MACOMB COUNTY — The second phase of the Michigan Department of Transportation's M-59 corridor project is expected to last from mid-March until at least mid-September.
The two-year, approximately $60 million project started at M-53 in 2017. This year's project scope, from Dalcoma Drive to Romeo Plank Road, will complete the 3.7-mile reconstruction. The project will also improve drainage, crosswalks, and aesthetics like landscaping, and will include other decorative work.
In early February, MDOT began underground utility and electrical work.
On March 6, at the main branch of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library, MDOT project engineer Jim Petronski discussed the project details in front of local residents and business people.
He said this year's project is basically the opposite of last year's project, with construction occurring on the inside lanes first rather than the outside lanes. Drivers will be able to utilize the outside shoulder, which will be widened by about 5 feet, as well as the two outside lanes. Once those are complete, the inside lanes will be reconstructed.
Local businesses can sign up to receive emails from MDOT in relation to major intersection closures and the like, which is read from traffic signals.
"If it's 6 o'clock in the morning and you've got to be somewhere down M-59, you can check, and this updates every 10 minutes," Petronski said. "So every 10 minutes it's gonna give you a new timeframe of what's changed."
Decorative crosswalk work will be conducted at the major intersections involved, including Schoenherr Road, Delco, Garfield Road and Romeo Plank. That includes complete crosswalks connected to Eastbrook Drive and Windwood Drive, which connect to Lakeside Circle and subsequently Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights.
The tentative schedule includes an approximate 10-day closure of access in late April through Garfield, whereas drivers can get from northbound or southbound Garfield to Hall Road, but they have to utilize the turnaround to go north or south. The same method will be used in late June for Romeo Plank.
Three lanes between Garfield and Romeo Plank are expected to be open during rush hour throughout the entire project, with construction crews doing the bulk of the work between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. He added that MDOT will use 7 1/2 inches of hot mix asphalt that takes into account truck weights and the number of vehicles on the road.
Also, due to the Michigan Legislature's recent approval of a $175 million bill — $4.48 million of which will be sent to Macomb County — Petronski announced that some of the funding will be used to make concrete patches, from Delco to the crossover west of Van Dyke Avenue. That will take place throughout a two-month stretch this summer.
Next year, the same methodology is expected to be done for the roads being fixed as part of this second phase. That work will likely be done on weekends.
"The idea is that all of M-59 in Macomb County, by the time next year's done, should be considerably safer to drive on and less potholey than it is now — even in the non-reconstructed section," he said.
John Van Houten, of Clinton Township, is the general manager at English Gardens, located at Garfield and Hall roads. He said his business suffered a "significant blow" last year, and he's anticipating the same thing this year.
"We had the same problem with other stores over the years," Van Houten said. "We've all faced it. But back-to-back years is gonna make it challenging. Hopefully, the worst is past us."
The traffic doesn't bother him, though, as he drove from Dearborn Heights to Clinton Township the previous six years and simply used his smartphone GPS to locate the best routes.
"There's a lot of ways across town, you've just got to figure it out," he said.
Mark Hurttgam, of New Baltimore, said the project could be a bigger hindrance due to occurring simultaneously with reconstruction on Interstate 696.
"(The projects are) necessities, but I wish they weren't doing them the same year because the same roads will serve as alternates for both," Hurttgam said. "It seems like it could have been staged to do it in different years."
The website www.moving macomb.org will allow drivers to find information on both MDOT-conducted projects, including real-time construction updates, travel times and businesses that are still operating as usual.

Amazon just brought one of Google Home's more useful features to the Echo. Do you think you'll use Alexa Announcements with your compatible Echo devices? For example, you can say "Alexa, tell everyone..." or "Alexa, broadcast..." and then speak to have your voice broadcast to other connected speakers. The feature makes it easy to communicate to everyone in your home where an Echo speaker is present.
While a Group might offer you the ability to say "Alexa, turn downstairs lights off" to kill all the lamps and fittings, a Routine enables fine control.
Amazon Key's smart entry features is now available to all customers across the United States, including keyless entry, remote lock and unlock, and guest access. The new mode reportedly replaces few of Alexa's spoken responses with simple beeps.More news: Brazilian judge issues arrest warrant against ex-president 'Lula'
Aside from the usual audio tricks - answering questions, playing music requests, and so on - Alexa on Fire tablets will also visual content with some of its responses.
Amazon's Alexa intelligent assistant can now summon a household for dinner thanks to a new feature called "Announcements", Fortune is reporting.
Amazon said the new hands-free model will be available to Fire HD 7 and 8 users when their device is either plugged into a power source or the screen is lit up and in use.More news: Apple is said to work on touchless control, curved iPhone screen

Wire cube shelving can be transformed into a coffee table that has storage areas. Plastic clips can be used to attach the cubes in a straight line or square, depending on your preference; if you create a square shape, make sure all sides are open for storage use. Flat pieces of wood or glass can be glued to the top to serve as a flat table. The storage space can be used for books; small boxes; or decorative elements such as small sculptures.
Pantry shelving systems pull-out is exactly what they sound like: shelves that pull out of wall. Professional builders install a permanent track system, which fit shelves. You pull and slide them out of wall. This pantry shelves include a stop which prevents too far to pull off shelf. Make your own version by placing deep aluminum pans, wire baskets or plastic dishpans on your shelves. When you need to find something in back of pantry, just pull pot or basket to you.
Stored objects fall through or sit at an angle, as can happen with Home Depot wire shelving. Wooden closet shelves provide a solid foundation for items. Ventilated cabinets wood panels include vertical slots. Materials may include cherry or cedar. A solid shelf usually gives a feeling closed. This more expensive option offers a lasting attractive appearance. Wire shelves can display items somewhat like a store or a museum display. Although glass rarely used for cabinets, the feeling of lightness can display special or precious objects.

VEO likes it windy – the Norwegian wind boom continues
VEO has signed two substation EPC contracts to connect two new wind parks, the Marker 60 MVA wind park south of Oslo and the Hennøy 55MVA wind park at the Norwegian west coast, to the regional power grid. The customers, Scanergy AS with the Swiss investor BKW in the Marker project and the Italian Falck Renewables and the Norwegian Svelgen Kraft Holding in Hennøy, are both significant actors in the Norwegian wind power market. The scope and the current stage of each project are almost identical: VEO's prefabricated modular substations are tailored and optimised to the customers' requirements. The production of all required electrotechnical equipment, such as main transformers, high and medium voltage switchgears, protection and control equipment as well as auxiliary equipment, are well on their way. The projects are executed with a tight project schedule and the Marker project will be delivered in a record-short delivery time – the substation will be energised only 7 months after VEO signing the contract.
The substation will be energised only 7 months after VEO signing the contract.
European investors set the pace
Norway, with its reliable regional and national grid infrastructure and its optimal conditions for wind power, has become the place for green wind investments for many European investors. As many of the wind park projects are developed in co-operation between Norwegian project development companies and foreign investors, there are multiple technical and commercial requirements that partners like VEO need to fulfil. It is not only the Norwegian project developers that set requirements but also the investors, who approach the projects from a pure commercial and risk management point of view. Investors make the final approval whether the supplier meets the high standards set and can be trusted with the investment.
"In addition to fulfilling the international project and contract requirements, VEO has committed to deliver on an accelerated schedule to meet the clients' needs. Thanks to our long experience, our adjustable modular concept solution and our own production of medium voltage switchgear and control systems we have become a trusted partner in Norway," says Viktor Forss, Managing Director at VEO AS. "We are pleased with the cooperation we have with VEO related to Marker wind power plant, says CEO Tor Arne Pedersen from Scanergy AS.
A steady flow of orders
With Egersund 120 MVA and Hamnefjell 60 MVA, commissioned in autumn 2017, and the two on-going projects in Marker and Hennøy, VEO has proven its capacity and ability to carry out demanding wind power projects. According to Forss, there is an upward trend and the best is still to come. VEO promises shortly to share news on several significant large-scale wind projects in Norway that are already in the pipeline.

Fiscal Year 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Design
Using the same analytical approach described for annual base salary and short-term incentives, the Independent Consultant identifies a +/- 20% median range for long-term incentive target pay for the CEO and each NEO. Target LTIP is expressed as a fixed dollar value from which the underlying shares subject to the LTIP award are determined based on the market price at the close of business on the grant date.
The target is split equally among three LTIP components; stock options, restricted stock units, and a three-year cash incentive plan called the Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP). For example, the hypothetical target LTIP of $2,400,000 would be granted as $800,000 stock options (full-value equivalent), $800,000 restricted stock units, and $800,000 under the LTPP. Note that stock options are stated in a full-value equivalent, using a four-to-one conversion ratio for the purposes of setting the LTIP target. This value conversion ratio will differ slightly from the Company's Black-Scholes grant date valuation used for accounting expense purposes under FASB ASC Topic 718.
Fiscal Year 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan Components
Stock Options
Stock options are a performance-based compensation component that tie one-third of the target LTIP value to stock price appreciation and shareholder value creation. Stock options only have value when the market price exceeds the exercise price. All stock option grants have an exercise price that is equal to the market close stock price on the date of grant. Stock options have a ten-year term and vest in equal increments of 25% per year beginning one year after the date of grant.
Restricted Stock Units (RSU)
Restricted stock units represent the second one-third of the target LTIP value, and are intended to assist in retaining high performing executives and align executives' compensation with shareholders through long-term stock ownership. The RSU grants cliff vest (100%) on the third anniversary of the grant date. Unlike the more commonly used time-based RSUs used by our Comparator Group, Medtronic's RSUs include a three-year minimum performance threshold that must be met before the RSUs vest. For Fiscal Year 2017 RSU grants, the performance threshold was set as the diluted earnings per share cumulative compound annual growth rate (cumulative CAGR) of 3%.
Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP)
Our LTPP is a three-year cash incentive plan that is based on long-term measures of Company performance. Our LTPP design was established following an extensive review completed by the Compensation Committee, Independent Consultant, and management. The review considered shareholder feedback, competitive benchmarking, and the Company's short-term and long-term strategic imperatives. The LTPP has different measures than our short-term incentive plan as it is tied to longer term financial performance measures that are not influenced by variability in the stock market. The LTPP pays in cash after the end of the three fiscal year performance period, provided a minimum level of diluted earnings per share is attained. A new LTPP award grant and performance period is established at the beginning of each fiscal year. Because three-year performance periods overlap, performance goals are established at the start of each performance period and, once established, do not change.
Fiscal Year 2017 Long-Term Performance Plan Calculation Methodology
For each performance measure, the performance multiplier would be 0 if performance is below the minimum, 0.5x if performance is at threshold, 1x if performance is at target, and 2x if performance is at or above the maximum performance level. The performance multiplier for each performance measure is multiplied by the weighted percentage to obtain a performance score for that measure. The performance scores for each measure are added together for an overall performance score. That overall performance score is then multiplied by the applicable NEO's individual target award to arrive at the actual payment amount.

NetherRealm Studios turned a lot of heads last month when the studio revealed that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were joining Enchantress and The Atom in the third Fighter Pack for the DC Comics fighter, Injustice 2. While the Turtles aren't expected until sometime in February, The Atom is being prepared to kick off the next wave of DLC this month when he releases on December 12th for Ultimate Edition and Fighter Pack 3 owners.
Longtime protégé of the former Atom Ray Palmer, scientist Ryan Choi joins the Injustice 2 roster armed with the character's trademark quantum bio-belt along with a vast knowledge of physics. Squaring off with the likes of Black Manta in the trailer, Atom is able to change his size during a fight including shrinking to avoid normal attacks, which makes him nearly impossible to hit.
Atom is also armed with a number of interesting attacks as well, like a gun that puts his opponents in a sort of stasis for a few seconds and chemicals that can cause a few different reactions. Atom's super move has him first shrinking down to inflict some heavy hits before uppercutting his opponents into the air and then growing supersized to slam them back down to the ground with a massive punch. While the animations have improved, the super is pretty close to what NetherRealm teased fans previously.
Fighter Pack 3 kicks off on December 12th when the Atom becomes available for Ultimate Edition and Fighter Pack 3 owners. While NetherRealm hasn't revealed which fighter is expected next, most fans assume that Enchantress is coming in January followed by the highly anticipated debut of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in February. Beyond that, NetherRealm hasn't confirmed or denied any additional DLC for Injustice 2, though many fans continue to hold out hope that characters like the heavily-teased Spawn will be added at some point as well.
Injustice 2 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Kotoko Coach Steve Polack is confident his side will go past the preliminary round in the CAF Confederations Cup competition despite recording a narrow victory over CARA Brazzaville in the first leg.
The former Ghana Champions fluffed an opportunity to grab a big win at home when they miss three out of four penalty kicks awarded by Senegalese referee Issah Sy.
Saddick Adams, Amos Frimpong and Baba Mahama all missed their kicks and had to rely on a late kick by Yakubu Mohammed who came off the bench.
Polack who was satisfied with his side's performance believes they can secure a favorable scoreline in Brazzaville next Wednesday.
"It wasn't an easy game, you always have yourself to blame if you are unable to capitalize on the chances that come your way," he said in a post-match interview.
"In as much was a missed chances, we were able to win at that is the most important thing.
"We need to work ahead of the next game in Congo, is going to be difficult, but nothing is impossible.
"We still have a chance to qualify to the next round and we must work towards that."
Kotoko will need to secure a favorable score line in Congo to advance to the next round.

Someone closer than you think has decided that you're awfully

obviously not a problem for you, unless you happen to have
adopted a temporary shy persona for some reason and feel

take a cue from one of your bolder heroes when they feel low on

scamper back into your VIP room.
There's a huge difference between being nice and being kind.
Usually, being nice involves saying 'yes' to too much stuff
that you don't actually want to do in order to get people to
like you. Being kind, on the other hand, involves thinking
independently and long-term, and saying 'no' to things when you
know they're just going to be more trouble for everyone in the
future. You need to make the distinction soon.

Expansion bolts are preferably used for temporary rock bolting. This bolt type is quickly installed and may be recovered. Rock bolts made from reinforcing bars may be grouted with an expanding concrete mortar. In order to prestress the rock bolts they must be anchored with synthetic resins or a wedge before grouting. A suitable washer for rock bolts is concave and circular. When the rock is very fractured, rock straps and netting may be installed together with the bolts. The parts of the rock bolt which are not grouted, must be protected against corrosion if they are to be permanently installed. By sporadic bolting, one or more rock bolts are installed at dangerous rock fractures. The number of bolts may be calculated in a simplified way by neglecting friction and cohesion forces on the fissures. Another dimensioning method, which takes into account the friction forces is also presented. The friction force on fissures may be increased by prestressed rock bolts. Rock bolts should usually be installed in a direction which causes a minimum of shearing stress. /Author/

New federal estimates chart the rapid increase in Howard County's Asian community, which in three years has grown from 7.6 percent to nearly 10 percent of the county's total population.
Overall, the county's population grew from 247,842 in 2000 to 264,265 by July 1, 2003, an increase of 16,423, according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau last week. Asians accounted for 38.2 percent of that total growth, climbing by an estimated 6,285 residents, to 25,589.
The growth in the number of Asians in Howard outstripped all but Montgomery County in Maryland. It also far outpaced the estimated growth of other Howard minority populations, including African Americans and Hispanics. Still, minorities accounted for more than 60 percent of Howard's total population growth during the three years.
Howard's non-Hispanic, white population grew by 6,514 people. The growth rate of that population has declined each year since 2000. In contrast, the white population growth was dominant in other formerly rural, suburban counties, such as Carroll, Frederick and Harford, according to an analysis by Mark Goldstein with the Maryland Department of Planning.
Howard's black population grew to an estimated 37,846 in 2003, constituting about 14 percent of the population, the same as in 2000. The number of Hispanic residents was estimated at 8,774 in 2003, remaining 3 percent of the total. Hispanic advocates have argued that the census undercounts this group because Hispanic immigrants without proper documentation often are not included.
According to the 2000 Census, Koreans comprised the largest segment of Howard's Asian community, followed by Asian Indians and Chinese. The 2003 Census estimates do not provide a breakdown of Asian population growth, but local officials report that the Korean community continues to expand rapidly.
Roy Appletree, executive director of the Foreign-born Information and Referral Network (FIRN), said the Korean community's fast growth has not resulted in a dramatic demand for FIRN's counseling and support services because new residents typically have higher incomes compared with immigrants from other countries. They also can turn to an existing network of Korean churches and businesses and a Korean American community association, Appletree said.
Young-chan Han, a Korean family outreach specialist who has worked six years with the county school system, said that for Korean immigrants, Howard "is a place where they feel comfortable about settling in, because a large number of immigrants are here already. Schools for most of our families are the number one reason for most of them moving."
Howard's Korean influx has transformed the demographics at Hollifield Station Elementary School in Ellicott City. During the 1999-2000 school year, white students accounted for 74 percent of the population and Asians totaled 11 percent. This year, white students represent about 52 percent of enrollment and Asian students, mostly Korean, total about 30 percent, said Linda Dombrowski, president of the school's PTA. During that same period, the numbers of black and Hispanic students grew slightly.
On Oct. 19, the Hollifield PTA is sponsoring its first American Culture Night for Asian parents from Hollifield, Waverly and St. John's Lane elementary schools, said Dombrowski. The event, which will include interpreters, is an attempt to explain elements of U.S. education -- how teachers encourage children to ask questions, the role of physical education, participation in after-school activities and why schools hold in-class celebrations such as Halloween parties, for example. Asian parents sometimes think it's intrusive to ask questions, Dombrowski said.
"We're hoping if they understand the American education system better, it will increase their confidence level and maybe encourage them to be more active," she said. "It's okay to be involved. We want you to be involved."

Corporate Taxes
Consumption Taxes
Because all income is either spent or saved, a consumption tax is equivalent to a flat tax that allows you to deduct savings. Presumably, consumption taxes are less costly to file, but given that we currently only spend 0.01% of GDP on tax-filing "title": "The Cost of Tax Compliance", it seems unlikely that this particular benefit will be that important of a factor.
Therefore, any study that finds consumption taxes are preferable to income taxes is equivalent to finding that
- Savings should be deductible from income taxes,
- and/or flat taxes are preferable to progressive taxes (as consumption taxes tend to be flatter than income taxes).
More generally, the economic consensus that consumption taxes are preferable to income taxes "title": "Beyond the Pro-Consumption Tax Consensus" is equivalent to (1) and/or (2).
The question becomes, then, which is true? Are both true? We're going to examine (1) now and then (2) later.
Lower Taxes Increase Savings
Nonbehavioral Changes
Suppose we currently had a 20% tax break, but that the government was considering allowing a deduction for savings. Ignoring any behavioral changes, consider two scenarios
If everyone currently saved 10% of their income, then this would result in an increase in savings by 0.2% of total income.
If, on the other hand, half the population saved 20% of their income while half saved none, we find that 0.4% more of total income will be saved.
In both examples, the overall savings rate was 10%, but the tax cuts had twice as large an effect in the second. From this we can see that the distribution of savings-behavior matters a great deal in determining how effective consumption taxes and savings deductions are at boosting national savings.
Let $f(i,s)$ be the number of people with incomes $i$ and savings-rates $s$, and let $T$ be the current (flat) tax rate. Then, we can compute the overall savings increase from a tax cut with $$ \int_0^1 \int_0^\infty T \cdot s^2 \cdot i \cdot f(i,s) di ds $$ simplifying yields $$T \cdot \int_0^1 s^2 \cdot \int_0^\infty i \cdot f(i,s) di ds $$
If we let $g(s)$ represent the total amount of money earned by people with savings rate $s$, this becomes $$ \int_0^1 s^2 \cdot g(s) ds $$
In this way, if we assume everyone has a savings rate of 5% and that the tax rate is about 30%, we can expect exempting savings from taxation to increase savings by 0.075% of income while reducing tax revenue by about 1.5%. Hence, we'll be giving up \$20 in tax revenue for every $1 in savings, and while admittedly those \$20 do go to the people, this doesn't seem like a very effective way to increase the savings rate.
Let's consider the other extreme: that 5% of the income-earners (weighted by income) saves all their income while the other 95% save none of it. In this case, we can expect to increase the savings by 1.5% of income for the same cost in revenue, giving us a 1-to-1 tradeoff between revenue and savings. Recall, that shifting $1 from consumption to savings is morally equivalent to raising long-term laborer consumption by between \$1.14 and \$2.84. This is an extremely effective policy change.
So, empirically, where are we at? Well, recall from our discussion of corporate tax rates these stats:
|Savings Rate "title": "Wealth Inequality in the United States Since 1913: Evidence From Capitalized Income Tax Data"
|Avg Income "title": "Where the 1 Percent Fit in the Hierarchy of Income"
|% of Income
|Top 1%
|Bottom 90%
While there is obviously additional variance within these groups, accounting for the variance between them will give us a lower bound on allowing the deduction of savings. From this, we can compute that (given a 30% flat tax) allowing savings to be deducted should still decrease revenue by 1.5% of personal income but it should also increase savings by 1.03%.
This is the strongest argument I've seen for less progressive income taxes. If you want to get distracted by politicized jargon, this is the "trickle down effect." This obviously has implications for tax progressivity, and, in my opinion, these implications are quite interesting. While that's far afield from this post, we'll talk about it in the next one.
Given that our lower bound on the benefits of saving a dollar is 1.9 utils with 60% of that being an externality. This implies that our 1.5% decrease in revenue causes at least a 1.17% increase in labor income - not to mention the benefits to the investors themselves.
Flat Taxes
I know I said we'd address (2) later, but I'd like to mention it briefly now.
Given that people's utility functions are approximately logarithmic with respect to income [todo: link], we can mathematically show that a flat tax will have minimal effect on people's labor choices, and this matches the low elasticities of labor supply found empirically [todo: cite].
However, if we introduce "effective welfare" via either real welfare or progressive taxation, then this logarithmic model implies that people will work fewer hours as taxes go up. Therefore, a logarithmic modeling of people's utilities implies that welfare and progressive taxation will both cause people to work fewer hours, while a flat tax won't [
Indeed, empirical work finds that guaranteed welfare (which progressive taxation operationally is) reduces average hours worked "title": "Negative income tax".
All in all, then, it seems clear that flat taxes will promote greater economic activity than progressive taxes, which gives an additional reason for economists to prefer them. The cost, of course, is a less equitable distribution of resources.

"But home isn't where you land; home is where you launch. You can't pick your home any more than you can choose your family. In poker, you get five cards. Three of them you can swap out, but two are yours to keep: family and native land."
I finally got around to finishing this book last week, and wanted to talk to you all about it. To be honest, I liked this infinitely more than I thought I would, and I have been feeling that way about a lot of books that have come out in 2018.
The story follows a young married couple, Roy and Celestial. They are young and happily married for about a year and a half before their world is completely turned around. Roy is arrested for a crime he did not commit, and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Over time, things change, and people move on. The rest of the novel tells the story of two people who are lost and how they deal with how their lives are going.
The book is told in three different perspectives- Roy, Celestial, and a close friend-Andre. This was my favorite part of the book. You get to see every point made from every possible perspective. It made the story much more detailed and rich, and allowed you to go into every situation with more perspective. There are points in the story where it is easy to 'choose sides,' and the different viewpoints made it easier to realize how important each one was.
This book was well-written, heartbreaking, and incredibly thought-provoking. It gave incredible insights to the intricacies of being married, racial profiling and being a person of color in America, the legal system, and the lengths you will go for someone you love.
There wasn't one single aspect in this book that left me unsatisfied. I was very nervous towards the end of the story because I wasn't quite sure what the final pages would hold, but it turned out in such a perfect and somewhat unexpected way.
Does it turn out in the perfect, 'traditional' way? No, it doesn't. But for me it felt like the only way for the story to end.
This was a book that will have me contemplating it for the considerable future. I would highly recommend it for any fiction fans.

Global Digital MOJO
Asia Digital MOJO is a global & borderless digital agency with base offices in three cities of Hong Kong, Barcelona and Mexico City, that also added two cities Tokyo and Pune in 2017. We pursued the rebranding just when Tokyo and Pune were added to their network. At the same time, the company name was also changed to Global Digital MOJO (GDM).
First, to reinforce the sense of trust as a company, we began by reconsidering the impression "Playfulness" of the existing logo which was somewhat unbalancing as a global agency. By doing so, while keeping the essence of the existing logo, we were able to combine the rebalanced solid logo shape and the simple logotype to express the newly reborn GDM as a borderless agency based on trust with comprehensive business and design approach. The red in the existing logo expressed "the color of passion to pursue clear solutions to the problems the client has". This was also followed in the new GDM logo, but the color value adjusted to generate more impact.
The triangle at the top right corner of the GDM logo is a newly placed eye catch. It is meant to be a "bookmark (shiori)" or "dog ear" for the clients/end-users of GDM. The Japanese word shiori (栞) has its origin in "shioru (枝折る) - to break branches as markers so a hiker would not stray at a mountain path", which nowadays means "a marker (dog ear) to note how far one has read a book" or "a guidebook for beginner". Based on this meaning, the eye catch expresses that "GDM provides client/end-user with a variety of thinking methods, such as design thinking, that a client would never had utilized, and solutions based on it, and markers and guidance for reaching a clear goal by GDM". Not just as part of the logo, this eye catch can be used in various applications as an accent.
City Logo
In addition to the basic GDM logo (global logo), we have newly established a country-specific city logo that combines city names of offices in each country. Each logo is set with its own color, complementing the originality of each country office.
The new logo of GDM was used and published for the first time at Global Partnership Summit 2017 held in New Delhi, India. GDM is also a content partner of this summit and produced leaflets for the sessions sponsored with information such guest speaker introduction and time tables, and also standing banners, movies, business cards, etc. Business cards using the city logo also received favorable reviews from guests from various countries.

Plumbing is some thing everyone must handle, whether finding a plumbing contractor for new development, a remodeling project, or just giving plumbing repair.
When Do I Need to Call a Plumbing Contractor?
Some common problems found with plumbing include:
Rattling pipes; may be caused by a few factors, most commonly because they are not adequately secured or strapped to-the wall frame. The pipes may need to be precisely secured.
Slow drains; could be partially clogged. If a kitchen sink, the dishwasher may be badly plumbed. The drain may need to be unclogged, or the dishwasher plumbing fixed.
When cold and hot water demands are not balanced lack of hot water when another tap is turned on; especially in older houses. A force balance valve could be required.
Bathroom tank leaks; plumbing parts inside the tank or seals may need changing.
To be sure these plumbing repair problems are properly addressed, or when doing a remodeling project, you may want to get the ser-vices of a licensed plumbing contractor. Be taught further on a partner website - Click here: Expert Indianapolis Plumber, Midwest Plumbing Indianapolis, Shares Common Summer Plumbing Problems.
Plumbing a Redesign or New Construction
A remodeling project may include new plumbing style or new plumbing installation. You will want to meet with all companies involved and the plumber and develop a time-line, so everyone else works together and the project goes smoothly.
Before taking bids from potential plumbing contractors, be sure you have detailed plans. Give each candidate with an similar copy of the plans. Principle would be to get at least three different estimates for a project. To read more, you may check out: http://www.keyc.com/story/38616136/news.

If they're qualified to complete plumbing ask prospects. Also request references. Ask each customer when they could start, and if the project will be finished. Make an effort to test references on other tasks they've done. Dig up more on a partner article directory by visiting http://markets.winslowevanscrocker.com/winslow/news/read/36595635.

A Newcomers Guide to Hunting…
Ahead of the much anticipated Lycetts Festival of Hunting, the event's title sponsor Lycetts offer an introduction to hunting.
Lycetts Festival of Hunting, which takes place at the East of England Showground on Wednesday 18th July, is an annual showcase for the world of hunting and the countryside community, boasting the greatest gathering of hounds in the UK. The prestigious event also includes the Peterborough Royal Foxhound Show, which celebrates its 130th anniversary this year.
For many, the day marks the highlight of the summer social calendar and provides the ideal opportunity for newcomers to immerse themselves in the world of hunting. As many a seasoned Lycetts Festival of Hunting visitor will tell you, the hunting community welcome newcomers with open arms and relish the opportunity to share their enjoyment in the sport with others. The following guide offers tips and tricks for newcomers looking for a valuable insight into the world of hunting ahead of the landmark event:
A first outing with a pack of hounds can be a daunting experience yet taking note of a few key things will help newcomers quickly feel at home. The following may prove useful:
- At Least One of You Should Know What You Are Doing! – A novice rider on a novice horse is frequently going to find the day a challenge. The happy hacker who has never put a foot wrong may become so excited by the day that they behave entirely differently to normal: pulling like a proverbial train or barging and pushing. It is often best to hire an experienced hunter for the first few days until the rider knows the form.
- Be A Gracious Guest – Meets are not provided by the hunt but by individuals. The often lavish provision of drinks and food is due to the generosity of the host and it is therefore always polite to thank them when leaving the meet.
- Listen Out for Calls of 'Whip on The Left' or 'Huntsman on The Right' – This is a signal that hunt staff will need to pass and should be given priority. Make sure one's horse is facing them and the hounds as they pass. Never allow the horse's rear end to be facing the hounds.
- Volume Control – While chatting with other riders is key part of the day, there will be times when the Huntsman and Field Master need to listen carefully to what is going on. They will not appreciate loud conversations at these times and so it is always worth being attentive.
Like any sport, hunting has its own vocabulary. Picking up the hunting lingo by knowing these terms and using them correctly will help newcomers become a dab hand at hunting in no time. Top terms to know are:
- Jump – In hunting circles the word 'jump' is a verb and not a noun. Those in the know will talk about 'jumping fences', not 'doing jumps', despite fences often being referred to as hunt jumps.
- Hunt – A 'hunt' is the collective noun for the institution. It is also the period of time the hunt is actively following a trail. It does not refer to the day (which is called a 'day's hunting').
- Run – The active period of following hounds as they follow a trail across country is referred to as a 'run'.
- Country – The word 'country' is used by hunting people to describe the geographical area over which a hunt operates with two distinct meanings. It can refer to the type of ground a specific hunt usually crosses or it can refer to the actual geographical reach over which they hunt. Each hunt has a clearly defined country within which its meets are held.
- Good Morning / Good Night – Hunting people will greet each other at the beginning of the day with 'good morning' and, whatever time they go home, they will say 'good night'. This is just the way it is and does not mean they have lost their marbles.
It is easy to be impressed by beautiful horses and immaculately turned out riders. However, one thing hunting teaches is never to judge by first appearances. Here are a few examples:
- The man in scruffy tweed and wellies who holds open a gate is quite probably the owner of the farm or estate on which the hunt is taking place. Greet every person on this basis and novices won't go wrong.
- Not every good hunter would fare well in a showing class. Not judging by appearances also applies to horses. Sometimes the ugliest of animals will be a spectacular hunter. Amateur hunters can usually spot these horses by the warm greeting other riders give them, often referring to them by name.
- Follow the elderly fellow in the faded coat. When crossing difficult country, do not follow the dashing man on the fine steed, but rather the elderly fellow in a faded coat who knows every inch of the country and will know the safest crossing places. He or she will neither waste time nor energy, preserving these for a serious run and they will invariably be right up there at the end.
There are many people involved in hunting and it is often very tricky to tell the key members apart. When it comes to the mounted field, there are a few types to look out for:
- Masters and Officials – Once the day begins, everyone is equal. But some are more equal than others! These are the Masters and Officials who run the day. The Huntsman, Whippers In and the Field Master should be easy to spot. The next most important person is the Hunt Secretary who will welcome hunters as they arrive and collect the cap. This is the money hunters pay at the beginning of the day, which goes towards the management of the hunt, including looking after the hounds.
- Thrusters – These are the people who ride at the very front of the field, usually as close to the Field Master as they can get. They will dazzle with their courage and impress with their tenacity. Many of them will be very experienced and skilled riders. However, they may not be the best people to emulate. Newcomers to hunting will learn a great deal more if they observe more modest riders who watch hounds and conserve their horse's energy.
- Children – Younger hunters on small ponies may appear sweet, yet never underestimate them. Many will have been hunting since they were toddlers and will out-gallop and out-jump the best adult riders. They are easy to spot by the determined glint in their eyes and their quiet manner. Follow them at your peril!
- Pilot – Newcomers will quickly learn that some people never refuse at fences. Outward appearances may not make this obvious. For those wanting to follow someone over a fence who is going to give ones horse a good lead, be attentive and work out who is a good pilot and, if possible, slot in behind them. A good indicator is a quiet rider on a happy-looking horse.
- The rest – Old hunting prints would have us believe that almost everyone dazzles and jumps their way across country. In fact, there are often more who don't do this than those that do. Surtees once said: "Happy are they who hunt for their own pleasure – and not to astonish others". Within every hunt, there are those who simply ride at their own pace, go through the gates and avoid difficult situations. They may not astonish others, but they will certainly be enjoying themselves.
Lycetts Festival of Hunting is organised by The East of England Agricultural Society, in association with Addo Events. The event takes place on Wednesday 18th July, at the East of England Showground, Peterborough.

Special Guests Announced For Horse Charity's Open Day!
Two special guests will be making an appearance at Redwings Horse Sanctuary's free open day on Sunday 15th July.
Adoption Star donkey Esther will be welcoming visitors to Redwings' Hapton headquarters, south of Norwich, when the horse rescue charity hosts a day of tours, demonstrations, food and fun this month.
Esther was just two months old when she was rescued from the horrors of Spindle Farm, Amersham, in January 2008. She was so weak from the neglect she had suffered that when she arrived at Redwings she had to be carried off the horsebox.
Now happy and healthy, Esther lives at Redwings' Caldecott visitor centre, near Great Yarmouth, but is making the special trip to attend the open day in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of her rescue.
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service will also be returning by popular demand to give a fascinating and dramatic demonstration of how they rescue animals in tricky situations using one of their training model horses.
Although Redwings has visitor centres across the UK, its headquarters – home to its largest Rehoming Centre and Horse Hospital – opens just once a year to the public.
Redwings' Chief Executive Lynn Cutress, said: "We're delighted to be welcoming Esther to our Hapton Open Day. Ten years ago, the image of this little donkey being carried off the horsebox became a global symbol of the neglect that took place at Spindle Farm.
"Today she remains an inspirational symbol of the recoveries made by so many of the Amersham survivors and the happy lives they now enjoy. We can't wait for people to meet her and find out more about her story in this special anniversary year – and we know she will adore all the fuss and cuddles too!
"We're also thrilled to welcome back Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, whose fascinating demonstration of how they rescue horses, was one of the many highlights of last year's open day. It's definitely not to be missed!"
The open day, which will run from 10am to 4pm, will include tours of the hospital by Redwings' own veterinary team, including a special tour designed just for young children. During the vet tour, everyone has the chance to meet rescued horses and donkeys and find out how the charity cares for its 1,500 residents – of which almost 350 live at its 350-acre Hapton site!
Redwings' rehoming team will also be showcasing how the charity trains its horses – many of whom arrive at the Sanctuary either semi-feral or having never been handled – with the aim of helping them find loving new homes outside the Sanctuary as part of the charity's rehoming programme.
And there will be plenty of opportunities to get hands-on with the horses with pony grooming and self-guided walks around the centre's paddocks, so don't forget your good footwear. Look out too for cheeky mascots Red and Wings who will be dropping by to meet everyone!
After all that fun, visitors can relax with their pick of hot and cold refreshments, as well as browse a bring 'n' buy sale, a tack sale and Redwings' own pop-up shop full of exclusive gifts with all proceeds going towards the care of the charity's rescued residents.
Redwings Open Day is completely free and will take place on Sunday 15th July, from 10am to 4pm, at Redwings Hapton, Norwich, Norfolk, NR15 1SP.

Staying Ahead of Strangles
Simple and effective ways to protect horses and yards from the highly infectious disease strangles is the theme of Redwings Horse Sanctuary's latest free evening of expert talks.
Did you know, as reported in Redwings' 2016 Strangles Survey, despite 80% of owners being willing to pay for their horse to be tested for strangles, only 13% of yards have any form of strangles screening for new arrivals in place?
With outbreaks of the highly contagious respiratory disease strangles continuing to occur across the country, awareness and implementation of effective biosecurity measures has never been more important. And we can significantly reduce the risk of strangles simply by taking a few positive and proactive steps in how we care for our horses.
Redwings' "Strangles: Staying a step ahead" seminar is taking place at the charity's Aylsham Visitor Centre, north of Norwich, on Wednesday 25th July from 6.30pm and will be of particular interest to livery yard managers and their clients.
Attendees will be treated to a presentation by Redwings' Head of Welfare and Behaviour Nic de Brauwere who will be sharing valuable prevention and management advice. The evening will also offer practical solutions for balancing biosecurity while also being part of an active equestrian community.
Nic will also be on hand to answer any questions attendees may have, and everyone will go home with a goody bag of free resources and information.
Andie Vilela, Education and Campaigns Manager, said: "We're delighted to be offering another free seminar, especially one that is so important in our campaign to 'Stamp Out Strangles'. Myth-busting, practical advice and effective solutions based on real-life scenarios are the key topic of this evening event, so it's one definitely not to be missed. And we think livery yard managers in particular will find this seminar particularly useful!"

Olympian Red Gorilla Rider Sharon Hunt to Star at Hickstead Meeting
The Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby Meeting 21st – 24th June 2018, one of the most popular events in the equestrian calendar, sees Sharon Hunt, bronze medallist champion at the 2012 British Olympics competing as the Red Gorilla sponsored rider.
Sharon has been a Red Gorilla ambassador for over a year and has been using the total stable management package. Her decision to compete was a last minute entry and will bring some great excitement to the meeting as one of her horses Loughnatousa Venture was in winning form in the foxhunter at the Suffolk Show. Sharon hopes he will be winning form again in the classes she will be competing in.
Around 45,000 spectators are expected to flock to the West Sussex showground in June, with visitor numbers peaking during the famous Al Shira'aa Derby on the Sunday afternoon. The Derby course is fearsomely tricky, with iconic obstacles such as the Derby Bank, the Devil's Dyke and the double of water ditches guaranteeing plenty of thrills and spills for spectators.
To celebrate this great event, Red Gorilla in conjunction with Sharon Hunt Eventing will be offering a lucky person who attends the show a chance to win a coaching session with Sharon at her stables. In addition Weatherbeeta, the leading supplier of horse rugs will be giving the lucky winner one of their WB CFT Classic Lightweight turnout rugs as an additional prize. The one lucky winner will also be the face of Red Gorilla in the equine promotional and publicity material for the season. To enter simply visit the Red Gorilla stand 30 at the shopping village for an entry form.
