A striking and bold design featuring a bright easy read display, the men's TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch is rugged and highly accurate.
A fine crushed steel 41mm diameter case and fine brushed stainless steel bracelet ensure longevity and easy maintenance. The watch face is sapphire crystal glass with a double anti-reflective treatment, around which sits the steel bezel which has a black titanium carbide coating. The crown is also steel and features a black titanium carbide coating which compliments the bezel and hands nciely.
A highly robust and accurate Swiss quartz movement keeps this watch ticking, a shock resistant design which is also resistant to magnetic fields. There is an early warning system to let you know when the battery is due for a replacement.
The hands and hour markers are highly polished rhodium, finished in black all with luminous inserts to aid viewing in the dark. The outer edge of the dial features seconds numerals, there is a date window at the 3 position, the bezel is uni-directional and the crown protected by black titanium coated shoulders.
The bracelet is extra secure, featuring a double locking system which will prevent accidental release when the watch is being worn.
A racing inspired collection it may be, but this model is also so well made it can be worn for almost all water sports. It is rated at 200m (20ATM), so is perfect for most water based activities except deep sea diving.
The men's TAG Heuer Formula 1 WAZ1111.BA0875 watch is bold, versatile and incredibly hard wearing. ©

STRONG growth is expected in Indonesia's mass affluent and high net worth populations in the next three years, representing a significant opportunity for wealth managers, according to an Oct 14 report by data and analytics firm GlobalData.
The number of mass affluent individuals, defined as those with liquid assets of US$50,000 to US$1 million, has risen from 943,370 in 2014 to an estimated 1.3 million in 2018, said GlobalData in its report Indonesia Wealth Management: Opportunities and Risks to 2022.
This represents an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 7.3 per cent. The number is expected to grow further to 1.5 million in 2022.
"Increasing employment levels and strong predicted retail investment growth will further push the rise of affluent individuals in Indonesia over the next four years," said GlobalData wealth analyst Shivani Gupta.
The high net worth (HNW) population, defined as those with liquid assets of more than US$1 million, is expected to grow at an average of 7.7 per cent annually over the next four years: from an estimated 40,400 in 2018 to 51,900 in 2022.

"Growth will be particularly pronounced in the higher wealth bands," said the report. The number of investors with liquid assets of US$3 million to US$10 million is forecast to grow at an AAGR of 10.1 per cent, and those with liquid assets over US$10 million, at 9.3 per cent.
Home and abroad
Over a quarter (26.8 per cent) of Indonesian HNW investors' wealth is held outside the country, with tax efficiency being the main reason for offshore investment.
In 2018, Indonesia's total affluent population -- both the mass affluent and HNW -- accounted for only 0.71 per cent of the adult population, but held 95.4 per cent of total onshore liquid assets.
According to GlobalData, Indonesian HNW investors hold the bulk (89.9 per cent) of their investments in liquid assets such as equities, mutual funds, deposits, and bonds. Deposits remain the top choice among retail investors, accounting for two-thirds of total liquid retail savings and investments in 2018.
"However, wealth managers must remain aware of the slowly increasing investments in illiquid assets, with their proportion expected to rise over the coming years," said the report.
The value of Indonesia's retail savings and investments market has tripled from US$108 billion in 2008 to US$326 billion in 2018, and is expected to cross the US$400 billion mark in 2022.

Fiendish Floridians might be trying to rig the election, but at Miami Fashion Week, things were pure and honest, and there was a really good gift bag (though it included the ultimate comp whore's dilemma: a coupon for $200 worth of free food—in Boca Raton!). Unlike New York's Fashion Week, Miami's allows any old person to pay a fee and watch the shows, so the event attracts a sprinkling of really interested folk, not just jaded journos who'd rather be home looking at the slides. Even better, the models are allowed to perform shtick on the runway rather than having to do that constipated strut into hell, and as a result, I got flashed with body parts of three colors, six genders, and nine doctors.
I was sent down by the organizers to see KIMORA LEE SIMMONS's Baby Phat show, though Kimora herself didn't make it because—as is now legend—her cat Max had passed on to furball heaven. "Max was like her first baby," a publicist explained to me, with a trembling voice. "The Baby Phat logo is based on him. She went to Paris with that cat!" I feigned an uncontrollable sob, not letting on that I only really well up from allergies to cats.
The shows were held in a deco building that had been painted pink for a BRITNEY SPEARS video, then, when she canceled, was restored to a shade even whiter than her trailer trash heinie. (I love a happy ending.) Fortunately, the fashion on parade was not ready for the big litter box in the sky. First, Ryan Kenny's "luxury hip-hop" line trotted out studly guys in fabulously fruity floral shirts, proving that today's hip-hop maestro is very secure in his sexuality, whatever (know what I'm sayin'?) that may be. Alas, one of the models was so secure he later ran off with the $20,000 watch he wore on the runway, but the police took care of that, and now the guy knows what time it is.
Suddenly I knew it was time for the Baby Phat show, which was a perfectly legal mix of harem, highland, alien, and POINTER SISTERS influences, all saucily served in open-toed lamé fuck-me heels. Max would have licked himself with glee.
But I needed to work my own runway in South Beach at night, inevitably hitting upon the perfectly named the Hotel, where the garden restaurant Wish serves light-up "electronic cocktails" that redefine "getting lit," and the sultry rooftop Spire Bar has tie-dye-wearing waiters keeping you iridescent. The kook caravan also stopped everywhere from the refreshingly civilized Talula, where the chef should be governor, to the gay bar Twist, where the go-go gods look sizzling hot until they step down off their platforms and only reach up to your navel (though their weirdly placed muscles make them six feet wide)!
On Sunday, the sprawling poolside party at the Raleigh took on a ritualistic touch as skinny people gathered 'round a fire as if making some kind of Survivor decision. The bash's co-host is INGRID CASARES, who, as you'll remember, PARIS HILTON vehemently denied making out with last year. (That's where the airy heiress draws the line, I guess.) Well, the local Miami papers recently had Hilton practically tonguing a female VJ, tee hee!
The wildest adventure of all was a day trip to Jimbo's, a swampy fishermen's shack on Biscayne Bay where overripe babes and overage bikers buy $2 slabs of "smoked fish," score some mulch, and bop their fab flab to Journey songs amid strewn copies of The Economist. You practically expect the Country Bears to hop out of a shrimping boat and start singing "Afternoon Delight," but then you're awakened by the sight of one of the gals "grinding" old Jimbo.
Back in New York, sex acts got more highbrow treatment at the HBO premiere of TIMOTHY GREENFIELD-SANDERS's porn star documentary, Thinking XXX. (Disclosure: I'm in it—wearing clothes—though I'm eclipsed by fellow commentator GORE VIDAL's immortal remark, "Boys are expected to squirt as often as possible in order to fructify an egg.") By the phallic hors d'oeuvres, I asked SAVANNA SAMSON what's the most shocking thing she's ever done on camera (besides being interviewed by BILL O'REILLY). "I did five guys at once," she crowed. "At first I thought it would make me look cheap, but then I regrouped and said, 'I'm doing this. I can step up to the plate and I can do it well.' " Well, I couldn't, mainly because I'd never figure out where five fructifying thingies would go. "You can't do it if you're claustrophobic," instructed Samson, interestingly.
I got a claustro attack watching the dread Brooklyn the Musical, which has five cast members doing you at once, all wrapped in trash bags. They can certainly sang, and I loved their costumes made of found objects ("Salvation Armani," one character quips). But the lead character has no discernible personality except to keep repeating, "I'm looking for my father so I can complete the 'Unfinished Lullaby,' " and unlike Brooklyn the borough, Brooklyn the Musical ends up being unforgivably boring.
But back to the porning, I love how the MURDOCH-owned Post has been trying to smear the woman suing Bill O'Reilly (from the Murdoch-owned Fox News Channel) every day for the last two weeks, stopping short only at "She picked her nose in public 12 years ago." They should relax. There's no way O'Reilly did and said all those fructifying things. After all, he rails against pornography and open sexuality all the time on his show. Case closed!
Speaking of open sexuality, LAURA BUSH recently joined the Republican chorus of "not nice" in response to KERRY's reference to lesbian MARY CHENEY in the last debate. "I don't think it's appropriate for anyone to bring up anyone's child during any campaign," she chirped, adding that she's pretty sure her daughters feel the same way. (Please—those fag hags?) I guess she didn't tell all that to DICK CHENEY, who made that "Lynne and I have a gay daughter" speech in August. And I guess Cheney, who's also angry, forgets that he responded to Edwards's similar remarks by saying thanks "for the kind words." And I guess the definition of "nice" is keeping Mary hidden from the convention stage while the prez continues trying to amend the Constitution. But don't get me started.
Litter Box
What aging pretty-boy singer has a longtime partner, but was interestingly seen cavorting around a D.C. bathhouse? (Open relationship or just open legs?) What '80s rocker who always kept 'em guessing (like "How dykey can she get?") did it with a bicoastal female publicist? What model who boasts about how writing comes so very effortlessly to her actually had a ghostwriter? What ex-child star says she's clean but was not long ago seen communing with a tall glass of wine?
What dead gay British actor had a very specific fetish for corduroy? (He called it "the munch.") What longtime unmarried Hollywood couple gleefully supplies stories and photos about themselves to the tabs, feeling there's no such thing as bad PR? What anti-gay rapper has supposedly long done the munch, I mean the deed, with his mentor, which might explain a lot? What hip-hop guy showed up at a men's mag shoot in a suit pinker than a canceled Britney video, which gave the self-loathing stylist a conniption? (The mogul read the guy to filth and said it's the pink suit or nothing, so the queen had to deal with it—though the mag ran the photo in black-and-white.) What if God was one of us?
Web Extra
I just caught up with Team America: World Police, and though the puppety visuals were gorgeous and there were hilarious set pieces, I was amazed that the film terrorized the audience with so many stretches of unfunny boredom. I was also surprised that the wacko creators have such contempt for lefty actors, the same thesps who'd probably defend South Park against the conservative onslaught. As for the film's conceit of having those actors belong to the Film Actors Guild (i.e., FAG), I'd mind the reference less if one of those wackos came out already!
Speaking of Which: According to The New York Times, MARC CHERRY, the writer of the hit TV series Desperate Housewives, is a "bachelor." Author DAVID EHRENSTEIN was horrified to read that musty old signifier in a Cherry profile by BERNARD WEINRAUB, having interviewed Cherry as an openly gay man. Blogs Ehrenstein, "Why has the Times elected to regard him the way the Republican Party does MARY CHENEY?"
Moving on to Someone Who Should be Hidden: That ASHLEE SIMPSON technical fiasco on Saturday Night Live came as no surprise to anyone who was at the dress rehearsal earlier that evening. My sources say that at the rehearsal, right before her first song, Ashlee tried to say hi to the crowd, but no one heard her because her mic wasn't on. And they say JESSICA is the dumb one! By the way, gossiplist.com points out that BETH MCCARTHY, the director of that SNL show, also directed the Super Bowl halftime show with JANET JACKSON's wardrobe malfunction. I say let her direct the election coverage—a lot of interesting stuff will surely be exposed!

Millions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Africa are sourcing their produce directly from farmers, creating a huge industry that is enabling many in the continent live off agriculture, a new report that was launched in Nairobi on Tuesday has revealed.
The report by the Nairobi-based Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (Agra) revealed that 64 percent of food consumed in Africa is handled by the SMEs, therefore, offering mostly women along the value chain a livelihood.
"These SMEs source directly from millions of smallholder farmers across sub-Saharan Africa. These businesses are often women-led, and they include food processors, wholesalers, and retailers," said the 2019 Africa Agricultural Status Report.
The SMEs provide a range of services, from transport and logistics to the sale of inputs such as fertilizer and seed to farmers.
"SMEs are the biggest investors in building markets for farmers in Africa today, and will likely remain so for the next 10 to 20 years," said Agnes Kalibata, president of Agra.
Kalibata called for African governments to ensure SMEs are well-grounded to continue offering business to small farmers.
"We live in a global market. Our job today has to be to ensure that these SMEs are grounded enough to provide the right kind of support to family farms; and to be competitive so that they can survive and thrive in an increasingly interconnected and global market. Their success will determine the future of agriculture and food security in Africa," she said.
The AASR finds that, overall, only about 20 percent of the volume of food consumed in Africa fits the conventional notion of subsistence agriculture — food consumed directly by the farming households that grow it.
"The majority of what Africans eat flows through what are known as private sector "value chains" managed by SME businesses that purchase commodities directly from smallholder farmers and then process, package, transport and sell food products to the urban and rural consumer," said the report.
The SMEs also play a large, growing and vital role in markets for inputs like fertilizer and seed, as well as farm machines and pesticides.
The report notes that although 70-80 percent of people in rural Africa work on their own farms, this work is often part-time, and comprises only 40 percent of total labor time in rural areas.
It adds that up to 60 percent of rural labor time is spent off the farm, and about 40 percent of this non-farm labor time is in agri-food system work such as wholesale, logistics, processing and retail through both self-employment and wage labor.
"SMEs are the key employers in this sector, intertwined with rural family farmers. This interdependence makes their survival and growth even more crucial, with women and youth particularly benefiting," said the report.
The report called on governments and donors not to "reinvent the wheel" by duplicating the work of the private sector.
"Setting up state-supported or subsidized businesses, even in remote areas, would crowd out grassroots entrepreneurs. Instead, the key is to create conditions that make it easy for businesses to establish, develop and grow," noted the report. Enditem

It was not much more expensive than a "herd" tour and infinitely more enjoyable. Maria brought the Parthenon to life for us. Her knowledge of history and events and the way she related the impacts of those events and designs to us today was nothing short of masterful. I am enclosing her contact information as one whom I highly recommend to anyone traveling to Greece.

With a strong foundation in graphic and clothing design, Shaughnessy Keely's love for fashion first began when her mom taught her at a young age to always focus on fashion before function.
Shaughnessy has since built a career around fashion design by launching her own label of casual wear, Hold Steady Clothing Co., that feature edgy prints and strong graphic elements.
We had the pleasure of meeting up with Ms. Keely to talk about anything and everything, from what inspires her clothing designs to why Derek Cardigan glasses fit her personal style so perfectly.
We Asked Shaughnessy…
Guilty pleasure: SHAKIRAOKE. It's exactly what it sounds like!
Favourite cuisine: Mexican vegetarian and anything else that gives me heartburn
Favourite glasses brand: Derek Cardigan
Going out attire: Black disco pants, long loose blouse & platforms to make me human-sized
What are some upcoming trends: We've already seen tons of floral and camo prints, maxi skirts and platforms. Next year I predict monochromatic everything with lots of texture. All black on black faux furs and pleathers and pants. And more tattoos! I've recently been noticing a lot of tattooed models on the runway.
Describe your personal style: It's hard to describe my own personal style but I would say it's somewhere between Cruella De Vil and Esmerelda. My mom always taught me fashion before function, so I'm usually not one to dress comfy. I also love the idea of being completely tattooed and modified, yet dressing super sophisticated. For example I would definitely choose to wear a little black dress over yoga pants any day.
How do glasses play a role in your style: I feel that Derek Cardigan's are the perfect accessory to make you look even more sophisticated than you are and I have yet to see a pair that look bad on someone. I love being modified and tattooed, but I'm also a huge fan of dressing for success and these math symbol frames definitely do the trick. I also love that they come in so many different colours and shapes!

About the Tübingen School of Education (TüSE)
The content, structure, and personell of the teacher education program at the University of Tübingen has changed substantially in a short amount of time. Until 2015, the Centre for Teacher Education and the Teacher Education Working Group were the University of Tübingen´s two facilities in teacher education. In October 2015, the Center for Teacher Education (thematically restricted to academic studies and teaching) was dissolved and replaced by the Tübingen School of Education as the central overarching facility at the University.
This transition was accompanied by the expansion of six departments (Academic Study and Teaching / Student Advising; The Teaching Profession; Research; Training and Development; Inclusion, Diversity and Homogeneity; Internationalization), a new organizational structure, and a considerable increase in staff (18 new professors in Teacher Education, 8 new tenured lecturer positions) and other employees.
The new and improved Teacher Education department at the Tübingen School of Education is oriented towards the guiding principles recognized university-wide: "Research – Relevance – Responsibility." These key concepts permeate every department of the Tübingen School of Education and are thus essential to TüSE´s mission statement:
"Wir bringen Lehrerbildung voran – forschungsbasiert, anwendungsbezogen und verantwortungsbewusst"
The move to our own building at Wilhelmsstraße 31 has provided an interactive solution – a readily-accessible area which all students and employees in the Teacher Education department at the University of Tübingen can make their own.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Auto Repair Company
Owning a car is regarded as a liability because of the constant repair costs that you will incur. The regular repair of the car ensure that it remains in the perfect conditions and functions optimally. It is recommended that after covering a certain distance the car should be serviced. The existence of several auto repair companies is as a result of the demand. The existence of several companies makes the process of choosing the right one challenging. Therefore, you should be prepared on how to identify the most suitable auto repair company. By reading the article herein you will learn some of the factors that you should consider when choosing an auto repair company.
The first factor that you should consider is the availability of the right staff. The company should be equipped with a workforce that has the needed skills and knowledge. You should check if they are auto mechanics before hiring. The most credible source of information regarding the qualification of the workforce is the training certificates. The individuals that will render the services should be qualified so that you can be confident in getting the right quality of repair services. The number of mechanics available should also be big to guarantee fast delivery of services.
The next factor that you should consider is the availability of the relevant auto repair tools. The repair services will only be carried out at satisfactory levels if the right tools and pieces of machinery are used. The quality of repair services that you will receive is usually influenced by the tools. The right company to hire is one with the advanced auto repair tools and pieces of machinery. You should also analyze the safety gears that are available so that you can avoid accidents. The process will be carried fast and safety if the right safety gears are available.
The other factor that you should consider is the specialization of the company. The specialization is contributed by the wide range of repair services related to cars. For instance, there are companies that on deals with engine repairs while other handle the body. You should choose a specialized company as you will get better repair services. Also, you should check if the company specializes in offering repair services to specific models of car.
The last factor that you should consider is the professionalism and trustworthiness of the workforce. It is possible that the mechanic can replace the old parts with the new ones and the only way to avoid that is choosing a company that you can trust the workforce. These tips are the key to choosing the best auto repair company in the market.

It really is.
And there's a reason for this secrecy
This is the house were Hitler spent the last years of his life.
This is a mansion located near the Nahuel Huapi Lake, in Patagonia, Argentina.
During the years following the Second World War this was a remote location populated by many members of the German Nazi party.

Fiorentina top Serie A: Can Sousa's Viola compare to vintage Tuscan teams?
After Fiorentina thrashed favourites Inter Milan 4-1 to reach the Serie A summit for the first time since 1999, Coral writers contemplate what this surprising campaign could have in-store and how Paulo Sousa's side stacks up against that last table-topping Tuscan team.
It was not yet the new Millennium when the vivacious Viola (20/1 with Coral to lift Europa League) last scaled these heights, just to hammer home this eyebrow-raising achievement.
"Football is like this in Latin countries, it goes from zero to 80," said Sousa of Fiorentina's first place fireworks.
"I already said there were other teams who invested heavily for that, but I won't hold back either, as we have the quality to face every match knowing we can win." Strong words.
To put it into context, until now the Northern Italians had failed to clinch pole-position in over two-and-a-half decades, after those famous Florentine representatives fluffed their best chance to snatch a Scudetto since the 1960s.
Having parted ways with manager Vincenzo Montella in summer, few could have predicted how Sousa would propel Fiorentina further than his predecessor, but do his current crop compare favorably to those classic 1999 cult heroes?
While the new coaching incumbent at the Stadio Artemio Franchi will undoubtedly be thrilled to lead the Italian top-flight, history suggests the Portuguese gaffer should not get ahead of himself.
This Serie A season is just six matchweeks in, with giants such as Juventus, Lazio, Napoli and AC Milan all enduring patches of poor form, allowing feisty Fiorentina to flex their muscles.
Similar events occurred in 1998/99, when a vibrant Viola led the title charge, before eventually falling away frustratingly to third after flaky performances put paid to title hopes.
Italian football was vastly different back then, so the Artemio Franchi outfit boasted global names on their rarefied roster, such as lethal Argentina legend Gabriel Batistuta, Portuguese midfield plotter Rui Costa and underrated Italian custodian Francesco Toldo.
Brilliant and gifted Batistuta pulled on the purple shirt whilst still in his prolific pomp, starring as Fiorentina's most ferocious forward for almost a decade, notching a tremendous 21 times over 28 league games in his penultimate campaign with the club in 1999.
Almost the catalyst to hand the club silverware success, injury to the Argentine is widely blamed for the Viola ultimately coming up short, yet it was perhaps an over-reliance on 'Batigol' that was the real culprit.
Scouring this Tuscan teamsheet today and there is clearly no player of Batistuta's calibre, though this arguably works in smart Sousa's favour.
Four from six in Serie A, including a clinical hat-trick against Inter, shows summer striker signing Nikola Kalinic's face fits far better in Florence than it did in England with former club Blackburn Rovers.
Crafty and cool Kalinic's arrival gives Viola attacking depth their previous title tilt did not possess, with previous top poacher Khouma Babacar bravely benched alongside most technically talented attacker Giuseppe Rossi for the Inter victory.
Another Eastern European outlet in Josip Ilicic has also proven pivotal from the wing, with those wide positions crucial to Sousa's ever-evolving 3-4-2-1 system.
Portugal playmaker Costa was formerly the brains behind Fiorentina's creativity, but the team of today relies on genuine width through Ilicic and Jakub Blaszczykowski, as have nobody in current ranks to match their previous iconic number 10.
Instead, the likes of Borja Valero and Milan Badelj provide a mixture of grit and guile from the middle of the park, giving a stronger base for potential success.
Defensive shortcomings were also roundly given as reason for Giovanni Trapattoni's team's capitulation in 1999, with 10 more conceded than eventual second spot Lazio, despite big names such as Toldo and tenacious full back Moreno Torricelli in the ranks.
Sousa, now showing signs of being a much savvier tactician than in his unsuccessful days in England, may never match the title haul of a Trapattoni, but he does have his modern-day Fiorentina (13/8 to win Europa League Group I) tight at the back and much more finely tuned.
Joint-first with just four conceded in the league sees Viola top Serie A on goal difference showing that, despite the lack of individual brilliance compared to their table-topping predecessors, team work and spirit of players such as Marcos Alonso and Davide Astori could see this Fiorentina team posses the stamina for a longer Scudetto challenge.

"Individuals and Interactions" Virtual Training
Gil Broza hosting a structured series of interviews with 11 experts on how to put people before process for outstanding results.
Despite Agile's 20-year track record and wildfire-like spread, its human dimension still proves tricky. The results are showing, as too many teams and leaders accomplish far less than their potential. Most are aware of the challenges but not how to overcome them.
This virtual training consists of 10 hours of structured interviews Gil has had with 11 outstanding authors, mentors, executives, leaders, facilitators, innovators, coaches, and practitioners. Every one of them has been putting people before process in knowledge work for over 20 years.
You know many of these experts from books, conferences, and webinars — they are the real deal. When you hear them speak, you sense their empathy. Other guests are dedicated leaders who seldom speak publicly about their work. All have accepted Gil's invitation to this platform to share their learning, and you have the special opportunity to meet them.
The agenda:
- Rick Ross: "People are not 'resources'"
- Johanna Rothman: "Focus keep you going" — Listen to an excerpt (duration: 4m 38s)
- Ellen Gottesdiener and Mary Gorman: "Nurture the joy of delivering value" — Listen to an excerpt (duration: 5m 11s)
- Ken Collier: "Always take small, safe, feedback-rich steps"
- Doc List: "A standardized environment is for standard people"
- Caren DesBrisay: "Collaboration requires a suitable social environment"
- Christopher Avery: "High performance teams require investment" — Listen to an excerpt (duration: 4m 05s)
- Eugene Kiel: "Manage less, lead more" — Listen to an excerpt (duration: 4m 43s)
- David Spann: "Being a collaborative leader"
- Bob Schatz: "Human conduct trumps 'best practices'"
You'll be happy you listened to these folks, because you'll …
- Identify and solve problems better, since every problem is a people problem
- Be able to increase productivity (process improvements will only get you so far)
- Shorten the journey to success with Agile, which is neither short nor easy
- Discover ways to reduce your stress and workload (for real)
This virtual training costs about the same as an audiobook. Click here to buy this 10-hour virtual training for only ~US$14 or here to have the transcripts as well for a total of US$19 (in which case you also receive a 50% discount coupon for Gil's other virtual training, Packing List for Your Agile Journey).
This series of interviews was broadcast live between May 15 and 23, 2013. Here are a few of the rave testimonials we've received:
"The set of interviews approach the subject of Individuals and Interactions over Process and Tools from many angles, with some theoretical discussion, but with the majority of the conversation concentrating on practical aspects of working in and with Agile teams. There are so many takeaways — stories, ideas and practical information — that you are likely to discover new gems of valuable information even after listening many times over. This important resource is essential listening for any organisation looking to embark on an Agile journey, as well as for team members and Agile Coaches who want to learn how to be better at their job." — Lynn Shrewsbury, Agile Coach at Solnet Solutions, Brisbane, Australia
"Gil assembled a who's who of speakers to focus on Individuals and Interactions in agile software development and what a series it was!!! Many individuals and teams focus on the tools used in agile development but forget the critical interactions that need to happen to be successful. The recordings and transcripts are irreplaceable and I will refer to them as much as I do with my books and other online tools. My favorite session was David Spann's talk on 'Being a Collaborative Leader,' worth the price right there." — Derek Mahlitz, Agile Coach and ScrumMaster at Tyler Technologies, Albany, NY
"Gil assembled a remarkable group of experts, in a highly accessible format, to talk about Agile Leadership. Listening to the secrets of executive leadership was a rare opportunity. There were valuable insights applicable to anyone, at any level. Superb work, Gil." — Maradene Wills, Innovative Catalyst – Change Angel – Technology Solver, Toronto, Canada

Lal Masjid: Crisis PointMusharraf was supposed to attend a meeting with Karzai to allegedly sort out the border issues. It was supposed to a major photo op.
Musharraf cancelled his trip and no public reasons were given.
Reports are now emerging of a declaration of an emergency in Pakistan.
It is unclear what emergency powers he will assume (i.e. ones he does not already have).
I am sure you have all heard the politicians shouting asking him to resign and I am sure you have seen that the Lahore High Court Bar Association "elected" world famous nuclear smuggler, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan as the president in its "referendum".
No seriously people, jokes apart, it appears that the discontent inside the Army has reached a crisis point.
A declaration of an emergency at this point only means one of the following:
1) A revolt within the SSG praetorians against Musharraf. It is possible that the SSG revolts against Musharraf to restore the Ulema's faith in the Pakistan Army as an institution.
2) Extreme dissatisfaction within the Commanders, this is the sort of thing that happens a planned "reshuffle" becomes a game of musical chairs which someone (who is sufficiently powerful and close to Islamabad) does not want to play.
3) Someone is messing around with the nuclear command and control chain. This might happen if someone in the US got a little to serious about that misguided threat to invade Pakistan.

Wow, when you've lost the New York Times…
I'm actually hopeful for Snowden now. The tide of public opinion is swaying even more strongly in his favor and the government may find itself having to pardon him just to save face.
On the other hand, lots of top government officials are still pissed over what he's doing, and will twist arms to make sure Snowden never sees American soil again. You see this with retired officials that are allowed to speak their mind and generally wish he would die as painfully as possible right now.
If Congress can retroactively immunize AT&T and friends, we can do the same for Edward Snowden.
I don't know, this would be awfully like treating people like juristic persons.
I support him. He is a real patriot.
Nope, Snowden is not a billion dollar company nor is he a campaign donor. Totally different thing. He is a mere human citizen, not worthy of any consideration unless somehow the government is forced to toss the peons a bone.
I'm actually astonished that he's still alive. I suspect that there's an inter-agency rivalry going on between the NSA and whatever agency would be responsible for liquidating him.
He's too high profile to just kill off right now. That would make him a martyr and further cement his place in history. Chelsea Manning probably has more to worry about.
It's a crack in the armor. The elite, moneyed interests who use fear and misinformation as a means to coerce complacency are no longer quite as united as they once were, it seems. To see the NYT standing up with integrity is appealing, and because they're kind-of-insiders, their voice is going to carry far. Good. Good for them. Good for us. Good for Snowden.
I dunno, if I was someone in charge at one of the TLAs, I'd be tripping over myself making sure that Snowden remained safe and well until/unless he could be brought back for trial. Getting assassinated is about the only thing that could give him more credibility than he already has, and it wouldn't do a thing to stop the revelations.
As much as I'm favorably surprised that the NYT would stop licking boots for a moment, 'clemency' is a backhanded insult.
You extend 'clemency' to a guilty party who deserves punishment, out of mercy or consideration on your part. Snowden doesn't deserve 'clemency'. He'd have to be a wrongdoer to do so. What the NYT practically says; but apparently isn't willing to admit, is that he isn't 'a guilty guy; but he did some useful stuff so let's cut him some slack'. He's a hero and a patriot. The hell with 'clemency'(Who would they find to pretend to represent 'rule of law' sufficiently convincingly to pardon him with a straight face, anyway?).
He deserves a triumphant reception and the downfall of his enemies, not 'oh, we'll give him the lenient criminal workover…'
In short order someone will counterpoint with the suggestion of a hanging, and Obama will pretend the NYT piece never happened.
It may be that the elite moneyed interests have only just become aware that the NSA is listening to their cell phone calls and emails as well.
This ^
They've offended elites too. That's why this is different than other whistle blowing incidents.
I hope so. Plus they seem to wake up to the fact that it hurts business (Well, some of them. Certainly cloud based services.)
Snowden has said that he's given the full volume of documents to several people who, upon any news of his demise, are able to unlock and distribute the full volume of the leaks. The US government does not want those out there.
Snowden is a freaking champion and I want to high-five the guy with every new revelation. He's no fool.
A plea bargain - what a fine idea! No prosecutor has ever reneged on one of those.
He's won. Glad to have one for our side after the terrorists seemed to be winning the war on American values.

Baby safe jewellery, designed for mums
Babies love to grab and chew, making wearing normal jewellery impractical. I design and make beautifully stylish baby safe jewellery, all hand made by me in Greenwich, SE London. Many pieces can be personalised with a name, date or message (see custom order page).
My range is designed to bridge the gap between style and practicality for mums who don't want to stop wearing jewellery just because they've got a baby. It will withstand teething and act as a distraction when nursing. I've also found the necklaces are brilliant beyond the baby stage as they are incredibly robust and can survive a mauling from a toddler!
All my jewellery is made of materials safe for baby to chew on, but some ranges are better for teething than others, hence my description of my work as "baby safe jewellery" rather than specifically "teething jewellery" - please read collection descriptions below for further information.
Follow me on social media (links below) for updates on the latest designs and limited edition pieces.
My necklaces are perfect as Mother's Day or baby shower gifts, or just for yourself!

Aqua Pets.
"Schizophrenia is one of the leading causes of death among start-ups," explained Jimenez, who also pointed to Android's Live Wallpaper technology and personalization features as reasons why their company embraced the platform.
AndroidApps.com: Bionic Panda Games just released its first title, Aqua Pets. What should players expect when they download the app?
Mike Jimenez: Aqua Pets is more like a toy than it is a game. It adds some light-hearted fun to your most important accessory – your mobile phone. It turns your phone into a customizable aquarium that grows the more you interact with it. It's currently categorized as a "casual game" but if the Android marketplace had a "toy" category we'd so be there.
AA: What was your motivation in launching your first app on Android? What advantages does this platform bring you?
MJ: Aside from the attractive business-level characteristics of the platform, we felt that Android gives us interesting technology to help differentiate our products. Above all, the Live Wallpaper technology of Android 2.1 was perfect for the type of experiences we wanted to create.
Charles Hudson: In addition, we both have been Android users for some time and were frustrated that nobody was building the kinds of games and entertainment experiences we wanted. We wanted to build the kinds of toys and entertainment experiences we thought would delight and engage Android users and there are a lot of things in Android that allow us to do that. Specifically, we like the fact that Android is open and gives us access to a lot of user information on the device that we can use to make more interesting, personalized experiences. The latest generation of Android phones have loads of memory, fast processors, GPS capabilities, and the ability to run lots of interesting things such as live wallpapers. We have some plans to utilize all of these capabilities in some pretty interesting ways.
AA: Do you plan to expand into iOS or other platforms?
MJ: Not immediately. Schizophrenia is one of the leading causes of death among start-ups. Since we like to take full advantage of the platform when we design our toys, moving them over to another platform is more than just a "porting" effort. However, once we reach significant scale it may be interesting to see what we can do outside of Android.
CH: One other thing we've learned is that by focusing exclusively on Android, we're able to take advantage of all of the cool platform features that are Android only. If you're working on cross-platform or multi-platform games, there can be a tendency to focus on the least common denominator across platforms to make sure the game works everywhere. This can lead to games that don't really shine on any platform and only feel good enough when you put them in the hands of users. We think there are a lot of really interesting things you can do that only work on Android and it's our intention to utilize those features to make great products for users. Given the growth rate of Android handsets in the market and the continuing maturity of the OS, we think we can build a great company without the need to migrate to iOS.
AA: With minimal marketing, Aqua Pets is getting considerable traction and is well received by users. How are consumers finding your game?
MJ: There's evidence that we've made some strides with the elementary school kids. A 10-year-old has written me recently saying that she loves the game and that she wishes she could be the one running Bionic Panda Games. Is that the thought process of kids these days? At that age I was more worried about making it home in time to watch the next episode of the Transformers cartoon.
CH: To date, we've really been taking a modest approach to marketing. Our launch strategy was to upload our game to the Android Market and see how much organic discovery we could get with that approach. So far, that has been working pretty well for us. Mike and I also spent almost two years working on Facebook games, so we're also beginning to integrate some social mechanics into our games. We just added in a new feature that allows users to share pictures of their tanks with their friends on Facebook and that's showing really good uptick among our users.
AA: As a Venture Partner with San Francisco-based SoftTech VC, what inspired you to get into the mobile gaming space in general and this company in particular?
CH: Mike and I worked together at Serious Business, a social games company that was acquired by Zynga in February of last year. After the acquisition, I knew that I wanted to do a start-up and I knew that I wanted to work with Mike. I have long been intrigued by mobile and when I really believe that there is a great opportunity to combine what we learned from building games on top of Facebook with the emerging wold of mobile games. I believe there is a huge opportunity on these mobile platforms and that a number of really enduring companies are going to be created – success is going to require blending a bunch of different skill sets and we're assembling those individuals at Bionic Panda Games.
On the investing side, I have known my partner at SoftTech, Jeff Clavier, for almost a decade and I have longer term plans to return to the world of venture capital investing once my startup career is over. Jeff and I spent a lot of time talking about how a model where I am a General Partner at SoftTech and the CEO of Bionic Panda Games might work. I talked to Mike and Jeff both about how I would be able to both invest for SoftTech and work with Mike on Bionic Panda Games and I think we have a model that works for the three of us. Being able to sit on both the investor side and the entrepreneur side of the table has been really fun and interesting. I think the synergy makes me better at both jobs.
AA: Three years ago, this market opportunity did not exist for entrepreneurs like yourselves. Is it possible to anticipate what the landscape will look like one year from now? Three years from now?
MJ: I'm not sure what the short/near-term landscape would look like. Ultimately, I see a world where most of our every day use-cases (payment, physical access, entertainment, etc.) are addressed in some form or another by these little pocket computers we today call phones.
CH: One of the great things about mobile entertainment, and games specifically, is that the business models that work today allow small groups of individuals to bootstrap their way to profitable and in some cases large businesses. The costs for getting started are so low – this is still a fairly new development in the world of tech entrepreneurship.
In most other segments of games, we have seen a common pattern. There's a burst of activity with the launch of a new platform, leaders emerge, and those leaders then begin to consolidate some of the most promising teams on these new platforms. I believe we are still in the early days of this discovery period but that we will move into a period where there are some leaders with the financial resources and know how to begin consolidating the space. When that happens and who does the consolidating is hard to know.
Finally, I think people are underestimating how rapidly Android is evolving. Many of the challenges on the platform are being addressed and we see it becoming an even more interesting platform more quickly than many others might predict. The issues around payment, fragmentation, and distribution will get fixed in short order.

Blizzard has announced that the graphic novel, Overwatch: First Strike, has been canceled.
Lead writer Michael Chu announced its cancelation in a post on the official Overwatch forums, saying, "While we are grateful to the team for the fantastic work they put into it, we've ultimately decided to take the story in a different direction."
Chu explained that the idea for the comic originated when the game was early on in development, and was conceived out of a desire to share the story of Overwatch's founding during the Omnic Crisis.
Since then, however, the universe of Overwatch has grown and evolved. "While the core of this story remains, we have changed and expanded upon how we see the events that took place during the first days of Overwatch," he explained. That said, Chu assured fans that Blizzard is well aware of fans' desire to learn more about this story, and still plans to tell it at some point in the future.
For more on the characters and world of Blizzard's hero-based shooter, which just recently added Sombra to the ranks, check out IGN's Overwatch wiki.

A QUARTER of the £200m meant for new schools in north Kirklees could be diverted to Huddersfield, a top councillor has claimed.
Clr Robert Light, who leads the opposition Conservatives on Kirklees Council, said yesterday that the new Labour-Lib Dem coalition could move Government investment earmarked for north Kirklees to pay for a new school in Huddersfield instead.
He said: "It has taken just two weeks for this Huddersfield-dominated cabinet to start deviating investment from north Kirklees."
Last month the Examiner reported that Catholic authorities were considering opening a new high school in Rastrick and closing All Saints Catholic College in Bradley and St Catherine's in Halifax.
Kirklees could then move Fartown High School to the All Saints site.
But Clr Light said this would mean diverting some of the £200m of Government cash earmarked for schools in north Kirklees.
He said: "Bearing in mind a brand new Fartown school would cost around £30m, and Kirklees would have to contribute around £15m for the new school in Rastrick, plus the cost of the land purchase, the overall cost could spiral towards £50m.
"These plans are clearly to the detriment of the residents, parents and future pupils in North Kirklees and cannot be allowed to happen. Is this Huddersfield-dominated Labour's commitment to education north of Cooper Bridge?"
Clr Light said the council's new schools boss Clr Ken Smith was trying to divert funds to his own Ashbrow ward.
He said: "It is quite clear that Clr Smith is seeking to build new schools for his ward using funds that should be allocated for Dewsbury, Batley and the Spen Valley."
But Clr Smith rubbished the claim yesterday saying funding for north and south Kirklees was separate. The Labour councillor said: "It's absolutely untrue. At the moment we're drawing up plans for the £196m set aside by the Government for schools in north Kirklees."
Last week the Labour-Lib Dem cabinet took the first step in applying for £200m for schools in Huddersfield, Colne Valley, Holme Valley and Denby Dale. A detailed plan is expected later this year.
Clr Smith said: "There are initial discussions about schools in Huddersfield and the Valleys but we want to get north Kirklees done first."
The future of schools in Kirklees has been a long-running political issue. Last September, the north-Kirklees-dominated Conservative Cabinet then ruling announced plans to spend £200m of Building Schools for the Future cash in north Kirklees.
The controversial proposal involved closing 11 schools, including Castle Hall in Mirfield. Opposition councillors also criticised the Tory plan for including a new high school in Birkenshaw, in Clr Light's ward.
On January 21, Labour and the Lib Dems toppled the Conservative Cabinet over the issue.
Meanwhile, Kirklees has pledged nearly £1m to help fund a new sixth-form block. The Cabinet agreed to commit up to £935,000 to help pay for the building at Heckmondwike Grammar School.

Learning Units (Hours)
John Frank Pietranski, P.E., Ph.D.
This course provides the student with application equations that allow for calculating the transient time required for heating and cooling of liquid batches from an initial temperature to a final temperature. The course will derive the application equations from a differential heat balance. Several simplifying assumptions are utilized which result in an exact solution of the integrated form of the differential heat balance equation. Following the derivation of the application equations, two industrial examples will be given. The first is a steam supplied jacketed vessel used to heat an agitated batch of cold water, and, the second, a refrigerant submerged coil in a tank used to cool an agitated batch of hot water. This course includes a True-False quiz at the end.

Email Jim at firstname.lastname@example.com
Forty-six years ago, the fall of 1973, we were in the throes of the first energy crisis. Where I lived, you could buy gasoline on even or odd days depending on the last number of your car license plate. Gas lines were out the street and down the block when a gas station received a shipment. You did not make a long-distance automobile trip that would extend into the night because the gas stations on the unfinished interstate system closed at dark.
In industry, we were making plans to find alternative fuels and alternative boilers or other energy equipment as necessary to keep running.
Today, our energy issues are more finessed. Fossil fuels are in abundance due to modern exploration techniques. The issue today is what is your energy source? Is it clean, renewable, non-polluting?
I'll submit that while the availability has increased, the fuss over energy in the popular press has not subsided, in fact it has probably gotten worse.
Energy has been an ongoing theme throughout history. At one time, energy was provided by water and wind as well as by animals and humans. Those in authority, those with the resources, could command the energy sources necessary to do their daily tasks as well as provide a degree of comfort.
Onlypulpandpaperjobs.com has hundreds of registrants! [12.12.19]
I spend some time with a very old-fashioned Mennonite sect each year. I also spend a week each year in the mountains of western Guatemala among the indigenous people. These immersion experiences are very interesting.
In both cases, energy is a dear commodity. For the women of the Guatemalan Highlands, finding a modern, efficient cooking stove means they cut the amount of time they spend in the forest each day looking for cooking fuel from four hours to 24 minutes, a huge improvement in labor savings, not to mention their lives in general.
On the Mennonite farms, one learns to husband and protect their energy. Baths, on Saturday night, means each person gets one five-gallon bucket of warm water, a far cry from the show water usage in the city.
In our pulp and paper mills, we still waste tremendous amounts of energy. For, in reality, compared to other things we spend money on to operate our mills, energy is still a relatively cheap commodity.
Be clear--I largely look at energy on a cost avoidance basis. Yes, we all want clean air (low emissions) but let's not go crazy following ideas that are not well proven scientifically (don't send me surveys on what scientists believe about energy consumption--people's opinions are not science).
Nevertheless, when looking at places where energy is dear makes me realize we still have a long way to go to make our industry as efficient as possible. People who live in the first world cannot even grasp what those who live with less abundance do to survive and thrive in their world. A trip to such places can be quite informative.
For safety this week, please make sure everyone is wearing protection when around energy sources of any kind, that everyone is well trained to handle the hazards in our pulp and paper mills.
Be safe and we will talk next week.

Motion to implement waiting period likely to fail
There is a motion in Parliament to implement a time quarantine for politicians and government workers before they can enter into the private sector, but the proposal will likely fail, reports Swedish Radio. It is not the first time this type of motion has been up for a vote.
"The motion will probably be voted down again. But I'm still not sure if the laws we have in place today are not enough to stop the problem," says Per Bill, a conservative Moderate politician who sits on the Constitutional Committee in Parliament.
Peter Eriksson, the chairman of the committee and a Green party member, wrote the proposal.
The motion would investigate how a time quarantine could be implemented, or how to hinder the leaking of information that is kept secret in order to protect the public.
A majority agree with Per Bill that when you weigh the pros and cons of this issue, that the negative consequences outweigh the positive.
"Partly we have a problem with people not knowing their boundaries, partly we get a poorer movement between politicians and the private sector, and that's what we want," says Bill. "We want this to work."
Peter Eriksson is on Easter holiday and will not comment Saturday. Per Bill will not make a comment on the potential consequences of having lots of movement between the public and private sectors.

April 5, 2010Architecture, Construction and Engineering Mentor Program Introduces Students to Design Careers in Cumberland County.
Students from six area high schools have proposed a new athletic facility for the former Vineland Speedway site as part of a unique mentoring program they have been participating in since September.
The student plan calls for a new athletic complex for both Cumberland County College and the community, including a major enclosed field house, tennis courts, basketball courts, two baseball fields and two softball fields, several soccer fields, and parking for 1,000 cars. Twenty-five students have participated in the strictly academic exercise through the Cumberland County Chapter of the Architecture, Construction and Engineering (ACE) Mentor Program of NJ.
The students meet every two weeks after school at Cumberland County College with local architects, contractors and engineers serving as their mentors and instructors. Participating high schools include: Bridgeton High School, Cumberland Regional High School, Vineland High School, Millville High School, Sacred Heart High School and St. Augustine Prep. In designing the plan for the 40-acre site, the students met with the athletic director of the college and several local high schools to discuss the needs of the community.
"We hope the students get a better understanding of the careers that deal with the building and construction environment," said Vineland Architect Lawrence Merighi of Manders Merighi Portadin Farrell Architects. "We try to help them understand project programming, help them develop their own creativity and learn to work in teams. We have at least a half dozen students that really do show great promise and have already been accepted into collegiate architecture or engineering programs."
Student mentors also include architects Bruce D. Turner and David Manders; intern architect Steven Graham; engineers Beth Grasso and David Battistini of Pennoni Associates, and Matt Marcello of the Marcello Engineering Group; and contractors Andrew Fabbri of Fabbri Builders, and Steve Stein of Main Street Building and Development.
The ACE Mentor Program helps hundreds of high school students throughout New Jersey and New York get started in a building design career through a 15-week training program and college scholarships. ACE students are eligible for college scholarships, visit job sites, attend presentations, receive apprenticeship training classes, and conduct mock interviews. Each ACE student participates in a group or chapter that creates unique design projects based on their own interests. The training program culminates in annual regional group presentations by each group of students.
The ACE Cumberland team is in its sixth year and students received presentations on careers in structural engineering, construction management, architecture, civil engineering and historic preservation. During two "hands-on" projects, the students learned how to construct a bridge using K-NEX construction sets and to build a "Spaghetti and Gumdrop" tower. Students also went on a field trip to the construction site of a new cancer treatment facility for South Jersey Regional Health System and a second field trip is planned for Rowan University's College of Engineering.
The ACE New Jersey program is an affiliate of a national non-profit organization that provides mentoring opportunities to about 13,000 high school students considering careers in architecture, construction, engineering, or related fields. ACE mentors are charged with providing mentoring and scholarship opportunities for the students as they move through their secondary education and support them in making decisions about their future.

Washington. Flanked by border agents who are going without paychecks during a government shutdown, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to use emergency powers to bypass Congress to pay for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump flew to the Texas border with Mexico to try to bolster his case for the border wall as a partial U.S. government shutdown tied to the issue stretched into its 20th day with no sign of new talks to resolve the impasse.
"We can declare a national emergency. We shouldn't have to," Trump told reporters. "This is just common sense."
Such a step would likely prompt an immediate legal challenge over constitutional powers from congressional Democrats – a challenge Trump said he would win.
The Republican president is adamant that a government funding bill to end the shutdown include $5.7 billion (4.5 billion pounds) for a border barrier – his signature campaign promise. Congressional Democrats oppose that.
The standoff has left a quarter of the federal government closed down and hundreds of thousands of federal employees without pay.
A day after he stormed out of a meeting with Democratic leaders, Trump attacked them for refusing his demand, calling them harder to deal with than China, a rival power.
"I find China, frankly, in many ways to be far more honourable than Crying Chuck and Nancy. I really do," Trump said, referring to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer.
The House passed two bills to fund the departments of transportation, housing and agriculture – each drawing a few more Republican votes than a similar effort on Wednesday to reopen the Treasury Department and other agencies.
The White House has said Trump would veto the bills if they made it to his desk.
Trump cancelled plans to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which is scheduled to start on Jan. 22, signalling he was prepared for the shutdown to drag on.
"I have never been more depressed about moving forward than right now. I just don't see a pathway forward," said Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, who said it was time for Trump to declare a national emergency.

So, you're sitting inside your kitchen right now and taking a look at the exact same cabinets as well as fixtures which probably included the home. Whether you've lived in your house for 10, twenty, or maybe more years, you realize your preferences have changed with time. What made an appearance fashionable when the house was constructed may appear completed out-of-date now, and regrettably too worn to become considered classic. When you enter into your kitchen you need to be influenced to prepare and amuse, and appreciate wonderful meals in your own home. A remodel from the space is a good idea, but is actually this a good undertaking you need to do your self, or in the event you hire the contractor?
Do-it-yourself projects, a few may dispute, can help you save money initial so far as labor will go. However, if you're not especially skilled in do it yourself – along with a kitchen remodel takes a fair quantity of work – many times the enhancements you help to make now require more enhancement should things break up. If you intend on an entire overhaul of the kitchen, replacing particular appliances along with cabinets as well as counters, you might want to consider getting a expert to measure the job.
Why employ a redesigning service for the kitchen work? There are numerous reasons:
1) The contractor can counsel you of methods to make your own kitchen much more energy effective. You might not be aware associated with green improvements in do it yourself, and your own contractor may point you within the right path. Energy effective appliances and installing of eco-friendly home windows can bring about the lowering of the utility expenses, saving a person money over time.
2) The contractor might be able to get particular counters, cupboards, and additional fixtures in a better cost than should you tried to purchase the materials by yourself. Contractors use specific manufacturers and know where you'll get their materials. You might be limited, as well, to places where one can get the actual decor you would like.
3) Hiring an excellent contractor to take care of your house renovation opens up your time and effort. Depending about the extent from the work, this is often a time eating process, and should you work you might find you need to set redesigning aside. This particular, of program, can depart your kitchen area useless with regard to days or even weeks. A contractor can function throughout the day and help get a kitchen functional when it's needed.
Employing an established, bonded building company to take care of your kitchen area remodeling will save you money over time. Consider buying a great fit in order to beautify as well as modernize your house.
