For many people the next big purchase after buying a tractor is a trailer to
move it around. As soon as you find how useful your new machine is around your
home, you'll soon want it any place you have work to do. There are several
different types of trailers; some are better suited for tractor applications
than others.
First, a quick explanation of GVW is required. GVW, or Gross Vehicle Weight is
the hauling capacity of the trailers axles. A 10,000lb GVW trailer typically
weights around 2200lbs in itself, leaving 7800lbs of capacity left over for
equipment. A common misconception of that a 10,000lb trailer can haul
10,000lbs, this is not true. It's always good to leave some room for error when
calculating the weight of your equipment as driving with an overloaded trailer
is never a pleasant experience.
Its equally important not to exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle. Trucks
and SUV's are also assigned a GVW and a tongue weight. The tongue weight
is the amount of weight placed on the truck itself, as opposed to being
centered over the trailers axles. By parking the heavy side of a tractor
towards the vehicle its possible to overload the tongue without overloading the
trailer itself. This is a difficult measurement to calculate and its often just
eyeballed by checking the amount of compression on the rear suspension (as a
guideline its typically 10-15% of the trailers payload). In extreme cases
there are weight transfer kits available that shift trailer weight towards the
front wheels and off the tongue.
Licensing and Brakes
Trailer regulations vary by state, however there are some norms. Most
states require that trailers over 3000lbs be licensed and inspected, those
under 3000lbs do not as they typically do not have brakes. Once you cross the
3000lb threshold brakes become mandatory to help stop the load. A few states
require breaks on just one axle, but most require brakes on all axles. Most
trailer companies operate regionally and build their product to meet local
regulations, always make sure that the trailer your buying meets your local
Landscape Trailers
Low Pofile / Skid Loader Trailers
Low profile / skid loader trailers are typically 10,000-14,000 GVW. Like a
landscape trailer, they have their wheels set to the outside of the decking to
keep the trailer low to the ground. This is important when loading a skid
loader as these machines will bottom out on a steep equipment ramp. Skid Loader
trailers typically do not have sides, but often do have fork pockets under them
to store a set of pallet forks while a bucket is on the machine. To support the
heavy load capacity you'll usually see a skid loader trailer equipped with a
heavy ladder ramp that can support the larger loads.
Deck Over Trailers
A deck over trailer has a heavy, hardwood deck with the wheels set under
it. A deck over is an ideal equipment trailer as it's up to 108" wide because
the tires are set under the decking rather than beside it. Most deck overs
range from 16-22ft, and capacities of 10,000GVW and up. The rear of the trailer
is usually equipped with a beaver tail. This is a slopped area at the rear of
the trailer that lowers the backend to provide a shallower angle for loading
equipment. The length of a deck over is normally measured as flat area, not
including the beaver tail which adds about 4 feet. Ladder ramps are exclusively
used, sometimes with spring loading to help lower the heavy ramp. Deck overs
can be problematic when loading tractors with smaller tires, 2WD machines, Zero
Turn Mowers, and Skid Loaders all because it can be difficult to get these
machines to crawl up the long steep ramps. However it usually is the best
choice for larger tractors and backhoes, and machines with implements attached.
Gooseneck Trailers
A Gooseneck trailer shares the construction of the deckover trailer, but
has a hitch that rests in the trucks bed rather than on the rear hitch.
Centering the load over the suspension can allow for more weight setting
forward on the trailer without crushing the suspension of the truck.
Dump Trailers
A dump trailer is usually used for moving mulch and debris, however landscapers
have turned them into multipurpose tools by loading equipment into them as
well. Typically found in 7000-12000 GVW varieties, dump trailers have solid
metal floors and sides suitable to carrying loose material. With the proper
ramp, its also possible to load small tractors and the occasional skid loader.
Dumps are available as either deck over or low profile depending on your needs.
Low profile its better suited for loading equipment, but because of its low
height it's difficult to dump any material into a large pile.
Tilt Trailers
Tilt trailers have a hydraulic tilt or balanced deck that can be lowered
for loading. No ramps are need as the rear edge of the deck is lowered to the
ground. Common capacities range from light 3000lb tilt models, up to heavier
10,000lb models with hydraulic systems. The appeal of a tilt trailer is the
very shallow loading angle which makes it easy to load the most stubborn
pieces. When equipped with a winch, a tilt trailer is ideal for moving disabled
tractors. The downside is expense and the time required to tilt the deck every
time you load and unload. The battery powered hydraulic systems are relativity
simple, but do require maintenance. Normally the tires are set to the sides of
a tilt trailer limiting the width of your equipment.
Electrical Connections
A flat 4 pin plug is used for light duty trailers where brakes are not
required. The connection simply powers the trailers lights so it can be seen in
the dark.
A 7 pin RV plug or a round 6 pin plug both power the lights and activate the
trailers brakes electronically. If your vehicle does not have this plug factory
installed it can be added by equipping your truck with a brake controller.
Adapters are readily available to change between these two types.

Recently the San Francisco-based, American-made clothing label Taylor Stitch expanded their collection to include a women's line. They hired Kate Jones to design the line, who incidentally was one of Tomboy Style's early Q&A's, who first delivered a lauded collection of indigo basics (masterfully modeled by Bekah of A Well Traveled Woman, also an early TbS Q&A!). Since then, Jones has gone beyond those perfect cotton tees, tanks, and sweatshirts to include soft denim shirting and a utilitarian denim jacket. Her inspiration ranges from 1950s vacations to Key West to Martha Gelhorn reporting on the front lines of WWII—which I guess means if these shirts were a meal they'd be a slice of Key Lime Pie with a shot of whisky on the side. My kind of shirt.

I love how Kate Jones' designs - whether jewelry or clothing - have an effortlessness to them. Classic and of the moment. Casual yet elegant and sophisticated. I so admire her work.
I've been living in my sea washed indigo sweatshirt ... and I need to get my hands on that project jacket for Spring.

YES. I love the collection. :D

One of the most controversial parts of meaningful use is the requirement that a certain percentage of patients engage with the office. The argument goes that the doctor shouldn't be rewarded or punished based on the actions of someone (the patients) they don't control. Regardless of the controversy, the requirement remains that doctors have to engage with a certain number of patients if they want to get the meaningful use money.
I'm personally a fan of patient engagement and think there's a lot of value that will come from more engagement with patients. This reminds me of Dr. CT Lin's presentation and research on patient engagement. We need to find more ways to make patient engagement an easy reality in healthcare.
The problem I keep running into with the meaningful use patient engagement requirement is that meaningful use requires a certified EHR to meet that requirement. There are a whole suite of patient engagement apps that provide a useful and logical engagement between doctor and patient. However, none of them can be used to meet the meaningful use patient engagement criteria. Yes, I know the patient engagement app could become modularly certified, but that's really overkill for many of these apps. It really doesn't make any sense for them to be certified. The software doesn't get better (and an argument can be made that the software becomes worse) if they become modularly certified as an EHR.
Because of this issue, the requirement basically relegates EHR vendors to implement some sort of after thought (usually) patient portal. Then, the doctors have to try and force patients to use a patient portal just to meet a requirement. Plus, many are "gaming" this patient engagement number in the way a patient signs up and engages in the portal.
Wouldn't it be so much better to allow the patient engagement to happen on a non-certified EHR? Why does this need to happen on a certified EHR? EHR vendors aren't focused on patient engagement, and so it shouldn't be a surprise that they're not creating amazing patient engagement tools. Think about how much more effective the patient engagement would be if it happened on a software that was working and thinking every day about how they can make that engagement work for the patient and the provider.
I'd love to see ONC make an exception on this requirement that would allow patient engagement to occur on something other than the certified EHR. I imagine if they did this, they could even raise the bar when it comes to what percentage of patients they should engage with electronically. If they don't, we'll have a bunch of lame duck patient portals that are really only used to meet the MU requirement. What a terrible missed opportunity that would be.

Conditions in Haiti's Recently Collapsed Penitentiary
An inside look at the dangerous conditions inside Haiti's collapsing national penitentiary.
The Caribbean conjures up visions of sun, sand, and tourism to most, but with HIV rates second only to those of sub-Saharan Africa, these islands face a complex and disturbing set of circumstances in their fight against the AIDS epidemic.
Poor infrastructure, low-resources, and endemic poverty are commonalities shared by most of these island nations, while diverse histories, languages and cultures make each country's plight unique.
Through articles, photography and videos, as well as original poetry and music, HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean underscores both obstacles and successes. Reporting from Haiti, before and after the earthquake, highlights initial progress and devastating setbacks. In the Dominican Republic, Haitian immigrants living in a stateless limbo face discrimination and hostility, keeping health care for AIDS patients out of reach. And in Jamaica, stigma, homophobia, and anti-gay laws force the epidemic underground with disastrous results.
Reporting from Pulitzer Center journalists paints a regional portrait of the epidemic, where culture and religion clash with the realities of homosexuality and commercial sex; and where the wealthiest and the poorest countries in the hemisphere meet in a tangled web of tourism, aid donations, domestic policy, and external expertise.
The Pulitzer Center's reporting on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean was made possible with support from the MAC AIDS Fund.

You actually cannot void a deposit made through Deposit Assistant. You must reverse it by doing a General Ledger CR journal entry.
How to date the transaction
Determine the statement date of the last closed Bank Reconciliation. If the original deposit date is after that date, you may use use the deposit date in your reversing transaction. If the deposit was made prior to that date, you must date the new transaction a day after the last closed Bank Reconciliation statement date.
An example of such a transaction is shown below.
The first example is the deposit through deposit assistant. In this example, the Income account is credited and the bank account (2) is debited.
This deposit puts money in Checking Account #2 and Credits Income Account 3001-03.
Below is an example of the reversing transaction using the General Ledger, Individual Transactions. The reversing transaction Credits Checking (Cash) and Debits Income. Note: the same deposit slip number is used for this reversing transaction as was used in the deposit. Also, since the Bank Reconciliation had not been closed for March, the same date is used in this example.
How to create the reversing entry:
- Go into General Ledger, Individual Transactions
- Select Journal Type CR.
- Use the Bank Account which was used in the original deposit and enter it as a negative amount. Tab through and enter any pertinent information in each field. Use the same deposit slip number as was used for the deposit. Tab until the item you just entered shows in the grid (below).
- Now, use the Income Account which was used in the original deposit and enter it as a positive amount. Tab through and let the default values remain, including the deposit slip number. Tab until the item shows in the grid.
- Using the same deposit slip number as the original deposit will create a wash affect in the Bank Reconciliation and will sum all transactions made for the same deposit slip number which will likely sum to zero.
NOTE: If you are reversing this deposit due to NSF, you may want to add letters to the end of the Deposit Slip Number 277NSF and date the transaction when the Bank reported the issue. This way the deposit will show in the Bank reconciliation as it does on the Bank Statement, and the returned check will show separately on the Bank Reconciliation as it does on the Bank Statement.

We, The Asian Muslim Action Network (AMAN), emphasize that the suicide bombings that occurred in several churches in Surabaya are NOT part of Islamic teachings. Damaging places of worship is clearly forbidden in Islamic teachings, as described in Surah Al-Hajj verse 40, to protect places of worship of any religion from violent and irresponsible acts. Because this is not part of Islamic teachings, it is important for all Muslims to strongly voice their disapproval of terrorism in various forms of publicly accessible media. As the majority population of Indonesia, we cannot sit still and tolerate the development of terrorism in Indonesia.
AMAN Indonesia strongly condemns the instrumentalization of the female body for suicide bombings, especially for reasons of empowerment. The terrorist's female empowerment propaganda is spreading a false sense of awareness and clearly violates women's right to life.
AMAN Indonesia fully supports the Indonesian National Police to take necessary security measures, and to take firm action against the perpetrators who are clearly involved in this terrorist act.
AMAN Indonesia appreciates the work of the ministries and networks in providing help to the bomb victims, and supporting them economically and socially in the long term. It is important for the state to provide justice for the victims of terrorism.
AMAN Indonesia calls for all users of social media to trust in formal news sources that are reliable, and to avoid controversial debates that are unnecessary and could potentially divide us. This act of terror has clearly taken innocent victims. They were men, women and children that were in the act of worship. Stop spreading photos of victims or information that is not clear, this spreads the sense of fear that is desired by the terrorist groups.
AMAN Indonesia encourages civil society and interfaith organizations to cooperate against all forms of terror acts, including all efforts to purposely develop terrorism in Indonesian. We encourage society to empathize with the victims of the bombs and their families for a thorough and long-term recovery.
Thank you

Well, there is my mother's computer, which I'm on now, but I don't like the idea of her tracking the things I read, so. I hope I don't miss too many super fics!
Take care, you all.

Chris comes from a family with generations of musicians, and early on developed a style of his own. Chris has made a living as one of the hardest working and most requested drummers in South Florida and clearly is good company with these fine musicians, that call themselves the Red Hots, and yes they are just that….. Red Hot!
Growing up in a family that includes generations of musicians, as well as music lovers, Chris learned to respect music of all eras, genres, and styles. He cites this early groundwork to be the main reason he appreciates and plays many different styles of music. He always says "My family never put a bad record on the turntable.and I think that made me a better musician before I ever picked up the sticks".
He has played and recorded with numerous local bands throughout the South and Central Florida area. He has also done festivals and toured with following national and regional acts: Terry Hanck, Rich DelGrosso, Gypsy Blue Acoustic Revue, Calvin Newbourn, L.A. Jones, The Dillengers, Matt Stubbs, Sax Gordon Beale, Albert Castiglia, Phil Grande, and Adriana Samargia.
Chris is currently touring with 2009 International Blues Challenge/Albert King award winner J.P. Soars. The most recent highlight of Peet's career, in addition to winning the current I.B.C. title, occurred while joining legendary artist Matt Guitar Murphy - one of the original Blues Brothers - in an unforgettable recording session of Murphy's favorites.

Life has been busy lately with cleaning, decluttering... We're putting our house on the market in about a month so I haven't found much sewing time. So, when Lucy Blaire contacted me asking if I'd like to try her new dress pattern, I jumped at the chance to have a quick-sew project and another opportunity to sew with knits. Riley Blake also sent some wonderful knits for me to work with. The Lucky Girl Dress is a very cute play dress with a lined hood and a full circle skirt, which is great for twirling! My daughter loves it! I found the pattern to be easy to read and follow and came together rather quickly.
I then decided to make my youngest daughter one as well using some fabric I had on hand. I didn't have enough to make the circle skirt so I just extended the bodice pattern piece and made an A-line dress. It's a little big on her (especially the sleeves) but I'm hoping it will fit her nicely this fall.
If you want to see more wonderful Lucky Girl dresses, click on the links below to see what the other bloggers came up with:

Flying High:
How Hosting the 2017 NFL Draft will Impact the City of Philadelphia
Author – Ryan Gorecki
Well, it's the end of April and that can only mean one thing…football is right around the corner. Yes, the first regular season game is still a few months away, but the media mammoth that is the NFL is quickly about to take over once again. Not only does training camp start less than a month from now, but a swarm of football fans from around the country are about to flood the streets of Philadelphia for one event: the 2017 NFL Draft.
On April 27th, an overhead view of the streets of Philadelphia will contain thousands of multicolored jerseys and caps belonging to the anxious fans awaiting the announcement of who will be joining their favorite teams. However, none will be more excited than those bleeding black and green, the fans of the hometown Philadelphia Eagles. This year the Eagles have the 14th overall pick and have the potential to select a cornerstone piece to go along with QB Carson Wentz. Whoever they choose will most likely become an immediate star in the eyes of Eagles fans. While hosting the draft will provide more than enough fun and excitement for NFL diehards, what impact will it actually have on the city?
From the Papal visit in 2015, to the Democratic National Convention in 2016, and now the NFL Draft in 2017, the fourth largest media market in the country is definitely seeing its fair share of action. Hosting events like these not only provides entertainment for the people of the city, but it attracts thousands of visitors from around the country, or in the Pope's case the world. This sudden flood of visitors can provide an enormous source of revenue for businesses like hotels, restaurants, bars, museums, and other various attractions. In the last two drafts, the host city of Chicago saw an $80 million economic impact each year. Judging from the turnout of the past few years, Philadelphia should see an influx of more than 200,000 people attending the event, half of which being from out of town. Not only do visitors like to spend money, but it also provides jobs and overtime hours for employees in the above mentioned businesses, as well as people working security and set up/take down services for the event itself.
This is the first time that Philadelphia is hosting the draft since 1960 in the Warwick Hotel. Interestingly enough, Philadelphia also hosted the first ever draft back in 1936 in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It's a bit surprising that it has taken this long for the draft to take place here again considering its proximity to other major NFL teams. The New York Giants and Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Buffalo Bills are all within 300 miles from Philadelphia.
Now, an event of this magnitude seems like it would cost the city, and taxpayers, a lot of money to put together. Expenses are estimated to hit in between $20 and $25 million but the majority of this will be paid for by the NFL. The city is raising $5 million in private funds and only $500,000 will come from taxpayers, unlike the $8 million during the Papal visit. This is a perfect example of a public-private partnership, the NFL working with the city to host the draft in order to benefit both parties. Since it is costing the city of Philadelphia practically nothing, there is essentially no downside to the events planned this weekend. It will generate massive amounts of activity in local businesses and visitors will flood the historic sites the city has to offer. Even if the locals are annoyed and decide to avoid the city this weekend because of traffic and street closures, then that will only generate a spike in business following the conclusion of the event. Using the example of the Pope's visit again, the weeks following his departure business owners saw a rise in activity due to customers who were avoiding the large crowds. Hosting the NFL draft will affect the city of Philadelphia for weeks to come.
Finally, and most importantly, it is good for the team. The Philadelphia Eagles are in the middle of a major rebuilding stage, much like the Sixers. They have multiple holes to fill and are now building around their centerpiece Carson Wentz. Whoever the Eagles decide to draft, assuming they don't trade down, will instantly become a superstar in the eyes of the people of Philadelphia. Like Carson Wentz, Joel Embiid, and Shayne Gostisbehere, the number 14 overall pick will be the next cornerstone of Philadelphia sports. He will also be given a chance that the other three were not, a chance to be welcomed by fans before the first home game. Rather than having to wait until week three of the 2017 NFL season when the Eagles host the New York Giants for their first home game, this lucky draftee will immediately be welcomed by the Eagles fans the second he is drafted. He will see the dedication people have to this team and their desire to finally celebrate a Lombardi Trophy in the city. The number 14 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft is about experience firsthand the brotherly love of Philadelphia sports fans.

When To Be Trendy-When To Pass
42 comments:
Sound advice, and good thriftiness in getting a look w/o too much $ committment.ReplyDelete
I really like your attitude and philosophy, Marty. : - )
I can't get over the before and after. Your paint change made it look like an expensive piece! Great job!ReplyDelete
This trend never appealed to me so I'll pass but do like your make over - it looks good!ReplyDelete
Such a great tip, Marty! I think you got a great deal for $5.00 on your gazelle and it really suits your home in the gold.ReplyDelete
I think that your gold paint is an improvement. I understand your thoughts on traditional and trying to look current at the same time. I am a traditional girl though. I admire others mix and eclectic styles...but on a daily basis I love traditional and early Kentucky antiques. Who knows, I might do something wild. I bought an orange outdoor rug which is kind of crazy for me. Ha!ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, trendy things usually don't come up for sale that often . . . ONLY when they're not trendy anymore! And then you decor is "behind"! LOL! I like that piece better gold and you have added "the latest" without breaking the bank!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness...I love the gazelle in GOLD! I think gold is making a huge comeback. I always loved it but for the past 10 years or so have been more on a silver brushed nickle kick. I just did my guest bedroom over with pops of gold and I have to say the gold is classic and I love it! Your living room has a completely classic look which with a few trendy items added in now and then, it will never go out of style!!ReplyDelete
XO Barbara
Great idea! I like the gazelle better with the gold too, He looks very expensive now. I like you way of thinking, I am a traditional girl as well.ReplyDelete
I think you've added to perfect amount of trendiness to your traditional style Marty. The gazelle is great & similar to the one my daughter gave me for Christmas!ReplyDelete
Great advice Marty. We so often get caught up in what every one else is doing. It's so easy when you blog - like cloches. I never did find one that I was willing to pay the asking price for, but realize now, I really didn't need it.ReplyDelete
Your gazelle looks just perfect in your home. I think you got a great bargain and his makeover makes him fit right in.
Great deal Marty, I really like your gazelle. And your advise is spot on.ReplyDelete
Around our parts, there are stuffed deer head with large antlers in nearly every home.
That's probably why I haven't taken to the antler craze.
Hugs friend,
Marty - what a great find! They are definitely trendy, but I LOVE that you found one for a "steal" and made it your own with paint!!ReplyDelete
Cheryl @ The Creative Me and My McG
Very pretty....and what a great deal too! I love him in the new gold......ReplyDelete
The gold paint really made a difference to me Marty! I think it just pops! You are indeed a trendy gal...my kind of woman! Hugs and blessings, CindyReplyDelete
Marty,when I saw the gazelle in silver,I thought, no don't think so. Then you painted it and what a transformation. Love the new look. xReplyDelete
Love it in gold!ReplyDelete
Such a great tip, Marty! Thanks for sharing wonderful information, it is really nice information.ReplyDelete
As usual, your tips are so helpful, and painting the gazelle gold is the perfect touch of 'class' to your vignette! Love it, Marty!ReplyDelete
You amaze me Marty, as you always find FABULOUS things and what you are looking for exactly at the best prices... and not only that, but you are so talented to finish this beautiful gazelle into a perfect gold color as your little heart desires!ReplyDelete
Marty, I am doing the same thing - trying to breathe new life into my traditional living room which looks a little too dated. Love the Gazelle! I too am a huge fan of spray paint.ReplyDelete
Looks great, Marty! It adds greatly to your decor.ReplyDelete
Very nicely done! I've definitely avoided the trend towards mid century modern, in fact it drives me crazy to see everyone I know jumping all over it without adding any of their own personalities. I think we have to stay true to what we love, especially in our homes. You did a great job and I think your home has plenty of character even without the moldings... :-)ReplyDelete
I agree with having limited budget for trendy stuff marty but my, what a deal! love that you sprayed it gold!ReplyDelete
Marty, I am in such need to redo my little cottage, so I am hanging on every bit of advise. Love your gazelle and the touch of gold. How do you come up with these ideas???ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh thanks, but I just copy cat things I see on in magazines, pinterest and on my favorite blogs. I like to do it on a budget, so usually I have to thrift shop or do a makeover, but then that makes it look like me. There is tons fo inspiration out there, so just copy anything you like.Delete
Oh I like that a lot! It turned out so nice- love the new color- much better!ReplyDelete
I tend to stay away from trendy especially when it comes to décor, I just can't trust myself to make if work - lol. I do like that you changed the color to flow better your love of gold. Blessings, CindyReplyDelete
Good advice Marty! I agree that if I'm adding trendy to my décor then it has to be inexpensive. I like spending the high dollars on more traditional or on items that I know I won't tire of quickly. Love the gazelle and painted gold he looks wonderful in your room.ReplyDelete
It looks very high end! You're a very smart decorator and thanks for the advice.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous vignette, Marty! I love the gazelle in gold, looks like an expensive piece, makes a beautiful focal point in your vignette and what a great price!~hugs, PoppyReplyDelete
Looks very nice!ReplyDelete
I love your living room! I think trying out trends in small portions is alright. I tend to stick with tradition too, and am nervous to try trends. One I know I'm not crazy about is the Chevron everyone is so crazy about.ReplyDelete
Marty, I agree with doing the trendy on a budget. If I don't like it I don't want to feel guilty that I spend a small fortune! I would have passed up the Gazelle, but you had a vision and it looks great! Might I add that I love your apple and pear with the gold leaf. I'm thinking some faux fruit, paint it with a pearly finish and paint the leaf gold, hmm . . . What do you think?ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh I think the pearly finish would be fabulous and I am all for anything gold right now. My new thing.Delete
I really like your gazelle, and especially like the new color! I really don't care for the antlers that so many people are hanging on their walls or plopping into a coffee table vignette -- seems kind of gross to me. Your piece is very pretty and looks perfect on your table. I typically avoid trendy, too, except for burlap and dropcloths......lol!ReplyDelete
Nothing much is more fun then getting out the spray paint and changing something to suit your own taste. :) I love it!ReplyDelete
Love it gold Marty! I have always loved them even before they became "trendy". I think they add a layer of richness to a space. xo KristinReplyDelete
what?! get outta here! that's $5 Marty!! get me one ♥ReplyDelete
i love your new accessories it looks fab on your living room..
Oh it is truly adds a fun new element to the space!ReplyDelete
Your gazelle is such a great find - I love them too but like you am not going to spend $50+ for one (which is how much all of the ones that I've come across have been). At $5 I would have snatched it up too!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 2, 2014 at 11:29 AM
You are so right about trends; an accent trend here and there works for me too. I like to change things around when I get the urge, so everything must be multi-functional, or at least multi-decorative and usable in most any room. Cute gazelle.ReplyDelete
What?!?! I can't believe you picked that up for $5...I love Ross! Brilliant decision to paint him gold, too. Love it, Marty. Thanks for linking up with us at Best of the Nest!ReplyDelete

Good evening creative educators. My name is Philippa Okonji, I am a school consultant, facilitator and most of all an Early years practitioner
You're welcome ma
I am very passionate about doing education right especially in the early years as this form the basis of all future learning.
This evening, I am going to be sharing with all of us on Teaching Communication, Language and Literacy in early years
The learning area is split in two, Communication and language is taught under the prime area while Literacy is under the specific area
We will start with communication and language. This has been divided into three to help make teaching and learning easy. They are
Understanding and
We will start with communication and language. This has been divided into three to help make teaching and learning easy. They are
Understanding and
Some of the activities we can have here are – Circle time, Show and Tell, Story Reading/Telling Rhymes, Songs etc
All this will engage in the children listening to and engaging with others as they talk
From the very earliest age, we should engage the children with our voices so they get used to hearing us talk
Understanding deals with how children use language to clarify their thinking.
They use language to imagine and recreate roles.
They refer to events they have observed or are curious about
They use language to imagine and recreate roles.
They refer to events they have observed or are curious about
Some of the activities that we can use are Roleplaying, Acting, Talking through and sequencing eventa
Speaking is about how children express themselves effectively showing awareness of the listener.
They use the past, present and future forms correctly whilst expressing their thoughts
They develop their own narratives and explanations by connecting ideas and events
From, this we would have noticed that Communication and Language involves us talking to and with the children to help them develop what we call their receptive vocabulary. An early years setting cannot be quiet because there is talk always going on between teacher and pupil, pupils to each other and to the teacher
Okay, so do we have people in the house listening? I would like to share some of your experiences
So let us look at the Literacy aspect. This is taught under the Specific Area of teachingLiteracy development involves encouraging children to read and write, both through listening to others reading, observing them writing and beginning to read and write themselves
Good evening Ma….. from my experience , children also like to express themselves through pictures,they see a picture and try to explain what is happening in the picture.
The Literacy aspect is also made up of two area of learning –
Reading involves individual sounds, blends, words and sentences
Take time to teach the correct sounds. If you are not sure, please ask. Do not teach the wrong thing because it becomes more difficult for children to learn the correct thing later
In the Hand writing class, take children through pre writing skills. Before attempting to teach them to writeWe should teach children the correct pencil grip and movement of the hand to form letters correctly
Teaching children how to write also start with colouring using crayons etc ,to grip and help scribbled which brings about the easy movement of the hand.
In addition, they make stokes and curves on the sand tray
In the Hand writing class, take children through pre writing skills. Before attempting to teach them to write
We should teach children the correct pencil grip and movement of the hand to form letters correctly
Can please have right directionality for for letters formation because some us always get it wrong when it comes to teaching children how to write letters. Thank you Ma
The other aspect of writing which is Creative Writing ties with the Prime area because the more children are allowed to share their thoughts, the more they can write. You allow the children talk about their experiences then I vite them to write what they have said
During the creative writing exercise, we are not focussing on how well a child can spell. The main focus here is the child being able to put down their thoughts on paper. Most times, the children will write the words phonetically, allow them because insisting that they erase and write the spellings correctly may stem the creative flow
OK, letters should be written with a clean sweep from right to left (if the child is right handed) up to down
What I mean by a clean sweep is that the pencil PR crayon as the case may be should not be lifted until the letter is completely written
OK, I will be rounding up in a few minutes does anyone have questions that we need to deal with before I go?
Responses Good evening house, Mummy thanks for the lesson. Was in church but just went through. Creative writing has been a challenge but just got a different approach to it now
Thank you for listening to me, if you have any questions in any area of Early years, I would be glad to help out as much as I can
Teach them the use of the pincer grip. Holding the pencil at the crown with their thumb, index and middle fingers
Thank you so much Ma for you time. This is learning without "walls" May God reward you labour of love in Jesus Christ name Amen

According to the hygiene hypothesis (and at this time it's still just a hypothesis), when kids grow up sheltered from allergens, microorganisms, and parasites, the immune system doesn't learn its job properly. The result? More allergic and autoimmune disease later in life. Remember, it's just a hypothesis, but a researcher at Oregon State thinks that it may explain why women are more likely than men to have these diseases as adults. Little girls tend to get less dirty, says Dr. Sharyn Clough, and this may lead to more allergic-based diseases as adults. Read more about this--and a common sense solution--at PsychCentral.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY – Companies that solve clear problems affecting a significant number of people.
TECHNOLOGY – Concrete advantages over similar companies in the space.
TRACTION – Successful proof of concept or initial customers.
OWNERSHIP – Founders are majority shareholders and there is a clean capital structure.
TERMS – Standard investor protections like information rights, preemption, and liquidation preferences.

Apolitical Non-Ideological
HBR Manifesto
On Gurus
Why do you need a guru?
Why does a person require a guru?
Have you ever investigated in this weird need?
So, first of all who is the guru?
Surely the guru is not the person who teaches you how to use the computer: that's a teacher.
And surely the guru is not the person who indicates you the path to reach the valley, or the direction to the shelter, or the tips you need in general:
that person is merely a prompter.
The guru cannot be your friend: the friend is already identified as a friend.
And he cannot be your partner: the partner is already labeled as a partner.
And he cannot be a member of your family: he is already verbalized as a member of the family.
So who is the guru?
The guru is that abstract person, the history of which is what you have been told about that person, who is supposed to lead you to the 'truth' by giving you a model of living, a lifestyle, certain informations regarding how life is supposed to be lived.
"Abstract" because you usually know very little about that person...
That person appears, preaches something, shows himself in a certain way, having a certain posture of the body, the voice and his psychology (often pre-programmed).. and then he disappears..
But the question is:
why do you seek for a guru?
Let's inquire in the dynamics of this need.. the psychological mechanics that lies behind the searching for a guru..
If you are totally immersed in a very bad existential situation.. then you do not care about any guru, not at all:
what you care the most is to get out of that situation.. desperately.. in all possible ways.. or simply succumb...
If, instead, you are not involved in a total drama then you have certain forms of superficial gratifications, ...i do not know:
maybe your new iPhone, or your make up, or your friends the saturday night, or your cats, successful examinations at the university, your partner and so on... but you sense and feel that this is just the surface... therefore you want a deeper gratification, a deeper satisfaction, so you begin a searching for someone who will suggest you tips toward that "higher achievement".
Look at that:
in truth you seek someone who tell you where the truth is, but the primary truth is that you seek for the truth because you are confused and that's the main and only truth you should see, inquire in and dismantle from within.
The guru, each guru, exists because of the followers.. which means:
a guru appears where there is confusion..
as like each form of spiritual hunger takes place where the psychological and social field (where that mystical need appears) is seriously messed up.
Where there's no confusion in the mind there's no need of any guru whatsoever.
the question -"why do you seek for a guru"- implies another hidden question :
-"why do I refuse to inquire in the circumstance in which the reason why I seek for the guru takes place because of my confusions ?"-..
and this question implies again another even more hidden issue which is:
-"what are the roots of my confusions ?"-
and even this question implies another more and more deep question that sounds like:
-"what is the way I react to my confusions and their roots?"-
You see?
The person who can answer to all of these issues..
the only person who can open, one by one the psychological matrioska... is you, you yourself, not the guru..
because the guru perhaps suggests you motivational tips to adopt a kind of wiser lifestyle whatsoever... maybe by giving you some informations about higher realities,
maybe by teaching you a new form of meditation or maybe by simply installing into your mind the idea that just the action of being close with the guru will make you like him...
but in truth the guru, whoever he is, whatever he says, knows nothing concerning your inner psychological mechanisms that create your way you react to your existential problems.
Why are you so ambitious to find out a whatsoever shape of supreme truth ? Why do you struggle to be superior?
You see?
you are living now, here... this is you!
Look at yourself: this is you, not the picture of what you want to be !
Can you realize how,.. while you want existential success and you cover your mind by tons of misty spiritual ambitions to escape your confusions, .. you actually nourish your confusion itself..
Because you create and feed that usual conflict between "how things are now" and "how I would like to see things tomorrow"..
In this way your future is merely possessed, invaded and addicted to the expectations and the ambitions manufactured in your past.. and in this way you, you and your guru, will drag the past into the future repeating the same stupid story over and over again... searching for the truth.. praying for time..
Your guru is the matrioska that contains your need to escape from the honest and total understanding of your fears:
the guru and your escape are the same thing.
this is why we set up the EOF project. for more information on the one year Detox Your Mind Coaching contact us.

The Lord Nelson is now providing food every day except Mondays prompt service Menus on table and board order at bar quick service. Recommend booking at busy times to be sure.
We were stuck for where to moor that was close enough to Yarmouth for the tide times/passage, but where grub was available. Normally we would have looked further away, having considered Loddon. Advice from the guys at Yarmouth Y/S was not to.
So we settled on Reedham, but were worried about the Ship having read other reviews.
So we called in at the Nelson, and had a pint early afternoon and perused the menu.
The place was welcoming, the staff friendly, with nothing seeming too much bother.
We decided to moor up a couple of days before having to take our hire boat back to Loddon, found a mooring outside the Lord Nelson and popped in for a pint.
It was a Thursday and there were chalkboards advertising a jam night, I love live music so we decided to stay there for the evening.
I'd somehow managed to get one of the boat yards covers covered in something or other and was distraught about taking it back like it. My partner decided he'd ask Ros (Landlady) if she would be kind enough to wash the cover for us (he hates seeing me stressed lol), I was so suprised a) he'd had the nerve to ask and b) she very very kindly said no problem!
What a top lady.
The evening was fun, even joined in with a washboard and sticks lol. The locals seem to love the variety of people to talk to and made us feel most welcolme. So welcome in fact we stayed another night!!
Can't comment on whether children were welcome as we don't have any and to be honest don't tend to go to the type of pub where there's a designated kiddie area (no offence intended).
Overall, we're back on the broads end of September and will definately be back to say hi and hopefully have as much fun again.
We went here after trying the Ferry and Ship and not feeling to comfortable at those tho they were also nice pubs just weren't as boater (or maybe because I'm Cdn) friendly? But loved The Lord Nelson, best time on S Broads! Sitting riverside was great 2! The people, customers and staff immediately made us feel welcome! Didn't have cash so ran a tab until end when we paid on card. Ended up being a hefty tab even tho good prices as drinks were great and stayed all night until close having so much fun with them watching Cole Stacey play! Amazing acoustic singer/songwriter who we're now getting out in Andover at our local! Very honest also as after paying the owner came over and asked if our tab had been right and not over-charged as quite large, we're like Ya, it's right, bought alot of drinks 4 people! But thanx 4 asking! lol Bought quite a few drinks for us, locals and music act, good times! lol Dog friendly also, make sure you check out Nelson the dog, luv him 2! I didn't notice the dog smell prev comments refer to, just smelled food from the kitchen, smelled really good! Def stop here prob a couple times next trip, absolutely loved it, what a great find and absolutely lovely pub! Very clean, TONS of ales and good drink selection! Most fun pub we found on our week out with great locals there who were a treat to get to know abit, hope their still there next time! Thanx for an awesome last night on our boat trip, I'll def never forget it despite the amount of booze consumed! lol Next time I'll plan my trip to coincide w the Reedham Riverside Beer festival they host as would be so much fun I'm sure! x
We popped into The Lord Nelson a couple of times during our 4 day visit - initially intending to try out the food which had been recommended in another post, but were driven out by the off hand attitude of the bar girl and extreme smell of wet dog that seemed to be constantly apparent in the pub. (We love dogs but don't want to eat somewhere that smells like a wet one all the time!)
Our next visit was on the following evening which had advertised a live Irish Folk band with singers/musicians welcome.
We received a better reception this time from the barman who was friendly and efficient which is more than can be said of a regular local man who made rude comments as we walked through the door and continued to be obnoxious to the boaters and disruptive towards the entertainer throughout the evening. We learned from others that this individual had put several people off frequenting the pub during their stay, particularly some of the other women who felt intimidated when no attempt was made by the bar staff to curb his unpleasant behaviour.
There were several varieties of pump beers sampled by some of our party who said they were very tasty and reasonably priced.
The full band failed to appear although a couple of musicians did turn up late to accompany Jon who did a great job of keeping us all entertained on guitar and vocals with his unique style of Irish/Folk music and remained unfazed by the obnoxious local.
Verdict: Good music and beverages but not particularly clean or welcoming.
first met bill and roz before they opened last may then came down in july went into the pub and was made very welcome was down on holiday in september and when in too many times and was glad to see that bill had got some live music back in the way of jon collerick the former landlord was back down again last month and stayed in the village instead of hiring a boat and when we were in the pub was again made very welcome the beer is always very good and bill is always open to suggestions like selling house doubles whenever i am in reedham i will go into the nelson
We went down to the Lord Nelson at Reedham last night to see Jon Colorick and was treated to the Irish style Folk music of Sylvanne. This 4 piece band "Dawn, Amanda, Ted and Paul" played guitar drums and violin to some great songs.
That and some very nice Humpty Dumpty beer from the village brewery made it a very cool evening.
Bill has booked Sylvanne to return on the 26th of June wich we will be coming back for.
Bank Holiday Monday I was down the Lord Nelson at Reedham for a beer. The pub had Jon Collorick playing folk music for the afternoon and the weather was good, I had good friends with me and stopped to think that we are very quick to put down a pub but we don`t often praise. So I thought I would. The beer was perfect I was drinking the Green Jack Orange Wheat Beer. Bill and Roz have been in the pub for a year and have made it a home. They have become part of the village. All the best.
We had a great afternoon and look forward to many more this summer.
Visited this pub last September when they were
celebrating The Battle of Britain anniversay.The
beer was good and the atmosphere was great. Had
live musicians who played all the old wartime
favourites. Everybody joined in and it was one of
the best nights we had on our holiday.
Moored here in expectation - one of the boards in the above photo was still outside but the pub doors stayed locked - No notice why. The moorings attendant said that it was being refurbished and was likely to be open later in the season.
Stopped off here for a quick lunchtime pint - the beer we sampled was very good. Although we didn't eat, the menu looked good and was very well priced with some good meal deals on offer such as 2 for £8.95.
after seeing this pub more closed than open lately ,it was great to see it up and running.staff friendly and attentive,the manager took time out to chat at the bar and has great plans for the future useing all the tried and tested formulas that once made this a good pub and will hopefully again.
Coming from Manchester, pub crawls usually last 20 or more pubs. In the serenity of Norfolk, two's the limit. Called in for one, after the ship, before leaving for Norwich (Jun 06), didn't eat but the last time we were in Reedham (Jun 05) this place was boarded up, so pleased to see the new owners(?) were very enthusiastic and very friendly. Will be back for more June 07.
Nice pub - best bit is sitting outside right by the river. We visited in June 2006, had recently changed landlords and they seemed very friendly and to be working hard at creating a good impression. They also were very honest and tracked us down outside on them realising they had charged us too much, when we hadn't realised! Will definately revisit.
On our first visit we sat outside with a drink which was really pleasant. The staff were pleasant enough, the weather was lovely and it was really nice being able to sit by the Broads watching the boats.
Everyone to their own regards the previous review, but when I go into a pub I would like it to be clean and friendly and serve a good pint.
This place does exactly what it says on the tin.
It is clean, the staff are friendly and very honest. I say that from experience because I left an Adidas bag hanging on a chair in the beer garden at night and then walked back to my boat and forgot it.
I only remembered in the morning and walked forlornly back to the pub to ask if it had been handed in.
Certainly Sir, was the response, I put it behind the bar for safe keeping and my bag with all the contents was returned.
This place deserves full marks for that in this day and age.
In addition though the beer is clean and crisp, they open in the mornings for a full English and less if you wish. They offer a cashback facility if you spend more than £20 on debit cards and they try to entertain.
1st rate!!!!
Had a few pints & a chat with Jaguar here. Be warned..........Saturday night is karaoke night. I suspect it's going to put off more boaters than attract. So bad we sat outside to escape the worst. A deeply dreadful experience.
Re opened again clean and tidy inside pleasant staff trying hard to build up trade seperate non smoking restaurant area
Thought i read somewhere that this pub had closed down....well it hasn't im pleased to say. Very friendly landlord and good, pleasant staff, despite some unpleasant yobs from a brace of Richardson boats.

Way to find them and thanks for the report. I bet that wind was a bear today. Hopefully the spinnerbait bite is not far off!
bill I have found the best way to fish a spinnerbait is to slow roll it or rip it then let it fall also the best trailer for a spinnerbait is a white lizard cut in half. jmf
Winds were pretty calm tonight, was a nice evening on the river. Was definitely odd with the air temps being so warm and the water being cold. First hole did not produce anything but 1 bite. Shot down to my honey hole, and started fishing about 715, by 8 my left hand smelled extremely fishy. Caught my first 1 at 720, then by 8 I had 8 landed. lost 3 or 4 more. If it resembled a crayfish, it was of interest. Most caught on crankbaits, but I did get 1 or 2 on spoons. Definitely laying along the current seams along the bank where I was. 2 were definitely had eggs in them. They looked like potbellied pigs.

For agriculture machinery manufacturers like Deere and AGCO, the Midwest drought has taken a toll on their stock prices, which are both in the red for the year versus 10%-plus gain for the S&P 500. Yet the Department of Agriculture predicts farmers will make record profits this year despite the worst drought in a half-century. While many farmers are certainly hit hard, insurance and farm subsidies are making up for much of the lost revenue this year. Still, these record profits aren't quite translating to purchases of new equipment from these companies. That's because of uncertainty on the part of farmers who don't want to commit right now to new orders, and a saturated North American market after years of high crop prices and farm revenue. Check out the video below for more on how the drought affects these companies.
While these companies may be on track for a rebound, there are more compelling stocks currently in the market. One of which is a stock that has so much promise that we've dubbed it "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012." In this free report, our chief investment officer identifies his favorite company for the year. To access the report before the rest of the market catches on, click here -- it's absolutely free.

Aspiring chartered accountant Kathleen Jackson is encouraging local people to find out more about vocational education.
Kathleen is in the final year of her higher level accounting apprenticeship at South Eastern Regional College (SERC) and has already been offered full-time employment with her employer Whitemountain Quarries Ltd where she works as an accounting apprentice.
"My family were all proud of my career choice," said Kathleen. "My parents were apprehensive about me not progressing to university and instead going to SERC but were always very encouraging and convinced me to enrol. Now they understand the benefits of vocational education and seen how well I have done they are happy I followed my ambition. I think they are also delighted that I don't have a massive student loan."
Kathleen has worked in the industry for about two years as an apprentice, working four days with her employer and one day at college. Once she completes her course, Kathleen plans to progress to complete her professional chartered accounting exams.

Last month, the government went into an official shutdown. Now, they are on a brink of another one. On Wednesday, Senate leaders came up with a budget deal that could prevent the government from shutting down, contingent upon approval from Senate and Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Schumer agreed on a 2-year budget deal. The deal includes defense and nondefense programs, disaster relief funds, community health centers, infrastructure programs, and more.
Now, House and Senate representatives are sharing their opinion on the deal. If they choose not to pass it, the government will shut down Thursday at midnight, unless they vote on a temporary extension.
There are a few main reasons that representatives are against the deal.
First, the new deal would increase government spending by a significant amount. It would increase defense spending by around $80 billion, nondefense program spending by around $131 billion, and add $80 billion for disaster relief.
Second, the new deal does not include a debt-ceiling plan or a plan for immigration. On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi gave an 8-hour speech, talking about why DACA should be included in the new plan.
So far, two groups in the House have officially opposed the deal. According to CNN, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (Democrats) and the House Freedom Caucus (conservatives), have opposed the deal.
At this point, it is unsure whether or not this deal will get approved and prevent a shutdown. On Wednesday, President Trump revealed his thoughts about the budget.
President Trump approves of the budget deal, especially because of the increase in military spending.
What do you think? Will the new deal get approved or will the government shut down again? Let us know your thoughts! In other recent news, an actor best known for his "Home Improvement" role just passed away.

William, I don't have any idea what the formal definition of "intuition" is, but I considerate intuition not as being some extrasensory phenomenon--not some immeasurable, magical, outside influence like the supposed experience of "received" telepathic communications (whatever). I see intuition more as the binary-like operation of one's total "memory" (both individual and racial/genetic types of data stored in one's physical being--the result of both nature and experience). The fact that intuitive *thinking* occurs in a manner that is impossible to symbolize, I mean impossible to code like language, (for god only knows what my red blood cells or bone cells are *remembering* for me at any given moment) ...the fact that I cannot speak intelligently about that form of "knowing" does not mean that is does not exist. It is my contention that all are insights (or foresights) are but the resultant of our ability to simply "know" some things. The act of employing astrology to attempt a coding of this "knowing" is an *apparently better* method of tapping this accumulated information or nebulous impression which are like imageless thoughts with unique *flavors*--our store of impressions--our indescribable notions of recognizable patterns. This soul activity (for whatever should I call it) is the basis for any non-rational cogitation as far as I can imagine such things. I feel in my bones that the dullest of human beings *do astrology* without any astrology being present in there store of symbols. Why we get better results when predicting (if we actually do get better results than the average park bench wino/sage) when using these symbols is probably due to the experience factor...the organized activity allows a quicker translation of *intuition* to *cognition*. The other factor I suggest adds to an astrologers ability to predict is the emotionally based talent for exhibiting faith in our assessment of a situation. The ability to *believe* we know what we are talking about is enhanced by our appreciation of the orderliness or dependability of the solar system and its regulated ephemeral movements. However is true that I cannot see Leos walking down the street until I know the birthdays of the those persons...this is a fact...all else is a belief which is more like a religious belief than actual perception of identifying, significant details, and or the logical result well sorted categories of perceptual and cognitive experiences. The fact is that we have to accept that all subjective experience *is only accidentally or incidentally* objectively correct, and then so at unpredictable times. There is no fact based proof of anything else, an astrologer's beloved "mechanism" does not exist as a mechanism but as a supposed grouping of probabilities...it exists like the effects of genes exist...it operates the ways genes are said operate, I.e., more often no one gene is responsible for a given quality or trait...any behavior is so complex that it may require perhaps hundreds of genes to be tapped as *the mechanism*. That is as it is, and that is all right by me. I need only be honest with myself when being subjective in my judgment...to be *correct*, or *in the zone*, or "on target", etc, is merely a boost to my pragmatic designs on life...not proof that astrology itself has any observable, quantifiable, *parts*--whether these nouns (fill in the blank here with the whole of your favorite list) be theoretical or otherwise. What we call astrology is simply an advanced form of pigeon-body-English...:)

Swan planter from Louisville, Kentucky
Pink Boy bought me this huge swan planter in Louisville, KY. on our recent trip to KY to visit my family. It was grey and I like black garden things so he sprayed it black and drilled a hole in bottom for drainage. It is cast aluminum. It sits in a semi shady area. I put mint, boxwood, dead nettle and salvia and vinca in it. Another swan planter and the largest one.
Swan obsession continues
Have a Pink day!

When the Gibson SG arrived on the scene at the start of the 60's it was the symbol of revolution and rebellion. Originally conceived as a replacement for the Les Paul Standard, it was a reinforcement of the idea that solid guitars were here to stay!

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you eased into the weekend, and got to wind down from the week.
Last week was rough, and left me feeling pretty burnt out by the time Friday came. I hope those words for the weekend were as helpful to everyone else as they were to me. Luckily, this weekend left me some time to pray and reflect and get back on track. Whatever this week has to bring, I'm ready to face head on.
For the past month or so, I've been making plans for summer. This is my first summer in nearly 3 years that I'm not taking on an internship (or two). I'm using this time to establish some direction, usher more growth in the blog, and explore some fun projects before jumping into my (I can't believe it's here already) senior year of college! I'm excited to be taking this time to do things I'm super passionate about. Summer can't get here soon enough!
Curl Up + Click On These
+ Anastasia's amazing post on rebranding chivalry reminds us that the source of kindness shouldn't distract us from kind acts taking place around us.

On International Labour Day 2017, Modi government's Labour Ministry held an event in Delhi, where officials spent most of their time showcasing portals and apps launched by the government for 'ease of doing business.' That, in a nutshell sums up the BJP-led NDA government's sham of "empowering" the vast army of workers, the backbone of India's 'robust' GDP growth.
The motto of the Modi government in the last three years has been clear -- roll out the red carpet for foreign investors and industry and give them a free hand to hire and fire, while throttling labour rights and wages.
The last three years, therefore, have seen the worst attacks on workers' rights and livelihoods. Adding to this onslaught was the sudden demonetisation in November 2016, leading to withdrawal of 85 per cent high-value currency notes in circulation that destroyed about 4 lakh jobs in the cash-dependent small and micro sector. So, while millions of workers were struggling to survive, digital payment agencies, such as Paytm made a killing.
The BJP-led NDA government has brought in labour law 'reforms' to take away whatever little protection workers had earlier, that too without thorough discussion with trade unions.
Simultaneously, the Modi government unleashed aggressive privatisation of even profit-making central public sector units, which threatens to take away more jobs. Once again, Reliance Mutual Fund has been appointed to provide consultancy and execute Modi's privatisation project!
The Modi government's aggressive privatisation comes at a time when the unemployment rate is rising (projected to rise from 17.7 million last year to 17.8 million in 2017 and 18 million next year. In percentage terms, the unemployment rate will remain at 3.4 per cent in 2017-18, as per ILO). There has been a marked decline in female participation in the workforce, lakhs of vacant posts are not being filled, there are massive closures & layoffs even in the IT industry, and the number of industries turning sick has risen. With real wages stagnant or falling, the rising prices of essentials, such as rice, wheat and dal, as well as of transport (despite falling global crude oil prices), the lives of workers have never been so miserable.
With over 90 per cent of unorganised sector workers having no social security and growing contractualisation and casualisation of labour, the Modi government is also hell bent on appropriating the hard-earned retirement savings (provident fund) of organised sector workers and invests these in the stock market, fooling them in the name of "better returns."
The attack on labour rights began as soon as the foreign investor and industry-friendly Modi government took charge in 2014. A 'labour law reform laboratory' was set up in Rajasthan, which was later followed by other BJP-ruled States, such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh etc, with the sole agenda of climbing up on the World Bank's 'Ease of Doing Business' ranking under the garb of 'simplifying' labour laws to suit corporate interests.
Amendments were brought in to the Factories Act and the Apprentice Act, a new law was formulated for small industries to keep 80 per cent units out of the purview of labour laws.
What's more, unions would not be registered unless they have the support of 30 per cent employees, against 15 per cent earlier. Also, the Factories Act would apply on companies that have more than 50 employees. The earlier limit was 20 workers.
The Modi government also plans to amalgamate 44 Central laws into five codes. A code on wages has already been drafted. The second code on industrial relations will amalgamate three laws -- the Industrial Disputes Act, the Trade Union Act and the Standing Order Act. Three more codes are being planned -- social security, health and safety, and working conditions.
To sum up, the three years of Modi government saw intensification of multi-cornered attacks on workers and their rights, a complete disregard for the united voice of workers, which was so evident by the massive response to two general strikes called by 10 central trade unions in which 150-180 million workers took part.
The massive response to the general strike calls, the huge protest by women garment workers and anganwadi workers in Karnataka, which brought the government to its knees, and hundreds of strikes going on in factories across India, are all warning bells for the Modi government. Ignore workers at your own peril!
Following attacks have been launched by amending different laws
* The Small Factories (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Services) Bill, 2014 seeks to exempt firms with up to 40 employees from compliance with six major labour laws. Makes it easier for the owners to hire and fire workers at will.
* The Labour Code on Wages Bill, 2015, seeks to replace four laws pertaining to minimum wages, payment of salaries and benefits.
* Virtual exemption for start-up firms, including five-year-old registered establishments with annual turnover of not more than Rs 25 crore, from obligations under nine basic labour laws.
*Amendments to the Apprentices Act that direct State governments to absorb half of the apprentices cost for a company having less than 250 workers, opening the doors for employers to replace regular workers with apprentices.
* Under the Industrial Relations Code Bill 2015, employers with up to 300 workers would not require government permission for retrenchment, lay off and closure.
What we demand?
1) End all moves to dilute and kill existing labour laws
2) Strengthen labour law enforcement machinery
3) Introduce punitive fines and jail terms for violation of basic labour laws
4) Stop privatisation
5) Stop contracterisation and casualisation. Regularise such workers
6) Stop concessions on labour laws for foreign investors
7) Allow free and untrammeled right of workers to organise and use all legal means of protest including strikes

To avoid any possibility of artifacts related to the diphone synthesizer itself, the present study was carried out using the HYBRID and PSOLA methods for pitch modification on digitized monosyllabic words recorded by talkers for this experiment. Forty-nine non-words were selected from the list used by Spiegel, et al. (1990) for assessing consonant intelligibility. The words chosen were those which included the English voiced and voiceless stops, singly or in clusters, in either word onsets or offsets/affixes. The 49 words were recorded by two female talkers, one an adult and one a 10 year old child. With each talker seated in an IAC booth, two channels of data were recorded to DAT tape: the audio signal; and the output of a Glottal Enterprises electroglotagraph (EGG). The EGG output was used to assign pitch period markers for voiced regions of the speech. For processing, the audio output of the DAT recording was filtered and sampled at 20.050 kHz with 16-bit resolution on an SGI Indy computer. Individual tokens were located, excised from the recording, and saved for subsequent processing. Three words were found to contain dysfluencies or were simply mispronounced by one or the other of the two talkers. One of these words was removed from the corpus of one talker, but the other words remained in the corpus for the listening sessions. None of the three words for either talker were included in the final data analysis.
Four F0-shifted stimuli were generated from each natural token by shifting the F0 of the original up by a factor of 1.6, or down by a factor of .7 using each of the two processing methods (PSOLA and HYBRID). In all there were thus 485 stimuli (2 TALKERS by 5 F0-SHIFT conditions (original speech plus two shift directions and two shift methods) by 49 WORDS for one talker and 48 for the other). Examples of the syllable "blerk" as produced by each talker, and in each of the shifted F0 conditions, are audible via Table I.
