10 Dementia-Friendly Springtime Activities
Spring is normally the time of year when we get excited to be outside enjoying the weather and airing out the home following a cold and dusty winter. If you're a caregiver to someone with dementia, you may be wondering what you can do to keep him or her active during the transition in weather.
"Activities are incredibly important for individuals with dementia because it helps keep them engaged, fulfilled and interested," says Andrea Campisi, Marketing and Admissions Director of The Reutlinger Community, a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Danville, CA. "However, when planning outings this spring for your loved one with dementia, it is even more important to be alert, be aware and choose safe options that will keep them healthy."
Here are some of our springtime ideas for fun and festivities.
- Do some gardening. Gardening is a wonderful activity for dementia patients because it combines light exercise with dexterity activities and total sensory stimulation. You and your loved one can work at weeding out flower beds, planting seedlings and other light chores. Be sure that the activity isn't too strenuous. You can purchase some dementia-friendly gardening tools that will allow your senior loved one to participate safely.
- Take a walk. A short walk around the block is a great form of exercise. Be sure your loved one has appropriate footwear to avoid falls. You can take a walk around the neighborhood or head to a nearby park for a change of scenery – whatever's easiest.
- Become a birdwatcher. Put a birdfeeder outside your loved one's window or on the patio. Grab your tablet (or go old-school with a birdwatching book) and look up the feathered friends who come to visit.
- Sit in the sun. Even just sitting outside for 15 minutes can help with circadian rhythms, improve mood, boost spirits, reduce stress and more. Spend some time outside reading a book or simply enjoying the feel of the sun on your face. Being outside stimulates all the senses with sounds, smells and feels, which can help with cognitive issues.
- Pack a picnic. Get some carry-out (or pick up some sandwiches from the grocery store) and have a picnic in the park – or your backyard!
- Arrange a beautiful bouquet. How does your garden grow? If you have plants sprouting in your yard and garden, clip some of the most beautiful blooms and arrange them in vases around the house. If you'd like to do a more in-depth activity, purchase flowers from the grocery store or market and spend an afternoon creating floral masterpieces with your loved one. When you're done, you can deliver the bouquets to friends and family memes who might enjoy a little cheer.
- Paint flower pots. Gardening doesn't have to only be done indoors. Container gardening is very popular, and provides an opportunity to create fun, unique flower pots. Purchase some terracotta pots and acrylic paint and design pretty pots that you can plant herbs, vegetables or flowers in.
- Spring clean your home. While spring cleaning may not immediately signal "fun activity" for you, it's an excellent opportunity to engage your loved one and give them the chance to feel useful. Choose tasks that are simple enough and within their abilities (dusting, sorting, etc).
- Cook a new dish. All sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables are in season during spring. Get inspired in the kitchen to create new, seasonally inspired dishes. Cooking is a great activity for individuals with dementia, and you may end up learning some new tips and techniques, too.
- Plant an indoor herb garden. Herbs are easy to grow indoors and add a zing to any springtime dish. Choose hardy plants like basil, thyme, oregano, chives and rosemary, and your kitchen will smell like a fine restaurant all season long.

Health agencies warn consumers about false bioactive natural product advertisements
July 27 (UB Post) The Ministry of Health and State Specialized Inspection Agency (SSIA) are warning the public to read and learn about bioactive natural products before purchasing them.
Following an inspection of 30 local importers, officials noted that the companies were found to have failed to monitor side effects, maintain the quality of the products, and ensure their safety in proper storage and transportation conditions.
Four importers are operating under the condition of addressing their violations within a given time, and after the inspection, one company was shut down for selling poor quality bioactive natural products.
State authorities also highlighted that the media has been reporting on false cases of bioactive natural products treating diseases, while they are originally produced to provide essential minerals to stay healthy and prevent disease rather than treating diseases. The SSIA advised the public to double check product information before purchase and consumption.
Corruption trial for 54 university officials postponed
July 27 (UB Post) On Wednesday, the District Primary Criminal Court no.1 was originally set to hold the trial for former director of the School of Trade at the National University of Mongolia B.Javkhlantugs and 53 other university officials for receiving bribery from students, but postponed the trial date to August 13.
The Independent Authority Against Corruption (IAAC) and Ulaanbaatar City Prosecutor's Office's joint investigation revealed that the 54 university officials, mostly teachers, have been taking briberies from students for better grades. The officials have been taking briberies repeatedly over a long period of time.
Oil & Oil Shale Mongolia 2014 scheduled for September
July 27 (UB Post) Oil & Oil Shale Mongolia 2014 international investment conference is back with a newly scheduled program on September 10 and 11, in Ulaanbaatar. The official decision to change the date was made by the hosts of the event, the Ministry of Mining, and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia and Minex Mongolia LLC, after the Parliament of Mongolia passed a new Petroleum Law on July 1, 2014.
The organizers assure there won't be future changes to the schedule, as the key reason for postponing the original April date of the event – delay in adopting the new law and current oil policy of the Government of Mongolia – is now removed.
The hosts, organizers and sponsors of the conference say they look forward to sharing the new policy document and other regulations, opportunities and investment potential in the oil and oil shale sector of Mongolia during the conference in September.
The organizers say they welcome international investors and esteemed speakers of the worldwide oil and oil shale industry to "explore the vast opportunities that exist in the untapped oil and oil shale resources of Mongolia."
Oil & Oil Shale Mongolia is the country's first international investment conference on oil, gas, and oil shale. The event will be attended by international investors, oil, gas, and oil shale companies, service providers, consultancies, equipment suppliers, and traders.
According to the organizers, the delegates will have a unique opportunity to network with the industry's key contacts and obtain vital information on legislation and policies on oil, gas, and oil shale exploration and production regulations from the officials of the Ministry of Mining and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia. Projects on oil refinery, exploration, production, and oil shale projects will be presented.
Khoshoot mine coal to be exploited
July 27 (UB Post) Mongolia Energy Corporation, registered with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, announced its decision to start exploiting coal from its Khoshoot mine located in Darvi soum of Khovd aimag. In 2014, the company sold 15,300 tons of coal, which is three times less than sales of the previous year.
The company also said its pre-tax loss narrowed to one billion USD. However, the company decreased its prices due to economic and market situations and the prospect of Khoshoot mine, which has an estimated reserve of 141.5 million tons of coal.
More than 87,000 citizens to receive food coupons
July 27 (UB Post) For five years, the Government of Mongolia has implemented a food coupon program for citizens with income below the nation's subsistence level. The Ministry of Population Development and Social Protection conducted a study to determine the subsistence level this year, and will grant 87,778 members of 15,137 families food coupons. With the monthly coupons, 10,000 MNT for adults and 5,000 MNT for children, recipients can buy food from 668 shops in Ulaanbaatar. The coupons can be used to buy meat, milk, flour, eggs, vegetables, rice and fruit.
USD exchange rate remains unstable after 38.6 million USD supplied
July 27 (UB Post) Despite Mongolbank's attempt to stabilize exchange rates, the rate of the MNT keeps decelerating. Mongolbank supplied 26.4 million USD and 10.6 million CNY (1.6 million USD) at their currency auction, and 10.6 million USD through a swap agreement on July 22. On the same day, the MNT-USD exchange rate at the Naiman Sharga currency exchange market went from 1,852 to 1,854 within a few hours. Despite the 38.6 million USD supplied by Mongolbank to the financial market, the MNT-USD exchange gap keeps growing.
The decrease of foreign direct investment and the decline of mineral product prices in international markets are the main causes of USD exchange rate acceleration. Mongolbank is in a position to tighten monetary policy in order to decrease inflation and bring balance to the USD exchange rate.

That said, this conversation has been interesting…. it goes something like this:
"I've been suggesting my mentees do something additional to make their Board Success Track more distinguished" and
"My mentee is taking the boards a few weeks before their Board Success Track ends, what do they do with the other two weeks of the course?"

From JPL: "NASA's Deep Space Network relays first command sequence for NASA's Cassini Mission to Saturn's Grand Finale."
April 11, 2017
Kristen Walbolt
Sasha Samochina
Mission Control Cassini. NASA
NASA Deep Space Network
Throughout Cassini's nearly 20-year mission, the flight team on Earth has transmitted between four and 10 weeks of commands to the spacecraft at a time. This transmission on April 11, 2017, was special. The team sent one of the final command sequences, which will control Cassini while it flies toward and eventually through the gap between Saturn's innermost ring and the planet itself. These orbits are known as Cassini's Grand Finale, the series of 22 dives through the gap, dipping into Saturn's atmosphere and occasionally through the D ring.
The computer commands were transmitted about 8:30 a.m. PDT (11:30 a.m. EDT) via NASA's Deep Space Network. It takes nearly an hour and a half of light-travel time from Earth for the commands to reach the spacecraft at Saturn. Cassini will now autonomously execute that Grand Finale sequence for the next six weeks. Another command sequence will continue the Grand Finale orbits, which last for five months.
Like all of Cassini's work, this command sequence started with the science. Scientists working with different spacecraft instruments and disciplines met with the flight team to integrate their respective planned observations with one another and with the engineering team. That led to Sequence 99, or S99, the Grand Finale. These final orbits will tell us more about Saturn's structure and its magnetic and gravitational fields. Cassini's instruments will also sample icy ring particles, improving our understanding of the composition and origins of Saturn's rings. Meanwhile its cameras will take amazing images of Saturn's rings and clouds from closer than we've ever been before.
On Sept. 15, 2017, Cassini's final orbit will send it into the planet. The spacecraft's final images will have been sent to Earth several hours before its final plunge, but even as Cassini makes its fateful dive into the planet's atmosphere, it will be sending home new data in real time. Key measurements will come from its mass spectrometer, which will sample Saturn's atmosphere, telling us about its composition until contact is lost.
How it Feels
Cassini Flight Team member Jo Pitesky describes what it is like to command the spacecraft.
Jo Pitesky. No image credit.
"I've been on Cassini on and off for 13 years. The first time I sent a command to the spacecraft was four or five years ago, which was also the first time that I was responsible for creating and approving the files that get sent up. Having my 'fingerprints' on the actual files made me feel very nervous. Even though everything gets checked by a team, it felt like I was personally responsible for what what happens happen on board."
"Some of that same feeling comes through for me when I send up a command file for a new sequence. If we need to send the file in the middle of the night (unfortunately, we don't always get Deep Space Network time scheduled at convenient hours) we can set up a time-delayed process so that we don't have to get up at 3 a.m., but if the schedule allows, we perform the 'uplink' live, on special monitor phones. It feels both formal and incredibly cool. Formal, because we have a script and a process to make sure that we are sending the right command at the right time. We carefully check the name of the file, the time that the file was created, and other identifiers. Cool, because it sounds like something out a movie. 'Cassini ACE, this is S75 SIP lead on FSO CORD over,' and 'You have a GO for radiation of file zulu 0750 foxtrot.'
Even though I've now done this many times, there's a little kid inside me that is thinking, "This is so cool!'"
Saturn 99 At a Glance
Grand Finale begins: April 26, 2017
Top speed of spacecraft: (relative to Earth): 76,806 mph
Commands executed by Cassini at Saturn: ~2.5 million
One-way transmission time from Earth to Saturn: 80 minutes
Grand Finale orbits: 22 dives between Saturn and its innermost ring
End of mission: Sept. 15, 2017
Science planners Sherwin Goo, left, and Rudy Boehmer begin the process to send the commands that will launch Cassini's Grand Finale. It will take the commands 80 minutes to travel from Earth to the spacecraft at Saturn once they are relayed via NASA's Deep Space Network. Once Cassini receives the data, it will store the commands, and begin executing them on April 14, in time to begin the Grand Finale on April 26, 2017.

How to laptop battery care? Because what makes laptop batteries run out is extreme use. Such as playing games, processing video, and multitasking.
There are several things that can be done to extend the laptop battery. Some may have you do, but how does that work?
Here's how to increase your laptop battery life.
The ability of laptops is now more reliable, has fast performance to support productivity both work and design. However, this sophistication certainly must also have a super battery.
How do We Protect Our Laptop Battery?
So how do you keep your laptop battery durable and long lasting, here are some of the ways we usually do, some might surprise you, it turns out that simple methods can also make laptop batteries more durable.
Disable Applications that Run in the Background
If you use Windows 10 this is the simplest way, because windows 10 come with various default software that sometimes we don't use. If only being a trigger for the battery being wasteful, it's better to disable this application.
You just need to go to Settings > Privacy > Background Apps.
Change the power settings
The next way is to activate Battery Saver mode. Windows 10 has two choices of modes, including Battery Saver and Normal Mode.
This feature is effective in saving laptop battery, it will automatically manage battery consumption Windows applications that are opened.
How to activate it?
Go to Settings > System > Battery > Battery saver settings, then slide the percentage according to what you needs.
What about laptops that use Windows 7?
It's easy mate, just change the power plan, Control Panel > Power Options.
You will find 2 alternative power plans, if you don't want to be complicated with the power plan settings, just select the Power Saver section, it has made your laptop battery more durable.
Why laptop battery drains fast?
The two ways above are actually enough to make laptop batteries last longer, but don't make laptops stop consuming batteries quickly, so how do you make the battery last longer and not run out?
I'm sure you have read some tips and tricks about laptop batteries, such as this TechAdvisor and PC World site. If that method still not successful, please follow this easy methods.
Use Portable Laptop Power Bank
Why should I use a power bank?
Will it not damage the laptop battery ?
Well, I understand you are worried that your laptop will be damaged, but if you use a laptop outside, then your battery runs out.
Do you directly charge the laptop power to the power source?
For a new laptop it might not be a problem during the first 3 months, what about those of you who have owned a laptop for 1 year?
I'm not sure the laptop is resistant to a charger with a broken electrical protector, right?
Besides its function of saving electricity and helping those who are working around, or the electricity is off.
This portable power bank can also make laptop batteries more durable and safe.
Use Solar Charger Panel
Ever felt a laptop battery run out but your charger was left at home? It must be very annoying isn't it.
Then can you use solar power to charge laptop batteries?
The answer; Of course you can.
Wait, what? But how?
Buy a solar charger, that's the way. With different volt sizes, the solar charger is quite easy to use, and some of advantages you can get besides helping your laptop batteries last longer.
Don't worry about your laptop will damaged because overcharged, it wouldn't.
Weakness: too large if taken anywhere, but if you use car I don't think it is a problem.
We always keep the Solar Charger in the car trunk and this tool really helps us.
Don't forget they also provide a full warranty if a problem occurs. Laptops safe, solar chargers also safe.
That the right way for Laptop Battery Care
Go with Solid-State Drives
If you have a laptop more than 2 years, and laptop batteries quickly discharged, perhaps it is time replace hard drive laptop with Solid State Drive (SSD), that more efficient electricity and light.
What is a solid state drive?
Solid State Drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data continuously.
Sometimes called solid-state disk devices, even though SSD do not have physical disks. ( Wikipedia )
There are 3 brand that we think the best, i.e :
Samsung 860 EVO 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD
Specially designed to improve the main performance of laptops. With V-NAND technology, this SSD is fast and reliable.
It has a reading speed of up to 8 times higher than the Samsung 850 EVO series.
Able to store and render large 4K videos and 3D data used by all the latest applications.
WD Blue 3D NAND SSD
Use active power, up to 25% lower than the previous generation WD Blue SSD.
You can work longer without fear the battery quickly runs out, while a read speed of up to 560MB/s and give speed you want for the most severe applications.
Have warranty 5 years.
Kingston Digital HyperX FURY SSD SATA 3
HyperX FURY offers high performance, affordable price, make faster in the game, increase boot time, load applications, and execute files to improve overall response.
HyperX FURY presents NAND BOM that make it consistently high performance for beginners and experienced users.
Buy Replacement Battery
Laptop Battery Care
Then what if a laptop is rarely used? will the use of the above way be useful? of course, there are only additional tips that you can try if the laptop is not used for a long time.
Or you go all day without bringing laptop, because the laptop battery remains active even shutdown.
Cold temperatures are usually not a problem to a certain point, and storing batteries in cold places is highly recommended.
But do not let the laptop battery in freezing temperatures. Too cold can also damage the battery permanently.
For MacBook, activate Power Nap so that you can make your Mac in sleep mode without worrying about eliminating important work, which allows you to save more battery life.

The venue seeks to combine the hip downtown aesthetic with uptown elegance in a residential-style setting, with the help of Juul-Hansen and Melanie Courbet
For most Manhattan art galleries, the design is either the cold, concrete floors and modernist pieces of downtown or the refined settings of Belle Epoque buildings, wall-to-wall carpeting, and ornate frames surrounding impressionist works uptown. At LX, a new arts space opening today at 36 East 60th Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side, designer Thomas Juul-Hansen is seeking to combine the best of both worlds in a space that brings the downtown style to the uptown scene.
The venue is the passion project of real-estate entrepreneur Louis Buckworth, who worked closely with the gallery's director, Cecilia Weaver, to develop the concept of bringing downtown to the Upper East Side with the gallery. "That was really important as an overarching theme, and to not pigeonhole ourselves and have a clear direction that would let us present exhibitions that would make sense," Weaver tells AD PRO. "The overall general feeling of downtown galleries, which tend to be more intimate, and maybe friendlier, was more of the model we looked at.
To achieve this, the duo enlisted architect Juul-Hansen, whose noted residential architecture throughout New York gives the gallery a more familiar, homelike presence for the work. According to Juul-Hansen: "It was important for me that this gallery retained some of the emotional values that residential architecture has, that it evokes an emotion of comfort you'd find in a home as opposed to the concrete box gallery. I thought that was very important for this space. For me, when I look at art and match art for my home, I personally feel it's much easier if I'm in an environment like this with the warm wood floor and great lighting."
Rather than stark white walls and a cold, stone floor, the natural, residential aesthetic exudes a relaxing vibe and makes each piece that much more approachable. When asked about what additions or design choices he made to invoke that feeling of home, Juul-Hansen cites the herringbone hardwood floors that span the space. "It's possible that in older galleries this existed, but downtown you don't find that," he says. "It's cement. It's cold to stand on. It's not what I do. Details like that, recessed flush the baseboards, and interior portal trims are all very small actions that feel not terribly different than what you might have at home. We cut a skylight in the ceiling to allow nature light to flow in all the way through the stairs to the lower level."
Complementing the art and interior architecture is a carefully composed seating area with contemporary furniture curated by design gallerist Melanie Courbet. The standouts? Two glass and rose onyx chairs from designer Quinlan Osborne, which act almost as pieces of art themselves-without overwhelming the art on the walls. According to Courbet, "We were looking at a few collections, and the one selected had its own presence without affecting the art. It's very sculptural and elegant." The furniture chosen was selected to match the works currently on display, and the team expects that with each new exhibition or show, the selection of furniture in the space will change too, blending in with each of the new works on the walls.
Weaver plans for four shows per year, with longer runs than most for each one. She's also keen on one charitable show, though she isn't yet sure which one it will be. The current exhibition on display, "I Don't Believe in Art, I Believe in Artists" is a series of contemporary works from a range of artists, curated by Jen DeNike. It will be on display until March 15.

Mum worries about her 3 year old at kinder! Are they doing anything, or is it just minder care? But the little one can tell Mum …
Mum worries far more about her 33 year old with little ability and no meaningful communications, living in a government group home!
So what has mum to worry about with her 33 year old? It's all about, "Who Cares".
Who cares about those special things mothers do so well for their vulnerable family member, whether he or she be 3 or 33.
In most group homes it is the person's key worker who is supposed to emulate the person's parent – take care of the person's special needs.
Those who can do little for themselves, need someone to take special care of them …
Yes, we know there are many more, but we feel this shows the concerns most parents have in respect to group homes. And why many parents look to 'Self-Directed Approaches" through ISPs. Nevertheless, not everyone has the health or energy for SDA, and must resort to a group home.

The latest Audi A4 is finally here, and it has joined the executive segment that has previously been controlled by both Mercedes and BMW. Despite the fierce competition, Audi is now aiming higher with the new A4. Consequently, how does Audi A4 compare to the BMW 3 Series?
Despite the fact that the new Audi A4 has a new design that is based on a brand new platform, it is hard to notice the difference from a distance. It now has angular lines, neat proportions as well as refined details. The new Audi A4 is approximately 120kg lighter than the older model; the difference is the result of the intelligent use of high-tech materials. When compared to BMW 3 Series, the Audi A4 is the widest and longest of the two. The BMW 3 Series was given a sporty twist through a purposeful stance, new headlights, smart double grille and new headlights. They both have a 480-litre boot and option of full-LED headlights that have enhanced the front end look. Additionally, .
When it comes to the interior, German cars have always been revered for their quality. The interior of the new A4 is based on well-established horizontal lines that give it a sense of strength and width. They both have provided a host of advanced technology with MMI powering the Audi A4 infotainment and iDrive controlling the BMW 3 Series. As much as the two systems are advanced and sophisticated, MMI is to some extent more intuitive of the two. Audi A4 comes with Audi Connect, an in-car wireless internet that feeds data to the one of a kind navigation system. On the other hand, BMW 3 Series provides an outstanding HUD (head-up display) that is now available on the Audi A4
The new Audi A4 engine has reduced fuel consumption by 21% and increased its power by 25%. It has a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces 220 horsepower; this brings it closer to the BMW 3 Series engine that produces 240 horsepower.
When it comes to the driving quality, both cars are hanging to the sporty side and show sporadic harshness over rougher surfaces. The two cars handle sharp bends superbly. Nonetheless, BMW 3 Series steering tracks more cleanly than the Audi A4.
In regards to safety, the BMW 3 Series is a step ahead of the Audi A4. In previous reviews, it has been given a five stars rating various highway associations. However, the two have received good ratings from insurance institutes. The integral strength of the construction methods of the Audi A4 ensures that when the passengers are involved in a crash, they are all protected from the worst forces involved. It has collision detection systems enabling it to brake on itself and stop a skid from occurring.
Despite the different designs, model and body styles that are placed under either of the two names, both the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series have an element that is appealing to most luxury buyers. The BMW 3 Series has the performance edge that the adventurous drivers regularly look for, although the Audi A4 is not far off. When all the sophisticated and high-tech gadgets, as well as a pure design, are the elements to consider, it is the Audi A4 that wins.

Cycling Without Age – Community Spirit
If, like me, you're a Brighton resident and often take a stroll along the seafront, you may have seen some curious looking cycles with two elderly people riding upfront as passengers. All part of Cycling Without Age, a charity whose volunteers take local care home residents out for some sea air safely tucked up in one of their 'trishaws'. These fabulous cycles are built with a three wheel frame complete with double passenger cab at the front. This amazing charity is a beautiful example of care in the community and these lovely volunteers give up their time in order to put something back into their local area. I often see them cycling past the shop, with their gorgeous passengers, some over 80 years old, often with advanced dementia, off for a ride along the seafront! Cheerful and full of smiles, they are clearly enjoying being out in the fresh air and having a bit of an adventure, and without these incredible volunteers this would not be possible. It also presents a wonderful opportunity to stop and have a chat, and enjoy some interaction with passersby including children, who I've noticed are often fascinated by these curious looking cycles and love to chat and interact with their elderly occupants. Such a great way for these beautiful older people to still feel part of, and experience, their city. The health benefits of fresh air, wind and sun are well known, and this is an amazing way for volunteers and their passengers to make the most of the outdoors.
In their own words, Cycling Without Age Brighton & Hove, aim to "take local elder care homes' residents out on cycle rides to feel the wind in their hair! Most rarely have the chance to enjoy an outdoor adventure otherwise"! Their principles are generosity, slow cycling, storytelling, relationships and community.
Why not volunteer to become a pilot? You will be helping to provide a comfortable ride that is fun, fully insured and free to passengers! There is a 50/50 male to female split of cycle pilots and as these fabulous cycles are power assist, you don't need to be super-sporty!
With an ageing population, and more and more elderly people being housed in care homes, this superb charity is setting an example of how we should all be doing something for our local community, particular our senior citizens that can often be forgotten about.
We can all do our bit and support this incredible charity by volunteering, or donating to their fund! With a trishaw costing around £7000, not to mention the insurance costs, you can imagine that the financial implications of running an organisation such as this are sizeable! Your donations will be greatly appreciated and you can visit their website cwabrighton.org.uk or give directly HERE!
The passengers like nothing better than cuddling up with a soft toy and a snuggly blanket, it's important to keep warm! And they love to meet new friends on their travels, such as this gorgeous dog!
Cycling Without Age is a super important organisation and needs to continue it's vital work in our city for our residents and they need our HELP! Come on, get involved and donate or volunteer! Find out more on their social media – facebook page, twitter, or instagram!

When it comes to data collection and reporting on the sustainability of their assets, Nordic real estate company Genesta trusts in the solutions Nuuka has to offer. Using Nuuka, Genesta has been able to make major improvements in efficiency and quality of data collection. At the same time Nuuka facilitates composing reports that comply with the high GRESB standards. In this interview, David Neil, CEO of Genesta tells us more about the decision to use Nuuka for their sustainability reporting and efficiency gains.
Neil: Basically, we had three major challenges.
Energy consumption communication
To provide our stakeholders with accurate consumption information, we needed a data platform to realize this. Together with the people of Nuuka, we did a walkthrough of the sites. There we gave a very detailed description of what we would be needing to automate the data collection and reporting. Nuuka was willing to do the implementation from start to finish. This was crucial to us, since we are a very lean organisation without the resources needed for this specific project
GRI and GRESB standards
For investor communication we needed a GRI and GRESB based tool. Nuuka was very proactive and innovative in developing a reporting tool that actually helps us to reach this goal.
Internal reporting on sustainability metrics
Nuuka helped us to transparantly set both short- and long term targets at the portfolio, building and fund levels, and compare these targets to realized data.
Neil: The main reason for selecting Nuuka was the fact, that Nuuka sells a 'plug and play' solution that can be customized. With a lot of enthusiasm and in co-creation with us, they developed the system according to our requirements. In this way, we got the best of both worlds - a readymade system and a willingness to adapt it to our purposes. We were looking for a tool that would help us to automate our reporting towards GRESB and GRI, and Nuuka's solution did just that. We have been using Nuuka's solution for several years now. Till this day their willingness to keep on developing their platform to meet our changing and evolving needs makes them a reliable and sustainable partner.
Neil: There were two big reasons why we decided to partner up with Nuuka. First of all, Nuuka offers data collection solutions that are manufacturer independent. Since we have a variety of installations and equipment, being able to connect with our different systems is an important consideration in choosing our supplier. Besides that, their solutions are tailored for property investors who need to get data on their assets for sustainability reporting
Neil: The decision making process is quite straightforward at Genesta. First, together with our sustainability team and the IT and Marketing Department, we had preliminary discussions with Nuuka. After defining two projects, I gave a formal OK. During the implementation, Nuuka met with a lot of people, many of which they also trained. In this way we teamed up with Nuuka to innovate and implement from the beginning.
Neil: In the real estate market it becomes more and more important to comply with standards like GRESB on sustainability reporting. The reporting gives us the opportunity to benchmark our property assets. Nuuka's reporting tools automatically arranges synchronized asset data directly from the data sources towards the report which complies with GRESB survey standards. This saves us time and guarantees a high data quality.
Neil: Immediately, we could streamline our entire sustainability data collection process, which saved us a lot of time. On top of that the quality of the sustainability information improved a great deal. On the long term, the increased attention on sustainability issues within our organization was rewarded with the GRESB Green Star Status in 2015.
Nuuka provides a process analytics platform for public and commercial buildings. Nuuka ensures a productive work environment for users, helps to reduce energy consumption and maintains sustainable real estate activities.
Nuuka provides faster data collection, improved data quality and structure. This leads to easier and quicker reporting to GRESB standards

GRADE 2: I Am The True Vine- First Eucharist & Reconciliation
Preparation for the Sacraments of First Communion and First Reconciliation is a two-year program, beginning in Grade 1. If your child was not registered in a Religious Education program in Grade 1, please contact the Religious Education office to determine what he or she will need to do to prepare to enter our Grade 2 Sacraments program.
The Eucharist in one of the three Sacraments of Initiation in the Roman Catholic Church. It completes the incorporation begun in Baptism and Confirmation. In the Eucharist, Christ becomes food that sustains us as we grow in discipleship. The Eucharist always represents a new beginning, the constant renewal of the life of Christ within us. During his public life, Jesus welcomed everyone into his presence. Despite objections, he welcomed children, outcasts, and sinners. The Church that Jesus founded strives to follow Jesus' example as a welcoming community.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is central to following Jesus, for he devoted his life to the forgiveness of sin. He always forgave people their sins because it was integral to his mission. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is also central to being members of the Christian community, for there can be no love and peace within the community of believers if there is not forgiveness among us.
View the full Scope and Sequence for Grade 2
Grade 2 Meeting Time: Mondays from 4:14 – 5:30 pm
All classes will begin with a gathering in Our Lady of Providence Hall. Parents are welcome to stay and join us in prayer and celebration!

The entire family unit or close friends who are likely to accompany you would be excited regarding the even though trip and depend on the merriment for the seaside. You might even realize that the time fly off like; several hours look like short minutes and moments take a look like a few seconds.
In comparison, imagine you and your good friends leave upon a trip without organizing as to the best.

6 Steps you can take today to achieve your financial goals
Are you struggling to manage your household expenses, mortgage repayments and other unexpected bills that always seem to arrive at the wrong time? It might be time for you to sit down and create a budget that works for you.
Many homeowners have achieved their financial goals a lot sooner by creating and following a careful budget. Who knows – you might even be able to pay a little more off your mortgage each month and be mortgage free a couple of years sooner.
Step 1 – Identify how you're spending money now
Get out the bank statements, receipts and online banking, and spend some time examining exactly what you spend money on now. Be honest, and don't forget to factor in the things that only come up on occasion – like car registration, birthday presents, Christmas etc.
Step 2 – Set goals for the future
Work out what you hope to achieve by implementing your budget. This will help to motivate you because you will be working towards an actual goal and you can see the results.
Step 3 – Use budgeting software or other methods for monitoring spending
There are some incredible programs available now for budgeting, accounting and monitoring spending. Many of these can be synced with your internet banking so that they automatically collate the information for you.
Step 4 – Leave room for the occasional unscheduled purchase
There's no use creating a strict budget if you can't stick to it. If you currently go out for dinner once a week, rather than removing it altogether, try budgeting for dinner out once a month. If you don't feel like your life has come to an end, you're more likely to stick to the budget and achieve your goals.
Step 5 – Watch out for disappearing notes
Do $20 notes seem to grow legs and walk out of your wallet whenever you stop at the ATM? If you don't need to withdraw cash then try to avoid it. Most outlets have EFTPOS facilities these days, so try using your card for small purchases, rather than withdrawing money and making it disappear.
Step 6 – Don't count on uncertain wins
Don't spend money that you can't afford, because you think that you might be getting a tax return this year. It's dangerous to rely on any money that isn't definite when you create your budget. Maybe you could wait until you actually receive the money and then do something really special with it once you have it.

The False Start : Bad for Runners, Not great for Sellers
Sometimes we are the mercy of timing and have no choice. The house needs to be put up for sale now. Make that yesterday!
When time permits though, avoid the perils of the Real Estate False Start.
It is a known fact that the first 2 or 3 weeks after listing a home are critical. We would argue, the 2 or 3 weeks before listing are nearly as important.
It is very difficult to have buyers come through a home that "isn't quite" ready for sale.
Are the closets cleaned? Floors and trim freshly cleaned and/or painted? Are the wall repairs done? Is the landscaping under control? How about that cracked window pane in the basement?
These and many other factors can lead to a Real Estate False Start. Basically, you are asking the buyers to get excited enough to book an appointment and come out to see your home.
Then, asking them to understand that there are 2 or 3 or 14 or 15 things to be done next week. So, they then have to be motivated enough to either see past all of these issues (which many aren't) or "get ready to run" again in a few weeks when they house is actually ready for presentation.
Will they have the energy and motivation?
If you're able, bring your home to market when it is ready to run full speed!
Thank-you for visiting.
