Bill Would Keep Florida on Daylight-Saving Time Permanently
It's been more than a month since we fell back to standard time, but if you're like most, you still probably haven't gotten used to the sky getting dark so early. Well, consider state Rep. Kristin Jacobs your new hero. The Broward County Democrat has introduced a bill that would keep Florida on daylight-saving time (DST) year-round.
Because of its southern location, Florida has less use for DST than northern states. The lengths of our days remain relatively consistent throughout the year as it is. The result, especially in the southernmost portions of the state like Miami, is that half of the year it gets dark soon after you get home from work, and during the rest of the year, you get a little more light before bedtime.
Dubbed the Sunshine Protection Act, the bill reads, "As the 'Sunshine State,' Florida should be kept sunny year-round... daylight saving time shall be the year-round standard time of the entire state and all of its political subdivisions."
Opposition to switching clocks twice a year is nothing new in Florida.

In 2008, state Sen. Bill Posey pushed a bill that would have eliminated DST in Florida and kept it on standard time instead. It made some headway in the state Senate, but ultimately lawmakers decided they liked that extra hour of sunlight in the afternoon during the summer months.
In 2014, Sen. Darren Soto, a Central Florida Democrat, introduced a bill similar to the one Jacobs has now introduced. It would have kept Florida on DST year-round. The bill ended up dying in committee.
Individual states have the power to decide whether they went to follow DST. However, Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that don't follow the practice. Subtropical territories including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Marianas also ignore DST.
If the bill passed, Florida would be the only state that used DST year-round.
Though an extra hour of sunlight during the evening may be nice — and attractive to tourists — a shift would mean that Florida would be out of sync with the rest of the East Coast for about five months of the year.

The Assay Office is a historic building at 210 Main Street in Boise, Idaho. It is significant for its role in the history of mining in Idaho, and was the first major federal government building in the Idaho Territory. During the first half of the 1860s, Idaho's gold production was the third highest in the nation. Due to the difficulty of transporting bulky, heavy ores the long distance to the nearest U.S. Mint in San Francisco, there was great demand for an assaying office in Idaho.[3] Gold and other precious metals are not mined in a pure form. In order to place a value on an ore, the precious metal must be separated from the impurities. This is what an assay office does.[4]
The building[edit]
In 1869, Congress appropriated $75,000 to build an assay office in Boise, Idaho. The city block site bounded by Main, First, Idaho and Second was donated by Alexander Rossi, a prominent citizen of Boise. Ground was broken in 1870, and the building was completed in 1871. The builder was John R. McBride, Chief Justice of Idaho. The building featured a cupola for ventilation and the interior doors were equipped with iron cages. The first floor of the building held the assayers offices, vaults and safes, assaying and melting rooms (furnaces), laboratory and reagents storage. The second floor was devoted to living quarters for the chief assayer. There was a parlor, pantry, dining room, kitchen and three bedrooms. The basement housed fuel and supply rooms, guards' quarters and wells.[3]
All equipment was finally in place by the time of the first assay on March 2, 1872. Builder John R. McBride was appointed Superintendent of the Assay Office. Alexander Rossi, who donated the land, was temporary Chief Assayer.[4] By this time, mining was in a slump due to the playing out of surface mines. This slump lasted about a decade until further gold strikes were made in the northern part of the state. In 1887, the advent of the railroad in Idaho and an influx of capital made deep mining possible.[3] A few years after opening, the Assay Office had begun purchasing gold on behalf of the U.S. government.[5] By 1895, deposits were over one million dollars. For the next eleven years they averaged over one and a half million dollars per year.[3] Renovations on the building in 1889 and 1890 included a new fence, new floors, a hot and cold water system and electric lights.
Subsequent uses[edit]
The Assay Office closed in 1933 and the building was turned over to the United States Forest Service for use as offices. Renovations at that time included removing the iron bars from the windows, adding windows to the back wall, removal of the vaults and assaying furnaces and rearrangement of partitions. The Assay Office was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961, recognizing its significant role in the state's development.[2][3] In 1972 the building was turned over to the Idaho State Historical Society.[3] It currently houses the State Historical Preservation Office and the Archaeological Survey of Idaho.[6]

Life changer
My health was in shambles before I met Dr. Sinha. I was going to a doctor at Johns Hopkins that was more interested in pushing pills than helping me. On my first appt with Dr. Sinha he and his team spent over an hour with me discussing my COMPLETE medical history 10+ years back. He invited me to do an EEG for several days to induce a seizure to get a full idea of my issue. Ever since then things have been sailing smooth. There are no unanswered questions and now I think he knows me better than myself. For as busy as he is unbelievably "connected" as he always returns calls the day of, and listens to everything I have to say and/or answers any questions I have. This man is a total Game changer... He's down to earth, whitty, and brillIant. A great man all together.

Who We Are
Mekanagadde Homestay is one of the traditional homestays located between Chikmagalur and Sakleshpur, the hills of the magnificent Western Ghats run across and around the Mekanagadde region. Originally the vast acres of land were used for cultivation and farming purposes. The family owning this farm land converted the traditional houses of their ancestors to homestays when a bunch of young Japanese visited them in early 2000s and expressed their joy in staying at such a wonderful place. Once a dense cardamom plantation area, in the recent past it has been converted in coffee plantation area. This adds on to the memorable experience of living amidst the beautiful coffee estate.

Saturday afternoon at Chambord
When Chris P. and I got to Chambord Saturday afternoon, it wasn't nearly as crowded as I had thought it might be. There were plenty of people, but the stroll around the castle was very pleasant.
We sat down on the terrace at the Hôtel St-Michel to enjoy the view of the château and watch the people walk by. We were about the only people seated on the terrace, and the service was quick and friendly. The sun kept peeking out from behind big clouds and there was little wind, so the weather felt almost warm. Chris had a small café-crème and I had a glass of white wine from the nearby Cour Cheverny appelation.
One of the people-watching experiences we enjoyed was seeing a bride a groom walk by, accompanied by their attendants. I suppose they were going out to a position where they could have their picture taken with the château de Chambord as the backdrop.
That was just the first wedding we saw Saturday afternoon. The second was a big family affair, with several generations in attendance. I think I'll save the pictures of that group for tomorrow...
It's raining again this morning and the Indre (20 miles south of Saint-Aignan) and Vézère (in Dordogne) rivers are flooding today. The local Sauldre and Cher rivers are very full, and several small streams we crossed over on a drive yesterday afternoon were out of their banks.

i don't love the shiny white french palaces as well as the craggy gray british ones, but this one is something else. with sunshine, yet. and brides and grooms and a cafe and a balcony from which to watch it all. wow. (love those size 13 pale grey winklepickers the groom is wearing. bonne chance, dude.)ReplyDelete

I agree with chm and yes, we are older now Ken;-)ReplyDelete
Purejuice said the pointy shoes the men are wearing are called "winklepickers" which is such a funny name. I don't think I've ever eaten a winkle or seen a winklepicker. At least the long toe space leaves plenty of room for one's toes...
Thanks for the wedding photos, the guests were lucky to have no rain.

Like Borges' "Library of Babel", the seemingly endless rooms and hallways in the old house felt like a metaphor for the invisible, internal labyrinths, which the band explores lyrically and sonically on their new album.

The discourse constructing a queer representative with LGBT identity embodies subversive queer rebellion grounding interdependence between advertisers, stars, and audiences in commercial television. Considering her media roles for American Express, CoverGirl, and J.C. Penney, as well as a daytime talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres expresses queerness, queer moments, and space in accordance with anti-heteronormativity described by Alexander Doty. In the mainstream advertising, using LGBT subculture texts is a strategy for advertisers to target mass heterosexual consumers, while simultaneously not to alienate homosexual communities. In U.S. daytime television programming, The Ellen DeGeneres Show emblematizes identity declaration of Ellen's coming out episodes in 1997 and embodies entertaining segments in terms of a coming out party through talking, dancing, and liberating. In audience reception, viewers are empowered by a moment of pleasure, sympathy, and liberation in relation to DeGeneres' queer performance in the media. Ellen DeGeneres, as a queer representative, signifies a satirical token of homonormativity to negotiate heteronormative media narratives in the mainstream media.

PROF. ERIC BETTINGER STANFORD UNIVERSITY, NBER Postsecondary Remediation: How can we serve the needs of Underprepared Students?
The Academic Gatekeeper: Remedial & Developmental Postsecondary Courses 2 Lack of academic preparation is a significant barrier to college success – How should we address this problem? Nationally approx. 40% of 1 st year students are placed into college remediation (55-60% at CCs) The bulk of remediation is provided at non-selective publics colleges & universities, the point of entry for 80% of 4yr students and 99% of 2yr students The remediation placement exam taken once arriving on campus has become the key gatekeeper to a college-level education (often a surprise to students)
3 CUNY phased remediation out of its 4yrs (1999) "CUNY university system currently devotes far too much money and effort to teaching skills that students should have learned in high school." Debates about Remediation CSU: Fall 2001 "kicked out more than 2,200 students – nearly 7% of the freshman class – for failing to master basic English and math skills." Proponents : opportunities for underprepared, many of whom did not have the chance to take in HS Critics : Provides disincentives for high school students; Double dipping; Not the appropriate place $1 Billion each year at publics (conservative estimate)
The Continuing Debates about Remediation … 4 CT and AZ do not allow remediation at publics 8 states, incl. FL and IL, restrict remediation to 2yrs VA: Some High Schools "guarantee" their diplomas – pay remedial expenses of their students FL: Legislature elected to have students pay the full (unsubsidized) cost of their remediation (4 times the regular tuition) Limits on funding of remediation: CA, TX, TN, & UT
Difficulties in Studying Remediation 5 Comparisons are Different. How do you compare remedial to non-remedial students? Historically, researchers focused on descriptive studies often without looking at college outcomes. Policies are Often Inconsistent True over time and true across schools Heterogeneity in Remediation Among students Among class offerings Lack of Data
Why Don't Raw Comparisons Work? 6 Dramatic Differences Between Remedial and Non- Remedial Students Average ACT Scores Ohio 4-Year Colleges Math: 23.3 for Non-Remedial, 17.4 for Remedial English: 22.8 vs. 15.8 Reading: 23.8 vs. 16.9 Average HS GPA Math: 3.3 vs. 2.5; English: 3.4 vs. 2.8 5-year Dropout Rate 31 Percent for Non-Remedial; 66 Percent for Math Remediation; 67 Percent for English Remediation
How Inconsistent are the Policies? 7 Ohio Non-Selective Colleges
How Inconsistent are the Policies? 8 Ohio Non-Selective Colleges
How Inconsistent are the Policies? 9 Ohio 2-Year Colleges
How Heterogeneous are the Students? 10
Heterogeneity Among Students 11 Recommended Curricula Bottom Half: practice and apply estimation and computation using whole numbers and decimals choose the appropriate method of computation to solve multistep problems (e.g., calculator, mental, or pencil and paper) calculate length of a line Top Half: solve routine arithmetic problems that involve rates, proportions, and percents do multistep computations with rational numbers calculate area and perimeter of triangles and rectangles; use geometric formulas
Heterogeneity in Delivery 12 Almost half taught by Adjunct (31%) or Graduate Students (17%) 63% taught by non-tenure track faculty 42% taught by faculty with doctorates; 31% have masters; remaining 27% by other degrees (mostly bachelors)
Lack of Data 13 National data has low sample sizes System-wide data is important 15 percent "transfer down" 16 percent "transfer up" All of these students would look like dropouts
State Administrative Data to the Rescue 14 System-wide data from Florida, Texas, and Ohio have helped develop new strategies Identify "bubble" students Discontinuities Similar students across campuses
15 Florida Administrative Dataset Sample: All first-time, degree-seeking CC students who began in Fall 1997, 1998, 1999, or 2000 (over 100,000 records) Term-by-term transcript data through Spr 2006 All test scores (CPT, SAT, ACT) plus other controls Outcomes: passing Algebra/English 101, retention, certificate, associate degree, transfer to state 4-year college, credits earned (remedial and non-remedial)
RD Design: The Intuition Beth and Becky are observationally similar Compare the outcomes of Beth & Becky Beth and Becky both take the College Placement Test (CPT) Beth scores just above the cut-off score Becky scores just below the cut-off score Beth to college-level coursesBecky to remediation Crossover: Beth takes remediation anyway No Show: Becky never enrolls in remediation
RD Design: The Intuition Beth and Becky are observationally similar Compare the outcomes of Beth & Becky Beth and Becky both take the College Placement Test (CPT) Beth scores just above the cut-off score Becky scores just below the cut-off score Beth to college-level coursesBecky to remediation Endogenous Sorting: Beth retests to place out of remediation Crossover: Beth takes remediation anyway No Show: Becky never enrolls in remediation
18 Endogenous Sorting around the Cutoff Density of Reading CPT for Institution E Expect to see larger number who barely exceed the cutoff than those who barely failed discontinuity of the conditional density at the threshold
19 Passing First College-Level Course (negative) Figure 4: Outcome by Reading CPT Score and Estimated Discontinuity
20 Total Credits Earned (positive) Figure 4: Outcome by Reading CPT Score and Estimated Discontinuity
The Florida Remediation Study Conclusions – Overall Sample 21 Being assigned to remediation appears to increase the total number of credits completed for students on the margin of passing out of the requirement… But it does not increase the completion of college- level credits or eventual degree completion. Remediation might promote early persistence in college, but it does not necessarily help students on the margin of passing the cutoff to make long-term progress toward a degree How do these results compare to other studies?
Texas Study 22 State with a single cutoffs and placement exam RD methodology similar to Florida study Sample: students who took all three placement exams (math, reading, and writing) and passed the writing section Remediation appears to have little effect on a wide range of educational and labor market outcomes. The estimates are small and statistically insignificant but suggest that students are neither harmed nor greatly benefited by remediation
The Ohio Study 23 Nearly 66,000 first-time freshman in Fall 1998 (FT, traditional age, 4yr degree intent) for 6 years Compares observationally-similar students: one placed into remediation because his nearby college has a stringent policy while the other student does not because his school has a lax policy Students in remediation had better subsequent outcomes – Reduced the likelihood of dropping out and increases the likelihood of completing a degree Discouragement effect from certain Majors
Reconciling the Results? 24 Single placement exam and cutoff versus autonomy Different locations of the cutoff (where should it be?) Different student samples (all versus traditional- age, degree seeking) and institutions (only CCs vs. 2yrs and 4yrs) Could the effects of remediation differ by type of student?
Does remediation work for students with far less preparation? 25 The FL, OH and TX studies focus on students on the margin of needing remediation -- they do not investigate the effects of remediation on students who are extremely under-prepared (i.e. don't have an appropriate control group) The Tennessee Case Remediation at two-years and four-years Multiple cutoffs and changes in placement policy over time Can investigate the effects of different types of remediation for students of different abilities
26 Policy Implications and Remaining Questions Costs of remediation should be given careful consideration in light of the limited benefits. Explore noncompliance and retesting practices and consider potential consequences What is the best way to offer remediation? Characteristics of strong remedial programs? What are the effects of limitations states impose on remedial course-taking (e.g., only at CCs, time limits)? Early Placement Testing – a preventative measure?

Yes, it's another round of iPhone Non-News, carefully collected from around the Web to keep you up to date with all the stuff that's happening with the Apple wonder that you should know about.
Or maybe you shouldn't. Actually I would say that some of the stuff is barely happening at all. In fact, nobody was that careful collecting these either. But you know what? Who cares?! It's Friday and this martini glass right here contains three parts of tequila, two of triple-sec and one of lime juice, plus a salted rim. Today my friends, it's margaritas, sunshine and partying with my pals at Larry's yacht all day long for me... and iPhone Non-News after the jump for you.
Don't feel bad about not being invited, though. You see, many other people aren't coming to this mighty ship. Like that Fred Anderson traitor (Note to Diane: call Fred, maybe he should come and we'll play "Walk the plank" with him when we reach international waters.)
There are others too. See Al, that hippie over there playing the bongos? He just told me that Steve Ballmer won't come either because he can't bring his own ZunePhone. In fact, Al says that there won't be any ZunePhones at all. I don't know what he's smoking. I mean, who cares about the ZunePhone anyway? He also says that Steve got all fed up with us, saying that the idea of the iPhone is silly, that his Windows Mobile phones rule and that he will add Zune-like software to them. Maybe he means a Windows Mobile cellphone with music playback that will have the same raging success as the Zune. Dunno. Let me ask Al again. Hey! Gore! Yo! Can you tell me what Steve means with "we can put Zune into Windows Mobile" and "we can pour everything in?" Hey you! Treehugger! I'm talking to you!
Damn bongos.
Anyway Ballmer, those words from you just made Billy's "Zune skirting" pop into my head. And let me tell you mate, it's just not funny. Call me when you can to explain, yes? Thanks.
Another one who is not invited to the party is that MarketCircle developer dude. Somehow he hasn't learned yet that the iPhone is a closed system... but you know, maybe we will have to invite him because I like him. I do. I mean, he just said that the stuff Microsoft is saying about the iPhone is just FUD! FUD! FUD!. Check it out:
"The one thing Microsoft seems to forget is that the iPhone has the multi-tasking Mac OS X at its core. Mac OS X already trumps Microsoft's desktop OS, never mind its mobile OS. You can already read MS Word documents with Mac OS X out of the box using TextEdit. As a developer, I can tell you the .doc reading capabilities are right in Cocoa. You can open PowerPoint documents in Keynote and I'm sure Apple has something up its sleeve for Excel."
He's exactly right. As a developer you can do all that. But only if we give you the manual and the keys to Daddy's car. Hmmm... maybe I should ask Avie if he knows something we haven't told anyone yet when he comes back from the bridge. I believe he was hacking the radar a minute ago.
Anyway, Jerome just called to tell me that some more people want to party with us: seems like young users are hitting Apple's site more than anyone else lately—and it's all because of the iPhone! They'll probably never return after they see that our pages don't have embedded music and flashing multi-colored text scrolling against pink backgrounds with embossed Christina Aguileras. So if you are a teenager reading this, let me tell you one thing: piss off. This is an adult party and I am starting to get drunk already. Oh, you girls brought a bikini. Nice. OK, you can come in. Is that a G-string? Boom! You too then. Eric there will serve you all Shirley Temples.
The AT&T people won't come either because they are throwing a party of their own. Cheap and massive. In your own home too: They will grab all your data to spam the hell out of you if you want to get notified when the iPhone comes out. Enjoy the cheap beer! Or just the cheap. No beer.
Now my friends, you are probably asking yourself how to get into the A-list and join the fiesta. Well, if you really want to spend a summer on Larry's big boat with all these 18-year-olds who just came in, maybe you should think about applying to work with us as an iPhone Sales & Service representative. After all, remember that:
"As an iPhone Sales & Service Representative, you're at the core of the customer's experience. This newly created position (like a true pioneer) will fuel the iPhone revolution!"
It's a revolution! So go ahead and ring our number. We guarantee you that at least 1 out of 10,000,000 calls will get a place in Larry's sunny love cruise while the rest of you will spend a whole summer in customer support hell. Look at it this way: in any case you will have an unlimited supply of Odwala juice. Wait. Scratch all that and write "all straight to hell, no juice."
By now, maybe you are asking who will come to this party. Well, I can tell you that a few guys from the iPhone team will because I am very happy to report that we are on track to ship iPhone in late June
31st and a few just came back from Taipei. Unlike the Mac OS X guys, who will stay chained to their desk until October.

Q. My Abbey debit card expired at the end of July. Abbey says replacement cards were delayed because of the floods and postal strikes. I'm still waiting for my new debit card, two weeks into August and I'm going to close my Abbey accounts. GR, by email.
A. You eventually received your replacement card 18 days after the last one expired, leaving you unable to use cash machines to withdraw money from your account for two-and-a-half weeks. You say you were also "shocked" to find that you could use your new card without having to activate it, opening you to the risk of fraud if the card had been obtained by a third party. Abbey apologises to you and other customers for the delay, explaining that the problems were caused by the flooding of its production facilities in Tewkesbury and further delays because of postal strikes. Its spokesman says that urgent assistance will be given to any customers who still do not have their new card.
Q. My late husband and I took out a loan for a new central heating system, installed by British Gas and financed by a loan backed by life insurance. When my husband died the life insurers refused to pay out, unlike the other insurance policies backing debts. This insurer said there were problems to do with the wording on the death certificate. I am exasperated by this – it took me a year to get payments from his personal pension. I have had to restart loan repayments to British Gas, which I can't afford. LT, by email.
A. The loan was issued by the Bank of Scotland and backed by life insurance from St Andrew's Group. Your claim under this policy was rejected by St Andrew's on the grounds that medical inquiries suggested that your husband's death from multiple organ failure caused by a bleeding ulcer was related to a pre-existing condition derived from alcoholism. However, St Andrew's has reviewed your claim and accepts that it is possible that the conditions were not related. It now accepts your claim and will make a payment of £10,558.81 to British Gas to close the loan account.
Q. My Halifax Visa card was debited with £184.75 in April this year by a settlement agency for a gambling website. Three transactions were recorded for a value of $350. Halifax is investigating and has credited my account in the mean time. But I don't understand how the fraud operates. Surely the winnings should be paid to the cardholder? How can the security checks be overcome? FP, Portlaoise, Ireland.
A. APACS, which represents the banks, says that theoretically the winnings should always be paid back to the cardholder's account, though it might be possible that the online websites have been persuaded to pay winnings in another way. Our suspicion is that staff within the gambling company might be party to the fraud. Your security number may have been disclosed in a previous legitimate transaction and the information used by someone with access to these records.
Q. I paid a cheque for £44.27 into my Barclays Bank branch in Enfield in February. But the sum was never credited to my account. This caused me to go overdrawn and I was charged £60 for an unauthorised overdraft. CR, Enfield.
A. Barclays has credited your account with the lost £44.27 and the £60 overdraft charges. The problem was caused by a clerical error at the branch.
Q. I booked a hotel by credit card and cancelled the reservation in accordance with the terms of the booking. But the charge was made to my credit card account and the card issuer, Mint, refuses to credit me with the cost. JR, by email.
A. RBS, which owns Mint, is unable to credit your account as you did not retain a copy of the email you sent to the hotel and cannot prove that you cancelled the reservation. "It is a case of being unable rather than unwilling to help," says an RBS spokeswoman.
Q. BA cancelled the return leg of my Bristol-Paris-Bristol trip on the day I was due to return. Instead I had to get a flight to Heathrow, arriving at 9pm and take a taxi home, at an extra cost of £170. BA tell me this is not their responsibility. Can you help? KC, by email.
A. BA has also failed to provide any explanation to us, despite requests. However, since we made your case to BA it has refunded all your extra costs.

Relating to my own question on checking of engineering documents, I will summarize the practice in my office. We primarily design water and wastewater treatment plants for municipal/ county government agencies. Our structural design calculations are routinely checked, although the method of checking may vary - some do a detailed number-by-number check, some do a general review and "ballpark" numerical check, and in some cases an independent analysis is done. The methodology and design results are generally reviewed by a PE. Computer analyses are preferred to be cross-checked by approximate manual calculations where practical - or as a minimum I expect an experienced engineer to review the methodology, input and results of a computer analysis. Personally, I output as much useful data as possible (such as deflections, stresses and reactions for various load cases, including base load cases, etc.) to get a "feel" for the reasonableness of the computer results. Regarding drawings, all drafting redmarks are backchecked by the engineer who did the markup and a "final drawing check" is normally done when the drawings are completed to about 90% completion. Drawings are reviewed by the responsible PE; and for significant/ critical structures, the construction drawings are independently reviewed by a senior engineer. What concerns me is some work I get which is performed by subconsultants or as a result of a contractor design (such as a pre-engineered building) - which does not appear to have been checked by someone other than the preparer. Also, some architectural drawings developed by subconsultants have not appeared to have undergone a very detailed review or coordination with the structural drawings. Shouldn't all engineers and all disciplines be held to a certain minimum level of quality assurance checking? I am also concerned with the fact that our company must sometimes compete with engineering firms which may not provide the same level of checking - such that the client is not getting the same level of quality. I'm not familiar with our detailed contract language with clients, but shouldn't contracts spell out in some detail the level of quality assurance/ checking required so that engineers are competing on an equal basis? ...

Aptiv Solutions Growing: Opens New Office in North Carolina
News Dec 10, 2012
Aptiv Solutions has announced the opening of a new office in Durham, North Carolina.
The new office is located at 4505 Emperor Boulevard in the Imperial Center, an elite business park convenient to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary and Research Triangle Park.
Aptiv Solutions and its subsidiary Trio Clinical Resourcing previously resided in separate offices in Raleigh and Morrisville.
The decision to combine the offices arose from growth of staff and the desire to co-locate the North Carolina based teams.
The new office includes team members from the clinical, data management and biostatistics, regulatory, translational sciences, medical consulting, pharmacovigilance, quality assurance, proposal development, information technology, finance, business development and human resources teams for Aptiv Solutions and the Trio Clinical Resourcing team.
"We are delighted to have our Aptiv Solutions and Trio Clinical Resourcing teams all under one roof in the new Durham, North Carolina office," commented Pat Donnelly, Chairman and CEO of Aptiv Solutions.
Donnelly continued, "We continue to experience rapid growth as we expand to meet the expansion in our client base. Our new office not only accommodates our current staff levels, but allows for the anticipated future growth of our North Carolina operations".

Most girls are passionate about a few things. Shoes. Jewelry. Fabric (or is that just me?)
And bags.
So when Lisa from Gigi Hill Bags contacted me about reviewing one of her bags, there was only one acceptable answer.
Of course!
First of all, I just have to say that Lisa was wonderful to work with. She gave me lots of options of bags to choose from, and her shipping was super fast! It is always so refreshing to work with someone who takes themselves and their business seriously. (Plus, she is just nice, and that means a lot, too!)
Now let's talk bags.
At first I couldn't decide if I wanted the Katharine bag.
And then I was thinking that maybe I wanted the Delaney bag.
But I was finally able to settle on the Abbey bag.
And while I'm sure that any of these bags would have been fantastic, I have to say that I'm pretty darn pleased with the bag I chose.
Isn't it pretty?
Aside from the aesthetics of the bag, it is also quite functional! I'm one of those people who likes to carry around extra things 'just in case'. You never know when you're going to need some lotion, or hand sanitizer, or tissues, or lip gloss, or infant Tylenol, or an extra outfit for baby, or extra panties for the three year old, or extra treats if we get stuck somewhere.
Yeah, you get the picture.
Well, this bag accommodates me! It is large and has room for all of that stuff, plus my necessities (snacks, sippies, diapers, wipes, and wallet). What I loved about the bag is that it was very open and easy to get into to find what you need, but at the same time, comes with straps across to help hold it together when you're not digging around in it.
Gigi Hill offers a variety of sizes of bags, ranging from large to small. And the few pictures I shared above are a small sampling of the vibrant and bold patterns that Gigi Hill has to offer.
Lisa would like to offer all of YOU a special offer to get you a Gigi Hill bag of your own!
To get the special reader offer, you'll need to email Lisa directly at firstname.lastname@example.com before ordering your bag, and she will help you out. Trust me, it's a good one!
Go find your new bag at Gigi Hill!
** Disclosure: I was provided with a bag to review, but the opinions are my own.

In one visit my plantar fasciitis was gone. She is a wonderful and attuned practicioner and has so many treatment modalities to try for your issues physical or emotional. They are usually connected. Make an appt now.
My mom dragged me but she was right
Seattle teen - Jul 20, 2016
2 accupuncture treatments has made my neck pain more manageable. She is talented, far better than getting by with advil and ice.
Grateful for Victoria
Paula W - Jun 16, 2016
Victoria is an amazing healer. She's the first person I turn to when I have a chronic ache or illness that isn't responding to my own devices. Not only is her accupuncture work so helpful and healing, she works to help me understand the emotional issues that might be causing "blockages." She has a wonderful personality and I can't recommend her more highly.
K.M. - Apr 14, 2016
I highly recommend Victoria! I am truly impressed with her treatment. She is a delight to work with you on any ailment you may have!

I am looking to get into some perch and walleyes. I don't have a perminant shack, and no 4 wheel drive vehicle. Am I going to have to do a lot of walking to get to the fishing spots, or do people fish relitively close to shore??? Looking for some general information on where most people park their vehicles and where people would generally start to try and fish. Any info for a new guy would be appreciated!!!

About this listing
Our spacious and quiet 2BR/1BA apartment is located near the A train (20 min. to midtown Manhattan), and walking distance from Fort Tryon Park/The Cloisters. Full size bed in bedroom, and full size futon. Pet friendly.
The space
Our lovely home boasts 950 sq ft, a very spacious apartment for NYC. It can sleep up to four (two in the master bedroom, two on the futon). There are two AC's, and the apartment in general stays very cool. There is one bathroom, and a separate kitchen with a fold out island for extra counter space. There is a flat screen TV, dining table, and lots of storage. The second "bedroom" is used as a teaching studio for the two musicians who live in. You will also see a six foot baby grand, and many music books. Pets are welcome, as long as they are cleaned up after.
Guest access
Wifi, cable TV and AC are all free to be used, although additional payment may apply. We very much prefer for guests not to touch the piano and other instruments in the music room.
Interaction with guests
We will be present to meet the guest, and hand over keys. Depending on the length of the guest's stay, it will be either ourselves, or a third party.
The neighbourhood
If you are looking for the Manhattan Experience, but find the city a little too noisy and bustling, this is your neighborhood! Even though you are in Manhattan, this neighborhood is quiet, safe, and family friendly. Overlooking the Hudson River, you will find some really beautiful views of the George Washington Bridge, and the Palisades.
You are located near two supermarkets, a Chase Bank, a pharmacy, and multiple restaurants right outside your door. There is also a very excellent wine shop right up the street called Vines on Pine. A short walk south to 181st Street will take you to a Starbucks, and a wonderful Italian restaurant called Saggio.
Heading north, you will find Fort Tryon Park, and the Cloisters Museum, a must-see collection of medieval art.
Getting around
Hudson Heights is a very convenient area with three parking garages and alternate side parking, if you are driving. The closest trains are the A and 1 trains, which means getting to midtown in about 20 min. There is also the M4 and M98 express that stops outside. We are also walking distance from the George Washington Bridge and the GWB bus terminal.
Other things to note
We are on a fifth floor walkup.
Please return the apartment in the condition it was handed to you. Cleanliness is of utmost importance to us. We (or our third party) will inspect it before you leave. Please do not leave until the apartment has been inspected. Any damage to furniture, instruments, or belongings will be billed to you accordingly. Please do not use any personal products that have been left in the apartment. Pets are welcome, as long as all traces of shedding have been properly removed. No smoking please.
Cancel up to 24 hours before your trip and get a full refund, including service fees.
