2016: Making Practical Sense of the Australian EconomyJuly 20, 2016
Webster's Dictionary defines economy as
"The state of a country or region in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services and the supply of money."
What does that mean?
How do consumer confidence, growth rates, domestic politics, global growth, Brexit, China and the U.S. economies affect the Australian economy, your organisation and you personally?
Marty Allen, a comedian, once remarked "The study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy anything is last year".
Understanding the economy and where it's going is not that simple.
Dave de Garis, a Director and Senior Economist with the National Australia Bank, will be giving an overview of the Australian economy and making practical sense of how it is travelling and likely to perform. Dave regularly speaks on the economy and markets home and abroad. Dave writes for the National Australia Bank's daily and weekly economics and market reports, and speaks with the media, often on a day to day basis speaking about the economy and financial markets. You may have heard him on ABC Radio, seen him on Sky Business, ABC TV, ABC Lateline, ABC24, CNBC, Bloomberg TV, as well as with other TV, radio and the print media.
Don't miss out on this webinar, join us on Thursday 18th of August at 1:00pm (AEST) to hear Dave de Garis talk on the state of the Australian economy. We think this will be a very insightful webinar and who better provide an overview of the Australian Economy and answer your questions that someone of Dave's experience.

Full Game Torrent Review
No TOP game for today.
It generates lots of minutes, punctuated from the calm of foraging for supplies while looking over your shoulder. It is a mix for some time, until the mixture of bothersome and repetitive assignments bugs dulls squashing heads' joy if your co-op entourage rolls deep.
Exactly like at 2013's unique State of Decay, in State of Decay two you are able to freely change between randomly created survivors on your post-apocalyptic neighborhood -- and you will frequently have to, since they can simply be pushed so far ahead of their endurance begins to give out. Or worse, you got somebody murdered, whatever and taking their traits and did something stupid. You are unable to personalize appears or their titles whatsoever, and it is a pity, since if XCOM has taught us anything it is that it is interesting to tell co-workers and your friends the way you have them killed. But that fear of reduction adds some weight as you scavenge the area to construct a refuge and work to cleanse the territory of a disorder to the battle that plays out on one of three paths.
State of Decay 2 is an open world zombie survival video game developed by Undead Labs and published by Microsoft Studios. It is a sequel to the 2013 video game State of Decay. The game was released on May 22, 2018 for Windows and Xbox One.
Contrary to the first State of Decay 2 could be performed in, which works cross between PC and Xbox One in its entirety. The celebrations also get to bring back their looted spoils and enter the host match bonus rewards for their game. It is a fact that matches such as this become more enjoyable when played with friends, which holds true in State of Decay 2.
There is not much more to the standard post-zombie-apocalypse narrative compared to the search to wipe out the Blood Plague -- not that I have encountered in one playthrough on among the 3 paths, the Plateau -- but there is some history radio chatter that indicates a larger world of survivors and associations out there that could make a look. Everything else is advised on a bigger, more personal scale: individual characters will have their own pursuit lines assigned to them, for example one girl who desired to monitor what happened to a police officer friend of hers in a set of assignments, and if you finally appoint a leader for your own group, their randomly decided course seems to affect how your story ends. But it is a RPG where you are handling as individuals call for assistance emerging quests, and you create your narrative.
It is rare to see over a dozen at once, along with also the so-called"hordes" which show up on the map are restricted to five or even six. Zombies are more a nuisance than a threat, although it is enough to keep you on your feet.
Providentially, the fight from the undead that is rank-and-file is straightforward but satisfying. You can unlock a few specializations that enable you to throw an enemy and leave it exposed to some gruesome implementation move, although melee never evolves beyond when keeping your eye on your stamina meter. And, if you score a hit and knock off its block with a swing of a bat or swipe of a machete it is a moment of electricity.
Guns, including grenade launchers, shotguns, rifles, SMGs, and all of the pistols, feel great to fire as a result of noise effects that are fine and recoil which make them look strong. Ammo is rare that shooting feels just like a resort, but you are rewarded with a kill plus a result anything shy of a Juggernaut, if headshots are executed by you. It less than perfect for carrying multiple enemies, although you are never completely defenseless, due to a backup knife. This adds some flavor to the company of clearing zombie infestation out .
Walking is a great deal of fun but not since cars operate. To put it mildly, they don't but to be honest they are largely trucks trucks, and sedans, with just a couple of muscle cars and vehicles. But because of physics that is arcadey they themselves if they are flipped by you, which means you are free to try out some stuff as you're plowing through zombies and opening your door because you pass without damaging the body of the car to knock them. It is unfortunate your co-op partners can not lean out the windows and shoot zombies as you're in the wheel their involvement is restricted to opening their doors, even when they own them.

The MacBook Airs are wonderful machines, let down only by the still-small storage offered by today's SSDs. Worse, whilst external Thunderbolt drives are finally trickling into stores, they're neither cheap nor plentiful.
Alas, Elgato's rather awesome-looking Thunderbolt SSD drive combines the worst of both worlds — a high price and low capacity. Then again, I imagine this things is fast enough to burn a hole in your desk.
The Thunderbolt SSD comes in 120GB and 240GB sizes, capacities which may remind of the external pocket drivers of three to four years ago. And they will cost $430 and $700 respectively, prices which seem to have been sent forward from the last decade. The speeds, though, are from the future, clocking in at up to 270MB/s. That would let you transfer a movie to your MacBook in just a few seconds.
But why bother transferring? The bus-powered drives are so fast and so silent (no fans, not moving parts whatsoever) that you can just plug them in and use them as if they were internal drives. Photographers especially will be able to store their huge RAW libraries on these drives, swapping them in as appropriate (apps like Lightroom will keep track of offline parts of your catalog).
And they will be swapping them in and out. The Elgato drives have one port only, with no passthrough, so you'll either be using them alone, or at the end of your Thunderbolt daisy chain. Both drives are available now.

Faith, Family and Community Empowerment Conference Update
By Reverend Charles E. Mock | July 12, 2012
June 2012
As we move closer to the 2012 election for the President of the United States perhaps this is a good time to be challenged by the commitments that came out of the Faith, Family and Community Empowerment Conference. This 11/2011 conference was co-sponsored by the Home Mission Board, the NAACP, the Foreign Mission and Evangelism Boards of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. Please consult the January, 2012 Mercy & Might Journal for the entire report.
The leadership of the above mentioned conference felt like one usually does following a church revival. The real revival takes place after the revival by inspired action. Revivals provide a fresh wake-up call to sleeping saints and an infusion of new inspiration to get on with the real work of the church—evangelism and missions. The closing question of the conference was where do we go from here?... read more

British Army uniform and equipment in World War I
according to the British official historian Brigadier
James Edward Edmonds
recorded in 1925, that "
The British Army of 1914
, was the best trained best equipped and best organized British Army ever sent to war". They were the only army to wear any form of a
uniform; the value of drab clothing was quickly recognised by the British Army, who introduced khaki drill for Indian and colonial warfare from the mid-19th century on. As part of a series of reforms following the
Second Boer War
, a darker khaki serge was adopted in 1902, for service dress in Britain itself. On the whole, the British military authorities showed more foresight then their French counterparts, who retained highly visible blue coats and red trousers for active service until several months into
World War I
. The soldier was issued with the
1908 pattern webbing
for carrying personnel equipment and he was armed with the
Short Magazine Lee Enfield
The British soldier went to war in August 1914, wearing the 1902 Pattern Service Dress tunic and trousers. This was a thick woollen tunic, dyed
. There were two breast pockets for personal items and the soldier's AB64 Pay Book, two smaller pockets for other items, and an internal pocket sewn under the right flap of the lower tunic where the
First Field Dressing
was kept. Rifle patches were sewn above the breast pockets, to prevent wear from the webbing equipment and rifle. Shoulder straps were sewn on and fastened with brass buttons, with enough space for a brass regimental shoulder title. Rank insignia was sewn onto the upper tunic sleeves, while trade badges and Long Service and Good Conduct stripes were placed on the lower sleeves. A stiffened peak cap was worn, made of the same material, with a leather strap, brass fitting and secured with two small brass buttons.
were worn round the ankles, and ammunition boots with
hobnail soles
on the feet. Normally black, they were made of reversed hide and had steel toe-caps, and a steel plate on the heel.
Tropical Variation
There were also lightweight uniforms for wear in warmer climates, known as
Khaki drill
. The Officers' was little different in cut, but the
Other Ranks
' tunic was distinguished from the temperate service dress by having only the breast pockets. Both were made from a lighter cloth (both in weight, and in shade).
Scottish Variations
Scottish Highland pattern uniforms differed in the wearing of tartan
, rather than trousers or breeches, and in alterations in the design of the tunic and jacket to make them resemble traditional Highland ones—notably in cutting away the skirts at the front of the tunic to allow the wearing of a
Personal Equipment
1908 Pattern webbing
1908 Pattern webbing
equipment comprised a wide belt, left and right ammunition pouches which held 75 rounds each, left and right braces, a
frog and attachment for the
entrenching tool
handle, an entrenching tool head in web cover, water bottle carrier, small
and large pack. A
mess tin
was worn attached to one of the packs, and was contained inside a cloth buff-coloured khaki cover. Inside the haversack were personal items, knife and when on Active Service, unused portions of the daily ration. The large pack could sometimes be used to house some of these items, but was normally kept for carrying the soldier's
and or a blanket. The full set of 1908 webbing could weigh over .
Pith helmet
The Pith helmet is a lightweight helmet made of cork or pith, with a cloth cover, designed to shade the wearer's head from the sun. They were widely worn during World War I by British Empire troops fighting in the Middle East and Africa.
Brodie Helmet
The first delivery of a protective steel helmet (the
Brodie helmet
) to the British Army was in 1915. Initially there were far from enough helmets to equip every man, so they were designated as "trench stores", to be kept in the front line and used by each unit that occupied the sector. It was not until the summer of 1916, when the first 1 million helmets had been produced, that they could be generally issued.
The Brodie helmet reduced casualties but was criticized by General
Herbert Plumer
on the grounds that it was too shallow, too reflective, its rim was too sharp, and its lining was too slippery. These criticisms were addressed in the Mark I model helmet of 1916 which had a separate folded rim, a two-part liner, and matte
paint finished with sand, sawdust, or crushed cork to give a dull, non-reflective appearance.
Gas helmets
The first use of poison gas on the Western Front was on 22 April 1915, by the Germans at
, against
French colonial
The initial response was to equip troops with cotton mouth pads for protection. Soon afterwards the British introduced the
Black Veil Respirator
, which consisted of a long cloth which was used to tie chemical-soaked mouth pads into place.
Dr. Cluny MacPherson
The Royal Newfoundland Regiment
brought the idea of a mask made of chemical absorbing fabric and which fitted over the entire head to England, and this was developed into the British Hypo Helmet of June 1915. This mask offered protection to the eyes as well as to the respiratory system. One British officer described it as
a smoke helmet, a greasy grey-felt bag with a tale window certainly ineffective against gas
. This helmet had two
eyepieces, but there was no way to expel the
carbon dioxide
build up inside the mask . This type of mask went through several stages of development before being superseded in 1916 by the canister gas mask the PH helmet. This had a mask connected to a tin can containing the absorbent materials by a hose and an outlet valve to reduce the carbon dioxide build up inside the mask.
This section contains a selection of some of the many weapons used by the British Army during World War I for further information see
World War I British weapons
Webley revolver
The standard-issue Webley revolver at the outbreak of World War I was the Webley Mk V (adopted 9 December 1913), but there were considerably more Mk IV revolvers in service in 1914, as the initial order for 20,000 Mk V revolvers had not been completed when hostilities began.On 24 May 1915, the Webley Mk VI was adopted as the standard sidearm for British troops and remained so for the duration of World War I, being issued to officers, airmen, naval crews, boarding parties,
trench raiders
, machine-gun teams, and
crews. The Mk VI proved to be a very reliable and hardy weapon, well suited to the mud and adverse conditions of trench warfare, and several accessories were developed for the Mk VI, including a
(made from a converted French Pritchard bayonet), a
device ("Prideaux Device"), and a stock allowing for the revolver to be converted into a
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III
The iconic Lee-Enfield rifle, the
SMLE Mk III
, was introduced on 26 January 1907, along with a Pattern 1907 (P'07) Sword Bayonet and featured a simplified rear sight arrangement and a fixed, rather than a bolt-head-mounted sliding, charger guide.The fast-operating Lee bolt-action and large
capacity enabled a trained rifleman to fire 20 to 30 aimed rounds a minute, making the Lee-Enfield the fastest military bolt-action rifle of the day.World War I accounts tell of British troops repelling German attackers who subsequently reported that they had encountered machine guns, when in fact it was simply a group of trained riflemen armed with SMLE Mk III rifles.During the war, the standard SMLE Mk III was found to be too complicated to manufacture (an SMLE Mk III rifle cost the British Government £3/15/-), and demand was outstripping supply, so in late 1915 the
Mk III*
was introduced.
Machine Guns
Vickers Machine Gun
The Vickers machine gun accompanied the
to France in 1914, and in the years that followed, proved itself to be the most reliable weapon on the battlefield, some of its feats of endurance entering military mythology.
Perhaps the most incredible was the action by the 100th Company of the Machine Gun Corps at
High Wood
on 24 August 1916.
This company had 10 Vickers guns, and it was ordered to give sustained covering fire for 12 hours onto a selected area away in order to prevent German troops forming up there for a counter-attack while a British attack was in progress. Two companies of infantrymen were allocated as carriers of ammunition, rations and water for the machine-gunners. Two men worked a belt-filling machine non-stop for 12 hours keeping up a supply of 250-round belts. 100 new barrels were used up, and all the water, including the men's drinking water and contents of the
buckets, was used to keep the guns cool. And in that 12 hour period the 10 guns fired a million rounds between them. One team is reported to have fired 120,000 from their gun to win a five
prize offered to the highest-scoring gun. And at the end of operation, it is alleged that every gun was working perfectly and that not one gun had broken down during the whole period. It was this reliability which endeared the Vickers to the soldiers that used it. It rarely broke down; it just kept on firing. Demand from the British Army for Vickers machine guns was so high that
had to find new ways of increasing production and by 1915 Vickers had supplied the British armed forces with 2,405 guns. These increases continued throughout the war: 7,429 were supplied in 1916, 21,782 in 1917 and 39,473 in 1918.
Lewis Machine gun
Lewis gun used in an anti aircraft role
The British officially adopted the Lewis machine gun in .303 calibre for Land and Aircraft use in October 1915. Despite costing more than a Vickers gun to manufacture (the cost of a Lewis Gun in 1915 was £165, and the Vickers cost about £100), Lewis machine-guns were in high demand with the British military during World War I. The Lewis also had the advantage of being about 80% faster (in both time and component parts) to build than the Vickers gun (and was a lot more portable), and thus orders were placed by the British Government between August 1914 and June 1915 for 3,052 Lewis guns. By the end of World War I over 50,000 Lewis Guns had been produced in the US and UK and they were nearly ubiquitous on the Western Front, outnumbering the Vickers gun by a ratio of about 3:1.
The Lewis Gun utilised two different drum magazines, one holding 47 and the other 97 rounds of ammunition and had a rate of fire of 500 to 600 rounds per minute. The gun weighed , only about half as much as a typical medium machine gun of the era, such as the Vickers machine gun, and was chosen in part because, being more portable than a heavy machine gun (such as the Vickers), it could be carried and used by a single soldier.
are curved
weapons that can lob shells into trenches whose occupants would be unaffected by flat trajectory weapons but, compared to the standard artillery guns, mortars have a relatively short range. During the early years of the war it quickly became clear that some type of weapon was needed to provide artillery like fire support to the infantry. The Army already had rifle grenades, which were useful but they possessed insufficient range and power to serve such purposes. A weapon that was fully man transportable yet could fire reasonably powerful shells at targets beyond the range of rifle grenades was badly needed. The Stokes trench mortar was developed for precisely this purpose.
Stokes mortar
Stokes Mortar in action in the Middle East
The Stokes Mortar was a simple weapon, that was easy to manufacture and use. The weapon was broken down into three sections for easy transport, the barrel (tube) which weighed 43 pounds, the base plate weighed and bipod weighed for a total of . The Stokes Mortar could fire as many as 25 bombs per minute and had a maximum range of .The first recorded use of Stokes mortars by the British was near Loos, France, in September 1916, where they proved to be very valuable weapons. British Empire units had 1,636 Stokes mortars in service on the Western Front at the Armistice.
2 inch mortar
The 2-inch Medium Mortar was designed and manufactured by the
Royal Ordnance Factories
in early 1915 and introduced along with the 1.57 inch mortar in March 1915. It incorporated what was known of the German pre war Krupp mortar. This was the first design to meet all the requirements, after modifications to simplify manufacture, it fired a spherical cast iron bomb of which was considered the largest practical size for use from trenches, at ranges from to using a simple tube as the mortar body. Drawbacks were that the steel tail was usually projected backwards towards the firer when the bomb detonated, resulting in occasional casualties; and the No. 80 fuze was also required by the 18 pounder field guns which were given priority, limiting mortar ammunition supply to the front until early 1916, when a special cheap trench mortar fuze was developed. The 2-inch mortar served in limited numbers in France in 1915, from March, with early mortars and ammunition made by the Royal Ordnance Factory, mass production finally began with an order in August 1915, for 800 mortars from several railway workshops and agricultural machinery makers, together with an order for 675,000 bombs from numerous small firms.
9.45 inch mortar
mortar was a design based on the French
240 mm Trench Mortar
and introduced in 1916, the British version differed from the French LT weapon in that the propellant charge was loaded through the muzzle In June 1916, following unsatisfactory trials with the French model, the army replaced them with 30 of its own model, firing a 150 pound bomb, followed by 200 more in December 1916. The 9.45 inch mortar also known as the
Flying Pig
was a Corps level weapon.
Mark I tank
The advent of World War I generated new demands for strongly armoured self-propelled weapons which could move powerfully on any kind of terrain, leading to the development of the tank. The great weakness of the armoured car was indeed that they required smooth terrain to move upon, and new developments were needed for cross-country capability.The
Mark I
tank was a British invention, in February 1915, the
First Lord of the Admiralty
Winston Churchill
created the
Landships Committee
to investigate a mechanical solution to the stalemate of trench warfare. The Mark I tanks, were operated by the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps and had a range of without refuelling and a speed of 3 miles per hour. , the Mark I tank first saw service on the Somme in September 1916. The Mark I tank was available in two different formats called:
. Male tanks mounted a
six pounder gun
in each sponson, plus three light
Hotchkiss machine guns
. Female tanks had two heavy Vickers machine guns in place of the six pounders.The tank evolved during the war and by 1917, the ninth model the
Mark IX tank
had been designed which was different to its predecessors, in that it could carry thirty infantrymen or ten tons of cargo. The Mark IX was armed with two machine guns and had loopholes for the infantry to fire from.
Medium Mark A Whippet
Another tank in use was the
Medium Mark A Whippet
, while the Mark I tanks had been designed to attack the German trenches the Tank Corps now wanted a lighter, faster tank to work with the cavalry over open country. The Whippet had a crew of four and was armed with three Hotchkiss Machine Guns, they weighed 14 tons and had a road speed of just over per hour and a radius of . They were very fast by 1918, standards but tank crews found them difficult to drive and combat experience showed that it was not suitable for working with the cavalry.Whippets first saw service during the German Spring Offensive in 1918, by the end of the war the Whippet was responsible for more German casualties than any other British tank of the war.
Hand grenades
At the start of the war the only grenade in service with the army was the
No 1 Grenade
. Because of the problems associated with it, the
Jam Tin Grenade
was designed. It contained an inner can of explosive with an outer can of metal fragments or ball bearings. The fuses that were developed for the Jam Tin Grenade were activated by friction or a by lighted taper which was often replaced by a lighted
. This was followed by the highly successful
Mills bomb
in 1915. It was oval in shape to fit into a clenched fist and time fused. The detonator was activated by a spring driven firing pin which was restrained by a lever that in turn was locked by a safety pin. The Mills bomb was a defensive grenade. After throwing the user had to take cover immediately and a competent thrower could manage with reasonable accuracy. Adopted as the standard grenade, over 33 million Mills bombs were produced in the final three years of the war.
In 1914, the heaviest artillery gun was the
60 pounder gun
, four in each of the heavy batteries. The
Royal Horse Artillery
had the
13 pounder gun
and the
Royal Field Artillery
the 18 pounder gun. By 1918, the situation had changed and artillery were the dominant force on the battlefield. Between 1914–1918 the heavy and siege artillery of the
Royal Garrison Artillery
had increased from thirty two heavy and six siege batteries to 117 heavy and 401 siege batteries.
With the increase in the number of batteries of heavier guns the armies need to find a more efficient method of moving the heavier guns around, (it was proving difficult to find the number of
draught horses
required) the
War office
ordered over one thousand
Holt caterpillar tractors
, which transformed the mobility of the siege artillery.
The army also mounted a variety of surplus naval guns, on various railway platforms to provide mobile long-range heavy artillery on the Western Front.
Ordnance QF 18 pounder
18 pounder gun
was the most important field gun of the war, with over 10,000 being manufactured by the end of the war and 113,000,000 rounds of ammunition issued. Some Royal Horse Artillery batteries were also re-equipped with it as their 13 pounders proved unsuited to the prevalent trench warfare.
BL 6 inch Mk VII naval gun
6 inch guns
were first sent to France in 1915, mounted on improvised field carriages. Following its successful employment in the battle of the Somme its role was defined as
counter battery fire
and also they "were most effective for neutralising defences and for wire cutting with a new fuse which reliably burst instantly above ground on even slight contact, instead of forming craters, they were also employed for long range fire against targets in depth. It was supposed to be replaced by the
BL 6 inch Gun Mk XIX
, 310 of which were built during the war. This model gun served in all theatres, with 108 being in service on the Western front at the end of World War I.
BL 60 pounder gun
60 pounder
guns were formed into "Heavy Batteries" in the
First World War
operated by the Royal Garrison Artillery and used mainly for
counter-battery fire
(i.e. suppressing or destroying the enemy's artillery). When
World War I
began a single four gun battery was attached to each infantry division of the BEF. From early 1915, 60 pounder batteries moved from Division to Army control. From June 1916 ,the War Office adopted
Major-General Birch
's recommendations to increase heavy battery sizes to six guns, as more guns with better concentration of fire power were required on the Western Front, while minimising the administrative overhead of more batteries.
Railway guns
Some of the largest guns deployed were the
Railway guns
, there were sixteen of the smaller
BL 9.2 inch Railway Guns
in service by the end of the war, which together fired a total of 45,000 rounds. The

I really cannot recommend the series C & S Walk, Knaphill enough. Perhaps it is because as we complete a segment it has always been a glorious spring-like day; cold but with a beautiful blue sky. Perhaps it is because the route takes us through lovely Surrey countryside, ambling down footpaths we've never trodden before, or because each cache is a little bit different than the last. Last Sunday's expedition drew us near to our 200 finds mark but Monday we were back on the trail again and passed 200 with flying colours.
Before we started our caching route we had to cross the main Guildford Road (A322). A very busy road so being good, we walked up to the pedestrian traffic lights, pressed the button and waited for the light to turn green. Half-way across I did a double-take and managed a quick iPhone photo as I have never seen a traffic light with a horse before. Once we had crossed I turned around and saw that the red one had a horse and rider too!
I dread to think what the drivers of the cars were thinking; this mad woman stopping in the middle of the road to take a picture of the lights! Another thing, if the lights are for horse and riders, the button is far too low to reach from horseback. Not well thought out at all.
We managed to find 10 caches on a sort-of circular route starting with In a Massive Sandwich and travelling anti-clockwise to Really Branching Out. The cache owners (a father and son) go to great lengths to make each cache a bit different. They screw hooks inside of trees – high up so you have to feel for them. They favour oak trees probably because of their enormous size and the great oaks often have plenty of cracks and crevices ideal for hiding a cache. One of the caches on the circuit was hidden in a huge crevice at the back of a gigantic oak tree and the hole had been almost filled with huge chunks of honeycomb. The cells of the honeycomb were much bigger than those of the normal honey bee so I am not sure who or what made the honeycomb but I am extremely glad that it was winter and not summer when the insects would be flying!
The white lid in the picture is the top of a usual film cannister which will give an idea of the size of the cells.
Our walk took us around parts of Chobham Golf Club and once we had found the cache at White Post, we back-tracked just a few yards to sit on the seat conveniently situated facing one of the greens. No-one was playing so we enjoyed a lovely rest in the reasonably warm February sunshine. Three more caches and then we were nearly back at the car. We have found that Mondays are not good days for finding somewhere to have a late lunch so we drove a short way to a garden centre I knew well. Wish we hadn't bothered. As we arrived the unsmiling waitress told us that they had just stopped serving meals so we could either have afternoon tea or a choice of cake. Cockrobbinn chose a piece of Lemon Drizzle Cake which was plomped down on the table with quite a force and no fork or napkin !! I did smile to myself though as we left and noticed that Cockrobbinn's walking books had deposited a huge pile of mud underneath the table and a trail to and from the cutlery/napkin shelf!!
We are now well-over halfway through the series of C & S Walk but we are going to have to revisit one of the sites although we still cannot make up our minds whether we just didn't look properly (most likely) or whether the cache is actually void. The name of the cache is, wait for it…………Void. When we couldn't find the container, we took the easy way out by saying that perhaps it had been renamed Void because it wasn't there any longer but looking at the description when we got home, it doesn't mention being archived and it was also found twice in January. Methinks more looking is needed !
As of today, 11th February, we have an amazing 211 finds to our name. I did creep out this morning and surprisingly quickly found six very local caches; all on army ground (we have a lot of that around Camberley). Every time I see a sign saying 'Do not touch suspicious objects' I wonder whether the M o D have ever seen some of our more interesting caches !
BodRobbinn has travelled 20.8 miles
I am excitedly preparing for my trip to Kentucky but not quite so pleased to hear that -16° has been forecast; must find the thermals!

Hyderabad [India], Jan 13 (ANI): Days after being barred from attending a Hyderabad Cricket Association's Special General Meeting (SGM), former Indian skipper Mohammad Azharuddin on Saturday slammed the cricket body and termed it "illegal".
Azharuddin said he had decided to take a legal action against some of the officials of the HCA, including ad-hoc committee chairman Prakash Jain, for denying him a chance to contest in the HCA election held last year.
"I want to clarify a lot of things which were said about me by the so-called Hyderabad 'illegal' Committee," Azharuddin said.
Flashing a copy of the letter from the Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI), Azharuddin said since his life ban has been lifted, he was eligible to contest in the HCA election and to hold any position in International Cricket Council or BCCI or its state affiliated associations.
However, Azharuddin added that Jain disallowed him from contesting despite seeking a clarification on his eligibility for the same.
"The then ad hoc panel chairman of HCA Prakash Jain had sent an email to the board to clarify whether I was eligible to contest in the elections or not. He sent the email on January 10, 2017 and I think the reply came on January 10th, 2017. They didn't allow me to participate in the elections.
"It is a total violation of fundamental rights. It was criminal on their part to treat me like that. You cannot deprive any individual or citizen of India of fundamental right. And these people have done it. They had hidden the letter. They didn't want me to fight in elections," he told the media.
"I'm also trying to contemplate legal action against these officials, whoever had done it. The people who are involved during that time. It is very sad that somebody had to go down to that level being educated person," he added.
The former Indian skipper further reiterated that everything has been done in an illegal manner by the ruling group of the HCA and that there is a consistent violation of all the guidelines of the Justice (Retd) R.M Lodha-led panel recommendations on their part.
Azharrudin, however, said that he had already written to the top officials of the BCCI about what was happening in the HCA and are now waiting for a positive response.
"We'll wait for a couple of weeks before planning to meet them personally along with senior cricketers like Shivbhai (N. Shivlal Yadav), Raju and others," he said.
Earlier this month, Azharuddin was initially not allowed to attend SGM on January 7. He was allegedly made to stand outside for more than an hour.
HCA president Dr G. Vivekanand had later clarified his decision to bar Azharuddin, saying, " When Azharrudin came, he didn't get a valid ID card. The card which he was carrying to enter the stadium was the card which was signed by the suspended secretary of the association. So, one of the reasons was that he was not carrying a valid card. Secondly, the card mentioned National Cricket Club that means he is a proxy in that association. As per the Supreme Court guidelines, there should not be any proxy members attending any Special General Meeting. So we said, sorry we cannot allow you to attend the meeting on the basis of this card."
Vivekanand, meanwhile, had also pointed out that that Azharrudin was barred to attend the HCA meeting because he was allegedly campaigning against their association and was associated as a brand ambassador of a cricket body which is not recognised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Azhar has captained India in 47 tests during the 1990s. His international playing career came to a controversial end when he was implicated in the infamous match-fixing scandal in 2000 and subsequently banned by BCCI for life.
In 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court lifted the ban on him.(ANI)

Persian classic carpet making evolved in the Safavieh dynasty in the 16th century when the most famous king of this era, Shah Abbas, transformed the carpet industry. It was in Isfahan, which he made his capital that Shah Abbas first established a royal carpet factory and hired highly skilled artisans from all over Persia to prepare designs to be made by the best master craftsmen.They are usually named after the cities from which they originate, such as Naien, Isfahan, Qum and Tabriz. Perfection in design, detail and shape are expected for these carpets, unlike tribal or village pieces. These pieces are meticulously designed and plotted onto graph paper by master designers. Ornate and intricate designs are the hallmarks of these classic carpets, and it is not unusual for a large carpet to require four master weavers about five to six years to complete. Persian classic carpets use permanent, vertical looms, most often made out of metal and therefore capable of manufacturing large, room sized carpets. The process is organized and supervised all throughout by the master weaver, often the owner of the entire production facility, and the person whose signature is displayed if the carpet carries a signature. The central medallion and the border design are plotted, most often on separate sheets of graph paper. The colours chosen ranges up to about 120 colours, each denoted by a number. The wool is purchased and dyed, and the looms are set up. Specialized weavers are hired if needed, although many facilities retain specialist craftsmen. The weaving process often takes months or even years before being completed.
Persian classic carpets can be further categorized to depict the old and the modern Persia. The ones that depict the old Persia are usually decorated with beautiful colours. These carpets are usually covered with different designs of flowers and supported by twisting vines. Arabesque art, which is an Islamic feature, surrounds these designs to form a consistent whole. Carpets that depict the new Persia use solid colour field with medallions in the middle and triangular corners. The field is filled with exuberant floral designs laid with precision. The border around the field contains tendrils with pendant like flowers. These patterns beautifully compliment the beauty of these carpets.
The most ancient carpet-producing Persian cities are Isfahan, Tabriz, Kashan and Kerman. Other cities which in the 20th century developed into major producers of classic carpets are Meshad, Naien and Qum.

Once upon a time, men had to make a decision when they decided to wear suits: belt or suspenders.
OK, maybe it wasn't so long ago, but it was definitely long enough ago that men have completely forgotten the protocol when it comes to selecting which method to hold your pants up.
Belts have won the day in the latter half of the 20th century, leading all the way up to today. But ever since retro-faux nostalgia has become trendy, men have rediscovered suspenders, as well as the bow tie and a few other accessories from the old world.
That's not something to begrudge. The issue, however, is that this new generation has no idea how to wear suspenders. The most egregious violation? Wearing suspenders and a belt.
The only reason this could possibly happen is if you don't realize that a belt and suspenders are meant to hold your pants up. You don't need both to do that — one or the other will work fine. The look of both together is far too busy and makes you look like you're trying to set the world record for wearing the heaviest pants.
We recommend just sticking to the belt. Suspenders have an iffy connotation, and can make your outfit look more like a costume from another time period when done poorly.
Or just go without both — an actual cutting-edge style that doesn't recall a time when women didn't have the right to vote. Further to this point, you shouldn't need either of these to keep your pants up if they actually fit.

assistme needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 152 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
assistme® communications
While assistme® network (http://www.assistme.net) provides Web Services Support, assistme® communications (http://www.assistme.com), on which the contest is focused, will provide the following services for FREE! [within local regions (i.e., counties or provinces)], while extending the same services to other regions for a fee:
(1) personal classified advertisements; and
(2) product & project (service) tendering (i.e., reverse auctions)
assistme® will also offer an employment Jobs Board (at, http://jobs.assistme.com); where Job Seekers may post their CV (résumé), while Employers may post new Employment Offers.
Finally, assistme® will offer a new video sharing site at: http://www.assistme.tv (which is online already)
ELEGANCE/SIMPLICTY: Google (http://www.google.com)
(though the Homepage need not ne necessarily "Googlesque")
ClassiPress: http://www.appthemes.com/themes/classipress/
[01] HOME PAGE (HP): http://www.assistme.com
While making full use of the logo color scheme, the HP should be simple and elegant (preferably with a white background, unless the addition of color can compliment our logo successfully); with a bit of "Wiz-Bang-Wow!". However, kindly bear in mind that we wish the entire site to be friendly to Subscribers who may be between 54 and 80 years of age. So, as these individuals may have certain physical or sensory limitations, attention should be given to the design elements (throughout the entire design) needed to serve this community.
While the current HP design is patterned after the Google HP (which is simple), the "Google" template approach need not be followed. Indeed, while we'd like the HP to be simple and elegant (blending equally "FORM" & "FUNCTION"), we'd like the HP to reveal (in a simple and discrete way) the 4 services available [eg, personal classified advertisements, project & product tenders (or, reverse auctions), Job Search (Postings), and relevant (assistance-related) video sharing (assistme.tv)].
The Header should contain the following elements:
From the HP, potential Subscribers will have the ability to register and Sign-in from a Single Social Sign-in feature; using several of the most popular Social Networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Open-ID (though others may be also available).
(2) LINKS: "barter | classes | community | directory | fora | for sale | housing | jobs | personal | services | vehicles"
(3) REGION: [flag - REGION abbreviation]
Ex. [flag - AL], to indicate the state of Alabama
Ex. [flag - IN], to indicate the country of India
(4) SETTINGS: Account Management
(5) SUBSCRIBER Photo & First Name
Ex. John [photo]
OTHER HOMEPAGE (HP) Links:
We wish to include also links from the HP to the following sites and sub-domains:
* assistme® Job Search: http://jobs.assistme.com
* assistme® network: http://www.assistme.net
* assistme® TV: http://www.assistme.tv
as well as...
* assistme® Meetup Everywhere! : http://www.meetup.com/assistme
For example, these links may be introduced as a TAB structure at the base of the design, such as:
As indicated above, the LIVE development site is located at:
Username: assistme // Password: poiuyt0324$
While the database is not yet populated, you may search for "car" to review one live listing. Feel free to create others.
However, if you prefer to use a PPT file, see the file below, entitled:
assistme - current desgin (to be replaced).ppt
On page one, you will find our SEARCH RESULTS page.
Kindly notice, however that the TAB links at the top will need to be revised, to read:
HOME | PUBLISH | SEARCH | DIRECTORY | FEATURES | PRICING | FAQs
[02] DASHBOARD (DB) [or, MY ACCOUNT] PAGE:
The DB page is the area in which Subscribers will both begin their journey and manage and monitor their account activity (i.e., purchase and publish services as well as to track activity); the current template for which is available from the "Existing Website" link; which requires registration & sign-in).
From the Existing (development) Site, the DB provides the following (left-column) NAVIGATION elements: Listing Cart & My Account
Likewise, the Body Page includes these following elements:
My Account
New Messages
Tenders (reverse auctions)
Recently Activity
However, this page will also need to include a few other [Facebook applet] elements; which will allow the Subscriber to see also WHO & HOW MANY TIMES others have "LIKED" or "RECOMMENDED" the Subscriber's publications.
Indeed, as the Personal Classified Ads and Tender LISTING PAGE will include "LIKE" and "RECOMMEND" Facebook applets, the DB page should provide the Subscriber with a Control Panel featuring an accumulation of all of the Subscribers posts as a snapshot of "LIKES" & "RECOMMENDATIONS" attributed to his/her listings.
So, from the DB, the design goal is to provision a MANAGEMENT & CONTROL PANEL from which Subscribers can not only manage the services available from our two (2) core services (i.e. personal classified advertisements & tenders), but also have a sense of the popularity of how their posts are perceived by others.
It should be noted, too, that Subscribers should be encouraged to upload to assistme® TV (http://www.assistme.tv) a personal video relevant to their publication and to embed its link directly into their Classified Advertisement or Tender (i.e, reverse auction).
Finally, from the DB, Subscribers will have the opportunity either to INVITE potential Contractors/Supplier to their Tender (or, reverse auction) or to leave the Tender OPEN to all potential Contractors/Suppliers; which will produce a personal directory for future reference.
[03] LIST AN ITEM (LIST of CATEGORIES) PAGE
When a Subscriber selects from the DB to publish either a Classified Advertisement or a Tender, the system produces a LIST OF CATEGORIES (LoC) page which must be integrated within the context of the Dashboard navigation.
As the LoC currently contains images of what topics (i.e. categories) the system will publish, these categories will need to be represented in a way that is both creative, elegant, and economic (so as not to overwhelm the page with text. That is, as each category would need to be represented visually, each visual image would need to be built upon the foundation provided by the logo (if and when possible). Otherwise, the images could be replaced with text (if the design calls for it).
Similarly as the LoC provides both a "PARENT" (or, topical) category as well as a "CHILD" (or, sub-topic) category/categories, the manner in which the PARENT & CHILD categories are to be represented should be interpreted as an essential and UNIQUE element to the design of of this page]. Accordingly, the layout of the LoC page is not a small concern; but, should differentiate itself from the manner in which any other online Classified Ad portal may have published its categories. While Java (or similar) tools would be welcome, the design would need to be mild (again, favoring older Subscribers).
Search results will be published in a LISTINGS PAGE; from where Site Users may select a published listing. Therefore, the design elements of the Listing Page should also make full use of the assistme® logo; as well as our genie Mascot, "Sam"!
Kindly notice, however, that, as we no longer have access to the original file for our genie mascot, a new EPS file will need to be "re-crafted".
As the essential elements of this page (as well as any other page) are simplicity, elegance and parsimonious use of graphics (as we wish to use graphics only insofar as they would be needed to lend attention to the publications posted on the site), it must be understood that the design for [assistme.com] should not over-power the listings (i.e., the search results) and any imagery they will likely contain; but rather to bring attention to the publications listed.
The SR should provide the design elements needed to integrate any other page linked to the DB navigation from which publications will be purchased and managed.
Kindly notice that we add to our logo:
(a) the trademark symbol (R); and
(b) the following strap line: ... make a difference!
(c) feel free to change the logo color scheme (so long as you keep the retain the color of the smoke).
as seen on: http://www.assistme.net
Also, as we have attached a ZIP file containing state/country flags, we ask that you kindly incorporate these into the Registration and Login section; while maintaining the format as:
[flag - REGION abbreviation]
Ex. [flag - AL], to indicate the state of Alabama
Ex. [flag - IN], to indicate the country of India

Mike Ferguson, of Birkenshaw, was due to appear in court next week after being charged with speeding earlier this year. He was stopped by police as he drove down the A1 in Lincolnshire in January carrying the liver from St James's Hospital in Leeds to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Mr Ferguson's union, the GMB, said the Crown Prosecution Service had decided the prosecution was not in the public interest.
Mr Ferguson, 56, who faced losing his job if he had been prosecuted, said he was "overjoyed" at the news.
"I am absolutely delighted but we cannot let this stop here," he said. "What we need now is to have the law clarified so this doesn't happen to someone else."
Mr Ferguson said he was looking forward to seeing a copy of the letter from the CPS confirming the case had been dropped.
"This is only the first half over with, what we need to achieve now is a review of the law."
Mr Ferguson said the last few months had been hard work but the support of the public had helped him to continue.
"As far as I was concerned I was in the right. When people are waiting for transplant organs it is essential that they receive them as quickly as possible. This case was an emergency."
Mr Ferguson was prosecuted after his ambulance was photographed travelling at 104mph.
Gary Baker, the union's regional officer, said: "The GMB is very pleased the CPS has finally seen sense.
"The only good thing to come out of this absurd situation is in highlighting that the law needs to be updated."
Mr Baker added the union would continue its campaign to get the Government to review the law to avoid similar cases happening in the future.
Operations director for West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service Bob Williams said: "We are pleased that Mike Ferguson will now be able to continue his work without the threat of a court case hanging over him."

This is a very special picture! My daughter Seona always hates her photos. This is a picture of her that she actually likes. I couldn't wait to make a scrapbook layout of it.
Uh oh…what have I done?
I am the world's worst person for documenting my thoughts. Even more so if there's a possibility that someone else might read them. When I was a kid I would be given a diary for Christmas and almost all the days would read "Nothing much happened today" because I never wrote about my feelings or […]

As the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained momentum, your product will need to connect to the internet at some level. Knowing where to start to launch your IoT product is the hardest part. One of the best solutions to getting your IoT product development project up and running is using an IoT platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Cardinal Peak has built dozens of IoT products and we frequently recommend the use of an IoT platform to speed development, reduce risk, improve security and keep your system up to current standards.
Any real product has many more nuisances for example, security, scalability, analytics and third-party integrations. These are just a few why you should consider using an IoT platform. An IoT PaaS effectively provides continuous updates to the underlying platform keep security up-to-date and be compatible with the latest standard or provide integrations to other services.
At Cardinal Peak, we see the importance of IoT platforms and have built many commercial products on top of some of the best PaaS solutions. A good platform can reduce initial development schedule and cost as well as provide peace of mind that you have future-proofed (as much as is possible in this rapidly changing market).
While using a PaaS makes your product easier to maintain, there is still an engineering need to design your unique product. The figure below illustrates product development needs on top of your selected PaaS to create your unique IoT product.
Cardinal Peak has developed many IoT products using a variety of communications technologies and utilizing different services. We continue to evaluate different platform providers as they start to gain traction in the market.
We have used Ayla Networks more than any other platform and have completed many products for top brands with Ayla. We have developed solutions for tank-less hot water heaters, air conditioners, water softeners, lighting systems and more. In fact, we have built more Ayla-based product that any company in the world.

The fourteenth chapter of Revelation outlines the work that is to be done by the people of God just before the second advent of our Saviour. Three messages are there represented, which must go to all the inhabitants of the world.
John writes of an angel which he saw flying "in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
"And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb."
These three angels represent the people who accept the light of God's messages, and go forth as His agents to sound the warning throughout the length and breadth of the earth. Christ declared to His followers, "Ye are the light of the world." To every soul that accepts Jesus, the cross of Calvary speaks: "Behold the worth of the soul. 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.'" Nothing is to be permitted to hinder this work. It is the all-important work for this time, and it is to be far-reaching as eternity.
From the beginning of this world's history, there has been opposition between the forces of good and of evil. God declared, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel." Man vainly attempted to exalt himself by following his own way, in harmony with Satan's temptation and in opposition to the will of God. He thus gained a knowledge of evil, but he gained it at the cost of his loyalty; and his disobedience opened the flood-gates of woe upon our world.
Ever since the fall of Adam, men have been trying to exalt themselves by the same means. When will they learn that the only way to true exaltation is the path of obedience? Men's plans may seem to them to be exceedingly wise, but there is no safety in following them unless they are in accordance with a "Thus saith the Lord."

So pleased to welcome back (although it's been far too long) Anna Marie Mitchell to the studio today. Such a talented, insightful, and lovely (inside and out!) young woman — and so gracious and mature (in the best of ways, of course) beyond her years. A 2016 graduate of Northfield High School, Anna has already recorded and released her own music, made major in-roads in the music communities in the Twin Cities — and in Nashville (!) — and is now getting ready to head off to college (not-so coincidentally — also in Nashville), where she plans to study music business and international relations.
In addition to chatting a bit (mostly listening to me gush about how amazing she is — and she really is!) — Anna performed three of her original tunes:
Burn On
House of Matches
Can you tell I love this woman? Such a treat to chat with her and hear her perform (and I wish y'all could have also seen her guitar stylings — that gal can play!). So excited to see where she's headed — and looking forward to keeping in touch and featuring her in the coming months when she's back in Minnesota visiting family — and performing locally and in the Twin Cities!
Listen to the full segment here.

As one of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster directors, Michael Bay doesn't make a habit of defending himself or his filmmaking approach; frankly, he no longer ha$ to. However, the situation with the live-action movie reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bay is set to produce only seems to be getting worse and worse in the eyes of fans.
After an early script for the film - now simply titled Ninja Turtles - was allegedly leaked online, it didn't take long to see that the writing bar had been set lower than fans were ready to accept. Now Michael Bay has commented on the script in question, claiming that it was produced long before he or anyone at his company was attached to the project. But that likely won't be enough to sway skeptics.
It would be hard to find anyone to vocally support the supposed script for Ninja Turtles, since its crimes against artistic license have been well-documented already. No longer mutants at war with the shadowy Foot Clan ninjas, Leo, Don, Raph and Mikey are presented in the new film as extraterrestrial beings facing off against a covert military force (can you tell Michael Bay's involved yet?), all while cracking pop-culture jokes and zany references. The script was so objectionable that Turtles co-creator Peter Laird deemed no aspect worth saving, recommending that it would be best for all concerned if it was trashed entirely.
Michael Bay has apparently decided that enough is enough, and is attempting to distance himself and his production company from the script. The comment from Bay was spotted by Latino Review, and might raise a few eyebrows among those who have been following the TMNT reboot for some time:
"The leaked script for Ninja Turtles that different sites continue to comment on was written well before I, or anyone at Platinum Dunes, was involved with the project.
That script saw the shredder a long time ago.
This is tired, old news -- Wait for the movie!"
While it's true that the script was not produced in the last few months, and is in all likelihood not the one that director Jonathan Liebesman will be following, the case is not that simple. For starters, the script - if legitimate - was dated as having been completed in January of this year, roughly a month before Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes were attached. It's fair for Bay to claim that the script didn't ever stand a chance of being accepted if it was lacking in quality, but there aren't many signs that producing a story that fans would approve of is the top priority.
One co-creator of the Ninja Turtles may have publicly denounced the absurdity of the leaked script (we believe the term "fundamentally flawed" was used), but the other seems completely on board. Optimism on Kevin Eastman's part isn't a crime in itself, but his perspective on the potential of the reboot may not be as clear as some would like. When explaining the film's delay until May 2014, Eastman explained that the latest script being developed wasn't just strong, but "as good as the last version — they've really knocked it out of the park." If there is any chance that the "last version" referred to is the one that Bay claims saw the shredder (no pun) a long time (read: months) ago, then those words may not instill much confidence.
As for Bay's hope that fans will wait until the film is finished to pass judgement, that is a sentiment that even we can understand. Sure, there may not be many fan-favorite creative minds shaping the story - not to mention rewriting the characters' origins - but that doesn't mean the movie has to be terrible. Dropping the title to simply Ninja Turtles may serve the the purpose of slicker marketing, but it could also be the first hint that the movie could speak to the previous trilogy's now-adult audience.
Where the action and fight choreography of the reboot is concerned, there really is no better place to turn for inspiration than The Raid: Redemption. That's the style that's influencing the reboot, according to Eastman, and anyone who doubts it's a wise move need only read our review of The Raid. Should Ninja Turtles even come close to the tension and pace set by The Raid, fans might just see Raph and the gang in a whole new light. Pairing serious martial arts choreography with a slightly grander setting, and some beloved villains and thugs thrown in for good measure could be a winning combination, provided it's handled with enough care. 'Could' being the operative word.
We can only hope that the Internet unrest will act as a reminder to Bay and Liebesman that the Ninja Turtles may be a dormant film property, but there are still plenty of fans invested in its direction.
To what extent the film will be 'shredded' by fans remains to be seen, when Ninja Turtles opens in U.S. theaters on May 16th, 2014.

Grant funds under this program may not be used to supplant or replace other available non-Federal construction money. These grant funds may be used for emergency or modernization activities only to the extent that they supplement the amount of construction funds that would, in the absence of these grant funds, be available to a grantee from non-Federal funds for these purposes.
An LEA signs a contract for a $300,000 roof replacement and plans to use its capital expenditure fund to pay for the renovation. Since the LEA already has non-Federal funds available for the roof project, it may not now use a grant from this program to pay for the project or replace its own funds in order to conserve its capital fund.
The LEA from the example of supplanting that has the $300,000 roof commitment has also received a $400,000 estimate for the replacement of its facility's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The LEA has not made any commitments for the HVAC system because it has no remaining funds available to pay for that work. Since other funds are not available, it would not be supplanting if the LEA received an emergency grant under this program to pay for the HVAC system.

This is one of the favorite hairstyles of women, because almost no woman who does not look like as a good choice for every face shape.
If you choose this spring Bob to be your new hairstyle, here are some tips. While it is good for every hair type, it is suitable for those who have thin hair.
If you have a round or Hearth face, a longer bob, as to the shoulder is a great choice for you. Well will you look if you have long bangs combed back and side. Women who have a round face should avoid the short and very wavy bob, because in that way will further emphasize the round form.
If your face is square shaped then Decide for a gradual bob – longer forward behind shorter. Make sure the length of the hair, it has to be long though three to five inches of beard. Bob in length to the chin is not a good choice as this will further stress already expressed angularly face.
Bob with straight bangs best suits oval, elongated hearth face. If you have a short neck, then avoid the bob. Line of the chin, as this will only emphasize the lack.
The long bob to match all types of people, but hair can and layers to trimmed. If you have a square shaped face then divide the hair on half, and if you have oval or elongated face, the better choice is to devide the hair on the middle. Also if you have an elongated face, well you stand slightly wavy bob, while the round shape of the face, flat hair is the real goal.
If you have very curly hair, be careful what you do Bob, you do not seem to have a trapeze shape of the head. Graded form of hair here is a great choice.
But if you are dealing with very thin hair, then trimmed in cascade, so will get the volume.
