Because of our boutique agency approach, when you list your property with us the entire Move sales team works on achieving an outstanding result.
The fact that many of our clients who originally bought through us also use Move to sell their properties, is testament to our excellent customer service. Our clients also benefit from expertise gathered over years marketing a diverse range of residential properties.
Dealing with a multitude of prospective purchasers face to face, solid database work and cross-selling is the cornerstone to MOVE'S sales success.
The internet is also crucial to the successful marketing of your property. At MOVE Property Agents we understand that more and more, buyers are using the internet as their primary search tool. MOVE also sells properties to expatriates who purchase after viewing property on the internet.
From our cutting edge marketing to our high exposure office location, the MOVE sales team is committed to achieving the best price for your property.
A large part of our successful sales come from our existing client database or referrals from our client database who are actively looking to purchase or sell. We also have an email serviced database of purchasers which presently sits at over 5,000 subscribers. These people are looking to purchase IN OUR AREA and are contacted when a property becomes available to meet their criteria. This is another tool available to reach potential buyers.
Whichever mode of sale you decide is best for your property, Auction, Private Treaty or Tender/Expression of Interest, in the 10 days prior to any formal marketing on the property we exhaust the qualified buyer leads on our databases. We often get premium prices for properties without having to go to the lengths of a formal marketing campaign - saving you time and money. We also sell many homes in the area without anyone knowing about it - with no signboard, no advertising, etc. We may have sold one of your neighbours this way without you knowing and yours could be sold this way too.
Getting the best possible price for your property and selling it sooner rather than later is no doubt the result you want. But no matter which selling strategy you use (auction or private treaty) you will need to discuss both your pricing strategy (marketing with or without a price) and your price expectations. These decisions will be based upon your individual circumstances including property type as well as your timeframe. The price should be based on the market rather than your needs. We will supply you with current information when considering price. Recent sale prices of properties in the area similar to yours, Properties similar to yours currently for sale and The current state of the property market.
It is important to note that there is no single best way to sell your home. Each home and owner is different and each situation should be considered individually. Our Sales Agent will compare the success of each method in your area for properties similar to yours. There is likely to be a trend for one of them and you may achieve greater success by choosing it. In brief here is how the two methods work:
Private Treaty
Your home goes onto the market with a predetermined asking price. There is no official sale date and your marketing strategy may vary depending on your individual situation, budget and timeframe. Potential buyers will either accept the asking price or, more likely, start by making a lower offer. It is in your best interests to have your agent handle the negotiations which will be aimed at raising the offered amount to your asking price. This method of sale is effective in the long term and targets buyers looking in a specific price range, or concerned about overspending in a competitive auction atmosphere. Some considerations about this method include: Your asking price is likely to be the maximum paid or the basis for lower offers, The open-ended timeframe can result in the property being on the market for a longer time increasing marketing costs, The lack of urgency or pressure often results in sales falling over between the time of deposit and exchange of contracts and Where a cooling off period applies, buyers may simply change their mind.
Auctions are highly focussed marketing campaigns designed to expose your property to the maximum number of buyers, maximise your sale price and minimise the number of days your home is on the market. Your home is put up for sale to the highest bidder on a specified date and this is preceded by an intensive marketing campaign including selected "open days". The impending auction date creates a sense of urgency amongst buyers by putting a clear timeframe on your campaign. This method of sale also creates a competitive atmosphere on auction day that is aimed at letting the market determine the highest price for your home.
After The Sale Settlement Period
The deposit paid by the purchaser will generally be placed either in the agent's Trust Account or invested by the agent in an Interest Bearing Deposit pending settlement. In most cases, settlement is 42 days from the date of exchange. When all the formalities have been completed, the settlement amount will be accounted to you, according to your instructions. Stamp duty is paid by the purchaser.

New Delhi: In winter, Delhi's air quality deteriorates drastically because of a temperature inversion, which traps pollutants close to the ground. During an inversion, the air temperature near the ground becomes less than above, up to a certain height. Now, imagine a technology to fight this meteorological phenomenon.
A team led by Moshe Alamaro, a scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Iyyanki V Muralikrishna, a former professor of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, is pursuing an idea that could help disrupt the winter inversion layer.
This group of scientists plans to pilot a project under which de-commissioned jet engines will be placed close to a power plant. The turbojets and turboprop engines will be directed upwards to form powerful updrafts and disrupt the winter inversion. The energy from these jets is enough to penetrate through the inversion layer and dissipate the energy trapped below the inversion layer, believe the experts involved in the project.
This will ensure that emissions from the power plant are trapped and brought above the inversion layer, they believe. The scientists were inspired by a similar experiment with turbojets in the Baltic region about 45 years ago. A technical paper by the team shows that a single jet engine can address the smog generated by a 1,000MW coal power plant.
"The added emissions due to the jet operation are roughly 0.1% of the emissions from the power plant. Furthermore, the jet engines do not operate continuously. They will work only during foggy conditions, which could last for 30-50 days a year. Therefore, the emissions due to the jet engines are negligible in comparison to the emissions generated by the power plant," Alamaro told TOI.
The team is planning to hold a workshop, in collaboration with an IIT. "We prefer Delhi. Let's see how things shape up. We also prefer to pilot the experiment near a power plant close to the capital, which is badly affected by smog," said Muralikrishna. He did not comment on the cost of the experiment but said it would depend on how much fuel was used.

Imagine a world suddenly – very suddenly – without men.
Planes would drop out of the sky as pilots disappeared. Cities would grow cold and dark as power generators stopped. No fire trucks would come to deal with the inevitable disasters. Legislatures would empty. Wars would end.
Now imagine the flip side.
Babies would fall out of vanished mother's arms. Things would get dirty and dusty. Men would eat out of cans. Liquor stores and bars would be booming. Drag queens would always have dates.
In the short term, women would suffer.
But, in the long run, men would turn on each other.
These were the parallel worlds that Philip Wylie described in his 1951 what-if book, The Disappearance. For protagonist Bill Gaunt, a university professor, in one instant his educated stay-at-home wife Paula vanishes, along with their daughter, granddaughter and housemaid.
He scarcely notices, at first.
For Paula, after Bill vanishes, the effect is immediate. A driverless car smashes into the front of the house – and nobody comes to help.
Two years later, the women's world is under control whereas the men's, despite its distinct physical advantage, descends into deadly conflict and chaos.
When I discovered The Disappearance in 1974 or 1975, I was struck by what it said about the place of women and the nature of men on the eve of the Cold War.
I've been thinking about it while watching The Week the Women Went, CBC's eight-part reality show that sends most of the women of Hardisty, Alta., packing off to a Rocky Mountains resort for a week. Their men are left to fend for themselves, their kids, their pets, their homes and their jobs.
The series airs Mondays at 8 p.m.; the four episodes that have aired so far are available online.
It started out strongly, with an average of 770,000 viewers for its debut and 858,000 on its second outing. By Episode 3, the ratings dropped to 548,000.
Who knows? Maybe Canadians would rather watch Americans eat bugs on U.S. reality shows than see Alberta oil patch workers cope with their toddlers. Sure, one shoots himself with a nail gun and another takes a BB pellet to the butt, but Survivor this isn't.
Billed as "a social experiment,'' TWTWW doesn't go all the way. Here was an opportunity to bust through the stereotypes and show how the genders are interdependent – or not.
Instead, the producers keep throwing the men a lifeline. For example, many of them rely on their mothers, sisters or teenage daughters to get them out of their parenting jams. Not all the women are gone.
As for the women who did leave, they're out whitewater rafting, not fighting for survival in a world where there are no men to do the heavy lifting.
Admittedly, much has changed since 1951 when very, very few women piloted commercial jets, were civil engineers or performed neurosurgery.
But, sadly, not everything is different.
One Hardisty husband complains about his wife "getting her panties in a knot'' over his fishing trips while another talks about "putting her in her place.'' Most of the men fail to appreciate how difficult their week will be, dismissing how much their wives do both inside and outside the home.
So far at least, nobody has learned anything from the experience. No lightbulbs have gone off. No insights are lent. Not even about how women are the guilt and the glue that hold communities together, despite not running the towns.
Too bad.
One thing The Disappearance made clear is how women's interpersonal connectivity can get them through anything, while men's talent for action and technology can get them into trouble.
That's not just a comment on the sexes, but also on foreign policy in a dangerous time.
Wylie's book should be required reading.

Francesca's Restaurant
Good Food Ireland
Our Reviews:
'Mr McLarnon is a chef who cares and, as such, he is in the perfect place to showcase his cooking. Why so? Simply because everyone who works in Brooks Hotel cares – cares to do their best; cares to be on top of their game; cares to make certain that the customer has everything they need when they stay at what is, for us, the very best hotel in Dublin.'
- John & Sally McKenna, Mc Kennas Guide
' A hint that Brooks might have an edge was when recent celebrity guest Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall had a tour of the kitchen and a demo of how to turf-smoke a lamb steak. They gave him a souvenir sod of turf so he could try it at home. Patrick McLarnon has been the chef in Brooks for 15 years. He's a blogger (patcooksirish.blogspot.com), forager and gardener.
- Catherine Cleary - The Irish Times
' For the main course I had the pan-fried Dublin Bay prawns with colcannon and an Irish whiskey cream sauce. The sauce made for a velvety and necessary accompaniment. Slivers of crispy bacon added a salty underpinning yet were elegantly placed so the 'bacon and cabbage' antecedent stepped out in style. My companion had the pork belly which was a magic dish of contrasting crispiness, sweer fat and rich flesh. Superb.
- Ross Golden-Bannon - The Sunday Business Post
'The measured service at Brooks is luxe, not lax. Staff are highly trained, lending a Continental feel of being looked after. We could use more of it in Dublin. Everything was laid gently on our table, with a smile. The food is simple, but something to write home about'
- Lorna Keating, I Love Saturday
'You can also have a delightful, mouthwatering meal at Francesca's restaurant in Brooks Hotel. Don't miss their freshly poached chicken with tender mushrooms, that have a hint of sweetness, steeped in a rich, heavenly cream sauce. The head chef here is a keen forager and offers meals made with indigenous and wild ingredients through the seasons'
- Nicola Monteath, BBC Good Food Middle East

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
From New York Times bestselling author and beloved Today show co-anchor Hoda Kotb-inspiring stories of people who find their life's purpose in unexpected ways, often surprising themselves and the ones they love most.
Most of us wonder what we're doing. We float around in the glass half-empty, gaze out into the world of possibilities, and wonder if we should get off of our raft and climb out. Maybe even today you asked yourself: Is it too late to do that thing that made me so happy when I was young? Could what matters most to me finally be the center of my life? Can I really trust this yearning voice in my head and longing in my heart? Do I feel like I'm where I belong?
In this incredible collection of stories, Hoda Kotb reveals individuals who reached a critical point in their lives to suddenly find they're being pulled in a completely new direction. By following their passions, their gut, and their heart, these people learned their life purpose was utterly unlike what they'd planned. From the investment banker who became a minister after years of working in Manhattan, to the young woman from a blue-collar background whose passion took her to Harvard Medical School, or the high-powered PR exec who found herself drawn to a pioneering residential community, the stories in Where They Belong come from an array of ordinary individuals who have discovered the power of embracing change. Hoda also interviews celebrities, such as actress/producer Roma Downey, comedienne Margaret Cho, and boxer Laila Ali, who have all pursued their passions to find fulfillment.
With examples of perseverance, self-reflection, and new attitudes on life, Where They Belong is a motivating and inspirational book at finding the right path for your personal journey.

Whenever i see someone in SL i always wonder why they chose that name. Not in a bad just in a curious way since in SL we can choose what to be called. I always love it when i see such a creative name that i'm jealous i didnt think of it.
My name well its simple. i had a cat(Yes i am a crazy cat lady) named Sid, after Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. Well Sid meant alot to me and i really believe that he was my Soul Mate. Sounds crazy? Yes, Probably, I Dont Care i really believe it. We had a bond that can't even be described. But i wont get all mushy about it. Unfortunately Sid passed, and i still miss him like crazy.
Fast foward to when i created my SL Av. I wanted a name that was cool of course and something gender neutral in case i wanted to be a boy lol. & Sydd was born. i chose Sinister as my last name because i think it fits me perfectly. If you only knew…. 😉
❤ Sydd

The European Commission launched public consultation on priority energy projects. Among almost 420 submitted projects you may also find some that refer to Slovakia.
In the process of sorting out energy infrastructure projects according to their potential for common European interest the European Commission (EC) launched an online consultation which should help to decide which projects will gain more advantageous position in the Union energy system.
For practical reasons the indicative list of potential Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) has been divided into one list for electricity projects - which contains 279 items, and one list for gas projects - with 137 projects enlisted.
Deadline to participate is September 20th, 2012, and target groups include wide scale of public authorities, private organisations, industry associations, citizens, NGOs, consumer groups, trade unions and other relevant stakeholders.
Support for PCIs
In October 2011 the EC tabled a plan for €50 billion investments to Europe's transport, energy and digital networks (Connecting Europe Facility) in the new multiannual financial framework 2014-2020. The energy sector can look forward to €9.1 billion boost acting as a leverage for more funding from other private and public investors.
This is the first time that the EU is co-financing the construction of large energy infrastructure from its regular budget.
Projects of common interest will benefit from a special easier, faster and more transparent permit granting procedure which will not exceed 3 years. They will be eligible for the above-mentioned EU funding, be it grants, project bonds or guarantees. However, PCIs should involve at least two Member States and investors will have to prove that they are commercially not viable.
The Union-wide list of PCIs is proposed to be established for the first time in 2013 and then updated every two years.
The legislative proposals of October 2011 identified 12 priority corridors which apply to specific Member States and thematic areas where all EU member states are concerned.
Slovak projects
Four of the European energy priority corridors involve Slovakia: North-South electricity interconnections in Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe; North-South gas interconnections in CE and SE Europe; Southern Gas Corridor designed to transport gas from the Caspian Basin, Central Asia, the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean Basin to the EU; and Oil supply connections in CE Europe.
List for electricity projects includes six projects referring to Slovakia. The company Slovenská elektrizačná prenosová sústava (SEPS), which operates transmission system in the Slovak Republic, acts as promoter of two projects:
(1) Building of new 2x400kV lines between two substations Veľký Ďur and Gabčíkovo with line length of 93 kilometres. It should help to evacuate power from two new blocks being built in Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant.
(2) Modernization of Voľa point of splitting in the East of Slovakia.
SEPS together with Hungarian transmission operator MAVIR also promote new electricity line between Gabčíkovo and Gönyű substation on the Hungarian side as well as connection between substations Rimavská Sobota (SK) and Sajóivánka (HU) - both with new 2x400 kV line. MAVIR also submitted project of erection of new high-voltage overhead transmission lines between Slovak substation Veľké Kapušany and Hungarian substation which is still to be defined in the area of Kisvárda.
The company NAFTA, which operates domestic hydrocarbon production and underground natural gas storage (UGS) facilities, promotes regional electricity storage and balancing project in CE at its UGS Láb. It would consist of installation of electric driven compressors and steam turbine that will enable production of electricity from turbines exhaust gases.
Modernization of Láb UGS facility is also the purpose of six projects in the gas list of potential PCIs. These were submitted by companies NAFTA and POZAGAS.
Slovak gas TSO Eustream and its Hungarian partner MGT submitted project of new two-way pipeline interconnection between Veľký Krtíš (SK) and Vecsés in the suburbs of Budapest. With length of approximately 115 kilometres and annual transmission capacity of 5 billion cubic metres, the project will also ensure Slovak access to prepared Southern Gas Corridor projects or LNG terminal in Croatia. Both companies agreed that new interconnector will start commercial operation on 1. January 2015.
Another potential PCI is Poland – Slovakia gas interconnection planned by Eustream and Polish company GAZ-SYSTEM with yet undefined final route nor capacity. Start of commercial operation is predicted for 2017.

The NESCAC is brimming with talented student-athletes and the "Friday Feature" is a way for fans to get to know them throughout the academic year. The conference introduces Amherst's Isabelle Ouyang, a women's golfer who is a double-major in biology and French.
Isabelle Ouyang, Amherst College
Sophomore, Women's Golf
Edina, Minn./Edina High School
Majors: Biology and French
Why did you choose to attend Amherst?
I chose to attend Amherst because of the balance between strong academics and competitive athletics. Additionally, the open curriculum that Amherst offers is liberating because it gives me the flexibility to take classes outside of my major and allows me to become educated in subjects that I would not be able to study otherwise.
Why did you choose to be a Division III student-athlete?
Division III sports were ideal for me because I personally prioritize school over athletics, and Division III really emphasizes the importance of academics. Division III allows me to participate in other activities outside of golf and gives me the ability to focus on school.
What is your dream job/career? Why?
Working in the makeup industry would be really interesting! I like the idea of being involved in the development of new products and it would be a really unique experience.
What has been the greatest part of your college experience so far?
For me, the greatest part of my college experience has been the relationships I've created with my friends, teammates, and professors. I'm lucky to be surrounded by such supportive, influential people.
What are the top three things on your bucket list?
1. Learn a third language
2. Play a round of golf at Augusta National
3. See the Great Barrier Reef
Who is your favorite professor? Why?
Dr. Sheila Jaswal has been a womderfully positive influence and mentor for me at Amherst. I worked for her as a teaching assistant last semester and really enjoyed it.
What has been the most interesting part of your major so far?
I really like learning about French history; right now I'm taking a class about women in 19th century France, which is a subject that I would never study outside of my major. As for biology, learning about the processes that are constantly occurring at a molecular level is really interesting.
What advice would you give to yourself as a high school first year?
A piece of advice that I would give to myself as a high school first year would be to not focus too much on one specific exam or paper. I think that we get too caught up in little things like that, rather than focusing on the big picture.
What is your favorite place on your campus and why?
My favorite place on campus (other than my bed) is the new science center. It is a beautiful building that has many great study spaces.
What is something interesting about you that others might not know?
I really love my home state of Minnesota.

It seems that eyelashes-to-there are today's little black dress. Capitalizing on the hot trend, Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara has combined a mascara and lash enhancer in one product. The package states that this "lash enhancing formula complements the natural growth cycle of your lashes and improves their overall appearance and condition with each use".
One of the first things I noticed about Grow Luscious Mascara is the brush. This mascara has a very large brush (the brush is shown in exact size on the package). When I took out the mascara, I was struck by the fact that the brush…and the tube, including the opening…are the exact same size as MAC Opulash Mascara. The formulas are vastly different, both in performance and the fact that MAC Opulash does not claim to be a lash enhancer.
After using Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara for a few weeks, I have mixed feelings. It started out fine; I'm used to using mascaras with the big brushes, so I didn't have issues with that. For the first week of use, I didn't experience any clumping of the formula. But I noticed as time went on, that it did start to clump and the mascara started to build up at the end of the brush, so that getting in and covering the small eyelashes became difficult and messy. By the end of the day, I also noted flaking and this, to me, is unacceptable in a mascara.
In terms of the lash enhancement, it's hard to say. Since I used this product for about 3 weeks, I don't think it's fair to state one way or the other whether there was a significant difference. Would I buy this mascara again? Probably not; there are too many other great mascaras out to tolerate less-than-perfect application.
Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara is available at mass market retailers, including drug and discount stores. I purchased my tube at Target for $7.99.

said Archie Workman on Saturday Live yesterday. Archie is a lengthsman and through his work maintaining verges and ditches he discovered that drain covers are often worth a second or third look – and he's not the only one who thinks so.
Yesterday was a grey day, one of those days when the cloud cover is a pretty much uniform blanket of grey, and there is no nuance to the light, so that even naked trees cast no interesting shadows, and puddles provide only flat reflections. Looking up wasn't very inspiring, so I was glad to have Archie's words ringing in my ears.
First I noticed the many different types of pavement surface on my route from the flat to the station. The smooth, oily-black tarmac of the landscaped path down the edge of the estate to the ring road roundabout meanders like a river alongside and slightly lower than the main road, and I felt a little protected from the traffic rushing by – it gives a gentler introduction to the city centre. The dull grey standard town pavement surfaces I walked on most of the rest of the way have been made both messy and interesting by flecks of chewing gum now so deeply embedded in the pavement they look like stains. The cost of removing chewing gum from pavements is apparently a huge problem for councils, but I think once it's stopped being sticky it's not only not a bad thing, it has creative potential – realised sweetly by Paula Morison, who saw constellations below her feet during the daytime to mirror the ones in the sky at night.
In Sheffield you can find stars in the pavement outside the town hall – sons and daughters of the city who have gone on to shine in some way. (Jessica Ennis gets her own gold postbox as well.) Then in the part-pedestrianised street between the Winter Gardens and the forecourt of the Crucible-Lyceum-City Library area are the cobbles-that-don't-hobble, but instead lie neatly tessellated and flat. They are inviting to walk on (unlike old cobbles which, though pretty, are a treacherous and painful prospect for some of us), they suggest this is a place for perambulation, a place to take your time, a place to be social, where people have priority over vehicles.
The more I looked down the more things I found to be fascinated by. At the station I started to notice people's shoes. It was Saturday and the platform for the Manchester train was crowded with people dressed up for a day out, some headed for the airport with suitcases and dressed to travel. The variety of footwear was amazing. Everybody's shoes looked clean, fresh, carefully chosen and new. The contrast with the muddy grime of the platform surface was slightly shocking, like those part-animated films you used to get before CGI, with bright cartoon characters drawn onto dull, real backgrounds. As if only one could be 'true'. The train was so crowded many people couldn't get seats and I ended up sitting on my bag to save standing for an hour. This afforded me an excellent view of shoes interacting with each other, servants of their owners up above. When you look at shoes and not at their owners, you start to see how feet have their own life and how restrained they are from living it by the demands of the person in charge. A foot lifts – and then drops in a hesitant half-step forward and then back again. A foot inches closer to the foot of another – and is rebuffed when the other's foot turns away; while their owners appear to be talking quite pleasantly a dance of rejection is played out at ground level.
In Manchester outside the Central Library a group of young women, possibly a hen party, were playing a game that involved freezing in place (I mean stopping suddenly, though it was a nippy day and they all had bare legs so unless they were wearing beer-tights they were probably feeling pretty chilly). Each woman wore a different pair of glamourous platform stilettos – the kind that are so teeteringly high that they confer a tendency to walk with a bend at the knee, bottom sticking out, arms slightly akimbo for balance; when the group froze and held the posture they produced an almost abstract fashion-plate, tribute-to-modernism image of a tangle of angles, of pink legs and many-coloured shoes parrot-bright against the grey, rainy city streets.
Shoes can tell stories – such as what it might be like to flee to safety, or how important you are, but as with all stories they are given meaning by the teller. Imelda Marcos' shoes were seen as evidence of her Marie-Antoinette attitudes to the people, but perhaps she was just a hoarder?* I wonder what story you would tell about my shoes, and whether it would be the same as the story I would tell?

NITROGEN FIX: Josh Beinke, Koongawa is congratulated by FREE Eyre EP representative Tess Walch on winning the Show Us Ya Nods Challenge with his lupin crop.
KOONGAWA farmer Josh Beinke has claimed bragging rights and a new soil moisture probe in the Show Us Ya Nods Challenge with an outstanding Mandelup lupin crop. The competition, in its second year, is run by FREE Eyre, Grains Research & Development Corporation, Profarmer Australia and Agbyte.

REWARDS for producing high protein crops are likely to be one of few positives for croppers heading into the 2016 harvest
"Since 2012, stocks have been going up, mainly due to the Black Sea and other regions ramping up production, and there's not enough demand to compensate for the extra supply. But one positive story developing is the protein story." Nick Crundall said globally there was a lack of crops with high protein. "If we can get high protein crops this season, we could be a major supplier for the market," he said.

Surviving Low Grain Prices
FREE Eyre and Market Check "Pre-Harvest" Seminars
South Australian farmer-owned agribusiness FREE Eyre and Australia's largest independent grain grower advisory service, Market Check have released the dates of their highly anticipated "Pre-Harvest Seminars". Market Check is an independent, Australian owned business that offers year-round grain marketing services to progressive Australian farmers. They are the largest independent grower advisory business in Eastern Australia and have been operating for almost 23 years.
"Given that wheat and barley prices are at one of the lowest points in recent history, the importance of farmers aligning themselves with a company whose track record demonstrates their capacity to maximize market opportunities has never been more important. FREE Eyre's partnership with Market Check now provides South Australian growers with access to the coveted Market Check Strategy via their membership services, as well as to Market Checks Managed Programs. These programs boast an exceptional track record and have delivered growers among the best returns of any similar pool manager throughout Australia over the past 5 years." said FREE Eyre CEO, Mark Rodda.
A series of seven Pre-Harvest Seminars will be held throughout the state and will focus upon current global trading dynamics and their effects on Australian grain prices and importantly, recommended grain marketing tactics for South Australian farmers for the forthcoming harvest.
"Due to its export focus, South Australia is a vital component of Australia's interaction with the global grain market. As the Australian Grain industry nears full de-regulation, a more globally influenced market and industry consolidation is heightening price uncertainty. South Australian growers need access to expert strategic advice and premium marketing options." Said Brett Stevenson – Managing Director and Founder of Market Check.
Market Check operate pre-harvest, harvest and post-harvest managed programs, which carry a heavy emphasis on the use of sophisticated hedging tools such as futures and options to ensure the best possible farm gate returns for growers.

Growers get the nod to check legumes for nitrogen fixation
'Dr Ryder says for farming systems to derive maximum benefits from legume N-fixation, optimal nodulation is necessary.'
"Sampling legume root systems for evidence of good or poor nodulation is a recommended management strategy, regardless of whether the legume seed was or was not inoculated," Dr Ryder says.
'SA growers have extra incentive to check for nodulation in their crops this year – FREE Eyre and the GRDC, along with Agbyte and Profarmer Australia, have launched the second annual "Show us Ya Nods" challenge for the State's pulse and pasture producers.'

The Eyre Peninsula Grain Grower's Infrastructure Development Fund
There is no doubt that the release of the findings of FREE Eyre's survey of Eyre Peninsula grain grower's desire to establish a new grower-owned cooperative to investigate and potentially invest in grain-related infrastructure has created significant discussion. This engagement by grain growers, grain buyers, representative bodies and government is exactly what is needed.
Over the past three weeks, FREE Eyre has hosted eight public forums across the EP to discuss the background to the issue, the survey methodology, findings and recommendations. (Around 400 farming families completed the original survey, all of which accompanied the recommendations presented to the Agriculture Minister). Collectively, 120 people attended these latest forums to seek further information, express their opinions, views and offer alternative ideas on the original proposals.

HGC ANZ Competitive Ruling: attempted poaching (Outlaws)
There are rules in HGC ANZ 2018 which state, inter alia
(b) Teams that participate in any official HGC Australian and New Zealand Finals league (including Preseason Qualifiers, Open Division and Premier) will not be allowed to change any of their Team members at any time during the course of an HGC ANZ Phase.
(e) Players from within a team who has qualified for HGC ANZ Premier via either Preseason Qualifiers or the Promotion process as referred to in section 3.1(c) ("the Qualifying Team) will not be permitted to compete on behalf of any team other than the Qualifying Team for the duration of the Phase for which that team qualified ("the Qualified Phase").
(f) A Team who attempts to poach a player from a Qualifying Team prior to the conclusion of the Qualified Phase will be penalised. Such penalties may include deduction of points, withdrawal from the league and in the most serious instances, may be banned from competing in future HGC ANZ leagues and tournaments.
The current provision 2.1(e) and (f) are new clauses that were introduced this year to protect teams who have already qualified for HGC ANZ Premier Division from being poached by existing well established and better financed Premier teams. The intention as that we do not want those teams to lose their best players before the season even starts which would severely damages their chances within Premier.
We are advised that Outlaws, a currently qualified HGC ANZ Premier team (qualified by virtue of having finished top 4 in HGC ANZ Season 4 2017) have approached a player that is currently competing in the HGC ANZ Preseason Qualifiers. i.e. a team that has not yet qualified.
The rules referred to above apply to any attempted poaching of a player in a "Qualifying Team". We understand that there has been some confusion around what constitutes a Qualifying Team. A "Qualifying Team" is defined in clause 2.1(e) as one that "has" qualified for Premier division pursuant to 2.1(f). As Nekomimi does not fall within the definition of a Qualifying Team, we confirm that there has been no infringement of this rule 2.1(f) regardless whether or not the actions of Outlaws constituted "attempts to poach" .
Indeed, if there is an attempt to poach a team that has already qualified then the poaching team would be penalised.
It appears as though many have seized on the words "Qualifying Teams" and misconstrued this term (despite it's clear definition in clause 2.1(e)) to refer to teams that are in the process of qualifying. This interpretation is inconsistent with the definition of a "Qualifying Team" under rule 2.1(e). Having said that, to alleviate any confusion in the future, we propose to amend the words "Qualifying Team" in 2.1(e) and (f) to "Qualified Team".
The second issue relates to whether there has been any breach of clause 2.1(b) referred to above. On our review if this matter, there has not been any breach of clause 2.1(b) as there have been no player movements around the Outlaws roster.

The DMCI group of companies fully commits to good corporate governance by aligning our governance framework with international standards and best practices. We also adhere to a code of conduct that promotes ethical behaviour, justice and human rights. Our companies likewise commit to the use of alternative dispute resolution options and processes to settle conflicts or issues, if any, with our various stakeholders.
DMCI Project Developers, Inc. has a pending case with the regional trial court to compel the Bases Conversion Development Authority to arbitrate its unresolved issue over the P300 million deposit made by the DMCI group in 1996, as payment for its future subscription to the North Luzon Railways Corporation (Northrail) shares of stock. Northrail did not push through but the deposited amount was never returned.
Maynilad continues to support the arbitration process, even as the Philippine government filed an application with the High Court of Singapore to set aside an arbitration panel's ruling awarding the water company P3.4 billion as payment over losses due to a rate dispute with the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System.
DMCI Holdings, including its subsidiaries and affiliate companies, regularly partner with the public, private and non-profit sectors to foster sustainable development in the areas where we operate.

Positive Guidance For Preschool Children
It is especially hard to get a child with short attention spans (especially one with ADHD) to follow the rules. Sometimes children with such deficits do not hear things the same way you or I or other children would hear them. It is especially important for the teacher to establish eye contact, have the child verbally repeat the task given and make sure they follow through. Gentle reminders help as well as short commands, instead of giving a child a list of things to do all at once. Too many tasks can be overwhelming for a child, especially an ADHD child.
Instead of using "Time Out" all the time I got this idea from a friend and modified for my class.
Every child has a star with their name on it. There are 7 levels on the board. Each star begins on the middle level each day. With the caption "Will your star rise today"?
There are 3 levels up so when a child is "caught" being good I make a really big deal over moving their star to the next level. The captions on each level are 1. Looking Good 2. Getting Better 3. You are a Super Star!
For negative behavior, I just quietly move their star down so as to not give the child so much attention for the behavior. They get a 1st warning, 2nd warning, and then Time Out.
Children who end on the Super Star level every day of the week will get a special refrigerator award. At the beginning of the year, I use stars with the child's picture on it so they can recognize when their star has been moved. It works in my room. I have maybe only one time out a week if that. Most of the time they all end up a Super Star.
I've found that telling the children what they should do instead of what they shouldn't do brings the act of obedience along much easier for the children. For instance, use words like this to teach your children…. "use your walking feet." instead of "Don't run." "Use your inside voices." Instead of "Stop screaming" and "Keep your feet on the floor." instead of "Don't climb on the couch." "Sit on the chair." instead of "Don't stand on the chair." "Run your truck on the floor." instead of "Don't run your truck on the table." The best rules tell children what they should do, rather than what they shouldn't do.
Always praise when you see good behavior. Always acknowledge them by name and always try to do it in the presence of the other children. Not only are you reinforcing that behavior but you show these little people that they can get their much-needed approval and acceptance from you. I think you'll find the theory of "monkey see, monkey do." really does ring true during these moments.
Make transitions from one activity to another fun for the kids by singing songs and playing games. for instance, something simple that we all have to deal with every day, clean-up time. We often sing Barney's clean up song and for some miraculous reason, the kids have no qualms about cleaning up after themselves if they're singing while their working. You can even make up songs as you go the kids don't seem to know any different, and still seem to enjoy themselves. This goes for any kind of transition thru-out the day.
If you can't get the kid's attention you can also use flipping the lights on and off, so long as you teach them ahead of time what you expect when the lights are flipped. Of course, if any of the children are frightened by this method you shouldn't use it.
I use tons of positive reinforcement. It is harder to notice the good behavior but gets the job done really.
At circle times I like to say "I like the way that _____ is sitting. Great job. I go around the group and everyone wants to hear their name so they settle down pretty quickly.
Encouragement Circle- I teach preschool with a class of 15; mostly boys. Sit in a circle, the teacher starts by rolling a ball of yarn to someone in the circle and then has to say one thing they like about that person. Then that person holds part of the yarn and rolls the other end to another until everyone has had a turn to roll the yarn. In the end, you should have a web that connects everyone.

Acne is not a problem that just bothers the pores and skin on your confront, as it can also create on the shoulders and buttocks. You even now need to nip it in the bud if it occurs to you. Read through on for some zits treatment method guidelines.
You must usually keep away from popping, or selecting at, zits pimples. Popping your pimples will unfold the microorganisms even more, increasing blemishes. If you have been to repeatedly pick at skin in the same spot, it could result in pores and skin to crack open up and scar the spot as soon as it heals.
Don't use different pimples lotions at when. Some men and women get overzealous about their acne breakouts treatment initiatives and use each lotion and product they can find. The mixture of distinct, harsh components might conclude up damaging your pores and skin alternatively of benefiting it.
If you experience from persistent pimples, make confident to use only normal skin treatment merchandise. A lot of shop-bought products incorporate severe substances that may exasperate your skin problems. This can block your pores and boost your acne. Switching to a far more normal product can truly help you to have clearer pores and skin.
If you have entry to a pool, attempt to get benefit of it and swim as usually as you can. Swimming releases pressure and relaxes the physique and thoughts which can ease stress induced zits. Swimming in a pool has yet another benefit, as some individuals find that the chlorinated h2o diminishes their zits.
Did you know that making use of your mobile phone might be responsible for your acne breakouts? Your earpiece could select up oils and filth from your encounter, then rub these substances from your skin every time you use your cellphone. Cleanse your mobile phone carefully with an alcoholic beverages wipe to take away facial oil buildup. You should keep a phone a number of inches absent from the pores and skin on your experience.
Zits can impact several regions of the physique. Use the suggestions in this write-up to take care of your acne breakouts appropriately, no issue exactly where it is. Pimples can be dealt with, and with continued therapy, it can sooner or later fade away.

Global Gaming Factory (The company which recently bought the infamous tracker) has announced that they will begin a subscription based model in the near future.
They say that revenue from subscription fees and ad-revenue (wait, I get to pay a fee and still get a bunch of porn ads? SWEET!) will be used to pay off copyright holders. They also say that users who contribute more of their bandwidth to seeding will receive reduced fees (even free).
Now I'm not exactly opposed to file sharing, but I do have a problem when these companies accept money claiming to support copyright holders but in reality, they don't. I hope that this doesn't turn out like another AllOfMP3, I used that service big time and I knew it was too good to be true.
Although to be honest, I have a bit more faith in the swedish than I do in those damn ruskis.

…fuck that shit…that's why i still have torrentz.com bitch!!!
Theres also some news about "lending" some of your computer storage to get a lower subscription fee.
shit's just lame
and the "lending" thing probably means you'll be 'hosting' some liability
I'm going to murder every swede in the world…

Okay, it's been too long since I've posted here. Seriously. It's December. I need to say something.
I'd like to start by apologizing for the long absence. Life's been a bit nuts this month, on a personal level. I think they're settling out, but I thought that before and instead things got more nuts. So instead, I'm just going to go with it.
So, on to writing stuff.
NaNoWriMo has come and gone. I managed to eek out a win, but only barely. This one was tough. For a lot of reasons (mostly the personal stuff) I've found myself lately with almost no attention span. Those days where I was focused so much on writing that I could crank out 8-10k words? So not happening right now. I'm lucky if I can write three sentences without my attention wandering. I'm sure this will pass, but it's made writing more difficult than it usually is for me.
I got about 23k into Rise Above before I reached a point where I couldn't concentrate or remember what I was doing, so I switched gears and started my vampire project with the first book in that trilogy, Vintage. That's gone better and it's currently sitting at around 25k. The rest of my 50k? A short story and a couple of vignettes that rounded out the last couple thousand words.
I feel like I've been through a bit of a knock-down-drag-out fight on the writing front this month, and I'd be lying if I said that was fun. Oh sure, there were points that were great fun and I wrote some stuff that I liked, but the feeling of sitting down at my laptop and struggling to concentrate and string words together? Not fun. I miss the easy flow of words. I hope it'll come back. I think it will, if I can get other things settled. I hope so.
Looking forward, I have a short story to write for a blog project I was asked to participate in. It's always wonderful to be asked to join these things, as I see a huge compliment in the request. Those running these things like my writing enough that they want me to be part of what they're doing. Even on the occasions when I've had to turn down a request, I'm still smiling and happy to have been asked.
Actually, while we're on the subject, I realize I never did post about the last blog story project I was part of. The ladies of Pen & Muse were kind enough to let me join them for their Dark Carnival story event. It was a wonderful experience, both to write the story and to see what everyone else did with their carnival events. I highly recommend you take a look at the entire slate. There was a LOT of talent involved. My story, The Ring Toss, is here. I'd love it if you took a moment to read it. Let me know what you think. It was kind of a stretch for me, but I think it worked out well.
Beyond all that, things are in motion for the January 13, 2014 launch of The Nine, the final volume of the Mirrors of Bershan. I'm both excited for this and a bit sad. I'll miss Fay and Tavis. Actually, I already miss them a lot, not having written of them in so long. But that's the nature of stories, that they end. I should have the cover soon and my editor expects to have the manuscript back to me soon. Then it'll be time for a cover reveal and ARCs. I suspect December will be its own brand of insanity, between this, personal stuff and Christmas.
I swear, the older I get, the less time I have to stop and relax. Yet life is easily as sweet as it's ever been, more even. I'll take it and smile.
Anyway, that's the update on me. I hope to post more regularly than I did in November as we go through December, but we'll have to see how that goes. I hope everyone's well. I miss you guys.

Anyway, they made Stockwatch today. Here's the link, here's the full text:
Eight Capital men look to identify on-line detractor2017-06-19 10:33 ET - Street Wireby Mike CaswellToronto businessmen Mark Attanasio and Donato Sferra have filed a case in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in which they are looking to identify a Stockhouse forum poster who called them slimy and crooked. They say that the user's post was false, malicious and entirely defamatory. They are asking that the court order Stockhouse to hand over identifying information.The case is contained in a petition that Mr. Attanasio and Mr. Sferra filed at the Vancouver courthouse on June 13, 2017. The two men identify themselves as the operators of Eight Capital Partners, a broker-dealer that was formerly known as Dundee Capital Partners. They are seeking the identity of a Stockhouse user named "MadeIn86." According to the petition, that user was behind a single defamatory post that appeared in the Stockhouse forum on June 5, 2017. It was under the section for CBW, which is the symbol for Cannabis Wheaton Corp.The post, as described in the petition, accused Mr. Attanasio of achieving business success through theft and "back room dealing." It said that he impregnated his former boss and received a promotion as a result. The post called him "one of Bay Streets worst." As for Mr. Sferra, the post said that he gained his position at Dundee's predecessor by having sex with the head of human resources. The post also accused Mr. Sferra of causing a "deep dive catastrophe" at Dundee's predecessor and of causing many valuable employees to depart.Included with the petition is the full text of the post that the men are complaining of. The post is titled "The Criminal Chuck Got in Bed With" (with "Chuck" presumably being Cannabis Wheaton chief executive officer Chuck Rifici). The post began with Mr. Attanasio, accusing him of "banging his boss at National Bank as a young trader" and of improprieties related to an organic food company called Blue Goose Corp. He and the company's president "connived to purchase land properties and assets at ridiculously inflated prices they owned secretly ... even though the land and assets were of no use to Blue Goose Corp.," the post read."When the scheme was about to be blown wide open Mark Attanasio decided to 'blow the whistle' as an informant to save his skin. Ned Goodman, the owner of Blue Goose Pure Foods decided to offer Mark Attanasio a position in Dundee Corporation keeping him safe as a whistle-blower, and offer him a chance to fix the mess," it continued.The post, as quoted in the petition, also referred to Mr. Sferra at some length. "One word describes this guy very well. 'Slimy'. I'm talking back of the KFC deep fryer Slimy. All you need to know now is he drew up a clever strategy to slither his way from the Sales desk of Dundee Securities to the Mining Investment Banking Team while banging the head of HR Naomi Ruby whose husband found out about the affair and divorced her recently," the post read.The post then went on to explain how Mr. Sferra "caused so much havoc" that many of Dundee's best employees left and set up a competing firm, Maxit Capital. "Bright minds like Bob Sangha, Brad Ralph and upcoming young wiz's like Mike Spencer and Stanley lu started Maxit and quadrupled their deals and earnings in less that a year of opening shop while Dundee Securities went for a deep dive catastrophe," it stated."Anyone who was at a mid-senior level can verify this details I just disclosed. It would take a couple of thick books to write up the craziness at Dundee that spawned such a collection of slimy, crooked dealing characters that exist today," the post read.Mr. Attanasio and Mr. Sferra claim that the post has caused serious injury to their business and personal reputations. They say that they have sought assistance from Stockhouse to identify the author, but Stockhouse will not release any identifying information without a court order. For that reason, they are asking that the court enter an order directing Stockhouse to release all such information, with that information to include any IP addresses associated with the user's account.Vancouver lawyer Robert Deane of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP filed the petition on behalf of Mr. Attanasio and Mr. Sferra. The case has yet to go before a judge.

|Left: spiral ring, lay-flat edition; Right: limited edition hard bound
With the spiraling price of gasoline, this spring and summer will find more of us looking for places to go and see that are closer to home. That, plus the on-going Kansas Sesquicentennial celebration, made for perfect timing the recent release of the 8 wonders of Kansas! Guidebook.
I give this book two hearty thumbs up, and not only will use it
extensively in my future travels, but have picked it up
from time to time just to enjoy the photos and stories.
Over the last couple of years, thousands of Kansans and fans of the Sunflower State have participated in elections sponsored by the Kansas Sampler Foundation* to select first the Original 8 Wonders of Kansas, then the 8 Wonders of Kansas Architecture, Art, Commerce, Cuisine, Customs, Geography, History, and People. All finalists from each category are represented in the guidebook, with special emphasis on the winning entries.
The organization and layout of the 8 wonders of Kansas! Guidebook are first rate, resulting in a very readable, easy-to-use book. The text is written by "Kansas' Number One Cheerleader," Marci Penner, who has the gift of writing engaging, succinct commentary. And who better to provide the photo illustrations than Harland Schuster, a farmer/stockman from Morrill, Kansas, an accomplished photographer who knows Kansas? This book contains over 800 (yes, 800) photos of the 216 entries, many of which provide a unique perspective on the subject at hand.
8 wonders of Kansas! Guidebook is available online from the Kansas Sampler Foundation, and at a number of locally-owned Kansas book stores. My numerous KC metro area readers should be able to find it at Rainy Day Books within a few days of the posting of this blog. It's already available at the Raven Book Shop in Lawrence and several locations in Topeka.
* The Kansas Sampler Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve, sustain, and grow rural culture by educating Kansans about Kansas and by networking and supporting rural communities. It is not to be confused with the Kansas Sampler chain of t-shirt shops.
If you are passing through Abilene this spring or summer, I encourage you to visit the Eisenhower Center, even if you have done so in the past. Between now and September 5, the Eisenhower Library is hosting an exhibit featuring the 8 Wonders of Kansas. I was surprised and impressed at the collection of Kansas artifacts made available to the Kansas Sampler Foundation and the library for this exhibit. The photos below give a brief introduction to the exhibit:
|Helmet and shoes belonging to Amelia Earhart, photo of Carrie Nation behind bars
|Artifacts from the Dragoons at Fort Scott
|Exhibits honor famous black Kansans George Washington Carver (above) and Gordon Parks
|Gemini space suit and helmet from The Cosmosphere, Hutchinson
|Antique horse from C.W. Parker Carousel, Big Jay
Nancy and I timed our exhibit visit to coincide with the kickoff ceremony for the 8 wonders of Kansas! Guidebook, as did quite a few other folks. Many were people associated with the sites featured in the book, some were book store owners eager to pick up their first stock orders, and there were ardent Kansas Explorers like us.

Dabs.com Computing product manager, Michelle Wood said: "The new HP TouchPad Tablet has a stunning backlit screen and IPS wide viewing-angle technology – but it doesn't just look good, it also has an extremely impressive level of functionality, with an intuitive webOS which aims to reflect human nature in carrying out multiple simultaneous activities".
The tablet has a fast processor and is geared towards communication and entertainment, with an integrated webcam and microphone for video calling and similar multimedia options.
Its rechargeable battery allows up to eight hours of web browsing and it can be charged either using the sleek HP Touchstone Charging Dock; or in its case, using an AC charger. The HP TouchPad Case itself is innovative, acting both to protect the device and as a stand for display uses.
