Do you want your students to self-control their behavior to be either quieter or louder? Welcome to SeeOurSound - the customizable and positive way to associate visual feedback with sound levels. SeeOurSound is a class management tool to help students self-regulate their noise output. It works by letting you create sound levels based on decibel ranges and choosing photos to associate with each sound level. Is the top level photo showing? Time to quiet down. Is Level One showing and you want your subjects to project more? Aim for Level Two. You set the photos that correlate to sound ranges to give just the right feedback based on your goals. Does your school use a level system to set indoor noise level expectations for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)? Our app can be customized to your exact levels. Looking for ways to use technology in your classroom as part of Educator Effectiveness goals? SeeOurSound helps meet the need. What makes SeeOurSound better than anything else out there? Highly customizable - customize the number of levels, level name, the dB level ranges and the pictures associated with each level. You can even take your own photos - how nifty is that? Beautifully Designed - our stylish interface is equally engaging for children and adults. Non-distracting - no annoying meters flipping into a red zone, no alarms. Encourages behavior without passing judgement. Data Graphing - see your sound activity in graph form... and email it! Private - sound level is sampled, no recordings are made.

Acts 2:42-47 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; 45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. 46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.
A singular word knits this passage together; it is found in verse 42 and then, again, in verse 46…
(Gk. preskarterew) "to be devoted" – however, here we see it in the form of a participle – so it should be rightly translated "to be continually devoted." This early community had a clear since of what they were to be devoted to – these things were continually integrated into their way of life. In verse 42, this Greek word is used to set the stage, revealing what this early community was devoted to… In verse 46, it is used to bring back to mind what was stated in verse 42 but with a view to praxis, a picture of how they practiced communal life.
Two things to which the 1st century church was continually devoted (v.42):
- Continually devoted to the apostles' teaching: they followed the teachings and commands of Jesus, having adopted his way of life as disciple makers
- Continually devoted to the fellowship
- The breaking of bread (commemorating the Passover feast/communion)
- The prayers (unified, communal prayer)
Community marked by:
- Reverential Awe [at the working of God in their midst] (v.43)
- Community/Unity [together and had all things in common] (v.44)
- Sacrificial Love [as needs arose, sold their property/possessions] (v.45)
(v.46) restating/reminder – continually devoted – each day – one mind (unified prayer) in the temple (large group), breaking bread from house to house (small groups), they were taking meals together with:
- Gladness (full of exaltation and joy)
- Sincerity of heart
- Praising God
Having favor with all the people (season of grace [gk. charin])
(v.47) …and the Lord was adding to their number DAY BY DAY those who were being saved.

ING Emails Indicate Firm Allowed 'Market Timing' as Early as 2001
Financial-services giant ING Groep NV allowed some of its clients to engage in extensive "market timing" -- a potentially abusive mutual-fund trading practice -- as early as 2001, internal emails show.
In the emails, ING employees express concerns the rapid in-and-out trading by a few big, savvy clients was hurting the returns for regular mutual-fund investors.
It is the latest development in the market-timing scandal...

The mission of Freedom Campus is focused on housing, health, nutrition, education and the creation of opportunity for Ghana, and all Africans. Because of its unique setting – Freedom Campus is literally adjacent to the former infamous slave shipping port of Fort Prinzenstein – we have a never-ending obligation to remind the world of what happens when human beings are stripped of their dignity and traded as chattel. The practice of slavery continues around the world today, as always, fueled by avarice, poverty and ignorance.
While we have few weapons to combat greed, evil and inhumanity, Freedom Campus will be at the vanguard of the war against the factors that allow slavery to flourish – in Africa and elsewhere: poverty, disease and ignorance. Our primary thrust is to offer an opportunity to earn a decent standard of living and hope for the future to the youth, women and men of Ghana, based on a better utilisation of latent human and physical resources.
Together with our eminent Advisory Board (professors Victor Gadzekpo, Emmanuel Akyeampong, Elysée Soumonni, Kodzo Gavua and Sandra Green) we have joined the battle to solve the critical problems of insufficient and inadequate housing; insect-borne diseases; a costly, wasteful and unreliable agricultural food chain; and access to finance for infra-structure projects utilising indigenous human and material resources – essential for the future of the country and its people. At the same time, we will shed light on the Slave Coast industry and infrastructure developed to feed the insatiable demand for slave labour in the Caribbean, Europe and South America.
This project, integrated with the restoration of Fort Prinzenstein, will attract tourists, create jobs and generate income through much of the Volta Region. Freedom Campus is destined to become a key international educational hub in an on-going campaign to improve the quality of life in the Volta Region, Ghana and the African Continent.

The question of the day…Which is more tasty, seared steak or grilled steak?
Before I start to cook the steaks, I have to prepare them.
I will smoother them in olive oil, garlic salt, garlic power, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. It is better to prepare them at least an hour in advance, so the flavors have time to sink into the steak.
This will be my first time using the grill.
So first, I have to turn on the propane tank under the grill.
Then open the lid of the grill and turn on each knob to high and then hit the ignite button.
Next, close the lid and keep the grill on high, to get it nice and warm around 400 degrees.
I will take the steak and put it directly in the center of the bottom grate. The secret to having grill marks on the steak is only move it 4 times (That's what I read) So, each time should be two minutes and then flip, and two minutes and flip it the opposite way so the grill marks will cross. So this should be interesting…..
Well, I think it turned out pretty good…For my first time. My mother was pretty impressed!
So it is time to move on to the seared steak on the stove.
First I will heat up the pan so it is hot. As soon as the pan is hot I will put the steak in the pan. The key is to cook it hot and fast to brown the surface of the steak. The hot heat from the pan helps the juice of the steak to be sealed in. So, I flip it once and let it cook on that side. The steak is done..YUM
So here is the moment of truth…Which is more tasty. The grilled steak or seared?
I would have to choose the grilled steak. It is more juicy and has that charied flavor, that the seared steak does not have.

During the pre-season, players are aiming to get into the best possible shape for the up-coming season by increasing muscle mass and reducing body-fat.

The focus for players is to eat high energy meals which are balanced with quality protein, slow digesting carbohydrate and healthy fats.
Tasty and enjoyable recipes that meet their nutrient targets are hugely important for the players, the more variety and options they have the easier it is to stick to their nutrition plan.
Below are two recipes that the players regularly enjoy.

The International Cargo Cooperative Biosecurity Arrangement (ICCBA) is a voluntary, non-binding multilateral arrangement that provides national biosecurity agencies, with a platform for collaborating on biosecurity initiatives.
The ICCBA aims to provide rigor around the operational implementation and management of biosecurity policies that are developed by bodies such as the International Plant Protection Convention. Current interests focus mainly on the development of treatment methodologies and their verification; however, there is potential for future expansion to include inspection and other biosecurity assurance activities.
By providing a collaborative platform, the ICCBA encourages international cooperation on the harmonisation and verification of international biosecurity activities and processes.
The current membership includes representation from 11 countries, with a further 10 biosecurity agencies investigating future membership.
The ICBBA comprises an overarching arrangement which promotes communication and collaboration between member agencies. Participation is entirely voluntary, creates no legal obligation and does not commit countries to any specific biosecurity or trade policy or process.
Participation in the ICCBA does however, provide countries with the option of signing onto separate schedules, which sit under the arrangement, that cover specific biosecurity measures. Countries participating in these schedules agree to a set of administrative and technical requirements and obligations, which are then acknowledged and reciprocated by all signatories. The multilateral nature of ICCBA enables participants to accrue and share benefits with a whole community of member agencies.

About sustainability reporting
Steinhoff is pleased to present the corporate responsibility information for Steinhoff International, which is additional to the information included in the group's integrated report to provide stakeholders with insight into aspects of sustainability and the way in which the group manages its businesses.
Key material issues are addressed together with the group's strategic drivers in the integrated report. The group's sustainability information describes how sustainability efforts underpin these strategic businesses drivers to create long-term sustainable value for all stakeholders.
Aspects of social and environmental sustainability have been part of the group's strategy for many years, yet there is now more emphasis on monitoring and reporting of relevant and material data. The group is continually seeking to improve processes of data collection and data management in order to report more accurately on strategic sustainability issues and to align reporting with global best practice.
Steinhoff's approach to corporate responsibility and sustainability remained consistent throughout reporting periods. Relevant qualitative and quantitative information is updated annually where necessary to provide sufficient context of the group's performance.
Group structure
Steinhoff International Holdings N.V.
Genesis Investment Holdings GmbH
Steinhoff International Holdings Limited 100%
Steinhoff Investment Holdings Limited
Steinhoff Africa Holdings (PTY) LTD 100%
Pepkor Holdings (Pty) Ltd
Steinhoff Services Limited
Steinhoff Properties (Pty) Ltd
JD Group Limited
KAP Industrial Holdings Limited
PSG Group Limited
Steinhoff Finance Holdings GmbH 100%
Steinhoff Europe AG
Hemisphere International Properties BV
Scope and boundary
The scope of the sustainability information includes the group's operating subsidiaries of the international and South African businesses (Pepkor will be incorporated into the sustainability reporting at the end of FY2016). The financial and quantitative data covers the financial reporting period of 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.
All references to Steinhoff, the group, the company, the business, and references to "our" and "we" refer to Steinhoff International Holdings Limited and its controlled subsidiaries. A controlled subsidiary is a company in which Steinhoff has a shareholding of more than 50%.
For a comprehensive understanding of the affairs of the group, the sustainability information should be read together with the integrated report, the audited annual financial statements, and the corporate governance report, all of which are available on this site.
Determining materiality
The diversity of the group's businesses and its extensive geographical footprint influence the way in which the materiality of sustainability aspects is determined and addressed. There are many issues across the group that could be material to certain divisions but not to others, or to the group as a whole.
Materiality is therefore determined and defined at a divisional level. Decisions around materiality are based on the potential impact of risks and opportunities, and the effect on stakeholders.
This has resulted in certain of the divisions being at the core of many of the group's sustainability initiatives.
The group's combined assurance process will be further developed to include sustainability data. This will enhance the quality and integrity of the group's sustainability data.
With third-party assurance becoming a prevalent reporting requirement the group is in the process of including certain sustainability information into the internal audit cycle. When this has been fully incorporated and optimised, external assurance will be achievable in certain areas of focus, where deemed necessary.

Oct 21, 2008 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
However much stress it might cause, the Marcellus football team does not mind plunging into a wild, high-scoring contest where the last team with possession tends to win.
That's exactly what last Friday's clash between the Mustangs and Solvay Bearcats at Earl Hadley Stadium turned into — an instant classic with seven lead changes as the two long-time rivals sparred for the Tom Anthony Memorial Cup.
And it was Marcellus that would earn that final chance — and take full advantage of it, as the strong right arm and stronger poise of junior quarterback Will Fiacchi pushed the Mustangs past Solvay 33-32.
With that win, Marcellus not only turned back a long-time nemesis at its home field called "The Pit", it also clinched a first-round home playoff game, as the Mustangs finished second to Westhill in the Class B West division with a 4-1 league mark (6-1 overall).
As Marcellus celebrated its exciting win, Solvay had to wonder what kind of bad fortune would come next. The Bearcats are 3-4, and two of those defeats were one-point decisions — to Marcellus here, and to Homer back on Sept. 26 (a 27-26 defeat that time).
Given that it had allowed 46 points to Westhill the week before, the Bearcats were bent on going after Fiacchi in some kind of way to make him uncomfortable.
That did not work out, as Fiacchi threw 31 times, completing 18 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns. He tossed the ball to five different receivers, with A.J. Mitchell (five catches, 62 yards) getting the most attention.
Again, sophomore running back Ricky Alfreds made sure the Solvay defense did not just try to stop Fiacchi. Alfreds carried the ball 17 times for 139 yards as a perfect counterbalance. C.J. Nye led the Mustangs' defense again, piling up 17 tackles.
Right away, the exchanges began. Fiacchi threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Scott Cotter for the only points of the first quarter.
Everyone on the Mustangs' defense would have problems, though, especially in trying to pressure Solvay quarterback Jonathon Orioli, who threw for 141 yards on 13-of-19 completions.
Orioli, early in the second quarter, hit Anthohy Liquori for a TD, and at two-point pass from Orioli to Tom Hayes got Solvay its first lead at 8-6.
Another exchanged followed. Marcellus would go to Fiacchi again as threw a second TD, 19 yards to Mitchell, but Orioli and Hayes would respond with a pair of scoring passes — one from 20 yards, the other from 22 yards. Both times, they made the two-point coversion.
Staring at a 24-12 deficit early in the third quarter, Marcellus did not panic. Instead, it drove to the Bearcats' goal line in the third period and had Alfreds score from one yard out, and another drive ended exactly the same way, Alfreds' second TD putting Marcellus back into a 27-24 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Yet again, Solvay would push back, moving the ball smartly into the Mustangs' end. Orioli would finish the march, going 14 yards for a TD and firing a two-point pass to Liquori.
Solvay now led 32-27, and only needed to hang on. But as time wound down, Fiacchi showed unflappable poise as he steadily marched the Mustangs down the field.
This drive reached the Bearcats' 18, and there wasn't much time to win it. Knowing this, with 23 seconds left Fiacchi threw deep over the middle. Though well-covered, Dan Rudy hauled the ball down in the end zone with 23 seconds left for the game-winning points.
By winning this, Marcellus comes home Friday night to meet Chittenango (4-3) in the opening round of the Class B playoffs, while Solvay visits B West champion Oneida in its first-round game. Both contests start at 7 p.m.
Oneida won the B East regular-season title, going 4-0 in league play (6-1 overall), and feature a potent attack anchored by senior quarterback Ryan Kramer and running back Rick Rossi. Chittenango has sputtered on offense since senior quarterback Jon Stevens went down with a broken leg in the Bears' loss to Oneida on Oct. 3. The winners of these games get each other in next weekend's semifinal round.

Hubbali, Sep 18: Defending champions Bijapur Bulls suffered a shocking set back in their very first outing in the fifth edition of the Karbonn KPL powered by Cycle Agarbathies when a Mayank Agarwal-inspired innings helped Belagavi Panthers to script a five-wicket win with three balls to spare in an exciting T20 clash at the KSCA Stadium in Rajnagar on Saturday (Sep 17) night.
The Bulls struggled with a wet ball as neither their bowlers nor their fielders were able to circumvent the difficulties imposed by it.
Some catches went abegging while the bowlers failed to put the ball in the desired spot while defending a rather handy target.
Earlier, the Panthers put Bijapur Bulls in to bat in the hope of grabbing early wickets, but that was not to be, as Bijapur opener, Samarth, exhibited an excellent repertoire of strokes, en route to a well-crafted 64 off 47 balls.
However, frequent rain interruptions stalled their momentum, resulting in losing wickets at crucial junctures in the innings. Left-arm spinner, Sakuja picked up 2 for 29 from his four overs, as the Bijapur Bulls were restricted to a modest 137 for 7.
The Panthers openers, Mayank Agrawal and K Abbas, got the chase off to a solid start. Both put on 45 in 7.5 overs, before Abbas (17) fell to leg spinner Sinan, attempting a wild slog over mid-wicket.
Shoaib Manager (2) and Vinay Kumar (6) fell in quick succession, but Mayank Agrawal and SK Jain tried to steady the ship before Jain became Sinan's second wicket for the night. Sinan returned figures of 3 for 16.
However, an unfazed Mayank slammed 74 off 57 balls, and aided by a late attacking sprint from Pravin Dubey, sealed the game for his side in style.
Brief scores:
Belagavi Panthers: 141/5 (M Agrawal- 74, SK Jain-24, Sharath- 2/15, Sakuja-2/29) beat Bijapur Bulls: 137/7 (Samarth-64, KC Avinash-24, Sinan-3/18, P Shekawat- 2/30) by five wickets.

Daily analysis 06.07.2016:
The pound increased its historical minimum against the dollar. Williams of the Fed underestimates the matter of Brexit, while Dudley wishes to wait for the situation to develop. The zloty and the forint are relatively stable, despite a clear increase in risk aversion. The most important element of today's MPC meeting.
Most important macro data (CET – Central European Time). Estimations of macro data are based on Bloomberg information, unless marked otherwise.
- 16.00: ISM index for the American services sector (estimations: 53.3 points).
- 16.00: Press conference after the Monetary Policy Council meeting.
- 20.00: Minutes from the recent Federal Reserve meeting.
Pound has clearly increased its minimum
The British currency has yet again increased its thirty-year minimum against the dollar. This time, however, the scale was definitely larger than previously. Yesterday, we wrote about a depreciation to the area of 1.31 on the GBP/USD. During the Asian session, this pair decreased to the 1.28 level. It took thirty-six hours to make a move of approximately 500 pbs. Since the referendum day, the total overvalue of the pound against the dollar was nearly 15%.
Considering that we are talking about a currency of one of the developed markets, these are very strong moves. On the other hand, the scale of problems is significant as well. Apart from the widely commented Brexit that may lead to the United Kingdom breakdown, there is also a serious leadership crisis within two of the main British parties. Moreover, deficit of the current account is at its record level.
The latter problem may be difficult to solve. This is even when we take under consideration the current depreciation of the pound. This deficit not only is a result of a huge surplus of import over export, but a negative balance of primary incomes as well (the difference between profits gained by the British investors abroad, and profits gained by the foreign investors in the UK). On the other hand, the currently positive services balance may reduce. Its significant part comes from the financial activity. If it is limited due to the loss of a part of the European market, the general deficit of the current account does not have to shrink clearly, despite wear-off of the pound, as well as a decrease in deficit of the products trade. This may sustain the decrease pressure on the pound.
Williams underestimates. Dudley waits
Yesterday, we have heard opinions regarding Brexit from two representatives of the Federal Reserve. John Williams claimed that the hikes in 2016 will be justified, if the forecasts appear real. The San Francisco Fed member also said that risk regarding Brexit is moderate, and he continues to estimate the 2016 economic growth for approximately 2%.
The statement from William Dudley was definitely more cautious. According to the MarketWatch website, the New York Fed chairman, as well as one of the most important FOMC members, said that, "we do not know what the next move of the Federal Reserve may be. We cannot foresee how the economy behaves. We were not able to foresee Brexit."
Thus, it is rather unlikely that there will be any changes in the FOMC attitude after the July meeting. In our opinion, the dollar should remain the favorite in the currency market for the forthcoming months, regardless of the scenario. If it appears that the Brexit consequences are relatively mild, the Federal Reserve will return to a serious discussion regarding the hikes. On the other hand, if the economy slows down significantly because of the British referendum, the dollar will most likely remain the safe coast, especially for the emerging markets capital. This should support the condition of the American currency as well.
Zloty is slightly weaker. Retirement age will be decided next week
The zloty is slightly weaker than it was yesterday morning. However, condition of the Polish, as well as the Hungarian currency is not bad. Especially taking under consideration a visible deterioration in the global sentiment, as well as a strong overvalue of the pound. The press conference after the Monetary Policy Council meeting should be the main event today.
A suggestion whether the MPC is taking under consideration a decrease in monetary rates, if the economic slowdown is below the 3.0% level, is most likely to be to most valuable information for the market. Considering a mild fiscal policy, the Council will rather not want to decrease interest rates in our opinion. This is even considering that Brexit decreased significantly the GDP growth perspective.
On the other hand, it is interesting whether the NBP has considered Brexit in its forecasts for the new Inflation Report (today, we will only receive its crucial conclusions, and its entirety is most likely to be published on Monday), or has it presented a simulation on how may it impact the basic economic indexes.
Recently, we wrote a lot about consequences of hypothetical decrease in retirement age. The final decision was to be made at the government meeting yesterday. However, meeting of the Council of Ministers has been postponed for today. However, the official meeting order does not include the discussion regarding retirement age. According to the Prime Minister Beata Szydło, who was cited by the Bloomberg agency, "the government will discuss a possible decrease in retirement age next week." Of course, it is difficult to say whether it has anything to do with the Fitch decision regarding Poland's rating that is planned for July 15th, or maybe this decision results from a necessity of discussing more important matters.

One of the reasons bullet journaling is such a great system, is it gives you the ability to customize and change your journaling style at any time to fit your current needs. While this is a huge plus if your schedule is always changing or you get bored easily, trying new things can lead to mistakes. For us perfectionists, it can be a bit nerve racking, at times even paralyzing, to do something untested with no assurance the outcome will be as expected. This is where my practice journal comes in.
Whether you call it a practice journal, a test journal, or anything else, having a place to try out and develop ideas can take the fear out of the unknown. Instead of sticking to one thing because it works, having a place where mistakes are allowed, encouraged even, is freeing.
The video below shows a walk-through of my practice journal in all it's unrefined glory.

A new law will eventually overhaul how Californians pay for electricity and the state's expensive push into green energy sources such as wind and solar.
We won't know any details for a year or so, after the California Public Utilities Commission decides on a new rate design.
My guess is that regulators will tread carefully, so I don't expect any drastic changes. But there will be winners and losers.
Bills are likely to rise a bit for energy misers and decline for energy hogs. And today's lavish subsidy for rooftop solar probably will be scaled back, shifting the advantage to big commercial projects.
Assembly Bill 327, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Monday, gives the PUC authority to change the system of rate tiers enacted during the state's 2001 power crisis.
At the time, utilities were having trouble keeping the lights on. A botched deregulation encouraged generators to shut down power plants in order to push up wholesale prices.
So the Legislature designed rates to increase as consumption increased, capping costs for low-income consumers and people who used less electricity. As a conservation measure, the system worked pretty well – total consumption has been essentially flat for nearly a decade, although the Great Recession certainly played a role.
Over the same decade, California lawmakers required massive investments in energy from solar, wind and other renewable sources. Green power is expensive, so that pushed up costs.
With prices capped for the lowest usage tiers, all these costs were piled into the highest two tiers.
In 2001, power cost 13 cents per kilowatt hour in Tier 1 and rose to 19 cents in Tier 4 for residential customers of San Diego Gas & Electric Co., according to a recent paper by Scott Anders, director of the Energy Policy Initiatives Center at the University of San Diego.
Now, after a rate hike that took effect in September, Tier 1 costs 15 cents in the summer, while Tier 4 is a whopping 37 cents per kilowatt hour.
This huge disparity upends the traditional approach to rate making, in which regulators try to treat all customers roughly equally when divvying up the costs for generation, distribution and transmission.
"In the last 10 years, you had a skewed allocation of the actual costs," Anders said. "If the utility has to pay more to buy renewable energy, is that cost due to the (consumers in the) upper tiers? No, it's because of all the tiers."
SDG&E and the state's other investor-owned utilities lobbied hard for AB 327 in the Legislature and with the public.
Executives argued persuasively that the tiers were unfair. But they also faced a business problem: with costs escalating much faster than inflation, there was bound to be political blowback as Tiers 3 and 4 continued to skyrocket.
The last uproar in California over expensive electricity brought us the 1996 deregulation law. Spreading out the impact of rising costs makes good political sense.
AB 327 also may begin to solve another problem for the utilities: huge subsidies for home solar systems.
Under that same 1996 deregulation law, utilities were ordered to allow people with rooftop solar systems to get credit for their power production. This evolved in a system called "net metering."
Residents get credit at high rates when the electricity from solar panels offset the demand from their homes. They get a lower amount when panels pump surplus power into the local grid.
This rate structure allows solar owners to use the grid as a type of battery when they don't produce power, and sell their output to themselves at full retail rates. This sets them apart from other producers, who sell power at sharply lower wholesale rates.
Setting aside tax credits and other direct subsidies, the ability to offset their bills at full retail lets homeowners avoid paying their share of the cost for wires, substations and other equipment that makes up the transmission and distribution grids.
Statewide, this cross subsidy cost nonsolar consumers $60 million in 2012, according to a draft study by the PUC and the California Energy Commission that was released Sept. 26. The study compared the costs of providing service for solar customers to the benefits of their output, such as avoiding new power plants and distribution upgrades.
By 2020, the total cost of net metering is projected to hit $287 million if the policy isn't adjusted.
Under AB 327, lawmakers direct the PUC to figure out how to preserve incentives for rooftop solar while adjusting the subsidy. People with systems installed before 2017 will be grandfathered in somehow, and then transitioned onto a new net metering system.
And, in a compromise with Sacramento's powerful green-energy advocates, lawmakers raised the amount of power allowed under net metering in each utility's territory. The law also empowers the PUC to raise the total amount of renewable energy, which under previous law was set at 33 percent of each utility's consumption by 2020.
When California started its push for green power, subsidies were intended to help the renewable energy industry survive its infancy. Improving technology and falling prices were supposed to eliminate the need for government help, someday.
This latest law doesn't end that policy by any means, but it does allow regulators to think about removing some very expensive training wheels.

Some lovin'
Coming to a bookstore near you in about 3 months time, especially Monument Books in Phnom Penh, or get it online at Amazon.
Of course it's worth waiting for, but I would say that wouldn't I. With over 60 contributors and more than 125 essays, there will be something for everyone. ThingsAsian Press have already published To Myanmar With Love and To Vietnam With Love. My own To Cambodia With Love is on the way soon, as well as To North India With Love. Books on Nepal, Shanghai and Thailand are in the final stages of production as well.
There's a whole heap of events coming up, even though I've had a very dodgy tummy since last night. Tonight, I'm off, if well enough, to the new Meta House to watch two films dealing with disability in Cambodia, called Encourage, and I Can, produced by Epic Arts and Rise Up! Living with Disabilities, which is from the Meta House team. Tomorrow at the same venue, from 7pm onwards, Meta House is having a party with the Cambodian Space Project as the number one attraction, alongwith back to back music videos on at their rooftop cinema. MH is also the venue for three consecutive nights of the film premiere of Enemies of the People, which will screen twice a night from the 21st-23rd of this month. The film has won a host of awards already and should definitely be on your to-do list. On Saturday 24th at Chaktomuk Theatre, you get the opportunity to see Seasons of Migration by the Khmer Arts Ensemble and on 8th August, a taster of the musical Winds of Angkor, will also be held at Chaktomuk, as part of the Cambodian Youth Arts Festival. So there's something for everyone. Don't say I didn't warn you.

No holidays in Germany is complete without a stay in the Black Forest,
this wellknown and popular holiday region.
The Black Forest stretches along the banks of the Rhine, which is navigable
from Basel to Rotterdam, and it is the source of the rivers Neckar and Donau.
Lake Constance, Switzerland and Alsace / France are just on the doorstep.
In an area 210 kilometres long and 65 kilometres wide, this highland region,
with mountain peaks of up to 1,498 metres, offers a wealth of natural beauty
with forests, streams and lakes all steeped in legend, a healthy climate and fair
sized towns.
The holiday-maker will seldom find such a unique combination of sheer
relaxation and a wide range of cultural activities.
Everywhere in the Black Forest you can indulge in health and fitness
activities to your heart's content and enjoy all kinds of fresh-air sport and
recreational activity all the year round: there is everything on offer from
hiking to cross-country skiing and mountain biking.
At festivals and events, as well as in the numerous museums, you will find
both regional history and local culture, of which the "Bollenhut" hat and the
cuckoo clock have become world-famous symbols of this holiday region.
Nor should we forget the cuisine and the fine wine of the Black Forest with
their pure mineral waters, fruity spirits and the genuine
"Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte" ( Black Forest gateau).
Folklore and Culture
Everywehre in the Black Forest you will find evidence of a rich and varied history - castles, palaces, churches and monasteries, as well as numerous Especially worth mentioning are:
In the Southern Black Forest
The " Hüsli" museum of local history in Grafenhausen, one of the locations of the
german hospital television series
" Schwarzwaldklinik"
The organ museum in Waldkirch.
The bee-keeping museum in the Münstertal
As well as the Vorderösterreichmuseum Endingen at Kaiserstuhl
Landesmuseum für Bergbau (state mining museum) in Sulzburg
The Augustiner museum in Freiburg
But you can also experience local culture at first hand throughout the
whole year:
the driving out of the winter during " Fastnacht" (carnival) in February, the
Fastnacht and the " Morgenstreich" in Basel;
processions are held in various traditional costumes on religious holidays,
summer "Hocks" (social gatherings) and town festivals, cultural evens like the
Ettlinger Palace festivals, the Music Pavilion in Freiburg, the wine festivals in
autumn to celebrate the new wine and "Zwiebelkuchen" (with onion) and the
numerous Chrimas markets in winter.
One the highlights is the Baden-Baden opera -house which was open in 1998
and is one of the largest opera-house in the world.
Wine and Cuisine
The Black Forest is home for the best cooking in Germany, even if we
disregard the many stars awarded by restaurant guide.
Local agricultural products have given the cooking its distinctive character.
Game, trout and pine honey suitably round off the culinary range. The
mineral waters and the beers are as pure as natural waters.
Delicious juices and fine spirits come from the many fruit varieties like the "
Bühler Zweschke" (plum), mirabelles and pears.
Amongst them, the most original is the " Zibärtle " , distilled from a wild
plum and only to be found here; the most famous surely is the "
Schwarzwälder Kirschwasser " , also an ingredient of the " Schwarzwälder
Kirschtorte " .
For a " Vesper " ,- an in-between meal - something more substantial is likely
to be served : " Schwarzwälder Schinken " (ham) , smoked according to the
old recipes, and home-made bread are obligatory, as well as a " Viertele "
(quarter of a litre) of wine from the Baden district.

Ten22 Ratings and Reviews
We were from out of town, but we've eaten here in the past when visiting Sacramento. Went back this time after having positive past experiences. Still a wonderful restaurant with excellent food and service. Discovered a new local brew on their recommendation. Had a wonderful time.
There appeared to be multiple managers but no one was managing. Everything was out of sync the night we went to dinner. Our waiter didn't offer to inform us about the special because he said that it was sold out....by 7:00 at night! Our waiter also said and assured us that our salad and kids meal would come out before our food but our food came our first. Then we got a Caesar salad that was warm (it has sat out too long), so we got another one. This one has old, brown romaine lettuce. Our braised lamb dish was tough to eat as the meat was tough. The tortellini was also hard to eat as the pasta was tough.
My fiancée and I were there to celebrate our engagement (first date since engagement the day before). We had two specific questions for our waiter around food allergies. My fiancée is allergic to most soft cheeses and vinegar. We shared that with him. Specifically we asked about the cheese in Lasagna. He said it had mozzarella and Parmesan. We ordered it to find it had ricotta. Not ok for her. He blamed the kitchen for "not telling" him. He also said it had bacon, it did not. The salad that came with it had a vinegar dressing. He discounted the meal which we didn't want, we wanted to share a meal together. Also, water and bill were very slow to arrive/refill. We found ourselves waiting around a lot. Meal took about 45 minutes to arrive after multiple times telling us it was almost done.
Like other reviewers, we ordered those stupendous brussel sprouts. Our beverages arrived in a timely fashion then we ordered our entrees, from the salmon plate to kid pizza. We grew to wonder what happened to our order. Four or five times our waiter explained the food delay and we accepted each wait time because he kept us informed.
Also, we weren't in a hurry.
We each very much enjoyed our meals.
We sat on the patio with just a few other people and enjoyed a quiet, pretty ambience. The wooden tables are nice. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the pork chop with a kind of plum sauce, simple green salad and an heirloom tomato pizza and shared everything. I would definitely go back.
This place is like a cafeteria. The ambiance is terrible, service was extremely slow and the food was sub par for the price. My salad tasted old and my friend's gluten free fish was fast food quality. I am not sure why the reviews are so high for this place. Judging by the wines on the wine list, I expected much better. There are so many other great places near by. I hate to leave negative reviews but as someone who arranges dining for clients, I know this place is not worth going to.
This is one of our favorite dare night restaurants, excellent food, large portions, and won't break the bank. We did the special 3 course Farm-to-Fork dinner. The salad was refreshing with greens, mandarins, lemons, tomato, creamy goat cheese, and a couple pieces of fried artichoke(just enough). Main course was shredded oxtail prepared tender, tasty, and not too saucy, over big egg noodles. Finishing off with a pot de cream topped with chopped quince, and honey drizzle. My husband had Twisted River Tempranillo and I tried Tequila en Roble. He liked the red wine, I was hoping for something more in mine. The cocktail menu mentioned blood orange juice and Orange liquor. Instead I felt like it was a shaken margarita. I'm not a fan of sour mix. Next time I'll jut get the anejo meat. The tawny port we had with dessert was nice though. Only other drawback, it was very warm in our booth location. Overall an excellent meal for $25 each, plus typically priced drinks, in a nice, but not too pretentious, restaurant. Good date night.
Tried this place for the first time on 9-1-17. I was seeing a show at Golden One and they advertised $5 valet parking for dinner and during the show. The food was good, but not stellar. A good server could have made up for the mediocre food, but that was not our server. He seemed almost annoyed to be there. The final blow was getting multiple texts starting at 10:30 from the valet. They claimed the show was "scheduled" to be over at 10:30 and that the restaurant closes at 10:00, so if I did not get back by 11:15 I would have to get my car in the morning. That would have meant leaving before the show was over. I hit there close to 11:30 and the valet and fortunately the valet was still there. Bottom line, if you are going to advertise valet parking during G1 Center shows, arrange for valet service until the show is over and don't pressure patrons to leave concerts early.
We enjoyed our first visit to Ten22 in Old Town Sac. The Brussel sprouts appetizer was fantastic and the $20 burger was delicious. We also had the lamb which was good but nothing spectacular. The wait staff was a little too attentive, constantly asking if we were ok or if we needed something. Overall, we would recommend the spot to others and would return ourselves.
The food was good, the place is airy and modern - very different from the touristy ambiance of shops in Old Town. Nice place for a business lunch.
The staffer was a bit too thorough and though we asked for more time she'd reappear every 2-3 minutes...during lunch she asked us if everything was okay 5-6 times - a bit much. Once we ate we had a hard time getting her attention. Could have been us, could have been the lack of customers on that day, maybe it's karma - we wanted to catch up.

September 2016
It is well documented that Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) are competitive, have a high work ethic, are loyal and well used to the concept of working up through the ranks. Generation X (born 1965-1977) are known as the latchkey generation – due to both parents working and so having to let themselves into the home after school – and are skeptical, independently-minded and adaptable to change. Generation Y or Millennials (born 1978-mid 2000s) are confident, tolerant, team players and have high expectations yet seek a much better work/life balance than generations before. Note that these date ranges vary slightly dependent upon the source, but are considered generally correct.
This is the workforce today, a diverse group of people with different communication styles, different mindsets, different needs, desires and aspirations.
Of course, the descriptions above are stereotypes and take no account of individualities, but if you are managing a large group of people, these guidelines can be useful until you get to know each person better.
So how on earth do we manage them all and remain fair to each cohort and avoid risks such as poor performance, staff retention and maybe even legal problems with claims of unfair treatment?
As managers it's up to us to change and adapt to their differences in order to achieve a productive and effective team of people.
Just to complicate things further, there is an additional piece of information for you to consider. Different ages at different stages. Each generation will be at a different stage in their lives.
The Boomers may be considering a transition phase from work to retirement, so would like to work part-time. Can you accommodate this or will they leave and take their unique knowledge and experience with them?
Generation X are likely to have children at school and their thoughts will be on school plays, sports days or perhaps hospital appointments with them. Is your company flexible enough for them to attend these extremely important events as long as they get the job done?
And the Millennials, they are ambitious and often seek extra training or learning on the job, so they welcome the opportunity to contribute more than their job spec. Do you finance or give time for them to continue learning?
Whilst on the subject of learning, it is a mistake to believe that older people no longer have the need or (as some think) the ability to keep learning. This way of thinking couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone wants to learn new ways of doing things, it may take some a little longer, but if you help them feel confident they will be energized and excited that you wish to invest in them and studies show that work performance increases substantially.
Here are 6 ways in which you can easily manage and develop your deliciously different employees and reap the rewards each cohort brings to the table.
As we get older we may like to think of age as just a number, but it isn't. It is something that needs to be constantly addressed as time moves on. If you can adapt your management styles with your different age groups and can accommodate your staff as they progress towards the next stage in their lives and their needs change, you will have a strong foundation for an effective and happy workforce.

Poppy seed torte
2 cups Grahm Crackers, crushed fine.
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup melted Butter
Mix all 3 ingredients together and press firmly in the bottom of a 9"x13" baking dish.
Custard Center:
4 cups Milk (best to use whole milk, if possible).
3/4 cup Poppy Seeds
1 cup Sugar
6 tablespoons Corn Starch (I think you call it corn flour?)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
6 Egg Yolks (save the whites)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl, sifting out all lumps. Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl, set aside for later. In a sauce pan, scald the milk (bring to almost a boil and skim off the top). Add the dry ingredients to the warm milk and bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Temper the egg yolks (slowly drizzle in the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly - don't want lumps to form) by adding half of the hot milk mixture to the yolks. Then add the tempered egg yolks to the remaining milk mixture in the sauce pan by drizzling slowly back in and whisking constantly. Return sauce pan to medium heat, stirring constantly, continue cooking custard for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Cool and pour onto the crust.
6 Egg Whites
12 tablespoons Sugar
1/2 teaspon Cream Of Tarter
Put egg whites in mixer and beat until fluffy and stiff. Add the sugar, while continuing to beat, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the cream of tarter last. Beat until stiff peaks form and the whites are glossy. Spread on top of cooled custard, decorating with peaks of the froth.
Bake: 30 minutes at 325°F.
Remove from oven, cool and refrigerate until the next day. Serve cool. Refrigerate any left overs.

Tankersley, United Kingdom (PressExposure) April 03, 2012 -- A study just released shows that at least half the current free solar panel installers in the UK have left the free solar market. As few as 8 installers may remain to provide free solar panels to homeowners who cannot afford the upfront investment that solar pv requires.
The entire Solar Industry has suffered due to the severe reduction in the FIT payments, which were initially introduced by the Government as an incentive to invest in renewable energy. However companies in the free solar market have had to endure a further 20% cut in the FIT payments due to the Government's U-turn in its support of the Free Solar Industry.
Of the three leading providers in the UK only 2 remain - A Shade Greener Ltd, (http://ashadegreener.co.uk) and Isis Solar
Stewart Davies, Chairman of A Shade Greener Ltd, has announced as follows:
"The Government was fully supportive of the Free Solar Industry way back in October 2009 but now seems intent on making it very difficult for companies such as ours to continue to provide this invaluable free service, without which the FIT Scheme is entirely elitist. Nevertheless, A Shade Greener remains committed to providing free solar systems to the public and will continue to offer them entirely free of charge for the foreseeable future. We have no plans to stop, despite the tariff changes that were implemented yesterday in respect of companies such as ours. As well as entirely free solar, we will also carry out an entirely free Energy Assessment, which will provide the homeowner with an EPC certificate that will be valid for 10 years."
With so many installers leaving the market this may reduce the areas that are covered by installers, thus leaving solar blackspots with homeowners unable to find a free solar company that covers their area. With fewer installers it will also mean that consumers will be less aware of the free solar offers that are still available.
Stewart added:
"As a company we have actually increased out coverage area, which seems to be contrary to what the study shows to be happening for other installers."
You can see the full study here: http://www.freesolarpanelsuk.co.uk/post-april-2012-free-solar-study.php
The likelihood is that it will cause frustration for many households who have perfectly suitable houses for free solar but no-one to cover their postcode area.
It seems pretty compelling that the report states that of the 40 installers offering free pv systems only 4 (including A Shade Greener) have confirmed that they will continue as they have whilst the other 4 in the report will continue with certain restrictions.

Lifestyle Stories
Genealogists want to keep access to Death Index
The call is out for genealogists to unite in a fight to stop identification theft. The campaign, spearheaded by the Records Preservation and Access Committee (RPAC), is in reaction to hearings before a congressional Ways and Means subcommittee that could lead to closing public access to the Social Security Death Index (SSDI). The Subcommittee on Social Security recently listed the death index as a possible source for identity thieves to acquire a deceased person's Social Security number. The index is on several websites (including Ancestry.com and Genealogy Bank) and is widely used by individuals researching their family roots. RPAC has called the Subcommittee on Social Security's proposal to completely shut down use of the SSDI as a short-sighted attempt that runs counter to the original purpose of the index, which it says is "to actually combat fraud."RPAC has placed a petition on the We the People website and is urging genealogists and other interested individuals to sign it. The website was created by the current administration to identify issues of interest to a significant number of Americans. The administration has pledged that issues getting substantial numbers of signatures will be sent to "decision-makers who can best implement solutions and improvements." Readers can access the Stop Identity Theft NOW! petition at http://wh.gov/khe. RPAC's goal is to obtain 25,000 signatures by March 8. In its call for action, RPAC released a statement that its goal is "to get as many signatures, as quickly as possible, so that the solutions to fraudulent tax refund claims based upon identity theft from recently deceased infants and adults can be taken seriously and implemented immediately. Doing so will help us ensure that the SSDI is available to not just genealogists, but all researchers and information professionals who rely upon its contents." RPAC's voting members are the National Genealogical Society, the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies. Participating members of the committee include the Association of Professional Genealogists, the American Society of Genealogists, ProQuest and Ancestry. Also known as the Death Master File, the index contains more than 89 million deaths (updated weekly) reported to the Social Security Administration. Each record provides a date of birth, death date and last residence of the deceased individual. Entries usually come when a survivor reports the death in order to stop Social Security benefits of a deceased. Although not every deceased person is listed in the file, it is a great resource for genealogists. The irony of the situation is that the original purpose of the death index was for government officials to use it to quickly check for fraudulent use of a deceased person's Social Security number. "If returns claiming a tax refund were screened against the Master Death File and matching cases identified for special processing, the thief should receive a rejection notice for the filing," RPAC stated in a press release. Although the SSDI is a key element in genealogical research, forensic specialists also use it to reunite remains of military veterans with their next-of-kin and descendants. Law offices, banks, and insurance companies use it to resolve probate cases and to locate heirs. Changing public access to these records, RPAC says, would require spending more money and would require officials to spend time delving though other resources "when the SSDI has served this purpose, uninterrupted, for over a decade." RPAC sees "no need for lengthy hearings in front of a congressional committee, no need for filing statements for or against any house action, and no need to waste time and effort which could be directed to more pressing national issues." The group suggests that the National Taxpayer Advocate in 2011 issued suggestions that don't require additional legislation but could be implemented collaboratively between the IRS and Social Security Administration (SSA) almost immediately in time to affect the current tax filing season. RPAC formed several years ago to advise the genealogical community about matters concerning access to historical records, to affect legislation, and to support strong records preservation policies and practices. Those interested in signing the petition must first create a WhiteHouse.gov account and verify their email addresses. Step-by-step instructions for signing up are at http://fgs.org/pdf/rpac_petition.pdf. Those who encounter technical problems with the process can contact [email protected] for assistance. Readers can follow this issue on the RPAC blog at http://www.fgs.org/rpac.

Not So Fast
We thought that my guzzling water days were behind us but I'm still drinking more water than I really should be. My vet thought it was Lyme disease related but now we're not so sure. My Doxy med is all gone - today was the last day.
Take a look at the photo of this Golden. Mom found the picture of him here.
It's almost like this condition happened overnight. The muscle tone over my eye is sinking and my eyeball is moving backwards into my eye socket and when I yawn, my eye rolls back and mom get totally wigged out and frantic.
My blood test results are coming back in the normal range. We are still waiting for results for one more test.
Of course, mom and dad are beyond concerned and the waiting for a diagnosis is tough.
Love ya lots♥

About "Do not play with communism." by Rockslide
Do not play with communism.
Design by Rockslide
I just want to make it clear again, cause I'm always paranoid about this stuff, that I based this off some actual 50's public announcement junk. I wanted to take the original images and messages and make a parody of them, that's all. I thought it was pretty funny. Somehow everything seemed to relate back to defeating communism, even brushing your teeth could help the battle against the Reds, haha. I love that stuff.
nicely played, big $5
I am currently in a Post-Soviet country. I would wear this for sure!
Hey thanks everyone for all the comments! I understand that a lot of you feel its pretty crowded, I guess I was having so much fun with the images and the art that I wanted to get it all on there. I thought the several images helped provide a stronger punch to the final joke. Coming back to this shirt now though, after making it about two weeks ago, I think the communism boy could also work on his own for a funny shirt. Just him alone centered with sickle and hammer. Even so, I like them all together, its commentary on the time period. Thanks for all the comments!
Love the do not play with communism, think it would be better with just that, or just three of them or something... but great either way.
darnit! i missed the voting. nevertheless i woulda given it a 5$!

We are proud to announce the 35th Annual Fall Classic. (If you want to skip to the Notice of Race, here it is.) This is the longest running windsurfing race in the United States. It's also a lot of fun even if you don't race. For some, it's about the thrill of the race. For others, it's about spending a weekend with a bunch of really nice folks, hanging out on one of the prettiest spots in North Georgia - the sunsets are always killer - great food, drink and more. You don't have to be a racer, or even windsurfer, to have fun. But you do have to be there.
Chris Voith, who works tirelessly each year to put this on, always has something fun planned for Saturday evening. Last year, it was a fireworks display that embodied that great American ideal: excess. It was big, it was huge, it was loud. And, it was wonderfully synchronized to music.
But what could Chris do this year to top that? How about... get this.... with the help of Ezzy and Windsense, we give away a brand new Ezzy 7.5 sail? We could have cheaped out and done a budget brand sail or a measly 3.5 that you want to use but really won't ever get wet. Nope and nope. We went full in on probably the most used size in Atlanta. A 7.5 will cover you for 60-70% of Atlanta windsurfing even if you thought you wanted to rig a 6.5 - this is an Ezzy after all. It will do that.
Make plans. Be there. No excuses. Even if you don't win a sail (but you know it has your name on it), it is always a fun time whether you can manage to make a whole weekend out of it or just part of the time.
Download the notice of race, fill out the entry form and get registered!
Notice of Race: all the details and entry form
Chris Voith has been kind enough to invite the local *surfing (wind,kite,etc) to the Lake Lanier Sailing Club beach this Saturday, Sept. 14 for an informal get together honoring the beginning of the fall/winter/spring sailing season, . We'll all be there wind or no wind. If it's windy, we'll go get wet. If not, we'll tell stories and consume food and beverages.
As September is this is our equivalent to throwing out the opening pitch for the season.
