The Tetrahedron Culture Instrument ("TCI")
A Powerful Tool to Measure and Assess the Culture of Your Organization
The TCI is the first instrument of its kind to give a full, accurate three dimensional view of an organization's culture. This tool helps you attract and retain talent, become more innovative and ultimately more competitive.
The TCI is designed to help organizations:
- Understand what you do well and strengthen areas that need improvement
- Identify and address problems that are hindering productivity and engagement
- Build a positive culture that can adapt quickly
Culture is Three Dimensional.
There are no opposites. Each piece affects the other. The idea of the T.C.I. is to understand how each element of culture interacts with the other in order to build a strong structure.
What are the 4 triangles of culture and how do they interact?
The four triangles are :
- Leadership,
- Process,
- Attitudes and Behaviors,
- Rewards/Punishments.
Each element affects the others and by measuring the whole you can get a complete snapshot of your organization I
Is your organization a green tetrahedron?
It's all about culture. Period. It doesn't matter whether you are talking about leadership, innovation, diversity, change-management, training, quality improvement/assurance, engagement, sales, delivery, customer service, communication, etc., it is all about culture. Look out the window any evening. There go 90% of your assets leaving the building. Are they working in an environment that is creating top performers?

कुछ सालों बाद पूरा शहर उड़ जाया करेगा हवाई जहाज़ की तरह यकीन ना हो तो देखिये
Every 100 years from today, everyone will have their own airplanes. Foreign trips will be a matter of two or three times a week because supersonic airplanes will be running at that time
At that time there will be no runway for the plane to fly. Then the airplane will fly straight into the airports, streets or the roof of your house and take you to your destination. Then the airplane will be flying at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers faster than the Earth, many times faster
Scientists around the world are working in this direction. At the moment, scientists are thinking of ways to make cheap air travel and it will be cheap when the fuel economy is cheap. Now the search for fuel is in progress, which does not make noise or pollution and can be easily used. But in the coming 100 years air travel will be as easy as walking in the car. Airplanes will run supersonic and they can take 10 times more passengers than today.

We are not like many run-of-the-mill land investment companies – offering you huge returns on useless pieces of land around the UK.
We do not buy land that will have no value and just re-sell it on. We look at land investments where we will build property for you and will make a return on the sale of the property.
Unlike many land investment companies, we offer a guaranteed 10% return yield per annum. This is an offer that no other investment company can offer – simply due to the fact we spend most of our research time looking at land that will return at least 10% back to our customers.
Over the past 2 years we have managed to secure between 10 and 22% return yield on properties across Yorkshire. Our commitment to our customers is to provide the best possible land investment with the greatest return.
Affordability has plummeted – in the last 40 years the average house price to salary ratio has almost doubled; the price of the average home purchased is now almost 7x the average annual salary of the buyer.
Living in the UK and aspiring to live a reasonable lifestyle can sometimes not be achieved with traditional home-buying. Often, buying land and building property to your specification can be the only way to get the house you always dreamed of. Home-building is on the rise in the UK with
If you are interested in buying land for building investment, please contact us as soon as possible. We are always looking at potential land investment opportunities and will tailor your proposal with our portfolio.
Once we have established your land development a formal agreement between Structured Acquisitions and you (the land investor) will be drawn up by our solicitors. A payment schedule will be established and building work will commence.Contact Us Today
Custom build homes are those homes built with the assistance of a developer such as Structured Acquisitions. We make this process as hassle-free as possible as we are not only experts in land investment, but also in construction. This unique position of our firm has allowed us to give our customers the best of both areas of property investment.
We are an integrated Custom Build Developer – sourcing a site for you as well as building and securing contracts and maintaining the property throughout the build process as well as legal issues. This decreases the risk for our property buyers and allows you to have a say in the design work and leave the heavy-lifting to us.


text: Free Credit Repair – Why Credit Repair In Australia Can Help January 30, 2020 Credit repair in Australia is more difficult than in the United States because there are fewer credit rating agencies in the United States. They control the lending process for the country. The American Credit Association (ACA) makes sure that the nationwide credit rating system is functioning properly. Therefore, Australia can only enjoy www.youtube.com/channel/UCzVz7VvVraUh6QzOo9DUpVg in Australia. However, there are many cases when the public sector and the private sector to act in synergy to resolve credit problems in the country. A number of people are aware of this type of situation which they do not want to involve themselves into. If you want to give credit repair a try, it is best to focus on the private sector. This is because the private sector is more likely to be open to help the common person. In addition, the private sector does not usually make use of credit protection measures such as debt settlement or debt negotiation. Credit repair in Australia has a particular problem regarding the fact that Australia has seen a drop in the number of people who get personal loans. Many homeowners have had to cut down on their spending in order to pay back their mortgages. As a result, the government is in the position to offer huge incentives to certain industries. Government programs like the HECS/HELP scheme can provide you with low interest rates and financial assistance for some other purposes. These are obviously targeted at reducing credit card debt, although other forms of debt also fall under this category. It is advisable to get a good job to ensure that you get a good income from your employer. You will need to be a citizen of the United States to qualify for federal government programs such as FHA and VA loans. You also have to pay taxes, but not as much as you would if you were an American citizen. You will also find that your interest rates are lower in Australia than they are in the United States. In order to reduce your interest rate, the government offers small loans or home equity loans. When you are in need of a quick fix, this is usually the first option to choose. There are many places that will offer credit repair in Australia. There are services that will assess your situation and suggest you a plan of action. You may then go on to have a discussion with your bank about the credit problems that you currently have. There are a few things that you should know about credit repair in Australia. The first is that the government will not give out free money to those who have credit problems. If you wish to apply for a loan, you will need to pay for it. If you wish to get a loan, credit repair can actually be a great deal. If you already have a decent amount of equity in your home, you can probably get a low rate on a loan. You should ask around before you decide on one, but there is no reason why you can't get a very good loan without having to pay for it. Credit repair in Australia has been making a comeback recently. The general belief is that since the government is giving away loans and other financial assistance, people will automatically get out of debt. It is only a matter of time before the whole country recovers from the problem of bad credit.

Origins of Stoneglass Industries
What constitutes Stoneglass Industries today originated as a seed of thought for Georges Sara in 1989 (a Senior Dental Technician in the employ of Westmead Dental University Hospital) during a seminar held by Professor Urns Brodbeck on Metal Free Ceramics (IPS Empress).
Whilst attending the seminar Georges was brought to a rare moment in time that defines past and present, and opens avenues for future pathways that cry out to be acted upon. A 'lightning bolt' of thought embedded itself into this industrious Senior Dental Technician and ultimately transformed his career path and direction into what is known today as Stoneglass Industries.
The stimulus for this transformation was Professor Brodbeck's discussion on current trends in ceramic:
Japanese industries were developing and making ceramic engines… [the implications were enormous. If the Japanese could make ceramic engines…] that could replace metal free ceramics…
And so the seeds of thought and innovation began to develop.
2001 to 2009
Stoneglass Industries is an entirely Australian owned and operated company. Stoneglass® has created an innovative ceramic production system specializing in dental cosmetics. Stoneglass brings together a diverse team of professionals including: dentists, dental technicians, medical engineers, software engineers, ceramic specialists and machining experts.
We have consistently used the highest quality expertise available both within Australia and overseas and consequently our motivated team has produced a state-of-the-art industrial scanning and milling facility for the dental industry. The research and development for this facility commenced in 2001 with the main aim to develop a dental milling system that is flexible enough to give the consumer a choice.
Since the Australian market launch of Glacier Technologies Australia in 2006 Stoneglass has concentrated on and continues to concentrate on developing their product range. Over the last 15 years Stoneglass has successfully developed customization of Zirconia ,Non Precious alloy and Titanium Abutments in over 30 implant systems.
These CAM developments has moved Stoneglass to start its own CAD developments, focusing on a full 360 degree work flow from Clinical protocols , technical protocols , prosthetic manufacturing that are all connected by a cloud based system for total communication protocols.
2009 to Present
In 2009 Stoneglass was contracted to develop the automation of the LVI orthotic. This resulted with Stoneglass first piece of design software (CAD) with the full workflow application of , material, manufacturing the final Orthotic by milling process,(CAM).This was completed by the middle of 2010.
This exciting achievement lead to the development of the first digital occlusal splint in the world, proudly branded 'DentaBite".
During the development of the DentaBite splint, Stoneglass engineers recognized that there is a core principle that need to be understood when developing prosthetics that are going to live in the oral anatomy, "occlusion".
This lead to the development of the software suite called BiiBCAD. Totally focusing on occlusion and tooth position, from their implant full arch reconstruction is actually virtually design to support the core principle of occlusion.
From this, ProsCAD was born for complete and partial dentures which lead to the creation of the single software solution suite Prosthetic Design Centre – PDC.
We believe at Stoneglass that we are the only dental laboratory facility in the world that designs and manufactures its own dental prosthetics from software and processes developed 100% in-house. Everything that is fabricated and designed is all based on digital/virtual technology, but we still believe that analog/traditional technology has a great part to play in all prosthetic design and manufacture. That is, we rely on proven analog/traditional technology to Quality Control our digital process for design and manufacture of prosthetic parts.

Startup Funding Sources
Friends and Family Funding
Sales ARE OPEN for My New Book!
"Angel Investors to Venture Capital – 10 Slides to Startup Funding Success – Entrepreneurs Guide to Startup Fundraising"
❏ Today I'm speaking on Startup Funding Sources – Friends and Family Funding (Link). There are pros and cons to taking monies from your friends and family. In short, it is a path that can lead to a lot of heartbreak. One must take care before pursuing this path.
One of my responsibilities as an Executive Coach is helping founders advance from the Idea Stage to the Build Stage. Most early-stage businesses, what we call the Build Stage business, need monies to Build their Idea into a business. Most of us start by using our checking and savings accounts, along with our credit cards. However, we all have our financial limits. When we hit that "financial wall," we need to find outside funding. When this happens, we often think of Friends and Family Startup Venture Financing.
Startup Funding Sources – Pros of Friends and Family Funding
When we're young, we often think of the "Bank of Mom and Dad" when we get into financial difficulty. However, once we reach adulthood, that "banking window" usually "closes." As adults, we are expected to "fend for ourselves"s. Fending for ourselves is how it should be for us as adults. However, when we start a business, we are creating an "investment opportunity" and not "asking for a handout."
If you have started a business, you've been talking to your friends and family about it. You most likely started when it was still in the "Idea Stage." You talked about the business idea, the business opportunity, the marketing strategy. For consumer-facing ideas, hopefully, they said: "Gosh, I love to be able to buy that!". They may have even said "If there's a way I can help, reach out to me."
Investing in your business during the "Build Stage" of the business is a great way to help you. It also gives them a chance to make a financial investment "on the ground floor." Investment dollars in the form of a "Loan" with the ability to convert the loan into company stock is known as a Convertible Note (Link). You could also just sell them Stock (Link) in your company in return for their "investment." Neither case is a "gift" of monies from the Bank of Mom and Dad. It is a legitimate financial investment.
If you do well, then your Friends and Family, at a minimum, get back all their "invested money plus interest." If they converted the loan to equity (stock) or bought stock directly, then they get back all their investment dollars plus a nice profit when your company sells.
Startup Funding Sources – Cons of Friends and Family Venture Financing
However, like any financial investment, that investment carries Financial Risk (Link). The "loan" or "equity" (Stock (Link)) that your Friends and Family invest in your company value could change – in a negative direction.
It often takes longer to get a company profitable than planned. If you have to raise more monies, the new lender may require that the prior lenders are Subordinate (Link) to the new loan. Subordination means that the new investor gets paid in full "before" the original "Friends and Family" investors get paid back.
Your company could "go bust." The majority of all new business fail in their first five years. The odds are that yours will be one that fails. The possibility of failure is why Friends and Family need to understand that they could "lose all of their investment." Ask them how they would feel about you if that happened. Don't take their money if they say "I'll hate your guts." Friends and family are irreplaceable. Don't let money invested in a business idea impact you for 50+ years.
Startup Funding Sources – What If My Company Fails?
In a study by Statistic Brain (Link), Startup Business Failure Rate by Industry, the failure rate of all U.S. companies after five years was over 50 percent and over 70 percent after ten years. (Feb 18, 2017).
Yep, business life is hard. Friends and Family monies are likely going to add some real psychological pressure to most founders. In some respects, that kind of pressure can help. Many will look at every dollar they spend much closer. Carefully watching the cash flow can help you from making poor choices. But, it can also result in "analysis paralysis" meaning you spend too much time making decisions.
Communication and honesty is the best policy. When things get tough, let your Friends and Family know earlier rather than later. Nobody likes surprises. If you've been openly sharing that "things aren't going to plan" regularly, then you announcing that "you're closing your doors" will be a disappointment, but not a "shock." You'll sometimes find that one of your investors might offer to step up and help in ways you didn't expect.
Startup Funding Sources – Planning For Success!
I firmly believe in "Planning for Success" as well as "Preparing for Failure." By doing both, I find a make a better business plan.
I recommend when you decide to consider taking money from Friends and Family, you start a monthly Newsletter. Publish it on the first of every month like clockwork. One page in length. Start with "A Message from the CEO" (You). Have a paragraph that talks about new clients. Include a paragraph that addresses revenue in broad terms. Have a paragraph that introduces new or planned employees. Include a paragraph on Marketing. That's all. Email it out to every investor, employee, newspaper, blog, customer list – everyone you know. A newsletter helps them feel like they know what's going on with their "investment." You'll also find a Newsletter is excellent for bringing in new clients and employees.
I hope this article, Startup Funding Sources – Friends and Family Funding, has educated you on the Pros and Cons of Friends and Family Venture Financing. If you decide to do Friends and Family Venture Financing, you will not be alone. Some 38% of company funding (Link) comes from Friends and Family Financing.

They originally faced a $63.5m bill over damages caused to a Primorsk port berth by the 111,000-dwt tanker Delta Pioneer (built 2004).
The Delta Pioneer struck a quay at Primorsk on 20 November 2016, damaging facilities owned by Russian state-owned Transneft, the world's largest oil pipeline company and owner of Port Primorsk.
The Delta Pioneer was being towed into the harbour when the incident happened.
An investigation by Rostransnadzor, a Russian authority in charge of transport safety, found shared responsibility for the incident between the tug, the tanker's master and its pilot.
According to the report, there was a "spontaneous, unauthorised recoil of the tow line from the tugboat to the tanker" during the latter's mooring.
The Delta Pioneer's pilot and master were also said to have disagreed about the "mode of operation of the main engine" as well as on the moment of anchoring.
Any potential fault on the part of the tug and pilot, however, did not count as a mitigating factor to the benefit of Delta Tankers.
Under Russian law, vessels are considered "heightened hazard sources". This effectively means that owners or operators are liable for damages caused by their ships, regardless of whether they are actually at fault over an incident or not.
"The injured party just needs to prove a causal link — like 'the vessel hit the berth and the berth got damaged because of the impact'," Krasnokutskiy told TradeWinds.
As a result, the commercial court of St Petersburg promptly issued on 23 November 2016 an arrest order for the Delta Pioneer on behalf of Transneft over a claim of $53m.
Three weeks later, the same court issued a second arrest over an additional $10.5m, on behalf of the terminal's operator Primorsk Trading Port, which Transneft partially owns.
Record claim
The claim ran up to a staggering sum of almost $63.5m (RUB 4bn) making this easily the biggest maritime claim in Russian history.
According to Krasnokutskiy, the commercial court of St Petersburg did not appoint independent experts to assess the damage but relied on a report submitted to Transneft by appraisers at Ernst & Young.
That report was based on abstract formulas that Russian justice often applies when estimating damages — usually book values of properties and past construction prices, multiplied by rather arbitrary co-efficients.
Judges rejected alternative assessments by Delta Tankers' team of specialists based on more practical gauges used in the West, such as materials, labour and transportation costs deemed necessary for repairs.
Under the alternative assessments, Delta's experts had come up with a much lower bill of between RUB 400m and RUB 1.5bn.
The gargantuan $63.5m bill sent alarm bells ringing from Athens to London, the seat of the ship's protection and indemnity club, West of England.
Senior officials of the club travelled personally to Moscow to help steer the case, helped by lawyer and negotiator Sergey Saveliev from Saveliev, Batanov and Partners (Moscow), as well as George Lambrou of London-based Thomas Cooper.
By the following spring, the West of England had provided letters of undertaking (LOUs) worth a total $28m to secure the ship's release.
In April 2017, the St Petersburg court accepted the LOUs and ordered the Delta Pioneer be released.
The decision was posted online late on 24 April, on a federal state online database for judgments.
The next morning, Delta Tankers' lawyers obtained six certified hard copies of the judgment from the court itself.
But then, strange things started happening. In the afternoon of 25 April, the decision to lift the arrests disappeared from the federal database.
An official hard copy of the decision issued a couple of days later was diametrically opposed to the one that had briefly seen the light of day.
The same judge who had originally accepted the LOUs was now refusing to do so.
EU sanctions
Local media press reports said the new decision was citing European Union sanctions against Russian companies that could prevent Transneft from receiving insurance payments from abroad.
When Delta Tankers' lawyers asked senior court officials to explain the about-turn, they were told that the first ruling that had lifted the arrest was erroneous and "not what the judge really had in mind".
The judge was then taken off the case and eventually replaced by her boss.
It was this oddity that earned the Delta Pioneer the distinction of "strangest arrest case of the year" at an event hosted by shiparrested.com — an international network of maritime lawyers. By the time Krasnokutskiy presented the case to his colleagues at the gathering, however, it had already been settled.
The turning point, which paved the way for a settlement, arrived when a Russian appeals court decided that independent experts should reassess the damage.
A new estimate would have been itself subject to review, possibly giving rise to a new round of lengthy disputes.
This seems to have caused Transneft and its subsidiaries to soften their stance. A settlement was eventually reached and approved by the court in late March.
The initial $63.5m claim was cut back to $27m, to be paid in compensation to LLC Transneft-Port Primorsk and to LLC Primorsky Commercial Port.
The settlement is backed by a guarantee issued by Austrian lender Raiffeisen Bank, which is in turn backed by the International Group cartel.
In a statement to TradeWinds, Transneft confirmed the agreement but declined to discuss the matter further, citing client confidentiality.
Delta Tankers had not responded to a request for comment by the time TradeWinds went to press.
The affair provides further evidence that Russia's port and legal system can spring some nasty surprises.
Russia's own authorities have targeted some terminals, including Primorsk Port, over anticompetitive practices.
According to international media reports, the law in Russia is often applied selectively and prosecutions can be influenced by outside factors.
"I would just like for the market and the shipowners to be aware of the peculiar risks associated with calling at Russian ports," Krasnokutskiy concluded.

Sand Sledding at White Sands
White Sands National Monument is a place everybody should go! Located in southern New Mexico between the cities Las Cruces and Alamogordo, it's one of the world's greatest natural wonders as the world's largest gypsum dunefield.
I did not expect to have as much fun as I did at White Sands National Monument. At first you are like, "How much time am I really going to spend here?" I ended up spending half a day here, walking on sand dunes and sledding on sand dunes… trust me, it's loads of fun.
About White Sands National Monument
- The white sands are made out of gypsum. Gypsum is a mineral whose uses include manufacturing of wallboard, cement, plaster of Paris, and soil conditioning.
- There is a fee to get in. Check White Sands @ NPS for more information.
- It is a dynamic place. Some sand dunes move at a rate of 30 feet per year, which means don't figure out directions based off of this sand dune being taller than another one.
What to do at White Sands
- Chill. Bring a picnic blanket and have a meal there! Bring a book to read! Fall asleep (that's what I did)!
- Bring a plastic sled or purchase one from the gift shop. You can purchase old sleds at a slightly cheaper price if any are available. You could also sell back sleds for a bit of your money back.
- There's a long hike here. I didn't do it because I didn't have the most important equipment of all: a compass.
What to bring
If you decide to go, bring:
- At least 1 gallon of water per person in your party
- Snacks
- Money
- Compass
- Sunblock
- Sunglasses
- Hat
- A good attitude
I cannot wait for the next time I go back!

Apple has made another high-profile hires, this time with Google's "Chief of Search and Artificial intelligence"—Mr. John Ginnandrea. This high profile poaching of one of the top AI executives has been noted with high hopes for Siri's updates. As per New York Times, Ginnandrea will be leading Apple's Machine learning and AI strategy, while Jeff Dean replacing Ginnandrea in Google.
This wouldn't come as a surprise to Apple customers, for the iPhone digital assistant Siri is somewhat far behind those of Google and Amazon counterparts—Alexa and Google Assistant. Building software powered by AI has not been Apple's strong suit in the past, and this hire has a high chance to reverse the situation, obviously. And Ginnandrea is going to be one of the 16 executives who report directly to Apple's Chief Executive—Tim Cook. That's a big deal! As of the new development, according to New York Times, Tim Cook has informed his staff via an email as,
"Our technology must be infused with the values we all hold dear. John shares our commitment to privacy and our thoughtful approach as we make computers even smarter and more personal."
Of course, Apple's move has created a lot more than ripples among those in Silicon Valley. AI technology has changed the way we use all our gadgets, especially Smartphones. The more we depend on our smartphones, the smarter we expect the digital assistants to be. Completing simple to complex tasks commanded by the user requires the fluid and impeccable execution of AI, now that Apple has Google's secret charm with it, we can actually expect wonderful things from Siri.
Mr. Ginnandrea has so far managed to integrate AI in all Google products, including Gmail, Google search and its own special Google Assistant. And let's say, we dig Google products for their smartness, and that's a point for Google. Ginnandrea joined Google in 2010, when it acquired Metaweb—a startup where he worked as the chief technology officer. The concept, on which Metaweb was working on, was then used in Google to deliver direct answers to user's questions. In addition to that, we should also bear in mind about his opinion over whether we need to be spooked about the accelerating AI. As of his MIT Technology Review interview last year, he answered that all our concerns about killer AI systems becoming a threat to human beings in future is just overblown.
Ergo, we're up for some AI surprises from Apple in near future. Let's hope it's a good one!
If you want to really compare Siri's smartness to Google Assistant, here you go:

A little fox finds a warm safe place to wait for his Mum, nestled in the bottom of a walled garden next to a hole under a gate. He waits and waits – the light fades and the dark sky sparkles with tiny lights. He curls up tighter to keep the warmth in as he hasn't yet developed his luxuriously thick russet coat and bushy tail. He waits and waits….
His Mum doesn't come and with each passing day he gets weaker . A kind lady has noticed him in her garden and has left food and water nearby but he doesn't move, it seems he has given up.
We often get contacted by caring individuals who have found or seen a fox cub who needs help. My partner, Richard, always tries to recommend the best people or charities in the area to help rescue and release these little ones back to the wild but when a kind lady contacted us about this particular little guy she was so worried about, we took a closer look. She had contacted a well known animal charity several times that week with limited help, the cub had been out there with very little food for nearly a week. We recieved a picture of the cub, tiny and tightly nestled up by a wall looking like he had given up. I cracked then with the knowledge that the cub wouldn't last much longer and on seeing Richards worried face as he looked at the image of the little cub.
"Ok then, lets go and get him" I said.
We jumped in the car with a cat box, jumpers, kitten milk and feeding bottle. We had no idea whether he would eat after all this time and of course whether in fact he would get through the night. Three hours later and we met the gaze of the small cub, 'Charlie Bear', he was a beauty and we could see he was lively enough, he was going to make it.
Crazy it may be but Charlie seemed so grateful to us. Different from the others, he was always looking into our eyes and spent most of the time cuddled up as close as possible to us both. The next week or so involved feeding every 4 hours, we noticed a problem with his back legs being a bit weak and on doing some research found that it was probably due to a lack of calcium because he did not have the milk he needed early on. Luckily with the correct mix of the early stage cat milk we always had to hand, he was soon bombing about the place with our dog Maddy.
Then the fun and games began…. he was residing in the lounge at this time where he had a large crate to feel safe and could be closed in when he slept, nice and secure for him and a break from the crazy for us! His new game was to wait until I left the room and then get all my crochet wool out of my basket, bat it about a bit, chew it a little and if possible tie himself up in it so when I came back in the room he was looking at me from a large tangled bundle of wool. Drove me potty! It didn't matter where I hid it in the room he found it! To be honest, I think he enjoyed being untangled because he would run about like a nutter afterwards, you know.. the way cats do when they have a mad 5 minutes.
I was habituated to the naughtiness of fox cubs but this little fella was different to the others, he seemed to like getting caught up and stuck in places just so he could be rescued! When he was a little older the same game stepped up a gear but we'll get to that later.
The love Charlie had for Maddy was reciprocated, they played together, ate together and slept together. Maddy is very good with all our rescues when they are babies, we would watch them carefully of course but I needn't have worried, even with those needle sharp teeth going to town on Maddy's tail, she never once retaliated.
Charlie Bear came on in leaps and bounds, his back legs restored to normal working order (Phew!) and he moved on to his adult food quickly. At this stage, he was more like a clumsy young dog with the nimbleness of a cat who ran rings around Maddy the terrier, mostly with finess but sometimes causing a momentary holding of breath, as he ran headlong into the table, tv or water bowls or sometimes just skidding and falling off the coffee table. The intelligence levels of the foxes far exceeded our little dogs as time went on and we started to notice that Maddy was losing control of the toys and the bed! Charlie was manipulating situations to confuse her then ultimately claiming victory, all the toys were accumulated, thieved and stored away in a safe place before Maddy even knew they were gone. It made us laugh, seeing a very confused terrier standing in the middle of the room with not a toy in sight and a very smug fox looking on from a hidey hole in the bookcase. In fact when anything went missing, remote controls, slippers, glasses etc. it was more than likely in Charlies hidden stash.
The real fun came when Charles Bear mastered the art of climbing, it would take a while on entering the room to locate a small ginger furry thing who was either clinging to the top of the curtains or sitting between books on the book shelves.
On occasion you would hear a crash and just knew it was one of the few ornaments left unbroken falling from the top shelf of the unit and there he was, very neatly positioned in his chosen spot on the top shelf right where our favourite african vase had been. It is safe to say these beautiful, intelligent creatures are not congruent with ornaments or just generally having a nice lounge. It became Maddy and Charlie's play room and not anywhere I would want to entertain any visitors, not least because of the smell but more because the poor unsuspecting guest being stalked would be pounced on, having their arm siezed and taken down in a death roll. nothing cuter than a fox cub pouncing head over tail onto your lap, legs in the air in a death roll with your sleeve but only when you don't have a cup of tea in hand at the time.
The day came to get Charlie out on the patio area for longer, un-supervised periods of the day. Richard was like a worried father sending his child off to school for the first time unlike me, I was keen to let the Bear run off a little of his pent up energy. We made it as safe as possible for him to get outdoor time without being able to escape the area in a panic, Richard went a little overboard, I looked out the window on the chosen afternoon and had to have a double take on the construction of the ugly metal mesh going up around my plant boxed trellis along the edge of the patio… it was starting to look like a prison yard but it did the trick.
The daily mad dash around outside with Maddy in tow made all the difference, we now had a fairly chilled fox cub, worn out and relaxed most evenings.
I couldnt work out why they both smelt so nice when they had had the afternoon on the patio until I went to cut some thyme from the herb bed and found it completely flat and pathetic. They were rolling and propelling themselves forward with their back legs in a belly slide, through all my herbs, hence their lovely smell and the unusable herbs! Charlie would help with the planting on occasion, he was nosey and just had to know what you were doing, sticking his nose into everything and pawing the left over plant pots which usually ended up distributed about the patio. It was a battle of wills to hang on to seed packets, lollipop stick markers and even the trowel. What would normally take half an hour would become a few hours with search and rescue thrown in for his entertainment. Ahhh.. I do have fond memories of those days though.
We have a local hunt unfortunatley, all of a sudden you could hear the harrowing sounds of the hunt horn, which to this day makes my skin crawl, the dogs were visible around the edge of the smallholding and poor little Charlie would bolt inside for the rest of the day. Could it be a natural in-built fear for them to react so badly to the dogs barking and the horn, is this testament to so many years of persecution? He was increasingly wary of the patio from then on. It makes me so sad to think of these beautiful, intelligent and not to mention, an integral part of our eco system being tortured for the sake of entertainment. If any of you know Richard, you will know of his constant plight to bring the often hidden cruelty of fox hunting and 'bagged' foxes to the publics attention and I admire him greatly for that. I think maybe Charlie, Rosie and Hetty love him a little more for it too.
Richard was away a few weeks here and there which he hated because each time Charlie bonded a little more with me, it always took him a day or so to win back the little chap to his rightful place with him. I was left in these times to entertain the furry and feathered troops alone which could be a bit tricky. Little Charlie was sleeping less and wanting more attention so each time I left the room he would want to draw my attention back to him.
I learnt to ignore the noise coming from the lounge as I knew most of the stuff that could be damaged was out of reach but now and again I would hear a different noise which always had me peeping in the door to see what was happening.
He stepped up the game when it was time for bed, by this time he wasnt happy with his crate so I left him to sleep on the sofa at night – bad move!! My bedroom is over the lounge so I could hear him playing away with his toys until a big bang made me sit up in bed, it sounded like the wide screen tv hiting the floor…. and it was! Luckily it wasnt damaged, I wagged my finger at him (he just thought it was a game, of course!), put the TV back so he couldn't knock it again and I went back to bed. Within a few minutes I could hear a different noise. I continued to listen hoping it would quieten down which it did but I couldn't help think something was wrong so I trudged downstairs again bleary eyed to find the lounge as I left it and no Charlie in sight. I looked everywhere until the last place to search was behind the tv cabinet, which was as I thought inaccessable, but there he was wrapped up in all the wires looking up at me from the dark. Not sure how he had got there and upon trying to unplug and untangle him from all the wires I couldnt understand how completely tangled up he had got! So now I had to try and barracade any openings behind the cabinate and tv and this is all after midnight.
I secured everything, went back upstairs and fell into bed.
The next night I went through my new routine of barracading the tv and cabinet before heading upstairs. The peace was not to last – I heard the same scrabbling noise as the previous night and then silence, it was too quiet.
Once again I put my dressing gown on and headed down to the lounge, opened the door and was greeted by the satellite box, dvd player, wifi box and various remotes all cascading out of the tv cabinet and in their place, peering out from the darkness was a fox! He had managed to get himself in one of the tight spaces between shelves with the added bonus of being wrapped up in all the cables again. Ok, so what was the deal with wanting to be wrapped up in cables? This was trickier than the previous unravelling of Charles Bear because he was in such a tight space…. an hour later after disconnecting all the wires and some serious blocking-in of the tv area I was back in bed knowing that all was safe downstairs.
At 2am I was awoken by a ringing noise, it was the phone extension in the bedroom. There was no one on the other end and it dawned on me that this ringing was being set off from the main phone in the lounge.
No, it couldnt be could it?
Has Charlie worked out how to call me upstairs? No, that would be silly!
I went downstairs and put the phone back on its stand, he must have just knocked it, went back upstairs and of course it happened again so I took the phone away. By now I was a going a little stir crazy, I was even questioning my sanity as I thought about what that little fox could be plotting next! Well, I was not to be dissappointed, it wasn't the phone being knocked off it was the "find the phone" push button on the phone stand that was causing the ringing…ARGHHH!
Can he be that intelligent that he knows that knocking that button on the stand is bringing me downstairs? Is it just one big hilarious game? Maybe the paranoia was getting to me being so tired, but he almost seemed to be sniggering as he watched me come into the room time and time again! I removed the phone stand and all peace resumed.
My lounge at this time was looking a little bare, no plants, certainly no books of any worth, no ornaments and now no wires. I knew I had to have the conversation with Richard when he returned about Charlie moving in with Hetty the other rescue fox. Charles Bear clearly needed a more open and robust environment and hopefully a new foxy friendship with a like minded soul.
It was a worrying time for Richard as he was so nervous about letting the two foxes get together, they had met before on a few occassions but Charlie was much bigger this time and there was the worry of the initial tussle that would invariably happen to sort their pecking order. There was pacing and chattering, then they settled at opposite ends of their bedding area and that was that! It was a huge relief. Today Charles Bear and Hetty are friends, they both have company and play together when they are up and about.
We visit several times a day along with Maddy who they both go potty over – to be honest they are way more excited about the visit than our little terrier who goes with the flow but is a little lost when things step up a gear into foxy super-fast mode. Maddy just rolls over on her back and waits for Charlie to pounce, then she has him in a death roll, which he seems to love. I personally just enjoy watching them all interact, waiting for my chance of a belly rub when they decide they are ready for a fuss – and it is all on their terms entirely.
We are in the process of building a bigger enclosure for the pair as we want the best for them. Ideally we would have wanted to release them but a combination of the hand rearing and ultimately bonding with us, and the danger of illegal hunting in the area made us think again. Spending time with these beautiful creatures has felt very special and the reception we get everytime we go to see them melts our hearts. The delighted squeaks, ears flat and frantic wagging tails – yes, they wag their tails, which tells us for now, they are happy and we endeavour to make their lives as full and safe as we can. The bond between Charles Bear and Richard is amazing. I would love to get footage of this but you take a camera in with them and it will be stolen, hidden and chewed as I found out to my expense. Charlie has to be close to Richard, he seems to touch him at all times whether it is just rubbing past him, standing on him or sitting so close so they are nose to nose. If I can't find Richard, I will go and check the foxes and there they are, usually with Charlie fully stretched out on his back while Richard rubs his belly and kisses the top of his head.
I think, if it was possible, Richard would be with the foxes 24/7. He often comments on how happy he would be with a small log cabin for him and his foxes to chill out… I get the feeling it is my fault that they don't all live together happily in the smelly, chewed and messy place that once was the lounge.

Compare Water Softener Features
Dec 11th 2018
All Water Softeners are Not Created Equal
Hard water is a common problem in households. A water softener installation can make those problems disappear. Softeners eliminate impurities and remove minerals like calcium and magnesium from the water supply. Softening water extends the life of appliances and cuts down on maintenance. It also makes washing clothing and dishes easier, and saves money.
With countless options of water treatment systems available, it's hard to narrow down choices without knowing what to look for. All water softeners are not created equal and finding the right one requires homeowners to do a bit of research.
Features, prices, and warranty levels can vary quite a bit from system to system. It's important to note the different capabilities so that optimal water treatment can be achieved for the specific needs of each household.
There are several questions every homeowner should ask before purchasing a water softener system.
- What is the size and filter capacity?
- How does the system operate?
- What is the cost of upkeep and has it been tested and certified?
The best water softener will operate at high efficiency, removing hardness with the least amount of waste.
Water Softener Sizing
When determining the correct size water softener, there are two factors to consider. Hardness (must factor in iron for well water customers into hardness) and the number of people that live in the home are the two determinants. The actual cubic footage of the system is how to measure the capacity. Filtering capacity is the unit's ability to remove the minerals causing the hard water.
Water softeners work on the premise that bigger is not better. Finding the accurate size for a system is done by testing the water and calculating the average water usage of soft water per month.
The difference between water softener sizes is capacity, which is defined by the maximum number of grains of hardness (GPG, ppm, mg/L) the unit can remove from the water per cycle or regeneration.
All water softeners use water and salt (most can use potassium) to remove hardness. The difference is found in the efficiency of a system. Water softener reviews of the Fleck and Genesis water softener systems highlight this difference.
Based on salt usage for each regeneration, households can save money by using the higher efficiency Genesis water softener, which requires considerably less salt, and far fewer gallons of water. Minimizing waste and water usage cuts down on the costs of operation, saving homeowners hundreds of dollars per year.
Upflow vs. Downflow
Although water softener systems may look similar in appearance, the technology used to treat hard water is often quite different. For example, a 48,000 grain capacity system with older, downflow technology may use double the amount of salt and water than a 48,000 grain capacity softener with modern, upflow technology.
Systems like the Fleck water softener use downflow technology. In this process, the water enters from above and flows down through the resin. The problem with this older technology is that the system has to be completely flushed every regeneration, which wastes the reserve capacity if unused.
Downflow systems also require backwashing every regeneration--whether on municipal (paid water with chlorination) or private well. The result is much higher water usage that goes down the drain or into septic systems unecessarily. Downflow also brines for the entire capacity, so it flushes the reserve each regeneration whether it was used or not.
The Genesis systems use newer, upflow brining technology in which water is directed in an upflow direction. Upflow technology cuts down on salt and water usage by regenerating the precise amount needed and preserving the reserve capacity if unused. When on municipal water supply (you pay for water), the upflow only backwashes every 10 regenerations. These advantages significantly cut down on waste.
Timered, On Demand, Warranties and NSF Certifications
Some softener systems operate on number of days versus number of gallons used. This manual operation forces regeneration whether the capacity is fully used or not. These timered softeners are inefficient due to regenerating based on days rather than capacity usage. The result can be either running out of soft water or flushing away capacity.
A water softener that regenerates based on demand is much more efficient because it operates based on water usage and ensures all capacity is used. A water softener that counts the gallons of water used is precise and efficient.
Warranties are another area where buyers should be selective. A reliable system with a great warranty can save homeowners on future repairs or replacement. It's always beneficial to read the fine print and look for the longest warranties that are offered.
Product certification by the NSF guarantees that claims made by the manufacturer have been verified. The NSF performs third-party testing for safety, quality, and performance of water treatment systems. Softener systems bearing the NSF seal shows that it's been through a comprehensive evaluation process. It's never a bad idea to check on product quality before making this kind of investment; look for the NSF seal on the packaging or directly on a water softener.
Compare Water Softener Features and Prices Before Buying
Price alone shouldn't be the final consideration in choosing a water treatment system. Spending a ton of money won't guarantee efficiency. Taking the right steps before purchasing will help buyers choose the right home solution for dealing with hard water and meet budget requirements.
Installing the right system for your home is important. Fortunately, the choice becomes a lot easier when armed with the facts. Matching a home's water quality and usage to properly size a water softener will minimize salt and water usage while maximizing efficiency.
Hard water is a reality for 85% of American homes, but the problem can easily be corrected with the right approach. To compare water softener features, buyers should know the specific requirements of their household and keep in mind that all water softeners are not created equal. Eliminating hard water is as simple as installing the correct softening system.

Taking the Post Office out of politics
A NUMBER Of signs indicate that the Nixon administration will introduce legislation to the Ninety-first Congress to implement the major recommendations of the President's Commission on Postal Organization. The Commission, chaired by Frederick Kappel of AT&T, has proposed that the Post Office Department be removed from the President's Cabinet and reorganized as a nonprofit, government-owned corporation (such as TVA). A businessman's recommendation (among the ten-man Commission were six top executives of major corporations and the Dean of the Harvard Business School), it has natural appeal to a Republican administration and special appeal to Winton M. Blount, the new Postmaster General. Blount was formerly President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce---an organization which surveyed its several thousand members and found that over 95 per cent endorsed the Commission proposals. The administration has already taken a first step in the direction of a nonpolitical post office by announcing the intention to sever postmaster appointments from congressional patronage.

This chapter is a practitioner based description of interaction between groups and individuals in front of and with room sized diorama at the Powell-Cotton Museum. Over the past five years performance and storytelling have been a method through which audiences are engaged through multiple intelligences. Different types of performance: Traditional storytelling, storytelling from the displays, and natural history storytelling are described along with the learning objectives that they are intended to elicit. This is very much storytelling with a purpose. The purpose can be many fold and adapted both to the intended messages and audiences.

The Inter-University Council for Higher Education Overseas was granted a relatively autonomous status in 1970 by the Ministry of Overseas Development. But as the decade progressed the IUC was deeply affected by changes in the Ministry's policy which involved centralization of administration and emphasis on aid to sub-university education. Hence there was pressure to reduce considerably expenditure on salary supplementation, which was vital for the IUC as its reputation had been built largely on its capacity to recruit British staff for overseas universities. The IUC responded by encouraging links, but this was jeopardized in Nigeria as a result of the Ministry's decision in the aftermath of the energy crisis to require Nigeria to pay half the costs of educational aid. The Ministry intended to exclude the IUC from the technical cooperation agreement but was unable to do so because of the Nigerian Government's plans to establish more universities. The IUC's services were regarded as necessary by the Nigerian authorities during the period of expansion. The Ministry had to relent, but was unhappy at the discrepancy with its own objectives. Some revision in the Ministry's view of universities has occurred; but the view continues to be defined by "relevance" to manpower development, rather than the broader concept of academic partnership which inspired the IUC.

The main focus of the book is the middle layer of relational action that lies analytically between the system and the individual and which is connected to both. As I discuss expertise in this chapter, I move between the relational aspects of activities and the practices that comprise the systemic in order to understand how relational task accomplishment is achieved. Topics covered include a brief look at some of the individual psychological accounts of expertise which emphasise relational aspects; an introduction to Holland's idea of figured worlds of practices in which people can become expert; a discussion of the expertise that is distributed across systems; the importance of knowledge to networked and collective practices; and expertise as successful purposeful engagement in practices.

While concerns about graduate unemployment and the work-readiness of graduates in Sub-Saharan Africa abound, there is a severe lack of institutional data and academic research on graduate destinations on which to base policy changes. This article presents findings from an exploratory study of three major higher education institutions in Kenya. An online survey was conducted with recent graduates in a range of disciplinary areas, aiming to determine, first, what employment activities they were engaged in, and second, what associations there might be between those activities, the graduates' background characteristics, and their experiences at university. Findings suggest that proportions of absolute unemployment are lower than expected, but that many graduates are transiting between provisional or part-time employment and internships, and have not yet obtained the graduate level jobs aspired to. Finally, implications are drawn out for potential national-level graduate destination surveys in Kenya and elsewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This chapter aims to show how a Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) perspective provides linguistic evidence for business students' academic writing and conceptual development in both the dynamic assessment and the non-dynamic assessment contexts. Specifically, this chapter systematically tracks students' grasp of the case study analysis genre from the text development perspective by considering generic stages, macroThemes and hyperThemes. It also documents the trajectory of business studies students' knowledge about the case study analysis genre and the key business concepts (i.e., disciplinary knowledge) required by the assignments examined. As in Chap.
, the notion of Vygotskian microgenetic development has been applied to understand students' academic writing and conceptual development in distance education.

There are different views of what qualities and qualifications are required for language teachers to do their job properly, and these are reflected in the different terms that are used to refer to the kind of provision made to equip them for their task. The traditional term teacher training, for example seems to be solution orientated, and to carry the implication that teachers are to be given specific instruction in practical techniques to cope with predictable events, whereas teacher education seems to be problem orientated, and to imply a broader intellectual awareness of theoretical principles underlying particular practices (see Peters, 1977; Widdowson, 1990). The French term formation might be taken to cover both. All three terms can apply to the pre-service preparation of teachers and to their subsequent in-service development. The question arises as to whether the two orientations are equally appropriate in each case, and if so how they are to be reconciled. This applies to all teachers. The question also arises as to whether there is something specific to second language teachers that needs to be accounted for in their formation.

We introduce the work of the British Sign Language (BSL) glossary of technical science terms, based at the Scottish Sensory Centre at the University of Edinburgh. This online glossary is designed to support deaf students and staff. BSL has previously not had a wide range of technical vocabulary and in this chapter we discuss some of the linguistic features of the new vocabulary contributed by deaf scientists and sign linguists. We explore ways that mainstream science teachers are prepared to deal with deaf issues in the UK, and how specialist teachers of deaf children are trained to support them. We review the linguistic and pedagogic issues relating to teaching science to deaf children who sign, discussing the complexities of working in a mainstream science class with sign language interpreters. A course developed by the Scottish Sensory Centre for science teachers and support staff based on the work of the Glossary is described. Finally, the professional development course is evaluated by science teachers, teachers of deaf children and BSL/English interpreters.

Most computers in organisations connect to a network using a LAN. These networks normally consist of a backbone, which is the common link to all the networks within the organisation. This backbone allows users on different network segments to com-municate and allows data into and out of the local network. Figure 2.1 shows a local area network which contains various segments: LAN A, LAN B, LAN C, LAN D, LAN E and LAN F. These are connected to the local network via the BACKBONE 1. Thus, if LAN A talks to LAN E then the data must travel out of LAN A, onto BACKBONEI, then into LAN C and through onto LAN E.

Carinthia sours on autonomous transport
Autonomous air taxis fail to secure needed permits to begin proper trials
- October 09, 2019 14:30
- Anton Stoyanov
The Austrian municipality of Pörtschach was supposed to host trial runs for autonomous air taxis in September. That, however, did not come to pass.
At first the operators claimed that it will be rescheduling the tests because of lack of time to prepare. Later on, it turned out that it had actually failed to secure the necessary permits for the flying vehicle.
According to local authorities the operator had not even submitted a request for such documents, thus the process had to be entirely suspended.
Technology clashes with regulation
The trial runs were supposed to be a part of a larger project in the Austrian state of Carinthia. The regional government had signed a contract with the company "Suraaa" for a total of 800,000 euros in a 22-month period.
The lack of concrete results is leading officials to seriously reconsider their partnership with the company after the current contract expires at the end of the year.
The 800,000-euro investment was allocated for the trial and development not only of the autonomous flying taxi but also for offices and the deployment of an autonomous bus in Pörtschach.
Local government officials still maintain a flicker of hope, however, as they state that there still exists a possibility to extend the contract if concrete results are shown by the end of the year.
Lessons from the past
A similar project was showcased in Vienna earlier this year – with the Chinese company eHang demonstrating the prowess of their own autonomous flying taxi.
Back then similar issues were raised regarding the legislature needed for the piloting of such vehicles with the company's representatives claiming to be in contact with EU officials working on the taxi's authorization across the European Union.
