MIELS VILLENEUVE was created from a family apiculturist firm founded in 1936. Year after year it has been able to develop and adapt itself to the numerous food tendancies and to the needs of the market.
In 1974, it was changed into a packaging and honey commercialisation firm and was set up in the Villemandeur industrial zone so as to improve the production rate while still keeping to the traditions and the quality of the honey.
Since Jully 2001, it integrated, a new site still in the ZAC of Villemandeur with a doubled surface, allowing a better treatment of all the production and shipping line.
Thanks to our flexibility we can answer every request. We have at our disposal a large variety of honeys.
The setting up of a quality control laboratory has enhanced our client's trust. The functions of the laboratory are to select, identify, analyse, control and to garantee the properties of each honey, at the time of purchase as well as at the moment of packaging.
The possibility of producing our clients' branded goods has allowed us to develop our commercial strategy.
To complete our range, we are offering a whole variety of honey by products like confectionery, gingerbread and "nonnettes" and also soaps and cosmetics...
It has also seemed necessary to set up a honey in bulk departement for manufacturers and users.
Our professionalism and seriousness has placed us among the leading french honey trading firms.
Our efficiency has enabled us to export to numerous countries while respecting and adapting to the regulations of each destination.

Driediger Farms Ltd.
Incorporated in 1964, Driediger Farms Ltd. has been producing and distributing fresh, and now frozen, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries and red currants for more than half a century. Established by her parents, the farm is now under the skilled management of Rhonda Driediger, president of Driediger Farms.
Over the years, the operation has seen many changes including growth from the original 10 acre homestead to 160 acres of berry production. Rhonda works with as many as 200 employees in the growing season between the fields, the on-farm retail market and the packing facilities. Driediger Farms is one of the largest employers in Langley, British Columbia, and locals know it by name.
"In 2005 my husband Peter and I purchased the remaining family shares and are happily continuing the family tradition of growing quality produce for the enjoyment of the people of British Columbia," says Rhonda. "Most people in the province know Driediger Farms for the retail market located off Highway 1, where you can purchase fresh picked and pick your own berries during the summer – an annual rite of passage for generations of farm-fresh minded people."
Diversified services
Driediger Farms' sister company, Blueridge Produce, purchases and packs fresh blueberries from many farms throughout the region and ships individual quick frozen (IQF) strawberries, cherries, rhubarb, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and other products. "Driediger Farms is the public face of our organization in British Columbia, while the industrial side is Blueridge," explains Rhonda.
The company ships frozen product all over the world and blueberries make up the majority of exports. Large markets include Europe, the United States, Chile and Asia. "With fresh we only have up to 12 weeks to pack and sell," she adds. "Having the ability to freeze product gives us the flexibility of selling on our terms. In 2014, B.Cc produced 152 million pounds as an industry. We are in the largest producing region in the world for cultivated blueberries and B.C. has the highest production rate per acre."
The fruit of their labors
The blueberry industry in British Columbia has grown exponentially since 2000 and now includes approximately 28,000 acres under production, up from only 10,000 acres 15 years ago. "With this expansion of acreage has come the opportunity to expand our operation from just selling fresh from the farm to shipping fresh and frozen products throughout the world," Rhonda explains. "We feel that agriculture's future in British Columbia is benefited by controlling our value-added production which allows for risk mitigation and higher profitability for our farms."
In order to meet this demand, Rhonda is proud of her company's completion of a four-year, $10 million expansion that brings Driediger Farms' packing and freezing capacity up to four times the volume of what the team was able to accomplish previously. "Our state-of-the-art fresh and freezing plants are providing much needed capacity to the rapidly growing berry industry," she elaborates. "We are also now able to offer custom packing and poly-bagging services to our customers, expanding our seasonal operation to year-round production."
Planting seeds of growth
Driediger Farms has a strong commitment to producing quality products in a sustainable manner, being involved in the local and agricultural community as a conscious employer. "Throughout our history of renovations, expansions and advancements, we have not lost sight of our most valuable asset – the people who make it all work day-to-day and our wonderful, loyal customers," explains Rhonda.
Her focus over the last five years has been expansion. The business has grown significantly in that time, incorporating new value-added lines and the facilities to accommodate them. "In building this we have done the fresh side and the frozen," Rhonda elaborates. "It took two working years to complete each stage of the expansion. We took down old buildings and built freezers and a new building for our frozen products. We saw that we needed an IQF tunnel to meet industry quality demands. There was a massive need for our value-added products so we had to make sure we could prepare for that growth."
Now with two large operating plants, Blueridge Produce is pulling significant revenue through both fresh and frozen product lines. To keep the operation running smoothly and safely, the company performs several audits each year, including obtaining CFIA registration and SQF Level II certification. "We have a lineup of customers due to the quality, consistency and final grade of our products," says Rhonda. "Our products are in final sized and graded form so they can be sold immediately without re-running. "She adds that the company has invested more than $2 million in new equipment, saving on rerun costs and improving plant performance.
Looking ahead
With a growing international market, Rhonda and her colleagues are setting the foundations for continued growth. In addition to the new facilities, the company is also expanding its staff and recently made two new full-time hires.
"We look for highly trained people to buoy other staff," she explains. "This keeps us operating with high standards of quality year-round, despite the seasonal changes in our business. Right now, we are ramping up our rhubarb production, which will double next year. We have recently achieved our organic packing certification for fruits and vegetables from ProCert, enabling us to reach out to a new clientele."
By focusing on high quality produce and adding skilled members to the production staff, Driediger Farms Ltd. continues to grow as a leader in the fresh and frozen berry market.

Comments on National ID Card Paper
Here are my comments on Reject the National Id Card by Congressman Dr. Ron Paul.
Here are my comments on Reject the National Id Card by Congressman Dr. Ron Paul.
We already have an id card, our state driver's license (or non-driver id). Do you hear people complaining about infringements of liberty on the state level? No. With regard to databases, we are already listed in two that i can think of IRS and Census, not to mention a good percentage listed in VA, military, and social services.
A National ID Card would just be a cosmetic change. Just a change in name.
It's not like you must carry your license with you every where you go, just if you are driving. It's not like your identity is checked anywhere, just in critical locations, eg. airports.
"History shows that governments inevitably use the power to monitor the actions of people in harmful ways. " I'd like to see an example of this.
"...but she should have never been able to cross our border in the first place!" I strongly agree with this statement.
Regarding the SSN, the University of Maryland had changed their policy of using the SSN as the student id. It's now a different number.
I don't understand why people think of "the government" as one unified entity, separated from the people. Employees in government are also citizens. They're our friends and family.
To quote a great American:
those who would give up essential liberties to aquire temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security.
Benjamin Franklin

Routing Traffic to a Website that Is Hosted in an Amazon S3 Bucket
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides secure, durable, highly scalable cloud storage. You can configure an S3 bucket to host a static website that can include web pages and client-side scripts. (S3 doesn't support server-side scripting.)
To route domain traffic to an S3 bucket, use Amazon Route 53 to create an alias record that points to your bucket. An alias record is a Route 53 extension to DNS. It's similar to a CNAME record, except you can create an alias record both for the root domain, such as example.com, and for subdomains, such as www.example.com. You can create CNAME records only for subdomains.
Route 53 doesn't charge for alias queries to S3 buckets or other AWS resources.
Before you get started, you need the following. If you're new to Amazon Route 53 or S3, see Getting Started with Amazon Route 53, which guides you through the entire process, including registering a domain name, and creating and configuring an S3 bucket.
An S3 bucket and, if you want to use SSL/TLS, a CloudFront distribution:
- If you don't want to use SSL/TLS to encrypt traffic
An S3 bucket that's configured to host a static website. For more information, see Configure a Bucket for Website Hosting in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.
The bucket must have the same name as your domain or subdomain. For example, if you want to use the subdomain acme.example.com, the name of the bucket must be acme.example.com.
You can route traffic for a domain and its subdomains, such as example.com and www.example.com, to a single bucket. Create a bucket for the domain and each subdomain, and configure all but one of the buckets to redirect traffic to the remaining bucket. For more information, see Getting Started with Amazon Route 53.
- If you do want to use SSL/TLS to encrypt traffic
An S3 bucket that's not configured to host a static website, and a CloudFront distribution that's configured to use your S3 bucket as the origin. An S3 bucket that's configured as a website endpoint doesn't support SSL/TLS, so you need to route traffic to the CloudFront distribution and use the S3 bucket as the origin for the distribution. For more information, see Requiring HTTPS for Communication Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.
A registered domain name. You can use Route 53 as your domain registrar, or you can use a different registrar.
Route 53 as the DNS service for the domain. If you register your domain name by using Route 53, we automatically configure Route 53 as the DNS service for the domain.
For information about using Route 53 as the DNS service provider for your domain, see Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS Service for an Existing Domain.
Configuring Amazon Route 53 to Route Traffic to an S3 Bucket
To configure Amazon Route 53 to route traffic to an S3 bucket that is configured to host a static website, perform the following procedure.
To route traffic to an S3 bucket
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/.
In the navigation pane, choose Hosted Zones.
Choose the name of the hosted zone that has the domain name that you want to use to route traffic to your S3 bucket.
Choose Create Record Set.
Specify the following values:
- Name
Enter the domain name that you want to use to route traffic to your S3 bucket. The default value is the name of the hosted zone.
For example, if the name of the hosted zone is example.com and you want to use acme.example.com to route traffic to your bucket, enter acme.
- Type
Choose A – IPv4 address.
- Alias
Choose Yes.
- Alias Target
In the S3 website endpoints section of the list, choose the bucket that has the same name that you specified for Name.
The Alias Target list includes a bucket only if the bucket meets the following requirements:
The name of the bucket is the same as the name of the record that you're creating.
The bucket is configured as a website endpoint.
The bucket was created by the current AWS account.
If you created the bucket using a different AWS account, enter the name of the region that you created your S3 bucket in. For the correct format for the region name, see the Website Endpoint column in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Website Endpoints table in the AWS Regions and Endpoints chapter of the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
- Routing Policy
Choose the applicable routing policy. For more information, see Choosing a Routing Policy.
- Evaluate Target Health
Accept the default value of No.
Choose Create.
Changes generally propagate to all Route 53 servers within 60 seconds. When propagation is done, you'll be able to route traffic to your S3 bucket by using the name of the alias record that you created in this procedure.


text: Brand MarketingMiley: Textbook Case of the Inevitable Teen Star RebrandReaching for a more mature audienceBy John Tejada|October 10, 2013 ShareBy John Tejada|October 10, 2013 Share Jimmy Fallon and the Roots join Cyrus for an a capella version of 'We Cant Stop.' Like it or not, Hannah Montana is dead and gone. For better or worse, fans are now stuck with the new, rebellious Miley Cyrus—the one who's shed the bear suit and brought twerking to the world. Cyrus' skin-tight, butt-bouncing metamorphosis has scored more media buzz than the government shutdown, generating its heat in the form of controversy. "This is getting more attention more than anything else because she was the Hannah Montana," said David Johnson, CEO of public relations strategy firm Strategic Vision. "You don't expect this from Disney stars." Generally not. But that hasn't stopped the suddenly grown-up Cyrus from appearing virtually nude in Terry Richardson's blog, and then almost immediately releasing her controversial "Wrecking Ball" video (directed by Richardson), which has garnered more than 205 million views. Most recently, during a New York media blitz, Cyrus left Matt Lauer somewhat speechless with her frank comments about sex. And this all led up to the release of her new feature project, "Bangerz." (Gee, what could that mean?) Shocked? You shouldn't be. Not only is the new Cyrus the result of a carefully orchestrated strategy ("There's definitely a certain measure of calculation behind-the-scenes to ensure [Cyrus] stays top of mind," ventures Desmond Marzette, creative strategist at Zambezi L.A.)—it's a rebranding act we've seen many times before. Cyrus is only the latest teen icon to face the enormous gulf that separates them from adult stardom. And, as many before have learned, a proven way to make the leap is with the bad-boy/bad-girl makeover. Take Justin Timberlake. He started as a Disney Mousketeer, then became a teen pop icon as lead singer of N'Sync. But Timberlake's leap to being the actor/singer/songwriter he is today required him to scrap the boy-next-door purity in favor of shedding his shirt and showing off his new muscles and tattoos—which is pretty much exactly what that other Justin (Bieber, now 19) is now doing. A generation ago, Janet Jackson went from being a young, playful sweetheart to launching her 1986 hit "Control," whose lyrics included "now I'm all grown up." Just in case audiences didn't get the message, Herb Ritts shot Jackson showing plenty of skin and cleavage. If there's a difference in the route that Cyrus is taking, it seems to be that she's leaving nothing to chance—going not just for a sexy remake, but pure shock value. "She's aiming to be this generation's Madonna," Johnson said. "Miley's doing outrageous stuff. Stuff that moms and dads are up-in-arms about—but Madonna did that, too." Of course, dressing up and playing whore is no guarantee of adult stardom, either. Back in the 1970s, bubblegum star David Cassidy tried to get an adult following by posing nude for Rolling Stone. Years later, pop-singer Tiffany showed up without her clothes in Playboy. Neither striptease managed to sustain those careers. But teen stars face a difficult choice once their 20s start to loom: If they don't try to grow up, they'll be stuck as a dated archetype. "If [a child] becomes famous and they don't understand who they were yet, the fame becomes the thing that defines them," said Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, a loyalty and engagement site. At its core, the teen-star rebrand is a cold lesson in the realities of the media age: Adapt or die. And for now, that's what Cyrus is trying to do—and it's a gamble, given how deeply she has buried her Hannah Montana image. No doubt, brands that might have courted the younger Cyrus won't want to touch her now, but Marzette says that doesn't mean product endorsements are off the table. Unlike Taylor Swift, who can still reach young girls because of her relatively clean-cut persona, Cyrus is now speaking exclusively to an older demographic. "If you're going to use Miley now, you can't overtly talk to that same audience," said Marzette. "But if you're marketing a product for a young woman, then Miley's right there." In fact, look closely at those recent videos, and you'll see the new Pill wireless speaker from Beats by Dr. Dre. Will other brands follow? Marzette certainly doesn't rule it out. "She turns 21 in November. I wouldn't be surprised to see an alcoholic beverage approach her," he said. Sharehttp://adweek.it/1bgdqwe copy Adweek Adweek

Planting of trees is seen as one of the best ways of combating global warming. However, trees sometimes find themselves in the wrong places and may need to be removed. For instance, a tall tree in the backyard may be an obstacle to development. It may also pose a serious threat to the public if the area receives strong winds. Tree removal is a serious task that requires a lot of skill and specialized equipment. Since there are numerous tree removal companies in Tampa, Florida, area residents need to consider the following factors when looking for the best tree removal company.
(i) Experience
Cutting a tree and removing the stump is not an easy task. It takes years of on-the-job training to learn how to remove trees safely without putting the public or colleagues in danger. For this reason, it is important for area residents to find experienced firms that have a history of removing trees safely and restoring the site where the stump was removed. Testimonials and reviews from previous customers and experts in the industry contain important information, such as the experience of a tree removal company, so they can be very helpful. Be sure to check that the company has handled the same type of work in the past.
(ii) Insurance
One of the most important things to look into when analyzing tree removal companies is insurance. Cutting down a tree and removing the stump can be very dangerous, so potential clients would want to be covered against these risks. The first type of risk is physical injury to the tree cutters. If the tree remover has to send someone up the tree to cut some branches, there is always a chance that the person may fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries. There is also a chance that the tree may fall onto a house, car or any other type of property. To cover these risks, the tree remover must have an insurance policy that offers sufficient coverage. Be sure to read the policy document to learn more about the coverage before hiring a tree remover.
(iii) Cost
Tree removal does not have to cost an arm and a leg. For this reason, a quote should be obtained from potential service providers and compared to identify the most affordable contractor. Priority should be given to firms that offer an all-round service from tree removal to restoration of the ground and cleanup services. It is always good to negotiate the price, but price reduction should not come at the expense of quality services.
(iv) License and Registration
Tampa, FL, residents should only work with tree removal companies that have been registered and licensed by the state to operate in the area. This is because Florida-registered firms have to operate within the rules, regulations and guidelines specified by the state. They are also subject to the jurisdiction of local courts. Working with out-of-state firms will leave a lot of legal loopholes in case you need to seek legal reprieve for one reason or the other.

Well, we're at the 24-day mark for the SJS DIRECT CoverKickstarter. And so far we've raised $195 or 3% of the money needed to pay Bill Walko to design the covers for this years' SJS DIRECT titles. I'm still pushing towards meeting the goal of raising the $2800 needed to fund the project.
I'm offering lots of great rewards this year including paperbacks, eBooks, and book packages. Andnd Bill is offering ten (10) donors a chance to own a single figure art commission of a character of their choice for a $110 donation.
Over the next 30 days I'll be giving readers a sneak peek at the four titles that are part of the SJS DIRECT 2016 catalog. This week I'll be presenting a sample chapter of John Haynes: the Man Who Rules the World. A follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed novel The Temptation of John Haynes, The Man Who Rules The World is a non-stop action packed epic tale that practically features almost every character in the SJS DIRECT Universe!
Time Magazine has named Morris Phillips CEO John Haynes "The Man Who Rules The World". But that world is put in jeopardy when Lucifer resurrects God Katious, a malevolent despot out to conquer the planet. With the nations' leaders in fear of his all-powerful Gem of Omnipotence, and gods falling before his feet, John must have mountain moving faith in God to help him overcome a threat that seeks to destroy all of humanity.
Chapter 2
Marcus Jefferies has a somber look in his eyes as he slumps in the back seat of the police cruiser. For one who calls himself a block, he crumbles easily under pressure. A pity. I thought I could have used him as the stumbling block who would have caused John to fall. It looks like I'll have to find another to end his existence upon my earth.
A flash of light takes me from the streets of the South Bronx to the Ninth Level of Hell. Harmonic wails echo through the darkened caverns filled with brimstone caves as the most depraved souls are tormented for their sins in the past life. I know just the man I want to bring back to my world.
I gesture and a ball of blue flames erupts from my hand to light my way as I march down the pathway. While I pass by cells imprisoning history's greatest men and women I laugh as they wail in anguish and plead for me to end their agony. When I step inside the cell at the end of the path I'm surprised to see the man inside isn't suffering. Instead he cuts a cold look at me while my imps cower in the corner. "MastiKatious I presume." I greet.
The tall muscular chocolate colored man wearing a loincloth rises from the slab he's sitting on and makes eye contact with me. "You presume correctly Lucifer."
I gesture and the fire in my hands rises to the ceiling. As it illuminates the cave the former King of Katia's eyes stay locked in mine. "I would think the man who once ruled the greatest nation in the world would be the most miserable here."
"I will rule in that world again."
Even in the midst of eternal damnation he still has aspirations for power. It's good to have a dream. I'll entertain his delusions if they'll help me accomplish my goals. "But you're locked in my cage."
"It's a minor setback."
"What would you do if you were free from it?"
"Take my kingdom."
"Unfortunately, you're stuck in mine."
MastiKatious' hands clench into fists. "You are no lord over me-"
I smile at him. "But I have been given authority over you. And I'm willing to release you from this torment if you do a work for me."
The cold stare of the former King of Katia changes into a piqued look. "What labor do you wish done?"
"I'll give you the world if you give me the life of one man."
"I only want my kingdom-"
I gesture again and a flash of light makes the copy of Time Magazine with John on the cover appear in my hands. "This man rules my world. Take his life and you can have the world as your kingdom."
MastiKatious takes the magazine from me and smiles on hearing my plan. "You can't control him can you?"
This is a surprise. I never thought he'd be so astute as to understand the subtle politics transpiring him. "Then you're aware of who John Haynes is?"
"I use your imps to keep abreast of my daughter's affairs." MastiKatious replies. "You made this man a god and now you fear he'll take your world from you."
"Just as I have made him a god over men, I can make you a lord over him."

Double Duty DIY
I have been itching for the next DIY project to come around and I was finally able to take some decent style shots. It's been cloudy lately and the photos I took before were not the best. Anyway, now I am ready to post it up. This tutorial pulls double duty: it's a modular bulletin board + coasters. Sounds like a strange combination, I'll admit; but it makes a lot of sense if you think about it.
Many of us are not very fond of clutter, especially in a workspace. I personally find it almost impossible to work at my desk if there is a lot of stuff on it. So, I thought I would make another bulletin board to tack up all my notes and inspirations. But, I wanted to take that idea a step further, so I began thinking of other things that I need or would use a lot in an office space.
We recently invested in a Case Study desk, and have been religiously using coasters to protect our new purchase. So, why not make a bulletin board that could also be used as coasters? The whole thing will cost less than $4.00 to make!
Here's what you need…
Materials: 1. Cork (I picked up a 6 pack of cork coasters from a craft store for less than $2, but you could use a roll of cork and cut to size if you prefer.) 2. Ribbon or Fabric (Something I seem to have a never ending supply of- Choose ribbon that is small to medium width) 3. Scissors 4. Your favorite heavy duty glue (I like to use quickset super glue) 5. Velcro
How To: 1. Wrap ribbon around your cork square vertically until desired affect is achieved. Make sure to pull the ribbon as tight as possible. Cut off excess ribbon and glue both ends of the ribbon to the back.
2. Repeat the process of wrapping ribbon around the same cork square, but this time wrap the ribbon around horizontally. Then cut off excess ribbon and glue both ends of the ribbon to the back.
3. Cut a small piece of velcro to attach to the back of each piece. Try to keep the cuts small and even from square so when you take them down, it will still look nice.
4. Attach all cork squares to the wall in your preferred pattern. Now you can hold notes and photos in the interwoven wrapped ribbon and pin up anything that is too big to fit otherwise. Once they are all hung up, it's time for a drink. Pull one down and use it as a coaster, re-arrange your modular bulletin board and you are ready to start all over again. Fun and organized! Here's what it looks like:
Note: If you would prefer to just use these as coasters (or they will be getting heavy use), I would recommend putting a sealant/ top coat over the finished cork squares so the fabric does not get ruined. For more Paper N Stitch DIY projects, click here.

What a great idea! I just moved and have a lot of blank walls to fill. This might just do the trick!
this is definitely my favorite diy you have done so far. i really like the last picture.
That is exactly my dilemma. Especially since the apartment is only temporary (we just couldn't find a house we liked). Again, great idea!
Very cool idea! Easy, cute, and practical!
What a fun idea! I really like the pop of color they give the wall as well. I'll be linking to these!
So cute! I love it.
These are so great and can be adapted to many unique styles… so that I could give them as gifts to everyone on my list! Thanks!
And so did apartmenttherapy.com
Whether you are looking for a theme otherwise you are ready to begin to make purchases
of items like children's bedroom furniture, shopping online is a great option. Use fish nets through the room.
A colleague recommended me to your resource.

Grisaia no Kajitsu episode 02
Sold! I certainly am. When you usually lay eyes upon a couple of girls whose panties are regularly visible to the viewers, you'd think that it'd be a tacky show with a lot of fan service. That has never once crossed my mind. It is very subtle and somehow very nice.
I am completely ignoring the fact that this is based on some erotic game. I also believe that there is a manga out there, but I am not sure if that's erotic as well. The reason why I have decided to write about Grisaia no Kajitsu is because of its subtlety and the cloud of mystery that surrounds the protagonist. It makes you want to find out what it is that he's hiding, doesn't it? Most of us already has some idea of what it is that he usually does, which is killing people for the government and/or some organisation. That much we can piece together ourselves. It's his past that I want to know more about.
Anyway, Yuuji is new at school and he immediately realized that he is the only male there. Lucky b*st*rd. He made it one of his objectives to ensure that he fits in, so he tried to befriend everyone. Mikan was a little shy at first, but now she, too, has become befriended with him. All he has to do is win over Yumiko, the one girl that wants him dead.
But you know, wanting someone dead and actually trying to kill someone on a daily basis are two entirely different things. I am not even amazed by the fact that Yuuji stopped every one of her attacks. I'm more focussed on the role that she plays in that school. She was the very first student and she seems to know a lot more about that school than the others. If only Yuuji can win her over…

Real Photo Post Cards
This exhibit features images of a number of real photo postcards and explores what exactly this terminology means.
Photo-sensitive printing paper was developed by the Eastman Kodak Company (EKC, below) in 1903, and shortly thereafter a pocket Kodak camera allowed for the creation of the photo postcards discussed in this exhibit.
One of the biggest focuses of this exhibit is on the dating and identification of different types of real photo cards, which can oftentimes be identified based simply on viewing an image or series of letters (which are often morphed into a graphic design logo of sorts) found in or around the box for the stamp on the back of the card. Some common letters found on real photo cards in this exhibit are:
- AZO (used 1904-1940s, depending on what shapes accompany the letters)
- EKC (used 1939-1950)
- EKO (used 1942-1970)
For a full list of the lettering used on real photo cards, see this table. The table also provides approximates date for when each lettering was used.
Another way to determine whether or not you have a real photo card is to use a magnifying glass or microscope to look at the image on the card. If the card is composed of tiny dots (similar to those seen in newspaper cartoons or the work of Roy Lichtenstein), then it is not a real photo card. This is because the images on real photo cards are produced in a dark room using the negative to cast the image onto photo-sensitive paper. Other cards, in contrast, are printed and that process leaves tell-tale signs. The tiny dots mentioned above are left behind by modern printers; however, older printing techniques (such as wood block printing) don't leave this dots and can be harder to distinguish from real photo cards. If you look at the border of two different colors on a card and find that the line is fairly sharp and doesn't feature dots, then chances are you have a real photo card.
Of course, the final indicator that you've found a real photo card are the words, "Real Photo," or "Real Photo Postcard," which many companies print on the back of real photo cards. But of course the detective work is, in my opinion, more fun.

The Acer Aspire ZG5 Screen is a very small 8.9″ netbook screen. These small netbooks are popular with parents looking to for an affordable present for their children. Something that they can learn to use and maybe do some of their school work on or just for playing their favourite games. The trouble is, as with all children, they may be careless at times and there may be a good chance that at some point in the life of the laptop they may drop it or drop something on to the screen and break it.
With a crack in the screen it may be unusable but you might not want to send it away for a repair due to the potential cost involved. However, there is a way to fix the cracked screen without the expense or lengthy time away being repaired. Visit Laptop Power UK to pick from our Acer Aspire Laptop Screens. Here an Acer Aspire ZG5 netbook screen is cheap and is shipped with next day delivery. There are even fitting instructions to be found on our website to help you to fit it yourself!

Hi everyone! I decided to put this article together because it's something that I hold quite close to my heart (also because I hate shopping malls). As much as I love shopping and I'm sure so do many of you out there, it can be rather stressful during the festive season and it's even more stressful when you have those early birds yapping and telling you how they have completed all their Christmas shopping 2 months in advance bla bla bla. After thinking through this carefully and remembering all my past experiences, I've come up with a fool proof list of tips to help you along with your festive shopping stress-free!
1. Write up a list
This seems like a rather obvious one but I believe that the human brains are made not to remember but rather to forget. Countless times I recall not writing a list because "I only need a few things so I'll remember" but trust me, the minute you step into the shop, it can be a little overwhelming and you become distracted by other goodies so you always end up forgetting one item!
2. Separate your list into groups
If you have a long list of items, I recommend separating them into different groups. This is for your own convenience really, so basically everything that you can get in one store, or one mall, or one section of the mall, you group them together. This way, whenever you have the time to go shopping, you target your list in groups. This way, you won't end up spending the entire day driving around or walking around in a mall and absolutely hating life and cursing every person you're buying a present for.
3. Do your shopping online
I think online shopping has evolved to an extent where it is easily accessible and also convenient. It is no longer the case where the prices are excessively higher than at the shops. In fact, during this time of the year, there are often promotions and specials running for online stores. You'll not only avoid busy malls and stores but all your goodies will be wrapped up and delivered right to your door.
4. Wake up early
I know many of us would much rather sleep in on our weekends off, or in my case I would rather go to gym in the morning over the weekends. If you're employed full time and you can only do your festive shopping over the weekend then trust me when I say it makes your life a LOT easier waking up early and be inside the mall at 9am (generally when the doors open). Not only do you not stress over finding a parking bay but the shopping malls are generally quite empty so you don't have to worry about people overstepping into your comfort zone.
5. Hit the streets
I know it's convenient to just go to a mall and buy all that you need there but if you feel like doing something different, try hitting the streets. We have tons of small boutique stores in the Parkhurst area and also in Maboneng, that also need some loving. By doing your shopping there, not only are you supporting small and local businesses but you'll enjoy your day so much more because there are lots of small, arty cafes in the area where you can rest your feet and stop for a glass of wine or some coffee.
I know we may not all have time for DIYs right now but if you do, there are tons of DIY gift and decor ideas. Small silly things such as Christmas cards, Christmas tree decor and even small gifts can all be made by yours truly. The best place to go scavenging for ideas, Pinterest of course!
7. Make use of the freezer
Leaving all your food shopping is not a good idea, have you seen how empty Woolies can be during the festive season? Foods that you can freeze should be bought early, such as the turkey or gammon and other meats.
Viola! Hope you enjoyed some of my festive shopping tips! Any tips of your own? You can comment below or email me! 🙂
With love…xxx

If you have found yourself increasingly interested in Hellenistic techniques, join this webinar! Hank Friedman, writing for the Mountain Astrologer, has called Delphic Oracle "the gold standard of Traditional Astrology programs, far and away more powerful and better designed than any other software."
After a brief introduction on the features of Delphic Oracle, this webinar will cover the use of this program in assessing planetary condition, and what Schmidt calls the "universal hermetic techniques". Curtis Manwaring demonstrates the power of this software and the timing capabilities of these techniques by examining the charts of famous people.
While Curtis Manwaring was first introduced to astrology in the late 60's, his serious study began in 1975 when his mother gave him a copy of "Chart Your Own Horoscope" by Ursula Lewis. Shortly thereafter he became interested in Rudhyar's approach. By 1980 college took time away from advancing further in the subject as he studied psychology and statistics. He was named a Hornbeck Scholar after being admitted into the honors program at the University of Denver.
After returning home, he lived across the street from a church and got caught up in Bible study with pastor Robert Lowe (who was born just a few days after Robert Schmidt). The experience in Greek with a Strong's exhaustive concordance would prove valuable later on during Project Hindsight.
By the late 1980's, he began to feel like something was missing from the predominant psychological approach and obtained a copy of William Lilly's "Christian Astrology" from Carol Wiggers. By 1994, this led to his involvement in Project Hindsight. During the 2nd PHASE Conclave, Curtis found his calling -- about 2 minutes before Rob Hand said "this stuff is just dying to be programmed".
After some initial inquiries to the major astrological companies, Curtis took it upon himself to start programming. His first program, Zodiacal Aphesis, debuted on New Years eve 1997. He paused in his development efforts because it appeared other dedicated software was on the horizon. But when this did not happen, he started work on a pilot project called Timaeus. This led to the construction of the Delphic Oracle, a program devoted to Hellenistic and traditional techniques.
The first version of Delphic Oracle was released in 2003 and has continued to grow ever since. The latest version, Delphic Oracle 7, is based upon the translations of historical astrological texts from the Hellenistic era through Medieval, Renaissance and up to the early Modern era.
The software includes various techniques from such ancient authors as Vettius Valens, Antiochus, Hephastio, Dorotheus, Porphyry, Rhetorius, Critodemus, Firmicus Maternus, Ptolemy, Masha-Allah, Ibn Ezra, Bonatti, Regiomontanus, Lilly, Placidus and many others. Curtis has worked with scholars in the field such as Robert Schmidt, Benjamin Dykes, PhD and others to develop software that is true to the intents of the original astrologers of antiquity. Currently he is expanding the program into other traditional areas such as medieval and Jyotish.

Parenting is hard. Being an aunt is also quite challenging. You're constantly torn between wanting to make them happy all the time and compromising but you also have to decide in split seconds about what to do in certain situations. You'll start mapping their lives and realize what you do right now to them will result into the kind of person you contribute to the society. You'll realize that as an older person you are automatically responsible to become a good example. Children learn by actions
People say kids are like sponges. Wrong. I don't know what they are but they're amazing. A sponge has a maximum capacity as to how much they can retain. Kids don't, at least I don't think so. They absorb more than what you teach them. The world outside is crazy and when they come back home from school they'll present to you things that you don't know how to handle.
"Tak tahu dari mana dia belajar ni" ayat standard la perbualan orang-orang dewasa.
They test you they make you question your moral standards. They make you angry but can wipe it all away with a single "thank you ciksu". Or when they sleep and you'll find yourself staring at them; thinking what a precious child.
As a female hooman it's normal to constantly think about having children. I do. But I don't think I can ever be ready to have children. The things I have to give up, the times that I have to compromise. And I am built to get what I want and have things my way. So how do I parent?
And that's just from the perspective of an aunt who spends at maximum a few weeks with them, imagine being a parent who's with them every second. Parenting isn't easy. Be nice.

Court Allows Class Action Challenge to Company's No-Sit Worker Policy
Cashiers at Rite Aid are invoking California law in their request to be provided seating when their job does not require standing. AARP's brief showed how workers' health is improved when they are allowed to both sit and stand
California law requires employers to provide employees with suitable seats when the "nature of the work" allows it. Cashiers at Rite Aid have invoked this law in a challenge to their employers' policies requiring them to stand while on duty. At least nine other states have statutes mandating that employers provide seats to employees if the jobs allow sitting down, and within California similar suits have been brought by bank tellers and cashiers in other businesses.
Cashiers at Rite Aid sued in a class action but a trial court decertified an order allowing the case to proceed as a class because, the court ruled, the cashiers had sufficient differences in the facts of their cases to warrant suing only in individual litigation. Individual litigation is often prohibitively expensive, particularly for lower income workers, with potential recoveries so small per person as to preclude the ability to attract competent legal help or put on an effective case with the expert evidence generally required. The workers appealed.
AARP Foundation Litigation attorneys filed AARP's friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the workers, pointing out the difficulties for aggrieved lower income workers in bringing individual lawsuits. The brief also highlighted the numerous studies, reports and academic research that document health problems associated with prolonged uninterrupted standing. There is a scientific consensus that workstations should be set up to allow workers to both sit and stand.
The question regarding certification/decertification of the class was put to rest on appeal, when the appellate court allowed class certification. This is a preliminary win for the workers who will not have to worry about finding and paying for individual attorneys to bring litigation one-by-one.
What's at Stake
Many states (including California) began enacting legislation to protect workers and allow them to sit as early as the late 1800s and early 1900s. While prolonged standing is an issue for workers of all ages, research indicates that the numerous health conditions that can be attributed to or exacerbated by prolonged standing can worsen with age — particularly musculoskeletal and venous disorders associated with standing.
Case Status
The issue of class certification/decertification in Hall v. Rite Aid was decided by the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Fourth Appellate District, Division One and that case remains pending in the trial court. The California Supreme Court has recently issued a victory for workers in a decision.

MiM Letter of Recommendation Service
Helping you write the perfect LOR
LORs- what are they exactly?
One of the most misunderstood and confusing parts of the application, the Letter of Recommendation, commonly referred to as the LOR, is what we at MiM-Essay.com call the underdogs of the application.
Many people tend to get confused by the whole concept of LORs, this is usually because they cannot comprehend how one page of good stuff that someone else wrote about them can add value to their already strong application.
An LOR should highlight your profile in different perspectives and add to the picture you are trying to portray in your application.
So why use LORs?
What the critics are missing here is that the Letter of Recommendation is a tool favored by most business schools because it tends to give a reliable 3rd person perspective of the candidate.
The information mentioned ratifies the picture you present in your resume and should contain examples to backup your statements.
Further, it should highlight your profile in different perspectives and add to the picture you are trying to portray in your application.
Sadly, many people, are content with presenting half a page of unimpressive information which 90% of the time is general in nature. Hence their LORs add no extra value to their application.
Our MiM Letter of recommendation service is designed to vanquish such common mishaps and help you come up with a great and insightful LOR.
LORs are also a measure of how people perceive you & how you get along with others.
How should I go about it?
First of all, get serious about the Letter Of Recommendation and find reliable people to write it for you.
An LOR is in a way the first test of your business acumen & negotiation skills, where you are expected to convince your supervisor/professor to write a gleaming recommendation for you.
This is tougher than it sounds, as your superior is getting nothing out of this & has to take time out from his or her busy schedule for this personal favor.
More importantly, he or she is not going to write something completely out of the blue. They would always prefer to write something as close as possible to what they actually think of you. Therefore, we at MiM according to the situation at hand, strategize with you and help you put together material which can aid the refereed in the best way possible.
As admission committee tends to take the referrer's views seriously & a positive and compelling recommendation can go a long way in securing you an admit.
So, the bottom line is
An ideal MiM Letter of Recommendation supplements your application and bolsters the picture you have painted in your essays.
Your LOR should be full of examples and incidents backing up the claims you have made in the essays and both your LORs should portray you in a different light, adding volume and depth to your personality.
If both the LORs talk about the same things, it is a bad sign & suggests that people have a limited and/or self-projected opinion about you.
LORs are also a measure of how people perceive you and how you get along with others.
Coming from a credible 3rd person, the admission committee tends to take the referrer's views seriously & a positive and compelling recommendation can go a long way in securing you an admit.
So now that you have an inkling about the importance of the LOR, let's summarize the major number of things can go wrong if not handled correctly...
- The recommender should be a person who knows you well and can take out the time to think over and write a thoughtful LOR for you. Nothing hurts an application more than a short, shabby recommendation. It makes the admission committee question your judgment skills.
- The LOR should work in sync with your application as a whole. Complementing it with anecdotes and experiences which put credibility to the claims you made in your essays. An LOR mentioning things which are way off from the character that you have developed in your essays would harm you a lot.
- The LOR should never be written by the candidate himself, the admission committee members have read thousands of LOR's and can subconsciously determine if the LOR is written by the candidate, mainly because of similarity in writing styles with that of the essay. This mistake will surely push your application out of the window. This re-emphasizes the point of selecting that perfect recommended
- The LOR should not be monotonous drone of your achievements, it should be a colorful description of how people perceive you and how you make a difference in other people's life
- It should be devoid of stereotypes such as "perfectionist", "hard worker"" good human being" and so on. The LOR should go on further and delve in detail about the person you, using innovative remarks
- Schools ask for a minimum of two Letter Of Recommendation's, so one has to be careful that they both don't sound similar to each other. Each must highlight different elements of your personality
And to top it all the LOR should be believable, an LOR singing songs of your greatness won't impress anybody, & would rather come off as phony. The LOR should be a blend of realism, shared experiences, facts and a mild portrayal of your weaknesses. These are the elements which make a perfect Letter Of Recommendation.
Choosing very high ranked officials hoping their name & status can benefit your application, may backfire.
How can the MiM Letter of Recommendation Service help?
These days not everyone has the time or the skills to write an impressive LOR.
Even if your recommender genuinely likes you and has your best interest at heart, he may just not know how to frame the letter in the best possible way and highlight what skills actually matter.
School's do not expect the Letter Of Recommendation to be grammar perfect but a good framework, personalized data, and few errors make reading the LOR a much more pleasurable experience.
Also, the person you pick can make a huge difference.
Contrary to popular belief, choosing very high ranked officials hoping their name & status can benefit your application, may backfire. It is much safer to approach a direct supervisor who knows you well.
We know the effort required to write a sparkling LOR and can vouch for the positive effect it has on the application.
It may just be that small push needed to put you into that revered scholarship receiver pool.
Our MiM Letter of recommendation Service
Our team is dedicated to delivering the best possible Masters in Management Letter Of Recommendation.
By availing our service you will be receiving the following benefits:
We will help you select the best duo of recommenders, carefully helping you shortlist whom you can approach, as both the LOR should highlight different perspectives of your profile.

Our team has a lot of experience handling tricky questions covering weaknesses and other touchy topics, we will educate your recommender on how to effectively answer these questions.
The length of the LOR can be a tricky spot with each college having their own preference, in addition, each college tends to prefer their own style of LOR. Our experienced team will educate you on how to tackle each one of these types

Sonderling); Runtime: 118; MPAA Rating: R; producers: Mark Gordon/Sidney Kimmel/Joe Fries/Josh McLaughlin; Focus Features; 2007)
straightforward schematic
biopic never talks to me."
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Director Kasi Lemmons ("The Caveman's Valentine"/"Dr. Hugo"/"Eve's Bayou") idea of "keepin' it real," for the biopic about ex-con black shock jock and TV talk show host Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene who used that ghetto rap for his motto and who made himself a local household name while on the radio in the late '60s in Washington, D.C., is an outpouring of nostalgia and a syrupy concoction of endless platitudes that wears thin. Aside from the film being energetic, entertaining and topped off by a lively performance by Don Cheadle as the foul-mouthed voice of the people who tells it like is, Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene, this straightforward schematic biopic never talks to me.
It's based on a story by Michael Genet (the son of Petey Greene, and if you wonder why the shock jock is so glorified and never ripped the answer might lie here) and is co-written by Mr. Genet and Rick Famuyiwa.
The film opens in 1966, where Petey Greene is imprisoned at Virginia's Lorton prison and is serving a ten-year sentence for armed robbery. Petey talks a convict down from committing suicide (as arranged with the con) and thereby engineers a pardon for himself for good behavior with the befuddled warden. Next stop is a trip to Washington's old standby R & B radio station WOL-AM, owned by the uptight whitey E. G. Sonderling (Martin Sheen). Petey's reluctantly hired to improve ratings despite being an unknown and not having any radio experience; since he talks trash and upsets the FCC he's kept under a short leash by the only black executive at the station, the program director Dewey Hughes (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Dewey also came out of the ghetto, but you wouldn't know it as the ambitious well-dressed black man (copying the dress of his hero Johnny Carson) who talks like a white man and is willing to play the white man's game to move up the ladder, is the polar opposite of the loud and flashy dressing Petey. The two become inextricably linked together, feeling they have a common mission. "I guess I need you to say the things I'm afraid to say," says the articulate Dewey, "and you need me to do the things you're afraid to do." In any case, the D.C. audience connects with Petey's rants about "black pride" and his street-wise ghetto chatter.
After Martin Luther King, Jr's assassination in 1968, Petey goes on the air all night as Washington burns and his soothing voice acts to calm the ensuing mob violence. This pleases all the whites at the station and the city leaders. The ambitious Dewey now becomes Petey's manager and gets him nightclub bookings and his own local TV show, and arranges his big crossover to a white audience by getting him a valued guest spot on Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show." But Petey walks off while on the air, insultingly telling the white audience he doesn't feel comfortable performing for them. This leads to a rift between the two, as they each go their separate ways. Dewey becomes a radio DJ on the same station and makes a big splash, meanwhile Petey retreats to a boozy life with his loyal busty Afro wearing trampy lady friend Vernell (Taraji P. Henson) and thereby throws away a chance to become rich and famous. He would die in 1984 at the age of 53 of liver cancer, and an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 mourners lined up outside Washington's Union Wesley AME Zion Church to pay their last respects.
There's absolutely no doubt that of the buddies, the filmmaker celebrates Petey more for not selling out to whitey and remaining frank and proud of his racial identity; Lemmons also admires Dewey for his success, but just does not show him as much love because he had to do it by playing whitey's game and not always being himself. Not knowing all of the true story I still found many reasons to suspect that this film was far from "keepin' it real," an aim it was tied to, since I know Petey never made a disastrous appearance on The Johnny Carson Show and was hardly the only black voice to plead for nonviolence after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. The film's characters were not that likable or interesting (the character played by Ejiofor is a dullard that engenders no great sympathy) that it can overcome overlooking all the liberties taken with Petey's real messy life and his unbridled egotism and his manipulative behavior he shares with all shock jocks whether they are white, black or green. I don't call Petey's innovative crass funky style he brought to the radio as progress; to me he's just another self-promoter out there hustling to the gullible public, and this self-congratulatory biopic needs to take another long look at itself before laying on us such jive as if it's "word."

Good post. Often it's because, these "link building noobies" as you call them, they target highly competitive keywords and wonder why they not getting any results.
Excellent post. You've laid down a process that anyone could follow if they're prepared to put in the graft.
hey, phil.
thanks for the kudos on the post. yeah, my philosophy for life is the same for building quality backlinks: you get out exactly what you put in. shat effort earns shat links. but if you bust your behind, you'll be rewarded.
cheers! ken
Great post. You're right, to earn good links you have to roll up your sleeves and do the work. There is no quick, magic way to build quality inbound links.

Have You Heard?
They're killing Google Reader. It's all going through Google+ now (when I say "now" I mean "whenever they get around to implementing the change).
On the one hand I think this is good because I'm sick of hearing about how important G+ is to Google but then having hacky-ass integrations between it and existing products. On the other hand, they're breaking THE INTERNET. Jackassery is what it is.
But who knows maybe the third parties will make it work. Since one knows Google won't.

Dates :Thursday June 14th, 2018 - Friday June 15th, 2018
Location :Four Points by Sheraton Boston Logan Airport
407 Squire Rd
02151 Revere,MA, United States
Type :Conference & Seminar - International audience
Accreditation :--
Further information
Course "Applying ISO14971 and IEC62304 - A guide to practical Risk Management" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.
Gaps, incorrect or incomplete implementation of safety functionality can delay or make the certification/approval of medical products impossible. Most activities cannot be retroactively performed since they are closely linked into the development lifecycle. Diligent, complete and correct implementation of risk management from the start of product development is therefore imperative. This course will introduce all necessary steps to design, implement and test critical medical devices in a regulatory compliant environment. This course will additionally address the software risk management and the resulting interfaces to device level risk management.
To comprehensively summarize all risk related activities and to demonstrate the safe properties of a device the 'Safety Case' or 'Assurance Case' document is a well-established method to collect all safety related information together in one place. This documentation will most likely become mandatory for all devices (currently only required for FDA infusion pump submissions). This course will introduce the basic concepts and content of safety assurance cases and will illustrate the usefulness for internal and external review of safety related information.
Who will benefit:
The course will introduce the main elements of risk management with emphasis on the application of risk management principles and requirements to the medical device development cycle. Risk management has become the method of choice to ensure an effective and safety oriented device development. International consensus, reflected in globally applicable standard requirements, has led to risk management being a mandatory component of almost any activity in the medical device industry.
The course will emphasize the implementation of risk management into the development and maintenance process. It will use real-life examples and proven tips and tricks to make the application of risk management a practical and beneficial undertaking. This seminar will address the system level issues of risk management as well as the increasingly important software and usability related issues of critical systems. It will help to comply with regulatory requirements with minimized overhead and resource burden. To make the combines effort to design, implement and verify a safe device transparent the concept of an assurance case will be introduced.
The course is mainly based on international consensus requirements such as ISO14971, IEC62366 and IEC62304. It will cover European (MDD), US (FDA) and international risk management requirements from a regulatory and practitioner's perspective.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from Charles Tabesh, head of programming at Turner Classic Movies, in response to my "Horrors of the National Film Museum" blog. In short, Mr. Tabesh shares our concerns about the National Film Museum and their questionable "restorations" and vows to sever TCM's ties with the company.
TCM has other NFM titles scheduled in the near future, some of which can't be helped at this late stage (including a replay of THE VAMPIRE BAT at 7:30a.m. on October 31), but in some instances substitute copies will be sought and aired instead. Viewers should also be cautioned in advance that TCM's showing of the 1964 Italian film CASTLE OF THE LIVING DEAD (scheduled for 3:30 a.m. on October 31) -- first announced by TCM as a widescreen broadcast -- is indeed a pan&scanned National Film Museum title, and we're told it looks pretty bad.
I also spoke on the phone yesterday to TCM's Steve Iverson, a longtime VW reader who brought Video WatchBlog to Mr. Tabesh's attention. Steve was interested to read my comments about TCM's current copy of THE MANSTER, a crummy NFM dupe, and was able to offer a sound explanation of how MGM's picture-perfect master got lost in the shuffle. Apparently the TCM film archive has been around so long that it now exists on several different tape formats. The MGM master of THE MANSTER has been around for so long, it's on one-inch tape, the oldest of these formats. TCM's current broadcast standard is Digi-Beta, and they are currently in the process of remastering select titles in the next format, High Definition. As Steve surmised, "Since the MGM MANSTER was on an old one-inch, when National Film Museum sent us the title on Digi-Beta, we probably assumed it represented an upgrade, which it obviously wasn't." Now that TCM knows it's just an ugly cousin copy, they are going to check into the possibility of transferring the one-inch master to Digi-Beta for future broadcasts. Let's hope it works out.
And let's hear it for TCM for taking this matter so seriously! How many other stations would bother listening to viewers complaining about the quality of their copies of THE VAMPIRE BAT and THE MANSTER, much less take decisive action about it?

The price Sunderland will pay for relegation is highlighted in the club's latest accounts.
The Black Cats filed their annual accounts for the year ending July 31, 2016, last week and the full details have now been uploaded to the Companies House website.
We acknowledge that our financial performance must improve significantly.Ellis Short
They cover August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016, a period which saw Dick Advocaat leave the club and his replacement Sam Allardyce lead the team to Premier League survival, only to be hired as England boss and succeeded by David Moyes in the Stadium of Light hotseat.
It also covers the departure of Chief Executive Margaret Byrne, who resigned over the handling of the Adam Johnson case.
The latest figures show the club had a turnover of £108million, an increase of £7million on the 2014-15 figures and making a small operating profit of £1.5million, but post-tax loss rose from £26.6million to £33million.
And the full report underlines how critically important the massive Premier League TV deal is to the club's financial stability.
Sunderland received £71,582,000 for television and media rights in the year to the end of July, up from £69,071,000 in the previous 12 months.
If anything, the figures undersell the importance of the deal, covering the last year of the previous rights agreement. Premier League status is estimated to be worth more than £100million this year, though Sunderland will receive parachute payments to lessen the blow.
Gate receipts, on the other hand, accounted for just £10,439,000 in income last year, a fall of £350,000 on the previous season, while conference, banqueting and catering brought in £10,323,000, up from £9,162,000 the year before.
The club saw income from retail and merchandising jump significantly, up from just £791,000 in the year to the end of July 2015 to £3,823,000 in the latest accounts.
But the wage bill, including pension and social security costs, also rose, up from £77,106 to £83,937 - more than 77 per cent of turnover.
Chairman Ellis Short said: "We acknowledge that our financial performance must improve significantly.
"It is not something that can be fixed overnight, however we have taken the first steps towards making the positive changes necessary by restructuring the club at senior level, including the appointment of CEO Martin Bain last summer.
"Implementing these changes was done with the aim of giving us the best platform from which to proactively address the issues we face, both on and off the field, and that will be our focus moving forward."

A couple of weeks ago while on a visit in Texas, Judy made us some Brussels sprouts that were amazing. A few days ago, I tried my own version. You will need: Olive oil, garlic, red onion, bacon bits and Brussels sprouts.
Cut the ends of the Brussels sprouts and discard any browned leafs, then quarter the sprouts. Mince the amount of garlic you want and finely chop some onion. Heat however much olive oil you want to use in a hot skillet, add the garlic and onion. Saute until they become translucent, add the sprouts and bacon pieces. Keep sauteing until the sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy. You may have to add more olive oil.
Truly delectable !

Keira Set To Face Heartbreak Again, This Time In The Jungle
She was already left heartbroken after being eliminated from The Bachelor by Richie Strahan last year… Well, not really but she's definitely been searching for that special someone.
And it looks like Keira Maguire may face heartbreak (or rejection) again, this time on 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!'
The 30-year-old reality TV star admitted ahead of entering the jungle on Tuesday night, that she has set her sights on 38-year-old model Kris Smith.
Prior to entering she told News Corp Australia: "I don't know if I am his type. He is hot."
She then revealed her game plan for winning his heart: "I don't know about in the jungle because I am going to be covered in dirt, I am going to smell like camp fire, can you imagine coming up to him? I will do my best. I will have a crack."
GET READY CELEBS! TONIGHT!!!Keira is going to stir the pot & of course add some jungle entertainment for all of us watching! @ImACelebrityAU @channelten #ImACelebrityAU #celebkeira I'm Keira's sis 👯 I'll be keeping her Instagram account alive throughout the show! I will post special exclusive vids & photos Keira sent me before going into lock down! Watch this space & make sure to vote her in the Tucker Trails by using Twitter & Facebook 😘unfortunately Instagram votes don't count! You're stuck now Keira HA HA 😂
Keira and Kris were pictured together in November last year, and looked very cosy as they posed for photographs together.
Plus they both live in Double Bay, so it would be a super convenient relationship.
However last week, Kris revealed he actually has a mystery girlfriend and also feelings for his ex, presumably his most recent, Maddy King, and not Dannii Minogue, whom he shares son Ethan with.
"I'm not single," he said. "I told everyone I'm single but I'm reconnecting with my ex and everything else.
Adding: "It is just fresh, we are talking again about fixing things up. I have just got a lot of feelings for her."
We can't wait to see how this plays out...
