Although Australia eliminated the inheritance tax for those who passed away after June 30, 1979, this doesn't necessarily mean that no taxes are payable on your own estate when you pass on.
In fact, those who receive your estate may have to pay taxes on both your estate and any capital transactions that may occur following your demise.
The good news is that any cash you leave your beneficiaries will not be taxed, as it is not considered to be income by Australian law.
If you leave your home to your beneficiaries and they sell the property, any proceeds received from the sale will be non-taxable, as well as free from capital gains tax.
However, any investments or other assets you transfer to your beneficiaries may be subject to the CGT. An interesting thing to note is that the payment of the CGT will be deducted from your estate if it is the estate selling the investment instead of your beneficiary.
Taxes, Your Super and The Executors
Your super, should you leave it to any beneficiaries not considered to be dependents will be subject to a tax of 16.5%. This percentage rises to 31.5% if the funds are considered to be untaxed super funds. This tax also includes values like that of the insurance portion of your super.
But the following may come as a relief to you; the executor or executors of your estate are the ones who will be responsible for determining which taxes may apply and how much money needs to be paid to the government from your estate. Following the payment of taxes, your executors can then distribute the remainder to the one or more beneficiaries you have designated. This means that your beneficiaries won't have to worry about paying extra taxes once they receive their portion of your estate.
Property Inheritances
Experts recommend that anyone named as a beneficiary to an estate keep detailed records should they inherit the property of a person who died on or after the September 20th, 1985 unless:
– The property was residential, and not used for the purpose of generating income;
– The property was your main residence right before you passed away;
– You bequeathed the property to your beneficiary after the 20th of August, 1996.
Where the above circumstances apply, it will be assumed that your beneficiary acquired the property at market value on the day you passed away.
If you acquired your property prior to September 20, 1985, the market value of that property will need to be known as of the date of your death. As well, related costs, such as those incurred by trustees and executors will also need to be known, as these costs will reveal how much it will be assumed the acquisition of the asset cost you.
There's no need to fret about how much in taxes that may be due once you've passed on, the main thing is to know you have a well thought out retirement plan underway. To get your retirement planning on the right track, download a copy of our free guide: today or better yet get in touch with us.

The most common definition of outsource manufacturing is when the manufacturing that one company needs performed is hired out to a different company that is ultimately responsible for the manufacturing. The manufacturing work is to an outside source which is where this term originates. Many companies participate in outsource manufacturing because of reduced production costs that are made possible through economies of scale which is a theory that holds that as a company grows and produces more goods or provides more services, their costs will probably decrease and economic growth will be achieved.
While there are many kinds of manufacturing processes, there are also many different subcontractors willing to perform outsourced work. Whether it is milling, etching or welding, companies in North America or around the world are willing to accept the contract. Outsource manufacturing is widely used by many companies including those in need of aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics, food and beverage, marine, medical and pharmaceutical contract manufacturing.
Outsource manufacturing usually follows a standard business model. A company decides that it is going to hire an outside company to provide certain manufacturing services. It solicits job estimates from various companies in that business. Usually these companies are exclusively subcontractors that do outsourced work. They provide the hiring firm with bids based on the labor, tooling and material costs. The hiring firm then makes a selection based on what they interpret is the best service and the most cost effective.
Companies that outsource their manufacturing work have chosen not to purchase or rent their own production facility in order to take advantage of possible cost savings while avoiding the hassles and responsibilities of manufacturing themselves. The two companies discuss details such as the length of the contract, the amount paid and the specific manufacturing services to be provided and, once in agreement, sign a contract.
Other options beyond outsource manufacturing includes subcontract machining, contract assembly or manufacturing for a specific industry, such as aerospace, chemical or pharmaceutical plants. Hiring manufacturing services is also similar to working with an OEM, an original equipment manufacturer. OEMs fabricate products that are purchased by the hiring firm and sold under the branding of that same company. In both cases, the firm that is hired to do the actual work is not the same firm who designs, advertises, retails and profits from the services.

About William Frew
Short history:
I was brought up in South Boston. I went to the Gate of Heaven School in South Boston until midway through the 8th grade when I had to enter a boarding school due to a death in the family. I attended high school at Mt. St. Charles Academy in Woonsocket,R.I. and then Boston University.
I was an Aviation Cadet in the Air Force and then flew KC-135 jet tankers in the Strategic Air Command for almost eight years. I then left the Air Force and flew as a pilot with TWA for 30 years. One year into my career with TWA I was sidetracked for a few months because I was the victim of a random shooting in Kansas City where I was training for International flights. I got one shot in the back from a range of a few inches and managed to duck a few more shots that followed. Fortunately I was able to continue flying after a few months recuperation.
My wife Renee Heenan was a flight attendant with TWA. Renee passed away in 1994 of breast cancer. I have a son Joseph, who is a graduate of Stetson University, Florida and a daughter Nora.
Painting History:
I started painting in the Air Force while stationed in Oklahoma and North Dakota after seeing another officer in the BOQ (bachelor officer quarters) have success in his initial attempts to paint. I continued painting a short while after joining TWA. Due to the time demands of commuting to fly from JFK in NY and the family I had to give up painting for a while. I started painting again about 10 years ago. I had no formal training in painting but I read as many instruction books as I can. I also have a good friend, Frank Strazzulla, who is a member of the prestigious Guild of Boston Artists. Whenever I visit his studio I pick his brains and learn a great deal. I took my first class in painting outdoors from Frank in September, 2005.
I joined the South Boston Arts Association and have found it to be an amazing group of highly intelligent and talented people who are very supportive of each other. That support enabled me to have the nerve to exhibit some paintings at a street festival for the first time. I was amazed to find that some people liked my work. I have exhibited in a number of shows in Quincy since and have won four awards there.

Quincy Art Association September Artsfest –
2002- Third award , Members category

Game of Thrones is the most downloaded show on TV right now for obvious reasons: it's on HBO. Actually, that's about it — unless you have an HBO subscription, it's impossible to see their programming on legal streaming sites like Hulu or Netflix. Hence, as many next-day tsk tsk GoT downloads as times Jon Snow has been told he knows nothing. And yet, according to Game of Thrones director David Petrarca, they don't give a dragon's ass.
At the Perth Writer's Festival this past weekend, Game of Thrones director David Petrarca downplayed the threat of piracy to the show's success, saying that illegal downloads don't matter since shows thrive on "cultural buzz." As the Sydney Morning Herald reports, Petrarca shrugged when a panel mediator noted that Game of Thrones was the most pirated show of 2012; the show was downloaded about 3.9 million times per episode, which was more than a million downloads per episode more than the second-most pirated show How I Met Your Mother. "That's how they survive," he said. (Via)
"Cultural buzz" is both good and bad. It's what keeps HBO from caring about people watching their shows for free, but it's why stories like "SETH MACFARLANE RUINS THE OSCHERS" and "GIRLS THINK PIECE #17″ stay in the news for days, too. It's also the name of Lena Dunham's vibrator.

Hi everyone,
Finally I'm done with the ever so terrifying CAT-2015. Have a few more less scary exams left to finish and then I would know where to head over next year.
All these exams and the festivals last month left my skin in a very bad state and of course you can blame the hormones too. That's when I came across this face serum named "ELISIR" by a startup company called IWOWD SKINCARE launched by the pretty blogger ANKITA DAS. IWOWD skincare promotes living an all natural, holistic lifestyle and using all natural ingredients for rejuvenation of one's body and skin and the 100% natural face serum 'Elisir' is their first product in this direction.
Recently I've realised how important face oils and serums are for us. They are anyday more effective for our skin and does wonders in a very short period of time , but in a NATURAL WAY. I received this product in the month of October and I've been using it ever since without a stop. It's been more than a month which according them is the prescribed time to see results and I can vouch on the fact that , yes it has shown some really great effects on my skin.
Lets first see some facts about this product:
Claims: This 100% natural face serum is free from any chemicals and helps in reducing sun tanning, blemishes, sun burns, pigmentation and rejuvenates for a brighter and firmer looking skin. Not tested on ANIMALS.
Packaging: It comes in a brownish tinted glass bottle with a dropper cap. The dropper is really useful to take the right amount of product for one use everytime. The ingredients are clearly mentioned on the label but sadly the price isn't mentioned on it. The only drawback is it's not at all travel friendly due to the glass bottle.
Ingredients: Contains Argan oil, grapeseed oil, rosehip oil,jojoba oil, evening primrose oil, avocado oil, lavender oil and geranium essential oil.
Fragrance: The fragrance is very naturally and smells a bit like rose but nor overwhelming at all.
Usage: Oily skin-1 drop in day and 2 drops at night
Dry skin-3 drops in day and 4 drops at night
Combination skin-2 drops in day and 4 drops at night.
Price and quantity: INR 1099/- inclusive of all taxes for 30ml bottle.This is really cheap considering other high end brand serums available in the market currently which are priced at a minimum of INR 3ooo and higher.
My experience:
I started using this on 20th of October and it's still only half bottle over since only a few drops is required everytime. I had a lot of pigmentation around my mouth and some sun tanning and it actually helped me getting rid of those problems. I wouldn't say it's completely gone but yes, it has done it's magic and I'm going to continue using it and purchase another one soon too. I usually cleanse my face in the morning and night and apply a few drops as per instructions on my face in an upward motion and pat the serum so that it can penetrate into the skin and do it's work.
Also my skin is soft and brighter and I noticed a clearer complexion.It makes my skin felt moisturized.It is also good for acne prone skin as it didn't break me out. Since I have a sensitive skin, this serum didn't cause any redness or itching, hence really good for people having sensitive skin.However,patch test is recommended.Also if someone is allergic to nuts,latex, grapeseed, nursing & pregnant mothers,should refrain from using this.
- Affordable as compared to other available face serums in the market.
- Natural ingredients
- Not tested on animals
- Does not break you out and shows immediate results in a month.
- Not travel-friendly
- Price not mentioned on the label
- Can be only ordered through their Facebook page and no COD available yet.
Ratings: I would give it a 4.3/5 and definitely recommend this if your are looking for a face serum in an affordable price range. A big shoutout to Ankita for curating this amazing product.
You can visit the FACEBOOK page and their WEBSITE by clicking here and here. And also don't forget to comment below and tell me what do you think about this product and if you have any other face serums that i should try.
Have a great week and stay awesome!!!! 🙂

Our preview card for this Magic: The Gathering Dragon's Maze season of surprises and spoilers is Warped Physique, an uncommon Dimir spell that looks like a Limited winner. While it may not appear as immediately useful as something like Agony Warp, this Dimir spell enables a full range of deceptive possibilities.
Warped Physique is easy to cast as instant removal, but there's a catch. As Warped Physique can viably handle huge targets with a sizable hand, decks that sport it will get considerably more value out of the card if they are able to play reactively instead of laying everything out on the table. It's especially important not to play extraneous land drops if your deck has acquired a few Warped Physiques during draft or from a sealed pool, as every card is essential for making it a potent removal spell.
The longer a game goes on, the less cards are going to be around to handle threats that will presumably be cast from a greater supply of mana and resources, so a control deck like Dimir grind is probably going to get the most value out of something like this. That said, even with just a few other cards in the grip Warped Physique is an effective removal tool against guildmages and other assorted low toughness threats.
So Warped Physique is vulnerable to lack of a hand and suffers from incredible weakness in a topdeck situation. What are players getting to make up for this price? Versatility. Warped Physique is a solid removal spell, but it can be used as the clutch catalyst for getting those crucial extra points in to win a match. While the "other" side of Warped Physique won't see nearly as much use as the scaling removal feature, opponents are not expecting instant extra damage to come with a Dimir fueled assault.
For two mana, Warped Physique can offer that critical one or two points of damage on a minor 1/3 attacker to close out a game, or a much more decisive kick on a creature with enough toughness to handle the twisting. Those 1/4 and 2/5 bodies can become quite dangerous after a dash of Dimir innovation.
As a solid removal spell that will go one-for-one against almost anything that the opponent fields early in the game or as a surprise creature boost, Warped Physique offers Dragon's Maze draft and sealed environments a delicious Dimir option that's sure to satiate even the most duplicitous of Ravica's denizens.
Players will have their first opportunity to play with Warped Physique and the rest of Magic: The Gathering's Dragon's Maze at prerelease events on April 27-28.

The Cat Clinic Denver Post Article07-Oct-2016
Lakewood's Cat Care Society working to
improve clinic services for low-income cat
Expanded hours, new equipment highlight changes with more to come.
When Heather Allen joined the staff of Lakewood's Cat Care Society as the shelter manager, she quickly saw potential in the nonprofit organization.
"I realized we were sitting on a gold mine. We could do so much more with cats and the public," Allen said. so after being named executive director earlier this year, she immediately got to work.
In the last few months, the Cat Care Society has improved its services at the clinic to include expanded hours and better equipment for the veterinarians and vet technicians. The clinic also hired a second veterinarian to help on Saturday shifts and during the week.
The Cat Care Society provides shelter for up to 50 cats and also has a veterinary clinic that provides services to cats in the shelter, low-income cat owners and other customers. The nonprofit, formed in 1981, had its current shelter built in 2001 and the downstairs clinic was added in 2005.
The clinic is now open from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon on Saturdays. The shelter is open noon-5:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday and noon-3 p.m. Sundays. The shelter houses cats and kittens that are given away or brought by people who can no longer care for them. It will take the cats brought in unless it's at capacity — it does not euthanize for space.
The clinic also recently provided discounts on dental work to expand its customer base.
"We started there to see how many we could get in the door," Allen said.
Allen notes that the clinic still has a lot of old equipment in need of replacement and recently used crowdfunding to raise money to buy new surgical equipment and get a new water circulating system. The clinic can now test blood samples on-site.
Lead vet Katie Waisanen is happy with the upgrades and hopes plans to get new ultrasound and X-ray machines in the clinic come to fruition within the next few months.
"At least I feel like I'm at a place where I can do good medicine. I'm kind of spoiled," she said.
Vet tech Shantal Blea has been with the clinic through its transition over the past year and said the changes have opened up the clinic as a possibility to more clients. Low-income clients are given discounts on a sliding scale.
"We really have a different clientele now. We can provide more care, and people are taking advantage of that," she said.
Customer Barbara Dawson said that she previously experienced problems with getting in to see a vet, even in times of need, because the clinic in was full. She has not needed urgent service recently since any changes went into effect, but she does like the specials now offered.
"I was able to get our cat's teeth cleaned at a very affordable rate due to a special that was offered," Dawson said, adding that she also likes the new waiting room. It's been painted and has cat-related art displayed on the walls that is for sale.
Allen said the clinic and shelter are mostly funded by grants and donations in addition to clinic costs. She hopes within the next year to have the clinic be sustainable and help fund the shelter.
A long-term goal is to build a new clinic and shelter double the size of the current space over an old house on the property that serves as an administrative office.
"I'm really excited for everything going into future," Allen said.

CLEVELAND — Addison Russell has got the moves — on and off the field!
Just as World Series Game 6 was starting, the Chicago Cubs Twitter account shared a video of the shortstop doing some sort of moonwalk-inspired dance moves in the dugout.
Maybe dancing is what helps get Addison Russell in the batting groove — he got Grand Slam in the third inning. The last time someone got a Grand Slam in the World Series was 2005. Interestingly enough, it was by another Chicago player — the White Sox's Paul Konerko.
Also, Russell's six RBI's in Game 6 tie the all-time record for a World Series game.
Now that's what we call Addison MUSCLE!

In the Hands of Consumers: Digital Tools for Stress-free Design - A #DesignLUX Conversation
The Technological Revolution.
The last few decades have been a virtual whirlwind of increasing technological awareness. When once upon a time the computer was limited only to those who had the room, budget, and security clearance to afford one, today, over 30% of the world's population carries a personal computer with them in their back pocket by way of a Smart Phone. Technology hasn't simply come into our pockets but, instead, into all aspects of our personal and professional lives. Stoves can now email. Thermostats can analyze energy usage. Automobiles can call dealers for service on your behalf.
The Interior Design profession and marketplace has not been immune to the influence of technology. In fact, the industry has been radically transformed by the availability of tools available to both professionals and consumers alike. Online curation site Pinterest had, as of 2013, 70 million users, with home décor representing 40% of their over 30 billion pins. Home remodeling and design platform Houzz represents over 500,000 design and construction professionals and sees over 25 million views monthly. Online-only retailer Wayfair generated $1.3 billion in 2014 with over 3.2 million active customers.
As we look to help software developer BuildEffective.com celebrate their new online kitchen remodel summary generator, MyDreamProjector which unofficially launched this past Friday, #DesignLUX will be taking a closer look at the tools available to consumers to guide them through the interior design and home remodel process. From iOS and Android apps to digital websites, we'll share our favorites, ask you for yours, and possibly help you discover a few new tools to add to your arsenal.

Mad Max and the Rule of Law
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome has a great phrase from Bartertown law, which perhaps I've even improved here:
"Bust a deal: spin the wheel".
The wheel is a wheel of fortune with various punishments for breach of contract, including death.
Somehow I thought of that when I hear many supposedly free market, rule-of-law Americans saying that the government should force AIG to breach its contracts with its employees and not pay them the bonus amounts specified in the contracts, changing the law if necessary so the employees cannot have recourse to the courts to get their contracts honored. Even primitive societies believe that people should keep their contracts or pay damages.

Whole Wheat Coconut Blueberry Muffin Recipe
By Ashley:
I recently had a great opportunity to do some writing on the Bob's Red Mill Blog. My post will be coming soon and I'll be sure to share the link with you. They sent me some coconut flour, and I was able to do some recipe testing. After doing some experimenting and practicing with coconut flour, I adjusted one my mom's whole wheat muffin recipes to create this moist, delicious, fiber filled tasty muffin. These Coconut Blueberry Muffins are a great breakfast on the go or mid morning snack.
You Will Need:
– 1 stick of butter (room temperature)
– ¾ c. sugar
– 5 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 1 1/3 c. unsweetened applesauce
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 ½ c. whole wheat flour
– ½ c. coconut flour
– 2 c. fresh blueberries
– 1 c. unsweetened coconut flakes
Preheat the oven to 375*. Begin by mixing butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and 1 cup of applesauce. Gradually mix in the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add the ½ cup of coconut flour, then the remaining 1/3 cup of applesauce. Using a spatula, stir in the fresh blueberries and coconut flakes.
I prefer using silicon baking cups, but you can also grease a muffin pan or use paper baking cups. Use 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin and bake for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the muffins since all ovens cook a little differently. The tops should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. This recipe made 18 muffins.

The average chunk of chocolate contains about 200 calories and because I might partake of two servings every night and is perhaps a few more at weekends it only adds up to 3,500 calories a week. That is the equivalent of one pound in weight per week.
Therefore, in the last 3 1/2 years, I have had the calorific intake of about a hundred and eighty pounds and because I only weigh about one hundred and sixty-five pounds, it is plain to see that without chocolate, I should have wasted away to nothing about three months ago! Hence, I owe of my life to chocolate.
Anybody want a piece?

Now, however cold it is or however reluctant my duvet is to release me in the morning, I usually have to summon the courage to throw back the covers and step out into the chill of the early day.
You see, when you have a dog who loves her post-breakfast walks and a son who has to get the school bus at 7.20am on six mornings every week, there's really not much chance to linger in bed. This used to really bother me but, this winter, the excuse to get out and about early is one I've gratefully seized...
These winter mornings have been unbelievably beautiful. And, when you're the only one around, you can stand, stare and soak it all in for as long as you like without having to share any of it with anyone.
On super cold mornings, when I pull my hat further down over my ears and wonder why I didn't put on that extra layer, you feel pretty chuffed with yourself that you made it out. On misty mornings, when tendrils of creeping fog ooze across the paths in front of you and slip over the lake, the world seems muffled and if anyone is out, they're usually hidden from view.
So, my dog and I crunch through the frosty grass, splash our way through mud and puddles and drift soundlessly through the mists and fog on these winter mornings and, by the time we return home, we think we've earned the right to slip back upstairs for a few minutes and wrap ourselves in blankets until we're warmed through again.

This feature seems great. :> Though personally I think I'd rather the people critiquing me be the ones whom I already trust to give me good critique, unless I see that those regularly using the critique feature are actually good at giving critique. I assume that the majority will be decent, but you never know how many of those "this art is bad and you should feel bad" posters are around, or ones otherwise annoying and unhelpful.

I've also noticed looking at the main page there doesn't seem to be a way to browse submissions marked for critique.
Is that something intentional or is it something to be added later?
The button was there as a placeholder, but the page didn't get finished before launch. We will be adding it as soon as possible though, as well as being able to view all streams, and having a Read More function for news posts.

In this guide we'll help you find the best small Android phones worth buying. As you probably know, these days almost every phone released has a huge screen. Bigger isn't always better, which is why some people prefer small Android phones. The iPhone SE is a perfect example of a good small phone, and Android users want something similar. With that in mind, you'll be happy to know they do exist, and we'll help you find one.
It all started in 2011 with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and now every company offers a big phone. From the Galaxy S9 to the OnePlus 5T or Pixel 2 XL. A phone with a 6-inch screen is the new norm. If you want one that's small, portable and easy to hold, we have you covered. These are phones that don't look massive next to your ear.
Read: Best Android Phones Under $300 (2018)
The problem is most small phones don't come with high-end specs or the latest features. As a result, you'll have to buy a massive phone or compromise on features. Don't worry though, because we have you covered. Luckily there are still a few great options for buyers that we'll detail below.
Best Small Screen Android Phones
- Google Pixel 2
- Huawei P10
- Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017)
- Sony Xperia ZX2 Compact
- Moto G5 Plus
- Nokia 3
The Galaxy S9, LG V30, HTC U11 and Pixel 2 XL all have big screens. However, some of those companies still offer smaller Android devices. Yes, finding a high-end phone with a tiny 3.5-inch screen is impossible, but some can come close.
We've found some decent small phones from brands you know and trust. Our small Android phones are either extremely affordable, deliver great battery life, or offer a premium experience in a little package. These are all "small" compared to what else is available, but none have a tiny 4-inch screen like Apple's iPhone SE. However, the Samsung Galaxy A3 is pretty compact, or theXperia XZ2 Compact. As more phones arrive throughout 2018 we'll add them to our list.
In closing, most Android phones still have screens around 5-inches or bigger. Sadly, that's about as small as they come. However, with shrinking bezels and the latest technology, they're more compact than you think. In fact, the Galaxy A8 (2018) has a big 5.6-inch screen but feels like a 4-inch phone. It's a good middle ground for potential buyers. We've updated this list with the best small screen Android phones available in 2017. Then, we're expecting some good candidates in May and June as the 2018 summer smartphone season kicks off.
Google Pixel 2
If you want a phone that isn't approaching "phablet" territory look no further than the new Google Pixel 2. This small(ish) Android phone delivers a high-end experience across the board, has one of the best smartphone cameras on the market, and runs the absolute latest Android 8.0 Oreo software.
With the Pixel 2, you'll get the same fast Snapdragon 835 processor as every other high-end phone on the market. It's basically a Galaxy S8 in a small package with a 5-inch screen. And while 5-inches isn't considered "small" to everyone, it's one of the smallest screens in the Android marketplace here in 2017.
The Google Pixel 2 delivers a 5-inch 1080p Full HD Samsung AMOLED display, dual front-facing speakers, powerful specs, the latest Android 8.0 Oreo software, and a highly capable 12.3 Megapixel rear camera. Google offers the same portrait mode photography settings as the new iPhone X, on both the front and rear cameras too.
To round things out, the Pixel 2 features an IP67 dust and water-resistant rating, packs a decent 2,700 mAh battery, and supports fast charging technology. Again, we know this isn't the smallest device in the world, but it's the most powerful small Android phone on the market today.
Buy it Unlocked for any carrier on the Google Store, or from Verizon Wireless.

book sets from juniper books
One of my big goals this year is to spend less time in virtual life and more time in real life. Part of that commitment means watching fewer screens and cracking open more books. I finally started reading seriously again during the book tour, so I'm starting to build a little collection of favorites. As much as I love the look of color-coded books, it's not functional enough for me. But I do like grouping books by theme or author so I can find them when I'm in the mood. These book sets from Juniper Books are a fun way to gift classics to someone special in your life or just stylishly fill any holes in your collection. Each set (several are organized specifically for Valentine's Day) comes with a decorative cover and includes five classic books from authors like Austen, Brontë and Hawthorne. Together, the covers in a set form a full image/phrase. I love this concept (even in a simpler DIY fashion) and think it's always nice to gift something to read. Click here to check out (and shop) the full collections online. Thanks, Thatcher! xo, grace

text: Further to recent announcements regarding technology and Artificial Intelligence, Riverview Law and the University of Liverpool are featured in a case study on page 4 of the Raconteur Legal Efficiency Report published in The Times. The below is originally from the 'Legal Efficiency Report' published by Raconteur Media on 19th February 2015 in The Times. The Agent Applications, Research and Technology (Agent ART) Group at Liverpool University is a leading centre of pure and applied research in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. In everyday English, this is the science underpinning the development of robots, either real or virtual, capable of making their own decisions in complex situations, including conflicts with other robots. This is a field at the cutting edge of information technology. At first sight the Agent ART Group appears to have little in common with Riverview Law, a new-style legal business set up in Liverpool in 2010, which has DLA Piper as a minority shareholder, and provides legal advisory outsourcing and technology solutions to in-house legal functions of large corporations. Last month, however, the firm announced it had set up a "knowledge transfer partnership" with the University of Liverpool to find ways of developing the university's artificial intelligence (AI) expertise in the legal field. The firm says the partnership will enable it to apply a range of leading-edge computer science expertise in areas such as text processing, network analysis, computational argumentation and data mining. "A primary objective of this project is to automate some of the cognitive abilities of knowledge workers to provide organisations with intelligent decision support tools," Agent ART says. The hope is to create artificial intelligence software capable of automating routine legal tasks, speeding up and cutting the price of services. In particular, the firm is working with Katie Atkinson, reader in the Agent ART Group of the university's Department of Computer Science. She describes her research as concerning "computational models of argument, with a particular focus on persuasive argumentation in practical reasoning and how this can be applied in domains such as e-democracy, law and agent systems". Dr Atkinson says it is a good fit. "We are delighted to be working with such an innovative company as Riverview Law. From our first meeting we were struck by the commitment its team has to the application of technology, not only in its own business, but also in the way it delivers services to its global customers. Meetings with those customers and the wider Riverview Law team simply confirmed our desire to work with them and show how we can commercialise our research," she says. Karl Chapman, chief executive of Riverview Law, comments: "Over the last 18 months, as we developed our thinking in the AI and expert systems field, we were delighted to find such relevant world-class expertise on our doorstep – North-West England really is becoming the centre of the legal universe. We are very focused on providing expert systems and tools that support knowledge work, and the way AI and such systems can help our teams and our customers make quicker and better decisions."

June 20 (Eritrea's Memorial Day)
June 20. Just another day for most people around the world. But for Eritreans, it is a day full of meaning and of utmost importance. It is Mealti Sematat. A day set aside to give thanks and remember the thousands who gave their lives and limbs to make May 24 possible and to make sure the hard-won Independence remains secure.
The sheer significance of June 20 is extremely difficult to appropriately capture in words. How do you adequately convey the courage of men, women, young, and old, who encountered unfathomable odds, yet approached their challenges with utter fearlessness? Or the resilience and steadfastness apparent in fighting, scratching, clawing - just surviving - year after year? Attack after attack? Drought, famine, illness, and Setback? How do you properly describe the sacrifice and selflessness of individuals who fought and gave their own lives with the full understanding that ultimate success would only transpire much, much later – and without them there to experience it? What words can sufficiently express the nobleness of the hamadie (mothers) who graciously blessed their own sons and daughters who went off to contribute to the great cause, with no guarantee they would ever return? How to convey the coming together of Eritreans - men and women, inside the country and across the diaspora, young and old, of various religious backgrounds, and from any of 9 different ethno-linguistic groups - united by a common goal?
June 20 inspires a wide range of emotions and sentiments. Reverence, respect, and sorrow, to name only a few. But you also feel blessed, in that you are blessed to have the opportunity to know your history, and able to play a contributing role in the future. You feel thankful, in that there were, and continue to be, people providing amazing examples for you to follow and standards to maintain. You feel love, as in the unfaltering love we all have for one another, our country, our history, and our culture is so readily and clearly apparent.
However, the word "obligated" is most apt. June 20 is a reminder of our obligations to our heroes and martyrs that sacrificed everything, and continue to, so that we have a country to call our own. Not only must we proudly cherish their memory, we are obligated to strive to fulfill their dreams of a prosperous, harmonious, golden Eritrea.

This Saturday, April 8th, local writer and former editor at The Stake, Andrew DeYoung, will be reading from his new YA sci-fi novel The Exo Project. DeYoung will be joined by Sara Biren, who will read from her novel, The Last Thing You Said.
The two debut authors are holding their launch party at Solomon's Porch (100 W 46th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419), at 7:00 PM. The event is hosted by Addendum Books. Be sure to come out for a literary party, including food and beer. Because book parties are the best parties.
And please, show your support for a great local bookstore like Addendum by buying both books. If you bought on Amazon already, you're forgiven. But the rest of you, reserve your purchase for an-person purchase from Addendum. It's more important than ever to support your local bookstores.
Both Andrew and Sara's books were named among the best new books releasing this month by the Children's Book Review. VOYA said of Exo Project: "In addition to its entertainment value, the book's greatest strength is its willingness to take on such issues as climate change, bigotry, sexism, violence, and responsibility for the common good."
Kirkus called "The Last Thing You Said "the best kind of tragic love story."
Learn more about Andrew and his book through this great interview, then mark your calendar for Saturday night.
And from The Stake, congratulations Andrew. We're very proud of you.
"This fast-paced, sharply written multiple-perspective YA science-fiction debut opens on a future Earth ravaged by solar radiation. Desperate for money to save his sick mother, seventeen-year-old Matthew agrees to participate in the Exo Project, a government plan to save the human race by flying across the galaxy in search of a habitable planet for resettlement. He thinks he's been given a death sentence: 100 years in cryostasis, followed by a quick death on some barren world. But then he lands on Gle'ah, discovering the strange, beautiful creatures who live there, including Kiva, the captivating teenage girl who leads her planet's matriarchal society. Kiva views Matthew as a threat and for good reason—if he tells Earth that he's found a suitable planet, it will mean the end of her people's way of life. But then Kiva and Matthew discover an emotional connection they never expected—and as they begin to delve into the secrets of Matthew's mission and the dark truth behind the seeming paradise of Gle'ah, the choices they make will have consequences for both of their worlds."
"Last summer, Lucy's and Ben's lives changed in an instant. One moment, they were shyly flirting on a lake raft, finally about to admit their feelings to each other after years of yearning. In the next, Trixie—Lucy's best friend and Ben's sister—was gone, her heart giving out during a routine swim. And just like that, the idyllic world they knew turned upside down, and the would-be couple drifted apart, swallowed up by their grief. Now it's a year later in their small lake town, and as the anniversary of Trixie's death looms, Lucy and Ben's undeniable connection pulls them back together. They can't change what happened the day they lost Trixie, but the summer might finally bring them closer to healing—and to each other."

For something like well pump repair, it's important to leave the job in the hands of skilled professionals, so call us for service in Asheville.
When you have a well on your commercial or residential property in Asheville, North Carolina, you have access to your own personal source of water for drinking, hygiene, meal prep, and other needs. Wells use pumps to push the water through the plumbing, so you don't have to scoop out water with a bucket and pulley system like in the past. But if your well pump isn't working properly, you may find yourself outside trying to collect water from the well. Instead of reverting back to this system, give us a call at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing – Hendersonville. We have extensive experience with well pump repair, so we can quickly diagnose and fix any problems that you have.
Not only does a broken well pump cause an inconvenience, but it can also lead to other more serious problems. When the pump isn't able to do its job and move water from the ground into the well, you could experience a backup of the water, which can cause your well to flood. A sudden onslaught of water might cause damage to your landscaping and even cause issues with the well construction. When our team performs well pump repair, we will also check to make sure the plumbing is working properly and that the pump is installed on the well casing, ensuring that your unit continues to function properly through the changing seasons.
For something like well pump repair, it's important to leave the job in the hands of skilled professionals, so call us at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing – Hendersonville for service in Asheville.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing – Hendersonville, we offer high-quality sink repair services in Buncombe County, including Asheville, Hendersonville, Biltmore Forest, Black Mountain, Montreat, Weaverville, and Woodfin, and Henderson County, including Saluda, Fletcher, Laurel Park, and Mills River, North Carolina.

We like wildflowers... but it is tricky to work out what is 'wild' and what is introduced to the garden.
One of our garden volunteers, Gill, carried out a very useful survey of the wildflowers in July and August 2016 - to be added soon.
From the British Wild Flowers website:
- 'Native plants'... have 'been growing in the area without being introduced by man usually for many thousands of years... includes naturally occurring hybrids even if those have only recently been discovered'...
- 'Archaeophyte... established plant believed to have been introduced by man before 1500 AD'.
- 'Neophyte... introduced and naturalised after 1500 AD'.
- 'Casual alien... grows in an area without being planted but fails to establish itself in the wild for very long'.
The bowling green was intensively cultivated for bowls-grade lawn until 2013 and then the area was locked for about a year. By mid-2014, the bowling green itself had become long grassland (see photo).
Orchids in the garden
When we first started to visit the green in January 2015, we found a small colony of bee orchids near some Swedish whitebeam trees.
In December 2015, we found another small colony of bee orchids - saved from the ditching hoe!
In 2016, we only had two orchids in flower, apparently this is common.
There are colonies of bee orchids in at least four other places in the main park, some white helleborine orchids under beech trees in the playground and a single (not so) common spotted orchid in another place.
Chalk grassland
We also have lots of emerging chalk grassland plants around the bowling green. Like bird's foot trefoil, fumitory, ladies bedstraw, selfheal and yarrow.
In Autumn 2015, we spotted some glistening ink cap near the bee orchids, under the whitebeam trees, after we had raked the leaves. They lasted about 3 days and then melted away - we hope they come back.
Spring flowers
By the end of January 2016, the primroses around the club hut have started to flower and also the cherry plum in the Bird Cafe.

How cool would it be to wake up tomorrow, head to your closet to get dressed, and… pull on a loose-fitting t-shirt? (Cue the opening notes of "If I Were a Boy.") Maybe you normally only wear one when you're relaxing at home or going to sleep, but what about making an oversize tee glam for day (or night)?
Nowadays, it's pretty much the norm to see trendsetters and street-style mavens alike mixing oversize t-shirts with skirts, red lips and look-at-me heels, leather jackets, you name it. (Also, see here: the ultimate cool-girl tee.)
If you've got a non-uniform, creative kind of work environment, t-shirts can be acceptable there too.
The trick to making it work for you? Get a good quality cotton tee with a fun saying or gorgeous print (I got this one from blogger Sincerely Jules's site on sale over the holidays) and pair it with dressy pieces like a blazer and faux leather leggings.
If you're feeling bold, tuck it into a pencil skirt for work or do the half-in-half-out tuck with dark-rinse, high-waisted denim for a night out. Layer on some gold necklaces and all of a sudden your t-shirt is all chic!
T-shirt, Sincerely Jules (other fun options here and here); boots, American Eagle; blazer, H&M; gold star necklace, BaubleBar; giraffe necklace, J.Crew; leather leggings, Victoria's Secret.
Xoxo, H

Home sweet home..
Here are the photos I promised of our new place! We settle in just under a month but when we actually move in will depend on when this little baby decides to arrive. (It's going to be a crazy few weeks when we have a baby and move house at the same time but I promise I will not complain a single bit!)
Tom and I had our heart set on buying a weatherboard house with wooden floorboards inside, a decent kitchen, a bit of space outside for kids to run around and room to build a little veggie patch. We had been researching different areas around Perth and prices since we moved here over a year ago so we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted.
Although I have to admit that while this house ticked all our boxes, it's not the type of house I thought we would end up buying.. Tom and I both really love old rambling places with overgrown gardens and lots of character. We both found this house a bit too "clean" and we were devastated to learn that the house used to have about 4 beautiful mature gum trees in the garden that had been pulled out before it was renovated.
But, we decided that buying a simple, clean house provides the perfect canvas to create the type of home we want from scratch. We can't wait to cover the walls in artworks and have a garden full of trees and veggies and do all those little things that will help turn this house into a home.
(The first thing I am going to do though is remove those ridiculous letters from above the bathtub!)

Oh Katie- this is gorgeous!!! So, so happy for you! I totally agree about older houses- we own a little miners cottage built in 1890 with a lot of character. Its wonderful, but has a lot of annoying quirks. This looks perfect! xx

Hey !!
So freaking excited! Sorry I haven't written an email for a while but you have been in my thoughts. The house looks fabulous! You have found a gem. It's my style (yes I am jealous)..You will have your hands full in the next few weeks but it will be awesome. Take Care..

It is just gorgeous! I too love older timber houses with floorboards. We are inthe middle of pulling up carpet in ours- and low and behold there are polished boards underneath!m: ) love it! As for the veggie patch, you might find using the raised beds made from water tank materials would work- you could just put some on top of the paving! Enjoy all the good times ahead. X

I love it! Especially those leadlight doors! Though quite plainly decorated, think of it as the perfect blank canvas. At least all the hard work is already done and there is plenty of scope in the garden for more trees (without the worry that a gumtree will come down in a storm!) Exciting times for you :)

Oh Katie, it's lovely and don't worry because the 'character things' you were hoping for can all be added along the way once you move in. I think it's already pretty darn cute, but you'll be able to add more character and create a welcoming, warm homely place for your little family. I can already picture you on that lawn with Sophie running around and your precious bub next to you on a rug :) I can't wait to see the little touches you add to make it your own xx

oh my goodness. that is pretty much my dream house :) I'm so happy for you guys! What a super exciting time! i'm so glad you'll be moving into your own place soon - and it's so wonderful that you'll probably be there just before baby comes!

hahhaa, I am with you on the letter-decor in the bathroom. but that kitchen! that porch! what a gorgeous place!

this is a gorgeous blank canvas to work with, I'm sure you will make it homely in no time. I have to agree on the letters though, I never really did get that whole labelling thing. Obviously it's a bath, right?
- July 27, 2012 at 5:04 AM
It's so beautiful. There is nothing quite like a weatherboard. I laughed at what you wrote about the word bath. I just don't understand that decorating concept. It's not like you are going to forget what room you are in and where the bath is. Maybe you just need to add an arrow pointing down to the bath.
Very exciting times ahead. It will be amazing when you move in. Fab kitchen too.

yay! it looks gorgeous :)

But how will you know where the bath is if you take the letters down?

What a beautiful home! Congratulations x

It looks lovely and it looks like you have plenty of yard out the front and beautiful roses. Our curent house didn't have everything I would have liked (like timber floors) either but plenty of other benefits that other houses in the area didn't and way more affordable. We had pavers everywhere too and no trees so that is a work in progress but I have sold a lot of the pavers off on ebay so you could do that in time and convert the cash into plants. I am working on creating a jungle where the pavers used to be. I love the kitchen too - good luck with everything!

It looks so lovely! A perfect blank canvas for you to make your own....without the tears of a reno!. And with a new bubby..so, so liveable. Just move right on in. SO very excited for you and your delightful little family. Soak up all this magic lovely girl :) x

You don't need anymore stress with the home purchase and what I see is a clean beautiful first-home. You are very lucky indeed. All it needs is the love of a new family.
Minus those letters which spell the obvious :)

More than two million students across the nation will learn how to code thanks to a Seattle-based organization that is on a serious mission to teach kids about computer science.
Code.org today announced partnerships with 30 schools districts — including three of the top 10 largest districts in the country — that will allow teachers to use the organization's free computer science courses in elementary, middle and high school classrooms starting this fall. Funded by hundreds of donors, the non-profit organization will provide curriculum, professional development and mentorship support for teachers.
"We are delighted to bring computer science to our classrooms through our partnership with Code.org," Robert Runcie, Superintendent of Broward County Public Schools in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said in a statement. "This is a transformative moment for public education, where we must develop the ability of our students to learn new things and apply their understanding to solve real world problems. Computer science brings all of this together for us."
Founded last year by brothers Hadi and Ali Partovi, Code.org offers free online learning courses that have been popular thus far, with more than 500,000 students signing up for the intro to computer science course in just one month. Code.org also hosted an "Hour of Code," event this past December that encouraged kids to spend one hour learning how to code and reached 10 million students — half of them girls.
Check out the full list of partnering districts here. Washington-based districts include Bainbridge, Bremerton, Central Valley, Cheney, East Valley, Enumclaw, Highline, Shoreline, Spokane and West Valley.
On top of today's announcement, Code.org has many more goals for 2014: Reach 100 million more students, have 100,000 teachers host an online course, and push 70 more districts in the U.S. to implement computer science courses.

HTML5, the End of Flash… Yeah Not so Much!
As if some kind of unstoppable Zombie, Flash continues to push on, playing a continued and prominent role for developers and ad builders. HTML5, the supposed solution to the bandwidth hogging evils of Flash, and the champion to many in the ad tech community, continues to struggle achieving full adoption or hit critical mass in the development world so much so that Ad tech companies are building new tools to help integrate HTML5 into established Flash apps.

Food and Nutrition Service,
Food and Nutrition Service,
A staggering 15.3 million American children live in food insecure households. Right here in our own country, maybe even in your own neighborhood, there are children who have become used to living with the sounds of a growling stomach. These are kids who aren't lucky enough to be picky eaters; who don't have the luxury of asking "What's for dinner tonight?" but instead, ask "Are we having dinner tonight?" (more…)

Thank Goodness It's Falafel-day! Just as much as we are excited about Fridays, we are excited falafels as well. Why? Because Team Daily loves food!
These tiny dumplings of perfection are a blessing to your tastebuds. There's nothing like devouring these delicious, supernatural dumplings that instantly satisfy hunger, look amazing and taste even better.
Whether in a wrap, in a sandwich or on their own, this Middle Eastern delicacy is more like street food but can be enjoyed whenever, how ever and where ever.
The ingredients of falafel do not largely vary and primarily include chickpeas, fava beans and spices. What really varies are the spices and that makes all the difference.
Craving for some already? We are here to help, as always.
Presenting to you, in no particular order, the top five Falafel places of Vancouver –
Jam Jar – Oh, Jam? Jar? Yes, Jam Jar. Hold on, this place is not about jams but instead authentic Lebanese food. Located on Commercial Drive, this restaurant serves falafel both in a wrap as well as in a platter. The potato munchies served with the falafel plate spell Y-U-M!
Nuba – With locations in Yaletown, Gastown and Mount Pleasant, it is impossible to not know Nuba if you are a true foodie! Their Falafel lunch platter steals the show. Olives, hummus, salad and falafel, this is the real deal, we say.
Koala Kebabs – Falafel platter with rice? Yes, please! Their falafel wrap is a Downtown star but the platter is even better. The bigger, the better, you see 😉 Oh, you get to choose your sauces, btw. Hummus, Garlic Mayo, Spicy Mango, mmmm, choices are plenty to choose wisely.
Mediterranean Greens Salad Bar – Salad Bar? Looks can be deceptive. Another Downtown star, their falafel platter comes with pita bread. Yay! for all bread lovers. A fulfilling meal, have it slowly to enjoy every single bite.
Falafel King – Doesn't the name say it all? Their falafel sandwich comes with your choice of soup or salad. Carrot or lentil soup? Either one because they both taste perfect with their wrap.
With so many options to choose from, how about we have falafel everyday for the next few days?! (Yeah, just one Friday in a week dedicated to them is so not enough).
So, what are you waiting for? Head off on a falafel expedition and enjoy your weekend! 🙂

It is common knowledge that we must take regular care of the home our loved ones need for shelter. It is also well known that we must also take care of our work place so that it can provide the sustenance we need. Unfortunately, the community our homes and work places depend is often neglected by far too many of us. This is why it's so important we encourage our friends and neighbors to get involved in community organizing.
Will you volunteer?

New Eastern Market Food Grants AvailableBy Amanda Lewan on July 15th, 2015 /
Eastern Market has announced a new round of grants open for up and coming food entrepreneurs.
A part of the Citizens Bank's Growing Communities program in partnership with MEDC, these grants provide support to local vendors, farmers, and entrepreneurs. More than $550,000 has been invested by Citizens Bank and the MEDC so far. Right now $60,00 from Citizens Bank and $150,000 from MEDC are available through the Growing Communities program.
"We're excited to be partnered with Citizens Bank for a new round of the Growing Communities grant program and the strong support provided by MEDC," said Randall Fogelman, vice president, business development, Eastern Market Corporation. "This effort has helped so many small Detroit-based businesses that often don't have access to capital, grow and prosper."
Grants awarded through the program will help food businesses grow by purchasing necessary equipment, acquiring new land and hiring on new staff. Last year 32 food businesses, many who sell their products out of Eastern Market, were able to grow through these grants.
Growing Communities is part of Citizens Helping Citizens Strengthen Communities, Citizens Bank's program that contributes to the economic vitality of the communities it serves. Citizens Bank was previously known as Charter One. Check out these food business grants available here. The application deadline is August 21, 2015 and grants will be awarded by October 2015.
