CANADA FX DEBT-C$ held in check by trade data, Greece
* C$ at C$0.9915 vs US$, or $1.0085 * Bond prices mostly higher By Jon Cook TORONTO, March 19 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was little changed against its U.S. counterpart o n M onday as a stronger greenback kept riskier currencies in check and soft Canadian trade data and nervousness over a looming Greek bond auction weighed on sentiment. Recently, the U.S. dollar has been boosted by a slew of encouraging U.S. economic data, reducing the likelihood of further stimulus from the Federal Reserve. "We're picking up where we left off on Friday," said Don Mikolich, executive director of foreign exchange sales at CIBC World Markets. "In the absence of any real significant fundamental news here, we're probably going to be fairly rangebound and drifting a little bit." As currency traders looked ahead to this week's Canadian retail sales and consumer pricing numbers, data on Monday showed Canada's wholesale trade slumped a worse-than-expected 1 percent in January from December, the second decline in three months following six consecutive gains. However the news did not have much impact on the Canadian currency. At 8:45 a.m. (1245 GMT), the Canadian dollar was at C$0.9915 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0085, little changed from Friday's North American session close at C$0.9919 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0082. Mikolich said he saw the Canadian dollar holding within a tight range between C$0.9990 and C$0.9840. Overall, appetite for riskier growth-oriented assets remained strong, reflected by last week's strong performance by U.S. and European stocks and a big sell-off of Canadian government bonds and U.S. Treasuries driven by expectations for stronger growth in the U.S. economy. However, Canadian government bond prices were up on Monday on slightly lower risk sentiment as market watchers looked ahead to more important economic data later in the week and showed some trepidation about Tuesday's Greek debt swap. The preliminary price set at an auction to decide the payout due to holders of Greek default insurance on Monday showed investors fear for the country's financial future even after a debt restructuring and aid packages. "If not well received, it will bring (Europe's) debt problems back to the radar screens," said Mikolich. "Particularly with Portugal, Spain and Italy in the wings still to be addressed over the next while, so you would see a bit of that risk-off trade." The two-year bond was up three Canadian cents to yield 1.270 percent. The 10-year bond rose two Canadian cents to yield 2.239 percent, but was still close to a five-month high.

Reverse Engineering my EICO HFS-2 Speakers
Hello! I'm new here, and new to audio in general. This is my first post, and I hope to give back as much as I take.
I recently inherited some vintage hi-fi equipment, including a pair of EICO HFS-2 speakers designed by Stewart Hegeman. If you don't know about them, you can read about them here: Citation X and Eico HFS-2 Speaker Systems
I've seen a lot of interest in these speakers, and I find Stewart Hegeman and his ideas deeply fascinating. Since I have been given this extremely rare and unusual piece of hi-fi history, I feel compelled (almost obligated) to try to "figure them out" and share what I learn.
To that end, I'm in the process of reverse engineering a pair of EICO HFS-2 speakers.
I'm currently measuring the "double section slot-loaded conical horn" that makes up the bottom of the speaker. I have disassembled the rear of one cabinet and taken measurements (don't worry, I dissected the speaker with the care of a plastic surgeon). Here is a photo :
My problem is, I don't know how precise I should be.
My immediate instinct was to pull out my calipers and measure down to the thousandths of an inch. But it seems to me that in doing so, I'm introducing false precision. Hegeman created a design with a certain level of precision, and EICO built it with some allowable margin of error. I'd like to see past the "margin of error" to - as best as possible - find the designed measurements.
For instance, take the mouth of the horn.
If I pull out my calipers and measure at several locations, I'll get an average measurement of 1.346 inches at the opening. So I ask myself, did Hegeman ask for 1.35 inches and the .006 deviation fell in the margin of error? Or did he ask for something like 1.3 inches or maybe 1-3/8" or maybe 1-15/16".
See my dilemma? I don't know which figures are significant.
Any insight or guidance would be helpful, but here are a few specific questions:
1.) In the design of folded horns, how precise do you need to be to get the proper results? For instance, would a deviation of 1/64th of an inch in a 4 inch horn mouth make a measurable or audible difference? 1/8th? What level of precision matters?
2.) If you were Stewart Hegeman working for EICO and you were designing this speaker, what system of measurement would you probably use? Imperial? Metric? Any insight or guesses?
3.) Finally, what would your guess on precision be? If you had to guess, would you say Hegeman wrote his measurements down to the 64th, 32nd, 16th, 8th (or if metric: cm, mm, micrometer, nano-meter)?
Like I said, any suggestions or insight would be helpful. If you think I'm going about this all wrong, or have a better way of doing this, let me know!

Given the realities of manufacture, 1/8" is probably sufficient, but i'd do 1/16" (actually i would do to the mm)

Thanks for your input, planet10.
The thing that gets me about the speaker is that I have reason to believe there might be designed differences of as little as 1/32 of an inch between the two halves of the horn.
Take a look at the far left and far right bracing. See how the brace on the right is lower than the brace on the left? When I first saw it, I assumed it was just a result of the margin of error. But... If you look at the article about these speakers here.
You will see that in the cut-away of the speaker on the second page, that same brace is in the same position. Is that a coincidence, or is it designed?
When I measured, I found that the braces are cut to the same size. However, the angle of the plywood that makes up the final part of the horn on the right is angled such that it is 1/32 of an inch closer to the outer wall of the cabinet (measured from the top tip of the plywood to the wall of the cabinet) than the corresponding piece on the left. That resulted in the need to place the brace lower on the right half of the horn than on the right half.
It seems quite possible that all the speakers are slightly asymmetrical, given that to make them symmetrical (which is the only way to make the height of the braces match), you would need to have very tight tolerances. But then again, it's also possible (or at least I think it might be) that it was designed that way.
If I knew whether 1/32 of an inch could make a difference in a horn, and if I knew whether building a speaker cabinet with tolerances of < 1/32" was common, I would easily solve this myself. But I have no knowledge of horn design. So I'm hoping you all can help me.
That said, can I put you in the "it wasn't designed that way" camp, or do you think there might be something to this?

I know that this is an old post but I am curious as to what became of this. I used to be Dennis Boyle of Chimera Labs gofer. in exchange I got tube, vintage gear and new design knowledge.
Dennis bought one of these speakers and UPS busted it all up. I therefore got a good look at the insides as well as how the driver and its dispertion cones worked. The tweeter section for instance was controled by 2 foil/paper cones that rotated in the wizzer section of the driver. The paper had been folded round into a cone and the corners were left sticking up. By turning the cones around you could control where the highs would be directed and the cones themselves acted as part of the tweeter because of the foil and because of the conical shape made for a 360 dispertion of the mids from the speaker cone.
Dennis thought that the empty sections in the horn were resonant
chambers and that the tuning of them was the way to get around problem of error in the design. As far as I know these were never kits but were delivered assembled so if the resonance chambers were indeed used to tune each horn then variation in the building and drivers
used could have been adjusted for as they were built.
It was and is a great piece of horn design and with the DIY work on Walsh tweeters the use of the wizzer could now be done much better.

Eico HFS-2
After many hours of measuring and research, I finalized a drawing of the cabinet and put together all the information one would need to make an extremely accurate recreation of this design -- right down to the glue, paper, and metal used to make the "lilly tweeter" and "boat whizzer" cones.
I attached the cabinet plan to this post if you're interested in it. I can share the rest of the information (the drivers that were used and how they were modified) if you'd like.

What the planning guidance means for the NHS
Key messages
- The approach set out for 2016/17 and beyond represents a watershed moment for the NHS.
- Changes to the way the system works, such as the introduction of multi-year allocations and the shift towards place-based systems of care – if implemented well – will give the NHS strong foundations from which it has a chance of achieving sustainability in the long term.
- The place-based approach represents an important acknowledgement that the now-widespread deficits are not simply a provider problem and that creating a sustainable financing model requires commissioners, providers and local authorities to work together.
- Guidance from central bodies signals an end to the post-Francis era. It has been made clear that the system has reached a point where finance must be given much greater priority.
- Gone too are core elements of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, in particular, the emphasis on competition and the principle of autonomy, with national bodies re-asserting control in order to get a strong grip on finances and performance.
- Frontloading of the Spending Review settlement means that, if and when the NHS has the capacity to progress from deficit reduction to transformation, it will be doing so against a backdrop of much smaller funding increases. It is inconceivable that the NHS will be able to achieve both financial sustainability and large-scale transformation within these financial constraints.
- The numerous and complex demands being placed on the NHS come at a time when many organisations are already under huge pressure. National bodies should be clear about the most important priorities, recognising that not everything can be delivered within the funding available.
- Leaders will need to work collaboratively in place-based systems of care. It will be critical that organisations engage staff at all levels in achieving sustainability and delivering transformation, and focus on improving value for patients and not crude cost-cutting.

Place based models of engagement of patients, carers and the public are essential too. We have been working on collaborative models of engagement for a number of years with some success http://www.ecstaffs.co.uk/ http://www.escv.org.uk/ https://wessexvoices.wordpress.com/ Each of these models are about putting people at the centre. It makes sense to engage people in their health and care lives, not in isloated commissioning or service offerings. We can develop trusted relationships with local people who can play an integral role at a range of levels across diverse services that interact and interelate. Place based approaches mean not 'doing to', but 'doing with' people, for it is they who make up the places. To achieve this, commissioners and providers will have to be prepared to share and not be protective of what they have created so far. It doesn't make sense for people to have to engage with 10 different organisations but it does make sense for 10 organisations to engage with one community of place.
I totally agree with the above, however with the introduction of 'Devolution' I cannot see this improving anytime soon. If we can't get the 'basics' right there is absolutely no chance. 'Integration' is a word banded about, but means very little to most organisations. CCGs Primary Care and LA have got to 'step up to the mark' including the acknowledgement that CARERS do and CAN play an important part in contributing their knowledge to those Agencies who have a 'duty' to deliver.
As a Carer I would like to know what proportion was used from 'The Better Care Fund' to improve the lives of those suffering from a LTC Mental Illness, my request for this information from my local CCGs was we do NOT have this information on file? probably that is why they are failing to deliver anywhere near an 'integrated' service to my client group.
Carers, Patients need Information, It's not there? This is why it takes forever to get answers to questions, you are sent on a 'Merry Go Round' and you can't get off.
I have no idea how 'patient centred' health & social care provider 'fits' into an NHS that is at 'breaking' point.
While i think long term planning is excellent within known financial packages early and promises kept ----we seem to be going round and round regarding one to one place based models ---but unless the NHS CEO keeps to his word regarding finance and less change in between agenda.s -- in the mean time letting dead wood leave NHS and move only positive forward thinking people in to lead the change s/user s and carers on interview panels ?---my fear is we have been here before in the meantime the MH health system HAVE PRICED OUT any good s/user and carer involvement --------------
by high ticket and travel costs at conferences --over this period dead wood people have gone along to qualify as been there and herd it again conferences and workshops designed by people with little knowledge of day to day care needs within our NHS-----NHS Cheshire seem to have now clicked onto the wonderful report made by DAME KATE BARKER 2014 KINGSFUND with excellent results ---JESSIE CUNNETT is on the right lines WITH depts working together and making the user journey simple and quicker
I know as a s/user and past carer --with also the advantage of working closely in the service as a director
My research, see 'Science Uncoiled' to be published this month, proposes trace element supplementation and acid air pollution abatement to prevent common mental and physical ailments. Implementing artificial intelligence modeled on the 'minion' chip in the brain could facilitate studies of orphan conditions, both would release NHS resources for international aid.
It seems that the NHS doesn't ever seem to seem to learn from best practice identified in partner Trusts and deliver these locally, instead of reinventing wheel and wasting significant resources whilst improvements in care decline. What is needed is to promote QI as the independent arbiter of best practice and enforced by the Board, not keDt to endless rounds of committee meetings.

Morning Crude Oil Market Report for 1/28/2011
March crude oil prices traded lower in overnight action but seemed to reverse course early this morning. Some traders suggested that the outside market tone was in a holding pattern ahead of this morning's US GDP data, with a slightly lower US dollar and flat global stock markets. It seemed that expectations for US fourth quarter growth increased during the December and January time, helped by an improving cycle of economic data, which has also bolstered the demand outlook for crude oil. Thursday's negative turn in prices seemed to be triggered by indications of greater levels of OPEC production. There were comments from a Kuwaiti oil official suggesting that OPEC may need to increase production to prevent higher prices from stifling global growth prospects. These comments were followed by those from IEA's chief at the World Economic Forum, which suggested that Saudi Arabia had already increased output to meet growing demand from India and China. Meanwhile, Brent crude continues to gain on WTI this morning and has approached all time record wide levels.

Former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing is spending his dotage the same way he has spent the rest of his life: fantasising about his own importance. This time he wants to build a shrine to himself to preserve his "place in history." Alas, there are no funds with which to do so.
The Times has reported this week that Giscard, 87, is selling his family's silver, porcelain, works of art and other heirlooms — including an 18th-century marble statue by Pierre Julien — to raise funds for a museum that he intends to open in his own honour.
The looming sale is also said to include various items of memorabilia from his time in office as President of France.
The fire sale has become necessary on account of Giscard's failure to sell a stately home he owns — for $3 million — in order to renovate another château he acquired some years ago to turn that, too, into a monument to himself.
It's sad stuff, really, and it comes near the end of a life, and an ancestry, that seems to have been preoccupied with enhancing the publicly perceived importance of himself and his family.
Giscard's father — clearly a craven to aristocratic aspiration — convinced government officials in 1922 that his family was in fact descended from nobility, claiming an obscure link to the aristocratic d'Estaing family; his family has been styled Giscard d'Estaing ever since.
Obviously, the aristocratic inclinations of the father were inherited by the son.
VGE — as Giscard is commonly referred to in France — has been nothing if not ambitious over the years.
It is, however, a fair comment that the great shame is that his ambitions and aspirations were pursued with far more vigour than his duties of state — certainly in later years — and that rather than leave behind the legacy of a great presidency, VGE will be remembered at home and abroad as the mediocrity he was as President.
His record of plotting and scheming in elected office dates back to the 1960s, during which he was widely regarded as being responsible for driving French war hero and President Charles de Gaulle from office; de Gaulle's replacement as President, Georges Pompidou, died suddenly in office in 1974, and Giscard was narrowly elected President.
His term in office started out well enough, but his administration soon became unpopular; mired in scandals often with himself at the centre of them, even his fellow world leaders grew tired of him — Margaret Thatcher, for one, found his constant self-aggrandisement irritating.
And — beaten by a serial loser in Francois Mitterrand in 1981 — VGE earned the dubious distinction of both being the first French President of the modern era to fail to be re-elected, and the first to be ousted by a socialist: a unique double whammy not matched until Nicolas Sarkozy lost to Francois Hollande earlier this year.
What is it with past leaders and their determination to inflate the public record of themselves? Is this a French thing, or is it politicians in general?
The question might seem obvious, until it is remembered that VGE, having failed to sell the family château to bankroll his exercises in self-promotion — a grand stately home that has been in his family for the better part of 100 years — is now busily liquidating all of the assets of value it contains, some of them virtually priceless, to pay for this latest attempted excursion into immortality.
Such is the ridicule VGE has attracted over the years that he is largely regarded as a simple figure of fun by his countryfolk; indeed, a putative attempt to regain the presidency in 1995 died a quiet death when it was realised he was so unpopular he would struggle to attract double-digit support in the first round of France's two-stage election process.
And these latest activities to build monuments to himself are merely the latest in a long, long line of adventures that have attracted negative publicity; one of the most notorious of these episodes involved the publication in 2009 of a novel entitled The Princess And The President, in which he seemed to suggest he had had an affair with the late Princess Diana.
Stung by the public outcry, VGE was forced to publicly state that the romance contained in the novel was purely fictitious.
Everyone knows that politicians see themselves as a cut above the rest of us; the "rulers and the ruled" mentality, and VGE — with his adopted family history of aristocracy and clear delusions of grandeur — apparently seeks to prove it.
What do readers think? Should former leaders go gently and softly into the night, or is there a case for eulogising them in the way Valery Giscard d'Estaing seeks to do for himself?

Does anyone know if the rumor about Judge Moore having 3 DUI's is true? If so, where can I find evidence of it?I believe you.
I was set up by my own husband, a local upper management law enforcement official. He had me falsely arrested. A plan carried out by him and his lil' boys in blue.
That's ok.
There has been a lot of water under the bridge since my false arrest that day and I'm afraid my corrupt husband's actions have returned to bite his arse quite harshly. Now and then the eyes of the innocent are given the gift of seeing the "crumbling" of the corrupt. I'm loving it.<quoted text>

Does anyone know if the rumor about Judge Moore having 3 DUI's is true? If so, where can I find evidence of it?
There is too much abuse of color going on in that Lynnwood PD/Court. Threats and duress are commonly used to generate revenue and violate the peoples right to due process. It is common for Judge Moore to keep you in jail unless you plead guilty. He does not care if you are innocent. Everyone that goes into his court is presumed guilty and blackmailed into signing your rights away in exchange for your freedom. The Public Defender is in the same building for gosh sakes. It's all about the money and herding as many sheep in and out of the courtroom as possible. Sheep is how everyone in the legal system refers to citizens. it's time for the sheep to rise up against the big bad wolf and claim back our land! Complain to Attorney General, Rob McKenna. Let's clean our house already people! The justice system is supposed to be for the people, yet there is justice for none.
#23 Apr 5, 2010
Judge Moore for sure, but there are some good cops still there, I think.
United States
#24 May 2, 2010
I dont know about Moore having any DUI's but I do believe that a family member was killed by a drunk driver.
but yes, Lynnwood is pretty much out to fill that kangaroo court to the brink 6 days a week!!
As far as Judge Moore, making people do time until your forced to plead guilty? That is 100% true!
I know..pulled me into jail for a DUI right from court..made me sit there for over 20 days for another court hearing because I pled not guilty..of course by then I plead guilty and was released with time served. I was not the only one, pretty much all the other people in their jail was getting the same treatment. This is neither fair or just! If ya ever have to go before Mr. Moore-Time then the best thing to do is kiss ass...unfortunately.
United States
#25 May 2, 2010
..but Mr. Moore does have a good sense of humor and is pretty cool outside of the court room. must be a jeckle / hide deal. lol!
#26 Aug 13, 2010
You're damned straight they are...judge Moore is a two faced tub of butter that has been known to frequent prostitutes, use drugs, and destroy peoples' lives sometimes because his fat ass gets cranky during court when he hasn't had time to feed his fat corrupt ass with food, and our wallets. He doesn't believe in justice...he abuses his power, as do the majority of his stormtroopers and corruption enablers...oops I meant public pretenders...oops...I meant public defenders...
#27 Aug 13, 2010
You're absolutely right...when it comes to judge Moore, in the city of Lynnwood, if you're accused of a crime, you can forget about innocent until proven guilty...here, it's...you are on standby guilty until officially declared as such. I don't know why they continue to wastefully kill trees with their horseshit about your right to contest any allegations of any criminal activity, no matter how trivial. To plead not guilty is to piss in a fan blowing toward you. You might as well try to drive a wooden nail through a cinder block using a sock. Even if for some remote reason you're acquitted, or found not guilty, the motto remains the same...in Lynnwood...either way...YOU PAY!!!!!!!!!!

This city should be known as the MethLab, Wa. The pigs do nothing about the drug trafficing in the city...unless they're running it, which explains a lot. Calling them is pointless because they're useless, I live below meth heads and have called at least 15 times regarding the traffic and constant noise coming from their unit; they've still done absolutely nothing! But if you're a minority they will scout and profile you in your car or on foot. I've been pulled over on foot and a freakin' bicycle... with no probable cause. But according to them it's standard procedure to "investigate" people walking home. Wait, I apologize, they finally hired a black officer, that I've only seen once...their 1st one ever, I bet they're proud of themselves. I have children and I'm making every effort to move anywhere but Lynnwo...I mean MethLab City. For their anniversary, did they do anything for the city? Well...they got new chargers and spiffy new designs, but the city's still going to shit. Go figure. So I believe there's something going on with them.

Hey don't stop there. I have been watching a Snohomish Sheriff Deputy who apparently issues tickets in King County and then writes them into a Snohomish County Court involation of court rules requires the ticket be written into the correct court. IRLJ 2.2 through 2.4 required that ticket been written into the correct court. Talk abou dishonest in my opinion.

Lynnwood police department needs to be investigated. Judge Moore lives for terrorizing every person brought into court. The police officers in lynnwood really need to take an extended class on identifying women who are being battered. Someone I am close to got arrested, the officer saw her in a convenience store .This person just came into the store to get cigarettes, and had been crying for several hours, and had just escaped from her abusive husband. The cop lied and said this person was high, and said their car reeked of marijuana which was completely untrue. He followed them out to their car and then pulled them over behind the store where no one could see,. He lied and said he pulled them over in a completely different area. He made up lie after lie. My question is; have the cops ever had any battered women training. This police officer has now ruined a life of a young mother, baby is 6 months old. Se got her license taken, and now cannot go back to work. Someone needs to be held accountable. What kind of people do these things? What gives them the right to do this to people at random. I used to respect police officers. Now it's just about money and power. They should be ashamed of themselves. My friend will never recover. No wonder police officers and certain judges are hated and not respected. The Lord will take care of them. Shame on them

I grew up in Lynnwood, wa as the daughter of Mareana Helene Perez-Walden at the Seattle Heights trailer court and saw police corruption constantly -Mareana was inheritor and in a forced marriage she was beaten terrorized and forced to sign everything over-she consistanly reported crimes but with police corruption in the family who stood to profit she didnt even get human rights. She was beaten in the head with a hammer and then pills were pushed down her throat and alcohol poured on her and her heart was timed to make sure she wouldnt live-and there was an eye witness although, this is supposed to keep you quiet until your next. Its all in police reports, never investigated-and justice never came.

I am eye witness to the homicides of Officer Greg Cessna (from colorado) and Bobby Lee Tallman in snohomish county wa duct tape was used tire irons syringes and a piece of glass was used on Officer Cessna's throat the same piece of glass that was lodged in the forehead of Bobby Lee Tallman-Police corruption covered this up-there was another undercover nicknamed sweetpea and she has evidence stolen bank money and evidence collected by officer Cessna and Bobby Lee Tallman-this will only be given to the Superior Officer of Greg Cessna (thats only two of the homicides I am witness to) I guess you have to kill all the Cessna family quick and cover this up because before the next attempt on my life heres a song dedicated to you snohomish county,wa cops CCR: icey a bad moon rising.

West Broadway Community Members, you are invited to the West Broadway Community Organization (WBCO) 2017 Annual General Meeting!

WBCO's Board of Directors is made up of West Broadway community members who work with staff, volunteers, local organizations, businesses and government in a grass-roots effort to reinforce West Broadway's livability and diversity. This is a community-led effort to preserve and augment the many things about West Broadway that make it Winnipeg's most vibrant and cosmopolitan neighbourhood.
There will be two important activities taking place at the AGM:
- The election of new members to the Board of Directors. We invite community members interested in serving on the Board to put their names forward. The nominations process is governed by WBCO's bylaws, a complete copy of which is available by contacting WBCO staff at 774-7201 (ext. 1) or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note that our bylaws do not allow for nominations from the floor, therefore there is no provision to nominate Board Members at the AGM.
A person must live, work, or volunteer in the West Broadway Neighbourhood to be eligible to nominate, or be nominated to the Board of Directors. (Self-nominations are welcome!) Board Members are committed to advancing the goals and policies of WBCO, participate in monthly board meetings, have an active participation on at least one standing committee, and represent WBCO at community events.
The nominating committee requests that all potential Board candidates write a short letter or email indicating why they are interested in serving on the Board, and what skills and experience they bring to this volunteer position. If you or someone you know is interested in participating but would prefer not to write, please drop by WBCO offices at 608 Broadway for a short introduction. Providing current contact information is also helpful.
As per our bylaws, in order to be accepted, nominations must be received no later than Wednesday, April 26, and may be dropped off or mailed to:
Board of West Broadway Community Organization – 608 Broadway – Winnipeg, MB – R3C 0W8 – or email email@example.com
- The amendment of WBCO's existing bylaws – to remove confusing language and clarify the role of WBCO's Governance/Board Development Committee. Members interested in reviewing the proposed changes are asked to click on this link – 2017 Proposed Bylaw Changes or pick up a hard copy at 608 Broadway by emailing a request to firstname.lastname@example.com
See you at the AGM!

Housing Quality Index Tool
WBCO recently partnered with United Way and the University of Winnipeg's Institute of Urban Studies (IUS) to develop a tool that can help organizations and individuals measure the overall quality and liveability of rental housing units. Housing Quality Index Tool was created as an easy-to-use assessment tool for gauging housing quality, specifically in rooming houses and single room occupancy long-stay hotels. Please follow this link for more information on this innovative initiative. WBCO and the IUS will be co-hosting a free training and information sharing session on the HQI tool in March 2016 (date TBA), please contact WBCO Housing Initiatives Coordinator, Leah Goertzen if you are interested in attending: email@example.com
198 Sherbrook St. Development Update
WBCO has been inching closer to launching the development of 198 Sherbrook St after several years of consultation and planning. The proposed development will include 18 units of mixed income rental housing, a commercial space on the main floor, and if all goes according to plan, a four season green house on the second floor roof (as shown in the rendering above). WBCO and our development partners Westminster Housing Society are currently raising funds for this development and we hope to have shovels in the ground by Summer of 2016. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting neighbourhood development.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Arrow Environmental Services, Sarasota, Fla., has acquired Bug Out Service, a $15.6 million operation based in Jacksonville, Fla. The deal closed on Jan. 31. Terms were not disclosed.
The Bug Out deal is Arrow Environmental's largest to date and gives the company a platform for expansion into eastern Florida. In 2010, Arrow Environmental Services partnered with Concentric Equity Partners, a private investment firm based in Chicago, and since then they have made 39 acquisitions.
"Bug Out is a premier company, no question about it," Joe Finney, newly named CEO of Arrow Environmental Services (see related story below), told PCT. "The quality of their people and their longevity is phenomenal. One thing that stood out to me in visiting their branches was this pride of ownership all of their employees take in their individual responsibilities. They have a very structured and defined value system. Other companies might have a value or mission statement that just hangs in the break room, but at Bug Out you can see actual evidence of it in the day-to-day work of their people."
Bug Out was founded in 1963 as division of Arlington Fuel Oil Co., and was purchased by John Sessions two years later. Sessions ran the business until 1998, when the daily operations were transferred to his daughter and son-in-law, Caren and Paul Felker. The Felkers will remain on board as large individual stakeholders and Paul Felker will remain with the company in a yet-to-be-determined role. Bug Out will continue to operate under the Bug Out brand and all Bug Out employees – including longtime employees Vice President John Milton and Technical Director Linda Prentice – have been retained.
Paul Felker, age 54, told PCT that he and wife Caren were forecasting ahead and since neither of their children (ages 20 and 25) were interested in the business, they began exploring other succession plans, including selling. "I wanted to make sure I created opportunities for our people and that they didn't think I wasn't just selling to one of our competitors," Felker said. "The more I thought about this, the more it made sense."
Felker added that he believes Bug Out and Arrow Environmental Services have compatible cultures, whose foundation is taking care of employees and customers. "I feel like our people look at this as an opportunity to join together with another company that shares similar cultures, and where we can work together to grow the business and create our own opportunities," he said.
With the acquisition of Bug Out Service, Arrow Environmental Services is now close to a $40 million company and gives the firm three large operations that can serve as platforms for expansion: Arrow Environmental Services (Sarasota/Tampa, Fla.); Skyline Pest Solutions (Atlanta, Ga.); and Bug Out Service (Jacksonville, Fla.) "This is a game changer for us," said Finney. "We are really looking forward to the cross-pollination of them learning from us, and us learning from them."
The author is Internet editor and managing editor of PCT and can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
***updated on 2/17/2014 at 11:50 a.m.***
Finney Named CEO of Arrow Environmental Services
Finney was brought on board as CEO as a result of Arrow Environmental's recent growth, including the acquisition of large businesses in Jacksonville, Fla. (Bug Out Service) and Atlanta (Skyline Pest Solutions). With Finney's move back to the pest control industry as Arrow's new CEO, Bill Hurd moves into the role of chief operating officer and president, working with Finney and Arrow Chairman George Pickhardt to manage the company going forward.
Finney comes to Arrow Environmental Services after serving as senior vice president of Sears Holdings Management Corp., and president of the company's automotive group, the last three years. Finney's roots are in the pest control industry, having worked for Terminix from 1987 to 2003, including roles as regional vice president and European managing director. He's also served as a board member for Arrow Environmental since it partnered with Concentric in 2010.
Finney told PCT he is thrilled to return to the pest control industry full-time. "I have a passion for assertive leadership and the ability to work with people and see the growth of individuals," he said. "I've applied a lot of the principles I learned when I ran branches and some of my other roles. I feel like I've come full circle. I'm here to do some special things and it's going to be a great ride."
Ken Hooten, partner at Concentric Equity Partners, said Finney will be instrumental in the company's future growth plans. "Joe is really well respected in the branch operation services industries for being innovative even though he's built big companies. He's a builder by track record — he's not a maintainer," Hooten said. "Joe is unbelievably gifted, but he is also humble, and our whole model is about serving our partners at the regional and local levels who are serving their customers. There isn't a better guy in the country at doing that than Joe Finney." — Brad Harbison

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
About 14 years ago someone broke into my car and stole some things. Months down the road the cops knocked on my door saying they had the guy in custody. Went to court where I was awarded somewhere over $2,000 in restitution. I only received a couple payments after that totaling maybe a couple hundred dollars and then they stopped. There was a contact person given to me (maybe a parole officer?) where I could call if I had questions. Once I realized the payments were no longer coming, the contact I had no longer returned my calls. I left it thinking the system wouldn't fail me, that they would start up again or someone would call me. I ended up forgetting about it. Haven't seen a payment in 14 years. Is this typical? Is it too late to do something about the remaining money owed to me?I put this under "Payment Plan", but not sure if my question falls under the same category that was opted to me. I assumed this to be a question about restitution payment plan.
I wish I had a crystal ball that would let me answer your question, but unless you are able to contact the person monitoring this situation, there is no way to know. The person may have been returned to custody, he may have gone to Vegas to hide out before his final hurrah (it happens all the time), he may be unemployed and excused from paying, and there could be a thousand other excuses. Hope this perspective helps!Ask a similar question
Thanks. Do you know if there is someone I can contact here to get the case information just by providing my name, and then in turn get any key contact info required from the records? I just don't have names of anyone anymore.
My suggestion would be to contact either the public prosecutor's office or if there is a victims rights organization in your state, this group. Nevada has a state agency called "Victims of Crime" that assists people such as yourself & your state may have a similar program. Start by calling the state government - very often the telephone operators understand how the government works better than anyone else and can direct you to the correct party.
I emailed the WI state DOJ. Thanks for your help!
Attorney Bunce is right, almost anything could have happened. You should have kept calling your "contact" until you made contact. After this much time has passed, the liklihood you will ever get another payment is very low. Stranger things have happened though. Good luck to you.Ask a similar question

Anything Joe Flacco gets, Aaron Rodgers will want better: "I think everybody is going to see what Joe ends up signing for"

Aaron Rodgers suddenly has a new 'elite' quarterback in the club, but he's keeping an eye on Joe Flacco. Rodgers wants to see if the Baltimore Ravens make Flacco the highest paid quarterback, or slot him accordingly. For Rodgers, it's everything rolled up in a box for him. If Flacco becomes the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, it won't be for long. If Flacco get a slotted contract within the top 10 quarterbacks, Rodgers could lose some cash in the process. "I think everybody is going to see what Joe ends up signing for," Rodgers said, via ESPNWisconsin.com. "I'm sure they want to lock him up. He's a great player — had an incredible run in the playoffs — and I'm sure they want to keep him around. A guy like that, with the post-season success he's had, you want to keep a guy like that around for a while." "Obviously you've got to be able to have guys around you to compete and win every year, and we'll see what happens with some of the free agents that we have. When that time comes, we'll get a deal done. I'm not worried about that. I think the Packers want to keep me around for a little while longer, and I'd love to be a Packer for life." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Port Jefferson Explored in New Book
Local authors tell the story of the Long Island village through stunning, historic images
The history of Port Jefferson, a village on Long Island's North Shore, is rich with the lore of ships and the sea. Once called Drowned Meadow because of flooding at high tide, the town was renamed Port Jefferson in 1836. Those same harbor waters, which overran their banks, would become the natural resource that made Port Jefferson's first industry--shipbuilding--
By the mid-19th century, the village had become one of the principal shipbuilding centers on Long Island and a major port of entry. The names of many prominent shipbuilding families are preserved in the village's streets and institutions, including Mather, Jones, Bayles and Hawkins. When the shipbuilding industry declined in the late 1800s, Port Jefferson used its seaside location to reinvent itself as a recreation destination, attracting notables such as Franklin Roosevelt.
The community's heritage is evidenced today in the numerous well-kept historic homes and buildings that stand along the hilly, tree-lined streets overlooking the harbor. Images of America: Port Jefferson looks to keep the history of Port Jefferson alive for residents and visitors alike.
Highlights of Port Jefferson include:
• Rare photographs of all the past ferries spanning 130 years of service between Port Jefferson and Bridgeport.
• A look inside Port Jefferson's role in carriage and automobile manufacturing as well as shipbuilding.
• Includes photos of notable visitors to the area, such as Franklin Roosevelt and comedian, Ed Wynn.
*The authors are donating their proceeds to the Port Jefferson Harbor Education & Arts Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing knowledge and appreciation of local history, marine life, cultural arts, recreational sports and educational experiences.*

San Juan Capistrano, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2012 -- 75% of Americans will suffer from gum disease in their lives. This is the main cause of tooth loss in adults. Regular brushing and flossing is of course recommended, but will only reach an eighth of an inch under the gums, leaving substantial amounts of bacteria in areas that are hard to see, and difficult to reach.
The Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator uses patented magnetic technology to ionise the water being used to rinse the mouth. This unique system actually creates an active barrier to prevent bacteria clinging to the teeth, whilst the water stream gently massages the gums, dislodging food and other undesirable substances. In fact, the Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is clinically proven to be 64% more effective in reducing plaque and tartar than nonmagnetic irrigators, thereby dramatically reducing red, swollen gums and bad smelling breath. Irrigation reduces the amount of time that bacteria can sit below the gum line, so reduces tooth decay and damage to the bone that holds the tooth in place.
Better oral health also leads to improved health overall. A report by the Surgeon General of the United States advises that gum disease has been linked to diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and other life threatening illnesses.
Because of the unique ionising technique, the Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is able to release water at lower pressure, so whilst it disrupts plaque and flushes bacteria and toxins out, it is also very safe, and does not damage gums.
The Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator uses unique technology to clean teeth, prevent gum disease and create a feeling of having had a professional clean every day.
The Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is brought to the market by by Natural Gumption.
The Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is priced at around [$98]. For more information, or to order a Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator, visit http://www.naturalgumption.com

The Traveller
Tom Welland, let the cigarette slip from his lips, as the wind caught hold of it. The half smoked butt flew into the air and landed far behind on the darkening road.
The Impala roared on down the road, the hood down, the wind a welcoming presence to Tom, as he felt his face might melt from the smoldering heat of the Nevada desert. His old Impala had served him well, but the air conditioning no longer worked and the engine was constantly getting clogged and overheating from the sandy air.
He didn't care, clogging engines and sweltering heat were the furthest things from his mind. His memory was clouded with dark memories of what he had left behind. He was slowly in the process of filtering out those memories until there was nothing left but a clean slate.
Evening was turning into night slowly, the sun had already disappeared beyond the distant cliffs, and Tom had flicked on the Impala's high beams. The heat was still as bad as ever though, even with no sun. Tom didn't understand how anyone could live here comfortably. He was glad to be here though, away from what he'd left behind, away from the mess.
In the seat next to him a closed leather bag, similar to a doctor's bag, held bundles of hundred dollar bills, filled to the brim. In the back seat, a mix of different items: a leather jacket, a suitcase filled with clothes, a pamphlet on Las Vegas casinos, and an item that was out of place amongst the array. A small sewn rag doll, similar to one a little girl might clutch to her chest.
The doll was sat proped up against the seat facing the front, as though along for the ride. Tom glanced in his rearview at the doll, and grimmaced. He just couldn't tear his eyes away from the lifeless eyes of the child's toy. He closed his eyes and looked away slowly.
When he opened his eyes there was suddenly a figure in the road in front of him, his headlights washed over it. Tom slammed on the breaks and the Impala's back end slid a little sideways as the car skidded to a stop. The figure was frozen in the road watching the hulking mass of car hurtling towards it. When the car finally stopped inches away the figure looked it over and then moved across the high beams to the other side of the road.
A fox, a stupid fox. Tom let out a rush of air as he realized he had been holding his breath. He slammed the steering wheel of the car as the fox made it to the other side of the road slowly. Tom sat back and watched as the small creature looked back at him for a few minutes, before running off across the desert.
"Well at least he won't press charges," Tom said aloud to no one.
It was meant to relieve tension but Tom didn't find it particularly funny once he had said it. He reached for the keys to start the car again, as the sudden break had stalled it out. He turned the keys and the car revved, but never turned over.
Tom grumbled something about the sand and turned the keys again. The car once more revved but never caught. Tom tried once more and as the car continued revving he finally let go of the keys and slammed the steering wheel again in anger.
"GOD-DAMMIT! Are you going to front the bill for this too?" he yelled out to the, now disappeared, fox.
Of course there was no reply, but a soft breeze as Tom leaned back again and stared at the sky. He counted the stars slowly as they came out, to relieve the frustration that had built. He remembered his Dad showing him how to do this when he was just a young boy.
Tom looked back down at the ground again, and down the road. A sign just a few yards down the road caught his eye. It was one of those neon signs, so they must have just turned it on, as he didn't remember seeing it before.
The Sahara Inn; it was the perfect name to a sleezy joint out here in the middle of nowhere. There was a smaller word shining underneath in blue: Vacancy. He grabbed his suitcase and the bag in the front seat decidedly, and got out of the car. He was about the close the door when he stopped and waited for a moment thinking.
He reached back in the car, grabbed his jacket and the doll and then slammed the door. Slipping the doll into the bag of money, he tucked the jacket under his arm and began to walk down the long road towards the highway motel, arduously carrying both bags in each hand.

The Distribution of Physical Activity in an After-school Friendship Network
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether a child's friendship network in an afterschool program influences his/her physical activity.
METHODS: Three waves of data were collected from school-aged children participating in aftercare (n = 81; mean [SD] age, 7.96 [1.74] years; 40% African American, 39% white, and 19% Latino) a name generator survey was used to map each child's social network, and accelerometers were used to measure physical activity. We applied stochastic actor-based modeling for social networks and behavior.
RESULTS: Children did not form or dissolve friendships based on physical activity levels, but existing friendships heavily influenced children's level of physical activity. The strongest influence on the amount of time children spent in moderate-to-vigorous activity in the afterschool hours was the activity level of their immediate friends. Children consistently made adjustments to their activity levels of 10% or more to emulate the activity levels of their peers (odds ratio [OR] = 6.89, P < .01). Age (OR = 0.92, P < .10) and obesity status (OR = 0.66, P < .10) had marginally significant and relatively small direct effects on the activity. Gender had no direct effect on activity.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that friendship ties play a critical role in setting physical activity patterns in children as young as 5 to 12 years. Children's activity levels can be increased, decreased, or stabilized depending on the activity level of their immediate social network during a 12-week afterschool program. Network-based interventions hold the potential to produce clinically significant changes to children's physical activity.

How we select and hire people
In 2015 the new Internal and External Recruiting procedure was issued, aimed at integrating the processes for the internal and external scouting of professional and managerial skills.
In this respect, one of the most important features introduced as part of the process is the creation of a "control room" set up to ensure the end-to-end supervision of the entire job mobility - both internal and external - in accordance with clearly defined and communicated rules. Finally, the internal managerial recruiting process was systemized.
The re-engineering of the process also included redefining the means of support and the evaluation steps differentiated by target and skill type.
A Permanent Skills Observatory will provide updates on the development of skills through a methodological platform driven by a series of inputs from both within the organisation (e.g. Strategic Plan, Technological Plan, People Strategy) and from the external world through an international network of experts in various subjects.
The definition of the development of new capabilities has, moreover, made it possible to work in a targeted and systematic way on the employer branding initiatives and on the partnerships with the world of education and academia in order to steer the training investments so they fit with the company requirements.
