MILWAUKEE (Nov. 22, 2016) – Cousins Subs® introduces enhanced mobile ordering app to improve user experience.
The updated app, which is now live for both iOS and Android devices, offers increased functionality, bold graphical features and a modernized design that aligns with Cousins new branding elements.
"At Cousins, our priority is our guests and the experience they have at our restaurants both in-store and online. We consistently look for ways to better that experience and that includes an investment in technology," said Justin McCoy, vp of marketing at Cousins Subs. "As the digital landscape continues to evolve, we must evaluate and work to meet consumer demands. The improvements to our mobile app are just some of the investments we are making to stay ahead of the evolution."
When users update the Cousins mobile app through the Apple or Google Play app stores, they will have access to the following new features:
• Updated user interface
• Restaurant location attributes and filter by feature (Grill, Fryer, Delivery, Wi-Fi, etc.)
• Favorite / Unfavorite locations
• Ability to transfer basket between different locations while ordering
• Ability to find locations by map
• Stability and usability improvement
In June 2014, Cousins rolled out a new online ordering system and mobile app with features that allow guests to find a restaurant based on their current location, browse menu and catering options, pay for their order via the app and provide feedback about their dining experience.
"In addition to our system's user-friendly interface, a guest ordering feature is also integrated, meaning users aren't forced to log in to place an order," said McCoy. "Our frequent customers have the option to create an online ordering account that allows them to save their favorite stores and orders as well as credit card information—equaling a quick ordering process time and time again."
To ensure the mobile app is as fast and easy-to-use as possible, Cousins works with Olo, a best-in-class provider of online and mobile ordering for the restaurant industry.
Guests can place orders by visiting cousinssubs.com or by downloading the mobile app from the Apple or Google Play stores.

Health Innovation: Creating a Sustainable Food City: Two-day Workshop
Two-day Workshop: Day 1: Thursday 23rd & Day 2: Thursday 30th April 2020
Delivered as part of Lancaster University's Health Innovation Campus this two-day workshop is for small and medium-sized businesses who are interested in the health and wellbeing sector.
A healthy diet is a fundamental determinant of good physical and mental health, it is also widely recognised as a preventative measure for a number of long-term illnesses. Statistics show that Lancashire adults consume fewer fruit and vegetables than the UK average, and with the concentration of fast food outlets also higher than average, there is a clear indication that regional citizen health could be improved by better access to healthy food and nutritional advice.
If you are a food producer, nutrition or wellbeing expert, or part of a charity or social enterprise working in the area of food and nutrition, or perhaps you are a local business with an interest in community food solutions, this workshop is for you.
You will hear from local experts on the challenges and opportunities surrounding community food innovations such as food poverty, a sustainable food economy, affordability, and the resources and knowledge needed for food solutions.
Throughout the workshop you will explore ideas using a proven innovation process called Design Thinking. This process has been tried and tested in a number of sectors and provides a person-centred and structured approach to drive and implement innovation. You will put Design Thinking into practice working collaboratively to develop some solutions to food focused health challenges and leave with the tools to use in your own business or organisation.
Workshop benefits:
- Be inspired, challenged, and motivated to innovate
- Understand the opportunities and benefits of sustainable community food innovations
- Understand the challenges of behaviour change, affordability and the supply chain
- Identify opportunities for new products and services ideal for the health and wellbeing sector
- Learn to use new tools that will help drive innovation forward for your organisation
Delegate feedback:
Read more about the benefits of this creative innovation workshop for one business owner.
Who should get involved?
This two-day workshop will support aspirational businesses and organisations based in Lancashire (including social enterprises and charities). It is open to those from any sector who have a product or service idea that could be applied to the health and wellbeing sector or those with plans to explore the sector as a growth opportunity.
Additional Information
Places are fully-funded and available to businesses who meet European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) eligibility criteria. Places are limited to only one representative per organisation.
Criteria includes:
- Currently trading and based in Lancashire
- With fewer than 250 full-time employees

There is an urgent need to develop and commercialize technologies for the sustainable conversion and use of energy. The goal of these energy minors is to prepare students for careers that require training in energy science and technology, efficiency, and policy. Clean technologies and green technologies including energy are some of the fastest growing markets for new investments.
Energy Efficiency
There is an urgent need to develop and commercialize technologies for the sustainable conversion and use of energy. The goal of these minors is to prepare students for careers that require training in energy science and technology, efficiency, and policy. Clean technologies and green technologies including energy are some of the fastest growing markets for new investments. Well-trained individuals in all related fields are needed to provide the level of expertise required to advance technology and policy and to satisfy national and global objectives for greater energy sustainability.
Avian Sciences
The flexibility of the program and the close personal interaction between students, faculty, and specialists in the field give students a large role in selecting and designing their own course work.
Independent study, undergraduate research, and internships are emphasized in the Avian Sciences program. Birds for laboratory or special study are housed within the main building as well as at the research farm and the experimental aviary.
Agricultural Systems and Environment
This minor provides the student with fundamental knowledge of issues involving sustainable agriculture production and range management. Agriculture is one of the major industries of California and the world, and plays a central role in human affairs. Linking knowledge of agriculture with the subject matter of the student's major provides a useful and interesting breadth of application in areas involving economics, management, and social and environmental issues.
Agricultural Pest Management
Feeding the growing global population is a perpetual challenge. Some insects, other arthropods and nematodes can devastate crops, while others are valuable natural enemies of these pests. Contemporary pest management stresses effectiveness, environmental protection and economic feasibility.
Students taking this minor will learn basic insect biology and taxonomy, and will take a selection of courses which train them in the concepts and practices of modern pest management. This minor will support careers in agriculture, agricultural systems, horticulture and pest management.
Aging and Adult Development
The Human Development minor is useful for students planning a career in the human services (such as teaching, social work or occupational therapy) and majoring in other disciplines.
Marine and Coastal Science—Oceans and the Earth System
Our oceans account for more than 96 percent of the world's water, and few of the world's coastlines are beyond the influence of human pressures. The interdisciplinary Marine and Coastal Science major highlights the terrestrial-marine interface, coastal issues and human impacts on the marine environment.
Geology is the study of the Earth, and in particular its history, structure, and the processes that have molded our planet and its biosphere. Geology involves the origin of continents and ocean basins, earthquakes and volcanoes, variations in global climate, and how these physical changes impact the evolution of life. All of these planetary processes are viewed through the prism of 'deep time', a perspective unique to geoscientists and one that distinguishes geology from most of the other physical sciences.
From the twitch of a muscle fiber to the silent explosion of a supernova, every happening in the universe is linked at an atomic level by the principles of chemistry. Chemists analyze substances, like testing environmental samples; create new substances, as in medical and product manufacturing; test theories using chemical analysis; and measure the properties of substances, like the strength of materials used in engineering.
Civil Engineering
Civil engineers are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of structures that form the transportation, resource distribution, environmental systems and physical infrastructure of contemporary society. From bay-spanning bridges to earthquake-safe buildings, civil engineers design and build solutions to an enormous variety of problems. Increasingly, civil engineers are called upon to safeguard the health of our environment by managing and improving air, land and water quality with air, water and waste treatment systems.

Tom Antion: Interplay
I love to interact with the audience. It is much easier now that
wireless microphones are so readily available. I can go right
into the audience, I can sit in one of their chairs, I can sit on
an audience member's lap if I want to (by now you should have
realized that I am inclined to be totally irreverent if I know
the audience can handle it).
You don't have to be as wild as I sometimes am to get the job
done. You can calmly go into the audience with a wireless
handheld microphone. Let the audience members ask their questions
directly to you while you hold the mic to their mouths so that
everyone else can hear. (Don't forget to bring the microphone
back to your mouth for the answer.)
Another technique I use frequently is to speak directly to one
audience member. It goes like this, "Sharon, this is just between
you and me." Whenever I do this, I can see out of the corner of
my eye everyone else killing themselves to eavesdrop on Sharon
and me. They feel like they are getting to hear something secret.
One-on-one interplay is also good when you are teasing or doing a
little roast humor on someone in the group. "Joe, lots of people
believe that you are one of the top sales managers in the
company. . . . Lots of people believe in the Easter Bunny too!"
I'll go right up to someone in the audience and touch them on the
shoulder while I'm talking (don't do this in Asia). I might say
(reading their nametag to get the name) "John here may have the
highest sales volume, but if his net income is no good, John is
not a happy guy."
Some speakers make up skits and give the audience members easy,
but funny, parts to play. This is just an advanced form of role-
Don't be afraid to get right in there and get your audience
involved, physically, mentally, and emotionally and you will be
on your way to becoming a NO ZZZZZs presenter.

Renoir: Revered and Reviled
Ticket prices are $16 for general admission, $12 for Members, and $9 for students (student tickets available only at the box office, not online).
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is best known and loved for his impressionist paintings of Paris.
Renoir, however, grew tired of this style and changed course.
This stunning film – based on the remarkable collection of 181 Renoirs at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia – examines the direction he took and why it continues to provoke such strong reactions.
Some claim they are repulsed by Renoir's later works and some claim they are seduced. What may surprise many is that among the many artists who sought Renoir's new works out and were clearly highly influenced by them were the two giants of the 20th century – Picasso and Matisse.
The film is a fresh new biography of this artistic giant and, more than that, it uncovers a rarely told story that places Renoir as a critical link between the old and the new.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday: How to optimally utilise these sales days
Black Friday and Cyber Monday – the two special offer days that herald the discount battle before the annual Christmas business begins. Besides stationary retail, online shops are also luring custom through various campaigns. The origin of these two days lies in the USA, where Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. On the bridging day thereafter the shopping holiday of Black Friday has traditionally taken place for several decades now. Cyber Monday marks the high-selling Monday after the holiday weekend, on which many Americans peacefully engage in online shopping.
In Germany also, these sales campaigns are becoming increasingly popular. Online retailers offer their customers considerable discounts here and consumers use these two days to buy Christmas presents. In 2016, record turnovers were generated. On the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, according to an analysis by Statista and PAYONE, German eCommerce turned over more than 1.2 billion euros – eleven percent more than in 2015. Also interestingly, online retailers generated 409 million euros on Black Friday and on Cyber Monday it was 328 million euros.
This year sees the start of the Black Friday sale on November 23, 2017. Over a period of 24 hours, customers will have the opportunity of exploiting these campaigns from online shops. Then on November 27, 2017, Cyber Monday will take place. In our article "Using Black Friday and Cyber Monday successfully: 5 tips for online retailers", we've put together five helpful tips for the two web holidays. Today, we'll show you which aspects to also consider for successful online retailing on these two days. Despite their popularity among consumers, success at this time is by no means a foregone conclusion.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday herald the highest sales season of the year
Although the sales weekend only extends from November 23rd to the 27th, it does not mean that special promotions have to be limited to this period. In preparation for the Christmas period, consumers expect attractive offers in advance and also afterwards.
As a study by Arvato SCM Solutions on Black Friday 2016 shows, many retailers were thus extending their sales campaigns. Whereas in 2015, some 41 percent of companies limited themselves to Black Friday and only 30 percent of their customers reacted over several days, in 2016 it was exactly the other way around: barely a quarter of online retailers trusted that offers would be sufficient for that one day alone. By contrast, 37 percent let their campaigns run for more than three days and took advantage of the subsequent Cyber Monday week. A Google Trends analysis also shows that the search for discounts were already growing strongly at the end of October and then continued until mid-December.
Accordingly, these two days are a good opportunity for you as an online retailer to initiate the high-revenue Christmas season and to lure potential customers with special offers into your own webshop. How to optimally prepare for this season, we show you in our upcoming article "How to prepare your online shop for the Christmas business".
Successful online shops are planning the web holidays based on a three-step process
The Arvato Study also shows that successful online shops are planning for Black Friday oriented on a three-stage process. The first step is to define the exact objective of the promotion. Should, for example, new customers be acquired over the longer term, or would you only like to achieve a short-term sales boost? The second step is the planning of a concept which depends upon the strategic objective. This involves defining the target group, creating added value and also shaping the promotion. It is also important to work out a communication strategy and the corresponding channels, as well as eliminating any stumbling blocks. Afterwards, it will be necessary to check on the achievement of goals and to adapt any upcoming campaigns accordingly.
To ensure your success in this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday campaigns, you should also be guided by this mix of strategic planning and evaluation.
Consumers are increasingly shopping for mobile devices during Christmas business
You will have a decisive advantage if you optimise your website for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. According to a study by Adobe Digital Insights, as early as 2016, a quarter of all online purchases in Europe during the Christmas period were made via a mobile device – and that trend still remains upward. For you, this means that a mobile site is no longer an additional option, but now an obligation if you wish to remain competitive. During the introduction, make sure that texts, images and navigation are adapted accordingly, and then check your site over on different devices. With a perfect optimisation, you will ensure that your customers on tablets and smartphones see the same product, are offered information as on other devices and ultimately enjoy the self same brand experience.
During the holiday season of 2016, a quarter of turnover was generated via mobile devices. With a share of 14 percent, the smartphone is also leading the tablet for the first time (Source: Adobe Digital Insights).
Towards year's end, the price war becomes markedly acute
For successful positioning in online retail, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekends and Christmas also, you should monitor and analyse the pricing strategy of your competitors in the preparation and follow-up to these campaign periods.
To precisely follow the development of competitor prices and to more rapidly adapt your own prices, many online retailers use automated solutions. Our intelligent software solution blackbee shows you which prices your competitors demand at which time for products that you also carry in your assortment, and do so on the basis of highly valid and precise data. You can thus quickly see how competitive your online prices are and strengthen your position in the highly competitive online market.
In blackbee, we offer you a customised tool for price monitoring and price management. Test blackbee now and profit from the advantages of an automated software solution.

I took a vacation from my blog.
What started out as a small break from writing while my dad was here turned into a full blown vacation from everything for two weeks. And I enjoyed the break. Then, when my dad left and I told myself it was time to establish some sort of routine for the summer, I just sort of fell apart. No, not in any serious way, but more in a how do I get back into a groove? sort of way.
Right now I'm still trying to adjust to summer, and it feels as if the whole thing is already slipping through my fingers. I am too hard on myself — always have been — and part of myself is expecting me to bounce right on into a productive routine; to develop a plan for summer and beyond. Another part of myself wants so desperately to just be laid back about it all and enjoy the lack of appointments and obligations. I wish the laid back part of me could take control, but it seems to be fighting a losing battle because I am driving myself crazy with all these expectations I seem to have.
I even thought that I might abandon the blog.
But here I am. Again.

Law firms are very important organizations that intervene for individuals and help them in gaining legal justice. As you understand, the main product in the law firms is the customers. There are also other stakeholders in the law firms such as the attorneys and even agents for the lawyers. A competent law firm should employ quality staff that has all the experience and that have a proven adherence to the ethical standards that bound the customers. A good law firm should have an effective leader who is committed to making the law firm successful, who is committed to serving all the customers and also who can make many clients love the brand name of the law firm.
Effective leaders in the law firm at danielstonelaw.com will make the organization grow. They might lose touch with the people who they help to improve in lawsuits but they should the best office partners that any employee will be comfortable working with. These leaders would really understand the satisfaction of the clients, ensure that the job is satisfying to the attorneys employed in the firm as well as understanding the legal framework of the entire firm. Even the firm grow to whatever height, effective leaders will never lose focus on all the partners and activities of the organization.
Compassion for the clients is what should come first for any law firm. The attorneys in the law firms should sympathize with the situation their clients are undergoing. They can choose to sit down with the clients and share the problems that the clients have. You will find that many law firms are losing clients due to their greedy for money. The attorneys should not focus on the money the client can offer but prioritize on the accomplishing the need the clients have. Clients would want that one attorney who will handle their legal cases and make them win for their cases. In a case where the law firm is firing and employing new attorneys, this can turn the clients away to other law firms. Get More Info!
The law firm should consider specializing in a certain law area. The law covers diversified suits and it is not good for the law firm to generalize its activities. Becoming the best a certain area of the law and developing all the changes can be the best way to ensure that the law firm offers quality services. For instance, if an attorney claims to handle different types of cases, you have to think twice.

Myrcene and β-Pinene
You have questions about myrcene and β-pinene, and we have answers! These are two of our favorite terpenes, and we're pretty sure they're about to be yours, too.
Indica versus Sativa?
Myrcene is a monoterpene (meaning small and volatile). It's great for helping you relax and getting you to sleep. (read more here > Ethan Russo's comprehensive terpene study) If you've ever wondered about the difference between indica and sativa, the answer is myrcene. Steep Hill Labs found strains containing more myrcene have sedative (indica) effects and strains with less tend toward sativa.
Loads of Mangoes
Ever hear the rumor that mangoes make you feel extra high? You can thank myrcene for that, too. According to a study on the terpenes in mangoes (Volatile components from mangoes), the fruit contains 0.000012% myrcene. So, you'd have to eat a lot to notice a difference, but we're not about to squash your scientific curiosity!
Oh, that fresh forest scent
Pinene is another small monoterpene. It's the most common terpene found in nature. You can find it in tons of plants, including pine trees of course! Plants love it because the smell repels bugs. For those of us without chlorophyll, pinene has anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. Plus, it can help improve your memory.
Now, what was I talking about again? Oh right, time to go track down a strain with pinene!

A Dropbox in the Clouds
While I was going through the book, cloud computing really stuck out to me because I just used Dropbox last week as well (Thanks Amy!). If you haven't used Dropbox, it's awesome! Dropbox is a cloud application that is quickly downloaded onto your computer through the Dropbox website. After being downloaded, Dropbox creates a folder on your computer that you can use like any other folder. But, not all folders are created equal. This Dropbox folder syncs to an online folder in the cloud that can be accessed from anywhere or shared with anyone.
It didn't sound too impressive until I tried it. Amy is making some videos introducing SPLAT members, so she needs content from each of us. Instead of spending a bunch of time attaching the large video and image files to an email, I dropped them into my Dropbox folder, and it synced online. I then went to the website, clicked Share and shared them with Amy by entering her email. Even though many of my files can be sent through email, anytime I need to send a large file I'm going to be using Dropbox from now on. It will also be useful if I have a project that I need to access from several different computers, because the files can be accessed from anywhere. It's pretty cool!

Dedicated to T with an I
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever but less communication. We have become long on quantiity, but short on quality.
These are times fast foods, but slow digestion, tall man, but short character, steep profits, but shallow relationships, it is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. We have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but Learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
What type of life can one enjoy if they do not have time to sit down and talk with an old friend for 5 minutes?
Hey T with an I, remember to give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
You do have some right?

Table toppers Australia ended the regular season of the Men's International Hockey Federation Pro League with a superb 4-1 away victory over The Netherlands in Amsterdam.
Blake Govers and Jeremy Hayward both scored twice at the Wagener Stadium as the Kookaburras recorded their 10th victory in 14 Pro League outings.
Both countries were already assured of a place in the top four and with it a spot at the season-ending Grand Finals but Australia showed no sign of easing off the gas.
The match pitted the world number two Australians against the world number three Dutch at the same venue which will host the Grand Finals from June 27.
This meant a bumper-crowd but a problem with the watering system delayed the start by two hours with the fire brigade needing to be called to wet the surface.
When play did begin all of the goals arrived from penalty corners with Govers firing home a drag flick to open the scoring after five minutes.
Jip Janssen levelled two minutes later but with 14 minutes played Hayward netted his first to put the Australians back in front.
In the second quarter Govers was unsuccessful from two penalty corners before finally finding the net again with his third opportunity.
This was his 10th Pro League goal to move him joint level in the scoring charts with Spain's Pau Quemada.
In the dying moments of the third quarter Hayward's drag flick increased the Australian advantage.
"It was a pretty good game, we are pretty happy with that," said Hayward, the player of the match.
"They got a few chances no doubt, but I think we are now just going to get ready for next week in the Finals.
"We'll take a couple of days off, then we'll be out here training, getting used to the turf and getting ready for the Finals."
Australia, the three-time World Cup winners who won the Olympic gold medal in Athens in 2004, will be looking to add another major title at the first staging of the Pro League.
European champions Netherlands could not back-up their shoot-out win over the Australians in Melbourne, which followed a thrilling 5-5 draw, with their loss potentially proving significant for the Grand Final semi-final line-up.
A point for Argentina tomorrow against world champions Belgium, who have also already qualified, would see the South Americans claim third spot with the Dutch dropping to fourth.
That would mean Australia again facing the Dutch in the last four with Argentina and Belgium also meeting for a second time in quick succession.
However, a win for Belgium in Antwerp would leave the door open for Britain who would then finish fourth if they beat New Zealand in their match in London tomorrow.
One women's match was also played today with Germany edging hosts United States 3-2 at Spooky Nook in Lancaster.
With Germany among the countries already assured of a top four place the game was preparation for their Grand Final ambitions.
The Americans, who have ended the Pro League last with just one win from 16 matches, got themselves in front when Danielle Grega tapped home after 12 minutes.
Hannah Granitzki's rocket drew the visitors level just two minutes later and the Germans then grabbed two more goals in the third quarter.
Franzisca Hauke put them in front before a Rebecca Grote drag flick from a penalty corner increased the advantage.
Ashley Hoffman converted from a penalty corner of her own to bring the US back into the game with 45 minutes played but they could not find a leveller.
Germany will definitely finish fourth and will play league winners The Netherlands in the Grand Final last four.
Argentina v Australia has also been confirmed as a semi-final.
Tomorrow's last round of fixtures will see the Dutch play Australia in Amsterdam, Belgium play Argentina in Antwerp and Britain meet New Zealand in London.

"Life and Death Are in the Power of the Tongue" Proverb
This may have been a proverb but now it is being proven to be so true. Through the amazing abilities of the functional 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging' (MRI), we now how true this is. This technology is able to show what areas of the brain light up when feel we are being judged, excluded or limited in some way. This is usually the area that has been called the Amygdala which is the stress centre of the brain. It is responsible for pumping out chemicals. You are probably all familiar with cortisol and although we all need some cortisol to get us out of bed in the morning, we don't want the amounts that are going to shut down the part of our brain that is called the executive brain. If we are stressed enough that will happen, and we won't be able to reason well, to empathise with others or create a good connection through conversation.
If on the other hand we are treated with appreciation, celebration and we are included, the front part of the brain, the Pre-frontal Cortex pumps out a chemical known as Oxytocin. This is also called the Bonding or Hugging Hormone. The heart feels good, and we open up to the other person we are communicating with. We trust the other person and we are able to co-create a conversation that is healthy for both people. It may not be literal death with cortisol or life with oxytocin but it can feel very different to hear words of inclusion and appreciation, than it does to hear criticism and judgement. How can you mind the power of your tongue going forward?
Enjoy seeing the results of 'Minding Your Tongue!'

Maintaining good personal hygiene, washing laundry and bed linens at least weekly are examples of what is expected of guests. Guests must pull their own weight when it comes to daily chores in the house and cleaning up after themselves. Bathroom articles must be kept in a toilet kit or zip-lock bag in rooms. No food or drinks in the rooms at any time. Smoking is only allowed in the backyard and ashtrays must be used and kept clean. If you make a mess, you clean it up.

Daily and weekly schedules will be posted on the bulletin board. Beds are to be made daily and laundry will be done on your scheduled day only.
4. BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR: Guests must be "good neighbors". We must be considerate as well as friendly and responsive to a neighbor's needs. You agree to respect house rules and other guests. If you believe another guest has made an unreasonable request related to your personal habits, bring the situation up with management.
6. REFUNDS: No refunds will be given if guest is asked to leave for any reason.
7. CURFEW: The curfew during the week is midnight and 1:00am Friday & Saturday. No cooking or watching TV after this time so as not to disturb those who get up early for work.

No Tramadol. No Seroquel. All medications must be disclosed to house manager before moving into the facility.
13. INFORMING MANAGEMENT ABOUT A GUEST WHO HAS RELAPSED: You will alert management immediately should you discover that another guest has relapsed and is using drugs or alcohol. Some clients feel this is "ratting" and hesitate to do it. The fact is you could be saving a life by alerting management about somebody using, as you don't know what their medical status is. Even if it is just drinking, the next seizure could be their last. You are not "ratting" on anybody because the agreement to inform us as management supersedes any "promise to keep this a secret" request the relapser has made, no matter how good you imagine your friendship to be. A true friend will put the wheels of rescue in motion by talking to management.
14. YOU ARE NOT A TENANT UNDER FLORIDA STATE LAW: YOU RECOGNIZE AND ADMIT THAT AS FAR AS OUR ABILITY TO REQUEST THAT YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR ANY REASON WE DEEM NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE HOUSE ATMOSPHERE AS ONE CONDUCIVE TO SOBRIETY, THAT YOU ARE NOT LEGALLY A TENANT INSOFAR AS TRADITIONAL LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIPS GO. This effectively means that you have no recourse under the law protecting your housing rights as they would normally apply to a traditional tenant under a typical lease agreement. You are giving management total discretion to dictate whether you may continue to remain at the house or not, and for any reason management feels at their discretion it is necessary for you to leave the house, you must obey their final decision on this matter. Any lawsuits or retaliatory legal efforts on your part will be deemed frivolous and if a case ever makes it to court or arbitration, you will be responsible for the legal fees the house must pay to defend itself.
By signing below you signify you have reviewed this Code of Conduct and all associated rules with management, have been given ample opportunity to ask questions, and you understand and agree with the Code and rules herein:

Continuing the legendary 'BT' naming convention established by founders Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac in the 1960s, this car honours the legacy of the marque's greatest and most memorable
The BT62 boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 730ps per tonne, a dry weight of just 972kg and is powered by a Brabham naturally-aspirated 5.4 litre capacity V8 engine. Designed from the ground up and featuring a host of unique engineering details, the Brabham BT62 draws on the project team's vast experience. Crafted from lightweight carbon fibre, the BT62's exterior surface and aggressive aerodynamic package combine to strike the optimal balance between function and form.
Production of the Brabham BT62 will be limited to just seventy cars to celebrate the seventy years since Sir Jack Brabham launched his racing career in Australia in 1948 and the birth of Brabham Automotive in 2018. Owners of the Brabham BT62 will join a tailored driver development and experience programme to enable them to fully exploit the performance potential of this exceptional car.
"It's with great pride that I honour and continue my father's legacy in revealing the next chapter in the evolving Brabham story"
With a base price of £1m, production of the Brabham BT62 will be limited to just seventy cars in recognition of Brabham's 70 year heritage; the first 35 of which will celebrate the 35 Grand Prix victories won by Brabham over its thirty year reign in Formula 1.
The BT62 unveiled on the night was liveried in celebration of Jack Brabham's green and gold BT19. His historic victory at the 1966 French Formula 1 Grand Prix at Reims, the year in which he made history in becoming the first and only driver to win a World Championship in a car of his own construction. Led by multiple Le Mans winner, David Brabham, Brabham Automotive has been established as a manufacturer of high performance vehicles which challenge and reward the driver in equal measures.
As the next in the line of legendary racers, the Brabham BT62 carries more than just the Brabham name; it shares its DNA. Working to the same brief as each of the BT-designated vehicles that came before it, David Brabham has led the team to design and develop a car to deliver blistering on-track performance. In producing the BT62, the team has followed the same pragmatic approach that saw Brabham achieve 35 Formula 1 Grand Prix wins and four World Championships.
The new Brabham BT62 will be proudly using Michelin racing slick tyres, marking the start of the brand's strategic partnership with Michelin as official tyre supplier and technical partner to Brabham Automotive. Extensively used in testing for the BT62, Brabham Automotive looks forward to working with Michelin to develop tyres to ensure the continued performance of its vehicles to the very highest levels.

Bollus was a caravaneer in the service of the Rundeen in 1370 DR.[1]
Bollus was a caravaneer who originated from Calimport and owned a caravan business in Westgate, who traveled up and down between the two cities. He was, however, so influenced by Westgate's customs that he stopped using his family and house names. His nickname, Copperteeth, derived from the particular predilection of Bollus for this metal, which he used in all forms and particularly to substitute four of his teeth. Some said, in contrast, that his nickname derived from his ability to convince traders to give him all their precious metal.[1]

Just got done watching the long awaited Top Chef finale and they definitely picked the right person. Since I already ruined it for someone, I deleted my commentary about the winner. It was a great show though!
Now for some pancakes. The kids go nuts for these pancakes, so since many of our Dad's are still big kids themselves, I thought I'd share these tempting pancakes before Father's Day. The marshmallows are fabulous as they melt into the pancakes with the chocolate chips. These are certainly not your everyday type of pancakes, they are a real "treat" and should only be served on "special occasions!" Just a slight sugar HIGH!
Gooey Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Pancakes4 Tablespoons melted butter
½ Cup half and half
½ Cup milk
2 eggs
1 ¼ Cups whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ Cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 Cup mini marshmallows
Pads of butter if desired
Handful of mini marshmallows to sprinkle on top
Handful of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top

The UN children's fund, Unicef, says that out of the 115m children around the world not getting any primary school education, 90m are girls.
At a summit five years ago, world leaders pledged to eradicate this educational disparity by 2005.
Outdated sexual stereotypes, poverty, HIV/Aids and armed conflict are blamed for the failure to achieve this goal.
Millennium goal
Unicef says it is a tragedy that so many children, especially girls, have been abandoned to a bleak future.
Many girls are denied schooling because cultural traditions define a female's place as in the home, and social pressure is exerted for them to marry early, sometimes as young as the age of 10, the UN says.
"Male privilege and entitlement (ensure) that when educational opportunities are limited, boys will take available classroom space," the study says.
Forty-six countries will miss the Millennium Goal target to get as many girls enrolled as boys.
According to Unicef's 100-page report, the overall enrolment of children is "unacceptably low".
"Education of children, especially girls, is the cornerstone to national progress," Unicef Executive Director Ann Veneman said in a statement.
"It leads to greater economic productivity, reduced infant and maternal mortality, and a greater likelihood that the next generation of children will go to school," she added.
Turkish problem
Many of the countries highlighted in the report are in sub-Saharan Africa, but Turkey, which recently began accession talks to the EU, was also listed.
The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Istanbul says that two key things still keep many girls out of school in Turkey - poverty and tradition.
In theory, both sexes have had equal access to education since the Turkish republic was founded, but in practice boys still tend to be favoured, our correspondent says.
The problem is worst in the rural east and south-east of Turkey, and poor areas of the big cities, where children are often used for seasonal work.
A high-profile campaign by Unicef backed by the Turkish government has helped to close the gap to just under 6% on average.
In some areas, volunteers have been going door-to-door encouraging families to give their daughters an education.
But more than half a million Turkish girls are still kept out of school.

This month's IEEE Spectrum cover story is on e-textiles. Most of the discussion of potential applications (for soldiers, firefighters, snowboarders, etc.) was pretty predictable, but there were a few points of interest.
1) Reliability will be maintained through redundancy. "A truly smart fabric could route data packets or control signals around a hole in a wounded soldier's uniform or a wet area of a baby's outfit."
2) Safety and privacy will be key issues for consumers. Disappointingly, the authors glossed over this topic, saying that these issues haven't stopped sales of PDAs and cell phones. Maybe not, but cell phones have already been banned in some health clubs due to privacy concerns over camera phones. And consumer concerns over Benetton's proposal to imbed RFID tags in clothing labels shows that privacy is indeed an issue for wearable technology.
Newsweek ran a similar article this summer that focused mainly on an interview with Sundaresan Jayaraman, creator of a "supple mixture of natural fibers and gossamer-thin wires and optical fibers". My favorite quote: "Just don't call Jayaraman's invention an e-textile. 'E-textiles are so passive and passe,' he says. The future, he says, belongs to i-textiles -- 'i' for interactive." As I mentioned in a previous post, people are really concerned about naming wearable technology!
Jayaraman also says, "The user shouldn't know when he's wearing an electronic textile." (Did he just say "e-textile"?) Not sure if Jayaraman means that users shouldn't be able to tell the difference from a comfort perspective, or that they really don't need to know at all. The latter is scary...
P.S. Does anyone know anything about the illustration for the IEEE cover story? I love it! I want it!
- Thanks to Rob for the IEEE article (via slashdot) and to my folks for the Newsweek article!
