Location, Location, Location!! This comfortable and affordable one-bedroom is conveniently located. Within 10 minutes you can get to the world-famous RAINFOREST El Yunque; the white-sand Luquillo BEACH; premier SHOPPING outlets; tasty RESTAURANTS; horseback riding and water sports. 20 minutes away is the ferry to the gorgeous Islands of Culebra and Vieques (they are to die for!). It's just 30 minutes to the San Juan PARTY scene.
If you just want to relax and veg out, this apartment has an air conditioner that works fabulously! It also has a TVs, DVD player for movies, Ipod player/radio. Plus a comfy recliner to rest your bones.
If you like to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped. If you just want to heat up food quick, there's a microwave.
There is also free Wi-fi.
Most important, the people are friendly and warm--and if you're looking for time just to be with yourself, they'll stay out of your way
We spent two weeks here during Christmas/New Years. We loved it. The owner promptly answered all our questions through email or phone. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and more- beach towels, beach chairs, extra toiletries, kitchen utensils, pots, etc.
We would certainly consider coming back:)
My fiancé and I spent a couple nights here on our short trip to PR. The apartment was clean and comfortable and could easily sleep 6 people between the beds and sofas.
There is not alot to do in the direct vicinity of the apartment, however the beach, el Yunque and Old San Juan are very close by. This apartment provided the perfect place to rest our heads.
The utility closet had plenty of bug spray and sunscreen along with snorkeling equipment and towels.
Worth mentioning that if you want to sleep in you should bring ear-plugs... The neighbor's roosters and dogs like to wake up early!
Great location. Great value. Woke to roosters but very quiet other than that. Beautiful home.
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The apartment was very neat, well kept, and roomy.
This condo met our expectations. It was clean, in a great location (shopping, things to do, etc), easy to find, with a well stocked kitchen and closet (meaning extra sheets, towels, etc).
The a/c worked well, the bathroom was large, and the sitting room was good. The only negative is there is not cable tv. For anyone with a computer, the wifi works so you can surely watch movies from your laptop.
There was mis-communication getting into the condo the first time. My advice is have the exact address and explicit information to gain entrance BEFORE leaving home. I would stay at this location again if I return to NE PR.
In March 2016, my girlfriend and I stayed at Dan's Rio Grande condo. The size of the property worked for us, but I couldn't imagine trying to accommodate more than two people. The kitchen and bath were well stocked with dishes, towels, etc, and having a cooler and chairs for the beach was great. The air condition worked great. The hot water was decent in the bathroom but nonexistent in the kitchen.
The condo is located in a residential neighborhood that is extremely "rustic." Not all of the homes are maintained well, and we were awaken every morning by the crow of the neighbor's roosters. Nonetheless, we felt safe. We didn't mind the simplicity of our surroundings since we really only slept and ate breakfast there.
We rented a car from the airport--DEFINITLY rent a car. There's a ton to do in the vicinity of a short drive. Luquillo Beach and several food kiosks are about 15 minutes away. Also, the condo is about 25 minutes from the San Juan where we did a walking tour, played at the casino and partied at Club Brava. In the opposite direction, the condo is a convenient 30 minute drive from the Fajardo ferry to Culebra and Vieques.
Our biggest complaint is that we waited outside approximately an hour after a long flight before Dan arranged for someone to bring us the keys to the condo. Overall, our experience was pleasant.

Off-hand, that is clearly not a permissive license. The substantial-use and non-commercial requirements for a separate license for such use is a show-stopper, it seems to me.

B.A. in Bible and Theology with a Worship Leadership Minor
The Worship Leadership minor equips students to lead worship in a variety of settings, particularly in the contemporary and blended styles, within the church and para-church organizations. It includes both practical and philosophical approaches to music and worship ministry in order to offer students a more comprehensive understanding of the role music plays in worship both within the church and in the world. To assist worship leaders in being integral team members on a church or para-church ministry staff, the minor includes a church education core to equip students in foundational ministry skills.

WonderCon, Saturday, April 1: Join me in Anaheim, California, where instead of going to Disneyland we'll geek out on a panel and then I'll sign afterward! I will be there Saturday. More details to come.
TLA, April 19-21: Hanging out with Texas librarians and educators? Yes, please! I'll be there for both Now I Rise and my first middle grade, Beanstalker and Other Hilarious Scarytales, with opportunities to see me and get one (or both!) signed.
Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, April 23: Panel info to come, but...if you can get to LA, you won't want to miss this one! It's held on USC campus.
YallWest, Santa Monica CA, April 29: The biggest party in bookdom! Come join me and a gaggle (exhaustion? murder? caffeination? what is the plural for authors?) of other authors for one of the rockingest book days you'll ever have.
More events to come in 2017!
I am always open to attending festivals, libraries, conferences, and/or schools. Because the cost in both time and money, I do ask that my travel expenses be paid, along with an honorarium where appropriate/budget allowed.
(I do not make exceptions to the cost of travel request unless it is a festival/conference I have sought out myself, or unless Stephanie Perkins will also be there because she is my favorite.) (I should probably say something that makes that last requirement sound like a joke, but it's not.)
I am happy to do school visits with presentations tailored to either high school or middle school audiences. For conferences or festivals, I'm open to workshops, panels, and keynote speeches. My powerpoint skills are beyond compare (by which I mean I finally figured out how to use gifs so I can have better joke punchlines). To quote my mother-in-law, "You're so good at public speaking!" By this I assume she meant she only fell asleep for a few minutes rather than the entirety of the one speech she's heard me give.
I care deeply about teen audiences, and am particularly inclined to say yes to events catered toward them.
If you would like to contact me about potentially doing an event, please email email@example.com. (Emails about other things will not receive replies. I'm sorry. I still like you.)

Paphos takes pride that it is known as the city founded on the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. The rock that is said to be her exact birthplace is the perfect place to visit for any mythology lover. The Rock of Aphrodite is where Aphrodite rose out of the ocean. Legend says that anyone who swam to the rock would gain eternal youth. Sounds great, but know that swimming to and climbing on the rock is not permitted due to very rough waters near the stone. The rock also goes by the name The Stone of the Greek, where another legend says the Greek hero DigenisAcritas threw the very rock into the sea to scare off the invading Saracens. The nearby beach would be the perfect place to have a have a picnic. You can reach it by taking the B6 south east out of Paphos until it touches the coast. Seeing as it's the patron town of Aphrodite it only makes sense for there to be a temple in her honour. The Temple of Aphrodite was the area of worship of her cult and a place of pilgrimage for people all over Greece. It dates back to the 12th century B.C. Located in Old Paphos, the temple is now in ruins but many of the beautiful mosaics have survived. Near the ruins is a museum that has artefacts from the temple and explains how the people worshiped. There is a four and a half euro entry fee for adults to see the temple and museum. You can get to it by visiting the nearby village of Kouklia and going South West. The site is open every day of the week from 8am to 4pm and open till 5 pm on Wednesday.
Paphos is known for having tons of well persevered and detailed mosaics depicting scenes from Greek and Roman myth. The mosaics are spread out amongst a group of what were very opulent homes. Each home is named after the mythical characters Dionysus, Theseus, Orpheus, and Aion. Another house is known as the House of the Four Seasons because it has a mosaic depictions of them. The archaeological park where the sites are located is near Paphos Harbour and is open 8:30 am to 5pm in the winter and until 7:30 pm in the summer. There is a 4.50 Euro fee at the entrance. Of all the places to visit in Paphos this is the one you can't miss.
Another sight that connects to the ancient Greeks is The Tomb of the Kings which was a burial site for the elite families of ancient Cyprus. Built in the 3rd century BC it contains very impressive architecture. When early Christians came to Cyprus, they used the tomb as a burial site adding to the history of the place. The tomb of the kings is located to the north of the Elysium Hotel and is open 8:30 am to 5:00 pm in the winter and until 7:30 in the summer. There is a two and half Euro admittance fee.
One of the most famous historical sites in Paphos is the coastal Paphos Castle. Originally built by the Byzantines as a fort to protect the nearbyharbour, it has been torn down and rebuilt twice. Each time leaving behind the builder's influence on the structure. In 1222 A.D. an earthquake destroyed the fort, until it was rebuilt by the Lusigans later that century. The Venetians tore it down in 1570, likely to use as material for other stone building projects. When the Ottomans captured the city, they again rebuilt it. When Britain took control of Cyprus, they used the seaside fort as both a prison and as storage for salt. The castle is located near the boardwalk of Kato PhaposHarbor and is open to the public from 8:30am to 5:00 pm. The story of Paphos Castle matches the history of Cyprus so it's a must see.
Paphos has many churches that are worth visiting. One church that is very special is PanagiaChrysopolitissa, which contains the pillar of Saint Paul. The story is that Paul was imprisoned in Paphos and during his imprisonment was tied to the pillar and whipped. The pillar still stands in perfect condition and is considered a holy sight. The church built on the site is very old in its own right and contains many mosaics and is still holds mass. You can get to this church by going directly west form the archaeology park across the B20. Saint Solomoni is a church that has a 12th century with the original frescoes still attached. At the front of the church is a tree that is said to cure anyone that hangs an offering on its branches. The church is on a road named AyaisKyriakis. AyiosNeophytos is a monastery that was in part built from what a hermit carved out of the mountain side and has frescoes that date back form between the 12th and 15th century. The monastery is at the end of AgiosNeofytos Ave in the village of Tala.
Even if history isn't your thing there are still plenty of things to do. Those visiting in the summer may want to take a day to visit the Super Aphrodite Water Park, you can find it off Poseidonos Ave and has a 20 euro entry fee. If you're looking for even more water related fun you can find Nick's Water Sports Centre behind the Amathus Hotel, they offer parasailing and jet-skiing.
Diving and fishing are also popular sport here, especially since the waters are so pure and clear to look at. Bold divers can go lower and actually see underwater ruins and wrecks from ages ago, not to mention plenty of marine life in the Mediterranean Sea. Fishing is all year round and freshwater, so it's an angler's paradise. Remember to get a license if you want to fish in the dams. However, saltwater fishing at specified locations is free-reign.
Animal lovers will want to see the Paphos Zoo; it's open 9 am to 5pm in the winter and till 6pm in the summer.There is a 15.50 Euro admission for adults and 8.50 Euros for children 12 and under. The zoo is located on Xylomantrou Street. The zoo offers some excellent wildlife viewing, including 700 birds and 165 avian species, along with large mammals like tigers, primates, giraffes, rodents and marsupials. There are even bats counted among the 5,000 mammals. Reptile exhibits feature crocodiles, snakes, lizards and tortoises.
Horse riding at Eagle Mountain Ranch is a cant miss and is located 10 minutes outside Paphos on EvagoraPalikride. The ranch offers both one hour and three hour rides.

do organic compounds and biomolecules mean the same thing?? i.e. carbon compounds found in living organisms? plz clear my doubt.. :
An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous,liquid,or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain compounds .A few types of carbon-compounds containing carbon are considered inorganic.But biomolecules are all the carbon compounds that we get from the living tissues.
organic compounds simply mean molecules containing carbon as their base atom ..
they are given such a name beacause life basically depends upon carbon based molecules,though inorganic minerals such as Fe, Ag, Mg are needed but their quantity is negligible !
Biomolecules are compounds that are found in living organisms
most abundantly found biomolecules are carbohydrates, fats, proteins etc !
hope this helps u !
NO, biomolecules are compounds present in a living cell or tissue while organic compounds can be prepared artificially
yes its a same
ur welcome !
thx both f u :)
@harpreet, ur answer is actually a v.gud 1.. :P

The present invention relates to storage batteries. More specifically, the present invention relates to a battery system tester for testing storage batteries.
Many attempts have been made to test storage batteries. One technique which has been pioneered by Dr. Keith S. Champlin and Midtronics, Inc. of Burr Ridge, Ill. relates to measuring the conductance of batteries to determine their condition. This technique is described in a number of United States patents, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,873,911, issued Mar. 25, 1975, to Champlin, entitled ELECTRONIC BATTERY TESTING DEVICE; U.S. Pat.

Substantially accurate information regarding the condition of a storage battery can be generally obtained by employing current battery testing techniques. However, in certain testing situations, a battery tester providing information limited to the condition of the battery may be inadequate. For example, if an automobile battery tested at a service department fails the battery test, in addition to the test result, battery replacement information needs to be provided to the customer. Since current testers typically do not provide such information, service personnel usually have to suggest suitable battery replacement options to the customer. Reliance on the recommendations of the service personnel regarding battery replacement may not be advantageous for the testing facility as well as the customer. In general, inadequate and inaccurate battery replacement information can lead to the selection of a battery that is unsuitable for the conditions under which the vehicle is operated, which may result in additional cost and potential damage to the battery and vehicle.
The present invention includes a method and apparatus for testing a storage battery. A battery test result, battery environment information and battery replacement information is used to provide an output related to a replacement battery or battery replacement options.
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for conducting a battery test and utilizing a test result, battery replacement information and battery environment information to provide an output related to a replacement battery or battery replacement options.
As used herein, battery test condition information can be any information generated or the result of a battery test. This can include intermediary measurements or reactions of the battery to the battery test as well as the actual test result. Battery test information can be both qualitative and quantitative. Further, as used herein, battery environment information can be any type of test condition information received through input 18 as well as environmental measurements, such as temperature or information stored in memory 60 related to geographic location of the battery test, geographic location in which the battery under test is used, seasons during which the battery under test is used, dealer identification, service station identification, operator identification, information related to the warranty of the battery under test, etc. Further, as used herein, battery replacement information is any type of information or data which correlates a replacement battery with some type of battery environment information as defined above. The replacement information can be, for example, stored in memory 60 in the form of a table or other data structure. The replacement information can be periodically downloaded into memory or be substantially permanently stored in memory 60.
There are a number of factors that determine the selection an appropriate replacement battery. First, the replacement battery should be of an appropriate size (battery group size) such that it can properly fit the physical dimensions of the vehicle. Further, the cold cranking amp (CCA) rating and the battery reserve capacity (RC) are important considerations in choosing a replacement battery. CCA is critical for good cranking ability and RC indicates the battery's "staying power" (how many minutes the battery can supply ample power without falling below the minimum voltage needed to run the vehicle when the alternator has failed). In general, for both CCA and RC, the higher the number the better. However, when the vehicle is primarily operated in a cold climate, the CCA rating is a very important consideration and needs to be higher. Conversely, if the vehicle is used in a high heat climate, as much CCA is not required.
In accordance with the present invention, battery tester 10 provides a battery replacement output 72 which is indicative of a possible replacement battery as a function of the battery test result, battery environment information and battery replacement information. The replacement battery output 72 can be in the form of a battery model, serial number, rating or some other way to identify a replacement battery which is either available in inventory or can be obtained from another source. In some embodiments, the battery replacement information is specifically limited to those batteries which are currently in inventory at the site of the battery test. In such a configuration, battery replacement information stored in the memory 60 is modified in substantially real time as the local inventory is replenished or depleted. The battery replacement information can also be related to the warranty provided by the battery. For example, if the battery is still under warranty, the battery replacement output can be modified to be more or less likely to suggest a replacement battery or suggest a particular type of replacement battery.
In one simple embodiment, the battery replacement information can be in the form of a table in which a particular battery replacement type is identified with a number of particular qualities of that type. For example, the table can contain a battery type followed by information related to battery rating, preferred or recommended environmental climate conditions, particular vehicles for which that battery is well-suited, particular vehicles or driving patterns for which that battery is well-suited, etc.
Battery replacement information can also be modified or can include information regarding the condition of replacement batteries such as the age of the replacement battery, current sales or other promotional activities, a particular quality level of a battery, such as a "premium" battery, etc. Incentives to replace batteries which have not completely failed a test can also be provided in the battery replacement information. This can assist or encourage customers to replace batteries prior to their ultimate failure.
With the present invention, processor 24 performs some type of correlation between the battery environment information and battery replacement information in order to generate output 72. The correlation can be a simple comparison between the environment information and the various entries in a table of data of the battery replacement information. Some entries in the table can be given higher preference than others, for example, the climate recommendations for a particular battery can override other types of replacement battery information such as a particular brand of battery, etc. Similarly, physical size restrains can also be an overriding entry in the battery replacement information so that the suggested replacement battery is assured to physically fit in a particular vehicle. Another example entry which may be given a higher weight includes the battery output capabilities so that the suggested battery is capable of sufficiently powering a vehicle or other application not identified by the battery environment information. Correlation can be performed using a simple rule set using if/then comparisons, weighted averages, fuzzy logic or other decision-making techniques.
In operation, current source 50 is controlled by microprocessor 56 and provides current I in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 3. In one embodiment, this is a square wave or a pulse. Differential amplifier 52 is connected to terminals 30 and 32 of battery 12 through capacitors C1 and C2, respectively, and provides an output related to the voltage potential difference between terminals 30 and 32. In a preferred embodiment, amplifier 52 has a high input impedance. Circuitry 10 includes differential amplifier 70 having inverting and noninverting inputs connected to terminals 30 and 32, respectively. Amplifier 70 is connected to measure the open circuit potential voltage (VBAT) of battery 12 between terminals 30 and 32. The output of amplifier 70 is provided to analog-to-digital converter 54 such that the voltage across terminals 30 and 32 can be measured by microprocessor 56.
Circuitry 10 is connected to battery 12 through a four-point connection technique known as a Kelvin connection. This Kelvin connection allows current I to be injected into battery 10 through a first pair of terminals while the voltage V across the terminals 30 and 32 is measured by a second pair of connections. Because very little current flows through amplifier 52, the voltage drop across the inputs to amplifier 52 is substantially identical to the voltage drop across terminals 30 and 32 of battery 12. The output of differential amplifier 52 is converted to a digital format and is provided to microprocessor 56. Microprocessor 56 operates at a frequency determined by system clock 58 and in accordance with programming instructions stored in memory 60.
Microprocessor 56 determines the conductance of battery 12 by applying a current pulse I using current source 50. The microprocessor determines the change in battery voltage due to the current pulse I using amplifier 52 and analog-to-digital converter 54. The value of current I is generated by current source 50 is known and is stored in memory 60. In one embodiment, current I is obtained by applying a load to battery 12. Microprocessor 56 calculates the conductance of battery 12 using the following equation:
where ΔI is the change in current flowing through battery 12 due to current source 50 and ΔV is the change in battery voltage due to applied current ΔI.
Based upon the battery conductance GBAT and the battery voltage, the battery tester 10 determines the condition of battery 12. A temperature sensor 74 can be thermally coupled to battery 12 and used to compensate battery measurements. Temperature readings can be stored in memory 60 for later retrieval.
As discussed below in greater detail, battery tester 16 is programmed with information which can be used with the determined battery conductance and voltage as taught in the above patents to Dr. Champlin and Midtronics, Inc. For example, if the battery conductance GBAT is lower than a predetermined threshold for a particular battery at a particular voltage, microprocessor 56 determines that battery 12 has failed the battery test. For example, as explained in the Champlin patents, the tester can compare the measured CCA (Cold Cranking Amp) with the rated CCA for that particular battery. Microprocessor 56 can also use information input from input device 66 provided by, for example, an operator. This information may consist of the particular type of battery, location, time, the name of the operator.
Input device 68 may comprise one or more sensors, for example, or other elements which provide information such as ambient or battery temperature, time, date, humidity, barometric pressure, noise amplitude or characteristics of noise in the battery or in the test result, or any other information or data which may be sensed or otherwise recovered which relates to the conditions of the test how the battery test was performed, or intermediate results obtained in conducting the test. Additional test condition information is provided by microprocessor 56. Such additional test condition information may include the values of GBAT and battery voltage, the various inputs provided to battery tester 10 by the operator which may include, for example, type of battery, estimated ambient or battery temperature, type of vehicle (i.e., such as provided through the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) code for the vehicle) or the particular sequence of steps taken by the operator in conducting the test.
In some embodiments, the battery replacement output 82 can be a specific battery. However, in some embodiments, the battery replacement output is a list of battery replacement options from which a technician or customer can select as desired. For example, if the replacement battery information includes information related to battery price or brand, the replacement options can include this information such that a customer can select a particular replacement battery based upon cost or brand preference.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the particular battery testing techniques or flow charts illustrated herein. These have been provided as examples only. Battery tests can be modified as can the type of information in the battery environment information or in the battery replacement information. Any particular method or technique used to correlate the battery environment information and the battery replacement information with the battery replacement output can be chosen as desired. The battery replacement output can be provided locally as a visual, audio or other type of output, or can be transmitted to a remote location or stored or otherwise not immediately provided to a user or operator. The replacement output can, for example, be used to automatically have a battery delivered to the service area for a technician. Any type of input and output technique can be used to place information into or receive information from the battery tester including manual techniques or data communication techniques.

The Iraq war has turned from 'Mission Accomplished' into a hellhole with an indeterminate outcome. There are no WMDs. No links to Al Qaeda. No imminent threat as promised by the administration. In an alternate reality, a group of angry and disgruntled U.S. soldiers set out on a suicide mission to uncover the truth. Doing the unthinkable, they kidnap the Commander in Chief and interrogate him using the same techniques they were trained to inflict upon the people whose country they invaded.

What will you do to take advantage of Small Business Saturday? The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to place their trade with small, local and independent businesses, whether that's their local coffee shop, an online specialist retailer or the plumber round the corner. If everyone in the UK were to do two bits of business with a small enterprise on 7 December, the impact would be incredible.
Initiatives like these can sometimes feel gimmicky, but in the US, where Small Business Saturday was established in 2010, the results have been tangible and valuable. Their day takes place on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, traditionally one of America's busiest shopping days of the year, with people encouraged to use a small, independent business in their area.
Last year's event generated sales of $5.5bn (£3.4bn) for these small businesses on the day itself – plus it encouraged shoppers to engage with their local enterprises, often for the first time, which will have generated at least some repeat custom.
One notable feature of the US experience is the high-profile support it has attracted, both from politicians – President Obama made sure he was pictured visiting local shops last year – and from celebrities. It's therefore encouraging to see similar levels of support building here. Although it was Labour's shadow business minister, Chuka Umunna, who really got the ball rolling on a Small Business Saturday initiative for the UK, it has subsequently attracted cross-party backing.
Last week, the Prime Minister agreed to support the initiative and it is to be hoped he will put his money where his mouth is on the day itself. A range of small-business organisations are working on the initiative, which is also getting help from large companies such as American Express and O2. Local authorities are doing their bit too.
Ultimately, however, its success will depend on the extent to which small businesses themselves embrace the idea. Ingenious Britain, the campaigning group that works to promote small and medium-sized businesses, is urging them to capitalise on the initiative – and offering a range of materials to help them do so.
Get started by registering your support for the idea on Facebook – see www.facebook.com/SmallBusinessSaturdayUK – and then think about what you can do to promote the day. Ingenious Britain is promising to publish a range of material to help small businesses do that, ranging from digital images to physical signs and banners.
There's also a Twitter hashtag – @SmallBizSatUK – to help you publicise what you're doing. Many small businesses are working on incentives to encourage people to shop with them on 7 December – discounted prices, special offers or even free gift-wrapping.
But it's important to stress that Small Business Saturday isn't only aimed at retailers. Business-to-business companies can also get involved and offer promotions of their own.
The aim is to get critical mass – the greater the number of small businesses that embrace the idea, the more success it will have, particularly if they can find ways to work together. That might mean independent retailers getting together on the high street to promote the initiative, for example, or perhaps online businesses offering joint promotions.
Ingenious Britain says it has now contracted every MP and every local authority in the country, but individual requests and proposals for support from local businesses will add to the pressure for them to get involved.
Aim starting to show recovery signs
Has the Alternative Investment Market finally turned the corner?
Figures published today by the accountancy group UHY Hacker Young reveal that more companies joined Aim than left the junior market during the third quarter of 2013, the first time this has happened for six years. In all, 20 companies joined Aim between July and September while 16 delisted.
The last time new joiners outnumbered leavers was during the third quarter of 2007, just before the financial crisis exploded.
"There is a definite sense of optimism around Aim at present," said UHY Hacker Young partner Laurence Sacker. "Returning to growth for the first time since the credit crunch is a very significant moment for the market."
That optimism reflects the general market climate, with a steady increase in IPOs seen on many exchanges this year, as well as specific initiatives such as the Government's move to allow ISA investors to buy Aim shares.
Still, Aim's recovery is from a low base. While the 56 companies that have joined Aim over the last 12 months have together raised £881m from investors, 56 per cent more than in the previous year, the equivalent period during 2006 and 2007 saw Aim fund-raisings worth £8.8bn.
A code update task for QCA's new broom
Good luck to Michael Higgins, the chairman of the Alternative Investment Market-listed media business Ebiquity, who was last week unveiled as the new chairman of the Quoted Companies Alliance. The QCA's mission is to champion the interests of small to mid-sized quoted companies.
But there isn't always broad agreement on where those interests lie – and one priority for Mr Higgins should be to address the Corporate Governance Code that the QCA publishes for its members. This year's update was pretty cursory.
The code is a useful guideline for smaller companies that do not have to comply with the corporate governance requirements that larger quoted businesses face. Naturally, its suggestions are less demanding, which is only to be expected. But there has been a feeling among corporate governance groups that smaller companies too should be doing more to improve their practices.
The QCA says the onus should be on companies to explain themselves to shareholders, rather than to comply with a rigid set of rules. One takes the point, but a more demanding framework would improve the reputation of the small-cap sector.
Small Business Man of the Week: Daniel Callaghan, co-founder, MBA & Co
We founded the business in 2009 because we realised the inefficiencies and cost of traditional consultancy firms were making it difficult for companies with constrained budgets to bring people in to help them with potentially high-growth projects.
MBA & Co offers an online database of skilled independent consultants. To be listed on our site, you must have a postgraduate qualification from one of the world's top 50 business schools and at least five years' experience in business.
We now have listings for 16,000 consultants in 50 countries. They like working this way because it gives them greater control over their working lives and they can undercut the consultancies while still charging good day rates. Companies like the arrangement because it enables them to hire people with ultra-specific skills.
We don't charge for listings or for businesses to search the site. We get paid a share of the project fee when a hiring is made – and even then, we only receive milestone payments as the work progresses.
Our turnover will be about £5m this year, 100 per cent up on 2012. We think this can expand very rapidly. What we're doing is enabling the smallest start-up to access the same level of intellectual capacity as the world's largest corporates.Reuse content

Laura's Bio
HI, my name is Laura (27). I just moved back to Chicago in October where I lived for 26 years. I graduated with an A.A. from Wright College in 2008 with focus in early childhood education. I have taken child development, psychology, general psychology as well as basic courses and am cpr and first aid certified. I have about 8 years nanny experience with infants and toddlers and 2.5 years as a Teacher's aide at a pre-school (ages 3-5). The classrooms consisted of 17-20 children with 2 teachers so I am experienced with multiples as well. I have discovered that I enjoy being a nanny more so because there is more one on one time with the children. I like to do indoor and outdoor activities (reading, chalk, arts/crafts, painting), love to have fun, am outgoing, but also know when to be serious. I am very responsible and am trusted by many families. I have a big heart and am inspired by the children I care for. It brings me so much joy to watch these children grow up and develop and know that I have a part in that. I just recently had my first child October 3, 2014. ** I am looking for a family where I am able to bring my daughter with me because I do not have child care of my own at this time. ** Please contact me if this is something that will work for anyone. I am also available for babysitting.

Laura recently nannied for my 1yo daughter and I cannot say enough nice things about her! She brought her education background into our home and helped keep my little one entertained and learning at the same time. She made her own music CDs and ABC flash cards and was excited each morning to start a new day. If she had not moved out of the area, we would still be working with her today. Laura would be a great asset to any family.

As a retail company, it stands to reason that METRO GROUP has close ties with its various social environments. Every day, we cultivate relationships with many millions of people: people who work for or with us at our locations, people who shop at our stores, or people with whom we have some other relationship. Our social and environmental engagement in the places where we are based and interact with people is something that we also see as a means of adding value. This is because it helps to overcome social challenges. Our commitment to environmental and social issues therefore aims to foster intercultural dialogue, to lend support to our locations and their local communities, and to provide assistance directly to those in need. In this way, METRO GROUP meets its social responsibility as a corporate citizen.
Our social engagement in the Corporate Responsibility Report 2013/14
Key performance indicators related to our social engagement
Trust towards the various players forms the foundation of a company's acceptance by society. A key part of the work that goes into fostering this trust is interaction with our stakeholders: in addition to the close relationships maintained by our employees, suppliers and customers, there are many other people who come in contact with our company. Various expectations concerning our business actions arise from this interaction. In the interplay of company and social values, we view sustainable business management as a way to help to meet the challenges facing society within the context of our own business activities.

More on the dialogue between METRO GROUP and political decision-makers and associations involved in Public Policy
In addition to managing its businesses in a socially and environmentally responsible way, METRO GROUP supports sports and cultural projects and events. On the one hand, the company provides financial and material resources; on the other hand, it contributes the manpower of its employees and trainees.
The METRO GROUP Marathon Dusseldorf attracts thousands of participants each April to the Rhine metropolis. Through its longtime commitment as title sponsor, METRO GROUP demonstrates its close ties to Düsseldorf, its corporate home. The marathon also enjoys great popularity among METRO employees. Every year, the number of active participants rises; in 2016, 775 METRO runners took part in the event, including colleagues from the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Romania and Bulgaria.
Every year, the Düsseldorf festival proves again that there is no better city in which to celebrate an innovative festival which includes all the arts and which bears a clear, European signature. The festival, which is held in Burgplatz Square in the heart of the old part of the city, was first held in 1990 and has since never failed to delight a wide audience from the city and surrounding region. Up to 500 artists from all around the world enchant some 25,000 visitors with their music, dance and circus performances. Since 2005, METRO GROUP has supported the Düsseldorf Festival as its main sponsor.
Since spring 2006, METRO GROUP has been presenting works of art from the METRO Sculpture Park Foundation on the Group's premises in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The exhibits are a legacy which the METRO GROUP inherited from the takeover of Horten AG in the 90s. The METRO Foundation Sculpture Park takes the role of a model for city architectural design representing the coexistence of work, trade and art.
Moreover, the foundation promotes contemporary arts and culture in Düsseldorf. Under the patronage of the District President and in cooperation with the regional capital Düsseldorf and key representatives of the Düsseldorf arts scene, the METRO GROUP allows mainly young visual artists to present their works to a large audience.
Furthermore, the foundation awards scholarships to eligible artists and organises presentations and exhibitions.

All licensed child care centers are required to work with a Child Care Health Consultant. The CCHC works collaboratively with the program and provides many resources to assist the program in meeting or exceeding basic health and safety standards for children in group care.
The CCHC provides the legally required transfer of authority (delegation) so trained child care center staff can administer medication and implement the necessary special health care procedures for children in the program. In Colorado, a CCHC is either a currently Colorado licensed registered nurse with knowledge and experience in maternal and child health, a pediatric nurse practitioner or a family nurse practitioner, or a pediatrician.
Qualistar publishes Competencies for Child Care Health Consultants to help CCHCs improve their consulting skills and to help child care centers work with their health consultants more effectively.
