New Delhi [India], September 20 (ANI): The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted rain for Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh on September 23 and 24.
"North-west India, particularly Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh will get good rain on September 23," senior scientist Rajendra Kumar Jenamani of IMD told ANI, adding that overall, India has received a 7 per cent increase in rainfall this year, but north-west India witnessed a 15 per cent decrease below normal rainfall.
Jenamani stressed that the north and north-west part of the country received less rainfall due to very less Western disturbance this year.
"This year the Western disturbance is very less, that was the reason extreme northern parts of India covering the hill area did not get much rain. Uttarakhand did not get rain like it used to get, but received a normal amount of rain which is good for agriculture," the scientist said.
Hilly areas like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and Western Uttar Pradesh have received less rainfall but Punjab and Haryana received adequate rainfall, whereas Rajasthan got very good rainfall and it is constantly getting good rain, Jenamani said.
He informed that there was rise in humidity and high temperature as north and north-west India have not seen major spell of rain since the second week of September i.e. since September 7 or 8.
"Today we have low pressure over the Bay of Bengal so that's giving good rain, and some parts of Karnataka including Uddupi and Mangalore airport, Kerala and Maharashtra are receiving good rain, even Madhya Pradesh is getting some rain," he added.
Following the low-pressure, rainfall will increase and Mumbai may get very heavy rainfall on Tuesday. "As the low-pressure increases towards central India, all areas like Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha will receive heavy rainfall around September 22 and 23. Coastal Karnataka will also receive heavy rainfall. Goa will start receiving high rain during next 48 and 72 hours," he said.
On being asked about the withdrawal of monsoon, he said: "We have to wait for low pressure which is coming on September 22-24. After that, the pattern could change and we may see withdrawal," adding that in order to declare monsoon withdrawal, it is mandatory for rainfall activity and moisture levels to reduce significantly, along with the formation of an anticyclone system in the lower troposphere.

Before playing around with the Instax SQ20 I used to think that Instax was mainly for the "younger" crowd or party-goers. Turns out, Instax offers a fun range of products for everyone to enjoy. Needless to say, when the Instax Mini Link arrived, a bunch of us at work decided to put it to the test to find out how it differs from other smartphone printers on the market.
The Instax Mini Link is a new instant portable photo printer that prints in only 12 seconds and connects with up to five smartphones at a time over Bluetooth. We loved adding filters to our photo and being able to print moments from videos. You can even reprint photos by turning the printer upside down and pressing the Instax button.
We had such a blast with the printer that we managed to go through five packs of film! Piles of Instax photos litter our desks – some are meant for the fridge and others will make for great Christmas gift cards.
Four new features exclusive to Mini Link:
- Print from video: Print your favourite frame from a video! Sometimes the best photos are action shots.
- Zoom in/zoom out: A motion sensor lets you zoom in or out to take a photo with the app by tilting the printer.
- Enjoy with friends: Connect up to five smartphones to print a photo collage.
- Match test: Take a photo of you and a friend and answer a few questions to test your compatibility or let the app automatically do it for you.
Remember to charge the Mini Link before you use it.

Ortho Surgeons Talk Physician-Owned Hospitals
Orthopaedic Surgeons from the Rothman Institute in Pennsylvania came to Capitol Hill this week to advocate for physician-owned hospitals and the patients who receive high quality care at these facilities. As negotiations continue on the specifics of Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal, orthopaedic surgeons work to include a repeal on the ACA's controversial restrictions on these hospitals.
Drs. Fred Liss, Matt Ramsey, Brian Winters and Joe Daniel with Sen. Bill Cassidy
The group also helped secure cosponsors for Rep. Sam Johnson's (R-TX) legislation that would repeal Section 6001 of the ACA, which prevents any new physician-owned hospitals from participating in Medicare or Medicaid and prevents existing hospitals from expanding. These restrictions must be lifted to ensure Medicare patients have access to high quality health care, as these hospitals provide some of the highest quality care in the country. Physician-owned hospitals also inject much-needed competition into the marketplace, forcing traditional hospitals to improve and innovate.
Orthopaedic surgeons with Rep. Markwayne Mullen
Physician-owned hospitals consistently rank very high under current quality measures compared to other hospitals. For example, under the ACA, hospitals were provided an incentive to improve their processes and patient satisfaction though the Hospital Value Based Purchasing program. When a hospital performs well, it receives a small increase in its total Medicare payment and poorly performing hospitals receive a penalty. In FY2017, 7 out of the top 10 and 40 out of the top 100 hospitals were physician-owned.

Carib Indians in the Island of Hairouna as the original Caribs called it or present day St. Vincent; these Carib Indians prevented the European settlements on the Island until the 18th century.
Enslaved Africans no matter if they were shipwrecked on shore, or escaped from nearby islands of Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia and seeking refuge in St. Vincent. The Enslaved Africans that escaped where known as the Maroons.
Most of the Maroons were probably from the present Senegal, Nigeria, Angola (Ambundu) and Akan people) and Grenada (where there were many slaves from Guineas, Sierra Leone, Nigeria (specifically Igbo), Angolans, Yoruba, Kongo and Ghana). The Bajans and Saint Lucians arrived on the island in pre-1735 dates.
Later, after 1775, most of the slaves who came running from other islands were Saint Lucians and Grenadians. After arriving at the island, they were received by the Caribs, who offered protection, enslaved them and, eventually, mixed with them.
The intermarried between the Caribs and the Africans became known as Garifuna or Black Caribs.
By the 1770s, both Britain and France had made inroads on St. Vincent. In 1772, the native population rebelled. Led by Joseph Chatoyer (Satuye) a Garifuna (Carib) chief
the First Carib War forced the British to sign a treaty with them — it was the first time Britain had been forced to sign an accord with indigenous people in the Caribbean. By 1795 it became apparent that Britain was not going to keep to the treaty and rose in rebellion.
At this time the Caribs were joined the french radicals that were inspired by the french revolution.In the second Carib War Chatoyer divided the island with another Garifuna (Carib) chief of St. Vincent name Duvalle.
Working his way from coast to coast Chatoyer met up with his french allies in Chateaubelair. The two alliances worked their way to Dorsetshire Hill where they would launch their attack on Kingstown.
March 14, 1795 British soldiers lead by General Ralph Abercromby marched toward Dorsetshire Hill. That night Chatoyer was killed by Major Alexander Leith. Though the rebellion continued until June 1796, Chatoyer's death led to the desertion of the French supporters and turned the tide of the war.
On March 14, 2002 it was declared that Joseph Chatoyer The chief of the black Caribs (Garifuna) was named the first National Hero of St. Vincent.
In accordance March 14th has been declared the National Heroes Day as well as a public holiday.

13 Creative 8, Wire Breaker Size Ideas

Other recommended diagram ideas:
Siemens Q120DF 20-Amp Afci/Gfci Dual Function Circuit Breaker, Plug On Load Center Style, Amazon.Com - Selecting the proper twine length to your dc electrical undertaking is essential, considering that a wire this is too small can overheat and likely begin a fireplace. The yankee boat and yacht council (abyc) publishes charts with precious element to assist skilled boatbuilders and installers decide what cord length they want. Despite the fact that those charts are an extremely good useful resource, they're a piece intimidating. This technical short distills the records on those charts to a more achievable size for installers and boatowners alike.
Yes, a four-cord circuit plus a four conductor variety wire and a four-prong receptacle = "excellent-to-pass" discuss with the percent shown beneath: that is a 50 amp range twine with four conductors. The green cord is the system grounding conductor. Four twine variety cords are offered at any domestic depot, lowe's or electrical supply shops. 2) the circuit as it originates from the main electrical panel calls for an system ground. If the usage of romex cable, the romex needs to have a naked copper device grounding conductor within the romex insulated cable along side the two hots and 1 neutral. See diagram proven below: 3) if the circuit may be installed using emt or rigid steel conduit, then no need for the 4th system ground twine from the electric panel to the receptacle for the reason that metallic conduit acts as an equipment grounding conductor.
Great marine cord, as special with the aid of abyc standards, will usually be stranded in place of strong, and always tin-plated copper. In addition, the dc wire selection chart proven beneath assumes a wire insulation score of a hundred and five°c. A decrease rating will lower the contemporary-carrying ability of the twine.
Deciding on the best twine a find the cutting-edge in amps of your appliance throughout the top of the chart. Maximum electrical merchandise encompass a rating label, or you can find the amperage rating inside the documentation that got here with the product. B locate circuit duration in ft along the left aspect of the chart. Observe that the full duration of the circuit is the roundtrip distance from power supply (usually the battery) to the product and again.

Videographer / director: Biliana Grozdanova
Producer: Hannah Stevens, Ruby Coote
Editor: Thom Johnson
At 30-years-old, Challi Muguira is one of the oldest surviving people with progeria in the world.
Progeria is a rare genetic disorder characterised by premature ageing, growth delay, short stature, small face and hair loss.
Challi, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has a rare form, which was so unusual that it took doctors 16 years to formally diagnose her.
Her form of progeria is different from the classic form and she does not age at quite the same rate, but is still mistaken for someone who is decades older.
After meeting her partner online, Challi tied the knot with the love of her life in November 2017.
Challi told Barcroft TV: "I like being different. It's affected my life in more of a positive way and I want to help people, especially kids like me.
"Progeria is a rare ageing disorder. Normally the kids that have it pass away by the time they are 10 to 15.
"I have a very moderate case but I was told at a very early age that it would be a miracle if I would live to be 30 years old, so I am obviously doing well, compared to what I thought I was ageing, I am not ageing as fast.
"I do have the features of someone who has progeria - I have very prominent eyes, very thing nose, very thin hair and you can tell by looking at me that I don't look 30."
Challi first showed signs of the condition at just two-years-old when she fell off of her bicycle and her mother realised her fingers had started to club.
She was taken to the the doctors, but it took another 14 years before Challi was given the diagnosis of progeria.
She said: "The diagnosis itself was lots of doctors offices. Eventually one doctor sent us to a children's hospital and from there I got a very good doctor.
"He had one of his classes do a study on just me and the class were actually the ones who diagnosed me. There are a lot of things that you learn about yourself during the process and I learned a lot.
"At 16 years old you don't want to hear that you are ageing faster but I learned a lot. There are things that you kind of have to accept and I had amazing doctors along the way."
The newlywed found it difficult to accept her different appearance at first, but later used it to her advantage to get served at 18-years-old.
Challi said: "t's hard when you're 15-years-old and people think you're 30, that was rough. Even when I was younger people would think I was 21, I was only 18, I could drink at an early age, it was fun - it came in handy."
However, she also found herself being targeted by bullies at school for her appearance.
She said: "I got teased so bad in middle school. High school wasn't as bad, I had a very wide group of friends.
"Actually a lot of those kids who teased me later on in life came back and told me that they were sorry as adults.
"That did mean a lot, there is one in particular I will never forget, who told me that he was sorry and that really meant the world to me."
After Challi left school, she finally found someone she could truly connect with romantically, her now-husband Tony.
She explained: "Tony and I met on a dating site. I liked talking to him, I enjoyed it and I like that fact that when you talk to somebody like that, they can't judge you based on what you really look like. They are only judging the person they get to know.
"I think I loved him the moment I met him. I knew from way in the beginning that I wanted a life with him."
Tony, who is legally blind, bonded with Challi immediately and neither of them have looked back since.
Tony said: "We support each other. We bring out the best in each other. We try, a lot of the time, to goof off and take each other's minds off of it.
"We sit down and talk and remind each other that it's not that bad.
"Being with Challi changed my perspective on a lot of things. She is just one in a million!"
Eighteen months into their relationship, Challi and Tony tied the knot in a ceremony attended by their closest friends and family.
Challi said: "My wedding was perfect. There was everything I could dream of.
"Walking down the aisle, and seeing Tony, I was so nervous, so nervous, but as soon as I got to him I was like, this is it - my whole life is about to change.
"It was the happiest day of my life."
Despite the lack of certainty about her life expectancy, Challi is determined to live each day to the fullest and refuses to allow her condition to hold her back.
She said: "As far as how long I'm gonna live, no one knows. There is going to be a point where my life will be shortened and I know that.
"It has taken me a long time to come to terms with it and it's actually easier to live with it now that I am happy and I have somebody who loves me.
"If I could tell anybody one thing about progeria, it would be that it's not always negative. If you can see the positive in it, you'll have a great life."

Sleeping late?
I've always been a night-owl…
1 // You may need more sleep than you think.
Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were "well rested" actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10 hours a night.
2 // Night owls are more creative.
Artists, writers, and coders typically fire on all cylinders by crashing near dawn and awakening at the crack of noon. In one study, "evening people" almost universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test. Their early-bird brethren struggled for passing scores.
3 // Rising early is stressful.
The stress hormone cortisol peaks in your blood around 7 am. So if you get up then, you may experience tension. Grab some extra Zs! You'll wake up feeling less like Bert, more like Ernie.

In a laboratory at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, Matthias is learning about time's caprice the hard way. At 28, getting on for a rhesus monkey, Matthias is losing his hair, lugging a paunch and getting a face full of wrinkles.

It appears I was quoted in a Fastcompany blog entry today….
2008 was the year that Web 2.0 became more mainstream. More ad agencies, businesses, and non-profits used Web 2.0 tools as a way to build community and relationships, cross promote products and issues, and integrate their online and offline marketing strategies. Some like Zappos were extremely successful and nailed their Web 2.0 strategy while others like the makers of Motrin were burned by mommy bloggers for not doing proper research on their target audience.
With the economy in a slump and budgets being cut in traditional print and TV advertising campaigns many will be looking to the Web 2.0 world to reach their constituents. So what should be on your Web 2.0 radar for 2009? Web 2.0 gurus give you the low down.

2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Overview
According to Mercedes-Benz, the redesigned 2017 E-Class "enhances efficiency, safety, and comfort, reduces the stress level while driving, and intensifies driving pleasure." At the same time, the automaker claims: "the new E-Class takes another major step towards fully autonomous driving."
Exterior Features
Longer in terms of wheelbase and overall length, the new 2017 E-Class adopts design cues from the smaller C-Class and larger S-Class models. The automaker highlights the long hood, abbreviated roofline, broad rear flanks, short overhangs, and large wheels as signature Mercedes-Benz sedan styling cues.
Luxury and Sport styling treatments will be available for the new E-Class, the former equipping the car with a classic chrome grille design and a traditional Mercedes hood ornament while the latter employs a sport grille design with the 3-pointed star embedded into the center of it.
Interior Features
An E-Class driver faces a broad, dual-screen, digital instrumentation panel. The section in front of the driver is equipped with a traditional gauge display and the one dominating the center of the dashboard features a 12.3-in. infotainment system display.
Touch-sensing buttons are located on the steering wheel and respond to vertical and horizontal swiping motions, similar to a smartphone display screen. Using them, the driver can control infotainment system features with the goal of minimizing driver distraction.
A center touchpad controller also operates the infotainment system and includes handwriting-recognition technology. Voice control is accessible with the touch of a button. Fans of traditional switchgear will be happy to operate the climate controls and driver-assistance systems.
Under The Hood
Mercedes is also releasing the E 300 model. It will have a turbocharged, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 241 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque, delivered to the rear wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission. Expect 4MATIC® all-wheel drive to be an option with this engine.
Mercedes takes safety seriously, and equips the 2017 E-Class with a standard drowsy driver monitoring system with adjustable sensitivity, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, active brake assist with cross-traffic response, and automatic emergency braking. So effective are these technologies that Mercedes claims the new E-Class can completely avoid accidents at speeds up to 43 mph.
Pre-Safe Sound technology is also standard, designed to trigger a protective human reflex in the inner ear by emitting a short interference signal through the sound system speakers when the risk of a collision is detected. This aural signal, in turn, prepares the car's occupants to hear the sound of a collision. A Driver Assistance Package Plus is available for 2017 and includes new Drive Pilot technology. Drive Pilot directs the adaptive cruise control to maintain a specific distance from the vehicle ahead and follow traffic at speeds up to 130 mph. Steering Pilot is also new this year, working at speeds up to 81 mph. It's programmed to steer around curves, and can actively intervene in situations where lane markings are non-existent based on the monitoring of surrounding vehicles and parallel structures.
Active Lane Change Assist also uses the Steering Pilot technology. When the driver indicates a lane change for at least two seconds, and if the adjacent lane is unoccupied, the Steering Pilot system will steer the E-Class move to overtake slower traffic. Active lane-keeping and blind-spot assist systems are also available, identifies collision to the E-Class. This, in combination with new Pre-Safe Impulse Side technology, inflates the outer bolster of the seat to move the occupants towards the middle of the vehicle, away from the impact area, helps to reduce injuries and deaths. New Evasive Steering Assist is also available, designed to give a driver an extra measure of control in sudden emergency driving situations.

Out of focus
Posted on November 08, 2016
I think about this quite often. As a photographer, it's my job to nail focus on every shoot I get paid for. I feel an enormous satisfaction when I see pin sharp eyes on my subjects:)
But. There are some photographs which I have in my house, in albums, on my computer, framed on the wall, which are not perfectly focused and some which are frankly totally out of focus! but I really cherish them all the same.
I believe that sometimes the capture of the emotion of that second in time is more precious than perfection. Sometimes that photograph is all you have to record a great time in your life or a person or pet who you no longer have or see.
'Out of focus' certainly has it's place. I see it used often in fashion shoots. Photographers love playing around with focus points, we all love an interestingly blurred background and the public expect to be challenged by artists from time to time on our preconceptions about what constitutes a 'good' photograph.
So let's not dismiss that out of focus image just yet. Often the mood created by a spot of camera-shake or blurred motion can infuse the image with life, where a static image can sometimes get stale.
Want to hire me?
I would love to hear about your needs and look forward to chatting to you about what kind of photos you are looking for.

I am using Windows Phone 8.1 Preview since it was released. From day before yesterday my phone is getting hotter (really very hot) and battery draining too faster. Same happened twice yesterday. I got a minor update yesterday afternoon. But heating up happened even after it. (Battery drainage related to location service is not yet fixed).
Which build are you on? – Rowland Shaw♦ Jun 4 '14 at 7:29
It's 8.10.12393.890 now. – N K Jun 4 '14 at 8:07
Are you still experiencing the heat issues? – Rowland Shaw♦ Jun 18 '14 at 11:08
I submitted the phone to Nokia Care. I'll let you know more about the issue once I got my phone back. (Most probably, the hardware issue.) – N K Jun 18 '14 at 12:30
It was a hardware issue and got a replacement :) – N K Jul 11 '14 at 2:54
Issue was with the hardware. I contacted Nokia Care and after one month I got replaced handset. This issue is not related with Windows 8.1 OS.
I was experiencing the same issue, though the last update solved it for me.
You can always try a hard reset: Reset my phone
I downgraded the OS to 8.0, problem was still there. I suspect that the issue with hardware, antenna may be. – N K Jun 18 '14 at 12:31

Share on ThriftyFunThis page contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
They should hatch at around 14 days. But only when you start counting the time after the last egg is laid and when mom finch starts sitting on them. The countdown of when they will hatch does not commence at laying but at the beginning of incubation. After five days incubation, you can candle them and look for veins. If the eggs don't show veining or spidery lines, they are not viable or dead eggs.
Source: Here is an excellent resource regarding finch eggs and their care. http://gouldianfinch.info/breeding/eggs.htm
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I have 3 males and 1 female zebra finch. The female bird laid some 20-25 eggs in the last 6 months, but not a single one has hatched to date. All the eggs were thrown out by the bird after few weeks. Please let me know what should be done so that the eggs can be hatched.
By Hridi
I find that if you have more females than you do males, the fertilization seems to be better, and have many nesting places for them available. They seem very picky to me. All I give them for nexting material is soft dried grass and cut up soft cotton, from an old tshirt, cut into 5 inch strips by about 1/4 inch wide... they love it.
I had a pair of finches, that laid 6 eggs. It has been 20 days and none of them hatched. Can I assume that they will not hatch or is it because the temperature is very high in our state?

THERE'S nothing blurry about the opinion of the city's independent optometrists: if you buy cheap spectacles, you'll get an inferior pair of glasses.
Many smaller, higher-priced optometrists say they are appalled by the quality of cut-price spectacles being sold by big-buying chain players, including Specsavers, Big W and Costco.
They say complex, finely tuned medical aids have been reduced to nothing more than retail items and consumers are potentially damaging their health by using them.
But are these comments short-sighted? After all, the outlets offering cheaper glasses mean consumers who might not otherwise be able to afford spectacles can buy them.
A pair of glasses from a small, independent optometrist could cost $500, including frames and lenses. By contrast, British chain Specsavers, which launched in Australia two years ago, promises complete glasses for $59 or two ''designer'' pairs for $179 or $199.
Eager to cash in on the spectacles market - estimated by market-watch group IBIS World to be worth $860 million a year in Australia - discount chains such as Big W and Costco now offer in-store optometry assessments and cut-price glasses.
Shirley Loh, the professional services manager of the Optometrists Association of Australia, which represents independent optometrists as well as chains including Specsavers, said a 10 per cent surge in the number of people who had their eyes checked last year was partly due to awareness campaigns, an ageing population and greater consumer options.
In general, she said, wider consumer choice was good, but ''glasses are really quite complicated pieces of equipment and people forget about that. It is a really technical area, even though they might look the same on the surface.''
Consumers who bought cheap glasses might not be able to put their finger on what was wrong with them, but optometrists could see more distortions in poorer-quality lenses, she said.
However, Specsavers managing director, optometrist Peter Larsen, defended the company's products, saying all Specsavers lenses met or exceeded Australian standards. A spokeswoman for Specsavers, Heather Potter, said the company put its lenses and frames ''through rigorous quality testing''.
''People in Australia have been paying far too much for glasses for far too long,'' she said.
The independent optometrists felt threatened by Specsavers, she said, but all the Specsavers franchises were co-owned by optometrists and a lot of effort was put into customer service.
''Obviously our intention is to provide an excellent customer service that people are happy with so they keep coming back,'' Ms Potter said.
She said the chain's success, with about 61 stores in Victoria, spoke for itself.
But Matthew Smith, the manager of Eyes On Optometrists, a group of six independent optometrists, said the booming retail competition in optics had taken the emphasis away from eye care. He said the cheaper chain stores treated people as ''prescription fodder'', and treated eye tests as ''the means to the end - the end is getting them to buy the product''.
Consumer Affairs Victoria recorded fewer than 50 optometry-related complaints in the year to June.
But Mr Smith said many people came into his Collins Street shop asking for repairs on the cheaper glasses they had bought from chain retailers. ''We are having to spend a lot of time fixing their product. It is becoming a bit of a nightmare.''
One disgruntled customer, who asked not to be named, said she was a ''refugee from Specsavers'' who bought three pairs of glasses there - multifocals, optical sunglasses and reading glasses. ''They offer all these cheap deals, but they're not that cheap,'' she said. Extra features cranked up her bill to nearly $1400, and it took six months to get the glasses, she said.
But the real problem, she said, was that she could not see properly while wearing them. ''It was just completely blurry.''
After taking the glasses back for several refittings, and having her prescription changed three times, she simply gave up.
''I just thought, 'Right, I'll cut my losses and go somewhere else.'''
Specsavers' Ms Potter said she was unable to comment on a specific case, but confirmed it usually took no more than 10 days for glasses to arrive.
Ms Potter said additional features and more complicated prescriptions did cost extra, but it was up to the customer to decide how much they wanted to spend.
Kara Blair, 27, said Specsavers' cheaper prices meant she had access to glasses she would otherwise be unable to afford.
Ms Blair was spotted picking up two pairs of glasses for $199 at the chain's Little Collins Street outlet. Ms Blair said if inexpensive glasses were not available, she would not be buying any at all.
''They said my eyes would get worse over time. I would just wait till they got really bad and then I'd have to buy them,'' she said.
Should we all give up and buy $20 glasses from the chemist?
Mr Smith said spectacles sold at pharmacies were ''just magnifying lenses'' and could not cater for specific problems such as astigmatisms or different pupil distances.

Its day two of National Apprenticeship Week 2015 and REPs is has some great feedback to share, including the announcement of a brand new entry point to the register.
We spoke to with 17 year old apprentice Spencer Ride, to find out how an apprenticeship has impacted his career and the difference it has made.
Spencer is currently completing an apprenticeship in Level 3 Personal Training with Focus Training, one of SkillsActive's endorsed Lead Provider's. The apprenticeship offers Spencer the opportunity to combine learning the trade with studying the qualification.
When asked what he has gained from his apprenticeship, Spencer said, "I've now got a much stronger CV with the qualification and experience … I have learnt to deal with the public better in a working gym"
So why do employers offer apprenticeships?
Adrian Lea, Director at Pro Active PT Ltd (with Energie Fitness Wilmslow) fully supports apprenticeships and said:
"I believe heavily in developing people and seeing them achieves goals that improve their livelihood and careers firstly. There is also the financial benefit of the scheme, which includes £1,500 towards the business and keeps payroll down helping the gym commercially".
Adrian also recommends other organisations to sign up to an apprenticeship scheme and says, "Like Spencer said… just do it!".
Spencer would like to become a full time PT and progress within his career by completing further training in Nutrition and Physiotherapy. We wish Spencer the best of luck with his training!
As part of National Apprenticeship Week, we are also proud to announce that Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) has introduced a new entry point to the register via apprenticeships. Those undertaking apprenticeships that will lead to gaining a recognised fitness qualification will be granted free of charge membership to the Register of Exercise allowing them to be a part of a 31,000 strong group of health and fitness professionals.
Commenting on this announcement Head of Membership for REPs Greg Small said:
"I am delighted that we are able to support young people coming into our sector. Membership of REPs will give young people the support and networking opportunities needed to develop their skills and continue their professional development throughout their career, not just as an apprentice."
To join REPs as an apprentice or student please click here or call us on 020 7840 1919.

PENTICTON - A man and his pets spent a much more comfortable Christmas than they otherwise would have, thanks to efforts of Penticton RCMP.
Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth says the RCMP followed up after a man reported his friend missing on Friday evening, Dec. 23.
The man hadn't heard from his friend, who was homeless and lived in his camper van, for several days.
Police located the friend's vehicle at the rec centre at 2:30 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 24. He was found on his back on the floor of the van with his dog and two cats nearby.
The man had been stuck in the van since Thursday after he was immobilized by a ruptured disc in his back, Wrigglesworth says.
Police called an ambulance for the man, then secured, watered and fed the animals prior to delivering them to the friend who made the initial report to police.
Wrigglesworth says the injured man, who is otherwise in good health, will be in hospital for some time.
— This story was updated at 12 p.m. Dec. 27 to correct the date of the man's reported disappearance. Thank you to reader Janet Weir who spotted the error and let us know.

Business Info
Business Name
iBE - Integrated Business Environment Inc.
What do you do?
www.iBE-erp.com - building a next generation collaborative, intuitive and elegant looking "enterprise application" or "enterprise resource planning" system. Our customers are small and medium-sized businesses (of 10-500 employees) interesting in a cloud-based tool for managing their accounts, people, projects, billing, suppliers, customers, inventory etc.
We are looking for companies that have "outgrown" Quickbooks or Peachtree as an accounting package and want an integrated business environment. Our competitors are NetSuite, WorkDay, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, Infor, Success Factors, Zoho, ZenDesk, SAP (BusinessByDesign) and Oracle (JDE)
Do you have a desired website screen size?
Application UI we are considering now is targeted laptop/PC (e.g. 1024x768) with reduced-feature version to run on tablets.
How many pages (maximum of 5) do you need designed?
This is not a web-site but a cloud-based business application. We only require input on the graphic interface design - colors, style, theme, skin. Just one page is requested
Target Audience
What is your industry?
ERP or enterprise resource planning software, business applications, business automation, business software
Describe the target audience for your website design
Small and medium sized businesses with 10-500 employees in US, Europe, India, China, Russia and globally. Professionals across a range of age/gender/location/education boundaries but more focused on "white collar" or supervisor/manager level business folks. Not a technical or IT audience...our users will be managers, buyers, warehouse supervisors, production controllers, sales people, call center agents, accountants etc.
What 3 things would you like to communicate to your audience through your website design
1. This is a really well designed product (looks great, but is not too distracting because users will have our application open on their desktop for 4 hrs at a time)
2. I want to use this product (it does not look scary or complicated - without belittling the user's intelligence)
3. I can use this product (everything has a clear purpose and fit together as a whole very well)
How is your company different from your competitors?
1. Elegant and intuitive user interface :-) (extends to easy mobile access)
2. Easy to implement, deploy, use and support (e.g. cloud-based, not on-premise, open pricing model)
3. Tailored for each company's unique industry-sector and regional requirements (not a 'one size fits all' business software package)
Style and Concept
What website design styles do you like?
We are more focused on applications vs. web-sites as a comparison though we accept some more interactive web-sites are application. Likes:
1. Mint (personal finance software)
2. Netdesk (support and helpdesk software)
3. Success Factors (HR talent mgt. software)
4. Producteev or RapidTask (task mgt. software)
5. Salesforce (CRM software)
6. WorkDay (HR software)
What colors do you want to see in your website design?
This is the main point of this project - as we already have a layout we are comfortable with. We want creatives to focus on the colors/tones/contrast etc. and only make changes to the layout if you feel there are other alternatives that we should consider...
Our logos are attached (another CrowdSpring project) and we ideally want our application style to go with the logo. Also our external web-site www.ibe-erp.com (which is not part of this brief) gives an idea of a color theme we like
Without restricting the creativity and variety of inputs we like different shades of green or orange. Submissions based on a green theme will be given initial preference, recognizing that there are many shades of green to choose from!
Because the user is likely to interact with our software as part of their day-to-day job the color/theme challenge is to have as much as the screen in white as possible, while still looking elegant and not boring
What colors do you NOT want to see in your website design?
Blue is a very common color especially for business application software, used by several of our competitors. For this reason we want to try to avoid it if possible, at least not for the main theme.
Other colors we feel are better for consumer applications and not for business applications -> purple, bright red, brown. Also while some web-sites very effectively use white text on large black contrasting areas like banners - we do not feel this works for a business application which can be open on someone's desktop for 4 hrs at a time.
What adjectives should best describe your website design?
1. Clear and purposeful
2. Elegant
3. Professional
4. Quality
What content must be included in the website design?
This project is seeking input on colors, styling and themes, not on content. We have provided a number of screen images to show the layout of our application, plus one photoshop file for creatives to work from (if desired) in developing their submissions. Working from this photoshop file should save creatives time in copying the content but using our file as a basis is purely optional.
So to be clear we are NOT looking for creatives to generate content and layout or to spend alot of time redesigning the form and function of our application. Suggestions and ideas for changes to layout are welcomed but the winning entry will be selected on the basis of style - coloring and theme.
Do you have additional requirements or links you want to share?
We are not so interested in new layout designs though suggestions on layout are welcomed. What we are looking for is a set of colors and styles to turn our existing layout into an elegant, professional and purposeful application user interface. We are very happy to receive several different variations of color themes and will give comments back on all serious submissions, but at this time there is a preference for green or orange highlights in keeping with our logo and current thinking. But we are always open to new inputs...

Places to stay in France between Bordeaux and Dieppe
Can anyone recommend good places for a family to spend a few nights between Bordeaux and Dieppe? Ideally want access to a reasonable sized town, a swimming pool, family cycling etc. I'm thinking of the Loire valley and I've stayed near Saumur a few times so somewhere different. Any recommendations gratefully received.

Have a look at Futuroscope theme park near Poitiers.1959/60 - 2020/21

I would recommend La Rochelle/Isle de Re. Flat as a pancake for cycling and lots of sandy beaches for swimming. Can be pricey there though, and you would have a long haul from Dieppe and then only a shortish trip to Bordeaux.
In the Loire Valley, Tours and Chenonceaux are charming, but you may already know that from visiting Saumur. Chartres is pleasant but maybe not enough to do for kids09-07-2016, 16:30 #5
You could try Yelloh Village campsites. Every one has a pool, etc accommodation in caravans or chalets. That way you can book with the same company and one night, two nights etc on the way.
Alternatively, you could try bed & breakfast sites like this one.09-07-2016, 16:40 #6

I live near Limoges so based on your travel route I would recommend Poitiers as the town to stay near and this particular campsite (which I have stayed at) which is about 20 mins away and close to Futuroscope. The campsite has excellent facilities including a great swimming pool.

Workplace bullying is on the rise in Britain, with many victims afraid to speak up, resulting in large economic losses, a new study has found.
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service report said it receives around 20,000 calls relating to bullying and harassment each year, which has wide impact in lost turnover and lost productivity.
"Bullying is on the rise in Britain and it is more likely to be found in organizations that have poor workplace climates where this type of behavior can become institutionalized," Sir Brendan Barber, chairman of ACAS, said. "Callers to our helpline have experienced some horrific incidents around bullying that have included humiliation, ostracism, verbal and physical abuse."
He added, managers sometimes dismiss accusations around bullying as simply personality or management-style clashes whilst others may recognize the problem but lack the confidence or skills to deal with it.
Businesses should be taking workplace bullying very seriously as the annual economic impact of bullying-related absences, staff turnover and lost productivity is estimated to be almost £18 billion ($27.3 billion).
According to the research, managers seldom deal with bullies, instead preferring to simply move them around the office.
In extreme cases, some of the calls recorded showed how some victims are driven to considering suicide or causing them to self-harm. Issues raised by callers often centered on ill-treatment by direct supervisors, and frequently resulted in individuals dreading going to work, and where their home and family life had been affected.
There are also particular occupational groups or sub-sectors where the incidence is higher, including: public sector ethnic minority workers; professional and management occupations; women in traditionally male-dominated occupations; workers with disabilities or long-term health problems; and workers in health care.
The report has been timed to coincide with anti-bullying week, which runs from November 16 to 20.
Black employees are more ambitious than their white counterparts despite only half of all ethnic minority staff feeling valued, a landmark workplace study has found, The Voice online reported.
The findings of the Race at Work survey, published last Tuesday (Nov 10), revealed that 72% of black workers wanted to progress, compared with Asian (63%) and white (41%). And nearly two thirds of BAME (Black, Asian and ethnic minority) employees said they enjoyed working for their organization.
This comes despite racial harassment and bullying in the workplace reportedly being on the rise. Some 30% of employees in the UK have witnessed or experienced racial harassment in the workplace in the last year alone, an increase from previous years.
Only 29% of black employees feel they are valued members of their team, compared to 71% of white employees.

Freight Logistics Solutions of Pontypool was established the day after the UK referendum result in June 2016. After huge success over the past three years, and a move to its new HQ in January, recent account wins have supported new Brexit driven appointments.
The brain child of Ieuan Rosser – formerly Managing Director of outsourced labour company Smart Solutions - FLS was established as a supply chain management/freight forwarding company to support UK manufacturers in the under-resourced freight transport sector.
After an exceptional first three years trading and new account wins, FLS has made ten confident new appointments to the business.
Paul Cleverley, formally Head of Digital Marketing at MRA Marketing, Gloucestershire, and previously Marketing Director at Smart Solutions, has been engaged as Marketing and Communications Director. He also joins the board.
'The government's advice to manufacturers during the Brexit process is to strike new relationships with supply chain managers and freight forwarders, to support them during the change in the European trading landscape. My job is to make sure FLS is one of their top choices when considering who to partner with.'
Chris Williams, formerly of Sphere Recruitment has joined as Associate Finance Director
"Looking to turnover £5.6m over the last year, FLS has made incredible progress over the past 3 years and has a great current run rate of £10.5m. The HMRC and currency exchange is going to be an increasingly important element of our business. It's going to be an exciting next few years'
With extensive experience in the freight sector, Steve Anderson and Charly Spence have joined the Client Solutions team as regional managers. They will look at increasing sales across the UK and developing new "European" Lanes on behalf of our clients.
Joining the Operations Team is Vickie Dampier-Pearce from Concordia. She will lead the FLS Sea and Air Freight Team, Helen Waite has joined as commercial administrator to look after the increased pressures on European road transport brought on by Brexit. Robyn Lewis, also from Concordia, and Anthony Ford from XPO are joining the team as Road Transport Planners.
Following successful completion of their apprenticeships FLS has also appointed Emily Edwards to the Finance Team and Ben Jones as Transport Planner. They are the first to complete FLS's own in-house logistics apprenticeship which they passed with flying colours.
Ieuan, South West Natwest Entrepreneur of the Year continues: 'We have just mobilised another 5 year onsite logistics contract in South Wales with huge service quality improvements and cost savings for our new client. Certainly, increasing our outsourced contracts is where our business development is heavily focused.
Wales Start-up company of the year, Freight Logistics Solutions really is a 'Brexit Baby'. Ieuan spent a number of years working with manufacturing clients across Wales and England who were really struggling with their transport requirements. They either faced huge difficulties in sourcing drivers for their own fleet as a result of the UKs huge shortage of drivers or they struggled to achieve the capacity and service quality required to be able to take their business to the next level. With a huge resource of preferred suppliers, delivering around the globe through Road, Air and Sea, FLS is a transport partner with enormous potential.
Ieuan comments: 'Lots of manufacturers have long running direct contracts with hauliers but we have found transport options are often restricted by the capacity of the hauliers. Resource and competitive costs are high while service levels are low. Brexit, in whatever shape, creates a whole additional set of logistical and administration challenges and clients need support to deal with them. FLS is arranging over 3000 shipments a month, buying in bulk from preferred suppliers and passing those savings onto our clients'

3. You can change the transparency of the background photo, the top photo, and the cover color.
4. You can change the transparency (in a 1 - 100 scale) in three ways: one step a time by click the slider, cautiously by drag the slider, and automatically by click the start (play) button.
5. You can change the three kinds of transparency all at the same time by using the auto function.
6. You can change the background color or cover color to the popular color by simply click a button, or you can choose any color using the color chooser.

8. You can exchange (swap) the background photo and top photo at any time by simply click a button.
9. You can open a background photo or top photo or both at any time to change the background photo or top photo.
10. You can reset the top photo to its original position (top-left corner) at any time.

Do you ever get a recipe idea in your head that you just can't shake? That's how I felt about these chocolate chai zucchini muffins – once I dreamed up the idea, I couldn't stop thinking about them! Chocolate and chai are delicious together and I had a feeling that they'd make an especially delicious treat when added to zucchini muffins.
Peak zucchini season is over, but it took me a few tries to perfect this recipe. Luckily, zucchini is pretty easy to find year-round.
The first time I attempted these muffins, I used chai concentrate but, unfortunately, the flavor didn't come through. The second time the flavor was spot-on, but the muffins were too dry. The third time, I finally nailed it. The chocolate and chai flavors are nicely balanced, and the muffins are moist and cakey. I love that they're healthy enough for breakfast, but decadent enough for dessert.
To help keep the calories in these chocolate chai zucchini muffins down, I used Zing™ Baking Blend, a combination of stevia leaf extract and cane sugar with just 5 calories per serving. It bakes and browns like sugar so you get perfectly golden cakes and cookies with fewer calories. You can easily use Zing™ Baking Blend in recipes by replacing the sugar with half as much of this sweetener, but since you use less there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, it will decrease the volume of your batter slightly (that's why these are a little smaller than the oversized muffins I usually make.) Also, since the sweetener doesn't add moisture to baked goods the same way sugar does, you'll want to add an extra egg or 1/4 cup more liquid to your recipe. For these muffins, that's as simple as not needing to squeeze the extra moisture out of the zucchini. I also found the using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil gave the muffins a better texture. You can see more tips for baking with Zing™ Baking Blend here.
What kind of treats will you bake using Born Sweet® Zing™ Baking Blend?

Mumfest described as a grand-reopening for New Bern following Florence
While communities across the state continue to recover from Hurricane Florence, one of the biggest relief efforts took place in New Bern this weekend at Mumfest.
Just a month ago, city officials and Mumfest organizers weren't sure if the annual festival would even still take place. But after countless hours of hard work from all parties involved, New Bern was ready to hold a celebration of the efforts from everyone since Hurricane Florence.
Event organizers wanted to use the festival as a way to help local businesses get back on their feet following the storm.
There were more than 300 vendors at Mumfest and some of those hold shops in downtown New Bern.
Some of the hardest hit businesses in the area were given the opportunity to set up free booths in front of their physical locations.
"We lost about half our space but there are stores that aren't even re-open at this point but they do have space on the street," Surf, Wind, and Fire Owner Danny Bratten said. "It's a way for them to show their products, and really it's a way for them to say hello and see familiar faces, and shake hands, and say 'hey we might not be open right now, but we're going to be open any day now.' Because every business is trying to re-open as quickly as possible."
Bratten described Mumfest as a grand reopening for the city.
The festival continues Sunday at 10 a.m. until things wrap up around 5 p.m.

This isn't a repost. This is a linkback to a placeholder for a post that was redacted, edited with a link to an edited repost of the original unedited post meant to be reposted.
Shenanigans, sir.
happy blogiversary, dammit.
Nice posts Danny. I had been thinking about doing this a while now but never came around to doing it (reposting).
In fact, my first post sucked and it wasn't even about game at all.
Others lost steam over the years in writing but your ass seem to have gained traction just over the past 5 months.
Great article glad you reposted it.
I come before you today needing your advice on an area in which you are an expert: New Orleans.
A buddy and I have wanted to go to an SEC football game for a long time (we are good old Ohio boys. OSU fans until the end). We decided to go to an LSU game in October. We'll be staying in New Orleans for a couple days then Baton Rouge for the game. Any must do advice for New Orleans and Baton Rouge (bars, strip clubs, etc.)?

I have a con-70 that came with my Namiki Bamboo. It's nice that it has a larger capacity (0.7ml) than most converters. However I'm not a fan of the pump mechanism that blows some ink back into the bottle, and also can sometimes spray / create bubbles.
It works fine, but can anyone suggest an alternative converter, that has a conventional screw mechanism that will fit the Bamboo? I beleive the CON-70 fits the Pilot Custom. I don't need the 0.7 ml capacity, given the little writing I do at work.

General Mansoor, WE ARE WITH TURKEY ! LIKE I SAID " CHANGE IS INEVITABLE"
Reader comment on item: Is Turkey's Government Starting a Muslim Reformation?
Submitted by Proud Indian (India), May 26, 2008 at 06:20
"We are under pressure because our swords were shelved and we were forcefully made to forget the lesson of war and bravery...This thought should be highlighted again...More and more Muslims brothers and sisters would be taught the history and stories of Muslim conquest....The blood should boil again...the eyes should be red with blood lava and staring the infidels blowing their hearts with fear....The revolution is somewhere around...just sense it...it is here....I feel the footsteps..."
mansoor sounds like a war mongering general. dear mansoor your swords were not only shelved but inserted in your ...since the industrial revolution.. IF, WOULD BE, SHOULD BE, are all day dreams of the defeated. Your brothers and sisters eyes look out for food and shelter and have no time to boil..
I must admit your senses are of very high quality! you sense a push from allah when you forget your daily azaan time right? now you sense and feel the footsteps? How can you sense footsteps? you can hear them! unless you are being stepped on , you can't feel the footsteps.. my advice to you is get your self exorcised by a local mullah , hearing footsteps and getting touched is a sign of demonic possession...
Let us take care of your brothers and sisters.. we always have.. TURKEY IS GOING THE CORRECT WAY! TIME IS RIPE TO CORRECT THE HADITHS.. SOON TURKEY WILL REALISE THAT THE ENTIRE BOOK NEEDS TO BE REVAMPED! JOLLY GOOD! MANSOOR PLEASE DONT SPREAD YOUR IMPERIALISTIC VIEWS HERE!

INDIVIDUAL plans under the national disability insurance scheme are costing close to $50,000, well above the initial estimate of $35,000.
So far 921 people have completed plans, below the first-quarter target of 2208.
But 3222 people have expressed interest in joining the scheme across its launch sites, which is double the number expected.
Mitch Fifield, the minister responsible for disabilities, says plan costs were exceeding modelled estimates by about 30 per cent.
"What this means in dollar terms is that instead of coming out at the expected average packaged cost of $34,969, they're currently costing $46,290," he told the National Press Club on Wednesday.
The NDIS agency is investigating reasons for the higher trends.
Under the scheme, people with disabilities draw up a personalised plan in consultation with the agency, outlining their goals and what support they require.
Senator Fifield said completing plans was taking longer than expected and demand for the scheme in launch sites was much greater than anticipated.
Launch sites have been operating since July in South Australia, Tasmania, the Barwon region in Victoria and the NSW Hunter region.
Senator Fifield said he did not want to be prescriptive about support measures, as he responded to a question about sex therapy.
There have been calls by some in the disability sector to allow sex-worker services to be included in NDIS plans.
Departmental rules about what constitutes reasonable and necessary support do not address the matter.
"I'm not going to give an on-the-spot ruling," Senator Fifield said.
"I don't want to have a headline that says XYZ is in, shock horror."
The NDIS aimed to provide support so people could do and achieve things that were made a little more difficult because of their disabilities.
"Each plan will be different, each plan will be personalised," Senator Fifield said.
Canberra man David Heckendorf raised the issue during a Senate inquiry into the NDIS.
He and his wife have cerebral palsy and are profoundly disabled, relying on carers to feed, dress and shower them every day.
South Australian Dignity for Disability party MP Kelly Vincent has said sexual activity could help disabled people regain movement.
There were also mental health benefits, such as increased self-esteem, as well as a reduction in aggression and frustration.

Washington Wizards Green believes London game can kickstart play-off push
PUBLISHED: 18:00 23 January 2019
PA Wire/PA Images
Jeff Green believes Washington Wizards can kickstart their season and reach the play-offs following their stunning last gasp 101-100 NBA London Game 2019 victory over Eastern Conference rivals New York Knicks at The O2, North Greenwich last Thursday.
Centre Thomas Bryant hit the winning bucket in the final throw to claim London pride for America's capital city outfit.
Wizards Bradley Beal topscored with 26 points while Knicks Congolese-born Emmanuel Mudiay amassed 25 points.
The Wizards head back across the Atlantic with an improved 19-26 while Knicks drops to 10-36.
Overall it was a memorable London trip for Green and his victorious teammates.
"This one kickstarts our season," the 32-year-old Maryland native told Archant London.
"We've been trending in the right direction.
"The progress and the work we've been putting and everything is starting to fall in place and going our way.
"We already have that motivation to reach the play-offs. We want to win and give our chance to get to the play-offs. "In the last couple of weeks I think we're going to be in the play-offs.
"It makes this trip worthwhile to come out to London with a W. We had a great time.
"I definitely love to come back to London and play another game here. I definitely love it, we had a great time."
