Bangalore: Private terminal operators at state-owned ports can now set cargo handling rates based on standard capacity of their facilities rather than on actual volumes handled, after the tariff regulator for India's 12 government-owned ports confirmed a new model for fixing the rates.
The new approach, effective immediately, will be applied in tariff revision cases at all container terminals operated by private firms at state-owned ports, said an official with the Tariff Authority for Major Ports, or TAMP.
Boosting revenues: The regulator said its revised approach will allow DP World Ltd to raise cargo handling rates by 18% at its container terminal in Jawaharlal Nehru Port, the country's busiest port. Ashesh Shah / Mint
In an order notified on 13 January, the tariff authority said it has firmed up a revised approach that will allow DP World Ltd to raise cargo handling rates by 18% at its container terminal in Jawaharlal Nehru Port, the country's busiest port.
The regulator had earlier allowed the DP World-run Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal Ltd (NSICT) to temporarily raise rates by 10.3% from 1 October based on the standard capacity and efficiency of the terminal, as stated in an order notified on 29 September.
"The new approach will reduce the tariff impact on port users," the tariff authority's official said on condition of anonymity because he's not authorized by the regulator to speak to the media. "It also encourages an efficient terminal operator to handle higher volumes to improve his returns. The additional revenues thus earned could be used to meet the annual revenue share payouts to the government."
The new model, however, will apply only to terminals that have improved efficiency in marketing and operations, or have invested more capital to be able to handle containers in excess of their designed capacity. In a discussion paper circulated among stakeholders, the regulator admitted the previous efficiency parameters for revising tariffs were "restricted in its application to cost reduction alone".
"Providing cushion for cost reduction may not always reward the whole range of efficiencies, particularly the volume increase beyond capacity levels," the regulator had said.
Operators including DP World, the world's fourth-biggest port operator, had asked for fixing tariff with reference to standard capacity and not based on actual traffic so that the benefits of volume efficiencies would be available to them.
The NSICT terminal, for instance, handles 1.47 million standard containers a year, more than double the original designed capacity of about 600,000 containers.
Yet, between 2005 and 2006, the regulator cut rates at NSICT cumulatively by 25%. Last month, it cut rates at the Tuticorin container terminal by 34%. Under the previous cost-plus model, the tariffs were fixed by adding 15% to the actual costs.
DP World and PSA International Pte Ltd, which runs a terminal at Tuticorin port, have argued that their facilities were hit by a policy issued by the ministry of shipping on 29 July 2003, much after they started operations.
The policy ruled that royalty or revenue share paid by private terminal operators to the port trusts would not be allowed as a cost item while computing tariffs.
The ministry had issued this policy after it found that private firms were quoting steep revenue share to the government to win projects and then recovered the same from port users. This resulted in high container handling rates for port users.
The port privatization policy requires the terminal operator to share annual gross revenues with the government. The bidder quoting the highest revenue share percentage gets the deal. Since the royalty or revenue share paid by a private entity to the government is not included in the cost while fixing the tariff, these entities had argued that it was making their operations commercially unviable.
After private operators represented that they were losing money because of the policy, the shipping ministry issued another guideline to the regulator to allow the annual revenue paid by them to the government as a cost item for fixing tariffs.
This, however, came with a rider. To avoid likely loss to the operator, the ministry said the extent of passthrough of revenue share into tariffs would be limited to the maximum quoted by the second highest bidder in the tendering process.
By adopting the standard capacity model, the regulator hopes to progressively phase out even the benefit of partial passthrough of royalty or revenue share in computing tariffs available to terminal operators, and free the port users from this burden.
For instance, as per the ministry's directive, NSICT is entitled to claim 69.5% of the annual revenues it pays the Jawaharlal Nehru Port as part of the contract, as a cost item while setting tariffs. "But with the new model, this percentage is reduced to about 46%," the authority official said.
For port projects finalized after July 2003, the annual revenue paid by the private operators to ports are not considered for setting tariffs.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Mark Twain
This is Mark Twain's first novel about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, and it has become one of the world's best-loved books. It is a fond reminiscence of life in Hannibal, Missouri, an evocation of Mark Twain's own boyhood along the banks of the Mississippi during the 1840s. "Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred," he tells us. This is a book one never forgets: Tom whitewashing Aunt Polly's fence, Tom and Huck's dreadful oath, their cure for warts ("spunk water" and dead cats), Tom's puppy love for Becky Thatcher, the boys playing "pirate" on Jackson's Island.

This Mark Twain Library text is the only edition since the first (1876) to be based directly on the author's manuscript and to include all of the "200 rattling pictures" Mark Twain commissioned from one of his favorite illustrators, True W. Williams.

Anderson could keep his ten o clock slot. It really makes no sense to have two hours of his show sandwiched between Piers to begin with.

Trashing Anderson is wrongheaded. He made an ass of himself going the daytime talk show route. I agree. But he won't be the first nor the last media personality to do that.
The fact is, he was doing a good job with his segments at 60 Minutes for CBS, and he absolutely did have respect as a journalist a few years ago, when he'd go to combat zones or cover big stories.
That was before CNN, desperately convinced him to try on a different role. Anderson needs to go back to reporting. He might even consider going full time on a 60 Minutes type magazine show.
As for CNN, until they run Piers Morgan out of town and get rid of that motley 3rd rate crew beginning with Wolf, Candy, Dana, Roland Martin, Gergen, and all the rest, they are doomed.
Back in the day, when Christiane Amanpour and Anderson were reporting, and Fareed Zacharias was commenting, Nic Robertson, etc. they had a good team. John King I'd keep because I like his maps.
Remember the HBO movie with Michael Keaton and David Suchet about the first Gulf War and how CNN got in there, and really reported? Those were the days! Except Ted Turner was still in charge then wasn't he?
If CNN wants to do the world a favor, they could hire Luke Russert. I never watch CNN anymore, but I like MSNBC and NBC. I'd rather not look at Luke. He's such an ass he can't even command the English Language properly in his reports.
I can't comment on Ann Curry. IMO she never did anything to distinguish herself. She's parsley.

A talk show for housewives was his biggest career-move disaster. I think they felt they could turn him into an Ellen.... but she's genuinely witty. He's not. And the dopey humble-guy shtick gets tired real fast.
Next biggest career move disaster is the NewYearsEve thing. What-in-the-world could doing New Years EVe in Times Square possibly add to his career?
The other disaster is Kathy Griffin. I like her in small doses... but middle America is not going to warm up to her. She thinks she's Joan Rivers but she's a 3rd rate imitation. Besides, Rivers has been in the public eye for nearly 50 years, and there's only room for one.
So why associate himself so closely with Griffin? If anything, it has benefited her career and not his.
They're trying to create for him a young hip image with a broad appeal.... but true cool would have been honing his brand as a genuine journalist.

I'm with R69. It's a mystery other than a possible personal motive in the maligning of AC. And R65 Anderson is wealthy in his own right and stands to inherit a nice fortune from Gloria one day. I know what you say is tongue in cheek but it is very exaggerated. Anderson Cooper will NEVER be living in a box. And I'd prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that Ben loves him for more than his money.
P.s. Since we really have no inside info regarding AC and Ben's relationship it is quite possible that they were having problems when that photo of Ben in the park was taken.

Anderson Hayes Vanderbilt Copper is a USER. As long as his "trade" does exactly what he is told there will be no problems. And when I say that I'm not trying to disrespect Ben. That's just the way Anderson treats him, like his servant. I used to clown Ben all the time but I actually feel sorry for the guy after hearing how Anderson can truly be when in a relationship. As soon as Ben grows some balls like "the others" did and not follow Anderson's every directive they will break up as well. Anderson will have no use for him anymore.
Now that his daytime show is being cancelled and his evening show may be cancelled or reduced AC is allowing Ben to be seen at times. If you recall a year ago they broke up and Ben was no where to be found because AC had refused to be seen with him even at x-mas parties and events because he was paranoid of what his straight and people in the business might think of him. He was very ashamed. He has nothing to lose anymore. His worst fears have come to fruition but it's not because of him being gay. It's the way he turned his nose at his followers (so many of them gay) all these years and refused to acknowledge who he really was.
Now that he's "out" people could care less. Now that he's talking about "gay issues" people could care less. Now that he's speaking up for gay causes people could care less. Now that he has stopped bashing President Obama people could care less. He's made his bed and now he has to lie in it. Anderson played his hand and lost BIG TIME!

The facts say that Anderson and Ben are a happy, stable and committed couple and the only ones who disagree with that and try to throw water on it are those crazies like R98 who can't face facts and therefore have to name-call those of us who deal in reality and facts. There is nothing in R98's scenario about AC and Ben that is remotely true, if it were, they would not be together, but they are and that's what gets to the crazies like R98.
And maybe R98 if you "cared less" about AC and Ben the way you think others do or should (btw the term is actually "couldn't care less",) you wouldn't feel the need to post nonsense and lies about either of them, but you care VERY MUCH about this subject and you know it.

I suspect that we will be seeing a lot more of Ben in the coming weeks. Anderson is no idiot, he hearing the gossip and knows that Zucker wants him gone. So he is going to trot his piece out in public, to put Jeff in an interesting position. Does Zucker really want to be the new guy in charge and his first big move is to fire the out gay guy?

You are confusing CARING with people who like to GOSSIP. This is a gossip site isn't it? Please don't create even more creases in your face worrying about what other people think and SAY about AC. Move to Pakistan if you believe in censorship. Again I COULD CARE LESS about his fake allegiance to the gay community all of a sudden.

Oh, my:
Whatever its ratings or its commercial prospects — the network is still believed to be profitable — I cannot help but wonder if CNN may have already jumped that shark. On Monday night, news of a deal to avert the fiscal cliff had already broken, and most networks were killing time with retrospectives and celebrity interviews. With midnight approaching, I flipped to CNN, where Anderson Cooper was camped out in Times Square. It wasn't pretty.
It was bad enough that Cooper — an intelligent, impartial journalist who's put his life on the line in disaster areas and war zones often in his career — was paired, once again, with the thoroughly unentertaining Kathy Griffin, who is apparently also famous for some reason. (I'm not being intentionally dismissive — I honestly have no idea what else she is known for, but I grant that the first time I saw on on the New Year's Eve CNN special, she was vaguely familiar.) Griffin's purpose in the broadcast seems primarily to make Anderson Cooper giggle and blush — which she accomplished this year by pretending to perform oral sex on him live on air.

Anderson likes young good looking bucks. One guy has never and will never be enough for him. Nothing wrong with that. I'm sure Ben is the same way. Leave them alone.

Does Conrad Black still own the National Post? Though he's right in his conclusion about the crap the CNN serves up, it figures that a conservative paper's columnist calls Cooper "impartial" when he has been tougher on the Democrats throughout the election process and was leading their Benghazi charge (WTF ever happened with that?). The people commenting actually think that CNN leans towards the Democrats. OK. Either they are Canadians who don't watch CNN and have no clue as to the content or they're tea bagger types who drink the Fox Koolaid.

The thing about AC is that he can go both ways, serious and funny without losing his cred. When he's talking to political figures on 360, I don't think about talk show AC and vice versa. He's always been able to do both easily. Lots of talk shows fail these days, Katie is doing ok but she's not a blockbuster hit either.

Exclusive Premiere: Jake Miller Raps His Way Into Your Heart With "Hey You" Music Video
Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:07:26
Eminem Photos
Eminem Videos
ARTISTdirect.com has partnered with indie hip-hop star Jake Miller to premiere his video for "Hey You." Miller, 18, was born in Washington, DC, but grew up in Florida. His rapid-fire, nasal style is similar to that of Eminem.
At a very early age, young Jake was captivated by all types of music, especially the boy band 'N Sync. As a teenager, Miller found his true passion and that was hip-hop. It's a good thing that he got in touch with his hip-hop side, because the kid, like America, has got talent.
A little back story: When Miller's 10th grade English teacher assigned a creative writing project to her students, the rest of his classmates turned in short stories and poems. Miller, however, handed over a CD of songs that he wrote. That was his first experience as a songwriter. We hope he got an "A" on that project.
Watch the video for his song "Hey You" now, which features the rapper in a variety of colorful tees and hoods.
What is your favorite thing about Jake Miller's "Hey You" video?
—Amy Sciarretto

Inside the Room of Your SoulApr. 24th, 2009 11:03 am
Stolen from yunafire, never read a thing so perfect for me, especially about the trust:
|Your Soul is Searching
You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.
You believe that people see you for how you are, not how you look. But deep down, you know that's not exactly true.
Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

On a tingly warm day where the sky exploded in a deep vibrant blue display, the air ushered in cool spring breezes and a buzzing anticipation of the day that was about to unfold. An anticipation that was brimming to the edges with a steadfast joy knowing that they would soon be one. So there it was, under that incredible cobalt sky, the fabulous Sandy and Ronnie, made their union official for life in front of an energetic gathering of family and friends. Exchanging doting gazes, gazes that said "I am so excited to be yours", and fingers intertwining tightly in celebration of their new life together.
Sandy and Ronnie! Congratulations and I hope you are enjoying newly married life! Thank you so much for the opportunity to shoot your beautiful special day! It was truly an honor - not just to photograph such a milestone in your life, but to know you. You two are perfect :)
Here are my favourites from their day:
If you didn't believe that the sky that day was literally amazing, here is a photo to prove it. We had gorgeous weather!
Love this below shot that Bailie took of the church! :D
This little girl was making faces and posing for the camera all day. I kid not!
Then it was off to make some more pretty pictures for the newlyweds! :D
Totally candid! Love moments like this! :D
And then, hands down my favourite shots for the day.. the light was incredible and so was this little spot we stumbled upon! :D
At the reception, this little girl didn't stop showing her pretty face for the camera! :D
And then the bridal waltz! :D
JSP ring shot to end the night ;)
Huge thanks also goes out to Bailie for helping me shoot this wedding! You are always awesome to work with and such a fabulous addition to the day! :D

Good morning wrestling family! I just sent out an email regarding a joint practice and scrimmage. For some reason about 1/3 of you didn't receive it based on undeliverable addresses not sure if I typed them on wrong or not. Anyway to get down to business, I have been in contact with a former coach of mine( BTW he's the bomb.com) he's generous enough to hold a joint practice between our 2 teams at his gym. The date we've picked is Sunday Dec 4 at 10am-12pm. This is a great opportunity for our new guys to get to feel what wrestling and drilling with an opponent feels like. I understand this wasn't a scheduled event so I get it if you have prior obligations. But we'll be glad to have you their team is almost the same exact size and skill level as ours, we match up tremendously. Any questions call/text/email me!
Address: 4403 Sylvon Blvd Hainesport NJ
P.S. He has a FB page for his gym as well if you just look up inspire fit and fight

Hello there! I'm back with my second card for the Hero Arts Holiday Cardmaking Challenge. This one uses The Hero Arts Snowy Scene stamp, which is a single stamp that is mostly solid rubber, with the trees and snow and deer finely carved into it so that when you ink it up, you are only inking the sky. I inked the stamp with Lost Lagoon ink, and then used a sponge dauber to apply Midnight Muse ink to the top portion of the stamp. After I stamped it onto Whisper White cardstock, I trimmed it down and adhered it to a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock, and then to a Midnight Muse card base. I cut two 5" strips of Whisper White cardstock and tore the long edge of each one to create snowy banks that extended out beyond the width of the stamped panel, then sponged Lost Lagoon along the torn edge. After I adhered those to the card front, I used my white gel pen to add snow to the Lost Lagoon panel, keeping it heavier at the top and tapering off as it neared the snow banks. That's it! Simple and serene.
I can't wait to try this stamp using a circle of sticky note to mask off a moon first. I think it would also make a gorgeous sunrise scene. And I want to try coloring in the trees a little on one card. Lots of ideas for this one!
That's it for now... thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: Hero Arts Snowy Scene
Ink: SU Lost Lagoon, Midnight Muse
Paper: SU Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Midnight Muse

I hope they go out of business. Want to file a lawsuit with me anyone?
"I have a 7 year old Kenmore Elite Dual Fuel range...the control panel went out on it. I called Sears Parts Direct-after finding a replacement part on their page for it...they told me that I needed to pay $89 for a 'technician' to come out and figure out what's wrong with it...the tech came...spent 3 minutes, ordered the part, billed me $277 and said the part would be in in a few business days...two days later, I get a call from Sears saying they don't make those parts anymore, that they are discontinued making those parts a while ago and that the person who made the appointment with me should have notified me of that. They refused to refund me the money for the part, insisting that the part was $89 and the remainder was for the technician...(by the way, the lady-who was from over seas and VERY difficult to understand-was named "Clifford") after numerous calls-still no resolution going on one month...still have a non-working 'boat anchor' aka oven...would NEVER EVER buy from Sears EVER again...if anyone would like to go in with me on a class action lawsuit...I am not the only one who has had this problem...(according to the reviews) email me @ email@example.com Sears ****. "
Do not rely on Sears PartsDirect for your order
"Sears PartsDirect website said the part was in stock and "in stock" items would ship in two business days; it's now been sixteen business days. I've checked the status of my order every few days and I've used their "chat" feature on three separate occasions. The first two "chats" resulted in Sears placing a 'rush' on the order to have it delivered within a few business days. The last "chat" was five business days ago which resulted in Sears saying their back end team was calling their vendor to check on the status of the order with a promise that I would hear from the Sears back end team by Wednesday (three business days ago); still no word from Sears. I caution anyone from relying on Sears. "
Inept please go out of business and die
"Ordered a belt for lawn mower 7/20/17. Shipped next day from eastern Pennsylvania arrived in Seneca Pennsylvania the 23rd at the UPS then tracking said it was handed over to USPS in Franklin PA. Today is the 27th and no part. Said it was delivered. My question is why did it take 7 days to cross pa and why would the UPS pass it to the USPS for delivery? Never heard of such bs. Will never order another thing from them. Its hardly a wonder why sears is closing. "
They take your $$, but deliver ziclh!
"Ordered a part from their website that was shown as being "in stock". Paid nearly $300.00 bucks for a part which was on backorder. Spent 2 and a half hours getting shuffled around in chat and then on the phone. I could not get anything but a busy signal when calling today to cancel the order. I had to do that in chat. But that is not all. Although the "chat person" from yesterday took my money and the extra for an expedited order, the person in the "chat" today told me it would be one to three days for their "support team" to review and decide if my non-existent, expedited delivery part order could be cancelled. Such a deal! I believe they run a bait and switch on their website. I checked today before trying to contact them and it still showed one of these in stock. The item is a repair item for a discontinued JVC Video camera. NO ONE has one in stock. I would imagine that JVC or one of their suppliers has one overseas, but there isn't one available to me in the US. I can see why Sears is having problems, and I would never send anyone to Sears Parts Direct. It is a sham."
WRONG PART ARRIVED was just the beginning.
"I went back to try to get the correct part but, they insisted the wrong part was the right part. So, they just refunded the part but, not the shipping! So, I investigated and found the correct part number and went back into the chat and this is the word for word on it:
Thank you for choosing Sears Parts Direct.

Men more group ll
"Only thing I can say is horrible. Worst customer service ever. Waited 30 minutes before someone helped me and then they couldn't find my transaction in the system. After talking to four customer service employees they were finally able to find my transaction only then to be told that the model number I had on the manual was not in the system and I would need to go back to the store. I decided to just give up and bought my grill from PC Richard. "
Kenmore Grill Part (drip pan)
"Ordering is easy, and the part came as I chose with ground shipping. The grease drip pan is made with super paper thin gauge metal and was the reason I was replacing since mine had warped with heat as well as rusted. I knew when the box arrived it would not be good, the shippers had shipped in broke down flat cardboard box with no extra layers for strength and the pan arrived bent in half, duh. After 15 minutes of straightening and bending back into shape it is usable... Im going to keep it and live with it instead of dealing with sending back. I will not order from Sears site anymore. Also I found grill heat diffusers made of stainless steel at grill parts site to replace my rusted out tin diffusers at half the price of Sears... no more"
Poor delivery service
"Ordered a part for my dryer. I have a PO box for mailing. I asked the parts department if the Brown UPS truck was going to pull up to my physical address or were they working with the USPS. They said that UPS would be the delivery service. Twice, my part went to USPS. I have been without a dryer now for over 2 weeks. "
Should have read reviews like these BEFORE wasting weeks of my time with Sears Parts Direct!
" DON"T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. I do not recommend ordering anything from Sears Parts Direct. I placed an order for a lawn tractor part. I waited six weeks -during which time I made calls and was promised that the order status WOULD be updated by a certain date, and assured that the part WAS AVAILABLE. Nothing doing. After yet another call they actually asked me to wait another 2 weeks. The SEARS that we once knew is dead and gone– What ever is left is totally unreliable. "
Runaway before they scam you!
"FYI: Be VERY afraid of purchasing parts from Sears Part Direct! We ordered a board for our oven from them 5/28/17 it was listed as in stock and ready to ship. Paid Priority shipping rates for delivery 5/31/17. Never came, was promised a full refund of shipping charges only got half of a refund. Called on 6/2/17 and canceled our order was promised a full refund by 6'6/17 NEVER received. Spoke with some one today and was informed that the company they receive parts from is refusing to cancel the order. We have since ordered and received the part off Amazon. Sears Parts direct ****!!!! They are a scam.......Buyer Beware. Next contact will be with our Attorney General!"
It's already been said before...
"Worst online shopping experience ever. My advice would be that if you have a problem (and you will) contact your CC company and file a dispute. I did that, received my refund in 2 days and after almost 2 months they sent me notification that my part finally shipped...
To be honest, I kept contacting the Chat line and it eventually became somewhat of a comical experience to keep them **** online to tell them how horrible they are as a company.
It's no wonder that Sears is going under...
All these 1 star reviews are REAL
"Honestly, my experience with this company has been by far the WORST experience EVER dealing with any company. I called the phone rep and gave them the part # I was looking for. They didn't have the exact part number but assumed a different part was the same as the one I had asked and they sent me the wrong part.
So to be clear, I PAID for something I thought I had asked for, and they sent me something totally DIFFERENT than what I had asked AND paid for. After receiving the wrong part, I had a repair guy come and install it for $100 just to have him come back a few days later and tell me the part they sent was wrong.
So fast forward to the worst part, I called back Searspartsdirect.com and had to speak to 3 different representatives, all of them tried to tell me it was MY fault and that their database system said it was the same part. They not only tried to accuse me of being wrong, but tried to tell me the part that they sent me was fine. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had dealing with customer service and they don't even deserve a 1 star rating. The rep I spoke with was Genie and her is ID: 210402. Don't ever deal with this company, after reading the other reviews, Sears PartsDirect is willing to send you the wrong part and charge you for something you didn't pay for, place an order for you then cancel it later without telling you, and straight up just stealing your money.
To top it off, after having my order placed, I checked the website to see the status of my order only to find they reduced the price of my part $20 since I placed my order a day ago, so I used their chat rep feature and a guy named Soloman said he would refund me the difference of the price and NEVER EVEN FOLLOWED UP on the price adjustment. Total lie and scam on these guys at Sears PartsDirect. DON'T DEAL BUSINESS WITH THEM, and if you do, MAKE SURE IT'S THE EXACT PART and not some part they say will work even though it doesn't match up."
All aboard the struggle bus...
"The entire experience of trying to get this part was so, so difficult. From the beginning, it was just problem after problem. My washing machine had a faulty valve that I needed to replace. I got online to searspartsdirect.com because a family friend linked me the page. I confirmed that it was the appropriate part using the part number, model number, and serial number and everything indicated that it was correct. I was a little shocked at the price for shipping so I called to see if it was available in store. It was not, and the representative began pressuring me to purchase it over the phone. I let him know that I wanted to price compare a bit and was not ready to order, but he continued to pressure me until I hung up. I really needed the part, so I eventually ordered it online through searspartsdirect.com and paid for expedited shipping because I needed my washer to work. Obviously, most customers can't afford to wait many weeks and do the same so the price of shipping is gouged. The part came a day later than stated, which ordinarily wouldn't be an issue except I paid $28 to have it arrive early. When I finally got it, it wasn't wrapped in anything, just loose in a cardboard box banging around. I tore into the machine with the help of my dad (he took time out of his schedule to come help me). We discover that it is the wrong part and cannot fit. We call customer service and are told that even though both parts are indicated for the same model number, there is a 50/50 chance it will fit the particular machine. This made no sense to me. My dad asked on the phone how to proceed and the person rudely tells him that we should have placed the order by phone in the first place. We are encouraged to return the part and reorder the correct one by phone. Because of this, we are greatly inconvenienced because we now a) have to make a trip to UPS to return the part b) have to wait several more days to fix the machine which is now opened up and c) missed out on the 15% online only coupon I had which d) increased the cost of shipping further because it was in a new cost bracket. Maybe this is why I wanted to order online in the first place? Plus, I carefully checked the web page to match model numbers etc and there was nothing about the part potentially not fitting. To the rep's credit, they agreed to refund the cost of the original shipping which was appreciated. The day the second part is supposed to arrive comes and goes, and again it comes late, again loose in the box. There are no instructions, diagrams, anything like that. The manual is behind a paywall. We finally got it fixed, but for about 1/3 the cost and 1/6 the time we could have gone to a local parts store. Not at all worth it.
Unacceptable customer service
"If I could give them Zero stars, I would, but the system won't activate without at least one. I will never order from Sears Parts Direct again. Terrible customer service. I tried to order tires for my riding mower, website stated parts were available. Ordered on 17 Apr 17, and paid for expedited shipping, when the tires didn't show by the 21st, called and was told they were not available and had to contact the "manufacturer" for shipping status, and I would have tires in 5-7 business days, called back on 27th, no status, no tires, and no help. I must have talked to 9 different people, including the parts department manager. (at least that is what she said she was) no one can get me a status on the tires and no one can give me my money back. I am calling the escalation department tomorrow and going up their food chain until I either get over-nighted tires or a full refund.
word to the wise, do not do business with Sears Parts Direct, you will just get the run around."
"Unfortunately Sears is the only place I found that sold the part I needed. I placed my order and paid for it with my debit card the part with shipping was 57.39 - which I authorized, Sears felt the need to debit me an additional $ 64.00 for what? who knows... they don't know, I don't know - but they did it - now I have to go through all this BS with the bank to get my $ 64.00 back - if you can buy your part elsewhere it would be best. no wonder this company is going out of business, seems like now they have resorted to stealing too.

About the comment on morning people being more creative, as far as I've read about it casually (which is not much), and my brief googling confirms it, it's the opposite. "Evening people" are said to be "more creative" (I don't know by which measure standards), even though "morning people" fare better in quite a few important things, like better grades (which in turn may lead to better opportunities later on and so). I think it may be at least partly because perhaps most classes for children are in the morning, when "evening people" would not be at their best, but perhaps (my guess), they would be more on pair with their gradings when they study at the evening instead.
Perhaps the somewhat-lower gradings is itself somewhat linked to creativity (again, just guessing here). I imagine that as someone gets good or not-so-good grades perhaps it's an incentive to be more or less conforming. I think that a study to confirm this idea could be conducted somewhat easily, finding kids who have always studied at the evening, but who would prefer (in a totally spontaneous manner) to study at the morning (or perhaps a more reliable measure of a potential vespertine chronotype, whatever it may be). Perhaps kids in this profile would also have lower gradings and be more creative by the same standards.
Other thing that I think it's often said on texts about that is that it's not always something that you can chose, there are fractions of the population that are predisposed to be morning or evening people, and also a fraction that can switch between one and the other without feeling better or worse. The subject is "chronotype"/chronobiology and "circadian rhythms", and should not be confused with "bio-rhythms", which is just new-age-ish pseudo-science.
Interesting podcast, I've just learned about its existence yesterday or so, from an old freelance radio podcast recommendation.

But now we're back to enjoying the pleasant 80 degree days in these final four days until we move.
Our final week put us well into the Chicago last-evers.
"This is the last time we'll ever walk to this church."
"This is the last time we'll ever shop here."
"This is the last Saturday we'll be in Chicago."
Packing is going smoothly on this here last-ever week of life in Chicago. I spend the mornings packing, nap time relaxing, and post-nap time catching up on other non-packing moving tasks, like arranging Abigail's therapies in Michigan. I love having Matt's help, unlike most of our other moves when he needed to be studying for finals, and delegate him tasks he can do during his lunch break or in the evenings. I do try to reserve evenings and weekends for family time, though. (a two-year-old can only handle so much packing). On our last-ever Saturday, the day before Ernest Hemingway's 114th birthday, we decided to take a drive out into the suburbs to his birthplace to visit the Hemingway museum and family home. It took us 60 minutes to drive 15 miles.
I'm wearing Abigail in an Ergo on my back, but you can't see her as she's totally conked out.
Here is Abigail in front of Ernest Hemingway's family home until he was 7:
Abigail and Matt having a conversation in front of Ernest Hemingway's family home's oak tree:
Abigail sitting on Ernest Hemingway's family home's oak tree's acorns:
I'm still in love with the man, though. And while we didn't visit his vacation home in Key West when were in Florida, I will one day.
Other fun-time things in between packing this box and packing that box include Abigail sobbing because she didn't think she could climb off Matt's briefcase:
And Abigail desperately trying to feed kitty some treats she found.
It wasn't for lack of trying that kitty went without.
Hopefully that'll be enough Abigail pictures to tide everyone over. Another post coming this week, but it'll probably the last one until we get Internet in our new place.
Moving day in T-minus 4 days.

An independent evaluation funded by the Welsh Government
The Foundation Phase is one of the Welsh Government's most exciting policies, marking a radical departure from the more assessment-driven competency-based approaches to early childhood education that have been adopted elsewhere. The policy has been progressively 'rolled out' over the last seven years so that next year it will include all 3-7 year olds in Wales. A thorough but sensitive evaluation is now essential to ensure that its implementation is progressing well and that it promotes effective learning for all children in Wales.
This evaluation brings together a high profile team with considerable experience of research in the areas of early childhood education, policy implementation, school effectiveness and economic analysis. Members of the team have extensive experience of working with Welsh local authorities and schools.
There are four main aims of the evaluation:
The evaluation employs a stepped wedge design to exploit the sequential roll-out of the Foundation Phase across a number of different schools and settings at different time periods. In particular, much of the evaluation will focus on comparing successive cohorts of children who have been through three sets of school settings at different phases of the implementation: Pilot Settings, Early Start Settings and Final Roll-out Settings. The evaluation also utilises a range of methods to ensure it captures as many aspects of the implementation, delivery and impacts of the Foundation Phase programme.

Plain and simple, candles are hot right now. Just like "MAGA" hats in Mississippi, candles are everywhere you look. You see them on the edge of the bathtub in every girl's "relaxation time" Snap story. Candles are as common in a Scaries Panic Room as red wine or Netflix. They're even being made into "Apple Product" and "KFC" scents. Candles are the trendiest aesthetic around.
Just being honest with myself, I'm usually more of a follower than a leader, so I'm diving all in on this. I'm all about becoming a candle guy.
Now this wasn't just a spur of the moment lifestyle decision. I'd probably place the origin of my potential candle addiction in line with visiting my girlfriend's apartment. She treats her apartment with candles like the pharmaceutical industry treats West Virginia with opioids; extremely overstocked. She's a connoisseur, and I'm hopping on the same train. Maybe it's natural maturation, but sometimes life just seems a bit better with 1-3 wicks of a delicious scent smoldering in your room of choice.
Things started off slow; a couple classic 3-wick winter scents from Bath and Body Works found their way into my domain. More and more I found myself enjoying the double whammy of fresh smells and visually pleasing candle flicker as I went about my business at home.
Maybe the masses on Twitter had a point, as the Netflix I was binging just seemed to go down smoother with "Fresh Balsam" burning strong in the corner of the room. Inhaling B&BW's "Dashing Through The Snow" while I plug away at my desk doesn't make the workday nearly as brutal. Hell, even indulging in some Lemongrass & Coriander in a basic candle I picked up from HEB heightens the senses and relaxes me in a way that I didn't know was possible beforehand.
Slowly but surely I've become accustomed to a flickering flame within eyesight when I relax at home. No longer is a candle simply a way to mask one of my kid's old diapers that I accidentally left in the inside trash can. On the contrary, a constant burning candle is a lifestyle and brand that I'm suddenly all about.
This enthusiasm for candles has slowly started to consume me, especially since I've discovered that there's a bigger and more craft-oriented candle world outside of your standard B&BW's. What started as an innocent jaunt through my local Saturday "Market Days" event turned into a 10-minute stop at the booth of a local company smelling their product like a fiend, ending with giving them a follow on Instagram and being a very satisfied owner of their "Orange Vanilla" scent.
Naturally, I've used this as a springboard to following more craft (is that even the term for these local niche candle companies?) candle accounts on Instagram. Now suddenly a filtered picture of a fresh poured soy masterpiece with a citrus scent is like visual crack to me. I mean, just look at this:
Looking for a perfect Man Candle? Black Ice oozes masculinity- cologne, musk and sharp citrus notes make this a perfect gift for him, or just for the man cave! #soycandles #handpoured #natural #mancandle #mandle #cologne #candles #candlecult #etsystore #handmade #etsyfinds #littleluxuries #fragrancehouse #home #homedecor #bohohome #shopindie #instashop #etsywholesale #buzzfeedstyle #interior #simplestyle #prettythings #thatsdarling
Nose boner.
So where do I go from here? When I was discussing this piece with Will deFries he said "I know way too much about scented candles from my last job so I may judge the shit out of you." Frankly, he'd be well within his rights to do that. I'm as rookie as they come in the candle game; I'm yearning to reach that connoisseur level. Nothing would make me happier than to be able to walk in a room and be able to say, "I need to smell some Lavender Vanilla in here like I need air to breathe."
What're my options? Can you go candle sniffing like you do wine tasting? Do I have to hound local markets and search far and wide? Should I just get a B&BW rewards card and burn my way through their entire stock? I guess only time will tell. All I know is, I'm clearly really enjoying the vibes of being a candle guy. .

Khloe Kardashian is back on the market.
The reality star has split from her "needy" boyfriend of eight months French Montana, according to a new report from Us Weekly.
"They are on a break," a source told the magazine. "The relationship got too heavy and Khloe needed to take a step back."
Another insider insisted that the rapper "became so dependent on her," that it "grated on" Kardashian.
Kardashian's big family didn't seem to care for Montana, 29, either. Apparently, mama Kris Jenner "did not approve and told Khloe all the time," while older sister Kim Kardashian and stepdad Bruce Jenner were "very skeptical" and thought Montana was using Khloe to get famous.
In an interview with Billboard last month, Montana admitted to wanting to "capitalize" on the newfound fame his girlfriend brought him, saying: "I want to capitalize on it. I'll get a fan base from everywhere. I just hope I'll be able to connect with everything that's going on."
He later told "Access Hollywood" that his remarks were taken out of context.
At the time, Khloe, who filed for divorce from Lamar Odom last year, didn't seem to mind the comments.
"It's amusing to me that Y'all think I don't see it. I was the first one to see it," she tweeted. "I just don't care."
Khloe and her beau were spotted all over the place this summer, from Khloe's big 30th birthday bash in Las Vegas to the Hamptons, where she and sister Kourtney Kardashian were shooting E!'s "Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons."

MILTON invests its own funds in a diversified portfolio of investments which is managed internally by its directors and executives. This internal management structure helps to keep costs low.
MILTON HISTORY. Milton has been an investment company since 1938 and it became a LIC when it listed on the Sydney Stock Exchange in 1958. Milton is currently listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and it trades under the Code: MLT.
DIVIDEND HISTORY. The following graph shows the growth in Milton's dividend since the company was listed in 1958. It assumes 1,000 shares were purchased for £1,000 in 1958 and dividends have NOT been reinvested and there has been no further shares purchased. Through the sub-division of shares on the introduction of decimal currency and bonus share issues, the number of shares on issue would have increased to 5,706. The annual dividend increased from $160 in 1959 to $5,307 in 2016.
