3.11 had a big impact on Japan. In Akita as well, earthquake shut down the lifeline. The picture is the convenience store in Goshono just 3 hours after the earthquake. We could not buy anything, lost water and gas. Students in AIU came together in cafeteria, and corrected food from all of campus.
30 hours later...
Getting back the electric, and we were surprised at the reality. On TV, we found the right side of Japan was almost collapsed by earthquake and tsunami. Spontaneously, students started to talk what we could do for them. It was the beginning of AIU SUPPORTER. Since then, we went to Tsunami area once a week for volunteer activity. Not only students, but also ALTs started correcting money, and sent fruits to the area.
3 years later...
With the hard work and many support from the world, tsunami area has been recovered a lot. At the same time, there are many problems exists. What is the reality? What can we learn from the disaster? I have got a contact from people from the area who are happy to share their story.

Eileen Remedios, a nurse by profession, was at her patient's house when someone stole her beloved bike, Metro.co.uk reported.
Hoping to get her bike back, 55-year-old Remedios wrote a note and stuck it to a lamppost near the spot of the theft.
By the next day, the self-proclaimed reformed thief returned her bike with a sincere apology note and keys to a brand new lock.
However, Remedios, who has asserted that the incident has restored her faith in humanity, returned to the lamppost and in an astonishing act of kindness, left a thank you note.

Giada Colagrande
Personality Number 6
Giada Colagrande is a female celebrity.
She was born on Thursday October 16th 1975, in Pescara, Italy.
Giada Colagrande radiates understanding and compassion. People sense her warmth and fairness. For this reason, Giada attracts many people who are in need of comfort, including the disadvantaged. People tend to come to her to unload their burdens. Colagrande inspires confidence.
Giada Colagrande has a fine sense of justice. She does everything in her power to keep the harmony and is even willing to sacrifice her personal desires for the good of others.
Giada can take this too far, however, sometimes playing the role of the martyr. She has to guard against being taken advantage of. Colagrande is not always a very good judge of character. She tends to see the best in others. She can also become too involved in the lives of others, to her own detriment. (This aspect can be balanced by other numbers in Giada's chart.)
Giada Colagrande is hospitable and domestic. She loves children and is a good parent. She is romantic, faithful and very protective.
She is artistic. Giada Colagrande loves music, flowers and gardening. She is a natural interior designer, and has an excellent sense of color and taste.
Giada is more concerned with the content of her personality than her appearance, which causes her to be less conscious of the style of her clothes. She is more interested in comfort and the utility of clothing than the statement it makes.
Six Personality Numbers are exceedingly generous. Giada Colagrande is not particularly logical when it comes to finances.
She is very vulnerable to praise and criticism. She also tends to worry a lot, causing stomach problems.
People see Giada Colagrande as a maternal or paternal figure. They want to relax in her presence and unburden themselves. Giada is the safe port in the crowd.
You and Giada
About Giada's Personality number
Colagrande's Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what Giada sends out, as well as what she allows to approach.
It discriminates in the kinds of people and information Giada Colagrande lets enter her heart and mind.

Okay I have made the mud cake recipe from here..The Dark Chocolate mudcake by boonenati. It is amazing and everyone loves it. I tried to make cupcakes out of it yesterday...they were not as nice. They taste lovely but they sunk in hte middle and stuck to the papers. I think maybe I should have cooked them a little longer...not sure. has anyone done this with success and do you have some hints? How long did you bake them for and at what temp?
Hi sorry I cant help but im interested too. Also, what is castor sugar in this recipe? n do you have the metric conversions for this recipe, I have always wanted to try it!
The Recipe is done by weight so that is easy. Caster sugar is a fine sugar. It is like normal white sugar only the grains are much smaller.
anyone? Please I am going to try again today and would love some advice

- Rendering a Feminist Theory of Entrepreneurship Visible
- Abstract:
- Schwartz (1972) is acknowledged as developing one of the first analyses of the impact of gender upon entrepreneuring; however, this strand of literature did not emerge as a coherent and continuous element of entrepreneurship theorizing until a decade later (Carter and Shaw, 2006). Since this early work, the literature has grown from a mere trickle to a veritable flood over the past ten years, resulting in an extensive body of research (Marlow, Henry and Carter, 2009). Nevertheless, recognition of feminist theory within this literature only emerged in the late 1990s with analyses by those such as Marlow (1997) and Mirchandani (1999). It has been notable that although the influence of gender has now achieved far greater recognition, the construct is still rarely theorised through feminist analyses, remaining largely a descriptive device (Ahl, 2004). Thus, drawing from a comprehensive literature review, we articulate the first advances towards a feminist theory of entrepreneurship.

1st July, 1868
On this day The New York Herald observed that the Democrats had to name a soldier to defeat General Grant, the Republican choice, putting forward the name of his greatest Civil War adversary, the Confederate General Robert E. Lee:
"But if the Democratic Committee must nominate a soldier - if it must have a name identified with the glories of the war - we will recommend a candidate for its favors. Let it nominate General R. E. Lee. Let it boldly take over the best of all its soldiers, making no palaver or apology. He is a better soldier than any of those they have thought upon and a greater man. He is one in whom the only genius of this nation finds its fullest development.
Here the inequality will be in favor of the Democrats for this soldier, with a handful of men whom he had molded into an army, baffled our greater Northern armies for four years; and when opposed by Grant was only worn down by that solid strategy of stupidity that accomplishes its strategy by mere weight. With one quarter the men Grant had this soldier fought magnificently across the territory of his native State, and fought his army to a stump.
There never was such an army or such a campaign, or such a General for illustrating the military genius and possibilities of our people; and this General is the best of all for a Democratic candidate. It is certain that with half as many men as Grant he would have beaten him from the field in Virginia, and he affords the best promise of any soldier for beating him again".
After Appomattox, Lee had faced indictment for treason. But he had won widespread admiration in the North by swearing renewed allegiance to the United States an act which brought tens of thousands of his former soldiers peaceably back into the Union.
As the President of Washington College at Lexington, he had established a modern University which set "an example of submission to authority". It was an example that Lee might set as a key unifying leadership figure in post-war America:
"True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary, at one period, to that which it does at another, and the motive which impels them the desire to do right is precisely the same".

Gus Hanson on a heater at Full Tilt Poker
Gus Hansen starting to rebound on Full Tilt Poker
After being down $3.6 million for 2010 Gus Hansen has gone on a massive heater over the past two weeks winning over $1.25 million in that time-frame. Still confronted with $2.2 million in losses on the year, Hansen has credited his recent success to winning his first WSOP bracelet at the WSOPE.
Hansen has been beating up on the other top player at the PLO tables on Full Tilt Poker lately, and with his style of play he is easily capable of a $5 million swing in either direction for the remainder of 2010. Hansen is coming off of a 2009 campaign that saw the Danish poker pro drop over $5 million at the Full Tilt Poker tables, which means he was approaching -$9 million before his recent up-tick, and regardless of his bankroll few players can withstand a $10 million downswing at the poker tables.
Hansen's struggles this year pale in comparison to Brian Townsend/sbrugby who is down over $4 million in 2010 to this point. Townsend is looking at his second straight losing year, and Townsend's struggles have been magnified by his transgressions with Full Tilt Poker's terms and conditions which he has violated twice; once for multi-accounting and a second violation for data-mining.

Spring Inspiration on Style Me Pretty
Wow - it's hard to believe that it's the end of June and the last post was in April! It's always a busy time between March and mid-June for us and this year's no different... If you want to keep up with what we're doing, follow us on Instagram (instgram.com/designsinpaper or @designsinpaper) since we post a photo pretty much every day there!

Trend watch: Copper!
It's almost mid-April, which means we're well into 2016 wedding invitation design and production. One trend that continues to remain strong in the industry is metallics - and especially copper this year. It pairs easily with a variety of colors to set the mood for your big day effortlessly - whether it be with black, dusty blue or blush and burgundy - it's definitely a headturning combo. Here's a few of our favorite copper elements we've done in the past months. ENJOY!
Spring, Speckled Eggs, Bunny and Watercolor
It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of March. March is that month that's very dynamic - from weather, life events and just general change in the world around me. Honestly, it has history of being THE big event month for me. LOTS of Big (wait, huge) things all have happened in March. Some have been great, some have been bad/sad/bittersweet, but they all have been BIG and life-changing. In the world of paper goods, it tends to be a really busy month - and this year's been no exception. So, in celebration of Spring, Easter and the dynamic March that is, here's some fabulousness featured on Wedding Chicks of the cutest speckled eggs, a bunny named Butterfinger and some really awesome watercolor paper goods... with the amazing styling of Firefly Events Nashville and captured perfectly by the uber-talented Jenna Henderson.

With brillant red and classic flowers, we created some romantic paper goods for this fabulous day at Historic Cedarwood - perfectly captured by Amilia Photography. Enjoy all the paper goods - and feel the love!

Swindon Museum and Art Gallery
The Swindon Museum and Art Gallery is in the Old Town area of Swindon. In 1930, Apsley House, which until then had always been a family house, was adapted to house the Museum Collection. The elegant staircase, decorative plaster work and stained glass details which originally graced family rooms have now become familiar to many visitors to the Museum and Art Gallery.
The Museum and Art Gallery has been housed together in this building for many years so it is little wonder that the name Apsley House has become largely forgotten. There remains however, a faint reminder for those with sharp eyesight, for the name is inscribed on the old gate posts, which formed the original entrance from Bath Road. Though that access is now blocked by railings, those stone posts remain and will do for a long time to come.
The aim of Swindon Museum and Art Gallery is to safeguard, enhance, exhibit and celebrate Swindon's collections for visitors, now and in the future.
The Museum was founded by Charles Gore in 1919 as a place to display his extensive geological collections. Gore was the first curator of the museum and the collections were built up following the fashions of the time, focussing on broad themes rather than local connections. He acquired natural history, egyptological and ethnographic collections, along with archaeological materials. Through time the collections have become more focussed on Swindon and the surrounding areas and we hold objects dating from prehistory to the present showing the development of the area and the people who lived in it.
In 1941 the art collection was established by an impressive donation of 21 works by a local businessman HJP Bomford. This collection has been built on and today Swindon Museum and Art Gallery owns a modern art collection of outstanding quality and importance. In addition we also hold an excellent collection of studio ceramics and a number of local artworks.

The Museum and Art Gallery is spread over several floors with no lift facilities, please contact us in advance if you have any access difficulties so we can plan ahead for you.
Housed in a listed building in Swindon's Old Town, the Swindon Community Heritage Museum and Art Gallery displays exhibits of local history, archaeology and geology. It tells the story of Swindon's jurassic past, its connections with the Roman Empire as well as the more recent social history of this thriving town. There is also a programme of temporary exhibitions taken from the museum collections. Unusual exhibits include a 4.5m (15ft) Indian crocodile, an Egyptian mummy of a 12-year-old boy, a unique Roman lead casket and glass urn and the Garrards collection of record turntables. Swindon's remarkable art collection is housed in the Swindon Art Gallery, which is adjacent to the Community Heritage Museum in Bath Road, Old Town, Swindon. It was established by local benefactor, H J P Bomford, during 1944 from a generous donation of works. These works form the nucleus of the collection and include many of the major British artists of the day such as Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, L S Lowry, Paul Nash and many others. Through an imaginative purchasing programme, the collection now has a reputation as one of the best of British 20th Century Art outside London. A more recent acquisition was Laundromat Locomotion, consisting of 12 photographs by Turner Prize short-listed artist, Steven Pippin. Artists in the collection include Terry Frost, Howard Hodgkin, Gwen and Augustus John, Maggi Hambling, Ivon Hitchens, Christopher Le Brun and Lisa Milroy. There is also a significant collection of studio pottery, with works by David Leach, Lucie Rie and Hans Coper among others.

Federal Hall Now Available for Private Events
October 26, 2016
Today, with the National Park Service, we announced the signing of a new agreement to manage the leasing of the site for private events. Under this agreement, Federal Hall's landmarked Grand Rotunda and other spaces are now available for use by individuals and entities on weekdays and weekends after public hours.
"This is a further expansion of our close and successful existing partnership with the Conservancy," said Superintendent of Manhattan Sites, Shirley McKinney, "it is a great next step to ensure that we can continue to preserve Federal Hall."
Revenue generated from this venture will contribute to our continued care and preservation of the landmark. For more information on leasing the site, contact Laura Herrera at 917-656-3748.
See our rentals page for floorplans and photos and read the news release.
Harbor Conservancy Benefit Celebrates 10 Years!
September 23, 2016
We marked our 10th anniversary this year at our Annual Benefit beneath the newly relit iconic rotunda dome of Federal Hall. The evening honored several luminaries leading the resurgence of Staten Island and looked forward to our next decade, which includes a major camping initiative in the borough.
Held on September 22, 2016, the gala featured a keynote by New York Times Urban Correspondent Sam Roberts on A History of the National Parks of New York Harbor in 13 Objects, as well as a special performance by the Howard Fishman Quartet.
Majestic Rotunda Dome Is Relit
September 1, 2016
We are excited to announce the relighting of Federal Hall's grand rotunda dome using the latest in LED technology from Philips Color Kinetics. The project, made possible through a generous donation from Philips to our Harbor Conservancy, is a joint effort with the National Park Service to improve the quality of lighting in the majestic space and to increase the energy efficiency of the site. Federal Hall's new Color Kinetics lights are the first for a national monument in New York City, however we join such icons as the Empire State Building on the cutting edge of lighting evolution.
Gallery Restoration Reveals Ghosts of the Past
May 25, 2016
We recently completed with the National Park Service a study of the historic interior and a pilot restoration project of one of the building's main galleries. The pilot project corrected decades of interventions, including removing stains and other unsightly discolorations from the marble as well as an accumulation of oil paint and spatters.
The eight week process revealed the gallery's prior use as office space through the ghosts of former partitions present on the newly bare piers and pilasters. These faded vertical and horizontal lines on the marble, marking the faces of former partition walls, can be attributed to interventions dating to the 19th century. These include the buildings first transformation in 1862 from a U.S. Custom House to a Sub-Treasury─ where steel-mesh partitions were installed─ and post Sub-Treasury in 1920, when several federal agencies were housed on-site.
This project, made possible through a grant from the New York Community Trust to our Harbor Conservancy, also included a survey of the historic windows and other marble and glass elements and yielded recommendations for future restoration and maintenance.
This Place Matters Campaign Transforms Facade
April 30, 2016
This Place Matters, a public awareness campaign by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express, transformed Federal Hall's Wall Street façade using large-scale graphics to celebrate the site's history and significance. The effort is part of a year-long partnership with the National Park Service and our Harbor Conservancy, to increase visitation and awareness of the site which also includes development of new visitor materials. Watch the time-lapse video of the transformation (1 minute).
National Trust Names Federal Hall a National Treasure
December 2, 2015
The National Trust for Historic Preservation today declared Federal Hall National Memorial a National Treasure and announced a new partnership with the National Park Service, our Harbor Conservancy and American Express to restore the iconic Wall Street steps. The day also marked the launch of This Place Matters, a public awareness campaign by the National Trust and American Express that encourages people to celebrate the places that are meaningful to them and to their communities.
"Federal Hall matters to our history, our culture, our understanding of our country, and to the past, present and future of Wall Street," said Stephanie K. Meeks, president and CEO, National Trust for Historic Preservation.

For those not in love with the Art & Science design theme, the CTS may be a disaster. For everyone else, however, it's a head-turning combination of modern looks and classic proportions. The Coupe is probably the most polarizing, with its chunky rear fenders, creased center leading to a pointed tail, and large, spoiler-like center-mounted tail light.
The Wagon doesn't come up short on style either, though, with an intentionally off-angle rear pillar shape to set off its glass edge. Almost tailfin-like details on its rear remind of Cadillacs past, but with a completely contemporary look. Wherever your eyes fall on the CTS, be it wagon, sedan, or coupe, they are eventually drawn to the slab-like, sculpted sides and back up to the sizable, shapely rear--particularly in the Coupe and Sport Wagon.
Inside, the 2012 CTS is attractive, but again, won't be to everyone's taste: it's American, with flowing contours and smooth surfaces highlighted by polished wood and plastic, chrome-finish accents, and leather upholstery. Almost all of the controls are busily packed into the V-shaped center console area, from which the navigation screen rises and hides at the top of the stack. It's elegant, but Teutonic sparseness is not in its vocabulary.n, both stylistically and functionally.

Could a Wheat-killing Fungus Turn the Whole World Gluten-Free?

Celiac.com 09/25/2014 - Nine out of ten wheat crops around the globe are susceptible to a killer fungus that attacks wheat. The pathogen is Puccinia rust fungus. Puccinia triticina causes 'black rust', P.recondita causes 'brown rust' and P.striiformis causes 'Yellow rust'.
Originally named Ug99, but now known as wheat stem rust, the fungus affects wheat, barley and rye stems, leaves and grains, and causes plants to rot and die just a few weeks after infection. Infections can lead up to 20% yield loss exacerbated by dying leaves which fertilize the fungus. The fungus regularly causes serious epidemics in North America, Mexico and South America and is a devastating seasonal disease in India, and a widespread outbreak could destroy flour supplies as we know them.
Previous solutions to the problem of wheat stem rust relied on simple crossbreeding. Beginning in the 1940s, breeders began combining rust-sensitive commercial wheat with hardier rust-resistant strains. However, those solutions were only temporary at best, as the rust always managed to find a way around rust-resistant genes after just three or four years.
Scientists now use what they say is a more effective method of thwarting rust, wheat breeding, called "pyramiding," in which multiple rust resistant genes are loaded onto a single wheat strain, potentially keeping rust at bay for decades to come, but pyramiding takes up to 15 years to produce a rust-resistant wheat strain. This means that the vast majority of wheat strains under cultivation could be subject to rust in the mean time.
Obviously, not all of the wheat strains susceptible to rust will be affected in any given year, but major outbreaks can and do happen. The possibility that large percentages of the world's wheat crops could be destroyed by rust are very real, hence the intensity of the efforts to develop rust-resistant strains as quickly as possible.
However, if these efforts fail, or lose traction, look for non-wheat crops to fill the gap. That will mean large numbers of people going gluten-free for reasons having nothing to do with celiac disease or dietary fads.

Rather than hybridizing with rust resistant strains, why not just plant the rust resistant strain?

Most often, the disease-resistant strains of crops are poor-yielding, or have other susceptibilities that make them undesirable. Before wheat was domesticated (more than 10,000 years ago), the wild ancestor was pretty worthless to grow for food. Thankfully, there are some 25,000 cultivars of wheat that have been developed, so there is a lot of genetic diversity that the breeders can tap into. But they are always only one step ahead of the pathogens -- for any crop.

Good question. Likely for reasons having to do with lower yields, less favorable characteristics, lower resistance to other pests, and other factors.

That's "cool" only if you are happy about world-wide starvation! And wheat is not the only grain crop that has gluten, so we would still have the same worries. There is no universally safe food for all people. In China, more people have an intolerance to rice than to wheat. Not only that, every single crop has it's own set of pathogens. (Just look up "rice diseases" in Wikipedia.) Breeders have the same problems in other crops as in wheat, and are applying the same technique of breeding in multiple resistances in an effort to keep ahead of pathogens. But pathogens are clever organisms and can adapt to mechanisms of resistance. Disease isn't good for people or plants. celiac disease is a heavy burden, but not an excuse to dump food sources of other people.

Another good reason to be gluten free and GMO free. Wheat is so far from the original plant, it's starting to get scary.

If wheat were not so far from the original plant, it would not be a source of food today. The same goes for all the other grains, most of which are even farther from the original ancestor than wheat. Before crops were domesticated, there was no agriculture. People hunted and they gathered grains and berries from plants that yielded such meager nutrition that they had no time to do anything else but try to keep themselves fed. Domestication was accomplished by stone age plant breeders using some of the same approaches that are used today.

I have created a form and it's been disabledAsked by alisonr on November 20, 2015 at 09:44 AM
A quotation form I created has been disabled. It was working - if I try to enable it I only get the disable option.
I've created the form to be used internally as a quotation tool and have modified the notifier to send to the customer in the format of a quotation.
Can you tell me what's happened and resolve this for me?
JotForm Support
Hi Alison,
One of your forms is asking for a username and a password and this triggered our system phishing filter to suspend your account. Forms like this are not allowed in Jotform. We consider it as phishing which is against our Terms of Use. I have just reactivated your account, but I have deleted the said form.
The form is asking for ConnectPay details.
Again I was setting up an internal form that we would use to send the customer a welcome pack to our systems. We are a payment services provider and ConnectPay is our payment gateway.
We would be populating those fields and passing them to the customer. Is that the only form that has been deleted? That's fine I was just experimenting with it anyway.
JotForm Support
You may consider giving your customers a direct link to your payment gateway (ConnectPay) instead of asking them for the details using the form. That is the safest method. Or, send them the details through email.
I'm sorry, but yes, I have the deleted the form - only the mentioned form.

Episode 620 of 923 episodes
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 18, 2016 is: panoptic \pan-OP-tik\ adjective : being or presenting a comprehensive or panoramic view Examples: The new security cameras installed in the jewelry store capture panoptic views of the entrance and display cases. "Interweaving the narratives of an aristocratic uptown family, an underground punk band, a Long Island adolescent, a black gay aspiring writer, and a journalist determined to uncover the obscure connections between them all, the more-than-900-page novel … casts a panopticlens on 1970s New York City…." — Lauren Christensen, Vanity Fair, October 2015 Did you know? The establishment of panoptic in the English language can be attributed to two inventions known as panopticons. The more well-known panopticon was conceived by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham in 1787. Bentham's panopticon was a circular prison with cells arranged around a central tower from which guards could see the inmates at all times. The other panopticon, also created in the 18th century, was a device containing pictures of attractions, such as European capitals, that people viewed through an opening. Considering the views that both inventions gave, it is not hard to see why panoptic (a word derived from Greek panoptēs, meaning "all-seeing") was being used by the early 19th century.

Just under a year a go i purchased a second hand car from 'Century Motors' in Sheffield.
I have decided now that i would like a brand new car, and everything is going through fine.
Until now, the dealer has HPI checked the car and it has outstanding finance on it.
What can come of this?

Bluecube ICT is an IT service provider.
well when you bought the car it was maybe still under finance from the previous owner.. so i say go back to the car company you bought it from
Apr 26, 2012 at 5:22 UTC
I assume that the outstanding finance is not yours? If it is, you just pay it, or the dealer will knock it off the px value and pay it for you.
If it is from a previous owner, I am suprised the finance company has not repossed the car before now. Sadly, it is quite common for someone to finance a car, then sell it and pocket the cash, only for the new purchaser to lose it to the finance company without getting anything back.

An aerospace firm has been ordered to pay £725,000 after being found guilty of corporate manslaughter. At the Old Bailey on 24 July, the Company was found guilty of breaching Section 1(1) of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act and Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASWA).
Mr Bowers died at the Company's warehouse in 2013 after becoming trapped under a stack of stringer (strips of metal used in aircraft structures) when they fell as he made his way down a designated safe walkway.
The case outcome
The Company was fined £600,000 for the corporate manslaughter breach and £400,000 for the HASWA offence. The fines will run concurrently, so the Company will pay a total of £600,000 in fines plus £125,000 in costs. This represents the 14th conviction for Corporate Manslaughter in the UK and reinforces the view that prosecutions under the Act are still continuing to gather momentum. The Company has a turnover of approximately £70million and pre-tax profits of £1 million, meaning the fine is extremely significant both for the size of the corporate entity and as a measure of the fines being imposed. It is striking that this is the largest fine handed down by the courts for this offence to date, £100,000 higher than the fine handed down to Sterecycle where an employee was fatally injured in an explosion at a waste plant when the door to an autoclave blew out under pressure.
The Crown Prosecution Service stated that the stringers, delivered at the company's request, had collapsed as a result of the dangerously high levels of stock in the warehouse. Particular failings included allegations that the Company had "ignored repeated and clear warnings about the dangers of their stock levels, refusing to take action partly because it was considered too expensive". The Company was warned ahead of the accident that there were potentially disastrous consequences if nothing was done to address this issue. The fine handed down in this instance is testament to the fact that the presence of aggravating factors, namely failure to heed warnings or advice, whether from regulators such as the HSE, or employees (especially Trade Union or Health and Safety representatives) or other persons; or to respond appropriately to 'near misses' arising in similar circumstances; and cost-cutting at the expense of safety will exacerbate fine levels.
The new guidelines
The New Draft Sentencing Guidelines explicitly state that the most significant effect is that large companies where there is evidence of high culpability and the placing of "profit before safety" culture will be the hardest hit. If, as anticipated, the new Draft Sentencing Guidelines are implemented in early 2016, large organisations committing Corporate Manslaughter could face fines of up to £20 million with fatal health and safety offences carrying fines of up to £10 million. Especially in more serious offences with aggravating circumstances, the courts will give no longer have regard to the fact that potential fines might have the inevitable effect of putting a company out of business. Companies whose turnover significantly exceeds the guidelines figure of £50m for a "large" company may be "very large" companies under the guidelines and as such run the risk of even higher fines, particularly following a recent decision in the Court of Appeal applying the similarly constructed Environmental Sentencing Guidelines.
The growing number of corporate manslaughter prosecutions combined with the anticipated implementation of the new guidelines should alert those responsible for corporate governance to the need to ensure they have obtained competence advice and support in relation to their health and safety obligations.

The dynamic design of this mens choker centers on a focal bead with a stylized vine carved to reveal the white color beneath. The brown hue of the skillfully carved focal bead is picked up by the magnesite tube beads which comprise the basis of the necklace. The magnesite beads are mottled deep browns and saturated greens. I interspersed gold plate Tierra Cast disc beads and sand colored bone beads to create contrast and separated the magnesite beads with trios of dark brown rondelle bone beads. A bronze hook clasp completes the design.
The necklace measures 19 inches in length, and the focal bead measures 1 ½ inches. In early American history magnesite was used as currency as well as jewelry. It has also been used traditionally to assist in meditation and creative visualization. This choker features magnesite in a design that is both bold and dynamic.
An eclectic selection of original jewelry, classic accessories, and vintage jewelry.
Welcome summer with unique artisan jewelry or fabulous vintage finds!

The 1974 Dodge Challenger was a larger car than some competing models. The 198.2-in vehicle featured a 110-in wheelbase, and it weighed 3,225 lbs. It was one of the last of the muscle cars. For every one of the preceding model years, Challenger sales exceeded 22,000 units. However, only 11,354 Challengers rolled off the assembly line for the 1974 model year that ended in April.
Arrival of the 360 Engine
The standard V6 engine for 1973 was eliminated, making the 318 cu-in V8 the base engine. The engine featured a two-barrel carburetor, and it was rated at 150 hp. For the 1974 model year, the 340 engine was dropped in favor of a 360 cu-in V8 with a four-barrel carburetor. The 245-hp power plant produced more low-end torque than its predecessor, lighting up the tires with ease.
Engines were either mated to a standard 3-speed manual, a 4-speed manual or an automatic transmission. An electronic ignition was now standard. The optional power front disc brakes featured a one-piece rotor for the first time.
Sleek Body Styling
The Challenger's distinctive body styling made it look fast, although federal law now required the front bumper to withstand 5 mph impacts. As a result, the front bumper and its large rubber pads protrude further out from the body than the earlier Challenger bumpers. The optional Challenger Rallye package included dummy air ducts on the front fenders.
Air conditioning and a rear window defroster were optional accessories, although AC was not available with the three-speed manual transmission. Seats were more comfortable than those in the earlier second-gen models. Consumers had their choice of white, black, dark green and blue interiors.
Highly Collectible Muscle Car
Today, the 1974 Challenger is a highly collectible car. Some enthusiasts have swapped out the engine, adding a big Hemi or 440 big block to invoke the power of earlier second-generation Challengers. According to Hagerty, Concours-quality restorations command an average of $37,700. Those wanting to dress up a Challenger currently in fair or good condition may find examples in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.

MANHATTAN, Kansas – Kansas State women's basketball used a balanced performance and a strong second quarter to record the program's 300th win in Bramlage Coliseum with an 82-62 decision over Tulsa on Monday night.
Kansas State (2-0) had five players in double figures led by All-American candidate Breanna Lewis with 18 points, six rebounds and two blocks.

Tulsa (1-1) was paced by Erika Wakefield and Ebony Parker with 15 points each.
Kansas State opened the first quarter with a 13-5 lead with 5:14 to play in the quarter. The opening run was highlighted by 4-of-5 shooting from the field including a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws from Kindred Wesemann. Tulsa clawed back into the game with a 10-4 run to close the first frame down two, 17-15.
The Wildcats rebuilt its lead to seven, 28-21, with 7:19 to play in the second quarter. Goth carded a pair of layups and Willock followed with a layup of her own following a baseline dish from Martin.
Tulsa hit three consecutive 3-pointers to pull to within two, 32-30, with 5:29 remaining in the half. K-State responded by ending the half on a 14-3 run to hold a 46-33 halftime lead.
During the run, a pair of newcomers to the roster each contributed five points as junior guard Karyla Middlebrook notched five straight points followed by freshman Peyton Williams scoring five straight. In total, the Wildcats registered 29 points in the second quarter on 65.0 percent shooting (13-of-20).
Kansas State increased its halftime lead to 17, 57-40, with 4:54 remaining in the third quarter. Wesemann tallied her second 3-pointer of the game, followed by a long two-point jumper to increase the lead.
The Golden Hurricane would narrow the game to 16, 61-45, with 2:27 to play in the third stanza. K-State responded with a pair of three-point plays by Martin and Williams to increase the lead to 22, 67-45. A pair of Wakefield jumpers to close the quarter brought the score to 67-49 entering the final frame.
The Wildcats kept Tulsa at arms' length in the final quarter, cobbling together a 15-13 edge in points.
For the night, Kansas State shot 50.0 percent (34-of-68) from the field and held Tulsa to 41.1 percent shooting (23-of-56). The Wildcats register an enormous edge in the paint, outscoring the Golden Hurricane, 60-12, in the lane.

If you've spent 5 minutes on Pinterest, you've seen what some very lucky and very well off husbands and wives have managed to put together, no doubt with an equally high priced wedding planner, that have made you and just about every other soon to be bride absolutely envious or maybe you are the type who barely cares about this thing called a wedding and would prefer to do it as cheaply as possible, but you don't quite want to just call it a day and head to the courthouse (although, if you do, problem solved). Now if you are the first type of future bride as much as it hurts, you are going to have to let go of the idea of hiring members of the Philidelphia Orchestra to play you down the aisle and leave behind lofty notions of lobster and cavier for a 100. When you feel thing pang of the realities of your budget, remind yourself over and over AND over again, that your wedding should first and foremost be about your union with your future husband, and everything else is just extra icing on the cake.
1. Flowers
Be unique and ditch real flowers by creating centerpieces out of non-living material. Origami a set, dollar store vases with tea lights or old bottles and candles, use vintage, borrowed, or thrifted pieces to create whimsical centerpieces. If the real thing is still your thing, save dramatically by ordering flowers wholesale or literally go to your local super market grocery store/Costco/Sam's club floral section, buy some pre-made floral arrangements, wrap them in decorative DIY floral tape and trim down the rest, and dunk them in dollar store glass vases for cheap. They only need to last a day or two anyway.
2. Music
Rent some speakers, and hook up your iPod for your own playlist. I would recommend however, still having someone designated to work the iPod, cut the music when need be, or start it when need be so you don't have to and can focus on your guests. You can ask a local schools or colleges for up and coming musicians who will play for free or cheap for the experience or for a gig. You can hit up Craigslist in search of wedding bands (make sure you do your homework and make sure they are legit).
3. Bridesmaids dresses/Groomsman's attire
Go off the res, and ask your groomsmen to just wear a black or navy suit, or your girls to wear (whatever color) dress of their choosing rather than go through the long process of going through a bridal shop (trust me, this will instantly make your girls happy to actually wear something they like/feel comfortable in). Of course you get final approval! Or go with them to your local department store, thrift store, or store of your choice to guide them in picking something that looks cohesive.
4. Bridal/Grooms wear
Brides try renting a gorgeous designer white gown for the day from Renttherunway.com (you can also rent the bridemaids dresses) Grooms can rent their attire at local stores or just wear a nice suit or outfit they already have. Have a good friend design your dress as a gift for you, re-purpose your mom's wedding dress via a seamstress into something new for your day. Go down to the department store and search out a white dress.
5. Food
Many popular restaurants and chain restaurants actually cater. Why not get Chik-fil-a for 100 or a taco buffet for 50 or who doesn't like a bit of KFC value pack meals for all. Your guests will be hungry and will eat what you serve up. Don't focus so much on having to serve the same plain boring braised chicken and veg dishes that your four cousins did. Everyone does that. Step out and go for that comfort food option. You can also enlist a few of your chef-y friends to make some main dishes or the desserts and only use catering for part of the meal. Drinks/Alcohol you can pick up at Sam's/Costco/Grocery store for cheap.
6. Location
Search your local area for areas that allow events in public spaces for cheap or for free. You may have to have them on an off day that's not a weekend, so that is something to consider. Or have a pop up wedding. Show up with your guests someplace meaningful or in a creative space and simply have a short sweet to the point wedding, no chairs, no decor, and then head to your house or another more budget friendly rental for the reception. Remember to ask EVERYONE you can from your boss to your next door neighbor if anyone has land, a house, a space that you can borrow for free. It never hurts to ask, and don't be ashamed to say you are on a budget. People will be willing to work with you.
7. Jewelry
Borrow it, or find it at Claire's or seek out replicas of your favorite pieces. Unless your photographer is so close you can hear them breathing, no one will really know the difference or care if your jewels are real or fake. Plus if you borrow your jewels, that takes care of your 'something borrowed."
8. Make-up/hair
DIY, ask a friend, hit up the make-up counter for a free make-over. DIY your hair or have a friend do it or rock a wig (it's hidden under a veil most of the time anyway).
9. Photography
Have guests take photos on their phones to send to a website of your choice. Ask everyone you know if they know someone who is good at photography or will give you massive discount. Craigslist or photography schools for up and coming students looking for experience.
9. Gifts for Guests
Hit up the dollar store, give each guests your favorite candy bar, or buy some dollar store frames and put your favorite quote inside, or find something themey for the date or season or simply look in the dollar store wedding section for some cheap gifts.
10. Additional Tips
Become the queen of asking for help and accepting it. Your financial situation is what it is and there is no shame in that. Do not underestimate family and friend's willingness to help you whether its through their free labor for the day or items they will lend you, or friends they know who can help you. Be frank and honest with family especially about your situation so they can stop insisting you need to have 500 guests if you truly cannot afford to do so.
Instead of a bunch of little things that quickly add up to cost, focus on that one big ticket item you want...maybe you want a professional make-up artist, or a designer gown...but save up for those with the knowledge that you will have to definitely get creative or beg, borrow, DIY, or ditch most other items on your list to make it happen.
Learn to DIY. Pinterest, youtube, friends who've done their own weddings, the DIY network...learning to make something yourself will not only make your wedding much more personal but will save you money. Just make absolutely sure you enlist a lot of help or you a lot double the time you think you'll need to complete a task just in case things go wrong or you run out of supplies last minute.
Scratch a fellow businesses back. Again with the 'it doesn't hurt to ask.' Offer free advertisements and passing out of business cards to a company, friend, or business if they'll let you use their services at steep discount or for free.
