The word “albinism” refers to a group of inherited conditions. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism. Albinism affects people from all races. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backgrounds. Sometimes people do not recognize that they have albinism. A common myth is that people with albinism have red eyes. In fact there are different types of albinism and the amount of pigment in the eyes varies. Although some individuals with albinism have reddish or violet eyes, most have blue eyes. Some have hazel or brown eyes. However, all forms of albinism are associated with vision problems.

"Below the poverty line" was how Janina described the earlier years of her life. Born in a family of survivors, she turned those circumstances into her advantage and built herself a better life.
Before she stepped into college, she already had a forte in doing business. Armed with competitiveness and entrepreneurship, she and her family ventured on selling different food such as sweet corn and homemade ice cream sticks. Janina’s background in trade urged her to take a course in business administration, so she can move on to a bigger business.
She found herself enrolling at STI College - Novaliches where she got in to the school's scholarship program. Despite the good education her school provided her, she knew better to rely on her diligence more than anything.
Janina was the President of the Entrepreneurs Society, a school organization dedicated to STIers with aspirations in the business industry. Valuing leadership and mutual support among the members, she shares that "before you become a good leader, you have to be a good follower." It was with this mantra that led her to do better in her duties as a leader which in turn developed her assertive character. Her active participation in extra-curricular activities and the hardwork she poured in her studies were rewarded with the Student of the Year Award 2011 for North Luzon, recognizing her as one of the best STIers in the country.
After finally graduating in 2011, she started her career in the business world as a Sales Consultant at Rex Printing Company, Inc. before she worked for STI Head Office as a Content Developer. Not long after, she continued on with her journey and started working at SM Supermalls as a Leasing Supervisor at a young age of 23, an event that opened a whole new chapter in her life, one of the things she remains grateful for.
"We won’t know what God has in store for us until we try. We came from a very poor family, but it didn’t stop us from finishing school," says Janina."I’m dreaming of becoming a manager someday, pero hindi ko iniisip na magiging supervisor ako agad in a matter of two years. It was a blessing from God to get where I am right now, at talagang ginamit niya ang STI para i-develop ako, at para i-develop yung potentials ko."
Janina is presently enjoying the real meaning of success; a better life. Looking back to where she came from, Janina is confident to say that she has reached further than she expected because she always dreams big. She endured, persevered, and held on to her strong faith that pushed her to go on in fulfilling the big plans she has for herself and her family. Now, that she is in a better place from where she started, Janina strives to push further and move higher. Indeed, Janina is living proof that nothing is impossible when it comes to reaching one's dreams, no matter how long it takes to get there, if you just dream big. | 2019-04-23T08:06:18 | https://www.alumni.sti.edu/alumni_feature_details.aspx?id=14 |

Many factors can lead to attachment and trauma difficulties, such as social neglect or deprivation, repeated changes of primary caregivers, living in areas of social and economic deprivation, trauma experienced as a result of conflict or by refugees, and the early experiences of adopted children continuing to affect their lives.
The course draws on the work and attachment-informed practice of Yarrame School in Melbourne, and builds on the model of attachment training and research carried out by Bath Spa University. It looks at the impact attachment and trauma difficulties can have on a learner’s life. It shows how you can make your classroom and practice more inclusive for these learners and offers practical assessment ideas and intervention strategies.
“I strongly believe in the value of attachment theory and think it has significant application for us as educators. It has the capacity to help teachers better understand their students, be more attuned to their needs, respond to them more appropriately, be more empathic, interpret their behaviour with more accuracy and plan and develop better supports for them. If teachers can better understand their students and meet their needs, they will be supporting the student in their social, emotional, behavioural and cognitive growth and facilitating greater access to the curriculum. Forming positive, supportive relationships can assist students to develop the capacity for establishing secure attachments and have significant lasting impacts in their lives. | 2019-04-23T20:55:58 | https://www.oltinternational.net/attachment-and-trauma |
8/06/2009 · If there is wet insulation behind the wall, the sheetrock is just the tip of the mold iceberg. You could cut a small square out of the sheetrock, in a place where you can patch it up again, and see/feel/smell the inside of the wall.... A moisture meter is an essential instrument used in many industries to detect moisture content in materials. Home and building inspectors rely on moisture meters to identify potential problems and damage to structures from moisture buildup.
24/09/2018 · A moisture meter is a piece of equipment which, when placed directly against a wall, will analyze the moisture content of that wall. If you know that you have a leak within a certain wall, but are unaware of the precise location, place the moisture meter at 5 or 6 different spots on the wall. Whichever spot gives the highest moisture reading is closest to the leak.
Water Damage in an Old House How Do You Find It?
Detect A Leak can detect all type of shower leaks in your property. Some leak prone areas are pipes in the wall, around the taps and the area where glass meets the wall. Some leak prone areas are pipes in the wall, around the taps and the area where glass meets the wall.
Totally baffled, I decided to use a moisture detector and do some detective work.

Havin' flashbacks, where yo' past at?
“Unemployed” is the fifth weekly single released by Tierra Whack since the release of “Only Child” on February 19, 2019 as part of a series labeled #whackhistorymonth. It was also announced on Instagram.
The track is generally confrontational and self-affirming against those that Tierra may classify as her enemies.
The official music video for the song has been uploaded on April 10, 2019 on YouTube, after it had been officially previewed on Cartoon Network, during an episode of the series “Samurai Jack”: it is really reminiscent of the strange and sometimes nightmarish clip for the Whack World project, and it features Tierra as a cook (or, better saying, a “potato murderer”) for… two giant and alive potatoes! | 2019-04-20T21:01:45 | https://genius.com/Tierra-whack-unemployed-lyrics |

It is my sorrowful task to have to show you that this great sin is very common among three classes of persons. First, it is very common for the ungodly to fall into this error. And thirdly, even the children of God are not always free from this error.
God is very long-suffering to men–this is not the place of judgment. Sinners are not, as a general rule, punished here. Their sentence is reserved until the Day of Judgment. Some people regard every accident as a judgment, but we do not agree with them at all, otherwise we would have to very frequently condemn the innocent. Our Lord has very expressly told us that those upon whom the tower in Siloam fell were not greater sinners than the rest of those who dwelt in Jerusalem at that time. And that the Galileans whom Pilate slew and whose blood he mingled with their sacrifices, were no worse than the other Galileans who went up to the Temple and came away unharmed. [See Sermon #408, Volume 7–ACCIDENTS, NOT PUNISHMENTS, a copy of which Dr. Livingstone carried during his African travels, and on which he wrote, “Very good. D. L.”–Read/download the entire sermon, free of charge, at .] God does sometimes startle the world with His judgments, but not often.This is not the time of judgment–judgment is yet to come. The objective of God in thus keeping His sword sheathed when, oftentimes, we are inclined to think that it might fairly be drawn and used, is to lead those who are thus spared to repentance and salvation. “I will spare them yet a little while longer,” says the long-suffering Lord. And so the trees that only cumber the ground are not hewn down–and the inference that wicked men draw is not that God wishes them to repent and turn to Him–but that He is like themselves.
Wicked men imagine that God is like themselves in the following ways. First, in an insensibility to moral emotion.They do not care whether a thing is right or wrong. To have done right gives them no joy. To have done wrong gives their hardened hearts no pain. Some of them can curse and blaspheme–the words that make a child of God shudder with horror seem to be their usual language. In fact, you cannot now stand in our streets, where there are two or three working men, without hearing such filthy language, much of it utterly unmeaning, that you wonder how their companions can endure it! Yet none of them seem to mind it and they will commit deeds which it would be wrong for me to mention, but when they have committed them, they seem to forget all about them. And they suppose because God does not strike them dead, or punish them immediately for their transgressions, that He is just as impervious to moral emotion as they are–that He never grows angry at sin and that He takes no delight whatever in excellence! How grossly do they mistake God in this supposition! He feels sin most sensitively. To Him it is “exceedingly sinful.” It touches the very apple of His eye. It grieves Him at the heart. It vexes His Holy Spirit. Yet the ungodly think not so.
They also are utterly careless about how they perform their own duties in relation to God and they suppose that Godis equally careless as to the discharge of the office which He sustains. If these ungodly men were made judges, they would neither fear God nor regard man–and they suppose that God, the Judge of All, has no respect for His own moral government, no care for the vindication of His Law–that He lets things go just as they please and will not interfere with men, but will let them act as they like. If they are servants, they are only eye-servants and are not careful to do that which is right. If they are masters, they seek only to do the best they can for themselves. The mass of mankind seldom look round to see the general bearings of a question–they only enquire, “How will this affect me?” Each man joins that party in politics, or that particular club, or goes in for the defense of that particular Act of Parliament which he regards as most likely to advance his own interests. As to the general equity of the whole concern, only a few eclectic spirits will be found who will consider that! And that God should always be a God of equity, that He should look into the motives of men’s actions and especially that He should punish every sinful action, word, thought and act with the utmost scrupulousness as a Judge–all this ungodly men do not understand! They think that God is as loose and lax as they are, that He plays battledore and shuttlecock with moralities and will let men do just as they like, never calling them to account. At least they seem to think that if there should be any account to be rendered to God at the last, it will be a very small matter which will soon be over–and that there is for them no everlasting punishment, no dreadful terrors of the wrath to come!
Ungodly men also seem to imagine that God, like themselves, is easily deceived by appearances. They go to church orto chapel and they seem to think that by doing so, they have wiped off all their old scores. What if they have broken God’s Law in different ways for many years? Have they not been to hear a sermon? Have they not even been to a Prayer Meeting? Have they not repeated, night and morning, a prayer that their mother taught them when they were children? As for sin, they regard that as a small matter. When they are about to die, they can send for some good man to pray with them and so everything can easily be made all right. That is their notion. Ah, but God is not deceived by outward appearances–He looks at the heart and requires that there should be in the heart, purity, a love for the right and a hatred for the wrong, and these beings are never in the heart apart from the new birth which is always accompanied by faith in Jesus Christ!
We have known some go to the length of thinking, or pretending to think, that God was an accomplice in their sins.Because He sat still and did not at once interfere and smite them, they have said, after the commission of a certain sinful action, that Providence seemed to have put them in circumstances where it was necessary for them to do wrong! We have constantly heard men try to make excuse for their sins by reason of the peculiar position or the very remarkable circumstances in which they were placed. Even a murderer has pleaded his necessities as a reason why he felt that he might steal and even kill to supply his needs! Men will actually say that God has put them where they cannot help doing wrong and that “fate” decreed it and God ordained it! And so they seek to shift the blame from themselves. This is indeed thinking and saying that God is like themselves–and it is the height of impudent blasphemy when a man reaches that point! O You pure and holy God who utterly abhors everything that is evil, how far has the sinner gone in sin when, instead of confessing his iniquity with shamefacedness and humiliation, he dares to speak as if You were as sinful as he is!
This condition of heart in which men think that God is like themselves prevents their feeling any reverence for Him. Hence, many of them render to Him no kind of worship, set apart no day especially as His and even ridicule the idea of there being any Lord’s-Day in the week! They have a League of their own for the special purpose of desecrating the day that most of His people regard as His beyond all the other days of the week. This takes away from them all desire to pray to God. They say, “If we pray to Him, what profit shall it be to us?” His Inspired Word is to them no more than any other book–indeed, they even venture to criticize it with a severity which they do not show towards the works of their own poets or historians! They utterly reject both God and His salvation.
This mistaken notion concerning God also keeps sinners from repentance. As long as a man thinks that God is as bad as he is, he will never repent of his sin. It is often the holiness of God that breaks men down under a sense of their own guilt. This mistaken idea of the Character of God also prevents the exercise of faith, for a man cannot have faith in one whose character he does not respect! And if I am wicked enough to drag God down to my level in my estimation of Him, of course I cannot trust Him, for I have enough sense left to enable me to feel that I could not trust Him if He is like myself! If He is, indeed, such as my depraved imagination pictures Him, faith in Him becomes an absurdity and well may the man who thinks this of God say that it is not possible for him to believe in Him! Of course he could not believe in such a god as he sets up in his own imagination! But O, You ever-blessed Jehovah, when we know how holy, pure, good, true and perfect You are–and see how opposite to You we are in every respect, we do, like Job–abhor ourselves and repent in dust and ashes and we find it easy to put our trust in You! When Your blessed Spirit has opened our eyes to see You, how can we keep from trusting You? When we know You, we must rely upon You! When we see the beauties of everlasting love gleaming in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, every power of our being seems to say, “I must trust in Him and rest in Him alone.” May God bless these words to any ungodly ones who have been thinking that He is like themselves!
II. Now, secondly, I am going to speak of the same sin from another point of view and show you that RETURNING SINNERS OFTEN MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE CONCERNING GOD.
Numbers of persons are kept from peace of mind through mistaken ideas of God. They think that He is like themselves and so they do not receive the Gospel. For instance, it is not the easiest thing in the world to forgive thosewho have trespassed against us. There are some people who find this duty to be one of the hardest that they have to perform. Consequently, when a man with such a disposition as that is conscious of having offended God, he thinks it is quite as hard for God to forgive him as it is for him to forgive his fellow man! And judging God by himself, he says, “Surely He cannot forgive me.” Looking at his innumerable provocations, thinking of the twenty, or perhaps forty, fifty, or 60 years or more in which he has hardened his heart against God, he says to himself, “I could not forgive a man who had held out so long against me, so how is it possible for God to forgive me?” Well might the Lord answer him out of the excellent Glory, “You think that I am like you, but as high as the heavens are above the earth so high are My ways above your ways, and My thoughts above your thoughts.” I have never found a text which says, “Who is a man like untoyou, that pardons iniquity and passes by transgression?” for that is not characteristic of man! But I do find this text, “Who is a God like unto You, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?"Yes, the Lord loves to forgive! He delights to pardon. His Justice has been fully vindicated by the death of His Son, the Substitute for sinners. That was necessary, for He could not tarnish His Justice even for the sake of His mercy! But now that the righteous Judge sees that the foundations of His moral government will not be shaken by His forgiveness of repenting sinners, He can freely dispense the mercy in which He delights. His mercy endures forever and whoever confesses and forsakes his sin shall find mercy! It is not difficult for God to forgive though it may be difficult for us to do so.
The awakened sinner often imagines that since he would not bestow favors upon the undeserving, therefore God willnot. He hears of the great blessings that are promised in the Word of God to those who believe in Jesus and he says, “This news is too good to be true.” Contrasting his own deserving with the fullness of this Divine promise, he says, “How can I believe this promise? That one surpasses all credence. How can I accept that other one as true?” The best reply is that given by God in our text, “You thought that I was altogether like you.” What if the gift seems so be too great for you to receive? Is it also too great for God to give? What if it seems to be too lavish to be given by one man to another? It is not too lavish to be given by Him who is King of kings and Lord of lords! Like as a king gives–no, like as a God gives, doesHe give unto you! The greatness of the Divine promises, instead of staggering our faith, ought to be the evidence of their truthfulness! Is it reasonable to suppose that God would promise to do only little things for those who trust Him? Oh, judge not so! He “does great things past finding out; yes, and wonders without number.” His mercies are high as Heaven, and wide as the East is from the West!
The convinced sinner is also often troubled with the thought that God cannot mean what He says. “What?” he asks,“can I be pardoned in a moment, be justified in a moment, be saved from Hell and made an heir of Heaven all in a moment?” He thinks it cannot really be so and he thinks so because he often says what he does not mean and he, therefore, thinks that God speaks in the same style. But, Sir, I pray you not to measure God’s corn by your bushel! If youplay with words, Jehovah never does! Has He spoken, and will He not do as He has said? Has He promised and shall it not come to pass?
The sinner next thinks that surely God cannot mean to give him all this mercy freely. He says to himself, “If a manhad offended me, I would expect him to make some reparation before I forgave him. I would look for something at his hands–and is God’s mercy to be given to the undeserving and nothing to be asked of him before it is given? How can that be?” He thinks that God cannot mean it and that the Scriptural declaration concerning the freeness of salvation cannot be meant to be taken literally as it stands. When this invitation sounds in a man’s ears, “Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool,” he says, “They are beautiful words, but they cannot apply to me, just as I am, without anything to recommend me.” So he practically thinks that God talks as he does, himself, without meaning what He says. But, verily it is not so, for every promise of God is true and shall be fulfilled to the letter!
This poor convinced sinner next says, “But, surely, you do not mean to say that God will give me all this mercynow.” Yes I do, for He says, “I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” Yet, because this sinner has himself been dilly-dallying, and procrastinating and postponing, he thinks that God will act in the same manner and will say to him, “You must wait now–you have waited for your own pleasure, now you may wait for Mine.” But there is nothing in Scripture to warrant such an idea as this! It is only our trying to drag God down to the level of our narrowness and littleness that makes us think so. It is immediate pardon that God delights to give! He speaks and it is done.He commands and it stands fast. There stands the sinner in his rags, filthy from head to foot, degraded and debased–but the command comes from the excellent Glory, “Take away his filthy garments from him,” and they are gone in a moment. “Wash him from his defilement,” and he is at once clean. “Array him in white garments,” and he is so arrayed! “Set a fair miter upon his brow,” and the miter is there! What the Lord does requires no time. We need weeks, months, years, to do what we have so do, but when Christ had even to raise the dead, He did it in a moment! He simply said, “Lazarus, come forth,” and there was Lazarus! He touched the bier on which the dead young man lay–and the young man at once sat up and began to speak! He said to the little maiden, “Talitha cumi,” and she opened her eyes at once and rose from her bed ready to eat the refreshment which the Savior commanded her parents to bring her! O poor Sinners, I pray you do not doubt that the great mercy, the free mercy of Jesus Christ is to be given even now, if your hand is but stretched out to receive it!
I have known some get into their heads the notion that simply to trust in Christ cannot be the right thing for them to do. They say, “Surely, there is a great deal more to do besides that.” Yes, there is much more to do after you havebelieved, but the Gospel command says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.” One says, “I will go home and pray.” Another says, “I will read the Scriptures.” And there are some who, in their despair of finding peace, resolve to do nothing at all! Some time ago, a young man who had been greatly concerned about his soul, came to the conclusion that he must be lost–and he determined not to read the Bible, nor to attend a place of worship for 12 months. But this very resolve made him still more wretched and, one day, a Christian woman, to whom he told his feelings, was much grieved at his decision and she said to him, “What a pity it is that you cannot take Jesus Christ!” As he walked home, that remark stuck in his mind, “What a pity it is that you cannot take Jesus Christ!” Is that all we have todo–to take Jesus Christ? Yes, that is all. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved,” comprehends the whole case–and where faith is exercised by us, we are saved. But we think that there must be something behind the promise because we ourselves often keep something behind in our promises, so again the test is true, “You thought that Iwas altogether like you,” but it is not so. If you come just as you are, with all your sin and hardness of heart–and just rest your guilty soul upon the Person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, resolved that, if you perish, you will perish trusting alone in Him–your heavenly Father will give you a kiss of acceptance, lift the burden from your weary shoulders and send you home in peace! “Look unto Me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth,” is no lie, no exaggeration, no straining of the truth! Put it to the test, Sinner! God help you to do so and He shall have all the praise!
III. Before I close, I must have a few words with you who love the Lord, for THERE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE. They begin thinking that God is such an one as themselves. Now I am going to find some of you out–I know where you are for I have been that way myself, I am sorry to say.
We also are apt to grow weary of the sad and the sorrowful. “Oh,” says one, “I cannot bear to talk to Mr. So-andSo! He has such a gloomy countenance and he speaks in such dolorous tones.” Another says, “Really, my poor sister quite wears me out. I used to nurse her with a great deal more pleasure than I do now, for I think she has less patience than she used to have.” We get weary of those who cannot cheer us, those whose lives are full of sadness and then we think that God gets as weary of us, but He never does! No, O sad ones, the Lord comforts the mourners and cheers those who are cast down. You especially who are sad on account of sin may rest assured that your sadness and dependency will never weary your God–your friends may get tired of you but your God never will!
We also sometimes forget our promises. In the multiplicity of things that some of us have to do, it is possible that weoccasionally fail to keep our promise and we are very grieved when, quite unintentionally, it so happens. But God never forgets any one of His promises, so let no one of us ever say, “My God has forgotten me.” It cannot be! There never was such a thing as a slip of memory with God. Every promise of His will be kept to the second when it comes due.
We also sometimes find ourselves loath to give to those who ask of us. After we have given to several, we feel that wereally cannot give to everybody who asks us for help. But it is never so with God. If we have gone to Him a hundred times, let us be all the bolder to go to Him again! And if we know that He has been helping a thousand other poor saints like ourselves, or poor sinners, too, let us go to Him again and go right boldly, for His bounty of mercy is not exhausted, nor His store of Grace diminished!
We know, too, dear Friends, that we are often unwise. What man is there on the face of the earth who does not makemistakes? The pope, who is called “infallible,” makes more mistakes than anyone else! We all make mistakes and, therefore, we imagine that God does the same. When we get into a little trouble, we begin to suspect that there is some mistake in the arrangements of Divine Providence. We do not say as much as that–we would be ashamed to say it, especially if anybody heard it–but that is what we think. It seems to us that God has brought us into a difficulty out of which it will not be possible for Him to extricate us. We do not say as much as that, except in our hearts, but, Beloved, when we even think anything like that, we are really imagining that God is such an one as ourselves!
We know also that we are sometimes harsh in our judgments and that we expect more of people than we ought to anddo not make allowances for their infirmities. And we fancy that God is like we are. But to His dear children He is always generous and kind, even as Jesus made allowance for His sleeping disciples when He said, “The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I think that we sometimes represent God as being even worse than we ourselves are. When I was ill, some little time ago, I found that I could not keep my thoughts fixed upon any subject as I wanted to. When I tried to meditate upon holy themes, my mind rambled because the pain I was suffering quite distracted me. I said to a friend who came to visit me that I wished I could concentrate my thoughts and that I felt as a Christian, I ought to do so. He said, “Well now, if your boy was as ill as you are and he said to you, ‘Father, I cannot think as much about you as I would like to do, my pain is so great,’ you would say, ‘My dear son, I do not expect you to do anything of the kind.’ You would sit down by his bedside and try to comfort him. And you would tell him that while his poor body was so racked with pain, you would not be so unreasonable as to expect him to act in any other way.” I saw at once that my friend was right and then he said to me, “Do you think that you are kinder to your son than God is to us?” If our opinion of God is that He is harsher and sterner to us than we are to our children, it is a very erroneous notion. Some Christian people seem to be afraid to rejoice, yet we love to see our children full of joy, so we may be sure that our heavenly Father loves so see His children happy.
Further, we know that we ourselves are weak and, therefore, we dream that God is also weak. When the furnace ofaffliction is very hot and we feel that we cannot endure its heat, we foolishly think that God cannot uphold us under the fiery trial. If our labor is very hard and we feel that we cannot accomplish it, we are very unwise to dream that God cannot give us all the strength we need for our task. How can we be so foolish as to estimate the Omnipotence of Jehovah by our weakness, for I will not venture to call it strength?
We also know that we constantly change. We are as fickle as the weather–fair today and foul tomorrow–and,therefore, we fancy that God changes as often as we do. Some talk about His loving His children today and hating them tomorrow, but that is not true. Listen to these texts, “I am the Lord, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.” “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent.” “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of burning.” Judge not the Lord, then by your fickleness as if He were such an one as yourselves!
The mischief of this mistake on the part of Christians is that we narrow the possibility of our attainments. We thinkthat we cannot overcome sin. We think that we cannot walk in the light as God is in the light. We think that we cannot enjoy abiding fellowship with our Lord. We think that we cannot be holy. And all this is because we only think of what we can do, not of what God can do for us and in us! Now, as far as the poles are asunder should be our estimate of ourselves and our estimate of God. Christ not only says to us, “Without Me you can do nothing,” but also, “All things are possible to him that believes,” to him who thus links himself with the Omnipotence of God.
When we judge the Lord by what we ourselves are, our belief is like that which prevented the Master from doing many mighty works in His own city of Nazareth! May the Lord be pleased to give us a far higher conception of what He really is, for that will enable us to do much more for Him! It is because of this mistaken notion of ours concerning God that we limit our desires, slacken our endeavors, are satisfied to have everything on the pigmy scale when it might be gigantic. We are content with pence when we might have pounds of Grace. We are satisfied with the very imperfect cultivation of a tiny plot of land when the broad acres of God’s bounty lie before us. We win an inch or two of the enemy’s territory and we throw up our caps, and cry, “What mighty conquerors we are!” while whole provinces lie unconquered and whole nations remain ignorant of the Gospel! Then we keep on straitening ourselves more and more, contracting our conceptions and our ideas, the older we grow, till the zealous youth gets to be a “prudent” old man, whose “prudence” consists in chilling everybody he meets, carrying wet blankets to cover up everyone who has a little life in him, snuffing everybody’s candle and generally managing to snuff all the candles out. | 2019-04-22T22:23:40 | https://www.thekingdomcollective.com/spurgeon/sermon/3119/ |

A sole assembly which includes a heel cradle configured to cradle a heel of a human foot when the human foot is rested within the heel cradle, a rigid upper plate including a first part connected to the heel cradle and a second part located farther from the heel cradle than is the first part, a lower plate including a first part of which is connected to the first part of the upper plate and including a second part which is connected to the second part of the upper plate, an oblong gap located between the upper plate and lower plate and between the first and second parts of the upper and lower plates. A sole assembly including an upper plate and a lower plate stiffer than the upper plate and attached to the upper plate so as to form an oblong gap. Also, a shoe including the sole assembly.
The present invention relates to a device that supports a person's foot, and more specifically, to a shoe sole assembly having a spring mechanism for storing and releasing mechanical energy during the gait cycle.
Footwear has often incorporated various methods of absorbing impact energy generated while a person walks or runs. Specifically, sponges or cushion materials are often used to absorb and dissipate energy throughout the wearer's gait cycle. However, in order to achieve sufficient cushioning, a large amount of cushioning material that substantially covers the entire plantar region of the shoe may be necessary. This creates a thick and heavy sole structure that adds weight to the shoe and prevents air flow to the plantar region of the wearer's foot. Cushion material may also become compacted over time and lose its cushioning effect, and does very little to store energy for use during the gait cycle.
Shoe makers have also created “through-holes” in the cushion material that extend from the lateral to medial sides of the shoe sole in order to reduce the weight of the shoe. However, as these conventional through-holes are typically mere vacancies created in the cushion material, they do not provide effective air flow to the plantar region of the wearer's foot. Moreover, conventional through-holes do not provide a structure for effectively storing mechanical energy.
Various spring elements have been used in footwear in an attempt to store impact energy for use during the gait cycle. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,449,878 discloses a spring assembly including a first spring element that extends over a large area of the shoe sole, and a second spring element attached to the first element in a midfoot region but spaced from and opposing the first element in a heel region of the shoe. The opposing first and second spring elements form a tension spring in the heel region of the shoe. However, this spring assembly is complex and requires large and highly resilient components that are too heavy to be of practical use for most shoes, particularly athletic shoes.
While simple and light-weight plastic-type assemblies have been implemented into footwear, these structures have generally been used to provide rigidity to certain regions of the sole and cannot efficiently store and release energy during the gait cycle. For example, U.S. Patent Publication 2003/0005600A1 discloses a plastic shank member embedded in a midfoot region of a shoe sole. The shank member is a substantially rigid sheet of material closed to form an oblong cross sectional shape. Placement of the shank member in the midfoot region of the midsole provides greater rigidity to this area of the midsole so that the forefoot of the midsole is more bendable. However, the shank is not disclosed as a spring element for storing and releasing energy during gait.
Furthermore, the present inventors have recognized that when any type of energy storage device is implemented in footwear, foot placement within the shoe during contact with the ground is important to realizing a spring effect. Moreover, if the foot is improperly placed relative to the energy storage device, the device may interfere with the natural sequence of pressure distribution of the foot during the footstep, thus resulting in foot discomfort. For example, in the heel area, the heel of the foot tends to break contact or at least reduce pressure on the heel portion of the sole of the shoe when the foot is lifted. Accordingly, the heel of the foot may drift within the shoe and not impact the sole of the shoe in the optimum location for cushion effect and energy storage. Conventional shoes have not recognized this importance of heel placement, and thus have not provided comfortable and efficient energy storage mechanisms.
Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to address at least some of the above described and/or other problems of conventional footwear.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple, light-weight footwear spring element for effectively storing and releasing energy during the gait cycle.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a footwear mechanism for effectively positioning the wearer's heel in relation to a sole spring element in order to enhance efficient storage of energy in the spring at impact. Any of these and/or other objects can be provided by a sole assembly according to the present invention.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a sole assembly is disclosed including: a heel cradle configured to cradle a heel of a human foot when the human foot is rested within the heel cradle, a rigid upper plate including a first part connected to the heel cradle and a second part located farther from the heel cradle than is the first part, a lower plate including a first part which is connected to the first part of the upper plate and including a second part which is connected to the second part of the upper plate, an oblong gap located between the upper plate and lower plate and between the first and second parts of the upper and lower plates shaped such that a gap dimension between the upper and lower plates in a first direction, measured from the first part of the upper plate to the second part of the upper plate, is greater than a gap dimension between the upper and lower plates in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a shoe is disclosed including: an upper portion; and a sole assembly including, a heel cradle configured to cradle a heel of a human foot when the human foot is rested within the heel cradle, a rigid upper plate including a first part connected to the heel cradle and a second part located farther from the heel cradle than is the first part, a lower plate including a first part which is connected to the first part of the upper plate and including a second part which is connected to the second part of the upper plate, an oblong gap located between the upper plate and lower plate and between the first and second parts of the upper and lower plates shaped such that a gap dimension between the upper and lower plates in a first direction, measured from the first part of the upper plate to the second part of the upper plate, is greater than a gap dimension between the upper and lower plates in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.
According to another aspect of the invention, a sole assembly is disclosed including: an outsole located on a side of the sole assembly and configured to support the sole assembly, a cushion material located next to the outsole, a means for cradling a heel of a human foot when the human foot is rested within the means for cradling, and a means for storing energy generated during walking connected to the means for cradling.
According to another aspect of the invention, a sole assembly is disclosed including: a rigid upper plate including a first part and a second part and having a first stiffness, a lower plate having a second stiffness greater than the first stiffness and including a first part which is connected to the first part of the upper plate and including a second part which is connected to the second part of the upper plate, an oblong gap located between the upper plate and lower plate and between the first and second parts of the upper and lower plates shaped such that a gap dimension between the upper and lower plates in a first direction, measured from the first part of the upper plate to the second part of the upper plate, is greater than a gap dimension between the upper and lower plates in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.
FIG. 14 shows a perspective view of an upper plate and heel cradle according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shoe incorporating a sole assembly according to one non-limiting embodiment of the present invention. As seen in this figure, the shoe includes an upper 1 attached to a sole assembly 2. The upper is preferably made of durable sheets of non-elastic material such as leather, canvas, synthetic material or any other upper material known to those skilled in the art of shoes. In a preferred embodiment, the upper is a breathable nylon mesh material reinforced with outer layer regions of nylon netting. The upper 1 may be attached to the sole assembly 2 by stitching, adhesion or any other method known in the art.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the sole assembly 2 includes a spring mechanism having an upper plate 3 and a lower plate 4 in contact with one another to form a gap 11 through the sole assembly 2. Also included is a heel cradle structure 5, and rear and front cushion materials 6 and 7 respectively. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the rear cushion material 6 includes a through hole 9 that works with the gap 11 to facilitate air flow to the bottom portion of the sole assembly as will be further described below. An outsole 8 is formed on a bottom portion of the cushion materials 6, 7 as will also be discussed below.
FIG. 2 and 3 show a medial and lateral side respectively of the sole assembly 2 shown in FIG. 1. As seen in these figures, the upper plate 3 and a lower plate 4 are connected to one another so as to form an oblong shaped gap 11 that extends as a hole from the lateral to medial side of the sole assembly 2. The upper plate 3 is concave facing downward and extends longitudinally from a heel region to a metatarsal region of the sole assembly 2, while the lower plate 4 is concave facing upward and connects to the upper plate 3 at the heel and metatarsal regions respectively. However, in alternative embodiments the upper and or lower plates may be flat or concave in the opposite direction, and may be further contoured to fit the shape of a human foot. Further the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 may be attached by any of various methods, such as, for example, by adhesive, heat bonding, ultrasonic welding or mechanical connection etc.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, the gap 11 extends approximately 10.5 cm longitudinally along the sole assembly 2, and is approximately 1.2 cm high at a middle point of the gap, however dimensions of the gap vary according to the size of the sole assembly 2, and/or according to the spring effects desired. In one embodiment, the gap is approximately 25-35% of the length of the sole assembly 2. Preferably, the length of the gap (not considering curvature) is from approximately 100 mm to 130 mm, and the height is from approximately 5 mm to 14 mm.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3, the upper plate 3 is more flexible than the lower plate 4. Specifically, the upper plate 3 has a thickness of approximately 3 mm, and is formed with medial and lateral sidewalls 3 a and 3 b that provide some rigidity to the upper plate 3, while the lower plate 4 is approximately 1.5 mm thick and generally planar along a transverse cross section. However, the upper plate 3 is made of a relatively flexible material such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), while the bottom plate is made of a stiffer material such as carbon fiber or KEVLAR® (poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide) etc., which have a higher tensile strength and flexural modulus. The present inventors have discovered that the softer TPU used in the upper plate 3, provides a cushioning effect while the more rigid carbon fiber lower plate 4 provides excellent energy storage characteristics. In alternative embodiments, the thickness, structural design and/or the material composition of the plates may be varied to provide upper and lower plates having the same or different stiffness properties. Further the upper and/or lower plate can be designed to have localized stiffness properties as will be further described below.
One benefit of using carbon fiber in the plates, especially the lower plate 4, is that because the carbon fiber is very strong and stiff, the lower plate 4 can provide the desired spring effect with a reduced thickness relative to other materials. Thus, the vertical dimension of gap 11 is increased without increasing the overall height of the sole assembly 2. This increase allows a greater range of travel between the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 4 within a given overall height of the sole assembly 2. In other words, with one or both plates made of a high stiffness material such as carbon fiber, the range of travel between the plates can be maintained while the sole assembly can be made shorter in height than would be possible with other materials.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3, the heel cradle 5 is integrally formed with the upper plate 3, and the lower plate 4 connects to a middle region of the heel cradle 5. Thus, a portion of the upper plate 3 extends beyond the contact point with the lower plate to form a cantilever portion 5 a, which is contoured to cup or cradle the wearer's heel. As seen by the dashed lines in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rear cushion material 6 overlaps the bottom of the cantilevered portion 5 a in order to provide support for the portion 5 a The heel cradle 5 also includes a substantially flat and flexible strip portion 5 b that is in flush contact with an outer surface of the upper 1 of the shoe to provide comfortable support for the heel, while a more rigid portion 5 c overlaps the strip 5 b and is made integral with the upper plate 4 to provide reinforcement of the strip 5 b.
As best seen in FIG. 4, the rear portion of the heel cradle 5 includes a rigid wall 5 d that is integral with the cantilevered part 5 a and the reinforcing portion 5 c. The wall 5 d provides strong support for the heel at impact during, for example, running. The portions 5 a, 5 c and 5 d of the heel cradle are preferably made of the same material as the upper plate 3. The reinforcing portion 5 c (and strip 5 b beneath it) extend from the rigid wall 5 d along the lateral and medial sidewalls of the upper 1, and are contoured to approach the upper plate 3 as they run forward toward a midfoot region of the sole assembly 2. Thus, side portions of the heel cradle 5 include an opening 18, which can allow some air flow through the upper 1 to the heel region of the shoe interior. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 and 14, the heel cradle 5 extends approximately 3.7 cm up the sidewall of the upper 1 at a maximum, and extends approximately 7 cm along the sidewalls from a rear of the upper 1. It is to be understood, however, that the portion of the heel cradle 5 overlapping the upper 1 can have varying dimensions for different size shoes and for different shoe types, as long as the overall heel cradle structure 5 supports the heel to enhance centering of the wearer's heel during use.
The addition of the heel cradle 5 can enhance the effect of the spring mechanism by improving a position of the wearer's heel as the heel of the foot lifts and descends during walking or running. The present inventors have realized that by consistently centering the heel of the foot in relation to the sole assembled, the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 more efficiently store and release energy during gait. Furthermore, proper positioning of the heel allows the sole assembly 2 to smoothly accommodate the natural gait of the wearer and to provide support where needed. To achieve proper positioning of the heel of the foot, the heel cradle 5 is typically added to the shoe on the outside of the upper 1 as shown in FIGS. 1-4; however, the heel cradle 5 may be formed inside or as an integral part of the heel region of the upper 1.
Further in the non-limiting embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-4 and 14, the heel cradle 5 is an integral part of the upper plate 3. One benefit of this arrangement is that the heel cradle 5 not only centers the heel of the foot on the upper plate 3, but flexes as the upper plate 3 flexes. In another non-limiting embodiment, the heel cradle 5 may be a separate component and attached to the upper plate 3 via any of the various joining processes discussed above regarding connecting the plate. Additionally, the heel cradle 5 may be made of a different material than the upper plate 3. Accordingly, the stiffness of the heel cradle 5 may be made different from the plates by changing the material or by changing the dimensions of the heel cradle 5.
As shown in FIG. 14, the heel cradle 5 may include openings on the sides to provide ventilation to the heel region. Additionally, in embodiments where the heel cradle 5 is external to the upper 1, the heel cradle may provide an aesthetically pleasing design. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 14, the area between the openings 18 and above rigid wall 5 d is slightly lower in height than the area above openings 18. This enhances the fit of the heel cradle 5 to the Achilles tendon area of the heel.
As seen in FIGS. 1-4, the rear cushion 6 supports the upper plate 3 and heel cradle 5 in the heel area, and supports the lower plate 4 from the heel to approximately midfoot, while front cushion 7 supports the forefoot. Cushion material 6,7 is preferably made of a resilient, shock-absorbing material such as, for example, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). Rear cushion gap 9 is provided to support the cantilevered portion of the upper plate 3 and heel cradle 5. The presence of the rear cushion gap 9 may improve the flexibility of the heel of the shoe while decreasing the weight of the shoe and improving air flow directly around the heel of the foot as will be further described below. In some non-limiting embodiments, the rear cushion gap 9 may not be present, may be shaped differently than as shown in FIG. 4, or may include multiple smaller gaps.
The rear cushion 6 is coupled to the front cushion material 7 to provide a planar surface for attaching the outsole 8. The outsole 8 is preferably implemented as a layer of deformable rubber material that contacts the ground when the shoe is in use, and preferably includes treads that are designed to grip a variety of ground surfaces. As seen in FIGS. 2-4 the outsole 8 is shown as curved along a contour provided by the sole assembly 2. Such contouring accommodates a natural human gait by providing a smooth flow from heel to toe as the foot twists during walking or running. Details of the outsole 8 are discussed below.
The present inventors have discovered that the sole assembly of the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 provides a simple and light-weight footwear spring element for effectively storing and releasing energy during the gait cycle. Further the heel cradle can effectively position the wearer's heel in relation to the sole spring element in order to enhance efficient storage of energy in the spring at impact. It is to be understood, however, that the spring mechanism may be used to provide improved spring characteristics without the need for the heel cradle, and the heel cradle can enhance the energy storage and release characteristics of springs other than that shown in FIGS. 1-4. Still further use of the absorbing material 6, 7 can absorb and dissipate impact shock during heel strike, and operate to dampen the spring effect of the spring mechanism of the sole assembly 2.
Specifically, prior to heel impact of the gait cycle when the heel is not in contact with the ground, the heel cradle 5 can provide lateral support for the heel and maintain a substantially center position of the heel on the sole assembly 2. A downward force created from heel contact to the midstance portion of the gait cycle is applied to the upper plate 3. This causes the upper plate 3 to deflect in elastic deformation downward toward the lower plate 4, thus storing the energy of the applied load. This stored energy is then released during the windlass phase of the gait cycle when the foot locks into place and moves from midstance to toe off. This creates a natural propulsion sensation to the wearer. The absorbing material functions to absorb and disperse shock forces in order to cushion the foot during this gait cycle, and can further dampen the spring effect of the spring element to provide a smoother feel.
FIG. 5 shows a bottom surface of a sole assemble in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As seen in this figure, cross-section lines 7-12 are shown to define the cross-section planes of FIGS. 7-12 respectively. As also seen in FIG. 5, the outsole 8 is substantially continuous from the rear to the front of the sole assembly 2. However, in other embodiments, the outsole could be two or more separate parts, e.g., a rear part and a front part separated by a gap or flexion area The outsole 8 includes a tread portion (designated by number 8), which can be made of various tough, flexible materials such as, for example, carbon rubber, and is designed to provide gripping of various surfaces. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the tread portion 8 is implemented as a substantially planar sheet of rubber having serpentine raised edges and grooves that extend in a longitudinal direction.
The tread portion 8 includes a plurality of small holes 8 a therein at a forefoot region of the sole assembly, and a larger hole 8 d extending from the heel to midfoot region of the sole assembly 2. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the tread holes 8 a correspond to holes 8 b in the absorbing material 7 to provide front ventilation holes 8 c in the bottom of the shoe to permit air flow to the forefoot interior of the shoe. Similarly, the hole 8 d corresponds to hole 8 e provided in the rear cushion 6, hole 8 f provided in lower plate 4 and hole 8 g provided in upper plate 3, such that a heel ventilation hole 12 allows air flow to an interior of the shoe. Although the holes are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 as having a teardrop shape, other shapes are possible. Additionally, not all of the upper plate 3, lower plate 4, or rear cushion 6 need to have similarly shaped holes. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the holes may have a mesh or reinforcing structure added.
FIG. 6 shows a top surface of the sole assembly 2 at the interior of the shoe. As seen in this figure, the sole assembly 2 includes an outsole 8 having a front cushion 6 provided at a forefoot region thereof, and a rear cushion 7, lower plate 4 and upper plate 3 sequentially stacked on a heel to mid-foot region of the outsole 8. As also seen in FIG. 6, the ventilation holes 8 b and 12 extend to the interior of the shoe. The ventilation holes 8 c and 12 preferably include a screen or mesh material that permits air flow into the shoe while keeping debris from entering the interior of the shoe. Thus, the sole assembly of FIGS. 5 and 6, is designed to permit substantial air flow from an exterior of the shoe to a plantar region of the wearer's foot. This is further enhanced by the cushion gap 9 in the absorbing material 6 and the gap 11 in the spring mechanism, which allow free flow of air around the heel portion of the shoe and to the ventilation hole 12. Further ventilation holes 8 a and 12 reduce the weight of the sole assembly, while enhancing the performance characteristics of the shoe by guiding the heel to center strike upon impact.
FIGS. 7-12 show various cross sections of the sole assembly of FIGS. 1-6 in accordance with one embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a longitudinal cross section of the sole assembly of FIG. 5. As seen in FIG. 7, the upper plate 3 is formed of TPU depicted by a diagonal cross sectional marking, while the lower plate 4 is formed from carbon fiber depicted by a vertical-horizontal cross sectional marking. Areas 14 and 15 show a contact region of the upper and lower plate at a heel and mid-foot region respectively. Further, the upper and lower plates include a break at this cross section due to the hole 8 g in the upper plate 3 and the hole 8 f in the lower plate 4. As also seen in this figure, the absorbing material 7 at the metatarsal region of the forefoot includes a cavity having a second absorbing or cushioning material 20 provided therein. In one non-limiting embodiment, cushioning material 7 and 20 preferably have different durometer hardness ratings. However, in a preferred embodiment, the cushioning material 7 and 20 are comprised of the same material.
FIG. 8 shows a cross-section of the outsole 8 taken along the section-line as defined in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 8, the first foam material 20 provides a cushion across the metatarsal region of the foot. Below the first foam material 20 is forefoot absorbing material 7 and the outsole 8. In one non-limiting embodiment, the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 do not extend to the cross-section shown in FIG. 8. By not placing the plates in the region of this cross-section, natural flexure at the ball of the foot occurs independently of the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4. In another non-limiting embodiment, the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 are formed such that they are present in the metatarsal region, but are structured to allow flexure at the ball of the foot as needed. It should be noted that the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 may be made longer or shorter depending on the particular needs of the wearer. In some cases, the plates may be made shorter and moved closer to the heel of the sole assembly 2. In other cases, the plates may be moved forward, either by lengthening the plates relative to the length of the sole assembly 2 or by moving the plates themselves forward.
FIG. 9 shows a cross-section of the outsole 8 taken at the section-line as defined in FIG. 5. In this view, the first foam material 20, absorbing material 7, and outsole 8 are present as shown in FIG. 8. However, as section-line of FIG. 9 is closer to the middle of the outsole 8 than section-line of FIG. 8, upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 are shown on the right and left sides of the outsole 8. In this non-limiting embodiment, the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 are Y-shaped or have extended parts on their right and left edges as shown in exemplary FIGS. 13 and 14, which will be discussed further below. Thus, in the cross-section depicted in FIG. 9, only the extended parts appear. The upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 plate make contact in the region of section-line of FIG. 9. As discussed above, the plates may be attached through various methods, including mechanical attachment.
As also by a comparison of FIGS. 8 and 9, the sole assembly 2, upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 are thinner towards a center of the shoe. Alternatively, the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 may have uniform widths as measured horizontally across the shoe. When the widths and thicknesses of the plates are uniform, the plates may easily be formed by simple extrusion. However, in order to enhance response of the plates as a foot travels from heel to toe during a footstep, the plates typically have a varying width (and possibly thickness as discussed below) along their length. In addition to altering the performance of the plates during deflection, such curvature allows the plates to fit beneath the contours of the foot and enhances aesthetic appeal.
FIG. 10 shows a cross-section taken at the line as defined in FIG. 5. In this non-limiting embodiment, the upper plate 3 is shown as having a concave shape pointing upward to form sidewalls 3 a and 3 b which can prevent the foot from slipping from side to side. A comparison of FIGS. 9 and 10 shows that the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 have separated and have formed the beginning areas of the gap 11. Additionally, foam material 6 is shown, which makes up the rear cushion 6 shown in FIGS. 1-4.
FIG. 11 shows a cross-section taken at the section-line as shown in FIG. 5. As this section-line is further back from the front of the shoe than is section-line of FIG. 10, the vertical dimension of gap 11 is larger. Additionally, the concavity of the upper plate 3 has decreased. Finally, FIG. 12 shows a cross-section taken at the section-line as shown in FIG. 5. Although other locations are possible, an optional rear cushion cavity 9 is shown in approximately the center of the shoe. The presence of the rear cushion cavity 9 allows more flexion in the center of the upper plate 3, especially if the upper plate cavity 12 and lower plate cavity 10 are present, and permits air flow as previously described.
Further shown in FIG. 12 are the vertical protrusions 19 present on the upper plate 3. In this embodiment, the vertical protrusions 19 are the remnants of the concave-upward parts of the upper plate 3. However, the vertical protrusions may be formed separately from the concave-upward parts of the upper plate 3. In fact, it is not necessary for any other part of the upper plate 3 to be concave upward in order for the upper plate 3 to include the vertical protrusions 19.
The sole assembly of FIGS. 1-12 has been described as having a neutrally-positioned plate that generally allows for the high-arched, rigid foot-type to apply consistent pressure through the gait cycle and receive the maximum cushioning and spring effect. In this embodiment, the material and thickness of each of the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 is substantially constant and symmetrical across a respective plate to provide little variation in stiffness properties across a respective plate. However, alternative embodiments may be implemented to accommodate different foot types. For example, an asymmetric design to give greater support on the medial (inside) portion of the shoe to better support a medium-arched semi-flexible foot as it pronates inward. Similarly, maximum support on the medial side of the shoe may be needed to support an extremely flexible and low-arched foot type. The medial side material would need to be very stiff and noticeably less flexible, as the general body-type for this kind of foot-type is much larger, thus exerting more pressure on the spring device. The stiffness would eliminate the potential for collapse in the midfoot.
Such asymmetrical levels of stiffness can reduce foot pronation. For example, human feet naturally rotate or roll inward during walking, i.e., the feet pronate. Over-pronation occurs when the arch of a human foot collapses upon weight bearing. Problems associated with over-pronation include soft-tissue inflammation and joint stress. To avoid over-pronation, shoes with augmented arch supports have been designed. However, the augmentation may undesirably add to the overall weight and height of the shoe. Additionally, as the augmentation is typically designed merely to prevent collapse of the arch of the foot, the augmentation does not efficiently store energy during walking or running. Thus, rather than augmenting the arch of a shoe with thicker padding which in turn would increase the weight and height of the shoe, a particular part of the foot such as, for example, the arch area of the foot, may be preferentially supported by altering the stiffness characteristics of the plates, either by changing plate geometry or by changing materials.
FIG. 13 shows a general shape of the upper plate 3 and lower plate 4 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As seen in this figure, the plate 40 includes front wings 42 and a through hole 44, which generally divide the plate 40 into a medial side 46 and lateral side 48 having a boundary indicated by the vertical dashed lines in the figure. In one non-limiting embodiment, a portion or all of the medial side 46 of the plate 40 may be made of stiffer material than a portion of the lateral side 48. For example, part of the medial side of the plate may be fabricated from carbon fiber or other material while the remainder of the plate may be made of relatively more flexible TPU. In one non-limiting embodiment, the carbon fiber may comprise one or more separate inserts 24 attached or placed inside the plate as shown in FIG. 13. The insert 24 may be replaceable to enable one to customize the shoe for a particular wearer or use. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/709792 discloses various methods of measuring a characteristic of the wearer in order to determine a footwear component such as insert 24 suitable for the wearer. This provisional application is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. In another non-limiting embodiment, the inserts may be integrally formed into the plate during the manufacture of the plate.
Various methods of stiffening particular portions of the plates exist. If the stiffness of the plate depends largely on the number of fibers present in the material, such as it typically does with fiber-glass or carbon fiber materials, the density of the fibers in a part of the plate may be increased or reduced during manufacture to affect the stiffness in a particular area. In yet another non-limiting embodiment, the chemical composition of the plate may be altered in various parts such that the stiffness changes.
Further, the thickness of the plate 40 may be increased on the medial side 46. As the stiffness of a cross-section of a plate is proportional to the cube of the thickness of the plate, even a small change in the thickness of the plate will have a large affect on the overall stiffness of the plate. Thus, grooves, ribs, and plates with gradually varying thicknesses may be used to affect the localized stiffness of the upper plate 3 or lower plate 4 or both. Still further, the medial side may be asymmetrical in shape as shown by the phantom wing extension 50 on the medial side, which may stiffen this area.
As shown in FIG. 13 wings 42 are typically positioned on the medial and lateral sides of the plate 40. In FIG. 14, the wings 42 are shown on the upper plate 3 as slightly tapered protrusions extending toward the toe area. Thus, the wings 42 enhance stability of the sole assembly 2 by stiffening the outer portions of the sole assembly, but add less weight than would a shape in which the area between the wings 42 is filled with material. Accordingly, the stiffness of the metatarsal region can be enhanced with little added material. Wings 42 added to the lower plate 4 achieve similar results. Additionally, the tapering shape of the wings 42 in the vertical direction provides enhanced ability to attach the lower plate 4 and upper plate 3 to the rest of the sole assembly 2, i.e., the taper provides a fillet shape in the connection area.
In addition to asymmetry of the upper and lower plates themselves, the spring assembly may be positioned differently within the sole assembly to accommodate different foot types. For example, moving the spring mechanism forward or back may change a performance characteristic of the sole assembly. For example, a smaller system that is closer to the heel may work better for a mild overpronator. As another example, moving the system forward may create the best forefoot cushioning in a shoe. Still further, material and design variations may be implemented to provide a lower midsole height.
Clearly, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

I am pleased to announce that my office has scheduled a Beyond Compliance Forum for 4–6 p.m. Oct. 11 at Kresge Town Hall. The meeting will focus on what we are doing to address and prevent sexual violence and sexual harassment on our campus.
This forum, which I feel is especially important as we start a new academic year, will bring together the many units and programs on campus working to address SVSH. Among the organizations that will be in attendance: Beyond Compliance; Campus Advocacy, Resources, and Education (CARE); Respondent Support Services; Title IX; and the Student Union Assembly. Students from the Title IX Student Advisory Board, a systemwide policy group focused on sexual violence prevention and response, also will be on hand.
Each group will offer a short overview of their work, and what they have planned for the year. Attendees will then have the opportunity to ask questions, and to share concerns and ideas. Nancy Heischman, director of Campus Conflict Resolution Services, will facilitate the event.
Both the Title IX and CARE offices have new directors in place, so the forum also provides a chance to meet them.
Our Beyond Compliance initiative was launched in 2016, under former Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Alison Galloway, to engage faculty in helping to reshape campus culture with the goal of creating an environment free from SVSH. Since the launch of our campus initiative, we have revised policies, sought wider community input, and held forums to have open discussions on the topic. We aim to extend the impact of all our initiatives by bringing these important groups together.
Sexual violence and sexual harassment violate the values of our campus, and we are working earnestly to create a campus where everyone feels welcome, safe, and treated equitably. | 2019-04-23T02:05:36 | https://news.ucsc.edu/2018/10/beyond-compliance-forum.html |
The recent day cars that are mostly governed by trending software, be it on the mechanical side to the infotainment, need software updates just as our other digital gadgets do. These software updates help the cars not only by reducing the gap between your dealer and your car but also make it stand with much more improved safety. As a result even the performance receives a boost as much of the burden from the shoulder of the driver is reduced while the latest upgraded software is able to guard him against all possible distractions that may come his way while driving.
If updating your car software can make that much a difference, then it is quite understandable, how much it would be required, if your car has grown a bit old, but is integrated with a software. The importance of such software update in a used car was further explained to us by the expert team serving a used car dealer in Northern Michigan, and here is what they had to say about it.
During the purchase of the car, you would be informed about the software, that you need to install in your smartphone that is integrated with the car, and it will automatically download and install the code that is issued by the manufacturing company, it receives the latest updates.
With the new updated software, the car can analyze the road conditions better and can navigate the driver’s route with much more efficiency. The software would be able to control the actions of the driver, holding him from crossing the permitted speed limit and can stop the attendant from accessing and using personal data through the valet mode, can apply automatic braking and can detect the blind-spots while providing an accurate topography of the area the car is crossing to alert the driver if he is tending to move out of a charging location.
Though not ye prevalent on most of the cars, but there is software that can enhance the remote operations of the car and this can be availed only after your software gets updated. Once done, such software programs are known to have the capacity to increase the car speed more than the existing at the time of acceleration. Like it can reduce the time of acceleration by a couple of seconds to pick from a dead stop of 0 to 60mph.
With every modern car that comes with an infotainment needs an infotainment system update to avail the latest features that will enhance the ride quality through better navigation, lesser waiting time at the traffic and exciting entertainment while driving for longer hours. The latest smartphone integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay too need regular update to stay in tune with the features they want you to avail.
According to the North Michigan used car dealer expert team, if your car already has Bluetooth connectivity, in-built Wi-Fi system and wireless charging options, with the updated software you would be connected to faster network and connectivity options that will help you stay connected through your drive. | 2019-04-21T00:58:47 | https://www.pastordave.net/why-car-software-update-is-important-in-a-used-car/ |

The fact is, many prescription antidepressant drugs do have undesirable side effects that really can affect other areas of your life, but they are looked at by many as "the lesser of two evils". It's better to not be depressed and anxious, even if you do suffer side effects such as headache, nausea, and decreased sexual function, right?
Wrong! There is a better way to manage stress, anxiety and depression - naturally and without man-made drugs or narcotics. This natural antidepressant remedy actually contains several pure botanicals, natural compounds and herbs that work in unison to balance mood, elevate our natural "antidepressant" chemicals in the brain, maintain even blood sugar levels (which believe it or not, has actually produced weight loss and belly fat loss in many who have taken it), and promote an overall sense of well being and peace.
This product is an excellent remedy for calming anxiety and depression. There are also lifestyle tips that will help you fight depression, anxiety and stress. Number one on that list is - you guessed it - moderate exercise. Now I don't mean you have to do aerobics until you drop, but a nice, steady flow of cardiovascular exercise like walking, jogging, biking, or another form of low impact exercise is an excellent way to manage these symptoms, while also promoting a healthy blood pressure level, a healthy heart, and bodily strength and endurance.
Yoga, forms of slow dance, tai chi, and other meditation-type exercise is also an excellent way to manage stress, anxiety and depression. These types of meditative exercises promote healthy bodily functions, a healthy state of mind, and mental focus, which are key factors in supporting a healthy sense of well being and peace.
If you have a desk job, make it a point to get up and walk around once every hour. Inactivity is one of the biggest perpetuators of depression and anxiety. The human body was designed to be in frequent motion, not to sit all day. So go, get a drink of water, walk some stairs, or take a little walk outside whenever you get the opportunity. You'll be amazed by what physical activity will do for your mental state.
Lastly, take some time for yourself. Every night, take a little time out of your schedule for yourself. Whether it is reading a book, writing in a diary or journal, taking a walk outside, or doing anything else you enjoy, just do it. Getting a little dose of genuine joy or peace in your day is key to being a happy and well-balanced person.
With these few lifestyle guidelines in mind, don't let depression and anxiety destroy your quality of life. Everyone deserves to live a happy, fulfilled life without the need for prescription anti-anxiety and antidepressant drugs. If you need help, but do not want the common side effects of depression medication, I highly encourage you to take a look at this effective new product.

Water, we all drink it, all need it, but what does it do for us? Simply, it is used as a method of carrying nutrients in the body, shuttling out waste products and also lubrication among other aspects (Jequier E and Constant F).
Okay, so how much should we drink then? It has long been advised that we should consume 8 glasses of water a day but is this really necessary or do we need more?
Exercise enthusiasts will always be advised to consume vast amount of water by their coaches or Guru. Averaging on anywhere between 4 litres to 7 litres a day, it is inevitable that a lot of your free time can be spent going to the bathroom (or desperate in finding a bathroom – been there…. Not only is this consumption of water probably excessive, but most likely will stress your kidneys due to requiring frequent urination. Valtin believes that other beverages (beer/ coffee etc) can, in some cases count towards your daily required amount of water. So maybe we can reduce the amount of gallon jugs we carry around everyday (sounds good already) and head to our nearest (insert favorite bar or cafe name..starbu….).
Valtin also goes on to state that we can analyse how dehydrated we are by the colour of our urine (darker urine is a sign of dehydration). Therefore with perhaps some common sense we can avoid being dehydrated and just drink when your urine looks dark. Not so tough is it?
Okay so now we know how to check for dehydration, So what actually is dehydration? In common belief it is just the lack of water in the body, however this is not so simple.
There are different forms of dehydration (Jequier E and Constant F) – This is where we get more scientific (if you are bored already with the scientific stuff skip to the end, it gets better I promise).
So this is all very interesting but what does this mean? Well, in layman terms (that’s you and me) it shows the importance of salt and not just water (please see our previous article). Do we then need to be worried about any type of dehydration?
It is common belief in the sporting world that a sign of thirst is ‘too late’ and the negative effects of dehydration will already be occurring.. (oh sh… where’s my Evian @) However Adolph EF. disagrees with the suggested beliefs and finds a lack of evidence to condone this thought. On the other hand, dehydration has been shown to negatively impact endurance excercise and cognitive function, however more studies need to be carried out on the impact upon stength training (Barr. S and Kempton.M et al). In addition Moroff and Bass found that overhydration for workers in heat were found to be more productive and had less physioloigcal strain. So go buy yourself some water and become Aqua-man!
So in summary make sure you drink water before exercising, but also don’t forget to add your NaCl on your food and stay hydrated. Don’t leave (Na) problems to (Cl)oud your judgement and enjoy!

What do I need to know about cardiac thrombolysis?
Cardiac thrombolysis is a procedure to dissolve or break up a blood clot near your heart. The clot may be removed with a device during the procedure. A clot that forms in the arteries or chambers of the heart can cause a heart attack. The clot can cause a stroke if it breaks off and travels to your brain. Thrombolysis needs to be done as quickly as possible to prevent heart damage or a stroke.
Your healthcare provider will tell you how to prepare for your procedure. He may tell you not to eat or drink anything after midnight on the day of your procedure. He will tell you what medicines to take or not take on the day of your procedure. Arrange to have someone drive you home when you leave the hospital.
You may be given contrast liquid before or during the procedure to help the clot show up in pictures. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast liquid. You may need blood tests and a stress test before your procedure. Talk to your healthcare provider about these or other tests you may need.
You may be given an antibiotic to help prevent an infection caused by bacteria. You may be given local anesthesia to numb the procedure site. Your healthcare provider may choose a vein or artery in your leg, arm, elbow, groin, or neck. With local anesthesia, you may still feel pressure or pushing, but you should not feel any pain. You may instead be given general anesthesia to keep you asleep and free from pain. Your healthcare provider will inject medicine into your IV that will help dissolve or break up the clot. It is most often given into a vein, but it may be given into an artery. If the medicine is given into an artery, a catheter is guided by x-ray so it is near the blood clot.
Your heart rate and blood pressure will be monitored. If you have local anesthesia, healthcare providers may also frequently check your neurological (neuro) status. Your neuro status will be checked to see how well your brain is working. Healthcare providers may check your eyes, your memory, and your hand grasp.
Healthcare providers will apply pressure on the procedure site to stop any bleeding. You will be monitored closely for any problems. Do not get out of bed until your healthcare provider says it is okay. You will then be taken to your hospital room.
You will need to walk around the same day of your procedure, or the day after. Movement will help prevent blood clots. You may also be given exercises to do in bed. Do not get out of bed on your own until your healthcare provider says you can. Ask before you get up the first time. You may need help to stand up safely. When you are able to get up on your own, sit or lie down right away if you feel weak or dizzy. Then press the call button to let someone know you need help.
Anticoagulants are a type of blood thinner medicine that helps prevent clots. Anticoagulants may cause you to bleed or bruise more easily.
Antiplatelets help prevent blood clots. This medicine makes it more likely for you to bleed or bruise.
What are the risks of cardiac thrombolysis?
Thrombolysis increases your risk for bleeding. You may have increased nosebleeds or bleeding from your gums. You may also have bleeding in your stomach or brain. Bleeding can become severe and life-threatening. If the clot is removed, the device used may cause an irregular heartbeat. You may also have an allergic reaction to the contrast liquid or to the medicine used to break up the clot. | 2019-04-22T14:26:18 | https://www.drugs.com/cg/cardiac-thrombolysis.html |
As an entrepreneur, it's your ability to enroll great people in the pursuit of a common cause or goal that will enable you to build a team to execute that vision.
And while things like your personal values, your leadership qualities, reputation, integrity, charisma and people skills will all be useful, it is the size and clarity of your vision that will be most responsible for your ability to attract team members, investors, supporters and customers to your business.
So in the early stages of your business life cycle (pre startup or startup), when people join your team it’s not the product, service or business they are buying in to. Because there probably is no product, service or business at that stage. It’s your vision of the resulting product, service or business they are buying in to.
Bill Gates’ vision was a PC in every household. Richard Branson’s vision was a fun and value-for-money alternative to products and services offered by monopolistic incumbent suppliers. Stephen Tindall’s vision was a place where all Kiwis got a bargain. Peter Jackson’s vision was the greatest movie reproduction of the Lord Of The Rings ever made. Sam Morgan’s vision was an alternative to eBay just for New Zealanders. | 2019-04-18T14:20:56 | https://idealog.co.nz/venture/2014/04/why-your-vision-your-biggest-asset |

Flashback to March 1: Cambodia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Hor Namhong (left) and WFP director Rebecca Hansen receive a gift of 15,712 tons of rice on behalf of the Japanese Government, from the Japanese Ambassador, Fumiaki Takahashi, at WFP's Phnom Penh warehouse. Hansen kept quiet about the discovery two days before of a massive rice theft racket throughout the WFP's network. She advised donors on March 5 when investigators arrived from the Rome head office for a three month probe.
THE United Nations World Food Program (WFP), Cambodia's biggest food donor, has been the target of a $2 million rice fraud involving government ministries, trucking companies, rice traders, village communes, and local government officers working in collusion with WFP distribution staff.
Special investigators called in by the WFP found that an estimated 4,000 metric tons of mainly rice worth around $2 million, destined for poor villagers under the WFP's Food For Work scheme, was stolen in a systematic diversion and cover-up and sold for cash, over a 15-month period between January 2003 and April 2004.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has promised to compensate the WFP either in cash or rice, based on estimates of losses dating back to January 2003. The exact amount is still under negotiation.
WFP staff involved have been sacked and more may follow as inquiries continue, the WFP's country director, Rebecca Hansen, told the Post.
The government is involved in its own investigation to find evidence of criminal activity by government employees. Reports are going to a special committee headed by Deputy Prime Minister Sok An. The Anti-Corruption Unit has been assigned to the investigation.
Hansen said if the government had not agreed to co-operate, the WFP would have been reviewing its future role in Cambodia.
She said the WFP has suspended all new food aid projects till its compensation conditions are met.
The conditions agreed to by the WFP and the government are that the government will accept full responsibility for the loss and will compensate WFP for food lost between January 2003 and April 2004, that the government will hold accountable those primarily responsible for the fraud through either judicial or administrative procedures, and that the government and WFP will put in place controls to prevent the recurrence of food theft in the future.
Hansen described the elaborate, well-hidden racket as "a Pandora's Box that will continue to produce evidence as the lid is opened further. The lid stays on very tightly for a long time and gradually it starts to come open, and more information comes out. WFP will keep looking and taking action until such time we are convinced that we are clean."
She said she believes the thefts could have been going on for longer, "but we'll probably never know".
The WFP is a key player in the government's poverty reduction strategy. In the past three years it has put $70 million worth of donor-sourced rice, oil, salt, sugar and canned fish into Cambodia. Sixty-five percent of the rice (116,000 tons) was from Japan. The WFP's standard rice valuation is $315 a ton, which includes shipping, and external and internal transport costs.
In 2003, 64 percent of the food was distributed through a Food-For-Work (FFW) scheme which pays poor rural people for approved work.
In typical year the WFP supports 1,300 FFW sites spread throughout 12 provinces.
The rice stealing occurred within the FFW scheme. It was discovered on February 28 when a Saturday rice distribution was scheduled at Prey Mich, Kampong Speu.
"It was unusual for distribution to happen on a Saturday, so we carried out a spot check and found that a significant number of trucks that should have arrived did not. That gave us concrete evidence and on that basis we called in the WFP inspectors from our Rome headquarters," Hansen said. She would not give details of the tonnages involved.
An inspection team from Rome arrived on March 5 and the WFP's donors were told what was happening. A monitoring task force comprising a water resources technican and two engineers began work in mid-April.
She said database records and paperwork were flawless. To find evidence of fraud, the inspectors had to visit village work sites and physically measure the work carried out on roads and canals, estimate the amount of rice this qualified for, and compare that figure with what was actually requested and supplied from WFP warehouses. The difference over the period audited averaged 44 percent. Villagers mostly received their full food entitlements for work done.
Hansen said the principal means used was to undervalue the existing work and claim for fake worker beneficiaries. For instance, on a road or canal job the estimate would claim for all new work, when in fact a basic road or shallow ditch may already have existed. The amount of work required was thus overstated and qualified for additional rice. Fake or "ghost" beneficiaries were added to the center of food recipient lists where they were less likely to be detected by spot checks.
Truckloads were diverted to secret destinations after leaving the warehouses.
The period subjected to comprehensive audit and remeasuring of 70 project work sites was November 2003 to April 2004.
Hansen said to go beyond the previous rainy season meant dealing with changes to the weather-induced work sites that made accurate measurement impossible. The WFP had therefore applied 44 percent inflation to the period going back to January 2003, and this was being subjected to evaluation by the government team.
Hansen said reports of irregularities in the FFW had come from WFP staff and a Khmer newspaper in late 2003. Spot checks were carried out but failed to detect the fraud "because a few provincial sub-office staff were on the take and had a vested interest in maintaining the diversions and cover-up".
"We do not know how the fraud was initiated or how many people were involved. But there were many stakeholders and it was very well hidden. It involved the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Water Resources, technical implementing partners, transport companies, rice traders, WFP staff, some communes, and probably district and provincial government officers as well."
She declined to name the transporters. "We deal with a number of different companies and I would rather not name them. Certainly it involved drivers and those making the delivery arrangements.
"I don't know how the payments and kickbacks were made to those on the take. The government is investigating that part, but one can suppose that the rice was sold for cash.
"We have not found a key person to whom the rice was being sold. I think there were a lot of little cells linked together, but no evidence of a mastermind.
"A cell of two or three people involved in the diversion, supported by a few others helping to cover it up for a kickback, would be a possible scenario.
"I think there probably were a group of individuals connected with the different projects who took on the leadership role, but I couldn't say who or how many."
Post: Would as many as 100 people overall have been involved in the racket?
Hansen: "That would be difficult to substantiate. You'd be on thin ice; it's conjecture."
Post: How many WFP people are likely to be fired?
Hansen: "Seven so far have either been fired or resigned. We have ninety staff nationally and about half of them are in the field."
Hansen: "The WFP gets signed statements; we don't call them confessions. We have admissions that they did not manage the program as well as they should have but it's difficult to get someone to admit they accepted kickbacks."
Post: WFP has experienced similar scale food fraud in its operations in several other developing countries, including Afghanistan and Serbia (where the government repaid $3 million). If it's so common, how did it happen here?
Hansen: "This office has always been aware of the possibility for diversion. We have taken many steps to prevent this. We had an audit in October 2003. We have done program audits. We are constantly trying to ensure that food is used for its intended purpose. If you have a large number of people in collusion who stand to gain they have a vested interest in maintaining that system and it's incredibly difficult to get to the bottom of it.
"On the basis of what we have now found out we will do things better but at the time we had no reason to believe there was a problem. We are confident we can put in a system in which it will be easier to spot diversions."
Post: What level of person in government was involved?
Hansen: "I could not say how high up it goes. The government investigation will determine that."
Post: How do you feel about the relationship of WFP with Cambodia now?
Hansen: "I don't think you can let the actions of a few individuals poison the relationship that has had so much benefit for the Cambodia people.
"We don't see it as a setback. Our donors have been kept fully informed and they remain committed to the program."
Hansen said that if the government had denied the problem, "if they did not accept anything, then we would have had to seriously look at our future in Cambodia. But we have never made that threat and we are getting a lot of co-operation. The government has accepted responsibility at the highest level.
"It's up to our executive board to see that the government delivers on those three points of agreement."
The WFP's summary report, findings, and recommendations were presented on July 8 to Prime Minister Hun Sen, Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, and the Ministers of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Rural Development, Water Resources, Agriculture, and Education. The WFP side was represented by the Asia bureau regional director Tony Banbury, and the Inspector General, Adnan Khan and Hansen.
A statement issued from this meeting and given to the Post states: "The Prime Minister expressed his concern and regret over the FFW losses and agreed to the three points raised by the WFP."
Hansen said Hun Sen was adamant that if someone in government was proven to be implicated they would seize assets. "He gave an example that if someone had used the money to buy a house they would seize the house and use that to help pay back the WFP."
Post: Are you confident the government will deliver?
Hansen: "There is no compensation deadline. We are prepared to be paid in cash or food, by installment. We are open to settlement by negotiation. We have made it clear that we will not start any new FFW programs until this is resolved."
"What I hope happens out of this affair is that instead of it coming across as dumping on the government or the WFP, people can see that the government does have a responsibility, has made a commitment. If the country does want to move against corruption there has to be more of these cases come to light."
In 2003 under the FFW scheme, the following work was done: 1,100 km of tertiary road built or rehabilitated, 52 community structures constructed (schools, wooden bridges, etc); 50 km of dikes and dams built, 183 km of canals, two reservoirs, and more than 1,400 ponds and wells; more than 143,000 trees planted and 2,430 latrines built.
The WFP's principal donors are Japan, Australia, USA, Germany, Canada, Sweden, the Netherlands and Britain.
Hansen has been replaced by Thomas Keusters. She leaves Cambodia today (August 27) for a position at WFP's Rome headquarters as human resource director. She said this was unconnected with the rice scandal, that she had completed her three-year assignment.
three investigating teams to the WFP rice diversion racket and Sean Visoth, a Council of Ministers spokesman, says their inquiries are showing up some discrepancies in the WFP's figures that may result in the final agreed compensation being less than $2 million.
"The government is committed to dealing with corruption under the adopted Rectangular Strategy and we are taking this case very seriously. We must set an example of accountability," he said.
"Our main objective, working together with the WFP, is to determine precisely how much rice was stolen or lost; to identify those responsible, and to punish them appropriately. After that, we can discuss the amount of compensation that we should pay.
"The rice diverted has been shared among many different stakeholders including government officials at provincial level, NGO sub-contractors, WFP staff and commune chiefs.
"Our investigators have gone to some of the work sites to carry out their own measurements to compare with the WFP's and already we are seeing some differences which have been accepted by the WFP chief investigator. In Kampot where the discrepancy was estimated at 41 percent by WFP, we have found it to be only 29 percent. The government would not be willing to compensate for the activities of WFP staff.
Visoth said he thought there would have been "less than 100" people benefiting from the fraud at all levels among government stakeholders. | 2019-04-19T22:49:11 | https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/government-2-million-rice-fraud |

Having a good knowledge about the essence of marriage is proper for partakers in this institution to act according to the design of the institution. It is also proper so that those who partake in the marriage institution can fully benefit from all its intent and purposes.
Marriage is an institution initiated by God. He ordained and blessed it. He has reasons for instituting marriage. Marriage is a gift from God. He initiated and instituted it. It is all about comfort, sharing, mutual joy and companionship.
“Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised” – Proverbs 31:30. Your praise and sought after are based on good moral, good character and having the fear of God.
Every lady that has attained the age of marriage wants to marriage a man of her dream; may be a man who is hard working, handsome, rich and of good character. Unfortunately, not all women who have this dream achieve it.
Want to Marry a Man of Your Dream?
Ladies should know that it takes patience to work out anything good. Anything that comes your way with ease should be properly scrutinized because there is nothing good that comes so easy. Do no rush yourself into marriage because you feel that you are getting too old. No man would want in this present day to carry a liability into his house.
Beards: Where Did They Go?
There are so many things we have fought for as women and having the ability to give back is something we should take advantage of. In addition to the positive psychological effects we can help save the world.
Some advice on how to get the ladies to want you.
Have you experienced your own particular moment, or do you lay awake at night wondering when, if ever, it will arrive? | 2019-04-23T10:43:43 | http://beyondjane.com/tag/pride/ |
The current house band has been on staff since we, Ty Brown, were replaced back in September of ’03. They back up the highly paid headliners and are required to know all the headliners’ material, as well as perform the last set during the week alone. They are an excellent group of players who tour with nationally-known acts on a regular basis. They have done great work for the four-plus years there, having to be proficient in various music styles such as blues (of course), pop, R&B, jazz, country, reggae, and soul. The guys would rehearse early in the mornings despite getting off late at night.
The year for a working local musician goes like this, generally; busy in the spring and summer, not so busy in the early fall, booked solid during the Christmas season, and hibernating in January and February!
At BB’s in Memphis, the year is about the same, except that Memphis in May is a BOOMING time for them. Beale Street is the main tourist attraction in Memphis — Elvis notwithstanding — and BB King’s club is the premier spot on the street.
I’m no business expert, but I know that a club like that establishes its budget around the busy season and lives off the fat in the slow time. I’ve been told that that is how they do it. Landscapers operate the same way. It is (usually) understood that musicians in a house band are employees just like the rest of the staff, and as such, have a set salary. The pay doesn’t fluctuate like gas prices or my blood pressure. It has never been my experience that this has been the case. Until now.
Now, these guys had done nothing to warrant this pay cut, and they should have quit. The hard fact is that the GM was telling the truth. She could bring in some hacks to play five hours for fifty dollars a man or less(!) and the average tourist would not know the difference because they would have no other point of reference and would be so caught up in the whole “Beale Street Experience” that they wouldn’t notice the poor musical quality. Musicians around here don’t stick together, and the union is feckless. There is some bad music on that street sometimes.
I was told that she said that the pay would go back up in the summer, but who’s to say? If they went for this — taking less money and liking it — they will go for anything. If the GM has shown no conscience or loyalty to the band up to this point, why would she be expected to when times “get good” again? All she is concerned with is the bottom line. It is the classic corporate model. Quality suffers while the bosses get richer. Look at all the plastic they put on cars now… But they are ten times more costly to own.
I’ll bet the managers didn’t take a pay cut!
This club can probably go the whole year from what they make from May until Labor Day. I was told by a lower-level manager once when I was in the house band that on a particular Saturday night while we were playing, the club was so packed, the band was so good, that they made 10,000 dollars on food and alcohol in one hour!!
It is funny: The musicians are the reason why these clubs even exist. The musicians are the ones who take thoughts and make them into art. Yet when there is “fat” to be trimmed, the musicians always get cut. Beale Street, BB Kings Club, would be just a restaurant were it not for the live music, and good musicians. But we always get the snotty end of the stick at these times.
I, personally, would have told the GM to go ahead and get some hacks to take the stage. My abilities don’t depend on HER, they depend on those who care to enjoy the ART of good musicianship. Another gig can be found without being insulted in this way. See how long the club would remain the premier spot with some crusty old dude in a orange suit sittin’ on a bucket playing an out-of-tune guitar with four strings on it. If jazz has only a niche audience, in all its elegance, think how small an audience there would be for gutbucket blues 24/7.
The Bible says that for a time the injustices of man seem to go unpunished. The wicked seem to prosper. This may be one of those times, and I must fight to accept it. But I’m not wired like that! I had to at least say something! I can’t stand unfairness. Before you say it, No, BB isn’t involved with the running of these clubs that bear his name.
Tonight (Monday, new year’s eve) I am playing a party. I’d BETTER be! This is the biggest gig night of the year for a musician. My gig will pay me almost six times my normal amount. It is about a forty minute drive from home at a casino in Tunica, Mississippi.
I found out by text message at about 1 AM last night that the 5 o’clock sound check is mandatory. Now, normally, sound checks don’t involve me because I am just the sax player/background singer and I don’t have to set up any amps or pedals or anything. Usually the boss will tell me to just get there about thirty minutes ahead of time to check my mics and everything. I assumed that today would be no different.
My wife hates her job. One of the reasons is that, for example, today she has to work. (She works every Christmas Eve, too.) She gets off at five. I watch Max during the day, and she takes over when she gets home. See where I’m going?
I text messaged the bandleader, who has always been reasonable about stuff like this — even on big gigs, to ask what I was supposed to do about sound check since I had Max and that Kathy didn’t get off till five.
What am I supposed to do? I wrote.
In less than a minute his reply was, That’s not my problem.
So, as far as he knew, my wife would have to leave work early, or I would have to bring the baby with me to sit around and wait for two hours just for me to say, “Check, one two, one two” and come back home and get ready for a gig that won’t start till about 9:30!
Let me inform you here that for the type of gigs I usually do, sound check is a COLOSSAL waste of time. We all knew that if the time was set for five PM, they would not even start running cables until the entire rhythm section was set up. Why did I have to be there at 5? I HATE with a passion having my time manipulated and wasted!
Heck, the boss — whose problem it was not — didn’t even get there until 5:20! When I got there at 4:50 or so, the drummer was the only one there!
Okay, lately, I’ve been mulling and praying over the idea of starting my own band. I have a lonnnng list of grievances with my bandleader, the latest of which is the fact that I went the entire Christmas season without playing ONE Christmas party! This is usually the season to be jolly, pocket-wise! Meanwhile, he has been playing with other bands (he is the bass player in the band), renting out his audio gear, and is going to Singapore next week with a blues singer.
I’m not jealous at all. The thing is that we, his band, have been either sitting at the house, or scraping to find work while all the other bands are booked up. Part of the reason why he gets so much more than I do is because it is his job to deal with the agents and the clients, and to find us work! He expects us to be available when he books a gig, but his incentive to do so has been compromised because he has so many less stressful outlets by which to make money.
When airing my grievances to the other guys (the boss basically blew me off and tried to string me along when I tried to talk to him), they felt that it was my job to take care of mine, and that when it was all boiled down, Bossman was looking after his OWN family.
I always said that I didn’t want to form a band of my own until I got a manager to deal with all the headaches — lateness, drunkenness, drugs, irresponsibility, laziness, skirt-chasing, etc.
I talked to a few guys, none but one of whom plays in the band with me regularly, about the particulars and possibilities of doing this.
“When I get enough cash to make a record, will you work with me on it?
I asked around to get the tenor of the times, so to speak, and a lot of guys wanted to get on board.
The thing is this: Was Bossman’s attitude so cold towards me earlier because he had somehow heard about my possible plans? I was very discreet, but my wife seemed to think that was the case. I felt that since I was not doing him wrong by trying to support myself — without taking any of his guys with me — he had no reason to be upset. Besides, I was only just thinking about it! I wasn’t trying to burn any bridges. The river’s too wide to try to swim back across!
Everyone had told me to play it cool and not to go off, even though he had it coming! I’m terrible at the poker-face.
So it’s 5:30, and everyone was at the venue, but nothing was set up, and the lone sound man was dragging his feet. Setting up a stage this size is an hour job for three or four guys, so having just one didn’t bode well for us, time-wise. And I had to go all the way back home to get dressed.
Most of the other guys had brought their clothes, but, as I tersely related to the foot-dragger, I didn’t assume that I would not be able to return home from a 5 o’clock sound check for a gig that started at freekin’ 9:30! That’s why I didn’t want to go all that way in the first place! I knew they would be piddling around with my time!
He made a smart remark that left me biting a hole in my lip.
The funny thing is this: When the boss saw me, he smiled, said, “What up,” and proceeded to pass out calendars for next year! As if all this down time were just a blip! He was totally oblivious!
If he were planning to pre-emptively fire me, he surely wouldn’t be doing that!
At 6:40, 6: doggone 40, the lead singer walks in cool as iced tea, and nobody raised an eyelash. Now if he could do that, why did I, as far as the bandleader knew, have to get my wife to leave work early and lose money for me to sit around for two hours before any microphones were turned on?!? Why was it so crucial that I be there to stew in my own suppressed anger with nothing to do but watch the “Beverly Hillbillies” marathon backstage on Nick at Nite?
At 6:45, we were ready to check the mics and the instruments. The lead singer’s mic was awful, and the sound man, frustrated by his lack of help, and by our absence of sound check etiquette (everyone was checking stuff all at the same time. I hate that), snapped at us.
This, this set the boss off, and he proceeded to curse the guy out as I walked past them both on my way to the car for the forty minute trip home to eat and change. I thought it was interesting that he went to bat for the guy who showed up an hour and forty minutes late, but left me to fend for myself earlier without even a thought.
All night during the show, he tried to crack jokes with me and make light while I concentrated on being professional, and sang on a mic that wasn’t even on! I couldn’t even be phoney enough to make eye contact with him.
As the lead singer butcherized the words to “Auld Lang Syne,” my decision was being hardened with every beat.
I told Kathy about all of this when I got home.
Happy New Year, dear readers! I love you all. Thanks for indulging me in this endeavor, and for encouraging me. May God bless you as He has blessed me, and may He give you the nervous anticipation and hope that He has given me as we all embark on this new journey called 2008.
Yeah, I play the saxophone. Mostly, right now, I play section stuff in r&b bands doing clubs, occasional casinos, and various parties. I want to front my own band, but with all of the drama that goes on with guys showing up late, getting drunk, forgetting parts, and other musician stuff, I’ve declared that I would not get my own band until I got a manager to deal with all that junk!
I see a lot of stuff. Things that make me laugh, things that make me angry, and things that make me pray! I’ve seen guys do things that I can’t figure out how to clean up enough to write about that would make you fall out laughing.
Curtis plays trumpet with us sometimes, along with Marc. On this night he was playing with the house band, of which he is the leader.
Anyway, Curtis confronts this guy, a part-time bodyguard and full-time drug seller Darryl, I believe he is named, about the cash, and the argument escalates until Darryl, about 6′-4″, 280, draws him outside where his unnamed accomplice sneaks up behind him and knocks him down. (Curtis had slippery-bottomed dress shoes on, and it was drizzling outside.) After they get him down, they proceed to peel his head open with a music stand! All this while the band was onstage! Nobody helped him. A couple of the guys were mad at him about band stuff, and I guess the others were reluctant to maybe get shot. That was real messed up, though, for them to let that happen to him.
Curtis got a concealed weapon permit shortly thereafter. He said that he wasn’t takin no more “A” whuppins!
Apparently the night before, Curtis (A lot of stuff happened to Curtis, but he always lands on his feet. Except for that last time…) was hanging out at the bar. He wasn’t working that night, just hanging. His wallet came up stolen. So, I guess the guy who stole it, not knowing that the guy he stole it from actually WORKS in the place(!), was at the front window bar posing as guess who?! The manager on duty (foolishly?) calls Curtis at home and tells him about it and that the guy is running up charges on his card but not to worry that he has him on ice.
Curtis, I guess, gets this new gun and shoots down to the club. We’re onstage while all this is going on.
So, anyway Curtis gets out of the truck, a Tahoe with big, shiny rims on it, and decides against bringing the gun in. See, the cops set up shop right outside the front door of the club.
Okay, now we’re back to the point at which I see all the blue lights.
So, they got Curtis on the ground, right? And they got guns drawn on him, and feet and knees and stuff on his neck, and they’re shouting and cussing at him, okay? And Curtis was thinking, “I wasn’t gone shoot the guy, I was just gone persuade ‘im. Scare him a little bit.” He didn’t get a chance to say none of that to the cops. Too much aaasphalt in his mouth.
We were almost through with our second of three sets when all this came together, so when we ended the last song, I shot out the side door and ran around to see what had happened. See, a waitress came to the front of the stage and told the lead singer that Curtis had been arrested, and he told ME. So all I knew at that time was that my padnuh (friend) was in the “back seat.” As I approached the car, his girlfriend (I GOTTA tell you about HER!) beseeched me, “Tell him to bee qwiiiiet! Carlos almos’ had him out, but hee won’t quit cussin’ the po-leece out!” Translation: They were about to let him go, but his persistent belligerence negated that possibility.
Curtis said through the tiny crack in the window, with his arms politely behind his back, something like, “Man fornicate these cops! I tole them I had a permit, but they ain’t lissen!” That was probably because cops don’t generally like to be cursed out by gun-toting Black guys. Permit or no permit. If he had just calmly let them slam him to the ground, everything would have been sorted out with only minor cuts and bruises. Better yet, if he had adhered to the law that states that you can’t have a pistol where alcohol is sold and left his gat in the truck, I would have no story to tell.
As it was, Carlos, the manager, was able to get the thief locked up, but unable to keep Curtis from going to jail. It was a CIRCUS! We were back onstage playing “Brick House”(I hate that tune!), or some other drivel, and Curtis was in the back seat of a police car in the front window of the club where he worked, spitting and cursing, and about to go to the BIG house while the actual criminal was in the car next to him chillin! They spent the night in the SAME JAIL!! The folks in the club looked like they were watching a tennis match, heads going back and forth from the band to the front window.
Remind me to tell you about the time one of his women tried to run him over. Or the time Larry, another singer, got mad and walked out while we were playing his intro music… Or the time Bill C. took a deaf groupie to his hotel room and tried to whisper “sweet nothings” to her in the dark! Naw, I can’t figure out how to tie a Christian tail on that one. Peace. | 2019-04-19T21:04:45 | https://maxdaddy.wordpress.com/category/on-the-job/ |
Loss is a component of our life, but it can elicit complex and difficult emotions. Losses come in many types and different magnitudes; they can range from something relatively minor (such as the losing a cherished item) to major events (like losing a loved one). A significant loss is synonymous with a reduction of resources in the life of the person, as in losing someone or something. The role of attachment is inherent in the experience of loss. The most dramatic losses of our lives are connected to attachment figures.
The experience of loss has a subjective as well as an objective dimension. They are not necessarily correlated, because a person can have the subjective experience of a major loss, while others may perceive it differently. However, in the case of the most dramatic losses, such as death, divorce, a terminal illness, or the loss of home or employment, the subjective and objective evaluations are highly correlated. Whatever the correlation between the objective and subjective experiences, losses are inherently traumatizing.
People try to live their lives out as a meaningful system – ever searching for a reason as to why things happen. The search for meaning is ambivalent here, because it depends on the characteristics of the individual and the specifications of the situation. The psychology and therapy of loss necessarily focus on the subjective experience of the individual. The experience of loss is, in most cases, associated with grief and mourning. Grieving has five distinct stages: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance. The first four stages of grief do not represent the acceptance of the loss. Only the last stage of the grieving process is associated with coming to terms with it. As the process can be very lengthy and not everyone is able to reach the final stage, acceptance, the help of professionals can be very useful.
Feel you are having a chain of losses?
Individuals suffering from a loss often feel that their losses happen in multiples, and the events of losses follow each other as a chain. Losing something can have the effect of bereavement – one that refuses to heal over time or takes a very long time to heal. However, the reactions to multiple losses are mediated by the belief in justice and the deserved nature of losses.
The experience of loss, coping, and adaptation after the experience depends on the capacities of the individual, the ability to live in an altered environment, or the individual style of coping, such as intellectual or emotion-focused. Individual coping has strong associations with the appraisal of stressors. A loss and, in this sense, a stressor has a more profound effect on our lives if it concerns the most important areas of our lives, if it affects more than one area, or if it is prolonged. There are similarities in the process of grief and the way individuals evaluate their losses and cope with them, but we cannot forget that every loss is an individual story.
Emotion focused therapy has a basic assumption that you have to arrive at a place before you leave it. The experiences of loss are often connected to maladaptive emotional memories of past childhood losses. Activating old memories and reconsolidating them by assimilating new memories are an important part of the therapeutic process. Loss can trigger implicit schemes of emotions about inadequacy, blame or insecurity. Individuals experiencing loss have a self that is organized by vulnerability. When they lose, their resilience is lost and so is their ability to rely on their strengths and mastery. With emotion focused therapy, the feelings of sadness and the sense of deprivation can be processed adequately and this can represent the core of the treatment. Feelings can be extremely strong, but they are natural concomitants of the experience of loss. Emotion focused therapy offers empowerment to the suffering individual with access to his or her adaptive emotions. Reconnection with the self and the environment, as well as soothing the pain associated with the event are also vital parts of the therapeutic process. Emotion focused therapy aims to help clients develop their emotional experiences with the access to primary adaptive emotional responses in such situations. The normal interruptions during the therapy process mirror the losses of attachment bonds from the childhood. Therefore, they are able to explain the internal methods and templates the clients use to construct their own relationships.
Clients can do a great deal for themselves during the time of dealing with the effects of loss. They should care about their health, seek out social support (apart from professional help), actively express their emotions, and realize that pain is an inherent part of the process of losing someone or something dear. | 2019-04-25T08:15:26 | https://emotion-focused.com.au/loss/ |

The conventional manner of learning how to program is to become admission into a college and receive a degree in computer science. If you operate the program and after that you see it does not display the proper output on the screen, this is the point where a logic error can happen. Finding the program to run efficiently and display the proper output is extremely challenging because when you compose the program, you've got to have a really good solid general idea of the concepts that you're using to finish the endeavor. Just compiling the program isn't good enough. You also must run the program to make sure it displays the output which you would love to see on the monitor. A computer program is just a set of instructions, which has been written in a specific computer language to meet up with the end benefits.
Not everybody is interested in turning into a programmer. Computer programmers usually have to be conversant with different different programming languages. They can then understand what you are doing. Many successful gaming programmers in the business don't have any formal education in video programming.
When deciding a career in computer programming, you need to decide first, what kind of programming you would like to do. Even if computer programming doesn't have anything to do with your present job, showing you may take initiative to learn something new will impress the folks above you. If you would like a beginner friendly method to start programming, which isn't hard to pick up and is going to have each of the features a beginner requires, then a simpler `code editor' may be exactly the thing for you. In other words, programming is merely the practice of helping a computer understand what you would like it to do. System programming, in short, involves various specialized career branches, all which are directed at bettering the internal code and the operation of the operating system, alongside other system components.
Whatever you do on a computer was written in some type of programming language. It is possible to also install it on a computer that you already own (its great if you've got an old machine with an outdated OS), and you may even utilize it on your present computer whilst still keeping your routine operating system! It is by far the most basic kind of software in any computer system, which is necessary for different programs, applications and indeed for the entire computer system to work. There are various types of computer software that are useful for many purposes. The necessary software ought to be installable on all important operating systems. Code editor software makes programming a lot easier, by earning your code more readable and offering you a selection of handy capabilities. It will supply you with all the programing tools you require, together with compilers.
As soon as you start to comprehend how a programming language works, you will have the ability to compose your own programs! A programming language is what you'd rewrite the algorithm into so the computer understands what you would like it to do. Scratch is a completely free programming language and internet community where you're able to make your own interactive stories, games, and animations. As a way to do that though you must learn a minumum of one programming language. Programming languages define the idea of a First Class Citizen. So designing a Turing-incomplete language in which you may write all helpful programs is still an exact long-term research objective.
Syntax allows the building of semantics. You just need to learn the syntax or grammar of the greater level programming languages and compose the code in it, which is subsequently interpreted and executed by means of a computer. Semantics manage the meaning a set of characters convey when arranged in a specific way. Then the solution has to be converted into the appropriate syntax of a programming language. Obviously, it doesn't do us any good to demonstrate our code correct in Coq, and hand-translate it to some other language, making mistakes on the way. When you begin writing your code you will discover that the program adds colour coding to make it even more readable.
You certainly must have strong analytical abilities and an eye for detail. No specific previous understanding of the topic is needed, since the course introduces all necessary concepts. Indisputably, computer programming skills are the absolute most recognized attributes within this field. An exhaustive understanding of computer programming is vital. A fundamental comprehension of computer programming terminologies as well as a strong interest in exploring different programming languages is going to be the prerequisites for people who want to sign up for this training. Learning to code is also an extremely valuable skill for children to learn. It focuses on interactive lessons teaching how to really produce and build projects with quite a few programming languages. | 2019-04-23T02:15:09 | https://csprojecthelp.xyz/coq-programming/ |

Dimensions - Will the wheelchair user fit comfortably into the vehicle?
For most wheelchair/vehicle combinations, chair width and length is not a problem. However the different vehicles have different internal heights. The 'showroom' section of this website clearly shows the internal headroom of each vehicle so that you can ensure that it is suitable. Don't forget to leave a little clearance. Generally most vehicles will take a chair width of up to 29ins. Please consult us for advice if your wheelchair is wider than this.
Forward view is important to many people. As a general rule, the taller the wheelchair user the less the forward view. For most customers, we are able to suggest a suitable vehicle, but unfortunately for a few, there may have to be a compromise. However, most people are able to find a vehicle to suit.
We get many calls about the VAT status of the vehicles. As a general rule, if the vehicle is purchased for the use of a person who uses a wheelchair, the VAT will be charged at 0% i.e. no VAT will be charged. If the vehicle is purchased for a commercial purpose e.g. Private Hire, Taxis etc then VAT will be charged on top of our prices shown at 20%.
or you receive War Pensioners Mobility Supplement.
As a general rule, those of our customers who have become disabled after retirement date, will not receive the Road Fund Licence exemption. Full details are available on DVLA leaflet V188.
The Blue Badge Scheme provides a national arrangement of parking concessions primarily for people with severe walking difficulties who travel either as drivers or passengers.
Badge holders are entitled to the following general concessions on-street.
The scheme does not apply to off-street car parks such as supermarket or local authority car parks.
Local authorities administer the scheme and determine whether applicants are eligible for a badge. If you think you may be entitled to a badge you should apply to the Social Services Department of your local authority.

There’s no question that the gender pay gap is firmly on the agenda. From today, all organisations with more than 250 employees are legally required to collect data on the gap between the average hourly pay of the men and women who work there. And they’ll need to report on their figures by 4th April each year, starting in 2018.
Clearly, asking companies to report on this issue is a positive step – and a much needed one. A 2016 assessment of the gender pay gap from the Institute of Fiscal Studies put it at 18%, and Deloitte have predicted that, at the current rate of change, we won’t hit true pay parity until 2069. Frankly, we can’t afford to wait that long.
It follows, then, that if we can make flexible working work for all, we can accelerate the narrowing of the gender pay gap. And that’s going to be more critical than ever once organisations are required to publish their figures; your reputation as a fair employer, and your ability to attract and retain the best talent, will depend on it.
At an organisational level, there are some core principles that you need to embed in order to make flexible working work, from creating a supportive culture to thinking about the best way to design flexible jobs. It’s not rocket science, but it won’t happen by accident; our training and consultancy programmes can help.
But at a wider level, it’s the job market itself that needs fixing. Our research shows that only 8.7% of quality jobs are advertised as being open to flexibility at the point of hire; that means people who need to work flexibly only have 1 in 10 jobs to apply for. It’s no wonder so many of them end up stuck in low-paid roles beneath their skill set; there’s nowhere else for them to go.
That’s why, last year, we launched our Hire Me My Way campaign, calling on organisations of all shapes and sizes to advertise flexibility at the point of hire. So far, more than 30 major organisations have signed up to the campaign, unlocking thousands of quality jobs to flexible working; we hope you’ll consider joining us, too.
So our call to employers today is, start as you mean to go on. Be prepared to shout about the fact that you believe in flexible working and you know how to make it work. Develop a recruitment strategy based on finding the most talented people you can, and be prepared to flex your roles to suit them.
It’s a sure-fire way to improve your gender pay gap figures. The evidence suggests it will improve your profits and boost your productivity. But, most importantly, it will mean you’re playing your part in a much-needed job market revolution – and that’s good news for all of us. | 2019-04-19T18:44:09 | https://www.forster.co.uk/insight/gender-pay-gap-still-problem-flex-fix/ |

However, many people panic when they find out they are under investigation, causing them to make mistakes that are detrimental to their cases. This is a big deal, because although white collar crimes often do not carry the same stigma as violent or drug-related offenses, these kinds of charges are quite serious, and in some cases can even have more severe criminal consequences than violent crimes or drug crimes.
Depending on the offense in question, you could face felony-level charges, punishable by lengthy prison sentences, hefty criminal fines, and even restitution.
Below, we’re going to review common mistakes people make while under investigation for white collar crime, and how to avoid making these mistakes over the course of your case.
Importantly, most errors made on your part during an investigation for white collar crime can and will be used against you. In fact, in many cases, law enforcement counts on defendants to make errors that stack the deck in the prosecution’s favor.
On the flip side, in many situations it may be possible to get your case thrown out entirely if, with the help of your attorney, you are savvy during the investigation. You can do this in part by avoiding the three common white collar investigation errors we’re going to go over.
In any legal matter, silence is golden. White collar crime investigations are particularly fact-based. Investigators and prosecutors compile the most damning evidence against you to attempt to convict you. Often, some of the most important evidence is obtained by questioning the defendant.
If you are under investigation, be aware that anything and everything you say to anyone (other than your attorney) can and will be used against you. This rule applies not only to law enforcement officials and prosecutors, but also to your friends, neighbors, relatives, and even your spouse.
If anyone at all attempts to question you about the investigation, tell them that you are unable to discuss the matter without your lawyer present. He or she is the only person you should be talking to.
Your white collar crime defense lawyer is your trusted advocate, and will do everything possible to defend against the charges you face. However, failing to tell your attorney important facts about the case will severely impair his or her ability to defend your case.
Due to attorney-client privilege, your lawyer is required to keep anything you tell him or her in strictest confidence. You should therefore trust your attorney with any and all details of the alleged crime. Being as forthcoming as possible will help them assess what evidence could be found against you, and therefore to develop the best possible defense.
If you learn that you are being investigated for a white collar crime, your first inclination may be to alter or destroy any evidence that could be used against you.
Don’t do it! These actions are considered to be evidence of wrongdoing, and in fact may be even more incriminating than the evidence you were attempting to alter or destroy.
Be aware that investigators are looking not only for evidence against you, but also specifically for whether it has been altered. Further, investigators have many means for discovering evidence that you may have attempted to destroy.
If you are being investigated for white collar crime, you should absolutely take the matter seriously. A big part of that, however, involves treading carefully and understanding the potential repercussions of every action you might take.
An experienced lawyer will be able to guide you through this process, all while helpingyou through this process, all while helping you craft the best possible white collar crime defense. | 2019-04-22T08:37:09 | https://www.diegocriminaldefense.com/what-not-to-do-if-under-investigation-for-a-co-white-collar-crime/ |

I am super grateful they are giving their time to read my book. I am an unknown after all and there are always lots of books to read, and from my end it could always go more than a little pear shaped if they hate it.

CREWE, Va – Southside Electric Cooperative (SEC) V.P. of Member and Public Relations Ron White has completed an intensive program in electric utility management with the University of Wisconsin.
The Robert I. Kabat Management Internship Program (MIP) is a series of workshops offered by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin.
The program guides participants through all facets of the electric utility industry, including the many changes occurring around the nation.
White is one of only a few electric utility employees across the country that will graduate from the program this year.
MIP participants go through three 10-day sessions designed to challenge and educate participants in new, innovative management techniques. Participants leave with a better understanding of what members want and how to ensure they get it.
By also covering the unique principles that govern the operations of electric cooperatives, the program helps the co-op analyze other business ventures it may want to enter as well as enhancing the core organization.
Only rural electric cooperative CEOs and top-level management participate in the program. This allows greater emphasis of study on management challenges and the aspects of member-ownership that cooperatives enjoy. Participants learn to focus on member value as part of day-to-day decision making.
White has completed one of the most exclusive educational programs in the nation for electric cooperative management. | 2019-04-24T05:48:12 | http://sec.coop/content/sec%E2%80%99s-ron-white-completes-management-internship-program |

People looking for a stylish premium crossover with a posh badge can choose between many brands nowadays, one of them being Maserati.
The buy a Levante is the brand’s first-ever SUV, and it’s supposed to be sporty and at the same time elegant.
Doug DeMuro got hold of one and, well, let’s just say that he had more than a few reservations. His biggest issue with the Levante is the price tag: the model shown here is a base-spec version, yet it costs almost $20,000 more than an entry-level BMW X5.
Inside, the Levante has a few quirks, such as its pyramid-style center console dials or the fact that there is no physical button for the heated seats – you have to access the main infotainment screen first.
On a positive note, he really did enjoy driving it around, saying that it not only sounds great for a V6, but the ride quality is good and the handling is very impressive, too.
Maserati’s planned production shutdowns over the holiday season will be reportedly extended in order to reduce vehicle stocks.
The Grugliasco and Mirafiori factories will stop producing Maseratis until mid-January, Automotive News reports citing union sources.
The Grugliasco factory, which builds the Ghibli and Quattroporte models, will remain closed for four weeks and up until January 15 when last year the facility was shut for three weeks over the Christmas and NY holiday period.
Similarly production of the Levante SUV at the Mirafiori plant will stop from December 20 to January 15. Last year the line was stopped for only one additional day beyond statutory holidays and weekends. The Modena factory, home to the Granturismo and Grancabrio, is going to reopen on January 8 after stopping production on December 15.
Maserati declined to comment on the shutdown schedule while the FIOM union head Federico Bellono said that he was unsure if the longer production stops is caused by the declining sales in China or a structural decline in general sales. “It is clear that production is slowing down and investment in new models is on hold,” he said.
Maserati claims it isn’t in a hurry to launch a second crossover, despite acknowledging the fact that midsize SUVs are the fastest growing sector in the industry.
Speaking to Motor 1 at the ongoing LA Auto Show, Maserati boss Reid Bigland said there “isn’t any big rush” for Maserati to make a second SUV that will join the Levante in its range.
Interestingly, Bigland’s statement comes just four weeks after Fiat Chrysler Automobiles chief executive Sergio Marchionne said Maserati was intending on launching a second SUV by 2020.
Although Bigland is remaining tight-lipped about the second SUV, Marchionne told the media last month that the vehicle will use the Giorgio rear-wheel drive / all-wheel drive platform of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, rather than the platform used by the Levante and Ghibli.
According to Bigland, any possible SUV to slot below the Levante must be clearly differentiated from its Alfa Romeo sibling and worthy of the more expensive price tag.
The Levante is poised to become one of Maserati's top-selling models. So what's an owner to do in order to set his or her Italian crossover aside from all the others hitting the street?
Available in two distinct trim levels, the GranLusso and GranSport, the Maserati Levante S has joined its diesel sibling in the United Kingdom.
Brabus, along with their subsidiary Startech, have brought a great deal of luxury models to this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, from 900 PS beasts to sportier-looking Land Rovers.
The Maserati Levante has been a stunning success and it appears the model will soon gain a high-performance variant.
Maserati has been working on revisions for every model in its lineup, and has shown some of them to us already. The Frankfurt Motor Show represents the first time they've all appeared under the same roof – with a couple of small additions, too.
This custom tuning package consists of about eight extra carbon fiber elements, all of them meant to add a touch of sportiness to one of the world's most dynamic SUVs.
There was a time, and it wasn't so long ago, that “exotic” in terms of automobiles meant coupes and convertibles. Maybe high-end sedans. But those times are behind us as the age of exotic SUVs comes into its own.
After launching their first SUV, the Levante, last year, Maserati are now marching towards an electrified future, with a plug-in hybrid version of the vehicle. | 2019-04-19T22:11:46 | http://100hotcars.info/?cat=4865 |

Welcome to Bill Rosser's blog about technology and creativity!
I stop at a gas station/quickie-mart type place for coffee. I stop here every night about the same time. The girl behind the counter asks "What exactly do you do? You're in here every night. Don't you ever get a day off?"
To which I reply, "I'm an entrepreneur, and, no I'm on the go constantly. I rarely have a day off."
I continue, "I'm senior partner at a technology consulting firm, and I have an Internet Investment company."
"OK", she responds as I think a bit more.
"Oh, and I also work as a semi-professional musician.", I add as I start to walk away.
"It keeps me busy", I say as I reach the door. "And I have a business with my son in South Carolina."
Through a sheepish smile she says, "Well, you have a nice day anyway."
As I started the car I wondered what she meant by "have a nice day anyway". I hit the radio button and the local station is playing "Too much time on my hands ...". Is this a sign? Maybe it's time to organize my priorities.
So, have a nice day ... anyway!?
Being an entrepreneur always seems to mean having way too much left to do at the end of the day. Such is my case. There’s always “just one more thing”, yea, just one more thing. Most of the time, trying to get out the door to get to a meeting or other appointment is like trying to reschedule World War II … it just ain’t going to happen.
Everywhere I look, I seem to be finding new opportunities and interesting things to do. The problem is finding time to squeeze it all in. This blog is a perfect example. I’ve already been going for nearly 18 hours, and I still have a lot of important things that should have been done today; just not enough time, but I’m working on that.
3. If you can’t work where you are, go someplace else.
4. Most things can’t wait until tomorrow, some things have to.
5. Work on whatever pays the bills.
6. Ignore the phone for a few hours.
7. McDonalds has Wi-Fi; have your email with a burger and fries.
8. Caffeine makes the 20 hour work day almost bearable.
9. If you write software in your dreams, keep the laptop near the bed.
10. If you get one of those brilliant ideas, for the love of God, pull off the road before trying to write it down. | 2019-04-21T03:03:45 | http://www.myblogbutton.com/index.php |

The Curie’s Children [glow boys, radon daughters] workshop allows the uninitiated to easily enter into a physical and intuitive relation to nuclear and atomic processes, following simple hands-on experimentation, construction and research. This relation promotes an understanding of the complex issues surrounding contemporary uses of nuclear and atomic technologies, which could inform and help to formulate an artistic “response”.
As part of the Case Pyhäjoki project in 2013, Berger and Howse designed a minimal, low budget geiger radiation detector which is fast and simple to build. The detector serves as an introduction for the workshop participants to start a relationship with the complex political, economic and artistic positions orbiting the phenomena of nuclear decay. During the Curie’s Children [glow boys, radon daughters] workshop participants will be guided through their own construction of the radiation detector device, and will extend this with further investigations, experiments, lectures, discussion, screenings, presentations and field trips.
2.6. 18h: Presentation “Case Pyhäjoki – Artistic reflections on nuclear influence” with Mari Keski Korsu and guests.
3-5.6. 10-18h: Building of radiation detector, experiments and investigations, presentations, screenings and field trips.
Erich Berger is an artist and cultural worker based in Helsinki/ Finland. His interests lie in information processes and feedback structures, which he investigates through installations, situations,performances and interfaces. His current explorations of deep time and hybrid ecology led him to work with radiogenic phenomena.
Through the construction of experimental situations (within process-driven performance, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works and texts, Martin Howse explores the rich links between substance or materials and execution or protocol, excavating issues of visibility and of hiding within the world.
Curie’s Children [glow boys, radon daughters] is a collaboration between the Finnish Society of Bioart, Case Pyhäjoki and Pixelacheand part of the pre-program of Camp Pixelache 2014. | 2019-04-25T11:51:30 | https://pixelache.ac/events/curie-s-children-workshop |

Choosing to flee with the Hebrews, Kiya finds herself reliant on a strange God and drawn to a man who despises her people. With everything she's ever known swept away and now facing the trials of the desert, will she turn back toward Egypt or surrender her life and her future to Yahweh?
When reading about the plagues of Egypt in the time of Moses, it is typically from the Jewish view or from Moses or his family. In Counted with the Stars, we see how the plagues hit Egypt from that of the Egyptian point of view, which for me was refreshing and new. It is something I've wondered, how was it for the people who fought against God's commands to let his people go.
Through this story, we follow Kiya, who was sold into slavery to help pay her families debts. In this time she makes a friend with a young Jewish woman who is also bound to the house through slavery. They each suffer in their own ways, but through their trials, their friendship does grow. When the plagues start, Kiya is lost about what is happening, but with the growing friendship, Kiya learns about her friends beliefs. When the Jewish people are freed, Kiya and her family go with them. It isn't smooth sailing for Kiya and her friends and family through this journey, but it is a journey where she learns and grows. Every character plays a part and helps expands this story. I enjoyed the detail and was sad when the story came to an end.
This was a wonderful story to read. I enjoyed the progression of the characters. I'm so glad that this is the first book of the Out of Egypt series. I can't wait for the next book to come out in November.

The Salon Project got off to a rather dryly cerebral start on Thursday at the Dia Center for the Arts (155 Mercer Street), where the three-program series runs through Nov. 16. Devoted to providing rehearsal space and informal but professional performances to choreographers selected by Susan Osberg and Joan Duddy, curators for the event, the series also got off to a difficult start, though professionalism triumphed, when a dancer in one piece and the choreographer-performer of another were unable to appear at the last moment because of illness.
Neta Pulvermacher's "Cintura," a duet to be danced by Ani Udovicki and Keely Garfield, suddenly became a solo for Ms. Udovicki. Set to haunted music by George Crumb, the solo was a nicely meditative showcase for Ms. Udovicki's fluid, lyrical way of moving. Ms. Osberg's "Soliloquy," substituted for a dance by Sarah Skaggs, had an oddly distanced quality but eventually reached the level of intensity and commitment one might expect from the text, a poem by the choreographer that explored woman's nature. The mysterious score, a sort of cantata for small jungle animals, was composed by Joan La Barbara.
Gina Gibney's "Calibrations" was a spare and shadowed ritual for two men that made inventive use of vertical and horizontal stage patterns, clipped semaphoric arm gestures and brusque walks and slow half-falls. It was danced with just the right dry economy by J. Hammons and Doug Johnson.
Take That Away From Me" and "Our Love Is Here to Stay."
The series, presented on Thursdays and Fridays through Nov. 16, will also feature dance by Santa Aloi, Martha Bowers, Sarah Perron, Theresa Reeves, Pat Cremins, Ms. Garfield, Shelley Lee and Amos Pinhasi. | 2019-04-22T06:56:36 | https://www.nytimes.com/1990/11/05/arts/review-dance-on-rising-above-adversity-and-then-tasting-its-fruits.html |

A safety and quality improvement framework for Victorian health services is an initiative of the Victorian Quality Council (VQC).
Skills for the new millennium delineates a competency framework that will assist future specialists in responding to innumerable challenges as health-care providers - challenges that will require them to function in a health-care system in a constant state of flux and facing increasing fiscal constraints - while providing the best specialty care.
While there has been a long tradition of health care organisations undertaking processes of credentialling and defining the scope of clinical practice of medical practitioners, the application of these processes has varied considerably. | 2019-04-20T16:53:37 | https://surgeons.org/media/college-advocacy/?year=2006 |

"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53: 5 (NKJV).
Bible Readings: 2 Chronicles 20: 20, Genesis 37, Genesis 38: 1-7, Hebrews 10, Hebrews 11, Isaiah 43: 24-28, Ezekiel 36: 33.
The primary reason Jesus came was about the bruising that iniquity causes. If you don't understand what iniquities are, you will continue to suffer in your spiritual life.Inquires sets a pattern that makes you a sinner. Jesus came to set up a new pattern; a pattern of obedience to do the will of God. Until you confess, you have not activated your account. You know about your sins forgiven, but you don't know about the bruising.
You need to know what your rights are. If don't know what they are, the devil will convince you on something else. You've got to activate your account. If you don't activate your account, how will you get what you want. No matter how long you pray, if you don't activate your account, things won't change and you will remain in the same place. Iniquities will cause you to delay the promises of God in your life. Some of the things we are struggling with is based on iniquities.
Everything in the kingdom of God changes by the activation of God's word. What God tells you, you say it back to him. God wants us blessed, so that people can say you can live a godly life and prosper. But if you don't make that connection, you are stuck. If you don't activate your account, you will be miserable. You have the credit but you can't use it because you haven't activated it. When the power of iniquities gets shattered, God will work with and through you.
E can stand for empty for you, but for God it stands for enough. | 2019-04-26T02:01:57 | https://nextgenworshipcentre.org/sermonnotes/2017/4/6/iniquites |
1. Peace of mind is that mental condition in which you have accepted the worst.
2. Forgiving those who hurt us is the key to personal peace.
3. When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves it is useless to seek elsewhere.
4. If we do not find peace in ourselves, we will never find it anywhere else.
5. If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
6. Nothing can bring us peace but ourselves.
7. In a world filled with causes for worry and anxiety -- we need the peace of God standing guard over our hearts.
8. Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of God no matter what the conflict.
9. There may be those on earth who dress better or eat better, but those who enjoy the peace of God sleep better.
10. A man's business is to do the will of God; then God Himself takes on the care of that man; therefore that man ought never to be afraid of anything.

From 1955 to 2015, John D. Dingell served in the US House of Representatives, making him the longest-serving Congressman in the country's history: now, in the Atlantic, he warns that at the 2016 election "put the future of our country in mortal peril," and he proposes four measures to bring it back from the brink.
1. Automatically register every US citizen to vote on their 18th birthday; allow voting with "no photo ID, no residency tests, no impediments of any kind."
2. Eliminate all campaign contributions, without exception. Publicly fund elections.
3. Abolish the Senate or incorporate it into the House of Reps to head off the "demographic crisis" that will see 70% of Americans in just 15 states, with 30 Senators between them; the 30% of the US that lives in the depopulated 35 states will get 70 Senators. Also: abolish the Electoral College.
Now I am an old man. My age bears with it a responsibility to share what I’ve witnessed so that future generations avoid making the same mistakes. My advice always begins with the truth, which is why would-be despots and demagogues try so hard to discredit it. They hate it like the devil hates holy water.
The conduct and outcome of the 2016 presidential election have put the future of our country in mortal peril. After a lifetime spent in public service, I never believed that day would come. Yet it has. And we now find ourselves on the precipice of a great cliff. Our next step is either into the abyss or toward a higher moral ground. Since before the Civil War, we’ve been told that “Providence watches over fools, drunkards, and the United States.” Yet the good Lord also granted us free will. The direction we choose to follow is ours alone to make. We ask only that he guide our choice with his wisdom and his grace.
It’s up to you, my dear friends. | 2019-04-19T20:47:54 | https://boingboing.net/2018/12/05/public-election-funding-no-sen.html |

I have been invited to sell my more fine art images in a local cafe that has an upstairs gallery. The owner has left the printing, pricing and framing up to me with a 30% commission charge on each print if sold. I am told the frames are not that important as the buyer usually changes them to their preference. Perhaps just plain clip frames would be enough to display the image. The prints will be displayed no larger than A3.
Has anyone here had any experience sourcing a printing service that does quality for a good price and generally what price to ask for a hand printed photograph ? These are local-ish to me https://www.kleinimaging.com/ but I am wondering if there is not much difference with say Photobox . My main question is what to charge for a print, factoring in the cost of printing/frames and 30% margin for the cafe owner. It would be a great way of getting work viewed but I have never done this kind of thing before except in my local library almost 30 years ago which was just an exhibition.
It might depend somewhat on whether you live in an affluent area and what kind of customers the café attracts. I sell prints locally in an area which is not very affluent and I would struggle to get more than £40 for a framed A3 print. Generally people are willing to pay more for original artwork than for photographs. The ones that do sell have to be eye-catching.
Or buy Swiss clips, board and glass (or acrylic) separately- making a clip frame isn't difficult to do.
Headline price from my old lab Dunns (no relation) is £5.78 for a 12x16.
Are you going to sell the prints as limited editions? They would command a higher price. We charge £109 for an A3+ limited edition print only and £175 framed. Large framed prints are anything up to £395. We sell direct but also through a couple of outlets that take 30%.
Personally I think a well framed print is more likely to sell than one in a cheap clip frame.
Absolutely. A few years back I was asked to put some photos for sale in a local restaurant. I went the whole hog ("totus porcus" as Jackie Fisher would say) and put them in good frames. The bigger ones (printed at 24 x 16 inches) were in big frames with a wide mat. The title cards I did in Photoshop, with the name of the image and the description typed out in a bold font, all printed on a faded version (photoshop opacity of about 30%) of the described image. I thought that it would be a good practice for me and if a sold a few I would be happy. They sold well, and fast. Even the big ones, which I priced at $400 each, went in the first week. People still respond to a well taken and well printed image. Don't undervalue yourself. You could also print some cards as people will often take a card rather than nothing. Pricing depends on your area as Alan says, but I would say avoid the "bargain bin" look. I think we are all suffering from bargain bin prices in photography. If you choose nice quality frames yourself then they become a part of the artwork and people will keep them. I also have found, through selling to the public quite a bit, that the most appropriate frame and mat for photos are a simple black frame with a black mat. I think you are better to produce fewer well mounted images than a whole heap of clip framed ones. Take your time, get it right and people will respond.
I just had a look and I still have my information and title cards. If you want I can send you one to have a look. You can put your email here or, if you prefer, you can go to my FAA site https://colin-woods.pixels.com/ and leave a comment on a photo. Its worth the time - a lot of people commented on them. I also did a brief biography of myself, which people also liked and commented on. It tells people that they are looking at the visions of a real person, quite important I think, especially in the era of internet anonymity and de-individuation.
Try The Real Picture Frame Company - excellent quality at much better than retail prices. There is a minimum order, but it's only about £250.
This is a bit off-topic (sorry), but you've got some terrific photos on FAA.
Thank you John. All I need now is a few thousand people who feel the same, all armed with credit cards.
Please don't under-price yourself. At the absolute minimum you should be charging £100 for a 16x12 mounted and framed print. Good luck with it.
All valid points here. I had an exhibition 7 years ago in the smaller of two galleries in a local arts centre.
I printed myself, using an Epson R2400 A3+ printer using Epson's pigment inks on to archival papers. I cut my own mounts using a Longridge Duo mount cutter and 40 x 50cm ph neutral mount boards. The prints were hung from the mount with archival tape. I was advised by other photographers not to do my own framing, but other than the frames, at that time I already had everything else. I wanted to keep the cost down, as I knew what framed prints locally sold for.
I had two problems. I left the framing until the last moment, hoping my homes fitted kitchen and other work would be finished first. It wasn't, and I had a devil of a job removing specks of dust from the inside of the frames glass. A sticky roller and cans of air eventually did it. The other issue was not buying a spare frame. Only when hanging in the gallery did a notice an obvious bubble in the glass. Plexiglass may have been better, but weight wasn't an issue with the frame size. After a trip to Bicester to the supplier who supplied the frames, I had to swap out the glass just before the private view opened.
It was a lot of work, and quite a relief when all was done. Was it worth it, perhaps not, but it seemed like it was one of those things you have to try.
As many years have now passed I may have another, but there will be no last minute rush, and will likely seek an area where framed prints would command higher prices. Seven years ago the framed prints sold for £80. At that time I was advised that was the maximum likely selling price based upon the people passing through and other exhibitions. Commission was low, think it was 20%. I still have some that didn't sell hanging at home.
Over the years I have made a few "archival" signed limited edition prints that were sold for display.
can post the image on the World Wide Web is when they are selling the print.
"Steal" or re-license the image?
One of my closest friends was Jim Marshall and I know what he went through with prints.
Our main income for the last 17 years (since giving up commercial photography) has been made from selling prints so yes, it is possible to make money.
Thanks all for the suggestions. Still not exactly sure what way to take it as its a cafe after all that has a gallery so most folk will be average shoppers off the street. Its a popular venue though but the new owner has inherited the gallery that the last people set up so she tells me that it is also new to her too but is open to anything I want to put up (6 images). I have a couple of my own large prints framed at home in Ikea "Riba" frames which have a natural wood. The only thing that lets it down a bit is the overlay is plastic, not glass.
Also, I have still got to decide which images to show.
Like I said, it's all down to location. If the café is in London you'll get far more than if it's in a downtrodden post-industrial town in West Yorkshire which is where I live. I do however have an excellent local printer who will do A3 prints for £5. Before my Epson 1800 gave up the ghost I was printing them myself for about £3.
Completely agree - I held a amall show last year, timed to coincide with a local music festival which brings a great many people to our small town, of pictures from a recent trip to Iceland. Minimum price was £150 for a framed A3, and to my surprise I covered the entire cost of the trip and of putting on the show.
My local craft shop that rents out space. £62.00 for an A4 mounted and framed black and white print. Just a thought make sure you sign them, people like to see a signature so I've been told. | 2019-04-19T12:57:05 | https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/11354-selling-prints-in-a-cafe-gallery/ |

Award Presented by Bishop Thomas Zinkula Sunday, October 22, 2017, 2:00 P.M.
Dr. Widad will meet with the media immediately following the event.
Dr. Widad Akreyi is a Danish health expert, author and human rights activist of Kurdish ancestry who cofounded the human rights organization Defend International.
Born in Aqrah, Kurdistan region, Iraq, in 1969, she fled with her family to Mosul five years later to avoid the Iraq government’s offensive against Kurds. Violations of human rights that occurred during that and other offensives are believed to have shaped her life. She is said to be the first young woman of Middle Eastern descent to engage in advocacy efforts related to illicit trade of small arms and light weapons, gender-based violence, disarmament and international security.
An eyewitness to Saddam Hussein’s chemical attacks and a deadly campaign officially recognized as genocide against the Kurds in 1988, Widad has referred to those atrocities as “the worst time of my life.” (widad.org/about-widad-akreyi/) Dr. Widad was forced to leave her homeland in 1991 because of her peace activism and political affiliations. She sought political asylum in Denmark, where she enrolled in language studies and eventually earned a master’s degree in genetics and genomics and a PhD in global health and cancer epidemiology. She has served as a clinical geneticist at the Royal Hospital in Copenhagen, researching inherited diseases.
Dr. Akreyi has created partner agreements with like-minded, social justice organizations. She launched campaigns to defend the rights of writers, civil society activists, children, women’s rights defenders, and prisoners on death row and on hunger strikes. She also has years of experience in intercultural communication and peace and international conventions. She is a recipient of the Fellowship of Reconciliation Peace Award and received a Special Prize from the National Organization for Future Generations for bridging the gap between cultures.
Previous award recipients include Martin Luther King, Jr.; Dorothy Day; Mother Teresa; Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Eileen Egan; Cesar Chávez; and Daniel Berrigan, SJ.
Award co-sponsors: Diocese of Davenport, St. Ambrose University, Augustana College, The Catholic Messenger, Churches United of the Quad City Area, Islamic Center of Quad Cities, Quad Cities Interfaith, Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities, Muslim Community of the Quad Cities, Congregation of the Humility of Mary, Sisters of St. Benedict, Sisters of St. Francis (Dubuque, Iowa), Sisters of St. Francis (Clinton, Iowa). | 2019-04-24T14:07:41 | https://davenportdiocese.org/news/re-pacem-in-terris-peace-and-freedom-award-2017 |
Mika Barr's Folding A-Part fabric is silkscreen-printed on the back with a heat-reactive polymer, instead of dye, in a triangular pattern. When the polymer cools and hardens, the fabric can then be folded to create three-dimensional shapes. For the Poli Lounge Chair, a collaborative project between Barr and Israeli design studio Producks, the fabric is also used as a mould into which liquid foam is poured. This defines the shape of the seat cushion and simultaneously holds the fabric in place.
The Bounce seating collection by ECAL graduate Véronique Baer moulds around the sitter's body. Made from upholstered foam, the three pieces – Anton (pictured), a thimble shape, Christine, a dome, and Olaf, a cylindrical stool – spring back into shape after the user has stood up. The collection is upholstered in quilted Triangle fabric designed by Bertjan Pot for new Dutch brand Febrik.
Watching people trying to navigate the Canvas seat is almost as fun as trying it out. Designed by Tokyo-based studio Yoy for Innermost, it is seemingly a painting of a chair, sofa or stool on a flat canvas, leaning against the wall. Actually, it is elastane fabric (printed with the texture of a canvas) stretched over a wooden frame, with a hidden seat underneath, allowing the user to sit within the picture.
The Body by Finnish RCA graduate Kirsi Enkovaara is a flexible 6m-long canvas that can be folded, rolled and twisted into various configurations. The mat is filled with rice, making it stay rigid in each position but also providing comfortable cushioning. Enkovaara says the design reflects the tactility of human touch, and "encourages a person to find their choice of sitting by discarding learned cultural norms". A video accompanying her graduate exhibition depicts a conceptual dance with the mat, displaying all the strange sitting positions the design allows. | 2019-04-20T14:18:59 | https://www.onofficemagazine.com/design/item/3177-bending-the-rules-of-seating |

Without a doubt, the best service I have gotten in my 75 years on the planet. They hadn’t profited from the original sale of my ebike, having just recently taken over the brand. Nevertheless they went to the most extrordinary efforts to make good on some serious problems, including the rebuild of the battery (yes they can) and finally replaced the whole bike, That’s huge. That’s peace of mind for anyone thiking of a purchase especially considering the lithium batteries which they can service or replace. Very nice folks with a lot of talent and integrity. Sure turned my frown into a smile. | 2019-04-22T22:42:25 | https://ebikebc.com/testimonials/roy-max/ |

Time: The 20th day of the eighth lunar month - the death anniversary of Tran Hung Dao.
Place: Kiep Bac Temple Hai Duong Province, the estate and garrisoning camp of Tran Hung Dao after the first victory over the Yuan invaders in 1258.
Objects of worship: Tran Hung Dao.
Characteristics: Fighting in the Luc Dau River, boat racing.
Every year, from the 15th to 20th days of the eighth lunar month, tens of thousands of people throughout the country flock to attend the Kiep Bac Temple Festival.
The temple is situated in Hung Dao, Chi Linh Town, Hai Duong Province. It is dedicated to Tran Quoc Tuan, the eminent marshal of the Tran Dynasty, who led the Vietnamese people in the three successful resistance wars against the Yuan-Mongolian invaders in the 13th century. Many people have said that he was also a sorcerer and herbalist. Thanks to his great deeds, he was consecrated as Saint Tran.
The magnificent festival is solemnly organized. In the early morning of the 20th day, the on-land processions start off from Van Yen, Duoc Son and Con Son to approach the temple. The procession on the river will be destined for Tran Xa Lagoon, then following the Thuong River to the quay in front of the temple. At the appointed time, all processions will gather correctly in lines at the entrance gate of the temple to carry out the incense-offering rite. The chief officiant delivers a speech to praise the great contributions of Tran Hung Dao and the historical significance of the anti-Yuan-Mongolian resistance wars under the Tran Dynasty. He also gives a funeral oration to Saint Tran Hung Dao. Then, all people will offer incense sticks.
The incense-offering rite is followed by a solemn major ceremony and a palanquin procession. The votive tablet of Saint Tran is placed in a splendid red-lacquered gold-gilded palanquin surrounded by some dragon and lion dancers. The procession moves to the riverbank. In such an imposing environment, the audience can recall a big operation of the Dai Viet heroic army under the leadership of the genius marshal prior to the famous water battle on the Bach Dang River seven centuries ago (1288).
The procession embarks on the boat ornamented with votive flags and flowers. The Saint's palanquin is transported on a dragon boat. The fleet leaves the quay in the resounding accompaniment of drumbeats, gong and horn sounds, and the admiring acclamation of the audience. When the fleet moors, the procession returns the temple.
One of the most attractive performances in the festival is the race of dozens of boats on the Luc Dau River. | 2019-04-21T12:55:40 | http://thuonghieu.tourism.vn/en/index.php/tourism/items/554 |

If you like Heinlein, you'll enjoy POINT ULTIMATE.
Welcome to the future where the Enemy rules the world. Resistance is futile: The Enemy maintains control by having released a lethal virus, then forcing everyone to get a monthly antidote injection, lest they die a horrible, painful death without it.
Resistance is never entirely futile, and freedom-loving men, women, and children attempt to sneak their way to the secret "Point Ultimate" where they can be free. But the Enemy wants to know: Where is Point Ultimate?
Very Heinlein-esque in feel, it's like finding Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel or Farnham's Freehold in an attic if they hadn't been published before, the way people find a "new" Mozart or Beethoven piece in a trunk somewhere.

~In the event that you get bit by wildlife, seek immediate medical attention and report the bite to Moore County Sheriff’s Office.
~If your domestic pet is bitten by a wild animal, immediately report the bite to Moore County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services, especially if your pet is not current on rabies vaccinations.
~If you witness wildlife acting strangely, but it HAS NOT come in to contact with humans, report it to the North Carolina Department of Wildlife at 1-866-318-2401.
~If there is a dead animal in the roadway, do not touch it. Contact the North Carolina Department of Transportation at 910-947-2233.
