"Every decision is a trade-off. Doing one thing means you can't do another. Leaders can do anything but they can't do everything. In deciding what you'll do, you choose what not to do."
~ Dr. Tim Elmore
This is something I've been re-learning recently. Sometimes you have to say "no". You might really want to do something, but if you decide to do it, you have to be willing to say no to something else. Continue reading

NASA were the first people to develop and use memory foam in their safety cushions. This technology was then used in the medical world to make patients confined to their beds for lengthy periods of time more comfortable. Although there are numerous uses of memory foam, the most common one is connected to a good night's sleep. Be it in pillows, cushions or mattresses, memory foam enhances comfort by adjusting to the shape of your body whilst reclining or sleeping. For this product review, we decided to focus on memory foam mattresses. Our group of testers focused on a great balance of comfort and support, minimal motion transfer, durability, foam density and more in order to bring you the highest quality mattresses that provide the highest quality sleep. Of course, comfort is subjective and whether you enjoy a hard or soft mattress, enjoy sleeping on your back, your stomach or your side, we have aimed bring you the best memory foam mattress guaranteed to help you sleep like a baby.
Overall Favorite: Leesa Queen Size Memory Foam
We were impressed with this product from the moment it arrived. This mattress comes compressed and rolled inside a cardboard box and reaches full size in no time at all. Speaking purely aesthetically, the Leesa mattress looks great , even without a protective sheet, and as soon as we saw the gorgeous stripe that runs through the middle we were excited to test it out. Not only does it come equipped with firm edges that enhance pressure point support, we found it to breathe better than other mattresses in the market. The Leesa mattress is covered in a moisture-wicking, polyester-lycra fabric and has a unique ridge pattern carved into the foam. The ridges are strategically carved between the other layers which prompt air flow. This increases breathability and helps with heat control for an uninterrupted night's sleep. On the whole our reviewers raved about this product. The only downside they found is that the mattress is just 10 inches thick and some people felt they needed extra thickness to increase how supported they felt. Leesa are renowned for producing excellent quality mattresses and since the company was founded in 2014 it has not once needed to use its 10 year full replacement warranty which speaks volumes about the quality that they provide. In addition, if you want to try the mattress, you have up to 100 days to receive a full refund- the kind of customer service that we love. At under just $900 this was one of the more expensive mattresses we tried however the foam quality speaks for itself and we recommend investing in the Leesa for an uninterrupted night of luxurious rest.
Best for Back Sleepers: Tuft and Needle Mattress
This firm mattress won the title of best for back sleepers. As soon as we removed the product from the box it began to expand which we liked. We heard that memory foam mattresses that arrive vacuum packed have the tendency to produce an unpleasant odour and unfortunately this was the case with the Tuft and Needle mattress. The strength of the smell did appear to evaporate after about a week however the remains of the smell seemed to linger for quite some time so we would definitely recommend letting the mattress expand outdoors. Most back sleepers claimed that this mattress was stiff and supportive and had good overall feedback, however, others that prefer sleeping on their stomach and sides complained of hip soreness and back pains. The mattress is breathable due to the adaptive foam that draws heat and absorbs moisture from the user's body and disperses it outwards, allowing it to naturally evaporate. We found that this lead to added comfort, and decreases the chance of sinking too deeply into the foam. Unlike other mattresses we tested, after a night's sleep, most reviewers noticed sleep-holes in the mattress, especially where there is most weight throughout the night. Initially, these holes faded however as time went on, they became a permanent fixture on the mattress even after flipping. There is a good 10 year warranty that comes with the product and Tuft and Needle also offer a full refund guarantee 100 night sleep trial.
Best on a Budget: Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress
The Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress has three layers of foam that improve pressure relief, comfort and support. The top layer is memory foam, followed by pressure relief foam and the bottom layer is 6 inches of high density base support foam. All in all, these layers blend together and provided a more rested sleep to nearly all of our testers. We found this mattress to be comfortable for those that sleep in almost any position without putting pressure on the back, shoulders and chest. Motion isolation is superb and different testers that sleep with partners claimed that they both felt equally supported and undisturbed throughout the night. Although the edge support provided wasn't the strongest from all the mattresses, it was of a high standard and we loved how you are able to comfortably sit on the edge of the bed without sliding. Unfortunately there are no temperature regulation features that come with this memory foam mattress which is why it didn't take our winning spot. In addition, we recommend using a mattress protector to avoid staining with this product. Although there is a 10 year warranty it is limited and there is unfortunately no free trial period like with other memory foam mattresses on the market. Last but definitely not least we must mention the price. At under $350 the mattress is around half the price of its competitors making it the most affordable mattress that we reviewed. The quality isn't the highest around however it is a very good mattress, that despite having no free trial or temperature regulation, is excellent value for money.
Best Long Term Investment: Casper Premium Memory Foam
The Casper Premium Memory Foam mattress is great for most sleepers. Both back and stomach sleepers found that it does an excellent job of moulding your body whilst being firm enough to prevent aches and pains and also allows you to comfortably move around and change positions. The fact that there is latex over the memory foam means that the mattress sleeps cool which is great for those living in a warmer climate. Reviewers loved that unlike other memory foam mattresses on the market, this one comes with a zipper meaning that the lightweight and breathable cover can be taken off easily and washed.The durability is good however at the price, we would have expected a much higher overall quality. In terms of motion transfer, the Casper Premium rated highly which is great for couples and sensitive sleepers. The warranty that they offer is also impressive. There is a ten year limited warranty which covers any defects in the material including sagging and splitting as well as a 100 day trail which starts the day you receive the mattress. Testers felt let down with the edge support as it wasn't as strong as other mattresses we tested however they did also comment that edge support isn't something that is high priority for many mattress purchasers. The four layer design works well and results in excellent pressure relief for a variety of weights. Like with other foam mattresses, this one did arrive with an unpleasant smell however it dissipated after around three days. On the whole, testers liked the mattress however they claimed that its simply possible to get something for the same quality at a much lower price.
The Bottom Line:
A good night's sleep is dependent on an amalgamation of factors ranging from room temperature to stress levels. Whatever the reason, if you find that comfort is constantly missing from your sleep routine then investing in a memory foam mattress is definitely the right decision. By testing the products we found that density is the most important factor to consider. The higher the density, the higher the durability, the lower the motion transfer and the more support and pain relief you'll get. This as well as the fact that the mattress is breathable with great edge support is why the Leesa Queen Sized Memory Foam mattress is our overall winner. Our reviewers loved the fact that although the price is high, you really do get what you pay for as the quality is superb. It was almost universally supportive and comfortable with incredible three layer foam technology which guarantees for a night of blissful, uninterrupted sleep.

It's a strange statement on media, or pop culture, or something, that I can watch the brains-bashing "Walking Dead" without breaking a sweat, and then be grossed out by this commercial.
Some things are just too awful to watch. The sight of kids smoking cigarettes, though repulsive, is a powerful component of the "Still A Problem" ad campaign being waged by ClearWay Minnesota.
Spokesman Mike Sheldon was quick to reassure me on the phone Tuesday that the child actors on the school bus only appear to be smoking. "All the smoke you see is computer-generated," he said. Even if only a special effect, the image is shocking – as is the statistic that 77,000 kids will use tobacco in Minnesota this year.
ClearWay Minnesota was established in the 1990s as part of the state's tobacco settlement. It's a research and advocacy group with money to spend and a limited lifespan; the organization is scheduled to disband in 2023. The tobacco industry, by contrast, intends to keep operating, just as long as it can get people to use its product.
Sheldon said the school-bus ad, produced by the local advertising agency Clarity Coverdale Fury, cost about $125,000. "To be effective, we need professional and well-done ads," he said. You can see others on the ClearWay website, but here's the one I like the best. It attempts to establish a link between smoking and the universal fear of carnies:

Defective Product Design: Risking Disaster in the Air
Manufacturers of airplanes, helicopters, homebuilt kits and component parts play a dangerous game. Sometimes they decide it just isn't worth the cost of designing safety into a product. The lives they risk are the pilots, crews and passengers on aircraft.
A fuel injector servo was installed backward and caused a fatal crash. A simple fix by the manufacturer would have made it impossible for a mechanic to make that mistake.
At Girardi | Keese, our trial lawyers have a well-earned reputation for facing manufacturers in court and holding them accountable for defective designs.
The FAA suggests minimum standards — and that's all.
The FAA's advisory boards are staffed with manufacturers' representatives. They don't want to put any extra burdens on their companies, so they keep FAA recommendations to a minimum. The result is often defective designs.
- Every airplane and helicopter design and component part should meet high safety standards. When an aircraft is in the air and in trouble, it is too late to deal with bad product design.
- We work closely with experts to investigate aircraft disasters. We use science and engineering to follow the clues left behind. Was it component failure, poor maintenance, design defects, pilot error or a combination of problems?
- To cut costs or to simplify the production process, a manufacturer may choose a design that is not as safe as an alternative design. Or the manufacturer may decide that a back-up system wouldn't be worth the trouble and expense.
The product defects attorneys at Girardi | Keese fight hard against defective design. We do not like it when a manufacturer risks other people's lives in the name of convenience and cost savings.
In addition to fighting defective product design in the courtroom, Girardi | Keese is playing an active role in Washington, D.C., to make the Federal Aviation Administration more effective advocates for safety and less dependent on manufacturers.
Contact us to discuss an aircraft accident. We represent clients in California, nationally and internationally.
We'll be in touch within 24 hours. If you have a legal matter you would like to discuss with an attorney from our firm, please call us at
800-401-4530 or complete and submit the email form below, and we will get back to you.

The young guys over at HaiTeq have been running into issues with Launchpad updating after installing software that wasn't bought on the Mac App Store. Because of this, they've figured out a workaround to force Launchpad to refresh its data base.
Removing the database files from the user's Dock application support folder and restarting the Dock allows Mission Control and the Launchpad to re-build the database from scratch, updating the presentation with all the new applications.
Here are HaiTeq's steps, with a few modifications on my part for safety. Admittedly, if you are not comfortable at the command line, this is not the hack for you.
- Launch Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities/Terminal).
- Navigate to the Application Support folder in question (cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock)
- Open the folder (open .) and drag all the .db files to the trash.
- Restart Dock (sudo killall Dock, followed by authentication)
I am not a Launchpad/Mission Control user and cannot verify these steps will reflect newly installed software. However, I did test them out for safety, and my Lion install is still working; my db file was instantly re-generated, and I did not find any harmful side-effects.
Please share your experiences in the comments.

Here is a link to Wikipedia: Moore's Law
Moore's law is the observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, the famous chip manufacturer Intel Corporation co-founder. The law dictates that about every 18 months, the number of transistors will be doubled, the performance will also be doubled, when the price unchanged; or that with an amount of money to buy a computer today, you can buy a computer which has double performance in 18 months later. Moore's Law summed up the speed of advances in information technology.
As you can see in the video above, it has well visualized the Moore's Law. Only 30 years, a computer from a mysterious giant monster has become an indispensable tool for most people. Information technology which was only available in laboratories has now been brought into countless ordinary family and the world been linked to the Internet, multimedia, audio visual equipment to enrich the lives of everyone.
Lets examine the Moore's Law by looking at the three main components of a computer: CPU, Memory, and Storage. Back to year 1982, we had 80286; 1985, 80386; 1989, 80486; and 1993 the first Pentium, then 1997 Pentium II. Nowadays, what do we have? We got a 2nd Gen Intel Core i7 at just about $200. With that $200; we can't even buy a floppy drive back then. Things are getting more powerful whilst prices getting lower and lower. At the same time, internal memory capacity expanded from 480K to 8M, 16M. Now, 16 Gigabyte is nothing so uncommon. In the old year, computer storage capacity was so limited. We all may remember Prof. Kent's story, how much he spent on a floppy drive and compare to how much we can buy a 2 Terabyte today at any store? We can see that there's a huge different in capacity and price only in a decade.
Moreover, the Moore's Law seems not only applied to computer components but also to digital electronic device like mobile phone, tv, and digital camera. The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras. All of these are growing in exponential rate and this growth trend will be continued.
We should keep in mind that Moore's law is not mathematics or physical laws but rather a trend analysis or forecasting. However, it is pretty accurate and effective. As we can see, technology is getting faster, more powerful, and more affordable. Some experts have argued that the law will eventually obstruct in near future, but let's assume they're wrong, then one day we should not be surprised when we see a computer like one appeared in the following video.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Florida jumped all over Jaclyn Traina early and held on for a 6-3 victory over Alabama as the Gators' captured their first-ever softball national championship.
Kristi Merritt and Stephanie Tofft each went deep for Florida, with Merritt's three-run shot the big blow for the Gators in a four-run second inning that chased Traina from the game.
Florida led 5-1 after the second and held on after that, with Alabama only really threatening with a bases loaded situation in the fourth when relief pitcher Delanie Gourley got Kallie Case to ground out to end the inning and end the threat.
Star pitcher Hannah Rogers, who tossed a shutout on Monday night, didn't get the start for Florida, but she finished off the victory with two solid innings of work.
Kevin Kugler and Leah Amico called the action from ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.

RATT Drummer 'Exhausted' With 'Unreasonable' Bandmates, Excited About Touring With QUEENSRŸCHE
Drummer Bobby Blotzer (pictured below) says that he is "exhausted" dealing with his RATT bandmates and insists that he is "very excited" about his new gig as a member of the singer Geoff Tate's version of QUEENSRŸCHE.
Tate, who was fired from QUEENSRŸCHE in June after fronting the group for three decades, recently sought to prevent his former bandmates from touring and operating under the QUEENSRŸCHE name without him. While ruling against Tate, the presiding judge determined that there was no legal reason why Tate couldn't also use the name with an all-new lineup of musicians.
On September 2, Tate announced that he was launching his own version of QUEENSRŸCHE with Blotzer, former QUIET RIOT, OZZY OSBOURNE and WHITESNAKE bassist Rudy Sarzo and former MEGADETH and KING DIAMOND guitarist Glen Drover. Also on board in the new group are returning QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist Kelly Gray — who played with the band from 1998 until 2001 and also produced several of their albums — and keyboardist Randy Gane, who has toured and recorded with QUEENSRŸCHE and Geoff's solo group in the past.
Addressing concerns from RATT fans about that band's future, Blotzer took to his Facebook page to write, "Hey peeps, I really appreciate the loads of positive feedback about the grouping with Geoff and company. A lot of questions about the state of RATT surfacing as well. Those should be directed in the direction the usual suspects in RATT's disappearance, Warren [DeMartini, guitar] and Stephen [Pearcy]. I've exhausted myself for two years with those two. I'm sorry for all the b.s. They have fed false info to fans. Not meant to be mean, just exhausted with unreasonable people."
In a statement posted on Queensryche.com, Blotzer said about his addition to the new QUEENSRŸCHE lineup, "Geoff and QUEENSRŸCHE and RATT have a long history of touring together and I am very excited about this new project with Geoff and the guys."
Tate and his wife, Susan, QUEENSRŸCHE's former manager, filed a lawsuit against Geoff's ex-bandmates on June 22 in King County Superior Court over whether he should be awarded the QUEENSRŸCHE name after being dismissed from the group in June. Their complaint states Rockenfield, Wilton and Jackson wrongfully fired the singer and are tarnishing the group's brand by attempting to move forward without him.

"The starting point was the eels," says Daisy Johnson. These strange creatures writhe in "headless masses in the last puddles" as the land is drained in the opening story of her debut collection, Fen, spinning us off into an uncanny world where an older sister can starve herself into becoming an eel, a dead brother can return as a fox, and a house can love a girl "darkly and greatly and with a huge, gut-swallowing want".
The result, wrote its Guardian reviewer, is is an original and gripping book, in which "boundaries shift and slide and myth and folklore seep up from the sodden ground and insinuate their way into her characters' solid-seeming lives".
Fresh from a morning of publicity photographs and signing hardbacks at the top of the shiny new Foyles bookshop on London's Charing Cross Road, Johnson ponders the real English Fens, the provisional landscape borrowed from the seas by a system of embankments and pumps. Born in the south-west of England in 1990, she went on to spend most of her childhood in the flatlands of East Anglia. She was, she says, "always aware that it had been somewhere that was fished for eels a lot … You fish for them at night, you wade into the water and there are these quite scary creatures. And then the idea that the water had been pumped away – so where did the eels go?"
It wasn't until she moved away, first to study English and creative writing in Lancaster and then for a master's in creative writing at Oxford, that she began to explore the strange country of her teenage years. "The landscape almost had to be diminished down into a memory for it to be something I could write about, because if you were sat in it, it would be too much … In a memory, particularly a childhood memory, it becomes almost a mythic thing."
Even before she sat down to write, she was clear that she wanted to push these memories beyond realism. "I think short stories are this perfect form where you can do really weird things and really weird things happen and, despite being small, they seem to be able to contain that really well," she says.
"Cormac McCarthy talks about starting The Road because he wanted to see if he could write a post-apocalyptic novel, and I guess it was a similar thing – could I write intensely strange short stories, but set in a world which felt like ours?"
But the vampires who pull on jodhpurs, polo necks and wellington boots to look for unsuspecting men in the Fox and Hounds, or the son who drains his mother of memory and language, are challenging for reasons beyond their author's technical resources. For Johnson, the strange allows a writer to "destroy something from the inside".
It's a project she first explains as being inspired by the authors she was reading and studying when she started working on the collection in 2014, writers such as Sarah Hall, Kelly Link, Karen Russell and Mary Gaitskill. "A lot of short-story writers are … creating stories that otherwise might be realistic, but have this seed of change in the middle," Johnson says, citing Hall's award-winning story Mrs Fox, in which a woman changes into a vixen during a woodland walk: "The transformation destroys the reality around it."
But the inspiration for Johnson's interest in change is more than purely literary. She is addressing a world where it is still notable that all of her protagonists are female, where it is still something of a reversal to find useless, dense men playing bit parts in dramas where women assert themselves and their desires needs to be subverted, Johnson says. It is "ripe for change, is ripe for transformation, ripe for rewriting".
She stops, waits, nods. The male-dominated stories we have told ourselves are missing such a large part of human experience that there needs to be space for alternative ones next to them, she explains, a space opened up by the irruption of the uncanny. "It doesn't mean that we shouldn't be writing about male characters, but women need to appear not only as mothers and partners, they need to appear as I-carrying figures in their own right."
Many of these characters are young women and teenagers exploring the emotional and sexual power of their incipient womanhood. "There's something about being a teenager – I remember it as being awful. I'm sure not everyone does, but it's such a strange time. Everything you look at, all the little bits, like going to the pub, are really weird, because you're going through this massive breakdown of person."
Johnson says she was never one of the teenagers hiding shots under the table in the local pub, or bumming a cigarette in the car park outside. "I was always very good. A lot of my work ethos comes down to guilt. I don't know if that's good, but that's the way it works. I never would have been one of those people, which is why maybe I can write about them, from an outside point of view."
The world in which these fluid figures live is riveted together with shards of everyday life: burnt beef and dating websites, box sets and the tree-shadowed dirt beyond the canal where the older kids go to drink. Strange things may happen in this landscape, Johnson explains, but "I always wanted it to feel like this was something that could happen to you".
The shifts that Johnson charts are part of the texture of 21st century life – if you're describing people on the cusp of adulthood then "it should feel that way, that gender is fluid, that sexuality is fluid", she says. The collection is also "rude, it's about sex, it's got swearing in it" – and as it makes its own transition into the public sphere, she's steeling herself for a broad range of reactions. "There are relatives who are reading it now who I don't think are going to like it," she says. "I didn't write thinking that it would ever be published."
She's already working on novel exploring another liminal zone – the network of canals that thread through post-industrial Britain. Mixed with the nervousness that makes Johnson sit up straight in her chair, measuring out each answer with stop-start care, is a confidence that the wide spaces of the fen have helped her to find her voice.
"I don't think I would have wanted to write a book that everybody liked," she says. "That would have missed the point."
Fen is published by Jonathan Cape, for £12.99 and is available from the Guardian Bookshop for £10.39

This page gives Crown Law opinions to clarify what should be included on the Land Information Memorandum (LIM) for former horticultural land.
How horticultural land can be contaminated
Horticultural practices, including the use of fertilisers and agrichemicals, can result in contaminants collecting in soil to elevated levels. If the land use changes, the elevated levels of chemicals in the soil could lead to health risks.
Crown Law opinions on what should be included on LIM
In response to uncertainty by councils and landowners over the interpretation of "likely presence of hazardous contaminants" (Local Government Official Information and Meeting Act 1987), the Ministry for the Environment released Crown Law opinions to clarify what should be included on the LIM for former horticultural land. These opinions are as follows:
- Crown Law advice, former horticultural sites, 14 December 2004
- Additional Crown Law advice, former horticultural sites, 17 December 2004
Land Information Memorandum (LIM) and Project Information Memorandum (PIM) are important mechanisms for making information available about contaminated land. People and communities, as well as business and industry, benefit from this information because it allows them to make informed decisions when buying or selling property.

This story appeared in Bank Digest.
Representative Scott Tipton (R-Colo) has reintroduced the Taking Account of Institutions with Low Operation Risk (TAILOR) Act (H.R. 1116), which is intended to provide smaller community banks and credit unions relief from "onerous regulatory compliance burdens." The bill would require federal regulatory agencies to tailor regulations to fit the business model and risk profile of institutions instead of imposing one-size-fits-all mandates.
Under the current system, according to Tipton, "regulations designed and intended for big banks are also applied to small community and independent banks or credit unions," and the resulting compliance costs "are often unworkable for small community banks." He added, "The TAILOR Act would allow federal regulators to better focus their oversight efforts, and allow small banks and credit unions to focus their time and assets on investing in their communities, helping to generate economic growth and job opportunities."

AUSTRALIAN Federal Police are expected to raid the Sea Shepherd ships on their return to Australian waters after clashes in the Southern Ocean.
Police are tipped to swoop when the ships arrive in Hobart in coming days, The Mercury reports.
The news came as the anti-whaling group yesterday said it hoped the whaling season was over as the Japanese fleet headed north.
The whalers were well out of Australia's whale sanctuary and Sea Shepherd Australia director Bob Brown said it was highly likely the hunt had ended with fewer than 100 whales killed, probably the lowest tally in 200 years outside world wars.
But if Sea Shepherd ships, which are tailing Japan's fleet, arrive in Australia - probably in Hobart - they are likely to face Australian Federal Police raids.
Australian National University professor Donald Rothwell said Japan was likely to request the raid after the incidents at sea involving Sea Shepherd and Japanese vessels.
"Given the events we've heard about, I'm sure Japan will have made a request for Australia again," Professor Rothwell said yesterday.
On top of that, if Sea Shepherd observer Paul Watson subject to an Interpol red notice is on board, he faces arrest if Japan requests extradition.
The whaling season is due to end this month and Dr Brown and Mr Watson said they hoped it had ended.
"(The fleet's) been steering north for two days now and moved out of the whale sanctuary," Dr Brown said in Tasmania.
"Both groups of Japanese ships are being followed by our ships.
"The whales themselves are beginning to migrate and the plankton is rapidly diminishing. It's very, very good news but not absolute yet."
The Institute for Cetacean Research said that it conducted its Antarctic whale research program under a permit issued by the government of Japan in accordance with the international convention for the regulation of whaling.
It has repeatedly said that Sea Shepherd ships have endangered the safety of whale research vessels.
Barring an early decision by the International Court of Justice, the whalers are expected to be back at work in December.
Professor Rothwell said even if the case began shortly, a decision was not likely until next year.
If the court did find in Australia's favour, he felt certain Japan would abide by the law.
"I find it inconceivable that Japan might ignore a ruling," he said.
The court has 15 judges and would decide whether or not commercial whaling was being carried out.
If so, it would be contravening international convention.

China's Ping An Insurance wants to raise its stake in Fortis to 7 percent, the Belgian-Dutch financial group's annual report showed on Monday.
China's second largest life insurer recently lifted its stake in Fortis to 4.99 percent from 4.18 percent and deepened their ties further by buying half of Fortis' asset management business for 2.15 billion euros ($3.4 billion).
"Ping An has declared that it ultimately wishes to obtain a 7 percent shareholding in Fortis, and Fortis has stated that it intends to explore possible means to that end," Fortis said in its annual report, made available on Monday.
Ping An took its initial stake in Fortis for $2.7 billion in November, as Fortis raised funds for its acquisition of parts of Dutch rival ABN Amro for 24 billion euros.
Chinese financial firms, flush with cash, have been seeking investments opportunities abroad to fuel growth and have done several deals as their western counterparts find themselves under pressure from the credit crisis.
With the asset management deal, Fortis got a much-needed cash injection to shore up its capital base, eroded by financing for the acquisition of ABN Amro's Dutch operations and asset management unit as well as subprime-related writedowns.
Ping An will have to seek Fortis's approval to increase its stake beyond 5 percent and 7 percent, the annual report said. Ping An will also be able to increase its stake back to 4.99 percent if the shares are diluted.
As long as Ping An holds its stake in Fortis, it will be able to appoint one non-executive director to the board of the financial group, which is based in Brussels and Utrecht.

Project Description
International Etiquette And Protocol Academy Of London
A Chic Site
"Europe's Most Trusted Establishment for Train The Trainer / Certification Programmes in International Etiquette and Protocol – an international presence in more than 60 countries"
IEPAL was the first institute to offer their services to youth and young adults which helped them cement themselves as a brand.
Main Goals
Build A New Site
The International Etiquette & Protocol Academy of London (IEPAL) wanted us to create a website for them that would function and operate better than their previous one hosted by Wixx.
Optimise SEO
For this site, they wanted us to ensure that the content within would help them achieve high level rankings across multiple search engines.
The Journey
We began by creating an entirely new site for the Company. The site was designed and coded by our in house team and led to a much faster and better user experience than their previous one.
The client had particular choices and wanted specific features on the site. This resulted in the site going through multiple changes and runs on a test server before we went live.
We researched keywords that related to the industry that were specific to the type of business, which helped us ensure a better search experience.
We developed and strategically placed the keywords throughout various pages on the site. This helped the site appear higher on Google search listings.
Once we had final sign off from client, we launched the site on our corporate servers, along with it going through rigorous testing.
What We Delivered
Fully Functioning Site
The site was able to load in full in 4 seconds. This was due to the seamless coding we created that was the mainframe of the website.
Optimised Content
The content marketing that we created for the site included all unique and in-house written articles.
High Search Ranking
We ranked various keywords on the first page. Many of these keywords revolving around the company and their USP. This was integrated into the optimised content that we created for the site.
To Conclude
The International Etiquette & Protocol Academy of London was very pleased with both our design and in house marketing efforts. We still manage the site and ensure daily visibility.
The SEO content that we created for their site has allowed them become more visible to their target audience.
We have been retained as their marketing partners and besides looking after their SEO, we also host and maintain their website.

Why Choose the Beasy "Premium" Transfer System?
The patented Beasy Technology places the user on a safe, stable seat. As the seat moves easily across the base of the system, not the user's skin. Consequently, shear forces and friction, present in some other transfer techniques and which cause or contribute to tissue breakdown, are eliminated.
How does the Beasy Transfer System help the caregiver and the patient?
It's a well documented fact. Lifting leads to injury. For example, patient movement tasks statistically place nursing personnel in the top percentiles of the U.S. labor force for back injuries. At the same time, the person being lifted is at risk for arm and brachial plexus type injuries as well as back injuries is tremendously reduced when lifting is eliminated. The frictionless, lateral slide is clearly the state of the art in patient transfers.
It's a proven fact! The Beasy is the most versatile transfer system on the market.
The design of the BeasyTrans Systems make it possible to apply sliding transfer technology to a wide range of transfer and therapeutic functions in both the clinical and home care environment. For example, strategic placement of the Beasy seat under a draw sheet allows a minimum number of caregivers to easily perform such difficult tasks as a bed to gurney supine transfer, and boosting of patients up in bed. Because the seat easily circulates a full 360 degrees on the base, both systems can be used for a range of motion exercises for hands, feet, or other body parts as seen fit by the medical professional.


text: Kill your darlings. It's a phrase you've all heard, but how many of you have been brave enough to be truly ruthless with your own writing, to cut in a big and bold ways when needed? How many of you have written a too-long manuscript and allowed an editor to go in and hack huge swaths of work that represented weeks, maybe months, of effort and tenacity to get on the page? Courageous writers do, but so do writers who understand the business of writing, and why too-long books are more difficult to sell. There are in fact readership, publisher, and cost considerations that factor into why the industry standard for the length of a book is 80,000 words, and I would argue that in today's publishing climate, less is more. Here's why:

a great book!
Princess and heir to the throne of Thorvaldor, Nalia's led a privileged life at court. But everything changes when it's revealed, just after her sixteenth birthday, that she is a false princess, a stand-in for the real Nalia, who has been hidden away for her protection. Cast out with little more than the clothes on her back, the girl now called Sinda must leave behind the city of Vivaskari, her best friend, Keirnan, and the only life she's ever known.
Sinda is sent to live with her only surviving relative, an aunt who is a dyer in a distant village. She is a cold, scornful woman with little patience for her newfound niece, and Sinda proves inept at even the simplest tasks. But when Sinda discovers that magic runs through her veins - long-suppressed, dangerous magic that she must learn to control - she realizes that she can never learn to be a simple village girl.
Returning to Vivaskari for answers, Sinda finds her purpose as a wizard scribe, rediscovers the boy who saw her all along, and uncovers a secret that could change the course of Thorvaldor's history, forever.
A dazzling first novel, The False Princess is an engrossing fantasy full of mystery, action, and romance.
Mom's review
Imagine being a Princess for 16 years and then having everything ripped from you, by your parents? The King and Queen receive a prophecy about their only child. She will die a violent death before her 16th birthday. They exchange her with another child, raise this child and call her their own for 16 years. When her 16th birthday passes, they literally call back their 'real' princess and throw her away. Makes you wonder what kind of person could do such a thing. I must admit I had no love for the king and queen. Nalia/Sinda, however, just stole my heart.
This book has a lot of twists and turns. It will keep you entertained. For a while, you won't easily recognize who is good and who is evil. There are wizards, magic and of course, a dashing earl's son.
Loved this story and hope for more!
Lucas's review
Ok, but too girly! Liked the wizards. It was fun when Nalia/Sinda discovered her magic.

D-day for the NCAA?
That's how some NCAA officials at company headquarters in Indianapolis, as well as conference commissioners and athletic directors across the country, might feel this evening in the wake of Friday's ruling by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken that the association's policies banning athletes from profiting from their own names, images and likenesses reflected an unreasonably restrain of trade.
Quoting an excerpt from Judge Wilken's 99-page report:
"After considering all of the testimony, documentary evidence, and arguments of counsel presented during and after trial, the court finds that the challenged NCAA rules unreasonably restrain trade in the market for certain educational and athletic opportunities offered by NCAA Division I schools...The pro-competitive justifications that the NCAA offers do not justify this restraint and could be achieved through less-restrictive means. The court will enter as a remedy a permanent injunction prohibiting certain overly restrictive restraints."
Kaboom for the NCAA amateurism model.
Kudos to Judge Wilken.
Yes, the NCAA's Board of Directors did take steps forward on Thursday by restructuring the voting powers and procedures of the membership to give the largest conferences greater autonomy that should ultimately help student-athletes cover the full cost of attending college.
And no, I still don't believe that the student-athletes should be paid-for-play in season as professional athletes are.
However, I have argued since September 2010 that student-athletes should be entitled to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL).
Now that the larger schools by virtue of the autonomy movement will likely be able to provide more grant-in-aid to student-athletes while they are in school, it is my hope that Judge Wilken's ruling will provide kids to a share of the revenues they've helped to generate after they leave an institution.
And if schools and conferences are smart with how they allocate income from NIL, they can try to entice gets to stay through graduation by offering financial bonuses for those that do. Similar to a "roster bonus" for pro athletes. And for those that leave early, well, they are leaving for multimillion dollar contracts in many cases, so not earning the additional bonus from graduating will amount to pennies for that select group of student-athletes.
Some more key notes from this story:
- What the NCAA has done for years is textbook Economics 101 collusion. Judge Wilken saw that clearly;
- For the NCAA to rest on the ideals of amateurism in the face of multimillion dollar media contracts is embarrassing, and to say it helps academics and athletics is delusional. This has and always been about cost containment...a salary cap to keep costs from further escalating out of control;
- Wilken's ruling does not order revenue sharing, but lifts the restriction that has barred Division I schools from doing so, and permits them to give student-athletes the full cost of education and up to $5,000 annually held in trust while they are playing. If students stay four years, the latter amount would amount to in excess of $300 million, said William Isaacson, the co-lead attorney for the plaintiffs;
- The plaintiffs gave up their right to damages in a pretrial move that meant the case would be heard only by the judge and not a jury. But even without monetary damages for former players the case was a battle over hundreds of millions of dollars in television contracts that attorneys for the plaintiffs said should be shared with the athletes themselves.
At the end of the day, it is my sense that there is another money in college athletes these days to provide a little more to student-athletes without having to cut programs, cease bowl games, and all the other doomsday scenarios espoused by collegiate blue-bloods overly wed to the old system.
Jerry McGuire once said "Show me the money".
Ed O'Bannon and his co-plaintiffs may not see that money, but they just showed millions to the next generation of student-athletes.

In addition to having an unsavorily long tongue and playing bass for KISS, Gene Simmons is also known for perennially running his mouth.
Despite this fact, the self-proclaimed businessman—and avid businessman endorser—still managed to shock by going after venerated music legends, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.
In a recent interview with Team Rock Radio, Simmons went into great detail as to just who does or does not qualify as a music icon. You know, because Gene Simmons is the go-to authoritative voice for determining such things.
After rolling out a list of Simmons-approved, bona fide music idols, he said:
"Kurt Cobain—no, that's one or two
records, that's not enough. Amy Winehouse—that's one or two records, that's
not enough. What, just 'cause you died that makes you an icon? No, no."
But who then who, you ask, gets the writhing-tongue stamp of approval? The "Love Gun" bassist explained:
"Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and just on and on. And through the '70s—Aerosmith, Kiss, Led Zeppelin."
Unfortunately, no one in the last three decades can be considered a music icon:
"Now from 1984 until today, name one superstar that's bigger than their music, and not just somebody that's recorded one or two records, but another Queen or another AC/DC? None, you can't name one."
We could start our own list of post-1984 music icons here, but we unfortunately do not have access to Gene's magical-voodoo-businessman music icon formula.
Hopefully he'll be back next week to school us on what is or is not a legitimate pizza topping.

Wonderland Then and Now
Let's discuss my 80s outfit, shall we?
What it lacked in shirt length, it made up for in oddly high waisted cut-offs. And the puff of hair atop my head? Seems I may be partly responsible for global warming as a result of my excessive use of Aquanet.
Even though photographic evidence screams dork, I'm convinced I was hot at the time. We strutted around the theme park like we were all that and a bag a banana clips. We'd arrive when the park opened and were the last to leave. One year it absolutely poured. They shut down most of the rides, but we didn't let it stop us from having fun. We ran around singing and splashing in the puddles like idiots. To avoid catching cold, we drove home in our bras and underwear—more comfortable for us, not as comfortable for the truckers passing us by on the 401.
Flash forward several decades (again, more hard math) and Tiff is now a busy mama of two and she hasn't been able to come out here for awhile. I look forward to the day when she and her family can all come to visit. Of course, Wonderland will be on the agenda.
In the meantime, I have a new theme park partner who shares her mother's love of roller coasters and Tiny Tim Donuts. This summer she and I were invited to visit Wonderland with a group of family bloggers.
We came to test out the park's newest attraction — Wonder Mountain's Guardian. Avery loved it. As in, she rode it over and over again. The child has no fear. In fact, she'd ride the biggest fastest coasters if she was tall enough.
I may be a full grown adult now, but as soon as I step inside the park gates, I feel like a kid again. Until I'm reminded of my ancientness when the kids are fascinated by this odd looking telephone system "we used way back then."
Well, I may have been roaming this earth for nearly half a century (I just fainted), but I'm still young at heart. Need proof? Take a look at some of the photos I took simply because they tickled my immature funny bone.
After we took a ride down Thunder (thighs) Run…. I dared a friend to ask the 'Wax Hands' guy if he could wax her moustache. She countered by daring me to ask him what other body parts we could cast. We chickened out but made a mental note to return later in the day to check out "Swing time." I was curious to see what kind of people showed up…
I think the other photos pretty much speak for themselves.

Spinal Stenosis Complications
Types of Spinal Stenosis
The type of symptoms of spinal stenosis will depend on the location of the narrowing in the spinal column. Lumbar spinal stenosis complications and cervical spinal stenosis complications are more common than thoracic spinal stenosis due to general spinal mobility and resulting wear and tear. However, where thoracic spinal stenosis occurs it may cause more severe symptoms as the nerves affected are responsible for innervating the lungs and other organs.
Causes of Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis may occur due to a variety of conditions, some of which progress slowly, some of which are the result of acute trauma and some which are the result of congenital or genetic defects. The cause of spinal stenosis has a major effect on the likelihood of complications from spinal narrowing becoming permanent or pronounced.
Severe spinal stenosis complications may include:
- Numbness
- Weakness
- Incontinence
- Paralysis
Acute vs. Chronic Spinal Stenosis
For instance, acute trauma to the spine that causes swelling and inflammation and resultant nerve compression (but no lasting tissue damage) may cause short-term complications with the symptoms of pinched nerves resolving as the swelling goes down. In contrast, pinched nerves from osteophyte growth, spinal slippage and arthritis in the spine may gradually become more severe and eventually, if untreated, cause permanent nerve trauma and chronic symptoms.
Severe Spinal Stenosis Symptoms
Lumbar spinal stenosis, and some cases of cervical stenosis or thoracic stenosis, can lead to complications such as muscle atrophy and weakness in the legs and even paralysis in severe cases. Loss of bowel or bladder control is another potential complication of spinal stenosis, as is loss of sexual function. In many cases the symptoms of spinal stenosis appear gradually and can be slowed down or resolved before such complications occur.
Early Action for Spinal Stenosis
Addressing minor symptoms of spinal stenosis is, therefore, important so as to avoid long-term complications where possible. Ignoring chronic back pain is neither easy nor a good idea as it may only require simple interventions such as a short course of physical therapy to successfully resolve those early warning signs of pinched nerves and spinal cord compression, whereas more severe long-term spinal stenosis complications could need invasive treatment that carries its own risks.

Welcome Aboard!
The 35' Baja Cruiser
Charter fishing is a great way to enjoy the company of friends, the outdoors, and build memories that will last a lifetime. The "Nooo Problem" is a state-of-the-art vessel maintained to the highest standards, and loaded with safety equipment. We offer the finest fishing tackle available which has been perfectly matched to the fish we target. If you are looking for the ultimate Door County fishing charter, look no further!
The Nooo Problem
The "Nooo Problem" is a state-of-the-art vessel maintained to the highest standards, and loaded with safety equipment.
Spacious Deck
It has the largest fishing deck of any I've seen in it's size class. The deck is where all the action is. In nice weather all our customers are out on the deck.
Perfect Size
It's a heavy-duty boat that easily handles waves, and no fly bridge to make it top-heavy. Sometimes you get really lucky, and we did with this vessel.
The Nooo Problem is 35 ft long, and includes a full 12 foot wide beam to give comfort and stability. The twin chevy 454's produce 800 horsepower which will get you out on Lake Michigan with safety and speed. Seating for six passengers with plenty of room to ride in comfort. The interior details include a dinette, and accompanying galley, with a microwave, two burner stove and refrigerator. The Nooo Problem features all state of the art electronic equipment for the safety and comfort of all passengers. All professional rods and reels with roughly 3000 baits to choose from. The Nooo Problem is U.S. Coast Guard licensed and approved, has fire extinguishers and easily accessible life vests for every passenger onboard.
Meet your Captain
Plan Your Trip
We believe in personal interaction between Nooo Problem Charters and YOU. Please give us an idea of what kind of trip YOU are looking for. We will then call you to confirm we have received your request and to confirm your dates are available. After a date has been chosen, a deposit is required. That holds your date for YOU. We accept checks or we can hold your date with a credit card. All major cards accepted. The remaining balance will be arranged the day of your trip. Prior to your trip, Captain Bill will call you with details of your trip and answer any questions you may have before we leave the dock on your Lake Michigan charter fishing trip.
We will provide everything you'll need for your Nooo Problem charter fishing trip. We are a full service fishing charter. At the end of your charter, the catch will be cleaned and bagged for you. All that is required is a Wisconsin Fishing License with a valid Great Lakes trout stamp. You can click this link to order your license online. Wisconsin Fishing License
Arrive on time and prepared to leave the dock. It is not necessary to arrive early. Your captain will have the boat "set-up" and ready at the time of your charter. It won't take but a couple of minutes to load your gear and board the vessel.
Most people know if they have a tendency for motion sickness. Be considerate of the other people in your group by taking the necessary steps ahead of time to avoid becoming sea sick. Patches applied to the skin to prevent sea-sickness are available from your doctor, and they seem to work the best. If you find that you don't feel "quite right" while on the water, don't wait to see if it goes away on its own. Let the Captain know right away. He will most likely have some suggestions that will help.
- Warm clothing, and your rain gear. Weather changes.
- Sun screen, hat, sunglasses, and a camera to capture those memorable moments.
- Comfortable, soft soled, non-marking shoes.
- Large cooler to bring your catch home.
- Bring what you need in the way of food, beverage and snacks. Just remember that this is a one day adventure, not a two week vacation.

Technical Tricks For Navigating the Rough Path to All the Right Restaurant Permits in Los Angeles
The sprawling and grand metropolis of Los Angeles has enough potential customers to keep a restaurant open for hundreds of years. Getting over the first few obstacles can cause even the sanest person to quit in frustration. There is no one restaurant permit. There is a collection of Restaurant Permits in Los Angeles that all new food businesses need to accumulate to legally operate in the city. Below are few clear technical tips for making the best of the necessary obstacle of getting the right permits.
Parking and Logistics
Parking needs to be mentioned because it often goes completely forgotten. It is also an issue that could cause a major setback. There needs to be a viable amount of parking space. If not, the entire project could be postponed indefinitely and even canceled altogether. Settle the parking matter upfront by getting a documented business plot layout. The parking room must be validated to the permitting firm.
Retail to Food
Any restaurant being converted from a retail space must apply for a Change of Use Permit. This is similar to a conditional use permit. A conditional use permit states that the property will be used for different purposes, perhaps on a seasonal basis. The former documentation is easier to apply for. The change will be generally permanent, so the state will approve it rather quickly.
The bathrooms are another essential component to the puzzle. Bathrooms in Los Angeles need to go through what is called an ADA access (handicap access, general easy accessibility). The bathrooms need to be positioned in the right way, so spaces hidden away in a corner and against a tight wall will not be approved. The issue can be handled with a quick sign-off, and does not require separate Restaurant Permits in Los Angeles. Regardless, it a sign-off that often falls in the cracks until the deadline closes in.
Browse our website for more on getting around the technical aspects of creating a restaurant business from the ground up. All these obstacles are important. They are keeping potential competition out, so only the most determined and the best survive the process. Consider hiring a permitting team to handle the administrative organization of all these small details.

Hi! Lynne here. Been a long time. But this post keeps wanting to write itself so I let it.
I have a little kid, so we watch a lot of whatever the latest kid movie is when it gets to Netflix, and sometimes that makes me want to stick my head in a bowl of sand to soothe my ears and eyes from whatever overwrought cheese we've been looking at. And other times, I wind up suggesting that thing that we've seen a million times because I also love it. That is certainly the case with "Moana", the story of a strong young girl who looks to save her island from starvation by going out on the sea to complete a task that will restore the sea's health and her people (I won't give it away if you have not seen it. But see it.). The art in the movie is beautiful, the music is singable and will be in your head for a long time, and the message of stepping outside of where you are now even if you are scared is one we all need to here. Moana's big number, "How Far I'll Go", has been sung by a million little kids who belt out this anthem of braving your fears to answer the call inside you, and it's the song that I want most to connect to because it's about really being yourself and the greatness that can be out there if you change your scenery.
However, for real though, the song from the movie that rings in my head the most lately is not "How Far I'll Go", but the song that it seems to answer, the song that comes before it. That's "Where You Are", a seemingly jaunty ditty sung by Moana's dad, the chief, that he sings in response to Moana's desire to leave their island home and go out beyond the reef surrounding them. In "Where You Are", the Chief tells Moana of all the amazing things that they have there, like the beautiful coconuts, and all of the people who help each other out, and everyone's singing and dancing, and happy to be where they are, and just as happily, the dad sings a line that says "And no one leaves". And that line always gets me. We are happy here. Why go anywhere else? And that seems like a million memes shared on Instagram, about being happy with what you have, and taking care of where you are, and being satisfied and not chasing waterfalls, and sticking to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to, right? But Moana's dad's lesson is one taught out of fear, as he has a story about what happened to him personally when he strayed too far, so now he thinks that it's in his best interest to stay where he is, and to make that the rule for everyone else.
And I get that. We all have foundational beliefs and traits that make up who we are in essence. Maybe it's a religious faith, or an identity, or a person. And we want to hold onto those things because they keep us stable. But stable and shackled are two different things, and I fear that we often are more bound than we are grounded, people. I keep thinking of this every time someone on social media declares that the people that they disagree with are soulless zombies with no free thought. This is on both the right and left side of the political aisle, y'all. And we only listen to news from certain places. And only read certain things. And we only have conversations with people that agree with us, and we only comment on the pages of people we disagree with so we can disagree with them. And we stay inside our reef. Eating the coconuts that are there, even when they are starting to get diseased and we feel it. But we continue to eat from that poison fruit because it's what we know because we are too afraid and stubborn to see what else is out there, because we are afraid that we won't be us any more, so we starve on our pride. Where we are.
And no one leaves.
But right outside the borders you have set up, there are people and things that might scare you. You've decided that they have no hearts. But if you venture out, and just ask a question without thinking you know the answer, you might see that they want the same things. To feed their families. To be safe. All of the things you want, they want too. They have probably been afraid of you, too.
You all should talk. And listen. And you might still not agree. But it's harder to throw punches when you acknowledge that your wounds land on soft skin that hurts, like yours does.
Step out of where you are. Stop choking on rotten familiar fruit.

Fan Bingbing wore the same avant-garde Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 psychedelic paisley print dress, which Leighton Meester wore to the Met Gala earlier this year.
Leighton ended up on many worst dressed list, but I wouldn't put Fan on a worst dressed list mostly because she didn't wear those matching leggings, which were Leighton's downfall.
I really love this look on Fan, even though she toned it down.
Instead the beautiful actress wore tights, black wedges and carried a simple black clutch to complete her look.
Li Xiaolu also sported a re-run from the Met Gala.
She's wearing the same dress Madonna wore minus the thigh high boots, fingerless gloves and bunny ears.
It's easier to appreciate how cute this dress is without all the madness.
I'm glad she opted for a pair of cute peep-toes rather than the expected LV platforms.
Yao Chen gave us something new via her Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 ensemble which included a nude top and a pink skirt with a layered detail on one side and a black pom pom on the other.
I wish she hadn't decided to bring so much attention to her clutch, so I could see more of her skirt.
She did opt for the LV Fall 2009 platform heels, which matched her bra strap which is poking out of her top.
