The church's credit card bill arrives and you look at it with dread. It has so many charges on it, and you only have five receipts in the folder. You know you'll have to pester and pursue to get the information you need from the staff—especially Pastor Doe, who never turns in information on time and often "forgets" that he has personal charges on the card as well.
Sound familiar? Some people believe accounting puts too many requirements on ministry, and that can also be the case with corporate credit cards. In most cases, though, these aren't just random rules designed to make life difficult. Credit cards can be a helpful tool for the church staff, but they must be used properly and substantiation must be provided on time.
Sometimes staff members don't have enough personal financial credit to use their own credit cards for significant purchases, and they want to use a corporate card. But church leadership, not the staff, should determine whether the church will use corporate credit cards and who will receive one. You also need to establish policies for how individual reporting will be monitored.The executive pastor or business administration team is typically responsible for ensuring that the church is compliant with tax and legal issues.
The required documentation should be very similar to what is expected for personal expense reimbursements. Simply keeping the credit card statement is not enough substantiation. Card users should provide receipts and an explanation of the ministry purpose. If the expense was for a meal, the explanation should include the names of the individuals present.
One concern with corporate credit cards is that the church is required to pay the bill on time, whether it has received all the information it needs from staff members or not. This removes responsibility from the individual and doesn't provide as much incentive to be compliant. If your church uses corporate credit cards, you will need to consistently enforce your policies for obtaining supporting information. Many churches will even revoke credit cards for individuals who do not comply. This may be the only recourse a church has for staff members who consistently fail to provide the necessary information.
And just as you would have a superior approve an individual's expense reimbursement, each expense on the credit card statement needs to be reviewed and approved by a supervisor. This protects both the church and the individual. If an employee, such as the senior pastor, does not have an immediate supervisor, someone on the governing board should periodically review this information.
You may run into cases of individuals making a personal purchase on the church credit card. This should be a very rare, unintentional occurrence. People certainly make honest mistakes and may grab the wrong card from their wallet. If it is an ongoing issue, however, you may want to consider removing credit card privileges for that person. Even if the amount is paid back, it adds an extra layer of recordkeeping and the individual benefits from the church's credit until it is repaid. There is also a risk of the charge being missed and the individual not paying it back. Among other issues, this would create a taxable situation because the employee in essence received compensation.
If your church currently does not use a corporate credit card, consider the following:
- Do we really need one? Why?
- What policies do we need to have in place?
- Who will help enforce the policies so they are taken seriously?
If your church is having difficulties with your corporate credit card, consider these ideas:
- Reinforce the existing policies through email or in a staff meeting.
- Discuss concerns with leadership or the finance committee.
- Consider revoking access for problematic individuals.
Like any tool, a corporate credit card is only useful if it is used properly. Improper use of a church credit card can lead to frustration, inappropriate expenditures, and possibly even finance charges that wouldn't have otherwise been incurred. With the right considerations and polices in place, maybe you won't cringe the next time the bill arrives in the church office!

Coming up with viable solutions for the millions of people around the globe who lack access to clean drinking water has been a fixation of western do-gooders for decades, and the LIFESAVER Jerrycan is the latest product to hit the market. The bright yellow Jerrycan is equipped with a built-in filtration system that eliminates both bacteria and viruses present in contaminated water. The LIFESAVER can process about five gallons of water at a time and it's a great tool for campers and the developing world.
Gizmag reports that the LIFESAVER Jerrycan eliminates 99.999995 percent of bacteria and 99.999 percent of viruses is contaminated water, making it a fantastic solution for people who live in areas that lack decent water treatment facilities. But its size is what sets this apart from other water purification devices that typically provide only enough water for drinking.
The LIFESAVER also comes with an optional shower attachment, allowing users to purify water for cleaning themselves as well. There are two water filters available to purchase: one that processes up to 2,641 gallons and another that can clean up to 5,283 gallons of water in its lifespan, which, as Gizmag notes, equates to using the jerrycan 540 or 1,080 times. When the filter is about to expire, it gets harder to pump water, and when it is completely expired, it actually stops pumping water altogether, alerting its owner that it's time to get a new one.
Trouble is, the costs are way too high for the developing world. People who barely have enough money to buy tomatoes and onions at the market won't be able to shell out $260 for this water purification device, or $468 for the family pack. Getting aid organizations or governments to purchase the LIFESAVER Jerrycan is the only way this product will achieve worldwide distribution.

Names: Pete Rose, Charlie Hustle
Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Position: First base
Value of card: Over/under 75 cents
Key 1983 stat: Zero haircuts
A peek into the mind of a legend: The staff psychic here at Baseball Card Bust is at times able to determine the thoughts going through the minds of our subjects. Here's what Pete Rose was thinking at this moment in 1983: "That $3,000 on the Orioles at 15-to-1 this year is looking pretty solid. ... Remember when I nearly killed that bum Ray Fosse at the All-Star Game? That was awesome. ... I think it might be time to switch shampoos. ... If Rick Rhoden comes in tight on me one more time, I'm gonna bust his jaw so hard he'll be spittin' teeth for a week. ... What was that broad's name at the strip club the other night? Candy? Sandy? Mandy? Crap, I think she stole my pager. ... These Jockeys are a little tight. ... Screw Philly, I'm going into the Hall of Fame as a Red."

Modern Loft in Portland Embedding Multiple Lifestyles
One of Steve Dangermond and Christopher Keane's residential projects is a spectacular loft in Portland, Oregon. Displaying a refined take on space planning, this bright and welcoming loft in Portland surprises the viewer with a modern solution for space partitioning. Beautifully addressed, the intimacy theme within an inter-generational apartment steals the show with a highly creative solution.
We've seen our fair share of customization over the 8 years Freshome has been around, but this project is simply stunning in its essence of connecting yet separating lifestyles.
Spreading over 111 square meters, this inter-generational loft photographed by Lincoln Barbour is a dream setting for social times, as well as the perfect place to enjoy a little privacy. Dangermond Keane Architecture broadens our understanding of this home's design and function:
"Built for a family of three generations, this renovation connects a much needed 1200 sf of new living space to an existing loft via a small elevator. The new level contains two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a library/office space, a loft for storage and play and a small kitchen. Designed primarily for a young girl and her grandmother, the project expands their individual living space and relocates them a floor below the main living area. Playful yet refined, the design seeks to meet each of their individual needs while maintaining the intimacy of their relationship."
This "room in a box" opens to the main living area via large sliding doors turning this modern loft in Portland into a dream apartment to share with family.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding taking place right now in the customer experience field. Companies of virtually all sizes and industries are ignoring a growing body of scientific evidence showing what customers actually care about.
When the son of Chris Hurn's forgot his favorite toy giraffe, Joshie, in their hotel room after a recent stay, he told his worried son that Joshie was just taking a few extra days of vacation. He then got on the phone with the Ritz Carlton and told them about the missing toy and the story he had told his son.
Before doing the obvious and returning the giraffe to its owner, the savvy staff at the Ritz, well known for their willingness to go above and beyond expectations decided to take a series of photographs that included all of the activities Joshie had been involved in during his "extended vacation." This was then complied into a booklet filled with artful content about Joshie's stay as well as a host of pictures showing what a good time he'd had.
The above is a great example of what to not focus your customer experience strategy on.
The graph below captures the core of the misunderstanding, namely the assumed relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. If you believe in this relationship it makes sense to pour time, energy and resources into trying to exceed customer expectations. After all this is assumed to lead to loyalty.
But it is not true. Data from CEB from over 97,000 customers, show that there is virtually no difference in loyalty between those whose expectations are exceeded and those whose expectations are simply met. So rather than a "hockey stick" effect where loyalty grows exponentially, loyalty actually levels out when expectations are met, as illustrated in the graph below.
This means that companies significantly undervalues the benefit of simply meeting expectations.
By the same token is also means that companies overestimate the loyalty from "wowing" their customers. In other words: All that hard work in aspiring to create a service that is is extraordinary, surprising, memorable and delightful, brings almost no financial return at all.
This may seem counterintuitive, but think about the example below from Nick Toman and Rick Delisi of CEB.
If you are like most people you have a much easier time answering the second question.
There is now several studies showing that customers care about effortless experiences, where you provide what you set out to do. No more. No less. And when things go awry, they just want you to fix it with the minimal amount of effort being invested from their side. A free cookie, a cheerful smile or even a personal relationship with someone at your company is not what they want.
So unless you are one of the few companies in the world that base strategy on truly delighting customers (Ritz Carlton, Zappos & Nordstrom might qualify here), the real opportunity is to find and reduce the friction your customers have in interacting and doing business with you. Not to drive loyalty, but to mitigate disloyalty.
This might sound boring or pessimistic, but here is the thing: this is a HUGE opportunity, because customers invariably report broken journeys, where for one reason or another they are unable to succeed in what they set out to do when they came to you.
As marketers and merchandisers, we always want to track positive performance metrics and conversions. But if you accept the overwhelming evidence that your main objective is not to delight, but to make it easy and work systematically to reduce friction, you will need to start measuring and obsessing about your main problems.
Digital customer experiences are relatively straightforward to measure and you are probably already sitting on a good chunk of data showing you where you main bottlenecks are and where your visitors drop off. Below is a simple example to illustrate this:
But being "problem-oriented" in the quest for loyalty, also entails identifying and measuring less obvious friction.
Another major annoyance that was highlighted in the CEB research referred to customers being forced to switch channels. Let's say Jasper hits your website with hopes of resolving a support issue, but doesn't manage to find a solution. Now, even if the call center subsequently is able to solve Jaspers's issue quickly, perhaps even exceeding his expecations, Jasper will still be grumpy and disloyal since you made him switch channel in the first place. Think about the implications of that, next time you consider the KPIs of your support organization.
So stop trying to be cute and aspiring to delight; it's time to get to work on how you can get out of the way of your customers. Disloyalty will prevail amongst those to those who don't.

Former WAG Danielle Lloyd lifts the lid on Cheryl's pregnancy and reveals a family is 'all she's ever wanted for a very long time'
Jamie O'Hara's ex wife and proud mum-of-three gave the gossip about her pal's journey to motherhood
FORMER WAG Danielle Lloyd has gushed over pal Cheryl's pregnancy and revealed the popstar had craved a baby "for a long time."
The beauties were close mates on the sporting wives circuit when Danielle was married to Celebrity Big Brother star Jamie O'Hara and Chez was loved up with her first husband Ashley Cole.
Danielle - who has three sons with ex Jamie - is now pregnant with her first child with fiance Michael O'Neill has lifted the lid on her friend's much awaited journey to motherhood with new man Liam Payne and said in her OK! magazine column: "I'm so pleased that Cheryl's actually finally revealed her baby bump, it was well documented that she was pregnant, it was obvious, but I'm just so pleased for her because I think that's all she wanted for a really long time, to sort of have a family and settle down.
"She's just such lovely girl, I'm glad she's found someone."
Liverpudlian lass Danielle added: "She's going to have a little baby! I wonder what she'll have?"
Meanwhile Danielle has been showing off her baby bump in a series of shots on social media and revealed she has taken up aqua aerobics to tone up.
Cheryl and 1D star Liam have never officially confirmed their pregnancy but The Sun's Dan Wootton's Bizarre column exclusively revealed that the baby's 'due date is in March'.
Girls Aloud star Cheryl proudly revealed her baby bump for the first time in a L'Oreal campaign filmed in January when she was eight months pregnant.
Cheryl posed alongside the likes of Helen Mirren and TV presenter AJ Odudu as part of the "All Worth It" confidence training programme, in association with The Prince's Trust charity.
The images from that shoot were finally released on February 23 and show the proud mum-to-be in a skin-tight black dress cradling her eight-month bump.
Meanwhile their supporters have started to speculate the former X Factor judge has actually given birth.
Fans have begun wondering for weeks if singer Cheryl may have secretly already given birth, and there's been plenty of clues fuelling the fire.
Liam shared a cryptic tweet today revealing he's having to remain quiet in the mornings which sparked claims from social media users that he may be a father already.
He wrote: "Why do I always do the strangest walk when I'm trying to be quiet in a morning."
One fan commented: "Who are u trying not to wake up this morning."
While another added: "When are u gonna say something about the fact that u are having a child."

The Bloomington Early Music Festival has been presenting outstanding performers and concerts for nearly two decades. It was originally founded in the early 1990s by a handful of students from the Early Music Institute at Indiana University. In the intervening years, the festival has gained national standing as a series for enthusiastic audiences to enjoy innovative programming of music from the Middle Ages through the early Romantic era, and beyond.
Also known by the acronym BLEMF, its mission is to provide a platform that presents both established performers and up-and-coming artists.
Shuann Chai
The 2009 festival was no different in that regard. One performer who returned for a second time was Shuann Chai, a young American fortepianist who played a Beethoven concerto with the BLEMF orchestra and gave a recital of music by Schubert, Beethoven, and Czerny, as well as Franz Liszt who transcribed a famous work by Beethoven for piano—An die Ferne Geliebte ("To the Distant Beloved").
Not a single year goes by without a concert of medieval music at the festival. This year, Hesperus presented a program entitled 'Ecco la primavera': 14th and 15th century music from court and countryside. Performers Tina Chancey, Grant Herreid, Johana Arnold, and Tom Zajac celebrated love and springtime as inspired by Petrarch and Boccaccio. They all took individual turns singing and performing on a multitude of winds, strings, and percussion.
The program was dedicated to Hesperus' musical ancestors known as jongleurs, who were journeymen musicians that traveled around Western Europe between the 12th and 15th Centuries. The jongleurs musical abilities and lifestyle have been the subject of tales since their time.
The ensemble L'AURA presented a concert of music from 17th-century Spain and Latin America. Entitled 'Por Selebrar' ("To Celebrate"), the program centered on villancicos and solo songs heard in the cathedral cities of Madrid, Mexico City, and Bogotá, Colombia. Instrumental arrangements of Spanish harp pieces from the period rounded out the performance.
Chatham Baroque
The American trio Chatham Baroque is one of the more well-established ensembles in North America. Their festival program featured music of German baroque composers, including famous names such as J.S. Bach and Dieterich Buxtehude. Chatham Baroque's concert also presented composers that you might not have heard of. Philipp Heinrich Erlebach is one such person on the program whose music has been making a resurgence over the past decade. His violin sonatas, in particular, have quietly become favorites of many baroque violinists.
The new release this week features the Aulos Ensemble on the Centaur label. A quartet made up of violin, flute, cello, and harpsichord, the group's program centers on arrangements by Jean-Phillipe Rameau of suites from two of his operas—Les fêtes d'Hebé and Les Indes galantes.

It was an unusually warm day in the very cold spring we had been having. I waited at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal and surrounding areas to bring Courtney on an adventure that spoke of my history and also delighted my sense of kitsch. By the time we had met up, enough time had passed that the sun had set and the alluring light that would shine through those fogged plastic ferry windows I had hoped to catch were gone, so we had to reconfigure our plans. Now in the night, I followed Courtney north to neighborhoods I don't spend much time in in a borough I don't often visit to explore dark streets with pockets of artificial light spilling through alleys and windows of closed shops. Following Courtney, or anyone, becomes an automatic adventure in being led to places other than those you know, so with that change of plans came an expedition into the pink light of Chinatown and a Union Square rooftop.
Courtney is also a photographer, you can see her work on instagram.

Libertarian PartyEdit
The Libertarian Party has always been present in one form or another in the United States, but it did not become a serious political force until after the Republican Party collapsed after NeoConGate. The Libertarians are extreme fiscal conservatives, and have never voted yes on a single spending bill, excluding relief efforts during times of crisis. The Party is also much more protective of individual liberty than its Republican cousins, and were staunchly behind the destruction of the DHS. Currently the leader of the party is former Treasury Secretary Ron Paul, who dissented from the Edwards choice of Senator Obama for fear of creating a socialist state. Ron Paul is currently the Minority Leader of the House, and has stated that he will not run again in 2012.
While not actually a political party, the Independents have become the dominating force in American politics. Well over 75% of the country professes to be Independent voters, and both houses of Congress are controlled by Independents. While they have no official collective stance on any issues, most Independents are strong constitutionalists with socially liberal views who are considerably more fiscally liberal than the Libertarians. With no National Convention, the Independent candidate, who is chosen by a year long online voting process, where anyone eligible to run for president can do so, give speeches and are voted on routinely. The bottom half of the candidates who received the least votes are disqualified and the process continues dividing the candidates until there is but one left. The only independent not to be nominated this way was the system's inventor, President Edwards. Independents are also unique in that it is much easier for one independent to challenge the sitting president for office. They are elected in primaries by popular vote, and there are no super delegates. Currently there are thirty members of the House and Senate who were elected as Independents who were chosen by the online primaries, and were below the upper class level, and had never been politicians beforehand.
Populist PartyEdit
The Populist Party is made up of moderate Republicans, and Blue Dog Democrats under the leadership of Senator Evan Bayh. The Party was formed in March of 2009 when it became clear that the Democrat and Republican parties were not going to survive the 2010 midterms. Most of the more liberal members of both parties had left for either the Libertarian or Independent camps, and the conservatives of both of the old parties were left with almost no political power. Senator Bayh, leader of the Blue Dog Democrats, met in 2008 with conservative leaders to build a new center-right party. The party has come under fire by many for its almost rampant corruption from lobbyists, and its opposition to almost all of President Edwards programs when they were two parties, and their opposition to popular President Obama's policies.
Democratic PartyEdit
The Democratic Party is one of four major political parties in the United States, and is the oldest political party in the United States and among the oldest in the world, though it has lost much of its influence in recent years. The Democratic Party traces its origins to the Democratic-Republican Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other influential Anti-Federalists in 1792. Since the division of the Republican Party in the election of 1912, it has consistently leaned to the left on economic and social issues. Since 1932 the Roosevelt New Deal coalition usually controlled the national government until the 1970s, and the civil rights movement has continued to inspire the party's principles, despite having lost the more conservative Bible Belt in the process. In 2004 the Democrats have been reduced to Minority status in both houses of Congress, only twenty seats higher than the Republicans as of 2008, and it is expected that they will likely disband, or reform before they lose all of their support to the Independents and Libertarians. Recent talks with the Republicans have moved towards the creation of a single Populist Party. This new political entity would be for a strong central government that acts specifically with public opinion and approval. The 2012 Populist ticket would include John Edwards for President and Alaskan governor, and former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin for VP.
Republican PartyEdit
Once one of the two dominant parties in American politics, the Republican Party's base of support has dwindled to only the most right wing Christian Conservatives, having lost their fiscal conservatives to the Libertarian Party. Currently there are only twenty Republicans left in the House of Representatives, and only 6 in the Senate. There are no Republican Governors in the US, excluding the Governor of Alaska. As far as reforms are concerned some in the party are beginning to propose a rebirth of the Democrat-Republicans. This reasoning comes primarily as a desire to maintain some form of power, but also at the obvious fact that the Democrats have now been whittled down to a party dominated by advocates for larger government control. Finally accepting that as their actual stance, the RNC leaders are now in talks with the DNC on forming a unity ticket in 2012. Most likely with Howard Dean for president and Sarah Palin for VP. The hope is to appear centrist and capture the votes that the Independents and Libertarians have split.

Bee populations are declining—some bee populations, that is. The bumble bee, known for pollinating one-third of the continent's plants and keeping farm crops alive, is said to be endangered and in need of protection. Because of its benefits in nature, bumble bees are a stinging insect that humans should not consider a pest. So, is the bumble bee endangered or are many of us panicking for nothing? Read on to find out whether or not bumble bees are an endangered species.
The Truth About Bumble Bees
On March 21, 2017, theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officially added a bumble bee species known as the rusty patched bumblebee (Bombus affinis) to the endangered species list. This is the first time a bee in the continental United States has been listed as endangered. In September of this year, seven species of Hawaiian bee were added to the endangered list.
Why are Populations Dwindling?
The rusty patched bumble bee was once a common insect in North America, but its population has fallen approximately 90% since the 1990s. Scientists cite the following circumstances as the cause for the drop in its numbers:
- A loss of habitat
- An increase in pesticide use
- An increase of household herbicides
- The effects of climate change
- An increase in disease and parasites
What Happens Now?
As a result of getting its name on the endangered species list, the effort to save the rusty patched bumble bee is underway. First, it raises awareness about the species' plight. More importantly, though, the Endangered Species Act puts regulations in place that restrict certain activities to prevent more bees from being knowingly harmed. Additionally, the government is now obligated to put a recovery plan in action designed to prevent extinction.
Green Pest Solutions, when treating a home for bumble bees makes a point to never harm them, but rather move them to a new, safe location.

The poverty excuse is only valid for so long and it won't ever get you far. Complain to me about not having any money or being disadvantaged and I'm just going to say, "Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?"
You can take comfort in the slums, in the sadness, and in the excuses, or you can make MOVES.
And don't expect anyone else to do it for you, either. We've all got our own cards to deal with. Handle your own.
There are no handouts in life. No golden tickets. No pity advances. Your choices define where you'll go, and how far you'll go.
This world is tough. It's cruel. It's cold, man. You don't get a lot of choices, you don't always get a say, but you can choose how you come up in it.
You can't control where you start out,
but you can control where you end up.
Status is temporary. Income class is temporary. If you die in the same tax bracket you were born into, shame on you for not advancing.
At the end of the game, if you have those same loser cards in front of you, there's no one to blame but yourself.
Take charge and be the dealer of your own fate.

I have a confession to make. It's very serious, potentially life threatening (ok, maybe only financially threatening), and very hard to admit to.
There, I said it. I buy ebooks. All the time. A furtive browse on amazon quickly slides into a iniquitous book binge. I get the shakes, sweaty palms, an overriding fear of being found out and then...that thrill of owning a new book. I hide it away in my (obsessively) categorised kindle, hoping that anyone who cares to have a peek will get lost in my many folders before discovering quite how many ebooks I own. And then I carry on with my day, forgetting after a while that I've bought new books. Until that dreaded email - 'thank you for ordering with amazon'. Duh, duh, duhhhhhhhhhh.
Now, aside from my penchant to overly dramatise everything, I can't be the only person who buys ebooks on a whim. Just because they're cheap, or you really want it but it's only out in hardback, or perhaps it's not a shelf-space worthy book, or maybe it's a book that you're a tad embarrassed to own in physical form. I've used all these justifications (excuses) at one time or another. My current go-to excuse is 'it's for holiday reading'. Yes, I'm already collecting ebooks for my holiday in August and have been since January. I think there are more 'holiday' ebooks on my kindle now than I could possibly read in a week. But then (ever sneaky) my brain will convince me that I need choice on this holiday. Why only take 10 ebooks when I could have a whole library of choice. Never mind that half of them will languish on those metaphorical shelves until I reach kindle capacity and realise that I've spent a small fortune on 'cheap' books that I'll 'get to eventually' but eventually never came.
So when I announce on twitter or smugly tell my Mum that I've not bought books in forever, then perhaps give me a nudge and remind me that ebooks count too, no matter how hard I try to convince myself that they don't.
In the spirit of candour, I'm going to list below the ebooks I have purchased from amazon in the last few weeks. Don't judge me too harshly.

One of the most feared insect intruders is Bed bugs. They bite and actually feed on your blood, they spread fast and they are extremely hard to get rid of. They usually start in and around mattresses, couches and chairs and quickly spread throughout the house. During vacation season, travelers should be extremely conscientious to inspect all clothing and luggage for unwanted hitchhikers. A thorough inspection, eradication and follow up services are advised to completely rid your home of Bed bugs.

Waterway has access to:Dnepr-Bug-Canal / Muchavez / Canalised River Pina | Belrarus
Vistula (Wisla) River from Bromberg to Auschwitz | Poland
has its source in the western Ukraine and it is at first for 200 km the border between Poland and Ukraine and afterwards to Belarus. As from Terespol at Brest it is limitedly navigable. Theoretically it has a draught of 1.50 m but even that is not guaranteed in dry summers. The last 100 km before it flows into the Zegrze-See (Narew Zegrzynski) it meanders a lot and has dozens of side branches, one has therefore to take great care while navigating.
It used to be part of the waterway from the Oder to the Black Sea. Today UNESCO analyses the instauration of this gorgeous shipping route. Since this project would bring extensive works at the headwaters of the Bug, nature protection organisations are against it.Besides, the entire area is hardly populated and offers therefore practically no infrastructures. There are surely more churches then Restaurants. Towns and villages have no wharfs but the flat banks allow now and then a careful disembarkation.
In the evening the autumn woods resound With deadly weapons, the golden plains And blue lakes, the sun above ...
Georg Trakel.-
Country, nothing but country as far as the eye can see, you imagine you are at the end of the world. Together with the Bug-Dniepr Canal and the Dniepr, this waterway would in fact be Poland's link to the Black Sea if the locks in Bello-Russia were still operating...
Except the small Marinas at Zegrze-See (Narew Zegrzynski) and at the port of Brest, there is no wharf along the entire stretch.

Bariloche is one of the most preferred touristic destinations in Argentina, considered the main gateway to the Patagonia region but still keeping some of its original alpine village style.
The small town sits on the southern coast of the beautiful Nahuel Huapi lake at about 780 m a.s.l., surrounded by mountains and lakes that makes it a paradise for trekking and ski lovers in summer and winter seasons, respectively.
Although the weather may change suddenly at the Andes foot it is normally cool, stable and very colorful near autumn. As expected from its touristic character, the town offers a range of excursions and services that allow enjoying one of the most beautiful scenarios in the world.
Its gastronomy deserves a special attention too, as it displays delicious alternatives including argentine and european typical dishes and wines.

Consumers, mostly women, are still in the pursuit of easy weight loss solutions – and are still trying to believe that there is some sort of way that exists. However it should be known that, unfortunate as it may be, easy weight loss is an impossible thing. Weight loss is simply the process of burning more calories than are eaten over a period of time.
In order to attain weight loss, you need to be burning more calories than you are consuming, and so depending on how much and the type of foods that you eat, you need to incorporate an acceptable amount of physical activity. As well, it also depends primarily on your metabolism rate, as some people can burn their entire daily calorie intake simply from doing nothing at all, even just sitting down, while others cannot burn any calories even after working out for hours.
Trying for Easy Weight Loss
The best way to make for easy weight loss – or at least the easiest possible – is to make very small changes in your diet and exercise habits. Making small changes is what eventually makes for seemingly easy weight loss, as though you haven't truly done anything drastic, but still achieved a positive result anyway.
Some ways to make small changes are in regards to the examining of your daily eating habits. For example, if you tend to eat fast food a lot, cut that out of your diet, but still have it maybe once a month, say. This way you are making a positive change, but not an overly drastic one that you could never stick to.
Instead of benning Burger King altogether, for instance, you could also make small changes such as getting the Whopper Junior meal instead of the Double Whopper meal. Or, if you must have your Double Whopper, get it and leave the fries behind. Get a juice instead of a coke – or better yet, water. Or you could even substitute a sandwich for a salad.
These small changes will allow you to make an incredibly positive difference in your eating habits, but will be gradual, so that it will not be such a sudden and difficult change. Making the changes gradually will be even better at making weight loss easy.
The same principle applies to exercise. You should never start out by setting out to run a marathon, but rather go for a half-hour walk, then a power walk after 3 weeks of daily walks. Slowly, your power walk will evolve into speed walking, then jogging, and eventually running. These gradual changes are the only way to truly make for easy weight loss, and they are also the only way to make the changes habitual instead of a week's anomaly.

Business News of Monday, 27 August 2018
Source: Myjoyonline.com
Private legal practitioner Ace Annan Ankomah has said officials of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) breached banking regulations in the manner they dished out liquidity support to some distressed banks that later collapsed.
He enumerated several instances in which the Central Bank officials acted like "a bunch of robots" by breaching their own law to give liquidity support to a bank that was non-solvent.
The renowned lawyer, who has been critical of the banking sector following the collapse of seven indigenous banks, told Samson Lardy Anyenini on MultiTV/Joy FM's Newsfile programme on Saturday that it is high time complicit BoG staff are jailed.
"Somebody from the BOG should be heading to jail and somebody who took the money should also be heading to jail. But this was breached by the Central Bank and no one was sanctioned," he said.
His comments follow the collapse of seven indigenous banks since last year. First, it was UT Bank and Capital Bank which were close down in August 2017.
One year later, five banks [Sovereign Banks, Construction Bank, Beige Bank, Royal Bank and uniBank] were closed down by the regulator for various reasons leading to the creation of Consolidated Bank of Ghana Limited.
Some of the banks were reported to have used fraudulent measures to get their licenses while others had various insolvency issues.
According to reports, the banks misused the loans given to them by the Central Bank to save them from collapse.
Citing another breach by the Central Bank for supporting the collapsed banks with the taxpayer's money and not following due process, the legal practitioner said the BoG officials uncollateralised loans they advanced to the struggling banks.
"You cannot give it [liquidity support] without collateral which then means before giving out the money, you must look at the asset base of the entity to see whether it has enough in the event of a breach to cover what you gave them, but that was breached as well," he said.
According to him, BoG further failed to adhere to the agreement it signed with the troubled bank to provide them with an advisor to check wastage of the money loaned to them.
Mr Ankomah said the Central bank could not have breached its own laws in three instances with the excuse that it was a coincidence.
He believes the action by some officials of the BoG suggests that "a person is able to form a Bank in Ghana on nothing but air, cook commercial paper to get a license."
Following the closure of the five banks, government provided financial support through the issuance of a ¢5.76 billion bond towards the Purchase and Assumption Agreement under the newly created Consolidated Bank of Ghana Limited.
This was part of efforts to restore confidence and trust in the banking system, and to protect depositors and jobs after the closure of the five banks.

"bee" ready for big changes
Hello friends!
I hope you are all enjoying the experiences you are creating!…more on that later;) So, has the world gone nutso enough for you yet? Well, hang on to your yoga socks, because we're just getting warmed up!!
You might say, "Christy Jean, how can you be so perpetually cheerful when the very world that you claim is ascending toward light and love is obviously on the verge of cataclysmic destruction??!"
Chin up, chicken little…I have excellent news! The sky is not falling…depending on from which perspective you are viewing the sky:)
So, let's all take a moment to shift our perspective and raise our vibration together. Right now, wherever you are, close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath in. Feel the air filling your lungs and expanding your chest cavity until it meets resistance. Visualize that sacred breath delivering light to every cell in your body, illuminating you from head to toe.
Now slowly and steadily release your breath, and as you feel your chest drop and your heartbeat become slower and softer, visualize directing and releasing any collected tension out of the tips of your fingers and toes, and from the pelvic and hip bones.
With your next breath in, feel a shower of love and light washing over you, beginning at your crown and moving down your body. As you exhale, slowly push your breath down your body and allow it to cleanse away any doubt, fear, or anxiety.
Repeat this a few times every day, especially any time you feel challenged with stressful or intense emotions. You'll quickly begin to see how
focusing internally on the sacred breath is the true key to dealing with external challenges.
By becoming still and turning our focus inward, we raise our vibration and open up the opportunity for expansion and growth…we become like the lotus, at ease in muddy water.
I certainly hope that helped!
Now, back to this crazy world we live in. It is pretty obvious when you take a look around that the world as we know it is in a state of upheaval and chaos. It is in a state of extreme polarity, creating what appears to be a stalemate from which no progress can emerge.
Something has got to give.
There has to be a better way, and somebody has to do something…and quick!
What if you were that somebody?
What if there were something you could do right now to flip the script on the status quo and change the face of humanity forever?
What if you could save the world? Certainly you would if you had that kind of power, right?
What if I told you that you do have that kind of power…that you ARE that kind of power?
And you don't even need a fancy cape or spandex outfit to access it…although, I'm never one to turn down a great outfit or a unique accessory if the occasion calls for it, lol! The kind of power I'm talking about, the kind that can change the world, can't be bought and you won't find it in any external source. It's the power that you can only find by seeking for it within the divinity of your own heart.
It is the power of unconditional love.
Which holds within it the power of compassion, grace, mercy, unity, cooperation, healing, and peace.
Each and every time that even one person makes the brave choice to tame the ego beast, step into vulnerability, and extend a hand to others to say, "Hey, I'm a hot mess sometimes too and I'm here to love you through it", duality and despair instantly evaporate and are replaced with all of the elements of unconditional love. The high vibration of those choices ripple out across humanity and becomes exponentially stronger as more and more of us are compelled to seek within to change our own perspective and allow the inner work we are doing to encourage those within our immediate influence to do the same.
Friends, a new day is dawning!
The shift to a higher vibration, and more loving, more peaceful way of life, is so close I can feel in every part of my being. An energy of love, compassion, healing, and abundance is just about to triumphantly birth forth!
And, as with any birth, first their are the labor pains. The sweating and squeezing and pushing and tearing that ultimately brings forth the miracle of new and perfect life. And anyone, myself included, who has experienced holding fresh life in their arms and looking into eyes that have opened to see the world for the first time just moments prior, will tell you it was all worth it. Every moment of it was worth it because what it resulted in was a miracle.
I want to let you in on a secret…
Humanity is experiencing the labor pains that will very soon give birth to a fresh, new energy and way of life unlike anything we've ever experienced. Remember when I told you that love always wins? Well, the love of our creator and a whole legion of angels manifested through the expression of compassion, empathy, truth, light and love has elevated the consciousness of the entire planet and is moments away from the crowning of a fifth dimensional planetary vibration that will extinguish darkness forever!
So, I encourage you to "bee" strong in faith, "bee" filled with hope, "bee" full of light and love, and "bee" ready for BIG changes!!
Blessings, Love, and Light,

Researchers examined data from over 146,500 people from 35 different studies to assess whether or not there was a direct link between vitamin D deficiency and hypertension. The findings showed people with higher levels of vitamin D in their body had a lower diastolic and systolic blood pressure and were 8% less likely to develop high blood pressure. The study suggests taking vitamin D supplements could be an effective way of reducing a person's risk of developing hypertension subject to further investigation. This large study brings to light another potential cause of high blood pressure, which is an impressive progression in the medical field Thembi Nkala, our Senior Cardiac Nurse, said: "This large study brings to light another potential cause of high blood pressure, which is an impressive progression in the medical field. More studies are necessary though to better understand and confirm this link between low vitamin D levels and high blood pressure. "There are lots of simple ways to manage your blood pressure levels including cutting down on salt, keeping physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight, keeping alcohol within recommended limits and avoiding stressors where possible. "Medication will also be prescribed where necessary, otherwise keeping up with a heart healthy lifestyle is always key. If you are over 40 and have not had a health check why not visit your GP surgery and request one."

We are definitely experiencing Spring.
I get a bit nervous to say that because I live in Canada.
As the old adage goes: If you don't like the weather, wait a bit, it will change.
The ground and greenery are all still a bit damp and brown. As the days move on, this quickly changes.
I went for a drive with Jackie the other day and took a few pictures to try and find my next drawing or painting.
Quite a few images caught my eye.
Then Jackie had a brilliant idea!
We need to make cookies!
So we did that today!
Soft, Oatmeal Peanut Butter Banana Cookies.
Full disclaimer.
I am a lazy cook and I like to enjoy my wine when I create things in the kitchen.
I do not really measure things. I just toss things in after eyeballing the quantity and hope for the best.
This is probably why I have such a difficult time making bread.
Anyway, this is what I attempted:
The oven is preheating at 350
In a bowl I added:
1 cup of melted butter
2 large eggs
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas
3 very generous large soup spoons of crunchy peanut butter. The kind that has the peanuts still in whole peanut form
1 teaspoon of salt
I then used my electric mixer and blended that concoction until everything was relatively smooth.
Then I added 2 cups of all purpose flour
3 cups of quick rise oats
1 teaspoon of mixed spice
1 teaspoon of salt
I mixed all of these together and then placed the bowl in the fridge while I did very important things.
By important I mean watch an episode of Daredevil while I cross stitched.
After it chilled for a bit, (well it was placed next to the bottle of wine. I don't judge), I used a spoon and an ice cream scoop and tried to make similar sized cookies of about an inch and a bit on the tray that I lined with parchment paper.
They were placed in the oven for about 8 minuets. It didn't take very long to get that nice brown top on the cookie.
The batch made 24 - 28 cookies. I cannot give you an exact number because I had to eat a few mistakes.
They came out great. They are soft in the middle. You can taste the peanut butter and banana.
I'm off to do more important things. ;P
I think you and I both know I'm just going to veg in front a tv show.
Have a good day everyone!

Last week, I went on a field trip to Old Fort Niagara. What it is as stated on the official Old Fort Niagara website, "The fort played an important role in the struggles of France, Great Britain, and the United States to control the Great Lakes region of North America, and also helped shape the destinies of the Iroquois (Six Nations) peoples and the nation of Canada." It has a long-standing tradition in American warfare with the U.S. Coast Guard being the military presence today. "Fort Niagara was a barracks and training station for American soldiers throughout both World Wars, but army soldiers were withdrawn back in 1963."
Today, the fort is also a tourist attraction and a great place to bring the family for a day of fun. It is not far from where I live to drive.
It was a day to relax and take photographs. I became a 'member' of a local photographer's group. I did not really get to know any of the photographers because most hung around in small groups. I did talk with some though before we went out to shoot.
I did not want to feel a little like, well, a ….. third wheel, so I did not intrude while they were out shooting. A friend of mine suggested I join and I am glad I did. I will get to know more of the group next place we meet, which is the botanical gardens. Hey, I am in my element there. I doubt many of them take as many photos of flowers as I do (my friend excluded though). I will at least not feel so much like an amateur. The program is Night Lights in the Garden. It should be fun and 'enlightening'.
I went off on my own and was finding things to photograph.
You can see how I was finding things others probably had little interest in.
See, the geese are not gone yet, but it looks like they hitched a ride on a barge going South.
I did try to stay on point and shoot the fort itself, but you guys know me, I am easily distracted by some really ordinary stuff.
Cannons and cameras were pointed in many directions. Earlier in the day, there was a beautiful cloud filled sky.
I could have no problem living in these structures. They are beautiful inside and out after about 300 years of military service and great battles. The fort is restored and I am sure very well maintained.
The day was sunny, but a little brisk. Below, you can see across the river.
I wish I could show you the group's work, but the site is for members only. It looks like a lot of HDR & Photoshopping. Some very surreal imaging. I stayed a little more traditional because I am trying to improve my camera skills.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) toning in Photoshop on one image only, not multiple exposures. This method gives impossible clarity and detail.
Original jpeg, see the difference?
Just to get an idea of what I am talking about, here is a Photoshop HDR Toning image in comparison to a shot straight from the camera without any editing. I did not use a tripod or I would have shot a HDR image since most of you will have no clue what that means. Simply, it is shooting multiple exposures of the same scene then combining them post processing into one image with essentially proper exposure for the area of the image over all individual images.
For instance, in one image you may expose for the sky to get that in the final composite. But also notice how in the stone and brick work, you can see each individual masonry unit. Unbelievable clarity and detail, and I stress the unbelievable part. I could make the HDR image better if I did more editing, but I just wanted to show you how a simple one button click in Photoshop brings out all this detail and tone.
See how it brightened the foreground too. I was telling a friend who uses Photoshop about HDR Toning and she did not know this function. So in case anyone wants to know how…. go to Images>Adjustments>HDR Toning and change the settings in the resulting window to suit your image. I just used the default settings in this illustration. It is fun to play around with and now when you see these beyond belief images, you will know how to get them yourselves.
Here is a soldier loading his musket.
We got a demonstration from a soldier in the firing of a musket. I think only one other photographer captured this shot. The musket was fired twice, and I got the firing both times. Too bad no bullet can be seen. That would be some pretty fast shutter action. I snapped the shutter rather than using the continuous burst mode. The soldier counted down, but there usually is a lapse from the time a command is heard to the reaction it creates. I think shooting birds has really made me more aware of timing and anticipation.
Late in the day I captured a photographer from the group shooting out over the lake. I think almost all of the group were shooting using a tripod since we were there until dusk. I had one in my Jeep, but I am so used to hand holding the camera, but probably would have had some images a little sharper if I used it. I left about 4:15, a little before sunset. I have many more photos to show you, but we will save those for later.
On another note, I was nominated for The Versatile Blogger award by Nitty Gritty Dirt Man, and I wanted to pass on my thanks to Kevin for this honor. Please visit his blog and see all the blogs he has selected.

Meet one of our favorite ladies around, Amy, who we lovingly call, Ames. She is as sweet as honey and lives her life open and honestly, spreading smiles and laughter as she goes. Like so many of us, Amy's relationship with food has been a rocky one. The hardest thing about disordered eating is that food is our lifeline, and it's not something we can just walk away or take a break from. We are so happy that Amy is in a place where she feels fantastic, and are incredibly honored that she wanted to share her story with us and YOU.
Take it away, Ames…
You know that moment you feel so drawn to something, so incredibly inspired that it just smacks you – calls you – to sit down, jump up, scream, text frantically, A PURE adrenaline rush, endorphin flowing BLISS?? As I sit down to write this that is EXACTLY how I feel. All because I feel in control. In control of my thoughts, my behavior, my actions, but most importantly, at this point in my life I feel in control of the food I eat. Everything that I put into my mouth.
Control or lack thereof has been something that I have struggled with for years, almost 10+ years. I don't wallow in sadness or sorrow because of having struggled with an eating disorder for that long, but instead feel empowered, light, and finally free. Especially free to share. I'm going to give 'her' the name Harry to lighten the load a bit. Harry seems fitting because around food I almost always feel like I'm in a little bit of a 'harry' predicament. Uneasy territory. Set up to fail or willed by the food to "eat meeeeee!!!" And I am not alone. Nearly 24 million Americans have at some point suffered from disordered eating. As Americans, we are OBSESSED with food. We are bombarded with the newest diet fads weekly if not daily. Calorie counts have been intricately placed on every menu in the nation. I could go on and on and on. Bottom line – we as Americans have an issue with food.
Back to my story. Harry began to take over my life. Almost every second of every day I was thinking about food. Before I had even gotten out of bed in the morning I would think about what I was going to eat for dinner. How could I set my day up right? I wanted to be successful with my eating. I yearned to eat healthy, but I struggled day after day with the balance. I felt completely out of control. Harry had an appetite. I envied each and every sugar laden pastry in the Starbucks window. I would dream about desserts, chocolate, peanut butter… Bread. I would crave white bread. And I couldn't stop myself once I started.
Eating disorders, Harry in my case, should not be taken lightly, or without medical attention. I was treated at a facility specializing in eating disorders, under the care of physicians and nutritionists, which was essential to my recovery. But today, I share my story with an emphasis on the whole picture. Participating in the most recent Get Balanced program by Prescribe Nutrition brought (no pun intended) the balance I needed. I owe so much thanks to Megan, Katie, and Anna for creating such a genius organization. Their motto says it all. Nutrition for real life. I gained a gauntlet of amazing (and absolutely delicious) recipes, but more importantly the program gave me the knowledge of what what was happening in my body on a physiological level.
During Get Balanced we explored the digestive system, adrenal health, and so much more. Katie and Megan broke it down to the molecule. Every single thing I put into my mouth effects the level of hormones in my body, which in turn effects how I feel. Prior to the program I was feeling out of control, sluggish, bloated, tired, and just pretty c r a p p y. The biggest take home for me was the brilliant amazing news that SUGAR (or any trigger food) did not have to control my life. Don't get me wrong. It was not easy – especially the first few days of the program. I was often tempted to sneak a peanut butter cup or drink a glass of wine (and I did). It was hard. I complained to my good friend who did the program with me. I complained a lot. But I realized why I was having all of the cravings. Sugar is highly addictive. I won't get into the nitty gritty of it (because that's what the program is for), but it is possible to eliminate the cravings.
Introducing something new is almost always scary. I was fearful of never being able to enjoy a sinful treat again once the program started. As the program went on my cravings subsided. Oh. My. God (thank YOU!) I now get excited about food – what to cook, what sauce would work with what vegetables, or how to get creative when making healthy desserts. I prioritize time for food prep, and set aside a budget for organic, whole foods. To me, the price of organic food is worth it (thank you Kelly B. for the reminder!). It is an investment in your health; just like other preventive health measures you take. I take pride in eating healthy because of what these ladies have taught me. They are real and willing to get down and dirty with you. They know first and foremost food is a sticky subject but they want you to see the other side. They bring light to functional nutrition. I hope my story and authenticity inspires you to join me in their next program starting September 15th. Reset:14. I will be your support buddy when the times get tough and would be honored if you joined me!

We design and build for sale or for rental high vacuum dual-phase extraction or multi-phase extraction (DPE or MPE) systems for a wide range of application including ATEX certified plant for potentially explosive gases and liquids.
Typical Applications
Dual-Phase Extraction (Groundwater and Soil Vapour)
Just as submersible pumps may be used to de-water the formation for soil vapour extraction, this approach can achieve the same for lower permeability formations where it can increase both the groundwater abstraction rate and the soil vapour extraction rate. It is not cost efficient for higher permeability formations.
Please call to discuss.
Multi-Phase Extraction (Groundwater, NAPL and soil vapour)
Frequently adopted in the UK in the past and still typically demanded by some international clients with operations in North America and Australia, European ATEX regulations have rendered this technology almost cost prohibitive for potentially explosive liquids and gases for the following reasons:
- The ingress of NAPL into the vacuum system renders concentration control (by dilution) impossible in the way that soil gas alone can be controlled by dilution in an SVE system. Bio-slurping petrol for example will inherently therefore lead to an explosive atmosphere requiring at least an ATEX Category 2 if not probably Category 1 system with very significant cost implications
- Furthermore as neither activated carbon nor a catalytic oxidiser can accept concentrations in excess of 25% of LEL, fixed flow dilution prior to treatment would be required leading to even more significant additional cost.
- Even diesel/aviation fuel/kerosene becomes explosive under the reduced pressures (ie vacuum) required for bio-slurping.
Please call to discuss.
Related Technologies
Soil Vapour Extraction (SVE); Pilot Testing; Air Sparging; Steam Injection and In-Situ Conductive Heating, Catalytic Oxidation
Soil Vapour Extraction
Soil Vapour Extraction for lower permeability;
Typical Specifications
Cornelsen can build a system to match virtually any required design. Our systems are the result of years of product evolution for reliability, safety and robustness.
A typical off-the shelf system available for rapid mobilisation and hire is summarised below:
- 10' Steel Shipping Container with insulation, electric light and ventilation
- Max. Air Flow: 600m3/hr;
- Max. Vacuum: -800mbar gauge (200mbar abs.);
- Gas sampling and infra-red LEL detection system (Not Inline)
- Gas tight valves,
- 400 litre moisture and particulate separator with ATEX Level controls and progressive cavity discharge pump;
- Control Panel with PLC and telemetry with SMS alarm text messages and remote dial in access.
Tech Tip:
The installation of in-line LEL detection systems in MPE plants is typically poorly applied. Failure to condition the soil vapour for the flow, pressure, humidity and temperature parameters required by the LEL detector head render the readings useless.

ARENAarts is putting a different spin on Charles Dickens by adding a few laughs to his classic tale A Christmas Carol. Adapted by Karen Louise Hebden and directed by Trish Theisinger at the Latvian Centre Theatre, it's a fun-filled family show full of traditional Dickens characters – but not your usual Scrooge.
This version of A Christmas Carol features innovative performances, quick characterisations, heaps of comedy, dashes of drama and flashes of tragedy.
Yet the story remains the same: Scrooge is a miserly old man, lost in the business of making and conserving money, shunning any act of kindness or charity.
He makes it absolutely clear he has no money to give anyone but himself – until a few helpful, if somewhat eccentric, ghosts and a charming child help Scrooge to redeem himself, bringing him back to life.
A Christmas Carol plays at 8pm November 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 with 2pm matinees November 15 and 22. Tickets are $20, $16 concession – book on 9399 9947, email@example.com or at TryBooking.
