DCA Collaborates With Statewide Partners to Perform the 2011 Homeless Count in More Than 60 Georgia Communities (12/20/2010)During the last week in January, 2011, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs will partner with over 60 communities around the state to conduct a count of homeless families and individuals in Georgia. The count will provide data on families and individuals who meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments (HUDs) definition of homelessness. In the process of collecting that data, counties will also collect data on families and individuals who are precariously housed and in danger of becoming homeless. DCA is partnering with Kennesaw State University who will use the data collected to create a statistical estimate of the number of homeless individuals statewide.
The planned count will use short surveys asking people where they spent the night of January 23, 2011 Surveys will be administered during the last week of January 2011 at locations where homeless persons are likely to seek help, as well as hot spots where homeless people are known to gather. DCA is providing the survey instrument, training, technical assistance, data input, and data analysis for participating counties.

NEW YORK, Dec 13 (Reuters) - A 10-year Treasury note yield above 3 percent will harm the stock-market rally and housing market, said Jeffrey Gundlach, chief executive of DoubleLine Capital, on Tuesday.
"If the 10-year goes above 3 percent, you would also have to say unequivocally you have seen the end of the bond bull market," Gundlach added.

Our goal for you, as a leader, is that you would help the students in your group follow Jesus with their head, hearts,
and hands.
The first step in leading a student in this way is by connecting with them. Connecting with students leads to credibility. Credibility leads to conversation. Conversations with credibility lead to discipleship. The bottom line is that students don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
The hard part is that students are different. What I mean by that is this ‐ there are no two students who are exactly the same. Because of this we are required to connect with students in different ways.
With that in mind, we want to give you some ways to connect with students. Some of these ideas are designed for one‐on‐one interactions. Others are going to be more successful in groups. The key is to connect with students and show them how much you care.
- Call them. This generation spends more time on the phone than any previous generation, use it to your advantage.
- Text them. If you want to connect, but don't want to talk – texting is for you. We ask you to text during appropriate hours (generally, 9am-9pm.) and to keep conversations about ministry events as much as possible. Remember to text only the things you want parents and youth pastors to read!
- Post comments on their Facebook or Instagram accounts.
- Show Facebook love. If they post something you like – click on the like button.
- Create identity. Give your group a special identity. Use special name, make t‐shirts, etc. Just be careful that this identity doesn't cause others to feel excluded.
- Contact their parents. This is huge. Parents need to know who you are. We are working with them to lead their student toward following Jesus with their heads, hearts, and hands. Make this a priority!
- Create excitement. Help spread the word about events! Offer incentives for your group. Shave your head if... Eat a gold fish if... dress alike for large group events, etc.
- Challenge them with the take home resource. Students will be more apt to try the resources if someone is going to hold them accountable.
- Food. Bring food to your students or take them out for food. Students love to eat.
- Make your contact information available. Give them your phone number and email address.
- Lead by example. Do for them, what you want them to do for others.
- Connect outside of church. Meet at the movies or Starbucks. Let them know your relationship is not based on them showing up at church.
- Use technology. Examples include YouVersion Bible studies, Facebook, Instagram. I strongly discourage snapchat and vine.
- Talk about relevant things. What do your students want to talk about?
- Send them hand written birthday cards.
- Send praise letters for spiritual growth. If they are reading their Bible, inviting their friends to church, making wise choices, etc.. – let them know that you see it. What is rewarded is repeated.
- Serve together. i.e. mow someone's lawn, feed the homeless, paint a house, pick up trash.
- Attend after school functions. Examples include cheer competitions, band or choir concerts, and sport events.
- Eat lunch with them if they can leave campus.
- Meet after school. Grab some ice cream or just chat.
- Call students by name. Students love to hear their own name.
- Strike up continual conversations with all students in our group. Don't focus on just a few.
- Give occasional touches. High fives, side hugs, fist pounds
- Find cliques and connect with the leader. Influence the influencers.
- Encourage their talents. If you see something in them, let them know it.
- Love your students equally. Students want to be accepted. Show love to all your students.
- Send flowers or something special at times of tragedy.
- Carry gum or candy to give to students. Students love random things.
- Acknowledge positive physical change (haircut, outfit, working out).
- Apologize when you mess up. Transparency starts with you.
- Discretely give students money when needed. Meet a true need and a student won't forget.
- Call them after school for no reason but to say "hi and I appreciate you".
- Play together. Basketball, football, shopping, dance, etc... Have fun with your students.
- Pray together.
- Other??

Expansion strategy to boost Mauritius' tourist numbers
by November 1, 2014 12:34 pm0
"The international airport in Mauritius is designed to welcome up to 10 million passengers in the next 15 years so together with tourist growth on the island, the number of business travellers and the tourism business is going to go up as well," Holiday Inn Hotel general manager, Gregory Coquet told CNBC Africa.
"In addition to our new real estate investment plan in the area close to the airport, we think that those figures are going to go up on a regular basis."
(WATCH VIDEO: What are the prospects of Mauritius' future?)
This expected growth has seen the development of not only the country's international airport but also of real estate ventures surrounding the airport.
"There is a major plan [around] real estate investment in the next 50 years so there's going to be a lot of business creation in the area. Being so close to the international airport and to a new business hub, it was natural for us to think about a brand new business hotel," Coquet said.
"We consider ourselves to be pioneers on this business, airport hotel. There are so many resorts and five-star hotels along the beach in Mauritius and only a few business hotels offer proper facilities for doing contemporary business with time-pressed businessmen."
According to Coquet, the Holiday Inn name offers the group global access in terms of visibility and brand, together with its operating standards.
(READ MORE: Mauritius' good governance record attracts investors)
"Our hotel features 140 rooms and extensive meeting and conference facilities. We've been operating since early 2014 so it's been about 10 months of operation. We're growing on a regular basis every month," he stated.
"We've really positioned ourselves as being a contemporary business property [and] we have invested a lot in technology, peak services for business people."

Sprint Lay Expert System Review
Sprint Lay Expert System Review
The Sprint Lay Expert is, as the title suggests, a system for laying horses over the shorter distances of flat racing. According to the vendor, Chris Castell, since it's inception in season 2006 Sprint Lay Expert has produced a successful strike rate averaging 76.83% returning an average £3660 profit (to £100 level stakes) per year . During this period there were two winning sequences of seventeen while the longest losing run has been four (twice).
The are nine simple rules to Sprint Lay Expert and so there can be no misunderstanding of these, the vendor provides a step-by-step guide via a video.
The system was originally on offer at £59 but the vendorhas been running a special offer for only £39.
Sprint Lay Expert runs from April to November and during the first 3 weeks of April there were seven qualifiers only, which Chris states is normal for April and there should be an increase from May onwards.
We chose what we felt was the opportune time to bring the review of this system to a close.
The fifty-five day trial period had been a bit of a roller-coaster, both selection wise and profit wise.
On thirty-three of the fifty-five days there were no selections, leaving seventeen winning days and five losing days.
The profits picture has been similarly up and down – from being almost £300 in the red it rose steadily to the heady heights of £957 profit on day thirty-three, only to see a sequence of four losers return it to a loss situation (-£168) by day thirty-five.
Since that point there have been fourteen winning bets and only one loser, taking it to its final level.
Our conclusion: We ran the system for approximately one third of the way through its normal operating period and we were not far short of a third of its average projected annual profit – so it appeared to be on track in that respect.
However we can't help thinking that what has happened before could happen again and these profits could be quickly wiped out.
For this reason alone, we have to say it is not a system we would personally buy or could honestly recommend. However, we do feel that this system does have the ability to provide some profits for the braver element amongst us, if you're prepared to ride the waves!
We shall place this in the Neutral Zone.

Choosing the right paint brush is an important step for any painting project. Hamilton's Brushes offers some useful information to help you choose the right paint brush for any DIY project
Choosing the right paint brush
Does it matter what type of brush you use with any type of paint?
Generally, there are three types of paint brushes: those made of natural-hair bristles, those made with synthetic materials (usually nylon or polyester) and those made with a blend of natural hair and synthetic.
Traditionally natural bristle brushes are preferred for use with solvent-based (oil- or alkyd-based) paints, especially for enamel or finish work.
Natural bristles are hollow and can absorb the water contained in a latex paint, causing them to swell and become soft and limp (similar to your own hair when it is wet).
Most synthetic brushes work well with both latex and solvent-based paints, but always check the manufacturer's recommendations on the brush. Some of the solvents used in solvent-based paints can break-down the compensation of a synthetic bristle-once again check the label.
The same above rules to choosing the right paint brush apply to paint rollers: synthetic vs. natural (wool).
Is an expensive paint brush really that much better than a cheap one?
High quality or more expensive brushes have distinct advantages over the cheaper ones. First of all, a high quality brush will finish the job more quickly. This is because a top-quality brush has the ability to "hold" more paint in reservoir, which means you will spend less time "painting the can" than applying the paint to the surface.
A top-quality brush will also not shed bristles like a cheaper brush, because of how firmly the bristles are seated in the ferrule (the metal band that attaches the bristles to the handle), and also determined by the material used as plugs (space plugs inside the ferrule that bond the bristles in the ferrule, add taper to the bristles, and finally create "wells" in the center of the bristles to hold paint) in the ferrule.
Also, a top-quality brush will have a tapered end, which means there are shorter bristles on the outside and longer bristles in the center. Tapered bristles give the painter more control over where and how much paint goes onto the surface, which is important to consider when choosing the right paint brush.
How does a good quality paint brush benefit me and my painting project?
- Outstanding finish appearance
- Faster overall painting with less effort
- Easier "cutting in" for those tight areas
- Less bristle or filament shedding (Hamilton's Perfection Ensign = Guaranteed no bristle loss)
- No unsightly brush streaks/striation (also dependent on the type and quality of the paint and skill of user)
If you are still unsure about choosing the right paint brush for your DIY painting project, let us know in the comments section below!

More than 679 species of life call it home where they live on it's 457 hectares. Do you know Ottawa's most biodiverse and ecologically important area? The answer is:
South March Highlands
- 164 species of birds!
- 75 mammals, fish, amphibians & reptile species!
- 440 plants, many of which are rare and endangered in Ontario
- 10 distinct habitats for wildlife
- 30 eco types of vegetation & old growth trees
- densest biodiversity left in the City of Ottawa
Have you heard of 'forest bathing' or Shinrin Yoku? It's the Japanese art of sitting in a forest and soaking in the peace. It reconnects you to nature and is becoming a 'thing' in over stressed and nature disconnected North America.
A visit to Ottawa's Great Forest is perfect for Shinrin Yoku.
It can be good for more than your headspace too!
Quality of life is better in Ottawa, where a work commute longer than 20 minutes is considered 'long'. Our skies are blue and our air is clean. With a lack of industry here, we are lucky to not breath in the pollution that suffocates cities like Toronto.
Anyone with a cottage doesn't drive more than an hour to get there when you live in Ottawa, but you don't even need to go that far to find a forest, just head to South March Highlands. It's good for the soul.

Here's what it looked like in June.
In the large container by the door, the cardoon has finally started to do its thing. The Bordeaux petunias are actually quite aggressive and have crowded out much of the light yellow Superbells and the purple sweet potato vine. Overall I'm pretty happy with this, but I wish the sweet potato vine would put it into high gear a little.
And here it is back in June.
Here they are in June.
Here's the June view.
It's an improvement over what they looked like June.
Did you notice that there's been an addition? I have been wanting to give growing citrus (indoors in the winter) a try for awhile and happened upon a nice Bearss seedless lime and glazed pot at a local nursery's 50% off sale a couple weekends ago so I thought I'd give it a shot. Don't be too impressed with the lime on there: it came on the plant.
In June, it looked like this:
The June view:
And lastly, the tree stump planter in the new garden has filled out nicely and continues to provide a much-needed spark of color on the far side of the yard.
Here's what it looked like June.

As you may know already, Porsche introduced the all-new 911 at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show and statistics showed that it was the most popular car on the Internet during the German show. Due to the positive feedback, Porsche is confident that it can sell over 140,000 cars next year (911 and Boxster models).
Porsche sold 120,000 vehicles this year and 97,000 last year. The 2012 Porsche 911 will go on sale in December while the redesigned Boxster model will hit the showrooms in the first half of 2012.
Moreover, Porsche and the other German carmakers such as Bmw, Mercedes-Benz and Audi seem to be immune to the European debt crisis as all posted higher sales in September and are targeting record 2011 deliveries.
Porsche sales surged 38 percent to 10,560 vehicles on demand for the Cayenne SUV in September.
Bernhard Maier, Porsche AG Board of Management Member for Sales and Marketing said: "We are ahead of last year's good figures in all markets and with over 90,000 sports cars sold as of September are very close to our sales target of 100,000 units in 2011. That testifies to fascinating products and a very good performance throughout the entire value chain."
The ever-evolving Porsche 911 Carrera has something new in store. The design evolution has indeed changed in almost every aspect.
Porsche revised the 911 Carrera's dimension with much-wider front-end, larger alloys for the side profile and convex style windscreen to complete the coupé's sportier "personality". With these changes are of course, the larger air intakes and new headlights that enhance the Carrera's wider view at the front.
Porsche also optimised the aerodynamic capabilities of the new 911 by creating the extended spoilers at the rear. This element provides an impressive coefficient of drag figure and considerably lower lift. Meanwhile, the revamped taillights are much narrower now and are also equipped with LED.
Porsche's highly renowned Intelligent Performance is now on the latest 911 Carrera. The advanced aluminium steel body delivers one of the most lightweight passenger cars we have today. The design team combined new parts and functions that help the Carrera prove to have the most outstanding driving dynamics and efficient performance.
This newest 911 Carrera is in fact the first ever 5-seater car with built-in 7-speed manual transmission. The same standard feature is based on the PDK module wherein the first 6 gears are focused on the different mode of acceleration while the 7th gear is intended for fuel efficiency.
For the first time, Porsche has equipped the auto-start-stop function on this type of model. This kind of technology is designed to save as much as 0.6L/100km of fuel (if we are going to gauge it according to the NEDC standards). The same function key works with the manual transmission as well as the 7-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe automatic transmission.
Porsche made use of the joint thermal management system for improved fuel consumption. It is applied within the on-board electrical system recuperation, transmission and engine of the new Carrera to lessen the fuel consumption up to 0.35L/100km. Meanwhile, the new cooling technology sufficiently distributes the air for better aerodynamics.
The new 911 also has the "sailing" function for the first time. This feature goes with the optional PDK transmission and is perfect for daily use. The driver can enjoy up to 1L/100km of fuel savings since the engine is temporarily detached from the transmission (though it also depends on the driving environment). Whatever the case may be, this feature works mostly during high-speed driving when fuel economy is hard to come by.

Investment in NHS Transformation projects in Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire and Luton STP
Bedford Hospital NHS Trust will benefit from a share of £325 million in new capital investment for local NHS projects across the country. The Trust will receive approximately £5 million to help the NHS modernise and transform care for patients locally by creating a primary care hub at Bedford Hospital which is expected to improve access to same day appointments for around 50,000 patients and reduce the number of patients attending the hospital's A&E department.
This Government is backing the NHS' own plan for the future, the Five Year Forward View, and funding it with an additional £8 billion a year in real terms by the end of this Parliament. Delivering that vision relies on better integrated care locally, which is being taken forward through Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships.
Alistair Burt commented
'I am delighted to welcome new investment which will mean constituents will get an even better service in the Bedford area. We have made significant progress in improving patient care since 2010, and this funding will help us to promise the highest-quality, most compassionate patient care delivered by our most dedicated and skilled workforce.
We said in the Budget that we would invest in local areas who have developed the best plans – and today we are making good on that promise with an initial £325 million of capital funding. This will improve patient care and outcomes in communities up and down the country."
11.04.17 Alistair Burt welcomes plans to tackle litter across North East Bedfordshire
Litter affects us all, it blights our local environment and spoils our enjoyment of the countryside.
Published yesterday, the new Litter Strategy for England sets out plans to help to tackle this anti-social behaviour, making North East Bedfordshire an even more attractive area and helping our local economy to prosper and grow.
Measures in the first national Litter Strategy include:
Targeting the 25 worst litter hotspots across our road network.
Consulting on increasing the fixed penalty for littering to £150.
Recommending that offenders on community sentences help councils to clear up litter and fly-tipped waste.
Enabling councils to update the nation's 'binfrastructure' to create new designs and improve the distribution of public litter bins.
Working with industry and the voluntary sector on a new campaign for 2018.
Convening a new expert group to look at further ways of reducing litter such as plastic bottles and fast food packaging.
Alistair said:
"Litter is something that affects us all in North East Bedfordshire and across the rest of the country. I want to make sure that our region is a great place to live and work in so that the local economy can thrive.
The Litter Strategy will make it easier for people to get rid of litter properly, creating an anti-littering culture and introducing tougher enforcement measures to hit thoughtless litter louts in the pocket".
23.03.2017 London Attacks
An afternoon of pain, and pride
Yesterday's events around Parliament will never be forgotten by those present.
I, like so many others, was fortunate to be spared any danger by the actions of those who protect us, for which my grateful thanks. On the way to vote I met colleagues and staff being ushered from the incident, just a few yards away, and followed the instructions of the police to the places of safety where we spent the next few hours in lockdown.
We all knew that an attack would happen. This is a world-wide threat to a way of life challenged by fanatics, who cannot win by persuasion and seek only to kill, maim and coerce. After Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Istanbul and Nice there was no possibility of London not being targeted. God alone knows how many attempts have been thwarted by those who look after us.
Such attacks will not end soon. But a combination of measures, from undermining their wicked and false philosophy, to the use of legitimate force against them, will eventually overcome them. In the meantime the world will go on, vigilant, but unbowed by the threat.
However, each incident leaves a mark, and moments of reflection for all of us. Two things struck me about yesterday. Firstly, while all that we do in Westminster is of importance, we now have to measure what we do, what we say and how we act against the lives of those prepared to die to allow us to do our job. That puts a renewed obligation on all who participate in democracy, which is you and me, to be worthy of PC Keith Palmer and his colleagues.
Secondly, it will never be the name or actions of the attacker that is remembered, but the reactions of those who rise to an occasion they could never have imagined. Passers-by offered comfort to those on Westminster Bridge, and security staff rushed towards danger. And my friend Tobias Ellwood, whose life has already been scarred by the loss of his brother in the Bali terrorist bombing, in an instant put all his training and life as a soldier into his attempt to save the life of the stricken policeman, while the risk of further danger was still high.
The pain of loss for those who have suffered, and for some the lifelong sentence of their injuries, are beyond the experience and understanding of most of us. But we can all share pride in the selflessness of humanity in a crisis, the values which will ultimately prevail in any contest with evil.
Today, and every day, we think of how in our day to day lives we might live up to such examples of the best of us.
2.3.17 Alistair Burt Demands Urgent Meeting For All Beds MPs With Inspector, Chief Constable and Police Commissioner Over Police Report
Findings "'harsh' on Bedfordshire, but public require improvement and resources."
NE Bedfordshire MP Alistair Burt has demanded an urgent 'clear the air' meeting with those responsible for Bedfordshire's policing and the county's MPs. This follows today's publication of the HMI report rating the local force 'inadequate'- the only such rating in the country. The report also highlights the lack of funding for Bedfordshire's police over many years, on which all Bedfordshire's MPs, Conservative and Labour, have united.
Mr Burt said:
'Today's report will be disappointing for a hard working police force, and for the community that depends upon them. I remain grateful and supportive of officers who do a difficult job in our county. 'Inadequate' seems a harsh judgement, when headline statistics show little difference with a number of national averages and good performance in terms of recorded crime and victim satisfaction.
But there are also very worrying comments in the report including the Inspector's view that the force has 'little understanding of the communities it serves', and is weak on its response to organised crime.
It is noticeable that many of the weaknesses are linked by HMI to the poor resourcing of a force with unique characteristics of being largely rural, but dealing with significant national issues, not least terror and a major UK airport. MPs will make renewed and urgent efforts to persuade Government that the funding crisis can no longer be pushed aside, as successive Governments have done.
But there is also a sharp difference of view between the Chief Constable and the Inspector about the quality of the force, and I believe it is in the public interest that we seek to resolve this. I am therefore calling for the HMI, the Chief Constable and the PCC to meet together as soon as possible with all Bedfordshire MPs. I need to have them in the same room to hear their positions, and above all what can be done to deliver the sort of performance required by our constituents.
I am sure we will all share a common determination to ensure that Bedfordshire and Luton has justifiable confidence in our local police, as our communities deserve.'
UK Youth Rocketry Challenge
MP for North East Bedfordshire, Alistair Burt, is encouraging local schools to compete in the UK's largest youth model rocket competition – The UK Youth Rocketry Challenge.
This week in Parliament Alistair joined the winning UK secondary schools from 2015 and 2016 to find out how schools in North East Bedfordshire can become this year's champions.
The UK Youth Rocketry Challenge involves the design, build and launch of a model rocket with the aim of ensuring the passenger - one raw egg - remains intact throughout the launch and landing. The rocket must reach 775 feet with specific target flight duration of 41-43 seconds. Rules governing the competition are altered every year to ensure designs can't be repeated.
The national final champions win an all-expenses paid trip to Paris, to represent the UK in a fly off against teams from the USA, Japan and France at the Paris International Airshow in June 2017. The deadline to register is 28th February.
Alistair said:
The UK Youth Rocketry Challenge provides students with a unique opportunity to apply what they have learnt in science, technology, engineering and maths and gain highly valued skills.
The competition is a great chance for students to apply their skills creatively whilst also having a lot of fun. I hope that our region will be represented in the competition and encourage the local schools in NE Bedfordshire to take part.
Jan 2017 Alistair Burt welcomes new mental health support for local schools in North East Bedfordshire
Alistair Burt has welcomed new measures to transform the way we approach and deal with mental health in North East Bedfordshire, and across the country, so that more children and young people receive support and care.
There will be new support for every secondary school in North East Bedfordshire. Each school will be offered mental health first aid training to increase awareness around mental health, along with help to tackle the unacceptable stigma around the issue. To support this initiative, new proposals will outline how mental health services for schools, universities and families can be improved, so that everyone in the community is supported, at every stage of life.
The Government will also be reviewing children and adolescent mental health services. This will help to identify what is already working and what can be improved, so that more children and young people get the mental healthcare they need and deserve.
These proposals are part of a wide range of measures to improve mental health provision and make sure no one is left behind. There will be an expert review into how we can improve mental wellbeing in the workplace so that employees receive more care. There will be more support in the community, ensuring that everyone in need can access the best support for their needs. More online services will be provided and the system will be made fairer for people suffering from mental health problems.
Alistair said:
"As Minister for mental health, I worked with the Department for Education on improving young people's mental health and I welcome these further steps.
These new proposals will ensure that children and young people in North East Bedfordshire receive the compassion, care and treatment they deserve. Mental healthcare will be improved in schools, workplaces and universities and those suffering from mental illness will be able to access the right care for their needs, whilst we also tackle the injustices people with mental health problems face.
But children and young people's mental health services will only benefit if the resources given by central government are spent locally, and I will be watching this process very carefully to ensure that this happens".
Nov 2016 MP for NE Bedfordshire welcomes the news that more children in Bedfordshire are being taught in good or outstanding schools
Alistair Burt has welcomed the news that more children are being taught in good or outstanding schools. New figures from Ofsted show that another 4 schools in Central Bedfordshire have been judged good or outstanding in their most recent inspection compared to 2015.
Across the East of England, 210 more schools have been rated as good or outstanding.
Across the country the proportion of all schools judged to be good or outstanding at their most recent inspection was 89 per. As a result almost 1.8 million more children are now in good schools compared to 2010.
Alistair said, "It is great news that the latest figures show that 118 schools in Central Bedfordshire are now rated good or outstanding. But we know there is more to do and the Government has set out plans to make more good school places available to more parents. We are making sure every child can access high quality education, so that they have the opportunity to go as far as their talents will take them."

Hyundai has introduced special versions of the i10 and i30, while Chrysler is also aiming to boost Grand Voyager sales.
Hyundai i10 and i30 ES
ES stands for Extra Special, and these two limited edition Hyundais have been loaded with extra kit.
The Hyundai i10 ES is based on the entry-level Classic model with 1.1-litre petrol engine. In addition to the already standard air conditioning, four airbags and front electric windows, the ES edition adds remote locking, driver's seat height adjustment, extra interior colour and body-coloured finish to the door handles, mirrors and bumper inserts.
One thousand such i10s will be available, priced at £7,195. However, if you are willing and able to take advantage of the , this brings it down to just £5,195. Not bad for a car with a five-year warranty.
The ES is based on the 1.4-petrol Comfort. Additions here include electronic climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, and silver trimming on the grille and centre console. This is on top of standard kit such as stability control, six airbags, active head restraints, all-round electric windows and iPod/USB connection.
Five hundred are being made, priced at £11,795. This time the scrappage offer is even better: not only will Hyundai match the government's £1,000 contribution, it will boost it by a further £1,500. That means you could drive away in an i30 ES for just £8,295. Bargain.
Both models are expected to sell out quickly; Hyundai has already reported an incredible 400% increase in dealer enquiries following the scrappage scheme announcement last month.
Chrysler Grand Voyager celebrates 25 years
It's 25 years of the Chrysler Grand Voyager this year, and despite dire financial difficulties the firm is determined to celebrate. The result is this special '25th Anniversary' edition of the latest version.
Powered by a 2.8-litre turbodiesel and absolutely rammed with features, just 100 will be made. Leather, dual-screen rear DVD entertainment system, satellite navigation, xenon headlights, LED running lights, chrome grille, special bumpers, paint, badging and even an 'engraved commemorative keyring' are all included.
The trouble is it costs a whopping £32,600 – and Chrysler is also yet to confirm its involvement in the .
The Grand Voyager is reputedly the world's bestselling , despite struggling with a poor safety record. The latest one is said to be better in this regard but is yet to be tested by Euro NCAP. Although it has some clever features – like the 'Stow 'n Go' seating that folds into the floor – interior fit and finish is disappointing.
And be warned: Chrysler has actually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States. It is however currently finalising the details of a restructuring merger with Fiat, so is far from gone for good.
We just can't help feeling it needs to do better than this…

So, you're probably wondering what the Perseids Meteor show is right? Well, according to Wikipedia, its a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet "Swift-Tuttle". The Perseids are so named because the point from which the meteor shower appears to becoming from (or radiant) lies in the Perseus constellation.
This year the Perseids meteor showers has been occuring since the 23rd of July and it will continue until the 22nd of August (Wednesday). For those of you who did not know, the Perseids meteor shower has been witnessed for more than 2000 years. The name derives in part from the word "Perseides" (a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus).
I have not witnessed the Perseids Meteor shower, but I wish to one day. Pity that its primarily visible in the Northern hemisphere of the planet. Maybe I should put witnessing this meteor shower on my bucket list.
In today's Daily Cool Photo (which was taken by Amir Cohen), a long exposure shows stars behind a tree during this year's Perseids meteor shower. The photo was taken near the Southern town of Mitzpe Ramon in Israel.
Yesterday a photo featuring a Protester Licking His Spear at Lonmin Mine was the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf's Rant, feel free to check it out.

Unanswered: Get the Combo box selected value to SQL sentence
I have a table like this:
Table name CARS
Nro Type Model ---------------------------------------------------- 1 Luxus Mercedes S 500 2 Luxus Mercedes S 400 3 Sport Mercedes SLR 4 Sport Mercedes SLK 5 Family Mercedes E 240 6 Family Mercedes E 280
Form name RESERVATIONS
Textbox: Color Textbox: year Textbox: Price Combo box: Type Combo box: Model <-- hidden
SELECT CARS.Nro, CARS.Type FROM CARS;
And then I have an afterupdate event at the type Combo box which will make the model combo box
visible, like this:
Private Sub Type_AfterUpdate()
Model.Visible = True
End Sub
Then this is where the problem is.. I now need to have an SQL sentence what would get the
car models from the table CARS to the Model combo box depending on what Type was selected.
I've tryed the model combo box like this:
SELECT CARS.Nro, CARS.Model FROM CARS WHERE CARS.Type LIKE Forms!RESERVATIONS!Type;
But that doesnt work.. It wont show up any models in the Model combo box..
How can that be done? That LIKE Forms!RESERVATIONS!Type doesn't get the currently selected
value from the combo box, I guess..
help please!

Thanks for the quick reply, that didnt quite do the job, but I noticed what was wrong when I looked back to my post..
The Type combo box got the values with this SQL sentence:
SELECT CARS.Nro, CARS.Type FROM CARS;
But that first column was hidden, so I didnt thought about it at first.. When I did the SQL sentence below to the after update event:
Model.RowSource = "SELECT CARS.Nro, CARS.Model FROM CARS WHERE CARS.Type LIKE '" & Type & "'"
That Type got the fist colum from the combo box also so it came up like "1 Luxus" and "5 Family" and such.. so that was wrong..
I did a new sql sentence to the Type combo box:
SELECT DISTINCT CARS.Type FROM CARS;
And now it works like it should. Thanks for that combo box rowsource thing, now it updates the list ok every time I select the type..

Forty nine percent of people in US don't pay Fed Income Tax because they don't make "enough", Warren Buffet says he doesn't pay as much as his secretary. Whats a fair share and who should pay it.
sort by best latest
While I feel that most governments piss our tax dollars up against the wall, I believe taxes should be paid on a sliding scale according to ability and income. There will never be an end to low-paying, unskilled jobs because there never will be a shortage of workers desperate for employment. However, these people work just as hard in their jobs as the more well-paid workers; and, they still deserve to be able to support their families.
Tax according to ability to pay.

When you bunch up all the taxes we pay, including Income Tax, sales tax, property taxes, social security, etc. we all end up paying very similar amounts (up around 30-40%). The overall tax structure is incredibly complicated, which is part of the problem, and the answer is not an easy one. We are not a country for the most part that wants to let people die of hunger in the streets. If we tax people to the point that they can not meet their needs than we as a whole have to meet that need. Also, it seems to me that people who make less money tend to spend larger percentages of what they do have, which helps to drive the economy. I think these two reasons are partly why most developed nations have a progressive tax system. What is fair is what is best for all of us.
Personally, I think that if you look at things like the rise in CEO pay and the growing disparity of income between the wealthy and the poor, it would suggest that the wealthy for whatever reasons are doing too well. Many people believe this is because the system is unfair, but in the advantage for the already wealthy. I tend to agree. Actually, I more than tend to agree. I'd be perfectly fine if the top tax brackets were doubled (along with minimum wage).

Star Wars reference in Diablo III
Ever since I have been grinding Season 6 on a Frenzy Barbarian, I have managed to sight more than a few references to popular pop culture.
Perhaps it is because of this, I have been able to quickly catch specific references.
Game of Thrones in Diablo III!
With Game of Thrones Season 6 out at pretty much the same time Diablo III Seasion VI is released, I have been following both of them.
That pretty much means that I have been reading up on lore for both the game and the series. So, it came as a pleasant surprise when I saw a reference to Gregory Clegane from Game of Thrones in Diablo.
Diablo III pays more homage to Dune
I have been playing Diablo III on and off for the last four years, and have started taking it up again. This is primarily because of the new concept of Seasons and Adventure Mode.

BWW Review: Toronto is Head Over Heels for HIBLA GERZMAVA
Russia seems to be everywhere these days. Conductor and violinist, Vladimir Spivakov and the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra performed to an enthusiastic crowd at the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, Ontario. The evening was presented by Show One Productions, the same company that recently brought us the Trio Magnifico (Anna Netrebko, Yusif Eyvazov and Dmitri Hvorostovsky) and featured the Canadian debuts of cello soloist Danielle Akta and Russian opera diva Hibla Gerzmava.
Opening with Mozart's "Divertimento No.1 in D Major, K.136", the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra proved to be a unified, tight-knit ensemble. Spivakov conducted the musicians gracefully, enforcing beautiful dynamics in the piece - his hand tucked tight against his body, pulling the orchestra down to a sublime piano. Dedicated to "the memory of victims of fascism and war", Shostakovich's "Chamber Symphony in C minor Op.110a" was a haunting performance. Played with sensitivity, the piece swelled - filling the hall with the sound of strings, in perfect harmony.
Making her Canadian debut, at the age of fourteen, Danielle Akta is a thrill to watch. The music seems to take her over, like a trance - her eyes closed, she breathes it in and exhales it through her cello. Akta is a magnificent musician, a true prodigy. In Bruch's "Kol Nidrei op.47 for Cello and Orchestra", Akta played passionately - followed by Popper's "Concert Polonaise, Op.14", which allowed her to have more fun, showing off her technical agility.
After a brief intermission, Russian soprano Hibla Gerzmava graced the stage, also making her Canadian debut. Norma's "Casta Diva" is impressive in itself, but there's a certain excitement when a soprano opts to perform the second part of the aria in recital - which is exactly what Gerzmava did. She is known for being a great interpreter of bel canto, receiving rave reviews after her performance in Anna Bolena at La Scala this past April. This performance was proof of that. Her voice is well supported - legato lines comes naturally to her - and her top is quite effortless. It takes some time to adjust to her jaw-enforced vibrato, but the sound is pleasant, round and dark - Russian to the core. Gerzmava also sang from Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur and Verdi's I Masnadieri - the latter being the highlight of the evening's program, in my opinion. She has some of the clearest onsets I've ever heard from a soprano, especially with such a robust, dramatic sound.
I'm not alone in my praise for the singer - the audience unanimously agreed, demanding not one, but two encores. Gerzmava graciously agreed, performing Puccini's "O mio babbino caro" and then being joined onstage by Vladimir Spivakov for Strauss' "Morgen!" to end the evening.
Show One Productions does not disappoint with the talent they're bringing to Canadian stages, I'm interested to see what they have in store for this coming year.

Psychological Environmental Factors Causing Stress among Nurses at Kisumu county hospital.
Background: Nationally, there has been an outcry at nurses mistreating patients and giving ineffective services citing stress as a key factor. Therefore, there has been need to examine work-related stress among nurses.
The Objective of the study was to investigate causes of stress in the work environment of nurses and how this affects service delivery.
The design was a survey where data was collected using respondent administered questionnaire.
The setting was at Kisumu county Hospital
Methodology was administering the questionnaire to nurses in the Key departments including surgery, medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, Pharmacy, obstetrics, gynecology and physiotherapy. Data was coded and analyzed using SPSS version 18. Results were presented as percentages, frequencies, graphs and pie-charts.
The results revealed that un-conducive work environment causes stress and in turn poor service delivery. Main factors contributing to the stress were; lack of equipment and infrastructure 68.9%; weight of duties and understaffing both at 64.4%; long standing hours 57.8%; Injuries from sharp objects 51.1%.
Conclusion: un-conducive work environment due to poor infrastructure and lack of equipment is a major cause of stress among nurses impacting negatively on service delivery.
Recommendations The study findings should enhance nursing practice and inform improvement of infrastructure in the hospital. There is need for further longitudinal studies in this field and peer counseling, soft skill education and stress management.

This project was inspired by a visit to my dentist. I have always found it hard to remember to floss on a regular basis. I did some in-depth research talking to dentists in my local area and asking people their thoughts on flossing and came away with some great insight.
What I learned was that most people (50 percent) do floss on a regular basis (which confirms the statistics from the American Dental Association). About 10 percent of those surveyed hated the idea of flossing (in particular, having floss between their teeth) and didn't think any new device would ever get them to floss.
I decided that for this project, it was best to focus my attention on the remaining surveyed respondents (the 40 percent) who actually didn't mind flossing.
I wanted to learn why this group, in particular, didn't floss regularly and what could be done to get them to do so. I then let my intuition and insight lead me to a final solution that was fun, playful and functional.
"Out of sight, out of mind"
I quickly learned that the process of flossing wasn't that different from other tasks that involved "habit development". From personal experience and the experiences of those I talked to who were involved in a daily vitamin or pill-regimen, it became obvious to me that despite placing the pill bottles in close visual proximity, we were failing to notice them... and failing to take them regularly.
I knew instinctively that the more I routinely took the vitamins or meds, the habit would eventually "stick". This was confirmed by the research I had done speaking to others who felt they needed some prodding or constant reminding. I felt this was worth looking into.
A playful yet sophisticated design that looks great in any bathroom.
This device wears many hats as an automatic floss dispenser,
toothbrush holder and most importantly, as a flossing reminder.
Floss dispenses through the center groove upwards.
An extra feature exists for programming the unit; which is entirely optional. The option was given to increase the chances of success in helping users maintain a consistent flossing schedule. If the user feels that they need the extra assistance, they can choose their preferred times and set them to go off at their desired times.
The idea for allowing the option to pair a mobile device to the flossing unit came to me through mere intuition. If we spend most of our waking hours on our portable electronic devices and they seem to be on us at all times (or within our reach), why not increase the chances of being able to reach the user in more ways?
Giving the user a bit of flexibility is key in the habit development process.
Some good habits start out slow.
The toothbrush tray comes off for easy clean up.
Up to 4 users can program the unit to remember their daily flossing schedule.
Thank You!


text: Just a quick post with a lot of pictures of my acrylic album that I finished last month. Working on the clear pages presented some unique opportunities for layering. I printed some of my pictures on transparency & Extravorganza (silk organza to run through your printer by Jaquard). I also stamped on the acrylic pages with Stazon inks & painted with acrylic paint. I used Hambly transparencies to make extra pages, lace paper, felt, jewels & rub-ons. It is kind of hard to show how beautiful the layering is in photos. I love this project & will definitely try another. Hope you enjoy looking.

Buoyed by a strengthening Aussie dollar, the US company has slashed almost $9000 from the price of the Grand Voyager Limited.
The Grand Voyager Limited is normally $78,769 on the road, but is available until September 30 for $69,990 drive-away – a saving of $8779.
The deal does not extend to the top-line all-wheel-drive Grand Voyager Limited variant. However, Scuderia Veloce Motors at Sydney's Chatswood will give the same discount on this variant – pay $74,821 drive-away.
Built in Graz, Austria, the Voyager carries seven passengers in two rows of two and a rear bench seat for three.
Equipment includes dual front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, air-conditioning with three-zone temperature control, leather trim, power driver's seat with memory, cruise control, CD player, alloy wheels, power windows and mirrors and metallic paint.
Convenience features include powered side doors and tailgate, each with safety sensors.
The seating configuration on the long-wheelbase Voyager allows access to the rear bench via the side doors and between the middle row captain's chairs.
Chrysler sales of 1406 to the end of August are marginally down on the same period in 2002. The maker now has only two models, the Voyager range and the retro PT Cruiser.
Deliveries of the Chrysler Crossfire coupe begin in December.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
While much of downtown Dallas has begun to rebound in recent years, the area south of the George Allen Courts building remains sleepy. Is a locked door to blame?
A group of lawyers, judges and businessmen have suggested it is. They say the closed south entrance to the civil courts building has harmed the area around it. The group has asked the Dallas County Commissioners Court to reopen it. The court may soon comply.
The Jackson Street entrance was locked up three years ago to save money -- having only one entrance meant fewer security guards were needed to man the metal detectors, county officials said.
The change was an inconvenience to courthouse regulars. But more than a dozen people came to a Commissioners Court budget hearing to make the case that the problem was broader than that. The closed doors have harmed the southwest corner of downtown, they said.
Businesses representatives at the hearing said the effect has been dramatic: Parking structures in the area have seen traffic dip, one person said. A Subway sandwich shop across the street has had its sales cut in half. And the Founder's Grill a few hundred yards away has closed. Revenue at the Hotel Lawrence, which is above the Founder's Grill, is down about 10 percent.
The reason, some hearing attendees said, is the lack of people passing through the nearby courthouse doors. About 1,000 people used that door each day before it was closed off. Now, many visitors don't even see the restaurants just south of the building. And courthouse regulars don't have time to walk around the corner during lunch.
Not everyone agreed. One attendee at the budget hearing said a walk of an extra few hundred feet was a minor inconvenience that wasn't worth throwing money at. But county officials listened to the complaints. The reopening has been tentatively included in next year's budget. After a recent Commissioners Court meeting, budget director Ryan Brown said he hopes the Dallas Bar Association will pay some of the $130,000 per year needed to open the entrance.
Will it help that area of downtown? It's hard to say. But at the budget hearing, County Judge Clay Jenkins said the court should look closely at any policies that might harm an area of so much government attention.
"We are spending a tremendous amount of time trying to find ways to work with the private sector to regenerate downtown," he said.
