From FOC Member Rev. Everett Mendoza
REASON – The Marigza-led forces and the Pagmata-supported FOC are in a collision course. But the forthcoming GA won't be the real showdown. Marigza, et. al. will have their way all the way down. A storm never experienced by the UCCP will take place AFTER the GA. On the one hand, while the Marigza administration has planned to make the Assembly but a celebration of its success and a coronation of a leadership that will insure the completion of what it has started, it is acting like Jesus' parable of grown-ups playing on the streets like children totally unaware of signs in the clouds that portend a gathering storm. On the other hand, the opposition among UCCP members consider the GA as a calm before the storm and have prepared themselves for eventualities when it finally comes.
The NCDCR has read the situation rightly and proposed the mediation mode of resolving the conflict so as to avert an impending catastrophe. The mediation team didn't miss the consequences of what was deemed inevitable and suggested a temporary exit: that the GA suspend approval of NC actions that first started the controversy, namely, property development projects, particularly the Gaisano and Vista Land and bring the issue to the table of mediation. Other related issues that arose later may be taken as supplementary matters in the course of the process.
Should the national leadership ignore the mediators' suggestion, it will certainly accomplish its objectives for the Assembly, but it will be a pyrrhic victory. They will have their corporate property, but they will lose a united church. The thought that after the GA everything will go back to normal is pure wishful thinking. There won't be any vindication for anyone, while the wound inflicted upon the Church will continue to fester for years to come.
FAITH – The FOC avers that from the perspective of the Christian faith, there is an inherent incompatibility and conflict in the co-existence of excess wealth in the hands of the few on one side, and of abysmal and massive poverty and deprivation of the many on the other. The life, ministry and message of Jesus testify to this social reality. No amount and manner of theological justification can soften the rough edges this biblical truth. Thus, the manner and means of developing church property should not reinforce such a social reality but, on the contrary, must show by concrete example how this disparity may be overcome. This is the proper work and mission of the church, which is opposite the logic of corporate capitalism that now permeates the organizational life of UCCP through the series of amendments to the CBL being considered for approval at the General Assembly. In short, the corporate design to develop UCCP properties is contrary to faith.
LOYALTY – What is at stake goes beyond the corporatization of the UCCP – both of its properties and in its church order. Refashioning the Church into the form of a business corporation is a total disfigurement of its historic identity. The introduction of an ecclesiastical hierarchy and the subordination of local churches to the Conference and the General Assembly are a betrayal of the fundamental principles of the Basis of Union that brought together the various denominations into one organic union – the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. Continuity and sameness to our foundational identity are not only priceless but essential to our very being. The 2018 General Assembly is not just a link that connects us to the past to be followed by the next quadrennial meeting. By approving the actions undertaken by the NEC and the NC, this assembly will be a historic break that will usher UCCP to a new church order wherein economic pragmatism becomes the new supreme value replacing loyalty to its historic legacy.
Sisters and brothers, for love of the Church let's stop this corporate madness. For faith's sake, let's resist the lure of corporate profit to solve our material problems but rather "deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow [Jesus]." Let God's gift of reason pierce through falsehood, enticements and deceit that blind us to the truth. This moment is a historic juncture in the life of UCCP. It won't come again.

A home burglary can happen to anyone, and have damaging effects to your finances and mental state. In addition to home burglaries, there are also fires, carbon monoxide leaks and other accidents that... can occur. So ask yourself if you are prepared. There are plenty of hidden dangers in your home. Did you know? • A home without a home security system are 3X more likely to be burglarized? • In the U.S., a burglary happens every 14.6 seconds. It's important to keep your property and loved ones safe. ADT has the tools to do just that.

Travel back in time to the middle ages with this trip to Monastery of Sant Benet de Bages, located in the picturesque countryside of Bages, in Catalonia. This is an unforgettable day out during your trip to Barcelona.
Sant Benet Monastery Trip
We will meet up at 9:30 am in the center of Barcelona to climb aboard the bus which will take us northeast from the city. After traveling for around an hour, we will arrive in the beautiful region of Bages and encounter the Monastery of Sant Benet.
We will take a guided tour inside the magnificent religious monument, lasting around two hours. You will hear all about the history of the Benedictine monastery, which was built in the year 950 and was all but abandoned following the Black Death until its restoration in the 20th century. You learn about how the Catalans Ramón Casas and Josep Puig i Cadafalch restored the building when you encounter the audiovisual display.
As you explore the different rooms and halls of the monastery, including the Romanesque style cloister and the church, you will experience authentic sounds, smells and images of the past. This virtual simulation helps you get an idea of what life was like here during the Middle Ages.
After having immersed ourselves in more than a thousand years of history of this impressive building, we will then head to La Fonda restaurant. There, you will enjoy a traditional Catalan meal from a selection of local dishes on the menu.
Rested and reenergized, we will return to the bus and make our way back to Barcelona, arriving in the city at around 6 pm.

Aeon 2.0
The experience gained during all these years challenged us towards a new goal. AEON was born after we reached it.
The new REVOLUTION LINE enters a crowded market but it has that extra oomph. AEON – and the next devices included in the REVOLUTION LINE – is based on clear physics concepts and on serious data. We have not made up things and we have left nothing to chance. To establish a new standard, it is necessary to respect the consumer: is the rack that we have created the best available on the market? Probably not but we are well aware of what we are about to introduce.
Maybe what you see is just a small part of what we think. We have always tried to be different from what was on the market.
There are many ways to present a brand, a product or an idea. They may be all right or all wrong, it always depends on the points of view. There is no doubt that our spur has been and still is the desire to explore and stand out.
Our secret was to observe the market and try to improve it by introducing a philosophy and a way of seeing things from a different perspective.
REVOLUTION LINE was born from our desire to demonstrate that we can dream. We have believed in this project from the very beginning, we have been working hard to contain the costs and introduce on the market an innovative rack at an affordable price.
AEON is a reality today and is the result of all the experience gained during these years. The rack we have designed is what we would like to have in our houses, it represents our ideal: simplicity is complexity resolved (Constantin Brâncuși).
A tachygraphic certificate, that comes with every product, guarantees the perfect execution of the autoclave manufacturing process of the endoskeleton (and the shelf). The control of pressure, time and temperature is fundamental to achieve the best results. High temperature and pressure (120 C° and about 6 bars) inside the mould facilitate the hardening of the epossidic resin and the absence of air bubbles in the structure.
This same procedure is required in the aeronautical and automotive sector to certify the coherence of the productive process.
TESTING PROCESS (static structural analysis)
To design a rack it is necessary to evaluate, first of all, which is the load that it can bear.
AEON is the first rack with a carbon main structure that can bear a very high load (80 kg on bottom shelf, 60 kg on all the others) even if it has a total weight of 635 gr. An amazing result!
The breaking point is even more astounding: the CFRP ENDOSKELETON can bear loads 500 times superior to its weight.
The deformation curves show a straight trend and a very high static resistance. The deformation is inferior to 2 mm on a 800mm long arm, loaded in its central part with more than 120 kg. With the same load the horizontal deformation is inferior to 0,3 mm.
TESTING PROCESS (shelf dynamic analysis)
The modal analysis of the CFRP ENDOSKELETON and of the LHPS SHELF has been performed with a seismic shaker created to generate the vibrations of a source engine (analog or digital) and to understand what actually happens to a rack that undergoes direct stress. A three-axial accelerometer has been positioned in 42 points of the structure. In this way we have recreated the vibrational movements obtained stimulating the structure with frequencies included between 20 Hz and 11 KHz. The subsequent analysis of the results evidenced the critical points of the prototype and gave us the opportunity to optimize the orientation of the carbon layers and maximize its performance.
TESTING PROCESS (dynamic analysis of the structure)
Once established the exact composition of the endoskeleton we have done the dynamic analysis of the entire structure.
We have used a measuring hammer and four mono-axial accelerometers on 51 selected points so to recreate the structural net.
With the EMA (Experimental Modal Analysis) and a dedicated software we have detected the parameters of the resonance frequencies, of the dampings and of the modal warps.
This study evidenced some criticality and gave us the opportunity to solve problems that had never been faced before in this market.
The result is a highly performing rack – without compromises – at a very competitive price.
TESTING PROCESS (transmissibility analysis)
This was the most important phase. In this phase we were to find out if the project was correct: for the transmissibility analysis we have prepared a rack simulating a situation of operativity (we have loaded it with asymmetrical weights to simulate the presence of the electronic devices). We have performed the analysis stressing the deck with a seismic shaker able to create frequencies from 1Hz to 18 KHz from the distance of 1 meter.
In this case the EDT (Encapsulated Damper Technology) module reacted perfectly and demonstrated its ability to damp vibrations, significantly reducing the peaks.

Dallas Symphony Orchestra
Friday, January 22, 2010
8:00 p.m.
James Gaffigan, conductor
Emanuel Borok, violin
Musorgsky – Prelude to Khovanshtchina
Shostakovich – Symphony No. 1 in F minor, Op. 10
Beethoven – Concerto in D major for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61
Outside, it was a balmy 70 degree Texas January evening, but the brass played with icy clarity in the Shostakovich symphony. Inside, long lines for will call caused an even later-than-normal starting time for the concert. Yet, there were still quite a few empty seats.
The first half of Musorgsky was gently innocuous and a little wobbly, but an extremely quiet beginning is always difficult to execute. After the horn interlude, the second half firmed up while remaining delicate. The last section of the prelude silenced the audience, giving the Meyerson one of the quietest moments I remember in the hall. No coughing, wrappers, no shifting in the seats. In fact, the evening was notable if for no other reason than the total absence of cell phone blunders.
Shostakovich's first symphony is surprisingly short until you consider he wrote it at the age of nineteen. It is an excellent example of the deadly decorum of the 20th century Russian masters. The opening is half death march half national anthem, and the orchestra under Gaffigan's direction captured this mixture of somber formality and agitated fervor, especially in the articulation of repeated notes. During the first movement, the violins did not heed young Gaffigan's directions for mezzo piano and continued forte. Some of his movements look green still, but Gaffigan works with energy and precision. The fourth movement of the Shostakovich was glorious but not transcendent.
In the first movement of the Beethoven concerto, the first violins' odd repeated notes make sense harmonically only after the rest of the strings enter. Beethoven offers us a game of deferring V7 chords, as he makes the listener chase after them. The concerto's rondo is another joy of Beethoven's rapid 3/4 melodies in which he emphasizes the third beat and plays with duples in the middle of phrases.
After the intermission, Borok took the stage in an untucked black dress shirt. Next time at the Meyerson, he should wear a tuxedo jacket to protect himself from the cold. I heard audience members complaining after the performance, too. During the long exposition before his entrance, Borok was rapping his fingers in the air to keep the blood moving. The first statement suffered; intonation was a problem. But by the development, Borok was warmed and his playing comfortable. The cadenza of the first movement was inspired and mechanically brilliant. Borok lived inside the phrases as he wound them up and up like a whirlwind reaching the climax of harmonies in the double stops.
Borok's tone is unusual because as he moves up the instrument instead of thinning out, the higher registers grow deeper, richer, fuller. There is also a peculiar quality in Borok's sound that comes from the instrument's purity. The sound jumps off the body of the violin and reaches your ears before you are aware it.
I am happy to report there were more young people in the crowd, making the audience more diverse. The more modern and energetic music selection might be one cause. We can hope with little anxiety that this trend will continue with Jaap van Zweden's extending his contract with the DSO through the 2015-2016 season.

By Ronald Tito'ona
HONIARA (Solomon Star/Pacific Media Watch): Local journalists in the Solomon Islands have again been reminded of their watchdog role by keeping the government accountable in the fight against corruption.
Head of the University of South Pacific journalism strand Dr Shailendra Singh spoke to a group of journalists in a four-day Anti-Corruption Reporting Workshop in Honiara on Monday.
He said the role of a journalist was important in order to keep people informed and to keep the government accountable.
"The priority is scrutinising the government," said the regional media specialist.
Dr Singh added that the private sector and civil society organisations are also prone to corruption.
Informing public
"People need to be informed to be able to analyse government's performance, because we have elections every 4 to 5 years.
"And, people need to be fairly informed, to be able to make a right choice," he said.
Dr Singh explained that if people are informed of the government's conduct or policy, they can choose to either vote the government out or keep it in power.
"That is why it is so important that we, the media, scrutinise both the government conduct and policy on a regular basis.
"This is something we do constantly, but it is good to revisit and be reminded of our roles because we do this all the time, it can become a routine," Dr Singh told journalists.
Dr Singh is firm that this was how the news media performed its Fourth Estate role and upheld a country's democratic system.
'Very important role'
"So the news media is an important and a crucial pillar of democracy in any country. Without it, the government is no longer as accountable to the people.
"Without the news media, the government does not feel as accountable to the people. The government can act with impunity, and indulge in corruption more freely."
Local journalists were also told to be vigilant and with a priority placed on reporting corruption, as their role is crucial in a representative democracy and they should not under-estimate that.
"So do not underestimate your role. You get a lot of criticism in the course of your work.
"People you question will criticise you, and they will also try to belittle you.
"So don't let them distract you from this very important role," said Dr Singh.
He reminded the participants that they were representatives of the public, and without the media the public was handicapped in terms of the choices they made.

The number of people declared bankrupt more than doubled last year, Courts Service figures revealed today.
In the busiest 12 months ever for the courts, orders were also made to wind up 128 companies – a 66% increase on 2008.
The latest figures show 17 people went bankrupt in the High Court in 2009, with a dozen more so far this year.
Meanwhile, 600 new repossession cases have come into the system since June 2.
The number of restaurant licences granted by the Circuit Court slumped by 50% last year, while hotel licences decreased by almost half.
Pub licences fell to 192, down more than a quarter on the previous year.
Fine Gael spokesman on housing Terence Flanagan said the number of new repossession cases was extremely worrying.
The Dublin North East TD called for a monthly breakdown of the number of repossession orders and actual repossessions to reveal which institutions the orders were originating from.
"The public are entitled to full accountability and reporting of the actual situation and full information should be placed on the Courts Service website on a monthly basis," he added.
"There can be no longer a drip feed of information coming from the courts and other sources as to the extent of this country's repossession problem."
Key findings from the annual report for 2009 reveal:
* A total of 21,000 prison sentences were handed down in the courts last year.
* The Central Criminal Court dealt with 53 new murder cases – the highest figure in almost a decade.
* There were 49 new rape cases at the Central Criminal Court, the lowest number since 2005.
* In the Circuit Criminal Court, theft and robbery cases rose by 28% to 1,586, with drugs offences up by almost a quarter to 954.
* The Special Criminal Court saw its cases increase by two fifths last year. A total of 31 defendants, mainly alleged dissident republican cases, appeared before its judges.
* Applications for judicial separation and divorce were down by 19% and 13% respectively, while applications for custody and access in the District Court both increased by around a quarter.
* Dangerous driving charges dropped by 18% in the past two years, with a fall of almost a fifth in drink driving cases since 2007.
The Courts Service saw its budget slashed by almost 10% last year to €122m.
Chief Justice Mr Justice John L Murray said that despite funding cuts, the courts made significant progress last year.
"The present economic climate means that the Courts Service has had to confront new and different challenges of not only maintaining established services but of enhancing or expanding them to meet the persisting increase in the workload," he said.
"This change in circumstances has not prevented the service from achieving considerable success."

Experts from the University of Glasgow have analysed data on the health status of more than 500 thousand people aged 40-80 years. About 150 thousand people have attended on a regular basis medication to treat hypertension (antagonists of receptors of angiotensin, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers or thiazide diuretics). In the control group, the researchers used information on the health status 111 thousand people, the means to treat hypertension not taking.
It turned out that regular intake of the above described means is connected with a deterioration in mood, an increased risk of depression and bipolar disorder. While scientists can't say have such an effect do drugs, or diseases of the cardiovascular system affect mental status.
Twice as likely to mood disorders developed in people with hypertension, writes the Hindustan Times. Note that while this fact modern medicine can not do anything. Medication to lower pressure – the only way of combating hypertension.

The timer turns it off! Love the different colors. Eye catching for the babe!
TaraFebruary 21, 2017
It's the perfect nightlight to use for late night diaper changes or feedings. My son is four now and uses it as a nightlight still. The timer is great to reduce battery drainage yet doesn't go out too soon either. Love it so much it's on our list for our newest little one.
LindsayDecember 17, 2016
It goes through batteries quickly. It is easy to find a used one, don't pay full price. It eats batteries. But it's great for night time diaper changes.
TamicaMarch 4, 2016
This was soothing for our baby in the early months. She doesn't need it now, but I'm sure she'll love it again when she gets older.
JessicaJanuary 20, 2016
It provides enough light to change a diaper or check in on him without turning the light on and waking us all up. Plus it's super cute.

Lighter (& Better That Way) Cauliflower Fettuccini Alfredo from the Fuss-Free Vegan cookbook is a satisfying, veggie-packed vegan dinner that's done in 30 minutes of less! It's easy to make gluten-free too. In the spirit of full disclosure, I received a free review copy of the cookbook, but all opinions are my own.
Cauliflower Fettuccini Alfredo has be on my to-do list for years. I've always hesitated though, worried it wouldn't be as satisfying as the rich and creamy dairy based pastas. And I'll tell you a secret… I'm not a big fan of cauliflower. I love almost all veggies, but good old cauli isn't one of them. I finally got around to trying Cauliflower Fettuccini Alfredo, and my only regret is that I didn't start making this years ago! I was so pleasantly surprised by just how creamy and satisfying this recipe turned out. It even has that addictive umami flavor that cheese has. This lighter cauliflower fettuccini Alfredo will satisfy and pasta craving without weighing you down.
Lighter (& Better That Way) Cauliflower Fettuccini Alfredo comes to us from Sam Turnbull's new cookbook, Fuss-Free Vegan. Sam is also the blogger behind It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken. I just love her blog name and logo – it makes me giggle every time. I was delighted to receive a copy of the book from her publisher and can't wait to try more of her fuss-free recipes. This cookbook is packed with 101 everyday comfort food favorites, veganized. I am so impressed with how simple, easy, and satisfying all of her recipes look.

You can grab a copy of Fuss-Free Vegan wherever books are sold. Amazon is always easy so I'll link below (Amazon Affiliate Link).
A whole head of cauliflower gets simmered with vegetable broth, cream, and garlic until very tender. Miso paste ads umami and the whole mix gets pureed into the smoothest, creamiest, guilt-free Alfredo sauce! If you struggle to get your kids to eat their veggies, this recipe could be a great solution. This Cauliflower Fettuccini Alfredo recipe is perfect as-is, but I think it would also be fantastic topped with sauteed mushrooms.
Thanks to Sam for sharing this recipe with us. I know you are going to be amazed at just how delicious and creamy this cauliflower based pasta sauce is, without any dairy. This dish was so good, I'm already dreaming about making it again.

Floyd Mayweather lives up to his nickname.
If you've ever peeped Floyd Mayweather's Instagram account, you'll know that it's hard for him to live up to his "Money" nickname. In short, enjoying the most luxurious items in the world, from homes to cars to clothing, has always been Floyd's main objective, especially now that he's taking things a little easier following his retirement from the sport of boxing. However, the time is not being spent idling around - in fact, Mayweather is taking the opportunity to travel in style to the other side of the globe, making his stay in China a memorable one.
In a social media post where he shared multiple pictures from that trip, the champ showcased exactly how much he's getting paid in order to live it up when he's traveling abroad. Floyd used the caption to this post to detail how much coin was being dropped to attach his name to the excursion and let's just say the final dollar amount is not for the faint of heart.
"Here in Beijing, China at 'The Great Wall Of China', considered to be one of the greatest Wonders of The World! It's always been on my list of places to see throughout my travels in life however, timing is everything. Coming here with 23 people has been a great experience and it doesn't hurt to get paid $3,000,000. to simply visit and vacation here in luxury for a few days. With money this long, everything is different. I move different, I dress different and I live different because my money is extremely different!"
While it's not exactly clear what that amount of money is paying for overall, it's safe to say that even Floyd Mayweather's outfit in the picture will set you back more than a few bucks. In one of the photos, he's shown carrying a giant Birkin handbag, a luxury item that can cost in the neighborhood of $80,000 each. There's no telling how much the rest of his outfit cost, but in the case of "Money" Mayweather, cash is definitely not the issue here.
If you got $3 million to travel anywhere and with anyone, where would you go and who would you bring? Let us know in the comments.

Hallbar needed a new banner ad design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Hallbar Consulting
Hallbar is renewable energy and waste management consulting company that provides a wide-range of services, from assessment to management and optimisation, to capture renewable energy opportunities or overcome local waste management challenges.Our website can be found at http://www.hallbarconsulting.com
We need a banner to fill the white space at the top of our home page http://www.hallbarconsulting.com (dimensions for the banner are 900 by 360). PLEASE NOTE there are two home pages. if you click 'Home' on our website it will take you to the second homepage where there is no banner space. Be sure the web address reads http://www.hallbarconsulting.com).
1. Renewable Energy: 'Renewable energy' doesn't mean wind and solar power. Hallbar works with bioenergy technologies that use waste biomass (such as animal manure and used bedding, food waste, wood waste, sewage waste, etc.) to produce renewable energy. Some of the technologies we work with include anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis and gasification.
2. Waste Management Challenges: 'Waste management challenges' generally refers to someone who has biomass that they need helping either getting rid off in a more sustainable manner. This may mean using it to produce renewable energy, or it may mean turning it into something else that is useful.
3. Hallbar: We are an innovative, professional, high quality company that works with clients (predominantly farmers and local municipal governments) to help them find a real, tangible solution to their problems. Our website and banner should reflect this. Therefore, please nothing too stereotypical, such as flowers, butterflys, hands cupping a plant, etc. While we are a company that provides our clients with sustainable solutions, our clients aren't that interested in sustainability. They just want solutions to their problems.
4. Stock Images: We are ok with the use of stock images and will pay for the cost of the image if your submission is successful (please provide us with the cost of any Stock Images you use when you submit your banner).
5. Tag Line: We have a tag line which is 'Global Expertise'. Local Energy & Waste Solutions'. Please include this tag line in the banner and select an appropriate font style that communicates the feeling of being innovative, professional and high quality. Nothing too playful or cute.
6. Colours: Our CMYK logo colours are as follows: Green = C47 M0 Y100 K20 and Grey = C0 M0 Y0 K80.
7. Last Pointer: Because we work with, recommend and provide solutions to our clients that will include specific biomass types and technologies from a multitude of possible biomass and technology types, I would suggest you don't create a banner with a picture of a single type of technology and/or biomass. For example, if the banner has a picture of just an anaerobic digestion and wood waste, this isn't very useful for us as we also work with pyrolysis, gasification, boilers, gas scrubbers, manure, sewage waste, food waste, etc etc etc. Therefore, showing just one or two types of technologies and biomass will send potential clients the wrong message. Because of this I would recommend picking a more generic look or background picture that doesn't try to show anything specific, but rather looks good and fits in with the colour and feel of our website.

Most argumentative sentences end up with a naturally laid out assembly, especially when they've been via an beneficial circumstance. Every single sentence or two really helps to secure the overarching thesis (or sometimes argumentative assert) of one's paper, and any one part presents modern advice that is able to inspire the visitor since your place is considered the correct. The constituents that define a real sentence could be the pursuing:
Topic post title. Individual word points out into the reader what is the section is about. It always securities in to the more expensive case not directly, therefore it teaches reasons why often the sentence or two belongs on the essay. A field post title may perhaps be Some as well as Many essay sentences much time, while it can be a little specific phrase.
Evidence. The majority physique lines within argumentative papers start adding some type resilient that your chosen spot certainly is the correct one. The following studies can be in essence: quotes, internet surveys, or simply a person's findings. Any grammatical construction can be in which this kind of the evidence are often given using a enticing method by which.
Analysis. An excellent piece won't just present-day evidence. In addition it can take efforts and share reasons why evidence is worthwhile, the thing means, also the key reasons why marketing promotions campaigns as opposed to further items of data available to choose from. That's the spot where ones examination is actually.
Conclusions or transitions. As soon as the homework, an outstanding passage will certainly deliberate on by sharing the key reason why the piece is critical, the best way suits with all the thesis from the essay, and may start to put together your next section.
Reread your primary thesis fact.
If you are writing a fantastic argumentative composition, each one sentences will help farther your actual overarching promise. Think about come up with a argumentative part, you have to have all your thesis assertion thoughtfully in their mind. A good dissertation file really is a 1-3 sentence in your essay profile with the items you actually are discussing or just why it is essential. Think you are quarrelling that each one People in the usa will want to begin using energy-efficient bulbs in their housing? And / or are you currently disagreeing that all those inhabitants really need the freedom in order to select of which goods they buy? Remember to have got a clean reasoning behind your main disagreement before you start publishing.
Write the research plus evaluation firstly.
Often this is far better get started in producing in the center of a strong argumentative part rather then at the beginning of this sentences. For everybody who is getting upset over related to starting a paragraph from the very beginning, show one self you will discuss the portion of the section this really is quickest to write: the research and then analysis. After you have polished greater straightforward a part of some sentence or two, you can actually commence this issue sentence.
List lots of signs in which allows the thesis review.
No challenege show up somewhat controversy you will make, you will need to employ signs to make sure you get you which you are best suited. A person's the evidence are usually many things: historical certificate, quotes by way of qualified personnel, results from a good solid scientific study, a survey, perhaps your unique observations. Prior to when you head out with all your subsection, subscriber list finally out each piece connected with confirmation that you really feel allows your actual claim
Choose 1-3 pertaining round the indicators for your passage.
Each sentence you write really needs to be one also self-contained. Because of this, you cannot have too several waste material around the evidence to examine in each paragraph. Alternatively, the two passage are worthy of solely 1-3 pertaining aspects of studies. Take a close look at all the indicators you've got recovered. Any type of across the proof that seem want they can website jointly? The industry very good the fact that they belong inside precise same part. A few signs which unfortunately studies would probably hook up jointly have:
- If they will portion very common topics or perhaps even ideas
- If that they express a frequent base (which includes the exact same file or sometimes study)
- If people reveal the same author
- If they're the corresponding brand of the evidence (for example a pair surveys that demonstrate to equivalent good results)
Write relating to your information by using the Six to eight W's connected with producing.
The Half dozen W's concerning writing may be theWho, Specifically what, Each time, 'Where, The actual reason why,andHow. Is actually the imperative history people will want with the intention to view the guidelines you are making. While you figure out your primary applicable some information, keep the visitor in your head. Definitely describe which a substantiation is without question, why it seemed to be gathered, and just what it means. Two or three one of a kind considerations to take into consideration incorporate:
- You needs to express virtually any terms as well as vocabulary that may be unidentified on your person who reads. (Exactly what)
- You should certainly supply you with all the significant instances coupled with locations, in the event pertinent (particularly the place historical data file was basically endorsed). (When/Where)
- You ought to report exactly how confirmation came to be acquired. E. g. , you may need to clarify the ones in the study which given you ones own indications. (The correct way)
- You should always reveal who seem to provided you with your own confirmation. Have you got estimate due to an experienced person? Why is this man contemplated no stranger to any question? (Just who)
- You must show you dui attorneys las vegas suppose this approach research is essential or even significant. (So why)
Write 2-3 lines analyzing your main studies.
After most people deliver an individual's solution, related cut(ring) among research, you should spend your time detailing how we are convinced evidence improves all your larger debate. At this stage, your current prognosis comes in. You should not very easily catalog explanation along with go on: you'll have to illustrate it's actually necessity. A couple of questions you can actually ask yourself just like you check a the evidence consist of:
- What one thing ties together this unique the evidence in unison?
- How performs this confirmation aid confirm the thesis?
- Are certainly there just about any counterpoints and also various factors I ought to always remember?
- What causes this process substantiation stand out? Could there really be almost everything exceptional or captivating to sort it out?
Write your own theme word.
The matter phrase of each sentence serves as a signpost which the viewer may use continue along with your actual reason. The opening will include your main dissertation affirmation, website sentence will probably assemble this dissertation by offering studies. To be the book lover goes thru ones a piece of paper, she'll recognize how just about every subsection brings about the actual dissertation. 11 Take into account that the dissertation would be the more robust debate, plus the matter sentence helps turn out all the dissertation by just centering on an inferior problem or maybe option. The idea problem paragraph probably will make a case or discussion, that could be consequently handled and tough from the just after lines. Know the foremost concise explaination your personal passage and therefore jot down a real smaller dresses thesis saying this advises this amazing major ideas. Say ones thesis declaration is normally "Charlie Darkish brown plays the main cartoon charm typically, Inch all your composition might need the next question penalties:
- "The good ratings that will Charlie Toast television specials already have gained for several years reveal all the impression associated with the individual. "
- "Some everyday people vie which unfortunately super heroes such as Monster tend to be more necessary compared with what Charlie Tan. Having said that, studies show that Us residents recognise additional totally from the new Charlie as compared to the actual sturdy,
- alien Monster. "
- "Media researchers suggest Charlie Brown's catchphrases, original appearance, plus sage info simply because factors why this individuality is certainly loved through process of adults and children same way. "
Make for certain individual title sports remaining sentence or two.
After you've produced ones own area line, read again your primary the evidence plus studies. Consider if the topic sentence in your essay sports activities paragraph's creative ideas and even particulars. Does the catering company install together? Does it have points that seem misplaced? If you're, think of how you could customize the field sentence to pay for the different hints in the paragraph.
If you will discover far too many good ideas, you may have to falling apart typically the subsection within pair of isolate sentences.
Be certain any field sentence in your essay seriously is not merely restatement from the thesis per se. Any sentences needs an unique, original area of interest time period. When you find yourself plainly restating "Charlie Brown lightly is actually important" at the outset of every different figure paragraph, you'll have to narrow down a subject content extra extensively.
Conclude any part.
Unlike chock-full essays, not all the piece have a extensive conclusion. Though, it's usually competent towards allocate a title towards tying or braiding in the wobbly comes to an end on your sentences in addition to concentrating on the way paragraph has resulted in an individual's dissertation. You ought to do this amazing in the economy as well as soon. Prepare one final heading that will boosts ones controversy well before moving on to the next pair of options. A lot of keywords and phrases and then terms to make in any figuring line incorporate "Therefore, Inches wide "Ultimately, In. "As you can see now, Throughout and "Thus. "
Start the latest subsection as you move on to a fresh practice.
You should start an alternative sentences at the time you begin an alternative place or even tactic. Because of starting a completely new sentence or two, you return for ones person who you're changing issues in some manner. Some cues so you might build a completely new sentences contain:
- When you start out to share a different sort of subject or just topic
- When starting to pay in contrast to suggestions and even counterarguments
- When you'll location a different type of evidence
- When you actually review a better period of time, new release, and even person
- When your personal sentence or two is awkward. Should you have so many sentences as part of your piece, you could already have unnecessary strategies. Moreover trim your sentences straight into a couple of, or perhaps even update way down any corresponding with help it become a whole lot more shareable.

My goal is to help you successfully optimize, market, and grow your business by recommending and/or providing the very best Internet tools, strategies, and services to fit your needs.
Traditionally, if you wanted a professionally designed dynamic web site, it meant paying a programmer to develop your site from scratch or to piece meal your site together from applications that don't work well together.
Not any more...
I have spent the last nine years reviewing, building and integrating "best-of-breed" site management and site marketing tools. Each tool has been selected, modified, and/or built from scratch to be search engine friendly, easy to use, and to work together!
The tools, strategies and techniques improve with each new site that it built. Years of customer requests and experience have been built right into the tools.
Because many, if not all, of the tools that you need to be successful online are already put together, this means that you can target more of your budget where it belongs... on the marketing and branding of your products and services.
If you are serious about promoting your products and services online... simply give me a call at 586-693-2599 or contact me.
I will do my personal best to make sure that you have access to the best knowledge, tools and techniques to help make your web site successful.

Retirement Planning
One word comes to mind when preparing for your financial future, and that word is retirement. Retirement not only involves superannuation, but also strategic planning of the resources available to you. This includes using your family home, assets, businesses, share portfolio and superannuation in a fully-considered strategy. Few people realise the potential they can unlock across their range of assets. A financial adviser will review all of this for you – and work with you to make a plan to help you achieve your desired retirement.
Financial Growth
It doesn't matter where you are financially, a strategy for growth is crucial in strengthening and securing your future lifestyle. Some people have higher expectations of their lifestyle than others, and financial planners understand this. They work with you, looking at where you are now, and where you want to be. From there they propose a suite of options that offer you the opportunity to get where you want to be.
Financial Security
Securing your wealth is undoubtably more important than ever. Not only do you need to secure your wealth against inflation – but also ever-changing and volatile markets. Anything led by speculation requires a real finger on the pulse – and a financial adviser can offer you exactly this. Speak with a financial adviser today about how you can secure your wealth into the future. There are more options available to you than you think. Consulting with a finance professional about the ways you can secure your wealth is one of the best decisions you can make.

Review: iPod FM Transmitter From ProportaI received the iPod FM Transmitter from Hannah over at Proporta and today had a chance to play around with it.
The iPod FM Transmitter is a compact, light and simple product to use. Using the iPod connector you click the FM transmitter into your iPod Nano (also supports iPod mini, Photo, 4 & 5GB pods and video iPod – but today tested with Nano) which is nice to have the direct connect because no extra cables or wires are needed to make your iPod work with a 3rd party radio. Upon connection you get a confirmation the FM transmitter is sending a signal on FM frequency 88.8Mhz channel. This is the default setting, however, you have 9 memory channels to set the FM transmitter to. The Proporta FM transmitter has three buttons. A memory button to select one of nine preset channels, a scroll up button and scroll down button to navigate through the radio frequencies. It's simple. It's easy. Using the iPod FM transmitter I had mixed experience. Overall a good product – this is what I found: Using the iPod FM transmitter without a power connection I had decent reception. Using the iPod FM transmitter indoors gave much better reception to the radio than using the transmitter in the car. I can attribute the poor performance in the car due to many other electrical disturbances. The same results where found on different frequency settings. I did find the best reception was having the iPod close to the radio itself to boost signal strength over distance. Using the iPod FM transmitter with a power connection did yield slightly better performance. When the Proporta iPod FM transmitter is connected it's best to set it and leave it. I found the connection between the two devices didn't like being moved around and upon picking up and moving there would be static across the radio. This isn't a big deal to me as I figure most users would set it and forget it. If you plan on walking around with your iPod forget the FM transmitter and use your headphones.
Bottom Line: For the $24 price tag it's a good product for getting your tunes to a radio; however, we'd like to see some more signal strength to make the music clear in all situations.

Southern Alabama Feds Score Seventh Guilty Plea In Foreclosure Sale Bid Rigging Racket As Ongoing Probe Continues
From the U.S. Department of Justice (Washington, D.C.):
- An Alabama real estate investor pleaded guilty [] for his role in conspiracies to rig bids and commit mail fraud at public real estate foreclosure auctions in southern Alabama, the Department of Justice announced.
Charges were filed on June 25, 2012, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama in Mobile, Ala., against David R. Bradley. Bradley was charged with one count of bid rigging and one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. According to the plea agreement, Bradley has agreed to cooperate with the department's ongoing investigation.
According to court documents, Bradley conspired with others not to bid against one another at public real estate foreclosure auctions in southern Alabama. After a designated bidder bought a property at the public auctions, which typically take place at the county courthouse, the conspirators would generally hold a secret, second auction, at which each participant would bid the amount above the public auction price he or she was willing to pay. The highest bidder at the secret, second auction won the property.
Bradley was also charged with conspiring to use the U.S. mail to carry out a scheme to acquire title to rigged foreclosure properties sold at public auctions at artificially suppressed prices, to make and receive payoffs to co-conspirators and to cause financial institutions, homeowners and others with a legal interest in rigged foreclosure properties to receive less than the competitive price for the properties. Bradley participated in the bid-rigging and mail fraud conspiracies from as early as June 2003 until at least September 2008.
- Including today's plea, to date, six individuals—Harold H. Buchman, Allen K. French, Bobby Threlkeld Jr., Steven J. Cox, Lawrence B. Stacy and Bradley—and one company—M & B Builders LLC— have pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama in connection with the investigation. Additionally, on June 28, 2012, real estate investors Robert M. Brannon and Jason R. Brannon, and their company, J & R Properties LLC, were indicted with participating in bid rigging and conspiracy to commit mail fraud at public real estate auctions in southern Alabama.
Each violation of the Sherman Act carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine for individuals. The maximum fine for a Sherman Act charge may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime if either amount is greater than the statutory maximum fine.

If you have an Internet connection that has a fixed amount of download data per month, you probably know how difficult it is to keep track of usage and ensure that you do not hit your cap. If you do, you'll either get a reduced server, or be forced to pay for more data. The solution is to use Advanced Internet Management, a lightweight and easy-to-use application that can help you monitor your Internet traffic, keeping track of how much data has been transferred.

The Vanguard is the brainchild of cocktail expert Samuel Boulton, he opens his unique new venture in collaboration with Jewellery Quarter bar and kitchen 1000 trades today.
Boulton aims to serve the bar-dwelling folk of Birmingham something a little different. He dreams that punters will leave The Vanguard always having tried something new. You'll find no beer or wine on the menu as he promises to strictly serve drinks with character. All offerings have been skilfully considered and use only the best produce.
Setting itself aside from the crowd, the space will also perform as Birmingham's first meadery. The beverage which has its origins dating back thousands of years is the premier long drink, made of honey, fruits and spices it tantalises the sweet-tooth and provides much versatility. The Vanguard will push popularity of the long forgotten beverage and rightly so. Those first through the doors will be especially impressed by the aptly named 'Bartender's Handshake' – a mixture of Gosnell's Mead, Fernet Branca, Orgeat Syrup and Lime Juice.
In addition, what's oh-so special about this new JQ addition is its lack of pretence. Those who love cocktails can enjoy quality mixes, at home, in a relaxed atmosphere, without the expectation of dressing to the nines and the pressure of pristine surroundings. Classic hip-hop will provide the soundtrack to your evening here. We can't wait to welcome this quirky inclusion to the city.

Communication (Silence can be Golden)

In 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe' (Douglas Adams) – which some of you will know is one of my favourite reads – there was a race called the Belcerebons of Kakrafoon Kappa who had a very unhappy time. Once a serene and quiet civilization, a Galactic Tribunal sentenced them to the powers of telepathy solely because the rest of the galaxy found that peaceful contemplation a contemptuous thing. As a result Ford Prefect compared them to humans because the only way the Belcerebons could stop transmitting their every thought to each and every other Belcerebon was to mask their brain activity by talking endlessly about complete and utter trivia. Recently I have spent a few long hours on the train in to the London (and home again).
I have decided that the Belcerebons now inhabit a new home in the universe, that of the standard class coaches of the inter-city train that I am forced to share with them.
Now, of course, I own a mobile phone and, of course, I have the phone switched on but apart from the occasional text it remains unused, and on 'silent'. Others it seems, even at 7am in the morning, have the need to exchange monumentally unimportant trivia about their personal and working lives through the medium of shouting in to a mobile phone.
To the lady I had the delight of sitting near, actually 2 seat rows away, on my last journey I feel I know all about you, your fiancé, the complex wedding plans you are in the process of making, why you are a cat person and not a dog person and why you love Nando's so, so much - thank you for sharing!
What has this to do with project management you may well ask (and probably do ask)?
Well I am constantly going on about communication being the key differentiator that makes for good project managers, as opposed to competent project managers.
Good communication comes from the perfect harmony of the right message delivered the right way and at the right time. Much of this timing comes from planning for such communication, and more than that it is the filtering out or removal of unnecessary communication that delivers no value and distracts others.
And good communication comes also from thought and reflection, often through periods of silent contemplation. If everybody on a project attempted to communicate out to every other person at the same time then very little, or perhaps no, communication would really occur. Now of course there will always be some occasions that urgency dictates the exchange of information at a moment's notice but for the most part this is not the case, it can wait, in fact it is often far more effective to wait.
I think that, instead of one 'quiet' coach on each train for those that wish to have peace on their journeys that there should be one coach allocated solely to those few who lives are far more important than the rest of us and whose every thought must be conveyed immediately (and loudly). Let them all sit in one place and out-loud each other, they will probably enjoy it.
For the rest of us travelers let there be peace with the acceptance that the occasional important call might take place for very good reasons.
Perhaps I am becoming a grumpy old project manager but hopefully not; I just feel that in project management (and life in general) less is most definitely more especially when it comes to communication. And don't get me started on the soon to be with us use of mobile phones on a plane…
Happy travelling!
A new executive view

I saw something for the very first time the other day, and it was one of those 'why on earth have I never seen this before it is so obvious…' moments.
There is some background to this I have to admit; I have a new book out called 'Strategies for Project Sponsorship' (Management Concepts Press) written with two fellow authors, Ron Rosenhead and Vicki James. As a result of this I am tending to think 'sponsors' at every occasion and this one was no different.
I was reviewing a portfolio dashboard at a software vendor and they, as I have seen many times in the past in many systems, offered me views by project manager, business unit, location, value, phase and so on. But then I asked, and was delighted to see (after a simple sort edit) a view of the portfolio by… yes, you guessed it, by sponsor. And why not. Portfolio management should be much more than just a prioritisation of projects and resources exercise. It should be the representation in projects (and programs) of the competitive strategy that will allow business executives to convert their intentions into reality.
So this is pretty serious stuff then.
All of this is placed in the hands of project managers, and they need to be held to task and held accountable but in the words of Standish 'The most important person in the project is the executive sponsor. The executive sponsor is ultimately responsible for the success and failure of the project'
So to me, these days anyway, for the executive team to be able to view their portfolio also by project sponsor and to see who of these 'ultimately responsible' people are performing (and who are not, thereby putting the business strategy at risk) should be a 'no-brainer'. When it comes to financial accountability, it seems—at least anecdotally—that projects often go over budget, deliver late, and deliver less than was expected . . . and there are absolutely no significant consequences at sponsor level. No one appears to be accountable and no one gets removed. Now, if something goes wrong in the 'real' side of the business—sales down, profits falling, share price dropping—then it seems like something will be done and someone will be held accountable.
Maybe this is because this is seen as 'real' business and 'real' work and as such has to be taken seriously.
Project sponsorship needs the same strength of focus and importance of status.
The success or failure of a project is a direct reflection on the sponsor as the keeper of the organisational vision.
A 'sponsor' view of the project portfolio is an absolute key to this in the future I believe.
Executives; demand this today!

i like hearing the story behind the story!
140 characters. That's all that is used in a PicFic story. 140 characters in order to leave an impression on the reader. Derek Osborne has had several PicFic stories posted in Folded Word's PicFic archive. One of his more recent submissions, titled "2nd Grade," is not taken from a longer story, but is an experience from second grade.
"The boy who inspired my tweet, 2nd Grade, was a classmate from that year," said Osborne. "I have dozens of vibrant characters and small memories too fleeting and delicate for a short story or even flash, yet they persist, demanding to be expressed. Twitter is the perfect form for capturing these miniaturist moments."
"2nd Grade" was a PicFic that stood out for me in particular because as young students, parents may tend to do our homework for us rather than teaching us how it's done. Seeing their parents as infallible, children are not ready to believe that their parents made a mistake, as this classmate obviously was not ready to believe. According to Osborne, his classmate seemed to know something more than the rest of them knew.
"But then Charles smiled, smiled like our teacher sometimes smiled, and I knew something important had happened, though being all of eight years old I wasn't quite sure what it was," Osborne said.
Recently, Derek has been published on Fiction Daily. To view his entry go to: http://fictiondaily.org/2010/04/06/short-70/
