If you're into mosaic art then the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis is the place for you. Containing more mosaic art in one place than any other single location in the world, the designs here were installed by a family of artists and contain more than 41 million tiles!
The symbol of St. Louis is a must-see for any tourist by car rental from St. Louis Airport. Symbolizing a gateway to The West, the arch accessorizes the city skyline from its stance in Jefferson Expansion National Memorial Park. The elevator up to the top provides the most excellent view over St. Louis, and the little history museum under the arch is worth checking out to learn about its design and construction.
Laclede's Landing is the St. Louis equivalent of an old town, but also where old meets new. Take your group by car rental to shop and dine on cobblestone streets, visit the wax museum, and then head to the newly constructed casino complex, Lumiere Place. Not just gaming, the casino is 24 vertical floors of entertainment!
Just across the river in Illinois you can visit the Cahokia Mounds by St. Louis car rental. This UNESCO World Heritage site happens to be the largest pre-Columbian city found north of Mexico.
After your trip to see the pre-Columbian mounds, take a wine tour or go antique shopping in by St. Louis car rental in Alton. Alton has several great wineries, 50 antique shops, plus plenty of fine dining and even a few golf courses to sweeten the deal.
Located at Camp Dubois, where the Missouri River converges to the Mississippi River, is the site from where the famed explorers set out to begin their journey to the Pacific. The Lewis and Clark State Memorial Park is a great day trip from St. Louis by car hire for hiking on short trails, camping, or a family picnic. | 2019-04-22T14:58:13 | https://carhirex.com/airport-car-hire/st-louis-airport-car-hire |
[CA Dept. of Toxic Substances Control, 2013] One of the nation's largest perchlorate cleanups is using a green approach to restore a large swath of property in Southern California.
From 1934 to 1987, the Whittaker-Bermite Corporation manufactured, stored and tested explosives on 996 acres now considered to be prime real estate in the city of Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles. The explosives included ammunition rounds, flares, detonators, signal cartridges and pyrophoric pellets (fragments that spark spontaneously) and ignitors.
Perchlorate, one of the primary ingredients in explosives, contaminated the soil and the local water supply wells. The chemical affects the ability of the thyroid gland to take up iodine which is needed to make hormones that regulate many body functions after they are released into the blood. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds and depleted uranium were also found on the property.
Working with the responsible party, Whittaker Corp. the DTSC project manager approved a cleanup approach that encouraged the growth of perchlorate-eating bacteria. Mixing the soil with acetic acid, which is essentially vinegar and water, the soil was placed in large bags that were sealed to keep out oxygen. The soil was amended with other nutrients, along with the acetic acid prior to placing it in the bags. After proving it to be a viable treatment method, the process was refined and made more efficient by placing the amended soil in treatment cells rather than bags. As the bacteria grew it needed energy, energy it received by breaking down the perchlorate. The process destroyed the perchlorate without leaving any toxic or harmful by-products. Each batch of soil took four to six weeks to process from excavation to destruction of the perchlorate. With the new technology in place all that was left in the soil after the perchlorate treatment was chloride, which is an innocuous naturally occurring compound. By utilizing this method of cleanup, there was no need to transport soil to an off-site landfill.
The treatment method is not new to DTSC, said Project Manager Jose Diaz, but hadn't been used on a project with this amount of contaminated soil. The cleanup is considered one of the biggest perchlorate cleanups in the nation with about 394,000 cubic yards of soil on 226 acres. Accelerating the cleanup will allow the city to redevelop the property sooner.
Background: The Bermite Powder Co., and Halafax Explosives Co. before it, manufactured explosives, flares and small munitions in Saugus, on a roughly 1,000-acre parcel just southeast of Bouquet Junction, from 1935 to 1987. | 2019-04-22T10:14:55 | https://scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lw2336.htm |
Rainbow Mountain, just west of Whistler, is an excellent year round destination. Access is usually up 21 Mile Creek on a good trail that starts on Alta Lake Road and goes past Rainbow Lake.
The peak is best reached from the west, in winter or in summer. There are a variety of routes from this side, but all are easy scrambles. There's no real trail though, so you are on your own for routefinding once past Rainbow Lake. The climb to the summit is a long day trip in spring or summer, but usually takes 2 days mid winter.
21 Mile Creek is the drinking water supply for Whistler. Camping in the watershed is not permitted, although it is usually tolerated in the winter when fewer people visit the area. Good spots for summer camping are at Hanging Lake (official campground) or at Beverly Lake further north.
Rainbow Mountain can also be accessed from the Whistler Olympic Park in the Callaghan Valley via Hanging Lake - see the route description for Gin Peak. The final section between Rainbow Lake and the summit is the same for both start points.
The trailhead is located at the Whistler Cemetary on Alta Lake road in Whistler. If driving from Vancouver, the turnoff for Alta lake road is north of Function Junction and South of Whistler Creek on the left (west) side of the highway. Follow Alta Lake road for 6 km to a turnoff on the left for the Whistler cemetary. In winter, it's generally easiest to park at the cemetary and ski up the gated road rather than up the lowest part of the hiking trail. The hiking trail parking is about 200m further north on Alta Lake road. The road and trail join back together near the municipal water supply buildings, about 1km up.
Start skiing up the road from the cemetary to a couple of buildings by a map kiosk. Keep left here, following the directions for the Rainbow Madely Trail. There are two roads heading up 21 mile creek from this point; you want to be on the higher road. The road climbs steadily to about 1000m and then levels off. Past an outhouse the trail leaves the road on the left - this junction is easy to miss, especially in winter. The trail climbs gently back and forth through a logged area with lots of slide alder, soon reaching old growth forest. Once in the big trees, the trail is much easier to follow in winter.
At Xkm is a small clearing on the trail. This is the turn off for Mount Sproatt. To continue to Rainbow Lake, keep following the trail to a big log bridge and up a hill beyond. Eventually the trail reaches open meadows just before Gin and Tonic Creek. The markers become more difficult to follow, but the general route up the 21 mile creek valley is generally obvious. The deck of the bridge over Gin and Tonic creek is removed in the winter, so you will need to drop into the canyon, cross on a snow bridge and climb out the other side. This is generally done about 50-100m downstream from the suspension bridge. Beyond Gin and Tonic Creek, open meadows lead up to Rainbow Lake. The final climb to the lake is usually done in the forest on the north side of 21 mile creek.
Ascend Rainbow Mountain from the west to the small icefield south of the summit. The summit itself is guarded by cliffs, so cross a col east of the summit to the north glacier and approach the summit from there.
Avalanche slopes on the west side of Rainbow Moutain. The CAC ATES rating for this trip is Challenging.

Taxonomy is the science (or some would say art) of classification. It comes from the Greek words 'taxis' and 'nomos' meaning respectively arrangement and law. One of the most famous taxonomies is that devised by the Swedish scientist, Carl Linnaeus.
Even though the word taxonomy is derived from the Greek the actual labelled divisions that identify one particular species are in Latin e.g. Pipistrellus pipistrellus, which is the Common Pipistrelle bat. As you will notice the name is italicised with the first half (the genus) having a capital letter whereas the second part of the name (the trivium) always begins with a lowercase letter. The following table shows the taxonomic description of the Common Pipistrelle. | 2019-04-25T20:37:33 | http://www.warksbats.co.uk/aboutbats/taxonomy.aspx |
When I first read Sufis of Andalusia as a teenager, I knew that I had met a visionary far beyond the limits of anyone I had read or heard about. Ibn al-ʿArabī, I know now, was in the ocean without shore, but he was there as someone who, like the prophets and messengers and friends (awliyāʾ), stayed near the shore: the ones who go deep and drown, he says, benefit neither themselves or others.
Addressing the Bay Area fellow journeyers at an Ibn al-ʿArabī workshop last Fall, I met with students and lovers who had studied him four decades ago. They recalled that in the 70’s they had always heard that the Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah will not be translated in their lifetimes. The obstacles were and are the sheer size, at 10,000 pages, the language (purely classical, with semantic fields far from modern Arabic convention), and the context, with highly intricate and interlaced references to Qurʾān and ḥadīth.
This translator has passed the 5,000 page mark, with preprints of the first 18 books available online. A material but nevertheless crucial element has been financial support allowing the translator to work independently all day, every day on the work. Today’s university environment is not conducive to translations of massive classical Arabic works! Second, the translator has read the 10,000 page work from beginning to end many times. Ibn al-ʿArabī writes in media res, and it’s no coincidence that the dream and the Futūḥāt share the same format. The Futūḥāt may only be understood by understanding the whole – and then only after “waking up.” Third, the language he uses is completely Qurʾānic and ʿarabī, not Arabic. That is why it is essential to study in parallel the Lisān al-ʿarab, the Tāj, the ʿAyn. Lane’s work in the late 19th century is an inspirational opus translating the classical lexigraphic sources into English.
The work I am doing has evolved over the last five years of intense translation into a translation-commentary, somewhat like the classical sharḥ. I have completely abandoned end- and footnotes in favor of side notes for Qurʾānic references and manuscript page numbers, with every word, phrase, or sentence that aids the reader coming into the text in another font (with 60% transparency). This allows the reader to read the text and then skim or omit, or stop and study, the commentary. Classical works would often have sharḥ notes surrounding the text. With the ease of typesetting now, these notes can be integrated into the text.
Ibn al-ʿArabī rewrote and expanded the Futūḥāt over three years at the end of his life. He would visit a house and have a small entourage, and he would dictate to them the text, often writing it with his own hand. We have in the manuscripts extensive end notes telling us who was present, whose house it was, and intriguing glimpses into the process – in one note he writes, I give ijāzah to the daughter of the house for the text and the teaching of this.
By abandoning academic conventions, I have been able to make the text speak more directly. I’m not telling you “what he’s saying” and I’m not “situating” the work next to philosophical texts or ideas. Instead I am letting Ibn al-ʿArabī explain himself. The vindication for this approach comes from letters from Australia, Italy, Spain, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Canada, the U.S., Morocco, and Jordan, and elsewhere, in which readers tell me what they have heard and learned. Each reader is dramatically different in what she or he finds, and each one has a personal journey. If I were to contextualize the work, the reader would be limited to my highly limited understandings.
Classical religious discourses are colored by the authors’ language and concepts and customs, and these colors support an appreciation of what is the same and what is different. Academic and other approaches try to strip these authors of their pre-modern world, a world where prophets are mentioned along with their honorifics, where God is cited (and not “the Qurʾān says”), and where the stories and parables and sayings that richly color the tradition are interwoven in the text. As anyone who knows multiple languages can tell you, each language feels different, each language gives a special flavor. To reduce it to some mechanical “bottom-line” idiom is a disservice.
Part of this translator’s effort to aid the reader is to fill out the imagery of the Futūḥāt which would have been largely implicit with his first audiences. The ʿarabī language has semantic fields, and each word is examined in a lexicon by looking at its grammatical modulations, its usage in different forms (verb, adjective, noun), and its concept, often a short-hand: that is, if you see “yawm” or “qiyāmah,” you should know that it is the Day of Arising for Judgment that is being referenced. This is quite different from a dictionary which seeks to go from one word into another. Classical Arabic has a limited vocabulary when compared to English, for example, which is actually five or six languages (e.g, French, German, Latin, Greek). What this means is that the English speaker uses a highly nuanced language – a man sweats and a woman perspires. To write “She started sweating” puts a huge amount of imagery into the English reader’s imagination. Classical Arabic has the same situation, but using a much smaller number of words. The English translator doesn’t go “word to word” – that is a gross misunderstanding of the Arabic writer. Ibn al-ʿArabī uses the word ḥukm, for example, and sometimes it is property, sometimes law, sometimes command, sometimes determinative ruling. It may also go back to the imagery of the ḥakamah, which is the curb for a horse, reins that prevent – and therefore wisely (as in ḥikmah) guides the soul. Ibn al-ʿArabī’s audience is hearing all of this: the translator must hear it too and find a way to say all that in English. | 2019-04-20T09:06:07 | https://armoniajournal.com/2017/03/07/the-openings-project-the-first-complete-translation-of-the-futu%E1%B8%A5at-al-makkiyah-of-ibn-al-%CA%BFarabi/ |
Apostle Sarah L White was called to the Lord 17 years ago. She was the first born of 5 daughters to her parents. Born and raised in Alexander City, Alabama. She is the mother of 3 daughters, 1 son, 14 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.
Before coming to Kansas City Missouri in 1999, Apostle White served under the leadership of Bishop Eddie Edwards and Pastor Cynthia Edwards of the Greater Works Ministry of Alexander City, Alabama. She served at New Covenant Life for a season. Then God compelled her to start a prayer group, and a thirst for more grew, which led to a weekly bible study, and soon after God birthed Life Abundant Ministries.
The most important thing to Apostle White is her personal & intimate relationship with the Lord. This is what she cherishes and loves the most....He's my "Big Daddy!" Her style of preaching is based on the truth of God's Word; it is uncommon, radical and transparent. Her desire is to build-up the men and women and to help them establish God's plan, purpose and will for their life. Some of her famous sayings are, "Open you mouth as a trumpet “Speak out for your break through", "Pop it! Pop it! Pop it!...like popcorn (Asking God to break the force of the enemy over God's people)", "Ride it out! (Ride the storms of your life out)", "He's my Big Daddy...my Rootie Poo Poo!".
She loves being a servant to God's people. Loving and serving them in every aspect of the bible. Helping them learn to live the will of Jesus for their life, in the fullness thereof. She is obedient to God's will and his purpose and plan for her to be a shepherd, to feed his people the truth of his Word. Because he said I come to give life and life more abundantly (John 10). She believes in Life, in Jesus, in living the fullness of His glory and power. That’s where the name of the ministry derived from...Life Abundant Ministries. | 2019-04-23T00:25:37 | http://www.awomanofworth.org/Sarah-White-Bio.html |

My appreciation of painting has developed through study, meditation and time in nature. Traveling frequently, observing light, color and form in the landscape, I continue to explore the human spirit and the power of contemplation. My passion is the discovery of connection to subject and the process in which the painting evolves. Each painting is an act of reverence, using aesthetics to translate the spirit of the subject.
My background is diverse and includes painting, acting, writing and producing in theater, film and the visual arts well as spiritual studies and practices. I have developed and directed several organizations including an off off Broadway Theatre, an Independent Film Company, and an Arts and Cultural Organization.

11.2017 After Maria, we visited one of our residents to bring him new clean sheets and to check on him after the storm.
COREFI helped this man, who is blind, by building him a bathroom so that he could live in sanitary conditions.
At our visit, he showed us that the steel room of his bathroom was damaged in the storm. With the help of your COREFI donations and volunteers, we will be back to fix it.
Ana Sonia Ventura and Sarah Patterson visited a 96 year-old Viequense woman on the North side of the island in November 2017.
Previously COREFI contributed a positionable hospital bed, a commode, and new bedclothes to this resident.
"COREFI essentially loans medical equipment to our clients until it is no longer needed," says Sonia. "Then we clean and recycle the items and give it to the next family with a need. We are very happy to take people's wheelchairs or appliances, and connect them with a new home. Many of our clients need refrigerators for medication, we make use of everything we can. "
Contact us if you have equipment to donate. | 2019-04-24T06:54:12 | https://www.corefi.org/success-stories |

Old news I know, but tossing in for posterity’s sake as this becomes a more frequent occurence.
The internet company Yahoo confirmed over the weekend that it did pass on information to Chinese authorities that prompted the arrest and conviction of a Chinese journalist.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important in the construction sector. Interoperability, flexibility, and automation are essential requirements for smart buildings, whatever the building’s intended purpose. Construction always requires looking ahead, often anticipating a 50-year life. Therefore, remaining flexible and able to react to major future trends and new building uses is paramount in choosing building technologies.
Flexibility is the greatest potential factor that investors can tap into for commercial buildings. The days when a finished building served only one customer and one purpose are long gone. Particularly in large cities, builders must be able to remodel commercial buildings as quickly as possible.
Although rapid remodeling is not new, it comes with a number of problems, especially in terms of cabling. Ceiling wiring and floor tracks for electricity, networks, and lights may enable investors and planners to change walls dynamically. However, once classic room thermostats, doorbells, switches, or sensors are added and wired in, changing the layout becomes difficult and expensive.
A new generation of building-automation solutions based on self-powered wireless switches and sensors is the answer-retaining flexibility and adaptability and allowing the needs of a succession of occupiers to be addressed fully at minimal expense. They rely on modern wireless protocols for communication and, more important, generate the necessary electricity themselves, which means they are not dependent on batteries. As a result, they give investors unprecedented flexibility in outfitting new or existing buildings. Spaces for which the purpose or use is not yet known can be placed into service with one- or two-room thermostats, relays and switches for lighting and shading controls without having to lay any new cables. A tenant can add to these systems easily, at will and integrate them into the overall building control technology.
Self-powered wireless technology is practical. It also permits entirely new smart scenarios. For example, it is possible to mount light switches directly on workstations or place a master "all off" switch right at the entrance. In addition, the economical sensors enable the room climate to be precisely monitored. All end points can transmit their data to a central system, which evaluates the information and makes decisions according to the rules that minimize energy and optimize occupants’ comfort. The system is not limited to temperature. With the right sensors air quality, energy consumption values, or usage frequency can also be detected by the minute and made available to the building owner, operator or tenant.
The best part is that the data itself is not tied to a specific purpose. Tenants or the operator can use the information for their own analyses. Investors can track the performance of their property over time. It is even possible to evaluate the data again at a later point, for example, when technologies such as IoT make it possible to develop new business models.
Studies have shown that decoupling the inner walls and electrical system alone saves up to 3 months of time during a renovation. This means 3 months of more income or 3 fewer months of limitations inherent to older wired solutions. Thermostats, sensors, and other end points can be removed and relocated, and larger systems installed in ceilings can be easily repurposed numerous times. The actual intelligence lies in the building control system and, once installed, needs to be changed only when maintenance or an upgrade is needed. Tenants can change floor plans in the system with a minimum amount of effort, and the building systems are adapted accordingly.

The STREAMLINE was conceived to improve and extend the Apache Flink platform to handle both batch and streaming data in a uniform way. The best way to achieve impact with our research is to reach out to the Apache Flink community and support its growth. Therefore, STREAMLINE has selected Flink Forward as its vehicle for dissemination and outreach. As the community around Apache Flink has grown exponentially, this has proved to be a good decision for the project. We have been able to reach over 2000 people directly and many more that have watched the presentations afterwards. One of the main goals for the STREAMLINE project has been to increase the competence and supply of data scientist in Europe. The increasingly large number of people attending the FlinkForward conferences is a testament to the success in reaching this goal.

Russo Brothers to adapt TV series based on The Warriors.
Two things that I love – The Russo Brothers and one of my favorite films of all time, The Warriors. Fresh off of Captain America: Civil War, The Russos look to be eyeing a project that will be a TV series based off of the 1970s cult classic The Warriors. The series is looked to be a one hour drama done by Paramount and Hulu. Not sure if it will be the same elements of the movie or even if the Russo’s will be directing the pilot. Crazy how Sony just re-released the PS2 game on The Warriors for PS4 users. Stay tuned for more details!

For more info, take a look at this Spitting in the Soup Chapter Summary.
What will it take to kick doping out of sports forever?
But this tidy view swindles sports fans. While we may want the world sorted into villains and victims, putting the blame on athletes alone ignores decades of history in which teams, coaches, governments, the media, scientists, sponsors, sports federations, and even spectators have played a role. The truth about doping in sports is messy and shocking because it holds a mirror to our own reluctance to spit in the soup—that is, to tell the truth about the spectacle we crave.

When it comes to travelling or exploring a culture, what are you most interested in learning about? For me, it’s always the food. No matter where you go in the world, one of the most important aspects of any culture is food. That’s what I want to experience!
One of my favourite things about living in Toronto is that it’s one of the most diverse cities in the world. Toronto’s diversity is the reason we have an epic food scene. No matter what type of food you’re craving, there’s countless restaurants in and around the city serving up authentic eats.
Of course, even though I love to experience the foods from other cultures, some of my favourite foods come from my own culture. Then again, I’m sure most of us feel that way. Something that you may not know about me, is that I’m Jewish. I’m in no way, shape or form religious, which is why I don’t talk about religion on the blog. Since my family has been in Canada for many generations, “being Jewish” is essentially my cultural background. I know I’m biased, but in my opinion, Jewish food is delicious!
You might be wondering, what is Jewish food exactly? As you can imagine, it’s tough to define because Judaism is a religion and not a country. There are Jewish people all over the world, so there are some major differences in food preferences, depending on who you ask.
Nonetheless, there are certain foods that are associated with the Jewish community in North America. Some of my favourite foods are bagels and lox, matzo ball soup, corned beef sandwiches (actually, deli food in general), and rugelach. Did that last one throw you off? Well, the odds are, if you haven’t been to a Jewish bakery, you’ve probably never had rugelach before. Trust me, you don’t know what you’re missing!
Essentially, ‘rugelach’ are small crescent-shaped, rolled cookies. Traditionally, they are made by rolling a triangular piece of dough around a filling of some sort. The filling is usually some combination of jam, chocolate, cinnamon, or nuts. The dough is made with cream cheese and butter and it’s deliciously flakey.
I recently had the opportunity to partner with the iconic Canadian food brand, E.D.SMITH on a fun campaign. E.D.SMITH’s roots date back to 1882 and their jams and pie fillings have been a staple in the kitchens of Canadian bakers ever since. This year, the E.D.SMITH brand is turning 135 years old. To celebrate 135 years (and counting), they challenged me to choose one of my favourite traditional recipes and give it a modern twist. As you can imagine, rugelach are pretty “old school.” I’ve never seen them made with any unique flavour combinations or modern twists…until now.
Lately, I’ve been loving the ‘unicorn foods’ trend. Unicorn food is magical, whimsical, over-the-top, fun, and of course, very Instagram-able. Everyone loves to take photos of their outrageous unicorn milkshakes, bagels, cakes, macarons and more. In fact, I’m pretty sure the trend only exists because of Instagram!
I can tell you that traditional rugelach are delicious, but they definitely aren’t pretty! If you’re looking for delicious and pretty, I hope you give my unicorn rugelach recipe a try.
Preheat your oven to 375. Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with tinfoil and a generous spritz of cooking spray.
Prepare your pastry by adding all of the ingredients into a food processor. Process all of the ingredients until a ball of dough forms around the blade. This should take about 18-20 seconds. It’s not necessary to chill the dough, so divide it into 2 balls and set them aside.
Wipe down your food processor. Add the walnuts, sugar and cinnamon into the food processor and blend until the nuts are fairly fine. This should take about 12-15 seconds.
On a well-floured surface, roll one of the balls of pastry into a 1/16” circle. Spread half of the jam over the pastry, leaving half an inch from the edges. Sprinkle half the nut mixture on top of the jam.
With a sharp knife, slice the dough into 12 triangles.
Starting from the outside edge, roll each piece of dough towards the centre. Each piece should resemble a small crescent shape. Place each one onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the rugelach are lightly browned.
Let the rugelach cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Place some tin foil (or waxed paper) underneath the cooling rack that the rugelach are sitting on. This will be to catch any mess from the unicorn decoration process.
Melt the white chocolate and set up the sprinkles next to the cooling rack.
Take a cooled rugelach cookie and dip it into the white chocolate, allowing some of the excess to drip off. While the chocolate is still warm, add some sprinkles. Repeat with all of the rugelach.
To finish, drizzle the top of each cookie with some pink decoration gel.
Thank you to E.D.SMITH for partnering with me on this post.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for coming back again. I’m SO glad to hear you picked up that Maybelline Matte lipstick. Are you enjoying it? | 2019-04-23T10:01:22 | http://somethingaboutthat.com/instagram-worthy-unicorn-rugelach-recipe/ |

A new take on the humble insulated cup comes from an industrial designer tired of seeing people slurp out of canteens.
The Pint is a growler-shaped canteen that stores hot or cold liquids. But twist off the bottom and it converts to an oversize wine-glass shaped drinking vessel in just a few motions.
“I got tired of seeing people drinking coffee from their canteens,” inventor Matty Martin said. A Kickstarter campaign has launched to bring it to market.
We haven’t tested it yet, but it appears that you can convert it without pouring out the beverage it carries. Thus, you could transport your coffee, then flip it over and open the Pint into a cup to savor the drink.
A camper and outdoors enthusiast, Martin worked for three years with Google X. He was a designer working on Project Glass, helping shape the product and its accessories.
The 16-ounce Pint has double-wall stainless steel sides for insulation. It can store coffee or beer, or anything hot or cold, and it is made to regulate liquid temperature for hours.
The plastic parts are BPA-free, and the caps remove for cleaning “because everyone eventually puts coffee inside their bottle and has a hard time cleaning it,” Martin said.
It comes with two finishes, a black carbon and a textured “granite” look.
Despite his roots in the tech world, Martin said he kept an open mind when switching to outdoors gear.
The Pint is Martin’s first product made for the outdoors. It launches on Kickstarter on October 20th. For now, take a look at his site and a preview of this new kind of camping bottle at stablegoods.co. | 2019-04-22T04:01:59 | https://gearjunkie.com/the-pint-camping-cup |

Natural dried gobi tail bleached wood. Sizes vary from approximately 3.5 to 5" in length, with 1/2 to 1" in diameter. This item will be drilled in the center with a 11/64" hole if the drilling option is selected. | 2019-04-21T08:39:44 | https://makeyourownbirdtoys.com/Gobi-Tail_p_406.html |
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entrée, split a dish with a friend, and don’t order supersized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic terms, and start small. Visual cues can help with portion sizes—your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards. A teaspoon of oil or salad dressing is about the size of a matchbook and your slice of bread should be the size of a CD case. | 2019-04-23T12:09:35 | https://www.svelte30.com/137/healthy-eating-tips/ |
Bertil Roos Racing School is the nation's leader when it comes to European-style road racing and students have plenty of opportunities over the next couple of months to learn this highly intricate form of racing.
The school has been training students for over four decades and it uses Formula cars to teach the arts of performance driving and racing. Bertil Roos Racing School President Dennis Macchio explained that every technique important to racing and driving are more effectively taught in an f-car.
"Visual training, what we refer to as ocular driving techniques are best taught in the cockpit of a car that has no A pillars, no windshield, no rearview mirror, and no forward blind spot," Macchio said. "Car control, line correction and important advanced skills are much easier to learn in nimble, lightweight, Formula cars."
The school will be available at different tracks over the next couple of months, starting with a three-day school on April 9-11 at Pocono Raceway, followed by a two-day advanced school on April 12-13.
Those interested can enroll in a five-day road racing school with no prior experience required. Upon completion, you will have fulfilled all the requirements of a SCCA competition license and are eligible to enter the Roos Formula 2000 Racing Series.
The three-day school is the cornerstone of the racing programs with intensive training on how to drive a race car to its limits.
Day one starts with a brief introduction in the classroom, followed immediately by a track session in one of BRRS' patented slide cars. More classroom, on-track practice with street cars and discussion leads to two on-track sessions.
Day two begins with another classroom session, followed by another session in the slide cars or street cars. Drivers get an abundant amount of seat time, perfecting skills required to advance to day three.
Day three is when the new skills are put to the test to squeeze every last tenth of a second out. A slide-car session is combined with five track sessions in the race cars. You learn techniques like Ocular Driving, Rotational Turn-In, Line Recovery, Slide Control and Heel and Toe which sets Bertil Roos Racing School apart from other schools.
The two-day advanced school is for those looking for more advanced instruction. The techniques learned at the Bertil Roos Racing School help drivers in all forms of racing.
Jarett Andretti, son of former NASCAR and IndyCar star John Andretti, provides an example. Carrying on the Andretti family tradition of versatility behind the wheel, Jarett is competing in both sprint cars and sports cars this season.
"The first road racing experience I had after go-karts was the 5-Day Bertil Roos Racing School in March 2011 at Virginia International Raceway," Andretti said. "After graduating from Roos, I went back to my normal racing schedule, USAC Midgets. We won the Eastern Pavement championship in 2011 and competed in the 50th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2012. Now, that I'm competing in the Pirelli World Challenge in addition to my sprint car schedule, I will be leaning on my Roos experience now more than ever."
You don't have to be an Andretti to experience what it's like to be behind the wheel at a Bertil Roos Racing School. The following dates are available, including a visit to the historic Lime Rock Park.

In 2015, the Library of Congress officially approved a new Tibetan Romanization Table, which accords with the Wylie system instead of using diacritics for Tibetan letters. OCLC WorldCat quickly upgrade dmore than 22,000 bibliographic records, but each university needs to upgrade its local database separately.
In August 2016, the Columbia University Libraries catalog was updated to reflect the new Wylie-compatible romanization system. Readers may now search for Tibetan titles in CLIO using Wylie transliteration.
Try a Wylie Search in CLIO or WorldCat now.
This means that instead of using diacritics, you can search the following letters using Wylie romanization.
In May 2015, the Library of Congress revised its Tibetan romanization chart to accord with the Wylie transliteration system.
In August 2016, Columbia University Libraries converted the legacy records in its local catalog. If other schools also wish to upgrade their local database and are interested in the specifications and procedures used at Columbia, please contact the Tibetan Studies Librarian, Lauran Hartley ([email protected]).
While titles for some legacy records for Tibetan-language materials (especially early publications from India) necessarily retain the previous romanization (which uses diacritics), these records can still be retrieved with a Wylie search. However, many authorized forms of authors and subject-headings still use the previous romanization. These will change after the Library of Congress updates its authority file. All new bibliographic and authority records are being added in Wylie.
In summary, a search in Wylie will retrieve all or the large majority of due results. However, to be absolutely sure, you may also wish to perform a second search using the old romanization. For this, you simply drop the “g” , the “y” , the “s” and the “h” from these four letter combinations: nga (search na); nya (search na); zha (search za); and sha (search sa). Again, this is only if you wish to do a second search, to be sure that your results are exhaustive.
Many popular books and internet sites use non-standard forms of spelling which are based on how Tibetan words sound when pronounced, leaving out the many silent letters.
Although several punctuation marks are used by the Library of Congress system to differentiate sounds, when typing search terms in CLIO, there is no need for diacritic marks or punctuation.
While modern-format books are intershelved by call number in the general stacks of the C. V. Starr East Asian Library, the traditional Tibetan texts (dpe-cha) are shelved in Room 106 (on the 100-level) in the newly designed TIBETAN PECHA COLLECTION area of the Starr Library. Due to space restrictions, about 40% of both modern and traditional-format titles are stored offsite at RECAP, but can be requested for pick-up (with 48 hours advance notice). While the majority of pecha have been bound for circulation purposes, a small percentage remain unbound. For the latter, please first consult the Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center database for an electronic copy, or you may request from offsite for reading in the Kress Room at Starr.
Since January 2008, acquisitions ordering for Tibetan titles is done online. Thus, researchers can immediately know when a title has been selected, and estimate when it might arrive. In addition, preliminary records are now entered for materials received, but for which no full record is available.
Please see CLIO records for location or status details, or contact the Tibetan Studies librarian if you have any question.
Rare titles are housed at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library (Butler Library, 6th floor), or in the Kress Rare Book and Special Collections Reading Room at the Starr Library. Columbia owns some very valuable Tibetan religious works, including early Bon texts as well as a nearly complete Snar-thang edition of the Buddhist canon, published between 1730 and 1732, as well as modern Tibetan historical documents.
Serials: Unbound recent issues are displayed in Starr East Asian's main reading room; bound issues of previous two years are shelved in Starr's regular stacks; earlier issues are bound and stored off-site. Available for two-week loan.
Newspapers: Current issues for some 30-40 regularly subscribed titles are available in the periodicals alcove of the C. V. Starr East Asian Library's main reading room.
Works in Chinese or Japanese are located in the C. V. Starr East Asian Library or offsite.
Most Sanskrit, English, French, and German scholarship on Tibetan subjects is housed either in Starr, Butler, or offsite, except for items purchased specially by Barnard College or the Avery Art & Architecture Library.
Dictionaries and other critical reference materials are shelved in the main reading room, and located by call number. Some duplicate reference materials are also available for use with the Tibetan Pecha Collection on the 100-level.
If you need help locating materials in the C.V. Starr East Asian Library or elsewhere on campus, please contact the Tibetan Studies Librarian, Lauran Hartley ([email protected]; 212-854-9875). | 2019-04-20T23:21:37 | https://library.columbia.edu/locations/eastasian/tibetan/locating_materials.html |

Headache is the first released track of a couple of songs Bart records at the White Noise Studio.
Bart Hackler asked me to record Headache, for which he planned to sing and to play guitar and bass.
He asked a few guest musicians to play on the track for additional guitar, keyboard / synths and drums.
On guitar Erwin van Oostenbrugge and on keyboard Rick Linzel.
Drums: I performed the session on a few the studio’s drums. The bass drum was the Pearl CZX 24″ kick, the toms were the 12″ and 15 inch Pearl Masterworks to,s. The recorded snare was a 14 X 5,5 inch Mapex Black Panther Brass master snare.
The cymbals were the studio’s Zildjian A-customs for ride and crashes and the old 14″ Tosco hihats.
I played the drums on this track. Bart asked me pretty much last minute, so this meant my preparations for the track were minimal.
Bart named Foo Fighters as an inspiration for the track and I felt something in the vein of Dave Grohl drum wise would fit.
Bart explained where he wanted drums in the song and with which kind of energy they should be performed. The track features accents on the off beat and on the 4-and which I decided to emphasize with the bass drum. The snare is kept pretty much on the backbeat. In the few verses with drums you can hear the bass drum really follow the accents. In the choruses, played on ride cymbal, the accents were accentuated with the ride bell on 2-and and 3-and, just before the backbeat. Guitarist Erwin suggested a feel for the part under the guitar solo for him to play over.
After a few playtroughs we kept the best drum parts and fixed some beats where needed before proceeding to record the guitars.
Bart recorded a guitar part at first to be used as backingtrack and guide for the rest of the musicians to add their parts and improvisations.
Guitarist Erwin already came up with a few parts, melodies and guitar solo to play, which meant this went pretty quickly and we could focus on the performance.
Rick’s parts on keys where different and mostly meant to add texture. The keys where put through some effects in Cubase to make them more abstract and spacey sounding. This inspired Rick to come up with his parts. He improvised mostly. The idea for this was to sift through what he played and keep the best fitting parts for the song. Which we did.
In the following sessions for this track, Bart overdubbed his bass, guitars and vocals.
We mixed the track on several sessions, because the recordings session were some time apart. Every time I mixed a part and tweaked later on.
The drums were mixed to produce power and pump, and relied heavily on compression to achieve that.
Besides having some compression on snare, kick and overheads, the drums mostly parallel compressed.
The parallel drum bus was heavily compressed to create a pumping feel and mixed in with the normal drumbus. The roommics got treated to have the smashed compressed sound too, but I made sure it didn’t add too much sustain in the sound to prevent smearing the overall mix.
Bart recorded his bassguitar via pedals and DI into cubase. We reamped with a bass amp + cabinet. The main sound of the bassguitar was the amp and a bit of the pedals for clarity in the higher frequencies. The bassamp and cabinet provided the bulk of the low end and body if the sound. The amp track was duplicated and one was lowpassed purely for the lowend which got automated and compressed to have a very consistent low end pressure. The entire bass got a little multiband distortion to get some extra drive and grit.
The vocals were thickened by duplicating one of the double tracked vocals and pitch shifting both a little bit to have a chorussy effect. This also created the thickening effect I was after. To give the vocals some space, a bit of room reverb was added. Automated delays enhanced words and vocal parts were needed. The overall mix of the vocal is kept pretty dry, to contrast the mayhem of guitars happening and not to end up in a big reverb fest.
The guitar mix started out with the guitartrack recorded as backing on the day of the drum recording session. I decided to keep the track and use it as center background guitar track. Reason for this is the guitar were very shoegaze stylewise and I wanted to create some of that wall of sound shoegaze has. Reverb and delay were added to the track to put it to the back ground and volume automated to fit all parts of the song.
The main guitar part played by Bart were the Vox amp and Fender champ amp. Mostly they were panned to the same side and treated as 1 amp, but for the tremolo parts they were panned on opposite sides for the stereo image.
Erwin’s guitar parts were more or less the leadparts. Recorded with three mics, they were first time aligned. The staccato parts Erwin played were made more staccato by adding a gate which shortenend the already short sustain a bit. A bit of tape distortion added grit and edgyness to the verse parts. Erwin’s chorus parts, played open with a ”The Edge” vibe were made stereo by delaying the more distant mic bij a few dozen ms. This added a delay and spaceyness.
For keys, we stuck mostly with the plugins added during the recording session.
The Roland Synthplus 60 was mangled with Steinberg’s Chopper and Bitcrush plugins, Ohmforce’s Ohmicide. Delay and reverb were added to place it in the mix and automated were needed to create additional movement. Rick’s Nord keys went through Steinberg’s Ringmodulater and reverb and delay were also added to have 3D movement.
The mix was passed through the D&R analog eq to set an overall sound , then imported back into cubase for additional mastering. | 2019-04-19T04:17:28 | https://www.whitenoisestudio.com/hackler-headache-recording-mix-master/ |
Abel Jin and Delilah Johnson have lived their lives with holes in their souls, yearning for something they don't understand. Until one night Delilah is in mortal danger, and a man who's otherworldly strong and supernaturally fast saves her. Delilah is then cast into a world where fiction comes to life in the form of Abel, her destined mate, a vampire/werewolf hybrid who claims her at first breath as his. But Abel knows the danger isn't done. He's dreamed for centuries that his mate will perish, and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
For Delilah, she's coping not only with a fantasy come to life but also with a mingling of very different families. Not to mention she has on her hands a man who doesn't understand his true nature and has lived his long life thinking he's a monster. Abel and Delilah together fill the hole that has been clawing at them for decades. But, finally finding each other, it also tips their destinies as the last of The Three. They must unite with the other destined lovers, who, with Abel and Delilah, are fated to save the world. Or die trying.

First of the Five Tibetan Rites ~ Padmasambhava, known as Guru Rinpoche, was founder of Tibetan Buddhism in the 8th Century AD. I took this photo (1980s) in the Shrine Room of the Padmasambhava Buddhist Center in South Florida.
Welcome! to the 360 Healing Meditation Methods site. Enjoy one of my articles on yoga and so much more. If you're just beginning yoga or meditation -- wonderful. If you are a seasoned practitioner like me, enjoy reading one of many spiritual stress management articles on yoga, meditation and Tibetan meditation methods throughout these web pages, shared to inspire you on your journey to wholeness. As a practicing yogini for more than 35 years, I've experimented with The Five Tibetan Rites, and use them as part of my 'Tibetan Meditation in Motion' (360 Yoga) practice. As you'll read… this first rite is quite unique. Thank you for visiting today. May all be splendid for you and family. La Gyalo! Heartfelt Blessings.
Have you ever noticed Tibetan monks look youthful? I have. It’s a blessing to sit at the feet of these masters as a longtime student to two Lamas who are brothers. This month I share an exercise that was a secret in that it was known only in ancient monasteries of Tibet until discovered in the 1920s by a retired British army officer Colonel Bradford, who was allowed to observe, practice and bring it to the world. It’s the First of The Five Tibetan Rites which is quite unique (especially for a yoga teacher like me) because it’s not a traditional asana (posture). In fact its departure is enormous in that you stand and rotate your body—that’s it!
Before you start spinning around let’s look at the purpose of this discipline. As we age our frequency starts to wane. The vortexes or chakras slow down and go out of whack...which is not good. I know you’re familiar with chakra which means wheel in Sanskrit (it’s pronounced CH akra...as in chalk, not sh, as in shed). The First Rite energizes and strengthens our vibratory tonality. It will boost and balance the chakras for vitality and long life to the body (which is Soul’s temple).
Always consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Create a sacred space. You need enough room to safely rotate without bumping into a coffee table. You’re barefoot standing with feet slightly apart. Feel the earth. Meditate in this awareness for a minute or two. Outstretch your arms, shoulder level, palms down. Relax your neck area—avoid creating tension. Focus your mind...feel the subtle energies within.
Carefully spin clockwise ONLY 1-3 times slowly, breathing deeply while staying in place—not losing balance. Stop and bring palms together at chest level gazing at your thumbs. Initially you may feel a little dizzy so be careful and mindful. Practice daily and you’ll gain speed. This ritual takes only moments but it’s powerful. As the ancients taught, eventually (with much practice) a maximum of 21 rotations is performed. That’s “Doing a 360”!
Note: The author recommends seeking a qualified instructor for The Five Tibetan Rites. An excellent video available is: Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth, with Jille’ Gleason and Rory Reich.
The Rev. Nancy Ash, E-RYT is an ADL Ministerial Trainer, and long-time practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism and Hatha Yoga, who resides in the foothills of what the New Mexico Native Americans wisely call “The Great Turtle” aka the Sandias. She is blessed to view the peak at 10,700 ft. from her window.

The Last Layover is a fiction novel based on real places and potential scenarios where an out of control government pushes America to the brink of financial and social collapse. This vulnerable state allows the unthinkable to happen, causing the comfort, security, and conveniences of our modern first world society to quickly come to an end.
Working with a team to analyze and defeat external threats to U.S. security, Dan must deal with a terrorist plot to smuggle in dirty-bomb material using the established drug-cartel methods. In the meantime, there's an internal threat from disgruntled military elements involving an attempt on the president's life using the "football": the mysterious suitcase that accompanies the president at all times, containing the codes and protocols to launch a nuclear strike.
Admiral Theodore Magnuson, director of the Office of Naval Intelligence, didn't like the idea of sending the Seventh Fleet to Vladivostok for a New Year's celebration with the Russians. The president didn't give a damn what Magnuson thought, however; he was after détente.
Fearing the worst, Magnuson decides to run his own intelligence mission, sending men into Russia and China. The admiral is certain the US visit to the usually closed Soviet port is a cover for something. Something big.
The Chinese are faced with a similar problem - and a big question. Why is a combined US-Soviet fleet steaming into the East China Sea?
Very complex, well populated, and terrifyingly plausible. The plot is solid and activity is presented in an alternating fashion to keep to a time line. Each character is necessary and is clearly portrayed. Spies are always interesting and have their own objectives and perspectives, with inherent danger being the common denominator. Extremely well-written, and not to be rushed through, but absorbed, assimilated, and enjoyed. See publisher's summary for plot clues without spoilers.
Pierce gives a stellar performance once again. No superficial attempt to approximate accents or vocal differentiation, just solid, clear renditions of a multitude of characters and narrations. I find the speed of delivery particularly appropriate to a novel with so much information and so many characters in that he does not rush through and leave the reader in the dust.
I would to some one who likes this genre. It's a good complex military/espionage thriller.
The secret friendship between the American admiral and the high Chinese government official.
I cried when the father of the young Chinese captain told Ben of his daughter's death. Ben and the young woman were in love and Ben was so alone.
I also cried when another major character died.
This story takes place in the 1980's when Russia was still communist and the cold war was still ongoing. The Russians have invited the US Navy to an otherwise prohibited navel base that is near to China.
Admiral Theodore Magnuson doesn't trust the Russians and feels they are planning something which will implicate the Americans. The American president is a peaceful trusting soul and will not head Magnuson's Casandra warnings. Therefore Magnuson develops operation Seagull behind the president's back. Operation Seagull enlists four former retired navy men (Jack Royal, Bob Miller, Ben Goodrich, Tom Lumas) who are now business men to go into Russia and China on business ventures to collect intelligence.
The story is complex and very involved. One has to listen carefully to keep abreast of all the nuances. There is tragedy and unspoken heroism. The president finally realizes just how correct Magnusons warnings are.
The book is a highly suspenseful military thriller with lots of action.
what if THIS had happened?
Before I begin, let me say up front that this may well be one of the best books I’ve read in quite a while. It is neither a fast, nor an easy read. In fact it is as complicated as one of those 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzles, and the author puts that puzzle together in a meticulous, understated way. This is a story of strategy, military, political and intelligence gathering, and each move sets off several moves in several other places and motivates a large cast of characters to act or react, which set off other moves, and more pieces of our puzzle fall quietly into place.
Several things add to the excellence of this book. First, of course, is, and must be, the writing, which is incisive, often eloquent, and very occasionally, lyrical. The use of language is brilliant, and the storytelling is truly amazing, especially considering that this is a tale that involves 3 (well, indirectly 4) powerful countries, each with its own set of important actors, and over 50 years of history. While this isn’t one of those fast paced, hold your breath thrillers, each event builds to a climax that contains enough action to satisfy the most particular adrenalin junkies. There is violence, and its impact is even greater because it is handled in such a matter of fact manner.
For such a large cast of major characters, the character building is close to incredible. Each person is unique, and each character has a definite purpose for being in the book, playing the role he or she is playing. This, BTW, is as true of the minor characters as it is of the major characters.
The author pulls no punches about the sometimes dubious morality of the field of intelligence gathering, or of the choices those in charge of intelligence services must make; choices that seem to casually sacrifice individuals for the sake of crucial knowledge. In fact, in some ways, this book reminded me of the writing of John Le Carre, in its brilliance, understanding of the ways in which Governments work, worldwide, and in its understanding of, and compassion for, human motivations. This author makes excellent use of “amateur” intelligence operatives, giving them just enough military background to make them plausible, but keeping them psychologically and emotionally separate from professionals.
The story is, in some ways, alternative, or perhaps speculative history, since it posits events that could have, but thankfully, did not occur. But the fact that they *could* have at a time when most of the world was in a state of flux gives this a deeper, and perhaps the most chilling of all, thriller aspect.
The narrator was perfect, too. He never attempted to reproduce foreign accents, because there would have been too many of them, and they would have ended up confusing the reader. Rather, he used very subtle phrasing and emphasis to delineate whether the speaker was American, Chinese or Russian, and he did it so well that it worked beautifully. This was not the kind of book one couldn’t put down, in fact, I had to do so several times, if only to absorb what I had read, and study the partially constructed puzzle in order to understand what I was seeing in my mind.
I can only give both book and narrator 5 stars, though I wish I could give several more, and recommend this book highly to anyone interested in history (alternate and actual), military history and procedures, diplomacy, or the world of intelligence.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for this unbiased review from audioBookBlast dot com.
A very good read !
One of the best books I have been lucky enough to listen to. Excellent author ! An easy book to enjoy .
Would you try another book from Charles D. Taylor and/or Kevin Pierce?
Would you be willing to try another book from Charles D. Taylor? Why or why not?
Did The Twilight Patriots inspire you to do anything?
i liked the book but it's a bit dated. the overall story is not bad but there was a lot of millitary innovation since it came out and the book seems a lot dated because of it.
What would have made The Twilight Patriots better?
The narrator is reading as if to another group not used to English - Very slow and deliberate - tiring!
Has The Twilight Patriots turned you off from other books in this genre?
I have a large library on my shelves and several Audible spy/war novels - but this one is not for my shelves and would return it.
What didn’t you like about Kevin Pierce’s performance?
I am currently reading 4 books from our local library and have others booked. So I enjoy reading 2 to 4 books a week. I don't have too many I would reject. | 2019-04-18T17:00:24 | https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Twilight-Patriots-Audiobook/B013FEG9PM?qid=1448557436&&sr=1-9&ref=a_search_c4_1_9_srTtl |

You never want to be involved in a situation or accident that leaves you hurt, much less something so bad that you might be thinking about finding a personal injury lawyer. However, if you do, then you probably want the best representation possible. So, how do you find the best personal injury lawyer in your area? Keep reading to learn a few pointers.
Whenever you meet with potential lawyers for legal representation, make sure that you request a written estimate of their various fees and charges. Many different factors impact their prices, such as the number of years of experience they have, their professional accreditations, and whether or not they are in demand. Establishing these costs in advance prior to committing to working with any attorney is a good idea because you don’t want to wind up losing your lawyer once your matters are already in motion just because you lack money. It is possible to find personal injury lawyers that only get paid if they win, but you might find a better attorney that doesn’t do this.
Make sure that your lawyer is accessible to you. It won’t matter how great a lawyer is if they’re impossible to get in touch with.
One way to make sure your lawyer stays accessible is by scheduling regular times when the two of you can communicate. Many attorneys won’t even contact their clients for a while after they get hired.
Only deal with a lawyer that you can trust like The O’Brien and Ford Law Firm. This is a really big deal, particularly if you think that you might be working with this personal injury lawyer for a long time.
Try to find an attorney that isn’t booked up with too many cases. Be sure that you inquire about their potential devotion to you and your case in advance. Your attorney should be honest with you about their caseload. If it’s too much, find someone else.
It amazes me how often clients or potential clients think that the lawyer is “not fighting for them.” I suppose sometimes it is true, but more often it is based on emotional responses to good advise from the lawyer. On of the classic triggers for this type of response is for the lawyer to suggest that it may not be productive to fight over every tiny bit of property on the list of personal property.
If the marital estate has $20,000 worth of property composed of beds. couches, stereos and yes-lawn ornaments-each side can anticipate getting roughly $10,000 worth of stuff. For one reason or another most of these items are self selecting. For example, the $300 flyfishing set will typically be set aside to the husband and the $150 scrapbooking kit and the $150 worth of pots and pans will be set aside to the wife.
These items will typically balance each other out leaving maybe 30% of the estate which could be taken by either side. Lets call these items the lawn ornaments. Lets say there is an especially beautiful garden gnome left to divide that was bought for $100. Lets say that one side or another has invested significant emotional baggage in the garden gnome. Perhaps the other side is hell bent on dividing the property EXACTLY down the middle.
Lets say the lawyers make $200/hr. Every minute that the combined team of lawyers spends on the lawn ornament costs $6.66. Lawyers bill in increments of 1/10 hr or 6 minutes per billing entry. If each lawyer spends 1/1o of one hour that is a comined bill of nearly $80. Most lawyers charge 2/10 of an hour per phone call. That is a combined bill of nearly $160.
If the clients are really invested in this particular lawn ornament it will probably take more than a single phone call to resolve. Otherwise productive settlement discussions get blown up over such stupidity. Even if one side or the other eventually gives in the financial cost can be astronomical in relation to the real value of the item.
Take my advice-if the lawyer looks at you cross-eyed because you want to fight over the lawn ornament you have a good lawyer. If your lawyer wants to feed the fight over the lawn ornament then look very carefully at your next bill. | 2019-04-24T09:46:34 | http://downeastlawyers.com/author/wpadmin/ |
Sculptor and furniture designer Chantal Pitts is not one to accept the tyranny of the masses, she won't be told what to do. Her giant sculptured wooden furniture as art pieces, repurposed from old wood are simply breathtaking, and her in-demand smaller designs are uniquely graceful, charming and at times a little whimsical. Imbued with her urban experience. Then there's the reclaimed, reused and restored pieces often commissioned from the decomissioned detritus of the past. Chantal has a lot happening. No surprises then that it took a while to catch up with her, Chantal's days are sprawled out through the city, children in school across town, studio on the Eastside, home in the West. Chantal's is a big story with a bright future, and when she downed tools to meet at her local coffee shop, her optimism and ambition shone through. Erm, Like a diamond.
Chantal: Well, I spent my whole life trying various mediums from pencil to oils to clay and photography. I dabbled a bit in wood but it’s hard when you don’t have the proper tools. After I got my fine art degree I had my daughter. When she was about a year and a half old I got bored staying at home and decided to go to college to learn some new skills. There was a ‘women only’ furniture making course at the Sheffield College. It sounded awesome, it WAS awesome. I had found my calling. I went on to rent a space in a shared workshop in Sheffield from a wonderful man call Craig Helliwell after I left college. It gave me further access to the tools I needed to carry on with wood. I then met my partner, Nathan and moved to Birmingham where I eventually set up my own workshop/studio in Digbeth.
I love the properties of wood. Each piece of wood has its own character and idiosyncrasies. I love the processes used to work it and the textures and the colours and the variety. Each type of wood has its own individual traits which lend themselves to various uses (such as Maple for chopping boards because of density and antibacterial properties or lime and oak for hand carving because it’s easy to work, soft and light etc).
I have a tonne of wood (maybe not literally but possibly) in the workshop. Some of it is very old spruce pine joists from a house that was being renovated. I have all of them I think. Then I had a piece of my work in an antiques shop, the shop later closed down and the owner let me have a load of antique furniture that needed a bit of TLC. I also have a tendency to save small bits, off cuts and end pieces. I just can’t throw them away. They all have potential.
Outsideleft: Do you have favourite woods?
Outsideleft: Are there any artists that perhaps you might be able to say influenced your work or even further back, your career choices?
Chantal: I always loved Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci as a child (I know, not very modern, on trend, cutting edge choices, I know but honest nonetheless). I can’t say they inspired me to BE an artist but they inspired me. I was amazed that human hands could create with such accuracy and convey such passion in such a cold medium as marble, and have the innovative ideas and create the amazing exploratory drawings like Da Vinci.
I also loved the perception of the artist per se: The rebel, the watcher, the observer, with passion and eccentricity. They were to me the unconventional and non-conformist voice of emotion and ideas, symbolism and visual rhetoric. The curious and free spirited. Daring to explore and discover the self and the environment.
But ultimately, I just loved making things and drawing ever since I could use my hands autonomously.
Street art and graffiti are my main sources of interest today. I love the use of the everyday, urban surroundings for creativity.
Outsideleft: How is your work evolving would you say?
Chantal: Well, my work has evolved from 2D to relief to 3D over the years. It has merged with furniture and functionality. I like the idea that art has a function. Like my walnut screen that has drawers in the bottom or my corner cabinet with carved figures and comic book style door, inspired by anime and Manga. I’ve explored all manner of materials and techniques and so now I am blending the various styles with wood (predominantly reclaimed). This is evolving somewhat into a more expressive form, more fine art(ish). It’s difficult to bridge the gaps of design, fine art, furniture and craft, which is kind of what I do.
Chantal: Yes. I spent most of my life in Sheffield. When I left school I did a hairdressing and beauty therapy course, specialising in plaits and extensions and dreadlocks (quite often on white clients back in the 90’s in the days of Christina Aguilera), it has helped me get by through the years. I then applied for and got a ‘Prince’s Trust’ loan in the late 90’s to open an art shop called ‘Crafty People’. The idea was to sell the work of local artists because I’d always struggled to find a forum in which to market myself and sell my own work. Good intentions were not enough and my shop closed around a year later.
So then I went to Sheffield Hallam University to study industrial Design, initially. I wanted creative discipline. But it wasn’t for me. Not enough scope for self expression and a very much male dominated field. I struggled with the 3D CAD stuff and the macho attitudes to design and (dare I say it) ‘women’! I dropped out of that course and took a couple of separate modules while re-evaluating my direction, one of which was ‘wearing the message, clothing codes and society’, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It stimulated that inquisitive, creative side of me. It was an observational look into the messages that we send when we wear suits, uniforms, fashions, work wear, etc. It reawakened my artistic and expressive spirit so I decided to go back to my roots and finish off with fine art. As I mentioned before, I went on to do the furniture making course where I got a distinction and a student of the year award that I am extremely proud of. In fact, I think I am more proud of my C&G furniture qualification than I am of my degree. My experience at the Sheffield college women’s course was one of the best times in my life. I loved the atmosphere, the work, the supportive and inspirational teachers, and the other students, all of it. After college with the guidance of the tutors I did a PTLLS (preparing to teach in the lifelong learning sector) course at the South Yorkshire Women’s Construction Centre (as it was then known. Now it’s called WICAT, Women in Construction, Art and Technology). It was a 6 week course in which I learned some basic teaching skills. This led me on to teach a basic DIY course for women in Barnsley and Doncaster for the centre.
I’ve done art commissions, hairdressing, cleaning, worked in shops, even onion peeling. One of my favourite jobs though was working at an art shop selling art materials. We were encouraged to use the stock to gain knowledge of the products. I sold a fair bit of art that way too.
Outsideleft: And how d'you end up in Bearwood - it's regarded as a burgeoning art and intellectual quarter outside the city confines (and costs)?
Chantal: We moved to Birmingham from Sheffield in 2013. We found a flat in Moseley and lived there for just over 3 years. But then our landlord died and the property was sold and we had to move. We did a search around Moseley and kings Heath because our children go to school there. But we were either priced out or the affordable properties were taken too fast, and we had a deadline. We stumbled on a house in Bearwood and although it was a bit too far from school and what we knew, it was affordable, and we were accepted as tenants (it’s not easy to find a rental when you’re self employed!). I didn’t know Bearwood very well. I had picked up/delivered stock to Clive Mark Schoolwear in Bearwood for the annual school sales as I have worked for them during the summers a few times (the money helps and I get a change of pace and get to know a bit more of Birmingham) but that was all I knew. I asked around to find out a bit more about Bearwood and the reviews were very positive. I have discovered a substantial Creative population here too, with artists, craftspeople, writers and musicians which sounded great to me being an artist. So we made the move and I love it. It feels homely, cool, vibrant, family orientated, friendly. I think it was a good move. It’s affordable too with great shopping, parks, good schools, good bus routes to the city centre and ‘Hagley road’ (it reminds me of my birth town, London). I like that we’re on Harborne’s doorstep too. We’re just starting to explore Smethwick and Oldbury. Bearwood is more affordable than Moseley and Kings Heath and you get more for your money. I read online that Bearwood is to Harborne what Kings Heath is to Moseley. And I can see the similarities. Bearwood is an up and coming area and I feel lucky to have found myself here at this time.
Outsideleft: Now and Next? What's happening with your work?
Chantal: I’m working towards doing some wall mounted pieces inspired by the streets. I’ve been focussing on bricks, dereliction, weeds, and hidden beauty, the often overlooked beauty that is all around us, like a derelict building that has a past, now abandoned. But it’s still living, host to plants and animals, the canvass for graffiti and street art and retains a piece of the city’s history, homage to the skills of the builders and the architect and the lives of the people who once lived or worked there, each brick a once valued fragment of something larger. Like people, people who are forgotten and overlooked and undervalued but that add to the diversity of life. Ghettocentricity is my artist statement and website appendage because finding beauty in the city and/or creating beauty to enhance a place is something that impassions me. It’s also a great platform for ‘speaking to’ and reaching the public with political and social statements. Although I have not done any street art or graffiti myself, they are inspiration for my work. I am currently interested in carved graffiti because it’s the total antithesis of what street art and graffiti are all about. It has a longevity that the original medium doesn’t have. It takes time. Maybe a kind of meditative, slower paced, version of a city life. Less rushed, stressed, frantic, on the edge. Although the ‘fast lane’ and being on the edge have a certain appeal, I am more of a laid back, take time kind of soul at heart. I like the idea of carved bricks too, or bricks as individuals, a kind of testament to the individual within a society.
Craft has been growing in my repertoire of work too. I used to make small mechanical art pieces. Turn a handle and something moves kind of thing. I’m thinking of returning to that concept. They are good fun pieces that are more affordable in these times of social and financial insecurity.
I also make hand-made wooden books with carved or wood burned images or covers.
I think at this stage I’m evolving more towards sculpture than furniture although I love regenerating old, tired furniture or designing and making sculptural furniture I have struggled to find a market for it so far. Maybe I’ll open a pop-up shop for my furniture once I have established myself.
This has been a very cathartic experience. It’s good to remember where you’ve been and where you are and where you’re heading.

The majority of plants used are known as drum mix plants; the other, less frequently used type, is a batch plant. The batch plant consists of the cold feed system, individual bins that hold and feed the aggregate to the drum dryer ( Figure 501 3 ).
If the asphalt mix grow cold, it cannot be properly compacted and thus, looses its strength. The last process of paving is compaction.

Everyone can look back and reminisce about when they were kids. Everything was so much simpler then. We had very little to stress about. Unless there was a particular disaster, we can all remember frolicking and playing a lot. Those were our happy years, we could take anything, add our imagination and create a world of happiness.
At that time, we were free for the strictures of human expectations. When we were sad, we cried, when we were happy we showed it too. As we grew, life became complicated, and we became serious. Our smile was gradually replaced by our battle face. Now we fight for everything; for the best job and the best position. Everybody is the enemy, so why should we smile?
As we become more serious, we are also become sicker. It is a scientific fact that laughter is vital to our health! In 1964, American journalist, Norman Cousins, was diagnosed with a rare disease and was told he had 0.2% chance of survival. His research revealed that his medicines and his illness were draining Vitamin C from his body.
Laughter is free, and we can get it by just releasing our inner child. We have many reasons to stress but there also many reasons to laugh.
His research led him to a drastic decision, he replaced his doctor with one who accepted him as a health partner and not a patient. Next, he started massive doses of Vitamin C and he binge-watched comedies, so he could also get massive doses of laughter. The result, he lived 26 years longer than anyone predicted.
Did laughter cure him, we can’t say for sure. However, scientists confirm that laughter increases the levels of T-cells, our body’s natural cancer-fighting agents. Some T-cells, though present, are also triggered when we laugh. Other antigens that fight upper respiratory illnesses and repair damaged cells are also triggered by laughter.
All of that from just laughing? YES! Yet, we take laughing for granted and walk around with a grimace. Laughter is free, and we can get it by just releasing our inner child. We have many reasons to stress but there also many reasons to laugh. There are too many things to be thankful for, and a lot to be happy about.
Treat yourself to a good laugh now and again; it’s cheap medicine. Your body and heart will be refreshed and heal themselves because of it. | 2019-04-25T06:31:59 | https://www.iyfjamaica.com/mind-edu/why-so-serious/ |

A recent study published in the Journal of nutrition and intermediate metabolism (Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism) found that resveratrol is beneficial to the expansion of brain blood vessels and the circulation of the brain blood in patients with type II diabetes.
In this study, researchers from the University of news Carle and the University of Swinburne science and technology in Australia identified the best dose of resveratrol to help improve vasodilatation, especially in the brain of patients with type II diabetes. Current studies suggest that type II diabetes is usually accompanied by endothelial dysfunction and subclinical cognitive impairment.
Previous studies conducted by the team have shown that resveratrol can improve vascular function in the circulatory system. Accordingly, the researchers concluded that resveratrol can also promote blood circulation in the brain. The new study recruited 36 patients aged 40 to 80 years of age II diabetes, randomly using 75mg, 150mg, 300mg synthetic trans-resveratrol, or placebo, once a week. The researchers used cranial Doppler ultrasonography to detect the vasodilator response to hypercapnia. Hypercapnia stimulation involves breathing high-carbon gases (such as 95% O2 + 5% CO2) for three minutes, 45 minutes before and after the use of a supplement or placebo.
The results showed that the central arterial blood vessels in the left and right brain of the resveratrol supplement group showed vasodilatation, and the effect of the 75mg dose group was the best. Previous studies have shown that enhanced vasodilation is effective in alleviating endothelial dysfunction and subclinical cognitive impairment.
Helps reduce blood pressure: resveratrol's antioxidant potential has the potential to reduce blood pressure. He can also help reduce blood pressure by increasing nitric oxide and relaxing blood vessels.
Beneficial to blood lipids: multiple animal studies have confirmed that resveratrol supplements can regulate blood lipids in a healthy way. As an antioxidant, he can also reduce the oxidation of LD cholesterol.
Protection of the brain: many studies have shown that drinking red wine containing resveratrol helps to slow down the cognitive decline of aging. This protective effect may be related to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, resveratrol should pay attention to the protection of damaged brain cells.
Increased insulin sensitivity: a number of animal studies suggest that resveratrol can provide multiple benefits for diabetics, such as increasing insulin sensitivity and preventing diabetic complications. Resveratrol prevents oxidation, thereby inhibiting the progression of certain diabetic complications; it also helps reduce inflammation and inhibits the progression of chronic diseases.
Relieving joint pain: resveratrol can help prevent cartilage rupture and relieve joint pain. Cartilage rupture is one of the causes of joint pain, and it is also one of the main symptoms of arthritis.
Inhibition of cancer cells: Based on animal and in vitro studies, resveratrol helps block cancer cell activity. | 2019-04-24T07:48:45 | http://natesw.com/newsitem/278309452 |

Another thing that I get from this document is how well we know the customer needs. If we can't manage to get a decent Roadmap, then we are failing to understand the customer's need, and that's not cool.

Growing up in Mantova, Italy, Simona Faroni liked the designer clothes she saw other girls wearing at school. She went to went to work at a local restaurant to earn money but had to keep it a secret from her father.
“Instead of going out to movies with friends on weekends, I was going to work. But he found out eventually after some family friends came to the restaurant,” she remembers. Her father grounded her from work, but then her mother became her accomplice and covered for her.
Faroni, 35, is no stranger to taking on a challenge. Today she lives in Destin and is the cofounder (along with her husband) of Fort Walton Beach-based G.S. Gelato, which employs more than 90 local workers and annually distributes 1.3 million gallons of gelato across the United States.
But the beginnings of the business were shaky. When they arrived, neither spoke English. They went to night school and communicated with a pocket dictionary.
After importing the gelato machines, they began making their product in the back of their home and opened a small storefront in downtown Fort Walton Beach. On one of their best days, their profit was $13.50. But Keith Howard of The Howard Group became a fan and suggested moving the store to Silver Sands Premium Outlets in Destin.
The rest is history. They have opened four stores (now sold to a client) and went from a 1,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to 26,000 square feet.
As community development director of the Bay Medical Foundation, Rebecca Pierson’s focus is on the vision of serving the health care needs of Bay County.
Fundraising for a good cause is nothing new for Pierson, who held a dog show in her backyard when she was in the sixth grade to help out the local Humane Society.
Pierson, 52, was asked to join the Bay Medical Foundation, became president and then joined the staff when the foundation was attached to a then not-for-profit Bay Medical Center. She helped raise more than $5 million for the hospital’s capital campaign, which was used to open the medical tower. When the hospital became for-profit, the foundation became independent and she stayed with it.
In the last three years, it has given out $1.4 million in grants to local organizations with a health care connection, such as the St. Andrews Medical Clinic.
“There are 55,000 Bay County residents who are uninsured. It’s tough,” says Pierson, who also oversees a program that awards scholarships to 17 Gulf Coast State College students each year.
Some of the best advice she ever received came from her father, who retired from the Air Force at the rank of two-star general.
The call to attend law school came to Lisa Walters when she served as a staffer to a joint legislative committee tackling the issue of how the state should compensate residents and growers who were losing their citrus canker-infected trees to the ax.
Looking back, she can’t remember a time when she didn’t have a job.
“I’ve always had jobs, always worked,” she says. Babysitting and mowing lawns were during the early years; working in a children’s specialty shop at the Panama City Mall and then Gayfers department store, in the display department, were jobs she held in high school. | 2019-04-24T06:28:50 | https://www.emeraldcoastmagazine.com/pinnacle-award-winners/ |

Cartagena was the most touristy place I visited in all of Colombia.
It was also my least favourite part of Colombia. Although that doesn’t mean I hate it- Colombia is such an incredible country that the standards are set high. In fact, I had a great time in the city and I thought in terms of architecture, Cartagena was the most beautiful place I visited in Colombia. I wouldn’t have wanted to skip it!
But it was also stinking hot, and there are no easily accessible beaches. In fact, you really have to join a tour from your hostel in order to get to an extremely crowded, not very beautiful beach.
Hence my advice for Cartagena is that you don’t really need more than two days. That’s plenty of time to see what the city must offer. You could probably even do it in a day but you’ll want to spend the middle of the day inside with the air-conditioned. Two full days gave me plenty of time to explore in the morning and at dusk when it was slightly cooler.
Cartagena is also a great jumping off point to better places like Casa al Agua (I’m still kicking myself for not pre-booking this and thus not being able to go). Or even to Panama via the San Blas islands.
The thing that makes Cartagena such a beautiful destination is its old colonial architecture. In this way, the city reminded me a lot of Havana, although it was better preserved than most of the buildings I saw in Cuba. My friend and I got lost for hours just wandering around the city and stopping to snap photos of the beautiful and colourful buildings. I almost felt I was on a film set. Despite the heat, and the sweat dripping down my face, by wandering around I realised why so many people loved this city.
If you want to learn more about the history of the city, or just see the city in a more guided way than my random exploration then there are free walking tours. But after the huge tours I did in Bogota and Medellin, I was not keen on doing this in Cartagena. Especially because walking tours meant I wouldn’t be able to duck into air-conditioned shops for a cold drink or an ice-cream every half an hour.
After we had sufficiently wandered through the city, my friend and I decided to stop in the main square of the town. We were persuaded by the shady area that protected us from much of the heat, as well as the various street vendors with coolers full of ice cold beer. So we did as the locals do and sat on a park bench while listening to some street music and drinking some beer. It was also a perfect spot for people watching as hundreds of locals walked by or wandered into the square to escape the heat and find some shade, or to buy some lunch or a drink from one of the old Colombian ladies.
Once again, the pace, the heat and the sense of community reminded me a lot of Havana in Cuba. I think there might be something about the Caribbean and how it makes people friendly, smiley and just obviously, content with their existence. And I think it was those Caribbean vibes that I liked most about Cartagena.
I stayed at Mamallena Hostel in the district of Getsemani. It’s a short walk from the old town and was one of my favourite parts of Cartagena. The colour and vibrancy of the whole city still exists beyond the old city walls in Getsemani. The old town of Cartagena is immaculate and the buildings are kept in good repair. Getsemani in contrast felt a lot more real. The buildings seemed more lived in. Not to mention Getsemani is home to some awesome street art. We spent an afternoon wandering around and taking snaps of all the amazing pieces. Whilst it won’t ever be as good as Bogota, I loved the chaos and authenticity of the street art in Cartagena.
But Getsemani really comes alive at night. The area round the Getsemani church becomes a hive of activity as street food vendors sit up their stalls. People head to the vendor selling cocktails, or in to the corner store directly across from the church to buy some beers. Then everyone sits on the street, drinking, chatting and listening to some of the street musicians. I loved those nights in Cartagena.
If you are looking for a more organised party, one of the best nights to be out in Cartagena is Wednesday nights because of the huge party that occurs at Media Luna Hostel. It was located just across the road from Mamallena Hostel. Media Luna is usually a busy and popular hostel. It’s got a pool after all. But due to a huge problem with bed bugs the hostel was nowhere near capacity (word travels past on the backpacker trail in Colombia). I hope they have fixed it up because it looks like it could be a lot of fun.
Despite the lack of people staying at the hostel, the Wednesday night party was still packed full of people. Both locals and travellers head here and it is one of the greatest nights out in Cartagena. I especially loved chilling out and dancing on the rooftop. The water in all of Cartagena had been cut off for the day so we were all disgustingly sweaty for the party, but at least everyone was the same! It was a good night, even if all of us had to pull ourselves out of bed and head out on a shuttle bus to Santa Marta in the morning.
All the hostels offer variety of day trips from Cartagena. The most popular is the day trip to Playa Blanca and Rosario Islands. It was a pricey trip and didn’t come hugely recommended by those that had gone there already. So, I decided against it, especially because the only day we could go would have been the day the city had no water. I was not keen to come home salty and sandy from the beach and not be able to wash all that off. But if you are desperate for a beach it might be worth it for you!
The mud volcano is also another popular day trip. You basically go swimming in the mud of a volcano and then pay some old Colombian lady to wash it all off you in the river nearby. I’d heard it was very touristy and kind of gross. I’d also heard some horror stories about you basically having to get naked in the river with lots of creepy men around. Not something I was particularly keen on doing!
I flew into Cartagena from Medellin with VivaColombia. There are overnight buses as well. If you are coming from or planning on heading to Panama I’d absolute recommend the San Blas Island Tour. Everyone raves about it and it’s already on my bucket list for my big central America trip in a couple of years.
I stayed at Mamallena which was a great hostel with constant air-conditioning. It cost me 40000COP a night, which is about $17 AUD a night (Cartagena is the most expensive place I visited in Colombia). | 2019-04-20T04:57:05 | http://www.adventureliesinfront.com/what-to-do-in-cartagena-colombia/ |
We all know that having an event planned like a wedding or holiday can be the perfect motivation to help get you started on a health kick or weight-loss journey.

What a pretty day !
数ヶ月に1,2回行くか行かないかのSan Franciscoで去年撮った写真。2011年分をまとめてみた。Though I usually stay within the specific part of the Peninsula and it's once or twice in several months to go to the city, let's put some pictures I took in San Francisco throughout 2011.
BARTのPowell Stationから徒歩7分くらいの距離のBlue Bottle Coffeeのカフェ。観光でSFに来ていて車のない人も行きやすいカフェだと思う。Blue Bottle Coffee on Mint Plaza. About 7 minute walk from BART Powell Station. Accessible location for tourists who don't have a car.
お決まり典型コースだけど、カリフォルニアに来た人を観光に連れるならやっぱり欠かせないゴールデンゲートブリッジ。10月。Well, yea it's typical, but this is one of must places to take a guest from outside California right? Golden Gate Bridge. October.
エンバルカデロセンターの空。10月。Sky over Embarcadero Center. October.
私が傾いてんだか、家が傾いてんだか。それとも地球か。Am I tilted? Are the houses tilted? Or the earth?
チャイナタウンでチェス対戦中。Street chess match is going on.
チャイナタウンもハロウィン。ストロングマンも現金は必要よね。Halloween in China Town. Strong Man also needs some cash. | 2019-04-19T10:43:01 | https://ankokiroku.exblog.jp/i2/ |
Short sales are a foreclosure alternative. Foreclosures appear on credit ratings for at least 7 years and most borrowers later find themselves declaring bankruptcy. So, they suggest a short sale to the lender. The lender will usually agree to a short sale once the borrower has reached the point of no return. They cannot pay their mortgage and foreclosure will happen. For mortgage lenders, foreclosure proceedings are long, full of hassle, and costly. They want to avoid the process just as much as the borrowers. | 2019-04-18T19:17:07 | https://starksmarketing.com/5-reasons-examine-short-sales/ |

Mountbellew is a small but growing town in County Galway about 30 miles from Galway city in the west, 18 miles from Athlone to the east, and 16 or so from Ballinasloe. Its Irish name is An Creagan, the little rock. However, it derives its modern name from the Bellew family, who are thought to have come over in the Anglo-Norman invasion, and, after many changes in their fortunes, finally acquired the lands of the Bellew estate.
It was formerly known as Mountbellew Bridge, from the old bridge over the river Castlegar.
It has attracted much new house building in recent years due to its commuting distance from these towns.
A market is held in the town square every Tuesday and a beautiful addition to that square is the very fine equestrian statue of Bobbyjo. | 2019-04-24T08:16:53 | http://www.mountbellew.com/ |
Chairman George Miller’s latest bill to address issues in the retirement plan marketplace, H.R.2989, has two significant sections for the defined contribution marketplace. The first, “401k Fair Disclosure for Retirement” requires enhanced fee disclosures to plan sponsors and participants. The second, “Prohibition of Conflicted Investment Advice” seeks to reduce conflicts of interest by requiring that advice providers be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These two pieces of the bill were previously separate bills, fee disclosure was introduced as H.R.1984 and investment advice was introduced as H.R.1988, but they were merged to create H.R.2989. Because we have already devoted substantial energy and effort to explain and support the fee transparency part of the bill, we believe it is important now to address the investment advice portion in greater detail.
Rand Report: Investor and Industry Perspectives on Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers.
The investment advice portion of H.R.2989 is just one part of a larger debate related to competing regulatory structures and standards of care of broker-dealers and investment advisers. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (48 Stat. 881) regulates brokers and dealers, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (54 Stat. 847) regulates investment advisers. Broker-dealers are subject to a standard of care that is built around “arms-length” relationships, “fair-dealing” and the concept of suitability. The primary requirement is that brokers must have an “adequate and reasonable basis” upon which to recommend a transaction to a retail client and this transaction must be suitable to a client’s financial situation, needs and risk tolerance. Broker-dealers also have other requirements, such as the best execution of securities transactions, reporting requirements and significant compliance and oversight rules; however, the fundamental fact is that nowhere in statute or regulation does it state that brokers owe a fiduciary duty to a client. Investment advisers, on the other hand, owe an affirmative fiduciary duty to their clients that requires them to act only in the best interest of the client and to avoid or disclose all direct and indirect conflicts of interest. Historically these different regulatory structures made sense because broker-dealers primarily executed investment transactions whereas investment advisers focused on supplying investment advice. However, over the past 10-15 years the lines of demarcation between broker-dealers and investment advisers have become increasingly murky. The advent of fee-based brokerage accounts that look and function very similarly to advisory accounts and the increasing use of titles such as “investment advisor” or “wealth manager” by brokers has made the distinction harder for consumers to understand (for background on fee-based brokerage accounts please read the Tully Report, the SEC rule, and the subsequent court case overturning the rule). In addition, many “independent” investment adviser representatives are registered representatives of broker-dealers and agents of insurance companies. To make matters worse, investors seem to be oblivious to the distinctions among the titles, regulatory structures and competing standards of care within the industry. For a more in-depth review of the regulatory history and current state of the industry we recommend a complete review of the RAND Report. Though it is long, the report should be required reading for all interested in this matter.
The description of the standard of care in Treasury’s proposal was deemed by many in the Investment Adviser world as a dilution of the fundamental fiduciary obligations. Critics were quick to point out that the use of the word “fiduciary” was notably absent. Critics were also upset that certain words and phrases in the description of the standard of care (“may”,”in substance” etc.) gave the SEC too much room to deviate from the Advisers Act.
* Any omissions to this list were purely unintentional. If you would like to add to this list please contact [email protected].
In order to understand what is happening in the world of investment advice, historical perspective is required. The growth in the investment advisory business has been the big trend for years in the investment world. Successful brokers are increasingly leaving their broker-dealers and setting up their own investment advisory businesses. The primary reason cited for this shift is the demands of clients who are fed up with Wall Street scandals and the conflicts of interest of their advisers. The broker-dealer industry is under attack from both sides of its retail business: discount brokers stealing its trading clients, and top brokers walking away with its high net worth clients. To stem their losses, broker-dealers have sought to position themselves as advice providers without having to don the cap of a fiduciary adviser. This shift has created great confusion for consumers and in our minds is the primary reason why a uniform standard of care for advice providers is required.
More than 60 percent of respondents believed that brokers have a fiduciary duty, and 90 percent of respondents believed that investment advisers have a fiduciary duty. The majority of respondents would not seek services from a broker if they knew that brokerage services provided fewer investor protections, that brokers did not have a fiduciary duty, or that brokers were not required to disclose all conflicts of interest. After being presented with the disclosure statement specified by the 2005 rule, 79 percent of respondents reported that they would be less likely to seek financial advice from a brokerage firm.
It appears that investors expect to receive advice from conflict-free advisers. Read in its entirety the Rand Report creates a compelling case for unifying regulation under the affirmative fiduciary obligations of investment advisers, not vice versa. The “confusion” arguments against the fiduciary standard of care fail this basic test of alignment with investor expectations.
There is a more fundamental flaw to Lemke and Stone’s argument. Their preferred approach, or rather the preferred approach of the broker-dealer industry, is to use “plain English.” Presumably, plain English means not using the term “fiduciary.” However, the term “fiduciary” is the term that is most beneficial to investors. There is a very clear legal standard and history dating back over a hundred years that accompanies the term “fiduciary” and that applies to a variety of relationships in a variety of industries; trustee/trustor, parent/child, lawyer/client etc. It is commonly accepted that the fiduciary standard is the highest standard of care known to the law and that no other standard can supersede or improve upon it. Because of the duty of prudence owed by fiduciaries, fiduciaries must adopt any practice, understanding or method deemed to be an improvement upon the existing standard. In such a way, the fiduciary duty requires fiduciaries to always elevate themselves to the highest standard of care then attainable. As such there is no need for an “improved” or “enhanced” standard of care.
While BrightScope supports a fiduciary standard of care for all investment advice providers, we recognize that the fiduciary standard of care is not a cure-all for financial regulation. There are certainly elements of investment adviser supervision that must be improved. In the short term, we believe the SEC is on the right track with two of its initiatives aimed at preventing fraud by investment advisers. The first initiative closed the loophole that allowed non-public broker-dealers to use accounting firms not registered with the PCOAB. This change is complete and is effective for audit periods ending after 12/31/2008. The second major initiative is a comprehensive review of Rule 206(4)-2 which regulates the custody practices of advisers and requires investment advisers with legal custody of client assets to maintain those assets with one or more qualified custodians. The SEC has already proposed a rule change: Release No. IA-2876. This is a critical rule change because as we have seen in practice advisory clients with assets not held with an independent custodian have a much higher risk of fraud. While we are still reviewing the comment letters on this proposed rule, at present we believe that investment advisers with “full custody” of advisory client assets should be subject to surprise examinations and required to conduct a SAS 70 Type II report. The SEC should look seriously at taking a bifurcated approach to custody with stricter rules in place for advisers with “full custody” and more lenient rules in cases in which advisers have limited custody solely for the purpose of withdrawing fees. While both cases are cause for concern, the former case is of significantly greater concern and affects a more limited set of advisers making regulation more effective. We also believe the SEC should adopt a non-rebuttable presumption that an investment adviser has custody if any related-person has custody of advisory client assets. In response to the current crisis, investor protections must be strengthened, not weakened. In some cases investment adviser regulation can learn from the regulatory standards used by FINRA to regulate the broker-dealer industry.
Given the multiplicity of parties involved in today’s 401(k) plan arena, many opportunities exist for business arrangements to go undisclosed. Problems may occur when pension consultants or other companies providing services to a plan also receive compensation from other service providers. Without disclosing these arrangements, service providers may be steering plan sponsors toward investment products or services that may not be in the best interest of participants.
While the real impact is unknown, the risks are great enough to retirement security that action is required.
It should be the intent of the legislation to align the standard of care of financial representatives with the expectations of investors and to strengthen investor protections. If “harmonization” is to occur it needs to be the harmonization of investor expectations with the standard of care of their advisers, regardless of whether that financial firm was heretofore regulated as a broker-dealer or an investment adviser. That means upgrading all providers of investment advice to the existing fiduciary standard for investment advisers, not lowering the fiduciary protection via a new “federal fiduciary” standard. Nowhere is this case more clearly evident than with retirement plans, where a higher percentage of investors are unsophisticated and lack the freedoms they have in non-retirement accounts. These investors deserve to have access to conflict-free advice from fiduciary advisers.
Plan participants and plan sponsors can benefit greatly from advice received from true fiduciaries who have only the client’s sole interest in mind. BrightScope stands in support of any piece of legislation that strengthens the standard of care owed to plan participants and plan sponsors. | 2019-04-20T20:37:16 | https://blog.brightscope.com/2009/08/03/investment-advice-and-retirement-plans/ |
Not long ago my husband, Cory, and I were at some friends of ours where they served baked battered dill pickles and knew right away we had to try them at home. These easy beer batter deep fried pickles are a great addition to appetizer menus.
The combination of tart with a crispy batter and a creamy sauce with a spicy kick, is the perfect compliment to any appetizer. These Deep Fried Pickles will quickly become a game night snack favourite, weekend app go-to and unique addition to holiday appetizers.
There’s no need for a deep fryer with these Beer Batter Deep Fried Pickles, just fry them in a skillet with cooking oil, drip dry on a rack over a paper towel to sop up any excess oil and serve either warm or cold with dill dip.
I find the best results are when you dry the pickles of excess liquid, dredge the pickles in flour, dip into the beer batter scraping off excess drip batter and quickly place into a hot skillet of oil. The pickles are done when they are crispy golden brown and ready for dipping in complimentary dill sauce, regular or spicy.
In a small skillet pour cooking oil, enough to cover the pickles when frying. Heat to medium high heat; you can test for readiness by flicking water off your fingers and if it immediately sizzles the oil is ready for cooking.
Slice pickles into quarters lengthwise, or desired thickness. Dry off excess liquid on a paper towel and set beside the stove.
Place about ¼ cup of flour on a small plate for dredging and set beside the stove.
In a medium bowl, mix beer batter ingredients, with the beer slowly and last, until smooth. Set beside the stove.
Place a drying rack beside the skillet with paper towel to catch the drips.
Using a fork on one end, dredge a pickle through the flour, shaking off excess before dipping into beer batter, quickly drag off excess batter on the side of the bowl before placing into the hot oil.
Let cook in skillet for approximately 1 minute before flipping with tongs and cook on the other side for another 60 seconds, or until crispy golden brown. Place onto the drying rack and repeat until all pickles are cooked.
In a small bowl, mis dipping sauce ingredients until mixed.
Serve deep fried pickles warm or cold with dill dip, regular or spicy.
You can also serve these with ranch dressing if preferred.
I have one daughter that would absolutely love these, but I never knew how to approach them lol Thanks so much for the recipe! | 2019-04-20T18:14:15 | https://thislilpiglet.net/2016/12/beer-batter-deep-fried-pickles-dill-dip/ |
New government-backed programme to improve UK manufacturing competitiveness and productivity is open for business; new “NMCL” approach has been successfully piloted by companies in the North West of England.
A £16 million programme to help make the UK’s advanced automotive manufacturing supply chain more competitive was launched by Business Secretary, Greg Clark, last week (April 5th 2019). SMMT Industry Forum – the organisation set up by the UK government, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and vehicle manufacturers to improve the competitiveness of the UK’s automotive supply chain – is to play an important role in the new initiative.
The National Manufacturing Competitiveness Levels (NMCL) programme, is funded by the government as part of its Industrial Strategy, and Automotive Sector Deal, and has been jointly developed by the automotive and aerospace sectors. It aims to assess and improve competitiveness, raise workforce capacity and increase productivity of all types of UK manufacturers.
Along with other national providers SMMT Industry Forum will support the programme by helping companies understand how they can develop their business to become more competitive and win more orders. SMMT Industry Forum already has a successful track record in this area, including improvement delivery in the government-funded Long Term Automotive Supply Chain Competitiveness (LTASC) programmes which created and safeguarded jobs, trained people and leveraged £41m private investment. It has also been involved in piloting the new NMCL model in the North West of England.
NMCL is designed to help manufacturers of all sizes and stages of development understand how competitive they currently are and develop the specific business capabilities they need to boost their performance. The programme includes an in-depth competitiveness assessment based on company capabilities and the views of key customers. This data is then applied to investment decisions across six areas of competitiveness; quality, cost, delivery, flexibility, products/technology and customer experience. Projects are tailor-made for each manufacturer and focus on boosting competitiveness, increasing ‘value-add’ and winning more orders. Companies can undertake 6 month focussed improvement projects through to multi-year company transformations depending on their potential and ambition.
Organisations can register their interest to take part in the NMCL programme by completing by completing a short questionnaire on the NMCL website.

Established in 1996 by the UK government, the SMMT and vehicle manufacturers to improve the competitiveness of the UK’s automotive supply chain. It has more than 150 cross sector industry specialists and is active in 30 countries. It has delivered over 400 competitiveness and productivity programmes and trained over 25,000 people over the past 20 years. Over the last four years, the Automotive Council has run its Long-Term Automotive Supply Chain Competitiveness (LTASC) programme through SMMT Industry Forum where it has worked with over 70 automotive supply chain companies, large and small, to upskill hundreds of employees, boost productivity, deliver new products to market, leverage more than £75m of private investment in CAPEX, skills and R&D, and is set to create and safeguard more than 3,800 jobs. SMMT Industry Forum has also been the largest provider of knowledge and expertise to deliver the aerospace industry’s Sharing in Growth (SiG) programme. | 2019-04-25T18:06:47 | https://propel-technology.com/newsroom/government-launches-flagship-auto-supply-chain-programme-smmt-industry-forum-will-support-the-delivery/ |
This article was previously published in Sculpture, 20(7), page 81 in 2001.
“One day I hope the exhibition will go out to sea,” says Reykjavik Sculptors’ Association President Anna Eyjolfsdottir about Coastline 2000. “We have to get more exposure— many people think we only have fish here in Iceland.” Organized by the Sculpture Association, this outdoor exhibition is the third of the Invasion series, after Coastline ’98 and Firma ’99 in nearby locations, and the three shows celebrate the 90-member association’s 25th anniversary.
Located just north of the city’s downtown harbor along a 2,000-meter-long coastal stretch, the site for Coastline 2000 parallels an adjacent road with dramatic views of Mountain Esja across the water in the distance. Sculptures are placed between the water and road and can be experienced by boat, car, bicycle, on foot, or from the window of a passing plane. Exhibited during the long, light-saturated summer days, Coastline 2000 featured 15 sculptures by artists from Iceland, Norway, and Poland.
The exhibition’s objective was to present site-specific works related to the sea, land, and road; shipping; the view of the mountain and its symbolism; the weather as a reference point; and spiritual and historical aspects.
As expected within the context of Icelandic traditions, the content and forms of the sea and shipping emerged in the works to varying degrees. Rosa Gisladottir’s cement Fossilised Future (2000) consists of monumental, stylized impressions of sea life in concrete, playing on their associations as humbling timeless symbols. Gisladottir raises questions about the sea’s future health and what the next 1,000 years will bring.
Using the form of a ship’s steering wheel, Bubbi (otherwise known as Gudbjorn Gunnarsson), presented 360 degrees (2000), which acts as a mechanism framing visual space. Made of Plexiglas, steel, sea water, and antifreeze, the three-meter-high sculpture plays off the sea, land, and horizon line. Nearby, Nidur (2000) by Haraldur Jonsson consisted of a sound sculpture activated by a large industrial pipe positioned above sea level, directing the sounds ashore, a device that refers to the often questionable interventions of mankind and industry.
Dealing more with physical distances and vantage points, Agnieszka Wotodszko from Poland displayed a sculptural piece with sound, drawing on interviews with people from the town of Akranes, which can be seen across the harbor. The artist asked residents about how they view “big city” Reykjavik and its connection to Akranes, with the selections displaying big city/small town rivalries, perspectives, and information gaps. The work illustrates the human impact of physical distances and geography. Similarly, Anna Eyjolfsdottir’s Signaling Coastline (2000) makes land- and sea-based distinctions with 17 ship-signaling flags spelling out Coastline in Icelandic.
Other works addressing land associations include I Have a Dream (2000) by Laila Kongevold from Norway. Distributed on both sides of the road and consisting of various-sized aluminum cutouts of sheep taken from a religious image, the piece literally refers to the dangers of sheep being struck by autos in the Icelandic countryside. More symbolically, Dream also represents the dangers of life in a religious context, with the title’s reference to Martin Luther King, Jr.
Also referring to death on the road, Inga Jonsdottir’s Memento Mori (2000) offers imagery of x-rays relating to human road accident victims in Iceland, while the form refers to the steer at the back of a boat. At 180 centimeters tall, the piece acts as an abstract road sign for passing car traffic.
Meanwhile, Gudjon Ketilsson’s Sunday (2000) uses imagery from “Sunday mornings”— chair, pressed shirt, and shoes— and refers to the artist’s childhood memories of “one’s mind being elsewhere.” Gretar Reynisson’s Length of time (2000) runs along the rock-built sea wall and along the exhibition path. With 59 plastic sign plates distributed every 34 meters, the piece “measures” 2,000 years— expressed in meters, referring to the Christian millennium, the physical space of the site, and the artist-measured symbolic distance, as well as the Icelandic burial crosses that use these plastic signs.
Are there challenges in being a sculptor in Iceland? Anna Eyjolfsdottir mentions concern about equal art opportunities between the sexes, but foremost is isolation. To address this, Icelandic artists study at European and North American art schools and bring back knowledge of other approaches. Despite its relatively small population of less than 300,000, the country may have the world’s highest percentage of artists in its population— and good ones to boot.
For Anna Eyjolfsdottir, “Iceland’s isolation makes things difficult. For example, we’ve never taken an exhibition to New York— not yet. That’s the idea behind taking the sculpture to another country. Maybe we will go abroad with some pieces. To take a boat to… another place.” Eyjolfsdottir hopes that another exhibition— a fourth— will result in taking sculpture on the high seas, on a North Atlantic voyage to, yes, another coastline. | 2019-04-25T18:26:47 | https://www.artdesigncafe.com/reykjavik-iceland-sculpture-2000 |
Ylan Nguyen successfully defended her PhD thesis today in front of a sellout crowd of supporters and her external examiner, Dr. Lisa Craig from Simon Fraser University. Ylan’s work focused on structural and functional characterization of type IV pilins and minor pilins, key components of the grappling hook-like appendages used by Pseudomonas to crawl across surfaces. Ylan has published 3 papers with another ready to go, and held both Cystic Fibrosis Canada and CIHR studentships during her PhD. She will stay on as a PDF in the Burrows lab to wrap up some additional work before moving to her next position. Congratulations Ylan!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 specs are out of the bag! I am VERY excited with what has been revealed, and this all but cinches my next smartphone buying decision.
The size of the Galaxy Note 2 will be the same, but the screen will be stretched to 5.5" diagonally, just like the rumors predicted.
The shape of the device is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 form factor. This makes me happy. Quite happy indeed.
They have managed to make the device thinner, coming in at only 9.3mm. That more than makes up for the large size, in my opinion.
Its got a 1.6GHz quad core cpu and a whopping 2Gb of RAM. That makes this a powerful tablet device that should cut through apps and multitask with ease.
It will be packing a rather large 3100mAh battery, which is probably needed for the jumbo sized Super AMOLED display.
What I am most excited about is the improved S Pen stylus, and the "Air View" functions.
Air View allows you to hover the stylus over certain applications and get a preview without interrupting the current display.
Plus it will allow you to create video preview windows over top of running apps. That will take mobile multitasking to a level never seen before.
There are some other exciting things like the ability to notate pictures on the device, and then share them. Plus, the software will have several new and improved functions.
We'll talk about this and much more soon. But in the meantime, we'll just pray that Apple doesn't find a way to throw a wrench in this gorgeous, beautiful device's future before it hits the shelves.
Do you plan on getting a Galaxy Note 2 phablet, or is this out of your size range? Sound off! | 2019-04-23T15:59:53 | http://www.carltonzone.com/blog/tag/galaxy+note+2+details |

If you’re looking for a unique timepiece with a creative design, then Momo is the brand to go with. These watches are characterized by a creative and sporty feel. The company actually didn’t start out making watches. In the 1980s, it began as a manufacturer of accessories for luxury cars. The name MOMO derives from the Italian racer Giampiero Moretti and the province Monza, which is located in Milan. Momo Design watches didn’t hit the market until some years later. Today, they are very popular among watch enthusiasts and casual wearers both.
One of the reasons why these timepieces stand out is because they are made using non-traditional materials. You will find some made out of magnesium, titanium, carbon fiber, and other unique materials. They tend to have very modern designs, some of which have a sporty appearance. There are also some diver and pilot watches. Men and women will both find many great looking, high-tech watches to choose from.
For women, there are pretty watches available in every color imaginable, from white to hot pink. While many of the pieces are bright and bold, there are some that have a bit of elegance and class. One of the Pilot Lady pieces, for instance, has a white leather strap and a white mother of pearl dial embellished with diamonds.
For men, there are some black and bold Pilot watches. These tend to have either large, square dials or round dials. The stainless steel material used to make some of these watches is black ion plated. On one particular model, the black dial features a minute and hour hand in bright red and matte silver tone. The second hand is entirely bright red.
Another popular watch for men is one with a titanium case that is black-ion plated. It has an interesting geometric design on the black dial. The rubber strap is also black. The markers on the dial and hands are white. This great-looking watch has a clasp with a push button deployment.
One of the most prestigious watches by Momo is the Men’s Pilot XL. This is a limited edition chronograph automatic timepiece with a black rubber strap and titanium case. It costs a bit more than over watches in the series, but it’s worth every dime to any man who favors prestigious name-brand watches that are built to last. The quality of the titanium, rubber, and other materials used in the craftsmanship is outstanding.
That said, all Momo Design watches have something to offer in terms of style and quality. These are, in short, gorgeous pieces that appeal to just about every taste. | 2019-04-26T01:42:05 | https://www.ava360.com/momo-design-watches-review-bold-and-high-tech-watches-crafted-out-of-non-traditional-materials/ |
A parent who removes the child from the state and intends to deny access to the other parent may be guilty of parental kidnapping. More commonly, though, a parent who denies access to the other parent may face charges of custodial interference. Read on to learn more about custodial interference and kidnapping, and what you should do if you are dealing with this situation.
According to the Washington State Code Chapter 9a.40.060, custodial interference in the first degree is when a relative of a minor child takes, detains, retains, or conceals the child with the intent to deny access to a person with legal custodial rights. A person commits custodial interference in the second degree, on the other hand, when the same occurs, but with the intent to deny access to the non-custodial parent who is entitled to visitation rights with the child.
A first-degree charge of custodial interference in Washington is a class C felony. The first second-degree charge is a gross misdemeanor. Subsequent second-degree charges are class C felonies.
A class C felony is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of $10,000. A gross misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment for up to 364 days and/or up to $5,000 in fines.
As a note, kidnapping of the first degree is a class A felony, and kidnapping in the second degree is a class B felony. The former is punishable by at least 20 years and/or a fine of up to $50,000. The latter is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $20,000.
Does Moving a Child Out of State Count as Custodial Interference?
If a parent moved a child out of state without a court order, and the move is an attempt to hide the child or deny another parent his or her visitation rights, then the parent who moves the child may face charges of custodial interference. It is rare for a parent to be charged with kidnapping in a situation such as this. However, you should speak with an attorney if you believe the other parent has committed parental child abduction or kidnapping, or custodial interference.
The laws surrounding child custody in Washington can be confusing. If you believe the other parent has wrongfully denied you access to your child, seek legal help with a family law attorney. In addition to reporting the crime to the police, speak with a family law attorney regarding how you can reclaim custody of your child or enforce other custody or visitation rights.

Are you a Lone Star?
When using digital media to grow your music brand, it’s easy to fall victim to one of the biggest social media marketing fails – going solo with your content. Being in a band or music project does offer up stacks of content opportunities, but the more your story becomes solely about you, the less interesting it becomes for the rest of the internet.
Here are some good guidelines for creating meaningful content which connects to your brand and avoids the death knell of self-indulgence.
Chances are, your audience is going to worship the same music legends you do. Connect with them over a bit of hero worship from time to time.
Promoting artists who are essentially competing for the same airtime as you may seem counter-intuitive. But being generous with your fellow musicians by chucking a page share on your timeline here and there shows confidence in your own brand and allows you to develop a positive association with their audience as well.
Put more IRL (In Real Life) in your URL! Pics or video of you and your crew attending your local venues, art hangs or beloved dive bar sets a good example to motivate your audience to get out amongst it too. Fans can relate way more to being a punter than playing on the stage, so seeing you as one of them makes you more accessible, on their level – and human! (This satirical piece from The Onion kinda upholds the point in an Onion kinda way).
The added bonus is that you can tag venues, other bands and music associations in your posts, promoting your community and your involvement in it without it coming off as self-promotion.
Don’t be afraid to use your platform to have a social conscience. The depth and breadth of your input here will depend on what is in line with your brand, but it is certain that your loyalty to human rights will gain more favour than it could do harm.
Have you seen internet? It is hilarious! Nothing makes us feel sharier than fun videos which bring together the elements we love. And cats. And dogs, And kids singing death metal.
In general a 70/30 rule is good to observe most of the time. It then allows you to do the occasional short term campaigning without coming off as a self-indulgent-poser-jerk. You will have earned the favour. | 2019-04-22T06:17:01 | https://doremedia.com.au/growing_your_music_brand/ |
Climate change is an ever-increasing focus of corporate, social and political discourse, and, not coincidentally, we are starting to see a rise, and a pivot, in litigation connected to climate change.
The first wave of climate change litigation in Australia focussed on approvals for developments of fossil-fuel projects. Now, a second wave is being added, seeking to force companies directly and indirectly affected by climate change risks (including the transitions needed to mitigate them) to assess and report on those risks.
A third wave, not yet seen in Australia, is likely to come. In that wave, investors will seek to recover their losses from directors, auditors and advisers who have not confronted climate change risks. Separately, communities most affected by climate change are likely to litigate to try to force action by government and the largest emitters, and to seek damages from those they think might be held responsible for contribution, inaction, and obfuscation.
In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the latest in its series of authoritative reports relating to the impacts of climate change. This particular report was focussed on the impacts of global warming of 1.5�C above pre-industrial levels.1 It reinforced earlier views expressed by the IPCC and others as to the importance of taking steps to limit warming to 1.5�C, but also of the significant impact that even that level of warming is likely to have.
It said that keeping the increase to an average of 1.5�C would require rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land-use, infrastructure and industrial systems, and that the transitions required would be unprecedented in terms of scale, even if not speed.
One of the products of climate change, already starting to be felt in Australia, is an increase in extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, and more frequent or intense floods, droughts, bushfires and storms. In rural and regional communities some of those impacts are already pronounced. And in coastal Australia, the changes will be compounded by rising sea levels requiring the taking of local action for prevention and mitigation.
AN UPTICK IN CLIMATE CHANGE LITIGATION IN AUSTRALIA?
There has been a recognition that Australia needs to participate in global efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change, but disagreement about how best to do that (and how much to do). In the meantime, companies are increasingly taking the lead, in recognition of the risks to their own businesses, and often in the face of pressure from shareholder groups and other activists.
Against that background it is perhaps no surprise that predictions are starting to flow of an uptick in litigation in Australia related to climate change.
While the types of matters dealt with in the first wave of climate change litigation in Australia are unlikely to fall away, a second, different, wave has begun to break, and more will follow.
The types of matters which have been, and will be litigated, fall into four broad categories.
The first wave of climate change litigation to be seen in Australia concerned challenges to decisions by governments and other regulatory bodies to approve projects and developments which may have significant direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions. The most obvious of these are projects such as coal mines, coal-fired power stations and gas exploration.
Challenges of this type are ongoing, and recent examples have arisen in the context of the proposed Adani Carmichael mine in Queensland2, and the recent Rocky Hill Coal Project in NSW � we discuss the outcome of the litigation about that project here.
The sorts of principles which are currently being relied upon to oppose new coal mines may, over time, be called in support of litigation challenging those types of projects � particularly if there is a perception that regulation and decision-makers haven't kept up with the need for those developments to be managed in a way that minimises net greenhouse gas emissions.
It is virtually certain that risks associated with climate change will have significant and sometimes profound negative impacts on a wide range of industries and businesses, and that investors in those businesses will suffer financial losses as a result.
It also seems fairly predictable that where investors consider that they have suffered those losses unexpectedly, because of inadequate management or disclosure of climate change risks, they will be looking to see whether they can recover those losses from the individuals and entities who controlled or advised the company.
Consequently, a second area in which climate change litigation has already taken root, and can be expected to grow quickly, is litigation over decision-making and disclosures concerning climate change risks by (particularly, but not exclusively) listed public companies.
failure to appropriately value a company's assets and investments, taking into account those risks.
Physical risks � physical impacts of climate change, which can be acute - such as risks derived from extreme weather events - or chronic � referable to longer term shifts in climate patterns, leading to, for instance, sea level rises or chronic heat waves.
In October 2016, the Centre for Policy Development published an opinion that it had received from Noel Hutley SC on the extent to which the law permits or requires directors of Australian companies to respond to climate change risks. Mr Hutley SC expressed the view that company directors who failed to consider climate change risks now could be found liable for breaching their duty of care and diligence in the future.
An update to the advice was provided by Mr Hutley SC on 29 March 2019. He noted that there is a profound and accelerating shift in the way that Australian regulators, companies and the public perceive climate risk.
It is clear that ASIC agrees that boards should be looking at these issues. In a September 2018 report, it suggested that directors and senior managers of listed companies need to understand and continually reassess existing and emerging risks to a company's business, both immediate and long-term, including climate risk.
Perhaps just as important as considering the risks and opportunities associated with climate change is, for listed entities, the disclosure of those assessments to the market.
In 2016, the G20 Financial Stability Board set up a Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures. The Taskforce issued a report in June 2018 which set out a recommended framework for voluntary, consistent climate-related financial disclosures. The recommendations were aimed not only at industries which would be directly affected by climate change, but at financial sector organisations exposed to those industries � such as banks, insurance companies and asset managers.
In its September 2018 report, ASIC also supported those recommendations for Australian listed companies with material exposure to climate risk. ASIC went on to recommend that listed companies consider disclosing climate risk separately to other risk categories, and focus on ensuring the disclosures are sufficiently clear and specific.
It also said that it considered that the law requires the directors' report, within a listed entity's annual report, to include a discussion of climate risk when it could affect the entity's achievement of its financial performance or disclosed outcomes. Similar considerations would be required for prospectuses.
At present, the litigation related to these types of issues is primarily driven by a desire to raise awareness, and improve corporate responsiveness, to climate change risks. Thus, the relief sought has been declarations and injunctions, rather than damages. For instance, a case has been brought against the large industry super fund, REST, by one of its members, seeking (at least initially) declarations that REST has breached the Corporations Act, and its equitable obligations, by failing to hand over information requested by the member about the implications of climate change risks, and an injunction requiring it to provide that information.
Similarly, an earlier case was brought against the Commonwealth Bank by shareholders who sought declarations that the Bank had breached the Corporations Act by failing adequately to disclose climate change risks in its 2016 annual report. That case was reportedly withdrawn after the Bank committed in its 2017 annual report to undertaking climate change scenario analysis.
As time passes, however, and as climate change starts to affect the value of companies, and investors suffer losses, it seems inevitable that plaintiffs will begin to claim damages for these types of breaches by companies and their directors. Those claims might attract the interest of litigation funders, and come in the form of securities class actions.
Another development which has started internationally and been predicted to grow,4 but is yet to occur in Australia, is litigation against entities which are the source of the greatest direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
Like climate change litigation linked to corporate obligations, litigation of this type might initially be focussed not on the recovery of damages, but on injunctions preventing emissions which might contribute in a significant way to further global warming, and the physical impacts associated with it. While a range of potential plaintiffs might pursue this type of action, it seems likely to be taken by those most exposed to physical impacts of climate change � such as coastal communities affected by rising sea levels, or regional communities exposed to devastation by repeats of extreme weather events.
One major difficulty plaintiffs have faced is demonstrating that particular harm that might be suffered by them has been caused, or contributed to meaningfully, by any particular entity. However, in recent times studies have emerged, in peer-reviewed journals, of the proportion of CO2 emissions produced by what have been described as the 'Carbon Majors' � that is, the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters since industrialisation. Those studies have, interestingly, also sought to identify the proportion of those emissions produced in the last 30 years.
In addition, there have been rapid developments in climate change attribution research, which seem likely to assist in tracing particular weather events to climatic developments associated with greenhouse gas emissions. The combination of that science with the identification of the most significant past and present emitters may permit Courts to conclude that particular emitters have contributed, in some proportion, to a particular harm, or to a harm which is threatened.
These types of claims don't depend on companies having a general and ongoing duty to take into account their impact on environment. Nor do they depend on an obligation of directors to act in the interests of stakeholders other than shareholders, or to protect a company's standing in the community. But if corporate law develops further in those directions, then combined with the "stepping stone" approach to liability, the scope for litigation against companies contributing significantly to climate change, and against their directors, will increase.
A further possibility is that claims will be brought connected with misleading conduct in the case of major emitters if they are found to have recognised the risks of climate change (and their contribution to it) some time ago, but have actively taken steps to undermine public recognition of or belief in it, thereby contributing to delay in responding to the risks. Litigation of this type has started to emerge in the US, with local government as the plaintiffs.
A final class of climate change litigation which has emerged overseas, but not yet in Australia, consists of challenges to government inaction on climate change, or to government support for industries contributing to climate change.
Again, these claims initially involve applications for mandatory injunctive relief, or declarations of obligation, but could potentially expand over time into claims for damages.
Internationally, the leading claim of this type to date has been the Urgenda litigation6 in the Netherlands. In that case a Dutch NGO succeeded (at first instance and on appeal) in arguing that the Netherlands Government had breached its duty of care to the Dutch people by not taking sufficient steps to set and meet targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate change. The relief ordered was that the Netherlands reduce emissions by at least 25% by the end of 2020, relative to 1990 levels. While the Government has agreed to comply with the ruling, as a matter of principle it has foreshadowed a further appeal.
The legal basis for the claim was that the Government had a duty to safeguard the protection and improvement of the living environment. That duty arose from a combination of tort law and international obligations to which the Netherlands had signed up.
A lot of attention has also been given to the survival (so far) of the Juliana case7 in the US in the face of various motions by the US Government to delay or dismiss it.
In the Juliana case a group of young people have brought an action against the US and various heads of US agencies alleging that, among other things, their policies on fossil fuels fail to satisfy their obligations to hold certain essential resources in trust for the benefit of all US citizens (this is described as the 'public trust doctrine'). They seek declarations, injunctions restraining particular conduct, and mandatory injunctions requiring, for instance, implementation of a remedial plan to phase out fossil fuel emissions. An interlocutory appeal, which may determine whether the case is able to go to trial, is expected to be heard shortly.
In Australia it is far from clear that actions equivalent to Urgenda or Juliana could successfully be pursued, but it is certain that they are being contemplated8. If the warnings about the impacts of climate change continue to intensify, and there is a sense that the action taken by the Government is inadequate in its scope or speed, litigation of this type may well be attempted.
Moreover, to the extent that governments make decisions (or implement policies) which seem to support ongoing or increasing emissions by industries or entities which contribute meaningfully to Australia's overall level of emissions, these types of actions may be taken against both governments, and the beneficiaries of those policies, in an attempt to thwart their implementation.
claims seeking to force governments and significant emitters to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
These litigation risks � for entities, their supply chains, and their markets � and how they can be mitigated, will be important factors to assess when companies examine their exposure to climate change risks more broadly.

Below is the CloseYourOwnLoan.com “Lock-in Confirmation” with a 4.375% rate and no points. My clients moved their refi from Provident Bank Mortgage after they increased the 4.5% quoted rate to 4.75% while FNMA rates stayed the same.
The rate would be LOWER if we had 740+ middle FICO scores, agreed to impounds and didn’t have an 80% LTV CASH-OUT refi.
Note that if rates go DOWN, you will get the HIGHER locked rate.
Here we got a 30-day lock and if you want your rate to float, you can always wait to lock until you’re ready. In this case, we wanted to ensure we got the 4.375% rate with no points and no impounds.
CloseYourOwnLoan.com is playing the market with their “reserved” rate and they count on rates not increasing by very much during those 48 hours. They quote with a large enough profit so that they’ll still make money on the loan even if rates go up.
And since the loan has to be APPROVED prior to locking, they usually have the option to require one more piece of paper to get approval — a good way to get the 48 hours to expire without approval and the “reserved” rate expires.
If the rates go down, you’ll get the “reserved” rate unless you renegotiate and they’ll pocket the extra profit. They will NOT automatically lower the rate to market. You also CAN let the 48 hour reserved rate expire. You can’t lose by reserving a rate as you are not committed, but they are (provided your loan is approved). If you have time to play the market, that’s the place to go. Make sure you have ALL your documentation ready so you can fax or email it right away.
I would prefer to NOT play games and instead deal with a broker who discloses his fees upfront and provides the wholesale rate sheet so the borrowers can make EDUCATED decisions.
They did NOT provide the lowest quote, so don’t be deceived by their marketing. We decided to go with them because they made a mistake during the initial quote (the rate would have been 4.5% if they hadn’t made a mistake). They honored the initial quote, probably because they were aware that I was going to publish our experiences at this new blog.
Once you locked your loan, you’re almost there — provided that the property appraises and the lender doesn’t come up with NEW conditions and discovers previously overlooked problems.

I got to go to the beach today, and though I didn’t actually get to stay all that long, or even really just sit and enjoy it…I am glad that I went. I really needed that simple bit of Ahhhhh!!!
We went somewhere we’d never gone before, and though it was still a bit chilly, and the water was freezing, it was nice to let it wash up over my feet. There were a lot of really great shells there and I managed to bring back a handful that will make really great amulets (natural made holes and all if I want to put them on a ribbon). What I found really interesting though, was that all along the beach were these wonderful, flat stones. Honest to goodness river stones, except that we were on the beach…I’ve never seen anything like it. So of course I picked up a pile of those as well, and have plans to go back later in the summer to see what other natural goodies I can pick up. | 2019-04-18T22:25:28 | https://practicalpaganism.wordpress.com/2009/03/ |
My name is Meadow Caya. I started Cake Betty in November 2014, after working in the restaurant industry for over a decade. One of my daughters has strict dietary requirements; this, combined with a love of baking lead me to discover and invent some great recipes. I have now compiled many unique recipes free of gluten and dairy, and have sourced local, organic ingredients depending on your needs and budget.
My favourite part of creating cakes is the final, decorative stage, when I get to be my most creative. I have become adept in fondant sculpture and airbrush techniques, and always welcome the artistic challenge of creating a beautiful and edible work of art!
I love the fact I never make the same cake twice, and welcome any request to challenge and further my skills. Often a cake is the centerpiece of a special occasion, and I have enjoyed seeing my creations in the midst of some great parties over the past year! In addition to cakes ordered by the public,and wholesale products to local cafes, I have been honoured to make cakes and cupcakes for Community Futures, Kootenay Co-op Radio, Nelson’s Women Centre, the MS Society, and The Osprey Foundation. I also won “Best Desserts In Nelson 2015”, competing against over 15 local businesses, at the 2015 Taste Of Nelson Gala!
Thanks to everyone for their support in my first year of business, I look forward to making more amazing creations for you all in 2016! | 2019-04-18T20:46:50 | https://cakebetty.ca/about/ |

Article intended for experienced users (powerusers) only.
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside of the industry due to its fast readability and comparatively large storage capacity. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. It was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
Although initially used to track parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR codes are now used over a much wider range of applications, including commercial tracking, entertainment and transport ticketing, product marketing and in-store product labeling. Many of these applications target mobile-phone users (via mobile tagging). Users may receive text, add a vCard contact to their device, open a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), or compose an e-mail or text message after scanning QR codes.
They can generate and print their own QR codes for others to scan and use by visiting one of several pay or free QR code-generating sites or apps. Apps for scanning QR codes can be found on nearly all smartphone devices. QR codes storing addresses and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) may appear in magazines, on signs, on buses, on business cards, or on almost any object about which users might need information.
Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the telephone's browser. This act of linking from physical world objects is termed hardlinking or object hyperlinking.
Why would I want to use a QR Code & where would I put it?
You may wish to use a QR code to link from an invoice or letter, to your website - or from your brochure / business card to a vCard. QR Codes can also be used to display a text message with a secret codeword, discount offer or similar. You could place different QR codes on your business cards, brochures, on the footer of your invoice, on your trailer signage, etc.
Visit one of the many free QR Code generation websites; we recommend this one. Use the tools provided to create your QR Code; be it a link, vCard, text message, etc.
When done, generate your QR Code and save the resulting image.
View the QR Code in an image program on your computer, and 'Copy' it that that it's on the clipboard.
Switch over to StorMan, and select Maintenance then Letter Graphics.
The Letter Graphics section will now open. At the top, you will see 5 different tabs. In most cases, Picture 1 is used for your logo, so click across to Picture 2. If you already have an image in this field, you may wish to select the next tab - until you find a tab with no images contained within.
Once you've found a blank tab to use, click anywhere in the background area; it should turn black. Now press CTRL+ V (on PC) or COMMAND + V (on Mac) to 'Paste' the image from the computer's clipboard into the space provided on screen. You should see your image within the background area now. This is the size at which your image or logo will appear within any documents you include it on, in StorMan... so if it's too big (or too small), make adjustments to the size of the image using the image editing software on your computer.
Click OK to save & close Letter Graphics. You have now added your QR Code into Letter Graphics, which you can now reference from invoices or letters (aka notices) in StorMan.

I will be adding more states once I go through them and make any corrections or updates. I have them all, so it won't take too long to do it. I also have a LOT of digital books on the war which includes rosters. You will find that a LOT of the states' units have "pictures" of rosters taken from these digital books. They are all in a PDF format of which a picture can be taken from any of the pages. I have done this which is saving me a LOT of time adding the rosters instead of typing each line.

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, your use of (including any access to) the Site (including all Transactions) and all related matters, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury and you agree that Company and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury.

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator.

All event professionals are creative individuals and we can tend feel stuck from time to time. It happens to all of us. It seems the more you push yourself to think creatively, the less successful you are at it. Luckily there are some things you can do to help remove that creative block. Here are some ways to get that tap of creativity flowing again.
This article was originally published on EventMB & reprinted here with permission.
One of the first things I do when I fall into a creative rut is get re-organized. Ok, I actually clean my desk. Since we work long hours and often on many things at once, we can tend to get behind on properly filing or putting away things when we are done with them. The buildup of clutter on your desk or in your office can also create clutter in your head, preventing you from thinking clearly.
If you’ve organized your space, but you still feel out of sorts, change your physical location. Get out of your ‘comfortable’ office space or work area and try a new place to work. Try a conference room in the building or a coffee house down the street. If you work from home, move from your home office to the kitchen or even outside to the porch. If you are traveling and not having much luck working in your hotel room, go to the lobby. Sometimes the rustle of activity can stimulate your brain and get you back on track.
Take a shower. Ok, so this may not work for everyone, but it is great for those that work from home. It’s a good way to wash off those shorter creative ruts. For me, this is a great way to break up my day. After I’ve been in a good groove for a while and feel my focus slipping, I take a break for a nice shower. It wakes me up, refreshes me, and actually clears my mind. Ever wonder why you get good ideas in the shower? According to research, doing a mindless everyday task like showering, frees up our subconscious to think more creatively.
If you aren’t getting enough sleep, you will not be at your best, especially when it comes to creativity and being productive. Whether it is a full eight hours or just a quick nap in the afternoon, sleep is extremely important. It keeps you alert, happy, creative, and healthy. Be sure to set your schedule to allow for a good night's sleep as often as possible.
DIY! As event planners, we tend to be crafty and creative by nature. If you are stuck in a rut, find a craft or project to work on. By working on something different, it will give your brain a break, while still allowing you to enjoy yourself. If you are able to finish the project, you can also get an extra boost of motivation by feeling productive!
Whether you are able to escape to a secluded destination or give yourself a simple staycation, take some time to step away from your never-ending to do lists. While on this break, take time to notice more of the world around you. Take note of small details in nature or in architecture. It’s ok to not work sometimes. By stepping away and clearing your mind, you can give yourself a chance to focus your energy and recharge your creative batteries.
As we know, exercise should play an important part of your life. You don't have to become a gym rat, but being active should be part of your daily routine. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Take a quick walk around the building. If you've been at your computer all day and feel drained, get up and get your body moving for a few minutes. You may just find your brain gets moving, too!
Another way to increase endorphins is by playing games. Games can help you to relax and recharge. Whether it is a game on your phone or a board game with friends or family, playing games can provide you the needed escape and break from the creative rut. Gaming can help your brain think differently. It is also a great excuse to spend time with your family!
If you have a hobby that you never seem to have time for, this is a perfect time to pick it up again and step away from the constant creative pressures of your to do list. Ironically, though, this gives you a chance to actually finish something, as you probably do not ever get to cross this “fun” activity off of your list!
I enjoy learning new things whenever I can. I have found that by learning and studying something new, it gives me different perspectives and helps me get “un-stuck.” There are many choices for free online courses including webinars offered by Event Manager Blog. Attending a conference or a chapter meeting of an industry organization can provide you with new information that could help you think differently. You could also consider learning a skill not associated with being an event professional. Have you always wanted to learn a new language or how to do some basic coding? This could be a great excuse to start!
Getting together with individuals in your industry can also give you a creativity boost. It doesn’t have to be anything formal. Gather some industry friends for coffee or drinks after after work. Ask questions about projects that they are working on. Listen and ask questions about some of the issues they may be having. Maybe by brainstorming solutions to issues together, it will help you to think differently about a project you are working on. They may also have great advice for you as well! Besides that, who doesn’t like hanging out with friends?
A great way to get creative juices flowing is to volunteer. By volunteering, I’m not saying you should jump in and volunteer to chair an event for a non-profit. Depending on your workload, that type of volunteering could create a whole new type of problem trying to avoid burnout. However, volunteering in a small role at an event could help you to see how other event professionals do things and may spark some ideas for you. Perhaps you could help at a registration desk, or help monitor a silent auction. Try volunteering for a type of event you don’t usually plan. If you do galas and conferences, try volunteering at a 5K race or other sporting event.
Our Industry peers can also inspire us. Take a look around at some of the things other #eventprofs are doing. If you receive print or digital magazines, browse through the wonderful photos of exciting events and interesting destinations. Another great place to look is Pinterest or Instagram. By searching the #EventProfs hashtag on Instagram, you can also immediately come up with inspiring images.
Being an #eventprof is a wonderfully creative life! Every once in a while, though, everyone needs a mental break. Whether it is cleaning your house, playing a game, or exercising, finding the best way that works for you to recharge yourself is crucial to have continued success. | 2019-04-21T02:32:26 | https://powereventgroup.com/14-ways-event-professionals-can-crush-a-creative-rut |
The Bed & Breakfast Casa in Laguna is where the real Venice lives and breathes.
It is situated in a lovely area still inhabited by genuine Venetians and has a unique atmosphere. Here, from the balcony of your room, you can admire the unspoiled magic of the canals and enjoy a spectacular view of the lagoon.
The B&B is only a few minutes away from Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo where you can visit the largest church in Venice (the "Pantheon" of the Doges), and admire the splendid façade of St. Mark's Scuola Grande, now the Hospital. The square is dominated by the Colleoni monument, a superb equestrian sculpture by Verrocchio. Only a steps away is the Miracoli Church, precious heirloom of the Renaissance, which can take you back to one of the finest periods of Venetian history.
A short walk will bring you to St Mark's square or the Rialto Bridge, and the B&B is also very near to the Fondamente Nove boat stop from where you can find all the boat connections to Murano, Burano, Torcello and the Lido.
The B&B is close to the Arsenale of Venice and is not far to the Giardini della Biennale where you find the famous International Art Exhibition.
The rooms at the Casa in Laguna are spacious, refined and elegantly furnished, and a hearty continental breakfast to add to the comfort of your stay. | 2019-04-25T17:48:29 | http://www.casalaguna.it/Info-ing.htm |

Considering a purchase of Webroot Secure Anywhere while I use the short 14 day trial. I don't want the "web shield" so I turn it off. I know it's off and that is ok with me. However when I open Webroot or look at it in the taskbar/notification area I see an exclamation mark and webroot warns me it's disabled. Another quick suggestion, maybe increase to at least a 30 day trial like other programs. Still not sure if I'm going to purchase yet.
Thank you for the request, @User46 and will take this into consideration. | 2019-04-20T02:22:12 | https://community.webroot.com/got-an-idea-29/option-to-accept-that-shields-disabled-320072 |
