JOKER's Plot May Have
Online And It Sounds Like A Seriously Weird DC Movie -
Following a number of test screenings, details about
have reportedly found their way online, and we have some major
about what's to come in the bizarre sounding origin story for the villain.
Josh Wilding
Filed Under: "
Splash Report
opened to positive reviews earlier this year, and while it didn't make the biggest of impacts at the box office, it helped keep the DC Extended Universe on the right path established by
's $1 billion success. Next up for Warner Bros., though, is a very different type of DC Comics adaptation; the standalone
movie starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Now, a reliable source who has shared accurate details about a number of movies and TV shows in the past claims to have some intel from test screenings for the movie that finally reveal what we can expect from the Clown Prince of Crime's origin story.
There are major spoilers here, including some big twists and turns and even how things play out in the final act (those particular details come from a different source, but one that lines up with what we've heard from this reputable sounding leak). Needless to say, this could be controversial!
So, to check out these
details, simply click on the "View List" button down below.
It's said that
takes place in Gotham City in 1981, and the iconic DC Comics location is at its lowest point with a crime wave and garbage strike leaving it dirtier and more dangerous than ever.
Arthur Fleck is just a nobody who works as a clown for a talent booking agency and he has a social worker keeping a close eye on him because he has some serious mental health issues. Those include an uncontrollable habit of laughing whenever he's nervous, something which doesn't help with his desire to become a stand-up comic.
He's also a caretaker for his mother, a former housekeeper for the Wayne family...
Thomas Wayne's Mission
As expected, Thomas Wayne is running to become the new Mayor of Gotham City, and he promises to clean up the city (both literally and figuratively). He's a good man but has been ignoring his former employee, as Fleck's mother has spent months trying to contact him to no avail.
She's as deranged as her son, though, so it's hardly a surprise that he's not reading her correspondence.
Arthur's Downfall
Fleck ends up losing his job and that appears to be the final nail in the coffin for his fractured psyche. After being mocked on the subway, he violently kills three Wall Street guys who are also harassing a young woman and these murders inspire a "Resist" movement against Gotham's wealthy elite.
With Thomas Wayne viewed as the "voice of the rich," the poor start turning on him. While this is happening, Arthur tries his hand at stand-up during an open mic night at a local comedy club. His set completely bombs, and footage of his performance ends up being sent to
Live With Murray Franklin.
The TV show host, played by Robert De Niro, wastes no time in ridiculing poor Arthur.
The Big Reveal
The cops are investigating Arthur for his involvement in those murder,s but he's busy reading one of his deranged mother's letters to Thomas Wayne and stumbles across a pretty major revelation.
She claims that Arthur is the illegitimate son of Thomas Wayne and that makes Joker the half-brother of Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman, a twist which has been rumoured ever since last year.
That's it from
Splash Report
but we've done some digging and found several other leaks online which line up with this one. However, major spoilers (including how Joker ends) now follow...
...Or Not!
Arthur later learns that while his mother was obsessed with Thomas, they never actually slept together and he's not his son after all. However, she was aware that her boyfriend (and presumably his real father) was sexually abusing Arthur when he was a young child, so he heads to Arkham Asylum and kills her.
At this point, he's invited on to
Live With Murray Franklin
but fully embraces his new persona as The Joker while all of this is happening, and he murders several people who have wronged him.
Zazie Beetz's character isn't among them, despite the fact that his feelings for her were extremely one-sided and past leaks have claimed that he kills her after being rejected earlier in the movie.
The Joker appears on that talk show but shoots Franklin in the head on air and proceeds to deliver a speech that riles up Gotham City's citizens and encourages them to rise up against the wealthy.
A riot breaks out, and it's during this that Thomas and Martha Wayne end up being gunned down (thereby providing a very different twist on the Clown Prince of Crime's origin story). The police chase Arthur down and finally catch and arrest him after he's hit by a passing taxi. The movie then ends with him in Arkham Asylum, and he's so out of his mind by this point, he dances around his cell.
Apparently, that's a recurring theme in the movie and while this scene is set to Frank Sinatra's "That's Life," the sequence of him dancing down those steps is to Elton John's "Benny And The Jets."
Not That Much Joker
Other details revealed include the fact that
is a hard R and only features Fleck in costume for around the last 30 minutes. Splash Report goes so far as to say that,
"I am guaranteeing an Oscar nomination for Joaquin Phoenix. His Arthur Fleck is incredible. For a while, I thought his Johnny Cash would be his signature performance. I think we'll be proven wrong in 5 months."
They add that,
"Robert De Niro has a very juicy role, and he could potentially be in the conversation come award season."
Whether fans will embrace the film in the same way is hard to say, especially as it takes so many liberties with the source material based on this intel.
This plot leak differs somewhat to the one that found its way online last year, but there are definite similarities and it's possible that reshoots have changed the structure of the film to remove some of the controversial elements such as Thomas actually being Arthur's father. There's lots to discuss here regardless, and while it sounds like a good movie, will it be a good comic book movie?
Continue reading below for a recap of the biggest reveals from
's set photos!
Meet Arthur Fleck
Our first look
at Joaquin Phoenix's "Arthur Fleck" came via
director Todd Phillips but it took no time at all for set photos to surface featuring a maniacal looking Arthur having a good laugh on Amusement Mile.
Arthur could be seen leaving "Ha Ha's" talent agency looking miserable as sin before being confronted by a guy dressed as a clown, cracking a joke, and then giving his nose a good squeeze. Perhaps Arthur feels at this point in time that comedians like that are beneath him but little does he know what's in store for him moving forward...
The Joker Is Revealed
The test video featuring Phoenix decked out in his Joker makeup which was shared by Phillips generated an awful lot of discussion but our best look at the Clown Prince of Crime came courtesy of
some revealing set photos
In those, we saw what will presumably be the villain's final look as he could be seen with green hair, a colourful suit, and smeared makeup which definitely gives him a menacing vibe. It appeared as if he had incited some sort of riot on the subway and in a video which was also shared at the time, we saw protesters attacking Thomas Wayne in the background.
"The Losers' Club"
Bryan Callen's male stripper
was also spotted on set
fairly early on and it appears as if he belongs to the same talent agency as Arthur and that overweight clown we mentioned at the start of this post. Presumably, they're all looking for their big break in Gotham City and it should be interesting seeing what role, if any, these apparent "friends" of Arthur's have on his journey.
Arthur's Obsession
We don't know much about Zazie Beetz's Sophie Dumont beyond the fact that she lives in the same apartment building as Arthur and is the object of his affections.
In these intriguing photos
, he could seemingly be seen stalking Sophie through Gotham and she's definitely not her normal glam self.
Thomas Wayne Is Running For Mayor
Recent casting additions
have revealed that Bruce Wayne does indeed exist in this world and that Alfred Pennyworth will also be making an appearance. That probably means no Batman but Thomas is clearly a busy man at this point in time because
photos have confirmed
that he's running for mayor!
That goes some way in explaining how The Joker has so much support from Gotham City's citizens as the last thing the disenfranchised probably want is a billionaire running things.
Stalking Turns To Love?
Despite the fact that it appears as if Arthur is stalking Sophie at one point in the movie,
later images
showed the two of them catching up in a diner...before he breaks into a maniacal laugh!
Does that mean she eventually falls for Arthur only for something to happen to her which pushes the already unhinged Arthur over the edge? That certainly seems like one fairly likely possibility.
The Joker May Be The Movie's Hero
While The Joker has his fair share of followers in the comics, they're normally Arkham Asylum escapees. In this movie, however, it appears as if those who aren't in the 1% will rally behind the Clown Prince of Crime and
many extras have been seen
holding up signs saying they want him to become mayor. Could it be that he'll eventually run against Thomas Wayne? That would be...weird!
He's Also A Happy Clown
If you're wondering
where Arthur gets the idea
to become a clown, it seemingly stems from him being forced to degrade himself by dressing up as a clown and holding one of those signs on the street pointing people to deals they can find in nearby stores.
That presumably comes as a result of his stand-up career being a complete failure and the make-up he's wearing resembles what we later see him in as does the green wig so this is definitely the prototype "Joker" before he transforms into a full-blown baddie.
The Batmobile May Make An Appearance
This is far from confirmed but
one fan claims to have spotted the Batmobile
on the set of the movie and it was almost identical to the version the Caped Crusader drove in the 1960s TV series.
Seeing as Phoenix's Joker is also heavily inspired by Caesar Romero's, it would make sense for Batman to have that version of his car in this movie but it's just as likely that this was for a random event nearby and isn't associated with the movie in any way. Still, the prospect of Batman appearing in some form is definitely intriguing, especially now we know Bruce Wayne will show up.
A First Look At Thomas Wayne
There's been a lot of speculation that Arthur will be outed as the illegitimate son of Thomas Wayne and
these photos
definitely pointed to him trying to get the billionaire's attention as Phoenix was spotted trying to chase him down before tumbling to the floor. We know his mother may be connected to Thomas in some way so perhaps he's acting on her behalf during this embarrassing fall.
A Potentially Major Spoiler
one of the biggest spoilers we've seen to date
, The Joker was seen being hauled away in the back of a police cruiser while laughing like a maniac. In all honesty, this could be something which happens at the halfway point but it's hard not to wonder if these shots could ultimately be from the final act as the cops finally catch up to Gotham City's new Clown Prince of Crime.
We'll have to wait and see but I don't think the plot will be as simple as The Joker being arrested and being made to pay for his crimes! My guess is he's the one who kills Thomas and Martha...
The Joker Goes On The Run
Shooting is currently taking place so we'll update this post accordingly and
the latest round of images
have shown Phoenix's villain being chased down by Shea Whigham and Bill Camp's cops.
His make-up is pretty much flawless at this point in time so it's highly likely that we're seeing Arthur shortly after he first transforms into the Clown Prince of Crime and starts causing chaos...

The AAdvantage Shopping Portal is offering 35 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent at ebags.com, compared to the usual seven miles per dollar spent. This has the potential to be extremely lucrative since ebags.com sells a huge variety of luggage, bags, etc., mostly at very competitive prices.
I value AAdvantage miles at 1.8 cents each, so to me that's like getting back 63 cents for every dollar spent at ebags.com. You don't actually have to use a Citi AAdvantage credit card as long as you go through the portal, so you can use another more rewarding credit card for the purchase while still earning 35 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent.
Ebags.com carries most major luggage brands, including many Tumi products, and ground shipping is free within the US for orders over $25. Their prices are competitive with other retailers, and in many states you don't have to pay sales tax when making purchases through them, so they can end up being even cheaper.
In theory it could make sense to purchase bags with the intention of reselling them. If you value AAdvantage miles similarly to me, you're basically buying luggage at 63% off, so even if you take a loss on the resale you could still come out way ahead.
It's also worth noting many items are eligible for free two-day shipping through Shoprunner, which is offering eligible American Express cardholders a complimentary 1-year membership.
It's anyone's guess how long this will last, so I'd definitely take advantage of this sooner rather than later.

April 2019
Turkish steel fastener specialist Berdan Civata is delivering hundreds of tonnes of its products to the jobsite of the record-breaking Canakkale 1915 bridge being built over the Dardanelles Strait in the Canakkale province of Turkey.
Canakkale 1915, located on the western end of the Marmara Sea, is expected to be the world's longest suspension bridge once completed.
Berdan Civata was awarded a contract by the consortium of Daelim and SK Engineering & Construction (SK E&C), along with Turkish companies Limak Holding and Yapi Merkezi, to manufacture steel anchor bolts and relevant fastening components for the project, says a spokesman for Berdan Cıvata.
Berdan Cıvata is one of Turkey's most experienced steel fastening manufacturing companies, hosting a fully-equipped and the only accredited test laboratory in its sector. It is manufacturing 762 sets of M85 x 10,178-mm 10.9 class of anchor bolts and its relevant components for the Çanakkale 1915 bridge project.
The steel suspension bridge, with three lanes in both directions, is expected to be opened in 2023, the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey.
The 1915 Canakkale Bridge, located between Gallipoli and Lapseki, is part of the Malkara-Canakkale section of the Kinali-Tekirdag-Canakkale-Savastepe Motorway Project.
The bridge will have a 2,023-m central span and total length of 4,608 m, while the Gallipoli approach viaduct will be 900 m long and the Lapseki approach viaduct will be 650 m long. It will surpass the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Japan, the current record holder at 1,991 m span length.
After completion, it will be the longest bridge in Turkey and surpass the Izmit Bay Crossing suspended bridge (Osmangazi Bridge), which has a central span 1,550 m and holds the title for the second longest bridge in Europe and the fourth longest in the world.
For this project as well, Berdan Civata supplied 10.9 class of anchorbolts to its Japanese contractor, IHI Infastructure Systems.
Founded in Tarsus, Turkey, in 1970 with a team of five people on a 150-sq-m area, Berdan Cıvata now operates on 33,000-sq-m premises in the Tarsus Mersin Organised Industrial Zone (OIZ) with 295 employees.
Berdan Civata has been a reference manufacturer of many mega projects that include energy transmission lines, stadium projects, railways, petrochemical and steel structures. Some of the projects include the Cyprus Water Supply, where it supplied 6,500 hours of salt-spray tested special fasteners for water pipelines submerged 250 m in the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to North Cyprus; the Trans-Anatolia natural gas pipeline projects; the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant; as well as wind energy projects of the world's biggest wind turbine manufacturers.
Berdan Civata has its own heat treatment and eco-friendly surface treatment facilities such as hot-dip galvanising, electro plating, zinc flakes, metalising and xylan coating. For its 10.9 grade bolts, the hydrogen embrittlement risk is eliminated by using eco-friendly coating facility, the methodology of which is patented.

Wednesday, 11th April – 2nd day of the visit
One of the most extended jobs in Iniesta and its nearby towns is growing mushrooms. Mushrooms of Iniesta are exported to all europe and the Erasmus+ partners liked to know more about the process of preparing the caves, growing and recollecting them. Even they could taste them directly from the caves. An interesting activity…
The local museum (the archaeological museum) was the next place to know more about Iniesta and its culture. We want to thank to Javier, the local museum guide, for his explanations that delighted to the students (even to spanish ones).
Here are some pictures of the activity.

As you cook, certain unnecessary elements might crop up like steam, heat, smoke, odors, and tiny particles of oil and grease. Cooktops like gas stoves and ranges spread harmful nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide along with smoke that reeks of grease.
If you do not take care of your kitchen, then it's double the mess and eventually, this can lead to a kitchen area that has reduced value. One way to make the kitchen a safer, cleaner place is by installing a range hood.
What is a range hood, though? This unit takes away all unclean air by means of ducted installation or cleans it by way of filters or ductless installation.
This article will discuss all you need to know about range hoods, but if you want to learn about products available, make sure to read range hood reviews, too.
Range hoods are helpful and beneficial to have on hand since they suck up the heated, damp, and greasy streams of air and smoke generated by cooking. No longer will the air in your kitchen be rank and full of odors.
The range hood will do its job of eliminating those annoyances. Any avid cooking enthusiast or chef will agree that there is a difference between cooking in a comfortable environment and tolerating a hot kitchen for a good number of hours.
There are models of overhead range hoods which supplement your cooking with lighting so you can focus on your project. One of the factors one has to take into account when buying a range hood is the quantity of light and the type of light the model offers, whether it is fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, or a combination of those types.
Remember that the bulb wattage does not have to be high because the hood will be situated nearer to the cooktop than the overhead lights in the kitchen.
Maintaining a cooking area that is free from grease and contaminants will keep it clean and free from mold and bacteria. Grease and moisture produced while cooking settles on kitchen surfaces and can leave a tacky, ugly film on counters and cabinets.
However, with t a kitchen hood, these contaminants will be eliminated, making cleanups and maintenance procedures easier and faster. High-tech range hoods even provide features that allow the unit to operate on a 10 to 1-minute timer after cooking.
And just because a device is designed to be functional does not mean that it will not have a sleek and attractive look. Range hoods today come with designs that will easily suit modern kitchens.
You will notice that the range hoods in commercial and professional establishments are beautifully designed. They become the focal point of the entire kitchen.
There are lots of range hoods with different styles—you can get classic ones that can fit kitchens with a country feel or get one that has a contemporary style. You won't be challenged to find one that matches your kitchen because of the great selection of designs available.
There are indeed many positive reasons why your kitchen requires a range hood. You can begin your hunt by finding what kind of range hood you need, whether you want something mounted on the wall or a unit that will fit your kitchen island.
You will also deal with prices and a slew of other factors apart from your needs and the style you are after.
Remember that the range hood is a typical appliance meaning it requires installation. Those costs have to be added into your allotted budget for the device.
The installation can be dealt with by a professional at a reasonable cost. It is also crucial to remember that users have to check the requirements for installation with the manufacturer or the seller before buying.
The Different Kinds of Range Hoods
When shopping for range hoods, you have to know the different so you can determine which among the bunch you need for your kitchen. If you want to make your search easier and acquire more information about products, you can refer to range hood reviews, too.
Under cabinet
The under cabinet type of range hood fastens to the bottom of the cabinet, which is located on top of the cooktop. This model can be found in a variety of designs and strengths.
If the model features a flue, it is also called a chimney hood. If you have cabinets above your range, it is important to take them away so the hood can fit and perform its tasks properly.
Wall mount
The wall mount type of range hood is the same as the under cabinet models, except they fasten to the wall instead of the cabinets
The island type of range hood dangles from the ceiling over a kitchen island. If the oven serves as part of the island, having a hood is a great way to ventilate the kitchen.
This kind of range hood comes in lots of designs from curved metal, to glass canopies, to the more standard designs.
The downdraft kind of range hood is concealed. They only appear when they are in use. It pulls in smoke and steam in a horizontal manner all over the cooking surface.
Insert/power pack
These range hoods are hidden, much like the downdraft kind. They are built into the cabinet on top of the cooking surface.
Pro hood
The pro hood is bigger than the standard under cabinet hood. They have a bigger size and a more professional look. They also contain more power than regular ones.
This is for homeowners who cook frequently. It comes in a good selection of styles.
Features of a Range Hood
Here are some of the features that you will find in range hoods. Keep in mind that different hoods provide different settings so you have to check a variety of models before you get one that has all the attributes you need.
Automatic shutoff
Having this feature means users can set the fan of the device off following a particular period of time.
Change filter indicator
This feature usually come in the form of lights and it indicates when the range requires cleaning or the filter has to be replaced.
Heat sensor
Whenever the device perceives too much heat, this feature will modify the fan speed of the unit automatically.
Certain models of range hoods contain 1-4 light to illuminate the cooking surface. If you often cook at night, you can opt for a model with a low-light level.
There are other lighting options too, ranging from LED, to halogen, to incandescent.
Range Hood Maintenance
Range hoods serve a crucial role when it comes to cooking procedures. They have to take away odors, heat, and smoke from the cooking area.
Including a range hood that is taken care of properly in the kitchen means that your home will not have unwanted odors and the air inside it will be kept fresh and clean at all times.
Vent hoods include a metal sheath that strains the food particles and fat from cooking. They can be taken away from the device and cleaned using warm, soapy water.
In the majority of cases, they can be washed in the dishwasher as well. But prior to washing those filters, it is recommended that you read the manual of the unit.
The filters do not require changing. They are durable and apt to provide long years of service.
Ventless hoods, meanwhile, are not capable of filtering cooking air outside the kitchen and so need an extra filter to take away bad odors before allowing the air to flow back into the kitchen. These come with a metal filter which can be cleaned in the same manner as the vent hood. They also come with a charcoal filter.
The charcoal takes in the smells and eventually requires replacements. In the majority of cases, the charcoal is fixed into the chief metal filter and removal of the clips to change the charcoal requires little to no effort.
These charcoal filters are affordable and as soon as you have changed the item the first time, replacement work will be a breeze for you. You have to change filters at least every 6 months.
However, the replacement will also be based on the regularity of your cooking, whether you cook daily or a few times every week. If you cook constantly, the filters might need to be changed every 3 months.

6 Facility Types That Benefit From The Use of Mobile Office Trailers
Mobile office trailers are a flexible, fast and economical solution for an increasing number of applications. The use of prefabricated portable buildings extends beyond construction sites and temporary classrooms. Before we get into the facility types that benefit from the use of Mobile Office Trailers we will look at some of the key benefits of using a Mobile trailer in the first place.
Features & Benefits of Mobile Trailers
Mobile or modular trailers are typically paid over a specific time period, or as part of a mix of adjustable housing inventory. Individual dealers work with their customers to find the best arrangement, and help them maximize the surprising number of advantages mobile office buildings offer.
Size Selection
Prefabricated buildings are made in various standard sizes, which are manufactured in assembly-line quantities for savings and convenience. Exact dimensions vary in different states, but are generally available in two classifications: Standard Single-Wide of about 8'x20' (160 sq. feet) to 14×70 (980 sq. Feet), and Multi-Module Complexes of 24'x32' and up.
Modular construction trailers offer several degrees of customization, from choosing options within standard layouts, to combining units together to utilize a particular space. If a standard size does not meet your requirements, individual customization is available too.
Construction Quality
Perhaps surprisingly, modular trailers typically use better materials and are more durable and well-designed than traditional site-built structures. This is not only because the prefabricated manufacturing process rewards competent design and materials, but because the resulting product must withstand the added stresses of transport and installation. A commercial office trailer also must comply with both national and local building codes.
Installation Speed
Modular building can be delivered quickly, reducing production lag time and quickly ramping up operations as needed. Construction happens remotely, regardless of weather limitations, so the site can be prepared as the building is completed. Set up can be easy or complex, depending upon the building, but it will be faster than building a site from scratch.
Modular buildings can be added or removed to optimize space. This provides the scaling capacity to adjust housing inventory—reducing cost exposure as needed, while maintaining the ability to add more units in case of increased demand.
Environmental Friendliness
Modular construction reduces waste through a more efficient building process and by minimizing site disturbance. Recycling is also a routine part of the recovery process.
Some of the main components & features that can be included in our modular structures are noted below:
- Advanced security systems to protect the structure's contents
- Sound-proofed walls for improved privacy
- Customized lighting solutions suitable for medical work
- Climate-control to create suitable working conditions
- Load-bearing floors to support heavy equipment
- Piping to help the transport of clean water
- Designated waiting areas for patients
- Custom workstations to perform medical research and testing
- Fitted storage units for medical equipment
The above only lists a small sample of what our modular buildings can include – we can customize your structure in a variety of ways to create the perfect medical solution for your business.
Facilities that Benefit from Modular Buildings
The versatility of modular structures makes them a positive solution in many situations. Here are some examples:
Medical Facilities
New, clean, quality construction and fast installation makes modular space an increasingly popular choice for medical care facilities. Hospitals can manage patient flow and maintain administrative housing with flexible leasing arrangements. Modular buildings function as flexible "just-in-time" medical structures, or as temporary facilities while site-built housing is completed.
Check out this article: Ontario Mobile Office Trailers & Portable Offices Used as Temporary Healthcare Clinics
Temporary Buildings
A modular unit is an excellent temporary office trailer, such as for real estate subdivision sales offices and other short-term projects. It is much quicker to install a modular building than to complete on-site construction, and the unit can be removed when its purpose is fulfilled. By offering speedy installation and removal, quality modular office trailers can be very economical.
Standalone Solutions
If your needs can be met with available standard sizes, mobile office buildings are an excellent way to resolve an issue that might otherwise require a large financial outlay. You can avoid the time and effort of constructing a one-off structure, and tailor your lease to meet the situation.
One common example is a seasonal concession stand or on-site administrative office. A prefab building can provide space for an employee break area or even a small gym. Modular trailers are also valuable for properties subject to flooding or other conditions that require periodic relocation.
Emergency Shelter
Because of fast and responsive delivery, modular buildings are often used as emergency relief shelters or worker housing in crisis locations. These units can be delivered and installed rapidly, and their number can be easily increased or decreased to match the situation. This aspect makes mobile housing useful anywhere it is needed, which includes meeting new opportunities too.
As a bonus, modular buildings don't pose the hazards of other hastily provided shelter. There is no unsafe or shoddy construction work caused by inadequate time constraints. With a turnaround time of hours instead of months, prefab units are an important asset for most relief organizations.
Remote Buildings
Modular office buildings are highly advantageous whenever a building is needed in the middle of nowhere. The cost of building onsite in remote locations is prohibitive because of the distance the materials and craftsmen must travel.
Mobile trailers can be delivered to almost anywhere that has a suitable road. Convenient portability makes these buildings useful for camping outposts and other rural housing needs, including remote stores and office space.
Specialized Habitation
Quality design and materials used for modular buildings make them excellent for human habitation in its many forms. Portable prefab units have been engineered to include the basic features of any well-built home, to the point it can be difficult to detect the difference between site-built and modular housing. The robust construction of modular buildings is well-suited to housing groups in otherwise untenable locations.
Oil camps are a special challenge that modular buildings conveniently solve. Workers can be given comfortable housing until the field is depleted. Military camps are another application that uses modular housing, with the useful potential to a accommodate any number of troops.
Many business are finding they can better manage their needs through flexible, quality prefab structures, so that they can focus on their main purposes and avoid begin bogged down in construction complications and permitting details. You can find used mobile offices or office trailers for sale Ontario at Christie's RV.
If you need a building expansion–or want a more responsive way to manage your housing inventory–it makes sense to consider modular buildings as an option. You are likely to find that modular installation is a solution that offers cost savings … and a higher level of benefits too.

This is a question which many people seem to want the answer to, and today it seems that most think that they can get there on their own. Which is strange because I only know of One way and that is through the grace given to us through Jesus Christ by God Himself. The Bible clearly states that there is no other way except through Him, yet many religions on Earth tell many people a much different story.
Many of them say that there is no Heaven, or that you can do many good deeds for people in your lifetime and you will be granted a place there, so say that you will come back here until you get everything just right and then you will be allowed in. All of them are wrong.
You can, of course, believe what you wish to believe about life after death in this world but when that day comes then the Truth will be known. What will you be able to say when you stand before God and Jesus on that day? If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you will bow before Him and thank Him for your salvation. If you have rejected Him during your life here, then you will be shown the things that you have done in your life, things which you would've been granted forgiveness for, then you will be shown the times that you had heard a message or felt a call from Him and you ignored it.
It is your actions, your decision in this life which will determine whether you go to Heaven or not, the choice is yours to make and it must be made while you yet live. It is not God's choice to send you to hell if you choose not to accept Jesus as your Savior, it is yours. God doesn't want people to be sent there, but if they reject the grace offered through the atonement that was bought with Jesus' death, then He has no choice. Nothing that we are capable of doing during our life, if we are without Jesus, is good enough to get us into Heaven.
Only through accepting Jesus as your Savior and asking Him to come into your life and change you, to make you what He knows that you can be, is it even possible for you to be forgiven and get into Heaven. You can yell and scream about all of the evolutionary theories and atheistic nonsense that you want, but rejection of the grace offered by God is the only unforgivable sin. It is your choice, which will you choose?

In December 2012, a second fragrance was announced, Truth or Dare by Madonna: Naked.
The top note of Truth or Dare consists of essences from gardenia and tuberose, jasmine was embedded in the middle note, and the base was a mixture of vanilla and musk.

In real life, and especially in sales, it's your emotional quotient that will make you successful rather than your intelligence quotient. In this video, Bruce Keith gives you a formula for success.
Liked your E + R = O
Hello, Mr. Keith, I liked your topic of discussion. Please forgive me if I bring a change to your words from the grammar point of view. Would it be alright if we say emotional quotient vs intelligent quotient? The reason behind this change would be Adjective + Noun. Thank you for you patience! With best wishes!

Reblogged this on Complete Health Circle and commented:
"Our beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves create patterns. These patterns can be positive (creating "spirals of abundance" in our lives and those of others) or negative (creating "spirals of erosion"). Patterns reflect in behaviours and reinforce beliefs. We perpetuate stories and beliefs and create different types of structures around and inside us (not necessarily circles, sometimes these structures are pervasively hierarchical, linear or triangular, sometimes they are broken structures).
But no matter how square or hierarchical we want to build our structures, our systems are round: we all depend on each other, we all influence each other.
Patterns are not written in stone: minds and even hearts are malleable: we can change our behaviours by becoming aware of the beliefs and stories behind them. We can challenge the beliefs and create new patterns by testing a new behaviour, a new thought, a new "belief". We can write new stories.
Look at the circle of your body/soul, look at the circle of your life, look at the circle of your family, your friends, your community, the whole planet and its inhabitants.
Your ivory tower is crumbling…
The circle is as strong as its weakest link…
"Sometimes it happens that you become one, in some rare moment. Watch the ocean, the tremendous wildness of it–and suddenly you forget your split, your schizophrenia; you relax. Or, moving in the Himalayas, seeing the virgin snow on the Himalayan peaks, suddenly a coolness surrounds you and you need not be false because there is no other human being to be false to. You fall together."

April 1 (Bloomberg) — Presidents Barack Obama and Hu Jintao meet for the first time today to discuss a global economic crisis each is trying to combat with policies that may further complicate U.S.-China relations.
As they meet ahead of a gathering in London with other leaders from the Group of 20 advanced and emerging economies, the two presidents are directing a combined $1.4 trillion of stimulus spending.
While their efforts will soften the impact of the global recession, analysts say U.S. spending to stimulate demand and China's focus on investment in public works are likely to exacerbate the global imbalances that inflated asset bubbles and brought on the collapse of credit that helped trigger the current crisis.
The two countries remain locked in "an unhealthy embrace," said Charles Freeman, a U.S. trade negotiator who is now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "How we ease that embrace so we can stay embraced but not choke ourselves to death in the process is going to be a serious thing that we deal with in the next decade."
Obama's $787 billion stimulus package runs up budget deficits to be financed by more Chinese purchases of U.S. debt. Such a prospect leaves Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao "worried" about the safety of China's $740 billion holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, the world's largest, he said March 13.
China's Stimulus
Meanwhile, Hu's 4 trillion yuan ($585.4 billion) stimulus plan doesn't help build the domestic consumer demand that China needs to support its own industries and reduce its reliance on exports, says Ha Jiming, chief economist at China International Capital Corp. in Beijing.
The plan will "delay a rebalancing toward greater consumption-driven growth because about 75 percent of its spending is for infrastructure," Ha says.
Unless the two countries break a cycle that requires China to continue lending so the U.S. can keep spending, "we're headed to another major crisis, and it could be worse than this one," Stephen Roach, Morgan Stanley's Asia chairman in Hong Kong, said in an interview.
Obama administration officials say that, with the global economy forecast to shrink in 2009 for the first time in more than 60 years, this isn't the time to address such issues.
More Demand
"The old global-imbalances agenda was more demand in China, less demand in America," Lawrence Summers, director of Obama's National Economic Council, said in a Financial Times interview published March 8. "Nobody thinks that is the right agenda now. There's no place that should be reducing its contribution to global demand right now."
Roach and Ha say China's investment in public works needs to be accompanied by a bigger boost in spending on social security and health care. That might free up private savings for more domestic consumer spending, which could increasingly replace exports as a source of growth.
Roach called China's three-year, 850 billion-yuan plan to expand health-care coverage "peanuts," averaging less than $100 for each of China's 1.3 billion people.
China could also expand its social security fund. At the end of last year the fund had 562.5 billion yuan, or about $63 per person.
"I've been quite disappointed that they haven't done anything particularly aggressive on welfare," said Dwyfor Evans, a strategist with State Street Global Markets in Hong Kong. "They have the fiscal resources to do this. This would wipe out a great deal of the U.S.-China imbalances at a stroke."
'Superior System'
Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China's central bank, said in a March 26 speech that his government's "prompt, decisive and effective policy measures" are already showing results, demonstrating China's "superior system."
He said China's stimulus program is designed to boost domestic demand through interest rate cuts and spending in areas such as energy conservation and welfare, as well as infrastructure and industrial retooling.
Consumer spending represents more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy versus slightly more than 35 percent of China's, down from a 45 percent share a decade ago. In contrast, China's investment as a percentage of GDP has been rising since 2001 and now stands at 43 percent, higher than earlier historical peaks in Japan in the 1970s and South Korea in 1997, according to Ha.
Openness to Change
China may signal openness to change at tomorrow's G-20 summit. Hu told the official Xinhua News Agency yesterday that the "international financial system should undergo necessary reforms in an all-around, balanced, gradual and effective manner to prevent a similar crisis in the future."
That's not enough, according to Roach, who said he told Chinese Premier Wen on March 23 that his government is still relying too much on exports and U.S. consumers to fuel growth.
"What I told him is that that is a big risk," Roach said. "The U.S. consumer is down for the count for a number of years and so the old formula which has served China extremely well for a long time is not going to be that helpful."

Patterns and the natural environment
Throughout my research project, one trend that had been particularly strong is the impact the natural environment has on the design and conceptual centre of buildings and spaces for people on the Autism spectrum. When I say the 'natural environment', I refer to the colours, shapes, textures, lighting and patterns that all, in one way or another, can be found as an occurrence in nature.
A few weeks ago now, I got the opportunity to meet with Dr Ute Leonards, a researcher in the School of Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol. One of the particularly interesting perspectives to come out of this meeting is the effects that patterns can have on a person and the way they can be settling or disruptive to a person, particularly if they're vulnerable. This vulnerable group can include the elderly, the injured, the ill and those with a disability or medical condition, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
As Dr Leonards explained, natural patterns, or ones that occur in nature, are more easily processed by the brain as they are something we expect to see in the world, whereas unnatural ones are more difficult to process. Waves from the ocean or circles on trees would be natural patterns and are, therefore, processed by the brain with little difficulty.
Most of the time, a perfectly able-bodied, neurotypical and generally healthy person wouldn't even notice the difficulties that patterns can create. However, it was pointed out that even the healthiest of people can be negatively affected by some patterns and contrasts and certain frequencies.
Since the human mind tends to agree with natural patterns, perhaps that's why so many of the buildings I've visited incorporate elements of the natural.
The natural environment has also impacted on some building's designs themselves. While in France, I visited L'éveil du Scarabée (meaning "beetle awakening"), a residential complex developed around the concept of the beetle. The central pod of the complex is elongated and round, housing the community-driven services of the residence such as the teaching rooms, the nurses quarters, the cafe and teaching kitchen. The five 'legs' stemming from the central pod have four bedrooms, each with a large ensuite. During the building's development, the legs were created to try to alleviate the tension and anxiety often brought on by long corridors and dispel any semblance of a hospital or institution.
Lighting is another natural element utilised for the benefit of the residents. The staff at L'éveil du Scarabée utilise coloured LED lights to no only light the internal areas but also indicate the time of day and meals by strategically using different tones of light. This is designed as a technique to assist the residents to identify what time of day it is and what is going to happen at different points in the day. The housing complex opened in late 2014 and these techniques have worked well with the 20 people occupying the space.
Plants and the colour green have been common themes throughout the trip. One particularly striking example is Specialist Area Denmark's Senior's House. This elderly residential facility features deep green external and strategic internal walls at different shades of green to signify different internal spaces. Plants also form an important role on the inside for the citizen's as they are used both as privacy barriers and path-making tools for easier wayfinding around the building. All these factors contribute to the feeling that the external woodlands surrounding flows through to the inside as well, creating a peaceful and nurturing environment (to read more on Specialist Area Denmark, go to this post).
On the other end of the scale, is the unnatural. While sometimes referred to as modern and artistic, certain shapes, patterns and contrasts at particular frequencies can create problems for some people. During the meeting with Dr Leonards, she used the example of the newly refurbished Bristol Royal Infirmary which, for a multitude of reasons, has been observed to cause unrest for some of the more vulnerable people in the community. One end of the building is clearly older and made of a warm-toned brick in a 70s style, compared to the newer end which has metal facade panelling. Despite being in a completely foreign city to me, I remembered the building she was referring to, as it struck me as being quite cold and institution-like with no visible windows from the outside. Dr Leonards explained to me the metallic panelling at certain distances and at certain angles, creates lines in a way that is disruptive to the brain.
So while it is not the material itself that creates problems for some people, it is the way the material, pattern, colour etc. is used in the buildings we create. It is interesting that not only are natural patterns being incorporated into designs but other aspects of the natural environment as well, like colour, light and shapes. While there is no scientific proof, that I'm aware of, that these elements are beneficial to not only people on the spectrum (and neurotypical and able-bodied people as well), however, social and anecdotal evidence suggests the natural environment has a positive influence on people who use the spaces, so it's definitely something to consider when designing for people with ASD.

Coke Blak
I did the Coke Blak experiment over the weekend since I was finally able to find it for sale as a single bottle at a local 7-11. At first I thought, "Wow…this is a cool bottle design…huh only 45 calories." So after leaving said 7-11 I took the first sip…when the first word that came to my mind was "$***!" The first sip was like partial coffee…then on the second sip it tasted kind of like coke…never really tasting like either. Hardly the carbonated fusion beverage that Coke is selling this drink as. I only ended up about drinking about 1/4th of the bottle before I decided that I was done with this experiment and promptly disposed of the rest. I would never recommend this drink to anyone, it was that bad. Oh well…maybe Pepsi Kona is better?

Year-Round News & Updates on the Minnesota Timberwolves
Ricky Rubio Injury Update
The Minnesota Timberwolves got a nice surprise last Wednesday when Kevin Love returned to the floor weeks ahead of schedule. He's struggled a bit shooting the ball since returning in three games, however the Wolves are definitely a better ball club with him.
Minnesota's EVEN better with Ricky Rubio on the floor, too. This weekend we got some good news on that front. Rubio returned to Vail Colorado where the surgery was performed in hopes that his doctor with give him clearance to return to practice.
We've heard rumblings about him participating in 5-on-0 offensive walkthroughs, that he's shooting in practices and before games. We've seen him on Fox Sports North before games warming up and running up and down the floor, I haven't however seen him move laterally (side-to-side) which is VERY important.
It's no secret that the Wolves' starting backcourt is absolutely dreadful right now, let's face it: Luke Ridnour & Malcolm Lee just aren't 'cutting it'.
We all know that Ricky is a flashy passer who creates easy buckets for his teammates. However, what will be most appreciated upon his return is his defense. Ricky is a very good perimeter defender. Before the injury last season he was averaging 2.2 steals a game. He also does a very good job of keeping his opponent in front of him, bumping and hassling opponents from getting where they want to.
The hope is that Ricky will be cleared by his doctor and return to practice when the Wolves return to from that four-game West coast trip. The Wolves play the Kings on Tuesday and the Clippers on Wednesday. They'll have Thursday off before facing the Bucks at the Target Center and then they'll have the next three days off before returning to action vs. the 76ers in Philadelphia. I'd assume he'd return to practice during that three-day stretch (assuming he's cleared).
That's all for now, thanks for reading HOWL and GO WOLVES!

This poem is taken from Tesserae, my collection of poetry, available in paperback and E-book.
The greying days, the mellow days, the days of smoke and golden leaf.
The rueful days of darker and shorter, the summoning of a different magic.
The baleful days, the days of ceremony and ritual, fire and chant.
Days that are suspended on threads of dreams,
Days that tread hard upon our souls.
Days of distant memory, distant myth.
Days of frost and expectation, days of naked tree and lonely stone.
Days of folklore and ancient memory, days of song and story.
Days of remembrance, reflection, joy.
Days of ancestor, wisdom and the dead.
Days of shadow, mist and hope.
Days of sparks, wood and barrow,
Slumbering hearts and dreaming spirits.
Days that call, days that gleam with the flames of distant voices.
Days of honey, days of green.
Days of sun and bright-lit grove.
Days of laughter, plenty, glory,
Days of renewal, warmth and life.
Golden days, long days, days of dreaming beside brook and stream.
Days filled with the living, the fertile earth,
Days of youth, passion and birth.
Days of glistening glade and sunny meadows,
Days that are sun-blessed and free.
Moon days, sun days, the goddess and the god.
Days of the bear, days of the stag.
Nights filled with glimmering stars,
Bands of colour, myriad thoughts.
Nights of bliss and dormant pleasure,
Nights of power, rites and bliss.
Nights that bind and hold the soul,
Nights that reflect the old magic and give it purpose.
Nights of glorious ideas, nights of fury and dyeing gods.
Nights of glimmering, entrancing infinity,
Nights of bright fire and bold light.
Show us and find us;
We let you in to guide us.
Come close to us in these days and nights,
Bless us with your presence, your cold warmth.
Days and nights, magic and gods, ancestors and ritual.
Long expectant wonderings and long repeated dreams.
Memories that grow, memories that expand,
Memories that are gathered up by the harvest of the land.
Good days, bad days, long days, short days.
Warm nights, cold nights, nights that bring snow, nights that bring rain.
All the days spread behind us,
All the nights spread in front of us.
Gazing, watching, hoping, wishing,
Seeking, searching for the perfect union, the perfect time.
Days, all the many long days that make up a life,
All the days that make up a season, a time.
Days that rap themselves around our hearts and squeeze.
Days that make the land sacred and the spirit whole.
