I did not know what to make of this story published in Al-Akhbar by editor-in-chief, Ibrahim Amin. I knew that Syrian regime is notorious in misreading and exaggerating diplomatic signals. But Ibrahim assured me that his source was not the Syrian regime at all.

In the aftermath of the Cold War, the management of surplus fissile materials has become an urgent task with profound environmental, national, and international security implications. Lawrence Livermore is a key player in a study launched by the Department of Energy to find a way to dispose of surplus weapons plutonium. The Laboratory's work consists of engineering to retrieve plutonium from nuclear weapon pits and to process it into a form usable for disposition as well as research and development for two disposition methods-immobilization by a ceramic or glass waste form and burial in deep geologic boreholes. DOE recently selected immobilization as one method of the dual disposition path it will implement for plutonium. Lawrence Livermore's work continues with research in ceramic and glass formulations to provide a scientific basis for DOE's decision on the method for immobilizing plutonium.

On Monday I had the pleasure of walking the halls of the abandoned asylum in Cedar Grove, NJ it was simply amazing! From what I understand the grounds have been closed for ten years or so everything was left in an odd standstill. Some of the furniture was clearly from kids going in to hang out/ party and just vandalize the place I love the eerie stillness…Abandoned and beautiful more to come !

Oh Helen, you really are doing so well with these! I have some on order but of course, if I snaffle your ideas will give you credit, as always :)
Here's the funny thing though, went to London for the day last week and just cruised through Waterloo totally passing Paperchase. Got back to home station in Hampshire and scoured Poundland for these stickers! Of course to no avail, came home and found the little perishers on Paperchase (online with ridiculous postage) - ordered anyhow and still waiting for them to fly in!!
Could be a project for next year I suspect - sigh :(
Much love

Everywhere that I have lived has had some colloquial communication conundrums for those who are not from their area. In Jamaica "Seen" meant "Yes" or "Do you understand," whereas in Michigan, "Seen" could be used in either past or present tense: "I seen him coming this way." So when I moved to South Carolina I expected some provincial differences, but I instead noticed exaggerations of common grammatical mistakes. The most egregious, by sheer volume, is the inability of the local population to use "Good" and "Well" properly.
People often use good when they should use well, especially in speech. For those of you searching your brain for 6th grade English terminology, "Good" is an adjective (a word that describes nouns) and "Well" is usually an adverb (a word used to describe verbs). Good's meaning indicates the noun is above average or better than normal. As an adverb, Well describes or qualifies an action or to tell how or to what extent an action is carried out. You also can use "well" to describe someone's health. The trick is to remember that you do not use good to describe verbs.
Before moving around the world I always assumed that certain spoken grammatical mistakes were either sloppy slips of the tongue or a sign or a poor education/upbringing. What I've learned is that some words or phrases can be local accepted by all classes and educational levels. While I find this uncomfortable, I am trying to see it as part of a dialectic difference. With any luck, I'll maintain my good grasp of the English language and still fitting in well.
My blog contains a large number of posts. A few are included in various other publications, or as attached stories and chronicles in my emails; many more are found on loose leaves, while some are written carelessly in margins and blank spaces of my notebooks. Of the last sort most are nonsense, now often unintelligible even when legible, or half-remembered fragments. Enjoy responsibly.

Glasshoughton Welfare bring the curtain down on a tough season this Saturday, but showed they are ending the campaign with some pride after achieving a fine away victory last weekend.
Welfare are heading back into Division One of the Toolstation NCE League following relegation, but they enjoyed a victory last Saturday when coming out on top 2-0 at Bridlington Town.
Two goals in two minutes round the hour mark proved enough to give them a rare away success with Declan Walker and Thomas Scott on target.
Despite the win they will finish bottom of the Premier and are now regrouping for next season.
Welfare play their last game of this campaign this Saturday when they aim to be party poopers against a Shaw Lane Aquaforce team that will be celebrating winning the championship.
The side managed by former Glasshoughton boss Craig Elliott clinched the title with a 3-1 success against Cleethorpes Town on Tuesday and are now four points clear with just one match to go.

The family of "Free Tom" Smith migrated from Georgia to Dallas County, Alabama in the early 19th century with planter Baxter Smith. For unclear reasons, Baxter Smithcomposed a will in 1825 where he manumitted Tom, a wife Charity and their children. Additionally Smith willed them $2000, several pieces of farm equipment and land. Upon Baxter Smith's death in 1829, Lewis Tyus the estate executor, executed the manumissions of Tom, Charity, Theodrick, Harriet, William, Malinda, Sarah and the transfer of property to "Free Tom" Smith. The family appears to have lived in Dallas County as manumitted without incident from 1829 until Tom's death in about 1850.
After Tom's death in about 1850, the executor of his estate, Garland F. Gardner began a search for legal heirs. The search for an heir was complicated by several factors. Tom and Charity had ceased to cohabitate shortly before Baxter Smith's will was executed. Tom had another 'wife' also named Charity with whom he had three children, Organ, Miles and Rebecca. Because his second wife Charity and their children were not manumatted and still the property of Baxter Smith's estate, Tom had to purchase them. This legally established their status as enslaved making them property of Tom's estate and denying them the status of legal heirs. At the execution of the estate the Dallas county probate court freed the enslaved Charity and her children and determined that all five of the children should equally divide the property. Tom's eldest daughters Malinda and Sarah with his first 'wife' Charity disputed this ruling and claimed to be the sole heirs of the Tom after the estate was to be turned over to the state of Alabama. Malinda and Sarah sued Gardner. The case went to the Alabama State Supreme court and was decided in June 1854. The Alabama state supreme court found that neither Sarah or Malinda had "inheritable blood" because under the laws of that time, slave marriages were not considered legal therefore denying any status of legally legitmate parent/child kinship to Tom.
In the end, Sarah and Malinda did in fact get the property which remained in the Smith family over 150 years. Tom's remaining children Organ, Miles and Rebecca, left Dallas County settling in various places in Alabama.

[Journals]: Home Away from Home: What Makes Consumers Support Their Favorite Businesses?
For Immediate Release: October 15, 2013
Contact: Mary-Ann Twist / 608-255-5582 / firstname.lastname@example.com
When a shop is authentic and the workers are friendly, it can feel like a second home for consumers, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research.
"People often feel strongly attached to particular places. Such places typically include their homes, but can also include commercial places such as stores and restaurants," write authors Alain Debenedetti (Université Paris Est – IRG), Harmen Oppewal (Monash University), and Zeynep Arsel (Concordia University). "How do people develop and experience place attachment when the place concerns a commercial setting, where they are just customers, and the place is owned or controlled by someone else?"
Consumers form strong emotional bonds with locations when they experience familiarity. Consumers also value authenticity and personal relationships. "It also helps if it is a place where one can feel safe and secure, protected from not only physical intrusions but also from the aggressions of market forces posed by intrusive staff or aggressive promotional tactics," the authors write. "The place does not have to be an extravagant flagship store. People can build attachments with quite ordinary and even mundane places, as long as the place meets the above criteria of familiarity, authenticity and security."
The authors gained these insights from interviews with a sample of French consumers who talked about their experiences with the places they most treasure: cafés, restaurants, department stores, concert halls, and libraries. The final phase of the study focused on patrons of a particular French wine bar.
The authors also found that once consumers bond with a commercial space, they are willing to make efforts or sacrifices to support it. Satisfied customers may pay higher tips, volunteer to help the business, and serve as ambassadors, linking other consumers to the business.
"Consumers treat their special place as a treasured gift and in return want to support the establishment beyond what is expected of them as customers," the authors conclude.

A lot of people eat lunch at the Statehouse's Capitol Cafe. Most of them work at the Statehouse. Once word gets out that the cafe's now being run by the folks behind the great little Milo's Deli in Franklinton, though, I predict the lunch rush will diversify.
A lot of people eat lunch at the Statehouse's Capitol Cafe. Most of them work at the Statehouse.
Once word gets out that the cafe's now being run by the folks behind the great little Milo's Deli in Franklinton, though, I predict the lunch rush will diversify.
Milo's has been providing a steady crowd of regulars with Reubens, paninis and friendly service since the '90s - along with brother restaurant Tommy's Diner, they're two of just a few independently owned restaurants fighting the good fight in Franklinton. Now they're translating that same friendly neighborhood formula to the Statehouse's dining room.
The cafe is located in an area of the 150-year-old building called the Crypt, with winding bricked hallways, neat arched doorways and not a single window. Not great for claustrophobes, but a nice escape from the summer heat for the rest of us.
Capitol Cafe by Milo's is serving an abbreviated menu of crowd-pleasers - including, of course, the Milo's Reuben, made with pastrami, corned beef, turkey, Swiss, sauerkraut and Thousand Island. They've also got gyros, burgers and salads. A slightly controversial full bar is a go, but it'll be opened for special events only.
Myself, I'm more stoked about the full breakfast menu. It's so much more than your standard Downtown breakfast sandwich - omelets, pancakes, French toast and eggs Benedict are served up between 7 and 10:30 a.m. daily. The Milo's Capitol Omelet ($7) is just the sort of Greek-tinged comfort food Milo's is known for, with ham, sauteed mushrooms, roasted red peppers and marinated feta.
A few Statehouse-specific items have been added to the lunch menu, too, like burgers (a cheeseburger topped with chili sounds tasty) and Nathan's hot dogs.
The Capitol Chicken Club ($6.75) does its namesake good. A chargrilled chicken breast is topped with melted cheddar, bacon, lettuce and tomato. The kicker is a thick layer of real-deal, avocado-and-tomato-flecked guacamole.
Sandwiches come with decent ruffled potato chips, but it's worth the upgrade to splurge for a side dish. Try a dish of Redskin Potato Salad ($1.50), with big chunks of tender potatoes tossed in a light mayo-and-dill dressing.
And best of all? Jeni's ice cream for dessert! Snack-size containers of favorite flavors are for sale in the cafe's freezer case.

Happy New Year
As with the previous years Christmas really came around with the Christmas performance at School. Last performance with Pia and Isabella – from hereon onwards Adriana will have to carry the tradition; which she surely is happy to do. Much of the show repeated itself on December 24 when Olivia plus kids were part of the Christmas mass. There are some pictures from the school performance here.
We celebrated Christmas with the rest of the Bellamys on December 23 at Adrian and Penny's house. There was a total of 20 of us this time and the kids had a blast exchanging Secret Santa gifts. Some family members were off to Hawaii the days after – some to London while the rest decided to weather out the Californian rain storm.
Santa did come around again in 2014 and left quite a mess downstairs drinking milk and eating cookies and lettuce. Apparently for the reindeers. He forgot his glasses (again!) and must have several pairs in the sleigh. Santa filled the stockings and also left three girls a new pair of boots and Adriana an American Girl doll.
New Year came and went again without much notice. The three older girls hung out with their friends while John, Olivia and Adriana relaxed at the house. The three started 2015 with a long walk in Half Moon Bay enjoying glorious weather.
Finishing this post off with a note we came across earlier today:
Welcome to 2015.
With resolutions or without, with ups and downs, joy and sorrow, successes and mistakes, friends founds, friends lost, with passion or without, it will be the year that you make, the year that you decide, the year that you want.
Much of the above will happen but only you can turn them into positive experiences.
Happy New Year : )

Edith How-Martyn - Suffagette and Middlesex County Councillor
Edith How-Martyn (1875-1954) was educated at the North London Collegiate School and University College, Aberystwyth.
She gave up her lectureship in mathematics at Westfield College, London to commit herself to the suffragette movement.
In 1906 she became one of the first Women's Social and Political Union members to serve time in Holloway Gaol; after being arrested outside the House of Commons in October 1906 she was charged with obstruction and sentenced to two months in prison. How-Martyn was released after a month on a King's Pardon.
How-Martyn was joint Honorary Secretary of the WSPU, and when the Women's Freedom League split from the increasingly autocratic WSPU in 1907 she was co-founder and Honorary Secretary of the Women's Freedom League (WFL) until January 1911.
She stood as an independent progressive candidate in Hendon, Middlesex at the 1918 general election, securing 2,067 votes representing 10% of the poll. Labours Frank Bailey securing 16% of the poll.
In 1919 Edith How-Martyn stood for a seat on Middlesex County Council and was elected as the first women councillor on that body.
Three colours of the Women's Freedom League - Green, White and Gold
Hayes and Southall had a branch of the Women's Freedom League with Marion Cunningham as Secretary.

The ASU-85 (Russian: Àâèàäåñàíòíàÿ ñàìîõîäíàÿ óñòàíîâêà, ÀÑÓ-85, Aviadesantnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka, 'airborne self-propelled mount') is a soviet-designed airborne self-propelled gun of the Cold War Era. From 1959 it replaced the open-topped ASU-57 in service but was in its turn replaced by the BMD-1 from 1969.
The Soviet Airborne Forces used the ASU-85 in airborne operations. Its primary role was light infantry support or assault, with limited anti-tank capability. Each Airborne Division had one assault gun battalion with 31 ASU-85. The Polish 6th Pomeranian Airborne Division (Polish: 6 Pomorska Dywizja Powietrzno-Desantowa) had an equal number. The ASU-85 became possible with the introduction of the Mi-6 and Mi-10 helicopters and high-capacity multi-chute and retro-rocket systems for fixed wing-drops. It was first observed by NATO in 1962, and was widely used by Soviet and Polish airborne units.This war machine was involved in the events of the "Prague Spring" in 1968, participated in the "Six-Day War" (1967). These self-propelled guns were used by Soviet airborne troops in the initial stage of the war in the Soviet-Afghan war.

After graduating, he worked as a freelance artist and illustrator until 1990, when he and his wife opened The Framework Gallery in Troon.
Much of Peter's work depicts rural life in harbours and villages around the country but he has recently been inspired by cityscapes, often capturing the buildings and street scenes of Glasgow. Peter has now produced a wonderful collection of Edinburgh scenes exclusively for Morningside Gallery.
His ability to capture light results in rich, vibrant paintings, which seem to 'shimmer' - these are tremendously inspired works, which capture the city's everyday scenes with great skill and glorious colour.

Today I will continue with the theme of organizational change that I started on in my last post by providing a brief overview of the key forces that drive companies to consider changes to their human resources, functional skills, technology, and organizational structure. The need to undertake some form of organizational change can arise from any of the same forces that define the environment in which companies must compete: competitive forces, economic forces, political forces, global forces, demographic forces, social forces and ethical forces. Examples of how each of these forces can impact organizational design include the following:
Competitive forces generally require actions that will allow the company to keep up with and surpass the skills of competitors with respect to efficiency (e.g., cost of production), innovation and product quality and reliability.
Economic and political forces continuously impact the market conditions and rules under which companies produce and sell their goods and services and will cause them to reconsider how and where they engage in production and sales activities. The rise of economic and political unions (e.g. European Union) and increasing use of free trade agreements has changed traditional notions of market entry strategies and provided foreign competitors with new advantages.
Global forces are clearly important as companies expand into new foreign markets with different languages, cultures and business practices. Changes in the organizational structure will be required in order to allow companies continue to achieve the economies of scale and other advantages associated with global strategies while simultaneously acting like a local firm in foreign markets and satisfying the specific requirements of customers in each country.
Demographic forces are important internal and external factors for companies. In the workplace companies must address the rising levels of diversity among personnel and must create and effectively administer managerial and reward systems that take into account the needs and expectations of employees drawn from a wide demographic spectrum. In the marketplace companies must be prepared to tailor their products and services to the unique demands of specific demographically defined customer groups.
Social forces have a substantial impact on what employees expect and want out of their careers and the companies they select for employment. Employees have a keener interest in lifestyle balance that employers must consider accommodating and firms must also be prepared to offer employees more opportunities for professional development through training and job rotation.
Ethical forces are continuously pushing companies to embrace socially responsible business practices and act in an honest and ethical manner. Laws and regulations pertaining to ethical behavior have proliferated in the United States and in many foreign countries and companies must establish and follow internal rules and procedures to ensure that laws are obeyed and ethical problems are brought to light, independently reviewed and positively resolved. Ethical forces are also at work when companies develop strategies to carry out their activities in ways that preserve the environment and respect the human rights of others (e.g., ensuring the foreign suppliers refrain from operating "sweatshops" and otherwise mistreating their workers).

In this poor housing market, Quonset huts are in style with new owners as well as with retirees in search of an reasonably priced method to move to a warmer climate. I'm just saying, there are some things you just mustn't do in case you visit a haunted home. The offensive Agent blocked them all the way, to the purpose where they might not even get into the Home. I don't assume we now have the funds to do any majour work to the house to forestall damp in walls but it does appear to be there's rising damp or damp coming in from the skin. We moved out of the house two years in the past and rented it till earlier this summer time. Even the soil went, leaving Yang Wu's home perched precariously on a mound of earth over the 10-17m deep construction website. If the issue has been attributable to rising damp, however, it's strongly suggested that all old plasterwork, which is able to contain the moisture-attracting hygroscopic salts, is removed. At one time, I wouldn't have left the home unless every part had been excellent.
Scarista House is small and stylish, the sort of place one reads about in Agatha Christie novels but by no means quite believes exists in actuality. It's important to make a minimum of three times your month-to-month hire each month to be accepted into most condo complexes within the twenty-first century. I do not like folks coming in my home when I'm not there whether or not a home-sitter or repairman. The truth is, Jon even got here to my dad's 60th party with me – he had never even met my dad and his twin brother, Leonard before this. At this level, an exorcism is required – or the Perrons must leave the house endlessly. We didn't know each other then, so my identify is just not related to the house in any way.
I understand that my credit shall be shot… but I actually do not believe I have some other selection… nobody is willing to work with me… the house is sitting empty… I am renting curretly…this is all new to me and I pray that I am never on this scenario once more… How does all this work… I have no assist… and am very confused by it all!!!
The smell lasts briefly when launched and isn't likely to be at every faucet in the home. It's unimaginable, as you say, that our house costs proceed to remain high right here within the South. It took me only a few minutes to find a number of articles that defined how p-traps, vents (these pipes protruding from the highest of the house), and a house's plumbing drains are speculated to work, in addition to what generally goes flawed to cause drain odors. We've added a second bathroom, changed the roof and windows, and the home is in great shape. In the photo above, there's a home which appears for all the world as if it's standing in the midst of a road. If I quit making payments, my house will probably promote for the value of the primary. Great enjoyable and helpful info ought to one wish to keep the night at a haunted house. Eliminating damp and mould in your home is one thing that you need to keep on prime of and solve.
I have applied for a Loan Modification with my lender however it has taken far, FAR longer than I used to be advised it will take and I nonetheless don't have any decisive answer other than, ''We'll notify you by letter once we attain a decision." I find myself questioning if the lender is just dragging the method out to see what I'll do. I am contemplating not making any further payments on the home until the lender comes back with a solution.

TITLE: design trade-offs in syntax of OWL DL DESCRIPTION: Any matching of RDF triples with a DL view is going to have some ugliness somewhere. The current AS&S design has prioritised a clean abstract syntax and allowed the concrete exchanged syntax to be very difficult to describe, test, implement or understand. An alternative emphasis in the design on a clean characterization of OWL DL in RDF graphs, should be explored. This will put some of the ugliness in the mismatch into the abstract syntax. It is important to give an intelligible and correct explanation of what RDF graphs are in OWL Lite and OWL DL, that is genuinely usable by both humans and tools.

Tomato Day 2010 in Wisconsin
Just a post to remind people our second Tomato Day will be Sunday Aug 29, 2010 from noon to 4 pm. Our farm is about 35 miles north of Milwaukee and 4 miles northeast of West Bend.
The plants are doing better than last year, but so are the weeds. I don't think we will be able to get things as cleaned up as we had it last year. But hopefully you will be able to at least find the plants if you decide to walk the fields.
We should have a whole lot more varieties ripe this year as we've had the heat we never got last year. Last year we were a bit disorganized, yet everyone seemed to have a good time. Except me. I was totally hyper all day. We hope to have tables for the various types of tomatoes like pink, yellow, cherry etc and have a sheet for judging which is liked best. Something like that anyway.
I hope some of my fellow TVers from Wisconsin are able to get here.

Please bring your camera, Carol. I'd like to see some photos.
One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.

Last year I had the camera out there. But I was runnig around like a chicken with my head cut off most of the day and ended up with only 2 pics that were mostly worthless.
I'll have to designate someone else to just burn up the batteries and memory cards that day.
i can say one thing about that day -- it will be a weedy mess.
I can't believe the time we've spent on weeding this year and we never seem to be making any progress. Between the rain and heat, it's weed heaven all over the farm.
i can also say we've lost a few varieties due to the excess rain. There are wet spots in that field that we never knew were 'wet spots' til this year.
But there should still be a whole lot of tomatoes for people to try.

Well it's over for this year.
I don't think we had quite as many people as last year and I know not as many people picked tomatoes as last year. But last year there was hardly any tomatoes available in this area at this time. This year there is plenty. Also some of the varieties we had up for tasting were picked out right away so people found out they could come back again for PYO after this holiday weekend.
We had at least 2 other Tomatovillians visit. I was able to talk with Farmette and her hubby for a while as it had quieted down at that time. I'm afraid I don't remember the name of the other member as I was very busy when he came thru.
I had the camera out there but of course when things got going I was too busy to think about pics. Fortunately a friend from the Madison market who is a photographer came and hopefully will send me some pics. I did get a few late when we had a late flush of people come. When I have some time to edit the pics i'll post them.
About the tasting. We had 5 tables set up so I sorted the varieties the crew picked into color. Unfortunately I didn't give good directions as to what I wanted picked so there were way too many "reds" and many of them old standards like better boy and big beef. Some of my best bi-colors and rare tomatoes never made it to the tables.
The following are comments i heard.
On the red table, San Marzano Redorta got great reviews for a really "sweet" taste. Much more than for the regular San Marzano. German was liked for a really strong (asertive) "tomato" flavor.
On the Black Purple table, someone that has a friend that's been touting Cherokee Purple looked for that variety. Fortunately I had it there and when she tasted it she said "wow, her friend was right. Amaizing flavor". i also had some Bruno Russo F-2 there on that table and tasted it myself. Frankly it was the most tasteless on that table. Maybe in grocery stores in the winter it's OK, but for homegrown, there are plenty that are better.
On the pink table, several commented on Marianna's Peace. Roza Vetrov got a good comment too.
Trying to remember some others but sometimes too much was happening all at the same time. More when I have some time.
During a break I went to the back of the field to see if any of the Dwarf project plants were producing anything. Unfortunately what I found is disappointing for the varieties I have. The few fruit I found didn't match the descriptions, like Taz Chocolate was red. KPG was green tho and tasted OK but not great, tho I need another green to compare it with later.

Hey, no problem. I know you've had some health issues. It can be a bummer when you want to do something but you need to take care of yourself.
If you or any other TV member is in the area when we are around i would be more than happy to give you a tour. Just call or email me ahead of time.
Also, from now til Nov, no one is around on Wed or Sat -- markets.

My husband and I really enjoyed the visit...and here is a guy who would NOT eat a tomato (except on a pizza) when we got married 35+ years ago!
The amount of varieties you have is amazing and we both were happy to be able to taste so many of them. There are such differences, some striking and some so subtle. We especially enjoyed White Queen and Orange Nugget.
Thanks for having Tomato Day.

How to Effectively Manage Late Payments – and Avoid Cashflow Issues – Once and for All
You may have heard it all before – to avoid late payments (and other issues that stem from it, such as a lack of cash or a weak cashflow), you should make sure your clients understand your payment terms from the start and make sure your invoices include all the relevant details so you can eliminate the risk of disputes.
But, needless to say, if late payments are an even bigger issue for you now than ever, there are certain additional things you can do to tackle the issue once and for all. This not only includes sending your invoices way before the due date, offering discounts for early payments, and the solutions mentioned above – this also includes keeping track of your invoices, protecting yourself against a bad debt, and knowing the proper way of asking for or collecting payment.
Keep track of your invoices, especially those from customers who regularly pay late
One of the alternative things you can do to obliterate late payments is to keep track of all your invoices – especially from those customers who have a history of paying late. This means making sure you have confirmed that they have been received by your debtors. What you can do to augment the process is to contact your customer before the date the payment is due just to make certain that there are no questions or disputes and that the payment will still come through. But, if your debtor's payment has still not arrived on the due date, contact them again on the day itself and remind them about the consequences they can face for late payment.
To help you keep better track of your clients and their debts, make use of software specially-designed for financial management which can help you manage your debtors' accounts and which you can also use as a central system through which you can make and send out invoices electronically. Additionally, when choosing software, choose one that can list as well as track any invoices that are already past the payment date and that can also do an assessment of which customers regularly pay late.
Protect yourself from a bad debt
If late payments have become an issue that is really affecting your business cashflow, you can protect yourself from these kinds of bad debts by getting trade insurance coverage. This is especially useful if a customer has already gone insolvent and can no longer pay you for your goods or services.
Know how to properly ask for – or chase – payments
If you have done all that you can to get paid – including contacting your customer numerous times – to no avail, then you have no other recourse but to use other modes of collecting payment. The first thing you can do is charge your customer for late payment. You have the right to do this because there is a specific law or legislation that allows businesses to charge penalties for late payment or to charge their customers for the costs of debt recovery. If this method still does not work, then you can ask for help from a debt collection agency. If this does not work, either, then you can think about taking the case to court. This, however, is considered an extreme and worst case scenario as it may end up costing you money and time in the end.
If you are tired of dealing with late payments and have had your cashflow affected more than a few times, you can make use of the cashflow solutions offered by Ultimate Finance (learn more by visiting www.ultimatefinance.co.uk), which include invoice discounting, factoring, asset finance, construction finance, and transport finance, among others.

The Hostas are starting to pop here in NE Ohio and I am definately a collector….here's the word from Doug Green's Garden that I wanted to share with you! Although many think of Hosta and think of the variegated forms, my favorite is the blue ones! Big, small, tall, short, I like them all!
Blue hosta are prized by gardeners because they contrast so nicely with other foliage in the perennial flower border.
I've picked most of these for their slug resistance or for their outstanding garden performance. Many are award winners.
They are grown exactly the same as other hosta although it should be noted that the colors will be more intense in the shade with a good rich organic soil than if you try to grow them out in the sunshine.
Design Tip
For maximum impact, plant blue hosta beside gold leaved hosta. 'This blue-gold color combination is one of the highlights of the shade garden and both plants will benefit from this combination.
Some Good Varieties
'Drinking Gourd' 18″ tall, a cupped leaf, blue-green. Good slug resistance with white flowers.
'Blue Angel' 36″ tall, large blue-green leaf, large mounded growth, white flowers, excellent slug resistance
'Blue Cadet' – 15″ – I've added this one because it's great for it's powdery blue foliage and thick leaves! White flowers!
"Blue Mouse Ears' – this is for the front of the garden or in mixed containers due to it's size. It's just a "little bitty" but strong performer! Truly does look like lil' mouse ears! Must have! (I added this one to Doug's list too because I love it!)
'Bressingham Blue' 24″ tall, massive 15″ long leaves are blue-green with undulating edges, white flowers.
'Dress Blues' 18″ tall, long pointed blue-green leaf with white margins, pale lavender flowers.
'Fragrant Blue' 18″ tall, chalky blue, wavy leaves. Fragrant, light lavender flowers.
'Hadspen Blue' (pictured) 14″ tall, steel blue wavy leaves. Excellent slug resistance with pale lavender flowers.
'Krossa Regal' 40″ tall, frosted blue-green leaf, massive vase shaped plant, lavender flowers.
'Northern Exposure' 36″ tall, blue-green massive leaves with 2″ wide yellow margin. White flowers.
H. sieboldiana 'Elegans' 20″ tall, massive blue-gray leaf heavily corrugated. Slug resistant with white flowers. One of the best all-time hosta and should be in every garden collection. 'Silver Bay' 12″ tall, intense silver-blue leaves, seersuckered, pale lavender flowers.
H. todudama Aureonebulosa' 18″ tall, blue green margin with gold centers, rounded and cup shaped. Near white flowers. One of my favorite blue hosta.
I hope this gives you a few ideas of which plants to look for. You'll find all kinds of suggestions out there but these are some of the classic and best growers in my own garden experience.
Ideas to plant with the blue hostas as Doug suggested would be Dicentra Goldheart or Caryopteris 'Worchester Gold' and of course you could use golden hostas like "June" or 'Gold Standard' or 'Stained Glass! Great combos!
Have a great day!

text: Canada Turns Its Back On Israel By Ruthie Blum/Algemeiner.com January 29, 2016 Share this article: The official statement released by the Canadian prime minister on International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust on Wednesday is causing a storm on social media for its omission of Jews in reference to the Nazi genocide. Posted on Facebook by such figures as London-based Middle East analyst Jonathan Sacerdoti, Christians United for Israel (Canada) CEO Frank Dimant and i24 News producer Dvora Charness to point out what they see as a travesty Justin Trudeaus statement is garnering hundreds of comments from furious followers.Sacerdoti prefaced his post with: "Dear Mr Trudeau, Jew. Jews. Jewish. Judaism. Antisemitism. Regards, Jonathan."Dimant wrote above his own posting of Trudeaus statement: No mention of Six Million Jews murdered by the Nazis. Also interesting to note no reference to antisemitism sweeping Europe and the Islamist world.Charness, a Canadian, wrote: "This is what happens when you elect a 5 year old as Prime Minister... Missing words : Jew/Jewish/antisemitism *#disgustedcanadian."Indeed, Trudeaus very short statement mentions the Holocaust, the Nazis and the danger of allowing hatred to spread, but hides the identity of the victims. It reads as follows:On this day, we pay tribute to the memory of the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust. We honour those who survived atrocities at the hands of the Nazi regime, and welcome their courageous stories of hope and perseverance.The Holocaust is a stark reminder of the dangers and risks of allowing hate, prejudice, and discrimination to spread unchallenged. It also reminds us that silence must never be an option when humanity is threatened.As we pause to educate ourselves and our families on the bitter lessons of the Holocaust, we also strengthen our resolve to work with domestic and international partners to continue defending human rights and condemning intolerance.Disgusted responses were quick to ensue, especially though not exclusively from Canadians (and former Canadians) expressing "shame" over their countrys new government, which was elected three months ago.Among the many responses were the following:Stuart Lewis : "We have a eunuch for a PM. This statement is deeply troubling."Dinah Kutner : "Why do we expect any different from this Prime Minister?"Inna Rogatchi: "It tells crystal clear who [Trudeau] actually is. Any further questions?"Olivier Cohen: "It's definitely a very 'vanilla' statement. Considering the impact the holocaust had on the Jewish people, and the size and clout of the Jewish community in Canada, he could have probably done well to mention them. Maybe this is part of the new Liberal "don't offend the Muslims" line of political agenda. 25000 potential new liberal voters coming in live, gotta snatch every last one! Can't afford to lose any over some messy Holocaust statement!" Natalie Erlich: "The question of who were the victims is hardly debatable unless of course you are Khamenei."Bernie Berel Shuster: "I am very afraid that we are in for a long hard road with this PM. Where are the prominent Jews that helped get him elected, with money and advice."Trudeau's statement comes three days after Canadian Foreign Minister Stephane Dion issued a warning to the Jewish state."As a steadfast ally and friend to Israel, Canada calls for all efforts to be made to reduce violence and incitement and to help build the conditions for a return to the negotiating table," Dion wrote on Sunday, eliciting harsh reactions on the part of people interpreting this to be putting Israeli policy and Palestinian terrorism on a moral par.On Monday, Dions spokesman, Joe Pickerill, answered critics by saying, "We're not necessarily equating the violence by any means on both sides. But there have been issues, and we need to be in a position to point that out. He also said that a longer "tough message" would soon be delivered to Israel.Posted with permission from Algemeiner.com Back to home page


text: Hello fellow bassists, A couple weeks ago I bought the awesome Orange Terror 500w head. Today I bought the Gallien-Krueger Neo 212 600w cab. I was wondering on how you guys think the two will sound together? I realize the cab is more watts than the head but that just means I can't turn all the way up but what cab is every turned up all the way. Anyways let me know how you think the two will sound together!

I am a better line processor than any algorithm we currently have access to. Behold what I turned into a SINGLE LINE by hand:
Many people think we're using Mathematica to do the drawings of our Quilt Money. We're not! I am drawing all this stuff by hand. Theo uses Mathematica to route my drawings that contain T-intersections, but I'm learning to make my drawings single lines without T-intersections by hand, because they route much better that way.

The following are just some thoughts on customer viability, both in the economical and ecological sense. In this case, viability for a computer user is equal to ecological sustainability, provided the user really uses the PC. A computer is worth the purchase when it continues to be of use as long as it is of use to the user. It is understood that certain new developments whet the appetite and as a possible consequence require either more hardware performance (more power!) or a completely different hardware connector, which itself may only be present on or may require newer hardware. Since you as a customer will then no longer have a use for your older computer, you will have to replace it. But until this happens, the computer shoudn't be loosing usability due to economical reasons, like planned obsolescence.
One example I like to point out is iTunes. Newer versions of it in turn require newer version of Mac OS. This fact alone isn't a great deal of annoyance by itself, but you require a new version of iTunes if you also happen to buy a newer iPod, iPad or iPhone. While I understand that some functions like videos may actually require a faster computer to run iTunes, it also locks out people who just want to backup their data from their iPad/iPod/iPhone devices. For that you wouldn't really require a modern Core i-based Mac—actually, an over a decade old 350 MHz G3-based Mac will be sufficient to syncronize contacts and calendar data.
On usability: yes, watching videos in HD quality on a '99 Power Macintosh G3 with a 350 MHz processor, 512 MB memory and an OpenGL 1.2 (Direct3D 6) graphics card with only 16 MB of VRAM will not work at all. In fact, watching YouTube videos of any resolution won't work, because rich applications (Web 2.0) in general are too resource heavy and don't run properly. But checking e-mails and writing texts will continue to work. And especially if you've also invested hard cash for a lot of software for this computer that you still like to use and have use for, it is viable to keep that computer as long as you can. That is, if you really continue to actively use it. And that is also how it should be!
In the years 2000 to 2010 the computer market experienced, what I call: "the decade of Windows XP". PC people were getting used to having an operating system for a longer time period. And Apple made it possible for a lot of computer users to upgrade to their newest operating system. It has to be considered though that releases were not as frequently pushed as they are today.
So, here is something I would like to make the reader of my blog (you!) aware of:
Best case
Someone who bought an Apple Power Macintosh G3 "Blue and White" desktop computer in 1999 got it with Mac OS 8.51 pre-installed. They were then able to upgrade to (aside from the free Mac OS 8.6 update):
- Mac OS 9.0/9.1/9.2 (USD 99)
- Mac OS X 10.0 (USD 129)
- Mac OS X 10.1 (USD 19.95 if you had purchased 10.0, otherwise USD 129)
- Mac OS X 10.2 (USD 129)
- Mac OS X 10.3 (USD 129)
- Mac OS X 10.4 (USD 129)
Their purchase was supported by Apple directly through their operating system from 1999 to 2005. The last of the supported Apple operating systems, Mac OS X 10.4, was current until 2007. It continued to receive bug fixes until 2009.
In summary this computer was supported by Apple software for a decade. All you had to do was buy the software (the OS).
Worst case
Someone who bought an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual-Core in 2005 got it with Mac OS X 10.4 pre-installed. They could then upgrade to:
- Mac OS X 10.5 (PowerPC) (USD 129)
Now, someone who thought "hey, Apple is going Intel!" and bought an Apple Mac Mini in 2006 got it with Mac OS X 10.4/Intel pre-installed. They could then upgrade it to:
- Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel) (USD 129)
So all in all their purchase was supported by Apple directly through the operating system from 2005/2006 to 2007. Mac OS X 10.5 was the current Apple operating system until 2009. It continued to receive bug fixes until 2011.
Last supported OS available so many years after purchase:
- Power Macintosh G3 "Blue and White": 6 years
- Power Mac G5 "Late 2005": 2 years
- Mac Mini "Late 2006": 1 year
Fully supported through current operating system:
- Power Macintosh G3 "Blue and White": 8 years
- Power Mac G5 "Late 2005": 4 years
- Mac Mini "Late 2006": 3 years
Extended bug fix support for the operating system and most of its software:
- Power Macintosh G3 "Blue and White": 10 years
- Power Mac G5 "Late 2005": 6 years
- Mac Mini "Late 2006": 5 years
The Power Macintosh G3 "Blue and White", ranging from USD 1599 up to USD 2999, had double the time being supported compared to the fist Intel Mac Mini Core Solo/Core Duo, ranging from USD 599 up to USD 799. Customers of the Power Mac G5 "Late 2005" model, ranging from USD 1999 up to USD 3299, had only one year longer than the first Intel Mac Mini.
Continued use
How older hardware can still be of further use? The main problem seems to be the software. If someone used Linux on an Apple computer back in 1999, they could still use it today without real limitations other than the hardware and performance limits. Newest Linux kernels and open source software tend to run happily on once supported hardware. But if someone used Mac OS, they have to accept that the company behind it is in the position to dictate how long it's going to be supported. And they have the means to execute this position. (No new iTunes for Mac OS X 10.4 means no iPad 2 and newer on a Mac that cannot upgrade to a newer Mac OS version.) That doesn't mean that programs and products that are working right now suddenly stopped working. Using hardware devices and software versions of the time when it was supported is normally equally only restricted by the hardware and performance limits. But you just cannot count on it that newer devices will work with older operating system versions. Therefore you will have to check first and maybe stand back from buying the newest and the fanciest stuff.
No one said that sustainability was easy…
