Launching a home business is a lot of work, but you will be rewarded for your efforts. A home business gives you what you give it, and at first you must give it a lot of time. In time, your business will come into its own, but in the beginning, you may feel like you are failing. Just like all other types of business, hard work is going to have to be done to get you where you need to be.
If you have to drive a lot for your business, make sure you monitor your gas mileage and keep receipts for whatever gas you use. Such expenses are fully deductible. However, you must prove that that driving is essential to the profit of your business.
Make sure you can sum up your business with a few choice words. If your business purpose can be summarized well in only a few sentences, it can impress prospective clients. This can also be your slogan and help you sell your business.
It is wise to have a business line and a personal line for your phone service. Your message recording must be professional, and you want to ensure that no one else in your family takes your work calls.
Become a part of a forum of home business group online. In addition to chatting with others in your position, you can also create a name for yourself. You don't know where you can make a sale or what the right contact can lead you to.
Invest in obtaining some business cards. You can usually find many good deals on business cards, and sometimes you can even get them for free. Include all of your contact information and your logo. Your cards should also provide online contact info, like your site URL and your email. This will make you easy to get a hold of.
Select a business name which means something to you. You must buy the domain name for your website the minute you know what you want it to be. Do this even if you haven't open your business yet. There are a lot of domains that cost no more than $10 a year, and you need to grab them before someone gets to them. When you are still trying to decide whether you need a full website, post a page that has all of your business information on it.
Your business objective is a short description about your business, usually two to three sentences. You should state exactly what your goals are with your business and what it is about. In this paragraph, include what makes your business stand out from the competition and what you hope to accomplish.
Especially at first, you may feel that things are taking too long. This is normal! Not everyone just gets rich in a day. If this were the case, tons of people would be doing so. Running any business takes hard work and dedication; but, with patience, you will see your home business develop into the successful company you always imagined it would be.…

This means that you need to use the software on your own purposes with none cost.

In laptop science and software engineering , laptop software is all information processed by laptop methods , packages and knowledge.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In advance of attending the 51st Annual NAREE Real Estate Journalism Conference in Denver on June 14 - 17, Purplebricks Group plc (AIM: PURP) ("Purplebricks" or the "Company"), the hybrid real estate agency that has enjoyed immense success in the United Kingdom and Australia, today announced that it will commence its ambitious United States expansion, identifying California as the first launch state, later this year.
Purplebricks' highly differentiated business model combines local market real estate experts with a proven technology platform to make the entire process of buying and selling a home more convenient, transparent and cost effective. The Company's compelling value proposition provides consumers with the opportunity to save thousands of dollars with a competitive flat fee—without having to sacrifice exceptional service—and by giving real estate agents the resources to build a unique and highly scalable, profitable business.
Purplebricks is targeting California for its US launch due to the state's strong housing and economic fundamentals. According to data compiled by the California Association of REALTORS® and other publicly available information pertaining to US homes sales, California ranks #1 in transactions nationally with total sales commissions exceeding $11.5 billion. As it builds a strong brand presence in California, Purplebricks intends to expand into other key US states via a controlled roll-out strategy with a plan to accelerate coverage, as required. Purplebricks has recruited Eric Eckardt, a real estate technology veteran, to serve as its US CEO and position the Company for long-term success in the market.
In preparation for its US launch, Purplebricks will soon begin engaging hundreds of highly experienced, full-time real estate agents across California who demonstrate extensive local market knowledge and a passion for customer service. Known as Local Real Estate Experts, Purplebricks' recruits will undergo extensive training that covers all aspects of the Purplebricks platform to ensure the highest servicing standards.
Importantly, Purplebricks' Local Real Estate Experts will have the opportunity to earn more and work more effectively, benefiting from the combination of territorial exclusivity determined by zip code, lead generation from high impact TV-led marketing and technology that frees them up to spend more time with customers. Purplebricks will offer its Local Real Estate Experts sell-side and buy-side opportunities. Real estate agents interested in joining the Purplebricks team are encouraged to email their resume to email@example.com.
Commenting on the news, Purplebricks US CEO Eric Eckardt, said:
"Purplebricks is launching in the US, with a distinct offering, which aims to offer a better deal for customers and a compelling opportunity for highly skilled, experienced Local Real Estate Experts. Our plans are progressing well and we remain on-course to launch in the second half of 2017."
Michael Bruce, Founder and Group CEO of Purplebricks, said:
"We are absolutely delighted to be moving forward at pace with plans for what will be an exciting US launch. We will be giving sellers and buyers a unique and seamless experience. We are looking to recruit the very best real estate agents who want to be highly successful and who want to spend their time helping and supporting customers rather than prospecting for leads. We will provide them with a stimulating customer centric culture and market leading support to help them build scalable, profitable businesses."
About Purplebricks Group plc
Purplebricks is a leading next generation estate agency in the UK, combining highly experienced and professional Local Property Experts (LPEs) and an innovative use of technology to help make the process of selling, buying or letting so much more convenient, transparent and cost effective. Purplebricks is transforming the way people perceive estate agents and estate agency. Building on its UK success, Purplebricks launched into Australia in August 2016 and in February 2017 announced plans to enter the US market.
Unlike traditional agents, where customers only pay upon the sale of the property, which effectively means that those that do sell pay more in order to cover the costs of those that do not sell, Purplebricks believes it is more equitable that everyone should pay, charging a flat fee at instruction. This helps to avoid the industry issue of those that are merely 'testing the water' and underpins the low, flat fee model.
In the UK Purplebricks charges £849 (inc. VAT) for a sale anywhere in the UK other than in London and surrounding areas where there is a charge of £1,199 (inc. VAT). There are additional charges if the customer wants Purplebricks to undertake the viewings on their behalf, if they require an energy performance certificate or a Rightmove premium display, amongst other services that are available. The business model is low cost, flexible and cash generative, without the need for an expensive leased estate. LPEs are self-employed and receive a flat fee per instruction and can earn additional fees from the sale of ancillary services including but not limited to conveyancing, mortgage referrals and insurance.
Purplebricks listed on the UK's AIM market in December 2015, raising £25.0m (c.US$32m) of growth capital before listing costs and other expenses at 100p per share. In February 2017 Purplebricks raised an additional £50m (c.US$65m) before expenses through a share placing to fund US expansion. Purplebricks currently has a market capitalisation around £1.0bn (c.US$1.3bn).

Garmin-Sharp announces 2013 lineup with plans to build on success, train next generation
The 2013 roster is Garmin's youngest crop of riders to date
BOULDER, Colorado (VN) — Team Garmin-Sharp unveiled its 2013 roster on Friday with plans to build on its past successes while also developing its next generation of riders.
"We had our strongest season in the history of the team in 2012, with our first grand-tour win at the Giro, and we'll be looking to build on that success in 2013," said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Slipstream Sports.
"Our roster has an outstanding mix of new and returning riders, but with a focus on the next generation of riders. Slipstream's roots are in developing young talent and with additions like Rohan Dennis, Lachlan Morton and the return of Caleb Fairly, we're poised to continue that tradition and fortify the future of cycling."
Dennis, the 2012 under-23 Australian road and time-trial national champion, comes from a track cycling background and has the world-championship medals to show for it. Finishing fifth overall in the 2012 Tour Down Under illustrated his potential for success on the road.
Countrymen Morton and Steele Von Hoff are graduates of Slipstream's developmental program and rode as stagiares for the team in 2012. Von Hoff made the podium at stages in the Tour of Britain and Post Danmark Rundt.
Fairly, who rode for SpiderTech-C10 in 2012, is another product of Slipstream's development program, netting one of its biggest wins in the 2010 Tour of the Battenkill.
Finally, veteran Nick Nuyens brings an impressive list of results with him from Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank, including victory at the 2011 Tour of Flanders. The Belgian classics specialist will join stalwarts Ryder Hesjedal, winner of the 2012 Giro d'Italia; sprinter Tyler Farrar; and stage racers Andrew Talansky and Dan Martin.

There is some business insurance you must have to do business. This includes workers' compensation for any employees, professional liability if required for your profession, property and business interruption and commercial auto insurance if your business uses cars, vans or trucks. You can see what other similar businesses have with this guide.
The next insurance you should consider will be connected to your contracts. Your employees need to be bonded and insured, and if you take public contracts, there are many insurance requirements.
You should also consider providing health, life and disability insurance to your employees and yourself. This may not be mandatory in your state, but it will go a long way to creating happy employees and brand loyalty, which can only be good for business.
Liability insurance protects you if your customers are injured on your property. It will pay compensation, medical bills, settlements and court ordered payments for injuries. If you manufacture, distribute or sell a product, you need product liability insurance.
If your business relies on customer information such as credit card numbers and other personal data that is stored in a cloud or in your office machines, mobile phones or iPads, you will be safer if you have cyber liability insurance. Cybercrime is growing, and identities are being stolen. If you lose customer's personal information or are hacked and the data is stolen, you will be liable. You will be responsible to follow breach notification laws and to cover expenses incurred because of lost or stolen personal data.
Even with excellent budgeting and learning about different coverage for your business, you may not be able to create a package that is right for you. An insurance agent can do this, but you need to find a good one. You can talk to friends and colleagues to find agents whom they prefer, but you should interview several before selecting one.
To begin, find a local professional organization, the Better Business Bureau, your local Chamber of Commerce or a major insurance company to get connected to an agent. Then, ask questions about the different types of coverage. Also, take note of the questions they ask you. This will give you an idea of how serious they are of making sure you and your business is protected. You can also ask about group rates and discount insurance options. Bring your business plan to the initial meeting. This will give you a head start and help you avoid insurance you don't need.
There are other ways to save money on business insurance. As with other types of insurance, a higher deductible will reduce the monthly premium. Just make sure you have that amount always ready in case of an emergency. You can also ask your agent about ways the insurance company recommends to reduce risk. Reduced risk means lower monthly premiums. The simplest way to reduce risk is to have a written safety policy for your business. It will be even better if a third-party safety agency does this for you.
Before you find and talk to an agent, be prepared. This will give you your best chance for getting the right coverage at the right price. Once you have selected your business insurance package, make it a point to review it with your insurance professional annually. As your business grows and develops, your needs may change, and you may need less or more coverage, or coverage of a different kind.
Scott Crawford writes for Insureon.com, an insurance brokerage that helps businesses understand their insurancd needs.

Yaoundé, 12 September 2017 (ECA) - Cameroon's minister of trade, Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, has described the upcoming meeting of the Inter-Governmental Committee of Experts for Central Africa (ICE2017) as "an excellent initiative," given its focus on promoting industrialization, regional integration and the consumption of products made in Central Africa.
Mr. Atangana was speaking during a meeting with Antonio Pedro, Director of ECA's Sub regional Office for Central Africa, on 12 September 2017 in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Mr. Pedro told the minister that the choice of the theme for the 2017 ICE, "Made in Central Africa: from a vicious to a virtuous circle," was ECA's way of responding to the decision taken on 23 December 2016 during the Extraordinary Summit of Central African heads of state of government to diversify their economies as a means to reducing the region's vulnerability to external shocks and dependence on the export of raw materials.
Both personalities agreed that Central Africa's rich endowments in natural resources and the market opportunities that the operationalization of the Continental Free Trade Area (CFA) would create provide the necessary fundamentals for sustainable structural transformation and job creation in Central Africa.
They discussed progress made by other RECs in promoting intra-Africa trade, noting that "Central Africa is lagging behind other sub-regions, but that its success stories should be emulated and replicated for scale and transformational change." They also concurred that "by maximizing trade in intermediate goods and fostering backward and forward integration, countries in Central Africa will benefit more from trading with each other than with the external world."
The Minister of Trade stated that with a population of more than 150 million, Central Africa provides a "big enough market" for all its member states, "especially if we effectively promote free movement of goods and services."
He cited a "positive example" of Cameroon, which imports palm oil from Gabon for its refineries that produce vegetable oils and soap. "We need to do more of this," said Mr. Atangana who then deplored the fact that Cameroon's textile industry does not benefit much from the country's cotton production since, "only about 4% is transformed locally. The rest is exported."
Mr. Atangana said ECA's continental knowledge and expertise in structural transformation and trade issues will be of great benefit to Cameroon and the entire Central African sub region.
Against this backdrop, Mr. Pedro congratulated Cameroon for its ongoing efforts to promote locally produced goods in supermarkets and other strategic areas around the country. "This is in line with our own vision at ECA," he added.
The ECA director reassured the minister of ECA's support, stating, "ECA is available to provide evidence-based analyses on the potential of free trade areas within Africa and also support all other efforts to boost economic diversification and the productive capabilities of countries in the sub region. We look forward to collaborating with you and your ministry in advancing this agenda."
Addressing the media after his meeting with the minister, Mr. Pedro said:
"I was pleased with my meeting with the minister. We share the same vision and agreed that it is essential to redirect our efforts towards the promotion of economic diversification in Central Africa through resource-driven and trade-induced industrialization. So we've found a very good partner in Cameroon."
ICE2017 will take place in Douala from 26 - 29 September 2017. It provides opportunity for high-level policy makers, captains of industry and other stakeholder to reflect on how to create resilient and globally competitive economies in Central Africa through the promotion of local production and consumption

When I strolled through Trastevere for the first time, I was twelve years old. If you had asked me then if I could imagine studying there, I probably would have laughed – this city was like a museum for me, a monument for observing and adoring, not a city to live and study in. On my second trip in Rome, if you had asked me the same question, I would have rolled my eyes. At that time, I was busy applying to several universities in the U.S. and other parts of Europe.
Despite the fact that I was accepted to all of these other universities, I ended up applying to, getting accepted at, and ultimately choosing to enroll at John Cabot University.
For years, I had been intrigued by the thought of living and studying with a group of interesting, diverse people. My love of art, nature, culture, sports, and theater, along with a fascination for far-flung places and people, has always been a part of who I am.
In other words, I was looking for more than valuable knowledge from my time at university; I was looking for a certain kind of life experience. I found what I was looking for in a place where all the roads lead, and where ideas can be freely explored.
My heart beat faster when I read about John Cabot's Theatre Society, the Model United Nations Society, and the Film, Media, and Communication Society. Even better, when I visited campus, I read some of the notices on bulletin boards across the university, and I was simply amazed. Do you want to work out? Go to the Fitness Center. Want to join an excursion? No problem, JCU organizes trips (for example, sightseeing trips to Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast) and activities like cooking classes or seeing a ballet or opera. Want some experience in your career field? I marveled at the variety of internship opportunities posted. I am certain that as an undergraduate student at John Cabot University, I will be working on the development of not only my mind, but also my soul.
As I stood on the Ponte Sisto and watched the Tiber River flowing below, I felt an incredible spark burning inside of me – I understood that John Cabot University was the place I had been looking for perhaps all my conscious life. I had noticed that there is a kind of breathtaking magic in the seven-hilled city, which I felt but didn't understand. While visiting the JCU campus, the illumination finally hit me: Rome is not only a place with a great past, but also one with an incredible presence and exciting future – simply think of the thousands upon thousands of people who come to visit the Colosseum each day. It's a truly international environment – both Rome and John Cabot University – where cultures, ideas, and people meet. I had the chance to talk to such friendly and competent members of the JCU community, both staff and students. They were honest, welcoming, and helpful, which made me immediately feel like a part of the John Cabot family.
I have visited Rome three times in total. And, luckily, each time I tossed a coin into the Trevi fountain to guarantee my return. My next journey to the Eternal City will be this August. However, it will be not a holiday, but a new chapter of my life as a John Cabot University student.
Remember the ending of Woody Allen's To Rome With Love? (No, I don't mean the debut of a singing mortician, in the shower, naked.) There is a wonderful glimpse of the Spanish Steps, where the Italian man says: "I stand up here, and I see everything. All people. I see life. In this city, all is a story." There are many stories. And this is, I believe, the message to me and to all incoming JCU students – now, it's our chance; our time to create our story. Let's make the best of it.

BRAMPTON, Ont. - The Sheridan Bruins women's basketball team (10-10, 8-6 OCAA) built an 18-point first quarter lead and never looked back in a wire-to-wire 90-69 win over Lambton.
"It was important to get off to a good start and we certainly did tonight," head coach Willie Delas said. "I would like to see us defend better for a full 40 minutes though. The deeper into the season we get, the more crucial it is to maintain as high a level as we can for as long as we can."
Holding a 12-4 lead early, the Bruins went through a sequence where they connected on a barrage of four 3-pointers in less than three minutes.
They led 29-13 after one and used a 12-0 run in early in the second quarter to open a 45-19 lead, on their way to holding a 24-point cushion (51-27) at the break.
Although the Double Blue didn't quite play up to the level they did in the first half, they never allowed Lambton to trim the margin lower than 20.
Brianna Stewart tied her career-high with 26 points, while Theresa Brown (22), and Sydney Charvis (19) were also in double figures.
Winners of five of their last six, the Bruins are now in the conversation to host a crossover playoff game, but face a crucial contest in that bid when they travel to Niagara (9-5 OCAA) on Jan. 31.
The Knights won the first meeting 82-74 in Brampton on Nov. 28.
Blue notes: The 90 points scored was the highest total posted by the program since Feb. 12, 2012 when they defeated Sault 96-50.

We offer a range of tailored marketing workshops to help you devise a marketing strategy plan, define buyer personas and recommend digital marketing content. This will help you to plan an automation strategy and to implement new sales systems.
These are all paid services, however we also provide a unique free service to all of our clients: our one-day marketing workshops.
These are free events available to all JDR clients and are an opportunity for you or members of your team to spend a full day improving your knowledge about all aspects of online marketing.
In addition you'll also be well refreshed with tea, coffee and snacks, and a hearty lunch!
We aim to put on a free workshop once or twice every year, and try to hold them at times which will make them accessible for people, avoiding summer holidays for example.
Each event location varies, but we have previously held events at the Leicester Marriott hotel – a professional venue central in the UK and easy to find via the motorway.
We held our first client workshop in 2012 and decided to introduce them as a value-added service and give our time to you at no cost. We have maintained that policy ever since, as we found that clients that attend the days will get better results. The only costs are incurred by the venue itself – for example the Leicester Marriott has a cost for the lunch and refreshments, although the parking is free.
If you are unable to make it, firstly see if you are able to send a delegate from your business who would also benefit from the day, otherwise just try and make the next one. We strongly recommend making time for these events though. We understand how important taking care of day-to-day business is but prioritising a day to improve the internal functions of your business can move you significantly forward ahead of your competitors.
When we set a date for these events we will; notify you via email, advertise the date on our events page of the website and also inform you through your account manager. So make sure to check your emails, and on the events page and keep asking your account manager!
If you are not a client, but would like to attend a similar event, we also run a range of events from short seminars to full day marketing workshops – you can find out more by going to our events page.

ADRENAL EXHAUSTION: The Chronic Stress Response and What You Need to Know
By:Dr. Marianne Beck
We live in a hectic and "stressed out" world. Life seems to move at a faster pace than ever, leaving us no time for ourselves—no time to relax or just have fun. Everywhere you look, people are 'running around like chickens without a head", going from one errand to another, driving to work and sitting in traffic, dealing with the kids, the in-laws and the 'outlaws", giving up on taking vacations, talking and texting on cell phones and computers 24/7, Tweeting and FaceBooking into the wee hours of the night—the list goes on and on. We seem to be "dragging' all the time waiting for the weekend and when the weekend comes, we collapse on the couch-- too tired to do anything. "Stressed to the max" and "I'm on my last nerve" are now common expressions in society. But, this comes at a price. Constant and chronic stress takes a toll on our health.
Stress comes in many forms. Emotional stress such as overwork, a family death, divorce, loss of a job, anger, fear, lack of sleep etc.There are dietary stresses from consuming alcohol, eating too much sugar, fast foods, food additives and colorings and eating inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy and soy.And then there is stress in the form of tissue damage, inflammation and pain from head injuries, whiplash, liver toxicity, gastrointestinal infections, arthritis, surgery and illness. When all of these stressors come together in an individual, the adrenal glands can not keep up the production of stress hormones. They eventually "burn out" and chronic illness ensues.
Your adrenal glands are walnut size glands that sit on top of each kidney. Your adrenal glands help you cope with stress and survive. Your resiliency, energy, endurance and your very life depend on the proper functioning of your adrenal glands.When you are under stress, whether good or bad, your adrenal glands produce a surge of cortisol, DHEA and adrenaline which is protective in the stress response. But, when stress is ongoing, excessive and poorly managed, cortisol levels continually rise. If the stress continues, your adrenals can not keep producing adrenal hormones and you head toward adrenal burnout!
The Three Stages of Adrenal Burnout
Stage 1:Adrenal Stress/Hyperadrenia
When you are under high levels of stress, your adrenal glands produce more of the stress hormones cortisol and DHEA.Normally when the stress is over, the adrenal glands have time to repair and get ready for the next stressful event. If your stress remains high and chronic, your stress hormones remain high for a prolonged period of time, your adrenal glands can not recover and over time the adrenal gland's ability to make cortisol and DHEA diminishes.
Stage 2: Adrenal Fatigue
If a person stays in Stage 1 and under high stress conditions for a long period of time, the production of cortisol and DHEA is compromised and begins to decrease. Depending on the individual, a person can have high cortisol levels for many years, however, prolonged stress will eventually cause a decrease in cortisol and DHEA. Chronic stress will then cause adrenal burnout as a person enters stage 3 or adrenal exhaustion.
Stage 3: Adrenal Exhaustion/Hypoadrenia
In this stage, the adrenals can no longer produce cortisol and DHEA in adequate amounts to allow the body to repair and recover. It is in this stage where we see extremely low cortisol and DHEA levels. Chronic fatigue and brain problems such as depression and memory loss are hallmarks of Stage 3 adrenal burnout.
Why Should I be Concerned with Adrenal Exhaustion?
Most doctors never think about the chronic stress response, adrenal exhaustion and how they cause major health problems in our society.Cortisol is responsible for so many of the body's functions. Low cortisol and DHEA levels impact the female hormone production of progesterone and estrogen and testosterone function in males. Female hormone symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, low sex drive, infertility, mood swings, craving for sweets and other menopausal symptoms can be related to adrenal malfunctioning. Abnormal cortisol levels are also related to increased back, neck and joint pain as well as osteoporosis and arthritis. Our adrenal glands also are responsible for protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism and the "muffin top" associated with middle age stress! Proper cortisol and DHEA levels are necessary for normal brain function, memory, learning and proper sleep cycles. Imbalances in cortisol and DHEA lead to depression, anxiety and neurodegeneration. Since one of cortisol's main jobs is to raise glucose levels, high cortisol is associated with high blood sugar and diabetes and metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). Chronic adrenal stress effects the functioning of your hypothalamus and pituitary gland which direct the production of thyroid hormone.
Adrenal Function and Your Immune System
One of the most important aspects of our adrenal glands is to regulate our body's immune system through the manufacture of SIgA (secretory immunoglobulin A).
SIgA is a thin mucous layer that lines all the internal mucous lining of the body, which forms a barrier that protects us against infection from yeasts, parasites, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, toxic chemicals, heavy metals and food antigens that cause food sensitivities. With low SIgA levels in the gastrointestinal tract, we are more prone to "pick up" a parasite, pathogenic bacteria or yeast infection in the gut. We can also have reactions against the foods we eat! Large protein molecules from dairy, wheat and soy, among others, enter the GI tract and get into our blood stream where they don't belong, and cause inflammation and food intolerances. It is the lack of SIgA protection that eventually leads to what is known as "Leaky Gut Syndrome". When small holes are made in the mucous membranes with a leaky gut, this allows pathogenic organisms and food antigens etc to enter the blood stream. This sets up an immune reaction as our white blood cells attempt to kill these foreign invaders. It is this mechanism that leads to autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's Thyroid, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, Graves Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and others. If cortisol levels are abnormal then the production of SIgA is low. This is why we get sick so easily when stress levels are high. To summarize, chronic stress causes adrenal exhaustion and a depressed immune system which leads to gut infections, food intolerances and leaky gut syndrome which eventually leads to autoimmune disease and chronic illness.
Now For The Good News!
If you think you may be suffering from any of the 3 stages of adrenal problems,
Adrenal Stress/Adrenal Fatigue/Adrenal Exhaustion, the good news is that you can easily find out by doing an Adrenal Stress Index Test. This is a one day saliva test done at home and sent to a laboratory that specializes in adrenal gland testing. Once you know what stage your adrenal glands are in, then a program consisting of lifestyle and diet redesign and taking specific adrenal supplements tailored for your adrenal stage, should be considered. It would be nice if fixing adrenal problems was a 'one size fits all" solution, but it is not that simple. For instance, some exercise is always good, however, it is a stressor to the body. Some stages of adrenal fatigue require hard exercise and others require less strenuous exercise like yoga and Pilates.
The best way not to fall into the sinkhole of adrenal problems is to:
Eat three balanced meals and two small snacks every day
- Get to bed by 10:30 PM
- Do light to moderate exercise (think: walking and weight training)
- Don'tconsume stimulants like caffeine and sugar for energy
- Decrease alcohol consumption and get sugar out of your diet
- Take time for rest and relaxation (even if you must schedule it!)
- Don't sweat the "small stuff"
- Take adrenal supplements specific for the "stage" your adrenals are in
If you are having problems with chronic fatigue, depression, weight gain, insomnia, female or male hormone issues, gastrointestinal problems or if you just feel wired and tired, an Adrenal Stress Index Test may be the best thing you could do for your health.

Australias droughtbuster scheme chooses Rotork
Posted: Monday 9th June 2008
Water is front page news in Australia as it has become obvious that drought, climate change, population and consumption growth have combined to make the countrys future water security a major social, environmental and political issue.
The Northern Pipeline Interconnector is a key part of the Queensland state governments emergency drought strategy and will play an important role in the areas water distribution grid to connect dams, weirs and other water storage sites.
Australian valvemaker John Valves has been awarded one of the largest contracts on the project including the supply of fourteen 1000mm high pressure mainline gate valves. Manufactured at Ballarat, all are either motorised with Rotork IQ70/IB12 actuator and gearbox combinations or fitted with Rotork Gears IS11 / AS5 dual input manual gearboxes.
Jeff Quarrell, National Sales and Operations Manager for the valve division, describes the mainline valves as: arguably the most important in the pipeline structure. Rotork actuators have a long and successful track record for reliable, low maintenance service in the harsh extremes of the Australian climate. We especially like the speed and efficiency of non-intrusive commissioning provided by the Rotork IQ, together with the ability to download and analyse valve operating data to minimise routine maintenance. These were all important considerations for us and the customer when we put together our total valve package for this project, which was won against stiff competition from other Australian and international companies.
The Northern Pipeline Interconnector is being constructed by the Southern Regional Water Pipeline Alliance, a joint venture between Abigroup, KBR and McConnell Dowell Constructions. With the potential capacity to transport 65 million litres of potable water a day, the pipeline will link existing and potential future water sources throughout Australias Sunshine Coast.

WASHINGTON — Most of the Lehigh Valley's congressional delegation supported a wide-ranging spending bill crafted to keep the federal government operating.
But that doesn't mean they liked the highly dramatic, last-minute process of moving that bill forward or some of the provisions that were crammed in during negotiations over the 1,600-page bill. Those ranged from a controversial change loosening banking regulations to a provision renewing tourism areas like the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.
"It's not the bill that I would write," Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., told reporters Friday. "But on balance, I think it accomplishes some big things."
The only Lehigh Valley lawmaker in the U.S. House to vote against the bill was Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-17th District.
As late as Thursday evening, hours before a midnight deadline to approve additional funding, it was unclear if the House of Representatives could pass the spending bill. That drama continued Friday in the Senate, where lawmakers debated until late in the evening and pushed a final vote until Monday.
Both Pennsylvania senators, Democrat Bob Casey and Republican Pat Toomey, were expected to support the measure.
To avoid a shutdown, Congress passed measures that maintained federal funding until next week, giving the Senate additional time to wrap up its work.
The spending bill faced an obstacle in some Democrats, including Cartwright, whose district includes Easton and other parts of Northampton County. They were frustrated by a section that would ease reforms that limit how banks trade derivatives and other complex securities. Those financial securities were blamed in part for the 2008 financial crisis.
Cartwright was unavailable for comment Friday regarding his "no" vote, but he said through a spokesman that "the legislation places the interests of Wall Street investment bankers ahead of regular American working families."
The freshman congressman also opposed a section allowing individuals to donate more money to national political parties, spokesman Shane Seaver said. The additional money can be used for certain expenses, including paying for the presidential conventions.
As Democrats bemoaned the banking and campaign finance changes, House Republican leaders struggled for votes among more conservative members like Rep. Lou Barletta, R-11th District, who wanted to use the funding bill to show their disapproval of President Barack Obama's recent immigration actions.
Barletta, whose district includes portions of Carbon County, said Thursday afternoon that he was leaning toward voting "no" because he opposed those executive actions, which will temporarily halt deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants.
He wanted the spending bill to defund the Department of Homeland Security. Instead, the bill pays for the agency's operations through February, when Republicans will control both chambers of Congress and could vote to limit the president's actions.
In the late-night House vote, Barletta ultimately backed the legislation. He said afterward that he decided it would be a better strategy" to fight over immigration policy next year once the Senate majority officially flips to the GOP.
"Speaker Boehner personally promised that I will be at the table when our new policies are set, so for all citizens who are rightly concerned about amnesty, I will be serving as their eyes, ears, and voices," Barletta said in a statement Friday.
In an interview as House leaders were scrambling to see if they had enough votes, Republican Rep. Charlie Dent, whose 15th District includes much of the Lehigh Valley, said he supported many of the policy provisions tucked into the 1,600-page bill. But he noted that "the more we put in, the harder it is to get votes."
"Is this bill perfect? No. Does it make progress? Absolutely," said Dent, a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Through his committee role, Dent pressed for including money in a number of areas, including for cancer research, a crime victims fund, and national heritage areas.
Pennsylvania has five of the national conservation and tourism corridors, as well as seven other state-designed areas. The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor spans five counties, stretching from historic sites in Scranton south into the Lehigh Valley along the Delaware and Lehigh canals.
Dent touted those funding provisions and a procedural win: sending the president a spending bill means that the next Congress won't have to immediately jump back into a debate over government funding. Instead, the GOP majorities can get to work on other priorities.
Both Dent and Toomey defended the banking regulation change targeted by Democrats. Dent argued that the regulations put in after the 2008 crisis limiting how banks can trade derivatives hurt manufacturers and other businesses that use those tools to hedge against risks.
Toomey said the legislation's provision to loosen those rules was "wildly mischaracterized" by Democratic opponents. He said the changes would give banks "a slightly better approach" to managing their risks.

Hidden in an affluent coastal suburb is 'Vodka Palace' a luxurious concrete cave, tempered with natural timber finishes and primed for premium culinary, audio and visual pleasure. It is the result of a very strong collaborative process between client, architect, builder, sub-consultants, sub-contractors and suppliers. The architect was the Producer, the builder was the Director, the client wrote the script, and the sub-consultants, sub-contractors and suppliers were the invaluable technicians and artisans that pulled the vision from the ether into a 3D reality. The spirit of this project was one of its greatest joys, all worked together harmoniously to manufacturer a resolution and it is this fact in which I take most pride. Enduring relationships have been forged and I see the end result as not my own but the combined efforts and inspiration of everyone involved.
The client is a close friend and a unique paradoxical individual. One part reclusive and one part party queen she wanted the seclusion and ethereal quality of a cave to escape into that satisfied all her needs without having to really go anywhere else, yet also at a moments notice she wanted to be able to invite the world in and entertain close friends and family in style. The palace is designed functionally to be a chameleon at the press of a few iPad buttons allowing her to create different audio and visual lighting effects depending on the occasion and mood required. The kitchen and scullery are decked out with premium European appliances complete with dumb waiter to the undercroft below to haul up groceries and a semi- hidden side access to deliver cocktails and food to a Teppenyaki Bar on the rear entertainment deck via a custom made drinks trolley. When you realize that she had her first restaurant at 19 and has owned and managed nightclubs and a hotel over her career it all makes perfect sense, it is her natural environment … and she just happens to make a damn fine vodka Moscow Mule. Hence the use of a full height Sky-Frame sliding door system to open up the back of the house to the rear entertaining deck allowing her to stack the doors in any direction to welcome the world into her sanctuary.
The coolness of off-form concrete warmed by timber finishes and a neutral colour palette create a moody mix that evokes a serene, ethereal almost Zen-like experience. The owner has noted that the home feels to her like the "warm, secure and loving embrace of a strong muscular man". Augmenting this is the use of the ancient Japanese technique of charring timber known as 'Shou Sugi Ban' on columns to inspire a minimalistic zen like interpretation of a burnt forest and also on the timber privacy screening using charred Accoya.
Externally the client wanted to feel like she was in the bush of her beloved second home the south west region of Western Australia where she once owned and managed an iconic hotel and this was created perfectly for her by Tim Davies Landscaping with native trees and shrubs representative of the region.
The owner was drawn to other off form concrete homes in her suburb and communally it resonates with the coastal location by reflecting the concrete kiosks and amenities typical of many local beaches, many of which are also strong almost brutalist forms. As fate would have it, I had also recently received an anthology of Tadoe Ando's work, as an unexpected gift and thereby the course was set.
A party at the palace is planned soon.

Multiplex history
Denis #1
Hello all,
Does anybody have any historical article or reference about the juggling technique we now call multiplex ?
Personally, my big reference about this topic is Sergeï Ignatov, the first I saw on TV when I started juggling, who threw several clubs at a time in a juggling pattern. Then, several jugglers and former students of CNAC extensively used this technique with clubs in the 1980-1990s. I can also think of the Gatto Multiplex within a 5 or 7 ball cascade.
Only starting a pattern by throwing several props at a time, then not using multiplex within the pattern, also counts in my opinion as a multiplex (i.e Kris Kremo with 3 balls), although I don't think it expresses the same level of integration.
My intuition is that this technique could be a marker to help defining certain juggling historical periods : holding more than one prop in the same hand is / is not called juggling according to context.
Any other thoughts or info to share ?
Thanks !
Chinko performed a ten ball multiplex as early as 1904 and an 8 ball multiplex before that.
Other jugglers did multiplex back then as well. Charles Carrer was very good at an eight ball multiplex.
David Cain
Thank you David for these great references.
Still I have the impression that this technique has been used a lot more in what I would call contemporary juggling (post-90s french) but is it just an effect of my point of view ?
i don´t think one should use multiplexes as a marker in juggling history as it falls together with the exploration of many other techniques like flats, slow singles, contact with non spheric objects, the rise of flow arts… most of which have been known and juggled before I believe the historic marker is not the single technique itself but the trend to research and develop non traditional toss juggling, an enviroment were developing new tricks was valued higher than practising known ones, and likely a increase in the number of jugglers in generel which lead to more techniques beeing researched deeper. Also to me the multiplex technique doesn´t significantly chance the concept or juggling. with toss juggling you throw multiple things up, catch them again and repeat, with multiplexes you are doing the exact same thing so in comparision with other techniques that were developed around that time and knowing the skill itself is not "new" i wouldn´t value multiplexes as significant in juggling history
The earliest reference of multiplex that I can recall, is WC fields being very irritated at a midget for being able to juggle 8 balls in pairs. This could be pre 1900. There are also references to Cinquevalli doing multiplexes with balls, in the IJA newsletter I think is the source of that. So multiplex seems to be as old of a concept as that of "juggling" being something you do with objects (rather than singing or storytelling for an example) as this was established in the late 1800s.
I think a bigger historical marker would be that of broken down juggling. i.e. Patterns with throws that are made by choice and not forced by an incoming object. As far as I have understood, the first to do a routine like that would be Didier Andre, but perhaps you know more about this than I do Denis?
"broken down" might actually be a more appropriate term for what I'm trying to categorize, which implies a lot of multiplexing even within 3 ball juggling. I'm thinking of the Jay Gilligan TedX which talked about this.
I'm not sure who the first could be, only the first thing I can remember was Tim Roberts talk about his work with his student Jörg Müller with clubs around pattern ([24x],2)(4,2)% – but at the time they didn't use siteswap – naming it seriously or not "the future of juggling", probably around 1990-1991. Like a sort of "reference to the cascade" instead of just "the cascade". Then you have much more time to include movement, body tricks and manipuation than during a normal cascade. It's possible Didier André worked on this a short time before,
Thanks everybody for your interesting contributions.
I assume you mean ([24x],2)(4,2)*
I would agree that is a very significant and well used pattern of the Broken Down family. Love the name "the future of juggling", I will definitely call it that from now on! I had no idea it was around so early, but it does not surprise me and neither does the people who did it!
% and * are two different things to me as in old Prechac articles but that's another topic
Please educate me, since I have never seen the % in use. What is the difference between * and %?
one of my references is here, sorry it's in French and very old
" % " means "now do the same thing but with swapped left and right" in other words "on the other side"
" * " means "hurry" which means "throw the prop again straight away without dwell time"
in certain cases in could be equivalent but honestly I have never dug into this question enough.
I just find that the sign % represents the idea of swapping sides better than * .
Using the * for "mirror pattern" seems to be the norm, at least in the English speaking juggling world.
I googled "synchronous siteswap explained" and the first 4 pages that show up all mention an asterix (*).
According to Jugglewiki and the Jugglelab manual the asterix was introduced by Ben Beever:
(chapter: Symmetric Patterns)I have certainly not seen the % symbol before and know that all my friends use the *. Although possibly confusing, hurry notation with a * and mirror notation with a * could probably coexist, I glanced over the link you gave and the asterixes are only added after single throws, never after a closing round bracket ).
Sorry for not contributing to the multiplex discussion /offtopic
a frenchie like me hails Prechac only !

ExxonMobil takes its environmental remediation responsibilities seriously. Our goal is the same as the community's – to remediate the petroleum contamination stemming from our historical operations in Greenpoint as quickly and safely as possible. We will be in Greenpoint until the job is done and done right. Remediation projects such as the one in Greenpoint – where petroleum products are underground and not easily accessed – simply take time to complete, and remediation is expected to continue for a number of years. Throughout this time, the health, safety and welfare of those living and working in the Greenpoint community are our number one priority.
The John Ericsson Magnet School for Environmental Engineering seeks to spark student interest in real world application of STEM principles through its Air and Space Science Club program. The year-long program provides students with the chance to explore space science and various aeronautics topics created by NASA.
The Northeast section of Greenpoint is the site of petroleum contamination from multiple contributors that accumulated over more than 100 years. To date, more than 8.9 million gallons of product have been recovered by ExxonMobil, and a total of more than 12.9 million gallons recovered overall.
From the ironworks and shipyards of the 1840s, Greenpoint and ExxonMobil have a long, shared history. By 1900, more than 50 refineries were in operation in the area, several of which likely contributed to the petroleum contamination underneath Greenpoint. The ongoing remediation of this contamination is a complicated process, and ExxonMobil uses the best proven technology and careful planning to ensure a safe and effective recovery.

We recently spent two weeks at XJTLU supporting new staff with the Certificate in Professional Studies (CPS) in Learning and Teaching programme. The visit was hard work, but a very rewarding and stimulating experience. Working with colleagues at the XJTLU Learning and Teaching Enhancement Office we were given a new purpose-built teaching room in the new 'hub' central building on the campus.
The visit consisted of:
- Two introductory sessions about the CPS programme.
- 16 learning and teaching workshops.
- Eight presentations/professional dialogues.
- General support for questions and queries about the programme.
- Wider discussions with managers to discuss how XJTLU could develop its support for learning and teaching as the institution grows and develops.
Reflections on the programme delivery
The workshops were well attended and typically consisted of between 12 and 24 staff. Giving participants time early in a workshop to get to know each other works really well in this context. Many staff are very new to the institution and can have limited opportunities to meet and discuss learning and teaching issues with peers.

Regarding automated liquid filling equipment, you may ask, "What is a Monobloc?" Industry experts define a Monobloc as a fully-automated, integrated liquid filling machine that performs multiple functions: filling, capping, stoppering, over-capping and labeling functions. Monoblocs are also going through somewhat of a required renaissance. Given the variety of products, complexities of applications, as well as new, emerging customer needs, Monoblocs are going through a transition as it relates to design, finish and overall function. The following will discuss a few interesting trends with Monoblocs over the years.
Depending on the customer or application, today's equipment manufacturer must be able to provide a standardized solution, as well as one that's customized from the ground up. It can be a challenging proposition, but for those agile enough manufacturers with flexibility and innovation built into their processes… it can be a very rewarding one.
And as the need for more flexible solutions continue to grow, they also need packaging systems that can easily integrate with other ancillary solutions. For instance, Monoblocs are now better equipped to incorporate different types of labeling solutions… within the system, outside the system, standard, vertical vs horizontal labeling… you name it, today's Monoblocs needs to be able to adapt and work on a variety of levels.
Commodities (i.e. Containers, bottles, vials/etc.)
Monoblocs can handle a large range of commodities – anything from 1ml up to 1-liter. Most of the time you will see Monoblocs executing smaller fills with smaller commodities (e.g. vials, microvials and microtubes) with small screw caps.
Nowadays, you see equipment manufacturers hearing more and more requests for their Monobloc to handle a wider range of commodity sizes. The more different commodities a filling machine can handle, the better the justification is for the cost of the entire liquid filling system. However, one of the challenges with multiple sized containers on one machine can be the growing number of changeover parts, as well as time in changing over from one container size to another. The flexibility may justify the overall direction, but these are all things one must consider.
Due to fielding a wider array of containers, a Monobloc may become larger in footprint. You will certainly have more changeover parts, but now may have to better assimilate potentially larger changeover parts (e.g. a larger turret). You may ask, "so what, what does a larger turret impact?" Depending on commodity sizes and fill volumes, a larger turret may make your Monobloc run at a slower speed, lower throughput – given that particular size commodity. Dealing with varying speeds, fill volumes and different commodity sizes can pose somewhat of an engineering challenge, but it's certainly an achievable end-deliverable when discussing Monoblocs solutions.
Metering Systems (Pump types)
Monoblocs can be installed with different types of liquid filling metering systems. This includes piston style pumps that go all the way down to small micro-liter fill volumes. Typically, a Monobloc executing a very small and accurate fill will use a small rotary piston pump. Of course, you have the ability to integrate other metering systems depending on the application.
Over the past few years, manufacturers are seeing an increase is peristaltic pump use. There is no cleaning validation required with peristaltic pumps since they are single-use tubing. Typically Monoblocs with peristaltic pumps are used by the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, but their popularity is increasing with the perceived changeover benefits.
End-User Requirements
As with any liquid filling project, the primary consideration is what are the end-user requirements? That is, what is the objective of the project?
Is it a challenging pharmaceutical application? Does the project require a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filtration system? Do you need an extremely accurate fill? Does your fill volume need to be visually inspected via sensor?
Space and Size
When you consider what a Monobloc does, it would seem like it should take up a lot of space… and some still do. However, Monobloc footprints are trending down. That is, customers are dealing with less and less space within their facilities, so it's an ideal selling point, end solutions that can fit into tight spaces. The trick is reducing the footprint of a Monobloc without losing any of its robust features.
When choosing a Monobloc, the main reason a company would choose this style of machine is for liquid filling automation. More and more customers are thinking long-term and costs across the board, so they are making strategic decisions in reducing the number of operators that it takes to execute their production. How much automation is necessary to achieve that objective is up to the customer.
Bottle design is another important thing to think about with Monoblocs. What type of bottle, size, and shape are you going to be filling?
Monoblocs for the most part can handle a wide variety of different bottles. Like we discussed above anything from 1ml up to 1-liter in size. Monoblocs can fill glass or plastic bottles easily.
A newer trend that's occurring is seeing more airless pumps bottles (Airless pump bottles move upwards and pushes the product up through the cap) being used. These are ideal for thicker products like lotions, creams, gels, or even different types of medication since these have a thicker viscosity as well.
HEPA Filtration
Manufacturers are also experiencing a growing request for more High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration units on Monoblocs. HEPA filters help remove 99.7% or more of particulates in the air, making for an extremely clean environment for filling.
HEPA filters are typically mounted on top of the Monobloc and push the clean air down. We normally see HEPA filtration units installed on pharmaceutical, diagnostic and even some biomedical applications.
Manufacturer's Enhancements
Over the years, liquid filling machines, Monoblocs in particular, have seen improvements in fit and finish as well as their overall design and aesthetics.
Monobloc Design Updates
Nowadays, a Monobloc can look like a piece of metallic art – extremely shiny, mirror-like finish in some instances, as well as encompassing state-of-the-art technology. In some instances, you may find it hard not to look away after gazing at a well-designed, beautifully put together Monobloc.
Manufacturers are also offering more versions of Monoblocs in the form of Tabletop Monoblocs or Mini-Monoblocs. Given the overall cost and size of a system, coupled with potential limited floor space, it's a throwback trend that we are seeing more on the market today. This movement will likely continue as customers want more automation in a smaller footprint with an affordable price tag.
Another updated feature that isn't so much new, but you are seeing more and more use of servo-motors. A servo-motor is specially designed motor that helps with linear positioning during the filling/capping process. These types of motors help place and torque screw caps on containers. Servo-motors allow specific torque-specs to be met on screw caps. This way you know each cap is torqued correctly so there is no spillage. This process also allows for a substantial amount of data to be recorded and analyzed as well.
In general, the liquid packaging industry is ever-changing from year to year. Therefore, do we see Monoblocs going through a natural evolution, or an end-user and manufacturing revolution? The answer is, "Yes!" We see the needs of current customers continue to develop in exciting ways as their product line grows. We also see a new audience coming from those new and emerging industries. They too have interesting new products that require a whole host of different considerations when discussing their liquid filling needs. It's a challenging, but exciting time for equipment manufacturers. New industries, emerging markets, bold, new customers with exciting products, what better time is there then now to be creating these bold, new and innovative solutions.
For over 65 years, FILAMATIC has been successfully serving the Pharmaceutical, Diagnostic, Medical, Biotech, Health/Personal Care, Cosmetic and Food/Beverage industries.
