Fewer crashes in South Canterbury
A total of 307 people were killed in crashes on New Zealand's roads in 2012, according to provisional data released by New Zealand Police.
One of those people died in the Timaru District. Two deaths were reported in the Waimate District and three in the Waitaki.
Nationally, it was New Zealand's second-lowest road toll in 60 years. The lowest, 275, was recorded in 2011.
Timaru's one death marked the district's lowest road toll since 2009.
In the Mid-South Canterbury police area, the average number of road crashes per month has been in a gradual decline for several years, according to incidents reported to police communications.
Mid-South Canterbury averaged about 58 crashes per month in 2012.
That's down from an average of 62 crashes per month in 2011, and 64 per month in 2010.
Several factors likely contributed to the decrease, said Area Commander Inspector Dave Gaskin.
Engineering projects, such as the diversion put in at the intersection of State Highway 1 and Daniels Rd and the creation of passing lanes in several spots, have helped to regulate the flow of traffic, he said.
In addition, police have increased their enforcement of traffic laws, and educational efforts are also raising drivers' awareness of the dangers of drink driving and speed and the importance of wearing seatbelts.
"The way we drive is a cultural thing,'' he said. ''We're slowly going down the track of making a change to people's habits."
The national road toll has trended down since the late 1980s, and should continue to do so, according to Superintendent Carey Griffiths, National Manager of Road Policing.
Several government agencies have worked together to improve the quality of New Zealand roadways, reduce speeds, improve driver behaviour and make vehicles safer, he said.
"We've also seen significant advances in trauma care, and we can see how those systems are helping to reduce deaths," he added.
The 2012 road toll was initially set at 306, but rose after an 81-year-old woman died in hospital as a result of injuries sustained in a December 31 crash north of Whangarei.
The road toll for the Christmas and New Year holiday period was set at six, also a record low since officials began recording holiday period data in 1956-57.
Last year's holiday road toll was 19, and the highest on record was 37 deaths in 1972-73.

Art is more than something exquisite or interesting; art can be an expression of someone's soul. Art can tell a story, make you feel, and keep you guessing. There are many ways an artist can express themselves through painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, and art can be produced from any media imaginable. There are many types of art and numerous ways that one could present an art piece. When you paint a picture, you need to decide the type of paint you will use, the type of material you will be painting on, and the images you would like to paint. There are many different elements that one can express through their art. Many people, who do not consider themselves artists, would even be surprised at what they are capable of producing. It is about the experimentation and enjoyment of the process while making something with your own hands.
Children enjoy participating in art activities. Children can express what they may not be able to say in words sometimes through the use of a painting or drawing. Art gives children the ability and the chance for them to produce their own creations. Art is different than crafts. "Art is open-ended with no specific end-product in mind; children are allowed to use materials in any way they choose" (NAEYC). In the Discovery Classrooms, children are given the opportunity to use art materials how they wish from watercolors, paints, crayons, glue, scissors, play-dough, stamps, collage, clay, constructing, just to name a few items used. The child doesn't copy what the adult has made, but creates what they desire. The process that a child goes through in creating art is more important than the end artifact. By giving children many different ways to express themselves, this will help unlock their hidden talents or help the little artist to explore. Children need to be given the opportunity to discover through various art materials. Art is not about all children making one particular project. Art is about self-expression, creativity, imagination, critical thinking, and problem solving. Art is a beautiful way to express ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
As stated from, The Creative Curriculum for Preschool in the chapter titled, Art–Letter To Families:
Art is an important part of our curriculum. Every day, children find a variety of art materials available on our shelves. Drawing, painting, pasting, molding, and constructing are not only enjoyable but also provide important opportunities for learning. Children express their ideas and feelings, improve their coordination, learn to recognize colors and textures, and develop creativity and pride in their accomplishments by exploring and using art materials.
When children are engaged in art activities, we talk with them about what they are doing and ask questions that encourage them to think about their ideas and express feelings.
We are just as interested in the creative process as we are in what children make.
What are some ways you incorporate art with your child?

On January 22nd, Brunei-U.S. 11-week English Language Enrichment Programme alumna, Karizza Bravo, led a group of twenty teachers from Mapua Institute of Technology, Philippines in a five-hour workshop on ICT in Education. The workshop focused on exploring the new technology Ms. Bravo was introduced to during her experience as an 11- week participant. The participating teachers came from a variety of departments including Humanities, English, Social Science, and Filipino. Thus, during the workshop, as they were introduced to ICT tools Kahoot quizzes and Photostories digital videos, they each designed their own resources appropriate to their specialty. Later, they attempted each other's quizzes and in the afternoon portion of the workshop, watched the newly created videos. The teachers all agreed that the new ICT tools they learned from the workshop were practical, user-friendly, and fun. Ms. Bravo is truly grateful to have had the opportunity to not only participate in the Brunei- U.S. 11-week English Language Enrichment Programme, but also share her new knowledge with her colleagues. She plans to facilitate two more Brunei –U.S. ELEP sharing sessions before the end of the year, focusing on Teaching Methodologies and Materials Design and Development.

11 Mortgages Options to Consider
Mortgages come in a number of shapes and sizes – kind of like drapery. Finding the right one for you depends on many factors, including your personal tolerance for risk, how long you expect to stay in your home, your credit history and more.
Here are 11 mortgages you're likely to encounter en route to home ownership.
1. Conventional Fixed Rate Mortgage
What is it? This is a low risk mortgage taken on for ten-to-forty-year terms. The interest rate will remain the same for the life of the loan, as will payments.
Potential drawbacks: This type of mortgage requires a significant down payment.
2. Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
What is it? The interest rate on this mortgage will start lower, but go up and down based on annual adjustments.
Potential drawbacks: It's a higher risk loan prone to interest rate fluctuations.
3. Hybrid-Adjustable Mortgage
What is it? The initial interest rate is often lower on this mortgage, too. It's taken out for a fixed term (from 1-10 years) then converts to a 1-year adjustable rate or a fixed rate mortgage.
Potential drawbacks: Like the ARM, it's a higher risk loan prone to interest rate fluctuations.
4. Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Administration (VA) or Bond-Backed Mortgages
What are they? These kinds of mortgages appeal to first-time homebuyers because they allow for more liberal qualifying ratios and lower down payments. Payments remain the same throughout the entire life of the mortgage.
Potential drawbacks: Typically, these carry higher insurance costs.
5. Jumbo Loans
What are they? These apply to loans over $417,000 or $729,750 in high-cost areas.
Potential drawbacks: It's a mighty big loan, which therefore increases a lender's risk. As such, the interest rates on these tend to be high.
6. Graduated Payment Mortgage
What is it? A medium risk mortgage with a fixed interest rate. Initial monthly payments are low and increase over five-to-ten years before leveling off for the remainder of the term (typically 30 years).
Potential drawbacks: Because payments start out low, it could take longer for payments to make any real dent in the principle.
7. Growing Equity Mortgage
What is it? Like the Graduated Payment Mortgage, this is a medium risk mortgage that starts out with low monthly payments. Excess payments are applied to the principle.
Potential drawbacks: Although payments are initially low, they willincrease over the course of five-to-ten years.
8. Balloon Mortgage
What is it? It's a short-term mortgage (3-10 years) with a low interest rate, but a high level of risk.
Potential drawbacks: That depends on your cash flow; it requires a hefty final payment.
9. Shared Appreciation Mortgage
What is it? Offers a low interest rate and low monthly payments in exchange for a shared appreciation of home value with the lender upon your home's sale.
Potential drawbacks: If the value of home doesn't increase as expected, the lender may charge you additional interest.
10. Seller-Financed Mortgage
What is it? With this mortgage, the seller acts as the lender. Terms are negotiated between you and him/her.
Potential drawbacks: That depends on how well you and the lender get along.
11. Wraparound Mortgage
What is it? Like the seller-financed mortgage, the seller acts as the lender. The seller accepts a secured promissory note from the buyer for the amount due on the underlying mortgage plus an amount up to the remaining purchase money balance. Terms are up to both of you.
Potential drawbacks: Not only will you be paying off your own loan, you'll be paying off the remainder of theirs. Your interest rate will be higher on the seller's mortgage, but probably lower than on a conventional fixed rate mortgage.
Beyond dotted line…
You can obtain your mortgage through your local savings bank, a mortgage specialty company or the federal government via Fannie Mae.
But keep in mind that this is a long-term relationship you're entering into – both with your house and your lender. Do yourself a favor and put as much thought into it as you do your zip code.

One-class classification
In machine learning, one-class classification, also known as unary classification, tries to identify objects of a specific class amongst all objects, by learning from a training set containing only the objects of that class. This is different from and more difficult than the traditional classification problem, which tries to distinguish between two or more classes with the training set containing objects from all the classes. An example is the classification of the operational status of a nuclear plant as 'normal':[1] In this scenario, there are few, if any, examples of catastrophic system states; only the statistics of normal operation are known. The term one-class classification was coined by Moya & Hush (1996)[2] and many applications can be found in scientific literature, for example outlier detection, anomaly detection, novelty detection. A feature of one-class classification is that it uses only sample points from the assigned class, so that a representative sampling is not strictly required for non-target classes.[3]
A similar problem is PU learning, in which a binary classifier is learned in a semi-supervised way from only positive and unlabeled sample points.[4]
PU learning[edit]
In PU learning, two sets of examples are assumed to be available for training: the positive set and a mixed set , which is assumed to contain both positive and negative samples, but without these being labeled as such. This contrasts with other forms of semisupervised learning, where it is assumed that a labeled set containing examples of both classes is available in addition to unlabeled samples. A variety of techniques exist to adapt supervised classifiers to the PU learning setting, including variants of the EM algorithm. PU learning has been successfully applied to text,[5][6][7] time series,[8] and bioinformatics tasks.[9]

In 5 Days of WarDuring the swift-but devastating-five-day war between Russia and the Georgian Republic in 2008, a renegade American journalist, his cameraman, and Tatia, a young Georgian schoolteacher, are caught in the combat zone during the first Russian airstrikes against Georgia. As the three attempt to escape to safety, they witness – and document – the devastation from the full-scale crossfire and cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians. They desperately attempt to broadcast the footage they've captured while under attack from the Russian soldiers and local mercenaries, but are met with resistance from American and international networks either shorthanded from covering the Beijing Olympics or simply fatigued by war news. The trio realizes their survival is paramount, so they can live to broadcast the truth.

Quality foam is the key to you gaining the correct level of seating comfort. To be comfortable when seated is very important and in some instances you may require a specific foam grade to assist with posture or to gain comfort levels due to illness/medical reasons. Whatever your reasons, we have the solutions.
We have just posted a poster to the Foam For Comfort Facebook page that has Father Christmas sitting on his chair in his grotto with the caption "comfort is key to ensuring Father Christmas hears exactly what you want for Christmas. If you don't get what you want, then maybe he can ask us for a quality foam cushion for his Christmas present next year?" Yes this is a jovial attempt to using the Christmas season to highlight the importance of seating comfort, however, there is more to just being comfortable that is important when it comes to seating. Therefore we have compiled this post to help you gain a better understanding of what foam types and quality is available to you to best achieve the desired comfort level from your seating.
Quality Foam Explained How Foam is Graded
Foam quality is graded by the Foam Trade using various measurements. From a retail point of view the measurement that the customer may be familiar with is Density and this is measured in kg/m3 (kilograms per metre cubed.) Seat cushions less than 38kg/m3 are not going to prove durable. Therefore you need to ensure that the foam is at least 38kg/m3 for durability.
Watch Out For Generic Terms Used To Describe Foam.
Terms such as Heavy or High density Premium or General are terms that are used to describe foam. However, these are just descriptions and they mean nothing in regards to clearly describing the quality of the foam. Before purchasing you need to check the foam specification (this should always be detailed or available by phone from reputable companies.) Unfortunatly some suppliers use the same density foam for more than one grade and describe 35kg/m3 foams as Heavy or High density.
Therefore always check foam density before purchasing, lower grade foams can be firm and feel perfect upon arrival and last long enough to receive a good review but that foam will not prove durable in the long term. Therefore do not get duped by generic terms such as Heavy or High density Premium or General and check the foam density with the supplier to ensure that you don't get ripped off.
Foam For Comfort Foam Grades:
V38 Just Foam
Our entry level V38 foam is a firm, general purpose foam that represents great value for money. It is a great value general purpose firm foam that is 38kg/m3 firm and suitable for most sofa's and chairs. It should be noted that V38 is very firm when used in thicker cushions.
Classic Foam
General all purpose foam, suitable for everyday use and offering superb value for money. The Classic Foam is a good quality domestic grade seating foam that is 40kg/m3 foam available in Medium and Firm comfort options.
Classic Medium: ideal foam to replace seating of 5" or more, providing comfortable support.
Classic Firm: A firm supportive cushion for all sofa & chair seating in boat & caravan bunks. Ideal for hard based seating i.e. window seats, bench seats and dining chairs.
Superior Foam
Superior Foam is our premium grade, contract quality foam that offers excellent durability and our widest range of comfort options. The Superior Foam is 50kg/m3 grade firm and available in Soft, Medium, Firm or Extra firm.
Superior Soft: Ideal for the replacement of feather and fibre filled seat cushions.
Superior Medium: A popular choice for comfortable Sofa and Chair cushions.
Superior Firm: Comfortable but supportive, perfect for a higher seating position.
Superior Extra Firm: Designed for Dining Chairs, Benches, Window Seats etc. and customers requiring very firm Sofa and Chair cushions.
Superior Combination: Any of the above foam options which are laminated in layers for specialist use i.e. Caravan and Boat bunks that require dual use. Ideal foam choose that allows you to combine softer outer layers for comfort when sleeping with an extra firm core that gives support when sitting.
Traditional Latex
Traditional Talalay latex is the most comfortable cushion filling available. Reassuringly expensive, a long term investment in durability and sumptuous comfort. Popular with customers who love their sofas and chairs and have no intention of replacing them. Traditional Talalay latex is no longer supplied by Dunlopillo and therefore only available from specialist suppliers with product knowledge and years of experience.
Traditional Latex, Talalay rubber not foam, offers maximum comfort and luxury and is available in Soft, Medium or Firm.
Traditional Soft Latex: The ultimate replacement for feather and fibre cushions, allowing you to sink into the cushion while offering gentle support. Fully recovers after sitting, you will never have to plump up your cushions again.
Traditional Medium Latex: Ideal for sofa and chair cushions of 5" or more, Medium Latex provides supreme comfort with a good level of support. The ultimate in luxurious seating.
Traditional Firm Latex: Offers excellent support with comfort. Due to its naturally heavy construction Firm Latex relies on density to give support. Therefore unlike a firm foam cushion that offers support but not necessarily comfort, Firm Latex offers both comfort and support, giving you the best of both worlds.
Back Cushion Foam
Our NEW Inneractive Back Cushion Foam has been specially developed to create the perfect, long lasting and comfortable back cushion.
The specially contoured 'Inneractive Foam' has been developed for high quality and comfort. The unique interior allows the cushion to mould to your body and return to its original shape without the need for plumping.

Suffolk Coastal residents are being asked for their views on a draft plan, which will shape where residential and commercial development could be located during the next 20 years.
Waveney residents are being asked for their views on a draft plan, which will shape where residential and commercial development could be located during the next 20 years.
The Quality of Place Award scheme is back for 2017 and Suffolk Coastal is now looking for nominations for the best building designs which contribute to the environment of the district.
The Supreme Court has today (Wednesday, 10 May 2017) handed down its judgement on the long-running legal battle over a proposed housing development on the outskirts of Yoxford.
Three Suffolk Coastal communities last week voted 'yes', giving the go-ahead to their respective Neighbourhood Plans.
Suffolk Coastal's Full Council this week formally agreed to adopt the recently approved planning documents which set out site allocations for new homes in the district over the next 10 years.
Local communities are being asked for their views on plans to remove public payphones from several Waveney locations.
Suffolk Coastal is asking local people to comment on a series of Main Modifications to the Site Allocations and Area Specific Policies Development Plan Document and the Felixstowe Peninsula Area Action Plan which have been identified following public hearing sessions held in August and September.
Plans to bring jobs and breathe new life in to a location in Lowestoft have been given the go ahead with planning approval for a new fast food restaurant on Jubilee Way.
Work is well under way on a review Suffolk Coastal's Local Plan.

I usually do not fancy two-star-hotels, especially in Italy, where the overall quality of hotels is very low and the service attitude bad and uninspired. My rule about Italian hotels generally suggests that one should always deduct at least one of the hotel's indicated stars to get to the "real" star-rating the hotel would deserve in a more "civilized" country. With Milan's Hotel Charly, it's just the opposite! It is listed as a two-star-hotel, but really feels like a three star!
Most of the hotels in Milan's central station area are shabby and often disgusting - I even had a bedbugs-experience in the nearby Hotel Impero a few years ago! The Hotel Charly is a hidden gem amongst all those low-quality-junk-hotels surrounding it: it is clean (really!), has charm (incredible!), serves a plain, but decent breakfast on a lovely glass garden loggia, and if you book a nonsmoking-room overlooking the garden, you might even feel like you're not in Milan, but in a much more romantic place ;-)
The rooms are in two neighboring villas from the 19th century, maybe 5 minutes by foot to the central station (subway station "stazione centrale") and 5 minutes by foot to the subway station "lima". Given the age of the buildings, they obviously don't have an elevator, so don't overload your luggage. Just across the street, you'll find a great traditional bakery at the corner, and a few block towards the city center you'll discover some of Milan's finest art nouveau buildings. The neighborhood near the central station is not the best, but Hotel Charly is in a more residential and surely not that scary area of the neighborhood.
For a two-star-hotel, it's really a great catch! As long as I can't afford the luxury-five-star-hotels in Milan, I'll definitely return to Hotel Charly ;-)
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Evoline ltd, Wotif.com, Booking.com, lastminute.com.au, Expedia APAC, Hotels.com and TripOnline SA so you can book your Charly reservations with confidence. We help millions of travellers each month to find the perfect hotel for both holiday and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.
- Also Known As:
- Charly Hotel Milan

Mix Comunicaciones contacted us to develop the official spot for the World Blood Donor Day. The big challenge of the project was the term for delivery, which had to be reduced by half: in just two weeks we developed the frame-by-frame animation, the stop-motion takes and the audio. One of the strategic decisions that was made was choosing the hand to show: we chose a female hand to express the sensibility the piece needed.
In spite of the short time of development we are very happy with the result, knowing that we made our small contribution to raise awareness regarding blood donation in a country that, as of yet, doesn't practice it much.

payable in accordance with the Company's payroll practices for executive
(b) Bonus Plan. In addition, Employee shall be eligible to participate

7. Termination. The Employee's employment may be terminated under any
of the circumstances listed in (b) through (f) below.
(a) Termination Benefits Generally. In the event of any termination of

through the date of termination, plus the additional compensation specified
below. Except to the extent specified to the contrary below, with respect to the
Company's compensation and benefit plans (including, without
Approved by Board of Directors
limitation, the 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan), the Employee's rights and
benefits shall be as specified in such plans and the awards made thereunder.
(b) Death. The employment will terminate upon the death of Employee.
(c) Disability. The Company or the Employee may terminate the
employment on account of Disability. For purposes of this Employment Agreement,
"Disability" shall mean Employee's absence from continuous full-time employment
with the Company for a period of at least 180 consecutive days by reason of a
mental or physical illness. The Company shall have the right to have Employee
examined at such reasonable times by such physicians satisfactory to Employee as
the Company may designate, and Employee will make himself available for and
submit to such examination as and when requested. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 7(d), the inability of Employee to perform his duties hereunder,
whether by reason of injury, illness (physical or mental), or otherwise shall
not result in the termination of Employee's employment hereunder, and he shall
be entitled to continue to receive his base salary and other benefits as
provided herein.
In the event of a termination on account of Disability, (1) the
Employee will be entitled to receive his annual base salary for one year
following such termination (any amounts provided to the Employee pursuant to any
Company-funded disability plans or insurance will be credited against the
Company's obligation to make such salary continuation payments), and (2) the
Company will continue to provide Employee, for one year following such
termination (but not after the date that Employee secures other employment),
with the welfare benefit plans in which the Employee was entitled to participate
before the termination.
(d) Cause. Cause shall mean (i) failure (other than by reason of
incapacity due to physical or mental illness) to perform his material duties
hereunder, (ii) gross negligence or misfeasance in the performance of his
duties, (iii) failure to follow reasonable directives of the Board of Directors,
(iv) conviction of Employee of a felony or plea of no contest to a felony, or
(v) perpetuation of a material dishonest act or fraud against the Company or any
affiliate thereof.
(e) Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee without
In the event of a termination without Cause, whether during or after
the Term of Employment, or upon the normal expiration of the Term of Employment,
(1) Employee will be entitled to receive his annual base salary for the longer
of (i) the remainder of the Term of Employment or (ii) one year, provided that
with respect to such post-termination period after the first anniversary of the
termination, the salary amounts paid to Employee shall be reduced by the amounts
the Employee actually earns during such period from another employer; (2) the
Company will continue to provide Employee with the welfare benefit plans in
which the Employee was entitled to participate before the termination, for the
longer of (i) the remainder of the Term of Employment, or (ii) one year, but not
after the date that Employee secures other employment; (3) all unvested stock
options held by the Employee will immediately vest in full, and will remain
exercisable for a period of up to 90 days after the Date of Termination (but in
no event beyond the original expiration date of such stock options); and (4) the
unexpired Restriction Period with respect to the restricted stock awards
referred to in Section 5(c)(ii), if awarded, will lapse, and such restricted
stock will become unrestricted common stock.
Approved by Board of Directors
In addition, if such termination without Cause occurs during the Term
of Employment, (1) the Employee will be entitled to receive a prorated incentive
bonus award for the year in which the termination occurs.
(f) Change of Control. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, "a
Change in Control" of the Company shall mean:
(A) an acquisition (other than directly from the Company) by a
Person (as defined below) (excluding the Company or an employee benefit
plan of the Company or an entity controlled by the Company's
shareholders) that results in such Person beneficially owning shares of
the Company's voting securities with total voting power exceeding the
total voting power of the Company's voting securities beneficially
owned by the current holders of the Company's Class B Common Stock and
persons who would be "Permitted Transferees" as such term is defined in
the Company's certificate of incorporation.
(B) at any time during the term of this Employment Agreement
there is a change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the
Company resulting in a majority of the directors of the Company who are
in office on the date hereof ("Incumbent Company Directors") no longer
constituting a majority of the directors of the Company; provided that,
in making such determination, persons who are elected to serve as
directors of the Company and who are approved by all of the directors
in office on the date of such election (other than in connection with
an actual or threatened proxy contest) shall be treated as Incumbent
Company Directors; or
(C) consummation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of
the Company or a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets or stock (collectively a "Business
Combination") other than a Business Combination in which the
shareholders of the Company, as a group, receive stock having fifty
percent (50%) or more of the aggregate voting power in the entity
resulting from the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction in which Employee is a material
participant in the acquiring Person or entity effecting the transaction shall
not constitute a Change in Control. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term
"beneficially owned" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule l3d-3 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the term "Person" shall have the
meaning set forth in Sections 3(a)(2) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
If the Company terminates the Employee without cause at any time after
the occurrence of a Change in Control, or if the Employee voluntary terminates
his employment following a Change in Control and the simultaneous or subsequent
occurrence of any of the following:
(A) Employee is required to maintain his principal office at a location
more than 20 miles from Charlotte, N.C.;
(B) Employee ceases to be, either in title or in fact, the chief
executive officer of the Company;
Approved by Board of Directors
(C) Employee's base salary is reduced; or
(D) Employee's maximum bonus opportunity is reduced,
the Company will pay to the Employee an amount equal to 2.99 times his "base
amount," as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, and will
continue to provide Employee with the welfare benefit plans in which Employee
was entitled to participate before the termination, for the longer of (i) the
remainder of the Term of Employment or (ii) one year, but not after the date
that Employee secures other employment; provided, however, that the amount of
any benefits accruing to Employee by virtue of such Change in Control under
stock option, restricted stock or other benefit plans that is considered (for
purposes of Section 280G) to be payments contingent upon a change in control
will be credited against the payment required hereunder. In no event shall the
Employee be entitled to receive any amount of compensation and benefits as a
result of such Change in Control that would not be deductible by the Company
pursuant to Section 280G.
(g) Date and Notice of Termination. Any termination of Employee's
employment by the Company or by Employee (other than termination because of
death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, a "Notice of Termination"
shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in
this Employment Agreement relied upon and, unless the termination is without
Cause pursuant to Section 7(e), shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee's
employment under the provision so indicated.
"Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if Employee's employment is
terminated by his death, the date of his death, and (ii) if Employee's
employment is terminated pursuant to a Notice of Termination, the date specified
in the Notice of Termination; provided that, if within thirty (30) days after
any Notice of Termination is given the party receiving such Notice of
Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the
termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date which is finally
determined to be the Date of Termination, either by mutual written agreement of
the parties, by a binding and final arbitration award or by a final judgment,
order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal
therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected).
8. Business Expenses. The Company agrees that during his employment
with the Company, the Company will reimburse Employee for actual travel and
other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
performance of his duties hereunder and accounted for in accordance with the
policies and procedures currently established by the Company.
9. Competition. Employee agrees that during his employment with the
Company and for a period of two years after the date of termination of
employment, he will not, directly or indirectly, as owner, employee, consultant
or otherwise, engage in business on behalf of any of the following:
Approved by Board of Directors
Charming Shoppes, Maurices, The Dress Barn, Deb Shops, Paul
Harris Stores, United Retail Group, Goody's Family Clothing,
One Price Clothing, Fashion Cents, Simply Fashions, or
Catherines Stores
The foregoing restriction shall not prohibit the ownership of less than
1% of the shares of an entity whose shares are traded on a national securities
exchange or over NASDAQ.
10. No Solicitation. Employee agrees that during the two-year period
following the termination of his employment with the Company, he will not
directly or indirectly solicit or recruit any person to leave the employment of
the Company, or recommend to any other person or business the hiring of any
person then employed with the Company.
11. Confidentiality. Employee agrees that, during the Term of
Employment and thereafter, he will not, without the written consent of the
Company, disclose to anyone not entitled thereto, any confidential information
relating to the business, sales, financial condition or products of the Company
or any affiliate thereof. Employee also recognizes and acknowledges that he has
a common law obligation not to disclose trade secrets and other proprietary
information of the Company. Employee further agrees that, should he leave the
active service of the Company, he will not take with him or retain, without the
written authorization of the Board of Directors, any papers, files or other
documents or copies thereof or other confidential information of any kind
belonging to the Company pertaining to its business, sales, financial condition
or products. Employee understands and agrees that the rights and obligations set
forth in this Section 11 are perpetual and, in any case, shall extend beyond the
period of his employment.
12. Injunctive Relief. Without limiting the remedies available to the
Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of the covenants contained in
Sections 9, 10 and 11 herein may result in material irreparable injury to the
Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be
possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event
of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a
temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction restraining Employee
from engaging in activities prohibited by Sections 9, 10 and 11 or such other
relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in such
13. Successors. This Employment Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and upon Employee
and his legal representatives. The Company shall require any successor (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to expressly assume
and agree to perform this Employment Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place.
14. Amendments. This Employment Agreement, which contains the entire
contractual understanding between the parties, may not be changed orally but
only by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.
Approved by Board of Directors
15. Governing Law. This Employment Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.
16. Waiver. The waiver of breach of any term or condition of this
Employment Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute the waiver of any other
breach of the same or any other term or condition.
17. Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this
Employment Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, the remaining provisions and portions of this Employment Agreement shall
be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest
extent provided by law.

Asparagus 1st year cutting
Have 10 plants in a raised bed, they are about 4-5 feet tall (stalks seem a little thin to me, size of a pencil give or take) Anyway, when I cut these back how far down do I cut? I've heard 2 inches below the soil and 2 inches above. And what is the best fertilizer and type of mulch to overwinter 1st year? I am in Western NY. Thanks

Let me ask some questions one post at a time and get your response with a verse(s) as my starting point to each.
2 Peter 1:17
For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"
Would you agree this verse says 2 things.
1) There is a person in this verse called God and His name is Father.
2) There is a person in this verse called Son related to the Father.
3) There are two different persons here.
I'm just want affirmation that is clearly what this verse states.

10 Servings
20 each medium Anaheim peppers
1/2 cup olive oil
3 whole eggs
24 ounces (6 cups) ricotta cheese
20 ounces (about 5-3/4 cups) mozzarella cheese, grated
8 ounces (2 cups) pepper jack cheese, grated
8 ounces (1 cup) Asiago cheese, finely grated
1 cup cilantro, chopped
6 cups grilled chicken, julienne
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Tabasco™ sauce to taste
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
4 egg yolks
24 ounces lime soda
4 egg whites
Tomatillo Sauce
8 raw tomatillos, skin husks removed and roughly chopped
1 raw poblano chili pepper, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
10 spinach leaves
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Final Preparation
Oil for deep frying
12 sprigs cilantro
4 ounces (1 cup) Asiago cheese, grated
Toss Anaheim peppers in oil. Broil, turning occasionally, until blistered. Place in stainless steel bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and cool until cool enough to handle. Peel the peppers. Cut a slit down the length of the peppers. Carefully remove the seeds and vein. Set aside.
Whisk eggs until foamy. Add ricotta cheese and mix thoroughly. With a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining filling ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Chill until very cold.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine egg yolks and soda. Add to dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Whip egg whites to medium peak. Fold in to batter mixture. Let rest one hour.
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Final Preparation
Fill each pepper with cheese filling. Pour batter into flat container. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350º F. Dip each pepper in the batter, turning to coat completely. Drop peppers a few at a time into hot oil and deep fry for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Pour 2 ounces sauce on each of 10 serving plates. Place 2 peppers on sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and Asiago cheese. Serve immediately.
Cinnamon Chocolate Lava cake with LaVell's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
6-1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (preferably 58 percent or higher on cocoa mass)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons sugar
2 large egg whites
Preheat oven to 425° F. Butter four 3/4-cup Soufflé cups. Dust with flour; shake out excess. Combine chocolate, butter, salt and cinnamon on top of double boiler set over simmering water. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from water bath. Cool 10 minutes. Beat egg yolks and 3 tablespoons sugar in large bowl until thick and light, about 2 minutes. Fold in chocolate mixture. Using electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites and 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Gently fold whites into chocolate mixture in two additions - one third, then the remaining thirds. Divide batter among prepared cups. Place custard cups on baking sheet. Bake until cakes are puffed but still soft in center, about 11 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to rack; cool cakes one minute. Using small knife, cut around sides of cakes to loosen. Place plates on top of cups. Invert cakes onto plates; remove cups. Place ice cream on side. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Gruyere And Apple Grilled Cheese
1 Serving
Serving Size = 2 sandwiches
4 slices thick cut bacon
1/4 cup sliced Crimini mushrooms
2 tablespoons sliced onions
3 ounces sliced Gruyere cheese
1 small Granny Smith apple, sliced into 16 wedges
Roasted garlic paste

Once bacon is complete, transfer to paper towels, drain fat from pan, return the pan to the stovetop and on medium-high heat, sauté mushrooms and onions. While mushrooms and onions cook, prepare the bread. On 2 slices of bread, spread roasted garlic paste. Cover bread with a layer of Gruyere, a layer of sliced apples and 1 to 2 slices of bacon. Set aside. Once mushrooms are browned and onions are translucent, transfer to a bowl and wipe pan dry. Turn heat to medium, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Transfer prepared bread halves (with cheese, apples and bacon) onto the pan, top with mushroom-onion mixture, place second slice of bread over top and allow bread to brown and cheese to melt for about 4 minutes. Flip carefully, add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to pan and move sandwiches around to pick up butter (allowing the butter to brown, not the bread to burn). Let sit about 3 minutes.
Grilled Fish Tacos with Thai Slaw
To make slaw dressing, combine fish sauce, limejuice, sesame oil, red chili paste, coconut milk and peanut butter in small pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Taste and add a bit of maple syrup if more sweetness is desired and add some red pepper flakes if more spice is needed.
Combine red cabbage, carrots, daikon radish, red onion and cilantro. Mix in half of the slaw dressing.
Preheat grill to medium heat. When ready, cook fish on oiled grill surface, around 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. To warm tortillas while grilling fish, wrap tortilla stack in aluminum foil and place on grill grate over low heat, turning once while fish cooks. Remove fish and roughly chop. Serve fish in warm tortillas, topped with Thai slaw, sliced avocados and extra Thai slaw dressing.

Snicken Chicken
Sage Roasted Chicken - This chicken is so easy and is sooo yummy. It's called Snicken Chicken because people can't help but sneak a bite before dinner.
1 Whole Roasting Chicken (the chicken you get can make a big difference in how the chicken turns out, try to get one with lots of meat, preferrably Butterball)
Rubbed Sage
Remove chicken from plastic wrapper. Remove in innards, usually contained in a bag inside the chicken. Rinse the bird inside and out. Cut off an extra chucks of fat around the tail or neck. Place the bird, breast down on a roaster pan. Liberally sprinkle salt, pepper, and rubbed sage all over the bird. Rub the spices in. Turn the bird tail up, on it's neck, and liberally pour salt, pepper, and just a little sage in the inside. Rub the spices in. Flip the bird over so it's breast up. Again, liberally sprinkle the spices on the skin and rub in. You really can't put too much spice on the bird so don't be stingy with the spices. Place the bird in the oven, breast up, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 1 hour. After an hour, cover the bird, reduce the heat to 400 degrees for 3 more hours. Chicken will be very tender, to where you can simply pull it off the bones with a fork, no need to use a knife. Enjoy!

We all know that walking is good for you but how good depends on how well you immerse yourself into your surroundings. In the past studies have shown how walking regularly slows down the aging process, helps expose you to more Vitamin D, can help to repair old DNA and decrease your risk of heart disease. Are there any other reasons why we should embark on a walking adventure?
Taking time out from our busy lives to go on a walking holiday means we have more time for ourselves to think, to meditate and to dream. Here are our top dreamy reasons to go on a walking holiday:
To feel at one with nature
Fresh air, lush green landscapes and crowds of forests are just some natural features of a walking holiday. As we spend more and more time surrounded by technology we start to crave natural landscapes. Besides the welcome boost of Vitamin D, a walk with nature allows us to reconnect with land. Land that provides nourishment, encourages growth and provides the pathway to new beginnings. To get back to nature in Ireland check out the wonderful Wicklow Way.
To practice Mindfulness
You will find beautiful places to practice mindfulness on all of the Ireland hiking routes. The whole journey is a mindfulness experience if you let yourself become fully aware and appreciate the moments along the way. Connect with the natural world by closing your eyes for a few minutes, taking
deep breaths and just enjoying your immediate surroundings. Mindful immersion encourages us to feel contentment by paying attention to every detail of an activity. Walking may be something we take for granted on a daily basis but something spiritual and enlightening on a long distance journey.
To get a sense of achievement everyday
Give yourself a pat on the back when you complete day 1 of your walking holiday and maybe a pint or two of Guinness when you complete the week. A walking holiday is a great chance to celebrate your ability to complete a task and any walking holiday is a challenge that you should be proud of finishing. On average you will walk between 15 – 25km per day, somedays more than others, and other a whole week you could walk up to 120kms. This is no easy task. If you are looking for your next challenge try hiking around the Iveragh Peninsula on the Kerry Way.
To be inspired by new cultures
Experiencing the culture of a place that you have never been to before can trigger new ideas, ways of thinking and teach you a little too. Food, storytelling locals and history are synonymous with Irish culture. Maybe this is all the inspiration you need to add to your lifestyle when you finish your trip.
To get to grips with history
Ever get the feeling that you have lost touch with the past? A walking holiday is a great way to reconnect with the history of a place. Unlike other holidays where you may stay in one place, on a walking holiday you can enjoy discovering many places, often passing through towns packed full of history and culture.
To boost your senses with new sounds, sights and smells
Flowers rise up to meet you and trees bow to greet you on any walking holiday. There is no better way to get acquainted with the landscape than allowing your senses to take over. This follows on from our mindfulness point. Let your mind relax, listen to the birds chirping, smell the flowers and the salty smell of fresh seaweed by the coast in Ireland.
To feed your dreams and your brain
A walking holiday is the ideal way to make a connection between physical and mental world. Studies have found that walking improves creativity. If you are hoping to have a good brainstorm about your next big idea or a project you are working than getting outside for a walk is a way to harness the power of the relaxed brain.
These are just a few of the many reasons to go on a walking holiday. Maybe you have another reasons to add to the list? If you would like to learn more about any of our walking holidays you can contact one of our Travel Specialists.

American Protester Hit By Police Rubber Bullet Shows Injury On Twitter
Mediation Between with Police Cause Police Relation
A female protester in the U.S has been caught in the cross fire as she trued to mediate between the police and Angry protester. Renita Lamkin rcently told the Huffington Post that she was 'shot' by police by standing in the street between protesters and police. She was telling police, "They're moving, they're leaving," as protesters were trying to disperse.
"And then there was a pop!" she said. The rubber bullet had struck her stomache. Tension between police and protesters has been rapidly growing since the death of Michael Brown. This was done without cause, she had commited no crime.
The thing that makes this all the more horrific is the fact that she is a African Methodist Episcopal church Pastor.

At the start of a new century, we stand poised between the geopolitical conflict of East versus West; a future marked by the aftermath of the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001; the dangers of global terrorism; the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan followed by the unprovoked invasion and occupation of Iraq; the escalation of conflict in the Middle East; and the continued research and development of nuclear weapons and the stockpiling of bio-chemical weapons. In the area of trade, third- and fourth-world economies and resources are being ravaged.
Our own economy and job security is being undermined by global corporatization, which concentrates greater power in the hands of fewer interests who are unaccountable to the vast majority of the world's people.
As we overcome continued conflicts and violence, independent presidential candidate James Jerome Bell realizes the difficulties inherent in encouraging democracy and of advancing the cause of peace. He supports across the globe sustainable development and social and economic justice and believes that reducing militarism is the key to progress towards collective security.
As one of the initiators and primary authors of the United Nations Charter, he believes that the United States is obligated to conform to the stipulations of the U.S. Constitution, which identifies all such agreements as treaties that hold the authority of U.S. law. The U.S. government is pledged to abide by its principles and guidelines in the conduct of foreign relations and affairs.
James Jerome Bell recognizes our government's obligation to take disputes with other nations to the U.N. Security Council and General Assembly forum for negotiation and resolution. The United Nations and international laws, treaties and conventions that the U.S. has signed constitute the framework that controls U.S. military actions abroad. The U.S. must recognize the sovereignty of nation-states and their right of self-determination.
James Jerome Bell recognizes and supports the right of the U.N. to intervene in a nation-state engaged in genocidal acts or in its persistent violation and denial of the human rights of an ethnic or religious group within its boundaries, and the right to protect the victims of such acts.
Mr. Bell believes that the U.S. is obligated to render military assistance, under U.N. command, to enforce U.N. Security Council resolutions. When the U.N. Security Council is stalemated by vetoes, the U.S. must recognize and abide by the authority of the U.N. General Assembly to act in a crisis situation; by passing a resolution under the Uniting for Peace Procedure.
James Jerome Bell seeks the permanent repeal of the veto power enjoyed by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. As president, he would urge the U.S. government to sign the International Criminal Court agreement and respect the authority of that institution.
Our government does not have the right to justify preemptive invasion of another country on the grounds that the other country harbors, trains, equips and funds a terrorist cell.
Our government should establish a policy to abolish nuclear weapons and should set the conditions and schedule for fulfilling that goal by taking the following steps:
- Declare a no-first-strike policy.
- Declare a no-pre-emptive strike policy.
- Declare that the U.S. will never threaten or use a nuclear weapon, regardless of size, on a non-nuclear nation.
- Sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
- Reverse our withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and honor its stipulations.
- End the research, testing and stockpiling of all nuclear weapons of any size.
- Dismantle all nuclear warheads from their missiles.
Our pledge to end testing will open the way for non-nuclear states to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which has been held up by our refusal to sign the CTBT. We should honor the conditions set in the NPT for nuclear nations.
Independent presidential candidate James Jerome Bell will urge our government to sign the Toronto Treaty banning the production, stockpiling, use and sale of land mines, and assist other nations in unearthing and disabling land mines buried in their lands.
As president, he will urge our government to end all stockpiling of chemical and biological weapons and all research, use, and sale of such weapons; and sign the convention that will establish the decrease and inspection of all nations' stockpiles of such weapons, which the U.S. abandoned.
Under the administration of President James Jerome Bell, the U.S. will allow foreign teams to visit the U.S. for verification purposes at least annually. As the "indispensable nation" of this planet, the United States of America will lead by example when it comes to extolling the virtues of universal peace, universal prosperity, openness and human compassion.
