How to Package Profiles
Part of a managed Mac's configuration is often one or more Profiles, either Configuration Profiles, or an Enrollment Profile for an MDM server like Apple's Profile Manager or Cisco Meraki Systems Manager.

Here are the links to the marriages of Tony Rizzo, Jr and Joseph Rizzo. Also the third link is to a marriage of a Josephine F. Rizzo to a Mario Michael Chiricuzio (could this be Chick?). Marriage was in 1938, her father was an Anthony and her mother a Concetta. She was, however, born in 1918-only 20 at the time of the 1938 marriage, which she lists as her first marriage. She died in Pittsburg, California in 2002. Her mother's surname was supposedly Zanghi.
The marriage records of Tony Jr Rizzo and Joseph Rizzo give Josephine Forte as their mother:
Tony Rizzo, Jr.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... :961337493
Joseph Rizzo
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... n523775879
Josephine F. Rizzo -1838 marriage record- I see that someone has husband Chiricuzio on ancestry.com and an 1885 year of birth for her father Anthony Rizzo. I don't have a subscription to ancestry.com and can't access all of the info on that family. I am just wondering if the husband in this record could be Chick (maybe Chick was a nickname for a surname and not a first name)??? Also the husband Mario Michael's Chiricuzio's mother's surname was Digennaro, close to DeGerome maybe, so maybe this info found on ancestry.com is throwing off the ancestry of the correct Rizzo family and confusing everything????

Five things: the DI's medical clinicWhether it's treating wounds, facing the unique challenges of aging, mental health or addictions issues, or simply holding the hand of a palliative patient who has no one else to say it'll be OK, each day at the Drop In Centre's medical clinic brings something new.
Christmas Fund: Drop In Centre clinic provides health care for the homeless | videoJim Yurkiewicz, a diabetic with high blood pressure and a new wound on his left foot was recently discharged from hospital and is now cared for at the Calgary Drop In & amp; Rehab Centre medical clinic, keeping him out of ER.

Lethbridge County imposes weight restrictions on aging bridgesWith harvest underway, Lethbridge County has restricted access to a number of its bridges out of concern they've reached the end of their life cycle and are no longer able to carry heavy loads. Reeve Lorne Hickey called the bridges a major safety concern and blamed provincial funding cuts for leaving the county unable to make necessary repairs or replacements.
Israeli envoy urges vigilance against anti-semitismIsrael's ambassador to Canada says he hopes peaceful nations remain vigilant against any rise in anti-semitism in the wake of high-profile conflicts such as the recent escalation in Gaza. Speaking to the Calgary Herald editorial board Wednesday, Rafael Barak added he's confident anti-semitism isn't on the rise in Canada and that authorities respond appropriately if cases emerge.
Tory hopeful urges scrapping plans to take over ambulance dispatch in CalgaryA Progressive Conservative leadership candidate said the provincial health authority should put plans to take over ambulance dispatch service in Calgary on ice following criticism of the strategy from Mayor Naheed Nenshi. "Lets put the brakes on it," said Tory MLA Thomas Lukaszuk, one of three candidates running for the PC leadership.
Nenshi rejects turning over ambulance dispatch to provincial health authorityCalgary is bucking plans by the provincial health authority to take over ambulance dispatch services — with Mayor Naheed Nenshi firing off a protest letter to the Health Minister, and a union official warning the changes could prove risky to patients. The challenges comes as Alberta Health Services plans to open its new Calgary dispatch centre in April 2015.
Health professionals call for concussion management plan in sportCalling the current approach to dealing with sports concussions "haphazard," a national group of health professionals is urging teams and event organizers to adopt a common method of dealing with the injuries. In a report released on Thursday, the Canadian Concussion Collaborative calls on sports organizations to put in place a "concussion management protocol" — a plan to educate teams, coaches, parents and players on how to recognize signs of concussions and what to do if a player is injured.

I met with a medicare consultant in Waco, Texas in January 2012 who taught me a lot about medicare. I have since retired and a friend of mine wants to talk to this lady however I cannot remember her name. She was in a small office, she was the only one in there, she was employed by the government I believe. She was a very informative black lady. Can you help me find her name?

Agincourt (The)
487 London Road, Camberley , United Kingdom GU15 3JAMap
+44 12 762 2225
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
With bands like the Rolling Stones playing here, it is fair to say that The Agincourt rock club is an institution in itself in Camberley. Frequented by old timers who come for their dose of 1980's rock and by the student crowd who come for the DJs, this club manages to please people of all ages and abilities. Foam machines, mirror ball disco lights and colorful laser beams, punctuate the smoky air at this hedonistic haven. The bouncers are particular about patrons being above 18 years so make sure you carry an Id as proof. Call ahead for open hours.

When I was small, I was very lucky to need four Mother's Day cards. Naturally, I made a card for my mom, but also for my two grandmothers, and then one additional card for a very dear aunt.
Our neighborhood had a surprise snowstorm this weekend - a "chance of flurries" rapidly became eight inches, and by morning everything was covered in a sparkling white blanket. I turned on some Nat King Cole, flicked on the holiday lights, and cooked up French toast with flurries of powdered sugar, hot chocolate and whipped cream. My son woke to a winter wonderland.
Last week, my son had his photo taken on Santa's lap. It was a really cute picture. His hair was sort of messy, his shirt slightly wrinkled, but his face was a giant, upturned grin. As soon as I had that photo in my hands, I paused with indecision. To post or not to post? Instagram? Facebook? Twitter?
The holidays are the time to make merry, and what would the merriment be without some delicious and satisfying juice drinks to start your day or see you through those holiday events. These three from Williams Sonoma are as festive-looking as they are delicious and refreshingly good for you. Enjoy!
No matter how you celebrate the season one thing is for sure: These are the days of surprises. They might come under a tree or a menorah. They may appear on a table or at the door, but they'll be there. Some surprises, however, no one wants to see, namely those uninvited holiday hazards that pop up between here and the new year.
This time of year we're busy spreading joy to the world over the hills and through the woods. But unless we're careful, we'll also spread around enough solid waste to bury the North Pole in the process. Here's how to make mincemeat of most of it.
On my first holiday as a married woman, I was a little surprised to see that my affluent in-laws cut off the front of old greeting cards and used them as gift tags.
These apple cinnamon cookies are the perfect addition to any holiday cookie tin or snowy evening in. The best part? They're so simple! Keep scrolling down to find our gift to you - a fabulous holiday recipe book.
The holiday season is here and we have a special gift for you. Here's list of 25 ideas for things kid can do on their own, or with a parent or caregiver, that should help you survive -- and even have some fun -- until the holiday break is over.
My son turns three in a few short months, which feels like the perfect age for the holiday season. He's old enough to understand that something special is happening, and young enough to be fascinated by the simplest pieces of it. No tiny baby napping through everything, no adolescent yawns of boredom. Just magic.

There have been many documented instances of failures of swivels, their main problem stems from the difficulty of properly inspecting them, many of the components are hidden from view even upon dis-assembly... And, if you're using hi-test chain, chances are any appropriately sized stainless swivel will be the weakest link in your system... ACCO makes a hi-test galvanized swivel sized for 1/4" hi-test, otherwise they are extremely hard to come by...
Boggles the mind how often I see swivels clamped right to an anchor , without any intervening bow shackle, just begging for a side load upon the anchor stock to pry the jaws of the swivel apart, or induce an eccentric load on another part of the swivel, a disaster waiting to happen...
KISS, a single bow shackle between anchor and chain, there is no reason to add additional complexity and potential points of failure, IMHO...
Here's just one recent cautionary tale:
Latitude 38 - 'Lectronic Latitude
There you go. A number of instances of failure. Interesting.
Thanks for that JE.
Have to say I've never had any particular problem in maintaining anchor orientation and that covers Danforths, CQRs, Rocna plus very lately a Bruce and a never used Spade.

450 hours of internship done this summer... 0 dollars earned
the guy has known what he wanted to do since he was like 11 years old lol. I'm 22 now and still don't really have a solid idea
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Your still very young . If you want it bad enough you will find a way . Just never give up.
@Bruffins Imagine at $30/hour that would be $13,500
It's through my program at school (sport management at Brock) and I was the operations manager for a soccer team in Kingston. League One is the league if you have heard of it, it was their first year
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Cool, sounds like fun.
@Cloud09 @Bruffins @Burtonboy It does sound fun. I'm sure it'll pay off in the long run, Bruffins.
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Man good luck . I hope you become the next Dubas . Not joking either
was a lot of work but great overall experience! the Kingston Frontenacs rejected my resume before I landed this one haha
I could have taught Sam how to do a pull-up
Thanks, really appreciate that. Actually listened to Dubas speak when he came to Brock for alumni day. I was more impressed with him than any other individual that came and spoke during my four years there, I truly believe he will be something special with the NHL
@Bruffins @Burtonboy What I like about Shanny and I'm guessing Dubas is the same is they are innovators . Not afraid to push beyond traditional boundaries.
@Bruffins @Burtonboy pffff no one knows until they are about to retire.
@Tim Horton @Bruffins @Burtonboy What I did know was it was time to retire . Enough of management jobs for me :)
@Tim Horton @Bruffins @Burtonboy
hmmmm retirement sounds nice, Im ready to start that
@Bruffins @Tim Horton @Burtonboy Like BB said never give up on that dream ;)
@Tim Horton @Bruffins @Burtonboy
NHL 13 in the parents' basement it is :)
@Bruffins @Burtonboy its not the clippers is it?
@mikeyboy @Bruffins @Burtonboy
you still up? How do you know the Clippers? haha
I could almost buy a ticket to a Leafs game!
Model Points60 is:
"the points/60 a player is expected to achieve, determined by variables beyond a player's control that have a cause-and-effect relationship with points60 (on-ice Csh%, TMCF20, OppCA20, OZFO%)"
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Not sure I'm interpreting this correctly but what I do see is a trend upwards for Bozak since 2011. I know he won't maintain that insane shooting % he had last yr but he does have a career shooting % of 16 % which is very high. Not unrealistic that Bozak could put up 60 + pts a yr and along with everything else he does . PK and a large number of defensive zone faceoffs. The guy is a valuable player and doesn't deserve the criticism he gets IMO
@Bruffins @Burtonboy oh well. I see. Thanks
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Thank you Sir . I doubt I will dig into this to the point where I try to learn how they calculate these numbers . Just nice to know what they actually mean .
all I am noticing is that the model seems to always be very close to the actual result.
@Bruffins @Burtonboy One Ice Corsi shooting percentage... Team Corsi For per 20. Opponent Corsi Against per 20. Offensive zone face off %. This is probably what they stand for.
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Hockey's advanced statisticians showing off how important their contribution is to predicting player results, I guess. No idea why they're so insecure.
@Tim Horton @Bruffins @Burtonboy
yeah that looks right
@MaxwellHowe @Bruffins @Burtonboy
just have to get through August... Just have to get through August... Just have to...
unfortunately there are a lot of players on our team that don't deserve ALL of the criticism they get. I always find myself cheering a little harder for those guys (early years Kessel, Kulemin, Clarkson next year, Phaneuf, Reimer, add Bozak to the list)
@Bruffins @Burtonboy Yeah I almost always cheer for the underdog
My advanced stats for the weekend
@Xxxxxnew Interesting. Is this data laid out in a (chocolate) bar graph as well?
It can be chocolate.
@Xxxxxnew We have a problem here. The player is leaving 2/3 on the table. Player needs to up his corsi chop count.
These graphs are going to set advanced stats back by decades.

So Cal Gas in Santa Clarita also provides an energy survey to help you learn how you can save. You can then set and achieve your conservation and savings goals based on your results. In addition, your bill will also see an upgrade, providing bill alerts to actively let you know how you're using gas in your home. You'll no longer have to wait for your monthly bill. Usage will be sent directly to the billing center, allowing you to see things in real-time so there are no surprises.
When visiting So Cal Gas's site, you have the ability to enter your ZIP code in order to find out when your neighborhood may be upgraded to the new meters. Please be sure to clear any obstructions like shrubs or plants that may hinder the installation.
Also, if your meter is behind a locked gate, or in a place where you keep a dog, call the Advanced Meter Customer Information Center at 1-877-268-6211 to make access arrangements. They are open Monday through Friday between the hours of 7AM and 8PM.

Normal red blood cells have a 120-day

sickle cell disease have
sickle-shaped blood cells that usually live no more
than 20 days. These sickled cells can get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow.
Less blood flow can damage
the body's organs, muscles, and bones, sometimes leading to life-threatening
conditions. Sickle cell disease may cause problems such as:
When a child is born with sickle cell disease, it's
impossible to predict which problems will develop, when they will start, or how
bad they will be. During the first 6 months of life, infants have a high level
fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in their blood, which protects
them from red blood cell sickling. But dangerous complications of sickle cell
disease may quickly develop between ages 6 months and 5 years, after levels of
fetal hemoglobin decrease.
Older children and adults with sickle cell disease may have few problems,
or they may have a pattern of ongoing complications that shortens their lives. The most
common and serious problems caused by sickle cell disease are anemia, pain, and
organ failure. Stroke affects around 10% of children with sickle cell
Other complications of sickle

Fifth Circuit Reverses District Court's Decision on Whooping Cranes
NEW ORLEANS, June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Monday, June 30, reversed the judgment of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in The Aransas Project v. Shaw. The Fifth Circuit agreed with the defendants that the plaintiff failed to prove its case that diversions of water for use by Texans had led to multiple deaths of federally protected whooping cranes in the winter of 2008.
A lawsuit against the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) initiated by a group wielding the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) to bring a halt to water permitting on the Guadalupe and San Antonio rivers by alleging multiple deaths of the endangered whooping cranes that winter on the Texas coast led the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) to intervene as a defendant. With only two whooping crane carcasses and two partial carcasses found during 2008-2009, no evidence supported the double-digit losses claimed by the plaintiffs.
Yet, on March 11, 2013, federal district court Judge Janis Graham Jack "adopted verbatim TAP's proposed findings of fact" and held that the TCEQ caused the deaths of the whooping cranes by issuing water permits that resulted in diverting water from the cranes and ordered TCEQ to immediately stop issuing water permits on the Guadalupe and San Antonio rivers. The judge also ordered a costly planning process that is duplicative of current state programs.
During the Fifth Circuit hearing, GBRA's appellate attorney Aaron Streett of the firm Baker Botts LLP argued that TAP failed to prove proximate cause as a matter of law because the chain of causation from permit holder to alleged harm to the cranes was too attenuated to constitute proximate cause. The Fifth Circuit agreed finding "Nowhere does the court [District Court] explain why the remote connection between water licensing, decisions to draw river water by hundreds of users, whooping crane habitat, and crane deaths that occurred during a year of extraordinary drought compels ESA liability…the court's ambiguous conclusion cannot be sustained."
The Fifth Circuit panel that consisted of judges Edith Jones, Jerry Smith and Emilio Garza agreed, "We conclude that the district court's opinion misapplies proximate cause analysis and further, even if proximate cause had been proven, the injunction is an abuse of discretion. The judgment is reversed."
"This ruling shows that the panel scrutinized the causation argument and recognized the flaws that were ignored by the lower court," Bill West, Jr., GBRA's general manager said.
Because of today's ruling, the district court's injunction stopping the State of Texas from issuing water permits for the affected basins cannot be enforced. West said that GBRA is confident that none of its responsible water projects, which are essential to ensuring adequate water for a growing population, have any negative consequences on the whooping-crane flock that visits Texas each winter, and is at the forefront of ensuring a healthy habitat for the whooping cranes. "This judgment removes a cloud over our water resource projects, and we will be working with our partners and the state to bring those projects to fruition," he added.
The Fifth Circuit's judgment means the state of Texas will be able to continue to issue responsible permits for water projects, Streett said, explaining, "Plaintiffs will not be permitted to use the ESA to blame the state or water users for alleged harms caused by weather conditions such as drought."
The Fifth Circuit panel also noted that the whooping crane population continues to increase right along with the state's growing human population and its increasing water usage. According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service information on its Aransas National Wildlife Refuge website (dated Feb. 15, 2013), the 2012-2013 winter whooping crane survey indicated analyses of data showed 257 whooping cranes inhabited the primary wintering grounds and 22 more outside of the primary grounds. The site (dated March 17, 2014) further indicated that the winter 2013-2014 whooping crane survey analyses estimated 304 whooping cranes inhabited the survey area.
GBRA was established by the Texas Legislature in 1933 as a water conservation and reclamation district. GBRA provides stewardship for the water resources in its 10-county statutory district, which begins near the headwaters of the Guadalupe and Blanco rivers, ends at San Antonio Bay, and includes Kendall, Comal, Hays, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria, Calhoun, and Refugio counties. GBRA provides services that include hydroelectric generation; water and wastewater treatment; municipal, industrial, and agricultural raw water supply; and recreational operations.

A leading U.S. senator suggested last night (Tuesday) that the New York Times and other news organisations publishing the U.S. embassy cables, being released by WikiLeaks, could be investigated for breaking American espionage laws.
Joe Lieberman, the chair of the Senate homeland security committee, told Fox News: "To me the New York Times has committed at least an act of, at best, bad citizenship, but whether they have committed a crime is a matter of discussion for the justice department."
Lieberman also said the department of justice should indict Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, under the 1917 Espionage Act and try to extradite him from the U.K.
Most serious violation of Espionage Act: Lieberman
Asked why this had not happened, Lieberman admitted there was probably an argument going on over how to charge Assange.
"I think this is the most serious violation of the Espionage Act in our history," Lieberman said, adding: "It sure looks to me that Assange and WikiLeaks have violated the Espionage Act."
At the daily state department briefing in Washington, DC, P.J. Crowley, the department's press spokesman, said: "What WikiLeaks has done is a crime under US law."
Mr. Assange has been at the centre of an international row since WikiLeaks released a huge tranche of U.S. embassy cables, in conjunction with five news organisations including the New York Times, at the beginning of last week.
WikiLeaks gave the entire collection of cables to Der Spiegel, El Pais, Le Monde and the Guardian, and the Guardian shared its documents with the New York Times.
"The New York Times has not been contacted by anyone in law enforcement", said a spokeswoman from the paper.
Yesterday, in London, Mr. Assange was remanded in custody in a separate case, relating to rape charges against him in Sweden.
Assange's arrest 'good news'
Robert Gates, the U.S. defence secretary, welcomed Mr. Assange's arrest.
Speaking to reporters on a visit to U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Mr. Gates said: "I hadn't heard that, but that sounds like good news to me." WikiLeaks faces increasing problems in continuing to operate. Today, Visa said it had suspended all payments to the organisation "pending further investigation", while MasterCard said it was "taking action to ensure that WikiLeaks can no longer accept MasterCard-branded products".
Mr. Assange defended the leak of the embassy cables in an article in the Australian yesterday, saying: "The swirling storm around WikiLeaks today reinforces the need to defend the right of all media to reveal the truth."
Meanwhile, Colonel Dave Lapan, a spokesman for the U.S. department of defence, said there were indications of foreign powers "pulling back" from their dealings with America since the leaking of the cables.
Lapan declined to cite any specific examples, the Associated Press news agency reported, including whether foreign officials had said they would no longer trust the U.S. with their secrets, but told reporters that "believing the U.S. is not good at keeping secrets ... certainly changes things," and that "generally, there has been a retrenchment" in cooperation.

Montgomery County, Md., public-school officials have developed an early-warning system that could alert educators that a student is at risk of dropping out of school -- as early as the second semester of first grade. Under the system, educators examine attendance, behavior and academic data of students in the spring of first grade and fall of third, sixth and ninth grades. Officials say they are not yet using the data system to track individual students in real-time.

Legal requirements
Accounting rules
When starting a business, you must maintain accounting records. This applies to all types and sizes of companies.
Bookkeeping is a system for arranging and managing economic activities (business activities) in a company.
In practical terms, bookkeeping means that you retain receipts, invoices and other documents in order to record and report them in chronological and logical (account-based) order.
Bookkeeping gives you the necessary financial information about the company. It helps you to make financial decisions to steer the company's development in the right direction at the right time.
Bookkeeping also forms the basis for taxing the business. It is where you obtain the details that go on your income tax return.
You must submit an invoice when you sell goods or services to legal entities and entrepreneurs. You must invoice continuously, preferably in direct conjunction with the delivery. Invoices are supporting documents that form the basis for your financial reporting and should be numbered in chronological order.
Annual accounts
When the financial year comes to an end, it is time to draw up your annual accounts or annual report. All companies must prepare some type of annual accounts or annual report at the end of the financial year.
The annual accounts are a summary and closure of the ongoing accounts for the financial year. The summary takes the form of a profit and loss account and a balance sheet.
The profit and loss account should provide an indicative result for the period, i.e. the financial year. The balance sheet is a summary of the company's assets, liabilities and equity as of the accounting cut-off date.
Annual report
An annual report comprises a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet and a management report. The auditors must also review the annual report and produce an audit report.
Administrative procedures
Content of accounting records
The company's accounting records should consist of:
- supporting documents;
- day book and general ledger;
- income statements and balance sheets;
- annual accounts, and in some cases an annual report.
An invoice should contain details of the seller's and the buyer's services:
- the date on which the invoice was submitted;
- a serial number uniquely identifying the invoice;
- what has been supplied/provided (nature and scope);
- the date on which the goods or services were provided;
- the unit price or total price;
- the price excluding VAT (basis for calculating VAT);
- VAT rate and amount of VAT payable;
- name and address of the vendor and the buyer;
- vendor's corporate identification number (VAT registration number);
- in the case of VAT exemption, a reference to this provision;
- possession of the corporation tax card (F-skattesedel).
- More on invoicing
Annual report: different rules for different types of companies
The rules for accounts and reports vary for different types of company and also depend on the size of the business.
A sole trading company must prepare annual accounts at the end of the financial year. If turnover amounts to no more than SEK 3 million then simplified annual accounts can be prepared.
A partnership with only natural persons (individuals) as partners must prepare annual accounts at the end of the financial year. If turnover amounts to no more than SEK 3 million then simplified annual accounts can be prepared. Partnerships with one or more legal persons as co-owners must always have an approved or authorised auditor and must submit an annual report to the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket).
Limited companies must always have an auditor and prepare an annual report for submission to the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The auditor must be approved or authorised. From 1 November 2010 onwards, small limited companies can choose not to have auditors.
An economic association must always have an auditor and prepare an annual report. The auditor must have sufficient knowledge and experience of accounting and financial matters to carry out a good audit. The annual report must be submitted to the Swedish Companies Registration Office if requested.
- Who should submit an annual report to the Swedish Companies Registration Office?
- Submitting annual reports
Unlike annual accounts, annual reports are public documents. The Swedish Companies Registration Office is the authority that collects and registers companies' annual reports.
More information on bookkeeping is available in the National Tax Board's (Skatteverket) brochure "Bookkeeping, annual accounts and tax returns".

The managing directors of Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow airports have come together to once again urge Chancellor George Osborne to conduct a full and thorough review of APD and recognise the damaging impact it is having on Scotland's economy and connectivity.
The report, commissioned by the three airports, was unveiled at the inaugural meeting of the Scottish Parliament's Cross Party Group on Aviation which was held on Wednesday 31 October 2012. In addition to costing Scotland over two million passengers per annum, the report warns that by 2016 APD will cost the Scottish economy up to £210 million in lost tourism spend per annum.
The UK Government has significantly increased rates and restructured APD since 2007. Rates for short haul travel have increased by around 160% with long haul rates increasing by between 225% and 360%. This has been done at a time, latterly, when Scotland and the rest of the UK have been experiencing one of the worst recessions in living memory.
The report also confirms that the UK is out of step with its European counterparts when it comes to aviation tax, with many Governments reducing (Spain, Ireland) or abolishing (Netherlands) APD in order to support their indigenous airlines. There also seems to be a recognition within a number of countries that have tried an aviation duty in recent years that the damage to the industry and its ability to generate prosperity and drive wider economic growth is not worth the tax revenue raised.
Given its location on the periphery of Europe, Scotland and its economy is particularly reliant on aviation and any loss of connectivity will have a significant impact on the country's competitiveness.
Derek Provan, managing director of Aberdeen Airport, said: "This report shows, quite simply, that APD is damaging Scotland. It is damaging our economy, our tourism potential and our ability as a nation to bounce back from the recession. It limits our opportunities for growth in the employment market, costing as much as £50 million in the process.
"At Aberdeen Airport we run a real risk of losing around 200,000 passengers by 2016 through this damaging tax. Each recent increase in APD has had a dramatic impact upon what we, as airports, have achieved and could have achieved without APD. It is imperative that the UK government undertake a detailed and comprehensive review into APD with the utmost urgency, and at the very least freeze APD whilst that is taking place."
Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport said: "This tax has now hit its tipping point where the damage that it is doing to Scotland far outweighs the benefits. This cannot stand and must be reviewed as a matter of urgency.
"The impact of this tax goes far beyond the boundaries of the airport, not just in Scotland, but across the world. Airlines are telling us that they are seeing it have an impact on passenger flows which is ultimately having an impact on their decision making on where to put planes.
"This report lays bare the argument that this tax is assisting with the deficit. Rather, APD is hindering our ability to tackle the economic challenges Scotland faces.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "Together with the wider aviation industry, we have made repeated representations to the UK Government on APD which, as this report confirms, will continue to damage Scottish aviation by making routes unviable and decimating Scotland's links to the rest of the world.
"Due to the size of the market in Scotland, we will always find it difficult to attain and sustain new routes and this situation is compounded even further by APD which simply serves to artificially depress demand and dissuade airlines from basing aircraft here.
"Unless APD is reformed, people travelling to and from Scotland - who must fly due to the lack of feasible alternatives - will continue to face some of the highest levels of taxation in Europe which is clearly a disincentive to travel."
Colin Keir MSP, Convenor of the Cross Party Group on Aviation, said: "This report shows why Air Passenger Duty must be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. It's a damning indictment of the current Westminster government policy on aviation.
"While other countries have scrapped or have significantly reduced levels of APD, travellers to and from Scotland are heavily penalised. APD hits tourism and business and we need to have the power at Holyrood to maintain competitiveness with other countries and fairness to those travellers who have to use our airports."
High five as passenger growth continues

Through trial and error over the past 6 years I've learned to fix obvious technical flaws (such as wrong grips, etc...) but allow him to learn via his own internal logic.
I often ask him how the ball and or racket felt at impact. For example on a kick serve practice session last week he told me he felt like he was carving up , down and around the ball. Throwing it in the way he saw the shot he wanted to hit.
I discovered if I can with small nudges and comments towards a desired form he learns it faster. A small comment like hit the outside of the ball on cross court fhs worked instantly while prior I had him focusing on footwork to get to the ball properly he was stagnating. He had a tendency to run too fast to his fhs on the run. And ended up out of position and too close to the ball. One cue to hit the outside of the ball going cross court had him instantly hit a repeatable ball and he was in position much easier without over running it and getting too close.
I now just try to stay out of the way as much as I can and he is turning into a really good player. No real flaws in his game.

Protesters forced to scale back Thai PM march
By Nopporn Wong-Anan
BANGKOK (Reuters) – Campaigners trying to oust Thai Prime
Minister Thaksin Shinawatra were forced to scale back their
protests on Friday after the royal palace made it clear they
must stop dragging the king into a long-running political
Having originally planned a pro-monarchy, anti-Thaksin
march of tens of thousands, the ad hoc People's Alliance for
Democracy (PAD) coalition mustered just 200 protesters outside
the British and U.S embassies.
"We submit a letter to these embassies to tell their
citizens that we don't want Thailand to return to dictatorship
and Thaksin is not a democracy defender," said rally leader
Somsak Kosaisuk.
Playing on Thais' extreme reverence for 78-year-old King
Bhumibol Adulyadej, the PAD has accused telecoms billionaire
Thaksin of undermining the crown, in addition to cronyism and
abuse of power — all charges he denies.
However, Thaksin stoked the controversy this month when he
alleged "charismatic individuals" were looking to oust him by
"unconstitutional means," a remark Thai media and analysts took
as a thinly veiled attack on top royal adviser Prem
But in a speech on Monday, another senior royal aide made
it clear the PAD should stop playing the "royal card" and
dragging the monarch into the political mess left by April's
inconclusive — and subsequently annulled — general election.
Amid mounting speculation about pro-Thaksin and pro-palace
factions within the armed forces, former Prime Minister Prem
told 700 army cadets on Friday it was the military's duty to
serve the monarch, not the government and politicians of the
"We are soldiers of the nation, soldiers of His Majesty the
King," said 85-year-old Prem, who also used to be Armed Forces
Commander. "Government doesn't own us."
After annulling the April 2 poll, which failed to produce a
result due to an opposition boycott, the courts have come under
pressure to navigate a way out of a deadlock stemming
ultimately from a PAD street campaign against Thaksin.
However, the judges have made little headway amid a flurry
of lawsuits from all sides. A new election has been pencilled
in for October 15, but the opposition and many political
analysts think it will have to be pushed back.

Marketing Through Technology Requires Strategic Integration, Says Business Leader Mark Vena
Although technology—and its role in marketing—have quickly shifted the paradigm in which businesses develop, some established brands caution against using these resources blindly. Marketing professional Mark Vena discusses proper integration.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 03, 2013
As a marketing and business development professional, Mark Vena understands that trends are what drive advertising; however, he explains that there is one trend that can both help and hurt a company's branding efforts—technology. He explains that while modern technology offers a great amount of exceptional resources to today's business leader and marketing teams, it may not always be necessary. In fact, overuse or improper implementation of a technology-based marketing tactic could even alienate a brand from its core consumer audience. Noting this risk, Vena points to a recent article from Media360 that reveals how historic pharmacy chain, Boots UK, handles the emergence of new technology in marketing.
Following a similar sentiment of Mark Vena, Elizabeth Fagan, marketing director of Boots UK, tells Media360, "Don't just use a technology because it's new; but because it'll strategically move your business forward and give customers great experience." According to Media360, Fagan denounces the use of technology just for technology's sake, although she does note that it can be use strategically for business development.
For instance, while Fagan explains that she is open to the use of data—made accessible through analytics and other modern resources—for market research, Boots UK has not yet established a Twitter account. She explains that the latter is not necessary until a brand can truly contribute to a conversation on the platform. Fagan states, "While technology offered new channels for brands to communicate, at its core Boots' marketing has changed little since the 1800s. She drew parallels between the principles upon which Boots was established in the 19th century by Jesse Boot, and the way it connects with its customers today."
While Mark Vena believes that technology must be used strategically in terms of business development and marketing efforts, he does believe that brands should not shy away from these resources. Vena states, "Businesses must boldly and aggressively comprehend consumer behavior shifts in their go to market strategies to maximize their success in the market." Vena adds that utilizing new technology does not have to be destructive to a brand that took decades to build.
Although many companies are aware of the modern resources that have become available to them through technology, some business leaders may wonder which platforms make the most sense. Mark Vena answers in his conclusion, "Mobile technology and always connected devices have become the preferred the usage model for the vast majority of today's consumer and enterprise users today."
Mark Vena is a professional who has, since starting his career, followed an upward trajectory every step of the way. A wonderful example of a leader and professional role model, Vena has taken the time to cultivate his own skills and help his teams to develop their professional capabilities. As a global marketing, product management, and technology executive, Vena has had to learn how to adapt to changing work environments while using key best practices to develop and implement strategic initiatives. Over the course of his career he has worked for some of the biggest names in the technology field, including Dell and Compaq. Today, he is continuing to build his expertise in the field while sharing his insight with up and coming professionals.

As more and more applications are developed and consumers continue to be led by social media, could it be that instead of HTML5 driven websites, 2011 will become all about developing enhanced presences on Facebook for your business?
It seems online retailer ASOS certainly have that thought in their mind. They have announced that they will launch a fully transactional Facebook shop, allowing people to buy from its entire range from within the social network. It is thought that the ASOS Facebook app will be one of the first, certainly from a big brand, that will allow people to buy directly from a brand without leaving Facebook. In the past Facebook apps have been used as a shop-front for sales, directing customers interested in products through to the brand's main website to carry out transactions. This however, will lower clicks, improving conversion rates and also keep customers within the same social network environment.
With changes in data usage and charges by mobile phone networks in the past year, the mobile shopping experience has probably not progressed as quickly as many may have expected. However, with many of those same networks including 'free unlimited' usage of applications like Facebook, transactions within a Facebook store like this could technically be free to customers, removing one of the biggest barriers to mobile ecommerce take-up.
ASOS says it will have its entire stock – which is ever growing at the rate of 1,300 products each week – on the Facebook store. The app will also allow for 'peer-review' of products with like buttons and comments being enabled to assist customers in making their purchasing decisions.
As a customer of ASOS from its very early beginnings I am for one am certainly looking forward to seeing how it works and if it will change the way people do ecommerce.
Would you consider buying via a Facebook application? Would you consider using a Facebook application to sell your goods?

2157 Tasting Notes
There are iced teas that taste pretty good but as I drink them (and maybe as they warm slightly) they become overwhelming. Not bitter or astringent or anything, just too much, and I have to stop drinking them before I reach the end. This was one of those teas. It turned out pretty well, but it was a little too much. Probably would go for half the leaf for a cold steep and have it be lighter.
Another sample from MissB! Thanks again!
This tea smells very clovey, but not in a hot-cinnamon-spice way, more like whole cloves, which of course there are many of in this blend. As it cools more, I'm getting a more balanced spiciness. I do get a sense of gingerbread from this, which is nice. A very spicy gingerbread, haha. I will say that the base is a little thin; a common problem with flavored dessert teas. Overall pretty tasty, and I'm glad I got a chance to try it out.
I have to say that this tea SMELLED really tasty. I do love a spiced apple cider, and this seemed like it would be a nice blend. In fact, it is overall fairly tasty but there is just a hint of fake-ness to the apple component. It really reminds me of the taste of powdered instant apple cider, rather than fresh cider. I could definitely use more spices (ginger where?), but my main problem here is that it just came out bitter. And somehow, while being bitter, the flavor of the base tea was MIA. Oh well, thanks for the sample, MissB!
It's a cold, snowy day, and there's nothing to do but sit around and drink tea. Oh well ;)
I brought this one home to cold brew but there was another serving left in the package, so I had a pot this afternoon. It always astounds me when I sniff the dry leaf on these teas, how mouthwatering they really are. Mmmmm baked goods. This was a lovely sweet and coconutty tea for the afternoon, and I certainly enjoyed it!
I forgot I had some of this tea. I ordered a sample of this with my Black Friday order, and the sample pouch came open in the mail, so I salvaged what I could out of the box (and picked out bits of packing peanut haha) and stuck it in a small empty tin I had lying around. The other day I opened the tin and was surprised to see it in there!
So I brewed it up (had to pick out a few more peanut reminants). This is quite a delicous tea, and I understand when people say it reminds them of Laoshan Black. It's definitely chocolatey, malty, and honeyed, though I find it slightly lighter and sweeter than LB. It also has some bready roasted-oolong notes going on that suit it well. Very nice, and I'm glad I was able to salvage enough to try it out finally!
I asked for a sample of this tea from MissB because the description was so intriguing. I do end up a little confused since the ingredients list is only "black tea". Based on the flavors within I am assuming it is an unflavored blend of various black teas, but I would love to know what they were. It's honestly the type of thing that keeps me from ordering such a tea because I don't really know what's in it. "Black tea" is not a thing; every black tea is a varietal, and while it may not mean much to some of your customers, it means quite a lot to others. Even just saying "China" versus "India" or "Sri Lanka" can communicate a lot more information (for instance, I generally stay away from Indian teas).
Anyway, with that rant over, this is a lovely tea. Very chocolatey… it reminds me a bit of a Fengqing black dragon pearl, though not pearled, obviously. There are bright fruity notes and I do think they come across as a tart, fresh cherry. There is a bit of hay and the robustness of malt. Very smooth, very tasty. Thanks for the sample, MissB!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm updating it right now :) And by the way, It's Yunnan Dian Hong and Fujian Xiao Zhong :)
Thanks so much! It's awesome when a tea company interacts with it's customers and take suggestions. It was a great tea, I'm glad to know what's in it. :)
Glad you liked it! I can't imagine running a tea business and not interacting with the customers and getting feedback – that's 95% of the fun! :D
Oh and since you liked this one, you might also be interested in Golden Orchid. Golden Orchid is this tea with organic vanilla beans. It's REALLY yummy!
Finally brought in a thermometer and have found out that it is 53°F in my office. Not acceptable!
Have to warm up with tea. Fortunately I have a sample of this one from MissB! I almost bought a tin of this at TJ Maxx when it was around and I wondered if I would regret not picking it up. Well, this is quite tasty, but I'm not completely broken up about not having a tin of it. I have a number of mango teas around right now anyway. But I'm not saying that I wouldn't pick up a tin if I happened across one again. :)
Now this is a tea. I can tell because when I smelled the brewed tea it smelled like TEA and not just flavoring.
Thanks to MissB for a sample of this one, which I had been curious about. Even though I knew it was chocolate, orange, marshmallow, somehow the bright, citrusy, fruity orange surprised me when I took a sip. It's nice and authentic. The chocolate flavor is relatively light (but bolstered a bit by the Zhen Qu), and I'm afraid I don't get any marshmallow, but maybe that's just a hard flavor for me to pick out. It does come out in the aftertaste a bit. It's nice, I enjoy it, I'm not bowled over. But I would take this over the other desserty teas I've had recently any day because it has a nice body and depth that you only really get with a high quality tea base.
I did have this cold brewed yesterday, and it was pretty tasty. But I don't know that it was super passion fruit-y… for most of it, I had somehow convinced myself it was an Earl Grey blend that I had cold steeped. Um, nope. I guess it was just a kind of generically fruity cold brew, albeit quite a tasty one.
Holy cinnamon! Definitely that's what I get from this tea (sample graciously provided by MissB). Lots and lots of cinnamon.
As it cools, it gets sweeter. Must be the "bits"! A bit of creamy icing comes out, and perhaps a bit of breadiness, but it remains kind of thin and lackluster in flavor. I mean, it's drinkable, it's decently tasty, but it just doesn't do it for me. I can think of so many nice bready black teas that would be awesome with this (or maybe a bready, moderately roasted oolong!) instead of this tasteless black base. As before, my experience with Della Terra is all flavoring, no tea. Well, this is why I wanted (small!) samples of a bunch of them, to try a wider range of them without committing to their (rather too large for me) samplers.
