Thanks to Michael H. Samuelson, author and founding CEO of The Health & Wellness Institute, for allowing us to share his 5th observation from his eBook, " Wellness in the Workplace 2.0: 10 Key Observations from 35 Years in the Field." His current title is one we love, "Chief Irritant." Let’s be honest. It’s much easier—and certainly safer—to sit back, complain, and wait for others to take action than it is to do something. That is, of course, unless you have passion, commitment, laser determination and God on your side.
Well, actually, skip that last one. She’ is on everyone’s side. At least that’s the pitch that supports the military-industrial complex (we should have listened to Ike) and looks nice on all of the banners.
Let’s just stick with passion, commitment and laser determination. When these three driving forces are present you can’t sit still, you can’t wait for someone else, and you can’t shut up. You stir and spit, shout and stomp your feet. You seize the torch that has been passed to you and your generation.
You are Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. You take the crown out of the Pope’s hands and you crown yourself. Time is fleeting, daylight is burning, there are causes to advance and worlds to conquer!
"Emperor" too much? Okay. How about CI? Chief Irritant. You are the sand that produces the nacre that builds the pearl. So, let someone else sit back, complain, and wait for others to take action...just below the surface there are pearls in-waiting and you are the irritant that makes it all happen.
Sophocles was right, “No one loves the messenger who brings bad news." As I have stated before, there are times when the boon, the prize, the newly found wisdom you bring to “fix things” is rejected. No matter the treasure, it is still disruptive in a world that knows not, or little, of its existence or value. What you may view as “The Answer” may well be viewed by others — particularly those in control — as the newest problem (read: YOU) to be dealt with, swiftly. | 2019-04-22T22:12:07 | https://www.rebelsatwork.com/blog/tag/Chief+Irritant |

Seaside auto insurance can be found at affordable rates through the free quote form on CarInsurance.info. Seaside's 34,214 residents can save up to 30% on their annual insurance premiums when they take advantage of CarInsurance.info's industry connections. These savings are possible by eliminating the middle man between you and your auto insurer. To get the best quotes possible from State Farm and Progressive, you should delve deeper into the auto insurance information available on CarInsurance.info.
Your future auto insurer will determine your annual premium by looking first at your level of risk. The easiest way for insurance adjusters to determine your risk of getting into a major accident is by looking at your driving record. Seaside drivers who have received DUIs, speeding tickets, and other violations receive higher premiums to offset future reimbursements and payments. If you have not been in an accident in the last three years, you qualify for a 20% premium discount under California's "good driver" law. This discount is available when you disclose your driving history to prospective employers on CarInsurance.info.
Another factor used by your auto insurer to determine premiums is the relative safety of an applicant's vehicle. Every vehicle sold in the United States has basic safety features like driver-side air bags and safety belts that are taken for granted by insurance adjusters. Auto insurers look positively on Seaside drivers with curtain air bags and traction control systems. These safety features diminish damage from auto accidents on Eucalyptus Road and Highway 1 in Seaside. Your use of a car alarm system and locked garage can also drive down your Seaside auto insurance on CarInsurance.info.
Auto insurers also look at your vehicle make and model when calculating premiums for Seaside car insurance policies. Every insurance company increases premiums for late model cars as well as sportier vehicles to prevent losses from insurance claims. Every car, truck, and wagon produced before 1989 can be covered adequately with collision coverage because of the diminished values of these vehicles. On the flip side, your new crossover or SUV requires comprehensive and collision coverage to cover full repairs and losses during accidents.
While Seaside auto insurance can be confusing, CarInsurance.info makes the purchasing process simple. You can gather multiple quotes from Seaside insurers like AIG, State Farm, Farmers, and Allstate without walking away from your computer. Instead of settling for the most expensive policy, CarInsurance.info paves the way for your ideal Seaside auto insurance. | 2019-04-21T08:51:30 | http://www.carinsurance.info/Seaside_CA_Auto_Insurance |
The Kulanu party has agreed to merge with Likud and cease being an independent party, according to Israeli media reports.
Labour leader Avi Gabbay rejected calls for him to resign last night, insisting that he would be sworn in as an MK in the new Knesset and would continue to serve the public from the opposition. Rumours were circulating that both Itzik Shmuli and Stav Shaffir would compete for the leadership of the party with Amir Peretz as temporary leader if Gabbay were to resign. Tal Russo, number two on the Labour list, was reportedly considering not taking up his Knesset seat if Gabbay were to remain as the party’s leader. Gabbay said that he would consult with his party MKs on next steps for Labour, including holding primaries.
Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official, said Israelis had: “Overwhelmingly voted for candidates that are unequivocally committed to entrenching the status quo of oppression, occupation, annexation and dispossession in Palestine”. | 2019-04-20T10:54:26 | http://www.bicom.org.uk/news/kulanu-to-merge-with-likud/ |

The new First Recharge (FRC) pack of Rs. 351 has allegedly been launched offering a validity of 56 days, and includes calling and SMS benefits only. This pack doesn’t provide any information advantage, and is just reside and applicable to all new readers of Vodafone. The telecom operator is also offering unlimited calling benefits with this program with no FUP limit, only like Reliance Jio.
The newest Vodafone FRC Rs. 351 prepaid recharge includes unlimited calling without any FUP limit, and 100 SMS messages every day for a validity of 56 days. This package does not come with any data advantage and new readers will need to buy a data pack separately. Details of this new pack was reported by Telecom Chat, along with the report notes that the price of this prepaid recharge could change with every circle. The pack reportedly also includes complimentary Vodafone Play subscription. It’s unclear when exactly Vodafone started supplying the Rs 351 FRC, but it appears to have been available to the customers since December 2018.
The lack of information benefit is a disappointment because all of its other FRC packs come with daily information advantages. The Rs. 176 pack comes with 28 days legitimacy, unlimited calling, 1GB information benefit, and 100 SMS messages per day. Similarly, the Rs. 229 package comes with unlimited calling, 1GB information every day, and 100 SMS messages per day to get a validity of 28 days. Additionally, there are the Rs. 496 and Rs. 555 prepaid recharges that offer unlimited calling, 1.4GB of daily information, and 100 SMS every day. The validity of these plans is 84 days and 90 days respectively.
The pack offers 1.5GB 4G/ 3G information per day, so a total of 547.5GB for its course of its 365 days validity. Additionally, it offers its readers unlimited local, STD, and roaming calls in addition to 100 SMS messages per day for the entire 365-day validity. | 2019-04-19T11:07:58 | https://www.carrquest.com/vodafone-rs-351-prepaid-recharge-offers-unlimited-calling-to-new-customers-for-56-days-report/ |
If someone tells you something is not negotiable, he or she is already negotiating. Gear up and negotiate back. Commissions, server costs, consultancy costs, per hour fees, bandwidth costs, software costs, marketing costs, conference ticket prices and contracts: they are all negotiable. In fact, everything is negotiable. Hotel prices (is breakfast included? how about a special rate just this once?), restaurants that are “fully booked”, but also procurement departments. Get over the feeling that you will be regarded as cheap, or impolite, or a jerk – people usually don’t care all that much about you. Negotiating is not “cheap”, it’s fun and useful, and it can save you thousands of euros.
The same goes for asking a favor. You’re a startup: you need favors. Without some people giving you a break, you just won’t make it. Swallow your pride and say: can you do me a favor? Journalists are nowhere without favors: they usually call people that are dealing with some sort of crisis.
A good excercise to discover the power of the second favor is this: go ask for directions in the street. Then, when people told you where to go, ask if they can also buy you coffee. Try it. It’s wonderfully liberating. The best way is to use the word “because”.
Research shows that just by using the word “because”, you increase your chances of getting the favor by a factor three. The experiment they did was having people ask if they could cut the line. Saying: “Can I cut the line” was generally not successful. But when the test subjects asked “Can I cut the line because I’d like to go first” on the other hand was successful about half the time. The information in both sentences is exactly the same. So say: “Can you also buy me coffee, because I’d really like some coffee“.
This is what being a reporter is: you get people to give you information that they don’t want to give. Then, you ask them to send the e-mails proving this information. Then, you ask them to give up their anonymity. Then, you confront their boss with the e-mails they forwarded you. Next, you put them on the front page. It’s death by favors. As an entrepreneur, you’re in exactly the same position.
This is advice from Sun Tzu: “build a golden bridge for your enemy”. You must never, ever back people into a corner that they can’t get out of. Always make sure that when you have a difference of opinion, there is a face saving way for the other party to retreat from its position. Don’t gloat when they do retreat. It might feel good, but it’s not a winning strategy in the long term.
Getting them out of their initial position is only half the battle – you also want them to give you something in the end, and that’s what you should concentrate on. Not the ego boost. You should continue your conversation matter of factly and try to reach your goals (the scoop in the case of a reporter, a signed deal when you’re an entrepreneur).
I managed to secure interviews for Whiteboard with Martin Varsavsky (who is probably a billionnaire and has a handful of companies to run, a few of them publicly listed) and Guillaume Lautour (VC managing 800 million in funds) before so much as a single pixel of Whiteboard was online (I think I didn’t even have a name for the project back then). I love hustling like that. Somebody recently told me: ‘you should be in sales’. Guess what: I AM in sales.
Being a journalist is about selling yourself: showing confidence, building a deep connection to sources in the shortest possible time – from the moment they pick up the phone, you have about 30 seconds to “hook” them. My personal hero David Simon writes about homicide detectives that “they are in the business of selling long prison sentences to a population that has no need for long prison sentences“.
For me, that quote has always been an inspiration. If those detectives can make that kind of sale, why shouldn’t I be able to sell an interview?
Favors are a currency, and generally, you should return favors. Unfortunately, sometimes you just honestly can’t return the favor. Here too, you should build a golden bridge – for yourself.
You must learn to convincingly tell people “no”. Because if you’re not convincing, they will think you’re negotiating and push you – this is dangerous for your relationship. Because when they discover that your no is a definitive no and not a negotiation tactic, they will feel like they lost face – like somehow you tricked them into thinking you were negotiating, when you really weren’t. Saying no gracefully but firmly is a very important skill.
Even though as a starting entrepreneur, you might have the feeling that the world is big, it is not. In “Six Degrees”, a groundbreaking work about human networks, it’s made explicitly clear that our world is a “small world”. People generally think that the world is big, the author writes, because they can’t see beyond their own relatively limited network. If you could stand on your own shoulders to see beyond your own network, you would notice how small the world really is. This means that you can’t afford to be dishonest. Ever.
You can hustle, and try to outsmart and outthink the other guys, but you can’t lie or cheat, because your reputation will suffer. I’ve heard quite a few times from sources that they had ‘done their homework’ on me – calling colleagues at rivalling newspapers or magazines.
Every industry has a few super networkers who know everybody. They make it their job to know everybody – and they’re the stock exchange for reputations. Rest assured that people do call them to ask how your stock is doing lately. If you get caught cheating, word will get around, and you’re a zombie: you’re dead, but you don’t know it.
One last thing I learned. I once wrote an article about people who go dumpster diving – either because they can’t pay for food or because they want to make a stand against food waste. I’m usually very particular about food. But that day, I was rummaging in a slime, grime and mould covered dumpster with a vengeance. I took minced meat out of it, that was well past its sell date and surrounded by unsellable chickens that were blueish green. And I made a bolognaise sauce from that meat and ate it – and followed it up with some oranges that were next to the chicken. Lovely meal.
As I walked home with my dumpster diving buddy for the day, I thought: well, there’s not much anyone can do to me now. It was a realisation that even if I had nothing left – I could still survive by going dumpster diving. It was a deeply powerful emotion. My partner for the day said: it’s the thrill of the hunt you’re feeling.
And he said: It’s like the dogs.
He said his dogs would bark at other dogs who tried to steal their food, but in the end – when the other dog managed to steal it, they would respect that. What we were feeling, he said, was the feeling of being that dog who just takes the food, despite the barking.
Whiteboard isn’t profitable by a long shot – not even ramen profitable. But somewhere, there’s this same feeling running in my veins: that satisfying, low, humming sound of being self reliant. | 2019-04-25T12:42:40 | http://www.whiteboardmag.com/investigative-reporting-lifehacks-entrepreneur/ |

A website address (see below) about the article in the Star News, Elk River, MN. was sent to the Fulops via e-mail by a friend, Nicolas Cseszneky-Milvanyi from London, England. It was interesting to see, how news have been getting circulated everywhere and learn about the timing of the book signing event on an Internet-based communication. Betty Bodnár-Belanger had been encouraged by Dr.Juliánna Puskás†, a well known Hungarian historian years earlier to compile and publish a book about the history of the significant number of Hungarian inhabitants in Elk River and area community.
Betty a second generation Hungarian-American is not only a notable member of the Elk River community, but also a former Board Member of the Minnesota Hungarians organization. She has worked for many years researching public records on birth, marriage and decease of Hungarian immigrants; interviewing descendents of Hungarian settlers, collecting photographs, weaving together stories of immigrants with Elk River’s past.
Betty speaks Hungarian fluently and she is a talented artist making beautiful and authentic Hungarian embroideries. Over the years she participated as an embroidery & artifacts demonstrator numerous times at the Festival of Nations event in St. Paul, MN.
At the Elk River Activity Center about 40 people sat around listening to Betty. The Mayor of Elk River, Stephanie Klinzing greeted Betty and the audience. In her remarks she emphasized the importance of Hungarian settlers and dairy farmers in an area often referred to as Hungarian Hills. History Center’s program manager Bobby Scott encouraged the visitors to contribute stories of their own about this community. The conversation became lively, people had a great story-telling time with laughter of reminiscence and fun in setting right each other’s recollections. Betty and her friends treated the guests to Hungarian goodies (kifli and begli) and coffee. In her presentation Betty thanked everyone for their support and help in providing materials, sharing memories and family histories with her.
The books are available for purchase ($24.95) at the Sherburne History Center in Becker, MN. All proceeds go to support the Sherburne History Center. Please call Bobbie at the History Center to register 763-262-4433 or email her at [email protected].
The members of the Minnesota Hungarians congratulate Betty for her idea, motivation and the completion of this book to preserve the rich Hungarian history of this area in Minnesota.
We wish her good health and energy to continue her valuable contributions to the life of Hungarian-Americans in Minnesota. | 2019-04-24T22:21:08 | http://minnesotahungarians.com/node/100 |

I have Comcast Internet service at home. I’ve used it for many years now, and one of the constant things over this period of time has been that the service is quite often very unreliable. I’ve gone for months with no problems, and then for some weeks or months the service gets to be terribly unreliable.
What do I mean by unreliable? That is best described in terms of what the service is like when it is reliable.
There is very high packet loss even pinging my default gateway!
During these incidents, I’ve found that the cable modem itself remains fine, I can ping the internal interface, signal strengths look good, and there’s nothing obviously wrong with the hardware.
What I’ve found is that rebooting my cable modem generally fixes the problem immediately. Now, this isn’t always the case – Comcast does have outages from time to time where you just have to wait a few hours. But for the most part, resetting the cable modem just fixes things.
So I was wondering how I could make this all a bit better for myself.
An option is something like this. An “Internet Enabled IP Remote Power Switch with Reboot“. Or this, this, or this. The last one of those, Web Power Switch Pro Model, even sports a little web server, can be configured, and supports SNMP, and a REST API! Some of these gadgets are even Alexa compatible!
But, no – I had to solve this with a Raspberry Pi! Continued in Part 2. | 2019-04-24T14:12:52 | https://hypecycles.com/tag/internet-monitoring/ |

left Germany in 1989 and settled here in Orlando. if I had the finances I would move elsewhere mainly because I don't speak spanish and I'm now a minority, so what else is new. job situation here is not good. Florida is 12.2%, while the national average is around 9%. Hopefully things will change for the better soon. the good news is I can retire and collect ssan in five years without any penalty. By the way, I was in the military for 9 years. That's how I ended up in Germany. As of January 2017 I landed a job as driver for Cardinal Health. I work in a Nuclear lab handling radioactive doses of medicine. And yes, they provide plenty of protection so I don't start to glow. Best job I've had since I was in and worked for the government. Full benefits and everything. Working towards my second retirement.
no real stories to share. back in the high school days I was more of a shy kid that kept to myself. yes, that all has changed over the years. on a rare occasion I can become a little shy, but for the most part I'm an out going individual.

Left the old flat in an unbelievably chaotic mess. Have to sort that out (and sort what I want to keep and what is rubbish) in the next week or so. No fixed telephone or internet at home just yet, just a 3G dongle. BT screwed up my order and this will cost me one week's wait more for the internet. Maybe their little revenge for me having broadband with somebody else.
So, some things have to go. Anyone wants a mini-fridge in perfect working condition? Perhaps £20 or so... also the sofa-bed in the new flat has to go, I hate it with a passion. But you might like it..
ION, Happy Birthday, miss_kat!! Have a good one!
Glad to hear you're settling in! Congrats on the new place.
At the last part of the roof, so sun willing I might be able to finish it off!

Airline frequent flyer miles can be used for future free travel. These programs are easy to join and make it simple to keep track of your total miles.
Most airlines offer a frequent flyer program that allows travelers to accumulate air miles in a frequent flyer account. Miles can be earned both by flying and by participating in various other spending opportunities, such as renting a car or using a mileage credit card. The miles can be used to book travel or upgrade a seat on future flights. Airline miles are like a type of currency, although there's technically no monetary value to them. Many travelers pick a favorite airline and prefer to keep all their miles in one place to help earn airline status and get free flights.
If you are already a member of a frequent flyer program, like American Airlines' AAdvantage or United Airlines' MileagePlus, and you have been including your frequent flyer number on your travel reservation, log in to your account to see your total number of miles, available online or in the airline's app. When you visit an airline's website, look for the login tab or box to access your account. For example on the United website, click on the MileagePlus tab. Most apps keep you logged in, so your total miles should immediately appear on the initial page. You should see both your total miles and the number of miles you've logged this year, as well as your airline status (if any).
Call the airline if you don't know your login for the website or app. Customer service will also be able to provide your mileage total.
If you haven't joined a frequent flyer program but do fly a lot, it's still possible to claim some miles. Fill out the enrollment form online for a specific airline (or for several if you have potential miles on various airlines) and keep track of your new membership number. Travelers must be 18 years old to join most frequent flyer programs. It's possible to request credit for recent flights as a new member, although some restrictions will likely apply. For example, United's MileagePlus program allows new members to request credit for qualifying flights that took place up to 30 days prior to the enrollment date. For a fee of $50, new members can ask for credit for flights up to six months prior. Check with your chosen airline for its policy on retroactive credit.
Once you have enough miles, you can book a free flight or use the miles to upgrade an existing reservation to business or first class. Each airline's website has a booking page for rewards bookings to check for possible flights. Be sure to log in to your mileage plus account before booking. Some airlines offer various types of rewards fares so it's always best to do some research and look into what option is the best use of your miles vs. your money. There are many dozens of websites that can help navigate using airline mileage programs, including The Points Guy and A View From The Wing.

Though Ralph Fiennes has played a few evil men over his career (including a Nazi colonel in Schindler’s List ), but The Dark Lord, AKA Voldemort, stands out as one of the best baddies. After the success of the books by J.K Rowling, Ralph really took the role of the evil and the much anticipated Voldemort to new heights.
Lord Vader personifies all that is dark and evil in The Force. When you get to see how he got to be the way he is, you empathize slightly. Though honestly, it’s hard to forget all the other mean things he did.
One character that immortalized Hitchcock movies and no one who saw the movie can ever forget the ‘eek eek eek’ back ground score. Psycho is considered one of the best horror/ thriller movies of all time mainly thanks to Anthony Perkins performance as Norman Bates.
Over the years we have seen many Batman villains, however Heath Ledger as The Joker gives a creepy yet absolutely mesmerizing performance. Perhaps one of the best acted nemesis of Batman.This is definitely a Hall of Fame worthy performance and is sure to be embedded in our memory for a long time.
And for our No. 1 spot? Of course, Anthony Hopkins for his Oscar winning role as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. If ever you ever want to feel what it’s like have chills done your spine and goosebumps during broad daylight; this cannibalistic serial killer will do just that. | 2019-04-20T20:20:48 | http://www.trendpolice.com/1581/villains-hollywood/ |

I remember reading that, in the Sanhedrin, the most junior rabbis were encouraged to speak first, so that they would not be swayed or intimidated by the more senior ones. Is this true and what is the source?
This is the rule for capital cases so as to be extra sure every possible leniency is considered before executing someone. See Mishna Sanhedrin 4:2 with commentaries.

INTERSPEECH 2014 Abstract: Kawahara et al.
A group delay-based excitation source analysis and design method is introduced for extension of TANDEM-STRAIGHT, a speech analysis, modification and synthesis system. This introduction makes all components of the system be based on interference-free representations. They are power spectrum, instantaneous frequency and group delay representations. This unification has potential to solve the major weak point of VOCODER architecture for high-quality speech manipulation applications.

In a nutshell, SP1 activities have been performed according to the plan and are mainly on schedule.
In what follows the significant results of each WP of SP1 are presented.
Compilation of the High Level Requirement Document (HLRD) for airborne icing instrumentation to be installed on airframer’s fight test aircraft. The new regulations for icing conditions proposed by FAA and EASA affect the performance required for the airborne icing instrumentation. This HLRD aims at specifying the requirements for airborne icing instrumentation accounting for Glaciated and Mixed Phase icing conditions and Supercooled Large Droplets (SLD) icing conditions. It identifies the main applicable requirements that the airborne icing instrumentation has to fulfil, including the system functionality, the performances to be achieved, the installation requirements and the operational requirements.
Description of the general requirements regarding the airborne icing instrumentation for research aircraft and their first application to the instrumentation of the Falcon 20 SAFIRE dedicated to research flight test campaigns.
ii) in wind tunnel for calibration in the Mixed Phase/Glaciated cloud simulation conditions.
The first measurement campaign is now scheduled for January-March 2014, the F20 will be equipped with a multi-beam Doppler cloud radar, four underwing cloud microphysics probes and additional microphysical instruments installed under the F20 fuselage.
The EASA-HighIWC has been a preparatory project to the HAIC project. Related to the NASA/FAA decision (November 2012) that the G-II aircraft will not be operational for the planned F20 campaign in early 2014 flying out of Darwin, a contingency plan has been proposed within EASA-HighIWC. The contingency plan has been particularly related to the design of a mini-IKP to be mounted on the Falcon 20.
Data were collected in CIRA icing wind tunnel with Robust probe to determine the first comparisons with reference Liquid Water Content (LWC) device (standard icing blade) at high speed and in the wide range of droplet size. Results show that the droplet break-up and splashing after the impact on the icing blade increases the water mass losses as their diameter reaches values higher than 60 μm resulting in a roll-off of measured LWC in comparison of those provided by Robust probe and PDI at same cloud conditions.
A new high-resolution imaging HSI (High Speed Imager) probe was designed and fabricated either for icing wind tunnel measurements or in-flight measurement. The HSI represents an innovative approach for particle imaging using CMOS cameras and pulsed illumination for characterizing mixed phase and ice particle size and morphology. The technology incorporates a reliable imaging system capable of detecting in-focus drops and ice crystal images. The scope is to limit the out-of-focus errors produced by other the available technologies. The method can simultaneously measure the particle velocity and is designed to improve the LWC and IWC derived from current optical probes. The HSI probe passed the preliminary design review (PDR).
WP15 will start in August 2014 (M24).
To view the progress performed within SP1 the second, third and fourth year of the project please follow the respective links. | 2019-04-21T18:35:00 | http://www.haic.eu/project/project-2/progress/sp1-instrumentation/ |
Selling a business is a complicated process. Even if you hire brokers like us to sell your business, it’s still imperative for you to understand the process before, during and after the sale. You can’t simply hire us or another broker and blindly let us handle everything.
As an owner, you have a tremendous amount of responsibility to participate in the process regardless of who you hire to help you out. With almost two decades of experience in helping entrepreneurs sell their businesses, I learned that most of them had been thinking about actually selling their business, but never thought about preparing for the sale.
Is this book written for you?
If your business has a revenue of less than $25 million, then this book is for you. Whether you’re selling your business now or you’ve been thinking about selling in the next five years, you will gain useful and actionable insights from this book.
Sell your business without stress. The process of selling a business is complex and can be extremely stressful, especially if not handled correctly. On this book, I explain the entire sale process in simpler terms to help you understand what happened before, during and after the sale.
Anticipating what’s going to happen, e.g., how you should qualify buyers or how you should choose the right seller financing, etc., can definitely reduce, if not totally eliminate, stress in the process.
Be more confident in selling your business. The overwhelming majority of business owners do not have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of selling a business. One of the major reasons for this is that existing books out there are either based merely on theories or intended for very large million-dollar companies.
Because this book is grounded in my nearly 20 years of actual experience handling successful deals, and targeted at businesses with revenues below $25 million, you can be confident that you will get only practical, concrete advice and actionable insights that you can implement in whichever stage of sale you are.
Discover what you don’t know about your own business. There are things about your own business that you will discover only once you take a seller’s hat on. You’ll see your business from a totally different perspective as you better understand how the process can be simplified and as you implement practical advice provided in the book.
How important is preparation in selling a business?
How do I ensure buyers are qualified?
How should I hire a broker? When is a broker necessary and when are they not needed?
What’s the best way to negotiate with buyers so I wouldn’t leave money on the table?
How should I structure notes or seller financing so I am protected?
How do I get the most exposure for my business while keeping the sale confidential?
What happens to debts when selling a business?
Can you sell your business without a broker?
In a few situations, selling a business on your own is a wise decision; however, in many instances, hiring a broker is the best way to maximize your profit from the sale.
How has selling a business changed in the last few years?
The Internet has completely changed the industry and the process. Technology has a significant impact on almost every step in the sale -- from how a business is advertised, to how buyers search for businesses to buy, to how you obtain financing. Unfortunately, the industry has not kept up.
Through this book, I hope to help you make intelligent decisions about one of the most significant decisions you will ever make in your life --selling your business.

Today my brother Mitchell would be 19, I can't believe it was nineteen years ago at midnight. Mom doesn't think I think about or care or care about my dad she is wrong but I hide so many of my thoughts and feelings away until they burst but I cry all the time when I am alone, people don't need to see my pain, mom doesn't need to see my pain. I remember Aaron babysitting, I remember staying up and watching Cinderella or some Disney movie, knowing that mom and dad when to have another baby then I remember mom coming home crying. I can't blame my parents for not liking the holidays, anyways later. | 2019-04-20T02:12:43 | http://www.katherinerochholz.com/2009/12/december-19th.html |
Join us for this free program in the communities of Berwick, Liverpool and Truro. Visit the Program Information page to learn more.
Nova Scotia's aging population is an untapped resource with a variety of skills, experiences and interests. The Redefining Retirement program is shining a light on this amazing group of people, and the important role they can play in invigorating our communities and rural economy.
With nearly 30% of our population estimated to be over the age of 65 in the year 2025, we must proactively engage older adults; enabling and expecting them to continue and enhance their participation in communities and the economy.
Through a series of workshops, focused coaching session and peer support, facilitators will work with participants to expand an entrepreneurial culture among older adults. The intended outcome will be an improvement in their quality of life through increased engagement. Some may start a venture, while others are simply looking for an encore to their career, or a way to support their community; no matter the case, this program is about bringing together the resources and networks to help them improve their quality of life by accelerating their entrepreneurial pursuits.
The program is being supported by the Department of Seniors (Government of Nova Scotia) and facilitated by the Acadia Entrepreneurship Centre and Third Sector Enhancement.
This short video describes the background, and objectives, of the Redefining Retirement Program. | 2019-04-20T08:13:54 | https://redefiningretirement.ca/ |
View cart “#6504 SmartCat ALL NATURAL Clumping Litter by Pioneer Pet-5lb Bag” has been added to your cart.
Cats do not like scented litter.
Cats like a clean litter box.
There should be one litter box per cat in the family, plus one.
For more information about cat behavior see www.catsinternational.org.
Provide litter that appeals to your cat. After all, your cat must want to use its litterbox.
To each it’s own… litterbox, that is. One box per cat in the household. Also, supply an extra box for those unforeseen emergency instances that may arise – they always do.
Place each litterbox in a quiet, private place easily accessible to your cat.
Keep in mind that litterbox liners may be irritating to some cats.
Confine kittens and new cats to one room until they have used their litterbox consistently for several days. Give them proper time to learn and adapt.
Clean them daily… the litterboxes, not your cats. We do that on our own.
Have your cat spayed or neutered at or before six months of age to prevent it from marking its territory.
If you’d like to learn more about litterbox training and other aspects of feline behavior, visit www.catsinternational.org.
Your cat will love this roomy litter box. Measuring 25″ x 18.5″ x 10.5″, the high sides help prevent litter kick-out. Easy to pick-up and clean, this sturdy and attractive litter box will suit your cat’s instinctual behaviors and that will make you both happy. | 2019-04-26T03:38:47 | http://www.pioneerpet.com/product/3854-ultimate-litterbox/?add-to-cart=7801 |

Forcast for the next 2 weeks: SHOWERS!!!
I would’ve posted this sooner if my computer hadn’t been blatantly defying my authority.
This Sunday I went to my first baby shower!! I am fortunate enough to have such great people in my life who were willing to do this for me! My best friend, Mother, and Aunt (and all of their husbands) went out of their way to make this pretty Georgian shower happen- and to make it awesome!
SUPER CUTE, RIGHT???!!!! They found this on Etsy.com… If you’ve been reading up you will already know I have a thing for cute baby owl things…so this was just PERFECT!
John and I arrived shortly before the rest of our guests did to check out all the cuteness that had been assembled for me. I quickly put him to work making paper pom poms for decorations.
We all sat down and mingled while eating…then, on to the BABY’S NAME ANNOUNCEMENT!! This was really exciting for me because I have been holding onto this name for months! I decided to get fortune cookies custom made for me with her name on the little pink fortunes inside...THEY WERE AWESOME! I was debating keeping the name a secret in the beginning because…well…I’M TERRIBLE AT SECRETS! There. The cat’s out of the bag. But it started to become fun when only John and I had this secret and nobody else knew! Not even our parents! I 100% recommend doing this if you are expecting!
Despite letting you know I have announced the name and that I’m bad at keeping secrets…I can’t post the name yet! We have another shower in Birmingham with a whole new bunch who don’t know the name yet. You know who you are! 🙂 But I’m even more excited because I already know how fun it was the first time and I can do it all over again at the second shower!! WOOHOO! Then I can post the name!
After the fortune cookie fun I was released to open the gifts! How fun! It seemed like I took forever because Baby was lucky to get a whoooolllleee bunch of gifts!
Pink newborn tub…I’m SO excited about bath time…I hope this baby likes baths…I HOPE!!!
Any of the hand made things…I’m into that!
My summer brand baby monitor!!
All the sweet clothes I got…I loved them all! I have already hung every little dress and outfit I received up!
…and of course BOOKS! My best friend had a great idea of asking for children’s books instead of cards. This way I would have a keepsake forever with the gift giver’s name and message inside the book! How great is that? I loved the idea and it was a complete surprise!
During the great gift opening, little prediction and advice cards were passed around. They asked all of the guests what they predicted what day Baby would actually arrive on, the weight, and length. And my favorite part was the ADVICE section! Everyone could write what advice they had for John and I as new parents! SO SWEET!
This shower was a complete hit and I am so thankful for my wonderful friends and family for making it all happen! I’m super excited that Baby will be brought into such a great group of people and I can barely wait for everyone to meet her now!
Stay tuned for next week’s shower pictures and details! I know it will be spectacular! John was sweet enough to order me a super special dress for it! It’s a good thing because after the last shower I realized that I can’t fit into any of my old dresses… Now, lets all hope it gets here in time! | 2019-04-20T02:51:21 | https://birminghambell.com/2011/10/10/forcast-for-the-next-2-weeks-showers/ |

For the first time this season we are going to have more than just the rankings here on the JBB. For the rest of the season i hope to have one of these (Teams of the Week/Players of the Week) as well as a quick look at some of the Top Series across the Country.
Even though Salt Lake was 3-1 this past week it might be as impressive as a 3-1 that you can get. They Hosted then #2 Southern Nevada in a 4 game series. The total series was separated by just 12 runs with the only loss coming by 2 in game 2. On the mound Jake Wilson in game 3 of the series threw a complete game only allowing 2 runs. Offensively for them both INF Jaxson Otis (San Francisco) had big impacts for them. Otis was 5-12, with a home run, 2 RBI, 3 R, and a stolen base. Otis was also tagged as the SWAC Player of the week.
Itawamba 3-1 week is just as impressive as Salt Lakes. They swept then #3 Jones County, while splitting with #19 Holmes. In their first game with Holmes, Justin Medlin (Middle Tennessee State) threw a complete game shutout going 7 innings striking out 9 while only allowing 5 total base runners. UTIL Kyle Crigger (LA Tech) was a one man wrecking crew for them all week. He only had 4 hits but those 4 hits were huge. He had 2 doubles, and 2 homers driving in 11 runs and scoring 5 him self.
Cumberland had the most successful week across all three divisions. They went 5-0 against some of the top teams at the Division 3 level. They had wins over then #25 Atlantic Cape, #2 Rowan Gloucester, #14 Middlesex County twice, and 2018 Div 1 Juco World Series participant Monroe. Michael Miles had one of the most impressive start out of anyone across the country in their game against Rowan Gloucester. He threw a complete game shutout, striking out 12 along the way with only 1 walk and 1 hit. Both Ryan McIsaac and Vincent Napolitano had huge offensive weeks for them. McIsaac was 9-21 with 2 homers, 6 RBI, and 6 runs. Napolitano was 7-23 with a double, 2 homers, 6 RBI, and 8 runs scored.
This is a quick look at some of the top 4-5 weeks of both Hitters and Pitchers across the country. | 2019-04-19T16:18:11 | https://thejbb.net/2019/04/03/week-10-players-and-teams-of-the-week/ |
Everyone knows Daniel was thrown into a lions’ den and went on some kind of fast. But there’s a lot more to this character than the Sunday school lessons let on!
Few Bible characters have the kind of status that Daniel does. He’s a righteous and wise hero of the Old Testament whose decisions save the lives of many.
For hundreds of years, a descendant of David had been on the throne in Jerusalem—well, besides one imposter queen (2 Ki 11:1–3). In 605 B.C., the dynasty was in its twilight years. Nebuchadnezzar successfully besieges Jerusalem and carries off some of the treasure from the temple of God to Babylon.
But that’s not all he takes. Nebuchadnezzar also captures some young men of the royal family with him to serve him in his court (Da 1:3). Daniel is one of them (1:6). This probably takes place before Daniel has finished adolescence.
Why does this happen? Maybe Nebuchadnezzar assumes Jerusalem’s leaders won’t give him any trouble if their sons are off in Babylon—kind of like high-profile hostages. Maybe he just wants to show off “pet” Israelite royalty to people who visit his palace.
Whatever the case, he makes a good choice to pick Daniel.
Not just any royal kid gets to go to Babylon: only the handsome ones. Nebuchadnezzar’s criteria for serving in his court includes physical appearance (Da 1:4).
You have to be a looker and a thinker to make it in the palace. All the captives need to be able to pass a three-year course in Babylonian language and literature, but Daniel and his friends are found to be 10 times wiser than all the experienced magicians and enchanters in the whole kingdom (Da 1:20).
It’s cool in and of itself that Daniel is being quoted by a contemporary.* But it’s also interesting that a Hebrew writer chooses Daniel as a reference point, rather than, say, Solomon.
*OK, full disclosure, it’s possible that there was an ancient legendary figure named Daniel who has nothing to do with our prophet.
There are several dreams in the Bible, and many of them seem to be straightforward instructions from God. But other dreams use bizarre symbolism to communicate something to the dreamer.
Daniel has option #3 covered.
He gains notoriety for understanding dreams in his youth (Da 1:17). And he is the only person who can interpret some of the most troubling dreams and visions for Nebuchadnezzar and his son, Belshazzar (Da 2:27, 30; 4:4–9; 5:15–17).
But that doesn’t mean Daniel can interpret every dream. In fact, Daniel has trouble interpreting some of his own dreams. When that happens, Daniel goes for option #2 of those listed above: he asks one of the people in his dream to interpret what is happening for him (Da 7:15–16).
Don’t mistake Daniel as some conjurer of cheap tricks. He’s not just a wise dream interpreter. He’s characterized by his unwavering faithfulness to the Law of Moses.
Daniel chooses not to defile himself with the King’s food upon his arrival in Babylon—the food would have rendered him ceremonially unclean according to the Torah (Da 1:8). And toward the end of his life he continues to pray to God and not the king, even though it puts him in danger (Da 6:13).
His faithfulness to God earns him another honorable mention from the prophet Ezekiel.
In the 14th chapter of Ezekiel, God uses Daniel, Noah, and Job as examples of extremely righteous men. He’s painting a picture to say that if God chooses to destroy a nation, it gets destroyed—and even three uber-righteous people like Daniel couldn’t save their children. You can read the whole story in Ezekiel 14:12–23.
In fact, Daniel is presented as such a righteous person in Scripture that …wait, you know what? This deserves a point all to itself.
Abraham had his Hagar incident.
Moses struck the rock and was banned from Canaan.
And those other two sterling examples of righteousness, Noah and Job? Noah got drunk and naked (Gen 9:21). Even Job repented because of how he spoke about God (Job 38:2; 42:1–6).
We have nothing on Daniel.
In fact, when his political opponents tried to get dirt on him, their only option was to make it illegal to obey God (Da 6:4–5).
Daniel is made the chief prefect of the wise men in Babylon after interpreting Nebuchadnezzar’s first dream (Da 2:48; 4:9, 5:11).
How crazy is that? Daniel is placed in a position to oversee the people who relied on other gods to enlighten them.
But this brings up an interesting aspect of Daniel that often gets overlooked. As far as these magicians are concerned, Daniel is a freak of nature.
You know what the magicians’ response is?
This is bizarre, because the Babylonians have a temple—and a temple is specifically built so gods can live with humans. We know the Babylonians have a temple because that’s where Nebuchadnezzar stashed the treasures of Jerusalem’s temple (Da 1:2).
Yet Daniel can interpret the dream. And so guess what they start saying about Daniel? They say that a spirit of the holy gods lives within him (Da 4:8–9, 18; 5:11, 14).
In a way, God uses Daniel’s wisdom to show up the gods of Babylon on their own turf—even though his (God’s) own temple has been destroyed by the Babylonians.
The name “Daniel” means “[the Jewish] God has judged.” But the Babylonians give him a new name: “Belteshazzar.” This new name means “Bel protect him,” with Bel being the name of a Babylonian god (4:8).
Daniel is captured as a young man in Nebuchadnezzar’s first siege of Jerusalem, and he lives in Babylon right into the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
This is the same Cyrus who decrees that the Israelite exiles may return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple that Nebuchadnezzar destroyed (Ezra 1:1–4).
Daniel was taken to Babylon as a young man—likely before he had finished puberty. So let’s say he was between 10 and 18 years of age.
The Babylonian captivity lasted 70 years, which would put Daniel in his eighties at the beginning of Darius’ reign in Daniel 6. This is when the whole lions’ den episode takes place.
You may have heard that there are two good angels who are explicitly named in the Bible: Gabriel and Michael. These two angels show up in both the Old and New Testaments doing cool stuff like announcing the coming birth of Christ or fighting Satan.
But guess where we meet them first? Yep: the book of Daniel.
Daniel meets Gabriel during one of Daniel’s troubling visions (it involves a ram, a goat, and a crazy talking horn). Gabriel is told to tell Daniel what’s going on (8:15–19). Gabriel shows up later to tell Daniel that God has plans to make an end to Israel’s sins (9:21–27).
We don’t see any conversations between Daniel and Michael, but he is working behind the scenes in the later chapters of Daniel. Michael is a warrior angel who combats opposing forces from Persia and Greece (10:13, 21). Daniel is told that at the time of the end, Michael will arise on behalf of Israel again (12:1).
I used my favorite Bible study tool, Logos Bible software, to do research that made this post possible. If you’re a Bible geek like me, you might want to check it out.
The Book of Daniel makes so much more sense if you read the full version, left out of the Protestant Bible for some reason which I cannot comprehend. The part left out lays the groundwork for how Daniel became so prominent in the land.
Why did the “Apocrypha” (they are not hidden books to anyone except Protestants) get dropped from the Bible? It was included until about 1929. What happened?
Because the apocryphal books are anachronistic and deceptive writings, that are NOT written by the authors that are claimed… they contain information that undermines what is in the actual canon of Scripture.
I heard that ancient Babylonion records actually mention Daniel (by his Babylonion name Belteshezzar). If this is true I’d like to see those references.
Care to cite your sources, Clive?
The idea that Daniel was a mythical (or at least mythicized) character is an interesting one to me. If you can contribute on this matter without being rude, please do.
I named my only child Daniel and he has made me more proud than I could have imagined. This has always been my favorite book of the old testament. I have also read some of the apocryphal books. I don’t know about what or who inspired them but they were still very interesting. I do not trust the original Catholic church or the Nycian Council to choose what gospels should or shouldn’t have gone into the bible. At that time, the church was started purely for political reasons. I prefer to read as much as I can to learn for myself.
Hi Jeffrey. I am a sundayschool teacher for toddlers age 3 & 4. We are doing a 12 week course on the life of Daniel. This is very helpfull. I just need to break it all down for a 3 year old to understand. Thanks.
Well done. I love how you write! May God bless the gift he gave you!
Thank you so much for this article! I am putting together a sermon for this Sabbath at the Seventh Day Adventist church and really enjoyed the context of this lesson and how you made the writings real to our contemporary times. May the Lord continue to bless you and your work! | 2019-04-22T20:25:51 | https://overviewbible.com/prophet-daniel-facts/ |
This Comic is from the Future!
Hopefully they'll resolve it soon.
Why do I have the feeling it'll turn into more enemy than friend soon?
Ash hired the time assassin in the future!
Ash, on the other hand, I think is angry and wants resolution, a sense of true/sincere respect, and consideration/appreciation.
Not trying to be pervy here, but does it look like Charlie has a mysterious lump in his pants in panel 6?
Elliot... What is wrong with Elliot... I think Elliot might be a fitting name for a girl who cross dresses and looks like a boy. And who reacts to teasing with physical violence. Hmmm; Elliot, the 'bully tomboy'.
That aside; Elliot is probably a family name passed down from grand parents or parents... I know a guy whose middle name is Marion (a family name). When we were in grade school (USA) we called him Mary... he would just laugh and then answer. After a while it wasn't any fun anymore and we just let it drop.
Marion is one of those male names that migrated to female over the centuries. Some others are Cathy, Jan, Leslie, you get the idea. John Wayne’s real name was Marion.
@Rick, that's a possibility but more likely Ash is simply a tomboy... also Ash doesn't exactly use the middle name and seems to get aggressive when it is used.
@I dunno, no... even at 400% magnification there's nothing.
At least the only witness to this whole debacle is Sam. Could you imagine if there were other guests in the room?
"Why do you care?" A question that depending on the answer given can do a lot in various directions.
Ah, and now we know why Ash has only one 'first and best' friend... and now she's doing her best to destroy that special friendship. Charlie has been a pretty good friend too. Helping her while her arm was recovering from the Doctor's needle in school and carrying her, bare footed across sun baked black top so she wouldn't hurt her cut foot... There were lots of things that Charlie did for her in the few days they've known each other that should make her realize how a good friend should act. If only she would stop and think before reacting so emotionally.
Humans are driven by emotions.
It is our emotions which provide us with a rich set of complex bioinformation about our perceived needs.
They are pointing to something.
If I had to guess, I'd say that Ash probably interprets (thinks) of Charlie's responses as uncaring and cruel -- that she probably [mis-]interprets his intention as a desire to create pain/suffering, RATHER than a desire to connect and have equality, peace.
When our needs are met, we experience emotions.
When our needs are unmet, we experience emotions.
How we think (perceive, interpret) about our observations, and others' intentions, ultimately leads to how we feel.
I believe we are always feeling *something* — whether conscious of it or not. | 2019-04-18T22:46:49 | http://bloodsplatteredsocks.com/archive/327 |
Like most rock bands, Keane has seen its share of ups and downs. Currently however, the band is definitely on an up. Following a successful 2004 UK tour, the commercial success of the band’s debut album Hopes and Fears, and BRIT awards for Best Album and Best British Breakthrough Act, Keane decided to hit the road with a series of European and US dates throughout 2005. Lighting Supplier for the European dates was by Lite Alternative of the UK with lighting design by Paul Normandale and lighting direction by Rob Sinclair. Lighting Technician is Mick Stowe.
Paul’s design impresses despite a relatively small MAC moving light rig, chosen for its reliability and worldwide availability. The entire package is Martin and consists of 10 MAC 500 profile spots (MAC 550s for the UK shows), 3 MAC 2000 Profile, 7 MAC 2000 Wash and 4 Atomic Colors plus some conventionals which they pick up locally for each show.
“At the outset Keane wanted a show that was both large scale and diverse visually hence the use of integral video and lighting plus moving set elements,” comments LD Paul Normandale. “This attention to the visual excitement of the band has extended through the scale of the production as it rises across territories.
Keane played to packed houses all across Europe (with a load in that reportedly took less than three hours), performing a selection that included current hits along with new material from their forthcoming album. The band then embarked on a US tour at the end of April which will be followed by appearances at various international festivals throughout the summer months. The US shows feature a larger rig with 2000s replacing the 500s to accommodate larger venues with lighting supply by Upstaging.
And more good news for the band - Keane has been announced as U2’s support band for a series of shows when they return to Europe. | 2019-04-26T00:52:36 | http://lite-alternative.com/index.php/hidden-news/item/129-keane-tour-2005 |
Lychees have rosy red skin and white, semi-translucent flesh which is tangy and juicy. They have 1 large, brown, smooth, glossy seed.
You should look for fresh looking, firm skin which should have some stem attached. Further ripen is not required after harvesting. Refrigerate us in a plastic bag or container. Use within 7 days.
Lychees are a useful source of vitamin C and dietary fibre. | 2019-04-19T00:46:51 | http://fruitcorp.com/f-lychee.htm |

Back in the summer of 2010, shortly after my sister and her husband moved to Boston, Harper and I went to visit. She had just turned three, and turned out to be a most delightful travel companion. We had such fun that we decided it should be an annual tradition. However, Lynn and I were both very pregnant last August and couldn’t quite make it happen, so we’ve been looking forward to a repeat of this trip for, I don’t know, a long time.
Last time around, Harper was in a stroller and took naps while we walked around downtown Boston. This time around, we had two strollers, with two new babies, and Harper didn’t nap at all.
And oh, what a time we had. We walked to the playground, played in the backyard, went to the neighborhood pool. We watched the babies play, and eat, and sleep, and declared that yes, it is still funny to have two. (We also expressed our usual amazement at how people with twins do it). After dinner, two nights in a row, Harper got to go on special outings with Uncle Matt, out for ice cream one night, and the library the next.
We took the train downtown and visited the Boston Children’s Museum (at half-price, thanks to my sister’s mad library skills), where Harper was a sheep in a play, the babies crawled around in a specially designed play room, we all blew bubbles, Harper climbed two stories up in a net climbing structure that Lynn and I decided really should be big enough for adults, and had all kinds of other hands-on adventures.
It will surprise no one in my family that I started crying when it was time to leave on Wednesday morning. It did not help that I’m not sure when we will get to see each other again (I am holding out hope for a magical visit sometime this fall because I can hardly stand the thought that it might be Christmas). It also did not help that as we pulled out of the driveway, there was sweet Eliza on the front porch, being held by her Grandpa Richie (who had come over to babysit while Lynn took us to the airport; why, oh why, don’t three car seats fit in the back of a regular car?). I realized that I’ll never see her quite that way again. Next time we get together, she’ll be walking, and probably talking a little, and she won’t be that baby anymore.
At the airport, I teared up again, and Harper looked at me with concern. “I just get sad when I have to say goodbye to people I love,” I told her. “It’s okay to be sad,” she said. “But we get to go home and see Dad!” Good kid, that one.
On the flight home — which was nearly three hours late; thank goodness for the indoor playground in the Boston airport and the kind Delta representative who pointed it out to us after watching Harper climbing on top of a pay phone booth — they were worn out, and both of them fell fast asleep just as we took off. My two little monkeys, both of them managing to use me as a pillow. I felt very much like a mom right then — so different from my flight to Chicago a few weeks ago, by myself, on my way to a meeting, when I spent the flight editing page proofs of the book — in my traveling clothes with Cheerio crumbs stuck to my pants and drool on the shoulder of my shirt, two beautiful children depending on me to get them home safely. Harper, whose long legs practically touch the floor when she sits up straight, who is so nervous about the first day of kindergarten (and I know just exactly how she feels), who is such a very good big sister. Jonathan, who loves me better than anybody else in the world right now, whose sleeping face gives me just a peek into the boy he will be before I know it.
It’s good to be home, but we’re counting the days until next August.
What a great story! You missed just one thing; What are Harper and JB looking at? | 2019-04-24T12:57:58 | https://leehullmoses.com/boston-this-time/ |
Merafe remains one of my favoured trading plays in mining because of the exposure to ferrochrome. Good growth in stainless steel production in the first six months of 2018, particularly in China and Indonesia, had a direct impact on demand for ferrochrome. Whilst ferrochrome production in China, which is the world’s largest producer, was negatively affected by short term environmental related shutdowns, strong demand is continuing and leading to a balanced market. Supply growth of only 1% is likely this year but demand is growing in the 5% to 6% region.
If we see this more balanced market (favouring producers) then then next two years look positive for stable pricing.
In the past two years have been good for stainless steel with growth of 3% likely in 2018. Strong production and demand for stainless steel is going in tandem and medium-term growth will be led by China, Indonesia, and India.
I thus target a price for ferrochrome of $1/lb for the next three years, which is 30% higher than in 2015.
Other than Merafe, Glencore has an interest due to its 79,5% share of the Merafe Pooling and Sharing Joint Venture, a joint venture that dates to 2004 and is today the largest ferrochrome producer globally.
Merafe reported respectable interim results and a bumper R200 million dividend (8 cents), up from R75 million. The shares traded ex dividend from 29 August. Merafe’s board will consider special dividends and distribute excess cash above R50 million.
For the year to December 2017, Merafe generated EBITDA of R1,7 billion off revenue of R5,9 billion. Even if the rand remains in the R13/$ to R14/$ range, the business would still generate EBITDA of at least R1,3 billion per annum. This translates to bottom line of over R700 million or EPS of 28 cents per share.
Even at a proclaimed dividend payout ratio of 30%, shareholders get roughly 8 cents per share before special distributions. Merafe could pay 50% of its earnings in dividend, roughly 14 cents, and still have a net cash position.
Because Merafe is a vertically integrated producer it captures much of the upside on price. About two-thirds of ore is internally sourced with the balance on contracts tied in to index prices. Chrome ore is about 30% of its cost of production and so EBITDA margin is well leveraged to positive pricing developments.
Merafe shares in 20,5% of the EBITDA of the JV and the earnings reported of R914 million in 2017 are the proportionate share. Glencore gets the lions’ share of earnings.
There is no debt and net asset value of R4,83 billion or 192 cents per share is 18% higher than the current market capitalisation.
There is reasonable tradability, 33% of shares in issue traded in 2017. Excluding Glencore and the IDC, 49% of shares are in public hands. Market capitalisation at R4,1 billion is sizeable. The stock traded in 2017 between a low of 108 cents to 201 cents, well up from a low point of 50 cents in 2016. Given earnings sensitivity to commodity price variability, Merafe is a nice stock traders choice. Strong commodity fundamentals mean there is a reasonable underpin to the price for now.
At 163 cents, Merafe is cheap at a forward PE ration on 5,6x, on my estimated 2018 earnings, and 85% of forward NAV. Assuming a 14 cents dividend, the gross yield is a chunky 8,5%. My DCF retains a valuation of 200 cents. Trading Buy.
Merafe Resources has shown good growth in their stainless-steel production for the first half of 2018 and the miner is still the favourite when it comes to its exposure to ferrochrome. There is more upside potential for the share price in the medium term if the miner’s operations continue to grow.
Looking at the chart of Merafe we can see that the price has been consolidating recently between the 150c and 170c per share level. Technically I would buy the share above the 175c per share level with a first target price of 200c. | 2019-04-19T09:14:13 | https://blog.gt247.com/merafe-ferrochrome-remains-buoyant-mn-ingham-25-september-2018 |

A thread for everything else Gordon Jackson, Martin Shaw and Lewis Collins have been in.
Gordon Jackson had been in numerous films and 'Upstairs Downstairs' before 'The Professionals'. Afterwards he was in the film 'The Whistleblower' with his 'Upstairs Downstairs' co-star David Langton and appeared in a 'Hart To Hart' episode with Hazel McBride (You'll Be Alright) playing his wife.
Martin Shaw had been in 'Coronation Street' in the 60s, 'Doctor In The House' and the film 'Operation Daybreak' before 'The Professionals'. He has done a wide range of work since.
Lewis Collins did 'The Cuckoo Waltz' and had guested in 'Z Cars' and 'Warship' before 'The Professionals'. He is best known for 'Who Dares Wins' and 'Jack the Ripper' afterwards. He appeared in The New Avengers' episode 'Obsession' with Martin Shaw. Lewis and Martin both appeared in 'Robin Of Sherwood'.
Lewis also did a trilogy of European mercenary action pics in the '80s - Codename Wildgeese, Kommando Leopard and The Commander. He also made several appearances on American TV, featuring in Carly's Web and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He also had 2 roles, one recurring, in the early '90s ITV murder mystery show Cluedo and played a Bodie-like gym instructor in The Grimleys.
Gordon Jackson starred in 2 big films, The Great Escape and The Ipcress File in which his character Jock befriended Michael Caine's Harry Palmer before meeting a sticky end. He was also in Hell Drivers which featured a cast of stars before they became famous - Sean Connery, Patrick McGoohan, David McCallum, Sid James, Jill Ireland and Herbert Lom.
Martin Shaw was in Roman Polanski's MacBeth which was made in 1971. I watched that at school as part of my GCSE studies.
I liked Martin Shaw as Scott of the Antartic in 'The Last Place On Earth' from the mid 80s.
He also was very good in a 2009 supernatural horror series on BBC1 called Apparitions. He played a priest trying to help people possessed by Satan.
Martin Shaw was in early 70s ensemble/anthology series "Villains". I'm not really a fan of his but he's pretty good in this as a flash jack the lad type who manages to muck things up in quite spectacular style.
Gordon Jackson was in the 1962 film 'Mutiny On The Bounty' and the Mrs Peel Avengers episode 'Castle De'ath'.
Here are their CVs from imdb.
Martin Shaw's part in 'Doctor in the House' was hilarious. He should have done more comedy acting. My interest in him prompted me to buy the huge box set (although he was only mainly in the first series, I guess because after that he was filming McBeth), but I love this series. It is hellishy sexist (for those that worry about such things) and would never get passed today, but boy is it funny!
I must confess to liking George Gently, the 1983 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' and Strange Report - all of which feature Martin.
I do remember liking 'Run The Gauntlet' in the 80s with him in it too but can't remember much about it now other than it was a bit like Krypton Factor assault course type show.
I liked Martin Shaw in 'Operation Daybreak'.
Yes, a darn good war film.
Martin Shaw: Lo of really good V roles. Tick.
Lewis Collns: After the Pros found work difficult, taking roles 'C' rated films. Most notble IMO for the Jack the Ripper mini series, longside Mr. Caine. What a waste.
It was a major waste that Lew didn't get to play James Bond. He would have suited the recent Daniel Craig efforts to a tee. Plus he would have looked more like Bond than Craig himself does, despite his strong, serious acting ability.
I watched Gordon Jackson in the seventies BBC series Supernatural episode Night of the Marionettes last Halloween when it was on BBC4. It was very creepy and is well worth a look - maybe it will pop up again this Halloween.
Lewis Collins would have been a natural for Bond.
He would have been indeed. After Who Dares Wins, there were more films planned for him as Peter Skellen, including one set during the Falklands War, but nothing came of it. He was also rumoured to star in an American TV movie with Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) called Adventurers Unlimited.
Such is life, Martin Shaw carved out a very good career on stage and televison after the Professionals and poor Lewis Collins didn't really do much at all.
When I used to watch the re-runs of The Professionals on Granada Plus in my student days, I just used to think what a great show and I had some very brief memories of seeing little snippets of the show during its ITV repeats around 1984 - 1987. At the time, in those pre-internet days for me, I never really gave any thought to the actors who played the roles. This sounds really bizarre now I know! But in the last 5 or 6 years or so I've became really interested in Lewis Collins's career and I've occasionally considered buying Commando Leopard, Codename Wild Geese and The Commander. I never got around to buying them but I've seen them on the 'Movies for Men' channel in the last few months and my overwhelming reaction was that it was a real shame to see LC in such low budget flicks when he should have been in far more high profile roles.
I can't say I've ever seen any other similar films - at times it really does feel a bit as though it's been shot in someone's back garden with a camcorder! It is always good to see LC as he is one of those very rare actors that I find very watchable in anything but I must admit I found it quite difficult getting to the end of those films as they didn't really seem to go anywhere and the low standard or production put me off.
As I say, up until relatively recently I wasn't really aware that Lewis was considered for Bond. That's probably because the last series of The Professionals was all filmed before I even started school so Lewis's high profile days were sadly over by the time I started taking an interest in film and TV. Looking around online and at some old newspaper cuttings though, it certainly seems as though LC was the public's choice to take over from Roger Moore. I think he would have been brilliant as he was so watchable, the women liked him, the guys wanted to be like him and he had all that positive baggage of Bodie - I bet all his fans from The Professionals wanted him to be Bond so I would have thought he would have been a pretty safe bet for the producers. He would have given Bond a really modern and up to date feel back in the 1980s. As much as I like Roger Moore's portrayal, LC would have brought it up to date. It is real mystery that LC didn't go on to greater things, it would be great to read his autobiography but sadly it doesn't seem as though much progress has been made in getting it published, although hopefully I'm wrong.
I watched last night 'Who Dares Wins' which I have on home recording CD/RW. First time I've seen it years... hugely disappointed. The production, script and story is rather insipid. Crying shame as there's some good actors in the film. Not sure what the writers were thinking of in terms of quality - I 'get' it's an ideal roles Lewis... he and the others deserved better.
By contrast, on the same disc, I have 'Regeneration', directed by Gilles Mckinnon. It had a similar budget and similar calibre of actor, yet the dialogue-laden film about shell-shock victims is gripping from start to finish. Everything that Who Dares Wins lacks.
I will at some point give a full appraisal of the WWI drama.
I think 'Who Dares Wins' is a cracking action movie. It looks a bit dated these days and Lew's hairstyle is really bad. Apart from that it ticks all the boxes for me.
'Who Dares Wins' is a film I liked more as a teenager. I've got it on DVD and still enjoy watching it but I really only watch it for the end where they storm the embassy as a lot of the plot doesn't make sense if you think about it too much.
Everything has dated on the film: Hairstyles, music, the script... the action scenes at the beginning when Lewis is knocking six shades out of the US/German military is good, as is the ending action scenes. As a thought-provoking film, given it's based around the SAS and faux-terroists, it fails miserably.
It is uninvolving, wishy-washy production IMHO. Hey, what do I know?
Read the book, pp. Known as The Tiptoe Boys, it's a razor-sharp spy thriller in which the villains are more clever and devastating than they were in the movie and more depth is given to Peter Skellen, particularly his attitude towards the SAS. The finale is considerably more downbeat too.
Generally speaking the original book is better than the adapted film.
It is but IMHO the film has a slightly better action climax.
Fair enough. I was just disappointed how old fashioned it looked, and compared to the other film on my disc, the dialogue and storyline looked third rate. If they had wrote it about a IRA splinter group, and this is just my opinion, it would have a lot more credence. Using the American as the gang leader, along with crummy script didn't do the film any justice.
Apart from Lew's awful haircut and the stupid anti-nuclear am-dram play (which was dated in 1982!) this film has fared well I think in the intervening 34 years.
This reminds me of a famous Monty Python scene (Life of Brian).
A few months ago I started watching George Gently. I'm enjoying it and slowly making my way through them. I'm on series three right now. I think the '60s setting is a nice change of pace. I've been amused by the couple of references that have been made to Docfor Who.
At least once an episode I look at Martin Shaw and think "Doyle as an old man".
Fair play, Gently is a cracking show I think and I reckon you'll enjoy it! | 2019-04-26T06:05:30 | http://minder.proboards.com/thread/1048/professionals?page=1 |
How did the Europe and US tour go?
It was a great experience. I was a little anxious for that tour because it was my first solo tour. We had a great time touring is Europe and in U.S.A and we want to do it again.
I ‘m not sure yet. My manager books the shows right now.
Is it possible to play in Greece?
I hope so. I really hope so,yes.
So, I guess there will be another European leg..
It’s gonna be another American leg and another European leg.
For which months we are talking about?
Are you satisfied by the feedback you have already got from listeners and press for “Grace for Drowning” album?
Yes, I am. You know, one of the things about making an album -I don’t like the word “album”- when you’re finishing a new record we all believe that it was the best record we have ever done. If we didn’t believe that, we wouldn’t finish it. If we weren’t confident about what we have done, we wouldn’t finish it. But when you finish it, you really don’t know how people will think about it. You put it out, to make the public, the people who are interested in it, to listen to it. It depends on what crowd you have and to satisfy these people with your work, that’s a wonderful thing. So, I’m very happy with the response we’ve got for this album.
In general, could we say that “Grace for Drowning” shows the jazzier side of you as a musician?
Yes, definitely. I think in this album I’m not interested only in jazz, it has all of the sides of my musical taste. I always interesting in progressive rock, in trip hop, in ambient and the only thing that actually I hadn’t done before is writing jazz, which is interesting, but I hadn’t done earlier in my career.
Which exactly was your musical intention in “Deform to Form a Star” song? It’s like Radiohead slowly evolving into King Crimson..
My intention was to write music. I’m not aware of the similarities and what other people used to hear. In “Deform to Form a Star” I can’t say that something directly influenced it. I sat down and wrote music. But sometimes you have a strong idea and there is an influence in that, as King Crimson in “Raider II”. I can’t say there is any direct influence in “Deform to Form a Star”, from my point of view. You know, people usually see things that I don’t see. Interpretations are free to all of them, people always do that. I’m interested in Radiohead since very, very long time and I’m sure that they have influenced in a way, whether I’m aware of it or not.
“Raider II” is the most ambitious song you have ever written. How difficult was NOT to get lost within 23 minutes?
It was difficult. The longer the journey you have to go on, the more chances are to get lost. So, the longer the piece of music is, the more likely is not to be a interesting one as a whole. You have to be in a great form or you will get lost in your way. It’s difficult to make all things work right, the get the best performance from all the musicians, to arrange an orchestra. It ‘s a very demanding part that. But, your question is about how difficult was not to get lost in the valley, and I think I did the very best that I could do.
Yes, it’s a masterpiece! In “Raider II” the first time you say “Every story needs to have an ending” ,your vocals are distorted and sick as Roger Waters did in “Waiting for the Worms”!! Is it a coincidence or I’m a sick Roger Waters fan?
I think your question is the same with that you asked me about “Deform To Form A Star”. You know.. Listen, I spent much of my teenage life listening to Pink Floyd etc. To be honest, I haven’t listened to Pink Floyd for many years, but they are part of my DNA. They are in my music, whether I know it or not. But ofcourse, they are always in my music.
Was there any musician you’d like to participate in “Grace for Drowning” and didn’t happen for any reason?
I think that possibly those I want to play with, they play in it. There are many other musicians I ‘d like to work with. Maybe in the next album. You know, my dream is to work with someone like Kate Bush, but she is a very difficult person. She doesn’t want other people to work with her. That’s why I’m doing solo albums, to have the chance to play with other people.
The striking orange colour on the cover reminds me Amon Duul II “Yeti” album. Did it happened intentionally? Did you want to do a ‘70s cover like “Houses of The Holy”?
No, I think the orange colour it happened accidentally. I will tell you what exactly happened: I was with Lasse Hoile who did the cover of the album and was carrying an analog camera. We didn’t want to do anything digital, we wanted something much like a Polaroid film. And we were shooting all afternoon and when we were about to finish, we saw the orange colour of the sun when was literally about to set down at the very very last moments of the daylight and that time the sun is getting very red and orange. And we shot with the Polaroid film the atmosphere of that light, it was like twilight. We wanted that orange. It happened during one of our last shootings we did that afternoon. We really hadn’t any more time at all to shoot anything else.
Storm Corrosion album with Mikael Akerfeldt has finished. Any special guests who play in it?
Pretty much of it, has already done. You know, Mikael and me, we can play, we can sing, so there aren’t many people involved in it. We have a lot of orchestral ones. We have an orchestra.
Drums are played by Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree). But we haven’t much drums on it. Only about 15%-20% of the album has drums.
Will you tour for this?
I don’t think we can. We can’t do that, it isn’t possible.
You would have to carry an orchestra with you.
Exactly. There are many musicians, many overdubs on it. I don’t think we can.
You could do one show in London and film it.
We could do a show and film that. Yes.
How much necessary was working with a legendary producer like Trevor Horn (Yes, Paul McCartney) in Blackfield’ s “Welcome to my DNA”? I mean, you’re a fantastic producer on your own!
I think he was one of my heroes. He does one thing that I don’t do: He usually records things in analog and I learned to record in digital. He has a different approach stylistically than me. He listened to the songs and made suggestions about what we needed in a song and what not. My approach in a song is that of a songwriter: how you can things creatively and the structure you use and that’s interesting. I learned a lot watching him what we he was doing in the studio.
How much surreal was remixing an iconic album like “Aqualung” and the King Crimson albums? You’ve grown up listening to these albums.
Yes, it’s kind of surreal. You know, after the first couple of hours it starts to become (ed: he’s thinking)..
Not a job. That’s your words. I know what I certainly have to do in an album. I know to make things short. I don’t have to spend a lot of time to do a mix. You know what? I believe, I very much believe from my heart that I was the right person to do it.
Ofcourse! I don’t know anyone better than you!!
That happens because I love these albums so much.
In 10th June 2006 in Arrow Rock Festival in Holland, you played support in the same stage to Roger Waters. I guess it was a great honour for you. Did you get the chance to meet him?
To be honest, he is one of the people I certainly don’t want to meet.
Are you afraid that this would change the opinion you have about him?
I’m doing, I’m doing that thing. But you know, he is one of those people.. It’s difficult to meet your hero. I know Robert Fripp (ed: King Crimson’s leader), but I know him in a professional level and we have collaborated together. It’s much easier when you work with some people, than to meet them as a fan. They used to meet fans. I used to meet fans of mine and sometimes you don’t know what you have to do, not to disappoint them, sometimes they are annoying you in a way and sometimes it’s some kind of uncomfortable, and I understand that. The only reason I would like to meet someone like Roger Waters is to work with him.
I’d love to work with Roger Waters.
You’re the most hard-working person in music business. Do you have any time left for hobbies, sports, personal life etc?
I do. You know, I love to partying (laughs). You know, I don’t like to have a family. I ‘m not interested to see things to slow down because I would have a family. No, I don’t. If you have a family, you would have to spend time with it, it gets difficult to tour and this slows down the things. I’m interested in my work. I think people think that I spend all day, every day of the year, working in the studio and I honestly, don’t do it. I have my own studio now, so I do the things more quickly now. I know the work the songs quickly. I don’t spend a lot of time. I don’t take as time as it gets to make things work. No. I work quickly and I think I do the things right. What I takes me time, is writing. The writing process of “Raider II” took me about a year. It took a long time.
What was the best thing you recently listened to? As a listener.
Oh.. I don’t know.. I didn’t hear quite a lot.
Did you like Radiohead’s “The King of Limbs”?
I did like that. I mean, I like all things Radiohead do. That isn’t their best effort, but I really liked their whole kind of philosophy of that album. I liked its sound. Apart of that, I don’t hear a lot of people, I don’t have a lot of time to do that. Not much.
Do you remember under which circumstances you wrote the great “Collapse The Light Into Earth” song from “In Absentia”? I love that song!
Thank you. Really good song, yeah.
One of the greatest you have ever written!
That would be one of my 9/11 songs. It was written the day after 9/11. “Collapse The Light Into Earth” is one of those songs, although it doesn’t speak about 9/11. It’s basically a love song. “Collapse The Light Into Earth” was written when I saw one those images of the building, which collapsed literally into earth. That image particularly inspired me to write “Collapse The Light Into Earth” the day after 9/11.
Do you think The Beatles’ song “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” written by John Lennon is the first progressive rock song ever recorded?
No, there were progressive songs written before that. When was that written? In 1969, in “Abbey Road”, right? I think there was a lot more recording before. I would say “A Day In The Life” (1967). I would say The Moody Blues album “Days of Future Passed” (1967). I think that’s one of the first progressive rock albums. You know, many people are discussing which is the first progressive rock song.
As a fan, I ‘m asking the right person.
The first progressive rock songs are in The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s”, the album “Pet Sounds” by The Beach Boys, “The Piper At The Gates of Dawn” by Pink Floyd. But I think the first real progressive rock album and the best work of The Moody Blues, is “Days of Future Passed”. And ofcourse King Crimson’s “In The Court of The Crimson King”.
You have collaborated many times with Robert Fripp. Alex Lifeson (Rush) recorded a guitar solo for Porcupine Tree. You recorded in David Gilmour’s boat. Do you think your childhood dreams have already fulfilled?
You know, my childhood dream was to make a living playing music and that I have already fulfilled it. I think what you’re saying in a way is that I grew up listening to some people and now I’m working with those people. Ofcourse, I’ve known all those people and I have worked with some of them, like Robert Fripp which is amazing. Amazing! And playing with Steve Hackett (ed:ex-Genesis guitarist), one of the greatest guitarist of rock’n’roll history. I haven’t had to tell him anything to do. He knew exactly what he had to do. There are still many dreams to fulfill.
After the Storm Corrotion album, what’s next? A next Porcupine Tree album?
No, I’m currently working on my third solo album. The band I toured with, I’m so happy with that line-up. To write music to play with that band. To write music with a band it’s different that the music I wrote for “Grace for Drowning” with various people.
Will you bring any guests or these are the only who participate in it?
Possibly, yes. I think so. That’s why I’m doing the solo records. I’m writing during the last weeks for three hours a day. That’s my new project.
A huge “THANK YOU” to Steven Wilson.
A million thanks to Linn Hutchinson for her valuable help. | 2019-04-22T16:45:48 | https://www.hit-channel.com/steven-wilson-soloporcupine-treeblackfieldno-man/2517 |
I am not a pro. Why do I need sports nutrition?
Sports nutrition is important for athletes and professionals because it provides a source of energy required to perform the activity. But that doesn’t mean that only a professional sportsperson or an athlete needs this kind of nutrition. Sometimes the diets that are prescribed by the nutritionist are based on daily activity and medical condition; hence sports nutrition is important even if you are not a pro.
The food we eat impacts on our strength, performance, training and recovery. That is why the type of food we eat is important and also the times we eat throughout the day has an impact on our performance levels and our body’s ability to recuperate after exercising.
How are you better than specialized sports nutritionists?
A sports nutritionist would only have a diet prescribed which is based on the strenuous sports activity that you are doing, on the other hand, our heath consultants offer needs and future health management through regulated food intake.
Our nutritionists are highly experienced and prescribe diet plans to all the individuals as per their individual needs and requirements which take care of their nutrition intake well.
How is this different from weight maintenance?
Sports nutrition is a well-designed plan that allows adults and athletes to perform at their best. It supplies the right type of food, energy, nutrients, fluids that keep the body well hydrated and functioning properly at all times. It is not just restricted to maintenance of weight, but focuses on overall health management through balanced and nutritious food including weight management.
Sports nutrition is unique for every individual and is planned according to individual goals and hence different from weight maintenance. This type of diet may vary day to day, depending on specific energy demands.
What if I am travelling?
As a certified nutritionist and someone who has successfully maintained a whopping 125-pound weight loss in six years, Christian Bale often tells people that diets will work only if you are determined to stick to them every day in all conditions.
Travelling is not an issue as a nutritionist can easily plan adequate meals based on one’s time and place of travel. Stick to the plan !
Do you ensure I eat based on which sport I play? Or is it same for all sportsmen?
Arnab Mondal (National Level Football Player) follows a diet plan as prescribed by experienced nutritionist. His diet involved foods that can help him stay energetic and was advised as per his sports activity.
Thus, diets vary based on sports activity. Also, there can be slight to major changes in the food regime as prescribed by the nutritionists based on the kind of sports activity you are into.
What is different in sports diet?
A sports diet is majorly designed not only to keep one healthy and fit but is formulated keeping one’s sports activity in mind. Thus, all athletes or sports person rely on sports nutrition to achieve their health and fitness goals.

Former British road race champion Sharon Laws and criterium specialist Hannah Barnes will ride for the new UnitedHealthcare women’s team in 2014, it was announced today.
Laws, 39, joins from Lotto-Belisol after a season affected by a horrendous crash during the Cape Argus Cycle Tour in March, while 20-year-old Barnes makes the switch from the MG-Maxifuel team after enjoying the best season of her career.
She won the Johnson Health Tech GP Series overall, as well as taking three of the five round victories, and kept her 100 per cent record at the IG London Nocturne in June by defeating double Olympic champion Laura Trott.
The team will be managed by Briton Rachel Heal, silver medallist in the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
Seven riders were previously unveiled by the team, including 2013 Giro winner Mara Abbott and Lauren Tamayo, who took silver in the team pursuit for USA at London 2012.
“We are pleased to have these five outstanding professionals join our team,” said General Manager and Team Director, Mike Tamayo. “These additional five women complete a great line-up that we expect to be a force in the sport. | 2019-04-21T16:55:11 | https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/sharon-laws-and-hannah-barnes-join-unitedhealthcare-for-2014-23377 |
In April 2013, Stryker issued an Urgent Medical Device Recall of its OASYS Midline Occipital Plate product line, citing a potentially hazardous defect. According to reports, these devices contain a pin that connects the tulip head to the body of the plate, and this pin was fracturing post-operatively in some patients.
Fracture of this pin can cause pieces of the device to migrate, and travel into other areas of the body. Because this device is implanted in the cervical spine, there is a great risk of nerve injury and damage to some areas. Patients have reported this complication, along with others. Lawsuits have been filed and more are expected to follow in the coming months.
If you or a family member has received a Stryker OASYS implant and you have experienced complications, you may be entitled to settlement for the pain and suffering you have endured. Alternatively, if you have received a Stryker OASYS implant but have not suffered complications, you should still consult your physician as Stryker has recommended patients seek follow up care regardless of whether or not they have noticed any negative side effects. Many patients who received these devices will need revision surgery to repair or replace affected spine plates.
Never damage in the cervical spine is known as Cervical Radiculopathy and is a serious condition. Patients who suffer from this will often experience chronic pain, numbness or weakness in areas that are served by the damaged nerve. There are seven cervical vertebrae located in the spine, along with 8 cervical nerves that are routed through these vertebrae.
Depending on which nerve is damaged, patients may feel pain and weakness in different areas. Nerve damage to the C6 and C7 nerves are the most common. These produce pain and weakness in the neck and arms. Damage to other cervical nerves can cause weakened hand grip, shoulder pain, and more. A doctor should be consulted immediately if any of these symptoms are present.
Our dangerous device attorneys can help if you or someone you care about has suffered as a result of a Stryker spine plate. Lawsuits have been filed against Stryker by both patients and their families seeking compensation for their pain and suffering. You may be entitled to a settlement.
We do not charge any legal fees unless you receive a settlement. We also pay all of the case costs. If your claim is not successful for any reason, you owe us nothing. We put that in writing for you. Our lawyers will help you file your lawsuit. | 2019-04-22T17:58:55 | https://www.druglawsuitsource.com/stryker-spine-plate-nerve-damage-lawsuits/ |
Correctly aligned tires will reduce tire wear, and ensure that your vehicle travels straight and true (without "pulling" to one side). Your tires should be checked during routine maintenance, but if you notice uneven tire wear or your car is pulling to one side, you should have a qualified automotive technician examine your car. You can trust the technicians at Complete Auto Services LLC to thoroughly examine your vehicle's tires and correct the alignment if necessary. Call us at 989-739-3157 if you have any questions or want to schedule an appointment.
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit Complete Auto Services LLC. | 2019-04-24T12:38:04 | https://www.autorepairoscoda.com/Oscoda-alignment-services.html |
The Office of Multicultural Affairs facilitates the Navigation mentoring program that pairs students with a faculty or staff member who will serve as their Navigation Partner throughout their journey at the University of Dayton. A Navigation Partner can answer questions, be a listening ear, and connect students with resources and opportunities for success.
Student engagement with faculty members outside of the classroom has been consistently found to promote student persistence, educational aspirations, and degree completion (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991, 2005). Positive faculty relationships have been shown to predict student learning and other positive outcomes for African-American, Latino/a, Asian, and Native American students (Kuh & Hu, 2001; Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991; Tinto, 1993). We offer this program as we believe that this is an experience that all students will find valuable.
Name at least one other faculty or staff resource with whom they have met during the semester.
Name at least one campus resource.
Describe at least one leadership or involvement opportunity.
Describe at least one semester goal they set for themselves and 2-4 mini goals or actions they took to work toward achieving their goal.

Read it for the gripping, page-turning prose and unpredictable ending.
After a catastrophic storm sends the Arctic Promise off-course, the crew falls ill to a strange flu-like ailment. Now stuck in thickening ice and fog, the few healthy crewmates set out to investigate a looming shape on the horizon.
Nothing is quite as it seems in this visceral and claustrophobic thriller.
In this well-researched and intricately plotted fictionalization of the disastrous Franklin Expedition, the crews of the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus reckon with frostbite, snow-blindness, disease, mutiny... and a monstrous creature on the ice. | 2019-04-22T18:05:37 | http://www.libraryaware.com/1179/NewsletterIssues/ViewIssue/0f85c570-236f-498d-b051-27e25b8e149c?postId=6ad45a52-788e-45af-abe7-08125840b6b8 |

Japan is home to some of the snowiest places on Earth. Jump into the nation's world-class snow!
Sun, snow and the great outdoors are plentiful at Grandeco Snow Resort. Located in western Fukushima Prefecture, this family-friendly resort is just three hours from Tokyo Station, offering a nice balance of creature comforts at the resort's luxury hotel and outdoor activities at the many lakes and forest trails in the surrounding Bandai-Kogen Highlands.
The snow season at Grandeco is quite long compared to other resorts in the area, starting in late November and running until the national Golden Week holiday in early May.
The resort boasts four covered high-speed quad lifts, so visitors can do as many laps as their legs will allow. The highest peak is 5,216 feet, and offers a long, cruisy 2.2-mile runfor children and beginner riders, with a smattering of more challenging courses for more experienced skiers and snowboarders. There are also great views and trails for snowshoe and cross-country skiing tours right in the area.
After all that snow fun, visitors can relax in the hotel's indoor and outdoor hot springs or even take a swim in the indoor pool (the outdoor pool opens from July to September). The 103-room hotel also has five restaurants and bars - great for family dinners or late-night escapes for parents. There are also plenty of fun activities for the whole family, such as volleyball tournaments and treasure hunting.
In late April to early May, visitors can catch the cherry blossoms blooming along the Kannonji River, where they can enjoy some hanami (cherry blossom viewing) festivities with friends and family before or after a day on the slopes.
A great destination in every season is Bandai-Asahi National Park. During the warmer months, travelers can enjoy playing in and around Lake Inawashiro, grabbing a stand-up paddleboard or getting in some wakeboarding across the clear waters of Japan's fourth largest lake.
The gondola at Grandeco also continues to run during the green season, and takes hikers to the start of a three-and-a-half-mile mountain trail that takes visitors to scenic Lake Hibara. Experience a constant change of scenery during this two-and-a-half-hour hike, including the Dekodaira Marshlands, Hyakkan Shimizu Spring and Nunotaki Falls. Nature tours with friendly English-speaking staff are also available.
If hiking isn't really your style, there’s a cruise that takes guests around Lake Hibara and offers stunning views of Mount Bandai, a 5,958-foot-high dormant volcano.
There are Three Sacred Mountains of Dewa - ski one and explore the traditions of the others.
Visitors to Japan's Tohoku region are spoiled for choice when it comes to the great outdoors.
Zao's top attractions - like the Fox Village - can be enjoyed long after Tokyo's blossoms have gone. | 2019-04-23T12:02:38 | https://us.jnto.go.jp/ski/archives/156/index.html |
Your at-a-glance guide to the highlights of what’s coming up on your screens!
The highly anticipated fourth series of Misfits returns to E4 on the 28th October and it’s sure to be amazing. With the departure of Kelly, Simon and Alisha and the introduction of three new characters, things are going to get shaken up, but with show runner Howard Overman telling fans (perhaps not 100% seriously) to expect ‘killer rabbits and the four horsemen of the apocalypse’, this series will definitely be one to watch.
For those patiently waiting for the next series of BBC comedy Miranda, there is some good news. Stars Miranda Hart and Tom Ellis confirmed that series 3 will air this year, but there is no specific date confirmed, with some saying ‘Autumn 2012’ and others stating it won’t come on until nearer to Christmas.
Reality TV-wise,the final of The X Factor is fast approaching. With the talent show competing with Strictly Come Dancing for the prime time Saturday night audiences, Simon Cowell and ITV are pulling out all the stops to ensure the live final in Manchester (the first time the final has been staged outside of London) will be the best yet. The producers have reportedly recruited music legends such as Beyonce, The Killers and Cher to perform with the finalists. BUt which contestants will reach the final show? Teenage sweetheart Ella Henderson? Boyband Union J, who are looking to copy the success of One Direction? Whatever happens, it will be a night to remember.
Sticking to the reality show theme, the controversial MTV hit Geordie Shore returns to British screens on 6th November. After last series’ ‘Chaos in Cancun’, the cast deal with the repercussions of their trip to Mexico, with some new additions to the house set to cause tensions within the group.
There’s bad news for fans of Community, who were expecting the return of the much-loved nerdy comedy last week; NBC has pushed back the Season 4 premiere to an unknown later date. This could be good for the show, as it allows more time for the network to market and promote it, but it means the fan base are going to have to wait a little bit longer for Jeff, Britta, Abed and the gang to return to their screens.
Meanwhile, many of the American shows put on hiatus due to the presidential debates and the new baseball season will resume over the next few weeks. One of these is Glee (returning on the 8th November), where we’ll find out how the kids are coping with the catastrophic events of the last episode, which saw some of the show’s main couples on the rocks. Still, there’s always the McKinley High production of Grease to lighten the mood.
Other shows from across the pond returning soon include the ever-popular Bones, as Booth and Brennan attempt to help Sweets through his break up, and New Girl, that comes back at the end of this month with a Halloween special. | 2019-04-19T02:51:31 | https://www.seren.bangor.ac.uk/entertainment/2012/10/27/tv-whats-on/ |

Swimming with dolphins has always been a popular tourist attraction, with visitors looking to interact with them in both the wild and in vast aquariums. To get a sense of how popular swimming with dolphins is, you only have to look at the number of places around the world that offer the activity.
Luana Ferreria in her article for TheTravel listed 20 top dolphin destinations that ranged from the Bahamas to Egypt. For those looking for an experience closer to home, Lottoland’s post on completing bucket lists details how Orlando, Florida is a popular tourist destination for its outdoorsy fun and surely swimming with “one of the ocean’s most intelligent mammals”.
5 Now You Know the Dolphins of Orlando Florida!
Disney Orlando has been already been featured on Pre Travels, but there are more resorts where you can have this amazing experience. One of these is the Epcot Center. TravelandLeisure.com highly recommends that you experience the Seas with Nemo & Friends attraction, especially if you’re bringing the entire family with you. Start with the slow-moving ride that travels through SeaBase, home to turtles, sharks, stingrays, and many more.
Up to eight guests can also participate in the Dolphins in Depth program, which includes a backstage tour featuring a three-hour presentation about bottlenose dolphins. There’s also a private in-water experience that lets you pet and take photos with the dolphins. The whole experience costs $199 per person and all participants must be at least 13-years-old.
For $179-$239, depending on the day and season, you can swim with dolphins at one of Florida’s very first marine mammal parks. According to TheCultureTrip.com, Marineland offers two options: shallow water swimming called Discover Dolphins and deep water swimming called the Immersion Program. Both options include an educational behind-the-scenes tour that highlights everything you need to know about dolphins.
• Bird-feeding Advanced reservations are required, so make sure you reserve a slot before heading to SeaWorld.
The base price for Florida residents is $220, while non-residents are offered the experience for $230-$350, depending on the day and season. The price includes food for the day, access to Discovery Cove’s beaches and swimming areas, a 14-day admission to SeaWorld, and the wetsuit and snorkeling equipment necessary. If you’re looking to spend at least 30 minutes with a dolphin Visit Florida notes that SeaWorld is your best choice. Their dolphin interaction includes petting, playing, and a dorsal fin tow-ride through the deep end of the lagoon.
What makes this park so special is the intimate experience that they offer. Whichever seat you choose in the arena you get great views of the mammals in action. There are plenty of dolphin experiences available onsite as well. If you’re a non-swimmer, you can simply get up close and personal with a dolphin.
You can also interact with the dolphins while standing in three to four feet of water and requesting cradles and kisses. But the best experience at the park is when you get to swim with the dolphins. For $199, you can touch and interact with a dolphin while swimming and snorkelling around the lagoon during the Swim with Dolphin program.
Brace yourself for the crowd, but it’s all worth it. Flights to Florida cost around $300, while hotel rooms cost at least $700 for a week’s stay. The entire experience will most likely cost you around $1,500 minimum.
Now You Know the Dolphins of Orlando Florida!
If you’re thinking of ticking this off your bucket list soon, the best time to go is during the summer. Spend time getting to know these amazing creatures! | 2019-04-22T02:14:25 | https://www.pretravels.com/know-the-dolphins-of-orlando/ |
This is our Mark-Paul "Glossary"
This is the bomb. Story angles, which turn into perfectly placed pitches, are built around themes relevant to the company and are distributed through all forms of media (including social). Note that business stories, vertical inclusions, and trend breakthroughs are all equally important.
For companies on the way to a public or private offering, analyst meetings are those in which key spokespeople discuss strategy, finances, investments/partnerships (read: any and all relevant upcoming announcements) with those well-versed in that sector.
This is the Big Picture. Over time, executing successful brand architecture establishes the organization’s aesthetic, core values, and foundational messages in the minds of your targets.
A media tactic: When answering a difficult question, neutralize it, then bridge to one or two pertinent points that you wish to make. The point is to never say the word no, no comment, or I’m not at liberty to say. The point is to say what you want and blow past the question. See: Kellyanne Conway.
Any successful campaign needs to take into consideration what’s been done before. How do we know that our messaging is on-target if we don’t know what the other guy is up to? Comp analysis is understanding the lay of the land in your category and bordering categories. Include in your analysis both actual and “perceived” competitors.
Not just reactive to situational incidents. A full crisis comms strategy should be developed on a sunny day in advance of the rain. If you don’t have it when it hits the fan, you are in trouble already.
Don’t mess up here! The media live and die by the clock. If you are late with the info, the reporter is late to her editor or producer. Deadlines are commitments made ahead of time on both sides (media and agency). Ignore them at your peril.
An embargo is the act of giving the necessary information to reporters beforehand, with the understanding this will not “go live” until a certain, agreed-upon date. This is all about strategic timing.
A media tactic: “I’d just like to reiterate” and other reminders of why you are there. A great way to wake up the interviewer and make your original messages heard.
The secret sauce to an effective PR strategy! After the pitch has been delivered via email, phone, or carrier pigeon, the work has barely begun. Everything hinges on what you do next. Reporters need to be guided through every stage of a story’s development because at any point along the way, if the ball is dropped, the story dies with it. Follow Up is also Follow Through: This is accurate, error-free, timely, upbeat, enthusiastic, delivery mode.
In order to do this effectively, leaders and their value props must be introduced to reporters and content producers in advance of story creation. This makes the media depend upon your spokespeople—think of you first.
In the new age of digital media, authoritative content creators across all digital and social platforms/channels must be incorporated into any successful marketing comms strategy. These individuals are the curators and tastemakers on the respective platforms where they have risen to prominence, effectively engaging the communities they’ve amassed.
Snack-sized journalism nibblets. Perfect for consumer-based audiences. These are short, lay-person-friendly written assets that take the form of bulleted knowledge and unique perspectives.
Certain topics are too dense to crank out overnight. Long lead stories are generally complex, highly nuanced articles or broadcast segments that can involve detailed research, investigation and/or deep dives into the category. Therefore, often stories of this nature are worked on by teams of contributors and can sometimes take as long as six to eight months.
Alerts are key to our newsroom strategy that allows for the dissemination of more frequent short-term messaging. This includes events, new features, “press stunts”, and day-of reminders of our leaders’ broadcast appearances.
RLM PR develops a list of questions for journalists and other content producers, and analyzes responses based on type, beat, reach, and geography.
Scraping the net and the newsstands multiple times per day to keep all stakeholders apprised of nascent topics and trends.
Sometimes there is no substitute for the impact and impression of face-to-face. These are strategically designed to achieve must-have stories–an anchor feature that a great campaigns depends upon. We introduce spokespeople to the “players” at outlets that will utilize a campaign’s themes and concepts.
Effective training starts with media-savvy messaging that you can deliver successfully. Then, we examine your story through media’s eyes and prepare you for any and all potential eventualities during interviews, including on camera. Real meat-and-potatoes media training prepares you for any eventuality. Parts of media prep can’t reinvent the wheel; certain things just plain do not work and other things do. This has been proven time and again. We teach you the tools of the trade.
The Rosetta Stone of every successful marketing comms campaign. Though subject to change throughout the campaign as material is tested in real time (but not too often), the message grid is the Bible from which our evangelical messaging is derived. It’s the who, what, when, why, and how of a company’s structure. It includes a description, an example, and a metric for each. The one road that all stakeholders on the client’s and agency’s side can count on for messaging consistency.
An organization’s vision crystallizes its reason for being. Get it right. Before the elevator door closes. Microsoft’s mission statement really works: “Empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.” How simple.
Native opportunities present yet another valid avenue for pushing your messaging. For example, you can uses native advertising to strategically place company announcements in pivotal industry trade publications. These “advertisements” are better known as sponsored content and have the look and feel of traditional editorial content. Often, readers cannot distinguish the difference. It is not P.R.
Stories are generally lumped into one of two categories: “evergreen” or “time-sensitive”. Linking a message or concept to the current news cycle is paramount to creating urgency and relevancy, all while deepening the context.
A series of bureaus from which content trickles out and down. These services (Reuters, Associated Press, Medill, Copley, et al) are often feeder media for many national newspapers, magazines and broadcast outlets who subscribe to them and share the content with readers and viewers. Perhaps the closest thing we have today that resembles the big three news networks of the 1970s.
This is why the term “press release” is complicated. Most people might not comprehend that a newswire release is essentially a piece of paid propaganda. It is virtually guaranteed a number of views (read: pickups, reprints, reruns) at pre-arranged destinations. Those are outlets of all sizes and levels of legitimacy that are compensated for running these pieces of crap. That being said, there use cases in which nothing achieves this function other than the newswire; in very limited instances it is effective. Example: Putting a highly “in the weeds” biomedical release so technical that an audience must be forced to read it. Therefore, you pay to get the word out.
An opinion piece in a newspaper or magazine (or broadcast outlet) that editorializes on an idea that is new and valuable. Often, this can take the form of reactive commentary in response to the news as much as it can introduce new, undiscussed ideas.
Owned media is just as it sounds: content that you or the agency create and own for yourself. From website content to sales material to IR decks and docs to Whitepapers to infographics, social media pages and e-newsletters, masterfully dominating owned media allows you to control and disseminate your messages to your audiences. Branded logos, designs—everything that’s already yours.
Stories that are procured as a direct result of a compensatory transaction with a reporter, outlet, or influencer. If executed correctly, paid media allows a company to take its content and push it further, to places and people it might not reach. Further, you can simply repurpose what you have and plug it into the paid equation.
RLM PR. Any more questions?
To be used sparingly. What one says when one is a boring company. And seemingly equipped with no other options. Which never happens, by the way!
Oh boy. Everybody and their grandmother has a definition of these two words. The problem is they’re almost always wrong. Reason is: there is not a cookie cutter template that is optimized for efficiency every time out. You need to consider it case by case. There are many complex factors—intended audience, targeting, desired outcomes, stakeholders—and this is never the same twice. Therefore, a press release is ever-evolving and must be handcrafted by masters..in a singular fashion each and every time. Put the utmost amount of consideration of a complex series of components into your work. Be cautious about a major release (read: anything other than personalized correspondence with reporters) unless the news itself is of material value.
Among the most important tools for PR success is being an effective source for media. This is RLM PR’s branded method of ensuring that media call you when they need information and quotes.
Many try and many fail to stage a spectacle of one kind or another to create long-lasting buzz. A good stunt fits with what is happening in the culture today. It has to fit the times. It can’t be something so obscure that no one will get it. It has to really hit people where they live. And most important, a good stunt is something people will tell others about without rolling their eyes.
This is the efficient communication of relevant, interesting and useful information that only our key spokespeople are uniquely equipped to deliver. It speaks directly to audiences and tells them exactly what they need to know. Traditional PR finds forums for your messages. But a truly effective total thought leadership campaign highlights specific aspects of your story. News outlets of all types—from blogs to daily newspapers to magazines to newsletters—are especially resource constrained these days, and are, therefore, particularly inclined to appreciate this content.
We are talking content. It is words (op/ed, bylines, blog posts, essays, etc.), images, infographics, video, and audio assets that the agency places in relevant venues, no matter what media platform. The agency works with you to gather pertinent information and packages it for distribution to all appropriate outlets.
RLM PR provides editors with relevant, timely and interesting trends that media haven’t heard or thought of before. We tap into specific issues that you can influence and own.
Before content marketing had a proper name, Whitepapers were the “it” marketing tool strategists used for thought leadership and to disseminate ideas to current/potential customers and the media. A home run Whitepaper is a value proposition document that clearly articulates a problem, a solution, and a plan to take that solution to market. The technical — and in many cases highly complicated — information must be clearly communicated for a lay audience. | 2019-04-21T04:47:03 | https://rlmpr.com/tactics-glossary/ |

How To Fix Paint Chips - What Kind of Car Should You be Driving?
Does your car have a few nicks and dings that you want to take care of? If you just have a few small auto body blemishes that you want to repair, you should consider fixing them yourself. Of course, the work can be a little technical, but it is actually easy to make most repairs if you have the right tools and supplies. This article explains what you need to properly fix small paint chips on your car surface.
Even if the paint chips are just small, it is definitely worthwhile to fix them. If you leave a paint chip alone for too long, it is going to get bigger. There is also a chance that the chip could penetrate down to the metal underneath, which would expose it and could lead to rusting. So, it is better to be safe than sorry and repair small paint chips as soon as you notice them. When you have the right supplies and realize how simple it is to do the work, you can instantly fix paint chips so they never become an issue.
The most important thing you need for this job is auto body touch up paint. You definitely want to get this directly from the dealership. There are third-party paints, but you are bound to have better luck if you buy paint directly from the manufacturer. The touch-up paint is extremely easy to use, and there is even a small paintbrush built into the lid. It is almost like a nail polish brush, so it is perfect for tiny paint chips.
Before you actually paint the chipped area, you will need some auto body sandpaper. You can also get this directly from most dealership repair shops. This is basically an ultra-fine, super smooth sandpaper. However, it is rough enough that it will slightly scuff up the existing auto body paint, creating a surface that is more conducive to the touch-up paint. That is, the touch-up paint will stick better to a surface that is a little rough. If you paint directly over perfectly smooth auto paint, it probably won't bond that well. The key to applying the touch-up paint is to apply it in a few coats. That is, you want to put it on very thinly, allow the coat to dry, and then apply the next coat. This way you will end up with a smoother surface than if you put it on thick.

Just as both sides in a war claim God on their side, so WWII American’s enlisted Santa to help fight their battle.
This 1944 ad for Interwoven Socks should be filed under vintage advertising we are not likely to see ever again in our politically correct culture.
A patriotic Santa comes to the aid of the Allies in this WWII Christmas advertisement for Interwoven Socks .
In 1943 while FDR, and Churchill conferred in Casablanca, apparently Uncle Sam was having a hush-hush tete a tete with Santa Claus in the North Pole, to strategize the war.
Appearing to wield powers far beyond those of mortal men- not unlike another super hero- Santa stomps out the Axis of Evil in one clean swoop of caricatures – Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo.
Clearly this ad should end the current Santa debate – Santa isn’t just white, he’s a red-blooded American! | 2019-04-19T10:37:34 | https://envisioningtheamericandream.com/2013/12/24/santa-takes-sides/ |
THE BATTLE FOR SANTA BARBARA ISLAND !
A war to save certain unique species of plant and bird life from extinction has been raging off and an on for the last four years close to the Californian mainland.
The unpublicized battles on Santa Barbara Island, one of two islands of the Channel Islands National Monument off the Ventura-Los Angeles coast, have been fought by biologists of the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with assistance from the California Department of Fish and Game. These battles are a desperate, last-minute attempt to preserve a species of giant sunflower, a species of song sparrow, and other flowers and small animals found nowhere else.
The enemy ? Rabbits, introduced to the island by early day farmers and again during World War II. The critters simply took over. The result was disasterous.
The National Park Service faces a parallel situation with respect to the non-native burros of Death Valley National Monument, which in the last 50 years have multiplied and spread through much of the mountainous parts of that region with devastating effects upon native vegetation and upon the native desert bighorn sheep.
No species of wildlife or plant ever should be introduced to an area without prior study to determine the possible effects on life already inhabiting that area. It's obvious that more harm than good often can and does occur when this precaution is not taken.
This Afterword regarding Lowell Sumner and Santa Barbara Island is noteworthy, if only because it shows that conservation off the coast of California had begun in the 1950s, a half-century ago. My research, thus far, indicates that Lowell Sumner's statements, reprinted above, are the first assertive writings by the National Park Service on alien non-native species in southern California. It is even more amazing that the NPS allowed a biologist was allowed to make these statements in writing in a public magazine article.
The delicate balance of this Californian island ecosystem, with its weedy grasses, Burrowing Owl, and many other terrestrial organisms is under threat now because not enough Americans realize the important work that the National Park Service is doing at Channel Islands National Park. It seems likely that the "weedy" and "grassy" habitats will now fall "prey" to the "predator-like" planning process. It is likely that many of the scientists, especially those with botany expertise, are going to recommend that this area be returned to a scrub, which may have dire repercusions for seabirds ability to nest on Santa Barbara Island. Restoration of native vegetation may be catastrophic for native birds and other native animals found on this unique island. This action of conversion of a meadowy coastal prairie to scrub would be disasterous for the Burrowing Owl and prairie raptors such as the Northern Harrier and Short-eared Owl, and for smaller raptorial-like birds such as the Loggerhead Shrike, which occasionally migrate to Santa Barbara Island. This area is also prime habitat for large flocks of Western Meadowlark. This region should remain as "weedy" coastal prairie. Furthemore, it needs to remain as short-grass prairie rather than tall-grass (bunchgrass) prairie, so that the raptors and ardeids can hunt most effectively. Let us hope this area remains as prairie.
Consider the Burrowing Owl: This owl which cannot burrow itself, depends completely on the burrowing activities of the seabirds. So when does an owl actually have a chance to use as seabird hole, such as that of an auklet hole for raising its own family of young owls? It depends on an auklet hole being found vacant. Now you know why the Burrowing Owl can be found on Santa Barbara Island.
I would like to conclude this afterword with some obvious observations that Jack von Bloeker made regarding the islands off southern California. It seems that we on a path of restoration which may eliminate the small delicate animals. Is it too late to bring back the reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds, to their former abundance? Not at all. Indirectly, the loss of the reptiles, amphibians, owls, harriers, and other animals on Santa Barbara Island is due to the Hollywood phenomenon and human behavior. Are you surprised? Don't be, it is yet one other way that Ecology functions. Ecological systems can collapse and cascade downward into lower biodiversity just as they can build "staircases" of complexity to higher biodiversity. However, building a staircase takes more time and money than tearing one down. Staircases can also need repair and management on a continuing basis. Thus, the metaphor of a staircase for an ecological system is a good one, not unlike Aldo Leopold's metaphor to a wristwatch, more than 50 years ago, in Sand County Almanac. | 2019-04-24T16:44:09 | http://www.naturespeace.org/santabarbara.lowellsumner1.htm |
The data analysis feature helps you understand the data you have uploaded to the AX Semantics systems. It delivers a brief overview of values that are stored in your data and counts them. This is done seperately for each data field.
When you have uploaded a large amount of data and before creating the text concept for you data, you need to know what you can expect in your data.
Imagine a data field “color”, which you want to text about. You need to know what exact colors are in your data and if they all fit into your text. Out of “red”, “green”, “blue”, “multicolor” all work, except “multicolor” which you would have to convert to “multicolored” to fit in a sentence. This new feature now delivers exactly that information and even counts how often a certain color is in all your data.

We live in Michigan. It is cold here.
It is snowy and dreary more months than it is warm and sunny. I should know snow. But every year, when the first snow hits it the same scene in our house.
"Where are my boots?" "My snowpants don't fit!" "I only found one boot!" "What am I going to dooooo?!"
Kids might miss a recess that day.
And just like our mismatched socks (which is a year long thing), our gloves too don't match. And some of the boys have been known to wear a pink glove or two when forced.
I joke that our yard looks like we were out playing and then the snow started falling and we just dropped everything we were doing and went inside.
Like when the snow starts falling we look up asking "what is this stuff?" and stumble indoors scratching our heads.
Maybe it is denial. I am so much more of a slip on your flip flops and run outside to play kind of person. Not get your hats, gloves, scarves, coats, snowpants, boots and don't forget your extra shoes to change into. I ALWAYS forget the extra shoes. What the hell am I doing in Michigan?
Last year I tried to embrace it. I supported hockey and ice skating for the family while I stayed home and made hot chocolate for everyone. I started getting really into Canada. And I finally learned to cut out awesome snowflakes. I went a little paper snowflake crazy and hung them everywhere.
But it didn't change anything this year with the first snow. We were running around like crazy people.
We should know snow. Especially since we have about eight more months of it.
Okay, I will try to like the idea of snow this year and be a better organizer of boots and stuff. Maybe I will try to get into Michigan. This web site and their shirts may help. Fun.
And seriously check out this site bustedhalo...I am pushing the Advent Calendar again because I love it and think it is so cool. | 2019-04-23T19:56:52 | http://www.jumpingwithmyfingerscrossed.com/2011/12/we-should-know-snow.html |

I love this idea! What kind of car did you get? I've been putting it off because I love not having a car payment, but will have to bite the bullet soon.
We had a tad bit of a car crisis so I ended up getting a new car sooner than planned, but I love it. It's a Nissan Altima. I think it might be the heated seats and keyless entry that really have me.
Have fun in Indianapolis. Writing by the numbers is fun. Give it a try.
This is a fun way to figure up your life.
I love that you have a new car. I'm not a particularly great car person, but I had to have a rental last week for a day & drove a brand new Nissan. I then realized that my honda, though in good shape, does not have as much zip as I thought it did. Also liked the whole "numbers" thing, as I did Carol's. It actually gives a lot of info, doesn't it? Thanks, Cathy.
Hondas can last forever. Smart buy!
Really like this format! Now we know you even more!
It's interesting to try to think about what numbers you would use to tell about yourself.
OK, now tomorrow I want the words that go with the numbers. What countries do you want to visit? What kind of new car are you driving? Have you really only lived in 3 houses? And who are the 7 educators in your family?
Carol, you are right. There are so many ideas tucked in here. Maybe that will save me tonight when I work on slice #25. Thanks for the idea!
I love this - can I try it? And you forgot 29 - the years you have been on this earth.
Please, borrow away. I borrowed the idea from Carol. I have pinned several "mentor posts" on Pinterest to get me started when I'm struggling. Ah, 29. I was trying to keep my age a secret. Now that I'm nearly 30 I try to not to have to reveal my age.
That's a LOT of songs on your iPod, Cathy. Must check how many I have. I doubt it is that many.
I saw someone else do a by the numbers post. You are so smart to keep a list of mentor posts on Pinterest. I started one on Evernote after you mentioned the idea to me. This is a great idea!
I think I'm going to have to do a numbers post too. I can't believe we are almost at the end of Slicing. Thanks Cathy for more inspiration! | 2019-04-24T06:43:36 | http://merelydaybyday.blogspot.com/2013/03/me-in-numbers-slice-of-life-24-of-31.html |
Two separate doses of Femara in one cycle?
fertility drugs in one cycle? She said she is keeping her eye on 8 eggs. If anyone could give me insight, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
hi! I've actually had 3 doses of femara in 1 cycle... I started with 2.5 which is my usual dose... but at my CD (cycle day) 12 ultrasound there was no growth... so then I took 5.0mg for 5 days (didn't wait for AF)... then 12 days later, still no follicles growing... like you, lots of follicles jut nothing growing... so then they upped my dosage to 7.5 mg for 5 days (still no AF)... but then at the 12 day ultrasound I finally had 1 20 mm follicle!! that cycle resulted in a BFN (big fat negative (pregnancy test)) for me, so now I start at 10mg femara but this cycle I got 2 follicles, so it's working.
good luck!! hope this next ultrasound you see some growth!
Thank you for your insight. Keep me updated!!!! I’ll keep you updated too. Did you note side effects?
I had no side effects. I absolutely love femara!!!!
I used clomid preciously and it would make me bloated and crampy and then my lining was too thin and my CM (cervical mucus) was completely dried up... with femara, I haven't noticed any side effects... and it gets me to O!
Any hope? Or should I be mentally prepared to be told I am MC?
Help me thicken my lining!!! | 2019-04-25T06:45:04 | https://community.babycenter.com/post/a73406947/two-separate-doses-of-femara-in-one-cycle |

No. 3 UCLA finished the preseason undefeated, leaving the Bruins and fellow Pac-12 team No. 1 Washington as the only remaining undefeated teams in the NCAA.
UCLA (24-0) swept past Michigan State (10-11), San Jose State (15-9), Boston University (8-12), Ohio State (14-2) and Long Beach State (19-7) in the Louisville Slugger Invitational, outscoring their opponents 47-7.
The Bruins won via the mercy rule in four of their five games this weekend, which has been a theme throughout the preseason. Thirteen of the 24 games played by the Bruins have ended early.
Friday’s doubleheader ended with a pair of five-inning, 10-0 victories over Michigan State and San Jose State.
Nine different batters had a base hit for the Bruins against the Spartans, seven of whom drove in a run.
Freshman Holly Azevedo and Rachel Garcia – who was named National Fastpitch Coaches Association Player of the Week and USA Softball Co-Player of the Week – both picked up a pair of victories over the weekend.
Garcia picked off where she left off last week going 2-for-2 with a walk against San Jose State, adding a game-sealing home run, two RBIs and three runs scored, while also pitching a complete game and allowing just one base hit.
The mercy-rule streak continued Saturday as UCLA defeated Boston 10-2 in six innings.
The Bruins only managed one extra base hit, a double by junior third baseman Brianna Tautalafua, yet still managed to score 10 runs. The Terriers committed one throwing error and threw four wild pitches, helping the Bruins tack on runs.
Azevedo gave up two earned runs in six innings, allowing six hits, walking three and striking out one.
After giving up a pair of singles in the second and failing to record an out on a fielder’s choice, the bases were loaded with one out and UCLA up 4-0.
Boston would score a run on a wild pitch from Azevedo before the freshman stranded two, recording a ground out and flyout to end the inning with runners on second and third. The Terriers left eight runners on base.
Sunday presented UCLA with the opportunity to square off against ranked opponents before Pac-12 play.
No. 16 Ohio State held the No. 3 UCLA lineup to five hits yet still managed to lose 11-0.
The Bruins were up early after freshman shortstop Briana Perez blasted a two-run home run in the second inning.
UCLA then scored eight runs in the fifth to secure their fourth consecutive mercy-rule victory. The Buckeyes self-imploded, giving up a double, walking five, hitting two batters, tossing a wild pitch and surrendering a pair of RBI singles within the inning.
Senior Selina Ta’amilo pitched a complete game, giving up two hits and striking out two in five innings of work.
The final game of the invitational proved to be the toughest as the Bruins squared off against the host, No. 21 Long Beach State.
The 49ers got on the board in the first, hitting a two-out RBI single off of Garcia.
UCLA responded with a five-run fifth inning that began with a bases loaded walk drawn by right fielder Julie Rodriguez. Freshman designated player Malia Quarles hit a deep sacrifice fly to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead.
A pair of singles from Perez and Washington pushed UCLA up 5-1 before Long Beach State got a run back in the bottom of the inning.
Freshman Aaliyah Jordan then hit a solo home run toward left center that would end up counting for the decisive run since the 49ers got three runs back on a pair of doubles in the sixth inning.
The Bruins missed an opportunity to add insurance runs in the top of the seventh, loading up the bases with one out, but failing to drive any in.
The 49ers went out quietly in the bottom of the seventh as Garcia shutout Long Beach State, pitching a complete game pushing UCLA to 24-0 for the season.

Disclosures in the federal budget about excessive superannuation fund charges imposed on low income earners and younger members should be brought to the attention of commissioner Kenneth Hayne for further investigation.
Hayne should also have a look at insurance cover in super given that it is inappropriate for younger members with low balancesand multiple accounts to be paying life insurance premiums.
These two profitable areas of the retirement savings system have been in need of reform for years but vested interests have fought to keep the regulators and government at bay.
But on Tuesday night financial services minister Kelly O'Dwyer belled the cat on the fee gravy train earned from low income earners and also the unwarranted life insurance premium bonanza for the five companies that control 90 per cent of the $5.7 billion a year group life market.
It could be argued that measures introduced through O'Dwyer's portfolio will have a greater financial impact on a larger number of Australians than Treasurer Scott Morrison's tax cuts.
The first phase of Morrison's tax cuts helps 4.4 million Australians but the two main measures introduced by O'Dwyer will help at least 5 million people and have a lasting impact on their ability to boost the compound returns on their retirement savings.
O'Dwyer's main measures are a 3 per cent cap imposed on administration and investment fees on low balance accounts, a ban on exit fees when leaving a super fund, the introduction of opt-in insurance for low balance accounts, inactive accounts and the accounts of new members under 25.
As expected the leading companies in the group life insurance industry and their paid consultants have pushed back hard against the life insurance changes.
But Chanticleer wonders if this is because O'Dwyer's crack down could have serious implications for the complex and opaque financial engineering that underpins many group life schemes.
There is very little public disclosure of how group life schemes work apart from the evidence unearthed at a parliamentary joint committee inquiry into life insurance. But the majority of super fund members would have no idea about the way these schemes work.
The group life schemes involve intricate profit smoothing arrangements and the questionable movement of money backwards and forwards between super funds and suppliers of group life cover.
Chanticleer believes the schemes actually cannot be regarded as genuine insurance cover because the contractual arrangements between the funds and the life companies virtually guaranteed a set profit margin.
It is more than slightly bizarre that if the claims experience is worse than expected a fund will pay money to the group life company to cover the cost of that worsening in claims experience. If claims experience is better than expected, the group life insurer pays money back to the fund.
This leads to the creation of somewhat opaque insurance reserves, which are used to meet payments back to the group life insurer. Of course, this system may not work too well if all the younger members paying for insurance suddenly decide they no longer want to opt-in.
It is true that life insurance fulfils an important role in society by pooling the financial strength of many to cover the cost of unexpected events including death or permanent disability.
But it is inappropriate for younger super members to have insurance when they have no dependents, no mortgage and no contingent liabilities.
Their first priority ought to be maximising the amount of money in savings which can earn compound returns for retirement.
Insurance in super became automatic for super fund members after it was mandated as part of the MySuper changes introduced in 2013 by Bill Shorten when he was financial services minister.
Life insurance is worthy of investigation because it involves people being "sold" a financial product that is not suited to their circumstances.
The clear disconnection between life insurance in super and the insured members was summed up well by Treasurer Scott Morrison in his budget night speech.
"We will stop superannuation funds from forcing young people under 25 or with low balances to pay for life insurance policies they have not asked for or do not need," he said.
Paying for something you have not asked for or do not need has parallels with the fee-for-no service issues at AMP which were exposed at the Hayne inquiry.
Automatic life cover has been a bonanza for life companies partly because there are so many duplicated super accounts in Australia. Treasury estimates there are 9.5 million low balance accounts in Australia but about 3.5 million of these are duplicates.
On Wednesday TAL, which is the second largest provider of group life cover, said the carve-out of young people from insurance and the proposed changes to insurance for members with low balances will have a significant impact, particularly on those in higher risk occupations and those with below average salaries.
CELO Brett Clark said: "TAL is concerned about the proposal to change arrangements for insurance in superannuation from opt-out to opt-in for under 25s. For blue collar and higher risk occupations it is important that Australians have the appropriate level of insurance."
It was Clark who warned the Financial Services Council in April against pushing ahead with its plan to have an enforceable code of conduct in life insurance.
The FSC, led by Sally Loane, backed off after being told by Clark that he was worried that if the FSC went ahead with an enforceable code it would "fracture" the super industry.
O'Dwyer was extremely disappointed late last year when the industry decided on a voluntary code. It used the excuse that it had legal advice that such a code would conflict with the duties of super fund trustees.
Chanticleer understands the lobby groups and bodies representing industry super funds were very much against the implementation of an enforceable code.
It was very late in the 13-month long deliberations of the Insurance in Super Working Group (ISWG) that Industry Super Australia suddenly withdrew from the process.
A report prepared for the ISWG by KPMG, which was paid about $450,000 for its various consulting work found that low income earners, females and younger members could boost their retirement savings if they stopped paying insurance premiums.
"The key finding of this report is that income level has the largest effect on the impact of default insurance on retirement compared to age or gender," KMPG said.
"For example, the impact on the retirement savings for females aged 35 to 39 earning between $18,200 and $37,000 is 14 per cent, compared to 44 per cent for females of the same age earning less than $18,200."
The failure of the industry to agree on a sensible way forward caused the minister to act. It is a good example of action when it was needed.
Not only are low balance accounts paying for insurance they must pay very high fees for administration and investment. Treasury analysis released on Tuesday shows the median annual administration and investment fees on MySuper accounts with balances of $1000 are nine per cent of the balance.
It should not take Hayne long to conclude that these charges are over the top and fall well below community standards and expectations and are worthy of investigation. Fees of this kind would eat away at member balances until they disappeared.
O'Dwyer's move to cap administration fees on low balance accounts at three per cent is smart and long overdue. Latest data shows that there were around 13 million inactive super accounts or accounts with balances below $6000, which is about half of all the accounts in the super system. | 2019-04-23T09:57:32 | https://www.plasticsinsurance.com.au/news/may-2018/federal-budget-2018-kenneth-hayne-should-probe-super-fees-insurance |
The Formentera Council bureau of tourism reports that today through Sunday, visitors dropping in at Flavourites, a travel expo in Amsterdam, won't just get an eyeful of Formentera—they'll get its gastronomy, too.
CiF tourism secretary Alejandra Ferrer described the trade fair—“an opportunity to meet end users face to face in the street”, she said—as mainly about new experiences, and particularly those of the gastronomical variety. “The Netherlands are a growing market for the island”, pointed out Ferrer. In the last twelve months connections with Eivissa are up 2.4% and tourism officials cite upticks in recent years in the number of Dutch tourists opting to spend their holidays on Formentera.
Formentera's stand is decked out in photos of the sea and nature scenes, and Dutch-language promotional material features everything from general interest information to the island's catalogue of hometown gastronomy. A four-piece set of posters has also been teed up for the occasion so visitors can put up shots of Formentera around the house.
The goal, says Ferrer, is to reach thousands and spread the word about Formentera among travellers keen on nature, gastronomy and once in a lifetime experiences.
Formentera has also brought in BALTRUS Communication for promotional assistance at Flavourites, where the company's representatives will be able to give first-hand information about the island in Dutch. | 2019-04-24T11:55:56 | http://www.consellinsulardeformentera.cat/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5901%3Aformentera-promociona-la-seva-gastronomia-a-holanda&catid=111%3Aturisme&Itemid=528&lang=ca |

The 17 April 2013 was the day that a dream became reality. It was the moment when Donna Finnie was appointed Head Coach of the Houston Baptist University (HBU) women’s basketball team and in the process became the first British coach to head an NCAA Division 1 basketball programme.
Finnie, who is an Applied Sports Science graduate from Heriot Watt University, has climbed the ladder from a voluntary coach while studying, to becoming one of the most respected youth coaches in Scotland, as she will take to the floor on Friday night as Head Coach in HBU’s season opener against UT Arlington.
“So far at HBU I have had many special moments, I truly believe I am blessed for being given the opportunity to lead this program going forward,” Finnie said when talking to Hoopsfix earlier this week.
“HBU is a special place and what makes it are the people. I believe the best moments are yet to come though as the group we have this year is a special group! Beginning playing in our new conference is exciting, Southland play will be a huge challenge, but one we are all excited about.
After graduation, the 36 year old Finnie worked for Basketball Scotland for nine years, the first six of which she took she took Scottish U18 teams to Texas in America for three weeks of basketball, to play games against high school teams.
Eventually her time and hard work in the trenches paid off, as she won the European Championship Division C titles in 2005 and 2006 with the U18 and U16 teams, respectively.
Rose Anderson, Becca Allison, Mairi Buchan, Siobhan Moore and Annie Rowan, all of whom had been members of her teams, went on to play for the Great Britain U20 team. Anderson was the only Scottish player to represent Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics, while Allison and Buchan (twice) represented Great Britain at the World Student games.
Despite all this success, Finnie’s toughest challenge was getting Scotland to be more competitive at the U18 Division B level. She started the reconstruction in 2007, and things were looking up in 2008 with Scotland picking up their first victories.
The 2009 squad, which may have been her strongest team in terms of experience ,was denied the chance of playing in the 2009 Championship because the event was held in Israel.
While 2009 marked the end of a three-year development cycle, she took the U18 programme one more time in 2010, before bowing out of Scottish Basketball.
Although the 2010 season did not end they way she had hoped, her one satisfaction that summer was the GB U20 European Championship victory, because two girls from her youth programmes were part of the winning team: Becca Allison and Mairi Buchan.
Looking back at the rise of British women’s basketball at youth level, Finnie’s contribution is often forgotten at GB U20 level. After winning promotion in 2010, GB finished 8th in 2011 which is the best placing of any British team at a Division A championship.
Deanne Hayward, Erin McGarrachan (GB U20 captain 2012) and Kathryn Taylor were three more players from Finnie’s programme that were on the GB U20 roster the second year.
Finnie left the Scottish basketball scene in September 2010 to become assistant coach at HBC, a long time dream of hers.
“In terms of coaching in an educational environment, it is key to me, as I believe players should have a plan, and set goals; both on the court as a basketball player, but post college in “real life”,” she said.
When Mary Gleason resigned as Head Coach of the Houston Baptist University women’s basketball team in March 2013, the door opened for Donna Finnie to become the first British coach be at the helm of an NCAA Division 1 basketball programme.
She is the second British woman heading an NCAA team; Jennifer Leedham (sister of GB star, Jo Leedham) is the other one, at Franklin Pierce University, a Division 2 school.
“I feel like since being here in the US I have developed so much as a coach and have had some unique challenges to face which I had never encountered in Europe,” she concluded.
I know this is a stretch, but are you linked to Leslie Finnie who married Stewart in Scotland back in the 60’s. I roomed with Leslie in Ayr and would like to connect again. | 2019-04-21T20:51:15 | https://women.hoopsfix.com/brits-abroad/flower-of-scotland-donna-finnie-ready-to-make-history/ |

A new gym in Kampot Town | I see Cambodia!
Recently a school’s teacher opened a gym – practically there are not gyms in the town, out of some hotels and guest houses, which are by default mostly exclusive to their guests. The Blue Star Ping Pong Club is very well located at the river west side, north of the new bridge (Sky Street). The fee is 3,000 Riel one hour and it has in general good machines plus the ping pong and tennis tables. It is a good opportunity to share also with locals.
Kampot Town will become a very attractive city if there is a good planning underway. It has what any city of our planet would dream: a stunning bay, a river and hills and caves. Lacks: roads and architecture preservation. Kampot is a gathering of peoples: Khmer, Sino-Khmer, Viet-Khmer, Cham and, of course, Barang. It is very curious to see that although Kampot is not much promoted as an international tourist destination, actually it attracts many foreign visitors. It says a lot already. The tourist vocation of Kampot, as Kep, must be eco-tourism. | 2019-04-19T16:40:36 | https://cambodia1.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/a-new-gym-in-kampot-town/ |

Since day one with Ezra, we have faithfully used our Beluga Wraps on repeat. Now with our second baby, Miss Isla Jane, I am using these wraps even MORE, having a toddler and a new born is no joke and also ‘no hands’ if you don’t have a Beluga Wrap!
Recently Beluga Baby launched two brand new products; the first being their Oversized Bamboo Swaddles. These things are HUGE. 35 x 35 inches and pure, buttery soft, bamboo goodness. They are the perfect companion, wether it be wrapped around them, cozy in the stroller or the comfort piece your child that cant leave their side while walking around the house. This swaddle is what babies and toddlers dream of.
When we first put Isla in a swaddle I didn’t think it was going to work, as she is a babe who likes to be free and kick around. You know, feel-the-wind-between-her-toes kind of girl. We wrapped her up, criss crossed and zig zagged this little bean and she was as happy as a clam, laid there completely content, smiling away.
One of my favourite ways to use the swaddle, other than swaddling, is to layer with Isla’s favourite fuzzy blanket. She has this white fluffy little thing that she cannot sleep without, but when we are out and she has it in the carseat, it is really easy for her to kick it off. Beluga Baby to the rescue! Because of the amazing four way stretch this bamboo fabric blend has, it easily curves and tucks in to wherever you need and stays put!
We are never without a blanket because the swaddles, much like the classic Baby Carriers are SO compact! They are made of the thin, but durable Bamboo Cotton Blend and can appear large, but fold up SO small that you could fit one in your jacket pocket – perfect for those cooler days!
When Ezra grew out of the Baby Carriers, I was sad and little bit heart broken that the Beluga era had ended, but then, BAM, doll carriers!
The second item that they launched was their amazing Doll Carriers, these came out just in time for baby #2 and for Ezra to start practicing to be a big sister! Ezra’s eyes LIT UP when she saw that she could wear her most cherished dollies around the house and out while grocery shopping. She was ecstatic to have her very own carrier to keep her BunBun close and still be able to carry a bag of fishies while sipping her apple juice. She had no idea what she was in for once her baby sister came along. | 2019-04-26T12:00:28 | https://stumblinggrace.com/author/thecassra/ |

In his weekly Presidential Youtube-radio address, President blasts Senate Republicans for blocking unemployment insurance extensions while attempting to make one of the main causes of the deficit -- Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy -- permanent.
Three times, the Senate has tried to temporarily extend that emergency assistance. And three times, a minority of Senators – basically the same crowd who said “no” to small businesses – said “no” to folks looking for work, and blocked a straight up-or-down vote.
Some Republican leaders actually treat this unemployment insurance as if it’s a form of welfare. They say it discourages folks from looking for work. Well, I’ve met a lot of folks looking for work these past few years, and I can tell you, I haven’t met any Americans who would rather have an unemployment check than a meaningful job that lets you provide for your family. And we all have friends, neighbors, or family members who already knows how hard it is to land a job when five workers are competing for every opening.
Now in the past, Presidents and Congresses of both parties have treated unemployment insurance for what it is – an emergency expenditure. That’s because an economic disaster can devastate families and communities just as surely as a flood or tornado.
Suddenly, Republican leaders want to change that. They say we shouldn’t provide unemployment insurance because it costs money. So after years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit, including a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, they’ve finally decided to make their stand on the backs of the unemployed. They’ve got no problem spending money on tax breaks for folks at the top who don’t need them and didn’t even ask for them; but they object to helping folks laid off in this recession who really do need help. And every day this goes on, another 50,000 Americans lose that badly needed lifeline.
Well, I think these Senators are wrong. We can’t afford to go back to the same misguided policies that led us into this mess. We need to move forward with the policies that are leading us out of this mess. | 2019-04-22T06:41:34 | http://thejoshuablogs.blogspot.com/2010/07/weekly-presidential-address.html |
Love is a universal language. Is it also a universal theme that people should try in their lifetime? With Love Potion casino slot online, the player would find out if love wins or if love is just another one of those things that break the bank.
Indeed, when one is asked about love, there are a lot of things that he or she may say. Love does make the world go round, but in the process, it will make your heartbreak.
This may be the reason why there are not a lot of slot machines with love as their main theme. Love Potion casino slot online is one of those slot machines that used the rare idea of love as the main theme.
Inspired by the patron saint of love, St. Valentine, this slot machine shows what it is like to love during the Victorian Era when not everything is going on smoothly, and every single person wants to find love.
The graphics were somewhat poorly done with the way that the old Victorian themed slot machines are usually done. There are a lot more slot machines out there that are on the same theme, and if one is looking for that, this is not the game that he or she should try.
The sound effects are a little bit better than the graphics so the player should be able to reconcile the lapses a little bit.
All in all, the main thing that one should keep in mind when he or she would play Love Potion slot machine online is that even if the theme is good and even if the execution is pretty good, there are far better things ahead than just those two.
How many reels should the player expect to see? There are 5 reels altogether.
How many pay lines? There are 9 pay lines. For each pay line there should be at least 1 coin.
Is it a progressive jackpot? No, it is not a progress jackpot so the gamer cannot expect to win everything that comes out of the screen.
What is the maximum number of coins that the bettor can bet? The player can bet a total of 0.25 coins.
What jackpot should be expected by the player? The maximum jackpot of $12,500 should be expected by the player, and that is amazing if you ask this critic.
What is the maximum jackpot? The maximum jackpot is 50000 total coins.
Is there a multiplier that would increase my winnings? Yes, there is a multiplier that comes with the whole game so the player would increase his winnings even if it is just through sheer dumb luck.
Does it have a scatter symbol? Yes, it has a scatter symbol and the player would certainly be surprised to see it.
Are there some free spins? Yes, there are free spins so the gamer can get more value for his money.
What is the betting range? The betting range is from $0.01 up to $45.
How about the coin betting range? The coin betting range ranges from $0.01 up to $0.25.
How many coins per line should the gamer place in the slot machine? The player should place around 20 coins for each line.
Is there a bonus game? Yes, there is a bonus round. This bonus round allows the player to have a little bit more fun and enthusiasm from his game. There are two bonus rounds that come out of the screen. There is the Free Spins Bonus and there is the Love Struck Bonus. The truth of the matter is that there are a lot of fun things for each bonus round so one should look out.
Does it have a wild symbol? Yes, Love Potion casino slot online has a wild symbol.
Does it have a Gamble feature? Yes, this slot machine has a gamble feature. This option allows the player to get a little bit more out of his winnings or lose everything. It is kind of a double or nothing kind of wager and that is enough.
Play Love Potion for real money and the reality of the love bite will get to you. Every person who tries this slot machine would see why love is not a good theme to play with when gambling. However, it is a fun and an excellent source of entertainment. Unlike others of the same theme, a person will not lose sleep and waste time with this slot machine. | 2019-04-24T16:37:41 | http://slotmine.com/love-potion/ |
Indicative of poor administrative controls within ICO perhaps?
Thanks for highlighting this, John.
Do you know if there is any way (FOI?) by which we could find out more about this case and the basis for the ICO’s dramatic change of mind. Based on my reading of the original Enforcement Notice (as memory serves), even if there were fewer complaints than originally believed there would still have been a case to answer.
wrongly so or not, do you think?
Hi Steve – so difficult to know if we don’t have the full details. I’ve asked the Tribunal for the case papers, but no reply as yet. | 2019-04-20T12:24:36 | https://informationrightsandwrongs.com/2018/10/01/ico-were-very-sorry-we-fined-you/?share=google-plus-1 |

[SOLVED] Which one is better and what diffrences are between these two Intel CPU ?
The 9400f has the igpu disabled, but 100 mhz higher boost clock. They should be simillar in performance, but if you care about the igpu go for the 8400... if you dont just get the newer 9400f, it should have the edge by a really small margin.
The integrated GPU is nice for debugging and troubleshooting issues, but unnecessary for 99% of the time if using a discrete GPU. 9400f is newer and slightly faster, but realistically there is little difference between the 8th generation and 9th generation chip other than disabled igpu. The 9400f is much cheaper, an incredible deal if you ask me, so I'd buy the 9400f if using a GPU.
The Core i5-9400F 6-Core and the Core i5-8400 6-Core are from the same family of CPUs, and thus their clock speeds are directly comparable. With this in mind, it is safe to say that with a 0.1 GHz faster base clock rate, the Core i5-9400F 6-Core manages to provide marginally better performance than the Core i5-8400 6-Core. What is more, the Core i5-9400F 6-Core also manages to eke 0.1 GHz higher frequency when being stressed by CPU-intensive applications.
The normal i5-9400 with enabled iGPU has the same MSRP with the F variant so if you can find one you should go for that.
You can't find a 9400 anywhere with similar pricing to the 9400f, thanks to Intel production issues.
I think this was mostly answer, but i'd get whats cheaper, and whilst the 9400 has a disabled graphic cards wich is indeed meaning 99.99% of the time, it could be indeed user for troubleshoot and one more thing: dual screens.
Okay so lets say that i wanna game on a pc or edit videos, should i need a igpu or should i go for the 9400f ?
if you wanna game, you need a dedicated graphics cards, meaning you don't need and igpu, same should apply for editing, the only 2 advantages of an igpu would be the backup graphics in case your dedicated gpu dies, or you want to add a second screen tied to the processor igpu so that it wont use more resources of your dedicated gpu thus making it slower, just keep in mind that doing this will however require a little bit more resources of the cpu itself as you'll be keeping some stuff on the second screen also requiring resources out of your cpu.
short answer, if the 9400 is considerably cheaper, you want it, if the difference isnt really that much... having the backup igpu for the previously said reasons seems wiser to me.
does it make a huge diffrence? | 2019-04-26T14:45:54 | https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/which-one-is-better-and-what-diffrences-are-between-these-two-intel-cpu.3461630/ |
