Ford had been the top-selling brand in the European Union for only a month before Volkswagen swooped in and got back its top rating. Industry body ACEA revealed that the Ford brand exceeded Volkswagen brand by 1,298 units in March, selling 168,611 new cars compared with VW's 167,313 units. Last April, VW sold 138,304 new-cars in the EU, a 7.7% drop while Ford's sales plunged nearly 20% to 87,721 units.
In fact, Ford was overtaken by Renault, which sold 99,642 units, and Peugeot, which sold 88,721 units.
Ford sales suffered as scrappage schemes that have increased sales of the smaller Fiesta and Ka models ended or were wound down in key European markets. Due to their strong domestic French market and by the launches of new products.
Renault and Peugeot raised sales. Ford's impressive March result was said to be due to the company's exceptionally strong performance in the UK, which is Ford's largest European market.
This had also been Europe's largest car market in March. As of April, Germany had Europe's largest market in April with 259,414 cars sold, followed by France (190,917); Italy (159,971) and the UK (148,793). The EU is found in 27 countries.

PractiFI Rioja Release
We've been hard at work building the latest version of PractiFI and we're super proud to be shipping some significant improvements. Rioja (pronounced ree OH hah) is one of the most comprehensive updates we've ever made to PractiFI, featuring a completely new user interface, responsive design, significantly improved load times and dozens of new features.
As always, feel free to get in touch if you would like more specifics on any of the below.
PractiFI Rioja Release
- Xero Integration: Create a contact in Xero with the push of a button in PractiFI. Sync paid invoices to PractiFI instalments and view them in detail at the click of a button. Note: You must have a Xero subscription to use this integration.
- GetFeedback Integration: Send surveys to clients directly from the PractiFI client record. Sync survey responses back to PractiFI Interactions. Note: You must have a GetFeedback for Salesforce subscription to use this integration.
- SPA user interface: The user interface (UI) has been completely redesigned, both visually and technologically with more than 230 new pages.
- On the technical side, SPA stands for Single Page Application and provides significantly enhanced configuration options and much improved page load performance.
- On the visual side, every page has been streamlined to make navigation more intuitive and key information easier to read and search. SPA is a completely responsive design, able to re-size for different screen sizes from desktops down to tablets.
- Note: The SPA UI will not be switched on automatically. You will initially continue to access the standard screens and we will work with your system administrator to add back any customisation and modifications that have been made to your standard screens before activating your SPA experience.
- Unfortunately, we will not be supporting improvements to the old screens (except for high severity bug fixes) once you have gone live with SPA or after 31 December 2017.
- Unique URLs: Every page in the UI has a unique URL allowing you to save your favourite pages, lists (including filters) or clients as a bookmark in your browser.
- Responsive screens: All screens are now responsive, resizing according to your display size.
- Tablet compatible: Now compatible with iPad when used in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
- New configuration options: New customisation options to help you create your own experience. Choose which pages to use across your entire org. Personalised configuration can be made on a per user-profile or even per user basis. Menu configuration lets you customise navigation items, launcher items and user settings.
- Customisable tables: Easily move or hide columns in tables according to your personal preference. These settings will then be saved for your future sessions.
- New Client Entity Relationships page: Using the new menu configuration, you can include new pages such as a Relationship page for Client Entities, making it easy to manage relationships between Client Entities such as a Corporate Trustee of an SMSF.
- New Global Search Engine: Allows you to search for a phone number, email address or policy number, going beyond just Clients and Services. The global search engine has been completely reworked and now provides search results across various areas including:
- Practices
- Team Members
- Tasks
- Interactions
- New Task Automation Actions: Task Automation allows actions to be fired automatically following the completion of a task (and optionally selecting an outcome). New actions available are:
- Create a New Service – creates a new Advice Service allowing you to automate the setup of a new service, such as moving from an onboarding service to an ongoing service.
- Set the Stage on a Service – changes the stage on a related Advice Service automatically to align with the service life cycle, such as closing out a completed service.
- Rollover Date on a Service – rolls over the Review, Statement or Renewal date on an Advice Service, updating the provided date and incrementing the next due date.
- Task Automation available on Task Templates: Task Automation is now available on Task Templates, rather than only on Process Steps allowing for Actions to be launched from ad hoc tasks. Actions available are:
- Create a new Service
- Start a new Process
- Set Service Stage
- Set Client Stage
- Rollover date on Service
- Process step setup simplified: Outcomes and Actions are now also included in the Process Step setup page.
- Data Management: A new function for administrators with a wide range of columns and filters to allow fine-tuning of lists for mass updating, merging or downloading to Excel. You can also flag records for use in document generation or bulk transactions. This effectively separates the more simplified lists seen in the standard UI from those those required by admins with a more extensive range of columns and filters. Lists are available for:
- Clients
- People
- Advice Services
- Processes
- Tasks
- Interactions
- Employers
- Subfunds
- Member Accounts
- Relative User Assignment for Processes: When setting up a Process Type, you can now define whether the process should be automatically assigned to a specific user, relationship or the service/client owner. This works in a similar manner to the equivalent settings already in place for Process Steps.
- Processes for Employers and Member Accounts: Process Types can now be set up for Client Entities such as Companies, Trusts and SMSFs.
- Bulk Create Tasks and Interactions for People: The Bulk Create Task and Bulk Create Interaction wizards from the Launcher menu now allow you to create tasks and interactions for multiple people records in one go.
- New Contact Method Selector: New configurable category allows you to set the preferred contact method for each person.
- Feed Templates in Settings: New function to easily add and maintain preset templates for feeds. This replaces the previous function which was maintained via Salesforce Settings.
The following enhancements are for superannuation users only:
- Strategic Advice Referral: A new Referral wizard allows your superannuation member services team to refer members through to your advice team, setting up all their details as a prospective advice client, or updating their existing advice records.
- Processes for Employers and Member Accounts: Process Types can now be set up for Employers and Member Accounts. They can be launched separately or in bulk via the Bulk Launch Processes function in the Launcher menu.
- New Stages for Member Accounts and Subfunds: We have separated Stages for Member Accounts and Subfunds from Service Stages.
- Fixed an error where the "@" symbol could not be pasted into a Feed.
- Corrected the default process name where the process is created by task automation so that it is consistent with processes created by other methods.
- Fixed an error with saving the primary contact via the Create a Household Client wizard.
- Tidied up User Permission Sets to ensure they are consistent across orgs and that new functionality works without the need to be 'switched on'.

Windmill Brixton London, Greater London
We didn't set out to be a venue as such but live music at the Windmill Brixton, just kinda evolved. Late night sessions at this bar revealed that the regulars carried a wealth of experience in musicianship, sound engineering and promoting, and since we drank there anyway we decided that we should get a good band down now and again to listen to. The bands came. They loved the informality and the fact that we bothered to pay them, and, some five years later the Windmill is known far beyond the read more

"Cards came as ordered"
"I did not have a pic of my entire family and this was perfect for adding an insert to get the whole family on the card. Also, we really liked the ability to put a photo on the back, which we used for our dog."

"We have used Shutterfly to create personalized Christmas cards for a number of years. Always plenty of design selections and quality results."

Discussion in 'Pro Match Results and Discussion' started by -RF-, Apr 20, 2013.
Maybe but it's way more predictable, how often does he go DTL?
Have to say, even I'm surprised by this.
Some quite confident touch shots coming out from Nole, with his and Murray's current era patented dropshot lob combo's.
Nadal's movement is definitely compromised, especially moving forward, compared to prime...
Djokovic is definitely back at 100%
Djokovic just took a breather and tried some new things in the last couple of games. Nothing to worry. He will take in in two.
Djokovic is just simply superior in baseline rallies which are both bread and butter. More variety, better techniques. Nothing Nadal do can hurt Djokovic consistently.
I sound hopeful and you're underestimating Rafa's power on clay. Watch and learn.
That's right. And thus it's only an occasional weapon.
Nadal lost 6-2 at MC!!! Despite Nadal playing his best and moving his best since 2008.
I really think the serve is vital. Nadal needs to start not allowing Nole so many returning chances.
Where was that? Ad court or deuce court? Am not watching the match
Anyone noticed the hot blonde lineswoman?
no one is surprised by your trolling...
I think my brother needed this easy service game more than anything right now.
Great, great game from Rafa
So, you're the unfortunate one who got the bald gene. Sorry brother.
ad court ... it was on breakpoint / setpoint ...
It's not his movement, it's Djoker movement and game. He is dominating most of the rallies.
Nadal is starting to control these rallies and Djokovic is doing most of the running even on serve.
Ralph winning for the first time in any set in this match!
Rafa just need to remember who he is and what court he's on
I want to hear VAMOSDNA's excuse after the match. Hell, I want everyone in the ************* to come up with an excuse.
Ad court where Rafa usually goes outwide
Rafa double faulted the set?
It's ok, he got the hair and the fame, I get the ladies....
I think he also remembers who he's playing
Nothing bothers Novak quite like Rafa's fh when it's on
I smell a break. Nadal will take this set.
A key difference in why Nole is the one being ran around; he is now refusing to hit his forehand up the line. This is an important detail which is changing the dynamic of the rallies. Novak has lost a little bit of his opening set bravery.
LOL I just started watching 5 mins ago. Nadal is running Dork all over the court and whooping his butt. Guess he felt like playing 3 sets today.
2 BPs for Rafa.
Damnit Rafa yes! Yes!
As I said earlier, it depends on how Novak responds to his own dip in performance...
Doesn't matter if Nadal breaks, he's very breakable himself today.
Yes, after saving 7 set points, IIRC.
Why will he make an excuse for Nadal if he wins ? :-?
intense play!
I can't even watch the Sunday news talk shows because of this...
Man what a war
Perhaps that's why he's NOT hitting the DTL FH, he isn't confident with it.
That super sharp and flat angle seemed to forced Rafa into committing to a higher risk shot.
nope, fed's FH breaks down novak quite a bit more ....
Djoker's defence is outrageous
Djokovic holds after Rafa makes some errors. 2-1
So that's how he responds. Inspiring play.
Wasted game there for Rafa
Freakin' important hold by Novak there. Rafa's definitely not going to make it easy from here on out.
Looks like Nadal's knee is back to 100%. His movement his phenomenal today. But surprisingly still losing, what a testament to Djokovic's abilities.
Important hold for Djokovic here.
Rafa a little unlucky losing that game, that has to sting
Nadal's movement has been compromised since his return. even much lesser players have taken advantage of that with the dropshot...
Separate names with a comma.

Review for Dalit Freedom Network, Washington, DC, USA
We have been working in OM India many years ago and kept contact all these years, also by several visits. After attending a conference at OM base in Hyderabad in 2005 we were impressed by the opportunities there are to help Dalit communities and the commitment of Indian friends to start 100 schools for Dalit children. We returned to Sweden and started sponsorship program for Dalit children. We have now 110 children fully sponsored. The advocacy program of DFN is also of much importance and this autumn we are part of starting Dalit Freedom Network Sweden for advocay, information and support.

Great story that augments the movies
Tons of Matrix-style action and combat
Large locations
Live action footage is wonderful
Camera could be better in tight spaces
Some rough edges on the character models
Flight levels feel tacked on
Rather than make a game based directly on the events of the
original Matrix movie and the sequel Matrix
Reloaded, the Wachoski brothers directed Shiny to make
a game set to expand the universe while paralleling and even
crossing over with events of the Matrix Reloaded. Players
take on the role of either Niobe or Ghost, two fellow freedom
fighters who enter the matrix to fight for their cause. In
the real world, news of an imminent attack on Zion by the
machines sets events into motion. To augment the exceptionally
done story is a good bit of live action footage shot just
for the game (Heck, they filmed two movies at the same time
- I'm sure they had extra footage laying around).
It must be said that the gameplay goes a long way to capture
the feel of the Matrix movies. You have one button
for punches, one for kicks, one for jumping and an-all purpose
action button that can be used for anything ranging from open
doors to countering or dodging attacks during combat. Throw
in a button to fire your main weapon, one for grenades and
explosives and the ability to go into first person perspective
and you have the makings of a good action title. One of the
best aspects of the game is the Focus ability, which allows
you to perform uber-moves by clicking and holding the left-stick
button while you fight, run or just about anything. You can
run up walls, dodge bullets or even fire your guns while diving.
While some may say that this has all been done before in Max
Payne, Enter the Matrix one-ups it by allowing
you to use your Focus to make hand-to-hand combat a blast.
In fact, the game rewards you for using Focus during hand-to-hand
rather than with your guns.
Of course, you might think that the Focus aspect of the game
would be a waste if the combat is weak. Fear not, because
Shiny Interactive has gone to great lengths to make the combat
feel just like something you'd see in the movies. Between
the kick, punch and action buttons, you can perform a lot
of stylish attacks. Throw in having access to a lot of weapons,
including picking up the guns dropped by enemies, and players
will have a lot of options when it comes to fighting their
way through each of the levels.
To break up the combat are a few vehicle levels where you
must get to one location while dodging the police. Depending
on who you use, you can either be the driver with Niobe or
gunman with Ghost. As Niobe, you can still have control of
Ghost, and make him fire on chasing cars. As Ghost, these
levels play like an on-rail shooter. Either way, the vehicle
portion is done well enough to be a nice break from the combat.
Near the end of the game, though, the game throws you some
levels where you pilot the Logos in the real world. These
levels are weak and feel rather tacked on than an integral
part of the action.
The visual package for Enter the Matrix is pretty
good. First are foremost are the large and highly detailed
levels that feature some fine texture work. In fact, the textures,
especially on the character models, along with the well-done
lighting, go a long way towards making the graphical package
work. One of the nicer touches is how most of the locations
in the matrix have that greenish hue to them, emulating the
way the movies are filmed. The character models themselves
are down decently, even though they do have a few rough edges,
namely some odd animations with the joints. The facial models
for the main characters are pretty dead on, most notably Niobe,
who looks just like Jada Pinkett Smith.
Audiowise, there has been a lot of effort to make the game
as close to the movies as possible. The soundtrack borrows
heavily from tunes from the Matrix and even throws
in a number of symphonic pieces to carry the drama of the
story. Even though some of the tracks get repeated a bit too
much, the soundtrack is pretty dead-on. Voice-acting is at
a premium, which is probably helped by a really topnotch script
and some really good actors behind the project.
One of the issues the game struggles with is that the in-game
camera is not always in the best spot. Since the game doesn't
allow you dual-stick control of your character like in Max
Payne or Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
the camera tends to stay behind the character. This in itself
is all right, but once you go into combat or are in tight
quarters, it can move around on you and make things a little
awkward. Aside from that, I had some issues with the pacing
of the game. While some levels had some good length, there
were others that felt like I was walking down one hall or
through a few rooms before the next checkpoint. And since
the game stops to load each new stage, this breaks up the
flow of the game some.
Enter the Matrix finds itself in a small crowd of
really good movie-themed games. As an action title without
the movie theme, Enter the Matrix is not as good as
some of the top notch games, largely because its short and
has next to no replay value. If you're a fan of the movies,
you should at least give this one a rent.

text: I am a new user of Panasonic's FZ20 and am loving the camera. However, I noticed yesterday while viewing photos on my TV that the pictures I took using the LCD were cropped, i.e. I was missing a part of the head of a subject while I knew I had shot the whole head. I then took two identical photos, one using the LCD and one with the EVF, and compared them. The photo using the EVF showed the entire subject while the LCD photo was cropped. Is this normal?

York, United Kingdom (PressExposure) May 21, 2009 -- In recent years, mobile communication has come into its own as an independent discipline all over the world. The broader spectrum of our demands forces has been shaping the mobile phones as in new direction with different dimension angles. Now, mobiles become the dearth of all good public relations that fully meet to their needs. So, these efforts have been trace the growth of new technology from practical point of view.
The real time has come to prove the actual awareness about the importance of mobile phones in our living standards. During the past decade, there are so many dedicated people who has step up with this profession, but one person has entered into it entirely. MR Mack Simpson. He said in his past conference about monthly phone deals [http://www.monthlyphonedeals.co.uk/] that these deals are bond free offers which only based on monthly payments at the end of assigned months. These plans are cost efficient which may control the monthly expenditure on your mobile phones. These are pre-planned designed with particular handsets.
These pay monthly deals are so simple with more convenient by getting a handset and do calls everywhere unlimited with no hassles of continuously refilling of credits at the time of emptiness. In it, you only submit the complete amount at the termination of clear-cut months. These plans are very specific about its time duration and beneficial in an emergency like as long- run ways.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Piraeus Bank, Greece's second-largest lender by assets, on Saturday reported a loss of 635 million euros (453 million pounds) in the first nine months of 2015 as provisions for bad loans continued to weigh on its bottom line.
The bank took credit-loss provisions of 2.12 billion euros in the January-to-September period, down from 3.19 billion euros in the same period last year.
Piraeus said non-performing loans reached 40.5 percent of its book at the end of the third quarter, up from 39.4 percent in the second quarter.
Results of the European Central Bank's health check released earlier on Saturday showed that Piraeus needs to cover a capital shortfall of 4.93 billion euros under the adverse scenario of its stress test.

Cute Treasury!
Thanks so much to designbirdie for featuring my ring in her treasury!
Hope y'all had a great weekend! After a less-than-stellar-week (whew, glad it's over) I'm happy to report that my weekend was pretty friggin' fantastic- fun Halloween parties, a rockin' Band of Horses show, and I received some samples from a new crafty collection I designed that will be on the market soon (promise to share more on that when I can, but let's just say that I'm SO SO SO excited about it...). It's Monday, it's a new week ahead, it's a new month ahead (November already?!), let's do this...

One of the best places to get your video, film, animation or multimedia work exhibited and known by distributors and the public is at a film or media festival. There are hundreds such events around the world each year that welcome, most often for an entry fee, new work by young media professionals. Your first efforts may not qualify for a Sundance or Cannes event. But there are many others such as the Chicago Underground Film Festival which might just be the ticket. Also check out local cafes, coffeehouses, and independent movie houses. They sometimes host monthly screenings. There is also the Internet where independent film and media producers are increasingly exhibiting their work.
Some people take their films on the road such as the award-winning "toxic comedy" Blue Vinyl recently shown at Churchill High School in Eugene. Check out Blue Vinyl (http://www.bluevinyl.org/ ) and see how the producers of this film are marketing their work known by hitting the road and showing it in festivals, conferences and events.
This week's discussion provides information about festival events, how to participate and what to expect as a result of your having a film or media project exhibited. First, some online articles that explore the strategies and issues of festival life.
Film Festival Strategies: So you've finished your short and want to show the world. What to do? A film maker's perspective about entering film festivals. Provides tips and links to important festival information sites.
Submitting Your Film to Festivals "Film festivals are a touchy subject. Many filmmakers make a film thinking all they have to do is submit their work to a major festival and soon they will be rich and famous. Well it just doesn't work that way. If you think you can make a low-budget film with no connections and no stars, submit it to Sundance and be accepted, you're wrong. Plain and simple, Sundance is an insiders game, and if you're not an insider you won't be invited to the party."
Is It Time For Festivals to Pay?" Independent filmmakers traveling on the festival circuit gain much from the experience. Aside from often receiving free travel, filmmakers make useful contacts, they learn important lessons about marketing and publicity and they get their film seen by paying audiences receiving vital feedback about their work. But the ultimate goal for a filmmaker taking their movie on the festival circuit is to close the all-important distribution deal. The disappointing truth is that most films playing at festivals become Òcine-orphans,Ó films left without distribution. For most, the festival tour ends with a wealth of valuable experiences, and an empty bank account." However, there may be a silver lining in the hopeless pursuit of distribution as the article explains..
Once you've decided that the festival route is for you, the question of how to locate a festival event appropriate for your particular production is asked.. There are many online resources to help you find an event appropriate for your work. Here is a brief list of festival directories and databases:
- The Directory of International Film and Video Festivals - Lists over 500 international film, television and video festivals, giving details on how and when to enter these events.
- Film Festival Information - Links for film festivals, organized by category.

text: The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum is a painting by van Gogh created in 1888. It is oil on canvas. This painting really speaks to me because it reminds me of my travels to Italy. Although this painting was from a cafe in France, I feel that it looks very similar to places that I have traveled to in Italy. The way that van Gogh painted the picture makes it seem like you are standing there on the side of the road looking down the alley at all that is going on. This was the first painting in which van Gogh used the starry night effect, which I think is amazing because it elludes to the beginning of one of his most famous paintings, Starry Night. I also think that it is interesting how if you go to this exact cafe now it is now called Cafe van Gogh in honor of the artist that depicted this quaint cafe. All in all I really enjoy this painting a lot.

SPFL: Norman Crighton joins Rangers board
Rangers have appointed Norman Crighton to their board as an independent non-executive director.
Last Updated: 14/11/13 8:41pm
The 47-year-old, who holds a BA (hons) in applied economics, will chair a new investment committee of the board whose terms of reference will include overseeing capital projects.
The appointment takes the number of members on the Ibrox board to four with Crighton teaming up with acting chairman David Somers, finance director Brian Stockbridge and director James Easdale.
In a statement on the club's website, Rangers said: "Mr Crighton has been involved in most aspects of investment banking during the course of his 23-year career, including corporate finance, research and market-making, leading to institutional investment management.
"Having begun his career in corporate finance and sales at Olliff and Partners in 1990, he moved to LCF Edmond de Rothschild in 1993 before spending five years as a Senior Vice President at Merrill Lynch from 1994 to 1999.
"He then joined Jefferies International Limited as a Director of Funds and Related Products from 1999 to 2006.
"After this, he was an investment manager at Metage Capital Limited with an emphasis on performance analysis, company structure and corporate governance, focussing on UK main board and AIM quoted companies.
"Since 2011, institutional shareholders have appointed Mr Crighton to the boards of several UK listed companies to help with complex restructurings.
"He is a non-executive director of Trading Emissions PLC, Global Fixed Income Realisation Limited and Private Equity Investor PLC. Mr Crighton is also the non-executive chairman of Weiss Korea Opportunity Fund Ltd, a new company quoted on AIM in May of this year.
"In accordance with Rangers' Articles of Association Mr Crighton will be subject to re-appointment by an ordinary resolution at the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company on Thursday 19 December 2013."

Tooth Blackner Presents
Braids, Current Swell
Commonwealth Bar & Stage
731 10th Ave SW
Calgary, AB, T2R 0B3
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 7:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
Braids, the Canadian experimental pop group who released
Native Speaker
in 2011,
have reinvented themselves in the making of their second full length. After 18 months
of touring in support of
their debut, along with the departure of a band member, the
group secluded themselves in their Montreal studio for a year of writing and recording.
Native Speaker
was written in an organic and live environment, the group sought
to explore a more introspective and electronic approach to songwriting. Sonically, the
from these sessions
are delicate and tight, yet
open up to the rich
lushness reminiscent of their older material. Lyrically they are honest and vulnerable,
demonstrating the group's emotional growth and maturity since their last record.
As they head out in anticipation of their sophomore album – due Fall 2013 – their new
songs will be played, fully live, in an exciting time in music as the gap between real and
synthetic narrows, leaving room only for the pure energy driving the performance.
Victoria, B.C.'s Current Swell are set to release their new album, Ulysses, on May 6, 2014. The 12-tracks on Ulysses perfectly deliver the band's textured, deep-groove sound while capturing the energy of their live show, which has earned them scores of fans across The Americas, Australia and Europe. The band will debut many of these new songs next month in Austin during SXSW (showcases tba).
Ulysses was produced by Nathan Sabatino (Dr. Dog, Neko Case, Giant Stand) at Vancouver's iconic Greenhouse Studios. The album captures every bit of warmth the studio's massive Neve console could provide, as heard on "Rollin'" (a showcase for Stanton's exemplary slide work), the title track "Ulysses," rocker "Keys to the Kingdom" and the readymade sing-along "One Day I'll Be Rich."
While Current Swell spent the better part of six months recording their previous album (and Nettwerk debut), 2012's Long Time Ago, the four band members entered the studio with a clear goal and knocked Ulysses out in 20 days.
"We got in the studio, put our heads down, got it down and we were out," vocalist/guitarist Scott Stanton says with a laugh. "It was so refreshing. We didn't overthink anything. As long as we could re-create it live, that was our only rule."
Current Swell is Scott Stanton (vocals/guitar), David Lang (vocals/guitar), Ghosty Boy (bass) and Chris Petersen (drums). From appearances at key festivals from Australia to Canada (Byron Bay Bluesfest, Peats Ridge, Rock The Shores, Ottawa Blues Festival and more), to sold-out headline tours of Brazil, to support slots with such established artists as Dispatch, Xavier Rudd, K'Naan, The Tragically Hip and even The Beach Boys, Current Swell's infectious sound and raucous live shows have earned the quartet scores of devoted fans around the word. In 2012, Current Swell earned first place at Vancouver's Peak Performance Project and headlined a Canada Day concert to a crowd of 45,000.

Our Commitment to protecting the Environment
At 250 City Road we are committed to protecting the environment when we design, procure and construct our developments. That is why we have developed a strategy call Our Vision which sets out goals to be a world-class business by creating successful sustainable places. We have a number of commitments to ensure we are delivering environmental sustainability and on a construction site level are committed to:
· Reducing Carbon emissions and water consumption from our sites.
· Re-using or recycling at least 90% of construction, demolition and excavation waste.
· Harvesting rainwater for re-use on all developments and incorporating living roofs on all suitable apartment roof spaces.
· Providing information on sustainability to our customers (those being the people that live in the surrounding area we are developing).
· Contributing to the surrounding area by providing apprenticeship opportunities to young people and promoting other employment opportunities to people in the borough of Islington.
On our site we are reducing the impact we have on the environment and improving safety in a number of ways:
Our FORS Commitment
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is an industry-led accreditation scheme that aims to promote road freights as a safe and sustainable mode of transportation in a way that supports economic growth and environmental targets whilst helping to improve our quality of life.
At our development we are committed to ensuring our contractors suppliers are a minimum of Silver level accredited. What this means is that we have ensured our contractors are committed to improving road safety and reducing fuel emissions.
Carbon Offsetting Initiatives
A key focus of ours at 250 City Road is to reduce our carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle of the development. One of the ways in which we have done this is by installing Low Energy Lighting in and around our site which produce 48% less carbon than traditional bulbs. Currently we are recycling 99.9% of all waste from our site. Some of this waste goes to a material recycling facility and material from the bulk excavation work has gone towards a beneficial landfill operation. Once the development is complete we will have provided 1483 new cycle spaces and 24 new TFL bike docking stations in a bid to promote sustainable transport around the borough.
Materials and Supply-Chain
We aim to engage with our supply-chain to ensure the materials and services we use are responsibly sourced. All of the timber that will be used on site is FSC or PEFC certif

Are you running your business in silence? Behind closed doors? Curtains drawn?
What I mean is – Are you the only point of contact where a potential client can go to truly understand your work? If so, that's a big no-no. Because that means if you aren't working it, no one and nothing else is either! So, you always have to be ON. But that's not why you became an entrepreneur, you wanted freedom. Right? That's why you should put a few elements into play that work as hard as you do – without you even having to be there…
You're more than "WHAT" you do
You might have a website site, but the content mutes your vision. It only scratches the surface of what you're all about. You know your vision goes deeper, yet you run your business as if it's okay to keep it quiet (HINT: IT'S NOT OKAY!).
I want you to take a second and think of the last few experts you hired or courses you bought… How many of them did you buy immediately? Zero to a few. How many of them did you spend time following online before you took an action? Until you felt a strong connection to them and their offering, I'm sure.
Now, how do you expect people to hire you if the core meaning of what you do is a secret? (HINT: THEY WON'T)
The Entrepreneur's Journey is a Hero's Journey
By definition, entrepreneurs put themselves through lot. For us, it's more about the experience than anything else. To be able to say – NO – to just be able to know that we set out for our dreams turns our blood into liquid gold.
I'm sure you've fought through obstacles, doubts, and the ever-present, always shifting naysayer who pops up.
But you understand. You understand your passion and your journey. And why you need to see it through.
But there's a disconnect, isn't there?
The passion in your heart is strong, but translating that passion can sometimes be tricky.
But it shouldn't be. You have a love so great for what you do, but maybe you can't put it into words. And that's a HUGE problem. Your website can be a 24/7 sales rep either working for you or against you. How's anyone supposed to begin to understand the power of YOU doing YOUR work if you don't know how to get the message out there in a clear, concise way?
Trick question. No one's going to understand.
Because when people don't understand something, they dismiss it and eventually forget it. And no, they don't dig deeper to really discover you and take the time to figure you out like you think they will. Because they have dinner to make, a good friend to catch up with, or even that Youtube video of dogs who are afraid of the house cat.
That's why you need to make that passion center stage in all of the messaging that you do. That means, clear language in conversation, speeches, videos, and of course – my expertise – the written word. Each realm of communication has its own approach. But there's one thing that can work throughout that will really move and inspire people. It's your story.
Your Personal Story Can Game-Change Your Biz in TWO Major Ways
There's power in your personal story and getting clear on it means understanding the driving forces in your life. I'm not talking just people, but beliefs. There's a really great quote from Simon Sinek that goes like this:
"People don't buy what you do, they buy WHY you do it." – Simon Sinek, Author of Start With Why
People are attracted to people who believe what they believe. Which brings me to my first point: When you're able to clearly express yourself, people can truly (and finally) listen. That means they have a chance to connect to you, instead of dismissing you. They'll connect to your WHY. Then guess what happens? The people who resonate with your message get curious about you and give you a chance to earn their trust. That begins a powerful journey that can led to sales for you and a dramatic positive change in their life with your work.
But what's even more powerful is what I personally experienced when I first got clear and what I continue to experience as I gain more clarity. And that leads me to the second point to why your personal story can be a HUGE game-changer in your business: Clarity leads to confidence.
I personally believe that clarity is the first step to a breakthrough of any kind. It's not magic, it's just the way the world works. The more clarity you have around something, the closer you get to it.
When you're clear about your message, you become confident. And a confident entrepreneur is hard to stop.
If you choose to work on your message, you attract the people who will get you and YOU will have a bulletproof confidence in the real power of your work. I see a lot of entrepreneurs who are NOT clear and consequently are NOT confident in their work. They are embarrassed to step up and don't offer services when they know they can help, they're afraid to ask for the sale, and they're afraid to own their genius because they might offend somebody. Ultimately, they think their work isn't as important as it truly can be.
And that's what kills business.
But when you're confident, your KNOW your value. You aren't afraid to offer your solutions, not afraid to ask for the sale, and definitely not afraid of offending anyone. You become an unstoppable force of momentum in your business.
So, do you plan on continuing to silently kill your business.
Or are you ready to wield your story and speak your truth?
The choice is up to you.

Star and Scribe, Chapter Seven
Barb was waiting for Ozzy in the kitchen. The bodyguard was dressed in his best black suit, although he had swapped the black t-shirt he usually wore underneath his coat for a neatly pressed black shirt and a black silk tie. He was carrying a shoebox full of hundreds of tiny microphones, each one identical to the microscopic transmitter Barb had discovered stuck to the painting in the front hall.
He set down the box of transmitters, all of which had been carefully pulled to pieces. The transmitters and chips were still intact but no longer joined together, making them harmless. After two and a half hours of searching, he'd found more than seven hundred. Barb was standing expectantly by the kitchen table.
You search, I destroy, Ozzy joked, grinning grimly. He scanned the empty table. Where are yours?
Barb indicated a sealed metal box on the counter top. It's aluminum, she informed him. There are no signals getting out of there. Even if they could, the feedback from 836 microphones crammed together would be tons of fun to deal with.
I scanned for them using every frequency. My second sweep came back negative, Ozzy informed her. But I keep getting scared I missed some. I sent you a the file detailing the location of where I found each one.
I got it, thanks, Barb replied. It concerns me more that we didn't detect these before. Who knows how long they've been here?
They must be using a frequency that doesn't show up on our standard security sweeps.
Barb frowned. I'll spend tonight rechecking every inch of the property. The grounds and guest house are likely to be infested with bugs. Keep an eye out in the car, and try to keep them from arguing. She glanced upward at the ceiling. All was quiet upstairs. With some luck Jane and Edmund would be off to the Awards without any screenworthy drama.
Ozzy paused for a moment, mulling over the problem. He focused on the most important question. What do you think they will do, he questioned her, When they figure out that we know about the breach?
Barb had no response. They stood in silence, each trying to work out the questions and the answers. Fang trotted in, circled Ozzy's feet and whimpered for attention. Both of the figures in the kitchen ignored him, standing eerily still in the semidarkness. The dog sullenly left the room when it became clear to him that dog treats weren't a possibility. Ozzy suddenly turned his head as he heard Jane and Edmund coming downstairs. Barb's gaze focused, and she took the shoebox from Ozzy.
Time to go, Ozzy indicated to Barb, who nodded.
Be careful, she warned, drumming her fingers absentmindedly on the side of the shoebox. I don't know if the evac plan we put together last week will still get the job done. Things have changed.
Ozzy turned to leave, but paused in the doorway. Should let them know?
Not yet, Barb replied hesitantly. Just watch over them tonight, and keep in touch. Anything could be a trap from now on.
Ozzy nodded, turned, and was gone.

I remember when I was a kid, when my friends would let me write in their slum book or autograph. Yes, that little book, some have flowers, and others were plain simple. It had different sizes and styles. That controversial little book where the things you write may probably be used against you the moment you spill your secrets. I remember the second page, usually the "Heart to Heart" section. There's a line that asks, "What do you want to achieve in your life?" or something of that sort. And I remember my little self writing "To touch everybody's lives at least before I die." I was so juvenile.
But looking back, I think that was a bit mature for my age. I was, what? Around 8-10 when I wrote that. Now that I am 19, I realized that the chances of that possiblity, to touch everybody's lives, is little. And so I changed my outlook in life. Someday, at one moment or a couple of times, I want to change lives. It doesn't matter if I could only count them with the fingers on my hands, or if it's only a dozen, as long as I did. What kind of change? I don't know, maybe I just want people to change the way they see life or love. I want to turn their negativity into positivity, or maybe help heal a few broken hearts. I want to tell them how God loves them, and how much bliss they can feel the moment they surrender their lives to Him.
I don't know how I could possibly change the way they see at least a few things in life. Maybe through the songs I write, or the poems I make, or through this blog or even the book I might possibly write in the future. Maybe if I do unknowingly, it will feel greater. Or maybe if I may be able to change a few lives without even knowing them personally. But that doesn't make an difference. All I know is I want to.
I will keep in mind my most loved quote in Happy Feet 2,
"If you want it, you must will it. If you will it, it will be yours."

Three things to learn from this video:
1) Guns always end up in the hands of people who don't know how to use them. This fact is as reliable as gravity.
2) If you're going to use a videocamera, learn how to operate it first.
3) When you're naming your YouTube videos, watch out for superfluous apostrophes. Seriously, there oughta be a law.

Lila Perl was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1921. She received a B. A. from Brooklyn College and pursued additional studies at both Columbia University and New York University. She started writing children's books when her two children were in elementary school. During her lifetime, she wrote more than 60 works of fiction and nonfiction. Her works include the Fat Glenda series, Isabel's War, Lilli's Quest, The Great Ancestor Hunt: The Fun of Finding Out Who You Are, To the Golden Mountain: The Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad, and Behind Barbed Wire: The Story of Japanese Internment During World War II. In 1996, she co-authored the memoir Four Perfect Pebbles: A Holocaust Story with Marion Bluementhal Lazan. She died in December 2013 at the age of 92.
In Her Own Words..."At the age of thirteen, upon being placed in fourth grade with boys and girls four years younger than me, I was introduced to the English language for the first time. The German, Dutch, and Hebrew I had learned during my tumultuous "childhood" in Nazi Europe were not of much value at that time. It was not uncommon for me to sit through several showings of great screen classics, including The Best Years of Our Lives . These movies, along with radio, helped me to master the new language. How I found time to attend any movie is still a mystery to me, for I had worked after school ever since our family had reached Peoria, Illinois in 1948."By age sixteen both my English and my looks had improved considerably, and this combination somehow inspired a young college sophomore to ask to walk me home at the conclusion of Yom Kippur services on October 10, 1951. At that time I was a sophomore at Peoria Central High School."That summer Nathaniel--that "young college sophomore"--returned home to New York for vacation and work. We wrote to each other every day, but Nathaniel didn't make it easy for me. To improve my English he included in each letter ten words for me to look up in the dictionary and then use in a sentence. Not only did I comply with his request (how foolish I felt years later), but I wrote each of my letters to him on scrap paper, and only when I was satisfied with the contents would I pen it in my best possible handwriting."I graduated from high school in 1953, having managed to complete my studies in only two years (with summer courses), and ranked eighth in a graduating class of 265 students. Shortly after graduation Nathaniel and I were married, somewhat to the chagrin of my mother and his parents. I was eighteen years old."Upon graduating from college, Nathaniel entered U.S. Air Force pilot training, giving me the opportunity to see more of our beautiful United States. Our son David was born in Winter Haven, Florida; daughter, Susan, in Waco, Texas; and son Michael in New York City. Now all three children are married and have given Nathaniel and me seven grandchildren."I've been speaking about my Holocaust experiences since 1979, but after Four Perfect Pebbles was published, the number of speaking engagements greatly increased." The Diary of Anne Frank has always fascinated me. I read it in the original Dutch on my family's voyage to America in 1948 aboard the Holland-American liner Veendom . Actually, my story picks up where, tragically, Anne Frank's ended-in the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen in Germany. She wrote about hiding and suffering. With God's help, I was able to write about surviving and living a full, wholesome, and happy new life."I am thrilled that Four Perfect Pebbles has garnered such wonderful reviews and awards. Of course, most of the credit should be directed toward Lila Perl , my talented co-author. But the sweetest recognition was the Sydney Taylor "Best of the Bunch" citation, presented by the Association of Jewish Libraries. Thirty years ago, when I was an elementary-school PTA program vice-president, a Book-and-Author luncheon was held in our home, and the distinguished guest was none other than Sydney Taylor, the author of the outstanding books about the "All-of-a-Kind Family."

"The caterpillar does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity." ― George Carlin
In May 2016, Master Gardeners Pat Brown and Annette Leach, along with England Run Branch staff members, prepared soil and planted a butterfly garden.

The nectar plants feed adult butterflies, and, just as important, the host plants support the caterpillars that will turn into butterflies. Stop by, and take a look!

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
--Isaac Watts, Against Idleness and Mischief
Do you like honey on your toast? Thank a bee! Actually thank about 100,000 bees. That's how many can live in one hive! "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you…" (It would take you about 27 hours of non-stop thanking to thank each bee in one hive.) Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and carrying it back to their hive. They put it in a little wax cell. Then bees fan their wings over the nectar to help the water evaporate from it. When most of the water has evaporated, what's left is honey. They cover the cell with wax to save the honey for later. When a beekeeper's hive has more honey than the bees need to eat, the beekeeper harvests it.
If you've never managed to make it all the way through this "great American classic," NOW is the time to give it one more go! Wait, don't click away! Hear me out! I've tried at least three times in the past to read Moby Dick & always get bogged down after a few chapters. All that whaling! All that boiling down of blubber! And, what is Ahab's problem anyway?! So I've never "gotten" Moby Dick & never finished the book. I always abandon the Pequod, Ishmael, Ahab, & the gang and leave them floating in the middle of the ocean somewhere.
But NOT this time! You may have heard recently that writer, Philip Hoare, is leading a "big read" of Moby Dick, or, in this case, more like a "big listen." He's offering a chapter per day in free downloadable audio. There's a different reader and a different artist's illustration for each chapter. I know about this because I have been reading, not a chapter per day, but a PAGE per day, of Moby Dick since August 9th , 2012, and writing a blog about it. So, several people who've been following my blog have told me about the big read project. "This guy stole your idea!" they say indignantly.

The only Boulez work that Boulez himself will conduct with the Chicago Symphony for his month-long eighty-fifth birthday celebration is his short "Livre pour cordes," his 1969 orchestration of a string quartet ("Livre pour quatuor") from 1948-1949, which will open this last Boulez CSO program before the celebration transfers to the University of Michigan and to Carnegie Hall in New York next week (Boulez was there last week as well, leading the Vienna Philharmonic with former CSO music director Daniel Barenboim at the piano).
But the real curiosity of this program is Boulez' first-ever performances of the Bartók Concerto for Two Pianos and Percussion, an orchestrated version of the Hungarian composer's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion that Bartók made at the suggestion of his music publisher for orchestras to perform and to have the composer and his wife appear as the soloists during Bartók's last, lean years in exile in the United States. Boulez had never done the piece before, but being such an admirer of the music of Bartók, the piece made his birthday "wish list." French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard and his protégé Tamara Stefanovich will be the soloists and the CSO percussion section will also take the spotlight.
The mainstay of this program will be a complete performance of Stravinsky's "Firebird" ballet, the first work to garner the Russian master an international reputation and usually heard only in its "Suite" form apart from actually being danced. (Chicagoan Maria Tallchief, who danced the work with her onetime husband choreographer George Balanchine, is often considered the definitive lead in the work.) It was Boulez who made popular the practice of performing the entire score in the concert hall, and no one plays it better than the Chicago Symphony, whom Stravinsky himself conducted in the 1960s and referred to it as his "favorite" orchestra. Boulez recorded the complete "Firebird" with the CSO in a Grammy Award-winning performance that is still the best recording of the work available—besting even Stravinsky's own—and has also has used it as a showpiece with the CSO on tour. (Dennis Polkow)
January 21, 8pm, January 22, 1:30pm, January 23, 8pm, at Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan, (312)294-3000.
