For true man cave guys, football isn’t just a game. It is a spectacle to be revered and worshipped by those who live and die by each dropped touchdown pass, and it’s an experience only real man cave guys can understand. Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to turn our man caves into shrines for our favorite teams. Whether you’re an NFL fan that has a standing reservation on your couch Sunday afternoons or a college football fan that lives for Saturdays each fall, there are plenty of man cave items you can purchase to make your man room a place to remember.
NFL Fathead Wall Graphics NFL Fathead Wall Graphics These come in life sized player pictures, smaller NFL team logos, helmet decals and much more. You are sure to find a Fathead you like!
NFL Snack Helmet NFL Snack Helmet Hey form and function! Make use of your NFL helmet by serving up chips & dip.
NFL Protoast Toasters NFL Protoast Toasters What better way to get game day started than toast with your team's logo branded on it. Great for grilled cheese too!
NFL Replica Helmet NFL Replica Helmet It looks cool in our cave! Pay tribute to your favorite team by proudly displaying their helmet. A smaller version is also available.
NFL Side Table by Imperial NFL Side Table by Imperial These tables fit perfect next to chairs & sofas. Made from quality hardwoods the top is reversible showing a plain panel for non-game days and your NFL logo on game day.
As we all know, the man cave must have many comfortable chairs and sofas to sit on while rooting our team on to victory. Whether you’re looking for a recliner to kick back in for hours or a sofa that lets you stretch out for a quick nap during halftime, there’s no shortage of football-themed furniture to fill up the man cave. A great example of a man cave football recliner is the NFL Fan Favorite Recliner and these come in MLB team colors too. Very affordable, it’s a great way to be comfortable while watching your favorite team. Decked out in team colors and complete with team logos, it’s a great addition to the man cave. If it’s a sofa you need, one of the coolest that we’ve found is the NFL Convertible Sofa. A great addition if you’re wanting a more casual look to your man cave, it can be adjusted to three different positions and lays out flat like a bed if needed. As an added bonus, it’s got a drop-down snack tray in the middle that fitted with cup holders, letting you have your cake and eat it too while catching the game. Available in both NFL and college team themes, it’s a great deal.
If you really want your man cave to feel like a football shrine, it’s got to have some great wall decor. And let’s face it, nothing says true football fan like having autographed posters of your favorite players hanging on your walls. These man cave items can come in the form of inexpensive posters, football graphics from Fathead, or autographed framed pictures. Today’s posters are not like what you had on your bedroom walls as a kid. Instead, they come in frames and are on high-gloss paper that turn them into works of art rather than mere pieces of paper on a wall. We’ve found some great man cave items that depict both college and NFL players at their most triumphant moments. If you’re an old-school man caver when it comes to the NFL, you’ve got to have the autographed poster of former N.Y. Giant quarterback Y.A. Tittle on your wall. Personally signed by the QB and complete with certificate of authenticity, it shows Tittle kneeling in the end zone after a tough game. If it’s college stars you want to worship, consider the Vince Young poster. While his NFL career has fizzled, there’s no denying he was one of the all-time greats in college. This poster shows Young sprinting into the end zone during the national championship game against the Trojans of Southern Cal, as he led his Texas Longhorns to the Rose Bowl win and a place in history. If you’re a Texas fan or just a college football fan in general it’s a must-have for the man cave.
Every man needs a cold beer in the fridge on game day and the best way to show your pride is to pull a cold one out of your NFL football team refrigerator. These fridges come in every team color and hold plenty of beverages, up to 24 twelve ounce cans. Even better if you decide to tailgate at the stadium you can take the fridge with you because it will run off car lighter socket or home outlets.
All good man caves need plenty of kitchen gadgets to make sure food is always available. As we all know, one rule of the man cave is no one shall ever be hungry before, during or after the big game. Since some big games have early starting times on Saturdays or Sundays, it’s sometimes necessary to have breakfast in the man cave. When you’re wanting a good piece of toast in your man cave, a great and inexpensive piece of essential equipment is a toaster complete with your favorite team’s logo. Ranging in price, it looks great on your counter and is sure to spark conversation while waiting on that perfect piece of toast. Some are available in team colors, while others may be black or silver and display a team logo. As an added bonus, each piece of toast comes with your team’s logo burned into the bread, giving you a piece of toast you can be proud of while showing there’s nothing you won’t do for your favorite team.
During the game there is nothing better than to head over to the NFL crock pot or slow cooker and in reach to get some piping hot chili with corn bread on the side. These crock pots come in all NFL team colors and proudly display your teams logo. In addition to chili, you can also do a stew ahead of time and keep it hot while the game is on. If chili or stew isn’t your thing then a crock pot filled with little smokies hits the spot with that tangy sauce. Here is one our favorite recipes which is really simple and any man cave dweller can follow no matter the skills in the kitchen.
Place all ingredients in slow cooker on low for about 45 minutes to an hour. This is a simple, cheap way to satisfy a group of hungry football fans! it only costs around $10 to feed 6 or 7 people.
Whether you’re expecting a big crowd for the day or you’re flying solo in your man cave, you’ve got to have plenty of bowls filled with snacks and other essentials. One of the best bowls we’ve found is the NFL Snack Helmet or the college football snack helmet. A full-size replica helmet, it comes with a two-compartment tray in the facemask and a large bowl in the top of the helmet. Both can be put in the microwave to heat up nachos or anything else your stomach desires, giving you and your buddies an interesting way to eat chips, candy and other fine foods. All NFL teams and most college teams are available, so break open those bags of chips and M&M’s and fill up your helmet.
Of course, you need a table to set your snack helmet on, and there are some good ones out there as well. Some of the best are the side tables made by Imperial. Made of select hard woods, these tables have a team logo on the top section. However, the top section panel is reversible, so if you need the table for another occasion you can simply flip the section upside down to have a standard table at the ready. Reasonably priced, these tables are a great addition to any man cave. If you’re interested, they also offer an NFL coffee table.
So whether it’s college football or the NFL, there’s plenty of items out there to help you root for your favorite team in the man cave. If you can’t find the item you want in your favorite team’s colors then you can do what any man loves to do… wrap it in duct tape. Duck brand duct tape comes in enormous numbers of team logos from a wide variety of sports and plenty of other manly patterns like wood paneling, camouflage, mustache and Star Wars. So no matter what man cave ideas you have, there is no excuse, now you can wrap that support beam in the basement (or anything else on the planet) with your team’s logo.
The number of football man cave ideas are endless. So after getting everything you need to prove you are indeed your favorite team’s biggest fan, you can sit back in your recliner, turn on your HD television, grab a beer from the fridge and eat some little barbequed sausages. Does it get any better than this? | 2019-04-24T10:47:18 | http://mancavedetails.com/man-cave-items-for-a-football-shrine/ |

The growing menace of antibiotic resistance is, arguably, the single biggest threat faced by the world's population. However, in 2014 a change in direction has occurred with the announcement of two new antibiotics.
The first of the new antibiotics is called Dalvance. This is an intravenous drug that can treat skin and soft tissue infections.
The second drug is called Oritavancin. Oritavancin is a lipoglycopeptide with bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
Both of these new antibiotics are discussed in a new paper by Tim Sandle. | 2019-04-21T22:31:20 | http://www.pharmamicroresources.com/2015/01/the-growing-menace-of-antibiotic.html |
Today a dynamic, tightly focused body with 25 member denominations, the Council began in 1944 with tremendous enthusiasm as 10 Christian churches sought to work together to fulfill their call to mission, service, religious education, and evangelism. Together their professed adherents represented more than 45 per cent of the Canadian population. At that time two of three Canadians were in a church on any Sunday–60 per cent of Protestants and 80 per cent of Roman Catholics. The Council was a particularly Canadian vision. There had been proposals to join with the National Council of Churches in the United States in a North American council, but Canadian churches felt there were reasons for a distinctly Canadian organization.
The Council was born during the Second World War when people worldwide longed to find ways of cooperating. This period saw the drafting of the charter of the United Nations and the founding of the World Council of Churches, in the planning stages from 1938 until its inaugural assembly in 1948. Canadian churches had already been cooperating through bodies related to social service, religious education, evangelism and overseas mission.
At the first meeting of the Council, the general secretary was asked to invite Orthodox Churches to join. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church had accepted by the time of the second meeting in 1945. By 1977 the Council embraced 12 member churches, three of them Orthodox. The 25 member denominations today represent Anglican, Evangelical, Free Church, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic traditions. Staff is drawn from all traditions. In the ecumenical spirit, unity does not mean uniformity. It means learning from one another.
On November 11, 1942 an informal meeting of officers of the Canadian churches met in the office of The Rev. Dr. W. J. Gallagher, 3 Willcocks St., Toronto, to consider some aspects of the cooperative work of the Canadian churches and their relation to a North American Council of Churches, which was being proposed. They agreed it was time to organize The Canadian Council of Churches and put their request to the executive of the World Council of Churches Canadian Committee. Five members of that group, five more of the Christian Social Council of Canada and five more from the Religious Education Council plus five representatives of the missionary interests of the Canadian Churches were invited to meet to organize The Canadian Council of Churches.
A service of Ecumenical Worship took place at Yorkminster Baptist Church (now called: Yorkminster Park Baptist Church), located at 1585 Yonge St., Toronto (2 blocks north of St. Clair Ave.) – September 26, 1944 at 8:00 p.m., followed by three days of meetings. The first president of The Canadian Council of Churches was The Most Rev. Derwyn T. Owen, Archbishop of Toronto and Primate of All Canada, The Church of England in Canada.
The Council was asked to consider the treatment accorded to Japanese Canadians and decided to send “the strongest deputation possible” to the Prime Minister to argue against the government’s move to induce Canadian citizens of “Japanese race” to return or emigrate to Japan. Some other issues of the day: chaplaincy to prisoners of war, a $10,000 grant for the restoration of the Canadian Vimy Memorial Church, venereal disease, marriage laws and a mobilization of the world resources of the church for righteous peace.
In the 1950s and into the 1960s, the Council was organized with full departments of ecumenical affairs, evangelism, social relations, overseas mission and Christian education as well as many committees.
In 1957 the Council through its Faith and Order Commission participated in a conference in Ohio on The Nature of Unity We Seek. The meeting was organized by the U.S. Conference of the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches in the United States and The Canadian Council of Churches. Several study groups met beforehand in Vancouver, Saskatoon and Toronto. 42 Canadians attended, including youth and consultants.
The Council’s Department of Christian education published a booklet titled “one Lord” summing up the doctrines and history of the 10 member churches.
The Department of Social Relations endorsed the appeal of the Chinese Canadian Association to remove the second-class citizenship status affecting Canadian citizens of Asian ancestry. The department also worked on issues such as the rise in gambling, low-cost and low-rental housing, the simplification of funerals, penal reform and mental hospital chaplaincy.
By 1958 General Secretary W. J. Gallagher was able to report “phenomenal” growth and development in the Council’s first 14 years. In the preceding two years alone, some 30 inter-church conferences and training sessions had taken place.
The Council was at work on projects for the Canadian Centenary. The general secretary joined a committee to plan the Christian Pavilion at Expo 67.
Criticisms arose, from The United Church of Canada among others, suggesting the Council was not only too compartmentalized but was duplicating the work of the churches. By the mid-60s, the Council was busy examining its purpose, reorganizing itself and writing a new Constitution.
Within a few years, instead of coordinating or reflecting the departmental activities of the churches, the Council started to consider its work the nature and nurture of ecumenical encounter and action.
Meantime, a dramatic increase arose in ecumenical activity elsewhere, leading to the formation of ecumenical social justice coalitions. The Council worked with such coalitions as Project North, to help address the challenges of native land claims and Northern development, and with the Movement for Christian Feminism. In 1974 The Canadian Council of Churches with the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops co-founded the Church Council on Justice and Corrections.
In 1977 a task force called together 50 persons representing Christians across Canada to consider how to do theology ecumenically in Canada. They decided that the Faith and Order Commission should facilitate and coordinate the discussion of theology and plan a biennial or annual conference.
In the 1970s, the Council reduced its commissions from four to three (World Concerns, Canadian Affairs and Faith and Order).
The Commission on Canadian Affairs was to identify issues requiring ecumenical leadership and to work directly on those issues with member churches, related organizations and secular groups. Among the issues: social services, French-English relations, continued abolition of the death penalty, civil liberties and labor.
In one small piece of its work, the Commission on World Concerns distributed material responding to widespread critical response to the World Council of Churches’ grants to liberation movements in Africa.
By the beginning of the ’80s, the notion of “mission” had changed. Promotion of intercultural respect, interfaith dialogue and international justice were seen as vital expressions of mission. World mission was no longer seen as carrying the Gospel from one place that knows it to another which does not.
Instead, world mission was seen as the world church in its diversity, with global ecumenical partnership.
In 1985 the Council lobbied governments on the issues of acid rain, peace and disarmament and the Canadian Security Intelligence Act and participated in African relief programs.
At the 1989 meeting the name of the Commission on Faith and Order was changed to the Commission on Faith and Witness, broadening its mandate to include mission and interfaith relations.
In 1991 The Canadian Council of Churches adopted a new constitution, which gave it a governing board, and formalized a new structure of three commissions: Faith and Witness, Justice and Peace and Ecumenical Education and Communication.
By the time of the 2001 census, only 20 per cent of the Canadian population attended worship services on a weekly basis, compared to the two out of three back in 1944. The Council’s member churches, however, represented 85 per cent of Christian Canadians who professed adherence to a church, compared with the 45 per cent of Canadians its members represented in 1944.
The Canadian Council of Churches today is the broadest and most inclusive ecumenical body in the world, representing 25 denominations of Anglican; Evangelical; Free Church; Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox; Protestant; and Catholic traditions. Together we represent more than 85% of the Christians in Canada.
Member churches believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour, according to the Scriptures. Members seek to fulfill together their common calling to the glory of one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In a forum where all voices hold equal weight, the Council brings member churches into encounter with one another, promoting understanding among them and with other Christian churches. It also provides a safe place for immigrant churches to learn about Canada and to put down roots.
The Council undertakes and promotes theological study and reflection among Christian traditions. As well, the Council studies, speaks about and acts on conditions involving moral and spiritual principles including the war on terror and societal issues such as the future of health care. The Council communicates results of reflections to Canadian society and governments. | 2019-04-21T11:02:51 | https://www.councilofchurches.ca/about-us/history/founding/ |

At the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business Roundtable: Executive Compensation: Practices and Reforms, Washington, D.C.
It is a pleasure to be here this afternoon to give the closing address at this very timely conference on executive compensation. Executive compensation has for some time been an important part of academic and policy discussions of corporate law and governance. The public's attention to the subject has periodically increased. Such heightened interest is not often part of corporate governance debates, but rather in response to high compensation levels for certain executives, or the contrast between rising executive compensation and sluggish overall wage growth. I think it fair to say, however, that public scrutiny has never been more intense than in the past year. And never has it been more concentrated on a particular industry than in the current focus on large financial services firms.
Previous speakers have touched on some of the reasons why compensation arrangements of corporate employees can be a public policy matter. As I have already suggested, the compensation packages of employees--particularly senior executives--implicate the principal-agent concerns that inform much of corporate law. Shareholders have interests both in providing employees with incentives to maximize shareholder value and in restraining employees from using their direct control over the firm's resources to take more than is necessary to attract and motivate quality employees. Additionally, as evidenced by the very fact of Ken Feinberg’s job as special master, the public has an interest in appropriate compensation arrangements at firms in which the government has made significant investments.
Broader issues of fairness may also be raised by high compensation levels for some employees. Of course, these issues can quickly involve rather fundamental considerations of political philosophy and political economy. At present, the public debate over the fairness of compensation levels in financial firms has a more specific focus. Many would argue that the bonuses that may be collected this year by employees of some financial firms and, for that matter, the profits accruing to the firms themselves, are possible only because the government rescued the entire financial system through a series of actions beginning last year. Seen in this light, the bonuses and profits appear to some observers as an unfair channeling of gains to private actors, after potentially devastating losses to those same firms and employees were avoided by placing taxpayer funds at risk.
Each of the foregoing perspectives on compensation raises important policy issues. But the regulatory framework established by statute makes them relevant to the supervisory functions of the Federal Reserve only to the extent they affect the safety and soundness of financial institutions. An evaluation of some compensation practices at banking organizations preceding the financial crisis reveals that they did, in fact, contribute to safety and soundness problems. Indeed, financial firms have themselves identified compensation practices as a factor. In this regard, I was struck by the results of a survey conducted earlier this year on behalf of the Institute of International Finance.2 Of the 37 large banking organizations engaged in wholesale banking activities that responded, 36 agreed that compensation practices were a factor underlying the crisis.
Of particular note are incentive compensation arrangements for employees in a position to expose the firm to substantial risk that failed to align the employees' interests with those of the firm. For example, some firms gave loan officers incentives to write a lot of loans, or traders incentives to generate high levels of trading revenues, without sufficient regard for the risks associated with those activities. The revenues that served as the basis for calculating bonuses were generated immediately, while the risks might not have been realized for months or years after the transactions were completed. When these or similarly misaligned incentive compensation arrangements were common in a firm, the very foundation of sound risk management could be undermined by the actions of employees seeking to maximize their own pay.
There is thus significant overlap between the interests of shareholders and of supervisors in the area of employee compensation. That is why, as I will explain in a moment, we include an emphasis on sound corporate governance measures in our proposed guidance. Indeed, supervisory initiatives can reinforce the impetus for change already coming from shareholders and other market participants. By requiring banking organizations to incorporate a thorough, risk-appropriate approach to incentive compensation arrangements, supervisors can help address concerns that these firms face a kind of collective action problem, which may make a firm reluctant to rectify misaligned arrangements for fear that other firms will poach the best employees with promises of substantial near-term bonuses. This concern exists at the international, as well as national, level, which is one of the reasons why the Financial Stability Board has devoted so much attention to the issue in the past year.
However, it is important to note that the interests of shareholders and supervisors, representing the public, are not wholly congruent. Because of the federal safety net--as manifested in the deposit insurance system, the availability of discount window lending, and too-big-to-fail perceptions--shareholders may at times be willing to tolerate a degree of risk in a firm’s activities that does not fully reflect the costs of that risk to society as a whole. Thus, even if banking organizations were able to achieve full harmonization of employee and shareholder interests in their incentive compensation arrangements, supervisory oversight would still be warranted.
The proposed guidance recently issued by the Federal Reserve is informed by the considerations I have just set forth.3 Our rationale for the guidance is grounded in safety and soundness concerns. Our supervisory approach emphasizes the need to integrate compensation policy into the overall risk-management framework of financial firms. This dual focus on safety and soundness aims and risk-management capacities has been a recurring theme of supervisory efforts in the wake of the crisis. Our compensation guidance is just one piece of a broad program of regulatory and supervisory reforms, which include strengthened capital and liquidity requirements and a more coordinated, "horizontal" approach to large-firm supervision.
The Federal Reserve’s guidance is based on three fundamental principles. First, incentive compensation arrangements at a banking organization should not provide employees with incentives to take risks that are beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage. The amounts of incentive pay flowing to employees should reflect the risks and potential losses--as well as gains--associated with their activities. Employees are less likely to take imprudent risks if their incentive payments are reduced or eliminated for activities that end up imposing significant losses on the firm.
The guidance identifies four methods that have been most often identified by firms, consultants, and others as useful in aligning incentive compensation with risk. These include adjusting performance awards to reflect the risks of employee activities, deferring payments of awards and adjusting actual payments to reflect risk outcomes, using longer periods for measuring the performance on which awards are based, and reducing the sensitivity of performance measures to short-term revenues or profits. Our expectation is that each banking organization will use these and possibly other methods, either individually or in combination, to achieve risk-appropriate incentive compensation practices throughout the firm.
To be fully effective, risk adjustments to compensation should take account of the full range of risks that the activities of employees may pose for the firm, including credit, market, compliance, reputational, and liquidity risks. Moreover, these adjustments need to be implemented in practice so that actual payments vary based on risks or risk outcomes. If employees are paid substantially all of their potential incentive compensation when risk or risk outcomes are materially worse than expected, employees may have an incentive to take large risks in hopes of substantially increasing their personal compensation, knowing that their downside risks are limited. Simply put, incentive compensation arrangements should not create "heads I win, tails the firm loses" expectations.
The second core principle is that incentive compensation arrangements should be compatible with effective risk management and controls. Banking organizations should ensure that risk-management personnel have an appropriate role in designing incentive compensation arrangements and assessing their effectiveness in restraining excessive risk-taking. Risk-management breakdowns often occurred in firms not because risk-management officers were unaware of problems, but because they were not adequately integrated into the firm’s strategic and operational decisionmaking processes related to compensation. In addition, a banking organization should have strong controls governing its process for designing, implementing, and monitoring incentive compensation arrangements to help prevent employees from circumventing or weakening these processes in ways designed to increase their personal compensation.
The third core principle is that incentive compensation arrangements at banking organizations should be supported by strong corporate governance practice, including active and effective oversight by boards of directors. This oversight should go beyond reviewing and approving the compensation arrangements for senior executives. Boards of directors, or their compensation committees, should regularly review the design and functioning of the firm’s incentive compensation practices to ensure their consistency with safety and soundness.
In developing these principles, we were guided by two key considerations. The first, as I noted earlier, is that problematic compensation practices were not limited to the most senior executives at financial firms. Traders with large position limits and loan officers who, as a group, originate loans accounting for a material amount of an organization’s credit risk, are two examples of non-executive personnel who have the ability to expose a banking organization to material amounts of risk. For this reason, our guidance extends beyond the senior executives at banking organizations to include all other employees who, individually or as a group, may expose the firm to material amounts of risk.
Second, in drafting this guidance we opted for principles, rather than generally applicable rules. The complex and varying nature of financial activities, particularly those of large banking organizations, suggested that uniform requirements for compensation arrangements were not well-advised, at least not on the basis of our present knowledge and experience. Activities and risks, as well as the reliability of related risk measures, may differ significantly across banking organizations and across employee groups within one banking organization. In these circumstances, we concluded that use of a single, formulaic approach to making incentive compensation arrangements risk-sensitive would likely not be effective in adequately containing risky behavior.
As discussed in the guidance, incentive compensation arrangements for senior executives at a large, complex organization are likely to be better balanced if they involve deferral of a substantial portion of the executives’ incentive compensation over a multiyear period, with payment made in some form of equity that is ultimately calculated with reference to the performance of the firm during the deferral period. However, the use of equity-based incentive compensation may not be effective in aligning the incentives of mid- and lower-level employees with the interests of the firm, because these employees may view the outcomes of their decisions as unlikely to have much effect on the firm or its stock price. Moreover, deferral may not be effective in constraining the incentives of employees who have the ability to expose the firm to long-term or "bad tail" risks, as these risks are unlikely to be realized during a reasonable deferral period. Consider, for example, how different the incentive compensation packages might need to be for a trader who deals in only one kind of highly structured, long-term instrument, as compared to the arrangements for the firm’s chief executive officers.
In issuing the proposed guidance, the Federal Reserve also announced two separate supervisory initiatives to ensure that the principles are incorporated by banking organizations in their compensation arrangements. These initiatives are also intended to help identify and promote emerging best practices in the industry. Like the principles themselves, the separate supervisory programs recognize the differences among the many banking organizations we supervise.
The first initiative applies to the institutions we classify for general supervisory purposes as large, complex banking organizations (LCBOs). LCBOs warrant special supervisory attention because they are significant users of incentive compensation arrangements and because flawed practices at these institutions are more likely to have adverse effects on the broader financial system. The challenge with respect to these institutions was that while we did not want to impose inflexible, and possibly ineffective, practices across the wide range of compensation arrangements, we also did not want there to be insufficient attention paid to the very particulars that led us to adopt this approach in the first place. Accordingly, we decided to place the burden on each of these LCBOs to develop a plan that would, with appropriate specificity, implement the principles we have identified into the firm’s compensation policies and practices. A rigorous process of planning and implementation, with accompanying supervisory oversight, makes it possible for these firms to customize their compensation arrangements.
Our supervisory approach to compensation practices at LCBOs will include an extensive horizontal review process, in keeping with our increased emphasis on this approach for the supervision of the largest institutions. This horizontal review, which we expect to commence shortly, will be led by a multidisciplinary coordinating group of Federal Reserve staff. We anticipate that it will include staff from the Board, from Reserve Banks that supervise LCBOs, and from other financial regulators. This group also will serve as a resource for supervisory staff across the Federal Reserve System on incentive compensation matters.
This review process will enhance our understanding of existing incentive compensation practices, identify existing or emerging best practices across the organizations, and provide an informed framework for evaluating firms’ plans for improving their practices. In this regard, each LCBO will be expected to develop and present to the Federal Reserve a plan that identifies where improvements to the organization’s compensation arrangements and related practices are needed to bring them in line with the principles embodied in the guidance. These submissions must include the firm’s plans, including relevant timetables, for achieving meaningful and effective improvements to the risk-sensitivity of its incentive compensation arrangements and the firm’s related risk management, controls, and corporate governance processes. We expect to work with each organization through the supervisory process in refining its plan. Once finalized, implementation of the plan will become part of the supervisory expectations for the banking organization. As with other supervisory expectations, failure to submit or implement a satisfactory plan could be the basis for enforcement action.
We issued the compensation guidance in proposed form and will be accepting comments on the guidance through November 27. While we may well make changes in some aspects of the guidance based on comments we receive, it is critical that the incentives created by compensation arrangements be reviewed and adjusted to ensure the safe and sound operation of financial firms. Indeed, in light of the experience of recent years, the safety and soundness implications of incentive compensation arrangements would be an appropriate matter for supervisory oversight even in the absence of any specific guidance. For these reasons, we are not waiting to begin the process of gathering information about compensation practices from LCBOs. Today, in discussions across the country, we are communicating our plans and expectations to these firms, with particular attention to beginning this information gathering.
A separate program will apply to the thousands of other organizations supervised by the Federal Reserve, including community and regional banking organizations. Supervisory staff will review incentive compensation arrangements at these organizations as part of the regular risk-focused examination process, in connection with reviews of the organizations’ risk management, internal controls, and corporate governance. These reviews, as well as our supervisory expectations for these organizations, will be tailored to reflect the more limited scope and complexity of these organizations’ activities--a fact also recognized in various aspects of our guidance. For example, we certainly do not expect smaller banking organizations that use incentive compensation arrangements on a limited basis to have the same type of formalized and detailed program for managing the risks of such arrangements as we expect to see at LCBOs. We will also have an ongoing coordination process for developing and clarifying guidance for the non-LCBO institutions.
We expect that our supervisory practice in this area will evolve. We will have to build on the principles we have set forth and we may, over time, identify standards that should be universally applied to certain classes of employees. We will surely face questions from firms that we have not anticipated. But even as we can expect a rapid accretion of knowledge and significant elaboration of desirable policies and practices, the constant in our compensation oversight will be the emphasis on safety and soundness and supporting risk-management practices, which have been the foundation for our supervisory approach. | 2019-04-25T16:10:17 | https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/tarullo20091102a.htm |
Vinnie Jones has urged Wimbledon’s class of 2019 to draw inspiration from his team of legends that guided the Dons to FA Cup glory against Liverpool at Wembley 31 years ago.
Jones was part of the Wimbledon team that secured a famous victory in the 1988 FA Cup final against Kenny Dalglish’s First Division champions, instantly carving themselves a place in the competition’s folklore.
After the original Wimbledon became the MK Dons in a contentious move 16 years after that great day at Wembley, AFC Wimbledon have revived the true ‘Crazy Gang’ spirit as they have fought their way into the Football League – and they now have a huge platform to perform on when they take on Premier League side West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
While Jones admits the mountain facing his former team-mate and current Wimbledon manager Wally Downes may be too steep to conquer this weekend, he hopes the memories of 1988 will inspire the club’s current players.
“Our win in 1988 shows what the FA Cup can do for a player,” Jones told Planet Football.
“Now, more than 30 years later, we are still talking about it with pride and that is what this competition can do, so the players who will represent Wimbledon have to remember what we did and try and draw something from that.
“This is a tough match for them. They started off flying under Wally Downes, but it has all come to a bit of a grinding halt and that can happen for a new manager. What we know from many years of experience is the FA Cup is a very different story.
“If West Ham turn up and play as we know they can, there will only be one winner, but Wimbledon have to find a way to stop them and hope will become one of those special days.
“If they can get under West Ham’s skin, let them know they are away from home and on Wimbledon’s patch, there might be a bit of an upset, but this is a massive task, no doubt about that.
“These are great teams with a great history in this competition and that’s why people are getting excited about this tie.
As Jones reflects on his golden FA Cup moment in 1988, he admits his team feared they could go down in history for all the wrong reasons.
“In this competition, you always have to believe,” adds Jones, who will be part of BT Sport’s coverage of AFC Wimbledon v West Ham on Saturday.
“If I take myself back to 1988 when we took on an incredible Liverpool, our main mission on the day was not to get embarrassed and humiliated.
“There was a chance that we could have been on the end of the biggest hammering in FA Cup final history and we would be having a very different conversation then.
“You might be asking me how it felt to lose 11-0 in the FA Cup final in front of 11 billion people worldwide and maybe we would never have shown our faces again.
Can you name every FA Cup-winning captain since 1990? | 2019-04-23T22:40:48 | https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/vinnie-jones-wimbledon-have-to-get-under-west-hams-skin-to-stand-chance/ |

Advocacy The award-winning journalist and mother of four partnered up with the Hearing Health Foundation to share the surprising origin of her son’s mysterious behavioral problems.
HEARING RELIEF: For O’Brien, Jackson’s hearing loss diagnosis eased a burden, as it gave her insight into her son's frustrations and improved her and Jackson's communication.
When Jackson turned 7 and failed his hearing test, prompting a more extensive examination, he was diagnosed with bilateral, severe, sensorineural hearing loss with about 85 percent of his hearing gone. The news, O’Brien says, actually offered some relief because it all finally made sense. “I began to wonder whether his frustrations were all hearing-related,” she shares.
Once Jackson got hearing aids in first grade, his life changed. “I remember the day they fitted him. From across the room I asked, ‘Can you hear me?’ He looked up and — big smile,” O’Brien recalls. Today, the outgoing, social, happy sixth grader attends the same mainstream school as his siblings and is excelling academically. “He loves school,” says O’Brien. “He’s even taking Mandarin (a tonal language).” He’s also getting better at asking for help.
O’Brien credits Jackson’s team for walking her through all the necessary steps her son needed to take, from his hearing education service provider and his speech-language pathologist to all the doctors and audiologists. “I know we are very lucky to have these resources. That’s a huge advantage,” O’Brien admits.
His support system at home, though, is the key to his happiness. Along with his parents, Jackson’s siblings have always been patient and understanding. His fraternal twin, Charlie, whose hearing is typical, enjoys watching subtitled movies with his brother. His older sister, Sofia, 15, knows how to comfort Jackson when he’s frustrated. | 2019-04-25T00:24:20 | http://www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/advocacy/why-a-hearing-loss-diagnosis-was-a-relief-for-soledad-obrien |

It was summertime and I was eleven. My mom lopped a porcelain bowl over my head and with the other hand, she quietly trimmed around the circumference of my skull until the sides of my hair looked roughly flush—a mushroom cloud billowing out of the top of my cranium. It never registered as out of the ordinary—some of the girls in my class were just hitting puberty and I had too many other things on my mind aside from whether or not my sideburns were even. Still, my mom insisted that I should have my hair cut professionally before I got to middle school. And so it was decided—we went to the now defunct Supercuts on West 8th Street in Manhattan and by the time the nail-biting, 20-minute ordeal was over, I was in tears.
To this day, I still can't pinpoint exactly what tipped me off, but the loss of my bangs cannot be overstated. What I saw that afternoon when I stared bleakly into my mom's cosmetics mirror on the 2nd floor of a K-Mart, was a side part, hair that fluffed up at the top, and was buzzed flat and prickly all the way up the back. In short, it was a hairstyle not too dissimilar from the way I have kept my hair in the twelve years since, and my mom has never once had to cut my hair again. My hair has been a defining part of my identity ever since, so I suppose if I ever track down that hairdresser, not only should I give him the tip I had walked out on, but I should also extend my hand and thank him as well.
But it wasn't just my first professional haircut that left me wanting. I daresay that in my whole life, I've never once had a haircut I was completely satisfied with in America. Usually, this would necessitate finding a new hairstylist, but it's been that way with a myriad of barbershops in all corners of the city. The general arc of a haircut for me goes something like this: reel from the misery of my first two weeks with a haircut that is too short, lavish the four weeks when my hair has grown out to the point where it looks presentable, and endure the next two weeks until I can finally bring myself to go back to the barber again with hair that is too long and unruly.
I have come to terms with this fact, accepting simply that my hair will look bad for a quarter of my life, but that it will inevitably go back to looking decently again for another half of it. This has afforded me the opportunity to take a lot of risks that others might be afraid would make or break their image. At Oberlin, I never paid for a haircut, and instead, depended on friends to cut my hair for little or no money, giving would-be barbers free reign to try almost anything. Most had at least had access to a hair trimmer, which was really the only criteria. As a result, I've ended up with lopsided fauxhawks, short-trim buzz-cuts, and straight-hair Afros, all in the name of fashion and frugality.
The impeccably-decorated interior of the "Gold Cut Modeling" hair salon located in the back of the campus bath-house.
My hair is a big part of my identity here in China too. It is black, which automatically sets off alarm bells in people's minds, prompting questions of whether or not it is my natural color, and then, if it is, how it is possible that such a thing could be. Additionally, one of the things my students always joke about is when I walk in to class at 8am on a Monday morning, my hair in kinks and cowlicks, and proceed to teach a lesson as usual. In China, hair styles change about as quickly as the weather—after a long winter vacation, it always shocks me to find about half of my class with their hair newly layered or permed, sprouting brown curls or blond highlights.
So, when it was inevitably time for my first haircut in China, I was understandably a bit nervous. If my haircuts always ended up so badly in America in spite of being able to speak the language, how could they possibly look good here? My first haircut came immediately following the shut-down of campus due to H1N1. As a result, the countless barbershops and hair salons that lined North Yard were temporarily closed down, so I relegated myself to the only place left. It was a small, brightly-lit salon located in the back of the campus-run bath house. In a country where any given establishment is either run down and dilapidated or incredibly gaudy, it took the latter role.
It has the kind of atmosphere you might expect. A row of neat leather-pleated barber stools line the front of the store opposite a long full-length mirror. Like most other barbershops, there is a speaker in the back blasting pop music as a way to drum up business and the walls are plastered with pin-ups of fawning young women sporting new hairdos. In the back sits a high chair with a stone basin for a headrest—here, it is standard practice for patrons to first have their hair shampooed and washed before getting cut. On my very first visit, I was accompanied by Anne who offered to help translate for me in case any difficulties arose. It felt like my mom at my first haircut, telling the hairdresser careful instructions that he would later go on to ignore.
I got a chance to meet the owner of the hair salon who, like most of the other employees, was simultaneously nervous and overjoyed at the prospect of cutting a foreigner's hair. When asked about the poster, he said he had personally cut the hair of each of the girls pictured.
In my experience since, I've probably had eight or nine haircuts at a handful of different barbershops on campus. Whereas before I was nervous about getting my hair cut, now I actually look forward to the slightly goofy conversations, always fixated on some detail of my life in America, and how much more I can understand each time I go. I always tell them the same thing about how to cut my hair: about the same shape as it is now, a little shorter on the sides, and you can use the electric cutting machine on the back. They wash and dry my hair twice, plus throw in the occasional shave, all for eight yuan, just over a dollar, and about twenty times cheaper than any haircut in the states. And miraculously, the haircuts I've gotten here have been among the best I've ever had.
I think it has a lot to do with them knowing intuitively how to cut “Asian hair.” Whereas Nick and James have occasionally gotten the short end of the stick and other foreigners opt not to get haircuts at all, I revel in the new-found realization that my hair doesn't have to look bad for a quarter of my life. It can look good mere minutes after walking out of the hair salon. On my last visit, I had just gotten out of a conversation about job opportunities in America after college, and was walking up to pay my tab. The owner looked at me and then looked at his watch. This is too much, he smiled, motioning me to take back some change. The mid-day price is only five.
This post too is of the “double feature” variety, totaling about 1200 words. | 2019-04-23T03:54:27 | https://www.travelbreedscontent.com/blog/2011/05/day-24-bowl-cuts-wont-be-coming-back.html |

With his debut solo EP, “Lo & Behold,” ready for a proper album-release show in a few weeks at Pianos on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, J. Alan Schneider today premieres a Proving Ground Session video for “Arkansas,” a quietly intense track that is emblematic of the music you’ll find on the 5-song release.
Understanding Schneider’s background helps give context to “Lo & Behold.” He grew up in New Hampshire, took piano lessons from his neighbor and immersed himself in both clarinet (his private teacher was the second-chair clarinet player in the New Hampshire Philharmonic, and his band director was the first chair) as well as bass guitar in a pop punk band. He studied music technology at Northeastern University in Boston, a major that included both composition and production curricula.
Highway 81 Revisited’s newest On The Rise artist, Schneider, who moved to New York for his day job as a copywriter, recently discussed the process of making the EP over drinks at The Bonnie near his place in Astoria, Queens.
“My apartment is right there,” he said, gesturing out to the Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard above-ground stop on the N and Q subway line. “You can’t really record in my apartment because every three minutes you have to wait for the train to go by. So I went down to my girlfriend’s apartment down on 30th, she is about maybe six blocks from the train, so you can’t hear it from her apartment.
Schneider, who played his first solo NYC show in August at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3, also on the Lower East Side, recalled his youthful musical exploits that have set him on his current path.
The acoustic guitar, now his primary instrument as a folk artist, was initially a tool for songwriting in the punk band. Later, during and after his Northeastern years, he’d play in Boston-based pop punk outfit Jet Black Sunrise. Now, his listening, while diverse, veers more toward artists like Bon Iver, Anais Mitchell, Milk Carton Kids, the Nickel Creek/Punch Brothers projects, The Staves and Nathaniel Rateliff.
The Pianos set is part of a 5-date run, the rest of it through New England: one show each in Boston, Burlington, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
J. Alan Schneider will perform at Pianos (158 Ludlow St, New York, NY 10002) Saturday, Oct. 8. His set is at 7 p.m. 21 and over.

How 50-100 completed freelance projects influence your freelancing career?
When you, as a freelancer, take and complete more and more projects, your profile begins to stand out. Not only it shows the true potential you possess but also let an employer place their trust in you. However, it’s not the time for to relax thinking that your freelancing career has already taken a giant leap. This is the most crucial time, and if handled with extreme care it would help you in shaping truly a great career. On the other hand, if you fail to understand the of the situation, you may not be able to fully exploit the chance that you’ve earned for yourself. While you could hope for a great shining profession in the former case, latter case would bring you to a plateau phase, earning a constant amount but not as much as you could have.
In this article we’re going to talk about how to exploit this situation to your advantage.
Now that you’ve worked on enough projects you’d have many contacts of the clients that you’ve worked with. It is a useful habit to always keep in touch with the clients you’ve worked with in past. You should send out newsletters to them at appropriate times, informing them about any newer developments, and what you can offer them. However take extreme care not to overdo this and irritate them with too much of emails. You may even make occasional calls and ask them if you can help them in any way. This would guarantee that whenever they’re in need of a freelancer they’d certainly consider your name increasing your chances to score the project. Also, they may refer your name to their acquaintances.
I do not need to remind you how crucial it is to have a number of great reviews and testimonials in boosting your profile and proving a free but great marketing tool. A new client would certainly lay his/her trust more in a professional with enough good reviews than those without them. Thus, you should remember to request your client to write a review for you as soon as you finish the job for them.
As the number of reviews and testimonials grow along with the number of finished jobs you’d find it easier to grab more jobs.
As I’ve already told you the importance of having a website or blog, I’m going to repeat it again. A website would not only serve as a cheap advertising tool, but also help you showcase your previous work, testimonials and services you have to offer. Clients can directly hire you from your website, saving a little on the fees that you have to pay on the freelancing websites.
If you’ve taken care of all these simple things, apart from having those hundreds of finished projects in your profile, you will notice that you are at an advantageous position than you were at the beginning. Here are some of the rewards that you can expect.
Repeated clients: You’ll not have to aggressively hunt for jobs now, than you did before. Majority of the business would come to you from those you’ve worked in the past. Even if you’re not putting much efforts on advertising yourself or something is not going right you’d still have those clients to depend upon.
Recommendations: Word of mouth has always been the best tool for promotion. Your clients would do that for you, and you’d watch your business grow as every client brings even more clients to you.
Edge over other freelancers: If you’ve a superior profile with more number of finished projects and positive feedbacks you’d be in a better position to land up more jobs than them.
Boost in trust factor and better reputation: More feedbacks and better profile builds you a great reputation and clients would be able to trust you more in giving a job, even more difficult jobs.
Motivation: Of course, when you’ve a good profile full of a number of finished projects and feedbacks, and more work is coming you’d feel good. Use this good-feel factor as a motivation to do even better in future.

Kit homes are a great idea for those bursting with creativity because you can help design it from the ground up. I wanted to take things to the next level by making my new home as environmentally-friendly as possible. This meant doing lots of research to find the best tricks in the business to achieve my goals. Lots of people are interested in helping the planet these days, so you might feel the same way as me. If you are, take a look at the most important things I discovered.
I knew I wasn't going to contribute to deforestation by choosing a kit home with a wooden frame. I found that steel is the one of the best options available. It's likely going to be recycled steel, plus it will be recycled again once the home comes down. It's also going to stay standing and remain in good condition longer, which means less energy will be required on repair work.
My energy bills used to be a lot, so I decided I would need to find insulation that worked extremely well while still being environmentally-friendly. In the end I think sheep wool is the ultimate choice, because sheep need to be sheared anyway and their wool will always grow back. Don't neglect good insulation, because a home without it can lose a third of its heat through the walls and a quarter through the roof.
you're building a new home you can choose to use low-E glass instead. This will save you a huge amount as you'll not waste as much energy. The glass will keep the heat inside your home during the cold winter months, but in summer it flips everything on its head by keeping your rooms cool.
Water shortages can happen in lots of different areas, but there is no denying it's a big problem we all face. It's silly wasting precious water when there are eco-friendly solutions. I decided I wanted my kit home to include a rainwater tank that would collect half of the water hitting my roof. With a few basic components it's easy to set up, so the company building your home should be able to take care of it.
Can you guess how many toxic chemicals are in your average tin of household paint? I couldn't believe the number was as high as 300, but it was worse realising I've been using paint for decades that vaporised in the air causing damage to the environment. Volatile organic compounds shouldn't really be anywhere near your green home, so use low VOC paint when you're decorating your kit home instead.
There are tons of gorgeous kit homes on the market today, which means it's very hard to choose the exact one you want. It would still be great if you decided to go green no matter how you decide to build your home, because if we all started doing it the world would become a better place. You're essentially building a home from scratch so there are no excuses.

The sixth blog in this series discusses the importance of frequent communication with your Chinese suppliers and the continuous reevaluation of the value of your China sourcing activities.
When working with Chinese suppliers, it is essential to enforce and enhance transparency in order to maintain fruitful relationships. Transparency requires constant and direct communication between the buyer (or their agent/consultant) and the supplier, and includes the sharing of tremendous amounts of information related to product specifications (and specification changes), product quality expectations, purchase order status, and pricing expectations. Oftentimes, a sophisticated file sharing system that provides both parties with access to information and materials in a timely manner is necessary to facilitate effective communication across cross-functional departments. By maintaining regular contact with the supplier, buyers can expedite the production process and ensure that potential problems are avoided or resolved before they turn into costly, time-consuming issues.
What actions do we need to take internally to improve our China sourcing practices?
What preventative measures should be taken to eliminate or reduce supply chain risks?
Does leveraging China sourcing place us ahead of our competitors in both product quality as well as pricing?
At PBM, we routinely use our 28 years of experience to connect our clients with qualified Chinese suppliers—yet some of our most difficult projects involve helping clients who have found themselves bound to unreliable, incompetent suppliers. Buyers can avoid many potential problems simply by finding the right suppliers and being diligent in managing and communicating with their suppliers. This requires employing a capable team with the necessary experience, language capabilities, familiarity with local business practices, and on-the-ground presence. Under no circumstances should there be a substitute for establishing a professional on-the-ground team in China that is dedicated to supplier relationship management and quality assurance.
With the advantages of sourcing from China becoming increasingly robust, it is only inevitable for medical companies to look towards China sourcing initiatives. If conducted with the proper care and attention to the points discussed in this blog series, sourcing medical devices and equipment in China can prove to be a very rewarding venture for your company.
Our client was working with a trading company in China to source medical wipes from a Chinese supplier (Company A). Our client did not correspond directly with the supplier, and instead let the Chinese trading company handle all supplier communication. At one point, Company A stopped producing the wipes and outsourced the manufacturing to another Chinese company (Company B) without informing our client. Our client was not made aware of this change until over two years later, when they hired PBM to reevaluate their China supply chain processes.
While assessing our client’s Chinese suppliers, PBM’s China team conducted an on-site visit at Company A’s manufacturing facility. During our visit, it became clear that Company A was not producing any medical wipes, since they no longer had the equipment to do so. PBM undertook an extensive investigation that involved reviewing inventory in Company A’s warehouse, where we discovered boxes of medical wipes that indicated Company B’s name on the outside packaging. Thus, we were able to trace the production of the medical wipe products to Company B.
PBM also learned from the investigation that the reason the original supplier began outsourcing the manufacturing of the medical wipes was because the product line was not making money for them. Company A happened to have a close personal relationship with a smaller company, Company B, who found this business to be profitable, so they transferred the manufacturing work to Company B without our client’s approval.
Because our client never corresponded directly with their suppliers, they were completely oblivious to the fact that their wipes were being manufactured by a different company for over two years. PBM recommended our client to dissolve their relationship with the trading company and instead work directly with all their suppliers, thus cutting out the “middleman” fee that the trading company was pocketing and facilitating transparent communication with the suppliers. By establishing a direct relationship with the suppliers, it was much easier for our client to address any quality issues and manage the manufacturing process to make sure that all production requirements are met.
This example illustrates the importance of maintaining regular communication with your suppliers as well as an on-the-ground presence at the manufacturing facilities. Even after finding and signing a contract with a Chinese supplier, you must remain diligent and be aware of your supplier’s activities.

Trinidad-born trumpeter Etienne Charles performs at the Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild on Saturday, bringing ‘Creole Soul,’ which incorporates and synthesizes the sounds of New Orleans and the Caribbean.
Mr. Charles began playing when he received a trumpet from his uncle at age 10.
The first jazz album that caught his attention was pianist Monty Alexander’s 1996 ‘Yard Movement,’ which incorporated a lot of reggae from Mr. Alexander’s native Jamaica. Later he embraced Chuck Mangione and Wynton Marsalis. ‘I was going to what I was being drawn to and began to work it into my sound,’ he says. | 2019-04-22T01:03:45 | http://imnworld.com/news/detail/4523/Etienne-Charles-Creole-Soul |
NEW YORK -- Toyota Motor Corp. plans to double the number of its eco-friendly hybrid models to six by the end of 2003 to cement its lead in the growing field of low-emission vehicles, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun's online edition said on Saturday.
Toyota, Japan's largest automaker, will release in the autumn a hybrid gas-electric version of its 2-litre Crown sedan and will later add hybrid models of the Harrier sport-utility vehicle, along with its recently debuted Alphard minivan, the paper said.
The hybrid version of the Harrier, a popular model known as Lexus RX300 in the United States, will be exported to U.S. dealers, the report said.
A spokesman at Toyota America said nothing has been decided yet.
Unlike pure electric cars, hybrids do not need to be plugged in to be recharged. But they are more expensive than gasoline cars, with the Estima hybrid costing some 500,000 yen ($4,209) more than a gasoline-powered Estima.
Toyota will also market the 2-liter hybrid Crown mainly to government and municipal offices that are increasingly replacing their cars with low-emission vehicles, the paper said.
Without citing sources, the report said Toyota will likely keep the price of the new hybrid Crown only 150,000 yen higher than the gasoline-powered model.
Since the automaker pioneered the way with the world's first hybrid car Prius in 1997, Toyota has sold 30 percent of a total 100,000 hybrid cars in overseas markets, the paper said.
Honda Motor Co. is the only other automaker so far to mass-market hybrid vehicles -- the two-seater Insight and a recently launched hybrid version of the Civic compact.
Toyota enjoys a 90 percent share of the global market for eco-friendly vehicles and hopes to triple annual production of hybrid cars to 300,000 units in 2005, the report said. | 2019-04-26T05:52:58 | https://www.autonews.com/article/20010305/REG/103050802/toyota-to-double-hybrid-vehicle-lineup-by-03 |
We are running some experiments to try and differentiate between page views and actual visits from Alpha Inventions - notwithstanding the fact that what makes people “click” on your page is whether it is interesting enough for them to want to read what it has to say. That is the final measurement of the value of your own site.
But, certainly getting Alpha Inventions viewers to see your page on their screen and to have the opportunity to make the choice of “visiting” you or not has got be to your advantage. As I say, this is an experiment in progress and we will be reporting our outcomes very soon.
Now you are here have a look at the Maverick Spirit Newsletter and let me know what you think.

Happy Monday - never thought I would see WiseCracker + SPAM in the same image. Gotta love SSUK and Charlie The-Bikemonger Hobbs!
Hand-delivered a brand new bike to Ming today at lunch - great way to start to the week! It's an urban single-speed with track spacing in the rear and clean buildup by Ryan Bontrager. Special thanks to Jason Grove for the fabrication effort as usual.
My newest bottle opener, the WiseCracker CX is in the works.
Cheaper than ENVE's $550 Speedvagen stem, this simple headset spacer weighs 25 grams, costs $25 AND it opens beers. By lengthening the original WiseCracker design and adding an M5 Barrel Adjuster, front canti-brake routing should be clean and tight. I may adjust the geometry for smaller frame sizes where stack height is more critical.
I need product testers - hit me up to get on the list!
Ahrens Cycles, which offered up the WiseCracker bottle opener in the form of a headset spacer, is now making it available in a sub-10 gram weight 6/4 titanium version.
They’re machined from a solid sheet of Ti, bead blasted, then etched with their logo... As Mike Ahrens says, they’re lighter than some alloy spacers that don’t have any special skills.
After machining, each part is bead-blasted, laser marked and ready to be shipped!
Wisecracker is a clever little bottle opener. It comes in versions to mount to your seatpost, workstand or downhill fork stanchion. Why?
I woke up today and realized the holiday season is rapidly approaching. To get into that special holiday spirit, I'm offering limited edition WiseCracker bottle openers with a special message. Drop me an email to pre-order one because they will go fast. Cheers! | 2019-04-23T22:54:54 | https://wisecrackerltd.com/blogs/news?page=3 |

If you really, really look, you will find some positives chronic pain. It takes a while, but you will get there.
Of course, chronic pain isn’t a good thing – it causes our bodies and minds to struggle on a daily basis; it causes anger, frustration, and at times hopelessness and isolation; it causes us to change over time and become different people to who we were before the pain began.
When we change our mindset, accept that we have our chronic pain, and think about our pain differently, we can start to see things in a more optimistic way and pick out the positives, and even benefits, that chronic pain can have on our lives.
This post is dedicated to one of my bestest friends – we would never have met had it not been for our chronic pain.
Having chronic pain is a journey and it can take a long time to accept our chronic pain and get to the point of seeing the positives. Anyone can change their mindset if they really want to.
I talk about this in my gratitude posts. Being grateful for the smallest things can really change our mindset, our outlook on life, and improve our overall wellbeing. People with chronic pain often have long journeys to get a diagnosis, or take a while to learn to adapt and cope with their pain. If you start to pick out little things that make you feel happy or that you are grateful for, you soon see that all these little things add up and create more positivity in your life – a lot more than what you realise.
I learned to appreciate the morning sunlight; the way my dogs make me smile; when my partner texts me during her busy work schedule. And much much more. I write down one thing for each day and pop it in my ‘Happy Box’. Sometimes it’s something big (when I climbed the O2) and sometimes it’s something so small (buying myself some new stationery). But all these little things add up and when we make a note of them and look back and reflect, we realise there is so much to be grateful for and happy about despite having chronic pain.
New chapters in life allow us to meet new people. A new job, moving to a new town, or joining a local club or doing some volunteering. It’s the same with chronic pain. You get to meet new people at pain management groups or by joining support groups online or face-to-face. The opportunity will always be there, we just need to embrace it and be open to getting to know someone new.
A lot of people turn to crafting, art, or writing to help cope with their pain. Distraction is a good pain relief, and often seen as a mindfulness activity to help prevent dwelling on the past and worrying about the future. These hobbies can form new skills that we would never have had the opportunity to do before having chronic pain.
I’m now also developing my writing skills by working on my blog. I’ve always wanted to be a writer of some sort (one of my life-long goals is to write a book). I’m also learning lots of new skills – website creation, editing and scheduling, image design. All this has come about because I have my chronic pain.
Do you see the positives of your chronic pain?
Head to my home page to see how you can learn more to cope with and understand more about chronic pain.
Great messages here. When I step outside and go for a walk (even a short one) in the trees — I feel better without fail. And yes, I am aware that my mindset has shifted from me to something other. Life becomes beautiful.
Thank you! I love walking. It always makes me feel so much better and energised, even when I’m feeling exhausted.
I loved this post. You know I never really thought about it before, but I realize that when I have a good day I tend to appreciate it more because I know how it compares to my bad days. I try not to take them for granted anymore. | 2019-04-24T05:55:48 | https://notebooksandglasses.com/2018/12/16/finding-the-positives-of-chronic-pain/ |

The 16-year-old Chun Hsin Tseng from Chinese Taipei is sharing the birthday with Roger Federer and he is not that bad on the tennis court either, standing as the world number 1 in juniors and just outside the Top 600 on the ATP rankings list after winning two Futures title, the first for the 2001 generation.
Chun Hsin arrived at Wimbledon as the top seed and the reigning Roland Garros champion (Sebastian Korda had defeated him in the final of the Australian Open), going all the way to lift his second Major crown and become the first player since Gael Monfils in 2004 who has won junior singles crowns at both the Roland Garros and Wimbledon. In the title match, Tseng defeated the home star Jack Draper 6-1 6-7 6-4 in two hours and six minutes after breaking his rival seven times.
In the semi-final, Draper survived four hours and 24 minutes marathon against Nicolas Mejia, prevailing 19-17 in the third set in the longest match in the junior Wimbledon semi-final, and he missed a chance to become the first British champion since 1962.
Tseng served at only 47% but he defended his initial shot nicely, saving six out of nine break points to keep the pressure on Jack who couldn't stand it despite a great effort in sets two and three. Chun Hsin has opened the match with a break after a huge forehand error from Draper and he got another one in game three after forcing an error from the left-hander to open up a 3-0 advantage.
The top seed saved a break point in game four and he wrapped up the set in just 26 minutes after his third break of serve in game seven when Draper missed another easy forehand. In a very important moment, Jack saved two break points at the start of the second set and he earned his first break of the match in game three to open up the gap after a nice hold in game four following three deuces.
Tseng was back on the positive side of the scoreboard with a break in game six thanks to a backhand winner and they both served great in the remaining games to set up a tie break (returners have won just two points in the last six games).
The forehand let Draper down again in the second point but he regained his composure to win the last seven points of the tie break to seal the set and send it into a decider after a forehand down the line winner. Tseng saved three break points in game two, closing it with an ace and he broke Jack in the next game following another wild forehand from the Briton.
Draper was not to be denied, hitting a return winner in game four to level the score at 2-2, only to suffer another break in game five that sent Tseng 3-2 up. Chun Hsin held with a service winner for a 4-2 and he failed to convert a break point in game seven that could push him 5-2 up.

You completely space out and forget to share the most valuable information about yourself with your interviewers.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone if so. Stop beating yourself up! You’re only human, and that means you’re inclined to forget things, especially under pressure. A job interview is a high-stress event for most people, so relying on memory is a disaster waiting to happen.
Don’t let all of your hard work and interview preparation go to waste. There’s a simple tool anyone can use to help prevent these kinds of frustrating memory lapses.
Most people walk into an interview with their resume in hand. This is the tool they usually rely on to jog their memory. But unfortunately, a resume is—by nature—very concise. It doesn’t provide all the details you likely want to share about a particular project or achievement. It’s designed to capture attention, which is useful, but in the interview, you want to expand on those resume highlights by offering more specifics and facts.
All too often, those important points you want to make get lost, due to failing memory or simply because of conversational tangents. Without some additional reference material, it can be easy to get sidetracked. Before you know it, you’re driving home and kicking yourself for leaving out the key information that would certainly seal the deal on your job offer.
To overcome this, try building a detailed accomplishment spreadsheet to take with you in addition to your resume. This will be helpful for keeping you on track during the interview itself, but it also makes a great marketing “leave behind” piece to give your interviewers when the conversation is over.
This document need not be anything too fancy; a simple Microsoft Excel spreadsheet will do.
First, create a list of important projects or achievements you want to discuss.
Then, create columns for the information you want to share, grouped together in a logical fashion.
For example, you may choose to list the technology you used, the number of people you managed, the specific challenges you encountered and what you did to overcome them, the results you achieved, and any other relevant details.
As you’re grasping for answers to the interview questions, you can glance at your list and gain inspiration. Feel free to say something like this, “I actually noted some details of my past accomplishments here…” so they interviewers know what you’re looking at.
Once the interview is wrapping up, offer to leave the spreadsheet for them to review further if they’d like.
It’s that simple! With the help of this tool, you’ll never again be at a loss for details during an important job interview.

Matchday 18 of the 2016/17 Greek SuperLeague features some of the league’s biggest clubs in challenging away fixtures.
Leaders Olympiacos head to Veria on Sunday night facing off against a side looking to steer clear of a relegation battle. Second place Panionios will do well to come away with the three points against an always difficult Asteras Tripolis.
AEK, seemingly rejuvenated in the early days of Manolo Jimenez’s return to the club, travels to test themselves against a Xanthi who have been hugely impressive this season.
Besides Xanthi, Panathinaikos are the only other side in the top 7 that has a home fixture this weekend. Marinos Ouzounidis will expect his team collects nothing but the three points against a struggling Levadiakos.
PAOK and PAS Giannina, both neck and neck in the race for 5th place and the last playoff spot also have away trips to negotiate. PAOK go to Agrinio to play Panetolikos for whom Makis Chavos will make his debut on the bench. PAS Giannina will be up against a tough Atromitos team on Sunday afternoon.
Elsewhere, two matches with some relegation connections occur. Iraklis are running out of time and need a victory against Larisa on Saturday. Kerkyra will look to keep up a recent good spell by grabbing a result in a tough place as they travel to Chania to match up against Platanias.
The AGONAsport Match of the Week has to be Xanthi versus AEK. Xanthi went down to defeat at leaders Olympiacos last weekend, but without a whole host of regular players, some of who will return this weekend. Despite two recent losses to Olympiacos, Xanthi’s season has gone from strength to strength and their current second place position is proof of this team’s strength and consistency. Joint leading scorer in the SuperLeague, Younes Hamza, returns for Xanthi for this crunch clash. There are injury concerns though. Xanthi will be without Manolis Papasterianos, Petros Orfanidis, and Okan Hatziterzoglou, all battling various injuries.
Manolo Jimenez has breathed fresh life into AEK since rejoining the team last week. Though his second spell at the club is in its infancy, the Spaniard is 2-for-2 since coming to the Kitrinomavri. Wins against Asteras in the SuperLeague and Levadiakos in the Greek Cup have not been completely unexpected, but there does appear to a new verve surrounding the team. The club’s newest addition, Argentine striker Sergio Araujo could feature against Xanthi. The on-loan Las Palmas player is expected to make the matchday squad for AEK. Ronald Vargas, a victim of sickness, will miss out on this match.
In Thessaloniki, a massive match for Iraklis against Larisa kicks off weekend play. Having been written off by many as of late as sure relegation candidates, Iraklis came up with a priceless away win against Veria in midweek play (a postponed match from weeks’ ago). The 2-0 victory offered renewed hope for Savvas Pantelidis and his players that they could still survive in the division. With the prospect of Larisa coming to town the belief is growing that a second straight win could be on the cards.
Larisa too have had a difficult campaign. The Vyssini have done just enough it seems to not be one of the bottom two clubs, but their form has been patchy and they have hovered around the drop zone for most of the season.
An intriguing match will take place on Saturday in Tripoli. Asteras welcome Panionios to the Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium in what will be a tough place for the Nea Smyrniotes to pick up the three points. Asteras may have been outplayed en route to a 2-0 away defeat to AEK last week, but overall the post-holiday fixtures have seen the club respond with very strong performances and results. Midtable consolidation has been achieved by Dimitris Elefteropoulos’ team and they face the rest of the season with little pressure.
Panionios meanwhile live with that pressure week by week. However, it’s a good pressure to have for Vladan Milojevic’s team as they are currently second place in the league. And though Panionios go to a difficult ground this weekend, their own away form is encouraging. The club have lost only twice in nine matches on their travels.
After another disappointing draw last week, Panathinaikos will be expected to have little trouble with slumping Levadiakos. Marinos Ouzounidis saw his players manage only a 1-1 draw away to Kerkyra as the team dropped down to 4th in the table. It was another frustrating game for a team that looks to have improved since Ouzounidis took over, but who are still too inconsistent. Ouzounidis won’t be able to count on the injured trio of Rodrigo Moledo, Sebastian Leto, and Niklas Hult for this match.
Panathinaikos will be the heavy favorites in this match regardless. Levadiakos have not won a game in over two months. There was slight improvement last week in the 1-1 home draw with Atromitos that at least broke up a seven-match losing skid. With other sides around them such as Iraklis beginning to win matches, there is a real fear that relegation is now a distinct possibility, something that seemed far-fetched back in November.
Platanias aim to keep up their good form at home when they host Kerkyra on Sunday. The away team are notoriously known as fairly poor travelers. And Kerkyra have not exactly lit it up away from home this season as they have picked up 5 points from a possible 21. The Faiakes are coming off a considerably good result last weekend as they held Panathinaikos 1-1 on the island.
Platanias have earned positive results against the likes of Olympiacos and Panathinaikos at home recently and will believe in their ability to pick up the points against Kerkyra. Last weekend against Larisa, Giorgos Paraschos’ men were frustrated in a 1-1 draw. A win this weekend would certainly be a boost for this side especially with their outside chance of fighting for the playoffs. Platanias warmed up for this fixture with a 1-0 Greek Cup win over PAS Giannina on Thursday, giving supporters of the Crete club hope they can advance to the last 8 of the competition.
Makis Chavos will take in his first match on the Panetolikos with PAOK coming to Agrinio on Sunday. Chavos was appointed last week and saw his side go down to the same PAOK team 4-0 away at Toumba on Thursday sealing their Greek Cup defeat. There does not appear to be any danger of Panetolikos having issues with relegation, but Chavos has been brought in to ensure that club can maintain their midtable placing. Chavos will be hoping his side can rebound quickly against a PAOK team who had their way with his team in the cup. Tasos Tsokanis is a massive doubt for selection into the squad this weekend after picking up a knock this week.
PAOK will be confident on inflicting more pain after defeating Panetolikos already two times in the span of a week. Vladan Ivic will be wary of a potential banana skin type match however and PAOK’s inconsistencies this season mean nothing is a sure thing for this team. There does appear to be a trend of improvement however and after a poor spell which had them as low as 8th, the Thessaloniki club are back in the thick of the playoff hunt.
Though both sides have slipped up as of late, Atromitos and PAS Giannina square off on Sunday in a match with playoff implications. Atromitos have won only once in their last six matches, but even so, Giorgos Korakakis’ team are only four points off the final playoff spot. Another good run down the stretch, like they had through fall and early winter, could yet see the Peristeri side become involved in the playoff race.
PAS Giannina are coming off two defeats in the span of a week. Giannis Petrakis saw his side downed by PAOK on Monday and then suffer an away defeat in the Greek Cup at the hands of Platanias. The recent dip in form has taken the gloss off a previously good season for the Giannina side. Though they have every reason to still chase a playoff place, there is an increasing inconsistency in results that threatens to derail the team from having a chance to play in Europe again next season.
Veria host Olympiacos in what should be a straightforward match-up for the league leaders and defending champions. Olympiacos came through a top two clash last week against a depleted Xanthi side with relative ease and on the paper this looks like a mismatch. Karim Ansarifard opened up his scoring account in the midweek 1-1 first leg Greek Cup draw with Aris. The question is now whether Paulo Bento will stick with the Iranian and play him ahead of either Brown Ideye or Oscar Cardozo. In other team news, Luka Milivojevic appears to be available this week after a potential transfer to Crystal Palace seems to have fallen through.
Veria have loads of off-the-pitch issues which include a takeover in the works at the current time. The club are also in search of a new manager as Thomas Grafas was let go after the midweek defeat to Iraklis. That loss also meant that instead of pulling away from the pack, Veria are back amongst the relegation sides, only above the drop zone on goal difference from Levadiakos. If the club were able to grab even a point in this match it would be a welcome boost considering the problems the club currently face. | 2019-04-23T00:51:05 | https://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/20170127-7 |

Situated east of the Virgin Islands, north of St. Kitts, Nevis, and St. Barts, Anguilla is still one of the Caribbean's best-kept secrets. This small, tranquil island is ideal for those seeking a laid-back beach getaway. Among the main attractions of the island are spectacular and ecologically important coral reefs perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving, over 30 unspoiled beaches, and an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Greg Norman.
13,500 - Approximately three quarters of the inhabitants of Anguillians are native; most of the remaining quarter are from the United States, United Kingdom, St Kitts & Nevis, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica.
The heritage of Anguilla's people created the diverse culture currently present on the island. The Amerindian tribes from South America were the island's first inhabitants. In the seventeenth century, the English colonized Anguilla and brought over African slaves. Slavery in Anguilla was abolished in 1834. Today, most of the residents of Anguilla are of African descent, although there is a growing Caucasian population. The island has an estimated adult literacy rate of 95%.
The economy of Anguilla is primarily based on luxury tourism, offshore banking, and fishing.
The Eastern Caribbean dollar is the local currency. The exchange rate is fixed to the U.S. dollar at approximately about $2.70 (EC) to $1 (USD). While the U.S. dollar is widely accepted, store prices will be listed in Eastern Caribbean dollars and change will be given in local currency. The airport and most hotels in Anguilla have currency exchanges, but it is better to exchange currency at commercial banks because they give a better rate, and you can save money by not using foreign currency for purchases. The island possesses modern banking facilities, including five ATMs. Most major businesses, hotels, and restaurants accept major credit cards, although it's a good idea to call ahead and ask just to be sure.
Sunrise: Between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.
Sunset: Between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Like most of the Caribbean, Anguilla is in the Atlantic time zone.
The water is potable; for the cautious, however, bottled water is available throughout the island.
The people of Anguilla are predominantly of the Christian faith, and Anglicans and Methodists are the most popular denominations. Seventh Day Adventists, Baptists, and Roman Catholics are also represented. More than a dozen churches on the island (one every two miles) make attending religious services quite easy. The birthplace of Robert Athlyi Rogers, author of The Holy Piby, Anguilla also has a minor Rastafarian influence.
The area code for Anguilla is 264. Public pay phones, many of which accept phone cards that can be purchased at shops and hotels, are available throughout the island.
The Anguillan is a popular local newspaper on the island and “What We Do in Anguilla” is a monthly magazine for tourists. Access to radio and cable television is prominent in Anguilla.
The Valley, Anguilla's capital city, has a post office that is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and the island also offers several international courier services, such as Federal Express and UPS. Airmail to the United States and Canada generally takes one to two weeks to reach its destination, while mail addressed to the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe may take up to three weeks. It costs EC$1.50 to send postcards and letters up to a half ounce to the United States, Canada, or Europe. Postage is slightly higher to send mail to Australia or New Zealand.
Located in the Valley, the Anguilla Public Library is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The facility has approximately 14,000 books available and offers high-speed Internet access for a small fee.
Anguilla is a casual island. Slacks, polo shirts, skirts, sundresses and sandals are acceptable everywhere. Men should leave jackets, button down shirts and socks at home. Women should leave fancy clothing. | 2019-04-24T12:02:53 | http://www.freedomhouseanguilla.com/island-overview |

Isagani Cajucom, entrepreneur and farmer leader for the Silage Production project of PCC and DOST-PCAARRD shares his experience on corn silage production to attendees of the Pistang Kalabaw in PCC, Nueva Ecija.
Enterprising farmers can look at corn silage production as an alternative source of livelihood. Corn silage is a form of carabao feed made from chopped corn plants that are sealed tight in a silo or container and then fermented for two to three weeks. It is a nutritious feed for carabaos as it is a good source of energy and protein.
Isagani Cajucom, a farmer entrepreneur, is an adopter of the silage production technology. He is a farmer leader for the Silage Production project of the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) and the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD). DOST-PCAARRD’s supports the project through its Technomart (TM) modality.
Cajucom has been producing and marketing corn silage in Nueva Ecija. During one cycle of planting and harvesting, he produced 54,729 kilograms of corn silage in his two-hectare lot which sold at P191,551.50. It provided him a total net income of P66,661.60 after deducting the cost for labor, planting materials, pesticide and herbicide application, irrigation, materials for chopping, and transportation, among others.
In a span of two years, Cajucom has earned a total net income of P582,475.80 from four cycles of planting and harvesting.
Cajucom said that the market for corn silage is huge. In the Philippines alone, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, there are 2.86 million carabao heads as of July 2014. In a day, a farmer engaged in dairy carabao production needs about 25 to 30kilograms (kg) of feeds in 24 hours for a carabao weighing from 400 to 500kg. Not all farmers have access to open pastures where they can let their carabaos graze, hence the potential of corn silage production. Currently, aside from Nueva Ecija,Cajucom sees demand from Quezon, Batangas, and Pangasinan.
Cajucom, however, admits that he has also encountered some constraints in corn silage production, including the availability of corn seeds, varying cost of labor, availability of water, and the availability of forage chopper.
Cajucom also noted that corn silage production won’t hinder regular corn production for food and poultry feeds, as both can be a farmer’s form of livelihood. According to Cajucom, a farmer can gauge where he can profit more by looking at the price of corn in the market.
Cajucom shared his experience during the Pistang Kalabaw held at the national headquarters of PCC, at the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija. Pistang Kalabaw is part of the Farms and Industry Encounters through Science and Technology Agenda (FIESTA), an initiative of DOST-PCAARRD. It is a technology transfer modality that aims to bridge farmers and the micro, small, and medium-scale industries through a science and technology-based platform.
Silage production technology is one of the many R&D outputs supported by DOST-PCAARRD in keeping with its commitment under DOST’s Outcome One: to provide science-based know-how and tools that will enable the agricultural sector to raise productivity to world-class standards.
DOST’s avowal of public service once more takes center stage as it celebrates this year’s National Science and Technology Week on July 24-28 at SMX Mall of Asia, Pasay City with Philippines: A Science Nation Innovating for Global Competitiveness as its theme. | 2019-04-23T06:25:10 | http://www.agricultureph.com/2016/12/corn-silage-production-as-enterprise.html |
You must know what you’re doing when you make the deal or Satan will cheat you blind. That’s the word from Dr. Rex Touth, expert on satanic rituals and author of How to Negotiate Unholy Contracts.
Dr. Touth cites cases dating all the way back to the 16th century in which humans have agreed to spend eternity in Hell when they die in exchange for earthly pleasures while they’re alive.
“Human history and world literature are teeming with stories like that of Germany’s Dr. Faustus who sold his soul,” says Dr. Touth. “Our own American statesman Daniel Webster once debated Satan in a landmark soul-selling case in which he renegotiated the contract and had it overturned.
SET THE DEAL UP PROPERLY. There’s a right and wrong way to make contact with the Devil. The right way is to be alone in your room, close your eyes and say, “Satan, I summon you. I have a quality soul to sell if the price is right.” It may take dozens, even hundreds of tries but at all costs, avoid sounding desperate or needy. He’ll show up eventually.
DEAL FROM A POSITION OF POWER. By far the biggest mistake people make is to underestimate how badly Satan wants their soul. It’s like precious gold to him and he’ll pay anything to get it. When he appears, get him to make the first offer, then up it.
REMEMBER TO DEMAND THE LIFE-EXTENSION CLAUSE. Satan won’t tell you if you don’t ask but you can get a guarantee of 300 years of youthful life before you go to eternal damnation. Why enjoy a mere 75 or 80 years of reckless living when you can get 300? | 2019-04-20T10:18:28 | http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/8069/how-to-sell-your-soul-to-the-devil/ |

Sophie Dorbeaux meanwhile told AFP she had left the block on Sunday night to stay with her parents because her door, like several others, was not opening or closing properly because of the building's structural problems.
The discovery of a fifth victim at dawn on Wednesday came as angry local people accused Marseille officials of leaving the city's poorer residents living in risky housing.
The building had been the subject of an appraisal and work in October.
120 police officers and 80 firefighters during the night clearing the debris.
The two buildings, one apparently vacant and the other housing apartments, collapsed on Monday at 9am local time (9pm NZT).
Authorities said they were looking into what caused the collapse of the buildings, described by residents of the area as dilapidated and in need of fix.
Google Maps images taken in recent months showed the two collapsed buildings had large visible cracks in their facades.
"We still have hope, even if that hope is fading". "It is the houses of poor people that collapse - and that is no coincidence", he was quoted as saying by local media.
But a 2015 government report said about 100,000 Marseille residents were living in housing that was unsafe to their health or security. The disaster, he added, was "100 percent the fault of city hall".
Marseille prosecutor Xavier Tabareux said the body of a woman was recovered after three other people - two men and a woman - were found dead in the rubble earlier. He said it was believed that eight people - five residents and three visitors - were in number 65 when it collapsed.

About a year ago, I served on a discussion panel at the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) conference. The topic was how high school science teachers and high school science classes could better prepare students for the college science experience. This discussion got me thinking more about this topic. And as I’ve watched standardized testing move science courses more toward memorization and less toward inquiry, I have become more and more concerned. Through my research, the information that I’ve found has led to even more questions that we should all be asking.
In May 2005, Indiana University conducted a “High School Survey of Student Engagement.” Along with the “Community College Survey of Student Engagement,” tens of thousands of students were surveyed about how ready they were for college. Here is a sampling of what was learned.
College students are expected to study 2-3 hours outside of class for every class hour they are taking. However, 55% of the high school students said they did all their high school homework in 3 hours or less per week! What does this mean? Should we restructure high schools so that there is less time in formal class environments and more time with structured tutorials where students learn how to study? Yet, high school students are not college students. Do they need more teacher contact time? How do we resolve the need for more independent study with the frenetic pace of most high schools?
82% of high school students surveyed said they planned on going on to some type of postsecondary education. However, only 10% of current ninth graders will actually enroll in college and stay a second year. This is big gap. What does it mean? Should we be working differently to prepare high school students for college work and success? How do we do that?
88% of high school students felt they had the skills to complete their assignments, but only 66% said their high school prepared them well for college. Another gap! How can we better prepare students for the college experience? Are we willing to look at our high schools and substantially change them?
In an article from Education Week (Connect Ed)1, the author stressed the need for a better connection between how courses are taught at the high school level and how they are taught at colleges and universities. This raises the complicated question – who should change, high school or college instructors? One thing we should consider is the longstanding debate between “depth” and “breadth” instruction. A recent study 2 showed that high school students whose teacher used a “breadth” approach, most common in high schools, did less well in their college classes. Francis Eberle, the executive director of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) argues that the while it is reasonable to look at how high school teachers are teaching, the disconnect rests, in part, on how college classes are taught: lots of lecture and a huge amount of material to memorize.
A 2006 ACT report analyzing the tests of the previous year’s high school graduates found that 49% lacked the reading skills they needed to have a high probability of success in college. In California in 2006, 55% of freshmen were taking remedial math and/or English their first year of college. National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) has done similar studies with similar results. Michael Kirst, a Stanford University education professor says that “few standards are developed for 11th and 12th grades or connected to the academic expectations of colleges.”3 We are not helping our students read at college level.
How can science classes help promote college level reading? We need to challenge students to read and understand complex texts if we want our students to succeed in college.
My high school, East Chapel Hill High School, has a fairly rigorous science curriculum with 5 solid AP classes and a senior class in human biology. We produce a great number of students who are interested in science and want to pursue science as a career, and yet some of them are totally “put off” by some of their college experiences. They cite Organic Chemistry and some biology classes as just incredibly hard and they are diverted from their science goals. This raises some questions. Should these students be diverted? Are too many being diverted? Is there a way that high schools and colleges can come together so that the college science classes are not so shocking to high school students?
Below is a link to the College Board Standards for College Success (CBSCS). A variety of high school teachers, college professors, curriculum experts, scientists, and others have worked together to produce this document. The focus is on high schools – both what they teach and how they teach. The CBSCS first started with what students need to know and be able to do in AP and college classes. Then, they worked backward to build the infrastructure from middle school onward that would reach those goals.
As you look these standards over, think about your school and your curriculum. Do you meet these standards? How would you improve your science instruction in order to meet the standards? Would your school organization require a revision? How could that be done?
I have asked some challenging questions. I don’t have answers for these. The answers may vary by school or by system. But I firmly believe that they need to be addressed.
As always, if you have comments or ideas about your experiences, please share them with me. | 2019-04-20T00:39:20 | http://teachersnetwork.org/ntol/howto/science/Sciencecollege.htm |
My amazing sister-in-law Xan and her family will soon be leaving Arizona and moving across the country. She invited all her sisters and SIL’s to a quick trip to Sedona as a last hurrah before she moves away. We just got back and had THE best time!
We left most of the kids at home, piled ourselves up high with snacks and chick flicks and did what women do best: ate, yakked and got creative. My MIL (the queen of DIY), brought several crafts and I hoisted my sewing machine along so I could teach my nieces how to sew skirts!
If there’s anything I enjoy as much as sewing myself something new, it’s teaching someone else how to do the same. We worked with knits and made a half circle skater skirt, a mini pencil skirt (I can’t even!!) and a maxi skirt. Didn’t they do a good job??
These girls are just the most adorable and sweetest things around. I had so much fun watching them play perfectly together, do each other’s fingernails and, of course, have a dance party (girl getaway requirement).
The scenery included gorgeous red rock vistas, pretty desert landscape (that’s a thing! It can be pretty!) and this fun old classic car. In a city full of snow birds, you’re bound to see a couple vintage cruisers.
Luke’s sister Katie provided her signature entertainment: flatulence and an adorable high-pitched giggle. We also learned how she’s been getting so many steps on her Fitbit: she likes to flip a balloon back and forth with her dominant hand. Apparently Fitbit thinks a flip of the wrist is a step. Now you know, in case you feel the need to cheat your way to a few more steps. Haha!
On the way back we found our way to the Rock Springs Cafe just north of Phoenix. It’s renowned for its pie so naturally we had to judge for ourselves. After picking up some treats (a full cherry pie for me and a couple mini lemon meringues for my babysitters), we stopped into a nearby thrift shop.
My grand total? TWENTY-SIX DOLLARS. The couch was $10 but all their furniture was 50% off. HA! I love other people’s junk.
Can’t really think of a better way to end a trip than with a big cheap car-full of loot. And can you please check out Mimi’s side eye in this picture (not to mention those thighs)? I die!!
Here’s a close up for your viewing pleasure. I think all chubby babies should be required to wear too-small leggings.
And here’s the whole crew, minus a passed out baby in the car.
Use a portable crib in a walk-in closet. This only works if you’re staying in another person’s home or a nice condo/timeshare but if you can find a closet big enough, it’s GOLD! In fact, if your baby can’t crawl yet, a small closet will work just as well. Just lay out some blankets on the floor.
Place a portable crib by the window and drape the curtains around it. If there’s a separate blackout curtain (most hotels have these) then leave that between the crib and the window. That way your baby is shielded from both sunlight as well as the noise and distraction of the room and other people in it.
Put baby to sleep in the bathtub! My MIL came up with this trick on our Sedona trip and Marilyn slept, well…like a baby! We placed two flat pillows horizontally in the tub and laid her right in the crack of the pillows. She still likes to be swaddled and doesn’t roll around while sleeping so this worked perfectly. It wouldn’t be a great idea for an older baby, obviously. Our hotel room was a suite with a separate room for the bathtub/toilet so we turned on the exhaust fan and closed the door once she was asleep. Genius!
I’m considering writing a whole series of tips for traveling with babies and toddlers so if you have a favorite trick, please share it in the comments!
For hotel sleeping with babies and kids – this is what we usually do. (We have 5 kids) We try to get a room with 2 queen and a pull out couch. We put the pull out mattress on the floor and the 3 boys sleep on it. Sometimes, the oldest boy sleeps on the refolded couch, but when we have a smaller baby we push the couch up against the side of one of the queen beds (this often requires a lot of moving of furniture). The seat of the couch is against the side of the bed and it serves as a kind of co-sleeper/crib for an older baby/toddler. So, often we have a baby in the couch/sleeper, two or three boys on the floor, a parent in each queen bed, and another kid that is either in a queen with a parent or on blankets on the floor because she likes to be with her big brothers! | 2019-04-25T19:43:51 | https://bonnieandblithe.com/sisters-trip-to-sedona/ |

If you have any tips for me in preparing them, let me know!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I love your wreath post, it has lots of ideas. You spent a lot of time on this and it shows. Great pictures.
You are going to have a lot of people copying your idea! What a versatile wreath. I love each version and I am going to look for that burlap deco mesh. Fabulous idea!
You are the most awesome wreath maker ever! I love the versatility of the one wreath.
Thank you so much for such a detailed tutorial. I just followed your directions and now have a great wreath for my front door! Thanks again! | 2019-04-20T18:40:10 | https://misskopykat.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-wreath-for-all-seasons.html |

CloudHealth is a well-trusted and award-winning cloud management and optimization platform that empowers organizations, businesses, IT teams, cloud specialists, and LOB managers to speed up business transformation by providing them with the capability to gain insights into cloud costs, evaluate and manage the utilization of cloud and hybrid infrastructure resources, address security issues, set infrastructure management policies, and automate their workflows.
CloudHealth allows users to collect and aggregate data from their cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments; giving them complete visibility of their environments and flexible ways to analyze and manage costs, configuration, performance, and security. Once all important data are gathered in one solution, they can be correlated with business goals and evaluated according to groups or criteria that simplify business decision making.
The platform is built with intuitive reporting capabilities that let teams visualize and analyze infrastructure assets and services, and the corresponding data in ways that are most meaningful to them. As a result, they can fully understand what’s happening in their infrastructures, pinpoint the root causes of issues, and mitigate risks to optimize infrastructure performance, availability, and security.
The cloud management and optimization platform delivers the ability to automate workflows and actions so organizations can implement best practices and increase the efficiency of their business operations. Custom policies and guidelines can be created that define how automated actions and tasks are executed.
Data collection and consolidation is one of the reliable features available in CloudHealth. It can gather and organize data in one place regardless of which environment such data come from; be it public, multi-cloud, or hybrid infrastructure. The platform has open APIs which enable users to collect data from services that are hosted in the cloud such as AWS, Azure, and Google.
An agentless data collector can also be deployed to hosted and local systems to store important information. Moreover, if users want to collect information related to the performance and configuration of local infrastructures like disk and memory; they will be able to do that using the platform’s lightweight endpoint agents that they can deploy to running cloud instances.
As the platform gives teams complete visibility of their infrastructures through data collection and consolidation, it permits them to organize infrastructure assets in various ways so they can evaluate the gathered data more accurately and meaningfully. One way is by assembling infrastructure assets and services through the aid of tags or labels. Thus, they can organize their resources by assigning labels according to department product, environment, applications, customer, or role. In addition, the platform permits them to categorize resources by adding metadata to them. This way, they can track costs much better as the platform keeps historical records of their assets over time.
Another way to organize assets and evaluate data is by making sure that infrastructure assets and services are organized in such a way that they are aligned with one’s business objectives. The platform actually has a feature called Perspectives which are criteria that users can set as they group their resources. Perspectives enable them to assess data accurately to determine whether they are complying with their business goals and requirements and hitting business metrics. In addition, they are very useful when generating reports for stakeholders who are managing and evaluating the health and performance of the infrastructures.
CloudHealth produces reports that assist teams in analyzing infrastructure usage, costs, performance, security, availability, and inventory. They will be able to easily identify if there is something wrong in their infrastructures such as when there is a sudden increase in costs or when there are spikes in the instances.
Teams can drill down into the details of the reports so they can determine the reason why such issues are happening. The platform can help them pinpoint the things that influence usage, costs, performance, availability, and security across different ecosystems.
In addition, because the platform can correlate data sets with business goals and perspectives, users can track how changes in an infrastructure affect the performance of their business. Thus, it provides them with a clear and business-centric way to analyze infrastructure events, trends, and projections; allowing them to improve how they come up with decisions.
To improve the performance, usage, availability, and security of their infrastructures, mitigate risks, and reduce costs; CloudHealth is equipped with optimization features that enable teams to refine their infrastructures and prepare strategies continuously.
The platform can show areas of improvement and generates recommendations as it monitors how infrastructures are being utilized from past to present. For example, it can define specific areas or aspects that need automation.
Also, the platform ensures that all insights can be translated into actions, permitting teams to conduct capacity planning, purchasing, resource allocation, and infrastructure resizing and reconfiguration in the best possible ways.
Policy management and workflow automation are the features included in CloudHealth that streamline infrastructure management and governance. With these features, IT teams and managers can eliminate manual processes, save time, and execute actions rapidly. They will be able to create policies and rules that define and trigger automated actions. For instance, they can configure a policy so that an investigation is automatically initiated when a security violation is detected from an instance.
As users set up policy-driven and automated workflows, they can also create approval and authorization processes wherein notifications and alerts are sent to the right individuals and infrastructure changes are implemented automatically.
If you are considering CloudHealth it might also be beneficial to analyze other subcategories of Best Cloud Management Software gathered in our base of SaaS software reviews.
There are popular and widely used systems in each software category. But are they automatically the best fit for your enterprise’s unique needs? A market-leading software solution may have thousands of users, but does it offer what you need? For this reason, do not blindly invest in popular systems. Read at least a few CloudHealth reviews and think about the elements that you want in the software such as the fees, main tools, available integrations etc. Then, select a few apps that fit your needs.

Andy Thomas AO (b. 1951) is an astronaut and aerospace engineer, recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and the Yuri Gagarin Medal. Born and educated in Adelaide, an engineer by profession, he managed a number of aeronautical programs and patented several inventions before joining NASA in 1992. He made his first space flight in 1996. Some two years later he boarded the shuttle Endeavour to dock at the Mir space station, where he worked as Board Engineer 2 for 130 days. In 2001 he became the first Australian to undertake a spacewalk, riding the space shuttle Discovery to spend over six hours affixing components to the outside of the International Space Station. Deputy Chief of the Astronaut Office at NASA from 2001, in 2005 he flew on the STS114 Discovery shuttle, undertaking new methods to inspect the orbiter in flight and to verify its fitness for re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. Over the course of his four missions, Thomas spent more than 177 days in space. Now, he is working on means to lead astronauts out into deep space, where he anticipates some profound questions will be answered, and some unfathomable questions will be raised.
Denis Montalbetti and Gay Campbell (b. 1957 and b. 1958), New-York based Canadian-born fashion and editorial photographers, researched Thomas’s career and his appearance before conceiving this highly-coloured heroic image. They reported that Thomas was a ‘gracious and enthusiastic’ subject as he posed patiently against the streaky blue background representing the earth viewed from space.
An interview with Australian astronaut, Dr. Andy Thomas, who describes the experience of space travel.
This edited version of a speech by Andrew Sayers examines some of the antecedents of the National Portrait Gallery and set out the ideas behind the modern Gallery and its collection.
Magda Keaney talks with Montalbetti+Campbell about their photographic portrait of Australian astronaut Andy Thomas. | 2019-04-20T16:47:39 | https://www.portrait.gov.au/portraits/2002.32/andy-thomas |
When it comes to Terry O'Neill, October is an important month for his archive.
Two of the most memorable photo moments O'Neill captured were taken in October in the 1970's. In 1973 he photographed the last performance of David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' and in 1975 he went on to capture Elton's performance at Dodger Stadium (on October 25 and 26). The latter was celebrated a few years ago with the book, Two Days That Rocked The World (for which this Web site's Chief Editor arranged a couple of the interviews).
Offer ends 31s October 2018 - Buy Now!
Meanwhile, to celebrate the launch of Terry's Rare & Unseen, Iconic Images is proud to present Rare & Unseen: The Exhibition, showcasing vintage prints, many of which are being exhibited for the first time.
Everyone who purchases the deluxe edition of Rare & Unseen will receive a VIP Pass to the private opening of the exhibit in London on November 7.
The public display will run from November 8, 2018 through the 30th of January, 2019 at the Iconic Images Gallery.
EJW readers may recall that Terry turned 80 this past summer. To mark his 80th birthday and 60 years in the business, the lensman selected a range of images from his extensive archive--including three EJ images for his latest book, Rare & Unseen. | 2019-04-26T12:34:12 | http://eltonjohnworld.com/index.php/news/6387-news-about-a-prolific-celebrity-photographer |
Problems related to balls and boxes can be classified mainly into 4 categories.
This case is one of the most interesting case. This can be solved in many ways.
We first divide 5 balls into 3 different groups and then we allocate these groups into 3 boxes.
But when any of m,n, or p are same we have to divide by that similar numbers. Here in 2, 2, 1 two 2's are same. So final answer should be divided by 2!.
Suppose your dad has given you 100 rupees to buy ice-creasms. Let us say an ice cream costs you Rs.25. In an ice cream shop there are 5 varieties of ice cream available. Chololate, Vanilla, strawberry, Butter scotch, Pista.You can buy any varieties but you can buy maximum 4 ice creams as an ice cream costs you Rs.25 each.
This is a problem of finding intezer solutions to the above equation where sum of all the numbers in the places of 5 different ice creams is equal to 4.
We can apply the same logic to the balls and boxes where balls are similar (as ice creams of same variety are similar) but the sum of the balls in all the boxes together must equal to 4.
Now A + B + C + D = 4 where any of these numbers can be Zero.
In this case we should take only natural numbers as 0 is not allowed.
This is one of the typical probelm where we attempt to solve it by using a special recurrence table called Stirling numbers of second kind.
Here column N represents number of balls and K represents number of boxes.
Now 4 ball and 4 boxes can be arranged in 1 + 7 + 6 + 1 = 15 ways. | 2019-04-26T12:52:59 | https://www.campusgate.co.in/2011/10/permutations-balls-and-boxes-related.html |
I’m that ginger photographer, the one in the flat cap that you’ve seen lying down or stood on top of a wheelie bin photographing all manner of events throughout the county for the last 20 years.
I have worked for the Gloucestershire Echo and Citizen first as a photographer and for the last four years as the picture editor, providing photographic coverage of everything from horse racing at Cheltenham to racing cheese down Cooper’s Hill, from the worst weather, floods and storms to Stormtroopers visiting the local cinema.
For me it’s all about capturing the moment and great facial expressions, whether it is photographing royalty or a new born baby. I have met some of the most amazing people and done the most amazing things all the while capturing stunning images that tell the story and convey emotions. The passion I have put into working for the papers is something I can bring to every job, giving nothing less than 100%.
From events photography and lifestyle shoots to prospectus photography for schools I am always looking for that perfect image, in the pursuit of perfection I will insure my clients will always achieve the best possible results from their job. I know it should go without saying but I care about every job and doing my best, it was something instilled in me early on in my photographic career. When your name goes above a picture in the paper you very quickly learn you are only as good as your last picture. | 2019-04-19T10:34:37 | https://mikalludlow.com/about/ |
This paper presents an active control dedicated to the positioning of vertical offshore structures. The trajectory planning and the closed loop system use a convenient model given by the Bernoulli’s historical cable equation, completed with a damping factor, that linearly depends on the structure speed. Its solution is directly used in the control design, providing an extension to previous works on control of heavy chains and offshore structures. | 2019-04-24T00:44:51 | http://cas.ensmp.fr/Publications/Publications/Conferences_files/OffshoreMotionPlanning.html |
Wii Sports is remembered as a game that broke down barriers, and, thanks in large part to the Wii Remote’s simplicity, demonstrated that anyone could play.
That is, until now. On The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the comedian was joined by US Open Men’s Singles champion Stan Wawrinka who was left completely dumbstruck by the Wii release.
Whether it was part of the skit or not, the Swiss tennis star didn’t even manage to hit the ball once with Fallon claiming match point after serving a string of Aces. That was evidently an embarrassment to Wawrinka, who joked that he would never come back to play against Fallon again! | 2019-04-18T16:39:00 | https://www.nintendo-insider.com/jimmy-fallon-takes-on-stan-wawrinka-at-wii-sports/ |
I've been meaning to update the blog and it's been a while since I've posted, and these past few days I kept starting off with a negative view on things. It's been a rough first few weeks for the launch of SBX: Invasion and I was a bit down but I kept deleting the posts, I didn't want to write something negative. I sat down and thought for a bit: What motivates me to continue working as an indie developer? Why do I love it?
And as I thought and waited, I continued my efforts of marketing the game and I found what I'd been looking for. It's not about the tons of sales, it's not about the giant press articles or getting your game noticed by the big wig websites. It's about that one person who plays your game, and forms a connection with it. About that person who plays it and experiences what it has to offer and laughs and has fun.
I've been sending the game out to all sorts of places: Big name Youtube let's players, Indie game review sites, etc, etc. But the most enjoyable response so far was from a little no name Youtuber named Xelipher who has a meager audience. Watching him enjoy the game and learn how it works and be challenged but succeed is one of the best feelings. Forming that connection with a player through the game is the joy of being an indie for me.
I learned a lot watching him play through the levels as well. I'd tested the game extensively, but most of my testers were found on reddit and I hadn't really seen their reactions as much and it was mostly contact through forms and e-mail.
Watching Xelipher play through, seeing what was difficult and seeing the things he didn't do that I would have done or would have expected the player to do was extremely rewarding. And it's rewarding because it's genuine.
Right now a lot of indies are worried about the "Indie Bubble" but really, you just have to be smart about it. Being an indie is art. It's passion. It's love. If the bubble pops or if the bubble stays, it really doesn't matter, it's about doing what you are passionate about, what you love.
Even if SBX: Invasion never takes off, developing the game was worth it just to form a connection with a player. I've enjoyed creating the game, and I'll still continue to market it, but for me, it was a success. I'll move on with other projects and start the marketing process earlier and apply the things I've learned from this one as well.
For me this is the greatest joy of being an indie. What about you? Why do you do it? Why do you love it? | 2019-04-26T10:06:07 | http://blog.wakeskaterstudio.com/2013/11/an-indies-greatest-joy.html |
This way of thinking is useful because it stops me from wasting too much time or energy on people who through no fault of their own cannot truly understand or appreciate what I have to offer. In a relationship there is always an understanding or compromise that needs to be made when there is conflict. If you are crying or yelling, take a moment to breathe and recenter yourself. Please help me break this cycle. In the moment, it fills you up and distracts you from underlying feelings of purposelessness and dissatisfaction with your life. As you sing, just move from square to square, looking at that one person briefly and then moving to the next square. Just yesterday I was so so deeply triggered and went through my day in a haze of fury, resentment and deep-seated anger at….
Turning 51 and looking more and more like a troll had something to do with it. Developing this requires self-observation, learning and practice but eventually you will be able to take care of yourself in situations where you might normally depend on someone else. Whilst it can be good to express some feelings and needs to others, you can do so in combination with compassionate understanding, sympathetic attention and loving speech. I know it can be difficult, but when we experience negative emotions, we must try to stay calm, because acting under the influence of strong emotions can have negative consequences. Arrow Books, 1985 What a great article! The best thing I can do is get silent avoid the person that triggered me and continue with my life. Sometimes, we find ourselves caught up in an inner world of mental attachments and reactions. Focusing on the simple in and out of breathing is soothing! Some psychologists claim that there is no such thing as happy tears; that people who cry at weddings, for example, may be worried about what the future holds for the bride and groom, or how the marriage might affect their relationship with the newly married pair.
That could hurt your feelings, and you might even feel sad or angry because of it. According to neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, author of , at any moment, your rate of breathing, blood flow, tension in your muscles and constriction in your gut represents a pattern you can identify as a feeling. It is easy to self-diagnose, but in the end, you are best off with professionals who may be able to figure out if a person is depressed or highly sensitive due to other factors. I went from being a confident successful single parent to an emotionally dependant child. Some seem to overlap; choose the words you feel strongly about and begin to notice when your reactions are tied to an unmet needs. If the human world were more accepting of sensitivity, there would be a kinder, gentler approach to many things in life.
And though I received excellent advice about rehearsing nontearful things I might say in a confrontation, such as the one with my son's daycare administrator, that didn't work, either. Cortisol triggers cravings for salty, sweet, and fried foods—foods that give you a burst of energy and pleasure. When someone criticizes you, use it as a moment to better yourself. . Growing up, we all experienced pain, shame, trauma, abuse, heartbreak, and feeling left out. Try it next time you find yourself caught in a wave of emotion. I humiliated myself begging him to come back as I could not function without him.
The person who seeks a caretaker may have been raised in a very neglectful situation. If you have been blessed with the task of writing and delivering a eulogy for the deceased, then it may seem like an inordinate amount of the stress has been placed squarely on your shoulders; so much so that it may not feel like a blessing at all, but rather a curse. People often distract themselves by focusing on a personal goal. For something new and different: prior to speaking, write down a few long division problems. Most emotional eaters feel powerless over their food cravings.
Be deliberate with your words and take your time so that you can keep your composure. This is why making friends with yourself begins with being able to express and listen to your inner child. Neurosis and human growth, 237. At times, however, emotions uncontrollably drive the way we feel and how we act, so much so that we get caught in a cyclone of emotion that consumes us and begins to affect everything and everyone around us. They present differently in writing vs.
The open glottis feels like a lump in your throat. If your behaviour suggests that people can walk all over you then some people will see an opportunity in what you are unknowingly advertising. Make it your project to explore and repeat what works for you. The goal is to not get too emotional for the simple purpose of wanting people to understand your speech. This may trigger understandably helpless feelings of anxiety, fear, despair, anger or even hatred.
And this sadomasochistic notion of what it means to be loved causes them to get excited by the prospect of being with someone who presents the kind of challenge that they think love has to involve. I met this girl when I isolated myself away from my family and felt so lucky to have found her. I can process why some of us look stronger and capable. The solution is to start a late teenage rebellion by disagreeing with the bad parent who now exists mainly in their own head. And even if it was just barely, I was still standing. The subject of singing with emotion is a challenging one for all singers, but especially so for Gospel and Christian music singers.
Break your audience into 4 squares. Try to avoid going into situations with others expecting certain actions or reactions. Yawning helps to relax your throat muscles, which means that it helps ease the tightness you're feeling there. I have asked her to watch out for another boy who has been biting my son, but she brushes off my concerns. You feel like you need cheesecake or pizza, and nothing else will do. This type of communication will allow you to put a stop to the abuse through denying the abuser relief from their uncomfortable feelings. But once you have fully expressed, sympathised with and soothed yourself then it may be worth considering whether any unnecessary resistance or insistence played a role in your distress. | 2019-04-25T06:21:52 | http://sapbusinessonezambia.com/how-to-stop-getting-emotional.html |
Why Kill a Man Who Heals?
Can you imagine watching someone heal a handicapped person, and then want to go and kill the healer? Really?
Well, that's exactly what happened to Jesus.
Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"
Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
I don't know about you, but this just seems strange. Were the religious leaders of the day just so blinded by power and prestige, that they couldn't allow a guy to help people?
Do we act the same way?
When someone reaches out to help others, are we quick to judge them, and make them look bad?
What if someone was to go help the homeless? I've heard people say, "Why would you help them? If they would just get a job, then they'd be ok."
Or, I've heard people trying to reach out to pregnant teenagers, "Why would you help her? She's a whore!!"
But why are people so quick to go and criticize others who are trying to reach out and help the world? The Pharisees were obviously angry.
Maybe it was because Jesus was doing things that jeopardized their power struggle.
Maybe it was because Jesus' power was in the common man who knew He could reach out and heal.
Maybe people need the sick, the poor, the afflicted, so they can continue to rule someone.
I just hope we're not a generation who hold laws so tight, we're unwilling to reach out to the needy.

5 Reasons - why Singapore Math is Very Popular?
According to a study called ‘International Mathematics and Science Study’ (an achievement test set by policymakers and educators globally), Singapore students are, on a global level, the best performing students in the subjects of mathematics and science. In this test, Primary 4 pupils and Secondary 2 students (179 primary schools and 167 secondary schools were included in the sample) topped the Mathematics test.
Singapore Maths in particular is regarded to have a very high standard globally, both in terms of its syllabus and the way the subject is being handled in examinations. This is especially because the Ministry of Education in Singapore is aware that Mathematics is of paramount importance in various professions and it’s a subject that influences a lot of fields. It is a prerequisite to many important areas and as a reinforcement to that, you can see mathematics manifested in many ways around us. Thus, the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) education at a tertiary level is given lots of importance and educational experts assent to the significance of staying ahead of the curve in terms of the Mathematics syllabus.
Educational experts often question why Singapore students, in general, perform exceptionally well in Mathematics and what makes Singapore Mathematics students special.
A strong base is a key to everything. Singapore’s education system believes in building a strong foundation for children and it is absolutely true that this will bring students far in their education. There are various programmed and support systems created and in place to help students to cope with and perform well in mathematics. Such programmes include the ‘Night study’ programme, supplementary classes, head-start programme, remedial lessons, and one-to-one consultations.
These skills are of high importance in the Singapore education system, particularly in mathematics. By teaching children to think critically to solve problems from the beginning, it will become second nature to them, which means children will come up with an immediate response that starts off from reading, to analyzing, hypothesizing, testing and finally figuring out the answer. With constant practice through school assignments and examinations, students are trained to be critical thinkers. | 2019-04-23T02:34:57 | https://www.championtutor.com/blog/5-reasons-why-singapore-math-is-very-popular/ |
This Hubble image shows a peculiar galaxy known as NGC 660, located around 45 million light-years away from us.
NGC 660 is classified as a "polar ring galaxy", meaning that it has a belt of gas and stars around its centre that it ripped from a near neighbour during a clash about one billion years ago. The first polar ring galaxy was observed in 1978 and only around a dozen more have been discovered since then, making them something of a cosmic rarity.
Unfortunately, NGC 660’s polar ring cannot be seen in this image, but has plenty of other features that make it of interest to astronomers – its central bulge is strangely off-kilter and, perhaps more intriguingly, it is thought to harbour exceptionally large amounts of dark matter. In addition, in late 2012 astronomers observed a massive outburst emanating from NGC 660 that was around ten times as bright as a supernova explosion. This burst was thought to be caused by a massive jet shooting out of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
45 milion light-Years away from us is a very huge timeframe! | 2019-04-25T18:28:44 | http://earthspacecircle.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-ngc-660-galaxy.html |

MIA collaborates with tailors in Africa to deliver unique formalwear. Shop their pieces online at mialdn.com.
Would you recommend MIA LDN to a friend?
Hey @ajiayorinde, how does MIA LDN's design process work and what's on the horizon for 2018?
Hi @Abadesi, so the design process is intended to be collaborative. On the 'ready-to-wear' side there is little customer involvement. Here, either I will lead the design process myself and the tailor will bring the design to life or the tailor may make suggestions themselves. On the 'bespoke' side, both myself and the tailor will collaborate with the customer/client to bring a design to life that the customer/client has in mind, or we will make suggestions ourselves. We may also pitch concepts to customers/clients who are open-minded and simply wish to 'stand out', based on drawings and blueprints that we have prepared ourselves and keep ready for such occasions. In 2018, we are expecting more of the same. The main purpose of our ready-to-wear collections is to build the strength of the brand and to cater for those that wish to buy into the brand but are not yet at a stage at which they would consider 'made-to-measure'. Eventually, we would like to offer bespoke clothing exclusively, which will tie in more smoothly with the 'tech' side of the business, through which we are building an app aimed at connecting brands and businesses with the network of creatives that we are curating from across the African continent. The idea is that we will be able to connect customers with our tailors, whilst connecting brands and businesses with our network of creatives. In the meantime, whilst we are still offering ready-to-wear, having stocked in a few pop-up stores, we would like to stock our clothing as a concession in a larger store in order to really test the market.
Hi @eison - on the business side, it is that all of our products are handmade in Africa. By collaborating with these tailors we are helping to provide them with extra trade and business. These tailors are doing well in their respective markets and by producing a collective of these highly skilled tailors, we are expanding their market and are also helping to present Africa in a different light. We take this one step further on the 'creatives' side - by shining the spotlight on these people on the ground, we are positioning ourselves as the go-to people for creatives based on the continent. Whether you would like to purchase a suit from our tailor in Zambia, or to be put in touch with a photographer in Ethiopia or a make-up artist in South Africa, MIA (Made in Africa) would be the people to come to. On the product side, through our unisex products, we have taken into account more measurements than usual to engineer what we believe to be a more universal fit, in particular addressing the trade-off between a proper waist fit and appropriate thigh room that many people (men especially) suffer in respect of trousers. Happy to go into the product USP in more detail.
Hi @delwilliams - for inbound delivery, we use DHL as we have good relationships with them on the ground in South Africa and Zambia - this is reflected within the price of the goods and within the price agreed with each tailor. For us, DHL represents the best balance between value for money, reliability and quality of delivery service. Given our mid-to-high end market positioning, these things are important to us. For ready-to-wear outbound UK delivery, the cost of delivery is generally included within the price paid by the customer. For deliveries outside of the UK, we will notify the potential customer of the additional cost and ask them to confirm that they are happy for the costs to be included in the price that they will be required to pay. For made-to-measure delivery, given that the margin is higher, we will cover the cost of any outbound delivery in almost all cases, as well as any additional costs that may arise if further substantive revisions to products are required to be made following fittings and/or products need to be send back to our tailors. | 2019-04-23T16:20:45 | https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mia-ldn |

‘Here’ it is; David busts out his review of the new Alicia Keys album for your Monday morning’s reading pleasure.
Over the 15 years, Alicia Keys has become a veteran performer and artist; she has broad appeal and a penchant for catchy hooks and empowering anthems.
In the past couple of years, she has become a massive advocate around keeping it real. She’s made a bit of a stir by turning up to appearances and red carpet events au naturel – makeupless. She is stunning as her true self and this new found strength has been brought to life on her new album ‘Here’.
Keys’ sixth studio album is more gritty and raw, but it feels authentically Alicia. I love it when an artist has the ability to express themselves in a fairly pure way. It comes out in her voice in the delivery of several tracks. That being said, I feel like in order to be true to herself, she’s sacrificed some of those radio friendly anthems.
Lead single ‘In Common’ is amongst the best on offer here. Appearing live on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ in the lead up to the album’s release, she delivered a flawless performance. Add to the fact Tiësto created a stunning remix… it was a great launchpad for the album.
Second single ‘Blended Family’ is also quite a special track. With a message relating to her hubby’s previous relationship/family, it’s so authentic and oozes love and adoration. It’s a great modern love song of a different kind.
I also have some serious respect for Alicia on ‘Girl Can’t Be Herself’ as she preaches about the unrealistic expectations of the modern woman. I don’t have a first hand understanding of what it’s like, but I appreciate everything she has to say. It’s a powerful message to share and I love that she’s taken the opportunity to do so.
Where ‘Here’ falls flat for me is the entire first half of the album. As much as I’d love for Alicia and her band to come around for a jam session, it’s not how I want to spend my time listening to music on a regular basis. A lot of the tracks retain that raw feel but just don’t connect with the listener. Some of the songs remind me of Lauryn Hill’s second album (the MTV Unplugged album) with the messages being almost too political.
‘Illusion Of Bliss’ is almost unlistenable. Alicia sounds so pained that it’s actually uncomfortable to listen to. I have major respect for her putting her heart out there, but this track, and a few others, ought to have remained on the shelf. They are artistic explorations best used as a part of the creative process.
Alicia Keys is an iconic performer and extraordinarily talented musician. ‘Here’ seemingly releases a lot of tension and feels like she is feeling more free than ever.
MUST LISTEN : Blended Family, In Common, Girl Can’t Be Herself, More Than We Know. | 2019-04-24T05:50:36 | https://www.auspop.com.au/2016/11/here-davids-alicia-keys-album-review/ |

… Professor Christoph Geiss went to scenic Iowa – western Iowa to be precise. Christoph spent a long weekend at Hitchcock Nature Center in Honey Creek, Iowa.
Now, that’s a sky worth traveling for.
While many of you got roasted on the beach, Christoph took his field training to study wildfires and become a wildland firefighter. The training started out pretty benign. The class learned about equipment (expensive!), life on the fireline and in fire camp (dirty – no showers for a week), and how to use the various hand tools. The highlight of the morning was a fire shelter exercise: Christoph and his fellow firefighter rookies had exactly 30 seconds to unpack a fire shelter, climb into it and drop to the ground (feet to the assumed fire). The exercise was fun, the re-folding of the practice shelters less so. They seemed to get bigger after every drill.
Yep, that’s the class under practice fire shelters. The real thing is made of some space-age fiberglass-aluminum composite, weighs a ton and costs even more. We were only allowed to play with the practice version. The guy in the flannel shirt shakes every shelter to simulate the fierce winds to be expected during a fire storm.
The afternoon was spent on fire fighting tactics and safety (Always keep an eye out for your safety zone and establish a solid anchor point!). The class also got to spray some water as they learned about the ins- and outs of fire engines, hose lays and various nozzles.
This thing beats any Super-Soaker! It empties a 400 gal water tank in less than 10 minutes.
All lined up to fight some fires.
The highlight of the afternoon came after a short hike (in formation, spaced 10 ft apart, tool held on the side at the balance point on the (non-existing) downhill side – no swinging, hacking or stabbing allowed) to a nearby tallgrass prairie. The big bluestem burned quite nicely and provided just enough excitement.
Chad Graeve, the instructor points out the finer points of a grass fire.
The group practiced on several small fires. It took the instructors maybe a minute to extinguish theirs, the class was, well, not quite as practiced, but after a few (very) hot hours everybody had three little grass fires under their belts, and knew how to “enter the fire from the heel”, work “from the black”, and learned that a simple backpack pump can do wonders, but that even 4-ft flames put out quite a bit of heat.
A rookie crew at work.
The final fire of the day.
One of Christoph’s sampling sites.
Invasive plants: good, bad or just ugly?
Invasive plants are thought to cause many negative ecological impacts, but new research suggests that they may also play beneficial roles. The problem is that we know little about how the properties of individual invasive species or groups of them might drive those impacts. Our research focuses on this problem, and uses a nature preserve near Mystic, CT to study whether invasive plants are as problematic as advertised, or rather are just misunderstood.
Refreshments will be available after the talk.
Fossilized remains of one of the earliest (THE earliest ?) feathered dinosaurs. Shreds of Joan’s field pants clearly visible around bones from the left leg.
… just because you haven’t heard much from us recently does not mean we haven’t been busy for the last months. The two biggest news first: Joan Morrison will enter phased retirement soon (technically she is already in phased retirement, but I try to ignore that as much as possible) and Christoph Geiss was promoted to petrified wood (aka full professor). We have since requested to hire a new conservation biologist and hope to hire a new colleague next year.
Evolution of tenure track faculty. Left: green wood, center: dead wood, right: petrified wood. Christoph has now proudly reached the petrified wood stage.
Our students are busy on several research projects. Christoph Geiss’ students are analyzing sediments from Otsego Lake in upstate New York and a salt marsh at Hammonasset State Park. The salt marsh sediments are probably the smelliest sediments ever cored, and they are stinking up the cold room as we speak. A GPR survey conducted this February yielded – absolute nothing. The salty pore fluids, combined with highly conductive clays ate the radar signal withing a few inches of the surface. Good day to work on our tan, though!
Cameron Douglass’ students are busy analyzing soils and invasive plants at a conservation area near Mystic, and we will erect a few interpretative signs at that introduce visitors to the various ecosystems encountered at the site.
Jon Gorley’s students are still crunching the soils data numbers from their sites in the White Mountains. | 2019-04-22T08:26:50 | https://commons.trincoll.edu/envs/2015/03/ |

Rushmore Road Glide Mount features an adjustable base for customizing the device angle to fit each riders angle preference as well as the universal AMPS 4-hole mounting pattern, two bolt channels for 2-hole mounted device cradles, a center hole making it compatible with nearly any device cradle.
If you have a smartphone other than an iPhone or use an iPhone protective case, we recommend purchasing your device cradle from SlipGrip Car Mounts. While on their website, simply select the type of device used, protective case (if any) and it will provide a list of available cradle options. For use with an Iron Aces Mount, you will select one that does not have any brackets attached to it. Please contact us if you are unsure exactly what you need to purchase from SlipGrip, we are glad to help!
This mount is everything they say it is plus! Fits great. Holds great. Looks awesome. I used the Xgrip holder and it holds the phone good and keeps everything right in front of you. While I didnt require assistance from customer service I can say their follow up on my satisfaction is something you dont see that often anymore. I highly reccomend this company and their products.
The New Iron Aces Rushmore Mount is the second mount I have purchased from Iron Aces and couldn’t be happier.
Lindsey is always a pleasure to deal with. I have a 2012 Roadglide Custom with a Big Baller Speedo Tach Housing and my previous Mount would not work.
I took a chance with the new Rushmore Mount. It arrived very quickly and was very well packaged as Usual.
With a little customizing I was able to get it to mount to my aftermarket housing with no problems.
I was so pleased with it that I took some photos and emailed them to Lindsey to let her know how I made it work and how pleased I am with it.
I would have been lost, no pun intended, without my Garmin Road Tech 665 in front of me.
A Big Thank You to Lindsey and Everyone at Iron Aces for manufacturing One of The Best Mounts for a Roadglide.
I ordered my Road Glide mount in order to hold my Power Vision Tuner in a comfortable place to view ( no obstructed view of gauges or radio ) and off the bars ( too much vibration ).
When I received mount, it was well packaged and top quality craftsmanship was over the top! After mounting ( directions were SPOT-ON) I realized it had a bit more potential.
I added a 17mm AMPS ball mount plate to it to give it more options. I took my MotoXtek Gripper and mounted it to the 17mm ball.
Now I can use it for my tuner when I need to… it holds my Note4 in perfect sight for when using as a remote control for my GoPro for road videos…. iPod… or whatever else you want to mount on it with ease.
BIG THANKS to Iron Aces and Lindsey! Top notch product and superior Customer Service!
Very easy install tape is outstanding very easy assembly mounts on bessal of gauges clear view does not interfere with radio on 2015 Road Glide I used the mount for a Garmin GPS . Also when order deliver was very quick .
Owned prior mount for Road Glide 2013 and loved it! No problem ordering the new one for my RG15. Since I installed this mount it has done its job, but there are two things that concern me. One, is a potential problem of the adhesive not working over the long haul. So far I am happy to report that even in smoldering hot weather during Sturgis and direct sun exposure, there is no indication of loss of adhesion! The second is one that is obvious at quick glance and that is the vibration with iPhone 6 plus mounted. No damage to iPhone but a lot of shaking can’t be a good thing. Other than that it just works! It could be the type of mount, I use quadlock case from ANNEX and the bike mount application so that it mounts easily and securely with minimalist look.
If you are looking for the perfect mount for your Road Glide, this is it. The build quality, as well as the fit and finish, are outstanding.
Great product to mount a Zumo Gps, Superb design and craftsmanship. Does not vibrate like other handelbar mounts. | 2019-04-22T15:08:01 | https://www.ironacesspeedshop.com/product/rushmore-road-glide-mount-harley-davidson/ |
Melbourne-based strategic designers Thick teamed up with KeepCup to answer a lot of the unearthed questions floating around: Are reusable cups really better? What about compostable cups? Isn’t paper better for the earth?Eventually, after countless co-creation and workshop sessions with users, designers, and industry professionals, the team came up with The Paper vs Plastic Shakedown, pitting KeepCup head-to-head with disposable cups in a clean, interactive, user-friendly interface that would clarify urban myths about paper production, recycling, and waste management.
You’ve probably heard of KeepCup. It’s the eco-cup that has become a sustainable yet stylish solution to coffee on the go. KeepCup’s owners, siblings Abi and Jamie Forsyth, are passionate about reducing waste. As cafe owners they were exposed first-hand to the number of take-away coffee cups being thrown in the bin. Ergo, KeepCup. Fast forward four years–today they’re shipping to 32 countries and have offices in Australia, the UK, and the US. These days, it’s rare to not spot a KeepCup everywhere you look, and that’s great, the eco-cup has proven to be a loved addition to the lifestyles of coffee-lovers, and best of all, people actually use it. That’s all fine and dandy, however there was a catch. Despite the handfuls of KeepCuppers who use the eco-cup because it’s “good for the environment”, as irony would have it, when asked how the cup actually makes an environmental impact, the majority of these users were at a loss. Even more concerning was the fact that a lot of urban myths surrounding paper and plastic were being let to be indulged. Something had to be done. Someone had to school the masses.

On The Paper vs Plastic Shakedown mini-site, users are taken through a series of questions that they could explore and share, eventually arriving at a call to action to “join the reuse revolution”. Facts can be tedious, and often get lost in translation, so creating an avenue where facts can be intuitively absorbed and used in conversation is the first step to creating impact.

Policy states that the response time must be sufficient to allow interested vendors a reasonable opportunity to compete (see Core Policy and Procedures Manual, section 6.3.2.a.8). But what does “sufficient” mean?
The following table provides some general guidance on how long opportunities should be posted where the value of the opportunity is under the threshold of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (the "WTO-GPA"); however; ministries may have developed internal policies or practices that recommend different posting periods for their specific requirements. Refer to the applicable ministry's links provided at the right before relying on the information contained on this page.
If unsure about a planned timeline for a specific solicitation, contact the ministry's Procurement Specialist or the Procurement Services Branch.
Refer to Select a Solicitation Process and Template Guidelines for more information about when to use each of these solicitation types.
30 business days (i.e. 6 weeks) if site viewing is required.
Non-construction services: Varies, can be as low as 10 business days (i.e. 2 weeks), depending on the project.
With respect to any opportunity that falls within the scope of the WTO-GPA, applicable timeframes should be calculated in accordance with provisions set out in this agreement. Longer posting periods (i.e. up to 40 calendar days) may apply.
In addition, times may vary depending on requirements, complexity and trade agreement thresholds. The Province's obligations pursuant to trade agreements may be updated and supplemented from time to time. A current list of trade agreements applicable to the Province may be found here. Where an opportunity falls within scope of one or more trade agreements, ministries should review any timeframes set out in the applicable agreements.
A shorter posting period may result in the perception that the Province already knows who is going to be successful in the competition. Some vendors may also choose not to participate, given the allotted time.
Bidders / proponents / respondents will be challenged to write a quality submission as they will not have sufficient time to review, edit and double-check their work. This may result in submissions that contain errors and/or are unclear, which in turn can create difficulties for evaluations. For those awards made to the highest scoring submission, it can take as much as three times longer to evaluate an unclear submission compared to one that is well-written; therefore, any time saved in a shorter posting period may need to be allocated to additional evaluation time.
Given the lack of time that bidders / proponents / respondents have to complete their submissions, there is a higher risk that no submission will meet all mandatory requirements, specifications (if applicable) and minimum scores (if applicable). If this happens, the solicitation process may result in no submissions being received or submissions not meeting the requirements. In this case, other solicitation methods would need to be considered, including redrafting the solicitation document and reposting. Therefore, the time spent on the original solicitation was wasted for the ministry and the bidders / proponents / respondents.
If a bidder / proponent meets all mandatory requirements, specifications (if applicable) and minimum scores (if applicable), the resulting contract or purchase order (PO) award will be based on a submission that may have errors due to the lack of time for quality checks. Remember that most solicitation processes do not allow for material changes between the successful submission and the final contract or PO; therefore, it is possible that the final contract or PO will contain the errors from the submission, which may cause difficulties for the term of the contract or PO.
Some trade agreements have minimum timeframes required for posting an opportunity. If one or more trade agreements apply, a shorter timeframe may result in non-compliance.
For these reasons, ministries are encouraged to give as much time as possible to vendors for developing their submissions. Ministries can consider longer time frames than the guidance provided in the table above, particularly if some of the vendors expecting to participate may be inexperienced with competitive processes, or if the posting period includes a statutory holiday or is during a high vacation period (i.e. July, August, late December). | 2019-04-19T03:14:35 | https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/services-for-government/bc-bid-resources/how-to-buy-services/procurement-process/pre-award/prepare-solicitation-documents/sufficient-time-posting-guidelines |

What insurance do you need for your tiny home in Illinois?
Outside of the city limits of Chicago, where tiny houses are banned, most tiny houses fall into a type of gray area. Municipalities of the state are responsible for regulating tiny houses, but many of them don’t have official rules on tiny houses.
Since the tiny house movement is relatively new, it is something that states like Illinois are working to catch up with.
People who live in tiny houses have to deal with various issues that may cause problems for them, but as long as they try to keep their tiny houses as legal as possible, they have a chance to overcome and make tiny house regulations better defined.
Use our FREE quote tool to compare insurance today!
One thing all tiny house owners should do to help themselves with their tiny houses in Illinois is insuring them.
By taking out insurance policies on the tiny house, owners can protect their house if something happens to it.
Insurance policies can cover construction, accidents while towing and even damage as a result of a natural disaster while the house is parked.
Covering your tiny house during the construction phase will help protect you from liability and can give you peace of mind for the materials you are using.
You can find the best construction coverage by shopping around to get quotes from various agents.
If you are planning on building your tiny house, you may be thinking of hiring a builder.
In addition to the benefit of having a professionally built house, you will be able to have insurance that covers anything that could happen to your tiny house during the building process.
Illinois requires builders to be registered and licensed. Part of the licensing process is to obtain insurance so a reputable builder will always have insurance.
RVIA builders are also beneficial because they can create a tiny house that is actually an RV. There are many benefits that come with having an RV instead of just an uncertified tiny house.
Since you may be trying to save money by living in a tiny house, one thing you can do to save a lot of money is doing the construction yourself.
While this is a good idea to save money upfront, you will need to consider the additional costs that come along with building the house.
In addition to purchasing plans to build, the materials and permits, you will also need to buy an insurance policy.
An insurance policy for the construction of your tiny house should include liability in case something happens to someone on your property and coverage for the expensive materials you’re using.
Illinois allows tiny houses to be in campgrounds, mobile home parks, and private properties. Aside from that, the county has jurisdiction over where you can take your tiny house.
It is important that your tiny house is insured so you are protected while on the road with it.
Consider how often you will be on the road and what type of coverage you’ll need to account for the unexpected things that might happen to your tiny house.
The insurance you’re able to get for your tiny house will depend on the way your home was built and the regulations it meets in the area you’re in. If you are going to use your tiny house to travel often, you may consider a policy that covers more.
You may be able to get an RV policy for your tiny house if you had it built as an RVIA-certified home. You will need to prove that it is an RV, so make sure you get documentation from the builder you used.
An RV policy can help you save money, can give you more coverage, and will be seen as a more legitimate option.
You can still be covered if you did not choose to use an RVIA builder. You will simply need to get an endorsement on your insurance policy. This endorsement will cover cargo and anything you are towing. It is what will cover your tiny house.
At the minimum, you will need to have liability for towing, but having a collision policy will help protect your tiny house if it is damaged during an accident.
You will need to cover your tow vehicle in Illinois if you want to tow your tiny house. The tow vehicle just needs the state minimum liability which is up to $50,000 per incident for bodily injury and $20,000 for property damage.
A liability policy will not help you if you are in an accident, though, because it won’t cover any of the damages to your own vehicle.
Keep in mind you will need to expand your coverage beyond the state minimum to get the most protection possible.
Even though you cannot leave your tiny house parked permanently in Chicago, there are some areas of Illinois that may allow you to park under certain circumstances.
Aside from this, your tiny house will probably be parking in RV parks, mobile home parks and rented areas of land.
If you have your own land, you may want to check with your local government on whether or not it is legal to park your tiny house on the land.
You may need to meet certain requirements to be able to do this, but it is worth checking into because staying on your own land can help save money.
If you do find that you are allowed to legally live on the land in your tiny house, you will need a homeowner’s policy. The policy may only cover the land and liability while people are on your land, but it will protect you.
Renter’s insurance policies are slightly different in that they follow you where you go instead of staying in one location. You can use renter’s insurance for your tiny house when you are parked in different areas around Illinois.
The coverage will protect you from fire, theft or damage to your personal belongings, but will not cover the actual tiny house.
Racking up savings on insurance for your tiny house is all about knowing how to bundle.
Since Illinois does not limit the insurance you can bundle, talk with insurance agents to find out who can bundle your policies together. Tiny house living is all about saving money, right? | 2019-04-23T14:54:30 | https://www.carinsurancecomparison.com/what-tiny-home-coverage-do-you-need-in-illinois |

I was on my way to the office in the morning, passing through the tunnel that connects the subway station with the University, when I heard from the distance a busker play an instrument that sounded a lot like cello, but not quite.
"No, that can't be," I thought to myself, "I can't be that lucky!"
I walked on, and the sound became more distinct. Clearly there was no vibrato; could it be a viola da gamba - in Helsinki, late in the autumn, when most leaves are fallen, and most tourists have left the city already?
Finally I was close enough to see the young man playing the beautiful ancient-looking instrument.
It really was a gamba.
That tunnel is as ugly as they come, but the acoustics are surprisingly good.
When he played, it sounded as if we had been in a cathedral.
And he was remarkably talented.
I was in a hurry, so I couldn't stay for a long time, unfortunately. But it was like a peek into a different era, a different place without any hurry.
That feeling has accompanied me throughout this day.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Robert Rawson, who has been interim dean of the Case Western Reserve University law school since the former dean stepped down, will remain in that role until mid-2011.
Rawson, 65, has asked that his title remain interim dean. The university has called off its search for a new dean and will resume the search next summer. Former Dean Gary Simson served as dean from July 2006 through December 2008.
Rawson did not want to be considered for the permanent job, but agreed to a longer interim commitment.
"It gives me some more running room to continue some projects," Rawson said Monday. Specifically, he'll help with some goals of a strategic plan for the law school approved by the faculty in September.
High on that list are plans to raise more money for scholarships. He also wants to boost the school's career services section, which helps recent graduates struggling to navigate the tough job market.
Rawson, who was partner-in-charge of the Cleveland office of Jones Day until 2007, remains a partner at that firm. He is also a trustee of Cleveland State University.
"I'm juggling some balls, but what I say to people is that at least they're not eggs," he said. "So I can bounce one occasionally without doing too much." | 2019-04-25T22:14:47 | http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/10/robert_rawson_extends_role_as.html |

Home | Wire | Doesn't Mexico Have Building Codes?
Doesn't Mexico Have Building Codes?
During the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake in Los Angeles, my mother was working in downtown Los Angeles in one of the buildings then known as the Arco Towers.
The building was of early 1970s vintage, but thanks to expensive technology introduced to help high-rises withstand earthquakes, the Arco Towers merely swayed from side to side, rather than collapse in response to the quake. That earthquake was a medium-sized earthquake (to use casual terminology), but the building is designed to withstand far larger tremors. Eight people died in the wake of the quake.
Two years earlier, the 1985 Mexico City earthquake struck with devastating results. While the earthquake was considerably stronger, the casualty totals were far beyond what we would expect were a similar quake to hit Los Angeles. While the number is still in dispute today, more than 30,000 people may have died in the quake, thanks largely to collapsed buildings.
Fortunately, the death toll in Tuesday's Mexico-City quake looks to be much, much smaller than was the case in 1985. So far, casualty counts number in the low hundreds.
Mexico City’s building codes improved dramatically in the years following the city’s 1985 earthquake, a magnitude 8.1 temblor that killed more than 6,000 and toppled nearly 2,300 buildings, including hospitals, schools, hotels and entire high-rise apartment blocks.
But why was Mexico still building earthquake-prone construction in the 1970s? By the mid-80s, California had already been at work addressing the earthquake issue for years.
Why didn't Mexican cities pass better building code laws before then?
So, for nearly 30 years leading up to the 1985 quake, new, improved building codes had been in place. but it seems that — as one Mexico City engineer described it — enforcement was "very lax."
In most cases, people don't ignore building codes because they're sociopaths who don't care about the safety of their customers.
Thanks to the existence of greed, of course, there's always the temptation to skimp on safety in order to pad profits, and just hope things work out. But in wealthy nations, there are numerous incentives beyond government regulation to not do this: (1) insurance companies may refuse to insure structures that are of questionable safety, and (2) there are well-developed legal systems that facilitate lawsuits against negligent builders.
But perhaps most importantly: consumers of housing and office space in wealthy countries can more often afford to pay for units in buildings where expensive retrofits and safety features have been added. In poor countries, by contrast, consumers are far less likely to be able to afford buildings constructed to specifications that would be considered run-of-the-mill in wealthier areas. Given that producers can only set prices at levels their customers can afford to pay, builders will build accordingly.
The end result is that in wealthy areas, paying close attention to code regulations may shave some profitability off a building project. But in a poor country — as Block correctly suggests — rigid enforcement is more likely to totally erase profitability, and prevent new construction from being built at all. On other words, the opportunity cost of building a modern, earthquake-proof building in a poor country is much higher.
As Stephens points out: "Every child knows that houses of brick are safer than houses of wood or straw — and therefore cost more to build." Mexicans — of course — are already well aware that the ideal solution is to produce high quality housing for everyone. The problem is that sort of thing is expensive.
Unfortunately, the answer to this conundrum is the same as with building to withstand hurricanes and other natural disasters: bulding wealth is the only true long term solution.
City councils can pass building code laws all day long, but as long as residents lacks the incomes necessary to afford housing, offices, and factory space that's built to withstand earthquakes, there will always be an especially large incentive to cut corners on construction. Innocent people will suffer as a result. | 2019-04-22T17:00:30 | https://mises.org/wire/doesnt-mexico-have-building-codes |

Which Lightweight Running Shoe is Best For You ?
The asics gel kayano 21 was updated from the previous model kayano 20 ,this shoes has a well cushion stability designed for a mild to moderate / perimeters it has to.
Maine State features that the kayano of 21 kept from the kayano 20 which is the stability system ,the dynamic duo max and also the fluid fit in the upper which gives the form fitting wrap around the mid-foot.
one of the biggest updates to the kayano 21 is a reduction in weight we weighted the men’s size 9 at 11.3 ounces and in the women’s model which comes with gender specific cushioning we weighted in 9 ounces making both shoes the lightest kayanos yet .another minor update to this shoe was the redesign crash pad providing a smooth transition from the heel to the mid-foot and slowing the rate of pronation.
so how the shoe fit for me if it’s true to size I’ve always been a size 11 in the kind of series this is no different likewise it does have a form-fitting appeal to it due in large part to the fluid fit in the upper which gives a good wrap around the foot but also sought the toe box was a little wider in this model so for the kind of 21 it felt a little more like the kind of 19. last model of kayano 20 felt a little more narrow and forefoot.
things we liked about this shoe and the responsiveness of this model compared to previous models actually chose this for my racing shoe a cross the bay this past weekend also i really enjoyed the cushioning in this model a more gel in the heel and the forefoot.
we liked that it was definitely softer than the kayano 20 added GEl units and heal and the forefoot made this and even softer ride them for which I thought was fantastic the wider toe box i thought was a lot better i like some room for my toes display little bit with each stride so this was better than the kayano 20 in that regard and likewise I felt it was more supportive in the arch as a runner with low arches the more arch support I can get a stability shoe, the better.
See Also: if you care about your hair health and want to know what shampoo to buy in the future see the 10 best shampoos for women list which reviews the lists best shampoos for men.
some things we’d like to see improved is the weight of the shoe on that front of the Condor 21 is technically lighter than the previous model I’d like to see it be more on par with other stability shoes in the market however if you’re looking for a well cushioned ride it’s hard to beat this .also I’d like to see some more seamless features in the upper to reduce irritation the asics gel kayano 21 is one of the best running shoes for men and women that you can find out there for a excellent price and over 1700 positive reviews at amazon .

I recently finished reading Everything is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger. It wasn’t as insightful as I had hoped; but the main reason I read it is because it mentions Endeca (the software company I worked at this summer).
The main point was that categorizations, taxonomies, groupings, clusterings (whatever you want to call them) can increasingly be designed for any particular purpose. This is in contrast with the “one-size-fits-all” approach of the past (physical stores, dewey decimal system, database columns). I put the emphasis on design because designing an ordering system has the same essential properties as designing anything else. What’s really cool is when the ordering system can be designed automatically, on the fly, in response to user input — e.g. faceted browsing.

I was chatting with Rajiv today about politics and history and economics and came up with an interesting analogy.
We were talking about how monarchs can really do amazing things for a country if they’re good, but if they’re not good or just crazy they can really screw things up. In a democracy, by contrast, the people have the power but don’t necessarily know what they really want or how to get it done; things have to be voted on; nothing radical tends to happen.
So basically, democracy is like a mutual fund – low risk, medium return. Monarchy is more like an individual stock – more risky but with the potential for much higher returns. Democracies stick around while monarchies eventually get wiped out by a string of too many bad leaders.
