Vino from Veneto...Valpolicella Ripasso rewards the palate with bright blackberry fruit, notes of vanilla and black liquorice... Delicious! Valpolicella is a wine that comes from the region of Veneto, located in the north-east of Italy, home of the "big gun" Amarone and of Romeo and Juliet! When a Valpolicella is classified as a Classico and done in the ripasso method, the wine reaches new heights in flavour, texture, body and aromatics! The designation of "classico" requires the grapes to come from the original Valpolicella production zone which was later adjusted in 1968. The great majority of grapes used are the same as for Amarone, the corvina, molinara and rondinella varietals although small percentages of a few others are permitted.
The methodology of "ripasso" greatly concentrates the bouquet, flavours and texture. How? "Ripasso" literally means "re-passed". After the fermentation process when producing an Amarone, the unpressed skins of the dried grapes are then used for the production of Valpolicella. These dried grape skins add body, character, complexity and a boost of alcohol strength.
Our Negrar Ripasso Valpolicella Classico is dark ruby red in colour, is seductive in the nose with lush blackberry and black liquorice notes and a hint of mint. Full bodied with a touh of vanilla the texture is rich and with a good finish.
Negrar is a cooperative winery founded in 1933 and located in the Classico area of Valpolicella. With 210 farmers/partners producing typical grapes for Vapolicella on a surface of 530 hectars, they are one of the major producers of Amarone, Valpolicella and Ripasso wines.

Bring on the Barbera…the most widey planted grape in Italy's prime wine growing region of Piedmont, this Barbera delivers black fruit and plum, hints of black pepper, notes of vanilla bean and sweet soft tannins! Balanced with fine acidity, a superb wine to enjoy with food. We wonder what Chef Massimo will create as a partner? Fresh cured Italian meats perhaps, or his specialty wild boar raviolis? Hmm hmm… be sure to join us to enjoy!
Say Argentina today in the world of wine and several key words automatically come to mind.... Malbec, Malbec, Malbec... and that's just the beginning! Although the Malbec grape is to Argentina as Shiraz is to Australia, Zinfandel to California and icewine to Canada, the 5th largest wine producer in the world is commanding a great deal of attention for a variety of her wines.
The last ten to fifteen years has been a time of incredible growth and evolution for the wines of Argentina, in which the winemaking tradition of 500 years and the adoption of new technologies and know-how have been blended. Add to this the many aspects of Argentina's unique environment; pure water snowmelt from the Andes for irrigation, high elevation vineyards, dry climate lending ease to natural and/or organic production, a land of contrasts offering great diversity of terroir and wines, and the deeply rooted wine culture, is there any wonder why so many are saying Yes or Salud to Argentine wine?
On our recent visit to Argentina, we had the opportunity to visit a number of spectacular wineries located in the two largest wine regions; Mendoza responsible for approximately 70% of the country's production and San Juan, approximately an hour to the north of Mendoza City.
We'd like to introduce you to a winery in San Juan "on the radar" as one of the best wineries in the region which is owned by Bodegas Salentein located in Mendoza. Salentein is a spectacular winery which we had the occasion to visit prior to arriving in San Juan (details on that portion of our trip is on a separate article). We are excited to share this other important region and key winery with the help of our "supreme" guide Customer Relations Manager for both, Maria Lorena Cepparo.
Our first stop in San Juan is Bodegas Callia, an incredibly impressive winery situated in the Tulum Valley nestled between the Pie de Palo hills to the north and the Zonda Valley to the south. Among the four valleys in San Juan, the Tulum Valley is the most significant and has its vineyards planted, on average 650 metres above sea-level. We are to soon learn, the significance of altitude, of terroir and of climate through our conversation in the vineyard with the very charming and passionate Vineyard Manager Gustavo Matocq. But first, we are greeted once again by Maria Lorena Cepparo, her passion and extensive knowledge of wine, of the region and for Callia is contagious. We shortly discover that we cannot stump Lorena, she is a veritable walking encyclopedia with great personality!
Lorena will be our guide for the day, "we will start in the vineyard where you will meet Gustavo, our vineyard manager" she says, "and then from there we will have a tour, a tasting and a little lunch". Are we ready? Absolutely!
Georgia inspects the stainless steel tanks with Ariel Cavalier, Winemaker Bodegas Callia and Maria Lorena Cepparo, Customers Relations Salentein Family of Wines.
As we walk around the property Lorena explains that the philosophy of Bodegas Callia is to live in harmony with the Valley of Tulum landscape. "You'll notice that the bodges is painted the colour of sand and melds with the dunes typcial of the region" she tells us " every detail including the native vegetation that surrounds the winery was treated in such a way to respect and preserve the natural local landscape". The winery itself is a marvel, home to 8000 square metres of tanks with a capacity of 9,000,000 litres, outfitted with stainless steel tanks and modern pneumatic presses this gigantim winery is a force to reckon with, particularly for the consistent terrific tasting and quality ratio wines it produces. Very impressive!Read more: Bodegas Callia, San Juan, Argentina

We are mad alright, about the amazing Malbecs we enjoyed on our recent visit to Mendoza, Argentina. A grape that was once popular in Bordeaux as one of the 5 permitted players in traditional Bordeaux blends, say Malbec today and the automatic response is "the grape of Argentina" and with good reason!
The Malbec grape is to Argentina as Shiraz is to Australia, Zinfandel to California, Pinotage to South Africa and more recently Carmenere to Chile... it has found its niche, putting this grape on the world wine map, producing amazing wines, with descriptives the likes of "floral, violets, licorice, spicy, deep red and black fruit, chocolate or coffee... and most distinctively the sweet, soft, silky, mouthfilling tannins!
Such an impact has been made with this varietal in its modern domaine that an annual tribute "Malbec World Day" will be celebrating its 3rd anniversary April 17th, 2013. The 43 countries which participated in 2012 will surely be surpassed this year! Watch for events happening in close to 100 cities, including our very own Toronto!
Although with a rich history and deep roots, Malbec was first planted in Argentina as far back as 1852 brought over by French agronomist Michel Pouget, it is only in the last couple of decades that it has begun to take centre stage, and be so deservedly appreciated around the world of wine.
While in Argentina we experienced the magic of Malbec first hand, while even more magically against the constant backdrop of the absolutely breathtaking Andes, the largest mountain range in the world, the lifeline for the Malbec vineyards and others, providing them the drink to survive and thrive.
The Andes, Cordon del Plata peak makes a stunning backdrop for the Fabre Montmayou vineyards.
Our itinerary included visiting the two primary wine producing provinces in the country; Mendoza, responsible for 80% of all wines produced and second in production San Juan, a little further north, with differing soils and climate producing wines of its unique personality.
First stop was in Vistalba located in the "departement" of Lujan du Cuyo, in Mendoza, at a boutique winery called Fabre Montmayou. Geographically, think of Argentina as a big set with multiple subsets. Argentina, divides into fourteen provinces, with Mendoza being the king-pin of wine production, within Mendoza there are "departments" which include Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, which we later visit, with each expressing differing characteristics, and within the department of Lujan de Cuyo is Vistalba, the home of Fabre Montmayou.
Georgia inspects the Malbec with winemaker, owner, director Hervé Joyaux Fabre of Fabre Montmayou.
We speak of roots, and here at Fabre Montmayou on 15 hectares, they run deep, with the Malbec vines dating back to 1908 brought over by the first immigrants to come to Argentina. The roots, or ancestry of founder Herve Joyaux Fabre come from Bordeaux, with generations involved with the vine. In 1992 on a visit, Herve was seduced by the potential of the magnificent malbec grape in Mendoza and there was no turning back! Fabre Montmayou was born.Read more: Mad about Malbec.

The BIO-TIC project has organised this workshop with the aim to identify technological, non-technological and market hurdles for the uptake of industrial biotechnology in bio-surfactants and develop recommendations and solutions to overcome the identified hurdles. Input from market, policy and technological experts is crucial to help us develop recommendations which best answer the needs of industry and further build on the roadmaps being developed as part of this project.
Biobased surfactants can be produced either from oils and fats via oleochemical production or from sugars, e.g. molasses by fermentation. Biobased surfactants can be used for a wide range of applications, the largest of which are currently detergents, followed by personal care products and industrial and institutional cleaners. The BIO-TIC project estimates that in 2030 the biobased surfactants market in Europe could have a market value of between 0.8 MEUR and 1.8 BEUR. The market value could be greater than this if the various hurdles to biosurfactants are addressed.

Knowledge Exchange: Network Building
Loose Ties + Strong Trust = Innovation in Los Angeles
In 2008, Lisa Watson was the executive director of the Downtown Women's Center (DWC), an organization dedicated to meeting the needs of women on Los Angeles' Skid Row hoping to overcome poverty and homelessness. That year, Lisa received a Stanton Fellowship to investigate the viability of a co-located social enterprise retail store that would offer workforce training to homeless women and generate revenues for the center. Revenues would be used to subsidize housing and supportive services in the pricey Los Angeles real estate market.
For the past ten years the Durfee Foundation has awarded a select number of Stanton Fellowships to social change leaders in Los Angeles with the aim of fostering innovative solutions to some of the city's most intractable problems. Lisa's project became a reality in 2011 with the opening of MADE by DWC, a gift boutique and café that offers organic coffee and food along with one-of-a-kind vintage and contemporary women's clothing, accessories, household accents, and their signature handMADE product line. One hundred percent of the proceeds support the residents of the Downtown Women's Center, providing the kind of earned revenue that is a vital component of long-term sustainability for most nonprofits.
Cross-Disciplinary Connections
Prior to the fellowship, Lisa had met a handful of other Stanton alumni, all in the housing/homelessness space. Over the course of her fellowship, however, she expanded her connections to include Stanton fellows with expertise in urban planning, health, education, the environment, and economic development, as well as contacts in the L.A. Mayor's Office. The interactions with other fellows significantly affected her project's design as well as its resulting success. "By bringing together smart people from various disciplines in Los Angeles," she notes, "problems can be viewed through various prisms rather than through a telescope. Solutions and strategies are developed by looking more richly at the problem from various perspectives and disciplines."
The Stanton Fellowship provides funds over two years for each fellow to think deeply about a specific challenge related to their work and to tease out solutions that will improve life in Los Angeles. The Durfee Foundation deliberately encourages connecting and knowledge sharing among fellows as a way to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas that might lead to new approaches. Stanton Fellows are intentionally selected to represent a wide-ranging spectrum of issues and sectors, with fellows coming from government and social enterprise as well as nonprofits. Key elements of the program include opening and concluding fellowship retreats that overlap with the next/prior cohort of fellows; quarterly get-togethers hosted by a fellow who provides a tour of the issue they are tackling and includes time for fellows to update the group on their projects; and foundation staff matching fellows with program alumni mentors. In addition, every other year the foundation hosts a retreat to which all alumni of the program as well as current fellows are invited.
Enhanced Peripheral Vision
In order to better understand the network dimension of the program, the Durfee Foundation asked Network Impact to assess the role that ties among Stanton Fellows play in contributing to the program's goals. To that end, in the fall of 2014 we surveyed current fellows and alumni, and supplemented that work with focus-group interviews and Social Network analysis (SNA) to assess the nature of the connections among fellows over time. What we found has implications for funders who are supporting innovation in the social sector, particularly investors in fellowship or leadership development programs who are curious about the wider impact of these initiatives.
The Strength of Loose Ties
"I can ask any Stanton person for their support, and I have done so. Some I only see once a year and that's fine….I know who to call if I need something."
It is not uncommon for fellowship programs to cultivate close, trusting relationships among participants as a way to promote more alignment and coordination among participants. For example, bonds that have been deliberately fostered among community leaders who participate in the Barr Fellows Program in Boston have led to increased collaboration among leading nonprofit organizations in that city. In contrast, a social network analysis of the ties among Stanton fellows reveals a different pattern. In the Stanton case, loose ties among fellows resulting in an exchange of "information that leads to new thinking or framing" are more common (see the maps below). Our mapping also shows that participation in the program increases each fellow's reach, creating pathways to advice and information from a variety of nonprofit leaders. The majority of connections among fellows are not regular, close, or personal. Instead, the overall effect is one of improved "peripheral vision." With a view to engaging in transformational activity beyond their own "silos," nonprofit leaders working on different issues can adopt lessons from other settings and better align their plans of action. Our observations offer a different take on the Strength of Weak Ties thesis put forward by Marc Granovetter. Moreover, research on networks suggests that high levels of trust in networks typically coincide with strong, often personal, bonds among members. In the Stanton network, fellows tend to seek advice from peers as trusted sources, not on the basis of strong personal ties.
Below are maps of connections that "provided information that led to new thinking or framing that has been useful in my work" before the Stanton Fellowship, and after. This type of connection saw a 308 percent increase compared to the intensity of connections before the start of the fellowship period.
A Culture of Trust
"I feel free to pick up the phone and call anybody who was a Stanton Fellow, because it's sort of a common culture that we all share, and it's a very different level of trust and access…."
Like other social changemakers, one of the things that Stanton fellows value most highly is their access to trusted information from peers. As in most networks, trust lowers transaction costs for peer exchange; in the case of the Stanton fellowship, this network "glue" is the product of a shared set of understandings that the Durfee Foundation fosters between itself and Stanton fellows and among the fellows themselves. As one fellow explained: "We refer to it as a 'fellowship', and that is a particularly relevant word for this experience. I think we all feel very strongly that this is a community that matters deeply and has added immensely to our lives, personally and professionally….Stanton calls are always taken and returned, and there is a warmth and common bond that immediately eases whatever else is happening in the day."
Reflecting on how this culture of trust has been created and maintained, fellows repeatedly cited the efforts of Durfee Foundation staff to encourage them to take risks. One alumnus of the program explained, "They have created this culture that is incredibly healthy and vibrant and encouraging….They invite you to push the envelope and are not fearful of what other foundations might perceive as failure, which is a healthy environment in which to experiment."
Equally important is fellows' confidence in the foundation's capacity to select candidates whose motivations are aligned with theirs: the desire to transform conditions in Los Angeles for the better and to help the most vulnerable in the city. As one fellow observed, "The staff set the standard for how much we all connect. That's part of the leadership everyone trusts so much." Another reflected: "I think my comfort harks back to the rigor and savvy with which the selection takes place. It does say something to me about who is in that group of people, that I can trust them, at least enough to reach out to them." In other words, the mere fact of being selected as a fellow inspires confidence and trust.
Reflecting on her time as a Stanton Fellow, Lisa describes her experience of getting beyond traditional silos in an environment of loose ties but strong trust. "The whole idea of trying to change a city we all care about is a real connector point. It taught me to love L.A. more, and I now feel more a part of it. I was exposed to all these different things that were totally out of my world and experience. As a result, I am involved and engaged in the city in new ways, with different people than I would have been before I was selected to be a fellow."
Lisa's project evolved based on her fertile exchanges with other Stanton Fellows and has continued to grow, with more than fifty of the women involved in the training now gainfully employed, and MADE by DWC products now being sold online and in stores in Los Angeles, providing much-needed funds to advance the full spectrum of DWC programs. Our hope is that others looking to nurture innovative social change efforts will look at how their current activities to connect diverse leaders present opportunities to increase the visibility of their grantees' efforts and will begin to track the value created through those network connections.
Connecting to Change the World
Connecting to Change the World builds on an earlier resource that Pete and I developed called Net Gains. This latest collaboration with John Cleveland includes examples and lessons that have emerged from our work with social impact networks over the last decade or so. During that time, we've been introduced to many new networks and deepened our work with others. As a consequence, we have a better understanding of what makes some networks highly "generative." By generative, we mean networks with a renewable collaborative capacity to generate numerous activities simultaneously. These are networks that activate members' connections on an emergent basis as need and opportunities arise.
Examples in the book include RE AMP – more than 165 nonprofit organizations and foundations in eight Midwestern states working together on climate change and energy policies, Reboot- a network of young Jewish American "cultural creatives" who are exploring and redefining Jewish identity and community in the U.S. and the U.K., ten regional networks of state agencies and nonprofit providers that have organized to end homelessness in Massachusetts, and five regional and two national networks of rural-based organizations that are promoting public policies that benefit rural communities in the U.S. In all of these networks, members have been very deliberate about creating, strengthening and maintaining network ties in order to establish a base of connections from which many activities can arise at the same time or over time. This foundation is the starting point for the progression from connecting to aligning to production or joint action that we also discuss in the book.

Network Building: It's All About the Value Propositions
But what a network's members care about can be complicated. Just ask the Urban Sustainability Directors Network.
Knowing what network members want from each other and want to give to each other, and delivering on these "value propositions" makes or breaks a network. "If there's no value," says Bill Traynor, one of our favorite network builders, "people will start to exit. It's a self-regulating system." That's pretty straightforward, but actually understanding and monitoring the members' value propositions (VPs) is quite complicated. A member may embrace more than one proposition; different members may embrace different propositions; and what members care about may change over time. Given this complexity and dynamism, it's worthwhile to check in on a network's value propositions fairly regularly, not just when starting up the network.
One network we work with–the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN), with about 70 members, each in a different city in the U.S. and Canada–conducted a value proposition check earlier this year. It asked members about nine distinct value propositions (VPs) that had been previously identified by members during their annual meeting. First members were asked to select and rank their three most important value propositions for continuing participation in the network. Then they were asked to score how well the network had been doing in the past year on delivering on their top-priority value propositions.
The results were illuminating and significantly influenced the network's strategy for the next year.
• Of the nine VPs, 2 collected most of the #1 priority votes: "Getting to know many colleagues with similar jobs and with whom I can share" and "Having access to trusted information about issues and models." As the summary of findings reported: It's all about connecting to peers and quality information. Period. Nothing is in 3rdplace even. And this result was consistent with what the members had said a year earlier–a good sign that the network was on the right track.
• When it came to those two top value propositions, majorities of the members reported that the network was "delivering very well for me." But nearly a third of members said the network's delivery "could be improved"–and that triggered alarm bells that led network organizers to focus on improving and increasing specific network activities.
• Looking at several of the lower priority value propositions, it was noticeable that sizeable minorities of the membership reported they saw opportunities for participation but were not using them. That finding also prompted a refocus on members who had not become very active in the variety of network activities. They were contacted to find out more about how the network could better meet their needs.
As a result of its survey of members, the network has solid baseline information about the VP drivers of the network–and was able to tweak some of its plans to boost the network's response to what its members value. It created a new service, the "small group discussion marketplace," because some members wanted more opportunities to interact in smaller groups.
What Network Builders Need: More "How To" Cases
Why qualitative studies are useful network learning tools.
Recently in Boston, I joined more than 30 other network consultants and technical assistance providers to share approaches, frameworks, tools and insights about building networks for social change. The convening, sponsored by the Barr Foundation and the Interaction Institute for Social Change, drew a diverse group (together we had experience supporting networks of different size, purpose, and developmental stage, spanning public, private, and nonprofit sectors, from the local to the global). Yet many of us had come to the same place in our thinking. Here is one of the convergences.
How, Not Why
One thing is clear: Most social change agents we work with don't need to be convinced of the power of networks. The network conversation is already prevalent in many fields. What practitioners need/want is grounded advice that draws from sound principles but connects principles to a do-able strategy that addresses their particular case.
At Network Impact we think about this as the need for a "middle term" – the ground that connects general principles to network purpose, context and action. For example, we say that in general networks need both "bonds" and "bridges." But some networks are just about bridges (a network that connects all the people in a community who care about substance abuse prevention) and some networks may need to focus their energy on deepening bonds at the core –before coming to consensus on a network action plan, for example.
At the convening many of us agreed that more diagnostic cases about network building would be helpful. More places to go for a "thick description" of network purpose and context that also describes a network development strategy or "fix" and the outcome. One our favorite network cases describes the development of the Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance – complete with back story, challenges, strategies and examples of network work plans. Authors are Mary Wissemann and Kristina Egan.
At Network Impact we also continue to think about ways to engage practitioners in chronicling their own network progress. In our work in network evaluation we have begun to include a qualitative component, encouraging network practitioners to reflect on their experience and write (or videograph) stories or cases. Members of the Massachusetts Regional Network to End Homelessness produce short reflections (250-500 words) on a quarterly basis. The sum of these reflections from the ten Regional Networks offers a lot of insight about why similar network strategies work well in some contexts and less well in others.
Do you know of a good network development case story? Share it with us through a comment.
In addition to detailed cases, how about a Case Directory? The Directory would list cases with a brief summary — just the headlines — with author or source. If you decide you'd like to know more, you would contact the author/source. Our friends at Cause Communications have a case template that we use in our consulting work to describe typical network challenges and solutions.
Profile of the Challenge:
• WHO: Rural advocates organized in five regional networks and two national networks
• WHAT: Influence policy to benefit rural people and places
• CHALLENGES: Diverse sectoral interests; difficulty building effective policy action initiatives
• QUESTIONS: How to decide on policy focus? Who will lead? What is the workplan?
What Was the Network Solution?
• Clarify decision making
• Identify criteria for deciding policy focus. Possible Options:
• Self governing steering committee with action teams
• Lead organization structure
• Network Manager structure
• All require a network agreement
Let me know what you think about the Directory of Cases idea. Do you have ideas for improving the Cause template. Do you have a case written up to share? Where are there other cases on the Internet that are worth linking to? Check out the 2 cases we've posted.
New National Urban Sustainability Network Launches
Urban Sustainability Directors hold their first annual meeting in Chicago.
Sixty-five sustainability directors from cities and counties in the U.S. and Canada came together for the first annual Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) gathering in Chicago on September 23 to 25, 2009. Funded by the Surdna Foundation, The Home Depot Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Blackstone Ranch Institute, the USDN was formed to enable public sector sustainability leaders to learn from each other and accelerate achievement of ambitious city sustainability goals.
Mayors across North America from Vancouver to Miami are taking action to ensure that their cities are a part of the solution to global climate change. The commitment and action of these mayors has led to the growth in city staff dedicated to sustainable urban development, pursuing policies and actions from recycling and green building to green jobs and climate change planning. While this committed cadre of local government leaders has burgeoned, they have worked in isolation of each other, often tackling similar issues as their peers across the country without a national network to share experiences and partner.
While the mainstream media and non-profit environmental organizations often play cities off-of each other to see which is the greenest, these cities have joined forces to ensure mutual success and sharing of experiences in achieving urban sustainability goals to improve quality of life while solving environmental challenges, achieving cost savings, and promoting inclusive prosperity.
The fist annual USDN meeting included lively discussion of such common issues as energy efficiency retrofits in buildings, zero waste strategies, green infrastructure, and green workforce development. Members also discussed how to maximize the effectiveness of their sustainability offices at managing change. During the next twelve months, members will continue to network and support each others efforts to address sustainability challenges.
The co-chairs for the network are Sadhu Johnston from the city of Chicago, and Amanda Eichel from Seattle.

I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has about 165K miles on it. I bought it used in 2004 and a week later, I started experiencing the following problems:
Originally, the Jeep would start and would run fine but nothing on the dashboard would work - gauges, mileage, lights, nothing. AC and power winds also wouldn't work. After several days, everything would start working fine again. This occurred three or four times during the winter. I got it checked out and the shop said that the body control module was shorting out, and that when it was wet was when it was having problems.
In 2005, the Jeep started having an issue with not starting. It would crank but not turn over. I discovered that if I disconnected the battery for a minute and then reconnected it, the Jeep would start up just fine. I've been doing this ever since.
I had the BCM replaced in 2006 and I didn't have any problems with the Jeep starting or with the gauges for about 9 months. Then everything started happening again. Now I have to disconnect the battery about once a month to get the Jeep to start.
I figure there must be something else other than just the BCM being bad since this is the second BCM I've been through. I think there must be something else causing the BCM to go bad, but I don't know what. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Sounds like there might be some network issues....A DRB III would be the tool of choise here. Need to know who's on the bus. Look for water intrusion under the dash, power distribution box, around the cluster, grounds etc...
My guess is there is a bad connection to power somewhere. Possibly the ignition switch or in the main power distribution panel under the hood. I suggest you purchase a factory service manual to help you find the trouble. When the trouble happens again check to see what systems aren't working and check the manual to see what electrical areas are common to those things having trouble. Then check where power is getting to and isn't using a test light probe or meter. The investment in a good manual will be well worth the cost. You already spent a lot of money on a needless part. These kind of troubles are usually due to simple connection problems and a lot of times the most expensive parts are blamed for the trouble.

Eatontown, New Jersey (PressExposure) July 05, 2011 -- As employers look to weather the recovery with their staff intact, their employees look to find new positions. According to two recent surveys, over one-third of the workforce is searching for different job opportunities. A Mercer LLC study shows that 32% of employees are "seriously considering leaving their jobs" while a CareerBuilder survey states that 31% of professionals are "likely to look for another position".
Local employment expert Frank Wyckoff, President of The Wyckoff Group (TWG) - Snelling Staffing based in Eatontown, reports this alarming figure is attributed to employee burnout.
"With resources stretched thin, employers have asked their staff to manage more projects," says Wyckoff. "As employees operate at maximum capacity, they feel overworked and underappreciated."
Wyckoff offers employers five warning signs that they are burning out employees:
1. Overtime - If you notice that you're spending more money on overtime, your team may be working too many hours. You might be running the risk of wearing out your players.
2. Lower Quality of Work - Check to see if the quality of your staff's work has gone down. If your employees have too many projects on their plate, they may not have time and energy to give their full attention to each project. Sloppy costs more.
3. Absenteeism - Look at your employee records. If you notice an increase in absences, your staff may be feeling sick from the stress of being overworked. Sporadic disappearances may mean your team members are interviewing for other positions or just need relief. A healthy staff is a productive staff.
4. Turnover - If you observe an increase in employee turnover, you may be working your team too hard. While it's normal that certain employees will leave your company to pursue other opportunities, a revolving door indicates a problem. The resources invested in recruiting and training new employees can be better used elsewhere. Tenure always helps your efficiency.
5. Mood - Did you see that the cheerful, energetic go-to guy at the company became grouchy and snappy? A happy team that works together boosts productivity. It's important that your workforce's morale is in high-drive. This is a clear sign you simply can't afford to ignore. A good attitude is a pre-cursor to success.
"Employee engagement initiatives are important during this economic recovery phase," adds Wyckoff. "If employers dedicate time to keep staff members committed and passionate, it will positively impact productivity."

Detroit Red Wings vs. Buffalo Sabres - 12/1/15 NHL Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Buffalo Sabres (10-12-2) at Detroit Red Wings (12-8-4)
NHL Hockey: Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 7:30 pm (Joe Louis Arena)
The Line: Detroit Red Wings -180 / Buffalo Sabres +162 --- Over/Under: 5 See the Latest Odds
The Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings square off Tuesday night at the Joe Louis Arena.
The Buffalo Sabres hope for a road victory after losing six of their last eight games. The Buffalo Sabres are averaging 2.2 goals per game and are scoring on 21.3 percent of their power plays. Ryan O'Reilly leads Buffalo with eight goals, Rasmus Ristolainen has 10 assists and Jack Eichel has 80 shots on goal. Defensively, the Buffalo Sabres are allowing 2.5 goals per game and are killing 75.4 percent of their power play chances. Chad Johnson has allowed 35 goals on 401 shots faced and Linus Ullmark has given up 22 goals on 263 shots. Johnson has allowed two goals in his last three games. Tyler Ennis is out with an upper-body injury.
USA TODAY Sports
The Detroit Red Wings could use a home victory after splitting their last 10 games. The Detroit Red Wings are averaging 2.3 goals per game and are scoring on 15.8 percent of their power plays. Dylan Larkin leads Detroit with 10 goals, Henrik Zetterberg has 16 assists and Tomas Tatar has 52 shots on goal. Defensively, the Detroit Red Wings are allowing 2.5 goals per game and are killing 85 percent of their power play chances. Petr Mrazek has allowed 29 goals on 425 shots faced and Jimmy Howard has given up 26 goals on 301 shots. Mrazek has allowed seven goals in his last three games.
The Sabres are 17-36 in their last 53 games following a win and 19-65 in their last 84 road games. The Red Wings are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference and 5-1 in their last 6 Tuesday games. The Sabres are 1-13 in the last 14 meetings in Detroit and 4-23-1 in the last 28 meetings overall.
The Sabres are an automatic fade for me on the road and have been forever. That doeesn't change here when you consider Buffalo has one win in its last 14 trips to Detroit. Red Wings should get the W here, so the chalk isn't that big of a deal in this spot.

Photo: Sean Goldman 9, arrives at the U.S. Consulate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hugging his Brazilian stepfather, Joao Paulo Lins e Silva, Dec. 24, 2009.
PICTURES: David Goldman Fights for Son
Sean Goldman was brought into the U.S. consulate by his maternal grandmother, Silvana Bianchi, and his stepfather, Joao Paulo Lins e Silva, making it into the compound's front door as scores of reporters and cameramen tried to get close. His biological father, David Goldman, was waiting for him inside.

PICTURES: David Goldman Fights for Son
David Goldman has been seperated from his son, Sean, since 2004, when Goldman's ex-wife, Bruna Bianchi, brought him to her native country for what was supposed to be a two-week vacation. Bruna Bianchi stayed, divorced Goldman, remarried, and David Goldman began legal efforts to get Sean back.
Last year Bianchi died in childbirth, but her husband, Joao Paulo Lins e Silva, who is Sean's stepfather, won temporary custody.
Thursday morning, Sean cried as his Brazilian relatives and family lawyer tried to get him through the scrum of journalists in front of the consulate. Guards had to violently push back photographers and TV cameramen.
The boy carried his luggage and wore a gold shirt with the Brazilian flag and Olympic rings underneath.

PICTURES: David Goldman Fights for Son
Sean Goldman didn't say anything as he was led from a black SUV across the street to the consulate.
Silvana Bianchi said in tears simply that "this is a very difficult moment."
David Goldman, of Tinton Falls, N.J., won a big legal victory late Tuesday when Brazil's chief justice upheld a lower court's ruling that ordered Sean Goldman returned to him.

The father and son were expected to fly back to David Goldman's home within hours.
The Brazilian family said Wednesday it was dropping legal challenges to rulings giving custody to David Goldman.
But the New Jersey man said repeatedly that, until he was on a plane heading to the U.S. with Sean at his side, he would not feel relief.

Christchurch hit by 5.7 magnitude earthquake this afternoon
New Zealand was been hit by a severe earthquake on Sunday.
The New Zealand city of Christchurch was hit with a 5.7 earthquake on Sunday afternoon at around 1:13pm (Kiwi time). Buildings were evacuated, and networks were congested as loved ones tried to reach eachother.
Local florist Lydia Clark said the quake was violent without any warning, according to Stuff.co.nz.
"We've got a lot of broken glass. A lot of the shops around us had to shut. There were a lot of shop alarms going off but they've stopped now. Obviously Valentine's Day is one of our busiest days but we have still had people come in afterwards."
Since the quake, aftershocks have still been hitting the city. One resident managed to capture the moment the tremors first began on film.
And someone caught the scary moment a cliff collapsed into the sea.
No death or injuries have been reported.
"It was definitely very dangerous"
She's claiming the venue owes her over $9,000.
Customers praise the grocery chain

A completely original and in pristine working condition 1978 Datsun 260Z is hitting the auction block soon, and the best part is there's just 8, 285 miles on the odometer.
This all-original 1978 Datsun 260Z is going under the hammer in the United Kingdom during the Classic Car Auctions' (CCA) sale on September 24th. The car has been rediscovered after sitting idle for 21 years and has clocked just 8,285 miles – it was taken out of storage this May, inspected thoroughly by a specialist – with the engine even turned by hand then connected to a small auxiliary fuel tank. This right-hand drive unit was first registered in the UK back in March 1978 and has only had two owners since – the last one took it home in 1994 and put it into storage.
The model has the original Copper Bronze Metallic paint and all the interior pieces are from back in 1978. "This car is an unrepeatable opportunity to own what could be one of the lowest mileage 'Z' cars in existence," comments Guy Lees-Milne, Auction Manager of CCA. " This fantastic car is a rare find ready for recommissioning or preserving, and will make for a very rewarding and straightforward project for the winning bidder." The estimate bid ranges between £18,000 – £22,000 ($24,000 – $29,000), and this "Z" shows how car collectors can satisfy their passion even on a budget.

Source: http://news.scotsman.com/world/Tomb-of-the-real-Gladiator.4602320.jp
By Nick Pisa
ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed the tomb of the Roman warrior who inspired the title role in Ridley Scott's epic Oscar-winning film Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe.Marble columns and a Latin inscription to Marcus Nonius Macrinus have been uncovered at a 1,800-year-old stone mausoleum built in his honour on the banks of the River Tiber at Saxa Rubra, not far from the headquarters of Rai, Italy's state-run television station.The site, which also includes friezes and stone blocks, was discovered as a warehouse was being demolished to make way for a housing development.The remains are located north of Rome, near the ancient road, the Via Flaminia, which once connected the city to the Adriatic, on Italy's east coast.
Although parts of the tomb have crumbled into the Tiber over the centuries, enough has been recovered during months of excavation that experts are discussing the possibility of rebuilding the tomb as the centrepiece of an archaeological theme park. This would also include the house of Empress Livia, the wife of Emperor Augustus, at Prima Porta nearby.
This villa occupied the high ground dominating the view down the Tiber valley to Rome and some of the walling that retained its terraces can still be seen. Except for the terracing – the gardens are currently being excavated – all that can be seen today are three vaulted subterranean rooms, from the largest of which the fresco decor of an illusionistic garden view was removed to Rome, where it has recently been installed in the Palazzo Massimo, following cleaning and restoration. Marcus Nonius Macrinus was from the northern Italian city of Brescia.He was consul in AD154 and proconsul of Asia from AD170 to 171. Consuls were the highest civil and military magistrates in ancient Rome.
His villa on the shores of Lake Garda is also under excavation. Macrinus was said to have been a particular favourite of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who ruled Rome between AD161 and 180, and became part of the emperor's inner circle after he won numerous battles for him.

Piglet in the House
What is being a Farmer's Wife .... well, there is a piglet in our house right now if that gives you an idea of our days with 8+ inches of rain and brand new piglets on the farm. There were 8 piglets from 2 Momma's, now there is just one and a pack of sad children that want to "save" the last piglet by bringing it inside. They named it Crispy, it's a boy, and it is sleeping in a cat bed in the wood cubby under the wood burning stove. At 12 a.m., yes the middle of the night 12 a.m., the piglet was running around our living room and snorkeling or whatever that cute noise that piglets make is called. I promptly rolled out of bed, like any other Mother that hears a small creature in distress, scooped him up and deposited him in the arms of our sleeping 12 year old daughter and said "your piglet needs to go out and go to the bathroom then be fed" and I headed back to my own warm bed :)>. Yes, really. Long ago I said "Every child needs a pony, a puppy and a kitten.", I think these things are good for children. Then I followed it up with "CHECK, done, off the list. No more puppies or kittens, ponies are ok.". Now, there is a piglet in our house, I mentioned that right?! A piglet! Have you ever seen a piglet? They look like miniature elephants, they are SOOOOO cute you can't imagine. And so sad when they are wet and cold, you just want to scoop them up and cuddle them - of course if they scream you run the risk of their Mother's biting your leg off. Been there done that, I mean, made a Momma pig mad enough to attack by loading up her piglets for sale. If you ever want to laugh so hard that you might fall down, see how fast 4 grownups can get through the windows of a suburban with 3 Large Black Momma hogs trying to stop them from taking their piglets - YIKES! Who needs the gym for cardio!!! Anyhow, I have now been informed that the piglet has to go to town, in the minivan, with me today, because I am the driver of choice to take the girls to their lessons in town. The Farmer says he has to work, so he can't care for the piglet, and the children are just sure it is too cold and wet to give the piglet back to it's Mother. Weatherman, Weatherman will it rain? If not, back to the pig the piglet goes. If so, I guess the piglet will be going to town.

They all argue how the first experience can actually affect one's future and ask what's wrong in trying to be naughty when one is still in the teenage. Well, let us discuss what some experts have to say.

How Your First Experience Affects Your Future Relationships
If a person gets into a physical relationship before 15 years, it is categorised as early experience according to relationship experts.
Is it healthy? Well, relationship experts opine that it could impact the person's views in several ways as a person needs to attain a level of maturity before experiencing pleasures for the first time.
Also, many surveys indicate that people who experience everything too early may end up being less stable in their relationships later on as they keep searching for something in one relationship after another.
Also, if a person has too many physical encounters before marriage, he or she may keep comparing the spouse with earlier physical experiences and this may bring down the quality of the relationship though it may not be the case all the time.
Also, relationship experts opine that teenage pregnancies or early parenthood could also have several adverse effects.
As we age, we tend to develop maturity and wisdom which might help us to choose the right partner. Before attaining the same, every relationship mistake could impact career, stability, peace of mind and social standing too.
Of course, in very rare cases, the first experience at a young age happens for the good but in a majority of the cases, trying things too early has been proved to have negative consequences in many ways. So, waiting till the right age is a safe way to avoid depressive phases in love, according to researchers.

Dr Mustill was reassuring but firm with me as I often dismiss my symptoms and she sent me straight to hospital where I underwent surgery the same day to remove my appendix. Her communication with the hospital meant I was seen immediately. I am very grateful for her help.

Disappointment for Northern Ireland fans after 1-0 defeat to Poland
Months of anticipation culminated in disappointment for Northern Ireland's fans after defeat in their opening Euro 2016 fixture.
Supporters had little to cheer on the pitch as Poland dominated possession with their own brand of tiki-taka.
And even the thumps of a Lambeg drum could not lift the side in green and white.
But the masses who descended on the south coast city of Nice remained upbeat despite the 1-0 loss.
Philip Mitchell from North Belfast was taken aback by the numbers in the opposing stands.
He said: "It is like an away game."
Fans tried valiantly to live up to their mantra of the "Ulster Boys making all the noise".
The First Finaghy South Belfast band racked up the volume with a Lambeg.
Because of the heat it took one hefty bearer to hold it and another to wallop it. After ten seconds, he put it down again.
The drum later echoed around the stadium to "Ulster" in an attempt to rally a trailing Northern Ireland.
The chants involved "standing up for the Ulster men" and they were certainly put to the test.
It had been a long walk to the stadium, with the shuttle buses stopping a half hour's walk away. It appeared some supporters had taken a few shandies.
Northern Ireland's supporters faced worthy opponents in the pageantry stakes as well.
Andres, who introduced himself as the "King of Poland" and had a decorative crown to match, walked along the seafront promenade in the Mediterranean city, in close proximity to David Clint from Comber in Co Down, who was dressed as a green and white chicken.
Inflatable crocodiles, bright green wigs and the odd bottle or can of beer were the props of the day.
The fans came from Londonderry and Belfast, Coleraine and Ballymena, and even "yuppie" Helen's Bay, on the affluent North Down coast.
The constant refrain was the unprecedented nature of this gathering of brethren, from Sydney and New York, Cork and Blackpool, after a 30-year hiatus from top tournament action.
James Barr from Belfast tore a calf muscle last Wednesday playing football and was on crutches.
He said: "You have got to come, it is a once-in-a-generation thing, Northern Ireland qualifying for the Euros, so I had to be here."
Another man with one arm wandered lost outside the stadium and complained of poor organisation.
But the general mood was cheery and optimistic, with a ready mixing of Poles and Northern Irish.
Some Northern Ireland fans explained to their counterparts the difference between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
"Northern Ireland is part of the UK - it is British."
Citizens from the nations posed together for photos with the sun-soaked Allianz Riviera stadium as a backdrop.
Many had the name "George Best" emblazoned on the back of their shirts, and many sang songs about Northern Ireland's greatest player - who was never able to play on this stage.
A modern day hero, striker Kyle Lafferty from Fermanagh, was the focus of much of the attention within the ground.
But with Northern Ireland on the back foot, cries of "Polski" rang out at every Poland corner - and the final cheer came from Warsaw, not Belfast.

LAURIE Daley had "no dramas" with Josh Dugan being out drinking a day before going into camp with the Blues.
While Blake Ferguson was arrested following the boozy night in Cronulla on Sunday, Dugan did not misbehave and will start at fullback in State of Origin II on Wednesday night.
The pair were drinking before officially entering camp with NSW.
"It was in his own time," NSW coach Daley said. "I had no dramas at all. It was Josh's decision to have a beer, not ours.
"He wasn't in State of Origin camp. There were no allegations he did anything wrong."
Ferguson cops lengthy lay-off
There is no doubt Dugan is a rare footballing talent. In full flight, he is a wonderfully gifted player. But too often his ability is overshadowed by his bad behaviour off the field.
"He's been great in camp," Daley said. "You can see his class out on the training paddock.
"Josh is a very talented player, we all know that. I can tell he is really enjoying being back in the rep scene.
"We want him to continue the form he has shown for St George Illawarra this year. He is really playing some good football.
Mundine's plan to save Blake Ferguson
"The challenge is for Josh to take that form from the NRL into the Origin arena."
Daley refused to criticise Ferguson, who has been charged with indecent assault following an incident on Sunday night.
"Blake's very remorseful," he said. "We didn't speak about whether there was an incident or not, more so about alcohol.
"For me it's about trying to support him as much as I possibly can and see where we end up with him. He does need support. It's a serious allegation.
"But he's someone who's part of our group and someone we really need to support because were not sure what's happened. No one knows too much about it."

On My Way
Santo Domingo Travel Blog› entry 2 of 8 › view all entries
Well so far so good, but I tell you, today was one of the longest, never-ending days I've had in awhile. I think its Tuesday, but I could be misinformed. I left Denver after some delay due to the snow that was falling and needing to be de-iced, but got to Miami without too much hassle. Miami decided not to broadcast that they had a flight leaving for San Juan, Puerto Rico and so we had to figure out where our flight was, but we made it on time. Met the majority of our group in San Juan where we boarded a small bi-prop plane to take us from one island to the next.
Arrived in Santo Domingo around 11pm local time (3 hours ahead of Denver) and made it through customs.
There's about 20 of us, from all over the US and even some from other parts of the world (Canada and the UK) We seemed to hit it off immediately, being a very diverse group of people with different experiences and skill sets. Not all of us are medical, there are quite a few nurses and doctors, but there are also maintence and support type people as well. For some this was their first time out of the country, others had lived most of their life abroad.
The Santo Domingo YWAM (Youth With A Mission) picked us up from the airport and took us to their base, where we could unwind for a couple hours. It was very busy with different groups coming and going at all times. YWAM is a very large organization, with bases all over the world. They are further broken down into specific needs groups, such as Mercy Works. As it was explained to me, YWAM is like your last name in a big family- Mercy Works is like your first name. We didn't spend a lot of time at the base in Santo Domingo- just long enough to charge our ipods, brush our teeth and make sandwiches for lunch on the bus. We were told it could be a 16 hour drive to Port-au-Prince, depending on the traffic.
We were on the road by 4am and had enough room on the bus to stretch out to sleep, though I slept by the luggage and often woke up with some heavy suitcase hanging close to my face! We made good time, arriving at the Dominican/Haitian border sometime around 1030.
We switched buses- ours was taking the group before us back to the DR and we had a couple minutes to talk to them about what to expect. They seemed tired and very dirty. We were about 2 hours away at this point and the scenery started changing. Not so much the landscape- its still very tropical and pretty- but the farther in we go the more evidence we see of the earthquake.
Haiti was never a rich country, even before the earthquake and like most third world countries, the people lived the best they could with what they had.
YWAM in Haiti has set up a temporary base at a local orphanage in Port-au-Prince, called New Life Children's Home, right next to the airport- or more precise- the runway.
Arrived at base around lunch time and spent the majority of the afternoon lounging in camp chairs under a large tree in the yard. As much as I wanted to lay down in my tent, the Haitian sun would have cooked me alive in minutes.
More to come later

SPring-8 is located in the mountains of Japan, about a three hour drive from Hiroshima and approximately a nine hour drive from Tokyo. It's location was chosen to reduce vibrations and possible damage from earthquakes. (NOTE: I have yet to experience an earthquake or even a tremor here, so although they are "common" in Japan, they rarely cause damage, and with SPring-8's location, you may never experience one). The management and operation of SPring-8 is complex. RIKEN, the official "owner" of SPring-8, is the research arm of the Japanese government. Per SPring-8's website: "SPring-8 is owned and managed by RIKEN, and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) is commissioned by RIKEN to operate and maintain the facility." This statement is rather vague, but in practice both administrations both simultaneously manage the facility and conduct their own research.
SPring-8, although it may first look like a spelling error, stands for Super Photon ring, 8 GeV (giga-electron volts). Photons? Rings? what? Spring-8 is a synchrotron facility, meaning that it produces very high powered x-rays by means of accelerating electrons to approximately the speed of light, and then forcing them to turn a corner (bending magnet) or "wiggling" them with closely spaced magnets with opposite poles (undulator or "wiggler"). This rapid change in direction (velocity) causes the electrons to emit very powerful x-rays (photons) that are used to probe substances at the atomic and molecular levels. After being accelerated by a linear accelerator, the electrons are sent into the "storage ring" which is a ring shaped building 1435.95 m in circumference. Around the inner radius of the storage ring building is the vacuum chamber that actually holds the electrons. Experiments are done in experimental "hutches" spaced around the storage ring building. As of April 3rd, 2012, there were 54 operational experimental hutches.
The storage "ring" however, is not really a ring, but a series of short straight segments alternating with magnets. These magnets, as mentioned earlier, are either bending style magnets, or undulator style magnets, which change the direction of motion of the electrons, causing photons to be emitted. Spring-8 has a capacity of 38 undulators and 62 beamlines, although only 54 have been constructed to date.
In lab-based x-ray diffraction experiments and in hospitals, x-rays are produced by accelerating electrons to a high velocity via a high voltage, and then colliding these electrons with a target metal, which then emits the high-energy photons used in the experiment/image. This method, however, is extremely inefficient, with most of the energy lost to heat. Additionally, the range of available photon energies is limited. A synchrotron can produce X-rays over a range of different photon energies. The most important factor however, is that the brilliance of synchrotron X-ray radiation, measured in units of photons/sec/mm2/mrad2 in 0.1% bandwidth (basically how "concentrated" the beam is), is over five orders of magnitude greater than that of traditional x-ray tube based sources. This allows for far more accurate and faster results than with traditional methods.
Synchrotron radiation can be used in an enormous amount of different research areas, ranging from investigations of magnetic skyrmions to precise medical imaging. One of the most common uses of SPring-8 is for materials science research, ranging from novel materials for hydrogen storage to organic conductive polymers.
Perhaps as diverse as the research itself is the variety of different people and industries that come to do research at SPring-8. Out of the 54 operational beamlines, 26 are public beamlines, 17 are contract beamlines, 9 are RIKEN beamlines, and the remaining two are accelerator diagnostics beamlines. The public beamlines are available for almost anyone to use. Individuals, labs, universities and companies without their own dedicated beamline often come to use these beamlines. If you agree to publish your results after using SPring-8, there is no cost to use the facility. If you choose not to publish, then the cost is ¥60,000 (≈$770) per hour of beamline use. The RIKEN beamlines are beamlines reserved by RIKEN, the research arm of the Japanese government, to conduct various research. As an co-op student, you are officially employed by RIKEN, although you may be assigned to any beamline to work. The contract beamlines are built and paid for by an outside company or group of companies. Toyota, for example has its own beamline, BL33XU.
As a student, depending upon your major, you will be assigned a beamline at which to work. During experiment time, you may be asked to assist in the preparation of samples, set-up of the experiment within the experimental hutch, or anything else to do with conducting the experiment. Outside of experiment time, you may be asked to analyze data, create programs to assist other users in data analysis, and model the data using graphics software. Depending on your knowledge level and ambition, you may be able to help with a variety of different research with different people.

Johannesburg - A second man has died from burn injuries sustained in a veldfire in Groot Marico, North West police said on Thursday.
Captain Adele Myburg said Jan Vosloo, 45, died on Tuesday.
Vosloo and four of his employees were fetching cattle from a farm on fire last week Tuesday.
A 19-year-old who went with them burnt to death. His body was found after the fires were brought under control.
Three other people were injured in the blaze.
A 26-year-old woman sustained burns to her face, left hand and both legs. She was still recovering at the Zeerust hospital. Two other men were taken to hospital and discharged on the same day.
Windy conditions caused veld fires to burn uncontrollably last week.
Areas affected included Potchefstroom North, Muiskraal, Rysmierbult, Welverdiend, Mooibank, Kromdraai, Parys, Lindequesdrift, Fochville, Enselspruit, Klipdrift and Vredefort Dome.
About 60 000ha of land were destroyed.
Who starts these fires?
How sad! What a terrible way to die. Condolences to the families of all victims.
Senseless acts of arson committed by uneducated, brainless malema followers. Rsols!
"Land destroyed", wow, severe. If that were the case there wouldn't be any land left in Africa by now. Burning can affect its productivity, and sometimes hasten a transformation to desertification, but destroy, I think not.
Now that they mentioned that an africanner it died,you will hear all sorts of condolences.laat it vrek.
@motsokwi .. it is a pitty you have so much hate in you ... but the day you die I can gaurentee that no one even would have known that you have even lived.
& the only time ANC is not mentioned irrelevantly!!
Recently in the Amalia area, some farmers saw blacks setting their farm on fire. They confronted them, after which an altercation broke out. Many farms burnt down in that fire, and some people died and others were severly injured. Many livestock lost.
Anyway, the blacks laid charges against the farmers for assault after which the farmers were arrested while the arsonists are off scot-free, boasting about their acts.
This is what it's all about - if you can't have it, destroy it. It's a concerted effort against farmers.

What is the percent error between 400 and 210?
Use this calculator when comparing a experimental value to a theoretical value. We think you reached us looking for answers to questions like:1) What is the percent error supposing 210 as the measured value and 400 as the calculated value? 2) What is the absolute error between 400 and 210 supposing 400 as the theoretical value? Or may be: What is the percent error between 400 and 210?
See the solutions to these problems just after the Percent Error Calculator below.
How to calculate Percent Error - Step by Step SolutionThe Percent Error Calculator uses this formula:
The terms "Experimental" and "Theoretical" used in the equation above are commonly replaced with similar terms. Some terms also used for experimental are "measured," "calculated," or "actual" and for theoretical the terms "accepted" and "calculated" are frequently used.
Here are the solutions to the questions stated above:
1) What is the percent error supposing 210 as the measured value and 400 as the calculated value?Use the above formula to find the percent error. So, replacing the given values, we have
Percent error = [(210 - 400) / 400] x 100
= (-190 / 400) x 100
= -47.5 % (negative error)
In this case we have a % of negative error because the experimental is smaller than the theoretical.
2) What is the absolute error between 400 and 210 considering 400 as the theoretical value?This problem is not about percent or relative error, but about absolute error. The solution is very simple:
Absolute error, or error = Experimental - Theoretical = 210 - 400 = -190 (negative error)

Food and Music
Every finisher (ages 21 and up!) will get a free beer at the end of the race, and throughout the day, all participants and spectators can enjoy delicious food and great music! Our food and drink vendor this year is AT Walley's, from Auburn, who took care of the beer for us last year. We are still working on the music, and we'll let you know when we know who it's going to be! The festivities will continue after the mud runners finish the course and end when the whole event closes for the night. Folks are definitely encouraged to hang out, have a beer or two (or a soda!), partake in the excellent food, and listen to the music.
Kid Zone
Even though the main course is geared more towards older kids and adults, younger children will still be able to get muddy in our Mini Muddy course. Kids can run this course once, twice, or even a hundred times if they so choose! There will also be bounce houses for kids to play in if the mud isn't their thing. Everest Park is a fantastic place and when it's filled with people really comes alive!
Consumption of alcohol is permitted to any person who is 21 years of age or older. You must be able to provide a valid photo ID - no exceptions. We will be checking IDs at packet pick up and affixing 21+ wristbands to those who are over 21. If you don't come to packet pick up BEFORE the race, plan on bringing ID to the race. We encourage everyone to come to packet pick up, especially since you get all kinds of great giveaways this year, including a hoodie, t-shirt, pint glass, and our undying love and affection!
Coolers are not allowed. We'll have plenty of food and drinks to go around! Tailgating is also not allowed on the event grounds. Help us keep the FLMR safe, fun, and family friendly for everyone!

An article on CNN.com lists some very creative recycling ideas in the USA and around the world. One project for MIT students combines recycling and a game similar to Cityville. Another is an arcade sponsored by Volkswagen, where you earn points or rewards for recycling cans and bottles. Unless you are "gung ho" on the environment or involved in programs like these, it doesn't pay much to recycle on an individual basis-except for the feeling that you are doing something good for your environment. For example, my mother recently took cans and sold them at a recycling center and barely got enough funds to cover her gas for the trip there. Probably the easiest way to conserve is to reuse items, by buying or donating items at a local thrift shop, or going on FreeCycle, or buying recycled items.

Check out my Wynton Marsalis App
I have been a big fan of Wynton Marsalis since the early 1980s when he first broke out onto the scene. I was in college at the time and was (and still am!) pretty much blown away by his playing. I was particularly impressed on how well he played both classical and jazz. In short, the guy is a brilliant musician and absolutely incredible trumpet player.
So in tribute to all that Wynton has done for jazz and music over the years, I created a Wynton Marsalis mobile app that brings all of his internet presence to one handy place. It will work for both Apple and Android phones. If you are a Wynton fan, get this app for your mobile device and you can stay updated and inspired by Wynton and the JLCO. The app is free.
I own a mobile marketing business, and I've done a bunch of apps for local businesses but this is the first app I completed for a musician. I think it came out pretty good.
Want an app for yourself or your jazz group? Email me and I'll give you more information.

Romeo Et Juliette
- Format: DVD
- Release Date: 8/28/2012
|your cart is empty
Here the iconic Verona opera - and Charles Gounod's masterpiece - makes a superb comeback in the majestic setting of the Arena di Verona. 'Romeo et Juliette' had not been performed in the Arena since 1977. The new production was entrusted to Italian director Francesco Micheli, who opted for a personal, highly original version: 'An arena within the Arena, like a blood-red Elizabethan theatre. A senescent world that will not let it's own children live.' Juliette is sung by Georgian soprano Nino Machaidze, in a return to one of her early roles at the Salzburg Festival. Stefano Secco, often heard at the Op+-ra Bastille in Paris and other international venues, is Rom+-o.
