Domestic measures
A detailed 82-page Home Office document proposes to offer low-skilled EU migrants a maximum of two years' residency in a post-Brexit UK, while those with higher skills could receive work permits lasting three to five years.
Prime Minister Theresa May has formally outlined her proposals to allow EU citizens to remain in the UK once the country leaves the EU.
The Government has issued a White Paper detailing how it will replace EU legislation with national laws, just one day after Prime Minister Theresa May activated Article 50.
The Government's Brexit White Paper reiterates the importance of providing certainty on the immigration status of EU workers already based in the UK and UK nationals already working in the EU.
Brexit will bring stricter controls on immigration, but will not rule out rights for EU workers in Britain and vice versa, the Prime Minister has announced.
The Government gave limited assurances on the future of UK employment rights derived from EU law at a parliamentary debate on Brexit and workers' rights on 7 November.
A letter with 170 questions on the Government's approach to Brexit negotiations, including the future of employment rights in the UK, was sent to Brexit secretary David Davis from Labour shadow cabinet members on 11 October 2016.
The Government has announced that it will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act (ECA) - the key piece of legislation that gives direct effect to all European Union law in the UK.

At the same time as sight, hearing and well being declines, the senior scholar can still learn properly with a couple of modifications to the classroom surroundings and instructing model.
Take the Daily Instances Group of Corporations as an example, they print and publish a number of newspapers and magazines. The company continues to discover the Nigeria's. newspapers market not merely due to its want as a mass communication medium to tell, entertain and enlighten the public. Within the meantime, the Community Colleges, like every department of public training, also faced cuts. And CCSF in San Francisco, found itself preventing for its survival by way of an accreditation crisis CCSF is the provider of Grownup Education in San Francisco, a big metropolis with huge needs for Grownup Ed.
Illustrated speak -this type of presentation could also be given formally—standing in front of the category and serving as a dispenser of data—or informally—maybe sitting round in a bunch, encouraging the scholars' participation. This model, from Dr. Helen Mongan-Rallis, does an excellent job of offering steering on the fundamental parts in this kind of lesson plan. A lot of the lesson plans you see on-line comply with some variation of this template. The Alabama Learning Trade (ALEX) has many outstanding examples of classes utilizing the Madeline Hunter template. It is a very useful lens! My sisters are each ESL lecturers so I will definitely share this with them!
I agree with you! Too many young mother and father don't appear to teach their children anything about manners, respect and common decency. This is as much as dad and mom to show, the college is just an additional assist. Click here to obtain the PDF guidelines that will help you maintain monitor of the place you stopped. Chances are you'll save the document in your recordsdata. It will not save in this blog. Reviewing the undertaking and figuring out what I'd change about my expertise, I have decided that I would begin earlier to collect a set of literature to support my observations.
An ideal set of heat up games! I typically use vocab video games as heat ups in my grownup conversation classes – they really take pleasure in working on vocab, but fall again to their straightforward-to-recall staples throughout conversations. To keep up a protected and secure learning atmosphere that provides all students with the required information and abilities to finish faculty, different post highschool education or training.

text: September 11, 2001 is a day where most people remember where they were and what they were doing. For those at Luther College, there was shock at the news of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Many students, staff and faculty watched news reports on televisions in the Union, Hovde Lounge, dorm rooms and other locations on campus. Late in the morning the college received a campus-wide bomb threat and everyone on campus was cleared first from buildings, then from the campus itself as college personnel, security, and state and local law enforcement made sure that the college was not in danger.

James Johnson averaged less than 4.0 points in 78 underwhelming games with the Bulls, who traded him to the Raptors for a future first-round pick a mere 20 months after they used the 16th pick in the 2009 NBA draft on him.
Johnson signed a four-year, $60 million deal as one of the Heat's primary targets in free agency this summer.
After humbling trips to the Development League and movement from team to team, Johnson has reshaped his body and commitment while remaking his career. The Bulls missed less on Johnson's talent, which now is consistently evident, and more on his makeup at the time and fit because Luol Deng turned into an ironman in front of him.

Eminem New Album 2013 Leak? No Chance, Says Rep, 'They Don't Do Digital'
Eminem's new album in 2013, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, will reportedly not leak before its Nov. 5 release date. The "No Love" rapper, his label Shady Records and manager Paul Rosenberg are taking extra precautions to make sure even the song list remains a secret until the album is out.
Eminem's new album in 2013 is being highly anticipated, with the first single "Bezerk" getting a music video that gained 25 million YouTube views in a few weeks. Although many fans are looking to buy the album, others want it to leak on the internet so they can illegally download it.
"Someone please leak MMLP 2 before I go mentally insane from anticipation," @SimplisticTalk tweeted.
"@Eminem leak just one more song from MMLP2," @duckandpebbles posted, adding to the plethora of voices searching for a free leak. However, a representative from Syndrome Studios, who distributes the rapper's music videos, said there's little chance the album will leak before the scheduled release date.
"I got a call from Paul Rosenberg, Em's manager," James Larese told Reuters. "He's like, 'Em's ready for the visual. I want to play you this song and then just vibe on it. They (Eminem's team) work so crazy. They don't do anything digital."
"So I went to a Staples parking lot, and I had to sit shotgun in one of the A&R's cars to listen to it," Larese continued. "I wrote down a couple notes and left- it was like a drug deal or something."
The lack of digital copies of the album should make it more challenging to steal, but other artists have been victims of leaks in the past. Rapper Drake's last album, Nothing Was The Same was leaked several days before its Sept. 24 release date.

This Slowbro is a water/psychic-type Pokémon owned by Jinga.
Jinga and Slowbro flew on Flygon, along with Toma-Toma and Renza. They encountered Ruby leaving the Sky Tower and intimidated him.
Jinga Mega Evolved his Slowbro and had it attack Ruby, along with Renza's Sableye. Mega Slowbro used Yawn, a move which Ruby's Mega Latios resisted, but was hit by Mega Slowbro's Focus Blast attack. The Pokémon stood in mid-air, since Ruby's Mega Latios spread out tiny vapors, allowing the Pokémon to walk on air. Ruby asked the Draconids if they are Zinnia's friends, since Zinnia claimed Devon Corporation as her enemy and the Draconids stopped their attacks.

The event was jointly organized by the three countries' defense ministries as well as the Tartu-based Baltic Defense College and the International Center for Defense Studies in Tallinn.

Is there a worse feeling in the world than being afraid of your boss? All those hours and days working with someone who is potentially violent, or verbally abusive, is stressful and dangerous. Such is the case for employees of Hillary Clinton. Her temper is legendary.
In an email released by WikiLeaks this week, Democrat Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was exposed as a hot-headed, vicious person, to say the least. In an email exchange with campaign chairman David Podesta, Clinton adviser Neera Tanden wrote "Have her beat the s$*# out of a punch doll (or, maybe a staffer)… so she would be warm and charming in the interview."
Hillary gets cranky without her daily dose of violence against her subordinates. https://t.co/5V9lxahIxF #PodestaEmails31 #Hillary pic.twitter.com/2ZhF9eBmpm
— Mark Maiwurds (@MarkMaiwurds) November 5, 2016
Apparently, prepping Hillary for an interview requires more than feeding her talking points and sizing her up for a new pantsuit. She needs to be calmed, centered, and deflated like a hot air balloon. That's a pretty frightening thought.
Clinton's temper has been well-known for decades. Former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne, who ironically protected the Clintons, calls her "erratic, uncontrollable and occasionally violent" in his book, Crisis of Character. He also says she has a "Jekyll and Hyde temper."
Byrne is just one of many former staffers who have spoken out against Clinton and her temper. She has been called volcanic, impulsive, and "disdainful of the rule set for everyone else."
Even on the campaign trail, there have been many moments where she snapped at her own fans as she worked the rope. Her own fans! Who does that? "Go to the back of the line!" she screamed at one lady.
Her anger has caused countless outbursts. She yells frequently, as we have heard with our own ears during this race to the presidency. This is beyond un-presidential! This is simply unforgivable for someone so influential to treat people like this!
Worst of all, she may be violent, as this email from WikiLeaks shows. Her own adviser, Tanden, implies that she is accustomed to hitting people in the face. Again, who does that? You can't even do that on a school playground without major repercussions, any first-grader knows that.
Perhaps her most famous violent episode is from the 1990s when, according to Byrne and others, she allegedly destroyed a White House vase and punched Bill in the face, leaving a black eye that lasted for days. If Bill had punched her, there would have been an uproar in this country. Abuse is abuse, regardless of gender, but over Hillary's violence, Democrats and Progressives say nothing.
Well, let's do everything we can to send a message about Clinton's temper! On Tuesday, let's finish the final chapter of the Clinton years.
What do you think about the Clinton staffer's comments on Hillary's anger? Please share this story on Facebook and tell us what you think because we want to hear YOUR voice!

For years I accepted the orthodoxy that frozen broad beans will do almost as well as fresh. Lots of food writers I respect write of "fresh or frozen" beans as more or less interchangeable, especially if you slip off the tough grey skins. All I can think is that they have a better supplier of frozen beans than I do.
Two dinners early last summer brought home the infinite superiority of fresh broad beans. The first was a meal where I was – fatally – trying to impress some people. I made Yotam Ottolenghi's beef meatballs with broad beans and lemon, from Jerusalem (Ebury, £27), described as "the perfect spring supper". Ottolenghi said "fresh or frozen" and, in a hurry, I opted for frozen. The mix of spices and herbs was lovely (cumin, parsley, mint, dill, coriander), with a fierce sharpness from the lemon. But the frozen beans were mealy and flavourless and left me with terrible post-dinner-party regrets.
The next dinner was a week or so later. Some fresh broad bean pods had come in our veg box so, on a whim, I included them in the family supper. Podding the beans was therapy in itself. It's a curious pleasure to feel the downy insides and extract the pale kidney-shaped beans. I blanched them for three minutes, then pinched out the grass-green insides. Warmed in butter with spinach, mint and garlic, the beans made a workaday pilaf of leftover roast chicken special.
After this, I realised I should stop viewing broad beans as an always-in the-freezer standby (like petits pois) and start seeing them as a seasonal treat, like asparagus or artichokes. When fresh and young enough, you can serve them raw from the pods, with Parma ham or sharp sheep's cheese, as the Italians do. Another way to showcase fresh beans is in Lucas Hollweg's "peas, broad beans and ricotta on toast", from his wonderful Good Things to Eat (Collins, £20). He rightly says this combination of beans, peas, ricotta, oil and mint on garlic-rubbed toast tastes like "a mouthful of early summer". With frozen beans, the sparkle and crunch would be gone.
Freshly podded beans do not always delight. The pulse expert Jenny Chandler complains that some gardeners "feel that a broad bean is only worth harvesting once it's a leathery giant". You can boil such a bean for a quarter of an hour, and it still won't tenderise. They are only fit for drying, as peasants once did throughout Europe for winter protein. Over-large specimens can make you see why there used to be a prejudice against broad beans, which were seen as windy and indigestible food for the poor. Frozen broad beans – which are never too big – are definitely more acceptable than the most elderly fresh ones.
Tiny fresh beans, though, are joyous. I've never had any small enough to eat pods and all, as the Renaissance cook Scappi recommends. But I have enjoyed infant beans podded, boiled and tossed with parsley and butter, as a springlike companion to ham; or made into a delicate green stew with asparagus and herbs and cream, to eat with tagliatelle. Half the pleasure of such a dish is knowing that you can eat it for only a few short early-summer weeks. Frozen just wouldn't be the same.

The second novel in the Virals trilogy from the number-one best-selling author and inspiration for the TV series Bones - Kathy Reichs!
Ever since Tory Brennan and her friends rescued Cooper, a kidnapped wolf pup with a rare strain of canine parvovirus, they've turned from regular kids into a crime-solving pack! But now the very place that brought them together - the Loggerhead Island Research Institute - is out of funding and will have to shut down. That is, unless the Virals can figure out a way to save it!
So when Tory learns of an old Charleston legend about a famous she-pirate, Anne Bonney, whose fortune was never found, she can't believe her luck - buried treasure is exactly what she needs to save the Institute on Loggerhead! Trouble is, she and her friends aren't the only ones looking for it. And this time, the Virals' special powers may not be enough to dig them out of trouble.

Definitely YA
I thoroughly enjoyed Virals. However, Seizure was not near as interesting. There was more find-the-pirate-treasure "adventure" with only bits and pieces of the core storyline--- the abilities of the Virals. This is another one of those series in which the author seems as interested in stretching out the series as she does in developing characters and moving the plot along. I have stopped and started this one several times while reading other novels in between. I want to finish it, but I'm struggling to stay interested.
Also, I am a high school English teacher, so I frequently preview YA books for my class. I was fascinated with Hunger Games and just as impressed with Divergent. I thought this series may be along those lines, but I can imagine readers losing interest halfway through this one.

Last night I thought I'd make Grahm some delicious brinner (breakfast for dinner) cause that kid loves pancakes more than his delightful wife (only half true). This is funny because he's skinnier than a rail (seriously, there's no differentiation between his thigh and his calf). The fluffy goodness of pancakes doesn't go to his fluffy parts (because he doesn't have any) like it does with me. So I try to limit the number of pancakes and bacon I make in our household.
Confession time: I do this mainly because... I really struggle with making
Now we all know from past POSTS that I'm a class act when it comes to serving up meals. It's like I have the golden touch when a whisk (I own no such thing) is in my hand. Delectableness effortlessly pops out of my oven every night. (I sit on a throne of lies, my friends.)
But bacon is deceitful.
Everyone likes bacon so you're easily swayed in the grocery store to buy it. You whip it out of the fridge thinking, "Oh, I'll just throw this on the stove and call it delicious."
"Babe what are you doing!?"
"WAHHHHH. I'm trying to make delicious bacon but it's SOOO hard!"
He still ate the few edible pieces I was somehow able to save from a greasy death, even pretendeding to like it the cardboard-like meat. (I tell ya, I picked a winner.)
I thought the night was over and I couldn't possibly embarrass myself anymore...
but then I make or may not have poured bacon grease down the drain, which (according to Grahm) you're not supposed to do.
So needless to say, the Roaches will not be partaking in brinner anytime soon. Darn you, pigs.

Golden Gate
Text and Pictures: Rita van den Heever. Article from the Autumn 2013 issue of Wild Magazine.
Heavens above
With pure mountain air, endless views and several hiking trails, Golden Gate is a weekend destination good for body and soul.
Golden Gate Highlands National Park takes your breath away. There is simply no other way of describing it. In winter it can easily become a white wonderland after heavy snow. In spring and summer it offers more shades of green than you can think of, which in turn become the rich hues of autumn. And always, like a primeval presence, there are the towering sandstone cliffs in their gloriously rich golden tones.
An easy three-and-a-half hours' drive from Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein, this true highland habitat is home to a variety of game, including black wildebeest, eland, blesbok, oribi, springbok and Burchell's zebra. For bird lovers it is a paradise with 177 species listed, while photographers are in for a special treat since the opening last year of the vulture hide. It provides the chance to get up close with the endangered bearded vulture (lammergeyer) and Cape vulture. Not to forget the rare bald ibis breeding on the sandstone cliffs for which Golden Gate is so famous.
If you simply want to enjoy the beauty of the magnificent scenery you do not need to leave your accommodation. Just sit and look, let the tranquillity overwhelm you. For a leisurely sightseeing drive, there are two tarred roads leading through the park, including the vulture hide.
But for the actively minded Golden Gate is heaven. The hiking trails are well marked and maintained. In sensitive areas the trails are paved with a concrete strip or blocks. Take time to look at the fairy gardens that have sprung up in the cavities of the blocks. Trails range from the easy, which can be tackled with small children, to the industrial strength where you need to be hiking fit. A good trails guide is available in the park.
Don't leave camp without sunscreen, a hat, water and, for the challenging hikes, sturdy walking boots. A hiking pole comes in very handy on the steep and uneven terrain. If you have bad knees some of the trails are best left alone. Remember the weather can change very quickly in these mountains. Be prepared, especially on the longer hikes.
The park also offers horseback riding, canoeing and abseiling. Pre-booking these is essential and can be done at the hotel or on 058-255-1000. On hot days, I recommend a swim in the natural rock pool in the hills behind the hotel.
Visitors are spoilt for choice, from beautiful camping grounds and rondawels at Glen Reenen Rest Camp (from R160 a night for a campsite) to the pampered luxury of the Golden Gate Hotel (from R910 a night for two). Nestled at the foot of the imposing Brandwag Buttress, the hotel has wonderful views of the cliffs and mountains from every window. For visitors who crave solitude in this wonderland, there is the option to stay high up in the clouds at the Highlands Mountain Retreat (from R1 110 a night for two). For the culturally minded the Basotho Cultural village with its self-catering traditional huts is a welcoming spot (from R650 a night for two).

|Bengali Name :
|Minjiri / Minziri ful (মিনজিরি ফুল).
|Common Name :
|Siamese cassia, Siamese Senna, Yellow cassia, Thai cassia, etc.
|Botanical Name :
|Senna siamea
|Synonym :
|Cassia siamea
|Family :
Siamese cassia or Yellow cassia whatever the name you call this, a beautiful profusely blooming yellow flowering plant that suits with out environment easily here in Bangladesh. Actually this plant is native to the Eastern part of India, Mayanmar, Malaysia, etc area.
In Bengali we call this as Minziri (মিনজিরি), not sure about this nomenclature. The botanical name of this flowering plant is Senna siamea with lot of synonyms (i.e. Cassia siamea). It belongs to the plant family Caesalpiniaceae.
It is a medium sized (12-18 meter) plant that is very fragile to the heavy wind. This evergreen plant brings alternately arranged pinnate leafs which comprise of 14-26 varies sized leaflets. Small leaflets are lens/elliptic in shape. Upper side of the leaflets are shinny and dark green.
Siamese cassia (মিনজিরি) flowers are too much showy as the bring numerous flowers on the tree. They are yellow in color and use to color the tree with the color of the flowers. Blooming season is mainly the autumn to late-autumn here in Bangladesh but found few blooming during winter and summer too. But during the autumn the cluster size is much larger as per my observation.
Small Siamese cassia (মিনজিরি) flowers from the cluster are having five yellow petals similar to other cassia flowers. Petals are slightly curvy that forms a cup at inner side. It has 5-8 stamens with maroon (or coffee) colored filaments on top. The style of the flower is curved to upper wards and later converts into a legume like fruits. Fruits are are having 15-25 seeds inside of it. Propagation of this plant can be done from those seeds.
These Yellow cassia (মিনজিরি ফুল) are during late autumn.
When I have first observed this flower I thought of it as Peltophorum pterocarpum (কনক চূড়া) and didn't pay that much attention on it. But when I was working with the flowers closely on my computer, I found they were totally different. I was happy to find that it was a different flower. This plant is available around the street sides in Dhaka (ঢাকা).
Legume like fruits of Yellow cassia (মিনজিরি ফুল).

Cooking will not be allowed between 9 am and 6 pm and those who violate the order can be jailed
To combat with the increasing i1ncidents of fires due to scorching heat, Bihar Government has come up with a unique and bizarre solution as prohibited cooking in day time.
In the scorching summer, fires in Bihar have killed 66 people and 1,200 animals in the past two weeks while across the country, a heat wave has led to more than 100 deaths, especially in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.
Cooking will not be allowed between 9 am and 6 pm during the summer and those who violate the order can be jailed for up to two years. Religious functions involving fire have also been banned.
Nitish Kumar government's logic is that heavy winds are picking up sparks from cooking fires and igniting straw huts.
The latest incident took place in the Begusarai district two days ago, when over 300 huts were burnt.
"The point is that hundreds of lives are at risk. The order has only been given after a detailed survey on just how the fires started. The jail term is based on a law on disaster management," says Vyasji, the Bihar government official in charge of handling disasters.
At a village in Bihar's Jehanabad, Satender Bind, who lost his hut in a recent fire, says: "It sounds fine but I wonder how many people will follow it. There are practical difficulties. But yes I did lose my home in a fire and it started from someone's cooking."
Policemen at the village say enforcing such an order is difficult but the threat of punishment may spur villagers to follow it on their own.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
I want my children to be happy and surrounded by people that love them. I'm a lucky mom because both of my children do. My eldest son, Brooks, is married now and has many people that care about him.
For Austin, who lives with Down syndrome, it has taken a little longer. He has lifelong buddies he has met through school, Special Olympics Texas and the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas, where he also met his girlfriend. Along the way, he has slowly built his circle of friends that truly care about him. It is amazing how a person you meet through unlikely circumstances, like basketball, continues to be involved in your child's future.
I've also been pleasantly surprised how Austin has been embraced at Plano West Senior High School -- the students are awesome. He met friends through Best Buddies, peer assistants, Partners PE, PALS and a Special Olympics TX-Plano team that plays a basketball game once a month against another school club, such as the Student Senate. Many of the students he has met through these programs have become dear friends outside of school.
Then, Austin has his H.E.R.O.E.S. family. Today, the organization has camps, weekend retreats and continuing education special needs programs, which the organization hopes to expand to a full-time day and job training program. They have embraced Austin and given him his self-confidence back.
As I reflected on my wish -- for my children to be surrounded by people that love them -- over this Mother's Day weekend, I felt very happy and blessed.
Becky Igo is the mom of 2 sons-Brooks and Austin. Austin is 21 and has Down syndrome. She is active in the special needs community through Special Olympics Texas, Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas, Special Ed Advisory committee for Plano ISD, and others. She can be contacted at email@example.com.

US firms Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and Paul Hastings have both confirmed plans to open a Seoul office following the recent ratification of the Korea-US Free Trade agreement by both countries.
The Korea-US Free Trade agreement (FTA) was first ratified by the US Government in October 2011 and by the South Korean Government last Tuesday (22 November) after four years of negotiations. The FTA, widely expected to become effective from January 2012, will allow US law firms to have a physical presence in the country for the first time.
Cleary earlier today announced its plans to open an office in Seoul in the first half of 2012. Partner Yong Guk Lee and counsel Jay Hoon Choi, together with several Korean-speaking associates, will relocate to Seoul from Hong Kong initially.
However, the firm clarified that it is yet to submit an application for the office as the regulatory framework is still being developed. Lee, who has been practising with Cleary since 1992 and in Hong Kong since 2004, noted that the firm has been considering a Korea office since the FTA negotiations started in 2007 and the recent ratification has made its thinking more concrete.
"We've been involved in practising law with Korean clients for over 20 years, and we've started thinking seriously about having an office in Korea as it looks like it's more possible to do so," said Lee.
The firm plans to relocate the current Korean team from Hong Kong to Korea in the next two to four years. It has more than 30 lawyers worldwide who are fluent in Korean, including four partners, two counsel and 11 associates based in Hong Kong.
"The Seoul office will offer our clients the convenience of having our lawyers accessible on the ground and we're hoping to broaden and deepen our relationship with them," said Lee. "Currently, capital markets and cross-border M&A are the two core practice areas for the Korea practice. With the new office we'll have opportunities to handle a wider variety of international matters for our clients, such as antitrust and disputes resolution and restructuring."
Paul Hastings, meanwhile, has also reaffirmed its commitment to enter the South Korean market by setting up a Seoul office as soon as local regulations change.
"The firm's management and the partnership have already been fully committed to opening a Seoul office. We're already planning to submit an application once the FTA becomes effective, presumably in January 2012. It's just a matter of time and a matter of the process," said Hong Kong partner Daniel Kim.
Paul Hastings has a 10-lawyer Korea team based in Hong Kong that includes partners Kim and Jong Han Kim, who is head of Korea practice.
"Our plan is to relocate most if not all of the Korea team to Seoul as soon as it's allowed," said Kim.
The firm has 25 Korean lawyers worldwide. Samsung and Hanwha are among the firm's Korean clients. It is also currently working on two Hong Kong IPOs for PRC issuers that are subsidiaries of Korean parent companies.
It is understood that within the first five years of launching in Seoul, foreign firms will not be allowed to practise local Korean law or employee Korea-qualified lawyers. International firms expect that their relationships with local firms will remain largely unchanged. However, competition for US-qualified Korean lawyers with international experience will inevitably increase once the market opens.

The Toyota Venza is a bit of an odd duck, with few direct competitors in the rather marginal "fat-wagon" family. Cars.com reviewer Kristin Varela tested the 2014 version of the Venza and found that it gets a lot right, particularly for a parent running around town getting groceries and ferrying children to school and such — even on slick winter roads. Problems became evident, however, when Varela hit the highway; that's when the cabin — already hampered by some cheap-looking materials — became a sonic assault of road noise. Read the review below.
2014 Toyota Venza Expert Review

Evesham, United Kingdom (PressExposure) June 02, 2014 -- Are you planning to organise any event or competition? Do you want to buy trophies or awards for the winning participant or candidate? Are you confused whether you should buy from the traditional shops or online stores? Do you want to guidance for the same? Do you want to know the advantages of buying them online? If the answers to the above mentioned questions are yes, you are in the right place.
There are several types of awards and trophies; for school competitions, employee of the month, and sports games like tennis, badminton, cricket and football trophies. There is a different design for every type and category of awards and trophy.
You have to take a lot of care while buying awards. There are a lot of things that should be taken into the consideration while buying them from traditional stores and there are a lot of chances to make mistakes too. On the other side, buying online has got several advantages. Out of those several advantages, let us have a look at some of the most important ones.
1. You can buy them with the help of a few clicks by sitting there on your comfortable couch without getting out of your house. You can pay them online safely and it will be delivered on your doorstep in no step.
2. If you opt for traditional stores, you have to move from one store to another till you get the one you are looking for. On the other side an online store lets you browse through a comprehensive range of products at a time.
3. If you do not get it in the store, it will be a waste of your time; where as in online stores, you can place an order even if it is out of stock.
4. You can buy it from anywhere at any time round the clock, unlike traditional stores which have got fixed working hours and are closed on the festivals and weekends.
I hope that the above mentioned points help you to understand the importance of buying the awards online. Good luck with that!
If you are really in the quest of such store, without checking out anywhere else, do visit http://www.bettertrophiesbetterprices.co.uk/. Tower Trophies is the largest trophy store online where you get the best products at the lowest possible price.

The following excerpt, from the article How one three-letter word can create a personal buying experience, was written by Chris H. Petersen, PhD, CEO of Integrated Marketing Solutions, and published on RetailCustomerExperience.com. Petersen offers insight into how your staff can not only greet but interact with customers by offering a value-added service that online shopping can't recreate. Take a look at his advice below, then view the full article for more information on how he arrived at this idea.
Much has been written and continues to be written about the battle between online e-commerce and retail stores. If it is only about lowest price, game over. Online wins IF you, the consumer, already know what you want. Online retailers are really efficient at helping you find the "what" at best price. The real potential of bricks and mortar stores is being able to address "how" to help you buy a better solution. "How can I help you" is the foundation for stores to offer personalized service required for the consumer centric world of today.
Online retailers are the epitome of product-centric retailing. Pick Amazon or your favorite online retailer and go to their site. How do you shop it? Where do you start? You essentially have two choices: 1) type something in the search bar, or 2) use some of the categories of online retailer's major categories displayed on the site.
Either way, the online retailer is totally dependent upon you having some idea of what you are searching for. The better online retailers, like Amazon, sometimes do a reasonable job of suggesting related accessories. But, you must first narrow down your choice to a product you want. Even the much touted consumer reviews on Amazon are all product, "what"-centric.
The potential power of "how" in retail stores
The addition of one simple three-letter word, "how" in a consumer greeting can change everything! How creates an "open question" that can't be answered with a simple yes or no. Opening with "how" puts you, the consumer, in the driver seat. "How can I help" doesn't make the assumption that you are looking for a product, or even a service in the retail store. "How" opens up the opportunities for you, the consumer, to present the case or problem that you are trying to solve for even if you don't know what to look for.
The tremendous power of "how can I help" results in two distinct possibilities
- If the associate asks "how" — you, the consumer, become more open to talking about what you are trying to do or solve for. This creates a tremendous store opportunity to truly help you and personalize the service, creating a dialog and a relationship.
- If you elect to politely decline the offer of help for now, the "how" greeting still has a powerful impact. If "how" is delivered sincerely, you will more likely feel that the retailer cares about you, opening the potential for dialog and a future relationship.
Regardless of the consumer answer to "how can I help you," the power of adding "how" is the potential to create interaction, and the potential of a relationship based on personalizing solutions and services. "How" focuses on engagement and building trust in relationships.
Retail paradox: Are retailers selling you or helping find what's best?
I'm a big proponent of focusing on results that count. But when you focus only on retail metrics like increasing retail sales, margin or profitability, it can quickly become a slippery slope of "selling more things to our consumers." In traditional product-centric retailing, "can we help you" too often gets translated to "can we sell you."
I don't know about you, but I have never gone into a retail store looking to "be sold." Consumers want help with problems. They are looking for assistance on how they can buy the right things that fit their lifestyle. Adding the three simple letters of "how" changes the balance to be consumer focused. It literally changes the relationship to: "how can I help you buy what you need today … and how can I earn your business relationship long-term."
The power of HOW can't be faked — It also requires execution
As difficult as it is to get store associates to ask the "how can I help you" question, retail stores cannot afford to not deliver on the "how." Simply pointing you to the right aisle or even escorting you to products is no better than product search on Amazon.
If retailers truly want to compete with online and differentiate their value, they need to have the staffing, who have the skills and training to help us "average" consumers find answers, and personalize the way WE want to do it. It is no longer enough to sell us a device; we want to be able to personalize it within our lifestyle and circle of other devices.
The future success of retail stores will be not be dependent upon their ability to sell products at a low price, but rather their ability to help consumers buy a personal solution today, and then upgrade it again and again to fit their lifestyle

You could say this is more of a roundup than a review (see, I just said it). How about we just take a look at 4 different sets of poles and see how they stack up against each other? When I opened the gear closet and everything piled out on top of me I grabbed the first four sets of poles that I could, and this is what I came up with:
- Gossamer Gear Lightrek 4 (LT4) Regular – 8.8 oz with straps
- Titanium Goat Adjustable Goat Poles (AGP) 7.6 oz without straps
- Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork ~ 17.8 oz with straps
- REI Peak UL Carbon Fiber Women's ~ 13.2 oz with straps
The above weights are per pair as weighed on my scale. Speaking of weight we clearly have 2 classes of weights here, lightweight and "ultralight". It's really amazing to experience the effortless handling of the ultralight poles. Admittedly these poles won't stand up to abuse as well as their heavier counterparts, however they're sure to tempt hikers who tend to take decent care of their gear and are willing to sacrifice a little durability for a solid weight savings.
The above photos show (from the left) the Peak UL, Alpine Carbon, AGP, and LT4. The Gossamer Gear and Ti Goat's are two section designs and so their collapsed length is somewhat longer than the three-section poles. All of these poles extend to lengths suitable for use in pitching a tent/tarp. The lengths I measured were pretty close to manufacturer specs.
- Alpine Carbon: 24.5″ – 51.2″
- Peak UL: 23.5″ – 49″
The locking system is a point worth talking about. The Black Diamond system utilizes a cam lever with adjustable tension (aka "Flicklock") provided by a phillips head screw. Owners will want to set the tension while at home instead of on the trail where a screwdriver is not likely to be around. Once set, they retain the tension setting very well and the mechanism itself provides a quick, secure, and hassle-free method of locking the poles. The twist lock on the other hand can range from just ok to miserably stubborn. Unfortunately for the Komperdell-made REI poles the latter is often the case. I've experienced fits of rage punctuated by cursing while trying unsuccessfully to get these poles to lock. On other occasions they lock effortlessly. It's mind boggling and frustrating since the poles are actually well made. I'm happy to report that I've had much better success with the Gossamer Gear and Ti Goat poles locking systems. It could be that the locking mechanism on these is a little less complicated than the REI/Komperdell/etc… poles. There have been a few rare moments when they act up but this is easily solved by making an adjustment to the rubber lock mechanism which is exposed by separating the two pole sections. It's very easy to do and, again, has rarely been an issue in my experience.
The grips of all these poles differ slightly as well. The simple foam cigar grip on the Ti Goats may be anonymous enough to work for just about anyone, but if you need an ergonomic grip to feel comfortable it could be a deal breaker. The REI poles feature molded rubber grips while the Gossamer Gear and Black Diamond's both sport molded cork grips. Straps are optional on both the Ti Goat and Gossamer Gear poles. Grips are a personal thing and I find that the Black Diamond grips suit my big ol bear paws, although the simple design of the Ti Goat's also works just fine for me and the weight difference between those two is noticeable.
The tips and baskets are fairly standard. All utilize carbide tips. The LT4 and Alpine Carbon poles have identical baskets. The AGP and Peak UL have slightly larger baskets. That orange o-ring on the LT4 is there to prevent dirt from getting into the joint when the pole is inverted for use in pitching a tent or tarp… nice attention to detail by Gossamer Gear.
The Bottom Line
All of these poles have different things going for them. The Peak UL poles are the most affordable and offered in a slightly longer/heavier mens' version and shorter/lighter Youth version. The money you save on these will go into your swear jar the first time the locks act up. The Alpine Carbon poles rock a bomb proof locking system but with the added weight penalty. Finally the Gossamer Gear and Ti Goat poles provide an ultralight solution at a higher cost with the primary difference being the grip styles. One footnote on these last two poles – they are both compatible with the ultralight Tenkara fishing rod (they can replace the bottom section of the rod) which is an interesting twist if you happen to do some fishing while backpacking. At the end of the day there's not always a definitive answer but one thing is certain – the right trekking poles can speed up your pace and make your hike more enjoyable. Hike It Like It.
