The client’s goal is to assemble a “living laboratory” of like-minded businesses to collaborate on ideas and services related to evolving green technologies. To this end, the building renovation includes several sustainable features such as a massive geothermal system to significantly reduce energy consumption and water usage.

MARQUETTE — The Marquette Township Board set the schedule for its annual plan of work during a work session Tuesday at the Marquette Township Community Center.
Among items for consideration for the year are the retirement and replacement of Fire Chief Ron DeMarse, the township’s police services contract with the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office, the Public Works Department and phase II of the township’s water project, the capital improvement program, fire department apparatus maintenance and replacement, the Peter White Public Library millage and the 2019 budget.
Members will also hear an update at the next regular board meeting on Tuesday about the search for DeMarse’s replacement. He is set to retire on May 31.
At its March 20 meeting, the board will briefly discuss information that members would like clarified in the township’s contract with the sheriff’s office.
During its second meeting in April, the board scheduled a discussion on public works and phase II of the water project.
According to its website, the township currently serves over 1,100 metered customers and supplements its groundwater by purchasing treated Lake Superior water from the city of Marquette.
The contract with the city expires in 2028, Marquette Township Manager Randy Girard said.
Trustee Dave Wiegand said the water in the township should be a topic of conversation because the township has decisions to make.
“We need to take a look at what happens with the city contract or what we think is going to happen; there are two or three options,” Wiegand said.
At its May 22 meeting, the board will discuss the township’s capital improvement program.
For its meeting on June 19, the board is scheduled to discuss apparatus maintenance and replacement for the Marquette Township Fire Department.
Girard said if there were a new millage to be established, he recommends the funds be directed toward maintenance of existing equipment and replacement when necessary.
The board opted to enter into budget discussions during its first meeting in July, as its last scheduled item.
Township Supervisor Lyn Durant said the township plan of work is a living document. | 2019-04-20T15:08:40Z | http://www.miningjournal.net/news/front-page-news/2018/02/marquette-township-board-sets-major-agenda-items/ |
Dos Santos vs. Velasquez expected for Dec.
A heavyweight title fight between UFC champion Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez is likely for December 29 at the promotion’s annual year-end show.
UFC president Dana White revealed the news following UFC 150 last Saturday in Denver.
Dos Santos and Velasquez first met at the first-ever “UFC on FOX” event last November. Velasquez lost his heavyweight title to the Brazilian striker after a first round knockout loss.
Since then, dos Santos has competed just once, as he met Frank Mir earlier this summer at UFC 146. The champ defended his title, earning a second round technical knockout stoppage win.
Meanwhile, Velasquez also has fought one time since losing his title. He, too, competed at UFC 146, earning a technical knockout victory over Antonio Silva.
The two will now meet in their rematch at the end of the year. The fight will headline the yet-to-be-announced event, which is expected to be UFC 155.

The image backdrop. A rhinoceros. The shadow plane. The small man is 4 feet in front of the rhinoceros.
The small yellow leaf. The ground has a dirt texture. the ambient light is black.
a man faces east. there is a [mr. biggs] wall. there is a large bird.
Nature’s first green is gold. Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower. But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. | 2019-04-23T12:07:26Z | http://www.wordseye.com/gallery/tags/poetry |

One of the most frequent issues that many of my NGO clients have is connecting with people who are truly interested in their issues on Twitter. While it’s easy to find followers, it’s much more difficult to find relevant followers.
For the last few years I frequently recommended using SocialBro (now: “Audiense”) because it had a very nifty feature that made it easy to do just that: you could search for a phrase or hashtag with AND/OR/NOT operators, see who is using this term and then filter the results by number of followers, language, whether you already follow them or not etc..
While a lot of tools offer a keyword search across Twitter profiles, SocialBro searched the actual tweets. This is a very important difference, because what a person tweets about is far more relevant than how he/she describes him/herself in the bio. Think about it: it is far more likely that someone interested in climate change has used #climatechange in a tweet than in his bio.
Unfortunately, with the name-change to Audiense, SocialBro also changed their pricing. While you used to be able to do this type of search as part of your normal subscription, you now have to pay 150 USD to buy a package of 50,000 results based on your queries, in addition to your monthly subscription fee.
Below is the short list of alternatives I have found so far. If you have experience using any of them, please leave a comment below. The listed prices do not include possible non-profit discounts.
I’m not a huge fan of Commun.it because I don’t like their interface and the constant nagging to upgrade is driving me nuts. But when it comes to identifying users worth following, they are doing things slightly better than Mention: Commun.it shows either a “follow” or an “unfollow” button next to each name making it much easier to go through the list. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to filter the results so you still have to scroll past users you are already following.
If you thought Commun.it’s interface was bad, don’t even think about looking at Socialoomph. Setting up an alert has the charm of configuring a Wifi Router. However, if you don’t mind that, then there is a lot to like: Socialoomph has a lot of configuration options and you can search for up to five keywords at any given time. I particularly like that you can easily choose between following someone or adding him/her to a Twitter list.
With all the tools that I have listed so far, finding people is one of many features. Refollow, on the other hand, is a one-trick pony that focuses only on helping you decide who to follow and unfollow. For the purpose of finding people based on hashtags or keywords it is by far my favourite, since it comes closest to what I used to do with Socialbro. Whether that functionality alone is worth 20 USD/month is something only you can answer. With Refollow you can easily set criteria to identify people talking about certain topics and you can filter the results so that you only see those that you are not already following. The interface is very clean, but unfortunately some of the settings are a bit hard to interpret.
Have you used any of these tools? Can you recommend one that wasn’t mentioned? Please leave a comment! | 2019-04-20T14:12:40Z | http://sm4good.com/2016/03/22/find-relevant-twitter-followers/ |
Fleetwood Mac unveiled a massive Deluxe Edition of its revered double album Tusk late last year that featured 22 previously unreleased live performances selected from the band’s 1979-80 tour. Until now, those concert recordings have only been available as part of the set and only on CD and digitally. That will change soon with the release of Fleetwood Mac: In Concert.
All of the live music from the 2015 reissue of Tusk will be available on March 4th from Warner Bros. Records as a three-LP set. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, the albums will be presented in a tri-fold jacket and available for a suggested list price of $59.98.
Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks originally released Tusk in October of 1979. The Grammy Award-nominated, double-album went onto sell more than four million copies worldwide and introduced fans to hits like “Sara,” “Think About Me,” and the title track.
The music heard on In Concert was recorded at four stops during the band’s 111-show world tour promoting Tusk. This new collection serves as a worthy companion to the classic 1980 album Live. Although a few songs are duplicated from that album, including “Say You Love Me,” “Landslide” and “Go Your Own Way,” each performance on In Concert is unique and taken from a different show.
In Concert boasts ten songs not heard on Live, including “World Turning” from the Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self-titled release, and “The Chain” from the band’s best-selling album Rumours (1977), a Grammy-award winning juggernaut that has sold more than 40 million copies. | 2019-04-25T10:42:07Z | https://themusicuniverse.com/fleetwood-mac-in-concert-available-on-triple-vinyl-march-4th/ |

Redding Music Producer and Artist LAEL, Jeff Schneeweis, and his wife Hayes, along with their three girls, and pets, have lost their entire home in the Carr fire.
The news was confirmed in the early morning of Saturday, July 28, 2018. They have lost their entire home and all of their belongings, including most of Jeff's home studio equipment and favorite instruments. Thankful for their lives and their family, they now have to begin to rebuild their entire home all that they have lost. Jeff, Hayes, the girls, and the pets are safe and out of Redding with the bare essentials.
In the coming months they will need to relocate, rebuild, and reestablish the home that they had created for each other and their three girls, Lydia, Abigail and Clarity.
All those who know Jeff know that he made his living from his home. He is an esteemed music producer, engineer, and artist, and he put his whole life into his creative spaces. While he was able to save his completed works, sadly most of his equipment was lost in the fire, (not included in picture below) including his beloved late mothers piano.
The funding of the campaign will be helping with all the costs of moving, getting clothing, and everyday living expenses, along with replacing house furniture and studio equipment. Starting with the basics, from the ground up.
Please share on social network sites Facebook, Instagram, twitter etc... with whomever you can, and remember that any amount helps as Jeff, Hayes, and the girls rebuild their home.
This is truly has been the most devastating situation, and it continues to be for so many who have lost their homes in the Carr fire. When everything has been lost, we gather together to push forward...regroup, repair, and rebuild. Jeff, Hayes, and the girls are so fortunate to have so much support and are determined to push through this difficult time with optimism and love.
Our family thanks you for the continued support. | 2019-04-20T08:43:39Z | https://www.gofundme.com/carr-fire-destroys-schneeweis-home |
What qualities do the best leaders have? Do you have any idea what they are? Do you feel that you can lead? One quality of a lead is humility and the ability at take a few knocks. This article may point out some things you have yet to incorporate.
No one is able to read your mind. State fully how the work needs to be done, and the various steps to get there. Be open to questions. That way, if staff members don’t understand your instructions, they won’t hesitate to come to you and ask for advice.
Emotional intelligence plays a large role in your success as a leader. It’s not enough to know every policy, procedure, and protocol. You also have to know people! Research in this area reveals that a leader’s mood can have a significant impact on team members’ performance. A positive, forward-thinking attitude tends to result in higher productivity and greater job satisfaction.
Serve as a model for the actions you want from your team. If you act out emotionally then you can expect your team members to follow suit. If you’re lazy and untrustworthy, your team will think that they can be too. If you show real respect and trust, more than likely your employees will learn from it and mirror it back.
You can become an innovative leader by stepping outside the box. Most leaders, and employers, look for problems, and try to find ways to fix them. Instead, try to focus on the strengths of your team, and build on them. You will achieve much more with a strengthened workforce than a few easily-solved issues.
To become a better leader, put the above tips to good use. When you choose to become a leader, you open up a new world of possibilities. Realize these things and keep pushing while having the confidence you need to have success at leading. | 2019-04-20T08:53:58Z | https://www.youngleadership.co/get-your-leadership-skills-on-the-right-track-by-using-these-tips.html |

They have 5p and 10p bingo rooms with a low maximum card purchase of 24 cards (which makes it fairer for everyone) and access to the five £1000 bingo games that play every Friday for the week’s depositors.
The theme of the site is the 1980s – it used to be themed on a 1980s aerobics class but now has a more general 80s theme with arcade style graphics – and probably the most entertaining aspect of this is the names of the daily jackpot games which include “Loadsamoney” and “Spandau Bingo”. There also used to be a free bingo room called “Nineteen Eighty Free” but this is now gone and free bingo is for recent depositors only. Rewind Bingo also has the Diamond Club VIP/loyalty scheme which covers all the sites in the group, so players can spend Diamonds earned at Rewind elsewhere and vice versa.
Rewind was one of the first Ignite sites to switch from a bingo bonus offer to a free bingo ticket offer and as free bingo ticket offers go it’s an attractive one offering a considerable amount of choice over when to use the tickets.
Access to Bingo Academy free room with small cash prizes for 24 hours following registration. 120 free bingo tickets on 1st deposit, 30 for each of these rooms: Ticket to Ride - 75 ball with 1TG/2TG Just the Ticket - 75 ball coverall Golden Ticket - 90 ball Choo Choo Ticket - 5 line Each game has a £10 cash prize pot and games play every 20 minutes during the afternoon and evening. Max 6 tickets per game.
4 x (deposit+bonus) or 8 x bonus. Cash play does not count.
Winnings from any slots bonus / free spins restricted to bonus + £400. | 2019-04-23T06:02:21Z | https://www.bestnewbingosites.co.uk/bingo-site/rewind-bingo/ |

WUN recently attended the 2015 Global Workspace Association Conference in Denver, where we were both a Platinum Sponsor and exhibitor. The GWA Conference is a way for members to keep current on trends and issues of interest to workspace-as-a-service providers. For four days, some of the industries top leaders participated in panel discussions and vendors who service the industry set up booths to interact with workspace operators. The GWA also toured 3 business centers on Saturday, including two WUN clients, Your Office Denver and Shift Workspaces.
The WUN booth and demo room were a big hit among attendees, but not nearly as big a hit as our WUNbot. The team was all smiles as they presented WUN HD to those at the conference. Didn’t get a chance to learn about WUN HD in Denver, there’s still time to sign up for a free Demo.
We are honored to have been named the 2015 Fourth Dimension Award winners at the conference, “an award honoring high achievement beyond space, i.e. in technology, marketing or other non-‘bricks and mortar’ achievement.” Congratulations to all the other award winners! | 2019-04-18T19:06:51Z | https://www.wunsystems.com/blog/wun-systems-at-the-gwa-conference-2015/ |

Today I am excited to be guest posting over at Simple Acres Blog. I am sharing my recipe for spiced peanut butter yogurt dip. This is one of my go to snacks, but with a bit of a fall twist with pumpkin pie spice. This makes a perfect mid day work or after school snack or even breakfast and it great for adults and kids alike.
Head on over to Simple Acres Blog for the recipe!
These are super easy and have a wonderful sweet and spicy flavor. They are great to use anywhere you would use regular pickles (sandwiches, burgers, etc.) and are also great on their own.
Add sliced cucumbers and onions to a 32oz glass jar.
Bring all other ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan and stir until sugar dissolves.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the cucumbers and onions to fill the jar.
Allow to cool at room temperature then store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Our animal hospital offers veterinary chiropractic care. Chiropractics is the practice of manipulating the spine to treat disease. When the bones of the spine are not aligned correctly, the joint, muscle, nerve, connective tissue, blood flow, and function of an area can be affected. Chiropractics is a system of manipulation and adjustments of the bones of the spine to deal with subluxations and the problems associated with them. The word "adjustment" is normally used in describing the specific and controlled thrust on the specific joint that is being manipulated. It restores the normal range of motion to the affected joint and releases the pressure on the surrounding tissues.
Chiropractic therapy is typically thought of as a method of pain relief for conditions such as degenerative joint disease and disk disease. However, all organs and body systems are controlled by nerves and any disruption of proper nerve flow may also affect function. Correction of vertebral subluxations may improve the health of some internal organs.
Chiropractic adjustment may result in immediate total relief of the pet's symptoms. Partial or temporary relief is also possible, which may necessitate multiple trips to the veterinary chiropractor for ongoing care.
If you have questions about chiropractic therapy or to inquire if it is right for your pet, please call our hospital at 310-473-2951. | 2019-04-21T10:06:59Z | https://vcahospitals.com/woodland-central/services/integrative-medicine/chiropractic-care |

‘Come & See’ is widely regarded as the greatest war film of all time AFAIK. The story of its production (including the flagrant disregard for the health and safety of the crew and various farm animals) is legendary. WRT portrayal of the Germans/Russians… it is (at least partially) propagandistic, produced as it was to mark the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory, but that said, the brutality of the German’s on the Eastern front cannot be exaggerated.
Glad to see a positive review of it, especially after the awful treatment you doled out to Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Having said that, I’m not a huge fan of WWII films either… and while I do watch a lot of non-Anglophone cinema, Come and See’s rep as “the greatest film of all time” seems to have passed me by. Though I will admit, it’s a deserving candidate.

WINTER HAVEN -�The Winter Haven AARP Tax-Aide Program will begin training sessions for old and new volunteers in January. The training dates will be on Jan. 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Last year, the program prepared free-of-charge over 800 tax returns for area Senior citizens. The location of the program will continue to be in the meeting room of the Hope Presbyterian Church at 2110 Cypress Garden Blvd SE. The facility and utilities are donated by the church as part of its Senior citizen outreach program to the community, and are very much appreciated.
All volunteers must pass a standardized test that is part of the course materials provided by the Internal Revenue Service. All of the computers and programs are provided by IRS in cooperation with AARP. The entire program is administered by volunteers with AARP and IRS oversight.
New volunteers are always needed, program officials say. Previous tax preparation knowledge and experience is desired but not necessary. However, the tax course material is covered rapidly, and without previous knowledge could be difficult due to its complexity. Some aspects of tax preparation are limited, not covered by the course, and cannot be done for tax payers with large stock portfolios, stock day traders, small businesses, and those with K-1 reports as part of their corporation holdings. Some volunteers serve as receptionist and assistants which does not require testing.
People who wish to volunteer for the Winter Haven's AARP Tax-Aide program may contact Shirley Rafool at 863-294-4542 or for other locations, contact AARP 1-888-687-2277. | 2019-04-23T00:37:52Z | https://www.newschief.com/news/20071225/mccheadlocal-news-briefsmcchead/1 |

Copernicus International Consulting in association with Enterprise Estonia and Gateway Baltic have organized meetings with potential UK trade partners in a 3 day visit to the UK.
The companies involved (see list below) are all specialists in their field, and bring with them new ideas and the potential for outsourced cost savings to UK businesses.
Leading Spanish cosmetic and pharmaceutical company expands their market presence in the UK via an increase in their distribution network facilitated by a a Copernicus market entry project. Brands such as E'loifexir and Atashi celluar cosmetics are now increasingly available to the UK public thanks to this initiative.
The Pechkek Misfortune Cookie which was introduced to the UK for the first time at the Speciality & Fine Food Fair.
Well, the taste – it’s crisp, not at all dry, high quality organic ingredients.
The concept –It’s unique. A Pech is a German imp or mischievous gremlin. The humour in the cookie and the brand imagery reflect that – dry, sardonic wit that met with a fantastic response in the UK field research.
It’s a collection – there are a number of Pechkeks – in a box of 13 at least 4 variations as you can see from the illustration, so at a dinner party they provide a talking point in respect of the individual Pech, and of course there are a whole host of sayings inside, again no two ever the same in a single box.
One of the oldest and most respected graphic design companies has joined with a leading International Marketing Consultancy to launch the Multi- Award winning Body of Work™ Photographic Collection into the Global Markets.
Company offers authentic Scandinavian designed houses, barns and accessories for self build projects.
Copernicus evaluated the Canadian market entry opportunity for the company. The building and remodelling boom in Canada revealed a market niche for the company and its unique product offerings.
Introduce the company's product to Canada in a stylish manner which communicates authenticity and originality of use for residential and commercial applications.
Create a web site featuring impactful graphic displays and detailed product information that reflected the company’s Scandinavian origins.
Develop a marketing, advertising, and communications effort to generate interest among the target audiences (contractors, architects, interior designers, real estate developers and consumers) and direct them to the web site.
Implementation: Copernicus executed a targeted trade and consumer advertising campaign supported by public relations to create awareness and direct the audience(s) to the web site and generate inquiries.
Results: The marketing campaign generated thousands of hits on the web site and generated a quality data base of 100+ Canadian contractors, architects, interior designers, real estate developers and consumers.
In addition to Canadian editorial coverage, our public relations efforts resulted various European publications covering the Company's Canadian market entry which was valued at over $25,000 in media coverage.
Founded in the 19th century, our client is one of the most famous marques for filled products and household textiles in England, Europe, and around the world.
Copernicus conducted a market evaluation to explore the viability of the client exporting down-filled products to the US. We discovered the US comforter market is dominated by the less expensive synthetic products but category growth was found in the down segment. The analysis revealed that current pricing, competitive product dynamics and an innovative distribution strategy presented a genuine opportunity for our client to strongly consider a US market entry program.
Introduce client down-filled products to the US market.
Exploit existing consumer perception that European goods are well-crafted, high quality products. Using American consumer preference for high quality household furnishings, communicate benefits and imagery of owning a genuine English comforter.
Client to build on initial market entry and consider product development for wider US entry based on customer feedback from initial 12 months.
The client has a unique process that adds real wine to chocolate to produce non-liqueur chocolates with authentic wine flavours such as shiraz, merlot and pinot noir.
UAE is a challenging retail environment with leading brands from around the world fighting to be part of the success story. The client, in wishing to enter the UAE market, engaged Copernicus to carry out a pre-market assessment study on which to base their market entry strategy. Copernicus conducted a market analysis, an opportunity assessment, and evaluated the competitor’s product offering, pricing, and routes to market.
Introduce the client into the market within a 6 month timeframe. In doing so establish a potential sales pipeline that would demonstrate a short term return on investment in line with agreed targets.
In the short term to identify and work with established retailers to allocate store space to our client. Subsequently to introduce the client to suitable hotel and hospitality partners to obtain in-house concessions and to make our client’s product the accompaniment of choice, white labelled per customer, for events and occasions such as conferences.
Copernicus introduced the company to retail buyers, distributors and hotel management through our established network of contacts. The unique aspect of the client’s chocolates was emphasised as this was seen as a key element in a market where differentiation is becoming increasingly difficult as investment budgets for competing parties seem virtually limitless.
Sales in year one exceeded 15% of targets. The client realized its objective of entering the UAE market and is now continuing to work with Copernicus with the aim of developing a specific range for the UAE in line with customer feedback with the intention of growing sales by over 200% in the next 24 months.
Z wear is an innovative baby care product created and launched by company founder Natasha Rocha in upstate New York in 2004. Natasha has a background in creative design and developed her range after the birth of her first child when she was unsatisfied with the various baby slings and associated products on the market. Once established she started to look further afield and was referred to Copernicus by a former colleague. “there was nothing quite like my range available in Europe that I could find, but how to sell there? On a strong recommendation we undertook a preliminary market research project covering the EU in general. This then narrowed down to Germany where Copernicus introduced us to our first international distributor. We now ship to Germany every month and will be looking to replicate the success there as we work with Copernicus to identify additional markets in the very near future”.
Client company has been established over 100 years, is well known in their domestic market and also has some export success to Europe. Using grapes from their own vineyards they produce a range of Bomvu and Ifula African wines. In previous years they have attempted, but have never been able to establish, a foothold in the US market.
Introduce the African range as a brand associated with the wildlife and traditions of the continent of origin. In doing so establish a distribution route that would demonstrate a first year return of investment in line with agreed targets.
Position the client with ethnic brands and in locations complimentary to the offer as a quality, affordable wine alternative to better known Australian, New Zealand or European wines. Communicate through trade advertising and promotion to the target consumer market that this was a wine to be enjoyed anytime any pace by discerning wine drinkers who desired value for money and were open minded to new experiences.
Client company has been very successful in their domestic market with a new rang of Aloe Vera based drinks.
Introduce the range to establish a distribution route that would demonstrate a first year return of investment in line with agreed targets.
Position the client with health awareness brands and in locations complimentary to the offer as a quality, affordable alternative to better known “health” drinks. In particular lead with the “hangover tea” product which we are reliably informed is a liver remedy which also cures hangovers before they start if consumed ahead of the alcohol over indulgence. Communicate through trade advertising and promotion to the target consumer market that this is a drink for the health conscious and introduce further products from the range (Aloe King Coffee, Juices and Teas) as uptake increases.
The client realized its objective of entering the Canadian market and is now continuing to work with Copernicus with the aim of generating incremental sales revenue.
Macademia nuts and associated products.
Macademia nut exports to Russia are virtually zero, yet in 2006 over 40,000 tons were produced in Australia and exports to new markets are growing. As consumerism in Russia continues to develop surely there must be a place for this “high end” nut and derivative products at the tables of the more affluent Russians.
Identify any barriers to entry, and which products or derivatives would be ideal launch products and through which channels or partners.
Potential distributors and retailers were invited to taste firsthand the nuts baked, grilled, ground, salted, baked into bread or served as an aperitif alongside traditional vodka or French Champagne.
Negotiations over subsequent months have resulted in the appointment of regional distributors in Moscow and St. Petersburg. 2008 year sales will exceed pre-agreed target by over 20%.
The client manufacturers a high quality array of capacitors, sensors. Protection devices and inductors.
Northern Italy is widely recognised as a major European manufacturing hub. Suppliers worldwide compete at all levels of the value chain to be involved in the output of a huge variety of high quality equipment.
Introduce the client into the market as a first or second tier supplier. Build a business case for market entry that will demonstrate a clear return on investment in line with agreed targets.
From the market intelligence gained it was clear that additional R&D work would have to be undertaken to meet local standards and requirements. Gaining input from potential customers assisted this process, and in turn led to buy-in of the redeveloped products.
Sales in year one failed to achieve expectations, but in year 2 sales of 380, 000 Tunisian Dinar (€197,000) were achieved. The client realized its objective of entering the South European market via Italy .
Germiston is a South African based furniture manufacturer who wished to enter the UK market in 2006. Their unique designs, use of indigenous materials and short lead times had led them to believe that finding a UK distribution network would be simple. In reality it was anything but. After 2 years, thousands of air miles, the cost of not one but two exhibitions, the company turned to Copernicus. Within 3 months owner Petyr Beyer was back in the UK to discuss UK and Ireland distribution with two multiple retailers, and has since gone on to partner further with one of the retailers as they have entered the Dutch market, once again with the assistance of Copernicus. Petyr commented “We could have saved ourselves time and money if we had used the connecting market service that Copernicus offer in the first place. The interim key account manager support we first offered to our new distributors helped to consolidate our initial sales, and we have since gone on to employ someone full time in the UK as the business levels justify the investment. For anyone contemplating entering a new market there are free services, like the government support, and there are business services with a real understanding of what is required. In Copernicus we found an organisation that knows what the demands of international business are, and how to deliver results”.
Company is a second generation family business based South London with 12 staff that offers authentic Mexican marinades in hot, hickory smoke and original flavours for use in domestic cooking. In the UK they sell on-line, through regional distributors and have a limited rage available in one national supermarket chain as of 2008.
France is of course world famous for its gastronomic and culinary expertise, and has a reputation for shunning ready meals and cooking short cuts. Copernicus evaluated the French market entry opportunity for the company to ascertain if this was the appropriate first export market and to quantify the opportunities and investment required to achieve market penetration.
Introduce the company's product to France in cost effective manner which can then be replicated in subsequent markets.
Make direct contact with the buyers and where necessary outlet managers to introduce the products and to create meetings at which the client can best present their marinades and the potential additional sales opportunities to the buyers.
The client is a niche designer and manufacturer of Irish Linen clothing. They have an established distribution across the UK, with some additional sales to other English speaking markets such as USA, South Africa and Australia.
Introduce the client into the market in a low volume, zero credit, high end position . In doing so define where the Russian perception of Irish products would position the company, identify what, if any, modifications needed to be made for the Russian market and establish a sales pipeline that would demonstrate an 18 month return on investment in line with agreed targets.
Access the independent retail trade associations and through them generate awareness and from there offer potential sole regional rights to the product portfolio to increase the exclusivity aspect of the range.
Within three months the client had their first customer in Moscow. By the end of 2008 the “Russian” range is handled through 14 individual retail outlets, sales are expected to exceed €100,000 and EU funding has been obtained to exhibit at Moscow fashion week.
Specialist manufacturers of solar products from lighting, solar home systems, fridges, freezers, mosquito killing machine to cookers. Affordable solar powered products.
Identify any barriers to entry. Introduce the company's product to potential distributors in a cost effective manner.
Having identified the competitors, benchmarked their offer and routes to market it was agreed that potential volume users would be contacted, their level of interest gauged and the product introduced in Southern Italy to wholesalers and distributors who had the most extensive sales networks.
Potential distributors and re-sellers were contacted to gauge their level of interest in the entire product range, and from this research to define what was to become the South European market entry offer.
A network of 12 showrooms has been established within the first 2 months since market entry. Showroom display stock is heavily subsidised y the client, and sales satisfied from via regional fulfilment partner.
The client has been established for 5 years and employs just 15 skilled personnel in a very modern production facility on the outskirts of Helsinki. The client specialise in high quality coloured glass processing for architectural and furniture products. The company has some export success in Scandinavia, but following a trade mission to Canada believed that there could be a niche market for their high end ducts.
Introduce the client into the market in a low risk, limited capital exposure strategy. In doing so establish a sales pipeline that would demonstrate a first year return of investment in line with agreed targets.
Copernicus worked with the company to create a market awareness of the clients capabilities by identifying Canadian companies who were involved in small scale projects “with a difference”. The client’s ability to produce intricate, individual designs, made to measure with a 99.9% first time delivery accuracy and a rapid delivery system despite the distances involved has endeared them to their customers.
Results: Sales in year one exceeded 18% of targets, and year two over 66% demonstrating an more than acceptable return on their investment with Copernicus and the export to Canada connecting markets service. The client realized its objective of entering the Canadian market and is now continuing to work with Copernicus with the aim of generating further sales revenue and new opportunities in additional markets. | 2019-04-23T04:43:52Z | https://www.copernicus-consulting.com/international-case-studies.html |

Don Keough thinks Ireland should have a Diaspora Minister, saying it would transform Diaspora/Irish relations.
He also wants to see Notre Dame back in Dublin playing football in the next couple of years. Tourism leaders will surely salivate after 30,000 US fans showed up the last time they played.
He has just helped raise $3 million for a world class 1916 Rising documentary prepared at Notre Dame and already bought by RTE Public Television in the US and the BBC.
He also believes that Ireland faced the worst crisis any western government had after the economic collapse and that American business leaders are keenly aware of how well they have handled it.
He is the man who brought Notre Dame and Coca-Cola to Ireland. He also brought Bill Gates and Warren Buffett his lifelong friend too, hosting them at the K Club on their first ever visit. He serves on Berkshire Hathaway’s board with Buffett and is still an advisor to the board of Coca-Cola, the company he served for 40 years.
As president of Coca-Cola he blazed the multinational trail to Ireland in the 1970s. As Chairman of the Board at Notre Dame he created the Keough-Naughton Irish Institute in 1994 and their Dublin campus and laid the groundwork for the university to play in Dublin in September 2012.
At 86 he is far from a back number. He is Chairman of the Board of Allen and Company, the New York investment bank, and co-hosts their annual Sun Valley retreat attended by world business leaders such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch.
He divides his time still between New York and Atlanta, his home, and keeps a schedule a younger man would surely tire of. Every year he visits his beloved Ireland with his family and recently paid a visit to New Ross in Wexford and the famine-era replica ship like the one his great-grandfather Michael embarked on back in the 1840s.
He has come a long way from Michael’s lonely journey. Warren Buffet once stated that two men he met in business, Jack Welch and Don Keough, could have become president of the United States if they had chosen a political rather than a business career.
Keough demurs, but there is little doubt that he has been Ireland’s greatest advocate in America for decades now. His sense of the potential of the Diaspora was uppermost in his mind during our New York interview.
How would you approach the Diaspora if you were the Irish government?
If a person wants to be part of that Diaspora the Irish government needs to acknowledge that. A good start would be a Minister for the Diaspora, who would be charged with creating that welcome and outreach.
I know when you become an Irish citizen in Ireland there is an event around it. If you announce you are of the Diaspora and coming to Ireland that is important too.
Israel has a minister of the Diaspora, I read in the New York Times, where and I quote, “Over the next five years the Israeli government will spend $1.4 billion on a range of initiatives to strengthen Jewish identity abroad and Jewish connections to Israel and vice versa.” That is the kind of thinking we need.
There should be someone as Minister who is a constant part of the Diaspora, who is reporting back to cabinet.
It is an asset that needs to be used. Just to announce that minister would be huge all over the world.
I was delighted to see Irish President Higgins mention and dedicate his trip to the Irish Diaspora in Britain in his remarks during the state visit.
We are everywhere across this world, this Irish army waiting to help this small country their people left from.
Think of it – 70 million people worldwide, millions of whom are seeking a relationship with their ancestral home. What an opportunity!
If the Notre Dame game can bring 35,000 people to Ireland what could a massive outreach do? The Notre Dame game demonstrated what was possible. It was the ultimate power of the Diaspora that they didn’t just come to the game – they captured the country.
I was at church last week in Atlanta. A couple who came to the game came up and told me they were returning again, they fell utterly in love with Ireland. They are just one small example of what I’m saying.
What is the upside potential for the Diaspora do you think?
I think within a matter of five years you would double the number of people who would visit Ireland. That would be my goal.
It needs preparation; Diaspora packages need to be put together. A self-proclaimed member of the Diaspora should feel like Notre Dame fans do, part of something bigger, greater than the sum of its parts. There should be special discounts, meetings, and outreach.
Look what we did with Notre Dame – 35,000 came and there was a massive range of activities.
The visit to Ireland is always enjoyable, despite the weather sometimes. Ireland and what it continues to represent is the best argument for itself.
What brought you there first to your Irish roots?
Well, I wanted to bring my children to Ireland. My father had gone late in his life and he was deeply moved by it. I’ll never forget how proud he was to go.
It was the memory of my father. It was the happiest trip of his life, and he said he was so upset he didn’t go when he was younger so that was always on my mind. So the first time I went was when I could afford it. My father touched Ireland for me.
I brought my children and we drove everywhere. This was the early 1970s. I was so excited. I wanted to get involved. I remember years later reading your magazine Irish America and saying, finally, someone gets it.
You first created the links between the University of Notre Dame and Ireland. There was very little connection until you came along. What made you want to do it?
Well, Notre Dame had an extraordinary Irish background. Almost all the presidents had Irish connections. It was just waiting to be connected into Ireland.
What made me do the Keough-Naughton Irish Institute was Professor Chris Fox, who I had met, and he told me we had an amazing Irish collection of books and major historical links and he had a deep interest in Ireland. I said, “Why don’t you do something?” Then the issue was how do we get it started.
So I talked to Seamus and said, “You have some amazing ideas about what an Irish studies program should be like we’ll give you the blank canvas and the paints and you paint the Irish studies program you want at the home of the Irish in America.” By golly, that was what exactly he did.
One of the most exciting things in my life has been to see it develop the way it has. It was perfect timing and Chris was a great leader, and the university supported it totally.
Some 10,000 students have studied there in the past 20 years and thousands go to Ireland. Then Martin Naughton came on board as my partner. He has been amazing.
Martin and his family played a massive role in the success of Notre Dame game. It became a happening because of Martin and it was great that the Taoiseach was fully involved, and we even got the weather!
I always remember telling Martin about the idea of the game and really getting the Irish involved. He asked, “What took you so long?” It was a huge boost to the institute and we have enlarged our efforts and numbers in Ireland since.
You have a great new Irish project as well.
Yes, the 1916 landmark documentary series. BBC, RTE and PBS will show a three-part landmark documentary about the 1916 Rising and we have raised the money, almost $3 million for it. We are very excited about that. The series will run to coincide with the centenary of the Easter Rising.
What has Ireland meant to you overall?
Ireland has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. To have such an involvement there is a privilege. My family loves it and we have all spent amazing times there. I wanted to buy a house there, but my wife Mickie said I’d never leave it.
How is Ireland doing now in your opinion?
So the Kenny government had no easy way to solve the problems, and so they had the toughest job of any country in the world.
They have done well. You hear a lot of respect for Ireland now over here. They faced the toughest problems and were the first to demonstrate that they were working their way out of it.
I look on what happened with a lot of pride on how they have done it. It has been very tough on the Irish people I know, but you have to give them credit. I’m very optimistic about what is going to happen. A lot of smart Americans are getting involved there now, guys like John Malone.
Will you bring Notre Dame football back to Ireland?
It is not up to me but my own view is they will be back. The call to Ireland for Notre Dame is very strong. Maybe within the next couple of years.
Are you still bullish on US?
When I talk about the US I say never bet against it, these are the most resilient people in the world.
We have an amazing gene pool a collection of people from all over the world who came not to exploit but to find a new way to grow and develop, many of them were running away from poverty and oppression.
They could see hope here those that came. It took enormous courage for people to get up and leave in the first place.
I’m an absolute optimist; my own journey proves it from a small farm in Iowa to the presidency of Coca-Cola.
Who do you consider inspirational figures?
Father Ted Hesburgh at Notre Dame. He is an absolute inspiration; still a simple priest. His most important moment in his life is when he says Mass.
I took him to Latin America once. We called on several heads of state. The minute I brought him in there they paid no attention to me. He spoke to them in Portuguese, Spanish and charmed them all.
He was an incredible visionary who served six presidents on issues such as civil rights and immigration and built one of the great universities. There were those who said a Catholic university could never reach the heights of academic excellence, but Father Hesburgh knew differently.
Warren Buffet still tap dances to work every day. He has arranged to give all his wealth away, but he’d be rich in every important way with or without it.
He lives a very simple life. We have been friends for decades. I lived across the street from him in Omaha many years ago and he still lives there, in a modest house, like the man.
Outside of my own father, of the people I have worked with Warren Buffett stands out. He is a learning machine, a great philanthropist. He has kept an amazing sense of humility.
What is the best life lesson you have learned?
The life lesson I have learned is that wealth has nothing to do with money. It has to do with family, with friendships, with knowing and learning from interesting people, people who make a difference. If I didn’t have ten dollars I’d consider myself one of the wealthiest people in the world with the friends and family I have had.
I say to my grandkids, you need to be an interesting person, and not just learn how to move your thumbs around an iPhone or iPad. No one wants to be around uninteresting people I tell them. Young people today don’t want to be vulnerable. They want to be cool, the worst possible thing to be.
I tell them you need to go through life saying this is who I am comfortable in my skin, for better or worse. Take me for what I am. | 2019-04-22T17:58:15Z | https://www.irishcentral.com/business/irish-american-leader-don-keough-calls-for-irish-diaspora-minister |
Happy fall, friends! I feel like I’ve been waiting not-so-patiently for this day to get here for many months. I mean, summer in Phoenix is not for the faint of heart and we’re finally reaching the light at the end of the roasting hot tunnel. As a way to celebrate, I thought I’d share this sweet Happy Harvest fall print!
Now, most people refer to this season as fall or autumn, but I’ve known it as “harvest time” for nearly twenty years now. When I first started dating my husband nearly twenty years ago, it was at the beginning of the fall and I distinctly remember my now mother-in-law being so excited for harvest time. It’s her absolute favorite time of the year and that has stuck with me ever since. Every year we haul out our harvest decorations and this cute little print will be added to the decor this year.
The print is sized to fit an 8×10 frame. I recommend printing it on either heavy card stock or sending it to your local photo printer. I sent mine to my local Costco and it printed beautifully. | 2019-04-22T05:04:35Z | https://sweetrosestudio.com/2017/09/happy-harvest-fall-print.html |

This is the first Randy Singer novel I’ve read and I’m certain it won’t be the last. The combination of the legal, military, political and intrigue is compelling. Yes, some of the legal mumbo-jumbo and Supreme Court protocols were at times a bit tiresome but it wasn’t long before Singer brought us back to the human element. Special forces soldiers who were fighting for their country were killed in a bungled raid in Yemen. And now their loved ones had no father, no husband, no son, no brother and no explanation as to what really happened to their men.
Paige Chambers and Wyatt Jackson are two excellent creations. So different in style, mannerism and attitude but a terrific combination of youthful innocence and seasoned cynicism. And Amanda Hamilton, the President, was a leader with heart and courage to do what is best for the people of the nation not just make the right political move.
I suspect the story line borders on the truth – are the CIA effectively a rogue unit when operating outside the US without appropriate Congressional authority to act? When acts of war occur without appropriate authority are the executive branch protected by the “state secrets” provisions allowing such acts to not be properly brought to account and the perpetrators brought to trial?
Like many novels the novel is set up well and the first 200 pages are compelling. The story sagged a little in the middle as our lawyers went through their processes to testify in multiple court situations. But the last 50 pages or so are brilliant. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough and I was kinda sad when it all came to an end.
I do hope Randy Singer has found himself a new hero that he can use in a series of JAG-style novels: Paige Chambers. I know I’ll certainly be reading that series.
If you enjoy watching TV shows like JAG and Madam Secretary you going to enjoy Rule of Law (without the soap opera that sometimes comes with TV shows).
I received a Net Galley copy of Rule of Law as part of the Litfuse Blog Tour with no expectations of a favourable review.
Spirit Bridge is the third and final episode in the Well Spring series. And wow, it sure finishes in a mighty way, so much so I’m very sad that it has now ended.
I’d suggest all readers read the first two in the series: Soul’s Gate and Memory’s Door, not just because they are fabulous novels but they provide a valuable introduction to this final episode.
This one starts where the last one ended, the Warriors Riding hoping to take some time out to rest and convalesce after the battle with Zennon and his demonic warlords. However, the Spirit has other ideas and it isn’t long before the battle is renewed and with tragic circumstances.
Two additional characters play pivotal roles. Simon, who we’ve met previously, and are never quite sure whose side he’s on. Rubart manages this ambiguity brilliantly. The second, Miyo, is in fact a new character and she plays an important leadership role in discerning the insidious plot of Zennon.
Brandon and Dana’s characters are well developed in this episode and I especially grew to like both of them. The romantic tension between them continues as an undercurrent but doesn’t distract the reader in developing empathy for them both.
What I particularly appreciated about this episode is how Rubart presents spiritual warfare in the context of the daily battle we all have in surrendering our desires and hopes to God. He explores it through Reece, Brandon and Dana demonstrating how each of them unknowingly allows the enemy to infiltrate through some form of self-glorification.
This culminates in a fantastic final battle scene that is magnificently described allowing the reader to visualize it effortlessly.
This is a wonderful series that so powerfully demonstrates spiritual warfare in a fictional context that is uplifting, challenging and thrilling in its suspensefulness.
I can’t recommend it enough and so look forward to reading Rubart’s next creation.
Seventeen year old Nyah Parks is a genius hacker whose world is unraveling. Desperate and with no other choice, Nyah turns her programming skills to cracking the firewalls of the world’s largest corporations. She exposes their weaknesses, and then offers her services to secure their systems from hackers.
But when the most dangerous job of her life backfires and forces her to go on the run, she encounters an impossible reality that shouldn’t exist, but does.
A hack unlike any other. A hack that will take her beyond the firewall of the human brain itself. A hack, which may be the only way to save her mother now.
What if there was a way to tap into the unseen reality that surrounds us all? Would you hack in? How far would you go to find the answers to your deepest questions? The answer lies deep beyond the firewall.
As part of the FirstLook Blog Tour Worthy Publishing provided a Q&A with Ted Dekker which adds good background to the above teaser.
I was given the opportunity to participate in Worthy Publishing’s First Look blog tour for Ted Dekker’s latest novel: “Hacker”.
“THE OUTLAW CHRONICLES consist of EYES WIDE OPEN, WATER WALKER and HACKER. Although related through one common character, Stephen, they can be read in any order.
Written in the vein of Ted’s thrillers like Thr3e and Blink, these are transformational stories that take the reader on an intense ride full of twists that unravel the deep mystery or reality in ways rarely seen.
This first instalment in “The Quiet Professionals” series has everything we’ve come to love about Kendig’s writing: thrills a plenty, heart-pounding pace, solid character development, great military heroes, some crazy mad bad guys and a love story in a war zone.
But in this novel, it’s wonderful to see how Kendig has excelled in upping the ante so everything I’ve mentioned is even better.
What I’ve always loved about Kendig’s writing is her tremendous craftsmanship in drawing the reader into her war zone. In Raptor 6 it is no exception. She takes us right into the thick of it. We can feel the tension, hear the guns being fired, smell the sweaty testosterone within the cramped confines of the military vehicle and taste the grittiness of the dust.
And then there’s the love story. A young military leader passionately responsible for leading his small troop go where very few dare but emotionally wounded by events of the past. Torn by serving his nation and opening his heart to what has only led to heartbreak in his past.
The soldier soon meets a striking American but with Afghani blood and an absolute ripper of a name: Zahrah Zarrick. The daughter of a military hero who has returned to her mother’s homeland to bring hope to the children who know no other life than living in a war zone.
Zahrah falls hard for her soldier hero, he reminds her of her father, the decorated General. But it’s her faith and willingness to die serving God that attracts me the most to Zahrah. Kendig handles this well in demonstrating the challenge it can be when faced with terrible consequences for one’s faith.
I’ll stop there before I start giving too much of the engrossing story away.
This is a great start to the series and I can’t wait for next one.
This is different to Tom Pawlik’s first two novels that I enjoyed immensely. Pawlik describes it himself as a ‘coming-of-age’ sort of novel which it is, but one filled with gripping suspense that kept me turning (well flicking, is that what it’s called on a Kindle?) the pages.
Pawlik is masterful in how he describes his settings. In particular, the way he describes Jake and Buck’s boat trip through a creepy swamp had me feeling like I was a third passenger on it. The suspense he creates when danger is at hand is riveting. His scenes with a certain large crocodilian creature reminded me a lot of Peter Benchley’s Jaws.
But it was his character, Abe Garner, an elderly man, misunderstood and rejected by his small community, that grabbed my heart. It is his story that lingers in my mind on finishing the novel. His story is such a beautiful one of grace in action, of forgiveness and not allowing one’s mistreatment to malign one’s life with bitterness, mistrust and hatred.
Read this so you can meet Abe Garner. Oh, and one very large water-dwelling reptile.
Two teenage friends, Austin and Christy, both with “forgotten” childhoods get accidentally lost in a mental hospital. You’d think once they could explain their situation, all would be fine and they’d leave and go on their way.
But this is a Ted Dekker novel.
The hospital authorities re-admit them both as Scott and Alice. So who are they? Are they Austin and Christy or Scott and Alice? Dekker weaves his clever story telling skills in a thrill-of-a-minute ride where even we the reader are unsure of the truth.
The truth? What is it? How can we be certain we know the truth? Why do our perceptions of our reality play such an important part in our understanding of our individual lives? Who can provide the truth, about who we are? about our childhood?
These are great questions which Dekker asks as we the confused reader try to understand what’s going on in the two protagonists lives. Are the doctors and even delightful psychiatrist Nancy really the bad guys?
I love the Gabriel Allon series.
And this one sure doesn’t disappoint. As other reviewers have stated, Daniel Silva has used the same formula with the other books in the series. This is now my third so I’m not tired of it.
I thoroughly enjoy Gabriel’s character, however, wish we’d see some development in Chiara, his wife. She’s obviously very smart but we seem to see her mostly presented as the gorgeous, young wife who is also an extraordinary cook.
Nadia who plays a critical role in this book is a strong character. Rich due to inheritance and desiring to make a difference in the Saudi world as a woman who cares, she is both captivating and very believable. | 2019-04-22T01:12:38Z | http://ianacheson.com/category/my-library/thriller/ |
Later today, the Super Bowl will have its first male cheerleader. Australia has been more progressive with male NRL cheerleaders for awhile now – when Patrick isn’t playing games, he’s probably not rooting for the Parramatta Eels, but it’s the best picture that I could find.
We’re coming to the end of the reviews generated by our Essen Review weekend now. A bit more winnowing, a bit more culling, but some keypers (ahem) as well. There are more coming still, being in the hands of friends, but they just haven’t got to the table yet. And there are so many more out there we’ll never get to. We don’t want really want or need to get to all of them mind you, but it’s fun trying.
I was pleasantly surprised by this thinky filler. It’s in the Hey, That’s My Fish vein of taking the tile that you move off, but moves it away from territory denial and into set collection instead. Each tile has two elements – animals (majorities in each will score) and symbols (for bonus movement points, or a majorities race, or one that scores point on a geometric scale). If you want to play it seriously, you need to pay real attention to what everyone’s picking up and where they intend to go next. But the game is enjoyable in friendly mode as well, because it replaces that cut-throat denial nature with a friendly gather-stuff-and-let’s-see-how-it-plays-out feel. Some tiles adjust the values of what each animal scores, so that’s another consideration to play with if you like that kind of thing. If you don’t, go for the symbol scores instead. Options are open to suit different play preferences, and that flexibility is a positive in a game that can play relatively quickly if you want it to.
Your initial plays are hampered by too much explaining – all the different scoring systems (this goes with that at Sussan), to begin with and throughout, and then for each character as it’s revealed in each of the 22 rounds (they’re all unique). The second issue is that the game is laden with the dreaded simultaneous blind bid mechanic, meaning you can never be sure what you’re going to get – each player must simply make the best of whatever’s left. Sure, there are rounds where you don’t care and can bid low, and rounds you do care and bid high, but in the main, your scoring feels just too much out of your hands. Unless of course you’re totalling up the mass of scoring at the end, in which case the scoring is in your hands for entirely too long while the other players watch a Western to pass the time. The scoring variety is also the main strength however, and it may well lead to ongoing interest once your group has the hang of it so I’m not writing it off entirely!
This felt like fresh Euro. The main point of interest was that the dice selection felt non-mean. The chosen dice have two functions – the pips indicate your bid for card selection (and card synergies are the bread and butter) and the colour indicates which of the four income tracks you’ll score. If you get to take three dice of the same colour, you’ll score that same form of income three times! And that, my friends, felt fresh. It meant you always felt like you had a good option and an interesting decision. The other plus is that the game only went four rounds, so all your choices mattered. I’m not sure there’s a wealth of different strategies to explore, for the game is mostly about bidding smartly for cards that riff off what you’ve built and then exploiting your income strengths. It somehow manages to find that sweet spot of providing plenty to think about but with little downtime, which is sweet indeed.
A by-the-numbers light Euro. Play tiles to earn resources. Spend resources to buy VP cards from the draft. Repeat for 13 rounds. It has a nice mini-Java-esque approach of playing tiles on top of tiles, building up your house. There are the inevitable bonus cards for buying cards of this type, or your tiles this many levels high, and the like. There’s a fair bit of luck in what tiles you draw (which will drive your future resources) vs what cards come out when (re what resources they require), but it’s not inappropriate for the game’s length. It works, it’s pleasant, it’s non-objectionable, I can see why it’s been produced, but for the older hands at play, there’s not much to explore here either.
All the nice things about Keyflower in waaayy less time. Get cards 7 Wonders style, play a building card, or a one off resource creator card, or play a meeple card to trigger a building (which to start with usually means triggering your home building to move resources off their creator cards over to building cards that will convert the resources into points or other benefits). You’re trying to maximise a select few things, as directed by the end-game bonus cards that you have sight off from the beginning (you get one for free, the others will go into the draft). It’s still make the most of whatever you get and try to collect different things than your neighbours, but the decisions you make need to be focused, so each play feels important. It goes pretty fast, packs some oomph, there are enough cards to ensure you see different things each game, and I liked it a lot.
Ahh, this is the game that Villa Paletti always wanted to be and should have been. The stupid win condition (where you win if the player after you crashes) is replaced by co-op mode where you’re setting up the next player to succeed. There’s a decision to make each turn on how challenging a turn you want and how much risk to take, The actual placement is just as fun, but it’s a satisfying shared achievement when the tower gets as high as it needs to be for the win. As a bonus, you can play Jenga afterwards for the tower deconstruction! Although I rate this and Villa Paletti the same (because I only play this style of game occasionally), this is the better, more interesting, and more fun version.
Clever and interesting, but plastering over a layer of perhaps too much randomness to climb higher up the replay ladder. You build resource converter buildings (from cards in your hand). At the beginning of the round, half the resources available this turn will be flipped from the deck. You decide which of your buildings you’ll attempt to fire up – do you play safe with a low scoring building that almost has all the resources it needs, or will you gamble on a higher scoring building that needs more resources? Then we flip for more resources and see what scores, supplementing from the hand if needed. There are interesting building decisions, trying to build stuff that will parlay stuff you’ve already built into better scoring stuff (read me an engine), but on the other hand it can be pretty random getting that engine firing. The good news is that it comes in at a nice timeframe where the randomness can leave an itch to want to play again at some point.
Team based real-time dexterity game that hits the right spots. One side plays up to 3 pieces on the base, and flips the timer. Then the other teams adds up to 3 pieces on top, flips the timer, and turns continue to alternate, adding pieces to the pile. A team gets points if they get their last piece on, or if the other team crashes the pile, or lets the timer run out. Either way, they discard a piece from the other team’s collection (usually the easiest to place), making future rounds harder and faster. First team to 4 points wins. It’s only a small base, and not many pieces, but they’re wide and varied, so rounds go fast, points are gathered quickly, and it’s all over in a perfect fun-filled timeframe where you can share glory or commiserations with your partner. A nice game, and I’d be tempted to rate higher if there was a touch more variety from game to game.
Some fun for when you have 6 players and a real-time dice rolling team game is called for. Which isn’t often, but it’s nice to have up your sleeve when the time comes (Strand Cup used to be an option here.) This channels the Space Alert vibe, having to co-ordinate the allocation of dice to the right places at the right time to load torpedoes, move to somewhere in range to fire the torpedoes, set up shields, etc. The dice rolling is constant and semi-frantic, but you need to get your head up along the way to make sure you’re building the right things at the right time, especially when you have tractor beams available to put the enemy ship exactly where you want them. It has the potential for going a little long, but eliminating the healing-the-ship option should fix that. With “commands” and “requests” for energy being thrown around frenetically, it captures the feel of a hyper-busy bridge in the throes of battle nicely, and good fun is had along the way.
This is quite the fun card game that I imagine a lot of people don’t know given its lack of ratings and comments on BGG. I’m told it has Dutch / German pub heritage, where the loser of the round buys the next round. There’s a lot of luck with the cards, with only 4 cards in the hand plus benefits to leading in the first, but the ability to bluff people out of the round by knocking and driving up the score being played for (backgammon-style) is what makes the game, as the winner of the hand is whoever wins the last trick. That’s all it comes down to. So, can you drive other people out and win with a nothing card? Does he have the Ace or is he bluffing? Anyway, there are lots of laughs along the way with bluffs called and made, and we’ve had good fun with it over the years.
Jeff Allers: I picked up MENARA in Essen and wonder why someone hasn’t thought of a cooperative dexterity game before (maybe someone already has, but I hadn’t heard of it). In any case, it’s the best thing since chocolate met peanut butter. It’s not only a Villa Paletti-killer (which hasn’t seen any playing time in my circles since it won Spiel des Jahres ages ago), it’s now my preferred (non-flicking) dexterity game of all time. Elegant mechanics, great team-building tension and beautiful to look at. Publisher Zoch has gone back to its dexterity roots (Bausack, Bamboleo, Hamster Rolle, Gulo Gulo, Riff Raff, and the aforementioned Villa Paletti) and this one may be their best ever.
Alan How: I’ve only played Carson City: The Card Game, but it works really well and is a solid little filler. For me it’s a 7. I want to get some multiplayer games in to check this style of game out.
I was a play tester for Key Flow, so maybe I’m slightly biased, but I’d agree with Patrick’s thoughts. The simultaneous play is a major plus for me, as well as only needing to focus on your neighbours for options to place your Keyple cards. My rating would be 8 or 9. I’ve also found it easy to teach to newcomers and it is far easier to appreciate the options in this game over Keyflower. The cards are unusual size so more difficult to find sleeves for those that are concerned about these things.
Oh My Goods works really well and it’s only downside was it was over too quickly for me. I’ve picked up the expansions but not yet tried them out yet to see if the games last a bit longer. Pretty enjoyable engine building fun though. A least a 7.
Larry: Coimbra is very good and the best thing about it is it’s very elegant dice selection mechanism. Another great game from that wonderful crop of Italian designers. I love it.
Key Flow is also excellent. Keyflower is a wonderful design, but there’s too much going on for me to deal with. Key Flow focuses things much better by taking away the auction. I came up with a variant where you keep two of your Winter scoring cards during the Winter Is Coming interphase instead of one and it’s worked so well that it’s the only way we play now. I love it.
Oh My Goods is another clever design from Pfister, but it’s really hard to set up your building combinations in time before the game ends. I understand the second edition of the game introduced some new rules that made long chains of buildings more feasible, but I’ve never had the chance to try it out. I like it.
Brandon: Gingerbread House was one of the surprises of all the Essen time releases. A nice gateway, thematic tile placement game, with fun little micro transactions to drive the victory points.
Menara is easily in my Top 10 games of 2018, a wonderful production from the folks at Zoch and it works wonderfully. I love how the towers can grow separate from each other but the necessity to bring them together for architectural sturdiness is quickly learned.
Fraser: What Larry said about Oh My Goods.
I have enjoyed Gingerbread House, it is reasonably lightweight, but has some things going on in terms of positioning your tiles for future moves. It has been very popular with the people I have taught it to, including non-gamers and casual gamers.
Matt Carlson: I do enjoy the real time dice games so am a fan of both Escape the Curse of the Temple and Space Cadets: Dice Duel. Escape is cooperative, so that is nice, but Dice Duel has the advantage of a stronger interdependence between players. Trying to communicate more involved topics (than just “I need suns”) during Dice Duel makes the game seem even more frantic (which is a good thing.) Dice Duel is best with a full, or nearly full complement, so I prefer Escape with fewer people. The expansion with its “fighter ships” is an excellent way to even out lopsided teams as well as add some variety. Dice Duel captures much of what I like about the original Space Cadets game, but in a shorter, more intense timeframe.
I love these articles! I walk away with a couple of titles to bug my dealer into getting (Key Flow and Menara). I don’t really see how I would have noticed these without OG. That makes for a lot of thanks from me.
Oh My Goods! falls a little short for me. I like the idea of it and think there is possibly a great game in there but the actual plays seem to end up being less interesting and more frustrating as things often don’t go your way (and the workers mechanism is very rigid so hard to make that better). The revised end of game scoring (where all your buildings get a chance to fire even without activation) was a step in the right direction but that it was added later does seem to show it was put out a little under-cooked.
Only have one learning game of Coimbra but I enjoyed it a lot. | 2019-04-22T16:01:22Z | https://opinionatedgamers.com/2019/02/03/patrick-brennan-game-snapshots-2019-part-3%EF%BB%BF/ |

An optical experiment realizes one of the room-changing operations in the Hilbert Hotel—a fictitious establishment that illustrates some perplexing properties of infinity.
The Hilbert Hotel is a famous mathematical paradox about an imaginary inn with infinite rooms. Even when completely full, vacancies can be made through coordinated room switching. You obviously won’t find this place in any guidebook, but the energy levels in a quantum system can mimic the rooms in the Hilbert Hotel. In an experiment using optical modes of a laser beam, researchers perform a “room switching” operation that creates a vacancy by transforming one quantum state into another.
In 1924, the mathematician David Hilbert highlighted the counterintuitive nature of infinity with a tale about a hotel with an infinite number of rooms, each having a single occupant. If a new guest arrives, the hotel manager can create a vacancy in room 1 by moving all occupants up one room ( n→n+1). If infinite guests arrive, the manager can open up all the odd-number rooms by shifting everyone to twice their room number ( n→2n).
In a recent study, John Jeffers from the University of Strathclyde, UK, and his colleagues showed how to perform the n→n+1 shift in a quantum system with an unlimited number of energy levels. The same group has now extended this work to the n→2n shift using a laser beam with discrete orbital angular momentum modes, or “rooms,” which are characterized by petal-like intensity lobes. The team demonstrated a procedure that changes the room n state to the room 3n state (but it also works for other multiplication factors like 2). This operation could be useful in creating frequency gaps between multiple channels before combining (or multiplexing) them into a single communication signal. | 2019-04-21T17:16:17Z | https://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.160505 |
On Christmas Eve in 1988, seven-year-old Alfie Marsden vanished in the dark Wentshire Forest Pass, when his father, Sorrel, stopped the car to investigate a mysterious knocking sound. No trace of the child, nor his remains, have ever been found. Alfie Marsden was declared officially dead in 1995. Elusive online journalist, Scott King, whose ‘Six Stories’ podcasts have become an internet sensation, investigates the disappearance, interviewing six witnesses, including Sorrel and his ex-partner, to try to find out what really happened that fateful night. Journeying through the trees of the Wentshire Forest – a place synonymous with strange sightings, and tales of hidden folk who dwell there, he talks to a company that tried and failed to build a development in the forest, and a psychic who claims to know what happened to the little boy… Intensely dark, deeply chilling and searingly thought-provoking, Changeling is the latest in the critically acclaimed, international bestselling Six Stories series, written as six Serial-style podcasts, and which are being adapted for TV by a major US studio.
So first of all I’m going to apologise as I’m really not sure my review can ever put across how utterly brilliant this book really is. Even weeks later I am still thinking about the events in this story which is a true sign of a book ticking every box. As usual in this series you hear six stories from six different people and in this book all regarding the events of seven year old Alfie’s disappearance. With each one giving you just that little bit more information to digest. I found this way of storytelling to be a brilliant way of engaging me, making me ask questions along with keeping me well and truly invested in the story. It is all skillfully woven together to create the most mesmerising story as slowly but surely the story is revealed. The big question is will there be any new light shone on this case?
I really can’t recommend this book enough it has a very special appeal with a little bit of everything to draw the reader in. If you are like me you will feel plenty of emotions while reading Changeling along with being completely on edge just waiting to discover the truth. I felt like I wanted to fly through the pages but also at the same time wanting to savour the story as it unfolded. Rich in detail Matt Wesolowski really sets the scene with a delicious touch of creepiness that I loved! I thought Hydra was a fantastic story but Changeling really excels, I can’t fault it!
With folklore, tension and twists along with an ending where I just sat there thinking wow! Changeling is an absolutely amazing story!
With thanks to Anne Cater & Orenda Books for the invite to join the tour and for my copy.
I’ve seen this book pop up on twitter and other blogs quite a bit, it does sound really good.
Excellent review of an excellent novel :-)! | 2019-04-24T01:52:41Z | https://raereadsbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/21/changeling-by-matt-wesolowski/ |
How to Find the Right Wooden Doors for Your Home?
A wooden door can add appeal to your home. No matter whether you choose a classic or vintage style, it remains one of the oldest structures in the human history. You can find its significance in history where alder, cherry, timber, oak or mahogany was used for the protection of forts. Now customization on doors is available. You can customize a wood depending on your budget and the functional requirements. Wood doors add more charm to the overall look of your home. It is a practical choice to opt for wooden doors.
You should stay updated about various options to make it a good choice for you.
These doors feature a frame which is covered with a layer of wood or veneer on its both sides. Solid timber strips with its edges are also available in the market. The supports in between the face veneers provide the rigidity. Face veneers can also be availed in varnished or painted plywood. Different in-fills make it durable to the hollow core doors. A cardboard honeycomb is the most widely used type of such doors and easily available with wooden door suppliers. You can position a solid timber area at a specific height on one door side. You can use it to put the lock and handle. Hollow core doors come as an affordable option in comparison to the most solid wood doors. They are lighter and easier to install. The only disadvantage is that they cannot absorb sound effectively.
Flush doors have the thin sheets of hardwood veneer which is placed on the top of the core of particle board, wood or fiberboard. The veneer helps in protecting the door from stabilizing and warping. You can always enhance the face veneers using decorative panels. Two kinds of cores are used in flush doors. It includes stile and rail core and wood-stave block core. A wood-stave core has vertical wood strips of low-density. A stile and rail core includes wood blocks that are glued inside the rails and stiles. It comes with more reliability as compared to wood stave.
Panel doors are more popular nowadays. They feature a series of solid wood panels that are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. These panels are arranged next to each other. Panel doors have grooved frames coupled with thinner panels of pine, oak or beech. The moldings can be installed to ensure the panels remain in its place. The size and number of panels will depend on your requirements including the door and size you need. Four panels are the most common kinds of panel wooden doors these days.
Due to inset glass panels, the lited doors are in demand. There are doors with interior or exterior openings. For instance, the office doors or patio doors serve as the perfect example of the lited doors. Often wooden door manufacturers call doors lited doors because of the number of glass panels they have.

Uranium—lead dating is often performed on the mineral zircon ZrSiO 4 , though it can be used on other materials, such as baddeleyite , as well as monazite see: When an organism dies, it ceases to take in new carbon, and the existing isotope decays with a characteristic half-life years. By allowing the establishment of geological timescales, it provides a significant source of information about the ages of fossils and the deduced rates of evolutionary change.

The Swedish National Heritage Board. After one half-life has elapsed, one half of the atoms of the nuclide in question will have decayed into a "daughter" nuclide or decay product.
This is well-established for most isotopic systems. The use of radiometric dating was first published in by Bertram Boltwood and is now the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other geological features, including the age of the Earth itself, and can be used to date a wide range of natural and man-made materials.
Origin and Etymology of radiometric International Scientific Vocabulary. For example, a study of the Amitsoq gneisses from western Greenland used five different radiometric dating methods to examine twelve samples and got agreement to within 30 million years on an age of 3,my. Meteoritics and Planetary Science. The system is dedicated to this special application and will considerably improve radiometric dating and trace element analysis in pure and applied science in an interdisciplinary perspective. To anchor this sequence to a specific time frame, scientists used radiometric dating to measure the absolute ages of samples returned by the Apollo astronauts four decades ago.
Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a way to find out how old something is. The method compares the amount of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, in samples. Radiometric dating definition, any method of determining the age of earth materials or objects of organic origin based on measurement of either short-lived radioactive elements or the amount of a long-lived radioactive element plus its decay product.
Samples are exposed to neutrons in a nuclear reactor. The awkward case of 'his or her'.
A method for determining the age of an object based on the concentration of a particular radioactive isotope contained within it. Planetary Sciences , page Measurements should be taken on samples from different parts of the rock body.
Thus an igneous or metamorphic rock or melt, which is slowly cooling, does not begin to exhibit measurable radioactive decay until it cools below the closure temperature. This field is known as thermochronology or thermochronometry. After one half-life has elapsed, one half of the atoms of the nuclide in question will have decayed into a "daughter" nuclide or decay product. At a certain temperature, the crystal structure has formed sufficiently to prevent diffusion of isotopes. The trapped charge accumulates over time at a rate determined by the amount of background radiation at the location where the sample was buried. If a material that selectively rejects the daughter nuclide is heated, any daughter nuclides that have been accumulated over time will be lost through diffusion , setting the isotopic "clock" to zero. Accurate radiometric dating generally requires that the parent has a long enough half-life that it will be present in significant amounts at the time of measurement except as described below under "Dating with short-lived extinct radionuclides" , the half-life of the parent is accurately known, and enough of the daughter product is produced to be accurately measured and distinguished from the initial amount of the daughter present in the material. | 2019-04-22T20:46:18Z | http://brahma-yoga.ru/bikini/what-is-the-definition-of-radiometric-dating.php |
‘Spat’ (2010), focuses on an argument, taking place on a train platform between an elderly couple. The couple seems completely absorbed in their exchange, their gestures and facial expressions full of the passion of their respective points of view. As the camera approaches, gradually and hesitantly, it becomes increasingly quiet - and eventually apparent that the spat is carried out in sign language. Only by focusing on each other can the argument be articulated. ‘Spat’ forms part of a trilogy of 16mm films – along with ‘Kiss’ and ‘Fight’ - each of which focuses on one gestures that occurs between two people in a public environment. Each of the films is based on a real life observation and is reconstructed within real life, consciously playing on the ambiguity between a documentary mode and a staged scenario. | 2019-04-22T14:32:17Z | http://www.melaniemanchot.net/category/spat-2010/ |

Time for a cage. Picked this thing up from a guy who never installed it for $100. Normally LROR sells it for $400. Started installing it this last weekend. I need to fab up a new rollbar to fit into my new pickup configuration.
I really like what you've done with this thing!
Thanks! It's came a long way since I bought it when I was 16 and had absolutely no idea what I was doing to it!
Decided to go back to SPUA after all, and drop my tire size down. I don't do enough wheeling to keep it SPOA. With the 1:1 high range, 3.73 diffs, and 33's, the gearing is way too high. By dropping the tire size down, I think I'll be able to daily it a little better, and plus, I can still do some of the easier trails here and there still.
Put 4.57’s in the diffs and drive it.
From what I’ve seen dropping to SPUA isn’t compatible with the VW motor.
Normally the message is there’s no problem running SPUA with whatever tire size you’re willing to street drive/run on Suzuki axles, the engine is going to fight you trying to drop the car down.
There’s certainly no connection between capability and SPOA. Many would say it’s an inverse relationship.
I ran my rig SPUA with 3" lift springs for 3 years, and never had a problem with the oil pan to axle issue. I've played around with the gearing calculator a ton, and realistically, to get my high range much more reasonable, I would want 5.13's. My other option is to just swap back to a samurai transfercase, and I've been seriously considering it quite a bit.
Maybe I will keep it SPOA on 33's and just throw 5.13's in it. I just found some gears for cheap.
You could drop it to SPUA then, put the 5.12’s in it, leave the 33’s on, and have the best of both worlds.

Suppose that's not a terrible idea. Picked up one set of gears last night, now gotta get the other set, and pick up the stuff to swap the gears over to my steel thirds.
Pulled the rear third out last night, and started disassembly this morning at work. Got the ring gear swapped over, had to use the samurai bolts, because for some reason, the tracker ones were too long, and I couldn't get some of them to thread all the way down, they were bottoming out. I measured up the old crush sleeve, and set up some shims with my solid pinion spacer to within two thousands of an inch difference. I will have to install everything and test it to see if I need to make any adjustments.
Finished up my setup for now, and set backlash and checked my pattern. Picture is crappy, but the pattern seems to be pretty good, especially since this is the first time I've ever tried setting up a differential.
Regeared the front axle, just gotta put the third back in now and reassemble. Drivers side was leaking gear oil, even though I just rebuilt the axle less than 300 miles ago. I put in aftermarket shafts, and when I did the inner seal, the stupid thing didn't fit very snug at all, of course, it popped completely out without any pressure, so I "glued" it in place with some ultra gray RTV.
I decided I wanted to do away with my heim setup. Although it worked great, it technically wasn't "legal" to drive on the street. Plus, by the time I had the misalignment spacers, joint, washers, and bolt stacked together, it was way tall. I needed to get a drop pitman arm for my for my sidekick power steering box anyways, so I decided to convert to fj80 tie rod ends. The great thing about this is, when I carry spare TRE's, they can be used for my drag link, or tie rod. I previously ran a 9/16 bolt in my setup, and the fj80 stud is just slightly larger, so all I had to do was ream out my mercedes arm on the top, and then my new pitman arm. I still need to buy a right hand thread end because lowrange was out of stock.
Finished up my mercedes stage 1 high steer. Mounted my radiator, filled the power steering and cooling system with fluids. Power steering works excellent so far. Seems to have some sort of odd vibe while driving though, so I need to dig into it and figure out exactly what's going on. Hoping it's just something simple. Also this rig was in last months issue of 4wd and offroad, so I was pretty proud of that. | 2019-04-22T20:18:19Z | https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/suzuki/2621858-86-samurai-tdi-swapped-truck-conversion-5.html |

Surprise rain brings expected flooding to Hidalgo County. It’s time drainage and county officials commit to solutions.
Many Rio Grande Valley residents woke up with floodwater filling their homes the morning of June 21st after storms poured through the night. The Mid-Valley cities of Harlingen, Mercedes, Donna, and Weslaco, as well as the colonias in unincorporated Hidalgo County were especially affected.
While this kind of flash flood is not typical, the RGV is prone to general flooding by heavy rain and other storm events, especially during hurricane season. For example, in October 2017, heavy rains paired with a cold front left some parts of northern Hidalgo with similar flooding problems. Last month, newer subdivisions and neighborhoods in the cities that usually don’t see flooding were also affected.
Over the past few weeks, county and municipal officials held town halls to provide emergency assistance information and update the public of the efforts taken during and after the event. Many angry and worried residents stacked the meeting rooms in McAllen and Weslaco to express their discontent for the capacity and management of the drainage systems that some say exacerbated the flooding.
These kinds of drainage problems, while new to some, have been some of the most pressing issues for residents of the colonias in unincorporated Hidalgo County for decades.
More than a week after the torrential rains, colonia Las Milpas was still struggling with standing water. Homes in this neighborhood are adjacent to a canal that overflowed, residents reported.
La Mesa Subdivision outside of Mercedes was one of the neighborhoods identified as having regional drainage problems by the state. Residents surveyed in 2014 mentioned that water gets a “foot deep and has gone inside the garage and close to getting into the house.” This time around residents suffered a worse fate as the flood entered some of the neighborhood homes and left standing water for weeks. Other neighborhoods including Indian Hills West (Mercedes), Hidalgo Park (South Pharr), Las Brisas Subdivision and Tijerina Estates (South Donna) also experienced similar problems with the overflow of larger canals or drainage systems into residential areas. Yet the drainage district stated the system worked as designed.
If the regional drainage system worked as it was meant to, then there is obviously something wrong. It should not be normal for entire neighborhoods to be two feet underwater because the drainage system overflowed. It is especially troublesome that most of the neighborhoods with repeated flooding are low-income areas of the region. A drainage system that repeatedly floods the most vulnerable and those with modest means is another example of how inequality is so entrenched in our community. That should be unacceptable to us.

At a public meeting in Weslaco last week Commissioner David Fuentes mentioned that a post-storm assessment of Precinct 1 would be completed. The engineering firm Halff Associates, which helped with the TWDB Colonias Drainage Study will conduct the assessment.
We do believe that understanding what happened during the downpour is critical. The County should study how regional systems, including canals and levees failed during last month’s storm. However, the last comprehensive TWDB study sparked little systemic change. Officials have understood so many of colonias’ drainage problems for so long and have done so little to ameliorate them. Advocates are calling on officials to commit resources and expertise to address the hazards our communities have been subjected to. It’s only a matter of time before another relentless storm, or worse, a hurricane strikes our community. We have had access to knowledge and resources to prevent the flooding we saw last month. It’s time we put that knowledge and those resources to work.

Buying and/or selling a ranch represents one of the most significant financial decisions a person will ever make during his/her lifetime. This is not your average Real Estate transaction, and it takes an above average Realtor/Broker that specializes in the Farm and Ranch Industry. My main focus is on the Farm and Ranch trade in Texas and New Mexico. I watch it so you don’t have to. I have been in the Farm and Ranch industry for over 4 decades, and I have made it my personal goal to deliver the best service and knowledge of the market.
My aspiration is to provide the most excellent service to my clients in order to make the purchasing, selling, management, and ownership of land a positive and rewarding experience.
I earned my real estate license in 1994 and hit the ground running. I started with a small firm called Carriage Company Realtorsand then I moved on to Re/Max of Midland where I remained until Legacy Real Estate purchased the company in 2003. I was with Legacy Real Estate for 12 years before embarking on a lifelong dream of owning my own Real Estate Brokerage, CM Ranch Real Estate.
Buying a tract of land or a ranch is one of the safest ways to invest money in today’s economy. A major factor in the Ranch Real Estate business and a major driver in this market is the hunting/ wildlife industry. This is a multi-billion dollar industry that keeps growing. An additional major factor in the ranching industry is the livestock, (i.e. cattle, sheep, goats). My family has been in the cattle business my entire life. For the most part, we were a Registered Operation producing Limousin Bulls. We held a production sale every year guaranteeing at least 150 to 225 bulls. Our cow average was about 1,100 to 1,500 head year round. I have a great deal of hands on experience with artificial insemination and high weight gains on feedlot cattle. With this being said, the great news is that the cattle industry is back on the move and shows a very positive forecast for the future. Regardless of the size you wish to buy, I can confidently reveal the upside in investing in this industry and trading ranches. I have personally touched every aspect of the ranching industry and hunting industry and can make this a positive venture for you.
In addition to my aforementioned experience,I also have countless hours on machinery in Ranch Management. I have worked several projects with Government agencies dealing with water improvements, brush control, and erosion control. I also have knowledge in improving grass to better range management.
I’m very active in the team roping/Rodeo world and a current member of the World Series of Team Roping and USTRC. I love to rope and am very competitive. I am also a proud member/supporter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and donate to several other wildlife foundations. I love the western way of life and believe in promoting it. I love roping, hunting, and my life as a Farm and Ranch Broker, I am certainly blessed; however, my biggest blessings come from being married to the love of my life, Farah, who also happens to be my “boss.” We have 3 children, a daughter and 2 sons, whom we are extremely proud of. Farah handles all of the CM Ranch Real Estate marketing and finances, she keeps us moving in a forward direction. She is my teammate and partner in everything I do.

We look forward to a long lasting relationship and would be honored to work with you.We will always be available for personal service by phone, text, email, and/or video chat so feel free to contact us for any reason and at any time. | 2019-04-19T23:18:58Z | http://farmandranchoftexas.com/about-caleb/ |

The iPhone 3G S (S stands for Speed, by the way) will indeed be speedy and considerably faster then the current iPhone (3G). The latest iPhone will sport a 600 MHz processor and 256MB of RAM. When compared to the iPhone 3G which has a 412MHz processor and 128MB of RAM it is definitely a notable speed increase. For those wondering, the second generation iPod Touch has a 532MHz processor. The faster processor and additional RAM in the iPhone 3G S will be welcome by app store developers without a doubt. I certainly expect to see more games coming to the iPhone 3G S – it may very well be the “funnest iPhone ever”.
The iPhone 3G S also has more pipelines, larger L1 cache, and even has an L2 cache of 256KB (the iPhone 3G does not have an L2 cache). Additionally, the new iPhone is using a PowerVR SGX graphics processing unit which provides support for OpenGL ES 2.0. The latest iPhone hardware is on par with that of the Palm Pre. In fact, they are essentially running the same hardware (at least for CPU/GPU).
I fully expect the new iPhone to perform as Apple claims (up to 2x faster) in typical usage. Nonetheless, this is seriously a beast of a phone mobile device. | 2019-04-26T02:37:28Z | https://www.besttechie.com/the-iphone-3g-s-will-be-speedy/ |

Took about 3 hours (2 hours too many).

lol, the cool looking ones always scare me in games. Reminds me of gilgamesh.
Could have jumped right out of a game!
3 hours were spend very useful, I like it. The shading is awesome dude!
Agree with B.O.B. This would make a killer boss. Nice color choice, and subtle backlighting. I also like the way you presented your pallette.

On January 28, 2016, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Merck and Co. manufactured Zepatier, a new oral treatment for adult patients with Chronic Hepatitis C (HCV) virus genotype 1 and 4 infections.
Zepatier is a once a day fixed-dose oral combination product containing elbasvir (HCV NS5A inhibitor) and grazoprevir (HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor) and indicated for use with or without ribavirin, not requiring use of interferon.
Zepatier was granted breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infection in patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis and for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 4 infection. Breakthrough therapy designation is a program designed to expedite the development and review of drugs that are intended to treat a serious condition and have preliminary clinical evidence to indicate that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy on a clinically significant endpoint.
The cost of the 12 week therapy is $54,000 which is approximately 40-50% lower than currently existing therapies.

Wesley Homes Des Moines brings the traveling ACT 1 Theatre Productions to its stage in The Terrace Auditorium with a Special Valentine's Evening bonus.
Wesley Homes Des Moines hosts three Valentine’s Day weekend performances of “The Fantasticks” by ACT 1 Theatre Productions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 12 through 14. Show times and tickets for Friday and Sunday performances and the Special Valentine's Eve performance - complete with a long-stemmed rose, chocolate and a gift for each member of the audience - can be found at Brown Paper Tickets.
“The Fantasticks” is a comical and romantic musical about a boy, a girl and their two parents who try to get them together by pretending to want to keep them apart.
As originally written, the play cast the respective fathers as the conniving parents. ACT 1 Theatre Productions Director Petra Karr has chosen to instead put the mothers into the story, a change previous directors of the play have made. While the lines in the play have not been altered, the dynamics of the story with two women delivering the lines is different. Karr made the change, in part, in order to take advantage of the way in which the two actors she cast as the mothers interact.
The narrator of the play, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart and find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo's words: "Without a hurt, the heart is hollow."
“The Fantasicks” is the longest running off/on Broadway musical in history. The book and lyrics were written by Tom Jones and the music composed by Harvey Schmidt.
ACT 1 is donating 100 tickets per Des Moines performance to Wesley Homes’ residents and encourages guests to purchase tickets early. Seating is limited.
For additional show times and locations or to find out more about ACT 1, please visit their website. All proceeds go to ACT 1 Theatre Productions.
With more than 50 combined years of regional and educational theatre experience under their belts, Christopher and Petra Karr officially launched ACT 1 Theatre Productions in 2008. In 2012, the theatre company became a non-profit organization. Though ACT 1 takes its act on the road, all of its major productions are done in the studio in Sumner, Washington. | 2019-04-18T19:54:33Z | https://www.prweb.com/releases/2016/01/prweb13187447.htm |
Create interactive features such as a chat area on your website for customers. Allowing your customers the ability to communicate with each other on your site makes them enjoy visiting you more. It is natural for people to want to be part of a group, and if you give them that feeling, they are more likely to return to your site.
Making and uploading a viral video and including tags in your video will aid in your internet marketing success. Be sure to include a link that leads to your site in the video’s description. You can significantly increase your website traffic by using this strategy.
Advertise with popular websites. If you spend this money, you will notice how much your traffic improves. The more daily visits a website has, the more potential customers will become familiar with your brand.
If writing is something you are skilled at, write an article containing information about your business and send it over to websites or magazines that allow article submissions. Be certain to add your company information and site information. Getting your articles published is easier if you cultivate relationships with editors; you can do this by giving out free samples or making affiliate arrangements.
Consider offering an e-freebie that represents your business or service well, and put it out there where it can reach the masses. If it’s an e-book that’s free, submit it to sites that provide free e-books. There are lots of different websites that offer general freebies, articles, e-books and e-zines that you can try to submit it to.
Never overlook something like direct marketing, as this can be an excellent complement to help in your Internet marketing efforts. You could call, email or send a fax to your customers to advertise a special offer. There are many ways to get the information of potential customers, including websites and the yellow pages.
How your website looks and the appearance it should be just as memorable as if the customer was walking into a store. Make sure you always test your links and ads to ensure that they work for your visitors. Consider the fact that your customers can’t enter your store if the doors are locked; if your site has bugs that prevent customers from shopping, they won’t stick around too long.
When you are just beginning in Internet marketing be realistic about the amount of money you will make. If you get good results, you might want to make a career out of it. But in the beginning, look at it as something fun.
There are many aspects involved in effective Internet marketing. The blessing is that there are many options available that you can customize to your particular business, and the curse is that it may be difficult to decide which options are right for you. The following tips will make your journey into Internet marketing a success. | 2019-04-22T16:17:49Z | http://cebuanddavao.com/internet-marketing-strategies-multiple-benefits/ |
Last night it was the 'beauty oscars', the CEW Awards demonstration evening. I'm lucky enough to be a member through work. For those of you who don't know it, CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) is the main beauty industry board in the UK. It's awards are one of the most sought-after as they give an official stamp of approval for a brand's product. So last night, all the brands who have been shortlisted were able to give their products to CEW members to try and then vote.
Needless to say it was a bit of a free for all, with most people having the same plan of heading for fragrances first, then prestige skincare, then onto the more mass market brands. You just had to grab what you could - a whole room full of beauty-crazed women means dignity kind of goes out the window!
It is hugely exciting checking out all the products when you get home. So many amazing classic and new beauty treats to discover and obviously there are a billion reviews to come! Brands who have been shortlisted include La Prairie, Nails Inc, Dr. Nick Lowe, Liz Earle and so many more!
All members will be voting over the next few weeks with the winners being announced at the end of April!
I would have loved to come to this and become a member of CEW in general, I am giving some serious thought and hope to come to the event next year.

The New Age Movement, what does it teach? Find out with Eric Barger on the show Christ in Prophecy.
Last aired on August 8, 2010.
Dr. Reagan: What in the world is the New Age Movement and how does it threaten the Church today? And why do many people believe that Oprah Winfrey has emerged as one of the premier leaders of the movement? For the answer to these questions by one of Christendom’s foremost experts on cultic movements, stay tuned.
Dr. Reagan: Greetings in the name of Jesus our blessed hope, and welcome to Christ in Prophecy. I am delighted to have back with me again this week my special guest Eric Barger. Third week you’ve been here Eric.
Eric Barger: It’s great, feels like an old hand now.
Dr. Reagan: I am also glad to have Nathan Jones with us to help interview Eric. Nathan is our Web Minister and he is on that site everyday of the week for about 8 hours. Answering questions and talking with people all over the world, so if you want to get acquainted with Nathan just e-mail him through our website, ask him the question that you have and he will be back in touch with you. Nathan, why don’t you start off with the first questions.
Nathan Jones: Sure! Well, your story is so interesting. Your testimony and all you started off in the church as a Christian and then somehow you ended up in the New Age Movement which isn’t Christian. How did the transition happen? And, again, I am still a little nebulous about the New Age Movement. What is the New Age Movement?
Eric Barger: Well the transition took place, I came out of a liberal church background. I say liberal, I was unsaved but I went to church and I’m not sure the Gospel is preached there faithfully it may have been I am just not sure. I just never meet Jesus there, no one every challenged me about a personal relationship. When I was about 13 years old I started playing in rock bands every Friday and Saturday night, I would be out playing some place. I was actually thinking about playing my first band when I was 11.
Eric Barger: Yeah, a local DJ heard about us, and I was kind of an anomaly at that age you know to be out playing in a band. But that is where it started, and by the time I was 16 or so I was a full blown drug addict, by the time I was 21 I was involved in New Age Philosophy. I moved to Seattle, a lot of New Age philosophy in Seattle, it became my religion. Now I would have still said there was a God, and I believe there was probably a guy named Jesus, that kind of thing. But I had adopted Eastern Mystic philosophies and techniques the arrow sticks, which you throw it is a form of fortune telling. The I Ching which is a book that explains to you life, you know from an Eastern viewpoint. And so I was into those kinds of things. I was very much into astrology charts, it wasn’t a little tiny thing in the newspaper. By the way I used to be an Aries and now I am a Christian. But it wasn’t a little thing in the newspaper. This was a scroll that had been made for me by a lady, I use that term very loosely who was a bona fide black witch and I literally would follow it, I was so superstitious by this it controlled my life. When I was playing in the band I would literally would not go out of the hotel room door until I knew what my stars said for that day.
Eric Barger: That is where I was at.
Nathan Jones: Because stars and planets determine your life?
Eric Barger: Exactly, you know even though those things have no bearing on it. The God who created me and controls my life He created those stars too. I don’t need to look up at the stars I need to look to the One who made them you know. And a lot of people today, I meet Christians all the time who will make some statement about, “Oh well he is a Libra and he will do this and he will do that.” And I go, “No that has nothing to do with it.” You know people don’t realize where they are putting their faith and trust.
Nathan Jones: So, is astrology a major component of the New Age Movement?
Eric Barger: It is more so the occult, but many things that are occultic flow into the New Age, and many things that cultic also flow into the New Age. And in the occult it is all in that genre of rebellious spiritualism that is maybe the best way to define it.
Dr. Reagan: Well how would you define the New Age Movement, it just seems so difficult to get your hands on it, it is so amorphous.
Eric Barger: I’ll give some definitions that I think one of these will stick with people. It is a Westernized form of Eastern Mysticism.
Dr. Reagan: Okay, very well put, yeah.
Eric Barger: And often time is not taught with the Maharishi or a figure like a bong wan or an Eastern Mystic leader now it is taught with a College Professor and it is taught in business courses in our colleges. But it is a Westernized form, it is put in our words. Some of the teachers and leaders on the PBS Network, we can start naming them by name, which I do in the DVD’s and in my seminars, are teaching these things. And you look to who their leaders and their gurus are, are Eastern Mystic gurus, but they are now Westernizing this teaching making it palatable to us and therefore making a fortune.
Dr. Reagan: So does this get into Pantheism?
Eric Barger: It certainly does, you know there are many, many gods or that you have become part of one ethereal god force.
Nathan Jones: Which is Hinduism, right?
Eric Barger: Yes, very much so, but Hinduism and Buddhism both flow in those. Most Americans wouldn’t say I am a practicing Hindu but many have adopted those philosophies as a way of life.
Dr. Reagan: Would you put the teaching spiritual teachings of Shirley MacLaine, for example into the New Age category?
Eric Barger: Certainly, she is out on a limb just like her books says.
Dr. Reagan: I am god.
Eric Barger: It is also a spiritual experience without the cost of repenting of your sin, and probably the best definition I can give is: any system of belief that tells you to look inside of yourself, to yourself for enlightenment, wisdom and power is generically New Age. Now we look to the Holy Spirit who lives in us for enlightenment, wisdom and power. But we are not god. In the New Age, you look to the spark of god, the god force within you for enlightenment, wisdom, or power, it is a very close counterfeit. And this is across the board today, doctors, lawyers, scientist, PhD’s, Nobel Prize winners, people of politicians, people of high mental capability. Okay I guess we can take the politicians out of that group come to think of it. But people of high mental capability who believe in these philosophies because it works, and just because it works doesn’t make it right. New Age philosophies do work, because they are spiritually powered, they work, but by what spirit it works should be the question we ask.
Nathan Jones: It works in the here and now, but for eternity it doesn’t work.
Eric Barger: No, not at all and that’s the thing people want it now. Of course we live in a culture that if the one drive-thru across the street isn’t fast enough we drive across to the other one that is faster that is where we are as a culture.
Dr. Reagan: Well it seems to me that there is an overwhelming, the New Age Movement indicates an overwhelming need of people to have something spiritual in their lives. They want some sort of spiritual expressions but they want one that makes no demands on their life.
Dr. Reagan: I mean this is the Hollywood religion, owe yes I am very religious, I sit and I meditate, and I hum and I do all of this, but I don’t have any demands on my life in terms of morality or whatever.
Eric Barger: Jesus calls us to come to God through repentance. The New Age Movement doesn’t like that idea. Our culture doesn’t like the idea. We want a spiritual experience without the cost of repentance of our sins.
Dr. Reagan: Well that happens to be one of the most unpopular words in all of Christianity today.
Dr. Reagan: You flip on TV and you see ministers of some of the largest churches in American who would never mention the word repentance, because it might offend somebody.
Dr. Reagan: Or that they are sinners.
Eric Barger: Exactly those words are all left out in many Christian circles but that is, that is the core message of Christianity that is being cut off at the knees.
Dr. Reagan: So Christianity itself is being impacted by the New Age Movement.
Eric Barger: It is, it is and do you know why, because our culture has adopted the gospel of self as a religion.
Nathan Jones: How many churches are holding Yoga, that is what gets me. Yoga now is becoming a mainstream class offered in churches.
Eric Barger: That’s big in emerging circles. I heard Rob Bell and Doug Pagitt both recently speak about how Yoga is so transforming.
Nathan Jones: Empty yourself out, when we should be filling ourselves with the Holy Spirit and the Bible and thinking on these things. We are emptying ourselves so we don’t think of anything.
Eric Barger: Rob Bell went as far, and he is an emergent leader from Michigan to say that we should listen to the message of the Yoga masters. Now wait a minute, I know about that, and yet his congregation seems to buy into this because many of them have no church background. You can have a big congregation but it depends on what type of Gospel you preach when you get in there. I will take 10 people who will turn a community upside down for the glory of God, over a thousand who will sit there and do nothing and never, ever make it to Heaven. We want those 10 who will actually go out and evangelize with the Gospel not with a false counterfeit.
Dr. Reagan: Reminds me of a sermon that I heard here in this area by a Hispanic preacher who was talking about what is a live church. And he said, “We often think a live church is one that has lots of activities going on.” He said, “The other day I opened the newspaper and here is a major denomination in our city and they are offering Yoga classes, Transcendental Meditation classes and all kinds of Eastern, Oriental, Mystical things that have spiritual significance to them, they are not just neutral. And he says, “Lots of activities going on, but he says, “It is just spiritually dead.” He said, “Folks it reminds when I was a kid and living in Mexico once a week we went to Grandma’s house and we looked forward to it on Sunday because she had chickens and we got meat once a week. And she would go out to the back yard and she would grab a chicken and she would pop her wrist, and pop that chicken’s head off and it would run all over the yard. Said it was the liveliest and active chicken in the yard and it was the deadest.” Now brother that preached.
Eric Barger: That is great, that is great, let me write that down, new sermon title, dead chicken will preach.
Dr. Reagan: Dead chicken that is real active, you know. It is just, it is a lack of discernment that people just don’t seem to understand that something like Yoga and this sort of thing has spiritual significance.
Eric Barger: It most certainly does no doubt about it. And those who have brought this into our culture and now it has seeped its way into the church. Hey if a church doesn’t stand for good doctrine, if we don’t have a standard that is the Bible being the truth we follow, and the only truth we follow, this other stuff is going to make in the door, it is just that simple.
Dr. Reagan: And I am reminded of this I think, I guess it wasn’t a novel but it was a sort of self-help book, The Celestine Prophecy wasn’t that a New Age type of book? And I saw Christian everywhere reading this thing.
Eric Barger: Yeah, yeah. Well you take a look of the reading, I was in a well known national chain print shop recently, a whole book rack there of self-help books. And I went down through them and I went I can find one Christian there throughout all of these books and the rest of them every one of them I could name to you as somebody that has adopted Eastern philosophies and put it into a Western context as a New Ager. So this is the stuff that is being sold to us as the way to control the problems or the things in our life, to get what we want to think and grow rich ideas.
Eric Barger: The idea that we can, we are going to make it through life and be more popular people and be more powerful around people by using these techniques, so it works, yeah. But let’s never forget atomic bombs work, just because they work doesn’t make it right, you know.
Nathan Jones: That seems to be the theme that you have talked about – the New Age and the Emergent all these – everything seems to go back to the sin that Adam and Eve committed when Satan said, “You will be like gods.” Everything you have said about this replaces God with us.
Nathan Jones: And we buy into that.
Eric Barger: That is exactly right. I think the five major doctrines even though New Agers would never claim to hang the doctrine, but the five major belief systems inside the New Age coming right out of Genesis 3:1-5 the Fall of mankind, starting with the very first Trans channeling or mediumship or séance in history. The devil possessed the body of a serpent and spoke to Eve the same as a medium gives over the use of his body to a spirit to speak to people today. I mean that is the first séance that we have ever seen in recorded history and that is where the lie came from, just like the same lie is being perpetrated in New Age séance.
Dr. Reagan: Several years ago I read a New Age book that just astounded me, it talked about the fact that the masters of the universe have been channeling to New Age philosophers. And one of the things they’ve told them is that time is coming in the very soon future when those who live by faith will be taken out so that those who live by reason can continue in their evolutionary development and develop the world and the earth and all this. And I thought man this is going to be a New Age explanation of the Rapture.
Eric Barger: Oh, most certainly, the Devil reads the Bible, the Devil knows.
Dr. Reagan: And they will be able to say, “Hey we told you this back in 1970 we told you this in ’75 this is what happened.
Eric Barger: Yeah the Devil is a Bible expert no doubt about it. Look at the most famous transchanneler in modern history is J.Z. Knight but the name of the demons she channels Ramtha is more famous then her. I mean she has been doing that for over 30 years, I saw a clip on YouTube recently when she is on the Merv Griffin show and she is talking to Merv Griffin as herself, and they go out to break and come back and Ramtha has shown up while they are at break. And this is a mans voice now speaking out of this woman’s body. Now whether it is fake or not it is just like Saul in 1 Samuel 28, he went to the witch of Endor, whether that was Samuel or not that spoke to him, he died the next day for even trying to contact the spirit realm. Folks we are not to be involved contacting any spirit in the spirit realm except the Holy Spirit of God.
Eric Barger: All other spirits that do not confess Jesus Christ as Lord, whether they be angels or spiritual beings, they are demonic spirits they are counterfeits. And our world today is loaded with people looking for anything. They think a spiritual experience validates the idea that it must of come from God, it must be good. They forgotten or didn’t know that Satan comes as an angel of light.
Dr. Reagan: Welcome back to our interview with Eric Barger, who is the Founder and Director of Take a Stand Ministries. I like that name, we desperately need to do that in this day and time, take a stand. Now Eric I heard an expert on the New Age Movement recently make a startling statement and I want to read it to you because I want to get it right. He said, “The largest church in the world is preaching New Age philosophy, and the pastor of that church is Oprah Winfrey.” What did he mean by that?
Eric Barger: Well she is the most influential New Ager out there, by far the most famous New Ager. Ten to twelve years ago I began to make off the cuff statement in my seminars that Oprah was a New Ager, and I took a lot of heat for it.
Eric Barger: Phone calls, letters, and then later on when e-mail became popular, e-mails telling me, “No Oprah is a Baptist.” You know and people defender her, these are Christians defending her. And I am going, nope what Oprah is teaching is New Age and eventually we will all know. And now we do know.
Dr. Reagan: Well she just finally came out of the closet.
Eric Barger: Completely, completely came out of the closet this year. And I want to preface anything we say now or anything we have said about the Emergent Church and others the last show we were talking about in the last program, this is not about good person versus bad person this is about truth versus error and that is what apologetics is, it’s the study of what truth is against what error is. And it’s not that we hate anybody, we are praying, I pray for Oprah Winfrey nearly everyday that she would be saved and think about the impact that she could have.
Dr. Reagan: And I found that people often respond to any criticism of her by saying, “Look at all the good work that she does.” And she does a lot of good works.
Dr. Reagan: And denied that Jesus was the only way to God on her program.
Eric Barger: She is arguing with two audience members, saying that there couldn’t possibly be just one way, there are millions of ways that was her exact words you know. This is a headline from US Today, we will probably put this up on the screen, Cultural Agenda is Set by Oprah not Religious Leaders.
Dr. Reagan: And that is true.
Dr. Reagan: Recently Oprah has really begun to actively and aggressively teach New Age Philosophy right?
Dr. Reagan: Not only on TV but mainly on the Satellite radio, right?
Eric Barger: Satellite radio and the Internet but now on TV. She is coming out of the closet.
Dr. Reagan: Who are some of the gurus she is using?
Eric Barger: Well Eckhart Tolle, and his book A New Earth, she made him an instant millionaire. He was a well known New Age author before, but he is not the only one she has had on there. She promoted and really brought out to the public the book, The Secret, three years or so ago. And all you would have to do is go to the websites of the authors of The Secret, to see what this was. It was a mix of the Kabala and Gnosticism and Rosicrucianism and she helped to promote that idea. She has also had on her XM satellite radio channel a lady named Esther Hicks who is a transchanellor, who channels who channels several entities who all call themselves Abraham they are different to her. Now this must be confusing at Thanksgiving dinner.
Dr. Reagan: There are several Abrahams?
Eric Barger: Several Abrahams but that is one of them and this lady has also been on our TV show and Oprah has probably has done more to promote the old New Age philosophy of A Course in Miracles then anybody else.
Eric Barger: Because she has brought Mary Ann Williamson to her website and to her TV set, now Mary Ann Williamson is doing a devotional everyday during 2008 on Oprah’s XM radio network that came right out of the Course in Miracles. And Mary Ann Ramson has written a book about it, she is unity minister by the way, which is not a Christian denomination.
Eric Barger: It’s a cult my mother was involved with for 25 years before she got saved, and tragically passed away. But, so I know all about Unity and that’s Oprah is promoting this.
Dr. Reagan: I know for a long time there Oprah continued to say that she was a Christian but does she even claim that anymore? Do you know?
Eric Barger: She doesn’t claim that at all, you know, she doesn’t claim it at all, and she is bringing the heaviest hitters in the New Age Movement.
Dr. Reagan: Well I didn’t know that.
Eric Barger: Because he wanted to be connected forever with a 14th Century occult mystic named Meister Tolle or Meister Eckhart, sorry. I mean that’s how deep this guy is, he is into all kinds of mysticism. And he says, the first thing when you ask him his influences he says, A Course in Miracles and that is something a common theme throughout all these New Age leaders and authors today. But here is Oprah turns to him and says to him, “So if your God is a believing experience it really is not God because God is a feeling experience and not a believing experience.” And folks if you go on your feelings you will be deceived; if you go on the absolute truth of God’s Word you will never be deceived.
Dr. Reagan: Amen, brother preach it.
Dr. Reagan: Eric the Bible says that in the End Times right before the return of Jesus we are going to enter into a period of great deception. And it seems to me that we are in that period and it seems to me that one of the greatest needs in the church today is discernment. How can a person become a more discerning Christian because all of us are capable of being deceived? How can we be more discerning?
Eric Barger: There is no short cut for sound Bible study, there is no short cut for the preaching of the Word of God. I say enough with the programs, enough with the spin doctors from the pulpit. That we come back and teach the Word of God to our people because as you said privately to me there is a famine of the Word. And there is a famine of the Gospel today amongst our people. I am talking about in evangelical circles. Places that say they believe the Bible let’s preach the Word of God, enough of the programs. Come back to the Word. Look at what is happening in the lives of the people and tell me there isn’t a need.
Dr. Reagan: And it’s not just the responsibility of the preacher or the teacher, it is the responsibility of each of us as Christians to study.
Dr. Reagan: You know you are talking about what my colleague Dennis Pollack used to call the 5 letter dirty word, STUDY.
Dr. Reagan: And people just don’t want to.
Eric Barger: That is because we have allowed Television and everything else to get in our way.
Nathan Jones: But, they can watch this show.
Eric Barger: Obviously we are not against TV, we’ve got my DVD sitting here, we’re on TV right now. That isn’t, the point is that we’ve have forgotten what the on/off button does we let everything get in our way. We let, well I am going to get on somebody, we let Sunday morning soccer tournaments get in our way. We let all this other stuff get in our way from being first of all constant in the church, but maybe more important, constant in the Word of God. If you had to look at what’s the most important thing knowing the Word because from there everything thing else emanates that we are supposed to be.
Dr. Reagan: Well the bottom line is you can just never become a discerning Christian if your only spiritual experience is one hour a week on Sunday morning.
Eric Barger: I never forget when I was a youth pastor I had a distraught mother come to me and say, “My son is doing all this stuff, can’t you do something about it?” I said, “Ma’am, I only have him for an hour on Friday nights, I can not replace what the school system has taught him, what his friends have done to him, what is happening in the home.” I mean she looked at me like, I thought you were the problem fixer, the problem solver for my son’s problem. And it is the same with us as adults.
Dr. Reagan: When I first became acutely aware of this problem of discernment was when the Barna polls began to, I began to read those concerning the freshman in evangelical colleges and universities coming out of evangelical churches who could not even name the four Gospels or name 2 of the Apostles.
Eric Barger: Yeah, you don’t dare ask them where Philemon is. Yeah.
Dr. Reagan: And you ask them, and then you begin to wonder what are they doing in these churches just weenie roasts?
Eric Barger: Yeah, yeah, it makes you wonder and that is part of it, that is certainly part of it, but this is also the Era we live in. We live in the time when the Apostle Paul said to the Thessalonians that the mystery of iniquity would abound.
Eric Barger: That is a mysterious, occultic, direct affront to the Word of God that’s what those words mean, the mysterion of anomia, mystery of iniquity. When He said that is something behind that, when the occult rises up, and I have a whole DVD and message about this, when we see the rise of the occult we know that is a prophetic sign that has to happen just before the return of the Lord. At the same time there is going to be this famine of the Word of God, where we have a lot of people that have a form of godliness but deny the power there of.
Eric Barger: We see these things. To the Christian, to the Pastor, to the Sunday School teacher, examine what you are going to present to the people, examine what you take into your heart. It’s fine to read other books then the Bible, but if the Bible isn’t being read, do you really have time to read another book?
Dr. Reagan: Well it seems to me, test everything, test it by the Word of God.
Dr. Reagan: And if you don’t know the Word of God you can not test it, but you’ve got to test it. The fact that a person gets up and who is smooth and charismatic and dynamic, and can speak well, and mentions Jesus name a whole lot of times, does not necessarily mean that he is teaching the truth. And maybe 90% of what he is saying is absolutely true, but it is just that 10% that is so off base, you’ve got to test it. Paul complemented the Bereans for testing everything that he taught by the Word, and he was an Apostle of God. How much more should they test what you teach and what I teach?
Eric Barger: Oh, I invite people, I say this so often when I am teaching to test what I’m telling you, to test what I am teaching, to test what I have on the screen behind me in my seminars, to test what I am saying. And if you do you’re going to come out there ahead, more Biblically sound. We need Christians who will test through the Word of God, use the Word of God as the strainer to strain everything through, now we are going to get into this.
Dr. Reagan: Brother you have got some wonderful materials on your website that you have produced to help people to be more discerning. So would you just look into that camera and tell people how they can get in touch with your website.
Eric Barger: I appreciate that. It is ericbarger.com, E-R-I-C-B-A-R-G-E-R.COM or course www. And for those that do not have web access you can call us at 214-289-5244, we would be glad to send you an informational package.
Dr. Reagan: Mention that telephone number one more time.
Eric Barger: It is 214-289-5244, and that is our office line, just leave a message if we don’t answer we will call you back.
Dr. Reagan: And you have quite a variety of materials, videos, pamphlets and so forth that they can order.
Eric Barger: We’ll send a free packet of information with some past newsletters and that kind of thing.
Dr. Reagan: Well that’s great. Well Eric I want to thank you again for being on this program and you know I would like to ask you to come back for a 4th week. Would you be willing to do that?
Eric Barger: Well I started to say a minute ago, I would love to get into one thing that we’re going to talk about here.
Dr. Reagan: Because I would like to talk about many roads to God and some things like that. | 2019-04-22T20:23:17Z | https://christinprophecy.org/sermons/defending-the-faith-with-eric-barger-part-3/ |
So, the question we are answering in this week’s blog is a simple one.
Can you get car finance with bad credit?
Well, here are a few ways that you can do just that.
This has the best long-term benefit but is the most time consuming of all the options here. Improving your credit rating is a good way to show lenders that you can be trusted with repayment. This increases your chances of getting car finance with decent rates.
Okay, so you may have a bad credit score. But what does bad actually look like? To get a decent view of your credit history, use a credit check service. This should tell you about any active credit, any missed payments and people who are financially linked to you.
This is a good place to start. Make sure all of your details are correct and up to date. Not only does this help when lenders do credit checks, but it will also reduce the risk of fraud.
You may have an old joint credit account with someone who has since fallen into bad credit. In cases like this, it is possible that the black mark against their name is dragging you down.
If you want to sever ties with these people financially, you will need to issue a notice of disassociation. After some checks, credit reference agencies should be able to remove this person from your file.
If you have a debt to pay off already, having a growing debt is not going to do you any favours. Keeping up with your repayments is a good sign to lenders that you can borrow responsibly. This will – over time – help to improve your credit score.
Also, try not to exceed 75% of your credit limit. Running yourself up to the wire again and again could be an indication that you are bad at managing your money. This also applies to late payments and exceeding your credit limit. Keep a close eye on your spending and prove that you can keep on top of your debt.This gives you a better chance of obtaining car finance with bad credit.
With finance deals like hire purchase or personal contract purchase, you’re usually asked to put down a deposit. Normally, this can be around 10%, but it will vary depending on what deal you are after.
Putting a little more money down at this stage could help the lender’s confidence in your ability to make repayments. This, in turn, may result in a better interest rate for you. | 2019-04-22T23:05:57Z | https://moolr.co.uk/how-to-get-car-finance-with-bad-credit/ |

Discipline: How Much Should An SRO Be Involved?
When should a building principal call the SRO to be involved in disciplinary issues?
We live in a contextual world and it helps to place tough decisions in a known context. Here’s one technique (and context) that principals can use as a filter for when to call or not to call an SRO.

[theatro] is a rhythmical reading experience, a 5.5 meters long transcript of a seminar performance reflecting it’s original pulse and duration. It is based on the seminar performance “PUZZLE”, that took place at FROWN, Athens initiated by Maria Lalou, consisted of Katerina Drakopoulou [A], Maro Zacharogianni [B], Maria Lalou [O], Mirrored Glass Object [X] and a live-feed camera. In this work Maria Lalou uses two software platforms for writing. Powerpoint for the pre-fabricated text and a live performed text on ‘Word’, both projected on the screen from her computer. [theatro] is verbatim transcription of the piece with several functions. Next to the documentation of the PUZZLE performance and a manual reading, it also serves as a script for the play, ‘I AM A ‘Φ’.
During the book launch in Motto Lalou will introduce the work with the lecture performance ‘theatre of consciousness’ a work based on a critical text that Lalou has written in 2013 for the academic press ‘activate’ published in London prior to the idea of [theatro]. The performance’ theatre of consciousness refers to the seen and the seer through an analysis that places the audience in a central position and as a core thematic of ‘the seen’.
[theatro] is published by Onomatopee launched primary in Eindhoven at Lalou’s solo exhibition ‘a spect’ during June 2015. The publication is designed in collaboration with Yin Yin Wong/Werkplats and includes an introduction to the work by Alena Alexandrova.
[theatro] leporello will be installed in its full length from the 19th November in the vitrines of Motto accessed through the public space. Lalou is producing a limited edition of prints of the floor plan ‘archetype’ which is one of her basic tools for this series of work, to will be installed in the exhibition space.

You might have started selling online through a market place like Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Cqout or your local favorite like DaWanda in Germany, Marktplaats in The Netherlands or Allegro in Poland. Hopefully, your business is growing and if things go well you will soon need your own platform. Increasingly you will face the relatively high costs of the platform you use, but more important is the fact it doesn’t allow you to grow and stand out from the crowd. It might be high time to have your own branded store to really engage with your customers. So, how do you know when it’s time to take the next step? I already planned writing about this topic for a longer time when I ran into a nice post by the experts of Entrepreneur.com that very well identifies six signs that you and your business are ready to “take the plunge” and begin selling on your own e-commerce platform. This blog post originally appeared at webmerceblog.
Without your own independent revenue stream it can literally feel like your platform provider is “eating you alive with fees”. The marketplaces make their money of fees, often around 15 percent, generated by each transaction. Of course this might be nothing but fair for the services they offer, but you have to be aware of it. There might come a moment that you know ways how to make better use of that money. “When you’re starting out, fifteen percent may not seem like a huge number but once you start making significant sales in the five-figure range, you are forking over thousands of dollars to these platforms that can otherwise be moved under your own bank account,” explains Terry Lin, an e-commerce educator and founder of fashion accessory company Baller Leather.
Setting up your own webshop isn’t for free, it will demand a serious investment in time and money. You know best whether in the long run this is a more strategic option for you.
To protect your business, you’ll need more than one stream of revenue. “If you have everything built on a single platform, you’ll be boned if you get kicked off,” explains Brad DeGraw, author of e-book FBA-Hot List.
For many people, the moment to diversify is when their revenue reaches $10,000 per month, says Degraw. Of course you don’t have to wait that long. Other reasons might stimulate you to reconsider the single platform approach. And this isn’t necessarily a hard route. Currently, several platforms make it simple to open your own online store(s) for low monthly rates. Having your own shop means a new sales channel that you fully control yourself and you are the one who owns the clients and their data.
Depending on your product it is for sure possible to earn well just by being present on marketplaces. Nevertheless, experst like DeGraw also recommend creating your own platform once sales there begin to slow.
When (potential) customers will ask you where they can find your online store, you know it’s high time if not already too late. Having your own site is a sign of brand maturity and tells customers that there is a serious business behind your product. Sending them to your page on a market place won’t give the same professional and reliable image.
When you start your online business you probably don’t know the exact needs of your buyers. But at a certain moment you will feel you want to arrange things in another way than the marketplace allows you to do. You just know you need customized functionality to better present your products and improve the consumer experience. Most marketplaces handle cloth shops very well, but when you sell more complex products with a high level of customization, like curtains, blinds or motorcycle parts, you may need a more adjustable solution. Besides, you will probably need integration with other systems, like a CRM, ERP or catalogue manager when you grow. For sure you will need a lot of statistics to follow the customer journey to find out what you can still approve and how to support your customer better. Such data are crucial for the success of your shop. Your needs will dramatically increase once you start doing business with clients abroad. This might seem far away for your business today, but among our clients we see this is becoming a real challenge. At once your shop has to become multi-lingual, you need to handle multiple currencies and your logistic partners will increase.
“There is a reason Louis Vuitton and other luxury brands avoid listing their products on Amazon and never provide discounts,” Lin says. Such companies aim to keep up a sense of exclusivity and therefore won’t officially present their products through a marketplace. This strategy is usually for low volume, high margin businesses in the jewelry, fashion and accessory industries where a great user experience is a must.
If you are selling wholesale, business-to-business or items in bulk, having your own webshop will also make your business seem more credible. Your clients will know where they can find you.
When you are running a shop or you consider doing it, you just know that there are many product variations. There isn’t one size that fits us all. This is applicable to marketplaces as well. For many businesses it will be the right place to start and probably you will remain being present there for ever. But at a certain moment you will just feel it’s time to open your self owned shop. And isn’t that basically just good news! Good luck with that challenge and feel free to contact me if you would like to share your challenge. Please feel invited to leave your questions and comments below. | 2019-04-24T06:11:37Z | http://petersopinion.com/2014/10/31/time-to-open-own-webshop/ |
Austria's new coalition is being sworn-in today, which will make it the only western European state with a far-right presence in government.
At 31 years-old Sebastian Kurz will also become Europe's youngest leader.
At the weekend Kurz and his conservatives ( The Peaople's Party OVP) struck a controversial deal to share power almost equally with the far-right Freedom party lead by Heinz-Christian Strache.
The FPO will not only take the Vice Chancellorship but will also also control foreign, interior and defence ministries.
As part of the horse trading to form a government the FPO which ant-immigration is insisting on a reduction in the numbers entering the country and a cut in benefits to refugees.
It has however had to give up on wanting a referendum on Austria's membership of the EU and Austria's president said he's been reassures the new coaltion will remain pro-European. | 2019-04-20T03:03:02Z | https://www.euronews.com/2017/12/18/austria-s-new-government-to-be-sworn-in-after-controversial-deal-with-far-right |
From Great Lakes rescues to patrols during World War II, The Escanaba is the most famous cutter you’ve probably never heard of. Over 120 men were saved when the troopship Dorchester was sunk by a Nazi submarine on February 3rd, 1943. 101 of those men would be lost when the Esky itself exploded and sank. There has never been a conclusive answer to why it was lost, but this Mixtory shares some rare eyewitness accounts of the disaster.

3 Take-Aways from 3 Days @BHI2017 | Health Solutions Research, Inc.
Both Ram and I presented papers at the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical & Health Informatics (BHI2017) conference that wrapped up earlier today in Orlando, FL and are happy to report that our talk our GeoHealth Dashboard was well received indeed.
My talk focused on the GeoHealth Dashboard we have built over the past year. The GeoHealth Dashboard is a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform with a data analytic engine that takes health data, demographic data, as well as social factors impacting health outcomes to develop solutions for some of the most critical population health challenges we currently face.
Two specific applications for which the GeoHealth Dashboard provides insights were the subject of Ram’s talk – first how the Dashboard can provide decision support at both the hospital systems level and the state level into better fiscal management of Maryland’s All-Payer system. Second, the Dashboard can also be used in developing responses to the opioid epidemic we currently face.
That our talks were well received is an indication that there is a lot of exciting around the prospect of using GIS to analyze data.
Natural Language Processing is garnering a lot of attention from the research community – highlighting that data entry challenges into electronic health record (EHR) systems are not only real, but do hamper the ability of those systems to contribute to patient care.
Another area of research focus at BHI2017 were the various efforts in machine learning, including deep learning approaches. There is a great deal of interest in using machines and artificial intelligence to process large amounts of healthcare data to do a range of things from improving patient diagnosis to developing new standards of care.
Overall, BHI2017 was a good collection of engineers, scientists, and practitioners working to develop new technologies to advance healthcare into the future. We’re glad to have been a part.
And the journey isn’t done – HIMSS17 starts tomorrow! | 2019-04-25T08:01:16Z | http://healthsolutionsresearch.org/2017/02/19/3-take-aways-3-days-bhi2017/ |

This event is being organized to discuss the Luxembourg Rail Protocol to the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment, and how the Protocol will play a key role in attracting private capital. The purpose of attracting capital is to create a sustainable model for supporting existing and new rail projects. In turn, it is hoped that this would facilitate banks and other funders who are providing finance for rolling stock procurement through secured credit and leasing equipment (that is, rolling stock) to operators without the need for State guarantees.
Could the Luxembourg Protocol enhance Belt and Road competitiveness? | 2019-04-19T06:52:35Z | https://www.uneca.org/railway-rolling-stock-financing |
GOP Gubernatorial candidate Betty Ireland appears to be having more problems with fundraising, if the absence of promised TV ads is any indication. Shortly after GOP rival Bill Maloney went up with his first TV ad on April 10th, the Charleston Daily Mail quoted an Ireland spokeswoman saying that their campaign's TV ads would begin "within the week." That was ten days ago and still no Ireland TV ad as of this writing.
The same Daily Mail story noted that, according to campaign finance filings, the Maloney campaign had over twice as much money on hand as Ireland's campaign.
We noted earlier in this primary campaign that Ireland was having trouble finding the number of donors needed to fund a top-flight campaign. Reports out of Parkersburg indicated that turnout for an Ireland fundraiser at the Blennerhassett Hotel was quite low. Unlike other Republican candidates like Bill Maloney or State Senator Clark Barnes, all indications have been that Ireland needed outside funding to make this race happen.
While it is true that Ireland has the advantage of serving one term as a statewide official, the truth is that she hasn't been on a ballot since 2004--seven long years ago. When Ireland opted against running for re-election in 2008, she forestalled a possible loss, but she also went off the state electorate's radar screen.
As a result, Ireland had one overriding mission for this year's campaign. She needed to raise the money necessary to reinforce the public's memory of her time as Secretary of State, to tell the voters how her experience there prepares her for the role of CEO of West Virginia.
Money isn't everything in politics. But in a statewide race, it has unfortunately become a prerequisite. Simply put, an individual candidate for Governor can't hope to be everywhere at once. But sufficient funds in a statewide campaign can close that gap significantly.
Increasingly, only Bill Maloney and Clark Barnes appear to have the funding necessary to get their message out. Short of a miracle, Ireland does not appear to have the resources to compete against these two better-funded candidates for the May 14th GOP nominating election. This may come as a disappointment to her supporters, but at least the Party of Lincoln offers them other good choices this year. | 2019-04-24T22:09:10Z | http://www.huntingtonnews.net/3443?format=print |

Klein Forest High School is the second high school built in Klein ISD. Opening in the Fall of 1979, Klein Forest welcomed students from the southern side of the district, including the Champions area of 1960. Klein Forest celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009. There are two intermediate campuses and seven elementary schools within its feeder pattern. In the Spring of 2011, Klein Forest opened an NCAA-modeled athletic facility. Klein Forest High School works diligently to provide our students with real world experiences and opportunities that will assist in developing learners for a changing world. Newsweek magazine recognized KFHS as a Top 1,500 High School for three years in a row (2008-2011). Our teachers work to bring academic excellence, rigor, and relevance to our students each and every day. Over the past several years, our campus has seen gains in many areas including our completion rate, decreases in disciplinary infractions and implementation of a character education program for all of our students.
Klein Forest is rated as a Met Standard campus in Klein ISD.
Klein Forest High School is separated into nine academic houses in which students have access to a counselor and administrator. Each house operates a smaller learning community within the professional learning community of Klein Forest. There are 14 counselors that students have access to on campus, with different areas of expertise including academic readiness, college and career readiness, special education, and crisis intervention. Klein Forest houses a College and Career Center that is staffed in connection with Lone Star College system to assist with college preparation for all students on our campus including such things as SAT/ACT registration, college applications (with representatives from various university recruitment representatives), nancial aid applications, etc.
Klein Forest High School welcomes parent and community volunteers. Our two parent and community liaisons work extensively with these two groups to ensure involvement. We also have a community-based corp of volunteers comprised of local senior citizens called Friends of the Forest. Several times throughout the year, Friends of the Forest coordinate and assist with activities related to campus activities of Klein Forest.
Klein Forest continues to offer students an academically recognized program of equity and excellence. KFHS offers 21 Advanced Placement (AP) courses as well as dual credit courses. Student scholars can also participate in the International Business Academy (IBA) and an Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program – both of which are recognized nationally. Aquilae Stylus, KFHS Art/Literary Anthology received its 17th “Excellent” rating from the National Council of Teachers of English in 2011.
The ELA program at the high school level encourages students to become lifelong readers through efferent and aesthetic reading experiences, to think critically, and to communicate verbally and writing in all purposes and modes specified by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Methods of instruction are adapted to meet the needs of students and technology is integrated to enhance communication skills. High school courses are designed to re ne the skills of students to prepare them for a transition to college or career.
In high school, students conduct eld and laboratory investigations, use scienti c methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical-thinking and scienti c problem solving.
At the high school level, social studies courses include world geography, U.S. history, world history, government, psychology, sociology, economics, and special topics in social studies.
Klein Forest students have tablet computers, part of the KISD one-to-one technology initiative, that they use in their classes and at home throughout the school year. There are six honor societies including National Honor Society, Art Honor Society, French Honor Society, Quill and Scroll Journalism Society and Thespians. KFHS has A.V.I.D. (Advancement Via Individual Determination) which is a college preparatory system that ensures that students are college ready. KFHS has an extensive, award-winning Fine Arts program that includes band, choir, orchestra, drill team, art and theater arts. A comprehensive career and technology department includes courses that offer certi cation in elds such as Cisco Networking Systems, Restaurant and Food Safety, Emergency Medical Technician, and Cosmetology and Veterinary Technician. Our yearbook, The Evergreen received “Best Of” by the Balfour/Taylor Publishing Company, a recognition given to only 45 out of 7,000 schools. There are over 50 extracurricular and co-curricular organizations for students to get involved.
Klein Forest High School offers a competitive and complete athletic experience for students who attend our school. KFHS offers football, basketball, volleyball, track, cross country, swimming, softball, baseball, soccer and a sports medicine program. Several athletes from Klein Forest have received scholarships from colleges and universities throughout the nation.
At KFHS, we implement writing across the curriculum that encourages students to take AP and dual credit courses. During the past year, 356 students took at least one AP exam. In Texas, only 14.3 percent of students earn college credit for the course based on their AP exam score. Klein Forest, however, had 31.5 percent of students earn a score that guaranteed college credit on the exams. The greatest asset to Klein Forest is our students – current and former. Many students go on to win awards, are nationally recognized, serve on many different boards within the community, become Olympic athletes, serve as of cers in the military, or pursue careers as doctors, lawyers and teachers on our campus. In addition to these honors, we have had many students during their years at Klein Forest be recognized throughout the state and the nation for their involvement in extracurricular organizations. We welcome visitors to our campus at anytime and hope that they will come to view this amazing campus. We continuously host student or teacher tours, allowing visitors to see the campus, observe rst-hand our facilities, and experience the academic programs in action. | 2019-04-18T15:14:20Z | https://sites.google.com/kleinisd.net/snapshots/high-school/klein-forest |
Broker-Dealers are usually trading facilitators rather than investors. Included in this group are sell-side research firms with broker operations, NYSE and Nasdaq trading desk positions of investment banks, investment banking client desks that execute buyback programs on behalf of corporations, private client firms that essentially act as custodians for high net worth individuals, and brokers that sell unit investment trusts or exchange traded products.
Emerging Markets - These investors focus primarily on companies in the developing economies of Latin America, the Far East, Europe, and Africa.
Hedge Fund investors have the majority of their funds invested in some sort of market neutral strategy. Notably, the term 'hedge fund' is both a legal structure (as opposed to a mutual fund) and an investment style. Nearly every firm that uses a hedge fund or market neutral style is legally organized as a hedge fund (and thus only open to accredited investors). Many are offshore funds that are unregistered, have no investment limitations, and are not subject to disclosure regulations. The common element is that any long position taken in a specific equity is offset by a short position in either a merger partner (risk arbitrage), an 'overvalued' member of the same sector (long/short paired trading), a convertible bond (convertible arbitrage), a futures contract (index arbitrage) or an option contract (volatility arbitrage). Because of the idiosyncratic nature of these investors, the fundamentals of their portfolios are not indicative of their investment styles. Thomson Reuters categorizes these portfolios based on its specific knowledge of the their historical investment behavior.
International - This style refers to those money managers investing the majority of their equity assets in stocks of companies domiciled outside of North America. In most cases, the North American portion of the portfolio is either too small or does not exist, precluding Thomson Reuters from determining an accurate investment style based on the fundamentals of these companies. For "Global" investors which have more significant North American holdings, a specific style may be given which will apply primarily to the North American portion of the portfolio.
Sector Specific investors have the majority of their assets in a single major industry category. Many times these investors are "forced" to own most if not all of the stocks in a given sector whether or not they are deemed appropriately valued. Since their portfolio exposure is linked to a single sector, their performance is usually measured against an index that is pertinent only to that industry. As such, tweaking the relative exposure to the companies that constitute a given sector will determine these firm's investment decisions.
Specialty - This category encompasses a range of styles that are not based on the financial fundamentals of the stocks in the portfolio relative to the overall market. Examples include investors that hold a particularly high concentration of a single stock or a very small set of stocks, or specialize in convertible securities. This category is also reserved for any institution or mutual fund that does not meet the criteria for any of the other investment styles. Thomson Reuters categorizes these portfolios based on its specific knowledge of their historical investment behavior.
Venture Capital and Private Equity investors are usually owners of public companies only when they have participated in a round of financing prior to an IPO and subsequently retained ownership after the transition from a private company to a public company. Other investors often consider positions held by venture capitalists as an "overhang" on the stock of a publicly traded company since VCs will typically dispose of their holdings of public companies during the first few years following an IPO. | 2019-04-23T08:50:50Z | http://ir.allegiantair.com/node/5786 |

Plus, we take the data a step further by integrating your item catalog, shipping data, markdown information and other key files for a comprehensive reporting solution.

We have the knowledge and experience to work with all of your retailers like The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Sephora, Ulta and others.

When adding the challenges of selling in multiple retailers, with data coming through in multiple formats, such as EDI, Excel, and portal files, the data doesn’t always match and pulling it all together each week can be very frustrating and time consuming – forget having time to actually act on what the data is telling you! Add the need to track products with foreign language versions and cross reference retailer-specific SKUs, and you have an overwhelming amount of data to manage! That’s where we come in with the tools you need to win at retail.
Imagine it’s first thing Monday morning and your team needs the latest sales data.
JYou log in to the Accelerated Analytics portal, and in under 20 minutes you’re able to pull the reports and give everyone exactly what they need. You’ve e-mailed a scorecard of top-line business results across all of your retailers to the executives; you’ve sent SKU/store level reports of units and dollar sales, sell thru, and percent-to-plan data to the field sales teams; and your planners have already accessed the exception reports on their smart devices so they can address store-level sales and out-of-stocks with their buyers. You also gave them forecast and recommended order reports to make their day even easier. Boom!
You’re about to meet with a buyer from a key account.
Just before your meeting, you log in to the Accelerated Analytics portal to access historical data. Based on past sales, you’re able to easily predict inventory needs and suggest order quantities to the buyer. You have a promotion coming up, and you’re ready to monitor price points and the success of your promotion in this retailer versus their competitors.
You’re about to visit your stores.
You have all of the exception data you need – where you’re out of stock, where stock isn’t moving (better check for the box in a back room!) and more – and with Accelerated Analytics now you can take that information with you into the stores on your iPad. Instead of showing up at a store and walking the floor to see how your business is doing, or waiting for the manager to provide you with sales numbers, you have the information in hand and can address each store’s individual issues. Technology rocks!
It’s Monday morning and your company just launched the Accelerated Analytics tool last week.
You arrive at work, and unlike every previous Monday, you don’t have to spend hours collecting data from your retailers, calling retailers to find late data, or logging into portals to manually pull information. Are you in an alternate dimension? Nope. Your reporting solution with Accelerated Analytics is simply in production! The data that your team relies on has already been collected and harmonized by Accelerated Analytics, and the reports have been automatically distributed to your end users. Your voicemail isn’t full of messages from the sales and field teams asking where their reports are, because they already have them, and can focus on hitting their sales goals and filling inventory gaps. If there’s something else they need, they now have the tools to research the information themselves.
Across your organization, everyone is looking at the same reports and is on the same page. You’ve eliminated a major drain on your resources, and the ROI is already being felt throughout the company. You grab a cup of coffee and start working on a new technology initiative that’s been on the back-burner for months. It’s going to be a productive week!
The best way to see what we can do for you is a quick, one-on-one call with one of our experts. Together, we’ll identify your specific needs and how our tools can help you dominate your market, collaborate more effectively, save time, money and man-hours, and increase your ROI. Our tools are a game-changer in your mission to quell the competition. | 2019-04-22T02:08:53Z | https://www.acceleratedanalytics.com/learn-more/ |

I very rarely know what I am going to have presented to me when I go out to photograph a landscape. I know what I would like but we don’t always get what we want.

Hundreds of meetings with Kenyans from all walks of life revealed that, every region and individual in Kenya carries with them a burden of injustice perpetrated on them either individually or collectively.
The travels also found compelling commonalities too: Women have borne the bulk of the burden, holding together communities after the widespread post-election violence in 2007/8. Kenyans expressed doubt that their Government in its capacity was capable of providing security to all citizens regardless of their ethnicity.
Kenyans’ perceptions of economic inequality have been ethnicized and politicized. Among the youth, who comprise the vast majority of the Nation’s population, a sense of alienation and a feeling of hopelessness consume many. Interestingly, the post-election violence was a moment of empowerment for them in realising that they bear the solutions.
There is a general national sense of foreboding and uncertainty about the future. Kenyans need to rise up together to take charge of their own destiny. It is only us who can collectively create the space into which new leadership, which embraces respect and inclusiveness for all, can emerge and flourish.
Mentor potential young leaders into impactful transformative community leaders.
Through all this, Ni Sisi! will also be nurturing a unifying sense of Kenyan-ness across the country. | 2019-04-25T04:51:27Z | http://www.nisisikenya.com/who-we-are/our-philosophy |

Sue has made so much progress! She has mastered the art of eating only while sitting down. Once in a while, she legitimately forgets but she never says to herself, “Oh, I don’t feel like sitting down to eat this.” She is now convinced that this positive eating habit is essential to her success.
She has also mastered the art of eating moderate portions, even of junk food. When she goes to the movies, for example, she plans in advance to allow enough calories to have some popcorn and candy. Unlike most dieters, she doesn’t have to throw away the extra food before she goes to her seat. She’s able to eat the amount she had planned and then stop, even though there’s more left. Occasionally she feels disappointed when her food is gone, so we discussed the importance of telling herself, “It’s okay to feel disappointed. This feeling won’t last.” As soon as she starts to concentrate on the movie (or on another activity at home or at work), the disappointment vanishes and she notes that she is always glad later that she didn’t overeat.
And finally, Sue has begun to accept that daily fluctuations in her weight are normal and part of the weight loss process. She continues to lose weight and feels so much better when she looks in the mirror—she’s adding this to her list of advantages of losing weight.
I’ve been bombarded with questions about how my new book, The Complete Beck Diet for Life, is different from my first diet book, which did not contain a diet (eating plan) but did contain a six-week program to teach people how to diet. Most obvious is that the new book has a healthy eating plan that is flexible and enjoyable so people can modify it and stay on it for life.
Why did I include a diet? After publication of the first book, I received a couple of thousand emails and read a couple of thousand postings from online support communities who were following the program. I found that a cognitive behavioral approach just wasn’t enough. Although I urged people to find a healthy, well-balanced, nutritious diet, I found that people weren’t following that advice. They were choosing fad diets, unbalanced diets, diets that didn’t include their favorite foods, diets that allowed them to skip breakfast, diets that incorporated way too many carbs (and not enough foods to satiate their hunger), diets that were unnecessarily restrictive in choices or provided too few calories. Inevitably, dieters would stray from their eating plan, gain weight, get discouraged, and give up—then, after a few days or months, would try again with another inadvisable diet, and the cycle continued.
I also found out that many dieters should ease into making changes in their food intake, for example, changing just one meal at a time. They need to be guided in modifying a basic eating plan so it suits their tastes and lifestyles. They need to learn how to handle challenging eating situations where they don’t have control over the food that’s available or where others are pushing food on them. They especially need to learn exactly what to do when it’s not time to eat but they’re experiencing hunger, cravings, or want to soothe their distress with food.
In short, to be successful, dieters needed a complete program for weight loss, that incorporates a psychological approach (e.g., what to do when you’re feeling discouraged, disappointed, or deprived), dieting skills, an enjoyable eating plan, and techniques for keeping motivated for life. Most people think that just following a diet will be enough. I had previously thought that just learning essential skills was enough. But now it’s apparent—you need both. | 2019-04-25T00:01:52Z | http://diet.beckinstitute.org/tag/success/ |

Well, some may decide to put the S- and Z-shapes together since they are mirror images of each other. But I won’t. It’s easy to rotate a piece of paper with a triangulation on it; it’s not nearly as easy to fetch a mirror and study triangulations through it. So let it be recorded that the cyclic group acts on triangulations by rotating the hexagon. The orbits have lengths 6,3,3,2.
The fact that we get a polynomial can be explained: since the Catalan number is an integer, every prime divisor of the denominator in (*) also appears in the numerator (to equal or higher power), and this can be translated into the order of vanishing of polynomials in (**) at the roots of unity. It’s not as easy to explain why the coefficients end up nonnegative.
And it’s not just triangulations. Consider noncrossing matchings of 2n points — these can be observed experimentally by sitting 2n people at a round table and asking them all to shake hands with someone with no arms crossing.
And it’s not just the Catalan numbers. Suppose that among those 8 guests at the round table are 2 men and 6 women. The number of seating arrangements is . Don’t evaluate to 28 just yet. Replace each integer with its q-analog and you’ll get the polynomial , which will tell you that under rotation, 4 arrangements form an orbit of size 4, while the other 24 form 3 orbits of size 8.
And there is much more. The cyclic sieving phenomenon was established recently (in 2004) by three mathematicians from Minnesota (Reiner, Stanton, and White), and there are still paths waiting to be explored.
I am totally digging this post-colloq seminar-style roundup blogpost series. | 2019-04-20T17:10:06Z | https://calculus7.org/2012/01/25/the-magic-of-cyclic-sieving-and-q-analogs/ |
PI and our global partners have been at the forefront of challenging communications data retention for over a decade.
Communications data, also known as metadata, tells the story about your data and answers the who, when, what, and how of a specific communication and activity. Companies are supposed to delete this data when it is no longer necessary, because it can be highly revelatory about people, their habits, thoughts, health and personal relationships. Governments worldwide seek to oblige companies to retain this communications data so that they can get access at some point in the future.
In a context where the gathering and exploitation of data by private companies becomes increasingly privacy intrusive and widespread, data retention poses risks to individual privacy and data security. The data opens the door for governments and third parties to make intimate inferences about individuals, and to engage in profiling.
Many of the laws introduced by governments demand indiscriminate and mass retention of data, beyond what is admissible under applicable international human rights standards. In turn, these laws result in the indiscriminate creation of vast dossiers of information on everyone’s activities, including location data and communications with friends, families and work colleagues. There are alternative methods of surveillance that are less disproportionate, for example, requiring a court order to allow operators to retain data related to a specific individual suspected of criminal activity.
Privacy International has been at the forefront of challenging data retention. We have been tracking the spread of these laws, raising awareness about the risks of metadata surveillance, and campaigning against their adoption.
Given its international influence, and the fact that the US has to date refrained from placing data retention obligations on communications service providers, much of the battleground on data retention has been in Europe. By the early 2000s, some EU member states had enacted national data retention laws, and were pushing for mandatory data retention regulations across the entirety of the EU.
In 2003, a draft Framework Decision on data retention under discussion by EU Justice and Home Affairs Ministers sought to oblige Member States to require communications providers to retain for up to two years. In response, PI published a legal memorandum reviewing the proposal, critically analysing existing retention laws in Member States, and argued that these retention policies were not in accordance with law, were not necessary in a democratic society, and therefore violated the right to privacy as protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.
We built coalitions, drafted joint letters, and repeatedly gave evidence at various Parliaments. For a while we were successful in pushing back against repeated attempts to create a legal regime across Europe. Following the terrorist attacks in London in July 2005, the European Parliament, under the UK Presidency of the EC, decided to approve the Data Retention Directive.
Despite the decision however, some EU member states continued to mandate data retention provisions, with the UK parliament rushing through the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA), to intense criticism from legal and technical experts. As a result, DRIPA was challenged in court through judicial review by two Members of the UK Parliament, Tom Watson and David Davis. Intervening in the UK High Court, we argued that data retention was in itself unlawful, and reform couldn't be limited to just creating a system of safeguards required around government access to retained data. The case was referred all the way up to the Courts of Justice of the EU (CJEU), whose job it is to rule on the application of EU law across the Union.
Courts have recognised that blanket data retention obligations represent a violation of the right to privacy and data protection law.
In December 2016, the European Court of Justice reaffirmed the 2014 ruling against data retention and expanded upon it, ruling that “general and indiscriminate retention” of data was in fact prohibited, that retention and any access to the data must be strictly necessary for the purpose of fighting serious crime, and that access to the retained data by the Government must be subject to prior review by a court or independent authority.
The decision has far-reaching implications. While the judgment was not specific about other surveillance powers, it also implicated other surveillance laws, such as those contained within the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act. The judgment raised significant questions about whether vast swathes of the new laws should now be repealed.
Governments play a long game. This was a 17 year battle. We thought we had achieved victory after victory only to for our victories to be undermined by governments. If we were winning at the national level, governments would seize on terrorist attacks. If we pushed back successfully, they would move forums.
Even if you win in court, governments may choose to ignore the decision. While European telecommunications companies such as Telia announced that they stopped retaining specific data, it remained unclear how different EU member states interpreted or acted upon the Court's decisions.
In 2017 we ran a survey of 21 EU member states data retention practices in consultation with industry and other NGOs, assessing their legislation and jurisprudence with regard to data retention. We found that while some countries, such as the Netherlands and Slovakia, had repealed national legislation on retention, no country surveyed was in compliance with the 2016 European Court ruling, and in many states their legislation is not even in compliance with the 2014 ruling in favour of Digital Rights Ireland against the Data Retention Directive.
The fight against unlawful data retention is one of the most long-running and important privacy issues in the modern era, involving stakeholders from across government, the courts, industry, and civil society. Above all, it shows how collaborative and coordinated campaigning can achieve results for the protection of privacy on a highly contentious and murky issue.
Now the challenge becomes about ensuring respect for the rule of law in an era when human rights legislation is coming under increasing attack. To challenge this, it is essential to continue to research and expose data retention practices, to raise awareness about the fundamental threat they pose for everyone’s freedom and security, and to challenge them through the courts and in parliaments. Ultimately, it is only through public attention and pressure that this crucial right will be protected and respected. As we move into a world where our data affects every aspect of our lives and will increasingly do so in ways we don’t yet know, this fight is more crucial than ever.
We are now working to ensure that countries reform their legislation and come into compliance with Court rulings. We are pushing for states to review and amend their legislation to comply with European standards, including the CJEU jurisprudence, for telecommunications and other companies subject to data retention obligations to challenge existing data retention legislation which are not compliant with European standards, and for the European Commission to provide guidance on reviewing national data retention laws to ensure its conformity with fundamental rights.
In the UK, following the 2016 judgement, the case has been remitted back to the UK Court of Appeal. A hearing has not yet taken place. The government stated that “...in light of the CJEU judgment, and in order to bring an end to the litigation, the Government have accepted to the Court of Appeal that the (DRIPA) was inconsistent with EU law in two areas.” However, until a hearing takes place, the details of what the Government is prepared to accept, the response to this from the Claimants’ and ultimately what results from the CJEU’s ruling is unknown. We will be working hard to ensure that the rule of law is respected, and that the Government act upon the Court’s judgements. | 2019-04-19T23:00:48Z | https://privacyinternational.org/impact/communications-data-surveillance-restrained |

Beyond Ergo goes beyond the accepted ideas of office ergonomics training because the modern office workplace is too complex for the traditional office ergonomics checklist and occasional workstation assessments.
New open plan offices, activity-based or hot-desking options, sit-stand workstations, telecommuting, multiple screens (including personal phones), and new health risks associated with sedentary work have created an extremely complex and dynamic problem for workplace health and safety programs.
However, Beyond Ergo has combined the latest ergonomics and wellness research to create a unique, multidisciplinary and interactive training program that builds the new self-care competencies employees need to make educated health, safety and wellness decisions. These are decisions on small adjustments that may change hour by hour to allow for variations in work, work location, furniture and equipment, and even their health on the day.
This training combines the strengths of participative ergonomics, vocational education and training, and wellness strategies to build an individual’s knowledge and self-care skills to manage the immediate work environment, workstation ergonomics and healthy work behaviours.
The program also ensures training transfer and encourages ownership of personal health, safety and wellness. Beyond Ergo endeavours to reinforce the belief that risk factors leading to discomfort and injury can be eliminated or at least managed and each trainee can protect themselves from injury now and in the future.
Founded by Dr Elizabeth Kirk (PhD) in late 2014, the company was initially called Practical Ergonomics but was renamed in February 2018 to highlight the need for holistic, multidisciplinary skill-based training. Training that enables trainees to quickly apply and personalise all the latest recommendations using multiple screens and wherever they choose to work.
Elizabeth is one of Australia’s leading researchers and trainers in behaviour-based office ergonomics and injury prevention, with a special interest in call centres.
Elizabeth started her career with a degree in human movement, before moving into experiential learning, and training and development.
Working as an in-house trainer and contact centre agent with a major Brisbane call centre ignited her passion for exploring why existing office ergonomic interventions were not delivering results.
Her ground-breaking office ergonomics research resulted in her receiving the Dean’s Award in 2013 at The University of Queensland.
Elizabeth delivers her evidence-based office ergonomics training to call centres, government agencies, solopreneurs and businesses across Australia.
