Memo from revision-land
irgina Woolf famously wrote that to write fiction, a woman needed a room of one's own.
This summer, I've updated that line for the twenty-first century. To write fiction, a woman needs a user profile of her own.
Back in June, when my day job went on summer hiatus, I embarked on the goal of polishing my first-draft manuscript, written during NaNoWriMo last year, into second-draft stage by Labor Day. I'd made child care arrangements for my kids that were supposed to afford me 10-12 hours a week of uninterrupted writing time. My room–a corner of our basement TV room/play room – violated Virginia's recommendation, but with the kids elsewhere, I thought it would do. The 11 weeks of summer shimmered like an oasis.
Then I realized that, right out of the gate, the 11 weeks drop to nine because day camp for one child didn't start til the second week of summer and ends a week before school starts. Then the second week of summer, my day camper came down with pneumonia. My writing window shrank to eight weeks. As soon as he was healthy, the daycare provider for my younger child was struck by a minor injury that put her out of commission for a week. Down to seven.
Finally, mid-July already, everyone was healthy, everything's up and running –and our one-week vacation arrived. The shimmering oasis was rapidly becoming a mirage, with almost half my writing time gobbled up by sickness and scheduling changes, all out of my control. My best-laid plans had gone awry and I felt cheated and discouraged.
Fortunately, I've also been reading Guy Kawasaki's APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur this summer. This line jumped out: "The key to writing is the willingness to grind, polish and perfect your manuscript under lousy circumstances." Cue Plan B.
First I modified my goal. The uninterrupted hours simply were not occurring. So when we
returned from our vacation, I made my goal to write 250 words per day, or to spend 90 minutes editing. I knew I could fit that in before the kids woke up or after bedtime, and deliberately set the bar low, to insure I could build success. To insure accountability, I recruited a goal partner, who I stay in touch with by daily e-mails. I also keep a running "writing day" tally on our dining room white board. My daughter's become another accountability accomplice, updating the figure for me.
I also changed my work space. I couldn't contrive a room of my own, but I got the next best thing: a user profile my husband created for me on his laptop. When I log in, I can access all my cloud-saved documents like I was working on my own desktop. There is an Internet connection, but it doesn't have my bookmarked websites and saved passwords for social media sites.
Moreover, it's upstairs, out of the kid flow and away from the to-do lists and bills and other distractions that bog down my basement office space. And voila, my word counts and time goals started flowing past the mandatory minimums I established.
So here in revision-land, I can report Virginia was right. With a footnote that head space is as important as work space. Thomas Edison said that many people miss opportunity because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work. The Muse doesn't come knocking on your door; or at least not on mine. I have to create the conditions and then go more than halfway to meet her. But with three weeks of summer left, I'm headed toward a happy ending.

The Village of Algonquin, IL
Welcome to the website for the Village of Algonquin!
Woods Creek Watershed Study
The Woods Creek Watershed, located primarily in southeast McHenry County, is a subwatershed to the Crystal Creek Watershed that is part of the larger Upper Fox River Basin in northeast Illinois. The Woods Creek Watershed drains approximately 9 square miles to Crystal Creek. Large portions of the watershed include subdivisions of homes, commercial/industrial centers, farmland, gravel mining operations, area schools, and recreational facilities. The Villages of Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, and City of Crystal Lake are the predominant watershed jurisdictions. Interspersed throughout the urban environment is a natural system of streams, lakes, wetlands, and upland prairies, savannas, and woodlands.
The ecological quality of the Woods Creek Watershed was long thought to be in good conditions. However, intense urban sprawl in southeast McHenry County within the past 15 years is beginning to degrade the water quality within the watershed. In 2004, Woods Creek Lake (a medium-size lake in the watershed) appeared on the IEPA 303d List. It also appeared on the 2006 and 2008 lists. In addition, Crystal Cree appeared on the 2004, 2006 and 2008 303d List. Degraded water quality originating from Woods Creek is thought to have a negative impact on Crystal Creek and the Fox River just downstream which also appeared on the 2004, 2006, and 2008 303d list. Impacts to designated uses are primarily the result of phosphorus, total dissolved solids, chloride, fecal coliform and mercury originating from municipal point sources and urban runoff/stormwater sewers.
The Villages of Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, City of Crystal Lake and Crystal Lake Park District are showing concern for the health of the Woods Creek Watershed and ultimately Crystal Creek and the Fox River since the lakes and streams in the watershed began showing signs of significant degradation in the early 2000s. In fact, the Village of Algonquin created the "Woods Creek Watershed Protection Plan" in 2001 to help guide residential and commercial development in the Woods Creek Watershed. These municipalities and park district also recognize that watershed issues are so complex and inter-related that it is essential for stakeholders including individual landowners, organizations, and governments to work together and help them understand the watershed and initiate projects that improve water quality and enhance natural resources and open space. The development of this plan is considered Phase I of the larger goal to create a watershed plan for all the Crystal Creek Watershed.

Just how did Tyrone get out on that roof to begin with?
A man has been apprehended after he fled onto a roof to avoid arrest.
The incident occurred on Thursday morning. According to officers, the man, who was identified as 35-year-old Tyrone Singleton, was wanted on charges of domestic violence and armed robbery.
In order to further avoid police, Singleton climbed on top of a roof at the location. Officers from the CMPD as well as detectives surrounded the area and attempted to negotiate the suspect to safety. Authorities were at the scene from 10:20 a.m. to approximately an hour later when officers climbed onto the roof with the suspect and brought him under arrest without further incident.

SOLDIERS from Guiseley who helped halt the German advance at a critical time in the First World War are being remembered in a new book about their regiment.
The men, w ho were members of the 1/6th Duke of Wellingtons (West Riding) Regiment started the war as Territorials but went on to become battle hardened troops. Guiseley Terriers - a Small part in the Great War has been written by retired police officer and former solder Stephen Barber. The book will be available from www.pen-and-sword.co.uk at the end of July. A donation will be made to the Guiseley branch of the Royal British Legion for each copy sold.
Men were originally recruited to the regiment from Barnoldswick, Bingley, Guiseley, Haworth, Keighley, Settle and Skipton.
Mr Barber said: " I started researching the 1/6th Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment due to the connection with Guiseley and came across a stained-glass window in the south wall of St Oswald's Church in Guiseley which commemorates Lieutenant Malcolm Law of the 1/6th DWR and the men of the 49th and 62nd Divisions who died in the Great War.
"I viewed a copy of the battalions 'war diary', which is a daily record of the unit's activity, casualties and combat actions, and began to transcribe the document for my own information.
"I then looked in to the 25th Volunteer Rifle Corps (VRC) formed in 1860 in Guiseley which was the original predecessor unit of the 1/6th DWR. VRC units were part-time organisations formed across the UK due to the perceived invasion threat from a resurgent France under Emperor Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte."
Among the Guiseley men who lost their lives was Lance Corporal George Maude, who won the Military Medal for bravery, and who died just ten days before the Armistice. Mr Barber paid tribute to him by laying a wreath on his grave
at Saultain Communal Cemetery, near Valenciennes in France.
Another Guiseley man who died in action was Serjeant John Bulmer Jackson who was killed on July 24 in 1918. He had already left the Territorials before the outbreak of war but re-joined and volunteered to serve overseas. He is buried in Marfaux British Cemetery alongside 790 of his comrades. Marfaux marked the furthest point of the German advance in July 1918.
John was a prominent member of the St Oswald's bell ringers and after he died a half-muffled peal was rung in his memory.

Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI)
What is Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI)?
The Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) is a well established Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) process to connect public sector challenges with innovative ideas from industry, supporting companies to generate economic growth and enabling improvement in achieving government objectives.
SBRI provides innovative solutions to challenges faced by the public sector, leading to better public services and improved efficiency and effectiveness. It generates new business opportunities for companies, provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) a route to market for their ideas and bridges the seed funding gap experienced by many early stage companies. It supports economic growth and enables the development of innovative products and services through the public procurement of research and development (R&D).
SBRI is a phased competitive process with solution design and testing typically happening over a 2 or 3 phased programme.
How does SBRI work?
SBRI competitions are open to all organisations that can demonstrate a route to market for their solution
Phase 1 is intended to show the technical feasibility of the proposed concept. Also successful Phase 1 suppliers are normally required to plan their feasibility study/ research trial protocol and seek research governance and ethics approval prior to application to Phase 2.
Phase 2 is intended to develop and evaluate prototypes or demonstrators from the more promising technologies in Phase 1. Phase 2 is only open to organisations that have completed Phase 1 and will follow a similar selection process.
Phase 3 may be required in some types of SBRI and is designed to enable an extended field trial/ research study to robustly evaluate technology. Phase 3 is only open to organisations that have completed Phases 1 & 2 and will follow a similar selection process.
All competitions are advertised on eTendersNI - https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/home.do

What do suppliers think of SBRI?
"SBRI has been instrumental in getting us off the ground. As a young start-up, having a SBRI contract has been beneficial not only financially but also in getting a foot into Health Trusts who would otherwise not entertain small businesses who may have untested yet promising solutions" – SBRI Phase 1 Supplier
To date Business Services Organisation (BSO) has undertaken 11 SBRI/ PCP projects:
Current Projects:
MAGIC (Mobile Assistance for Groups & Individuals within the Community – Post stroke rehabilitation)
MAGIC is a large PCP co-funded through the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme. The MAGIC Consortium is led and co-ordinated by Business Services Organisation with partners from across the EU. MAGIC is focused upon creating innovative technology; transforming services for patients post stroke to improve physical function and personal independence: empower patients post-stroke, optimise recovery & new cost effective solutions. Magic is now in Phase 3, which started on 1st October 2018 and ends on 30th April 2020. Feasibility studies are being conducted in this phase. Each Study has One Zone in Northern Ireland & One Zone in Italy. Feasibility Studies have full Research Governance & Ethics Approval.
Up to 150 participants per Zone – Potential for up to 900 patients to benefit with clinician involvement and co-creation.
All 5 of the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Trusts are equally involved.
South Eastern Trust & Belfast Trust - Corehab
Northern Trust - Camlin
Southern & Western Trusts – Tech-4-Care
For further information on MAGIC please view the website at http://magic-pcp.eu/ or on Twitter @MagicPcp
To view the latest MAGIC leaflet and poster view http://magic-pcp.eu/magic-poster-and-leaflet-2018/
Guaranteeing prescription continuity while people move between care providers
The project is seeking to source new innovative technology solutions to:
Improve the medication pathway for people entering custody;
Innovate communication in the committal process through the use of real-time information sharing across stakeholder organisations – South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust (SEHSCT), Belfast Trust, Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS), Police Service Northern Ireland (PSNI) including Forensic Medical Service, Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service (NICTS) and Youth Justice;
Enhance the person in custody's experience and their well-being;
Support the reduction of incidents on prison landings related to delayed medication;
Work with key strategic partners to ensure safety and governance.
Phase 1 will have a duration of 5 months and commenced on the 8th July 2019. Phase 2 will have a duration of 12 months. For more infromation see:
Project 'DETECT' is for Detecting Emerging Traits of psychosis in Educational and Community CohorTs. DETECT will develop technology enabled solutions addressing early identification of and intervention for the prodromal or pre-psychotic phase of schizophrenia. The Phase 2 competition launched 1st July 2019 with commencement date of 1st September 2019 and a phase duration of 12 months.
PAIN seeks to provision a digital platform to support people living with persistent pain by providing information to aid self-management, to become a data source on the profile of patients living with persistent pain in Northern Ireland and to provide opportunities for further research to improve services for patients with persistent pain. The Phase 1 competition launched 8th July 2019 with commencement date of 1st October 2019 and a phase duration of 6 months.
SPACE aims to enable the triangulation of three data sources to occur so that data analytics and data mining can for the first time in Belfast be used to improve both the health and well-being of the local population, empower citizens, through the provision of information to make better life choices, enable Public Health Physicians better manage and plan care for the residents of Belfast, enable Consultant Physicians within respiratory an diabetes in the Belfast Trust to develop new more effective pathways of care and enable cross sectoral working in order to collaboratively improve the population's health and well-being. The Phase 1 competition launched 5th July 2019 with commencement date of 1st November 2019 and a phase duration of 4 months.
Possible Future Projects
This project would seek to address the risk of choking for people with swallowing difficulties, which can lead to physical, psychological and social life challenges, as well as many other health conditions.
Past Projects
Home Medication Management for the Elderly to Support Domiciliary Care Services.
HOME aims to address the daily challenges associated with the management of medication in the domiciliary care setting. The competition sought technology solutions to benefit domiciliary care users and providers, help adherence, safer working practice, and management of demand in the system. Two suppliers are currently in Phase 2 which involves a feasibility trial; this phase commenced on September 2017 and will end on 28.02.19.
Project 'Mario' is for Meaningful Analytics in clinical Registries for Investigating Outcomes. Mario will develop technology enabled solutions addressing the issue of real-time analytics for healthcare delivery as well as retrospective analysis and prospective modelling. Clinical source data sets include clinical records, laboratory, imaging repository, coding and prescription etc. Three suppliers are currently in Phase 1, which will last 6 months, ending 31.03.19.
'FAST' Automated Staff Deployment aimed to address the challenge of matching the needs of patients with appropriately skilled pharmacy staff in real time in a busy hospital setting. The solutions developed under this SBRI competition will help to ensure that the most appropriate members of the clinical pharmacy team can be deployed in a timely manner throughout the day, making best use of their skills and meeting the needs of the patients regarding their medicines. Two suppliers commenced Phase 2 in October 2017 which included a feasibility trial and concluded in September 2018.
Medicines Optimisation
'Medicines Optimisation', aimed to address the widespread challenge of poor adherence to medication. Six companies successfully applied to design prototype solutions in Phase 1 and two companies, AppAttic and Smartair progressed to Phase 2 for product development and testing. Phase 2 was successfully completed by the two suppliers on 31:03:17.
Gestational, Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Empowering Mothers through Mobile Technologies. GEMS is the latest SBRI in health seeking technology solutions that improve the health of women with gestational diabetes, enable diabetic pregnant women to take better control of their health increase the effectiveness of interventions, reduce pressure on health care services, (maternity, neonatal and endocrinology services), support an on-going care programme and improve the lives, wellbeing and outcomes for maternal and infant health.
Project 'CHAT' is for Optimising Provision of Speech and Language Therapy to meet the NICE guidelines following a stroke.

2020 BMW iX3 concept revealed in Beijing
The BMW iX3 concept has been officially revealed at the Beijing Motor Show, and is set to be BMW's first all-electric SUV when a production car arrives in 2020.
With a full range of electric BMWs set to hit the roads in the coming years, it marks the company's first breakaway from its dedicated i3 and i8 electric models, instead using a current production car as a basis for electrification.
As such, the iX3 borrows its style from the current X3, albeit with an electrified twist; the front bumper has fewer vents, and the trademark kidney grille has been designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind.
Other changes have been made to aid aero-efficiency too, such as a set of lightweight wheels. Elsewhere, the rear bumper and side skirts have been redesigned, and now feature BMW 'i' blue coloured inserts.
All these small but significant tweaks are designed to mark out electric BMWs from other types of drivetrain, and we can expect them to be carried over on the company's other upcoming EVs over the next few years.
However, if you were still in any doubt of the iX3's electric credentials, you'll find the charging socket on the passenger side front wing, making up part of the wheel arch.
BMW hasn't released any pictures of the iX3's interior, but we'll bring them you as soon as they're available.
The iX3's platform incorporates a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive set-up that benefits from BMW's latest eDrive tech. Each motor can offer up to 266bhp, while its lithium-ion batteries are set to offer a capacity of 70kWh or more, with range standing at 249 miles under new WLTP testing.
Just like Audi's upcoming e-tron, the BMW will offer fast charging of up to 150kW – that's more than Tesla's Supercharger network can currently offer. This should mean an 80% recharge can be completed in half an hour or less via supported chargers.
We aren't likely to see an iX3 in production form until 2020, by which time Mercedes' EQC could be on the market. If you can't wait for the iX3, why not consider another electric SUV?
The Jaguar I-Pace is now available to lease. If you have your heart set on a BMW, you can check out lease deals on the recently refreshed X3 here.

English Coursework Help: How to Review Your Freelancers and Know You're Paying for a Good One
Hiring a freelance writer is easy. Hiring a quality writer who will meet your specifications, use correct spelling grammar and words, and turn in assignments on time is more challenging. If you are looking for the English coursework help, look at these tips before you search for a freelancer to write for you.
Spelling and Grammar
Ask the freelancer to send you several samples of their work. You want at least two, so you can compare the documents and assure yourself that they are similar enough that the freelancer actually wrote them. Check the documents for spelling and grammar errors, or any odd usage of language. Then you want to review the freelancer's profile, if available. The profile, especially the overview, will reveal many things to you. Lack of an overview or summary may tell you they do not take much pride in their work. Errors in the profile can give you an indication of the quality of paper you might receive from them. If a freelancer will not take the time to make sure the writing they use to represent themselves is perfect, you can be sure they will not take the time on your paper either.
Since you have a few samples of the freelancer's work determine what type of papers they are. If they are academic papers such as term papers or argumentative essays, you can review the format. A quick Google search will give you an idea of how each specific paper should be formatted, as different papers have different requirements. You can compare the suggested formatting against the sample paper and see if they are similar, or not. A poorly formatted sample paper from a freelancer may mean they do not put enough thought into the format, so if you do work with them you will need to clarify the format and give them specific instructions.
Style and Word Usage
Take note of the writer's style. Are they too wordy? Do they tend to take the long way around when explaining something? If you see this in the paper, you may see it in future writing you receive from them as well. If you are looking for a specific style you might ask the freelancer if they have any samples in that style, or find a writer whose style is similar to what you are looking for. Many freelancers are able to be flexible to an extent, but the best results come from hiring someone who has a writing style you already view favorably.
Sources and Citations
If the sample is an academic paper requiring sources to be cited, take a look at those too. This will give you a huge insight into how this writer researched the topic subject. If you find the sources odd or not authoritative enough, you might keep searching for a freelancer. You may also be pleased with the sources used and this detail in the sample paper can confirm your choice of writer.
Keeping these details in mind and doing a little research of your own before hiring a freelance coursework writer can save you a headache or two later on.

|▲ Ceramic artist Seohu Kim Sun-heui
Ceramic art uses clay to make beautiful potteries through hands and in high temperature. Korean ceramic art has developed from earthenware after the New Stone Age to pottery, celadon and white porcelain as time went by. They are melted with our ancestor's sentiments, customs and religions. Today, those who are passing down this tradition are rarely found while many are into reproduction of the tradition. Ceramic artist Kim Sun-heui learned 'panjangjil taryum', a traditional Korean earthenware making method practiced only in Jeolla Province, and is making higher quality ceramic rice jars with symbolic patterns and the energy of the year.
Ceramic art comes by chance
She was studying western painting at university when she happened to take a part time job related to ceramic patterns. She entered into this part of the world on recommendation of ceramic art teacher Ilsan Kim Gyu-hyun and wrote a master's thesis on 'Study of Symbolism of Blue and White Ware Patterns in late Joseon Dynasty'. She learned 'panjangjil taryum' from Kim Gyu-hyun after 2001 and started to make rice jars. She also learned customs and history of ceramic artists after the Liberation of Korea and secured the decorum which all ceramic artists should follow.
Learning 'panjangjil taryum'
A Korean earthenware making method 'taryum' are divided into three types: 'hwandansik taryum' was practiced in Gyeonggi, Chungcheong and middle Gangwon provinces and uses jiljaegi to build the wall one by one and make the shape by tapping the wall with dogae and cart by pulling up the soil of the wall or spreading; the second type is practiced in Gyeongsang Province with similar method like 'hwandansik taryum' but it build the wall at once like spiral in thinner and longer jiljaegi followed by the shaping on dogae and suse; 'panjangjil taryum' was practiced in Jeolla Province and instead of jiljaegi, it uses wide, thin and long panjangjil to build the wall up. Panjangjil is also called chetbaqui for it has impression like panjangjil erected according to its shape on the bottom with che mom on top of it. Kim said that she learned panjangjil taryum from Ilsan Kim Gyu-hyun and developed it into making rice jars. She said that the soil droops when tapped and it requires a lot of labor due to the weight of the jar. In this respect, Kim is one of those who are passing down our traditional methods and beauty through their own works.
Recognition for developing traditional rice jars
Rice became the staple food after the New Stone Age and naturally rice jars were produced and used widely. The Gyeongju National Museum displays large jars made in the New Stone Age and the ones with combed patterns are regarded to be used for saving grains. Kim has been focusing on rice jars that originated from combed patterned earthenware and panjangjil taryum so that she could enliven the combed patterns as natural as possible with appropriate thickness. This requires a considerable amount of time and effort but Kim has stuck to this method with passion and determination and has built her recognition in the field. Though people rarely use rice jars nowadays, Kim's rice jars are playing their role to spread Korea's traditional beauty and excellent technique to the world.
Value of symbolic patterns drawn by hands
Kim showed a talent in painting from her childhood and majored in western painting at university and studied traditional patterns at a graduate school. She has deep cultural insight on patterns and has mastered various patterns from water drops to auspicious energy patterns which made her possible to realize the patterns of the energy of the year. Drawing patterns on rice jars has a decorative purpose but the energy released from a certain pattern is more important as it decides which good energy comes into the house.
Seohu runs various ceramic activities
Kim is running various ceramic activities customized for each age group. The activities are designed to raise interest in ceramic art in daily life. The activities can help learners increase concentration, power balance, creativity and traditional culture. Kim has worked for the last 25 years but started to display her works from only 5 to 6 years ago. Every single process of ceramic making is important: hand shaping – bisque firing – patterning – firing again. Whenever she fell into a slump, there always came a help and a support from the people around her and she could not have been who she is today without their help and support. Recognizing her workmanship, Kim Mi Hyo Gallery invited her to have displayed her works in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, China and Dubai. In 2019, she is scheduled for art fairs in Hong Kong, Dubai and Guangzhou in China as well as a Korean artist invitational exhibition in Chile. She says that she will give part of her energy to fostering her pupils while exerting to spread excellence of Korean rice jars to the world.

it seems like there is an odd space on my website, right between the footer and the supposed page end. It looks as it did when I set padding-bottom for the body, but that is already set to 0.
I was trying to make both bottom and top dock directly to the end of the screen, just as the top is right now. But, oddly, for the bottom it just does not seem to work, whatever paddings or heights or margins I try to adjust.
I've been reading through these forums for almost 6 hours now while trying to figure out what the problem is. Therefore, any help is much appreciated!
Edit: Issue solved by the last posting of lmilesw. Thank you very much!

Add to Spiritual Diary
Spiritu- ality is not related to solving any particular problem or problems, but understanding the problem making mechanism itself.
Mind seeks satisfaction through the solution of the problem. It says, 'take me out of the problem, uneasiness'. Can one see that this is a new problem? And this problem raises its head every time one faces an unfavourable situation.
To understand this (new) problem is to end it.
The end of it is the end of the problem making mechanism.

THE founder of publicly-listed Cebu Landmasters Inc. said he is keen on expanding the property development company's portfolio to include the lower-end market and help address the county's challenge of dealing with informal settlements.
In an interview with reporters yesterday, CLI President Jose Soberano III said the company has embarked on its first collaboration for a low-rise vertical housing project in Inayawan, Pardo with Pagtambayayong-A Foundation for Mutual Aid, Inc.
"While they (informal settlers) are comfortable in their present abode, it might be better really for the government to encourage vertical living and give these residents an opportunity to own their houses or units," said Soberano at the sidelines of the groundbreaking of Phase 3 of Mivesa Garden Residences in Barangay Lahug in Cebu City.
Given today's urban migration, the businessman raised the need for more low-cost dwellings that informal settlers can afford, with flexible financing options.
However, with the scarcity of raw lands in Cebu's key cities, as well as soaring land prices, Soberano recommended building tenements in nearby towns like Consolacion and Liloan in the north, or Talisay City and Minglanilla in the south.
"If you are in a location closer to the main highway, you can actually build three to four-storey condos and people will buy. That will become the trend. Given the chance, we would like to be part of that," he said.
For its collaboration with Pagtambayayong, Soberano said CLI has provided funds for the land acquisition and the ongoing construction of two to three-storey structures that will house at least 60 families.
Pagtambayayong is a non-governmental organization that promotes low-income housing. Its center for appropriate technology conducts research, production, and training on appropriate building technologies. The NGO is also a member of Sustainable Building Technologies-Philippines, the network of SBT practitioners.
For the last 13 years since it was formed, CLI has largely embarked on residential projects, both horizontal and vertical, that cater to the middle-market segment. This catapulted it to become the number one local housing developer in Metro Cebu, according to real estate firm CBRE Philippines.
The homegrown developer made its debut in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) last June 2 this year, raising P2.15 billion of fresh equity capital.
For the third quarter, the listed developer posted a 105 percent year-on-year profit growth and expressed confidence that it is on track to surpass the P1.2-billion net income year-end target.
CLI's year-to-date net income after tax reached P940 million, exceeding the previous year's P459 million. The homegrown developer attributed this report to the 68 percent increase in real estate revenues in the past quarter to P2.736 billion.

Automotive & GPS
Automotive & GPS
Great deals on auto accessories
On Black Friday, you'll find great deals on a wide range of automotive accessories, including everything from car stereos to GPS units. While many major retailers with automotive departments offer well-publicized Black Friday sales, independently-owned stores and specialty shops typically hold sales as well, in an effort to keep up with their big-box competitors.
If you're going shopping for a new car stereo, anti-theft device or GPS system, you should always do your research before heading to the store. It's a better idea to arrive with an idea of what you're looking for than to try to make a choice while fighting the crowds on the busiest shopping day of the year.
Black Friday Shopping: Automotive Product Categories
Here's a closer look at the major automotive product categories, and where you're most likely to find the best Black Friday bargains:
- Accessories. This broad category includes everything from spare tires and seat covers to window tints and maintenance products. Many major department stores, such as Target, Walmart, Sears, and many others, have in-house automotive sections. If you're heading to a department store as part of your Black Friday shopping, you can avoid making another stop by checking out the auto aisle for common and popular accessories. However, if you are purchasing items such as snow tires or modification accessories, you're better off shopping with a specialized retailer.
- Car stereos. Aftermarket stereos are a major part of the automotive industry, and car stereo manufacturers offer a growing range of unique options with features including HD playback, satellite radio, hands-free calling support, built-in GPS features, and more. Also, if you're looking to upgrade your speaker system, Black Friday is a great time to go shopping, as you can enjoy significant discounts on premium, state-of-the-art auto sound systems that bring professional, concert-quality sound into your vehicle. Make sure, though, that the advertised price includes installation.
- Anti-theft systems. Auto theft continues to be an attractive criminal pursuit, but car owners can fight back in more ways than ever before. Some of the options on the market include car alarms, vehicle immobilizers, and specialized tracking systems that report your vehicle's location to the police if an unauthorized person drives your car away. Remember that investing in an anti-theft system can make good financial sense, as you may qualify for reduced auto insurance premiums if you install a proven anti-theft device made by a trusted manufacturer.
- GPS units. With an automotive GPS unit, you'll never get lost again no matter where on the road you may venture. While many newer cars come with built-in GPS technology, these auto accessories are indispensable additions to older vehicles. Though they tend not to be very expensive, you can still find a great deal on a top-of-the-line GPS unit on Black Friday.
No matter where you shop on Black Friday, you can expect that crowds will be much larger than usual. For the best selection, plan to arrive early, and be sure to check with the store beforehand to see if they are offering extended holiday shopping hours. Many retailers open earlier than usual on Black Friday to meet consumer demand.
As a final word of advice, be sure to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the store's return and exchange policy before you make your purchase. Some items may be subject to restrictions and limitations on returns and exchanges, while others may only be brought back to the store if they are unopened and in their original packaging. If you custom-order an item, the retailer is unlikely to accept returns or exchanges of any kind.

Trainees should be proactively engaged in their own development. They should be increasingly more confident and competent at evaluating and reflecting on their professional development and practice.
'Outstanding' trainees will show characteristics of actively seeking mentor's advice and are able to successfully monitor their progress and development.
What is the Purpose of the Tracking Document?
The Tracking Document contains grade descriptors for each standard. It also contains audit pages where trainees log evidence to support the evaluation of their progress. The Grade Descriptors are designed as a 'best fit' model and are intended to promote parity across the LJMU partnership in the assessment of trainees against the Teachers' standards.
The tracking document ensures that trainees understand what is required of them in terms of:
- their performance against the Teachers' Standards for QTS as they progress through their training programme;
- what they need to do to move from one level of performance to the next.
The LJMU ITT Trainee Tracking document (TRACKER) originally developed in collaboration with other North West HE providers and Teach First is designed to be used 'formatively' by trainees and their mentors to track their progress in and across the Phases, signalling where they are at 'that moment in time', in the context of the setting, and as a result of the training opportunities available. It is also used summatively to benchmark progress at key points.
Trainees will need to:
- set targets prior to placement, in discussion with their University-based tutor that support their individual training needs;
- Discuss with the school-based ITT mentor during the induction period a training plan based on the initial targets and audits of experience.
- Audit and track their progress at key points during the training matched against the grade descriptors and, in discussion with their school based mentor, highlight this on the descriptors;
- Audit and have available appropriate evidence to exemplify the descriptors in order to demonstrate the level at which they have satisfied the standard;
How ITT mentors should use the Tracker:
- Use the LJMU ITT TRACKER Grade Descriptors 'formatively' at weekly meetings to discuss progress against the standards and 'summatively' at the mid and final review points to give a fair and consistent grading at the end of the phase. Highlighted aspects of the tracker should match the grades on the associated review forms for the phase.
- Discuss regularly with the trainees their level of performance for each standard and how they might progress, using exemplification from the tracker to support the discussion.
As the TRACKER descriptors are used throughout the training period, it is not unusual during Phase 1 and the early part of Phase 2 for trainees to have evidence which supports a grading of 3; this is not an indication of poor progress at this point. It is however anticipated that trainees, once they gain further experience, can demonstrate achievement at Grades 1 and 2 prior to the award of QTS.

The Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Educational Development (QAED) is a training institution which carters to the training needs of the work force of the Punjab Government School Education Department. QAED endeavour to attain its goal through competent and dedicated in-house faculty and experts from reputable national and international organizations. We invite experienced/eminent Resource Persons to share their expert knowledge with the participants of our various training programs.
QAED has a mechanism for the selection of Resource Persons. Notified committee comprising of four members receives CVs and invites experts from public and private organizations for interview.

The Resource Persons are the stake-holders of QAED and we hold them in high esteem. The success of a training program is largely dependent on the quality, commitment and training skills of a resource person. He/she is supposed to know different teaching/ training techniques and should be able to hold the attention of the audience.

Perhaps you remember the story we brought you last week on the Air Force Major who left his Bible open on his desk and resulted in attack from an activist organization. Well now the leader of this prominent activist organization that seeks to separate God from the military is asking that the Air Force "aggressively punish" a superior officer who has long displayed an open Bible on his desk. According to reports, Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) recently sent a letter to Col. Damon Feltman, the commander of the 310th Space Wing at the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, to issue a complaint about the Bible displayed by Maj. Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space Institute.
"For years, [Lewis] has kept an open, yellow-highlighted Christian Bible displayed front and center, quite prominently, on his official USAF work desk in an open office work environment," Weinstein said. "The egregious constitutional and DoD regulatory violations of such a brazen display of sectarian Christian triumphalism and exceptionalism have been noted by many USAF members through the years," he asserted, but none have expressed objection due to "fear of reprisal and retribution."

Incausa Large White Sage Smudge
Sustainably sourced White Sage Smudge.
Cleanse, purify and neutralize the space of negative vibrations.
Salvia Apiana (white sage) is an evergreen perennial shrub that is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, found mainly in the coastal sage scrub habitat on the western edges of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts.
The leaves are burnt by many native American tribes, with the smoke used in different purification rituals. A tea from the roots was used by the Cahuilla women for healing and strength after childbirth. The leaves are also burnt by many native American tribes, with the smoke used in different purification rituals.
A study performed at the University of Arizona in 1991 demonstrated that Salvia Apiana has potential anti-bacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Candida brassicae.

Second time staying at a Sunset property and I gotta say I am blown away. The short drive to town combined with the remote location really made this the best place for our get together.

We had an amazing time at Ozarks Outdoor Legacy. We had 3 generations staying in the house, age ranges from 6-73 years old (16 people). This house is perfectly setup for large groups. The house was spacious, comfortable, and was supplied with everything we needed. It was truly a relaxing and memorable trip for everyone in our group.
Great Time - Better Than the Pictures!
We celebrated my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary here. All together we had 18 people (8 adults & 10 kids). There are lots of wide open spaces both outside and inside for large gatherings. When we got there we were all pleasantly surprised. The place was better than the pictures. The main living space and kitchen were big enough to accommodate all 18 of us. They have added a HUGE back deck where we actually spent most of our time. Everyone could fit out there with room to spare. The upstairs master suite is huge and amazing. Our family had a great time. If you're looking to get away this place is far enough away from it all that you won't be bothered by anything but it is still about 15 minutes to get to stores, parks etc.The only thing that was wrong with the place was that some of the veneer stone siding was coming off the back wall above the deck. This is a pretty easy repair and hopefully they get it fixed soon.Also, when you are out in the woods behind the house I recommend bug spray! I suppose this should go without saying down in the Ozarks but those of us in the family who did not put on bug spray got our fair share of critter bites.Overall, we had a great time and we will definitely consider coming back here for future get togethers.
We couldn't of asked for a better experience! Booking was such a wonderful experience due to the awesome customer service. The house did not disappoint - It was amazing! I think we have found a gem in Branson!
Seclusion and Privacy
Very nice place with lots of room. Tranquil setting with convenience to Branson. Only drawback was the hot tub which is in an odd location and seems low-end.
Great House
Had a group of 16 girls on our trip to Branson. House was great! Plenty of room and quite location.
Family vacation
Everything was amazing! The house we stayed at was even nicer than it looked in pictures!
Perfect for our family. There were 16 of us that stayed comfortably. It was a great location.

An alleged robber was busted twice -- the second time while he was already sitting in jail.
San Francisco police say they arrested 21-year-old Devon Williams earlier this week after recognizing him from a surveillance video from a Muni robbery back in January.
On July 25, investigators drove to the San Francisco County Jail, where Williams has been booked since Jan. 23, to interview him. When they arrived, one of the police sergeants immediately identified him as the suspect from a Muni robbery video, said Officer Albie Esparza.
According to police, on Jan. 4, Williams was riding a Muni bus near De Haro and Southern Heights when he allegedly grabbed a man's cellphone and hopped off the bus. The victim chased after the robber and wrestled the phone from the his grip.
The suspect ran from the scene, leaving behind his knit cap. Officers searched for the robber, but were only able to find his knit cap, which apparently was all they needed. The cops say they were able to pin Williams to the crime scene with a DNA match from their database, Esparza said.
And let's not forget that police say they have Williams on camera.
A call to the jail confirmed that Williams was arrested on Jan. 23 on suspicion of possessing unlawful drugs, three counts of second-degree robbery, and two counts of buying or selling stolen property.
It seems that Williams just might have earned himself an extended stay in jail.

Singapore's inaugural international jazz festival, SingJazz, is definitely beast of its own. Reflecting the fluctuating nuances of jazz itself, the third annual rendition of this music festival in Singapore aims to deliver yet another holistic hodgepodge of improvised solos, unorthodox arrangements, fragile intimacy and the craziest ideas that make music theory seem moot.

23. Please your tummy with Miss Lok
Street food, hot pot and bespoke cocktails come together in the newly opened neon-drenched noodle bar on Magazine Road called Miss Lok. It's a crazy concept that wouldn't look out of place in neo-noir film set in a futuristic Chinatown, but it's also got the substance to back its style.

28. Have one 'last' party at Rail Collidoscope in Singapore
The Rail Corridor Art Space throws its last concert and party (March 19). But rest assured that while this may be a farewell show for the Rail Corridor Art Space – it isn't exactly goodbye!

Swing by Terra at Suntec City's newly revamped Sky Garden, the latest brainchild of Limited Edition Concepts. Eye-level with the CBD horizon, Terra is the place for parties, for Latin nosh and cocktails, to mingle and simply get inspired. While you're likely to be plastered along the bar, you'll have a hard time not turning around, 'cos right behind you lies Terra's very own DJ console that's likely to attract the most discerning of ravers.
32. Check out what's hot at the recently revived Gemmill Lane
Not too long ago, Gemmill Lane in Singapore was perhaps only known for two things: bar-restaurant-brunch-spot, Club Street Social, and French restaurant, O Batignolles. Lately, Club Street's quiet little sister has seen more foot traffic, thanks to a handful of hot new openings along the street. We foresee back alley parties, street closures and more establishments to join the fold when Gemmill Lane hits big.
33. Get hungry for fine dining events at World Gourmet Summit 2016

The Alaska Diary: Part TwoBy Richard Walch, Monday April 13, 2015
We have touched down in Haines, Alaska, USA! Michi Haunschmidt, one of the camera operators from the Legs of Steel crew, picked me up at the aiport and we raced to the operation zone of Alaska Heli Ski. From there I jumped straight into my snow gear, put on the harness, signed my life away on the insurance waiver (after the helicopter safety briefing and the avalanche safety test) and then the last check box: a weight check with all my gear before being given the all clear for lift-off.
It was a sunny day and six helicopters were constantly coming in and out like bees around a beehive. I was super-nervous because my film crew had already flown out at 6.30am that morning and I wasn't sure if there was a chance they would come back and pick me up. So I sat next to Ashley the dispatcher – who was coordinating all the flights – and made sure I was good friends with her so I got my ride! But no luck. I slow-roasted in my snow gear for the next five hours but never got a flight. But never mind; it was only the first day.
Next morning I woke up at 4.30am. I had a quick breakfast and raced along with all the other film crews to get the first helicopter out – because first come first served: who arrives first gets first choice of locations to film. At 6.35am our helicopter was the first to take off – and off we went to the legendary Haines back country!
The first zone we worked in was called 'Dirty Needle'. It is a legendary place – just stunningly beautiful. Benedikt Meyr was the first to drop in – he opened the day with a beautiful line. Sven Kueenle was the next to go – and he chose one of the most radical lines you can pick on this face and what both skiers have in common is that they ski super fast! The reason is that there is a danger here of 'sluff': a mini avalanche that can be created by doing a turn in very steep terrain. Thomas Hlawitschka got taken out by sluff the day before and had a scary fall.
In my next blog I will talk about the photography setup from the ground and also from shooting from the helicopter.
