response from another young bird."
These findings suggest that some male songbirds use each other's song as a way to conduct a "mutual assessment" of each other as a potential rival.
"There's more likely to be a conflict when both of the birds see themselves as equal competitors," Poesel said.
"White-crowned sparrows aren't interested in picking a fight with another bird that is much stronger or weaker than themselves." | 2019-04-22T05:17:21 | https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2012-02/osu-soa020712.php |

Deputy Assistant to the President Dr. Sebastian Gorka, formerly National Security editor for Breitbart News, addressed the controversy over National Security Adviser Mike Flynn’s pre-inauguration phone calls to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on Monday’s Breitbart News Daily.
“I can’t comment on what was said, or what wasn’t said, on those telephone calls even though the good general himself says that he can’t remember all the details,” Gorka said. “All I can tell you is my personal experience. I spent several months working very closely with General Flynn and the transition team, in his National Security Council transition team. He’s a man you would trust with your life. He’s a great patriot, man of honor, worn the cloth of the Republic.
“The bottom line is, he shook things up in the DIA, and there are a lot of people who want to take revenge on him. Names I’m not going to list across the airwaves right now, but people who do a little bit of research can work out. The Establishment doesn’t like General Flynn, and for me, that’s a good thing,” he told SiriusXM host Alex Marlow.
Turning to President Donald Trump’s meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Gorka said “the message that has to be taken home by everybody – our allies, our partners, and our competitors and our potential enemies – is that our relationship with Japan is back on track.
“I’m not part of that team, but I’ve spoken to the people that are working that issue, and it’s a fine line,” he said. “What we have suggested is that when it comes to the settlements, you can build on what you’ve already got. So if you’ve got a building, and you want to go up another story, it’s fine. But going to new territories is not going to help anybody. So we’d like to see a little bit of a snapshot in time. Let’s not have any more territory taken as part of the settlements, so that we can get down to some serious negotiations right now.
Another imminent presidential meeting will involve Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, described by Marlow as “pretty much the anti-Trump” for being “a young man who is very photogenic,” raised in an atmosphere of deep left-wing politics for his entire life.
Gorka said President Trump will soon decide how to proceed on his immigration executive order, after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a judicial restraining order against it. He praised the analysis Breitbart News has offered on the decision.
“Let’s not talk about the fact that the Ninth Circuit Court has been reversed 82 times. That’s their batting average. What Breitbart has very, very rightly revealed is that of the seven nations on the list that came from the Obama administration, 72 nationals of those nations have been convicted of jihadi terrorist activity in America since September the 11th,” he said.
Breitbart News Daily airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern. | 2019-04-26T00:22:30 | https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/02/13/dr-sebastian-gorka-left-cares-alinsky-tactics-political-triangulation-safety-americans/ |
Serena Hotel Islamabad is in the Capital of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The city was built between 1960 - 1970 to replace Karachi as the capital. The idea of the national capital of Islamabad was conceived by President Ayub Khan (1907–1974). Karachi had been the capital because it was Pakistan's commercial center, but it was not considered an appropriate administrative center due to many issues and therefore a planned city became a necessaty.
Combining a Rich history, the confluence of many a civilization and temperate climate, Islamabad - the capital city of Pakistan, is one of the most beautiful cities in the South Asian region. Wide, tree-lined streets adorn the various sectors and zones of the city, making it accessible and spectacular. Administratively, the city is located within the Islamabad Capital Territory, which is federally controlled, even though historically Islamabad has been a part of the Punjab province; more specifically the Potohar Plateau. A meticulously planned city by renowned town planners Doxiadis Associates, Islamabad is the fastest growing city in terms of population, economy and urban development. As this trend continues, the city is shedding its reputation as a city without character, and is fast becoming truly metropolitan.
Islamabad is a thriving hub of economic and cultural activities. The city offers beautiful parks and recreational areas, breathtaking scenery and a wide array of architectural wonders that are a unique blend of Islamic architecture with modern vision.
The climate of Islamabad has a humid subtropical climate, with 5 seasons i.e. spring (March to April), summer (May to June), Rainy Monsoon (July to August), autumn (September to October), and winter (November to February). The hottest month in Islamabad is June, with the average temperature exceeds 38 °C/100.4°F, while the wettest month is July, with heavy shower and evening thunderstorms with cloudburst not be neglected.
North Pakistan (Urdu: شمالی پاکستان) is the northern part of Pakistan. Commonly the name North Pakistan is used for the northern natural regions of the country which includes Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and north Punjab Province. | 2019-04-26T15:39:27 | http://atcpakistan.pk/aboutISB.aspx |

We examine the channels through which a randomized early childhood intervention in Colombia led to signi cant gains in cognitive and socio-emotional skills among a sample of disadvantaged children aged 12 to 24 months at baseline. We estimate the determinants of material and time investments in these children and evaluate the impact of the treatment on such investments. We then estimate the production functions for cognitive and socio-emotional skills. The effects of the program can be explained by increases in parental investments, which have strong e ffects on outcomes and are complementary to both maternal skills and child's baseline skills. | 2019-04-23T15:06:30 | https://www.econstor.eu/handle/10419/173964 |

I am pretty nervous about posting this blog post, actually very hesitant to share these pictures. I changed my mind about sharing the pictures about 50 times and settled with not sharing them. But I had to remind myself that this was my point of starting a blog, sharing honest progress photos along with skincare products I test. Whether it be to be helpful to people with acne scars, ladies who suffer from PCOS, anyone who has lived with blemish prone skin or beauties who want to know more about certain skincare products before splashing the cash that was my vision for starting this blog.
These are my up close & personal before, after and the morning after of my Derminator treatment. These pictures leave no flaw hidden. Actually, I have left them untouched other than bringing up the brightness. Yes I have horrible skin and it’s very problematic, it’s work in the progress. Yes, I have facial hair, lots of it actually, that really I should’ve thought about removing before I took these pictures but this is something I struggle with because of my PCOS. I could’ve photoshopped my facial hair out but I wanted to leave these as untouched as possible so you can see my real and true results.
For the longest time, I was in two minds about purchasing an at home derma needling tool. I had seen, read and heard of the amazing results people have had by doing derma needling but when it comes to anything that may make me bleed I don’t trust myself not to faint at the sight of a red blood dot.
That and the fact that if I use the derma needling in a wrong way I could 1. cause some permanent damage to my skin; 2. spend loads on going to a specialist to try to fix my mistakes or; 3. decide it’s too painful and never use it again. Option three is more likely since it’s a bit of my MO and my husband is extremely familiar with this. Being the amazing man he is, he never reminds me of those times, he’s always like cool let me check out what you’ve done.
When I make up my mind to do something I tend to go all in, there is no in between it’s either I jump in with both feet or nothing at all. It makes no sense but that’s how I roll. Come to think of it, that may also explain the reasons for my skincare stash.
So why did I decide to go for an electronic device rather than a handheld version I could control more manually and be able to take breaks if needed? Well, that answer has a lot to do with me going all in. With the electronic version, I can’t chicken out as quickly. Plus this was highly recommended by some beauties on Instagram. Instagram is my go to place for information, there are ladies and gentlemen that are way more knowledgeable than I am and share their personal experiences.
Before I got started my procedure I did a gentle double cleanse to make sure all the gunk was gone before I started to needling my face. For the first cleanse I used Neogen’s Calendula Cleansing water and then followed it up with Natio’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser, no Forero or Clarisonic use. I didn’t use a towel to dry my skin, I gently patted my face and let air dry as I set everything up.
Worth noting, I didn’t use any acids or any heavy hitting skincare products for about 5 days before.
My skin was pretty red and felt a little warm after, but I did not have any bleeding, which I was expecting. Now, I didn’t use any numbing cream, I have heard of people using a numbing cream before doing a derma needling session. Maybe in future I will but I’m nowhere near that stage yet.
The areas I avoided were my nose, my lip line and below my jawline. Maybe after using it another few times I may try to go a little lower since I do have some scarring below my jawline from past cystic acne.
I had a small cluster of breakouts on my left cheek area so I avoided going directly into that area and instead went around it. If memory serves me right, I believe I might have read somewhere not to derma needle any breakout spots.
After I completed my session I rinsed my face with warm water and again let it air dry to avoid any cross contamination from a towel or washcloth.
Once my skin was dry I spread a layer of Infadolan (pictured below) on my face. This product is an ointment that helps accelerate wound healing, You can find more information about this from OwnDoc’s website.
After the Infadolan was applied it felt really soothing on my skin, I left it on for about 30 minutes before applying the Elions Cosmeceuticals Copper Peptide Intensive Mask (sheet mask).
This mask felt so incredibly nice on my skin after the derma needling session. My skin felt a little warm but after applying this sheet mask it felt cooling and refreshing on my face.
The mask was soaked in essence and had loads left in the pouch to apply after you remove the mask. It didn’t have a scent and the material is very soft and fits beautifully on my huge face!
The sheet mask has the eye covers that you can apply over your eyes for an extra treatment. I didn’t apply them because I was reading a book while I had this on, but none the less it’s there if you want that extra care.

As you can see the morning after my skin was still fairly red and looking a little sunburnt. I made sure to plan my session on a Friday night and I didn’t leave the house or go outside for a few days. When I did go out later in the week I made sure to apply SPF every single place I could.
My skincare steps consisted of the same thing from the night before minus the sheet mask. I did apply the Infadolan ointment one more time and that’s the last time I’ve used it for that session.
If you’d like to read my detailed review on The Derminator you can click here. I’m releasing both of these blog posts at the same time so you can read both if you’re interested. I will warn you it’s a long post, so you may want to do a double mask session.
I liked this, I feel my skincare has been extra productive since doing this treatment. Whether that is because my skin is repairing itself from the session, the skincare products are penetrating deeper into my skin or a combination of both; I feel like my skin has really benefited from this session.
I’m planning to use this every 6 weeks with a rotating plan of at home peels, derma stamping and my PMD.
Have you tried any type of derma needling procedures in the past? Are you thinking of trying a derma needling tool? I’d love to hear any information you’d like to share.
Don’t rinse your Face after Treatment. Leave it for a few hours. Blood and Cellliquids contain PRP.
Oh really? Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into it for my next session, which is due in a couple of weeks.
I just bought the derminator. I am 59 years old with no real skin issues other than I am aging. My son has acne scars and in a way I was testing the machine out to see if this might be a good fit for him. It was painful, not terrible, but certainly got my attention at .5 needle length. How are you doing with the machine. Have you seen a reduction in your acne scars?
Hi Madeline, I’m curious to see how the Derminator has been treating you! Are you a fan or not so much?
I need to do another session next weekend because I was getting such great results but it’s been a few months since I’ve used it last.
Hi there, I have been using the Derminator sporadically for the last 7 months and have seen a huge difference in the quality and refinement of my skin. I am 40 and suffered from cystic acne since age 12. I have / had severe scarring and tried multiple laser, chemical, and (64) punch excisions, Accutane 4 times, nothing works as well as the Derminator and Retin-A. Good luck!!
And using the suction device from the Owndoc site. I read a study where maximum needling results were achieved by doing suction every day from day 3-10.
WOW! You are into a great routine to work on your skin concerns! I’d love to know about your progress pictures and the amount of time it’s taken you to get the different results. I love hearing and learning from others!
I started using the Derminator in about June 2017. I have learned a ton! For instance my skin sees the greatest improvements if I hit the same scar from multiple angles using a single needle. I’ve also experimented with going different depths like 1.75 and .50 immediately afterward.
Hi Lisa, I am a laser victim and got some indents from the laser so I also plan to use Derminator and single needling for the scars. May I know further about ‘multiple angles using a single needle’. By Multiple angles, do you point the needle vertically straight or forming 45 degrees angle? Do you single needle on top of the scar or leave the derminator for it because I also plan to do longer single needle then followed by 0.5 derminator all over the scars. Lastly, do you single needle from the outer area of the scar then the edge of the scar? Sorry for the many questions but it’s really devastating when your once not so problematic skin got more scars from a laser procedure.
Can you explain how you do your own subcision? Where do you buy your needles and what are the steps? Do you have pictures? Thank you!
Hi Soph, thanks so much for your review with pictures. It’s very relieving to get some recent reviews of the Derminator. How are you going? Have you got into the next treatment?
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your comment 🙂 I was going to do a new Derminator treatment last week but I received my Foreo UFO device so I’ve been testing that little baby out!
I’ll be doing a new treatment and video soon because I want to try to use some of my hyaluronic acid serum to see if it the Derminator glides easier on my skin and try to make the depth a bit deeper. Fingers crossed I can handle going into a deeper depth! | 2019-04-24T06:42:06 | https://www.myskincarereality.com/derminator-progress-pictures/ |

A Cardiff Metropolitan University student has won a national writing prize for a short story he wrote while studying for his degree.
Third year BA English & Contemporary Media student Tom Holland beat off stiff competition to take the top prize in the New Media Writing Prize's Student category, with his entry, A Dream Within a Dream.
26-year-old Tom from Whitchurch, Cardiff, submitted the story which he wrote as part of an assignment, upon the recommendation of one of his tutors, Spencer Jordan.
The prize itself is a three month paid apprenticeship with Unicorn Training in Bournemouth which provides industry-leading learning and development solutions for their customers through the innovative use of technology. Tom will take up the valuable placement when he graduates next year.
Penned under the pseudonym Herm Holland, A Dream Within a Dream is a modern adaption of Edgar Alan Poe's The Raven, featuring strongly autobiographical references from Tom's own life.
Speaking about the win, Tom said: "On hearing that I was shortlisted for the student prize I was both shocked and ecstatic. I had decided that I would have wanted to win the prize in that category the most, so to be chosen as the winner is an honour.
"My immediate reaction to the announcement was disbelief but it has definitely encouraged me to further pursue this type of writing. The level of support I've had from my tutors at Cardiff Met has been wonderful and without this I would not have won this award. It has given me a huge confidence boost."
Robert Taffurelli, Senior Lecturer in Media and Journalism at Cardiff Met's School of Education added: "We are very proud to see one of our students competing at a national level.
"Tom is evidently a talented writer and we are confident that he can use this platform to further pursue a career in his chosen field." | 2019-04-22T03:12:04 | http://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/news/Pages/Cardiff-Met-student-takes-top-writing-prize.aspx |

Are you really surprised that Salesforce went out and bought ExactTarget for US$ 2.5 billion?
A Giant in the Making?
Marc Benioff is a man on a mission, for Salesforce to be the world's "leading" CRM platform and the "market leader" in market and technology. That's what Salesforce is saying with its biggest acquisition to date.
This is not the first marketing platform to join the Salesforce family. Radian6 and BuddyMedia came before it. But ExactTarget is probably the biggest marketing automation provider in the industry that wasn't owned by someone else (Eloqua would have fit in here, but it was acquired by Oracle last year).
The deal is this: Salesforce will acquire all shares of ExactTarget for US$ 33.75/share in cash. It is expected to increase Salesforce revenues by US$ 120 -125 million for the 2014 fiscal year. Of course Salesforce still has all the hoops to go through before the deal is final, but the company is noting a July 31, 2013 closing date.
Salesforce didn't meet its numbers for Q1 only growing 28% to US$ 893 million, just US$ 100 million shy of its first US$ 1 billion quarter, but you can expect it sees ExactTarget as a way to meet and exceed that US$ 1 billion mark.
ExactTarget will slide in nicely to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud alongside BuddyMedia, Radian6 and Social.com. It will certainly provide Salesforce with end-to-end digital marketing capabilites that will integrate fully with all of the Salesforce CRM offerings.
And remember, ExactTarget acquired Pardot just last year to add small business marketing automation capabilities to its own platform, which in the end gives Salesforce the ability address any size business.
This acquisition holds true to what Gartner recently said about the importance of lead management in CRM. Gartner estimates that investments in CRM marketing automation applications and services, which includes lead management, grew by 20% in 2011 and 2012 and by 2016 will be worth in the region of US$ 4.2 billion.
Oddly enough, it did not put ExactTarget in the leaders quadrant for lead management, pointing instead to Marketo (which just went public) and Eloqua. It did however note that Salesforce is a niche player and ExactTarget is a visionary, so the combination of the two should make a formidable challenger next year (note that this was the first year, ExactTarget made the Gartner Magic Quadrant).
So...are you surprised? And what does this really mean for Salesforce? | 2019-04-24T16:04:12 | https://www.cmswire.com/cms/customer-experience/salesforce-acquires-marketing-automation-provider-exacttarget-for-us25-billion-021156.php |

Research is a critical part of any business, and that’s a statement that perhaps couldn’t be truer than with shipping. No company is willing to trust their precious cargo with just anyone, and that means it is paramount that you do your research in order to get your cargo to its intended destination quickly and safely.
Delays and hurdles will pop up with even the most experienced partners in the industry, but many issues can be avoided altogether with proper planning, communication, and commitment from all sides.
With that said, many shippers come to the point where they begin to contemplate whether working directly with carriers and freight forwarders may be the best choice. In this article, we’ll review the pros and cons of doing just that.
Often seen as a strategy, more and more companies are beginning to consider the possibility of working with a carrier and freight forwarder directly. In fact, if you have been in business for any amount of time, you probably have someone in your network that has experience doing so.
As part of your crucial research process, speaking with your colleagues about their experiences is important in making an informed decision. What’s even more important is acknowledging the ends-and-outs of what choices you have to make, and what risks come along with them.
One of the primary reasons why businesses often opt to work directly with carriers and freight forwarders is that they are trying to get the best rates on their shipping, and even the best possible service. To many, it would seem obvious that the best rates would come straight from the source, right?
The source is the company that actually moves the cargo, known as a VOCC or a Vessel Operating Common Carrier. These VOCCs are the owners of the containers and vessels that allow cargo to be transported from one port to another. They are the ones responsible for getting everything you ship to its final destination.
However, this mode of thinking has a big flaw that can be easily identified through a simple analogy.
While we all wear shoes, no one is going to get the best price by going straight to the shoe factory. We simply don’t buy enough pairs to justify all the hassle, and the shoe factory realizes that too. That’s why there are middlemen who buy in bulk and then sell individually to customers.
Similarly, VOCCs have limitations that they have placed in order to avoid the hassle of working with the “small-time” customers. Without unlimited resources, VOCCs simply aren’t able to justify working with a low TEU volume shipper. It would be way too much back-and-forth without a lot in return for them.
Instead, they work with Freight Forwarders or NVOCCs (Non Vessel Operating Common Carriers). Freight Forwarders and NVOCCs don’t own their own vessels. Instead, they take on the role of “cargo consolidators”.
A NVOCC operates as a carrier in the legal sense, accepting the responsibilities of taking on your cargo and issuing a Bill of Lading.
A Freight Forwarder, on the other hand, is an intermediary that’s in contact with a NVOCC or VOCC.
At last count, Kuehne + Nagel (the largest sea freight forwarding company in the world) earns €6.92 billion annually.
If a shipper moves a substantially large amount of cargo, they can greatly benefit from signing a contract with a VOCC and working with them directly. If you happen to fit this description and your business moves large amounts of cargo, this can save you money from the financial perspective.
By working directly with a VOCC, your business will be able to cut out the middleman. Obviously, that saves businesses money in any scenario because you’re removing an intermediary who would otherwise be taking their own cut straight out of your pocket.
However, money isn’t everything. When it comes to giant retailers and chains that require a constant influx of merchandise, regardless of weather and other events, the availability of shipping and the quality of services goes far beyond the price. In many cases, these factors are even more important than the price because these companies are willing to pay more for reliability.
As such, these companies rarely want to work with Freight Forwarders because Freight Forwarders do not own or have any direct control over any of the cargo. Instead, they are complete intermediaries who are in charge of contacting and instructing carriers that must make shipping containers available and then board them onto the intended vessel in a given time frame.
A carrier, in contrast, does own containers and has a great amount of control over their containers, vessels, and the assets they are responsible for. That means they are more capable of delivering cargo on time, at any time, to any location within their network.
With all of this in mind, before a shipper can truly be considered by a VOCC directly, they must have over a 50,000 TEU volume kept to a few lanes to be considered for negotiating a contract with carriers. It never hurts to try of course, but NVOCCs and Freight Forwarders are often necessary.
Working with NVOCCs and Freight Forwarders isn’t the end of the world; in fact, it’s a very common practice for many different companies.
However, one thing to look out for is the promise of “lowest rates”. While this might seem like an automatic good deal, the “lowest freight rates” are constantly changing. With the volatile shipping market and a number of different factors that change constantly (think vessel space, fuel cost, and actual supply/demand), the “best rate” is actually always fluctuating and highly unpredictable.
When you end up shipping cargo and coming in at a rate less than was previously forecast, that’s great, but it’s not always a positive thing. If the market is low and your competition happens to be paying even less than you are, that means you’re still overpaying despite previous projections. Plus, since internal resources may be lacking, changes may be necessary at a moment’s notice.
This is where NVOCCs come in. It is highly encouraged that shippers consider forming a partnership with an NVOCC that is able to legally operate as a cargo carrier. This means they will accept the full responsibility of the cargo in addition to issuing a Bill of Lading.
NVOCCs come with a few pros, like the fact that they work with more than one shipper. They also commit large volumes to multiple VOCCs, and that equates to more buying power and, more importantly, lower rates.
Mega ships are becoming more widely used and global trade has failed to see tremendous growth in recent times because more VOCCs have to restructure things. Changing their service loops and reducing how many port calls they make has meant that shippers have fewer options than before.
On one hand, this means VOCCs have morphed to be more flexible by using shipping alliances to offer more than one sailing schedule whereas they traditionally only run one sailing every week for each port.
However, a shipper that’s light on inventory may still find that these sailings do not happen soon enough. Last minute changes can also have a huge impact.
That’s when a NVOCC can come to the rescue, working with more than one carrier in different shipping alliances. This enables NVOCCs to offer up multiple sailing options even in a low season (or a high one), helping to keep your company on schedule.
At the same time, a Freight Forwarder that has access to NVOCCs or functions as an NVOCC is all about making logistics more hassle-free. They take as much of the complexity out of the process as possible, offering up multiple value-added services like port-to-port delivery and even guaranteed on-time deliveries. Some even add real-time visibility to their list of services.
In short, Freight Forwarders are able to offer a sort of full-service treatment that many shippers indulge in. Since these companies realize that they cannot compete with VOCCs on price alone, they do their best to add value to their partnerships with additional services that VOCCs don’t traditionally offer.
Most Freight Forwarders are pouring large investments into their communication systems. They are also hiring specialized professionals and training staff to handle not only general logistics, but also customer service and global affairs. This has helped them improve service quality, even if they don’t always have the hands-on control that enables them to offer the lowest price.
At the end of the day, there is not a “one size fits all” solution or even a “best” solution for most companies.
Instead, you have to take a number of different factors into account. If you were to form a partnership with just one variable in mind, like price or even service, you’re likely to be disappointed with your decision.
Multiple variables need to be considered, including the current size of your business and its scope. Figure out which option will best fit your company’s needs and go from there. | 2019-04-24T04:40:33 | http://qafila.com/pros-and-cons-of-working-with-freight-forwarders/ |
The Department of Defense (DoD) Acquisition system is directed by DoD Instruction 5000.02 “Operation of the Defense Acquisition System”. This instruction provides the policies and principles that govern the defense acquisition system and the phases that form the foundation for all DoD programs. It also identifies the specific statutory and regulatory reports and other information requirements for each phase and Milestone. The DoD calls the system an event based process where a program goes thru a series of phases, milestones and reviews from beginning to end. Each milestone is the culmination of a phase were it’s determined if a program will process into the next phase.
The purpose of MSA Phase A is to analyze all potential material solutions for an identified need stated in an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). The phases consist of an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and Material Solution Analysis activities to include measures of effectiveness, cost estimates, schedule, concept of operations and risk. The goal of this phase is to recommend possible solutions for further exploration in the Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction (TMRR) Phase.
The purpose of the TMRR phase is to reduce technology risks and to determine the appropriate set of technologies to be integrated into a future system that satisfies the needs in an ICD. This phase will consist of risk reduction, cost estimations and programmatic activities. The goal of this phase is to reduce the technology risk to an acceptable level, have a defined set of requirements in a Capability Development Document (CDD) and a preliminary acquisition strategy to start an official program in the next phase.
Phase EMD is the start of an official program. The purpose of this phase is the development of a capability. This phase starts after a Milestone B review and consists of two efforts, Integrated System Design (ISD) and System Capability and Manufacturing Process Demonstration (SC&MP). It also contains a Critical Design Review (CDR) Assessment at the conclusion of the ISD effort. The goal of this phase is to complete the engineering development of a capability or system and proceed into production and development.
The purpose of the PD Phase is to achieve an operational capability that satisfies the users and mission needs. This phase consist of two efforts: Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and Full-Rate Production Decision Review (FRPDR). The phase will also include operational testing of the capability to determine its effectiveness.
The purpose of the OS Phase is Life-Cycle Sustainment and Disposal. This phase is initiated by the deployment of the first fielded system of a program. The Life-Cycle Sustainment efforts overlap the FRPDR effort of the Production and Development Phase. The phase ends with the final disposal of a system. | 2019-04-23T00:43:04 | http://acqnotes.com/acqnote/acquisitions/acquisition-phases |

More private property being confiscated… Get ready – its coming to a government near you!
…….. speaking of pensioners, you’ve undoubtedly heard by now that Poland has ‘overhauled’ its pension system by making a grab for private pension fund assets.
In nationalizing pension funds, the government of Poland gets to count those assets on its balance sheet, thus ‘reducing’ net public debt by roughly 8% of GDP.
This is a criminal enterprise, plain and simple. And anyone else would get thrown in jail for such a move.
Of course, the government claims that it’s for everyone’s safety and security.
By nationalizing pension funds, the government plans to gradually ‘adjust’ people’s portfolios away from stocks and into… what else? Government bonds.
Naturally, this is for people’s benefit, since government bonds are so safe and secure.
And there you have it– confiscation of private property = Safety.
We’ve been talking about this trend for four years now. This is no longer theory. It’s real. It’s happening. And it’s coming soon to a bankrupt, insolvent nation near you.
Europe is Fixed? Just Like Wall Street Was “Fixed” in May 2008, How’d That Turn Out?
Little more than three years ago, Ireland’s taxpayers were saddled with around 40 billion euros of debt, after their government had been pushed by the European Central Bank into rescuing its largest commercial banks, which had been left floundering in the wake of Ireland’s property price collapse; but there was not enough ‘cash’ to finance the rescue.
Instead, promissory notes were issued to the value of 30 billion euros. Those notes served as collateral to raise a 30 billon euro loan from Ireland’s independent central bank. The proceeds were then used to reimburse the creditors (largely northern European banks and other financial institutions) of Ireland’s failed banks.
Ireland’s loss was Europe’s gain and so a very bad deal for Ireland’s taxpayers, who faced a commitment to honour promissory notes, with annual payments of around 3 billion euros. At those magnitudes and bearing 8 percent interest, the burden was untenable. So, last year a ruse had a trial run. Instead of 3 billion euros in cash, government bonds bearing 3 percent interest were issued and swapped for the promissory notes then due. No one seemed to give the move much attention.
Sovereign debt within the eurozone has been openly monetised and will remain so pending a schedule of debt repayments beginning only in 2038 and running through until 2052; which is not something that the Governing Council would wish to make clear.
In the Commission draft report , which looks into the functioning of the EEA, the Scandinavian country is being criticized for imposing tariffs on EU products from 2013 and “resisted EU efforts for ambitious liberalization” of the EU’s single market.
“This situation might thus lead to competitive advantages for operators based in the EEA-EFTA countries, and more fundamentally risks undermining the legal certainty and homogeneity of the single market,” the report reads.
“This problem is of great concern for the EU side and should be solved as a matter of urgency,” the report states.
Danish MEP Bendt Bendtsen (European People’s Party), who has been closely following the trade issues with Norway, told EurActiv the problems started in 2012 when Norway raised the price of hydrangeas from the EU by 72%.
Bendtsen said Norway is acting “selfishly” and that the taxes were put on EU goods “deliberately” as the Norwegian Centre Party, which is part of the Norwegian government, has for a long time pushed for the extra taxes.
“Norway only wants the cream on the cake,” the MEP said.
“This development worries us. We don’t like the backlog on implementing directives, and this is a case we are trying to deal with now,” Maja Kocijancic, spokesperson of Catherine Ashton, the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, told Norwegian TV2 .
She confirmed that the EU is looking into the possibilities for sanctions within the EEA agreement’s frame.
However, Bendtsen said that the right EU punishment would be to hit Norway’s fishing industry, or to take the step even further: “The consequence should be kicking Norway out of the EEA,” the MEP said.
Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said the country has a good relationship with the EU, but the fact that there are disagreements over individual directives is nothing new.
Erna Solberg, leader of the biggest opposition party, the Conservatives, said the Norwegian government doesn’t understand the EEA’s mutual obligations. She said Norway isn’t active enough when it comes to its Europe policy and doesn’t use the opportunities in effecting the EU legislation enough.
“It is stupid that we have put ourselves in a situation where our closest partners obviously are frustrated with us,” Solberg said .
Norway has previously been mentioned as a positive example of a non-EU member which still gets advantages and benefits of being part of the EU’s single market.
However, in his EU speech last Wednesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron asked whether it was in Britain’s best interest and desirable for Britain to be like Norway or Switzerland – with access to the single market, but outside the EU.
“While Norway is part of the single market – and pays for the principle – it has no say at all in setting its rules: it just has to implement its directives,” Cameron said.
Determining the “pain threshold” beyond which the euro appreciation would significantly impair the recovery is crucial at this juncture. Deutsche Bank’s quantification of this “pain threshold”, is not fixed but depends critically on the pace of global growth. If world demand accelerates from a current pace of 1.3% YoY to 4.2% YoY by Q3 2013 (30% below trend), as per OECD forecasts, the EURUSD exchange rate which would be consistent with maintained competitiveness would stand at 1.37 (not far from where we are).
However, if growth is lower (as we humbly suspect) the threshold for currency strength to hamper growth is considerably below current levels. What is more concerning, as a dysfunctional union of economies might be suspected of, is the divergences between member states and their pain thresholds.
Crucially, the fact that Italy and France are already facing problems as the current EURUSD rate is well above their pain threshold, while Germany remains below (despite its protestations) may be fuel for more Franco-German instability as the push-pull of easier monetary policy places Draghi between a rock of core stability and a hard place of depression.
Exchange rate issues have made a spectacular come-back in European policy debate this week, on the back of speculations on “currency wars” emanating from emerging economies and Japan. While market sentiment towards the Euro area and specifically on the periphery has improved significantly over the last few months, a higher euro is seen as a potential “spanner in the works” which could rekindle doubts surrounding debt sustainability there, if the expected export led recovery is postponed by several quarters by a loss in competitiveness.
When controlling for the pace of world demand and when looking at the Euro area as an aggregate, we are according to our estimates currently in or near the “danger zone” where the exchange rate is effectively undermining competitiveness.
We apply our model to the four largest economies of the Euro area. We find that while the pain threshold for Germany, and probably more counter-intuitively for Spain, now stands higher than any level ever reached since the beginning of monetary union, it is actually quite low for France (1.24) and Italy (1.17), for a world demand pace of 4.2%.
It is therefore surprising, at first glance, to observe that most of the recent flurry of comments on exchange rate issues came from Germany. We suggest that the German concerns over currency wars do not primarily stem from a fear of the consequence for German exporters, but rather from the fact that further euro appreciation could unduly delay the normalization of the ECB monetary policy framework.
What these comments from Germany reflect in our view is a concern that currency wars ultimately generate global inflation which the ECB could not easily resist given the persistent fragility of the periphery.
It follows from these considerations that on balance further euro appreciation is the likeliest path, short of a rapid relapse in widespread doubts in the periphery’s sustainability (which would be likely if the Euro area “misses the recovery” in 1H 2013. This means that France and Italy must make rapid progress on productivity and flexibility (as well as possibly off-shoring) to enhance their resilience to currency appreciation.
I was reminded recently that there is an important distinction between a problem and a dilemma. A problem has a solution while a dilemma must be continuously managed. The euro’s situation has evolved from being a severe problem to posing a dilemma for eurozone countries seeking to grow and secure debt sustainability.
Six months ago, stress on the European financial system led to existential questions about the euro. The financial system was fragmenting, deposits were pouring out of the weaker countries, and high interest rates were converting liquidity problems into solvency ones, adding to the regional headaches caused by countries already in vicious debt cycles.
Bold policy reactions stopped this dynamic – so much so that, today, several investors are again emphasising rate convergence for many eurozone bond markets. And while harmful credit rationing persists, especially for small- and medium-sized companies in peripheral economies, banks are less fragile.
The immediate solution to the euro’s existential problem came in the form of the European Central Bank’s “outright monetary transactions “. The ECB was supported by the progress made by governments in agreeing to reinforce monetary union with greater fiscal union, political integration and banking union.
Having solved its urgent problem, the eurozone needs to deal with a new dilemma: that of an appreciating currency. There is a growing number of countries seeking to weaken their own currencies. Indeed, in the last six months, the euro has appreciated by 11 per cent against the US dollar and by 8 per cent in nominal trade weighted terms. It has appreciated by a lot more against the Japanese yen.
With growth already sluggish, the eurozone can ill afford a stronger currency. Sharp appreciation undermines economic activity – not only for export powerhouses such as Germany but also for countries such as Spain where, for the past eight quarters, the contribution of net exports has been positive.
With budgetary concerns continuing to dominate mindsets, few countries are able and willing to stimulate their economies by loosening national fiscal policies. As a result, the number of unemployed citizens – which is 6m higher than at the outset of the global financial crisis – remains alarmingly high, and especially so among the young.
Given what other countries are doing around the world, European politicians need to significantly accelerate policy reforms if they wish to maintain competitiveness in a safe and orderly fashion. This involves quickly moving from the design to the implementation of key measures.
At the regional level, productivity-enhancing structural reforms need to accompany a renewed push on fiscal union, banking union and political integration; and, for starters, politicians should not wait for the June summit to press ahead with the “four presidents” report .
But, having averted an existential financial problem, politicians seem more interested to bask in their success than deal with remaining challenges. This understandable desire to savour the moment – and with it, the illusion of stability – is inevitably strong in the run-up to several key elections this year.
With politicians failing to manage the dilemma directly, it is only a matter of time until they again look to the ECB for help.
Expect the ECB to be pressed hard to join other central banks in actively seeking to depreciate the currency – by cutting the policy rate (currently 0.75 per cent) and quantitative easing of the type pursued by the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan and the US Federal Reserve.
This is not a road that the ECB will embark on easily. And if it does, it would seek to address a regional dilemma by adding to a global one.
Being a relative price, all countries cannot simultaneously weaken their exchange rates (except against gold, real estate and other “real” assets). And should the ECB feel forced to join collective attempts to do the impossible, the risks of a global currency war and related beggar-thy-neighbor outcomes would increase meaningfully.
Euro-area jobless data this week will expose the social cost of last year’s debt crisis and recession on southern European economies as unemployment across the region probably rose to a record in December.
While measures to stem the region’s debt turmoil have helped reduce sovereign bond yields from Spain to Greece, the recession and crisis have led to job cuts by companies and governments. The European Central Bank predicts the currency bloc’s economy will shrink 0.3 percent this year and President Mario Draghi said last week that the “jury is still out” on whether investor optimism can be reflected in economic momentum.
Spanish data last week showed a record 26 percent of the workforce without jobs in the fourth quarter, bringing the total close to 6 million people. In Greece, the rate was even higher in October, at 26.8 percent, also a record.
While economists predict the German unemployment rate will stay unchanged, they still see an increase of 8,000 people without work this month from December, according to the median forecast of 31 economists in a Bloomberg news survey.
The euro-area economy has shrunk for two successive quarters and economists predict a further 0.4 percent decline in gross domestic product in the final three months of last year, according to the median of 26 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. The International Monetary Fund on Jan. 23 cut its global growth forecast and projected a second year of contraction in the euro region.
While investor confidence in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, rose to the highest in 2 1/2 years this month as debt tensions ease, high unemployment and continued austerity measures elsewhere are undermining household sentiment and spending. An index of euro-area economic confidence probably rose to the highest level since June, according to median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 30 economists.
“We’re in the phase of financial conditions improving and markets becoming more optimistic, but that has to feed through to the real economy,” ING’s Van Vliet said.
ECB Governing Council member Luc Coene said he would prefer the central bank’s as-yet-untapped bond-buying program to stay that way and it’s now up to governments to generate growth in the euro area.
No country has yet asked for a bailout that could trigger bond buying by the ECB after Draghi’s rescue plan, announced in July, ended a wave of panic in euro-region debt markets. The currency block will see a “shallow” recovery starting this year as long as leaders don’t hesitate to implement measures to reduce debt and increase competitiveness, Coene said.
France needs an economic overhaul to revive growth and help underpin the political union required to stabilize the euro region, Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff said.
European governments’ policy responses to the debt crisis, such as a “half-hearted” banking union and national budget oversight by the European Commission, aren’t enough, Rogoff was quoted as saying in an interview published in German newspaper Die Welt today. Leaders need to start now with a push toward political integration that includes a European government with taxation powers, he told the Berlin-based daily.
If governments follow through on their promises in the coming months, underlying momentum could mean the ECB will revise its prediction that the euro-area economy will contract by 0.3 percent this year, Coene said.
Mark Carney, who is due to take over as Bank of England governor in July, said policy makers should secure “escape velocity” for their economies and there’s room for more monetary stimulus around the world. Policy in developed countries isn’t “maxed out” and central bankers can be flexible in meeting inflation goals, Carney, currently governor of the Bank of Canada, said on Jan. 26 in Davos.
Alongside the euro-area unemployment data, Eurostat, the European Union’s statistics office, will also release data on consumer prices for January. The annual inflation rate will remain at 2.2 percent compared with December, according to the median of 39 economists’ forecasts in a survey.
Euro-area economic conditions will be “tough” in the first half before a wider recovery takes hold in 2014, according to Patrick de Maeseneire, chief executive officer of Adecco SA (ADEN), the world’s biggest supplier of temporary workers.
PSA Peugeot Citroen (UG), Europe’s second-largest carmaker, said last month it will eliminate an additional 1,500 jobs by 2014, on top of 8,000 announced in July.
How many European Union officials does it take to change a light bulb?
None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its condition is improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are an illusional spin from the American media. Illuminating European rooms is hard work. That light bulb has served honorably, and any commentary not approved by the EU undermines the lighting effort.
One thing that is rationally learned from watching Europe is that what is said, what is fed to the media as fact, is often only factual in the minds of those that have created the fairy tale. Whether it is the debt to GDP ratios of the nations in Europe or the uncounted liabilities of a country or the loans to some bank that are recorded as investments and not liabilities; the drape of charade hangs resiliently over the entire spectacle. It is often a farce interwoven with a sham presented as fully cooked pie that is really half-baked and then we are all expected to eat it and rave about not just the recipe but the ingredients and the presentation. All well and good for the sheep and the herders leading them; but I have been to the top of Mt. Olympus and there are neither gods nor temples.
Now on January 30 the ECB will get paid back $182.2 billion from the European banks that borrowed the money in the LTRO operations. This is not 25% of the loans made, as touted in almost every headline, but about 10% of the loans outstanding as somehow it is conveniently forgotten that there were two loan packages totaling $1.3 trillion which were initiated in December 2011 and the second in February 2012. This is not two years ahead of schedule as headlined in the Press as about half of the loans ($655 billion) were made in the 2011 tranche. Let us begin then with a nod to accuracy and explore the rest of what we are told.
I have learned, over the last several years, that Europe is psychotic. They create an illusion, tell us that it is reality and then are angered when we question the validity of what we are told. This is not authenticity but pretense and this sort of pretense is concocted to lead you into places that no rational man wants to wander.
The interest rate, being paid by the European banks to the ECB is 0.75%, so one may rationally assume that no financial institution, in their right mind, would pay off such a loan for economic reasons. The banks cannot borrow on their own for three years at this level and so to pay them off early makes no economic sense. Yet they are being paid off and if it does not make sense economically then it must make sense for some other reason or reasons. If the agenda is devoid of common sense in its presentation then there must be a hidden agenda and a man working feverishly behind the curtains and manipulating the levers. Here it may well be the financial condition of the ECB itself which, without doubt, is stuffed with both loans and securitizations that given the wretched state of most economies in Europe, must be in very poor condition where the assets are only worth cents on the dollar or perhaps not even that if one considers the Real Estate markets in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. It is then quite obvious that the banks did not want to pay off the loans but that they were “encouraged” to do so for other reasons and one reason may well be to fund the ECB so that the central bank does not have to take on even more debt and inflate its own balance sheet as its assets values have deteriorated. Here we have a variation of the “Public Sector Involvement” which can be termed “Bank Sector Involvement” which may not cause losses on its face but which will certainly increase the funding costs for the European banks and so impair their balance sheets by the increased cost of funding which of course goes unmentioned in any European Press release and so uncommented upon by an accepting European media that blissfully accepts and willingly comments upon what it has been officially told.
The Wall Street Journal, yesterday, published an article, “Europe’s Banks to Repay Aid Early,” which stated, “The data provide one of the clearest illustrations to date of the surprisingly swift healing of large swaths of the European banking system. It removes a major impediment to a gradual recovery of the broader European economy, which hinges on the health of its banks.” With great respect for the Journal I must say that they have it totally wrong. The banks, without doubt, will have higher funding costs in paying off these loans and less attractive balance sheets as a result and so it is neither Europe nor her banks that will benefit with the only possible beneficiary being the European Central Bank. All of this has been made possible not by healthier economies nor by particular cheaper funding rates for the European sovereigns or banks but by the continual and unobstructed flow of money created by the ECB and other central banks. The world has become addicted, like in Frank Herbert’s marvelous Science Fiction novel, “Dune,” where “The spice must flow.” Whether it is the global equity or debt markets, the troubled nations in Europe and even the economy in America; there is but one pillar supporting the construct and that is the printing of money and the use of the newly created pieces of paper that are supporting the various houses of cards where politics in America and on the Continent have no other answer other than to spew out money in such a torrent and at such a velocity that it puts Niagara Falls to shame.
The world seems devoid of politicians that sensibly lead though they have been quite adept at spending past what can be afforded. The worlds’ central banks have been left to pick up the bills. The balance sheets bulge, the quality of the assets, especially in Europe, deteriorate. More is spent, more money is created, the markets head higher, more money is created, there is no other answer or response than more new paper, more green ink, more blue ink, and the bubble is systemic and perilous and chock full of fiscal risks. Remember, this morning, what I have told you because there will come a time when you will wish that you had considered more carefully what I said.
One attractive aspect of an EU exit would be the exit of the Common External Tariff. As Daniel Hannan has pointed out , the Single Market is more like a customs union than a free trade bloc. All goods coming into Britain from outside the EU are subject to tariffs, designed to protect European industries from cheaper competition.
There’s a 16% tax on bananas from outside the EU, a 17% tax on trainers, 12% on stoned fruit like peaches and plums, and 12% on shirts, suits, coats and school uniforms. Cars are taxed at 9.7%. Twine and string get a 9.2% hit. Knitted gloves carry an 8.8% tariff whereas non-knitted gloves are hit by 7.6%. You name it, they tax it.
The loser is the consumer. On its own, the European cucumber industry (protected by a 12.8% tariff) might not be very influential, but any threat to a tariff causes businesses and their lobbyists to circle the wagons.
The ‘bra wars ‘ ended with European consumers paying more for Chinese underwear – not because Big Brassiere is unbeatable, but because related industries recognised that, individually, they would fall, and marshalled their political representatives into action.
The most perverse part is that if we got rid of all these tariffs, many, if not most, producers would be better off too. They are consumers as well as producers, and tariffs make the inputs they use (like steel – 2.7%) more expensive. But they face exactly the same collective action problems as consumers at large do.
The old public choice problem holds: free-riding is more costly for members of small interest groups than for members of big ones. Ostracism from trade associations, and so on, is much easier (and more harmful) for firms that don’t go along with the lobbying. Unfortunately, there aren’t many people who will ostracise their fellow consumers for failing to renew their subscription to the Adam Smith Institute.
The public choice problem in politics is often overstated. Most of the people who march against austerity really do think the cuts are bad. Most of the people who want to keep out immigrants really do think that they’ll cost them jobs. And, no doubt, most people who support tariffs really do think that protecting native industries is a good idea.
But voters are not as aware of the Common External Tariff as they are of many other issues. It isn’t clear what the ‘left-wing’ position on taxing cheap clothes from China ought to be, nor the ‘conservative’ position on exposing native industries to the free market. It’s hard to escape the impression that the Tariff really is an example of businesses hijacking democracy. The External Tariff represents one of the biggest swindles of modern times: a collective theft from consumers by politically powerful producers. | 2019-04-26T16:05:20 | http://www.emergingevents.com/category/c29-by-region/c52-europe/ |

I was just working on a PHP file upload class, and found some inconsistent behavior in PHP. If you upload a file that is larger than the php.ini directive post_max_size, it will silently fail, and the $_FILES and $_POST arrays will be empty. It won't return an error code, it will just look like no file was uploaded.
This is quite annoying since almost every other file upload related error can by checked in the $_FILES['userfile']['error'] array. For example, if the file is larger than the upload_max_filesize directive, error will be set to 2, and you can report back to the user that the file is too large.
This error handling seems really inconsistent. Why have an error for one setting but not the other? Why not just create another error message in $_FILES['userfile']['error'] for post_max_size.
It looks like $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] is set even if the upload is greater than post_max_size. So you could check if $_FILES is empty and $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] is greater than the post_max_size, you could report back the file is too large to the user.
Update: I just realized I forgot to mention probably the most common reason file uploads don't work is because the HTML form doesn't have enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute. For every form that uploads files, this attribute must be on the <form> element or the browser will not send the file to the server. | 2019-04-21T22:26:09 | https://zachwaugh.com/posts/php-large-file-upload-results-in-empty-files-array |

We’re all creative and we want to be effective, doing work that matters. Long on a quest to be the best product person I can be, these days I learn a lot through my work as an instructor. My classes are on the interdisciplinary topics of product design and venture creation, so I get to work with business people wanting to understand the ‘technical side’ and engineers wanting to learn the ‘business’ side.
My take is that since none of us want to look stupid, we spend too much time trying to out-expert others. Instead, we’d be better off learning how to frame and ask each other the right questions.
Here are some notes on foundation skills that I think will help you ask those questions and drive the right kind of discussions.
1 DESIGN THINKING “Who are we doing this for and do we know what makes them tick?” Focusing your efforts on an actionable, testable view of the customer.Creating a robust interdisciplinary tool set you can use across product development and promotion (sales, marketing, etc.).
2 LEAN “How do we figure out if this is going to be a hit before we waste a lot of time and money?” Balancing the uncertainty of a new venture with the structure you need to stay focused on the right things. Avoiding waste. Learning quickly.
3 CUSTOMER DISCOVERY “How do we create an actionable understanding of our customer, one that we can use to build the right product and promote it efficiently?” Finding out what really makes your customer tick vs. ticking them off.
4 AGILE “Where’s everyone at and are we progressing to our objective?” Creating inputs to product development and promotion that link back to your work in design thinking and customer discovery.
In my experience, these tools will help you and your team steer away from distracting tangents and stay focused on what will really help your project succeed. Product and business education is realigning around new practices and ideas, the above being some of the most important. You can see this happening with the emergence of new terms like ‘growth hacker’ and the growth of interdisciplinary programs like a ‘design MBA’.
As far as an introduction to these topics, there are a lot of great resources online, but it’s a bit of a choose your own adventure situation at the moment. The last section here lists a few resources from this site.
If you don’t have a coding/’technical’ background, here are three foundation topics that will give you a useful starting point for engaging with ‘technical’ folks.
5 Model-View-Controller “What area of the development program is this, what’s important about it, and how does it fit in with everything else?” Decomposing the complexity of software development (into three different areas, anyway) and thinking about the kind of questions that might make sense.
6 App. & Platform Integration “What exactly are we building and how does it fit in with the rest of our ecosystem/operating environment?” Understanding the different chunks of your extended product and the general implications of different approaches to building your application.
7 Roles & Systems in a Technical Team “What’s the difference between a UI designer vs. developer vs. QA vs. sysadmin vs. devops?” Understanding what everyone does and the different types of talent you need to get where you want to be.
I would never discourage anyone from learning to code. Even a few hours invested in Codeacademy will earn you perspective and some useful skills. That said, even if you master the syntax and basic practicalities of a language like Ruby, there’s a lot of intangible learning and judgement that an experienced developer brings to their work.
That’s why it’s a good idea to balance an understanding of coding with a general perspective on what your project’s looking to accomplish, framed in a way that lends itself to constructive interdisciplinary discussions.

I've been looking to add more interiors inspo to my blog, so when Dandelion Interiors got in touch, I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to bring something new to my blog.
If you've been reading my blog over the past few months, you'll know that I've been looking to move into interior styling, and there's a whole new website that will be dedicated to that. In the meantime, I'll be adding a little of that content here.
I'm currently working on an interiors project at my Aunty Sonia's house. She's more or less given me free reign and it's been so exciting; I've been creating moodboards, adding inspiration to my Houzz profile and gathering paint samples to test out.
I've decided on the colour palette and now I'm looking at mirrors that fit within the budget. The colours that I've chosen are a little unusual - we're going for a burnt orange and teal. The scheme will be pulled together by ash, cool grey and white. So a mirror in one of those neutral colours would be perfect.
I'm looking for something quite modern, so I've skipped past the vintage styles. I love their full length options but this room doesn't really require that.
The copper in this industrial style mirror would tie in perfectly with the burnt orange elements of the room, which is the sofa and a couple of the accessories in the room. The room itself doesn't have an industrial vibe to it but a touch of it really works.
Now, I know I said I wasn't into the vintage feel but it's more the baroque style that I'm avoiding. The bird crest on this mirror is so interesting and would be striking against what will potentially be a teal wall.
Their range of overmantle mirrors is particularly useful, as that's where the mirror is going to be hanging. This style is frameless, which is great, as then I wouldn't have to worry about matching the colour to the rest of the room.
I keep being drawn back to these colours but they'd be such a good fit. I really hadn't considered a round mirror but it would be nice above the fireplace, where I'm thinking of putting the mirror.
The white chalk paint is what appealed to me the most here, as I've got a couple of pieces in the room which I'll be upcycling and this mirror would be an ideal accent colour.
This isn't even the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to what Dandelion Interiors has to offer. I've spent a long time on the site, just exploring and it's given me a few ideas for other rooms that I'll be working on.
Leave me a comment, if you've enjoyed this post, as I've got a couple more interiors-related posts in mind.

When our house was built I was able to customize my office/studio/creative space. I looked at lots of photos of craft room, storage types, desks, etc... to come up with I hoped would work for me. Since it is all built in, there is no changing it now. I knew I wanted a large desk area. In fact I have two, there is a small desk across the room.
My large desk 8 feet long and I love it. I put my computer at the end, over the printer, which is on a pull out shelf! This has been my set up for 4 years, barring minor changes. The computer area has always bothered me. I have to pull the computer down the desk so my feet will fit. That left a lot of wasted space between the computer and the book shelf.
I can't make notes while I am on my computer. All the desk space is on the left and I am right handed. I needed to do something.
Why it took 4 years for me to think of this I am not sure. But while looking at the above view last night, I realized I could put my computer in the corner. WOW!! Corners are always wasted space, with my computer on that end of the desk my external hard drives and USB hub could go in the corner. I have less wasted space now. I can easily turn and make notes if I need to. I have plenty of room for creating and crafting. I still need to swap the supplies in the cabinets and move my bulletin boards to the computer side, but that won't take long. I am already much happier with this set up.
Some close-ups of each end of the desk.
Now back to work and creating in my updated space. | 2019-04-21T09:09:51 | http://www.teachingunderthesun.com/2015/07/desk-update-it-was-time.html |

The Sain is a Hindu and Sikh caste or clan originating in India.They is also referred to as Sain-Thakur, Chaudhry, Sains and Nayee, etc.
The word Sain stems from the Sanskrit root Nay- which means to lead — stands for leadership. They are vedic kshatrias of the Chandravanshi lineage.
The Sain belong to a caste, variously called Sain, Mangali, Vostaad, Manthri, Nayee, or Valand.
The Sain were traditionally barbers but had other specialized roles. The earliest surgeons, like the ones tending to battlefield injuries, were barbers because of their expertise in handling the razor. They have also been associated with landowning. They were traditionally used as messengers and go-betweens in delicate matters. Sains acted as ambassadors between different states. They traditionally led wedding parties or carried messages between villages and communities. They are followers of Krishna and abide by the teachings of Bhagwad Gita, especially Samkhya yoga and Karma yoga. They are known for keeping the secrets, following a strictly disciplined life, and for keeping their body clean, active and physically fit.
They are also found in the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. The caste is referred to by different names in the different regions. In north India the caste is divided mainly into two endogamous sub castes: the Gole and Bhanberu. Kacchawayas (or chaddibechwas found in Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan), Bachhas (in Delhi and Haryana), Tanwars in Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, Ranas in Brijwasan, Gautam in Uttar Pradesh, Maansin Delhi, Haryana and Punjab, Dahiya & Mittalia in Haryana, Delhi, Chauhan in Haryana and Delhi, Dabas in Delhi, Dalals in Delhi and Haryana, Badgujar in Rajasthan, Sisodia in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, Gaur, Kaushik, Vats, Vashisth in Uttar Pradesh etc. Each of these divisions is subdivided into numerous gotras. There are Atry gotra.
In Bihar, the nayees have the surname of Thakur. In West Bengal, they mainly have Paramanik as surname.
In the state of Gujraat the Sains are referred by the name Valand. The Valand have several territorial divisions, such as the Soratia, Halai,Gohil, and Jalawadi. They are further divided into clans, called ataks, the main ones being the Vaghela, Parmar and Hanani. The Valand are endogamous and practice clan exogamy. They speak Gujarati and concentrated in the urban areas. The community is involved in the different trades, with many rural Valand have given up agriculture. Some were practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine.
In India occupation and profession is not restricted. Most members of the Sain community have adopted various professions in the public and private sectors, medical, bureaucracy, sports, engineering, police and defence services. | 2019-04-21T02:57:50 | https://bharatiyasainsamaj.com/about-us/ |

the logo The 10th International Conference of Interchurch Families was a wonderful time, of love and laughter, of sorrow and tears, as people from around the world gathered to tell and hear stories of God's work in our midst.
Keynote speakers from Canada, the United States, England, and the Vatican shared theological insights and personal experiences.
Together, we walked the path to Christian unity.
We hope that as you read through the presentations, and look at the pictures, you may gain some sense of the vibrancy and richness of faith present when people of different Christian traditions wholeheartedly recognize and celebrate the gift both spouses and traditions bring to the Body of Christ.
Embracing unity as a joyful action of the Spirit. | 2019-04-19T02:50:54 | http://www.interchurchfamilies.org/index.php/conferences/international/canada-2001/living-the-path-to-christian-unity.html |

Last year, the revolutionary Ovention Matchbox speed cooking oven was honored with a Kitchen Innovations 2013 Award presented by the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show. And THIS year, our new Shuttle oven has been named a 2014 honoree! Like the Matchbox, it cooks rapidly without texture-damaging microwaves. Instead, it uses an advanced Precision Impingement convection for remarkable cooking quality and menu flexibility, from pizza to paninis to grilled veggies. Its unique layout, with auto loading and unloading, means no overcooking, ever. Controls are programmable for 1,000 menu items. It's cool, quiet, enclosed and UL-ventless, so you can put it just about anywhere. And for rush periods, the Shuttle offers a conveyor mode. | 2019-04-18T15:28:54 | https://www.fermag.com/articles/5511 |
Some people turn their yard into native plantings, essentially reverting them to the prairie, meadow, or native woodland that they were before being settled. Which is great! But others value using their lawn as a playing field, picnic area or outdoor living room. This workshop is for those who aren’t ready to give up their turf but still want something...a little greener.
Installing Turf Alternatives - Your Guide to a Low Maintenance Lawn, covers the advantages of using perennial ground covers to minimize the need for irrigation and chemical inputs while maximizing ecological benefits. It also demonstrates handy how-to's for replacing traditional turf by installing and maintaining two popular types of turf alternatives: Low Maintenance Lawns and Bee Lawns, which support pollinators and clean water. | 2019-04-24T23:47:11 | http://www.mnwcd.org/events/2018/3/28/installing-turf-alternatives-workshop |
I am a child of a permanent resident and I got a I-130 approved 2003 but I was under the age and still single never been married when that was approved. Right now I posses an Employment Authorization that I have been re-applying for since 2000. Can I apply for a permanent resident?
I have a friend who got his green card recently. His sister in law was the one who applied for the green card which was filed on October 1997. His son was 14 at that time. By the time he got his green card, his son was 22, so the son didnt get the green card. Can my friend's son still get a green card under the Child Status Protection Act, or some other ruling?
My sister's F4 application was approved 1997 and she is due to go for her interview any day. My question is - I was recently made aware that although at the time the application was made and approved her 2 kids were under 21, but now 12yrs later they are both over 21. What is the next step to take. I was told she has to petition them once she is in US and the priority date will be from 1997. Is that true? How does that work?

Sure, you have a fancy iPhone X or Pixel 2 that can take amazing photographs and handle even the most graphics-heavy games. But does it have holograms?
AT&T and Verizon announced this week they will start selling a holographic smartphone later this year. The Red Hydrogen One smartphone is the first phone from video equipment company Red.
The Android phone’s killer feature is a “holographic display” that projects 3D images that can be viewed without special glasses. You will be able to view the images from the sides and behind, and interact with them using special hand gestures. It will also include cameras for capturing the custom 3D images.
Manufacturers continue to add new features — from waterproofing to animated poop emojis — to tempt people into upgrading their device. It’s unclear if a display that projects images into the air above the phone is just a flashy gimmick or if it will have some practical applications.
The phone will be available later this year, as early as the end of the summer, according to AT&T.Neither carrier announced a price for the phone, but during pre-orders, the price range from $1,295 for an aluminum model to $1,595 for a titanium-based option.
The device was originally expected to launch in early 2018, but that date has been pushed back. The company is planning a public demo of the deviceat an event in Los Angeles on May 18. | 2019-04-25T10:23:16 | http://www.westernrelease.com/tech/red-hydrogen-one-holographic-phone-coming-to-att-verizon |

Choir Geeks of the World Unite!
I would also love any critiques you would be willing to offer, because there are still a few chords and things here and there that I am unsure about. I know that this piece requires a big range from each vocal part, but I think it should be manageable (at least from a soprano's perspective) - so if you have any thoughts on that or anything else as well, I would love to hear them!
Anyway, I'm new at competitions, but I'd love to see some of your faces there! I want to try to bridge the gap between the choral community and everyone else on musescore!
I'm a 4th year high school, (Middle school here in the Philippines is only 4 years, after that, you go to college. but recently, Our department of education applied the same curriculum as the US'.) So there is still plenty of time for me to prepare.
I try to follow users that publish vocal music (arrangements and original compositions) here. Check out my profile, and you can see who I follow. Maybe you want to follow some of them as well.

"The whole thing came about with me telling Usher['s team] no," fashion designer Kerby Jean-Raymond told Mic in a phone interview. "But you can't really tell him no — he's really persistent, and he gets everyone to call you until you give in."
So on Independence Day, Usher took the stage at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, in front of thousands of people, wearing a t-shirt that crossed out the words "July Fourth" and instead read "Juneteenth," a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
The singer's shirt whipped up headlines and social media frenzy from followers of sites like Essence and The Fashion Bomb, as did a matching custom-designed leather jacket that read "Have we truly achieved our independence?" Both were designed by Jean-Raymond, founder of the New York-based menswear brand Pyer Moss.
The excitement around the politically charged clothes demonstrates how hungry shoppers are for these kinds of messages — but also the double bind that many black fashion designers find themselves in.
Eagerness for clothes that get political: Usher's bold-faced shirt wasn't Jean-Raymond's first time combining politics and clothing. In 2014, the Haitian-American designed a custom "They Have Names" shirt featuring the names of 11 unarmed black men killed by police officers in the years preceding. Stylist Shiona Turini borrowed the shirt, which Jean-Raymond had initially just made for himself, and wore it to New York Fashion Week, instantly spiking demand online.
"After that, my girlfriend strongly encouraged me to sell the shirt for charity," Jean-Raymond told Mic. So he partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union to sell a limited-edition run of the design, plus a new shirt featuring the names of 11 women of color killed by police. When the garments went live online, according to Jean-Raymond, the site crashed multiple times.
The limitations of being a "black designer": But afterward, Jean-Raymond pulled back from those sorts of statements. "You're not just a designer at that point, you become a 'black designer'; it becomes all about your race and less about your work, so I kind of wanted to stay away from it," he said.
Race has long played a part in the East Flatbush-bred designer's career. For the first year after founding Pyer Moss, he said, he purposefully designed anonymously, a tactic that was so successful that when Miss Jay of America's Next Top Model walked into one of the brand's presentations, he was surprised that Jean-Raymond was black.
"That's the reaction I wanted," said Jean-Raymond, who has also designed for high-end lines such as Marchesa. "I didn't want people to put me in an urban category or call my stuff streetwear just because of my race or my age. I didn't want to be put in a category I could never get out of."
Black designer-led brands still a rarity: Being pigeonholed is all the more likely when there are so few visible black designers at all. Earlier this year, the New York Times reported that only about 2.7% of designers at New York Fashion Week were African-American.
That tiny number isn't due to lack of interest. As a student of the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan, where Jean-Raymond enrolled at 14, the minority ratio was vastly different than what's represented in the industry. "It was probably like 30% black, 30% Latino, 30% Asian and 10% white," he said. "But a majority of the kids who went to school with me, they didn't stick with fashion."
Jean-Raymond said that's likely due to the financial barrier of entry into the business. Factory minimums and the need for investments can be insurmountable to minorities who don't come from means.
Then there is the uphill battle once within the industry. Of the small group of black designers today, the youngest are typically categorized as "urban" or "streetwear" designers, including brands like Hood by Air by Shayne Oliver and Public School by Maxwell Osborne and his business partner Dao-Yi Chow, as well as Off-White by Kanye West collaborator Virgil Abloh.
When asked whether what he does is streetwear, Oliver once told Fashionista, "I don't get what that means really. Like, what does 'street' mean? What people wear on the subway? What is that? I think it's a categorization that's just lazy."
Striking the balance of fashion and politics: For now, Jean-Raymond is embracing the political side of things. "There's no amount of dinners or partying that I can do that is going to make everybody in the fashion industry like and accept me," he said. "But what I have at the moment is everyone's attention, so while I have that, whether they like me or not, I'm going to make them think."
But he wields that attention carefully, knowing the box he and his business can be put in. The designer employs about 15 people between his design studio and his factory, many of whom are not black. "Many of them don't understand the social plight of the black American, and it would be unfair of me to jeopardize their jobs or longevity of the company because of my personal beliefs," he said. He does plan on designing more "provocative pieces" as one-offs, but they probably won't crop up in his runway shows, including the one this week at the inaugural New York Fashion Week: Men's.
"This is just the game that I have to play right now while the company is growing," Jean-Raymond said. "When we reach the point where the company is self-sustaining and people take the fashion seriously — because that's what we're doing at the end of the day, selling clothes, not politics — I won't have to limit myself in order to play into fashion and politics anymore."
Then he'll be free to design Juneteenth shirts for Usher, as well as high-end collections for the world's best runways — all without being limited by the "black designer" label. | 2019-04-21T10:09:05 | https://mic.com/articles/122304/usher-juneteenth-shirt-moment-reveals-reality-for-black-fashion-designers |

Looking for expert insights with a number of opinions in sports -- then visit The Athletes Village. Ask a question. See what others have said too.
In March, 2019, the top level was achieved! Gamification goodie worth a pat on the back or a cup icon.
As the coldest days arrived, so too came great news of a grant of more than $7K.
This award will support our efforts of "playing well with others" at community swim pools. SKWIM USA, a nonprofit that helps to promote swimming, fitness, sportsmanship and game-play get the funding to obtain equipment and host Aquatic Jamboree events this summer in Pittsburgh.
With the spending of other people's money come a big splash of responsibility. So, I'm interested in connecting now to prepare to engage with you, your families, your friends neighbors, organizations and even business contacts.
All ages and all swim abilities are welcome as we play SKWIM at Aquatic Jamborees, but we need to rally more political will to participate and venture out of our comfort zones -- for the sake of fun and fitness.
Can we get your team down to the Northside or Hill District to compete? Or, can we bring our game and perhaps a squad to your summer pool?

Teens are better learners than adults because their brain cells more readily “build” memories. But this heightened adaptability can be hijacked by addiction, and the adolescent brain can become addicted more strongly and for a longer duration than the adult brain.Studies show that girls’ brains are a full two years more mature than boys’ brains in the mid-teens, possibly explaining differences seen in the classroom and in social behavior.Adolescents may not be as resilient to the effects of drugs as we thought. Recent experimental and human studies show that the occasional use of marijuana, for instance, can cause lingering memory problems even days after smoking, and that long-term use of pot impacts later adulthood IQ.Multi-tasking causes divided attention and has been shown to reduce learning ability in the teenage brain. Multi-tasking also has some addictive qualities, which may result in habitual short attention in teenagers.Emotionally stressful situations may impact the adolescent more than it would affect the adult: stress can have permanent effects on mental health and can to lead to higher risk of developing neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression.
Dr. Jensen gathers what we’ve discovered about adolescent brain function, wiring, and capacity and explains the science in the contexts of everyday learning and multitasking, stress and memory, sleep, addiction, and decision-making. In this groundbreaking yet accessible book, these findings also yield practical suggestions that will help adults and teenagers negotiate the mysterious world of adolescent development. | 2019-04-18T21:02:43 | https://psikologx.com/the-teenage-brain/ |
