text: You see movement on the ground beneath you, and when you look closer, there is a parade. Small ants carry bits of green leaves, several times the size of the ants themselves, above their heads. They are farmers, used to hard work. They carry their prizes down the trunks of trees, along vines and branches, and across the earth to their underground chambers. Here, they create gardens by injecting their leaf clippings with a fungal secretion, which digests the plant matter and turns it into a nutritious mushroom, which they use to feed ant larvae. The adult ants thrive on leaf sap. Older adults, who no longer tend to the gardens, collect waste to remove from the garden, putting it in a pile and moving it around to aid decomposition, composting like any true gardener.

As a firm believer in extraterrestrial life and that we will have visitors from another world, I didn't like the "negative character" of the "Beings" in "The Taking" by Dean Koontz. The picture of the apocalypse was discomfiting. And yet it was thought provoking - the psychological angle pertaining to our fears and trysts was quite poignant. The references to quotes by T.S. Eliot, and also the Biblical references makes me think that The Wasteland provided inspiration to the author (I may be wrong in this inference, as I have not actually read T.S. Eliot at length.)
The scientific logic of the "how's" and "why's" of the alien control was also well-devised. The book was rambling in descriptive sections but the author was trying to create a picture in the mind's eye and play on the emotions to evoke fear. The central theme of the novel was based on Darwin's theory of Natural Selection to cleanup the World of the evil in mind, heart and spirit, and then re-generate human life with newfound wisdom and experiences. It was like "clean the slate to write anew" with a sprinkling of Christain philosphy.
It's commendable how the author has moved away from the cliché of the "green-skin-slanted-eye-oval-head" visitor from outer space, and has created a more awe-inspiring concept of the forces from another world, including biological and psychological angles.
I wouldn't say that I liked the book, or would mark it as my favorite, but I can assure that some images will remain in your mind. The next time the skies overshadow and pour down, you may very well fear doomsday, as imagined by Dean Koontz. What I liked about this book centered on dark characters and dark images, and the perpetual "purple glow" in the skies, is that it envelopes hope and survival instincts, along with human philanthropy.
Read it on a rainy day for maximum impact, if you like science fiction with a bit of the X-Files factor. The book would make a perfect script for a Hollywood thriller with lots of special effects. For interested friends, I don't mind lending my copy of the book, because it's not actually a book for keeps, though it can give you the creeps.
Read an excerpt.

The Awards ceremony is on the theme: 'Valuing Teachers, Improving Their Status'.
The awards scheme aims to reward excellence, professionalism and dedication to the teaching profession as well as the complementary role played by the non-teaching staff of the Ghana Education Service (GES) for quality education delivery.
The Awards ceremony is on the theme: 'Valuing Teachers, Improving Their Status'.
A total of seventy-two (72) serving teachers, twenty (20) retired teachers, ten (10) National Service Personnel and three (3) foreign volunteers benefited from this year's package.
President Mahama urged teachers to reflect on their roles and responsibilities as government continued to make the right investment to improve their image.
Teachers' Day takes place every year on October 5 and celebrated with the aim of highlighting the essential role of teachers in providing quality education at all levels, and to promote international standards for the teaching profession.

Saying that over two million teens suffer from clinical depression, a government panel is urging doctors to screen kids annually. My problem with this is not a dispute with the statistic because I think you can probably find the same signs in any segment of the population- but I worry about what they plan to do with these millions once they are identified.
As it is right now antidepressants are the most highly prescribed drugs in America- in fact, most doctors are more concerned about under-prescribing when it comes to adults. Even now antidepressants are used without proper therapy and follow-up; patients begin to rely on the drugs to gloss over their problems instead of using them as a tool for recovery. In my humble opinion the dangers are much greater for those teens with undeveloped brains and coping skills. Throw 2 million more into the system and what happens? The obvious.
Most pediatricians aren't trained to do psychotherapy, but they can prescribe depression medication and monitor patients they've referred to others for therapy, he said. ~ emphasis mine
I don't like the direction this is going.

text: About a year ago I was sitting in my friend's living room in Okinawa, Japan watching American Idol with her, her daughters and my DH. I had this grand idea that we should all go on a cruise together in 2011 since we'd be back in the states, and they'd be coming back for their annual summer visit. Secretly I knew that the Dream was debuting and I was all about the new ship! I also knew that my friend didn't like Disney and I was bound and determined to change her mind......so I did!! So here are the 'original' cast of characters and plans! Who: Me: a 31 year old kid who has serious Peter Pan syndrome and teaches for a living. Except now I'm seriously considering a change of scenery..... I've been to WDW 6 times and Tokyo Disney once. Fave Disney live action: Newsies Fave Disney animated: Tangled/Sleeping Beauty Fave Disney character: Person-Rapunzel/Aurora Animal-Tigger/Pascal Fave Disney cartoon show: Gummi Bears! followed closely by Phineas and Ferb DH: he puts up with my Disney obsession lol! Although he does enjoy it almost as much as I do. Fave Character: Grumpy-that says it all Melissa: The convert (I hope) She's been to WDW once-no planning and ended up hating the crowds. I've tried to make this completely painless....hopefully it works. Luckily she loves Phineas and Ferb too She's the one on the left E-beth: the 17 year old who kindly helped me convince her mom it was an amazing idea to go on a Disney cruise and WDW lol and Mattie: the 8 year old. She is VERY excited about this trip!!! Almost as much as I am When: July 19-24. I know, not the best time to avoid crowds, but when you're a teacher, there's not much of an option! Where :well we started out at POP, then upgraded to OKW when the military discounts came out, went to SSR when we added a few more people, then went back to OKW when our numbers went down again......but we're back to OKW!!

2008-06-01 - Fuel Cell A320 DLRDLR shows fuel cell in A320
Brenstoffzellenforschung beim DLR<br /> Airbus presents for the first time its fuel cell activities onboard an A320 research aircraft at this year's International Berlin Airshow (ILA).
Fuel cells are one of the most promising "step change" technologies and Airbus sees high potential in fuel cell applications towards a further significant reduction of emissions, fuel consumption and external noise. The research is part of Airbus' efforts towards eco-efficiency. Before taking course to Berlin, the A320 Fuel Cell Demonstrator aircraft successfully performed another fuel cell test. During the flight over a dedicated test area in France, a further improved fuel cell system provided power for the aircraft's electric motor pump, which is connected to the blue hydraulic circle and successfully moved the aircraft's ailerons, rudder and other flight control systems.
The test flight was part of Airbus' ongoing research activities to evaluate the potential use and environmental benefits of fuel cell technology. The improved fuel cell system is more robust and delivers a higher peak performance (more than 20 Kilo Watts of electrical power) to cover higher loads. It also is able to deliver instantly full electrical power in low operating temperatures.

text: Right then I've got a bit of a legal/ tax question that I've been trying to find the answer to, so I'm wondering if you lot can shed some light. I' m working as a freelancer so registered as a sole trader but get quite a lot of my work from regular clients. At the moment I have an ongoing appointment working in house with a client 2 days a week. It's not an official contract just they offer me regular work I give them first refusal on my availability. I read somewhere a while back that if (as a sole trader) you work over a certain amount for one client during the tax year, good old Mr tax man could argue that this classes as part time employment. Therefore you will have to go through the PAYE system and the company you do work for are liable for some of your tax and national insurance payments. This is obviously something I don't want to land on my client. Does anyone know what the official line on this is? I believe it has come about as a consequence of some amendments in the law meant to protect casual/ temp workers. I know a way round it is to set up as a Ltd company rather than be reg'ed as a sole trader, but having just got my head round my own taxes etc I don't particularly want to set up as Ltd at the moment. Any advice or links on this matter would be grand Cheers

I think they should be pittied for living a life of paranoia. In fact, that should be the conservative reply to everything liberal. Liberals are paranoid of almost everything. That's why they want to control everything.
I think paranoia is a misdiagnosis. I have found most liberals are elitist and though they may not be on top of the elitist pyramid, they are way above the masses at the bottom. They see control as necessary for the good of the masses and by virtue of their superiority they, or people they approve, should be the ones exercising control. The masses are on about the level of a herd of cattle; stupid and aimless.
Here is the key point; life is an accident and by strictly by accident they were made superior to most people and have an obligation to control the less fortunate people. It is nice, tidy and unassailable as long as there is no God.

Sight Words with Road, Cars and Crazy Houses
Today we started on a project that will transform the hallway at the front door into a fun learning space for sight words.
The aim is to make a network of roads on the floor to use with cars and trucks that will also reinforce the sight words we are currently focusing on.
We started work with the roads using what we had in the resource cupboard - coloured contact paper. This was cut into strips.
It was a bit tricky trying to get the backing off the contact - both for the boys and myself! It took perseverance (along with fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination) to get each piece separated but we did succeed!
I confess that I was just about to stick the roads on the floor and when it hit me! What was I doing??? This was a project the boys could design the road system all by themselves.
The more opportunities children have to make decisions for themselves (e.g., where should the roads go), the better they became at decision making. Creativity is also fostered.
Another bonus of letting the boys put the roads down was that I didn't have to crawl all over the floor! My knees rejoiced! I've lost count of the number of pants I've worn holes in at the knees!
Once the roads were down, it was time to mark lines on them with a permanent marker.
Next, we added some crazy houses. These were made out of cardboard and sticky taped to wooden blocks.
The blocks enabled the buildings to stand up.
If you'd like a copy of these crazy houses, you're welcome to download them as PDFs and then print them out Crazy Sight Word Houses:
These houses are blank (i.e., without words written on them) so you can write the sight words you are targeting on them. If you laminate them, you could change the words as needed.
Next it was time to play. Each boy took turns to read a sight word from the extra sight word cards I had. Each card showed one sight word which was also displayed on a crazy house.
They then had to drive their car to the correct house and park there. We continued doing this until each house had a car parked next to it.
The aim of this game was to encourage the boys to read sight words in a fun and interactive way.

Writing the resume is just one step in what can be a discouraging job search process, but it is an important element in the chain of events that will lead you to your new position. While you are probably a talented, bright, and charming person, your resume may not reflect these qualities.
A poorly written resume can get you nowhere; a well-written resume can land you an interview and potentially a job. A good resume can even lead the interviewer to ask you questions that will allow you to talk about your strengths and highlight the skills you can bring to a prospective employer.
Even a person with very little experience can find a good job if he or she is assisted by a thoughtful and polished resume. Distilling your work experience, education, and interests into such a small space requires preparation and thought. This section takes you step by- step through the process of crafting an effective resume that will stand out in today's competitive marketplace.
In this section you'll find many examples of resumes that are specific to your area of interest. Study them for inspiration and find what appeals to you. There are a variety of ways to organize and present your information; inside, you'll find several that will be suitable to your needs. Good luck landing the job of your dreams!

Not only is my dad still in the hospital (he has been there since Saturday with a staph infection in his blood), my grandpa was in the hospital too. He went in with the flu and then they found a bowel obstruction. He had surgery on Sunday or Monday and had just gotten out of ICU yesterday morning.
Then I was taking my sister back to her place and my dad called. My grandpa died last night.
He is the first grandparent I have lost, and this will be the second funeral I have been to in my life. I missed my great-grandma's funeral in 03 because I was in France at the time and couldn't get back home.
So anyway, the funeral is on Monday we're thinking. My dad is really upset because he can't help do anything since he's stuck in the hospital himself. Right now I'm just in shock and pretty sad. This really has been the worst Christmas ever.

I am very sad to hear about your loss, and it makes it even harder when it is around the Holidays.
I try to look at Death as a new beginning for the deceased person, although we miss them on Earth, they get to be in Heaven, which is like the greatest vacation ever. I kind of think of it as my friend or family member is on a trip- and I should be very happy for them, even though I miss them. Also, we are lucky to have good people in our lves, even if it is too short a time,
I know so many people that have very little family, or have had family members that were not good to them, and it makes me realize how fortunate I am.
Best wishes for a better 2013!

This Amendment No. 4 to Employment Agreement (this "Amendment") is effective as of December 31, 2015, by and between Advaxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Robert Petit ("Executive"). Capitalized words used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement, effective as of September 26, 2013, as amended (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company employed Executive in the capacity, for the period, and on the terms and conditions set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement originally provided that in the event the Company terminates Executive's employment without Just Cause, or if Executive voluntarily resigns with Good Reason, or if Executive's employment is terminated due to disability, Executive would be entitled to severance in the amount of his Base Salary, payable in equal monthly installments continuing for twelve (12) months following Executive's Termination Date (the "Severance Payments"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive amended the Agreement in 2015 to provide that the Severance Payments would be paid in a single lump sum within forty-five (45) days of Executive's Termination Date (the "Severance Payment Amendment"); and
WHEREAS, in order to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the Company and Executive desire to further amend the Agreement to reverse the Severance Payment Amendment to provide that the Severance Payments will be payable in equal monthly installments continuing for twelve (12) months following Executive's Termination Date, consistent with the original terms of the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 4(b)(i) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"(i) equal monthly installments at the applicable Base Salary rate then in effect, as determined on the first day of the calendar month immediately preceding the day of termination, to be paid beginning on the first day of the month following such Termination Date and continuing twelve (12) months following the Termination Date (the "Severance Period"). Whenever Severance Payments are payable to Executive hereunder during a time when Executive is partially or totally disabled, and such disability would entitle him to disability income payments according to the terms of any plan or policy now or hereafter provided by the Company, the Severance Payments payable to Executive hereunder shall be inclusive of any such disability income and shall not be in addition thereto, even if such disability income is payable directly to Executive by an insurance company under a policy paid for by the Company."
2. Except as provided herein, the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Agreement, as amended hereby, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the same.

Kubota L3200 hydraulic leak
I recently became an owner of a new kubota 3200. I now have 19 hours on it and I am having a few problems. The other day, I drove it about 50 feet and drove it onto my trailer. I noticed an oil trail on the gravel below showing the whole distance, especially showing on the trailer. The trail was a narrow straight line. It smelled like hydraulic fluid. I believe it came from the 3 point hitch area only because that is where the hydraulic trail first started. It also looked like it came from the brush mower. I know it doesn't run on hydraulic fluid. But I am not sure. I looked everywhere on the tractor, but found no signs of leakage. The hoses on the FEL are clean. I repeated the same scenario with moving the tractor and going up the ramp of the trailer, but there was no sign of leakage. But there is a strong smell of hydraulic fluid. The trail of hydraulic fluid still remains and I feel that there is something wrong with my tractor. I am intending on calling the dealer to get their opinion and come and fix it. Does anyone have any idea do what happened? I did wash off my tractor and brush mower with a hose the night before. I first thought it was water.

Re: Kubota L3200 hydraulic leak
Your mower may have a gearbox full of oil, and could certainly leak.
Definitely check level on the tractor's reservoir and top off just in case it did leak and ran low.
Re: Kubota L3200 hydraulic leak
The other day after mowing for a few hours, my L3400 leaked some hydro fluid. After searching for the source and then doing a search on this site, I'm pretty sure it was coming from the breather tube that is located under the seat. I think the system was overfilled by the dealer and is most likely nothing to worry about.
Since you just washed yours it wouldn't surprise me if what you saw was a water/hydro mixture that was laying in the nooks & crannies and just ran out when it was moved.L3400 HST FEL & backhoe

Healthy fingernails have always been considered to be sign of good health; they tend to be smooth without any discoloration, ridges, deformities, or spots. Nails consist of several layers of a protein known as keratin, which gives protection to the fragile tissues present in the fingers.
The occurrence of white spots on fingernails refers to a condition known as leukonychia. It can be caused due to varied reasons such as diet deficiencies, injuries, allergies, etc. The term leukonychia has its origins in two Greek words, i.e. Leuko meaning white, and Onyx meaning nail. It is a harmless condition and tends to disappear on its own.
Types of leukonychia
Leukonychia has been classified into four different types as per the amount of discoloration and its severity. They are:
- Leukonychia Punctata: It is the most common form and is identified by formation of tiny white spots on fingernails
- Leukonychia Partialis: The fingernails experience partial discoloration or whitening
- Leukonychia Striata: It results in formation of discolored or white stripes on the fingernail.
- Leukonychia Totalis: The complete nail is discolored or whitened
Some of the varied causes of white spots on fingernails are listed below:
- Injuries: One of the most common causes of abnormal white spots on fingernails is an injury. Even minor injuries that may result from mild bruises or a bump against hard objects can lead to development of the white spots. A harsh injury which causes elevated trauma to the affected fingernail can result in formation of blood clots under the nail. Such clots will eventually turn into white spots after some time. Injuries may also arise when clipping or manicuring the fingernails.
- Infections: This condition may also be caused due to fungal or bacterial infection of the nails.
- Drugs: Chemotherapy or intake of certain medications can also result in this condition
- Allergic reactions: Chemicals present in nail hardeners or enamels may trigger an allergic reaction leading to formation of white spots on fingernails.
- Diet deficiencies: Insufficient intake of calcium and zinc can also cause this condition
It may be noted that leukonychia can be an inherited condition or an acquired one. The latter may result from varied diseases such as cirrhosis, typhoid fever, leprosy, medicines, trauma, or hypocalcaemia.
Leukonychia is a harmless condition and the associated white spots tend to vanish on their own without treatment. Patients should however consult a doctor when the discoloration persists or spreads across the nail, as it can indicate the presence of a serious underlying condition.
Normal cases of white spots on fingernails can be treated with changes in diet, good personal hygiene, and taking care to avoid injury or trauma to the nails.
Fungal and bacterial infections of the fingernails can be treated with topical anti-fungal drugs or antibiotic creams. One can prevent such infections by thoroughly washing the hands after being outdoors.

Kanye West to Honor Amy Winehouse with Remix of 'Back To Black'
Kanye West is said to be planning a tribute to Amy Winehouse by recording a remix version of her song 'Back To Black.'
Kanye West is said to be planning a tribute to Amy Winehouse by recording a remix version of her song 'Back To Black.'
During their concert at UCLA Tennis Center in Los Angeles Wednesday night, the band Coldplay paid homage to late singer Amy Winehouse with a few lines from her hit "Rehab", serving as a lead-in to their own "Fix You".
Five years after releasing his first 'Duets' collection, Tony Bennett is back for a sequel — and this time, some of his guests might surprise you.
For the 17-track collection, due September 20, Bennett enlisted a few fellow legends, including Willie Nelson and Aretha Franklin, along with contemporary crooners such as Andrea Bocelli and Michael Bublé. But he also made sure to give 'Duets II' a contemporary spin.
Yesterday, Amy Winehouse's dad, Mitch, surprised the fans that are still gathered outside of her home when he started passing out her clothes. He told the fans, "These are Amy's T-shirts. This is what she would have wanted - for her fans to have her clothes."
Multiple sources are reporting singer Amy Winehouse, 27, was found dead at her home in London at about 4 pm London time.
A press release from the Metropolitan Police in London states:
"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16...

Will Flaherty act on credit? Observers are speculating that Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will move again in his next budget to stem the growth of consumer debt.
Policy makers, from the Bank of Canada governor to the superintendent of bankruptcy, have been urging Canadian households to curb their appetite for cheap money, warning they may not be able to handle the cost when interest rates rise again.
Mr. Flaherty has already introduced tougher mortgage requirements, and Nomura Securities believes he may act a second time.
The latest statistics show levels of household debt at a stunning 148 per cent of personal disposable income, fuelled largely by growth in mortgages but also other debt. Loans tied to home equity have also surged.
"The situation leads us to think that the government is likely to intervene to slow the pace of household credit growth," said Nomura's Charles St-Arnaud.
The Bank of Canada could, of course, raise interest rates to help enforce a diet, but this is not likely and, Mr. St-Arnaud noted, would have "some unintended negative impacts on the Canadian economy." Those include boosting financing costs for businesses and, likely, driving the Canadian dollar even higher.
"It is these risks to the economy that have prompted the Bank of Canada to raise the issue in a number of speeches," Mr. St-Arnaud said in a research note.
"By increasing the awareness of the situation, the Bank of Canada hopes that households and financial institutions will change their behaviour, reducing both the demand for and supply of credit. For the former, this means living within their means and budgeting for higher interest rates in the near future. For the latter, this means imposing tighter credit conditions for consumer loans, credit cards, lines of credit and mortgages."
Mr. St-Arnaud cited three options:
Tougher oversight of banks. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has already told banks they will need to do more monitoring, and stress testing. "The increased scrutiny will likely force banks to be more cautious and tighten credit conditions for households."
Tougher mortgage rules by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. "The most likely way of tightening the requirement would be to reduce the maximum amortization period to 30 years. We doubt that the 90 per cent loan-to-value will be reduced, as high house prices have make it more difficult for households to save enough for such a large cash down-payment."
Tougher rules for home-equity loans. "Generally, the minimum requirement for a [home equity line of credit] is to hold a minimum of 20 per cent equity in the home and the value of the line of credit is a maximum of 80 per cent of the equity in the home. These requirements are not imposed by the government. However, the government could impose further requirements if necessary. A likely approach would be to ensure that borrowers can still make their payments in the event the line of credit is maxed out and/or use rates on a five-year fixed mortgage, instead of a low variable rate. Alternatively, the share of equity that can be accessed could also be lowered."
"The choice of the approach will likely depend on how serious the government thinks the situation is. We think that tighter requirements for [home equity lines of credit] will be the preferred approach, as that would tackle the fastest growing component of household debt," he added, though tougher CMHC requirements are also a valid option.
Really, folks? The C.D. Howe Institute recommends the Bank of Canada raise interest rates next week, citing an improving economic backdrop in the United States and overseas, and ebbing concerns over a backslide or deflation.
Seriously, people? It seems a tad early for another volley from central bank chief Mark Carney, who has raised his benchmark overnight rate three times since the slump ended, bringing it to a still-low 1 per cent.
Mr. Carney should instead watch global developments unfold. Inflation is at his target of 2 per cent, though the core index, which strips out volatile items and guides monetary policy, is at 1.4 per cent, down from earlier.
And while Canada has regained jobs lost to the recession, the unemployment rate is still high at 7.6 per cent, while the strong Canadian dollar remains a threat.
Housing: A bit better than average It was a slightly better than average December for the Canadian resale housing market, the Canadian Real Estate Assocaition says, although prices and inventory remained little changed from the month before.
The national resale price was $344,551, up 2 per cent from the same month last year and little changed from November, Globe and Mail Real Estate writer Steve Ladurantaye reports. Sales were down 14 per cent from a year ago, when a new record for December's sales was set.
China boosts reserve requirements The People's Bank of China ramped up its inflation fight today with another increase in reserve requirements for its banks. It's the fourth time in less than three month the central bank has done this.
The reserve requirement ratio, or RRR, for China's major banks will soon be 19.5 per cent - an average 18.5 per cent when all lenders are factored in - with today's half a percentage point hike.
"The apparent preference for using the RRR to tighten policy in part reflects fears that interest rate increases would attract more hot money," said Mark Williams, senior China economist at Capital Economics in London, though he added he doesn't share that view.
Inflation on some radar screens Inflation is back on some radar screens.
In the euro zone, the annual inflation rate jumped from 1.9 per cent in November to 2.2 per cent in December, moving above the European Central Bank's target for the first time in about two years, Globe and Mail European correspondent Eric Reguly reports today. Germany's inflation rate climbed to 1.9 per cent from 1.6 per cent. And in Britain, inflation is on its way toward 4 per cent.
This comes a day after ECB chief Jean-Claude Trichet warned he act decisively to combat inflationary pressures.
Separately, in India today, the government reported that its wholesale price index climbed to 8.43 per cent in December from 7.48 per cent a month earlier.
State of the U.S. economy Retail sales in the United States came in below expectations today, but it was still a good showing. Sales rose 0.6 per cent last month, the U.S. Commerce Department said. When you exclude what are seen as the volatile items of cars and gasoline, sales were up 0.4 per cent.
December's showing marked the sixth consecutive increase, which highlights some spunk among U.S. consumers.
"A number of big-ticket purchases made strong gains in the month, which is a good anecdotal measure of consumer confidence," said deputy chief economist Beata Caranci of Toronto-Dominion Bank. "... A decisive turnaround in consumer spending looks to have taken hold in August and continues to move forward."
Separately, the U.S. Labor Department reported, consumer prices rose 0.5 per cent in December from November, while the core rate inched up just 0.1 per cent. The annual overall rate rose to 1.5 per cent, but this was driven by gas prices.
"Core inflation is expected to remain near current low levels this year, encouraging the Fed to complete its Treasury-purchase program through mid-year and to keep rates steady until early next year," said senior economist Sal Guatieri of BMO Nesbitt Burns.
What do the reports signal?
"Together, December's U.S. retail sales and consumer price reports suggest that real consumption growth accelerated to 3.8 per cent annualized in the fourth quarter, from 2.4 per cent in the third," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics in Toronto.
"If our calculations are correct, that would be the strongest quarterly growth in consumption for four years. We are still skeptical that this faster pace of growth can be sustained beyond the first quarter, however, even after allowing for the new reduction in payroll taxes. The first signs of a slowdown are already beginning to emerge."
A fresh reading on industrial production in the United States showed a gain of 0.8 per cent in December. That brought fourth-quarter annualized growth to 2.3 per cent, which, as senior economist Jennifer Lee of BMO Nesbitt Burns put it, isn't spectacular but does mark the sixth gain in a row.
"More promising news on the economic front and adds to Fed Chairman Bernanke's view that the economy is becoming more self-sustaining," she said.
JPMorgan profit jumps JPMorgan Chase & Co. today kicked off earnings among U.S. banks with a hefty gain in profit and fewer bad loan losses.
JPMorgan earned $4.8-billion (U.S.) or $1.12 a share, compared to $3.3-billion or 74 cents a year earlier.
Chief executive officer Jamie Dimon said challenges remain but there are signs of "stability" and growth coming back to global markets and the economy.
Targeting Canada Analysts believe the entry into Canada by Target Corp. will resound in many, including heightened competition on the Canadian retail scene.
"We believe Target's large-scale purchase provides it with national scale and relevancy in the Canadian market," UBS Securities Canada analyst Vishal Shreedhar said today, a day after the U.S. retailer's Zellers deal.
"We believe Target will assume high-quality locations - 83 per cent of the Canadian population is within a 10-minute drive to a Zellers site."
Over the long term, Target's entry into Canada could have "an important incremental impact" on the retail scene, resulting in greater competition, he said. Shorter term, though, competition could "soften" amid the transition.
"Furthermore, we believe that it will take time for Target to adapt its merchandising strategy and brad to the Canadian market," he added. "We point to Lowe's which we believe is still trying to adapt to the Canadian market despite being in Canada since 2008. Retailing is very competitive and we do not think Target is assured similar productivity levels as those achieved in the U.S."
Wal-Mart Canada, The Bay and Sears Canada are the "most vulnerable" to Target's entry, he said.

A look at Iceland's meltdown Iceland turned to the United States for help during its 2008 meltdown, looking for a loan "preferably" in the amount of $1-billion (U.S.), newly released WikiLeaks documents show.
While it didn't get the loan, instead taking an International Monetary Fund bailout of more than $2-billion, it did spark some angst among the Americans that Iceland would turn to the Russians for help, the cables suggest.
In a letter addressed "Dear Tim," referring to Timothy Geithner when he was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Iceland's central bank chief, David Oddsson, runs through the embattled country's efforts up to that point in October, including a standby deal with the IMF and discussions on Iceland's request for a currency swap arrangement with the Fed.
(When you're looking for $1-billion, you might try "Dear Mr. Geithner.")
Mr. Oddsson did eventually get to the point, in the second-last paragraph of the letter: "I hereby request participation from the Federal Reserve Bank in the financing of the economic program. Swap liens are short term in nature, but we need a financing commitment over a longer term horizon. Because of this, the Central Bank ideally needs a loan from the Federal Reserve of a medium term maturity, preferably in an amount of 1 billion USD. We are also seeking financing from other sources.
Mr. Oddsson added he looked forward to "prompt and favourable consideration." We're not sure about the first, but he didn't get the latter.
In a cable to Washington, U.S. ambassador Carol van Voorst pointed out that Iceland's foreign minister was aware of the letter but hadn't seen it. The acting permanent secretary told the ambassador, according to the cable, that the ministry was concerned that such a request got to the right people, and the U.S. could expect that request through "proper channels."
"Comment: The Government of Iceland is obviously struggling with problems of co-ordination and turf in dealing with the financial crisis," according to the cable. "Away for the first couple of weeks of the turmoil (due to brain surgery), the Foreign Minister is attempting to reassert her normal role in foreign affairs. The Central Bank, however, is guarding its perceived prerogatives closely - and, judging from the events of the last few weeks, unwisely. End Comment."
The U.S. embassy was concerned that Iceland, whose economy and banking system were collapsing, would go to Moscow for a loan instead, which, among other things, could have given Russia some sway in Iceland's offshore energy developments. There's also a former U.S. air base there.
"We have long-term national interests in the North Atlantic that a negative response would jeopardize," the ambassador wrote.
Boyd Erman's Morning Meeting Coupon website Groupon is skyrocketing in valuation, recently raising $590-million and now eyeing a spring initial public offering that would give the company a valuation topping $15-billion (U.S.), Streetwise columnist Boyd Erman reports today.

I had to re-look at this. Simple backgrounds rule. Excessive "noise" ruins a lot of decent photography. Cute pin-up pose and dramatic viewpoint of car gives it depth and excitement. Simple monochrome palette makes it more universal. The other ones are nice too. I'll hafta get some rat rod photos and draw one of my pin-ups on front. I think we are both heading towards the same goal by different methods.
Thank you Francois. I appreciate your critique. This drawing was inspired by one of my first pin up photo shoots. I was fortunate enough to get a model who was not only patient with me but was keen to please.
These are great!
cute! love the polka dots!
Such great references n.n Love how this turned out
Thank you. I use my own photography as references for this theme.
Great work my friend! Love the wheels, great job!
wow looks great bet it was a pain to do though
this is hot! I love your work so much
Thank you Courtney. It's always a bonus when someone likes my work. I appreciate your feedback
Wow. I thought this was a photograph at first.
Nice work!
Nice work!

Bentley Motors has launched its new Continental GTC Convertible at the Qatar International Motor Show. The all new convertible, which takes cues from its GT coupe sibling launched in 2011, boasts of an even more luxurious and spacious hand-crafted cabin.
It also has soft-touch leather hides, cool-touch metals, deep-pile carpets and an extensive range of wood veneers. It enables faster gear changes more than ever, thanks to a more powerful 575PS 6.0 liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and the new QuickShift transmission.
Bentley Motors' member of the board for sales and marketing, Alasdair Stewart, commented that the new GTC has always been the "most emotional model" in the Continental lineup and "a showcase" for Bentley design. He added that the GTC is "a pure British convertible" true to the classic Bentley units, but with the performance, technology and overall design excellence put into the vehicle, the automaker is now "writing a new chapter for the Bentley convertible driver.">
The new GTC is founded on the previous cabriolet, which launched in 2006. The automaker's engineering and design teams have virtually boosted every aspect of the renowned convertible with an unbending focus on quality.
The Bentley Mulsanne is also featured at the Qatar Motor Show. It continues to do remarkably well in the Middle East. It is a comprehensively modern flagship that catches the essence of the Bentley brand. It produces effortless performance from the classic 6.75-liter V8 engine while having an extravagant cabin with advanced technology and handcrafted luxury. It symbolizes the best of British luxury motoring that still attracts considerable interest in the Middle East market, which comprises 15% of worldwide sales.
The Qatar car show opens as Bentley returns to pre-recession demand levels. Sales increased by 37 percent worldwide last year to 7,003 cars, accelerating as the year progressed. Last month, 1,059 units were delivered to customers, an increase by 69 percent from a year before. December was the automaker's best month since the pre-recession record of 2007, and the second best month in its history.

Batista vs. Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar for WWE WrestleMania XXX?
The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and Batista's plan for WrestleMania XXX.
- Batista vs. Brock Lesnar: As we had reported, that Batista vs. Brock Lesnar has been teased recently on TV by the WWE and it might have appeared that the same is being done for the WrestleMania. Although, latest news coming out of WWE suggests that Batista vs. Brock Lesnar is being teased to build something between the two for sometime later this year and not for WrestleMania.
As of now, The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar seems a lock for the WrestleMania XXX unless a fresh change of plans occur.

The Federal Government has ordered an independent enquiry into the alleged death of a pregnant woman at the Federal Medical Centre, Bida, Niger State.
The order was delivered by the Minister of State for Heath, Dr. Muhammad Pate, on Friday, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and External Relations, Mr. Tashikalmah Hallah, in Abuja.
Pate had commended the management of the Federal Medical Centre, Bida, for the prompt action taken after the incident, but insisted that a thorough investigation into the matter must be conducted.
Hallah, however, told the News Agency of Nigeria in a telephone interview that the woman died on February 24, after child birth and the family felt the death was due to negligence.
The minister said the incident offered an opportunity to address some of the systemic issues plaguing the health sector and ensure that that never happened again. The investigation, Pate said, would be concluded in three weeks and action would be taken.
"The ministry is taking the issue of maternal deaths very seriously and it is unacceptable for the country to continue to lose pregnant women during child birth, my sincere condolences go to the family.
"A major policy thrust of the ministry is the focus on improving the quality of care through better clinical governance."
Pate said the objective of the initiative was to address quality in three principal ways such as ensuring patient safety. The minister added that care should be provided in a way that was responsive to the needs of the patients and respectful of their privacy and that all patients should also be treated with dignity.
"We have put in place a task team to drive efforts to ensure that we safeguard the safety of patients and the quality of care provided," he added.

This letter is to commend the "Barleycorn's Experience" for our St. Joseph Grade School 55th Reunion for the Class of 1961 on July 9, 2016. Meeting with Jeanna a couple months before to discuss the details of our event was a delight. She was professional yet her relaxed, comfortable style made discussing numbers and menu painless. It was your suggestion of the ribs/chicken combo being so popular (and reasonable) that started us off. That was our final menu along with salad and sides. Attendees loved it and all were complimentary.
Your servers Hannah and Justin were the best. They arrived at the time expected, set up everything quickly and were "ready to go", even ahead of time. They were so courteous, friendly and made the food line a joy.
The food? It was delicious. Just the right combination and extremely plentiful! A special "thanks" for the extra food tins that were provided. The Sisters of Notre Dame who were our guests were very happy to go back to the Heights with 11 food tins!
So often these days people are quick to criticize. It is a pleasure to share with you that our "Barleycorn's Experience" was topnotch. A sincere "thank you" from all of us!

I truly feel you have a gem of an employee with Jeanna.
Recently, I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanna Garmany.
I am not from the area and with my daughter getting married and having a
dinner reception, it was important that I find a caterer. The bride and groom
decided they would like it to be catered by Barleycorns. I was put in touch
with Jeanna Garmany and I am so glad that I was.
Jeanna was very professional and friendly. In the approximately three weeks
that I was working with Jeanna, she was very helpful and kind throughout the
process. It was so nice to work with someone so helpful especially with the
distance between us.
I have worked with quite a few caterers in my day, and I truly feel you have a
gem of an employee with Jeanna. She made the day run smoothly as it
pertained to the dinner reception. I am very grateful as is my daughter and her

Product Overview
Feature-rich for motor control applications that require variable speed, and cost effective enough for those that do not. The SCM Series drive virtually eliminates the need for 2-speed motors and starters and reversing starters, and it can be applied as a "phase-converter" to operate a three phase motor from a single-phase supply.
The SCM is typically a better solution than mechanical variable speed, DC control or eddy-current drives.
- IP 20 enclosure with power terminals on top, motor terminals on the bottom
- Optional footprint filter
- 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA speed reference
- One relay and one open-collector output
- Up to 8 selectable preset speeds
- Isolated start/stop plus 3 programmable inputs
- DC injection braking on stop (up to 1 hr)
The compact packaging and comprehensive functionality make the SCM and SCL an ideal drive solution for use on equipment requiring variable speed, soft starting or reversing operation. The SCM Series can be used with 3-phase AC induction motors rated from 1/3 HP up to 15HP (0.25 - 11 kW) on voltages from 120V single-phase to 480 V three-phase. The SCL is for 240V single-phase inputs up to 3 HP (2.2 kW).
These easy to use drives are configured and ready to use right out of the box for most simple applications. By simple reprogramming, the SCM and SCL will perform many application specific tasks such as multiple preset speeds, electronic braking and motor jogging to name a few. Like all AC Tech sub-micro drives, the SCM and SCL drives use the EPM memory technology for fast and efficient programming.
The SCL frequency inverter includes an integral line filter to comply with the relevant European Union standards for EMC and RFI levels. These drives are identical in all other respects.Technical documentation for the SCM Series Drive, and all AC Tech brand drives, is available in our Technical Library.

When you need to program or replace a drive, whether it is 1 or 100 drives, the Electronic Programming Module (EPM) gets it done simply, quickly and most important, accurately. There is no hassle of reconfiguring each parameter or resetting the drive to factory or user default settings.
When drive reset is necessary, reset to factory default or customer settings in seconds with the EPM. When the EPM equipped drive is used on a line containing multiple drives with the identical setup, it takes just minutes to program the entire line. And EPMs can be replaced with or without power connected. When a drive must be replaced, the parameter configuration is not lost, simply plug in the pre-programmed EPM. You are good to go with Ever Present Memory.
