Property Tax Abatement Assistance
Board of Tax Appeals
The Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA) Liaison provides instruction and technical assistance to parties interested in property tax abatement. In 1998, the Kansas Legislature adopted K.S.A. 79-213, which authorizes the Kansas Department of Commerce to provide aid to businesses and governmental entities applying for economic development and/or industrial revenue bond tax abatements. In 2006, the Kansas legislature passed K.S.A. 79-223, legislation that exempts property tax on commercial and industrial machinery and equipment brought into Kansas after June 30, 2006.
The BOTA Liaison works with the Board of Tax Appeals to facilitate tax exemptions. Additionally, the liaison:
Reviews applications and related documents submitted for tax abatement
Explains policy and procedures
Makes recommendations
Assists in certification completion
This tax abatement assistance is available at no charge.

When we do a search for information about kitchen cabinet lighting, then we will find there are a range of options that we can get to maximize the appearance of kitchen cabinets and kitchen as a whole. Lighting is one important element that will help improve the function and beauty of a room, including the kitchen. We not only implement one type of lighting in the kitchen, as well as many done by the homeowner, but we also must consider a number of other decorative items and trying to make it look more WOW, including kitchen cabinet.
Kitchen cabinet lighting that we choose should be able to blend in well with their surroundings and would be a good idea if we decide to use dimmable lighting. This is because we had the opportunity to control the type of lighting whenever we want it.
(1) Rope lights – this is one type of lighting that can be installed with a variety of creative ways and make it as under cabinet lights. By using this lighting, we had the opportunity to bring light soffits in the small kitchen. If we want to save more energy, then select LED rope lights. Do not worry about the cost because this is the type of lighting that is affordable and very easy to install.
(2) Puck lights – this is one type of lighting that we can apply to the under cabinet which will be one of the lighting alternatives if we do not want to use rope lights. It will be one of the lighting that complements the kitchen cabinets and countertops. Additionally, puck lights would be one option cabinet light fixtures are outstanding that can be used for larger sized cabinets to illuminate the contents and provide general lighting for a number of activities and kitchen items.
(3) Recessed lights – this is one option for kitchen cabinet lighting that will help add a touch of eclectic, especially when we apply modern style. This is the type of lighting that will be installed permanently in the cabinet that offers a range of types of lamps that we can choose as you wish, including fluorescent lighting to energy saving, and for the bright white halogen light.
(4) Linear lighting strips – this is a kind of cabinet lighting is widely touted as the most versatile because we can use it to serve different types of construction, both commercial and residential. Lighting is equipped with energy-saving fluorescent and LED light strips that will improve the lighting functions in under-cabinet or over cabinet without neglecting the quality is high. To note, linear lighting strips can be matched with a number of lamps including LED bulbs, xenon, fluorescent, and incandescent.

Temple near Burwa Sagor
Photographer: Dayal, Deen
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1882
Photograph of the Jarai-ki-Math Temple at Pathera, near Barwa Sagar in Uttar Pradesh, taken by Deen Dayal in 1882, from the Lee-Warner Collection: 'Scenes and Sculptures of Central India, Photographed by Lala Deen Diyal, Indore.'. In the North-Western Provinces List of 1891 A. Fuhrer wrote, "On the village lands, about a little less than three miles to the west of Barua Sagar, near the village of Phatera, is a temple-tower of the ninth century, built on the summit of a dih, and called Jarah-ki-Math, constructed of solid blocks of sandstone, richly carved with figures from the Hindu pantheon...Externally it measures about 22 feet by nine feet, originally it extended at least another nine feet in an eastward direction. It is built in the form of a sikhara, the outline of which is simple. A great portion of the east facade is covered with "horse-shoe" diaper work, and profusely ornamented with figure carving of a high class nature. On the north and south sides project hooded balconies, and the west is broken up by buttresses. The interior is square, and contains an image of Siva and Parvati.At the angles are eight massive stone shafts of the later Gupta period, which support lintels carrying a beautifully-carved ceiling. There are several masons' records on the lintels in characters of the later Gupta period, and a fragmentary inscription of the same time on a statue of Durga."

Malcolm in the Middle''s Jane Kaczmarek gets real.
Actress Jane Kaczmarek and her husband, Bradley Whitford, are television's favorite "it" couple. Both are on hit shows, she playing Lois, the blue-collar mom on Fox's Malcolm in the Middle, he playing White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on NBC's The West Wing. Off screen, they are parents to
daughter Frances, 4, and son George, 2. We caught up with Kaczmarek, 46, when she was five months pregnant with the couple's third child.
Fit Pregnancy: You have recently been nominated for a third Emmy, and you'll be seven months pregnant at the time of the awards show. What do you plan to wear?
Jane Kaczmarek: Oh, I can't really pick anything yet; my body's going to change so much between now and then. But I'll tell you something I'm not wearing: high heels.
What about sexy undergarments?
I don't think so. For me, there's a big difference between having a baby in your 20s and having a baby in your 40s. When you're pregnant in your 40s, you do not want to wear thongs. I want underpants that are as big and wide and absorbent as possible. Brad calls them my Romanian tumbling briefs.
So how is Brad with your pregnant body? Does he refer to you in terms such as "goddess"?
Uh, no. Mostly we laugh at the massive changes. Like, when I was pregnant with my son three years ago, I weighed 175 pounds and had varicose veins the size of my thumb. Afterward, my hair was coming out in handfuls. But, of course, that was the year I got nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Malcolm. I kept thinking, "Jeez! Now I get the acclaim!" Not
during the years when I was always dieting, wearing my padded bra and my high heels. When I think of all the years in my 30s when I starved myself … but when I got the role of Lois, I stopped thinking about my looks and was just myself.
Both on screen and off.
Exactly. Of course, after my son's birth, I was nominated for the two awards, which got me to work with a trainer. Awards shows are my greatest inducement to get back into shape. All of a sudden you think, "Uh-oh. Time to drop a few pounds." Then, the day before the Emmys, I went to Sears and bought a really good girdle. And I've worn that thing to every awards show since.
You became a star at middle age. You're our hero!
I think it helps that it came later in life for both Brad and me, because we had established a life before all this happened. So this kind of success seemed more like, "Huh?" Not, "Yesssss!"
By the way, what are you doing for fitness now?
I've gone back to the Pilates class I took when I was pregnant with my daughter. And I walk. Brad is much more of a workout person. He wakes up every morning and does his yoga and can't go to bed without doing some kind of exercise. I think it's a pretty good day if I can get through it without lifting a finger.
When do you start filming Malcolm again?
In about two weeks. We take our hiatus around Halloween, and the baby's due around Thanksgiving. But my son came a month early, and Halloween will be about eight months ...
We see they're going to write your pregnancy into the show.
Yeah. Last time they didn't, so they were always having me hold really big frying pans.
This time you'll be carrying a baby.
Right. Soon Malcolm really will be in the middle.
Are you having food cravings with this pregnancy?
Last week I had a thing for Waldorf salad. I was buying groceries and saw it at the deli counter and got a pint. When I got home, I had a bite or two and thought, "Well, that's awfully good." And I ate all of it. But my old standby is Spam. There's the salt, and it's just so darned flavorful! I grew up on Spam.
What about nesting? Have you gone nuts decorating the baby's room?
You know, I really fixed that room up before my daughter was born, which was before Malcolm. I had a lot of time, so I sewed the drapes, and I sewed the valances. It's sweet, looking back on those days before Malcolm and The West Wing. I remember it was really hot that year, and Brad borrowed a window air conditioner for our bedroom. Now we have central air and life has changed …
... just a tad.
Yep. Just a tad. Anyway, this baby will have his or her own room. And our other two will share a room. We're all
doubling up for a while.
What are your favorite post-Malcolm luxuries?
I have a bidet now. I live for my bidet. You want to save some time in your life? Get a bidet. This is my favorite thing in the household. You can wash your feet in it. The kids like it because it's low. So they wash their hands in there. It's a great invention. I'm serious.
Do you have mood swings?
Only when I read the front page of The New York Times.
Do people confuse Brad with his character?
Oh, yeah. They've asked him to run for office. I've said, "Oh, right. You can run for office when the kids are in college."What about you? Do you mind being mistaken for Lois?
No—I love Lois! I've never found anything she's done to be outrageous. The writers always find a way of showing that she cares about those kids. I can't imagine having four children, three of them at home, that close in age, of the same sex, with no one to help.
Will you and Lois handle pregnancy in a similar way?
Well, I love having kids. But I have the advantage of having a lot of help, a real hands-on husband and small children whom I can easily manipulate. Lois has no cleaning lady, no baby sitter, no nanny, nobody helping to cook, and she's living on diminished wages. I think if I had her circumstances I would react exactly as Lois does …
... you'd shriek?
Yep. I'd shriek.

Dog panniculitis is a condition in which the layer of fat just underneath a dog's skin becomes
inflamed. This can result in small, inflamed
nodules which protrude through the skin. Panniculitis can be caused by any factor that irritates
the fat layer. This can include reaction to a shot, trauma, impairment of the blood supply,
immune disorders and bacterial or fungal infection. Although all breeds as susceptible,
dachshunds are the most vulnerable. Dog panniculitis has no age or sex predisposition.
The symptoms of dog panniculitis are reddened, firm, painful nodules under the
skin. They are usually solitary, but can appear in groups. The nodules can appear anywhere, but they most likely manifest themselves on the abdomen, chest, neck,
and footpads. Treatment often involves the surgical removal of the nodules. An antibiotic or antifungal medication may be necessary as well. Regardless, you will need to consult with a veterinarian.
The prognosis for recovery is high if the underlying cause of the panniculitis has been corrected.
I hope your find this useful!

Auckland's Unitary Plan, touted as a major piece to solving the city's tricky housing problems, has come under fire from the Labour Party.
Leader Andrew Little says, according to modelling undertaken as part of the Unitary Plan, only 15 percent of new homes expected to be built under the plan would cost less than $800,000.
"The majority of these houses will be out of the reach of most Auckland families," he says.
The modelling was done for the Independent Hearing Panel and found that of the 247,000 new homes planned within the existing urban area, many would price beyond $1 million.
Current house prices in Auckland are averaging around $900,000.
Mr Little says less than 2 percent of new homes will cost less than $600,000, while just one house is expected to be sold for less than $500,000.
"The mortgage on a $600,000 home costs nearly half of the median Auckland income, meaning 98 percent of these 247,000 houses will be unaffordable to the typical family.
"If this is National's brave new world, then they are even more out of touch than anyone suspected," Mr Little says.

Real vs. Fake Heroes in the Philippines:
1) Did the person live a heroic life?
2) Did the person die a heroic death?
3) Did the people admire the HEROISM?
Remembering Ninoy Aquino In The Age Of Fake Heroes!
"The moment you say no to tyranny, you are beginning the struggle. No to tyranny! No to degradation of human dignity! "Ninoy
Is a Filipino more comfortable under an authoritarian leader because he does not want to be burdened with the freedom of choice? Is he unprepared or, worse, ill-suited for presidential or parliamentary democracy?
"Where are the youth who will generously pour out their blood to wash away so much shame, so much crime, so much abomination?"
Jose Rizal
" Where are the youth who will consecrate their budding years, their idealism and enthusiasm to the welfare of their country? Where are the youth who will generously pour out their blood to wash away so much shame, so much crime, so much abomination? Pure and spotless must the victim be, that the sacrifice may be acceptable! Where are you, youth, who will embody in yourselves the vigor of life that has lift our veins, the purity of ideas that has been contaminated in our hearts? We await you, O youth! Come, for we await you!"
Jose Rizal
Cory And Ninoy In Marcos' Military TribunalThe declaration of martial law on September 21, 1972 ushered in the defining phase in Ninoy's evolution as a leader. Before then, it was generally assumed that he would ascend to the nation's highest office as the Liberal Party's standard bearer in the 1973 presidential elections. Instead, he wound up the most high-profile political prisoner as Ferdinand Marcos suspended the Constitution, abolished Congress, silenced the opposition and the media, and ruled by decree on the pretext that he needed emergency powers to quell a communist insurgency and a Muslim secessionist rebellion.
While incarcerated in Fort Bonifacio, Ninoy managed to communicate with underground elements of the opposition who eluded arrest and to even have articles critical of martial law published in the foreign press. In an effort to break his spirit, Marcos had Ninoy and Senator Jose "Pepe" Diokno secretly brought to Fort Magsaysay in Laur, Nueva Ecija, where the two were placed in solitary confinement.
In those trying times, Ninoy began to question his faith as he wondered why God would allow him to suffer such indignity and injustice. Rejecting the authority of the military tribunal tasked to pass judgment on his guilt or innocence in the face of trumped-up charges of murder, subversion, and illegal possession of firearms, he went on a 40-day hunger strike that nearly cost him his life.
But, in the depths of his desolation, he realized that he had in fact been living a charmed life and felt shame at whimpering when his character was placed under its most severe test. There began a spiritual transformation that would see Ninoy evolve from a brilliant and ambitious politician to a selfless servant leader who surrendered himself to the will of God.
As expected, the military tribunal pronounced him guilty and sentenced him to die by musketry in 1977. However, the Marcos government could not carry out death sentence as its human rights record came under intense international scrutiny. Ninoy was even allowed to run for a Metro Manila seat in the Interim Batasang Pambansa in 1978. With only his family and a ragtag ticket campaigning for him, the imprisoned Aquino still gave the dictatorship a scare as polls showed him a shoo-in for a Batasan seat and as a noise barrage rocked the metropolis on the eve of election day. With the counting of ballots under their control, the administration Kilusang Bagong Lipunan swept the elections.
On his seventh year and seventh month in prison, Ninoy got his divine reprieve in a strange sort of way. He suffered a heart attack and, to his surprise, Marcos allowed him to go to the United States for bypass surgery. From ninoyaquino.ph
"During those eight years, I learned the true meaning of humiliation, of courage, of hunger and endless anxiety. Rather than be bitter I have learned to accept my suffering as a cleansing process and a rare opportunity to really grapple with the problems of the Filipino." Ninoy
"I recalled the situation in my prison. There in that prison I shared a cell with a great Filipino. His name is Senator Jose W. Diokno, one of the most respected men in our country, a man who could not be bribed, a man whose towering integrity is a by-word with the youth. He stayed with me for two years in jail, and then after two years, he was released, no charges, no explanation. There were a hundred thousand Filipinos who went through those jails, hardly 10% were charged. They were arrested without charges. They were released without explanation. That is what happened to our country. And what about the mothers and the children who lost their breadwinners when these people went to jail? In my compound, there were only four of us: myself, Jose Maria Sison, his wife and Lieutenant Corpus. I did not know that there was another one, a fifth one, who was barely a hundred and fifty meters away from my cell. I never knew that there was a young man by the name of Sixto Carlos, Jr. because only when I was released that I finally read his poignant story. You know what they did to this man? They tortured him no end for two weeks. They kept him in a safe house. They fed him poison and his body became numb, and finally he lost his senses and therefore, they cannot bring him back to his family because they took him apart and they could not take him back together. This young man was a student leader in the U.P. He did not see the sun and the moon for 124 days. He was chained to his gut. Jose Maria Sison was chained to his gut. His feet were chained. His hand was chained. You cannot see a more inhumane situation, and I want to tell you my friends, until you have tasted this loneliness, you will not know what solitary confinement means. "
And therefore, as I thought back that there are still many valiant Filipinos who are fighting for freedom, fighting for your right to speak. These are the people who are putting their lives on the line. These are people who abandon their loved ones and the comforts of their home, the wealth of their offices, to be able to bring our freedom back, and to be true to our founding fathers. And so I told my wife, "Much as we have found our peace and our freedom, I will have to return to combat." Ninoy's Speech in L.A.
Max Soliven recalls Ninoy Aquino: Unbroken
Ninoy's optimism was a revelation. For the treatment at the hands of his captors had grown worse after most of us had gone, not better. By March 1973, Ninoy himself recounted it in a letter to "Monsignor" Soc Rodrigo, he was averaging 1,200 Hail Mary's a day. On March 12, Ninoy was led to a blue Volkswagen Combi and saw Pepe Diokno already seated inside. The two of them were hustled aboard a blue and white helicopter "with a presidential seal," blindfolded and handcuffed. The chopper took off and landed (as they found out weeks later) in Fort Magsaysay in Laur, Nueva Ecija. "When the blindfold was finally removed," Ninoy recalled, "I found myself inside a newly painted room, roughly four by five meters with barred windows, the outside of which was boarded with plywood panels." Only a six-inch gap between the panels provided air and light. A bright neon-tube burned day and night. There were no electric switches, the door room was bare except for a steel bed without mattress. No chairs, tables, nothing.
Ninoy was stripped naked, his wedding ring, watch, eye-glasses, shoes, clothes, taken away. A guard brought in a bedpan and said that he would be allowed to go to the bathroom only once daily in the morning to shower, brush his teeth and wash his clothes. He was issued two jockey briefs and two T-shirts and instructed to wash one set everyday. Diokno apparently occupied the adjoining "box" but they were warned not to try to communicate with each other.
The cruel part of this punishment (Ninoy was never informed what they were being punished for) was that all his belongings — ring, watch, glasses, were given to his wife, Cory, without explanation. For a horrified period of time, his mother and his brothers and sisters, and Cory and the children, could only despair that Ninoy was dead. Eventually they located him, but they were powerless to do anything. Ninoy and Pepe endured 30 days in their stifling boxes — during the hottest time of the year. It was a transparent attempt to break Aquino's and Diokno's will.
On Aug. 27, 1973, back in Bonifacio, Ninoy was brought before a Military Tribunal, specifically Military Commission No. 2 chaired by Brigadier Gen. Jose G. Syjuco. Ninoy was charged with alleged violations of Republic Act No. 1700, the Anti-Subversion Law, with four separate charges and a total of nine specifications including murder, subversion, illegal possession of firearms. He refused to take part in such a farce of a trial, asserting that military officers should not be allowed to try him since their commander-in-chief, President Marcos, had already declared him "guilty" in his public pronouncements. Moreover, sentence by a military tribunal did not permit him an appeal to the Supreme Court. "I will not participate," he stated, "You can dispose of my flesh, but I cannot yield to you my spirit and conscience."
Aquino's defiance led to the suspensions of hearings for a year and a half, but on March 31, 1975, his objections were brushed aside by the tribunal which proceeded, after a few — and starts to "reinvestigate" witnesses against him Huk Commanders Melody, Ligaya and Pusa, Tarlac politician Max Llorente, and others. Ninoy put up no defense for the trial that was launched in 1973 and finally concluded in 1977. He simply expresses his innocence.
On April 4, 1975, he announced that he was starting a fast to the death to protest the injustice of his military tribunal. Ten days after the "fast" began, he instructed his lawyer to withdraw all motions he had submitted to the Supreme Court. As weeks went by, he took no food, only salt tablets, sodium bicarbonate, and amino acids and two glasses of water a day. Even as he grew weaker, undergoing chills and cramps, the soldiers forcibly dragged him to the military tribunal's session. His family and hundreds of friends heard Mass nightly at the Santuario de San Jose in Greenhills, praying that he would not die. Near the end, Aquino's weight had dropped from 160 to only 120 pounds, and he could not neither stand nor sit. On March 13, 1975, on the 40th day of his fast, he noted that it was the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. His family and several priests and friends, begged him to stop his fast, pointing out that even our Lord had only fasted 40 days and nights. "I want to die today," he prayed to God, "but if You do not allow me to die, I'll take it You want me to continue my work. Your will be done."
He survived. He had made his gesture. Offered his sacrifice up to God. But at 10:25 a.m. on Nov. 27,1977, Military Commission No. 2 sentenced Aquino and his two co-accused, Bernabe Buscayno (Commander Dante) and Lt. Victor Corpuz, to death by firing squad.
Ninoy called the act an "indecent and immoral rush to judgment." But as he said, "a time comes in a man's life when he must take a stand and make a painful decision: to willingly die for his principles or surrender. I have opted to die for my principles because my cause transcends my individual self and freedom."
You did not die in vain.
We will continue the struggle against authoritarianism!
We swear to defend PH democracy!

Frank Lampard always gives his all in an England shirt even though he hasn't always been appreciated by supporters who, at one time, did not think he could play in the same team as Steven Gerrard. Here are five key moments in the Chelsea midfielder's previous 99 matches for his country.
MORE: Meet England's 100-cap club
MORE: Milner set for Kiev start
Portugal 2 England 2 (aet), Euro 2004 quarter-final
Lampard was not selected for the England squads going to Euro 2000 and the World Cup two years later, but showed he was not out of place when he played in his first major championships. He scored against France and Croatia in the group stage and was then on target with an extra-time equaliser against hosts Portugal in the quarter-finals. England went on to lose on penalties but Lampard's performances were recognised by Uefa and he was included in its team of the tournament.
England 2 Poland 1, 2006 World Cup qualifying
Named England Player of the Year by fans in 2004, he won the same accolade 12 months later thanks to his efforts in World Cup qualifying. In a tight group, Lampard's winner against Poland secured a place at the finals in Germany.
England 3 Estonia 0, Euro 2008 qualifying
Despite being a two-time Player of the Year for the Three Lions, Lampard was booed by some England fans after coming off the bench as they believed he failed to produce his best form for his country. Joe Cole stuck up for his team-mate when he said: 'For me he's one of the best players in the world and doesn't deserve it.'
Germany 4 England 1, World Cup 2010 second round
Matthew Upson had reduced the arrears and Lampard thought he had levelled with a superb finish over Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The ball clearly crossed the line but no goal was awarded, robbing England of any chance of progressing into the quarter-finals. The incident played a major part in the introduction of goal-line technology.
England 2 Brazil 1, 2013 friendly
At a time when his future at Stamford Bridge was in doubt, Lampard showed he could still compete at the highest level with an exquisite winner against Brazil. The half-time substitute curled in a shot from the edge of the area to seal England's first victory over the South Americans in 23 years.

Nissan Sport Sedan Concept turns heads in the Motor City
Offering the most direct look yet at a future production model, the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept boldly rolled into Detroit showcasing visual cues the automaker also will incorporate into the next generation of its coupes, crossovers and sedans. While Nissan execs didn't say what 4-door model this one-off may be previewing, based on its size and release timing, it seems likely to be the precursor to the upcoming Maxima due out sometime next year.
2014 Detroit Auto Show: The New Cars
The third in a series of advanced styling exercises that began last year in Detroit with the Nissan Resonance crossover and was followed by the Friend-ME in Shanghai, the new Sport Sedan Concept puts its own spin on the three key themes introduced on those vehicles. Up front, Nissan's latest dream machine features the new "V-motion" motif that matches a prominent chrome-embellished grille with character lines that flow back through the hood. It also has dramatic boomerang-shaped front/rear lighting elements along with a floating roof panel supported by elegantly thin pillars.
"Nissan's design language is our brand promise - Innovation and Excitement for Everyone - rendered in metal," said Nissan Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura, who confirmed the car's more emotional and exciting look provides "a strong hint of the design direction we are taking."
10 Best Luxury Cars Under $40,000 for 2014
The result of an international co-operative effort, the Sport Sedan Concept was created by Nissan Design America in San Diego, California and developed at the Nissan Global Design Center in Atsugi, Japan. Barely an inch longer than the current Maxima, the show car is 3.5 inches lower, 2.1 inches wider and has a 1.9 inch longer wheelbase. Yet its boldly contoured bodywork finished in high-profile Strad-Amber candy color clearcoat and bespoke 21-inch aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile 275/30 performance tires make an unforgettable statement that we think bodes well for Nissan.
The new design ethos also extends into the cabin of the Sport Sedan Concept, which Nissan says features styling elements that reflect future production designs. Although the transition to volume-build status would undoubtedly scale back some of its more dramatic aspects, the presence of premium materials, high-contrast colors and geometric 3D graphic trim and upholstery treatments are valid indicators of what to expect.
Also: 2014 Compact Cars at a glance
As with many show vehicles, mechanical details about the Sport Sedan Concept were fairly minimal. We do know that it's fitted with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes over 300 horsepower and is backed by a sport-tuned CVT automatic transmission. In keeping with its character, this could-be Nissan also features an "innovative" suspension design complete with performance shocks.
"Nissan is a brand for people seeking bold and passionate experiences, and who are willing to make choices outside of traditional boundaries," notes Nakamura. "That's why Nissan is committed to breaking new ground in automotive design, as expressed in the stunning new Sport Sedan Concept." We should soon know exactly how much of that outside-the-box thinking actually makes it into the next-gen Maxima.

Freeing Your Day Care Workers to Love the Children
In any business, how successful you are will to a large extent depend on your employees. So when you are running your own day care business, the people who spend every hour of their working day making that day care run smoothly are your lifeline to success. Unless your day care is just you and five kids, you are going to have to hire day care workers to help keep things running the way they should. In addition to being a small business owner and the one who calls the shots around your day care business, you also a boss. And what separates a good boss from a bad one is how well you can keep your workers focused on their goals and how well you reward good work in the staff you keep. The first step of making sure you have people in your day care working for you that are going to make your day care a success is the selection process.
The normal rules for recruiting apply including references, background checks and experience. But the interview may be even more important than any of that. You can tell a lot about the personality of the worker by making the interview informal and focused on the lifestyle of someone who works with children all day long. This most important aspect of any worker you have is that they like children and that children like them back. Of course, their awareness of safety and health and their job of making sure the rules of the day care are followed are also important.
But if your workers are going to make you a success, they must enjoy their time with the kids not only guiding them but playing with them. So one innovative approach to the interview process is to let the children interview them. You might even have a second interview that lasts half of a day and just let the prospective worker be with the kids in a "try out" mode to see how it goes. The rational behind putting such a high priority on finding and retaining day care workers who have a natural affinity to kids seems obvious but there is a good business reason behind it also. Success in the day care business is measured in kids. The number of kids you have and keep coming back to be "citizens" of your day care community is what will make you successful. Not only that but if the children are happy in your day care center, they will want their friends there and they will tell their parents that they are happy which means referrals. All of that leads to long term success for your day care business. So making it possible for the children in your day care to genuinely enjoy the people who are there to care for them is not only your calling in life as a day care owner, its makes good business sense too. There is a lot you can do from an administrative point of view to free your day care workers to love those kids and make their time with you a time they want to rush back to tomorrow, next week and next month.
One big mistake many employers make is to burden the staff with a lot of administrative work such as filling out paperwork, dealing with maintenance or discipline issues that take them away from the larger population of children that they are there to serve. If you have a child that needs special attention, create a culture in your day care where the primary caregiver knows to turn that special issue over to you or a dedicated staff member so he or she can return to caring for the group. Create an open atmosphere of communication with your workers so if there are either individual problems or problems that could affect the entire day care, those workers can come to you and talk about them. That ability to communicate will head off many problems and nip them in the bud. There is a lot you can do to keep unnecessary worries off of the minds of your workers. By making it possible for your workers to focus on the kids, you keep them happy and you keep the kids happy. And that is a sure fire formula for success for any day care center.

Container Instance Draining
There are times when you might need to remove a container instance from a cluster; for example, to perform system updates, update the Docker daemon, or scale down the cluster size. Container instance draining enables you to remove a container instance from a cluster without impacting tasks in your cluster.
When you set a container instance to
DRAINING, Amazon ECS prevents new tasks
from being scheduled for placement on the container instance. Service tasks on the
draining container instance that are in the
PENDING state are stopped
immediately. If there are container instances in the cluster that are available,
replacement service tasks are started on them.
Service tasks on the container instance that are in the
RUNNING state are
stopped and replaced according to the service's deployment configuration parameters,
minimumHealthyPercent and
minimumHealthyPercentis below 100%, the scheduler can ignore
desiredCounttemporarily during task replacement. For example,
desiredCountis four tasks, a minimum of 50% allows the scheduler to stop two existing tasks before starting two new tasks. If the minimum is 100%, the service scheduler can't remove existing tasks until the replacement tasks are considered healthy. If tasks for services that do not use a load balancer are in the
RUNNINGstate, they are considered healthy. Tasks for services that use a load balancer are considered healthy if they are in the
RUNNINGstate and the container instance they are hosted on is reported as healthy by the load balancer.
maximumPercentparameter represents an upper limit on the number of running tasks during task replacement, which enables you to define the replacement batch size. For example, if
desiredCountof four tasks, a maximum of 200% starts four new tasks before stopping the four tasks to be drained (provided that the cluster resources required to do this are available). If the maximum is 100%, then replacement tasks can't start until the draining tasks have stopped.
For more information, see Service Definition Parameters.
PENDING or

are unaffected; you must wait for them to finish or stop them manually.

Sony Announces new NEX-5R with Hybrid AF System and Suite of PlayMemories Camera and Mobile AppsSony has just announced the new NEX-5R mirrorless interchangeable lens camera to enhance their existing NEX Camera Lineup. The new Sony NEX-5R uses a newly developed 16.1 Megapixel HD CMOS EXMOR Sensor that contains a lot of new technology. Not only can the new Sony take Still Photos, but it can record high quality video in a variety of modes, including 1080p super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920×1080 resolution.
This new model contains a host of new features, including a new Hybrid Autofocus System that uses 99 phase-detection AF points arrayed on the image sensor to detect a subject's distance and quickly lock focus on it, and then uses contrast-detection AF to confirm extremely fine, precise details.
The new Hybrid AF design allows users to track rapidly moving subjects via Phase Detect AF, as you would normally find in a dSLR model versus a Mirrorless Compact Camera. Sony is not the only one to integrate the Phase Detect AF Sensors into the main Imaging Sensor, so that no separate AF Sensor is needed to provide faster Focus. This is similar to the Hybrid AF technology we saw introduced in Nikon's 1 Series cameras, like the recently announced J2, which has 73 AF points on the main imaging sensor used for Phase Detect AF.
In Speed Priority Continuous Shooting Mode, the Sony NEX-5R switches to Phase Detect AF Tracking automatically using it's 99 AF points to maintain accurate focus on a subject while taking photos at up to 10 frames per second. That's the kind of performance you normally see from a high end Professional Grade dSLR, not from a smaller Compact Camera model like the NEX-5R. The evolution of technology we're seeing in newer cameras like this is amazing.
The new Sony 5R also includes WiFi, a feature we're beginning to see in more newer cameras now, along with a touch screen interface built into the tilting LCD. If you have a Smart Phone or Tablet running iOS or Android, you'll be pleased to know that you can upload photos to your Mobile Device directly from the 5R. In addition, content can be directly uploaded to FaceBook.
Thanks to Sony's new PlayMemories Mobile App for Android and iOS, you can also remote control the NEX-5R using your mobile device, and even send content from the Phone to DLNA enabled TVs and devices like some of the Sony Bravia TV Models. The advances in technology making it easy to share content between multiple devices is a welcome addition to digital cameras like this new Sony.
Sony has also announced a new PlayMemories Camera and Mobile app suite that will be available for the NEX-5R and future models. This new app will let users download new applications to the camera. For example, at launch, camera owners can download apps for Picture Effect+; Bracket Pro, Multi Frame NR, Photo Retouch, and Smart Remote Control (the application that lets you control your camera from a smart phone or tablet running iOS or Android). A variety of other apps including Time-Lapse and Cinematic Photo are also planned for release soon.
As part of this product launch, Sony has also announced a content sharing service called PlayMemories Online. That way, users of the NEX-5R can upload photos and videos directly to a Cloud based storage offering for sharing of content with others. The Content stored in PlayMemories Online will also be viewable on newer Sony Bravia Series TVs,
On top of this, Sony announced a new PlayMemories Studio, that includes features that let you view videos and photos on a PlayStation3, as well as the ability to output images to Sony's 4K Televisions like the new Sony Bravia XBR084x900 4K LED TV PlayMemories Studio also lets you upload content to YouTube and PlayMemories Online.
We are pleased at the direction we see Sony moving toward with its new Sony NEX-5R and PlayMemories service offerings, and can't wait to get our hands on one for testing.
Make sure to see our Sony NEX-5R Preview here.

January 2019
A super holiday home which was well equipped and close to good local amenities. One (very) minor issue was a lack of bin bags in the kitchen.
September 2018
This house is beautiful, with a short walk down the footpath to West Bay, pubs, fish and chips and bakery. The house is so light and spacious it is a pleasure to spend time in. The location half way between Lyme Regis and Weymouth also enables easy visits to both. All in all one of our best holidays for our large family group.
July 2018
Yes we had a lovely stay and really enjoyed spending time in the area and the beautiful house just what we had hoped for.
June 2018
Fantastic house, very comfortable and well equipped. Wonderful view and location. Would definitely stay here again.
April 2018
Place was well located and well equipped. Didn't like main large gates having to be left open especially as the road outside was very busy.
Thank you for the 4 star rating and feedback. The property is in a superb location, being an easy walk to town and West Bay. The big gates are normally left open to give guests the added convenience of driving in and out with ease, which we feel is more beneficial.

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDGE: Iran: Rumors of War
Is Israel really planning to attack Iran, or are declarations about the possibility of a pre-emptive strike at Teheran's nuclear program simply bombast? Does President Obama's "we have your back" comment about Israel mean the U.S. will join an assault? What happens if the attack doesn't accomplish its goals, an outcome predicted by virtually every military analyst? In that case, might the Israelis, facing a long, drawn out war, resort to the unthinkable: nuclear weapons? -more-

Words Like Girls
"You know I can't construct a poem
cause words, like girls, get bored and run."
-The Format
A Brief History Of Modern Painting
Listeria II: Goodbyes
The past week has seen a lot of losses. You might want to find a Kleenex box and scroll to the bottom of the post to refer to my handy list of Top Ten Goodbye Songs before continuing. You could also just pop in a NOW! cd, because most songs I put on the list have been on those compilations .. no surprise there.
1. Goodbye, crappy white Macbook.
After 3.5 years of constant use/abuse, you might think that this computer is totally unusable. That's sort of true, because it was totally unusable until 2 days ago, when it was given a new hard drive, new battery, and sent to Mexico.
This computer has seen me through the thick and think of my adolescence. When I was in France, it was my connection to Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts in Newport Beach. It was also my connection to people I actually knew/ college acceptance emails/lots of music, but most importantly it endured hours upon hours of Californiaaa Here We Coooome.
At Carleton, this computer saw me through my linguistics all-nighter, my Latin American Poetry all-nighter, my Arrested Development all-nighter, my English all-nighters, and my many many many studio art all-nighters. The night I was supposed to spend writing an art history essay, I instead spent in the library trying not to cry as Ernesto did his best to salvage my waterlogged computer. I had walked in the rain for 7 minutes, and 7 minutes was enough to ruin the laptop.
NOT! Because my computer is a FIGHTER and on the third day (or the fifteenthth day) it was risen from the dead in glory and splendor and with minimal screen damage. Not to draw inappropriate comparisons.. but that MacBook could've come straight out of the New Testament.
2. Goodbye, Memory Card
So about 36 hours ago I realized that my camera was missing its memory card. Seeing as how the last place I'd left it was approx. 2 inches away from my trash can, and how I've searched EVERYWHERE, I'm assuming it fell in and is now sitting in a landfill next to a bunch of pizza boxes and old tires. It's unfortunate because the neither the pizza boxes or the tires have any way to enjoy the 594 pictures that were on there, so they'll assume that Mr. Memory Card is just boring and quiet and they won't bother starting a conversation when actually he's got 594 stories to tell if anyone would just say "Hey."
3. Goodbye, Yellow Sunglasses
I'd been waiting 7 LONG MONTHS for there to be enough sun that I needed to wear these. Two weeks into that long-awaited springtime, I found away to drop, step on, and break the sunglasses all in half a second. That makes these the fourth pair of glasses I've stepped on in the past year. Owning glasses = constant heartbreak.

That makes these the fourth pair of glasses I've stepped on in the past year. Owning glasses = constant heartbreak.
My life won't ever be the same without the three of you. Even if I try to replace each of you with bigger and better products, a little bit of me will always be stuck saying "Goodbye." I hope you'll be saying it back to me.
Top Ten Goodbye Songs (dedicated to Crappy MacBook, Memory Card, Yellow Sunglasses, and all of the other possessions I will someday break or misplace):
10. All I Have (ft. LL Cool J) – J. Lo. For all the times you don't want to say goodbye. For all the times J.Lo is bouncin' and you can't do anything about it but rap to try to convince her to stay. 'Instead of beefin come hold me, I promise I'm not a phony.'
9. Closing Time – Semisonic This song is the kind of thing that everyone pretends to hate, they roll their eyes when it starts playing and shake their heads at the DJ, but they secretly know all of the lyrics and get sort of sad when it's over. Also see The Graduation Song by Vitamin C and Good Riddance by Greenday.
8. Cry Me A River – Justin Timberlake So Justin tries to act very strong and detached during this song, but if you listen hard enough, you can tell that it's hurting him to leave. He's mad, and when people are mad they act detached and cold, but the verses in falsetto give him away. He's crying himself a river, that's how hard it is for him to say goodbye.
7. Won't Go Home Without You – Maroon 5 I guess this is another song that's more about not wanting to say 'Goodbye,' which makes it close enough to a Goodbye song.
6. Bye Bye Bye – N*Sync
It's cliche, but it would be blasphemous to NOT have this song on this list. Besides, I'm pretty sure that the Bye Bye Bye Clap has replaced the Wave Goodbye.
5. Let It Burn – Usher There's a fine line between a regular break-up song and an actual goodbye song. The typical break up song is mostly angry or bitter, and few are as emotionally well-rounded as this one. Or if not well-rounded, it's a little confusing as to who's leaving and who's staying, which automatically makes it DEEP. In a few days when I'm no longer procrastinating for my Modern Art final, maybe I'll do a post about how Let It Burn fits pretty well into the PostModern scheme of things. You're welcome in advance.
That's a joke, I hate postmodern things, postmodernism can push itself off a cliff please and thank you.
4. Ruby Tuesday – Rolling Stones This is the part of the list where things get serious. Like, I hear this song and I actually get sad, and it feels like the louder I sing the chorus the better I'll feel. I'm saving this one for the last Harry Potter movie – the credits will start rolling and I'll go, "GOOOOOODBYE, RUUUBY TUESDAY!"
3. You And I Both – Jason Mraz I have nothing snarky to say about this song, because it's very pretty and a little sad and a lot of fun to sing. It's also what plays inside my head every time I leave Rochester. One time I heard it in the HyVee gas station right before heading back to NoFo (that's right) and it made my whole night, because gas stations usually play more annoying things like "Lucky" or "I'm Yours", not good ones like this. I pretended to consider buying a bag of beef jerky so that I could stick around long enough to hear the whole song play.
2. I'm Gonna Find Another You – John Mayer Recently, I had a conversation with my brother about which John Mayer song he could play for me at the wedding, (since he's the best brother in the world and is willing to something like that for me) and after the third angsty anti-love song I suggested, we concluded that John Mayer songs might not be the most suitable for the event. They ARE, however, very suitable for So Longs and Farewells, and so this one made it onto this list.
1. Danke Schoen – Wayne Newton Remember that one amazing movie where the beautiful Matt Broderick wins over the city of Chicago with little more than a wink and a couple of dance moves? That amazing movie is the first thing I'm going to watch when I'm done with finals, and this amazing song is the first thing I'm gonna sing when I'm driving far far away from the cesspool that is Carleton College in about a year and four days. Because although Carleton is a terrible place, it's a terrible place that I somehow care about, and when I say "Goodbye," I want to do it right.

Now that Sony has launched its next-generation Playstation (albeit without revealing any hardware), Microsoft is now gearing up to launch its successor to the Xbox 360.
Multiple sources are reporting, and self-confirming, that Microsoft is looking to an April launch for its next-generation Xbox console, likely named the Xbox 720.
VG247 notes that the domain "Xbox Event" has been registered by a events management company that has worked with Microsoft at launches before.
Microsoft has publicly declined to comment.
According to Computer and Video Games, a senior Sony spokesperson said he was informed that the Playstation 4 launch in New York had "caught Microsoft off guard."
"We definitely ruffled some feathers," the person said.

In our local and wider community, there are many organizations and businesses doing seva. Seva, in Sanskrit, means "selfless service" and is a core tenet of yoga. It is a work or service performed without any thought of reward or personal benefit. Many ancient texts explain seva as a way to attain liberation. And, a person who performs such selfless service is called a Sevandar.
Below are some Sevandars that we support in some way. We wanted to share this information with you in case you might want to support them as well. If you know about other Sevandars in our community, please share that information, so we may all be connected to the good energy and support our neighbors near and far.

Nature Photography Captures Youth
During a very hot and humid week in July, ten teens participated in Parker River National Wildlife Refuge's first ever Nature Photography Camp. The eager young adults joined instructor and Visitor Service Manager Matt Poole for a hands-on introduction to nature photography and image editing. Camp participants divided their time between a series of outdoor "photo safaris" and image editing practice sessions.
The campers' photography opportunities included time spent on the refuge, a session with live hawks and owls, a visit to a butterfly house, and excursions to several other outdoor locations. At weeks end each camper has completed a portfolio of their fifteen favorite images. One image from each portfolio will be printed, matted, and framed for a new exhibit at the Refuge's visitor center.
Additional photography-related programming is planned for the Refuge's visitor services program offerings, including a new nature photography contest and photography-themed celebration of National Wildlife Refuge Week.

1. Discuss the validity of this statement: In regard to characterization short stories are obviously a medium limited by length. Therefore the story of women in the short stories we have read, and perhaps in the short story genre itself, are much more universal then the story of women in a work such as The Slave Girl. [Brandon Brown]
2. What is the significance of Charlotte H. Bruner's claim, "Any such collection as this can be at best representative, not inclusive" (preface viii). [Kate Cook]
3. In "Mother was a Great Man", Acholonu writes, "A son caters for continuity of the family-name and external image, but a daughter caters for love, understanding and unity within the family circle....Looking back, Oyidiya thought what an irony of fate it was that she who had been a highly desired daughter, should afterwards hang in the balance because she had no male issue." (11) In many of the stories in this collection, there is a sense of irony involved: In "The Pay-packet" Iba is beaten by her husband because her father has extorted money from him; in "Workday", Elizabeth feels the pressures of being responsible for a household and having to work outside of the home, and takes her anger out on the maid Mary, a "stupid village girl"; the epigram by George Eliot that Zoü Wicomb introduces her story with mentions a "light and graceful irony"; in "She was the Weaker" (the title itself ironic), the son destroys the honor of his bride and her family because he is unable to perform the marriage ritual. Why the use of irony in so many of these stories? Does the quotation from Acholonu exemplify the source from which much of this irony stems (and what is it)?
On a related issue, how does a sense of fate work itself into some of these stories as well? [Erica Dillon]
4. Bruner's collection of short stories seeks to give voice to writings by African women-- under- represented perspectives and views of the world. In these stories what role do eyes and vision playin the themes of change, modernity, and women's oppression? Lucia Duncan
5. "In the story of Jesus- according to Mokuba, the beloved tribesman," the narrator recreates the story of Jesus with the foundation of his tribal upbringing. How is his interpretation of the story different than that of the New Testament? How does his imaginative approach to the story affect it? How is this approach similar to that of Wole Soyinka in his autobiography? [Laura Gelfman]
6. From "The Story of Jesus - According to Mokuba, the Beloved Tribesman": How does John Mokuba's interperetation of the story of Jesus illuminate the reasoning behind his desire to become a Christian in Jesus' tradition? Would his conversion be in the Christian sense of faith and salvation a religious issue at all? [Jeremy Finer]
7. Many of the writers featured in this book have travelled and and/or studied abroad. How has this affected their writing? What differences could we expect between their writings and those of African women without such experience? (Phoebe Koch)
8. Awuor Ayoda in "Workday" and Jean Marquand in "Regina's Baby" both discuss the position of poor black women in wealthier households. In what way does the treatment of Mary at the hands of her black employer differ from the treatment of Regina by the white narrator? How do racism and classism play out in the lives of the characters in both stories, and are the two stories even comparable? [Jennifer. G. Lee]
9. To what extent is Emecheta's idea of marriage as a form of slavery evident in many of the short stories? (For example Devi's "Lakshmi's Gift" and Ka's "New Life at Tandia") In what manner do the characters respond to this notion...how do they differ and how are the a like? [Neel Parekh]
10. Although the works collected herein display much variety, they all seem to me to basically concur. For instance, does any one of these writers ever see men and the masculine role in a positive light?? Must male-bashing always be the response to misogny? A juxtaposition with contemporary male writers would be intriguing. Referring back to the everpresent question of representation and representative literature, can these writers be regarded as truly representative? Or are they merely representative of a certain segment or viewpoint, a collection of exceptions to the norm? How influenced are they by Western feminism (and by which particular branches)? Would influence by an outside source or outside sources distort the representative quality of these writers? [Elissa Popoff]
11. Discuss Violet Dias Lannoy's narrative technique in "The Story of Jesus -- according to Mokuba, the beloved tribesman". What is the effect of reading Mokuba's story within the context of the "story at large"? Also, how does Mokuba's "Jesus story" compare with Wole's perception of the "Christian egúngún" in Soyinka's Aké? [Barnali Tahbildar]
