elle in a nutshell Elle Ellinghaus has a love-hate relationship with the color pink, thinks a Lilly Pulitzer dress can fix any bad day, and is a Southern Belle at heart. She holds a firm belief that all houses should have flower boxes and that if it doesn’t move, it should be monogrammed. Elle is married to her prince charming and is an obsessed Momma to their strawberry-blonde little girl, Emmy Lou. She designed their house in the country in 2015 and they live Southernly complete with a porch swing, donkeys in the backyard and toddler sized riding boots in the mudroom. Her personal instagram is based around living this “Pink Pineapple Life” and is filled with the #theellinghouse, style, behind the scenes EED and being a Momma to little Emmy Lou–usualy in matching outfits. Jillian and Elle are sisters and you can often find them showing up to events in unplanned, matching outfits, and laughing as vendors confuse them with the other.
the start of a dream Elle has always had a passion for design and a strong work harder than you can dream ambition. She did not aspire to be a wedding planner and she actually never wanted to get married herself! It wasn’t until she met her husband that she fell in love with love. Once her green eyed boy walked into her life, she knew she wanted to combine her love of beautiful spaces with her passion for romance and become a wedding planner. Elle spent countless hours of hard work doing hands-on industry & event research to find out what works and what doesn’t, what a good planner should be and what tools they need. As she was creating EED, fellow planners asked her to help design their weddings; this lack of design in the wedding planning industry made her business plan a goal of combining the meticulousness of planning with the graceful art of design. With that, Elle Ellinghaus Designs began “officially” in 2010 and has become a leader in the world of weddings. Elle was chosen for “Top Ten” in Baltimore Magazine, her work has been and continues to be featured in countless publications and she was invited to be a featured author in the Event Planning Major’s textbook used in colleges nationwide. Since 2015, she has been mentoring and coaching wedding planners & small businesses as a cheerleader for their success and speaking at workshops and events across the country sharing her knowledge and story.
le petit pineapple When Elle was asked to work with clients after their wedding for baby & bridal showers, first birthdays, debutante balls and more, her heart melted! In her words, “There is nothing more sweet than a petit little fete,” so in 2016 Le Petit Pineapple was dreamed up. A brand carried from the EED pink pineapple still focusing on high style planning, but for more petite soirees. She named EED producer, Chatara, as the lead designer and together they bring to life petite little parties.
thankful Elle is so grateful and honored her dream that started with a sketchpad, blossomed into a wedding planning company that would be featured, have her designing in cities around the world and be asked to mentor others through workshops and speaking. You will never meet a girl so ambitious, determined, and incredibly humbled.
Elle works with 2-3 luxury Full Wedding Planning & Design packages each year for clients wanting a full service, fully designed wedding. EED has an amazing team of experienced ladies to work with those wanting anything from Day of Coordination to Partial & Full Planning if this isn’t you! You can also find her inspiring others to follow their dreams as she did, and sharing the tools & knowledge do so through mentoring, workshops & speaking.

I’m as excited as a kid in a candystore! I’ve heard a lot about HyperDB and what can be done with it, and I’ve been thinking how cool it would be to implement it on the sites I’m hosting. And today my friends I’m proud to say that IT WORKS A TREAT!
Let me tell you a bit about HyperDB. It’s another super cool Automattic project fronted by Matt, Andy, Ryan and Blogluftwaffe. It’s a rather complex plugin for WordPress that will let you specify more than one Database Server. In a high production environment your one and only Database Server can get busy or even crash and die – so all websites would be down until you restart it.
HyperDB solves this by letting you specify several servers in the handy db-config.php file. You can set one as master server for write queries and several others for read queries. This means that the master server doesn’t get bothered with read queries while several other servers can deal with those. If one read server dies, the others can pick up the slack. It’s genius!
Server 1 (Hubert) hosts the content. This server can be defined as “localhost” in wp-config.php. We’ll make him a Database Slave later.
Server 2 (Drexel) is the Database Master.
Server 3 (Verslpzy) is another Database Slave.
Before we start, I want to make sure that I can test which server is chosen by HyperDB at any given time. The easiest way to do this is to replicate the current database to all servers using the following commands.
In a production environment you’d setup proper database replication for all databases on the master. In this case though, I’m only working with one replicated database and I don’t want it to be updated automatically – hence I’m going for a manual approach.
We’ll do the same on Server 3 so we have the exact database 3 times.
Now I need to write a post on my dev site stating which Database Server we’re looking at. All I need is a good headline really that says “Looking at Server 1”. So far so good.
If at this point you get the “Error establishing Database Connection” it means some of your details in wp-config aren’t correct, or your replication didn’t work. Could be the replicated server hasn’t got the right privileges defined in MySQL. I won’t go into detail about that here though.
Let’s write a new post that says “Looking at Server 2”. Publish and refresh. Nice.
On to change the wp-config again to the third database server, and over to writing a new post entitled “Looking at Server 3”.
All we’ve done now is amend each single database slightly – and more importantly make this change visible on our front page.
Now comes the fun part: let’s bring in the star of the show.
Download HyperDB and unpack it. Upload db.php into your wp-content directory – this alone will activate it. It’s super simple steps that made WordPress great!
'host' => DB_HOST, // If port is other than 3306, use host:port.
'host' => 'server2.com', // If port is other than 3306, use host:port.
'host' => '192.168.0.101', // If port is other than 3306, use host:port.
'host' => '192.168.0.102', // If port is other than 3306, use host:port.
Save the file and upload it into the same folder that holds your wp-config.php file (as described above, db.php should be uploaded into the /wp-content/ folder).
Testing Testing… is this thing on?
If you now go back to your live site and refresh the home page, you should see that your latest post is different upon every refresh. Keep refreshing, and the “Looking at Server x” messages will just keep coming. We’ve just proven that HyperDB works a TREAT with minimal effort!
HyperDB works so well it’s scary!
What I’m pleased about is that WordPress works like magic with multiple database servers and minimal effort. I can’t wait to implement this on a bigger scale on all my sites.
how about when I have a very long database and it takes 20 seconds to load… what should I do?
Tough one. I’d say if your database is extremely large (we’re talking several GB) then HyperDB can indeed help – but you need to have two or more database servers at your disposal. You can then split the database into several tables per server.
I would personally try upgrading to better hosting as this will likely solve the problem.
1 > Do I need to install the application on the slave server?
3 > In which folder the wp-config should go in the slave machine if there is no need of installing the application on the slave? Will it go to the www directory. Where should I put the db.php file?
4 > Do I comment the master section info when I configure it for slave?
1+2 can be installed on the same server – but therefore 3 is not a web server and does not need a copy of WordPress, and hence you only have one configuration file. In this you need to tell WordPress about the two database servers.
I suppose today we wouldn’t really use HyperDB anymore. HyperDB was developed before affordable cloud hosting became a reality.
Infrastructure such as Amazon RDS makes our lives much easier: with RDS you can setup a single MySQL instance which scales and replicates automagically, across several continents. WordPress only speaks to one database server, and Amazon handles the rest. | 2019-04-21T09:24:46Z | https://wpguru.co.uk/2010/07/testing-hyperdb/ |
Old Holborn left a message on Tom Harris’s blog, which propmted me to leave a message for you.My blog roll consists of three names and you are one of them!I have been through terrible depressions myself, even lacking the will to live, which was mainly due to constantly worrying about the state of the world and my own feeble efforts, but then I started lightening up because the Almighty God is in control and so I don’t need to worry every minute of the day.Friends had to drum this fact into my head.I started turning my concerns into opportunities. Instead of getting depressed, I started a website. I stopped worrying what people think of me and started speaking my mind.I know from feedback that I have helped people see things differently. They have thanked me.You are much bigger than me, so many more people will have benefited from your insight.Maybe a change would help. I moved to a new house and I decided I was going to enjoy it no matter what. I guess you don’t have to move to make that decision. Just trust in Christ and do it. The Good Shepherd won’t let us down. I used to worry about the lost sheep. How can *I* save them, I used to beat myself up with, but He will keep the 99 safe while the lost one is returned safely to the fold.I am sure that, through God’s grace, all will be gathered together whose names are written in the Book of Life.At church at the weekend, we were reminded that one of the most important things about being a Christian is the waiting. Waiting upon the glorious return of Christ.While we’re waiting, take some rest as you need to. And remember, depressions *always* pass. I guarantee this. I am somewhat of an expert after several decades of the things. Get some antidepressants if you need to. Plenty of Christians are on them. I’ve been on them. There’s no shame in it.A walk can do wonders, especially if you can kick some Autumn leaves about as you go! | 2019-04-19T23:05:29Z | http://blog.cadugarcia.com/?p=90 |
There are a number of string functions in MySQL for extracting text, working out the position of a substring, calulating the length of text and so on. This post looks at how to work out the length of the longest string in a field in a MySQL table.
The LENGTH() function in MySQL returns the length of a string in bytes. Multi-byte characters will count as multiple bytes. The examples in this post will use the LENGTH() function but you can substitute them with the CHAR_LENGTH() function instead if you want to count the number of characters rather than bytes. Note that CHAR_LENGTH will treat a character that uses two bytes a one single character and would return 1.
This will return the number 14.
where "field_to_query" is the fieldname you want to query and table_to_query is the table. This will then return the length of the longest field named "field_to_query" as an integer.
This can be quite useful if you've loaded data from an external source into a table and want to ensure you have enough storage space for the data. I need to regularly load data from a text file into a MySQL table and one of the fields is labelled "long_description". Initially I created the field as a VARCHAR(255) and then ran the above query against the table only to discover the longest field(s) were 255 bytes long. I then changed the table to type TEXT and ran the query again and found out the longest field was acutally 1210 bytes long. | 2019-04-23T12:30:15Z | https://www.electrictoolbox.com/find-length-longest-string-mysql/ |

Teeny and the Bee: And baby makes... four?
I've been getting TIME magazine for years. I used to read it cover to cover. Now if I'm lucky I make it to the letters to the editor that discuss articles from past issues that I didn't get to before it was time to recycle. The issues sit in the bathroom and occasionally Johnny thumbs through them while he's in there and emerges updated on world events. "Did you read that Iran banned the mullet?" he asks brightly, and makes me feel like a kid who hasn't done her homework.
This past week the cover story was one we both read though. It was on the growing percentage of only children in the US.
As Thora gets older and other things fall into place in our lives, we are now asking ourselves about #2. Do we want another child? And if we do, when? And what are our reasons for wanting versus not wanting?
Before Thora was born, we'd agreed on two. Probably, that is.
Somehow I envisioned our family as a family of four. I still do. And yet we are wavering.
Reading that only children are on the rise for a lot of reasons was interesting and thought provoking. Only children do better in school. They read more, have higher SAT scores. They get more quality time. And yet, when I, the only child with high SAT scores and an A average, was younger, I often felt like I was surrounded by grownups that didn't want to play with me, who could not relate to me. In an earlier blog entry I wrote that I often felt like my parents were both born at the age of 35 since they had absolutely zero recollection of what it was like to be a kid.
Desperate for youthful interaction, I always wanted to visit my friends or invite them over. My mother would tell me repeatedly, "Aimee, you have to learn to play by yourself." Board games are no fun on your own - there are only so many times you can play against yourself. I never had video games. I didn't play with dolls. I wasn't a particularly imaginative child. So I read. I would go to the library and take out as many books as I could carry and then devour them all. I'd spend all day lying on the floor of my room reading. I blew through books quickly and I reread my favorites often. All this reading gave me a wide and varied vocabulary, but I was also dramatic, sensitive, emotional. I often think I am that way because I tried so hard to get the attention of grownups who might have been more focused on children had there been more children to focus on.
That said, I loved being an only child as much as I hated it. Really, it was the only life I knew. I was not spoiled. I was independent by default. I am still independent. Autonomous. Focused. I am so the opposite of distracted and ADD-minded that when I am reading something or even thinking about something, I don't hear the people next to me when they're trying to get my attention. I like and need lots of alone time and personal space. I don't need to be entertained or babysat.
Johnny, on the other hand, was one of four. Four is a lot. Four is out of the question. Even three is a lot. Three is out of the question.
Pros of having two: Achieving my goal, living my dream. If we had them close together, they would have each other. If we had another girl, even better! We would be able to use all of Thora's things again. Plus I loved being pregnant. And I would love a chance at a more normal birthing. We would be even more child-centric. We would have a bigger and more fun family. But mostly it is this: I have a lot of love to give. Enough for another child. And I know that I would be a good mother to two. Also (and I hate even typing this), if something were to happen to Thora... and she were the only child.... the all-your-eggs-in-one-basket thing. I worry.
Cons of having two: I am already 37, so we'd need to get on this soon. Thus we would have two small children at once and I worry a lot about robbing Thora of her babyhood. It would very likely mean weaning her before I wanted to, moving her to sleeping in her room before I wanted to. And can we handle two little ones? One is hard enough! Would we be stretched too thin? I fear the double stroller, two car seats, attempting to tandem nurse. Also, we have a two bedroom apartment, so any new baby - boy or girl - would have to share with Thora, unless we move. But we just moved in. My responsibilities at work are increasing and this pulls me in several directions at once. I miss Thora terribly when I have to work late. Having two means missing twice as much, and putting twice as much pressure on Johnny as the primary caregiver during the week. Raising children is expensive. Could we afford it? Johnny stays home with Thora. Would I be able to support a family of four on my own, or would he have to go to work?
The strongest argument to keep Thora a singleton is our very real fear of the other shoe falling. I am so freaking happy these days that it's hard to believe my good fortune. I have never known this kind of happiness in my whole life. In the past few years Johnny and I got back together and I learned how to take control of my finances and my life. In the past year, I got pregnant and finally decided I wanted to marry the person I knew I was meant to be with. We had a beautiful, healthy baby who is turning into a happy and thriving child. We moved into a brand new apartment and became first-time homeowners. We saved for and bought me the diamond ring we could not afford when we got married. And most recently, I got promoted to VP at work. This is a streak of good fortune that I worry could run out at any time. Do I dare ask for more? Should I push my luck? What if the next one isn't as easy? Or worse? Then what? It feels like a gamble, and I am not the gambling type.

I love the bathee photos!
Ok this entry basically made me tear up. I do not know why, but it did.
If you ask me, I say two. And for one reason. Seeing the bond forming between siblings is the most beautiful thing you will ever witness in your entire life.
But off course it is up to you! I do understand the thought of having an only child though. I thought I was done after I had Sumarrós but then Karítas happened out of the blue. Now I am just so incredibly happy and thankful that I have both of them.
I could tell you all the bonuses of having two (or even three, as I did), but what was right for me might not be right for you. We thought that two was enough. Then I found out that I was pregnant with David. I don't regret for one minute having him. Mine averaged 3yrs between and I still worried that the earlier ones got cheated while I was focused on the newest one. There is no perfect answer. The only question to ask yourself about having another one is "Why?". If you can't answer that one with surety, that tells you something. I know how you feel about having lots of love to give. I felt the same way. Trust your heart in this, and don't let your head confuse you with too many what-ifs. There will always be "what-ifs" no matter what your decision.
I admire and am grateful to you for speaking so candidly and personally in your blog; for vocalizing things I've felt and thought and even written, but never would have been able to post so publicly. I love reading your posts and vicariously absorbing some of this profound love and happiness. | 2019-04-23T02:45:00Z | http://www.teenyandthebee.com/2010/07/and-baby-makes-four.html |
Then made fettuccine with the leftovers.
Making pasta is not for the faint of heart. If you posses a pasta roller perhaps you disagree, but from where I was sitting (drinking wine and sneaking bits of fresh apple cake), it looked pretty hard.
The results were worthy. Tender noodles (drizzled with sage infused cream sauce) filled with sweet squash abundant with parmesan, cream and a hint of nutmeg.
Thanks to Daniela of Bella Signature Design for the action photos above.
12 oz butternut squash, baked.
Combine all ingredients using the back of a fork to mash the squash. Taste, adjust seasonings. We didn’t use the prosciutto so added extra salt.
Mix flour and salt then add the oil and egg, mixing well to a firm ball. Let rest to relax the dough and roll into thin sheets.
This was a challenge so I couldn't run to the store to buy fresh sage and made do with dried instead. So good that I may have to “make-do” with dried herbs more often.
Combine in heavy pot and bring to a boil; let simmer for as long as it takes to heat your pasta water and cook your pasta. Will reduce to a few tasty tablespoons. Drizzle over hot pasta. | 2019-04-22T08:15:31Z | http://www.bainbridgestyle.com/2009/12/butternut-squash-ravioli-with-handmade.html |

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to modern work on international trade theory and policy. We introduce students to the main theoretical and empirical concepts in international trade, ranging from Ricardian comparative advantage to modern theories of intra-industry trade. We will analyse the main issues in trade policy and the basic features of international trading regimes. Some of the questions that will be addressed are: Why do countries trade? What are the gains from trade? How does trade influence income distribution? What determines the pattern of trade? What are the implications of imposing tariffs, quotas or other trade policies? | 2019-04-26T11:56:58Z | http://www.enpc.fr/ceras/martin/cours.htm |

Graphene growth on copper in cold wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is not an inherently self- limiting process, which means that adlayers appear as long as there is sufficient growth time. The growth of large area and uniform monolayer becomes crucial and imminent. In this study, the pre-Treatment of oxidation was employed on copper. The results have shown that oxidation pre-Treatment in combination with argon annealing process would not only decrease the density of nucleation site, but also suppress the activity of nucleation site for the multilayer graphene growth. Therefore, large area and uniform monolayer graphene was obtained. The characterization of SEM. AFM and Raman analysis was also performed on either pristine graphene copper or transferred graphene on silicon oxide substrate. | 2019-04-23T16:25:09Z | https://research.chalmers.se/en/publication/248248 |
Lymph node enlargement is a common feature in a variety of diseases and may serve as a focal point for subsequent clinical investigation of diseases of the reticuloendothelial system or regional infection. The majority of cases represent a benign response to localized or systemic infection. Most children with lymphadenitis exhibit small, palpable cervical, axillary, and inguinal lymph nodes. Less common is enlargement of the suboccipital or postauricular nodes. Palpable supraclavicular, epitrochlear, and popliteal lymph nodes are uncommon, as are enlarged mediastinal and abdominal nodes.
Lymphadenitis may affect a single node or a group of nodes (regional adenopathy) and may be unilateral or bilateral. The onset and course of lymphadenitis may be acute, subacute, or chronic.

Avilla Northside will offer private luxury rental homes to lifestyle-consious consumers seeking a new home experience without the burdens of home ownership.

“Our goals of expanding the Avilla portfolio by 50% within the next year is on track and we are very pleased with the response the leased home market is receiving”, said Josh Hartmann, NexMetro’s Chief Operating Officer. “There is major demand from Millennials and Baby Boomers for a unique rental concept that allows tenants to feel like they are living in a home, but without the responsibility often associated with home ownership. Our neighborhoods provide renters with these amenities and more,” said Hartmann.
Avilla Northside is located near historic downtown McKinney and is close to the Towne Lake Recreation Area, the Raytheon Company and abundant retail, services and restaurants. The new luxury rental community offers a truly unique alternative to the typical rental experience, said Ryan Griffis, vice president of operations for NexMetro’s Dallas Metro Division.

Insuring your home against financial catastrophe can involve a number of high-stakes decisions. From which carrier to use to how large a deductible to choose, the insurance industry has become endlessly complicated. Volcanic eruptions, riots and falling planes? Your standard policy definitely covers those unlikely events. Pit bull bites, sinkholes and mold infestations? Perhaps, perhaps not. Flooding? Definitely not.
Here you will find an overview of what homeowners insurance protects and what it doesn’t, and how you can make informed decisions about buying coverage.
What Type of Homeowners Insurance Should You Get?
If you have a mortgage, homeowners insurance isn’t just extra security and protection — it’s required. Find out the average cost of home insurance in your state by using the below map.

is injured on your property.
The most popular insurance is an “all risk” policy, although people with newly constructed homes may qualify for comprehensive coverage. Whether you live in a mobile home, condo, single family home, or rent an apartment, you can find a policy to protect your home and/or property.
A bare-bones policy that doesn’t include liability coverage. It’s no longer available in most states, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
Also called a “broad form” policy. The coverage protects your home from 16 different types of perils (see above list).
A “special form” policy that covers the attached structures of your home as well as detached structures like a garage, cottage and fence. It also includes personal liability coverage. The name “All Risk” Policy is misleading as the policy doesn’t cover all risks. It does cover the aforementioned 16 perils and everything except the named exclusions in the policy, which include war, power failure, flood, vermin and nuclear disaster, among others.
This is an insurance policy for renters. It covers your personal belongings, though not the structure of the property you rent.
A “comprehensive form” policy that covers the structure of your home and offers broader coverage for personal property. You’re protected from the same perils as an HO-3 but don’t have to prove your belongings were damaged by a peril named in the policy. This form of coverage is usually for new or recently constructed homes.
A policy for condo and co-op owners that works similar to HO-2 coverage. It covers the structural parts of the building you own, plus your personal belongings.
This coverage is like an HO-2 policy, but it protects mobile homes.
A policy that typically covers the replacement cost — minus depreciation — of damage to an older home.
Homeowners insurance is complicated, and rate quotes hinge on numerous variables. Check out our guide on comparing homeowners insurance quotes.
Homeowners and renters insurance policies almost never cover floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural hazards. Learn how to protect yourself from Mother Nature’s worst.
You can’t control the wrath of nature, but you can prepare for the worst. Here are steps to take to get ready for an emergency, and what to do if disaster strikes.
Homeowners coverage varies based on the type of policy you buy and where you live. The most bare-bones insurance policy is known as “dwelling fire,” also known as HO-1 coverage, and it insures against hazards that include fire, smoke, lightning and explosions.
No homeowners policy covers flood damage if it’s caused by rising water. That peril is covered through a separate flood insurance policy from the federal government.
You need a separate federal flood insurance policy.
This risk is covered by separate earthquake insurance.
If you live in Hurricane Alley, you might need a policy from your state’s windstorm plan.
Many carriers have begun to exclude mold damage from policies.
You might be able to buy a special rider for this peril.
Some insurers exclude such breeds as pit bulls, Akitas and Rottweilers.
You might be able to buy a special rider for this hazard, too.
Say FedEx delivers work-related package to your house, and the driver slips and falls. Your policy doesn’t cover liability.
If your roof is simply old rather than damaged, you pay for the repair.
Does Your Location Affect Your Coverage?
Yes, where you live affects your coverage and policy costs. If you live in California, earthquake coverage isn’t part of your standard policy. You’ll need separate coverage, which usually carries a high deductible. And if you live in Florida or another hurricane-prone state, you might need separate windstorm insurance.
Some of the language in your policy might seem ridiculously specific, but there’s a reason for the hairsplitting. “Civil unrest” is covered in standard policies, but “war” isn’t. And the extensive damage left by Hurricane Katrina led to many lawsuits over whether water damage was technically caused by a flood or a windstorm.
For most homeowners, the high-value part of the policy applies to the structure of your home. If an insured hazard hits your humble abode, your coverage will pay to fix or rebuild your house. Insurers typically cover not just your living quarters but also garages, fences, tool sheds and gazebos. In addition, insurance policies generally pay to replace personal belongings if they’re stolen or damaged in a fire, hurricane or other covered disaster.
Be sure to review your dwelling coverage occasionally because capital improvements and inflation can affect your home’s cost of replacement. Due to the so-called 80 percent rule, if your coverage limits fall below 80 percent of the full replacement cost of your home, your insurance company may reduce the amount it pays on a claim.
In a typical policy with $200,000 in coverage for the dwelling, the insurer would cover up to $100,000 to replace furniture, electronics and other personal items. Pricey items such as jewelry, furs and silverware typically are covered, but many insurers impose dollar limits if they’re stolen. If you have an extensive jewelry collection, though, you might consider paying for an endorsement, which specifies coverage under certain special circumstances or for itemized valuables.
Homeowners policies also include liability protection, which pays for legal costs and any court awards in the event of a lawsuit against the homeowner. Typically, this coverage is limited to $100,000. Finally, your policy might pay for your living costs if your home is rendered uninhabitable.
Pays to replace home and possessions minus a deduction for depreciation — so don’t expect to get $2,000 for that ancient laptop.
The most generous coverage that pays to rebuild your home no matter the cost, useful if you’re the victim of a disaster that causes a spike in the costs of labor and construction materials.
If you’ve lived in your house for years, creating an inventory might seem tedious. Start with your most recent purchases and then work backward to your older possessions. It’s better to have an incomplete list than no list at all.

Don’t feel like cataloging every article of clothing, book and knickknack in your home? Jack Hungelmann, author of Insurance for Dummies, suggests tallying the value of furniture, TVs and other major items, then doubling it. That should approximate the value of all your stuff.

Stuffanizer is a visual inventory app that allows users to set custom locations, create tags and take photos to keep track of their stuff — for $2.99.
One of the most important variables determining how much you’ll pay for coverage. Hurricane Alley and Tornado Alley are the most expensive places to insure a home — Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma top the list of priciest markets. Idaho, Oregon and Utah are the cheapest states to buy homeowners coverage.
If your Florida abode is a wood-frame house with jalousie windows, you’ll pay more. If it’s a concrete-block structure with impact-resistant windows, you’ll pay less. Insurers use a catastrophe model to determine prices. Rate regulation is the duty of insurance commissioners in each state.
If State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide and other carriers are competing for customers in your area, rates are likely to fall. This is known as a soft market. In the opposite case, a hard market, rates tend to rise.
How much insurers pay for this form of reinsurance can affect rates. Catastrophe reinsurance indemnifies the insurer for losses in excess of a stipulated sum arising from a single catastrophic event or series of events.
What Kind of Discounts Might You Expect?
Bundling your home insurance with your car insurance (buying it from the same insurance carrier). These are known as multi-line discounts.
Having dead-bolts and/or a home security system.
Bringing your old wiring up to code.
What happens if you’re the victim of a burglary, fire or other insured claim? First, your policy requires you to mitigate the damage as soon as possible. So, for instance, if you have a water leak, turn off the water and immediately call a company that handles water damage. Next, contact your insurance company to report the damage. When you reach your company’s adjuster, be sure to get his name and cell phone number, along with your claim number. In most cases, your carrier will come through with a check to cover your claim, up to the limits of your policy.
Whether you store it in the cloud or in a filing cabinet, your policy spells out what your insurer owes you in case of a loss.
If you have a large collection of jewelry or art, buy an endorsement to insure it.
Say you have a $1,000 deductible and your $500 bike is stolen from your garage. In that case, you’d be wise to keep your insurer out of the matter.
Hit by a storm or significant water damage, it makes sense to file a claim. However, you may want to skip a small, non-weather claim, lest your insurer drop you when your policy comes up for renewal.
Insurers handle each type of claim a bit differently. In case of a burglary, you’ll need to provide a police report and an inventory of the items taken. In the event of a fire or weather-related claim that damages the structure of your house, you’ll need to hire a contractor, and your insurer ultimately will reimburse you for your costs.

Do I Need a Public Insurance Adjuster?
The typical insurance claim goes relatively smoothly, and the carrier pays up as promised. But in some cases, an insurer simply refuses to pay what you think you’re owed. If you’re faced with an unreasonable settlement offer, it might make sense to hire a public adjuster. Unlike an adjuster who’s employed by your insurance company, a public adjuster works for you and is paid by you.
Public adjusters say they know policies and insurers’ processes, and they can persuade insurers to pay up when you can’t. You’ll pay your public adjuster a percentage of the settlement he negotiates on your behalf. Public adjusters stress that they’re not insurance agents nor paid by carriers, which puts them firmly on the side of policyholders. The National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters offers a listing of its members.

If you own a car, you’re familiar with the difference between insurance and a warranty. If your car is stolen or damaged in a crash or natural disaster, that’s a matter for your insurance policy. If your transmission blows out, you’ll turn to your warranty for financial help. The concept is similar for real estate.
A home warranty is a service contract that helps offset expenses if the roof springs a leak or the air conditioning needs a repair. Home warranties are a type of insurance, but they’re designed to cushion the blow of the smaller costs of routine maintenance rather than some significant loss from a catastrophic event. Sellers often provide home warranties as a tool to market their homes. A lender will require you to have homeowners insurance but not a warranty.
An individual employed by an insurance company to evaluate losses and settle policyholder claims.
This computerized method of predicting claims combines long-term disaster trends with current demographics and building patterns. The result is a prediction of the potential cost of catastrophic losses for a given area.
Insurers typically can handle billions of dollars of losses, but to protect against major disasters such as Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina, they buy reinsurance that helps cover claims filed after large-scale catastrophes.
The amount of loss paid by the policyholder. It’s either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the claim amount.
A cut-rate type of insurance policy that covers only the most basic risks.
This type of policy covers a structure and its contents but has a high deductible.
A written form attached to an insurance policy altering the policy’s coverage, terms or conditions.
A provision in an insurance policy disallowing coverage for certain risks.
Coverage for flood damage is available from the federal government under the National Flood Insurance Program. It is sold by licensed insurance agents.
A period when carriers are reluctant to sell coverage.
A numerical ranking based on a consumer’s credit history. Insurers say people with poor credit histories have proven more likely to file claims.
A specific risk or cause of loss covered by an insurance policy, such as fire or theft.
A person who negotiates with insurers on behalf of policyholders and receives a portion of a claims settlement.
The process by which states monitor insurance companies’ rate changes.
An environment of plentiful, low-cost coverage.
State-sponsored insurance pools sell hurricane coverage to people who can’t buy it in the voluntary market because of their high risk. Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas offer these plans. Georgia and New York also have special windstorm pools for certain coastal communities. | 2019-04-23T10:52:58Z | https://www.moneygeek.com/insurance/homeowners/ |

In the 2006 inaugural Melbourne to Vanuatu race, the daily sked was often followed by ‘The Daily News’ or friendly banter between the competitors. Wendy Gourlay became known to the fleet by a poem she penned for one of these sessions.
Wendy and husband Ken (solo circumnavigator extraordinaire) were in Melbourne for the main fleet start of the Osaka race to farewell their son Tristan and co-skipper Jamie from Force Eleven. As part of the entertainment at the farewell dinner, Wendy put pen to paper again to bid the fleet bon voyage. For those of you who enjoyed that celebration and for those who were unable to attend, here is her poem, parts one and two. | 2019-04-21T15:11:12Z | http://melbourneosaka.com/news/piece-prose-event/ |

Thomas Kühl, the main shareholder behind PANDI SERVICES for many years, has transferred the business to brand MARINE CONSULTANTS GmbH (bMC) with effect as of 1st July 2017. The history of PANDI goes back to the year 1865 and already 1902 the company has been appointed to act as P&I Correspondent. The transition process is being led by bMC's CEO Capt. Peter Wölk. Peter Wölk has previously worked with PANDI for almost six years. bMC is glad to announce that the PANDI team will remain on board.

But the cooperation with the bMC group of companies will offer PANDI direct access to wider technical and engineering expertise as well as to experts and surveyors which will increase our service capability. In addition, this acquisition increases the footprints of both companies. On the one hand bMC will have associated offices in Bremen, Wilhelmshaven and Rostock (beside the HQ in Hamburg). And on the other hand PANDI will be put on a global scale via the bMC companies in the UK and Singapore. bMC’s clients will directly benefit from this new set-up.

Live 5 Gaming is a small independent developer that's based in Staffordshire in the UK and has released a number of innovative slot games to online and mobile casinos since they opened for business in 2015.
Although the range is still somewhat limited, they have concentrated on launching a small selection of high-quality games rather than lots of average ones and this has attracted casino operators who are looking to add unique slots to their ranges.
The company philosophy states that they aim to provide unique slot games for players who are tired of the same old features and styles provided by many other developers. They also strive to deliver games to partner sites on time and to develop close relationships with casino and gaming platform operators.
So far, Live 5 Gaming slots have been taken up by sites such as Gala Bingo, Mecca Bingo and Sky Vegas, while they have worked with game developers including Leander Games, Blueprint Gaming and NYX to bring quality slots to the market.
The collection includes Out of this World, which sees a cartoon Alien Pharaoh invading the reels, plus Stairway to Heaven, where angels and devils award free spins with multipliers as players ascend the stairs to the Pearly Gates.
In The Sky's The Limit, airline stewardesses help passengers to free games, while a Suitcase bonus awards multipliers, guaranteed winning spins or entry to further bonus rounds.
This growing collection of UK and Alderney Gambling Commission licensed games can now be played across mobile and desktop platforms.

Whether continue L&T Tax Advantage Fund?
Q & A Forum › Category: Mutual Fund › Whether continue L&T Tax Advantage Fund?
It is an average fund. I don’t think a great consistent performer. I suggest you the funds like Franklin India Tax Shield or Axis Long Term Equity over this fund. However, you can stop the SIP in this fund. Start new in any of my recommended funds. Once the lock-in over in the existing one, then you can move either to the said funds or into a well diversified funds.
Thank-You so much Basunivesh, for your inputs and the explanation. | 2019-04-23T02:15:18Z | https://www.basunivesh.com/forum/question/whether-continue-lt-tax-advantage-fund/ |
IMPAQ works to improve the quality of education and advance education reform. We remain dedicated to providing administrators, teachers, students, parents and communities with the resources they need to be successful.
Our goal is to make children happier, safer, and more successful, ultimately bringing a brighter future to them and their families. Below are a few examples of IMPAQ’s work in International Education.
In response to the low levels of literacy in some regions of Senegal, the World Bank (WB) and the Senegalese Ministry of Education (MoE) created a comprehensive government strategic plan to improve school governance and increase equity and access to formal education (Programme pour l’Amelioration de la Qualité et de l’Equité pour l’Education de Base, or PAQEEB).
Ensure that students achieve learning results as measured by indicators of proficiency in reading and math.
IMPAQ is conducting an impact evaluation of the Grants for Results component of PAQEEB. The goal is to determine if providing basic education through private, faith-based organizations is an effective tool to reach and increase the educational outcome of marginalized children who are disconnected from formal public schooling for cultural reasons.
Identify lessons learned and recommendations for future programming.
IMPAQ is conducting a Baseline for Counterpart’s Food for Education Saint Louis Project funded by the USDA, using a mixed-method design to produce an information base against which to monitor and assess the program’s progress and effectiveness.

The GRAPH’IT colour chart becomes infinite with the Mix’it by GRAPH’IT marker palette!
The essential accessory for mixing!
The Mix’it pallet is a translucent sheet made of a non-porous, tear-resistant synthetic material. Because this paper retains the ink from the markers and is waterproof. It is the perfect tool for mixing alcohol-based markers or water-based markers.
Use your Blender GRAPH’IT marker as a brush: work on your colours until you obtain the desired shade, then pick up the mix with the blender and apply it on your drawing. You can also just pick up a single colour to create shadings.
Because the colour stays on the surface of the non-porous palette, you can go back to a colour months later and reactivate it with the blender.
The use of the Blender is ideal for detail work and shadow retouching in particular. Blender mixes can be used to obtain pastel or extremely light shades. In this way, traditional gradients can be better mastered beforehand on pallets and then applied on paper.
Mix’It also allows you to archive your own colours: even when dry, the mixes can be reactivated simply by using the Blender. In this way, the shades created can be preserved and re-used.
The GRAPH’IT colour chart no longer has any limits! Easily create new shades of tints according to your desires with this palette.
Reusable, the palette can be cleaned with alcohol or with the Mix’it Fluid. | 2019-04-23T22:06:53Z | http://www.graphit-marker.com/blog-en/mixit-by-graphit/ |
Baby Girl Musical Photo Frame and Keepsake Box.
Measuring approx 11.5cm L x W x D the photo frame houses four 2" x 2" photos.
The interior is felt lined as is the base.
The music box plays "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and is activated by turning the cube clockwise whilst it is resting on a flat surface.
The lid of the Keepsake Box has a little train which is actually the handle.
Personalisation Guidelines: As per the images ... We will laser engrave the Child's Full Name, an occasion and the date of the occasion.
As you will see the format is "Arced Text" which lends itself to variations of the example such as, "NAME + ON YOUR DEDICATION + DATE" or "NAME + BORN ON + DATE" Small variations on the theme are possible and we will look at all requests.
Good service and I love this music box. Would highly recommend.
Delivery a bit slow, but it seems it was dispatched when they said and the slow delivery was down to Royal Mail. Well worth the wait, quality music box.
Was looking for something a bit different for my God Daughter, this musical photo cube was perfect. Great for keepsake. | 2019-04-19T01:29:47Z | https://www.bgstores.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=982_1139_1143&products_id=25275 |

Nama Venkateswwaralu, Yeswanth (2014). Theorizing accounting and other [calculative] practices in private equity:Experimenting with Schatzki’s ‘site’ ontology. PHD thesis, Aston University.
This thesis contributes to social studies of finance and accounting (Vollmer, Mennicken, & Preda, 2009) and the practice theory literatures (Feldman & Orlikowski, 2011) by experimenting (Baxter & Chua, 2008) with concepts developed by Theodore Schatzki and demonstrating their relevance and usefulness in theorizing and explaining accounting and other organizational phenomena. Influenced by Schatzki, I have undertaken a sociological investigation of the practices, arrangements, and nexuses forming (part of) the social ‘site’ of private equity (PE). I have examined and explained the organization of practices within the PE industry. More specifically, I have sought to throw light on the practice organizations animating various PE practices. I have problematized a particular aspect of Schatzki’s practice organization framework: ‘general understanding’, which has so far been poorly understood and taken for granted in the accounting literature. I have tried to further explore the concept to clarify important definitional issues surrounding its empirical application. In investigating the forms of accounting and control practices in PE firms and how they link with other practices forming part of the ‘site’, I have sought to explain how the ‘situated functionality’ of accounting is ‘prefigured’ by its ‘dispersed’ nature. In doing so, this thesis addresses the recent calls for research on accounting and control practices within financial services firms. This thesis contributes to the social studies of finance and accounting literature also by opening the blackbox of investment [e]valuation practices prevalent in the PE industry. I theorize the due diligence of PE funds as a complex of linked calculative practices and bring to fore the important aspects of ‘practical intelligibility’ of the investment professionals undertaking investment evaluation. I also identify and differentiate the ‘causal’ and ‘prefigurational’ relations between investment evaluation practices and the material entities ‘constituting’ those practices. Moreover, I demonstrate the role of practice memory in those practices. Finally, the thesis also contributes to the practice theory literature by identifying and attempting to clarify and/or improve the poorly defined and/or underdeveloped concepts of Schatzki’s ‘site’ ontology framework. | 2019-04-24T08:27:11Z | http://publications.aston.ac.uk/24382/ |

So today's outfit seems to be a combination of what I've worn over the last week. I tend to get into a terrible routine of wearing something once, then not wearing it again for a year. So I'm now trying to re-use pieces from my wardrobe more often, and work out what can be styled with something different to make a whole new outfit.
The problem with buying a bright pink coat is that it's really obvious when you wear it over and over again and you then get bored of it easily. Lucky for me, this jacket was a bargain from Primark, so it's ok if I only wear it for this winter and get bored of it quickly. I'm sure I will pop in on Ebay soon enough! | 2019-04-20T17:18:27Z | http://www.wearisitfrom.com/2013/11/a-combination-of-last-weeks-outfits.html |
Michael L. Corbat, CEO of Citi, write an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, "America Has a Surplus in Services." He says that arguments about the balance of trade often focus only on goods. That misses half the equation.
Last year the U.S. trade surplus in services came to more than $250 billion, brining the total trade deficit down to around $550 billion. the Economic Report of the President issued in February put it this way: "Focusing only on the 'trade in goods along ignores the United States' comparative advantage in services, which rose as a share of U.S. exports to 33.5 percent through 2017."

Will Election Hacking Split NATO?
NATO’s Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Sir Adrian Bradshaw, has reportedly suggested that NATO may consider Russian interference in upcoming European elections as an attack triggering collective defense measures. Such a move could put NATO and its member states at odds with the United States, which carefully avoided calling Russian interference in the U.S. election even a violation of international law. It would also leave the United States with a difficult choice of potentially changing its view of the legality of election interference or contradicting the legal views of its NATO allies.
NATO’s founding treaty states in Article 5 that NATO members “agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all” and that “if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence” will assist the victim state. In a 2014 summit declaration, NATO governments made clear that cyberattacks could trigger collective self-defense under Article 5 and explained that a decision to invoke NATO’s collective defense obligations would occur “on a case-by-case basis.” According to The Independent, Bradshaw suggested that election interference may be such a case, explaining that “allegations of interference in American and European elections and an international disinformation campaign could cause the definition of an ‘attack’ to be widened” for purposes of Article 5.
“Armed attack” is a high threshold under international law, and as Ryan Goodman has explained, Russia’s interference in the U.S. election did not reach that level. Maybe a future cyberattack on election infrastructure could. But Bradshaw may have meant not that future election interference was likely to constitute an armed attack, but rather that NATO states should respond collectively to hostile actions below the armed attack threshold.
The continuing fears about Russian interference in upcoming European elections lend urgency to the need for state-to-state discussions about how to characterize election interference as a matter of international law. The United States—or at least the Obama Administration—staked out its position, but other states should weigh in and work toward a consensus among allies. Academics can continue to spar, but it is state practice that will and must settle the debate. | 2019-04-24T04:16:07Z | https://www.justsecurity.org/38679/election-hacking-split-nato/ |
Now that I’m in between starts, it may seem to the naked eye that I would have nothing to do. Wrong. Besides my bullpen session 2 days after I pitch, there is plenty of other things us starters have to do to prepare for the next start and recover from the last one. I’m going to run you through the not-so-simple 5-day routine of a starting pitcher.
Day 1: Day after gameday. Stretch and throwing program to start off the day. After stretch, batting practice will begin. As the pitcher in last night’s game, I will be assigned to the “bucket.” Not a glamorous job. You stand behind a screen beyond 2nd base and receive the balls that are shagged by everyone else. When the bucket fills up, you run in the bucket to the coach throwing BP and empty it. This is a dangerous time since you have to be aware of any screaming line drives the hitter in the cage is delivering your direction. During batting practice, I need to get my running done. Day 1 includes the longest of the runs. Usually I have 1 triple pole and 1 double pole followed by a quick abs series. I’m sure you’re asking what the heck is a triple pole?! A triple pole is a sprint-paced run from foul pole to foul pole along the warning track and back to the original foul pole. A double would be 2 poles. After this I go into the clubhouse and lift. Lifting isn’t too much since my wrist injury limits the number of things I can do in the weight room.
Day 2: Stretch and throwing program. Bullpen session. Today, I’ve got “Gassers.” I’m not sure exactly how long it is. I’m thinking about 60 yards. But, my job today is to sprint up and back 6 times. 2 of those times I run up, back, up, and back.
Day 3: Stretch and throwing program. Agility running day. This means that I do short sprints and lateral running drills around cones. The day after a bullpen session is the second lifting day of the rotation.
Day 4: Stretch and throwing program. Running for today is very simple since tomorrow is gameday. So, I run 20-yard sprints 10 times. That’s it.
On a non-baseball note, I went to Spider-Man 3 today. My expectations were high. Usually, I’m right about my movies. Movies are as big a part of my life as baseball. That’s the truth right there. And I knew this movie was going to be good. As the opening credits rolled, anxiousness and excitement ran hand-in-hand. Yet, almost 3 hours later, as the final credits rolled, so did my eyes. I know I’m not a professional movie critic, but people who know me know that I may as well be one. But let’s get one thing straight. Movie critics never point out the positives. They only talk about the negatives. Sadly, there were plenty in SM3. What a corny mess it was. I felt like I was in a daycare center reading Red Rover. The movie’s main characters became so corny and overeager that it almost became annoying. The only thing that held the movie together was the seriously surprisingly and intense role Topher Grace played. His performance was real, and somehow the same guy from That 70’s Show pulled off an evil villain to perfection. Too bad he only appears for a small portion of the film when you look back at the overall picture. Anyway, go see it just to see it. But I give it 2 out of 5 stars. Sorry to the big Spidey fans. I will give it one thing. As usual, great special effects and Kirsten Dunst is always something nice to look at.
See you tomorrow when I talk about the long road to Cleveland.
Hey, Mike: I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll keep listening if you will just keep poitching the way you know how. It is a long season and all you need is your 1st of the season and it will be all downhill form there. Keep the positives flowing–we are. | 2019-04-18T16:30:06Z | http://mikeeisenberg.mlblogs.com/2007/05/05/5-days-for-1-day-spider-man-3-review/ |

WHAT’S A BALKIN AND WHO ARE THE BUDDIES?
I’m the Balkin. Well, I’m one of them. I’m one of the Catherine Balkins. My mother was another one, but then a Catherine Balkin in Australiafound me on Facebook. We have no idea if we are related but we hope so, since we felt like sisters when we met during a trip she and her husband made to New York City.
I’m from Buffalo, New York originally, although I lived in New York longer than I lived in Buffalo (about 35 years). Still, that’s where my roots are and where my childhood memories live. Soon I’ll be living in Tampa, Florida, where the Balkin Buddies office will be a bit bigger.
Once upon a time, I worked in advertising, then in publishing. The place I worked at the longest was HarperCollins, where I spent nearly 15 years working with the legendary Bill Morris until he died in 2003. I used to set up author appearances in schools, libraries and at conferences, and handled all marketing activities and events related to HarperCollins' participation in library and educational conferences. If you've ever been to an ALA, IRA, NCTE, ALAN, or TLA, you've probably met me. While at HarperCollins, I also created the first publisher's electronic listserv dedicated to serving teachers and librarians, providing information on awards, authors and illustrators, and the Balkin Buddies blog (http://balkinbuddies.blogspot.com) is something of an extension of that.
Soon after Bill’s death, I started my own author appearance business and thus, Balkin Buddies was born. So I’m still arranging author appearances in schools, libraries and at conferences, and I also do a bit of consulting for various publishers from time to time and a bit of freelance work every now and then. But mainly I work directly with authors and artists, and they, of course, are the buddies. Some of them are old friends, some of them are new. All of them are wonderful, creative, fun, unique, and great with kids.
With the economic downturn, many Balkin Buddies authors and artists have also begun doing online chats via Skype or iChat. One university professor in Florida used Adobe Connect to have her distance learning students in Seattlechat with an author in Tennessee. Online chats are a good deal cheaper than onsite visits. The honorariums are much lower because there’s less preparation time for the author or artist, and there are no expenses like hotel bills, airfare, train fare, or even gas mileage for the hosting organization. You can find more information about this on the online chat page at the Balkin Buddies website (www.BalkinBuddies.com), where you’ll also be directed to other pages with even more details. However, if you prefer, you can just phone or email me (718 857 7605,[email protected]) and I’ll be happy to talk to you directly, but please wait till after August 11, as I’ll be in the moving process until then. In the meantime, you can learn more about me on my Facebook page, although I must warn you, there are a lot of pictures of my two parrots.
Occasionally, I give talks myself, sometimes about author appearances, sometimes about online chats, sometimes about specific subjects I’m asked to address. On November 19, 2011, I will be giving a presentation with an illustrator I represent (Jan Spivey Gilchrist) NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) and we’ll be discussing collaboration between writers and illustrators and she will give a brief illustrating workshop. On November 21, 2011 at ALAN (Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of NCTE), I’ll be on a panel with a writer and a couple of teachers discussing Skype chats.
Deirdra: Can you tell us a little about “Balkin Buddies,” and what your organization does for authors and readers?
Catherine: I set up on-site speaking engagements for about 75 authors and illustrators in schools and libraries and at festivals, conferences, university programs, and any other type of event where they would get paid. I also set up Skype chats for about 40 authors and illustrators in the same types of venues, and for several of them I also set up on-site engagements. I also partially represent a few extra authors and illustrators who basically set up their own speaking engagements but I promote them on my site. Each year, I go to library and educational conferences like ALA, NCTE, and ALAN to promote my business, plus I have a blog which is dedicated to spreading news about my authors and illustrators books and events.
Deirdra: Can you tell us about your experience working with HarperCollins?
Catherine: I was the director of library promotion in the children's book division of HarperCollins and worked with the legendary Bill Morris. I set up speaking engagements for Harper authors and artists (just like I do now at Balkin Buddies). I also published a listserv, of which my current blog is an off-shoot. I also handled all matters related to Harper's participation in library and educational conferences: organizing the booth and autographing sessions, planning author parties, breakfasts, dinners, etc., creating promotional materials for the conferences. Because I worked there for nearly 15 years and Bill was there for nearly 50, we were often the people to go to when no one else knew the answer or where to go to find it. Before HarperCollins, I worked at Macmillan -- the one that was taken over by Simon and Schuster, not the current version.
Deirdra: What is your favorite part of working with authors and illustrators?
Catherine: It's a very personal kind of business, and a lot of them have become good friends. And of course, we all have something in common: we love good books.
Catherine: I don't really know. A couple hundred maybe. I have built-in bookcases in at least two rooms because I find it hard to part with the ones I especially like.
Deirdra: What are the worst mistakes authors make while trying to promote their own books?
Catherine: Failing to learn about the industry is probably the biggest mistake. I advise authors and artists to join SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators: www.scbwi.org), which puts out an excellent newsletter and also offers writers' conferences that feature speakers from publishing industry. The CBC (Children's Book Council: cbcbooks.org) is another good place to go for information.
Deirdra: What advice would you have for traditionally published authors regarding promotion?
Catherine: Every author should have a website that includes a bio, an annotated list of their titles that includes the awards they know it has won, information on how to order their books, information about or a link to their publisher. If they are available for speaking engagements, I'd also suggest they include descriptions of the types of programs they do, how many programs they can do a day, and an honorarium range. I know many people don't like to list their honorariums, but it helps the teachers and librarians a lot to know this kind of information even before they contact you for a variety of reasons (the librarian might be writing a grant, for example, or a teacher may need to let the PTA know how much they need to raise). I'd also suggest contacting their local libraries, schools and bookstores to let them know they're available for speaking and/or autographing. If the author has a publicist at her publishing house, I'd suggest picking his or her brain; and if the house has someone who handles author visits, the author might want to contact that person, too, for the same reason.
Deirdra: What advice would you have for self-published or indie-published authors?
Catherine: To start, I'd suggest hiring an editor to make sure their books are ready for publication. There are some excellent freelance children's book editors available. Here are three: Deborah Brodie (http://deborahbrodie.com/FAQs.html), Emma Dryden of Drydenbks(http://www.drydenbks.com/home.html), Catherine Frank of Catherine Frank Editorial Services, LLC (http://www.editedbycatherine.com). For promotion, I'd suggest hiring a publicist. Here are two very good ones: Media Masters (www.mmpublicity.com and ask for Tracey Daniels or Karen Wadsworth), and Raab Associates (www.raabassociates.com and ask for Susan Raab). For speaking engagements and promotion, every author should have a website with the kind of information I mentioned in my answer to the question above, and, again as above, should contact local libraries, schools, and bookstores to let them know about their books and availability for speaking and/or autographing. Depending on their finances, it would be a good idea to attend some local state library or reading conferences. Also, to make sure their books gets some visibility at these shows like traditionally published authors, I would recommend contacting Combined Book Exhibit (www.combinedbook.com) to find out how much they would charge for various conferences. The contact there is Peter Birch and he'll be able to help the author choose which conferences would be the best venues for his or her book(s).
Contests or raffles – Come up with a contest or raffle (and be sure to base it on some aspect of your book), and publicize it on your website and/or blog, and put up flyers about it at local schools, libraries, and bookstores (be sure to get their permission first – you might even be able to enlist their help).
Set up a Google Alert for the title of your book and one for your name as well. Google will then alert you when it finds one or both on the internet. If the alert lets you know your book has been nominated for an award or received a good review, publicize this news via your website and/or blog and inform all the librarians, teachers, and booksellers you know.
Create bookmarks or postcards of your books (I’ve used 1-800-POSTCARDS.com and they’re quite helpful). Distribute them at conferences, bookstores, libraries, schools.
If you know parents on local PTAs, give them some of your bookmarks and find out if the school would like to have an author visit. If you are self-published, you might offer to do the visit for free if you can sell your books for autographing purposes.
Catherine: I don't really have a favorite kind of book -- or even a favorite age range. My tastes tend to be pretty eclectic. I read my authors' and illustrators' books, of course, and try to read those that have won major awards (Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, etc.), but I've always felt that books are like food. Sometimes I'm in the mood for fine dining (a Newbery winner), sometimes I'm in the mood for home cooking (a good midlist book), and sometimes I'm in the mood for junk food (the latest vampire book).
Catherine: My husband used to read books on his Palm, but the Palm is now a thing of the past so some of the books he bought, he had to buy again. When will Kindle or Nook become a thing of the past? How many times will you have to buy the same book? This is the question that bothers me. Plus, okay, I'm old fashioned. I like the way a book feels in my hands. I appreciate how a book is designed and bound. I love that the 1920s paperback copy of Wuthering Heights I found in my parents' attic when I was eight is still intact in my bookcase.
Catherine: Educate yourself as much as possible about publishing. Writing a book is only 10% of the work. Getting it published, getting it promoted, and keeping it in print is 90%.
Catherine: Yes, I have. It's hard.
Deirdra: What other talents and hobbies do you have?
Catherine: I have two parrots and, being a reader, I have read every book about them I could find. I am now somewhat knowledgeable about them.
Catherine: It used to be the subway. Now it's my living room.
Catherine: No, I don't like to get crumbs on my precious books.
Catherine: It's an honor to be in your company.
Great interview. Thanks so much Catherine for sharing all the useful contacts and your advice. You definitely have had a lot of experience in what you do. Good luck with your move.
Hey, thanks for this interview with an industry expert! I think most writers don't realize how much of the work comes after publication until they're published...er, at least I didn't. But then, I hadn't fully realized how much work went into kids either, haha.
Thank you for this treasure trove of great info. Great interview.
Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving that lovely award.
And wow, lots of information available here, too. Interesting interview.
I enjoyed reading this- very informative and interesting! :) I also love your blog overall.
I'm now following you and definitely plan to visit often!
Great interview, very informative! Also interesting and I loved reading it. It was nice of you to visit mine. Your blog has won a spot on my list of "visit-daily" blogs. Thanks for sharing!
Was checking in for the Star Trek blogfest entry.
Terrific interview! She had the ideal job! I am always fascinated by author's stories and how they came to write.
Thank you for the award. It made my day. I have it on my sidebar and i also grabbed your button.
I enjoyed the interview. I do think she left off one important way to market your books and that is with the bloggers. I know I work hard when I really like a book and I know the author is Indie. I review the book. Use the book in memes, allow the author to do a guest post. I make sure to put my review every where I know the book is being marketed. I do giveaways and interviews. I tweet. I Facebook it and Good Reads it. I know other bloggers work just as hard to help a good book sell. Giving a few bloggers your book to review is a really good investment. | 2019-04-20T07:13:42Z | http://www.astorybookworld.com/2011/08/interview-with-marketing-expert.html |

LinkedIn’s extensive database, coupled with Microsoft’s insights from Microsoft 365, positions the company to enhance machine learning and predictive capabilities going into the future, according to Nadella.
Industry thought leaders indicated the deal benefits both companies, particularly because of LinkedIn’s business database.
Consolidation could continue with the possibility of more Microsoft acquisitions. Microsoft was recently named as one of the companies in the running to potentially buying Marketo, which was acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1.79 billion in May. Microsoft’s hat was also thrown into the ring as a potential buyer when rumors started circling about Salesforce looking to sell.
With the acquisition of LinkedIn, industry experts noted that the possibility of Microsoft acquiring Salesforce is no longer likely.
Microsoft will likely continue to evaluate acquisitions in the future, according to Mary Shea, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research. "That said they have been very strategic with the Lynda.com and now LinkedIn deals. If you buy the combined total addressable market of $ 315B for the LinkedIn/Microsoft entity then there is more than enough market opportunity as well integration and execution challenges for Microsoft to focus on in the near and mid-term to fully maximize the potential of the LinkedIn deal.
Shea added that the LinkedIn acquisition is a huge boon for Microsoft. "Microsoft has already been enjoying some good market traction with Dynamics, and now with the LinkedIn asset Microsoft will have more arrows in its quiver — in and above price — to compete head to head with Salesforce in the enterprise CRM space."
She suggests that, down the road, therer is a possibility for Microsoft to acquire one of the leading sales enablement players. "Perhaps one of the content management platforms that utilize machine learning to push relevant content to B2B sellers at the right point in the cycle and provide other guided selling capabilities." | 2019-04-19T04:16:39Z | https://www.demandgenreport.com/features/industry-insights/microsoft-to-buy-linkedin-for-26-2-billion |

Here’s a recent chat we had with James Sutherland, owner of 56 North, a gin and cocktail bar located in Edinburgh.
A: First tried it at the 2016 Juniper Gin Festival, then met with Karen and Nathan to help with the tonic launch.
A: Friendly and easy to deal with. They want to sell nice products to nice people and are always enthusiastic and keen to work with others. The story of the brand and how it’s back is the very sort of thing I love in the drinks industry.
Q: What’s your favourite flavour?
A: The tonic is the key one for me. It’s light, fresh and works well with a wide variety of great gins.
Q: Favourite way to drink/pair Bon Accord?
A: Good gin, loads of ice, big goblet and then a bottle of the tonic. I’ve got so many gins to play with the sky’s the limit! | 2019-04-21T06:18:51Z | http://www.bonaccordsoftdrinks.com/ba-qa-56-north/ |
Description For some unknown reasons, if you set a ambient_generic have a dynamic preset, it start to loop, even if you have the flag "Is not looped" checked.
Some presets, like the "machine" types, will only loop three times the sound, and then it will stop. It doesn´t stop if you unchecked the flag.
The rest of presets will make loop the sound regarless if you checked the loop flag or not. Some of those presets will go out of control making any kind of noises until it just make stop the sound.
Steps To Reproduce Put an ambient_generic on your map.
Set a dynamic preset on the list.

Filter medias have openings through which air and fluid passes. If the particles in the flow stream are larger than the pores or openings in the filter medium, they will be removed as a result of direct interception by the holes.
Particles in the air stream have mass and velocity, as the air stream passes through a filter media, the air diverts around the fiber, however because the particles tend to move in a straight line, those particles located at or near the center of the flow line will stick or impact upon the fiber and be removed.
In this process, particles are on a collision course with flow stream molecules. These frequent collisions cause the suspended particles to move in a random fashion around the fluid flow lines, which increases the likelihood of contacting the fiber surface and being removed.
Sieving is a simple technique for separating particles of different sizes. For example when a particle is too large to fit between the media fiber spaces. | 2019-04-25T09:49:14Z | https://www.albarrie.com/albarrie-environmental-services/filtration-education/principles-of-filtration/ |
We love granola! You can sprinkle it on yoghurt, ice cream, fruit, porridge – or simply have a spoonful as an afternoon snack. Plus, instead of adding any type of sugar, we’ve swapped it for Praline Nut Butter, which adds a rich roasted pecan flavour and gives this recipe a naturally low sugar content.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with foil.
2. Gently heat the coconut oil in a saucepan until a liquid forms. Stir in the cinnamon and nut butter until well combined.
3. Add the oats, pecans, almonds and pumpkin seeds to the saucepan. Mix everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Pour the granola onto the baking tray and pop it in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring half way through.
6. Let it cool before transferring it into an air-tight container; and add the raisins into the mix (if using).
This recipe can also act as a crumble topping; simply scatter on top of stewed apples and serve with Hot Vanilla Cashew Custard. Enjoy! | 2019-04-18T16:42:19Z | http://www.nutblend.com/blog/crunchy-cinnamon-praline-granola |

I had an opportunity to talk with Steve Singh, CEO of Concur Software about SaaS. Steve’s company Concur is in the business of automating corporate travel and expenses through SaaS (or On-demand as Steve prefers) offerings his company provides. Concur is also one of the few that’s successfully undergone a transition from being a conventional vendor selling On-premises to being a pure SaaS vendor. Did I say succeessful? Concur is now one of the powerhouse SaaS plays, second perhaps only to Salesforce.com. Steve’s a real gentleman to talk to, extremely smart, and as you’ll see, he is passionate about what Concur does and about SaaS in general. He provides a number of key insights that companies thinking about entering the SaaS world should consider.
Below is my transcript on the interview, with my parenthetical remarks (meaning my reaction but not something Steve and I talked about) in parenthesis. Any mistakes are mine, and any great insights are Steve’s!
What’s your elevator pitch to customers about what Concur does?
Steve: It’s an amazing opportunity, so good I have to pinch myself sometimes. We bring innovation to a stagnant market by automating business processes around booking travel and getting expenses reimbursed. This creates a more efficient supply chain around these areas. This kind of processing is amazingly expensive. It costs companies anywhere from $45 to $50 per trip to book travel without automation. We bring that down to $5. It costs $40 to $60 (let’s call it $48 on average) to get an expense report reimbursed and we can automate it to do that typically for under $8 a transaction.
In addition to the savings, we eliminate a ton of paper. We pull data together for mining. We help companies address governance and SOX issues. Think about how big a portion of budget travel and expenses can be. CEO and management have to sign of on the integrity of these transactions. Concur spends something like 2 1/2% of expenses on Travel and Expense reimbursement. That’s a big piece of our budget. And, it’s very hard to govern a process without automating it.
Steve: Our metric is transactions. Think about it like a cell phone plan. You get volume discounts with lots of minutes, and incremental minutes cost more. A volume discount can be thought of as your free minutes.
Concur has 5,000 customers and we’ve sold about 28 million transactions.
What crystallized your decision to go SaaS?
Steve: I would love to tell you there was an epiphany, but we just paid attention to our customers. Our business and stock were doing well, but, there was a realization that our business served large customers well but nobody else. This is true for all conventional software companies. This limited our market and growth. We wondered how best to solve that problem?
The only real example serving customers of any size and with an accountable 2-way relationship was On-demand. Licensed software has no accountability. Our examples were companies like ADP or Paychex. Technologists think they invented everything, but On-demand has been around for decades.
Steve: To make the transition involves a lot of pain. Only some technology is common, everything else has to be reinvented. The best example of what can happen if you get it right is to look at Concur vs Extensity. In March of 2000, both were the same size. During the downturn, Concur went On-demand and Extensity stayed On-premise. Extensity was betting the downturn was the source of their problem, that it was just the economy and their growth would resume as soon as the economy turned around. Fast forward to today and our guidance is almost $35M, Extensity is at $3M.
Steve: It’s about driving a long term business, not short term success. We knew we faced a lot of pain going SaaS, but we wanted to focus on the long-term.
Our first quarter of transition expanded new customers sales faster than ever before. This was like getting instant feedback that our decision had been a good one, so I’ve never looked back.
What Were Your Biggest Fears About the Transition, And How Did They Turn Out?
Steve: Our stock cratered and we wondered in the first 6 months. We replaced all but 2 executives over 9 months. The only 2 that stayed were the founder and myself. Nobody else wanted the job. We had massive changes in sales, support, prod development. We created a new hosting organization. We needed a new consulting organization that changed from traditional SI-style consulting to smaller deployments. Essentially, we started a brand new business.
We didn’t know if people would buy SaaS. Even though customers bought payroll that way from ADP, they weren’t buying anything like what we had. There was no proof they’d buy software as on-demand. We did do customer research, but it was a bet. Our first quarter told it all. We couldn’t have asked for a better response. This is why SaaS is doing so well. It’s cost effective. The vendor is accountable to the customer. The customer’s life is easier. And there is a much lower cost structure.
We also had a fear of whether our people could transition. They had a lot of choices outside Concur. It was the height of dot com. Many wouldn’t take the pain. We lost a lot of folks who wouldn’t do it. Some were fine to lose and some it was very painful.
What surprised you as you moved into the SaaS market that you didn’t expect?
Steve: We knew we’d do well in the middle market bringing enterprise class services that were unavailable to that market before. But we didn’t think global accounts would embrace as quickly as they did. American Express. BofA. Alcoa. They came early. They thought we had a much better solution than any other choice, including our own on-premises software.
The other surprise was how things went with sales. On-demand delivers reduced cash flow versus perpetual. Initially, we tried to incent our sales orgs to tackle big accounts perpetually to offset the cash flow issue. Eventually we made comp completely neutral. Same commission no matter what the customer buys. We let the customers decide whether to go SaaS or On-premises. When the sales comp favored On-premises, it was a 50/50 split. When we made it neutral it went to 99% On-demand versus 1% after comp change.
Steve: Absolutely. Look at what’s happened in the last 30 years. We went from mainframes and sky high transaction costs with few users. Then we went minis. Lower costs, more users. Micro/PC. Web-based On-demand is the lowest cost structure and most users yet. It’s inevitable continuation.
Any other advice for those who want to convert?
Steve: This is just one guy’s prediction. I don’t believe large companies can make the conversion. Forget their genetic code. How many will take the pain? Companies won’t reinvent themselves.
Think of taking a $40B company to On-demand. The value of the business will go through huge negative change. It will get crushed. Cash flow will get crushed. You have to layoff. The transition is really hard and its very sudden.
If you’re north of $100M its hard. Over $1B its impossible.
I’d like to compare businesses that have gone through fundamental shifts in the business model. Very few have done it. Intel is one. But for every Intel there are 100 DECs.
You will see a next generation of leaders that don’t look anything like the last generation. Keep your eye on the SaaS leaders. Lots will happen there.
Check out Part 2, where Steve gives his view on Salesforce, their Force platform, SAP’s ByDesign and acquisition strategy for SaaS companies,. Part 3 discusses Sales and Marketing for SaaS companies as well as some observations Singh makes on future trends in the SaaS world.

And special thanks to Steve Singh for taking so much time to talk with me for this interview.
To Seth Godin’s point, Steve Singh is the guy that said “follow me” at Concur and converted the company from Seth’s green curve to the blue curve.
Rational Security has a great post on the challenges of multicore for vendors of security boxes. You’ll recall that the Multicore Crisis comes about because the impact of Moore’s Law on microprocessor performance has changed. We no longer get a doubling of clock speed every 18 months, instead we double the number of cores. The problem with this, and the reason its a crisis, is that conventional software isn’t designed to make use of more cores.
Performance and throughput matters to these black boxes.
Since they’re just computers, they can run afoul of the multicore crisis too.
Apparently the majority of these boxes are built on software that’s at least 5 years old.
It seems the multicore crisis will find its way to every corner of the computing ecosystem before too long. | 2019-04-23T22:47:45Z | https://smoothspan.com/2007/09/25/ |

All right, that’s not *exactly* true. I’m a writer. I always have words. But right now those words are coming out in a sputtering, expletive filled tirade. Why? Well, here. Go read this. I’ll wait.
About 13 months ago, I got a Kindle. Before that, my reading time was pretty limited. I carry a pretty heavy bag back and forth to work every day, so there simply wasn’t much room for books and I read so fast that I would have often needed to bring 2 books with me at a time. Plus, I tend to flit between two books (say fiction and non-fiction) on the same bus ride, so that could even require up to 4 books in my bag. Not going to happen.
But then came the Kindle. Awesome. I started checking books out from the library. And then, a friend turned me on to The Emperor’s Edge. “It’s free!” she said (for the first book). “Strong female lead!” she said. “I think you’d like it!” she said. Strictly speaking, I don’t think she used that many exclamation points, but the gist was the same.
So I tried it. Loved it. Seriously, by the time I was done I was in love with the characters and the story arc. I didn’t even realize at the time that it was self-published. But I bought the next book in the series. Loved that too. Then I started following the author on Twitter. Then I started following other authors on Twitter. And within a couple of months, I had perhaps 50 different self-published books on my Kindle. Today, the number of self-published books on my Kindle well exceeds the number of traditionally published books on my Kindle.
Is everything self-published great? Of course not. But have I enjoyed at least 95% of all self-published books I’ve read in the past year? Yes. Without a doubt.
So to hear this… person… dismiss all indie writers as crap… well, it’s enough for me to head to Smashwords and go on an indie author buying spree. I suppose in that respect, I should thank him. I’ll probably end up with at least two or three new authors I can’t wait to read.
Edited to add: I really wanted to respond with a comment on this guy’s blog. But I can’t get past the irony of him posting that vitriol on a very poorly formatted blogger.com blog. Brown header text on a brown background? White sidebar headers on light brown backgrounds that are too big for the background image? I kid you not. Every time I try, I just start laughing at my desk. | 2019-04-26T15:39:57Z | http://www.pdeddy.com/i-have-no-words/ |
Vancouver, Canada – Hannan Metals Limited ("Hannan" or the "Company") (TSXV: HAN) (OTCPK: HANNF) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Kilmurry project within the 100% owned Clare zinc project in Ireland after receipt of final drill permissions from the relevant authorities.
Hole 11-3643-10 showed dissolution textures, alteration and mineralization in the upper sequence of the hanging wall, including 0.3m @ 56% zinc + lead at 166m depth and extensive development of fault scarp debris material suggesting the Kilmurry fault was active during sedimentation. The drill hole ended with 3 to 4 times background levels of zinc (> 60 ppm) in highly altered limestone.
Several geological factors make the fault zone a prospective target for zinc-lead-silver mineralization. Firstly, the entire fault zone was active during the formation of the Waulsortian limestone. The individual fault segments are closely spaced and have significant vertical offset, with the maximum mapped offset being one of the largest basin-scale displacements (> 750 metres) mapped in Ireland. Closely spaced faults and significant fault offset along a relay fault system have a direct correlation with rock deformation and mineralizing fluid path ways in Irish-style zinc-lead-silver deposits.
Photo 1: Drill rig sited over drill hole 11-3643-10 and ready to be extended by 200-250 metres to test the mineralized target zone at the base of the Waulsortian limestone. A lovely winter's day in Ireland! | 2019-04-21T05:16:23Z | https://hannanmetals.com/news/2019/hannan-commences-drilling-at-kilmurry-in-ireland/ |

It's been three years since the filing of a suit against the FBI after agents put several Muslims on the No Fly list to retaliate against their refusal to be conscripted as a confidential informants spying on other Muslims; the FBI's illegal retaliation cost their victims their jobs, subjected them to harassment, and cut them off from visits to family overseas.
The FBI and Department of Justice don't dispute the fundamentals in this case: that FBI officers placed Muslims on the No Fly list in retaliation for their refusal to cooperate (and not because they were believed to be a security risk), and that this was illegal.
However, they do object to their victims ability to sue individual FBI officials for their illegal actions; the government's lawyers asked the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to find that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) immunizes corrupt officials from legal consequences of lawbreaking, limiting victims to suing agencies, rather than agents.
The court disagreed. The FBI's victims' suit against the officers who wronged them can proceed to the next step.
Having decided the lawsuit can continue, the Appeals Court decides it doesn't need to reach a finding on the agents' qualified immunity assertions. This will be handled on remand by the lower court, which will first have to make this decision before deciding what (if any) damages the plaintiffs are entitled to.
This is far from a victory for the plaintiffs but it does open the door for similar lawsuits against federal officers for harassment and intimidation tactics deployed in hopes of turning lawful residents and visitors into government informants. Raising the possibility of a successful lawsuit above the previously-presumed zero percent should hopefully act as a minor deterrent against future abuses of power. | 2019-04-20T04:55:48Z | https://boingboing.net/2018/05/11/sovereign-immunity.html |

One year when I was a kid, my family was driving to Abilene to spend Christmas with my Grandparents (dad's parents). This particular year, we were driving at night on Christmas Eve. My brother and I were in the back seat together and spotted a red light in the sky off in the distance. We told my mom and dad that it must be Rudolph's nose and that Santa was obviously on his way. They agreed with us. We felt so special to have spotted, even just for a moment, evidence of Santa and his reindeer. Now knowing that it was either a plane or a light atop a radio tower doesn't matter - I still remember that night and how excited we were.
Hey! I'm glad you liked the E! party pics! It was a lot of fun. I set up a Christmas tree in my apt, one that was my grandparents when my mom was little. There's no snow here, so it never really feels like Christmas. I'm sure your house looks adorable. I can just picture it, I'm sure it's all decked out!!! | 2019-04-21T18:40:55Z | http://www.cookefam.com/2006/12/rudolphs-nose.html |
The Christmas market in Reims is being held just in front of the cathedral, which is beautifully lit and adorned with a giant Christmas tree. The marché is full of ideas for Christmas, from handcrafted presents to food and drink, including some rather special bottles of champagne. In Châlons-en-Champagne bubbles rub shoulders with the baubles decorating the chalets to give an equally enchanting ambiance. Finally, at Grinyland you can enjoy a special moment meeting Father Christmas… Wherever you go, a magical break is in store for young and old alike! | 2019-04-26T12:10:29Z | https://www.visitfrenchwine.com/en/event/christmas-champagne |

Care regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has released another 18 reports into learning disability residential facilities and found that only a third were fully compliant with the 2 essential standards it investigated.
The reports are the sixth batch to be released, as part of the CQC's programme of 150 unannounced inspections of learning disability hospitals and care homes. Inspections focused on 2 outcomes relating to the Government's essential standards of quality and safety: the care and welfare of people who use services, and safeguarding people who use services, from abuse. The CQC inspectors found that only 6 facilities were fully compliant with both standards, although 7 more raised minor concerns. In relation to the care and welfare outcome, the CQC had minor concerns about 7 facilities, moderate concerns about 4 and a major concern about one. In relation to safeguarding, the CQC found 10 locations compliant, had minor concerns with 5, a moderate concern with one and major concerns with 2.
The 18 facilities inspected comprised 8 NHS, 4 independent health care and 6 adult social care locations. Inspectors reported major concerns against both outcomes at Harkstead Barn in Ipswich, run by United Response, and a major and a moderate concern at Shear Meadow in Hemel Hempstead, run by Cambrian Learning Disabilities Ltd. At Harkstead Barn, inspectors found that care plans and health action plans were not being reviewed or updated to reflect changes in people's needs. They also found that systems to prevent and identify abuse were inadequate. The main concern at Shear Meadow was that, although procedures were in place to prevent and identify abuse, they were not always followed. There were risks to the safety and wellbeing of people receiving support as the number of restraints used were not monitored or analysed. All the services, where concerns are identified, have to tell the CQC how and when they will improve.
Those failing to meet essential standards could face enforcement action by the regulator if improvements are not made.
The CQC will publish a national report based on the findings from all 150 reports later in the year. To view the individual inspection reports, click here. | 2019-04-22T20:16:22Z | https://www.learningdisabilitytoday.co.uk/more-learning-disability-residential-facilities-failing |

I thought this recipe was a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people ask what the actual seven layers are in Seven Layer Dip. So here ya go.
The secret is using picante sauce where so many people use salsa because it gives you just enough zing to cut through the creaminess.
(It’s also technically 8 layers if you include the tomatoes on the top, but it will be so good that no one will complain.) Now go getcho chips and enjoy.
If you want to serve the dip hot, preheat the oven to 350.
Mix mayo and sour cream together.
Layer ingredients in order, starting with beans and ending olives.
Bake for 30 minutes, top with tomatoes and serve. Or, if you’re of the more impatient variety or you prefer this cold, add tomatoes, sit and chow. | 2019-04-21T16:32:03Z | https://nummynumnum.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/seven-layer-dip/?shared=email&msg=fail |

World-leading research is one of SFC’s strategic outcomes. As described in our strategic plan, Scotland will nurture, develop and train the international research leaders and Noble Laureates of tomorrow.
Because of this, we are committed to ensuring the best possible environment for the development of early career researchers and postgraduate students.
We give universities the Research Postgraduate Grant (RPG) to invest in the environment for high quality research training and development, and to enhance the contribution of postgraduate research students to the research base in Scotland.
Our continued investment in research pooling also exposes our future research leaders to an environment of cutting-edge research with additional training in a range of high-level and transferable skills.
We are committed to the following UK wide initiatives supporting researcher development. We work closely with other bodies across the UK to ensure these are implemented efficiently and effectively.
The Concordat provides a clear statement about the responsibilities of researchers, employers and funders of research in maintaining high standards of integrity in the conduct of research.
This Concordat is a set of principles to encourage public engagement to boost the social and economic impact of research. It was drawn up by the organisations that fund research in the UK.
This Concordat is a statement setting out the expectations and responsibilities of researchers, their managers, employers and funders in relation to career development. It aims to increase the attractiveness and sustainability of research careers in the UK and to improve the quantity, quality and impact of research for the benefit of UK society and the economy.
We encourage Scottish HEIs to participate in the Careers in Research Online Survey designed to explore the working conditions, career aspirations and career development opportunities to research staff. The survey runs every two years, with the most recent survey completed in 2015.
Complementary to the Careers in Research Online Survey (CROS), Principal Investigators and Research Leaders Survey (PIRLS) aims to collect responses from research leaders on how they gained the experience and capabilities needed to become leaders, and how the research leaders of tomorrow may gain the experience and capabilities that they will need. PIRLS runs every two years, with the most recent survey completed in 2015. | 2019-04-21T11:01:58Z | http://www.sfc.ac.uk/research/research-career-development/research-career-development.aspx |

Following speculation that money raised from the sale of six B&Q stores would be used to fund Kingfisher’s transformation plan, the global home improvement giant has said this is not the case.
A report in the Sunday Times suggested that Kingfisher CEO Veronique Laury was hoping to raise £125million via the sale and leaseback of six B&Q stores in order to help fund Kingfisher's five-year turnaround plan, One Kingfisher. Subsequent news outlets have picked up on the story and continued the rumours.
However, while Kingfisher has today confirmed the sale leaseback process, it insists it is not linked to the transformation plan, with a spokesperson adding that the company has “net cash on the balance sheet, profits of more than £700million a year, and no pension fund deficit”.
The stores in question are Birmingham, Croydon, Southampton, Cardiff and two in the north east of England.
Last year we were told tool time tool sales promotion at Xmas was worth. Millions to the company. This year they haven't bothered, sales are well down with no xmas promotional activities, mass out of stocks, staff have left in droves replaced by lovely but inexperienced Eastern European workers, staff bonuses taken away and replaced with bonus based on unachievable targets have cost staff 6% of their salary, while the CEO and directors have received bigger than normal bonuses. Lowery has destroyed BQ UK, and is continuing to do so how long before kingfisher dumps BQ like it did woolworths, remember before they sold woolworths they sold off the property that it owned!
I wonder how long the vision of the VL will continue to pull the group to the very bottom? How many days will it go before someone thinks that this is the last moment to change the direction of development ... To stop this madness, to regain value of shares and investor confidence ... The group is bad, and it will be even worse. The single product market is not working (China does not manage to produce everything on time), people in each group's countries are different and have different feelings of aesthetics and other needs, and no 10,000 projects will change ... Similar selling prices are also a nail to the coffin, check the price of tools, for example MacAllister in England and some EU country, and refer to the average level of earnings. This is some massacre. And the SAP system will catch us all.
Members of the recently formed Landlords Alliance have started a Nationwide boycott of B&Q and Screwfix due to the former's support of Shelter. The 'charity' leads or supports every attack that is happening on the Private Rented Sector. These attacks are causing the sector to contract at over 4000 properties a month and are therefore resulting in massive numbers of families losing their homes. These households are then left looking for somewhere new to rent in a shrinking market and often end up at their council's doors but with little in the way of social housing stock, the result is homelessness. | 2019-04-20T12:18:37Z | https://www.diyweek.net/kingfisher-confirms-sale-and-leaseback-of-b-q-stores |

Welcome to our webpage for 2017/18.
We will also be learning how to classify animals in science and learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.
KIRF challenges are on a Wednesday. Use these games to help you practise.
Class 2 will be 'out and about' this half term - investigating how plants grow, identifying trees and plants in the school grounds and exploring the local area in order to create a map. We shall also be studying the beautiful work of Georgia O'Keefe in art and all of our work in English will be inspired by garden based books!
In art, we have been learning about the work of Georgia O'Keefe. We looked carefully at lots of her paintings and observed what we noticed they all had in common. We then replicated some of her work before using her style to create some of our own flowers!
In computing, we used a paint program to create some of our own digital art flowers in the style of Georgia O'Keefe!
We have been learning the names of common plants in science and learning how to identify them.
In science, we have been learning about which parts of plants are edible! We then created our own completely edible plant and gave it a funny game! Have a look at some of our creations below.
This half term Class 2 will be thinking about how we can make a difference to ourselves, to other people, to animals, to the world around us and to our school retreat garden! We will also be learning about the stories of Easter and Holy Week and thinking about the diffrence that Jesus made.
As part of our D&T project, we designed and created our very own bird feeders to help make a difference to our gardens at home. They're bright and colourful to hopefully attract lots of birds!
Class 2 won the skipping competition on February 27th!
I would like to say a big well done to everybody in Class 2 for their fantastic participation. You all tried so hard and performed your new skipping skills brilliantly! I'm really proud of all of you and am looking forward to the final with you in June! Keep practising those skipping skills at home!
They Day Class 2 Tried Shrinking Spray!
Class 2 stumbled across a letter for the giant from Jack! Jack had also sent him some shrinking spray which we tried! Have a look at what we got up to when we shrank to the size of a pea!
KIRF challenges are on Wednesdays. Use these games to help you practise.
Class 2 will be ‘connecting up’ and adventuring to the North and South Poles! We shall be learning about the Arctic and Antarctic and how they differ from where we live. We will also be learning how to write postcards and letters as a way of connecting with other people.
We had a visit from the Road Safety Team at Leeds City Council. They taught us how to be safe when on or near the roads and about the green cross coad: Think, Stop, Look, Listen! We then went outside to practise using the green cross code when crossing the road.
In science, we have been learning about how animals are suited to living in different habitats. We found out that polar bears have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in the freezing Arctic! We tested this by putting our hand into a layer of 'blubber' and then putting it in some cold water. It was much warmer with the blubber!
As part of our Polar Regions topic, we were given the challenge of making an ice house out of some mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks! There were some super ideas for designs and it also helped us to revise our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes as we built them. Have a look at them below!
In English, we have been writing some non-fiction report about arctic foxes. We used the internet and a selection of BBC videos to help us learn lots of different facts about them. The video below was one of our favourites! It made us all laugh!
This half term, Class 2, will be learning about the wonders of our bodies and food! Throughout the curriculum, we will develop our skills of problem solving and questioning. We shall also be learning about the wonders of Christmas and practising for our school nativity, 'Jesus' Christmas Party'.
A very big well done to everyone in Class 1 and 2 for their fantastic performance of Jesus' Christmas Party. You all performed brilliantly and we are very proud of you.
We visited Jamie's Italian and York's Chocolate Story earlier this month to support our learning in D&T. We had such a fantastic day! At Jamie's, we learned about all the different types of pasta, learned how the pasta machine worked and then had a go at making our own stuffed ravioli! It was great fun! Then we went to York's Chocolate Story where we learned when chocolate was first made, how it is made and then made our own chocolate lollies. We also had lots of tasters along the way, yum! Have a look at some of the photos below!
We used a selection of different fruits to make our own faces! We ate them afterwards and they were delicious! Lots of us tried fruits we hadn't eaten before!
We learnt about the Italian artist, Arcimboldo who used to paint portraits using fruit, vegetables and plants! We then created our own. How many different fruits and vegetables can you see in each one?
In science, we have been learning about different body parts and our senses. We worked in small groups to label different parts of the body.
This half term our learning will be linked to the big story of the Bible. In RE, we will be looking at an overview of the Bible and the sequencing of events. In particular, we will learn about the story of creation, considering what we appreciate most. We will then look at Jesus' arrival and think about the good news he brought. A selection of parables will be read in English lessons to inspire some of our writing and in geography we will learn about and locate some of the places that Jesus visited. | 2019-04-18T19:00:37Z | http://www.ladyhastings-thorparch.leeds.sch.uk/curriculum/classes/class-2-3/class-2-3-1 |
NeuVector, which delivers continuous network security for containers, today announced the immediate availability of NeuVector 1.3, the most significant release of the container firewall security solution since its initial launch. Adapting to evolving container security needs, NeuVector 1.3 features a wealth of key security, integration, and UI additions. NeuVector is also releasing a new Enterprise version of the solution, which features capabilities specifically designed for large-scale deployments.
NeuVector is the only true Layer 7 container firewall, providing Layer 7 filtering for all container traffic, along with network intelligence that understands application intent and disallows suspicious behavior. NeuVector 1.3 enhances these critical protections across several fronts, including the ability to detect attacks that rely on tunneling (a technique used to conceal attacks). The new release also adds automatic forensic capture on every detected threat, and makes it simple for security teams to safeguard connections to and from external and legacy networks. The NeuVector solution is compatible with Docker encrypted networks (enabling inspection of encrypted connections), and is also integrated with Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, and Kubernetes.
The NeuVector 1.3 solution – a container itself – further leverages its strategic position within Docker cluster deployments to add a series of new general host and container security features. The solution now detects suspicious process and privilege escalations within hosts or containers, thwarting breakout attempts as attacks seek to spread malware or probe other vital resources. NeuVector 1.3 also detects reverse shell connections, which attackers use to connect a compromised host or container to a command and control server in order to run commands remotely. These capabilities join NeuVector’s existing auditing and compliance features – such as vulnerability scanning and CIS benchmark security testing – in delivering effective security against known threats.
Additionally, to make large-scale adoption easier for customers, an Enterprise version of the solution is now available. In addition to offering the security capabilities included in NeuVector 1.3, the enterprise-specific product features include polices based on DNS names, webhook notifications for critical security events, REST API integration for automation into CI/CD pipelines, rolling updates to maintain protection during NeuVector updates, and priority technical support. Access control support for single sign-on (SSO), SAML, and LDAP integration is also added.
NeuVector NeuVector was founded by security and enterprise software veterans with the vision of simple, scalable security for container based applications. The team has over 20 years of security, virtualization, and enterprise software experience from companies such as VMWare, Fortinet, Cisco, and Trend Micro. | 2019-04-24T08:36:55Z | http://www.dabcc.com/neuvector-launches-new-version-of-container-firewall-security-solution/ |
Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the validity of Marshall-Lerner condition and the existence of J curve for the Turkish economy. Because of transition to the floating exchange rate regime in 2001, the analyzing period has been chosen as 2003-2016 to use monthly data for the related variables. After conducting unit- root and cointegration tests, the estimated VECM results show that Marshall- Lerner condition holds for the Turkish case. On the other hand, estimated VECM produces impulse- response functions that prove the existence of J curve for the Turkish economy in the long run. | 2019-04-23T12:09:44Z | https://econpapers.repec.org/article/arpijefrr/2018_3ap_3a125-130.htm |

In our quest for finding the perfect solution for issues pertaining to hair, skin and overall health we couldn’t help but be led consistently towards the miracle plant Aloe Vera. The benefits of Aloe Vera gel are multi-fold and, as any frequent user can tell you, impeccable. So what is it, how to use it and why are we calling it a miracle plant?
Aloe vera has two major components; aloe gel and the latex. Gel is obtained from within the plant and is the clear jelly like substance. The latex is yellow in color.
Note: Aloe gel is safe to use while caution needs to be taken for the latex.
HOW TO EXTRACT ALOE VERA GEL??
Take a freshly cut Aloe Vera stem and use a butter knife to peel off the tough skin from one side. You will now be able to see a clear jelly like substance set within the plant in somewhat a solid-ish state. Using the same butter knife gently start grating the jelly surface in broad strokes moving upward to downward. You will notice immediately that the gel will start oozing. Collect the gel in a jar or a bowl. Be careful not to go deep into the green skin so that latex can be avoided. The benefits we are about to tell you only apply to gel.
Aloe Vera is a great remedy for a sun burn. Apply a little gel onto the affected area as it is a known healer and has proven to heal wounds faster than most medicated dressings.
Not only that, it has anti-bacterial properties and is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals that help stop eczema, acne, rosacea and psoriasis flare-ups.
Many beauty experts maintain that aloe vera is an excellent way to remove makeup, especially raccoon eyes. Your average makeup removers have a lot of harsh chemicals that dry out the skin and cause pigmentation. The recommended way to use Aloe Vera is to squeeze a drop onto a cotton ball and remove makeup. It is that simple!
Aloe Vera also helps in getting rid of those pesky dark circles that never seem to go away by utilising vitamin E, A, C and B12. Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel on a cotton ball and apply on the circles every night before you sleep.
Aloe Vera gel can also be used as a face mask as it hydrates and nourishes the skin and is simple to make at home.
To make the face wash, mix 1 tbps of aloe gel with 1 tsp of almond milk, 1 tsp lemon, apply it on you face like a regular face wash and let it stay for one minute before rinsing.
To make the face mask simply add rose water to aloe vera gel (enough to give your face and neck good coverage). Wash you face and neck and apply the mask evenly. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and massage gently before removing.
Aloe Vera can be used to exfoliate by making it into a homemade scrub. Mix 1/2 cup aloe gel, with enough brown sugar to get it gritty. Rub on your elbows, heels, arms of wherever you need and wash.
Use Aloe Vera gel for strong brows to keep them tidy. Take a clean mascara wand, dip into Aloe gel and sweep over stray brows to keep them in place. On the other hand, if your brows have been over-tweezed or are lighter genrally, mix one part of aloe gel with one part castor oil it helps grow eyebrows faster.
WARNING: Do not take aloe gel internally if you are pregnant according to the ‘Prescription for Nutritional Healing, The A-to-Z Guide to Supplements, ” by nutritional counsellor Phyllis Balch. Avoid taking aloe vera during menstruation. Aloe is good in little doses as it is a high potency substance. Ensure that regulated doses are consumed and no high doses are taken. Please discontinue use of aloe vera gel if there is any form of discomfort or reaction. In cases like these, immediately consult your doctor. | 2019-04-23T12:51:05Z | https://www.siddysays.com/benefits-aloe-vera-gel/ |

How much storage are you actually using?
Most people use less than half of their allotted storage amount.
Ask not how much cloud storage your provider is giving you—ask how much storage you're actually using.
Depending on how much you store, your $10 may last you months or even years. After that, just top-up your account.
You can make a one-time payment to top-up your account at anytime. We accept all major credit cards, as well as Bitcoin.
Tiered pricing systems are, by definition, unfair to a large percentage of its customers.
Imagine if a gas station decided to charge every customer the same fixed price to fill their tank. What price would the gas station pick? Not the cost of the smallest car, because then they'd lose money. And not the cost of the most expensive car either, because then every customer would be upset. So the gas station would need to pick a price somewhere in the middle.
Which means that approximately 50% of its customers are going to end up paying more, and 50% are going to pay less. This might sound great if you’re driving a truck with a larger gas tank. But it also means the smaller customers are getting ripped off, in order to subsidize the larger customers. And we think that’s unfair.
With us you only pay for what you use. If you only use half a gigabyte, then we only charge you for half a gigabyte. We're talking pennies, or even fractions of a penny.
PS - We don't round up your cost. We have the ability to charge you fractions of a penny.
When you create your account, we'll give you $10 credit. At the end of every month, we calculate your bill based on how much storage you used. This amount is deducted from your available balance. If your balance is still above zero, then you're good to go. If it drops below zero, then we'll pester you for money.
Payments are simple. You can make a one-time payment at anytime to top-up your account. Or you can setup automatic payments, and we'll automatically top-up your account for you when your balance drops below zero.
Files stored in the cloud are automatically transitioned to Infrequent Access after not being modified/accessed for 30 days. If a transitioned file is then not modified/accessed for an additional 60 days, it's automatically transitioned to Cold Storage. So you pay less for files you store longer. For most users, this represents over 90% of their storage.
Storage is billed using a unit called "gigabyte months", which means "1 gigabyte stored for an entire month". This is similar in concept to a "kilowatt hour" on your electric bill. And the idea is to charge you the minimum amount possible. If you only store a document for 10 days, then we only charge you for those 10 days.
We don't round up your cost. We have the ability to charge you fractions of a penny. We can do this because we're just deducting from your balance in a computer system. After all, those fractions of a penny are yours, and we think you deserve them.
Alice stores a total of 1.5 GB (in cold storage) for the entire month. She pays 8.1¢ for the first gig, and 3.55¢ (7.1 / 2) for the second half gig. Her total storage cost for the month is $0.1155.

"My misgivings evaporated, though, as the evening mellowed, and the salt taste of harsher experience strengthened the tepid concoction."
"It was, however, only in the play’s dying moments, as Mortimer faces the debilities of old age, that I felt I got a glimpse of the character’s humanity. Jack Fox, meanwhile, touchingly shows how Charlie’s carefree hedonism turns into filial love."
" the piece feels alienatingly cosy and complacent, except for those touching moments near the end where the son recognises the depth and steadiness of his dying father's undemonstrative love."
"Philip Franks’s loving production captures well this subtle mood of a very English understatement and Fox senior’s customary suave detachment is a fine match for Roger’s tone." | 2019-04-21T22:07:02Z | https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/dear-lupin-average-press-rating |
