Be sure to visit my friend Jodi to see other great intervention ideas!
A few months ago I created some fun hands on activities for my littles who needed some extra work with short vowel sounds. I used it as an intervention tool, but of course when the other students saw it being used, they wanted a piece of the action too 😉 So it's transformed into center work!
I also have an obsession with games, so I made fun games for my students to play to practice the short vowels.
I also made a little pocket chart center and spin a word centers.
And then what happened!? I don't know!!! I really truly meant to make activities for all 5 vowels before the end of the school year! And I just now finished short i…
So, in an attempt to motivate myself to get them done, I am offering them as a bundle right now!
This bundle currently includes the units I have completed {short a, short e, and short i} and that's all I'm charging for right now! Then, when I finally get with the program and finish the last two units, you can re-download the bundle at no extra charge! Deal?!
Also, some people have purchased the units separately already, so if you are interested in the bundle pack instead, send me an email!
Be sure to visit my friend Jodi to see other great intervention ideas!
Be sure to visit my friend Jodi to see other great intervention ideas!
I also wanted to show you the adorable craft I just finished! I'm kind of in love with it 😉

October 3 – October 27, 2019
Northwind Arts Center, (a 501(c)(3) non profit organization), the peninsula's visual, literary and performance art hub, presents In Residence
Exhibition: In Residence Six Artists from Centrum's Emerging Artist Residency Program Location: Northwind Arts Center October 3-27, 2019 Public opening October 5, 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Since 2014, thirty-six artists from the Northwest have been selected to participate in Centrum's Emerging Artist Residency (EAR) program. This year Northwind Arts Center is partnering with Centrum to host In Residence, an exhibition that welcomes back six artists from the past five years of the program. Artists Alex Boechenstein (2015), Jaleesa M. Johnston (2018), mario lemafa (2017), Morgan Ritter (2014), Cicelia Ross-Gotta (2018), and Zorn B. Taylor (2016) exhibit work that has evolved since their time in the program.
The EAR program was conceived of in response to a regional need to better support visual artists in early stages of their careers. During the month-long residency, artists are able to enrich their practices with a cross-fertilization of cultural and artistic points of view. Since their time at Centrum, many of the artists have significantly deepened their work and gone on to receive amplified recognition and exciting exhibition opportunities.
For this inaugural exhibition, this selected group takes a range of approaches to reflecting on "residence." They bring forward a myriad of works that are born of and merit spending time with questions—sometimes landing on concreteness but often result in ongoing investigations that invite us to be in residence with our bodies, our presence, and our own understandings of what art can be.
The exhibition runs from October 3rd through October 27th.
Opening Reception and Art Walk Saturday, October 5th, from 5:30-8 p.m.
Art Talk with artists Jaleesa M. Johnston and Cicelia Ross-Gotta – September 18th, 7:00 p.m.
Exhibit hours are Wednesday through Monday, 11:30 – 5:30 p.m. Closed Tuesdays.

I Had This Idea For This Mod Since Donkey Kong's Basics 1 And Donkey Kong's Basics Birthday Bash.
Story : "OH NOES! Donkey Kong Has Decided To Celebrate Christmas So He Decorated the Kong House With Christmas Decorations, And Has Invited YOU Once Again To Celebrate Christmas With Him!"
Donkey Kong = Baldi
Diddy Kong = 1st Prize
Dixie Kong = Playtime
Cranky Kong = Principal of the Thing
Kiddy Kong = Arts & Crafters.
King K. Rool = Its A Bully
Chunky Kong = Gotta Sweep
Items Remain The Same Like In Donkey Kong's Basics 1.
(Note : I Know It's Not December Yet But I Felt Like Making This Mod Ready For The Christmas Month December.)
And That Ends The Description.

Stunning silver nickel plated hair pins for long hair with imitation gemstones.
We loved these, so felt we should add them to our website as an added extra to complete your genuine Gemstone purchase.
They come in a variety of different colours, however, we are not putting up each and every one, but rather a general image of what they look like and therefore we will send out whichever is available and in stock at the time of your purchase.
These were all handpicked with much love and care by Penny herself, who wears one each and everyday as they look so beautiful.

Parker and Stone, after some disappointing recent episodes, finally got a little political again. Their newest episode is about the government bailouts. While there are too many funny parts to mention, one part was particularly hysterical. Stan finds out how the Treasury Dept is deciding what action to take for any given potential bailout: they cut the head off of a chicken and let it run around on a chart! Where the headless chicken drops is their response… the boxes on the chart include:
Tax the rich
Bad bank
Indian Casinos
Raise Fed
Cut Education
Go to war
$1 billion
Go to congress
Let Fail
Press conference
Print Money
$90 Trillion
Coup d'etat
I will not give away the ending, but I laughed at the same time that I was pi$$ed off, because it was so true.
Go watch the episode here at Southpark Studios. It is titled Margaritaville.

United Internet, one of Germany's leading ISPs and media companies, began as 1&1 EDV-Marketing in 1988, a company that specialized in marketing for IT services. The company saw its most significant growth with the commercial adoption of the internet in the late 90s. By the year 2003 United Internet had been created as the parent company that today, houses 1&1, GMX.de and Web.de under one roof.
1&1 has over 14 million paying customers, each with their own email account. Web.de has 15 million active accounts and GMX more than 16 million. It's worth noting that each GMX user can register up to 10 individual email accounts. In all, United Internet claims 46 million email users as of 2014, making them one of Europe's largest email providers. United Internet, while a global player with entities like the American portal mail.com, has been very active in marketing its services in Germany, and capitalized on its German roots by launching "Email Made in Germany" in 2013, in response to the Snowden revelations of the US National Security Agency's secret cyber monitoring.
All four email services (Web, GMX, 1&1 and mail.com) operate on the same platform but each service can (and does) apply their own policies for receiving mail into their network. This means that what works well for you, the sender, at GMX may not yield the same results when you send identical campaigns to 1&1 or Web.de.
I spoke with the Postmasters from United Internet and asked them what advice they would give senders who mail to their platform. Here is what they had to say;
List Acquisition and Sign-Up:
They require confirmed opt-in and are very strict about it! Failure will lead to blacklisting of the offending IP and the IP will only be removed if the implementation of this technique has been verified by the Postmaster team manually which is, according to one of the United Internet Postmasters, "very time consuming". For the sender that means that if you're blacklisted for failing to use confirmed opt-in, it could take quite a while before your mails will be delivered again.
What is Spam?
In United Internet's view, spam is any mail that a user doesn't want to receive. In fact, if the user can demonstrate that they continued to receive mail from a sender, even after requesting that the mail stop, GMX reserves the right to block the sender's IP permanently. This is a manual process and the decision is made by the abuse desk team, it's not automatic or based solely on TIS ("this is spam") complaints.
Whitelisting & Feedback Loops
United Internet participates in the Certified Senders Alliance, a program created by the German Direct Marketing Association in cooperation with United Internet. CSA members benefit from the program's German-centric coverage; The CSA whitelist covers half of the German market in terms of total mailboxes reached. As a sender, it's important to keep on top of who doesn't want your mail, not everyone takes the time to unsubscribe so monitoring complaints via a FBL (feedback loop), when available, can be very helpful. United Internet doesn't currently offer this kind of FBL but may in the future.
Reminder Mails:
Send no more than three mails in total, regardless of the time frame.
Connection & Throughput:
The United Internet Postmasters strongly suggest that senders open no more than five, simultaneous connections when sending. They are flexible on throughput so use your discretion and be reasonable. If you are sending too many messages too quickly, expect to receive a 421 throttling message.
Use of Images: There are no policies or special requirements around use of images but mail that lands in the spam folder will have images blocked. If the user moves the mail back to the inbox the images will automatically display. Users can also specify whether or not they want mails that land in the spam folder to display images automatically.
Communicating with the Postmasters:
They strongly suggest that senders read their postmaster pages first:
Regarding senders reaching out to the Postmasters for support United Internet told me; "We need the complete error message provided by our server in case something went wrong during SMTP conversation. We also need the complete header if the mail has accidentally been flagged as spam. Furthermore, we don't necessarily need the content (especially if it contains sensitive information) but it will help us resolving the issue." They also need the IP address of the sending server in every case and say that "providing all of the above will improve response times greatly."
The Perfect Sender:
When asked, "How would you describe the perfect sender?" one Postmaster replied, "We are very RFC compliant and require our senders to obey these rules. Often we have to educate administrators about basic mail server configuration. Check this first before asking us for assistance."
– Obey RFCs
– Use TLS
– Use confirmed opt-in
– Provide click-able and simple opt-outs as well as a List-Unsubscribe header.
– Monitor your reputation
– Keep your address lists up to date
In closing I would like to add the following, I've had the chance to get to know, the staff at United Internet, and they are some of the most responsive, helpful email experts in the European market. They've created some informative postmaster help sites (listed above)for senders so take advantage of them, follow their advice and here's to successful emailing in 2015!

Aptly Named Top Tech Tools to Watch in 2019 by MHN
The Aptly platform is multifamily's first CRM powered by artificial intelligence, which allows property managers to streamline operations between the property and resident on one site. Residents get their own profiles that include information such as their location, lease data, contact information and engagement, allowing managers to fully interact with them on an individual basis. Communities also have profiles that include a full list of residents, staff and building information. Management can be given specific tasks to work on pertaining to lease renewals, maintenance requests, appointments and more, to ensure each need is handled. Alerts can be sent out when the emails are opened or clicked on, as well as being able to read teammate responses in real time to avoid duplicate replies and work orders. The AI technology analyzes incoming messages and suggests categories and automated responses, as well as surveys to generate stronger feedback after closing tasks. It can also covert emails to leads, schedule online tours, visualize the leasing process, and offer personalized follow up messages. Read More

Donate Cavernous Angioma Tissue to the Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank
No one knows why some cavernous angiomas hemorrhage and others do not. No one knows how to stop cavernous angiomas from hemorrhaging in the first place. Researchers are using DNA extracted from blood samples, surgically removed cavernous angioma tissue, and medical and family histories to help answer these questions. They are trying to determine if there are differences between cavernous angiomas, or between the people who have them, that can explain cavernous angioma behavior.
By collecting these materials and distributing them to the research community, the Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank will advance and shorten the search for a non-invasive treatment for cerebral cavernous angiomas, perhaps by years.
Our DNA/Tissue bank was created in 2006. It is housed under contract at PreventionGenetics in Marshfield WI, and our work with patients is overseen by Quorum, an independent ethical review board. We supply tissue to researchers around the world, and it is often the case that tissue from a single surgery can be divided and used by multiple labs, allowing us to make the best use of this precious resource. We screen research projects requesting tissue to make sure their requests are appropriate and will advance the field.
We are recruiting individuals who live in North America with a history of familial cavernous angiomas to participate in the DNA/Tissue Bank and Patient Registry. You and your children with cavernous angiomas are encouraged to enroll if you are willing to request records and participate in the interviews.We need your help if:
Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank personnel will contact you to discuss the tissue bank and answer your questions. You will be asked to sign a consent form for your or your child's participation as well as several release forms for medical records, MRIs, and tissue (usually pathology slides) if you or your child have had a past surgery. We will conduct an interview or ask you to complete an online questionnaire about your family history, activities, and other aspects of your life.
A blood donation kit will be sent in the mail for you to take to your doctor, clinic, or blood draw center to have your or your child's blood drawn. The kit is then mailed to a private lab where the sample is processed. If your surgery was/is at the Barrow Neurological Institute, you will skip this step.If surgery is scheduled, the Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank will work with you, the surgeon, and the hospital to coordinate cavernous angioma tissue donation. You will need to let your surgeon know that you would like to donate your or your child's cavernous angioma to the Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank.The Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank will follow up with you on a yearly basis to update your medical information.
If you or your child has not already had genetic testing, we will test your DNA sample for a possible CCM1, CCM2, or CCM3 mutation or CCM2 exon 2-10 deletion. If additional causative genes are identified for the illness, we will also test for mutations on these. Because the testing is done for research rather than diagnostic purposes, we can not inform you of the specific results of the testing, but we will let you know if a mutation or deletion is found. This will enable you to obtain follow-up confirmatory clinical diagnostic testing through our free genetic testing program or through your doctor if you prefer. This will mean substantial cost savings to you.
Names are removed from any samples or information that goes to researchers; only Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank staff will have access to your identifying information. Your anonymous samples will be available only to researchers whose projects have been approved by the Angioma Alliance DNA/Tissue Bank Scientific Advisory Committee. You can revoke your consent at any time and your samples and data will be recalled and destroyed.
To begin the enrollment process, please complete the form below:

Honey, I Found Japanese Knotweed
19th September 2018
We know what you are all thinking, 'Japanese Knotweed' what is it and how do I identify it? Japanese Knotweed is a tall plant which has accelerated growth speed. It can grow approximately 3 metres in height throughout early Spring until Autumn and will eventually begin to die in the Winter and will then regrow accordingly. Despite this, if the plant is not removed it can continue to grow for years and cause structural damage to your property by growing in between materials including tarmac, brick and even concrete.
According to the Royal Horticultural society (RHS), the plant can be identified by a number of factors:
- Reddish- purple shoots which emerge from pink buds;
- Green heart-shaped leaves;
- Creamy-white flowers which are produced around Summer/early Autumn;
- Bamboo-like stems;
There are ways to remove the plant and avoid it spreading on to other properties. There are certain methods you can undertake to help remove the plant yourself such as digging the plant out or using specific chemical sprays. However, we would recommend that you contact a professional specialist on Japanese Knotweed to help eradicate the problem.
If you are a purchaser and looking to buy a property which has been identified to have Japanese Knotweed at or around the property, this may affect the marketability and valuation of the property. If you are taking out a mortgage, this may also affect the lenders valuation and impact on the assessment to lend you money. However, there are ways to overcome this and some lenders will just need to see that there is an achievable management plan to help reduce and remove the plant.
In view of the above, it is very important when selling or buying a property to ensure you keep a look out for the signs of Japanese Knotweed. If you are unsure, you can instruct a specialist to help identify the existence of the plant. In any event, if the plant is identified we would recommend that you act fast and start treatment as soon as possible. If you are buying, it is important that you discuss this with your instructed solicitor so that they can raise the necessary enquiries with the sellers' solicitor.

Hacker Cracker
by Ejovi Nuwere and David Chanoff
Harper Collins
By age 21, Nuwere had grown from a precocious child in Brooklyn's embattled Bedford -Stuyvesant neighborhood to a well-established Internet security specialist for a major investment bank.
In between, he served a long stint as a renegade though ultimately benign hacker, an experience that gave him much-needed background for his professional career.
Written with Chanoff, his memoir is an appealing primer to hacker culture matched with the personal story of being raised by an extended family (due to Nuwere's mother's death from AIDS) in an impoverished environment.
Nuwere's adventures in the computing underworld primarily include phishing, or conning Internet users into divulging credit card information; making free phone calls using stolen 800 numbers; and exploring the computer systems of major corporations in order to better understand their intricacies.
Unfortunately, much of the drama is mitigated by the blacking out of the name of the company most seriously hacked by Nuwere, as well as the name of the project in development that he was busted for entering ("We kept going deeper and deeper into [blacked out] until we reached the computers that actually controlled the [blacked out] that was all over the news").
This continues for some pages, making it difficult for readers to maintain interest in this pivotal episode. Superfluous details about Nuwere's high school experiences and martial arts tournaments are not well integrated with the more compelling hacker narrative. Nonetheless, this is an empathetic, revealing account of a new breed of insurgents.
At the end of the book, Ejovi was working for a major Financial institute out of the Jersey City office. On September 11 (2001), Ejovi was in Manhattan still on his way to work, when the towers fell. The next day when he went to the Jersey City office, the employees had to spend several days hurriedly putting togteher a network of computers and hooking them up to the company intranet and databases. This had to be done because many of the company's networks and databases were lost when the towers fell. He worked for Lehman Brothers. (see below)
One of the hacking groups that Ejovi joined while he was in high school was called
Ejovi attended the High School for Graphic Arts in Manhattan.
The first job Ejovi got out of high school was with TGIX - aka Thaumaturgix. He was at this company for two and a half years.
Video Interview by Ejovi Nuwere
Ejovi's blog - but he does not post too often.
Ejovie now runs his own company - Security Labs. On the website it mentions that he used to work for Lehman brothers out of Jersey City. Lehman Brother's equities e-commerce office, was located on the 40th Floor in One World Trade Center.

Get Firebug
For those of you who are web developers there is a great extension for Firefox that has just recently come out. I've used it for about a week, and I am in love with it ... not as much as I love my wife though. It is the greatest thing for web developers since Jolt. By the way you may want to check out their site, since it has some information about the plug in that you may not realize just playing around with it at first ... there are lots of features. Go get it and try it for yourself.

She's still got life in her
The other day our car officially hit 200,000 miles. We've been counting this down for a while, so when we saw that the time had come we had our camera handy. We've driven a lot in this car since we got married. We've made multiple trips to Spokane, countless trips to Albany, a trip to North Dakota, a trip to Orcas Island (via ferry ... the car doesn't go well under water), and a trip to Disneyland. When Melissa got the car three and a half years ago it had 130,000 miles on it. So, we've put 70,000 on it in that time. It's our only car so it has seen a lot of use, especially commuting to and from work each day. Now, that we've moved to campus though I think she'll see a lot less driving. Still, with all those miles on her she's still running well and I'd say she has another 200,000 in her (knocking on wood).

text: Consider System Matching in Your Next Air Conditioner Replacement Posted April 13, 2015 To keep your home comfortable in the warmest months, you rely on your air conditioner. When it's time for an air conditioner replacement, call the experienced professionals at Central Heating & Plumbing to ensure your system is designed appropriately, and correctly matched size-wise with equipment that is engineered to work together well. System matching is notably important if you are only replacing one piece of a system so you're able to make sure any new component works hand-in-hand with the rest. While air conditioner replacement isn't always seen as fun, it can let you take your home comfort to the next level. A Match Made in HVAC Heaven Central Heating & Plumbing offers Lennox® air conditioners and heat pumps that are engineered to work hand-in-hand with a correctly matched indoor unit. A properly matched system will help you with efficiency when paired with an indoor furnace/evaporator coil or air handler. This means you'll get peak comfort. It's important to ensure your dealer considers size with system matching. Any HVAC system can only function at its best when it is sized properly to meet the unique needs of your home. Considering Size You may believe that when it comes to the size of your air conditioner replacement, you only need to consider whether it's too small to cool your entire home. In reality, an air conditioner that is too large for your home cycles on and off frequently. This constant cycling makes it nearly impossible to dehumidify the air, leaving your home overly humid. Undersized air conditioner replacements have a different problem. They have to run continuously in an effort to cool your home and may not be able to get the job done on some of the hottest summer days. You could end up paying more money for your monthly power bills, and your system will likely not last as long as an appropriately sized one. So, how can you find the perfectly sized system for your home? That's easy. Leave it to the experts at Central Heating & Plumbing in New Castle. We'll visit your home to perform a load calculation that considers the square footage of your house, how well your windows are insulated, the amount of insulation in your walls and roof as well as many other factors. When the time arrives for an air conditioner replacement, be sure to think about system matching so you can find the best match for your home. Give Central Heating & Plumbing a call at 724-401-1843 to schedule an appointment. Back To Blog

Jang Jae Yul (Jo In Sung) is a popular mystery writer and radio DJ. Ji Hae Soo (Gong Hyo Jin) is a psychiatrist at a University Hospital. The two first meet through a TV debate program but their relationship sets off on the wrong foot. As they grow to like each other, they discover they must overcome various obstacles like their neuroses, anxiety and mental issues.
I would say that this drama is a difficult one to describe off the bat. I can't really do a proper review without disclosing some spoilers but there are a lot of layers to uncover here. Yes, the drama deals with mental issues; and yes, the drama takes liberties with psychiatry and its treatment but there's more than meets the eye for this drama.
Twin Forks(트윈 폭스) – Cross My Mind
Twin Forks(트윈 폭스) – Cross My Mind
I found that people either really love the drama or really hate it. It's no secret that I'm in the former camp but I didn't even know what to expect of the drama upon watching the first episode. I mean, the drama opens with a scene at prison for the criminally insane. However, what I love about the drama is that it drops all the nuggets for the viewer that doesn't hold as much meaning at first but is essential to who these characters are.
The thing that I really love about the romance is that it feels like a relatable, modern romance. There are no chaebols. There is no makeover for the heroine. It's not overly gimmicky. The way these two people meet and fall in love feels natural.
Also, I love the kissing in the drama. I know that sounds like an obvious remark but I love how the kiss isn't treated with such big fanfare that we get over and over again in other dramas. I don't dislike the big fanfare but in this way it feels more organic. Each kiss has a different meaning behind it bringing a better understanding of who Jae Yul and Hae Soo are as people and how they begin to move forward together as a couple.
tYoon Mirae – 너를 사랑해 (I'm in Love With You)
Gong Hyo Jin has a played a wide range of characters over the years. I like that as Hae Soo she comes across as very confident and strong with the exception of one issue. In the scene when she finds out about Jae Yul's mental illness, she doesn't overact the scene with overwhelming emotion. At first, she tries to logically disprove it. As for Jo In Sung, he's certainly great at playing a scene with great emotion even if he's all alone. Because their characters are not generally the emotional type, they have to use other attributes to get the emotional point across. So when they do shed tears on screen, it's that much more meaningful.
For D.O's first real role in a drama, I think he did incredibly well as Han Kang Woo. The surprising thing is that we get a twist with his character so early in the drama. All the signs are there for those who know what to look for but I'm glad I didn't research the drama the way I do with others before the big reveal, as it had such an impact on me.
[SPOILER ALERT] When you discover that Kang Woo is a figment of Jae Yul's imagination, it brings their relationship into a new light. He's a representation of Jae Yul's childhood and chance for him to have a do-over for the abuse he endured. However my favorite scene had to be when Jae Yul is ready to say goodbye to Kang Woo through the act of washing his feet. They say that when you gift someone a pair of shoes they will run away. However it's a way for Jae Yul to show a last bit of kindness to his teenaged self before they both move on from the nightmare.
Hey – And I Need You Most
As for Sung Dong Il and Lee Kwang Soo, they both great at bringing out their quirky, comedic style to Jo Dong Min and Park Soo Kwang, respectively. But more than that I like how they're the logical barometer for Jae Yul and Hae Soo. When Dong Min discovers that Jae Yul is ill, he calmly assesses the situation, does his research and notifies Hae Soo and Jae Yul's mother only when he's sure about the diagnosis.
Even Soo Kwang pitches in by watching over Jae Yul so that he doesn't end up hurting himself or others when the knowledge of Jae Yul's condition becomes known. I love the scene with the puzzle pieces as a representation of life. Life can get messy but you just have to work out a way to put yourself together again. And really, that's the overall message of the drama. How do you learn how to move on? It's often easier said than done.
The cinematography is quite beautiful, painting like a music video, but I love that it doesn't go for a darker palette considering the nature of the plot. Ultimately, the message is about hanging on to hope.
Whether you're hiding out Slumdog Millionaire style in an outhouse; or if watching your mother have an affair causes you to have anxiety about having physical relations with your boyfriend; or if you're treating a patient who might harm herself and the life of her baby; or if you're dealing with the emotional shame after having a sex change operation, it's about finding that thing that'll help pick yourself up. In the case of Jae Yul and Hae Soo, they found each other and through patience and understanding they slowly figured out a way to make it work.
Jung Yong Kook, Choi Jae Woo – Green Grass
I also love all the music on the show from the K-Pop tracks to the Pop songs to the instrumental tracks. It certainly varied in style from ballads to lounge music to club music to even Orange Caramel. I can't say that I'm big fan of Orange Caramel but the song worked so well for the drama again reinforcing the quirky mood of the drama and reflecting Park Soo Kwang and Oh So Nyeo's (Lee Sung Kyung) relationship.
There are a lot beautiful nuggets of logic, wisdom and heart to find in this drama wrapped up in this message about hope. The drama hits all the right notes for me throughout but I think that internal dialogue about mental health takes on a different meaning for each viewer. That's something that the viewers are going to have discover for themselves. Sure, there are moments when the plot gets a little contrived but even the awkward scene that's thrown in due to Gong Hyo Jin injuring her arm doesn't cause a huge dent in the overall meaning of the story. Each episode had progresses either the plot or character development that before you know it you're at the end of the drama. I wish I could feel this way about every drama.

Peter Truesdale says that multinationals from Europe and North America have much to learn from their new counterparts in the developing world.
What can the West learn from the rest? Jim O'Neill started me thinking. Not an entire surprise since he was for many years Chief Economist of Goldman Sachs.
As part of his BBC radio programmes on the MINT economies (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey), he asserted that developed economies might have something to learn from how the MINT economies were organised. Just fancy that.
In fact Mr O'Neill's throw-away remark poses a potent challenge to multinational companies (MNCs).
A colonial model
The debate about MNCs in Europe (and to a lesser extent in North America) is built on what is best characterised as a nineteenth century colonial model. Supporters and critics of MNCs draw different conclusions from the model, but they share a common narrative. The traffic is conceived of as being all one way.
From capital-rich Europe and North America the companies set out to invest in/ravish the resources of less economically developed parts of the world. The result is modernisation and economic prosperity/destruction of indigenous cultures and environmental loss.
Like a ritual family disagreement, it is all very comforting. Like most family disagreements, it isn't based on the facts. It is not adding value. In fact, it is stopping an important question from being asked.
Modern reality
While proponents and critics of MNCs have been locked in shadow-boxing 'debate' the world has changed: capital flows are not one way. Today I did some work for the Singaporean MNC that supplies water to Bournemouth, the genteel resort on England's south coast. This morning I was transfixed by an article entitled London skyline gets a £1.2bn Chinese fortune.
Traffic is two-way. The colonial model is old hat.
The trouble is, few people recognise this. Here's a suggestion to challenge these perceptions.
An MNC two-way day
Every issue now has its own 'day'. So let's have a Two-way Trade Day.
Here's what should happen.
All developed-economy based MNCs should communicate solely about what they have learnt from their operations in developing markets. How have these been applied and used in the developed markets?
No articles about agricultural investment Vietnam. No press releases about the improvement in working conditions in the Dhaka factory.
What insight has been obtained, what lessons learned from operating in developing economies? How (if at all) have they been deployed in the long-industrialised West?
Developing economy-based MNCs must contribute too.
What (apart from an injection of capital) are these developing economies MNCs bringing to developed economies? What is the advantage brought by having a Singaporean company supplying your water? Does Chinese property investment bring with it insight, skill, discipline or good practice that can't be got from Land Securities or the Grosvenor Estates?
Who knows what the answers to these questions will be?
I doubt anybody knows, so rarely has the question been asked.
So roll on Two-way Trade Day. It probably won't be as colourful (or as embarrassing) as Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day. It certainly ought to be more informative.
Peter Truesdale is an Associate Director at Corporate Citizenship.

The Eastern Cape is a coastal province in South Africa which includes the wonderful and unique cities of Port Elizabeth and East London, which are relatively small in comparison to the likes of the captivating Cape Town and jaunty Johannesburg. What makes the Eastern Cape safaris even more appealing is that it is a malaria-free region.
The Eastern Cape's most celebrated attraction is the Addo Elephant National Park. Situated just 30 minutes outside of Port Elizabeth, this large park was started in 1931 to fight the dwindling number of elephants, and has taken that number from just 11 elephants to over 350.
Seeing these magnificently gentle giants up close is the experience of a lifetime, especially if you are lucky enough to catch the herd together at the watering hole.
There are different ways to go about your safari here at Addo. There is the classic game drive safari, the self-drive safari, and also a horseback safari trail. For those doing more than just a day trip, there are camps, cottages, and luxury lodges.
Other Eastern Cape safari options, game reserves, and lodges widen the scope of the wild animals to look out for. Some, like Pumba Private Game Reserve, even have the rare white lion. Others, like Samara Private Game Lodge, have more cheetahs.
Shamwari Game Reserve takes pride in its responsible tourism and conservation. An example of this is its wildlife rehabilitation centre, where a professional veterinary team cares for the animals in need before releasing them back into their natural habitat.
This malaria-free province allows for an easy-to-plan getaway that is good for nature-lovers, adventure-seekers, holiday-makers, families, couples, and everyone in between. What is guaranteed at an Eastern Cape safari is an escape from reality out in the bushes, be that up close and on the ground or from the comforts of a luxury lodge.
Whether you're looking for luxury sojourn or a laid-back holiday with affordable accommodation, we can make it happen!
Once we have all your information and understand the vision for your holiday, we'll start planning your trip.
With all your plans in place, all you need to do is pack your bags, hop on a plane and travel over land and sea to your destination of choice!

What is money laundering?
Money laundering can be defined as the process to move illegally acquired cash through financial systems so that it appears to be from a legitimate source.
There are two secondary offences: failure to disclose money laundering, and "tipping off", whereby somebody informs a person or persons who are, or who are suspected of being involved in money laundering, in such a way as to reduce the likelihood of their being investigated or prejudicing an investigation.
Any member of staff could potentially be caught by the money laundering provisions if they suspect money laundering and either become involved with it in some way, and/or do nothing about it. Our policies and procedures set out how any concerns should be raised.
It is important that all employees are familiar with their responsibilities as serious criminal sanctions may be imposed for breaches of the legislation. The key requirement of employees is to promptly report any suspected money laundering activity to the Money Laundering Reporting Officer.

Cracks Could Put Your Alloy Wheel
Your security is essential. Don't endanger it by blowing off fractures on the wheel. Contact some expert supplier of car alloy wheel repairs to check to see if the wheel can be repaired or needs replacement. That is why to get skilled alloy wheels repairs done, investigating alternatives is crucial.
Fixing a wheel is not necessarily the top option in some specific scenarios that are special. Before alloy wheel repairs are decided upon the wheel needs to be thoroughly examined. Cracks would be the most common type of damage that can leave a wheel. When a wheel bends near the bottom of a spoke, haze marks seen in the finish usually indicate cracks. A wheel can be considered to be irreparable if cracks appear near the base of a talked or near the lug region. The damage is usually salvageable if you have a small crack on the inner lip of the wheel away from the spokes.
Before commencing auto alloy wheel repairs a comprehensive review of the wheel is demanded. Any side to side wobble would be corrected by straightening up the wheel and half the damage is normally undone by that. The chrome might have to be removed if there is a chrome wheel turned severely, because there may be cracks underneath the chrome. A review will search out scratches, scuffs and finish flaws and even inferior paint finish.
You wish to keep any initial cast markings that the manufacturer has exhibited when you get alloy wheel repairs wheel lathe machine done. Then ensure that the medium used to strip the wheel which needs refinishing does not rough and tear away several of the metal. Utilizing an acrylic medium just like sand is more desirable, though steel chance or metal oxide are more commonly used. You don't want to damage the face of the metal, although the former may be quicker and cheaper. The machinist would understand if the wheel must be re-machined or repainted or just re- polished for it to look as good as new.

COWARDS: NFL now freezing new policy FORBIDDING Anthem protests
(National Sentinel) Self-Destruct: Last season the NFL shed millions of viewers and lost out on tens of millions of dollars in merchandise sales because league officials refused to end player protests of the National Anthem.
In the off-season, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the majority of team owners came to an agreement on a new policy that forbade players from using sideline antics as a form of political protest during games.
But now, all that's on hold, thanks to the same kind of weak-spined management that allowed protests to continue throughout last season.
As Breitbart News reports:
The NFL and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) released a joint statement on Thursday night, vowing to put a hold on the new league rule requiring players on the field to stand for the playing of the national anthem.
The shocking development comes only hours after news leaked that the Miami Dolphins had added a category called "Proper Anthem Conduct," to their player disciplinary document. The apparent reversal also comes only one week after the NFLPA filed a grievance against the league, in which the union sought a "system arbitration" to prevent the league from giving individual teams from requiring players to stand for the anthem, or disciplining them for refusing to do so.
The statement claims that both the league and the players union are talking and working on a resolution.
The NFL and NFLPA statement says, in part: "The NFL and NFLPA reflect the great values of America, which are repeatedly demonstrated by the many players doing extraordinary work in communities across our country to promote equality, fairness and justice."
We're not sure which group contains the most idiots — the owners and NFL management or the players themselves, both of whom seem hell-bent on destroying the very league that provides them with a fabulous living.
Perhaps both are just as ignorant — and tone-deaf.
Most fans don't give a whip about "equality, fairness, and justice" when they tune in to watch football…played by multi-millionaires. They. Just. Want. To. See. A. Game.
But they also aren't down with having the American flag and our country disrespected over a myth: That all police are racists who target black men inappropriately.
That just doesn't happen on a wide scale.
Even with the policy change, it was going to take years for the league to woo back some fans that it lost.
Now, because of its abject cowardice, it's lost them forever.
Stupidity on steroids.

Eaton advanced electrohydraulic system increases automation and control on Wastech refuse trucks
"The new Eaton F(x) system has allowed us to take the next step in the evolution of our front-lift truck with confidence and reassurance that our trucks can work efficiently and reliably in the most remote areas of Australia. The improved feel of the joystick and the new screen have operators convinced that this is the best front-lift truck they have ever driven."
Neil Bone
Wastech Managing Director
With the help of Eaton components, Australian-made refuse trucks are setting new standards in automation and control.
Model EVO31 trucks made by Wastech Engineering P/L of Hallam, Victoria, have almost effortless frontlift functionality by way of a complete Eaton F(x) advanced electrohydraulic system, featuring an Eaton EFX electronic controller, VFX display screen and JFX joystick; Vickers® screwin cartridge valves; and Aeroquip® hose and fittings.
For nearly two years, Wastech relied on Eaton components, integrated with a competitive controller and screen, for hydraulic system circuitry on its EVO31 trucks. All went well until the trucks began to experience electrical instability. Wastech turned to the Eaton competitor—and Eaton— for answers.
"Wastech needed a controller that could manage the main directional control valve, without unwanted cylinder movements caused by a drop in voltage," said Mark Newson, Eaton sales engineer.
"We soon realized that the problem stemmed from the limitations of the competitive controller that was designed for an industrial platform, not a mobile platform like the Eaton EFX controller. The industrial controller simply could not handle the fluctuating voltages of a commercial vehicle."
Newson presented the Eaton EFX controller as a perfect fit for the application, but met reluctance head-on due to the newness of the product in the Australian market. Meanwhile, the competitor was also working hard to provide a solution—and for good reason. Both the competitor and Wastech were fully aware that staying with the existing controller had a big advantage: no change in software would be needed, which would be a big cost-savings.
"Switching to the Eaton controller, which was not compatible with the current software, meant that a new program would need to be developed from start to finish," Newson said. "Since this would be a costly endeavor, we knew we needed to work even harder to instill customer confidence in the Eaton controller."
Putting even more pressure on Eaton was the fact that the competitive controller had features that were not yet offered on the Eaton VFX screen. It offered a picture-inpicture function that displayed a camera feed with standard touch-screen functionality at the same time. The controller also offered four direct camera feeds.
During several meetings with Wastech personnel, Eaton's Hydraulics Group in Tullamarine, Victoria, presented the features and strengths of the complete Eaton F(x) system versus the weaknesses of an industrial platform adapted to run on a mobile platform.
The first order of business was to point out that the F(x) solution utilizes a Controller Area Network (CAN) joystick that is especially applicable to commercial vehicle applications in a far simpler design and provides a "fail safe" operation inert to voltage fluctuations. Placing the joystick on the CAN would immediately solve many of the issues caused by the current analog ratio-metric joystick and reading the information via a 0-10v input.
"We emphasized that by reading the J1939 CAN information from the truck engine's electronic control unit, the EFX system would generate important data about the truck's operation and thereby enable the operator to respond as needed," Newson said. "For instance, the system would enable the operator to control engine rpm under a certain set of conditions."
The Eaton team then demonstrated the system's VFX 100m 10.4-inch touchscreen control panel that provides:
- Intuitive, touch-based control for load, unload and auto packing sequence features
- Instant access to the status of critical machine parameters
- Password-protected control over key settings and safety interlocks to allow owners to customize machine performance to fleet requirements
- Operator usage history for diagnostic, training and maintenance purposes
Very impressed with what they saw, Wastech engineers questioned if the system could be configured in such a way that it would offer the same features as picture-in-picture, with camera feeds whenever required without losing screen functionality.
The request brought the opportunity for Eaton's local electrohydraulic experts to demonstrate their skills in working alongside customer engineers to meet specific application needs for the lifetime of Eaton products. Their work resulted in the complete camera functionality requested.
Following side-by-side comparison of the two controller systems, Wastech made the decision to standardize the Eaton system because it provided a total system solution and a very stable vehicle platform.
"With total control of the truck's hydraulic and electrohydraulic systems, Eaton components have helped Wastech offer a much smoother operating truck," Newson said.
And Wastech agrees.
"The new Eaton EFX system has allowed us to take the next step in the evolution of our frontlift truck with confidence and reassurance that our trucks can work efficiently and reliably in the most remote areas of Australia," said Wastech's Neil Bone, managing director.
"The improved feel of the joystick and the new screen have operators convinced that this is the best front-lift truck they have ever driven."

On the night of 31 August, 1997, something terrible certainly happened: Princess Diana was killed in a fatal car crash in Paris, and the effects would be felt around the world.
For some people, what happened that night wasn't simply a tragic accident. Instead, it was the result of some kind of conspiracy, conducted secretly by agents of the British state or something else, they claim.
Numerous reports, investigations and experts have all agreed with the official account of events: that Diana had been in a car driven by a man who was drunk, and that failing as well as other institutional ones allowed for the tragedy to happen.
But others still believe that something more secretive and intentional happened that night. The conspiracy theories take a number of other forms, but all claim to point to the same fundamental belief: that someone wanted to kill Diana, and they helped orchestrate that night's fatal crash.
Those conspiracies were so convincing and so widespread – helped by the Daily Express and Egyptian businessman Mohamed al-Fayed – that the Met Police were forced to launch Operation Paget, an inquiry to establish whether there was any truth in the theories. It lasted years, cost millions of pounds – and found that the theories were entirely without foundation, and that all that happened that night was an incredibly unfortunate accident.
The report examined 175 theories about what happened that night, some of them small and some of them profound. It found that none of them were true,
Still, however, those conspiracies rage. Here are ten of the things that makes people doubt the official story of events – as well as the truth about each of the claims.

Sarcopenia (the age-related decline in muscle mass and function) and osteoporosis-related fractures both become common with advancing age and may have devastating consequences on quality and quantity of life for older adults. Fragility fracture risk increases dramatically with advancing age, despite bone mineral density not having a corresponding decline; as such, much recent interest has appropriately focused on the contribution of sarcopenia to falls and fractures. Indeed, as sarcopenia and osteoporosis share many common pathophysiologic features, some have suggested that osteoporosis and sarcopenia are the same disease in muscle and bone respectively. Despite this similarity, most interventions to date target these conditions separately. Moreover, it is possible/likely the combination of sarcopenia, osteoporosis and obesity comprise a syndrome that further increases fracture risk. This webinar will review the current state of knowledge about sarcopenia and osteoporosis and will consider clinical approach jointly considering these conditions with the goal of reducing falls, injury and fracture risk.

Twins claim reliever Ramirez off waivers

ANAHEIM -- It's been hard for Twins reliever Neil Ramirez to find a place he can call home lately.
Yet it was at his childhood home of Virginia Beach, Va. where the right-hander received a call from Twins general manager Terry Ryan on Sunday.
He had been claimed off waivers by Minnesota, his third big league team within the last month. The Cubs, who Ramirez broke into the Majors with in 2014, designated him for assignment on May 21. After claiming him off waivers, the Brewers gave him the same treatment on June 8.
Now, Ramirez is looking to stick with yet another ball club.
"It's been a whirlwind these last couple weeks, but I'm just trying to make the most of this opportunity here," he said.
Ramirez, 27, posted a 5.79 ERA in 10 appearances in the Majors this season with the Cubs and Brewers. In 79 career appearances, he has a 2.42 ERA and three saves. Despite his movement, Ramirez said he's "not that far" from being a productive reliever in the Majors.
"You just have got to remain focused and just trust the process," he said. "I feel like the work I've put in has got me ready, and I just want to remember that and be confident and trust in my ability."
Twins manager Paul Molitor said he's had interest in Ramirez since the Cubs designated him for assignment. While Ramirez's specific role has yet to be decided, Molitor said a fresh arm will definitely help out a tired Twins bullpen that has thrown the second-most innings in the American League (216 1/3).
"The only thing that's held [Ramirez] back has been command issues throughout his career," Molitor said. "His walk-strikeout ratio has been good in the Minor Leagues and the Major Leagues. His velocity is down a little bit on his fastball, but the slider is still really effective against righties and lefties. I'm just going to try to blend him in."
Worth noting
• Molitor said shortstop Danny Santana would begin a Minor League rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Monday. Santana has not played since injuring his left hamstring on May 30 against Oakland.
• Twins closer Glen Perkins will receive a second opinion on his left shoulder on Tuesday in California before flying back to Minnesota. Perkins has not pitched in the big leagues since April 10, leaving much of the closer duties to Kevin Jepsen.
• Molitor said third baseman Miguel Sano has had "gradually small increments of improvement" on his strained left hamstring, but is still not close to beginning a rehab assignment. He has not played since May 31.
