Submitted by: Coca-Cola HBC
Categories: Sustainability, Research, Reports & Publications
Posted: May 09, 2011 – 09:00 AM EST
ATHENS, May 09 /CSRwire/ - Coca-Cola Hellenic, one of Europe's leading bottlers of non-alcoholic beverages, has further strengthened the rigorous reporting and verification of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities across operations in 28 countries.
Coca-Cola Hellenic is the first European food and beverage company to reach an 'A+' rating according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for its CSR report.
Its just published 2010 CSR report, 'Towards Sustainability,' has been reviewed by an external Stakeholder Review Panel which provided input and a critical assessment of the report's strengths and improvement opportunities. In addition, the Company stated that the auditor denkstatt GmbH carried out an independent third-party validation of the contents in accordance with the international standards AA1000 (2008) and GRI (Global Reporting Initiative).
Among initiatives reported by Coca-Cola Hellenic are increased efforts to combat climate change. Beyond the construction of three Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants during the year, which will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 66% at each facility, the Company has now launched a programme to install solar panels on rooftops.
Energy-saving activities also involve improving efficiency of power use in bottling operations, transportation, and cold drink equipment which is progressively being replaced with models which are free of HFCs and are up to 63% more energy-efficient than previous coolers, substantially cutting CO2 emissions.
Another primary environmental focus is protection of water resources. More than 97% of wastewater was treated at bottling plants in 2010, and systems put in place enabled the re-use and recycling of 1.2 billion litres of water in production processes.
Water stewardship programmes in communities in partnership with governments, NGOs and conservation groups were aimed at awareness-raising, education and practical efforts to restore and maintain waterways, catchment areas, and wildlife habitats. Through the European Water Sustainability Sounding Board for Sugar the Company is examining the broader impact of water use in agriculture, especially in regard to sugar beet.
The Company achieved improvements in protection of the environment and of natural resources by recovering and recycling an average of 64% of packaging waste across 19 countries, and 85% of production waste across its operations. Through lightweighting, 5,000 tonnes of PET were saved.
Progress continued to be made in the protection of the health and safety of employees. Following the introduction of a concerted programme introduced in 2009, serious accidents declined 39% and the number of manufacturing plants certified to the international OHSAS 18001 standard reached 84%.
Furthermore, the CSR report details numerous other aspects of the Company's performance including its work with suppliers to improve energy efficiency and directing them in abiding by responsible social and economic practices; contributing to the well-being of communities by investing €9.5 million in a variety of projects and engaging more than 1.2 million people in sports and fitness programmes; and providing consumers with an increasing choice of beverages suited to individual lifestyles.
Coca-Cola Hellenic continued to actively participate in long-term partnerships, maintaining its status as a Notable Reporter of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), and partnerships with agencies such as UNDP, UNEP and UNESCO. Fourteen of the Company's businesses contribute individually to UNGC activities in their own countries.
A variety of awards have been bestowed on the Company for its CSR contributions, and recognition of its commitment to pursuing sustainable goals has been shown by its listing on the FTSE4Good Index for the ninth consecutive year, and on the Dow Jones Sustainability World and European STOXX indexes for the third year running.
Coca-Cola Hellenic has published the CSR report for 2010 in full at

Regulation Size Racket
Posted Sunday, March 23, 2008, at 6:47 AM ET The New York Times leads with Congress and the White House debating whether or not to tighten regulation of the financial services market. The Washington Post leads with Bhutan preparing to conduct its first elections on Monday, despite resistance from some citizens who are wary of the tumult of electoral politics. The Los Angeles Times leads locally, with its top national story saying that Sen. John McCain is staking his White House bid on the war in Iraq. The NYT compares the debate surrounding the current financial crisis to the reaction following the Sept. 11 attacks. Just as the attacks highlighted problems with coordinating intelligence and law enforcement agencies, the paper says the current crisis points out the lack of coordination between financial regulators. The paper finds the White House and Congress sparring over how best to correct a flawed system of financial regulations that Wall Street has learned to exploit. The Bush administration favors streamlining regulations and possibly creating an umbrella agency to handle duties currently split between different regulatory bodies. Congressional Democrats, however, want to tighten the rules by applying banking regulations to investment firms. Both sides claim their solution will benefit the free market the most. The White House says that investment capital would wither if the industry were overly regulated. Democrats, however, say that unless the industry becomes better regulated, investor confidence will shrivel and take the market with it. (bold added) More on the US political debate over shadow financial system regulation, in the quoted NYT paper:
In Washington, a Split Over Regulation of Wall Street
In Congress, Democrats are drafting bills that would create a powerful new regulator — or simply confer new powers on the Federal Reserve — to oversee practices across the entire array of commercial banks, Wall Street firms, hedge funds and nonbank financial companies. (…) At least four federal agencies — the Federal Reserve, the F.D.I.C., the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision — have some jurisdiction over mortgage lending. (…)
Ms. Bair of the F.D.I.C. cautioned that industry and government turf battles would make it difficult to agree on a single regulator, especially a strong one. But she said the need for one was clear.
"We need to go in the direction of more regulatory consolidation," Ms. Bair said. "It would make more sense to have some type of umbrella agency, if for no other reason than facilitating information."

Runes Reforged PBE Bugs & Feedback Thread
Overall my thoughts go to a need to add in a medium tank tree which is for bruisers who want tank early and rely on items late. All the resolve tree seems to be for tanks who build tank and want more tank. Meanwhile, bruisers and champs who need a little extra defense to get by don't get the options they need to go into lane with the survivability they need. My typical toplaner rune page used to be 20 armor 10 mr and 8 ad. I had plenty of survivability and could build normal offensive items during the game to become a threat. Now I start with zero defense when I go into a game unless im insanely naturally tanky. For an update that was supposed to let us choose how we play more it seems to be doing the opposite. I should be able to give teemo early tankiness. Even if you grab resolve on someone like Teemo they don't become tanky, they just have the potential to late game, and late game Teemo wants to have damage and threats. Teemo just can use a little extra defense early because of aggressive tops and a lack of hard cc. As well the ult CD reduces Rune (ultimate hat) needs to either work with charge cds on ults (Ie Teemo and Akali) OR indicate it will not work on that champion.
not really had a{{champion:420}} with{{item:3065}} {{item:3812}} {{item:3025}} {{item:3071}} {{item:3158}} {{item:3053}} she had 4k hp 420 ad 110 armor 100 mr and it was just plain busted she can 2-3 shot almost ever champ 4-5 for tanks heals faster then you can hurt her. and its all do to how powerful the off runes are there just insane with how hard they scale you can go 0 tank runes with a tank and end up as a tank assassin( wiitch is not ok)
I'm talking about non-tanks who need some base defense and tanks who literally just sit there. You're showing off illaoir with 5 items with offensive aspects to them (only one that isnt is visage). You're playing super aggressive. You can't get by just being tanky and ignoring the enemy. You've literally provided the opposite example.
New tank stuff is insanly more powerfull then the old ones. Gettin permanent Armor, Magic resist flat and % is so much better then base stats. Mages have so much more ways to put their damage out right now. Just find the right runes that fit your playstyle. Dont build runes on how your vision was.
But its not the tanks having issues its the in between guys who need a little extra survival because they're melee bruisers and skrimishers. Instead of having a chance to go into sustained fights they get nuked by people using the new damage options.
They got rid of magic pen and mr runes... It basically balances out. You cant just give people a bunch of armor and mr as base since the common things people took to counter those things are gone. You would just make everyone tankier than before the rune rework.
They may have removed the pen, but they added way more offense at the start in the runes. Its way more on the offensive side already.
Its not a mistake. Not only got the defensive runes removed, all runes got removed, including offensive runes. Squishys are insanly squishy cause did u ever saw an mage counter an sword with his robe? Mages are squishy and this is good so. If you want Magic resist, use the correct Rune for it, if you want armor their is also to correct rune for it, you need damage? read the runes :D The new system needs a few weeks until player fully understand it, and you will see near no difference to the old. (Yeah ok there are a few new cheap tricks to make little cracks to the balance, but it is overall fairly balanced)
The new runes are heavily on the offensive side as well as removing the usual defense players were used to have. Its a 1 2 punch. if you already played with a focus on high agression and mobility you move over just fine, but if you played with even a hint of tank and survival on champs who aren't building the resolve page you're in trouble in the new system.
Many AP Mages are boned with the Rune update
Why do you need more magic pen when no one has starting rune armor/mr anymore. IF you build a single pen item you basically are hitting near true dmg.
if that were to happen, you need to give base magic pen/lethality as well, which nobody currently has.
Pen is insanely more powerful right now because there is no base resistance. They removed most of the base defense and added a ton of offense unless you focus on being pure tank where you break about even. If you rush lethality right now you basically get true damage because everyone has so little defense.
To be fair the builds in the tank path are strong as all hell, you can build almost any farming tank to nigh invincibility at 20-30 minutes.
Im not talking about building out farm tanks. Im talking about having a little extra defense right off the bat to make laning easier.

"Invasion" PvE game mode falling from the stars to PBE soon for testing.
Well I was excited, but if its star guardians only I'm not gonna touch it. I like 1 champ who has a star guardian skin, hate the skin for her, hate the skin line in general, and don't want to play the same champ over and over. I like PVE doom bots 2 was amazing. I'm fine with specific roster types. Blood moon has a solid variety of champs with the only focus being "does a lot of damage fast" (I still played lee as a off tank there to mess with people :D). This just seems... like a promotion for the skins more than anything else. Which it can be a promotion, but it feels like that was the only point.
U forgot about {{champion:81}} <3
At least you can be against a distinctly bad ez. He still has to use skillshots.
Is there a reason flat armor penetration is being removed from champion's kits?
Rammus was changed for consistancy. He was half as half ap and it left him wanting so they made him all magic damage. He didnt need armor pen after that.
if you dont like it dont play it im sure there are plenty of players who like urf as it is now {{sticker:slayer-jinx-unamused}}
That solves nothing. To replace a gamemode and not have any concessions to make up to the people losing is nonsense.
An issue about two items in URF
I mean zzrot was removed so I see no reason edge of night can't be.
Or we can simply petition for her to be the chosen disabled champion. Even with the healing embargo, her heal spamming is simply too strong for it.
they should keep the heal embargo all game. once you hit late most champs are beyond broken and get EVEN more from the embargo going away.
Because everyone would instalock all the op picks, thus playing the same game over and over again.
I play plenty of underpicked but still enjoyable champs. The randomness means I'm left with champs I don't enjoy.
> What's changed? Since the last time we ran ARURF the following champs have undergone some sort of decent surgery or are new! > Camille Warwick Assassins patch Talon Katarina LeBlanc Rengar And Ivern ? You forgot the nice tree :0
the map is now bushes.
The Ghost nerf is not the way to go about it
Essentially fix it the same way you fix all the other move speed items. Melee get more than ranged.
Shaco Ruined?
The changes have made hybrid shaco fantastic. I think it's killed crit builds though. Really the way shaco works now is far more about manipulation and set up without it being 100 to 0 box stacks. New shaco needs you to be a utility to the team in the early game. You go pick up people trying to back, you scare lanes and run away, you counter jungle with boxes providing cover or clear. Once you hit mid to late if you are doing well and have 20 to 30% and a gunblade you should be fine to go kill squishy targets. You will not burst as fast as other assassins but you have more CC, mobility, and mitigation than them. You can burst You q in land the backstab proc/hit with trinity then gunblade and w to kill. If you haven't killed the box you placed just before you back stabbed will have triggered and give you time to basic again possibly with a trinity proc. Finally if they are still alive you ult to dodge their response and with fakco you deal all the dmg you need. Fakco can also be used just before you start that combo if you don't need to dodge the enemy's response. Shaco is fine. He's just not PURE AD or PURE AP anymore. He is a hybrid champ and a damn good one.
Plants Don't Provide Real Decisionmaking
I think the point was to mitigate decision making. They specifically wanted to cut to down to immediate choices.
Opinion on Plants
gimmick is an apt description.
People say Kassadin's fine but... idk. I personally don't find him fun to play as, especially not early game.
He's vaguely fun late game, but he doesn't do anything. He has no real damage no real power he's literally just mobile.
[Assassins] - Mini Updates Discussion
Am I the only person who likes shaco now? I've been stomping repeatedly with him.

The first impression is pretty cool. I like that Riot tried to implenet something new like his E. > > **No Jungler Items recommended - **The first thing I realized quickly after the start. I played him in Jungle, so I was going to buy the Jungler item, but it was not there under the recommended items. As far as I remember ther ould be an other list of Items when you have smite with you. > > **His passive is barley visible - **after ganking the first lane I realized that I nearly couldnt see his passive stacks. Maybe this is different on other skins. I played with SSW skin. In my opinion it should be a little bit more visible. > > **Timer on Walls - **The other part I realized while ganking was, that it is really tricky to remember, which wall i can use again in some seconds. As many chmpions has a timer on their stuff (like Zilean on his bomb) I suggest to implement something that you can see how long it might go until you can jump over it again. Something like the inhibitor, but I'd do it with colors. > > **CD on E - **is to short in my opinion. There is no diffference in having it on lvl 1 or on lvl 3. So the use of skill points has no value. In addition i agree with many players who said, that there is a lack of possibilities on Talon during teamfight and lategame. So I was thinking of why don't you set a higher CD and make it also a dash-roll as well, when he is not near to a wall. > > **Line is not straight -** There are many walls on which you can jump over two parts (Here I am talking especially about the walls which are colse to the enemy base). When you jump over it the wall gets red. This line is okay (a little bit ugly when it ends in the middle but okay). The problem now is now whenyou jump over the second part, this one also gets red. well - the lines does not really fit everywhere. I saw it especially on the wall between the Wolfcamp and the enemy base. There is a part of where the lines meet, which is pretty ugly because there is a bigger part red. I tried to take a screenshot for you but League didnt save it with f12. I guess something went wrong there. Thats because talon is a mid lanner and not a jungler, we dont need more draven junglers, thank you.
The thing is he is SUPER effective as a jungler possibly more than a laner.
**No. You just have to stop playing Shaco brainless, like E then Q someone, and expect to one-shot.** Get max cdr, a proper combo now is: Use Q then R while invisible, (optional before casting R, place a box while stealth on a way enemy is going to run), get backstab from Shaco and Clone, use E, use 2 autos, use E again. If its a squishy target, he probably dies, if not, you have Q again to finish him off or escape. They key to play new Shaco is constantly using backstab including the Clone, get CDR for the 6,6s+ Q cooldown, get put a box when they don't expect. E does massive damage after your burst from Q and backstab. Also, if you chase someone, you can start a fight from E to slow someone, then Q and and the rest, and use E at the end again, because its around 4,5s with max cdr. **TL;DR: You have to change playstyle, understand that you need max CDR and AD, proc passive properly, Q is main damage and E is a finisher.**
That's not what I said. I'm just saying the ranks of E basically add nothing. Its plus 75 dmg at max level right? I never said I expected it to nuke and kill anymore I glad it doesn't. I hated shaco being a targeted 800 dmg for nothing.
No skill champs
Rengar press R jump and deal 900 dmg before you land. Don't even start with talon. you can use normal wards and suddenly he can't catch you off guard. From there its just playing up his melee weakness and the fact that if he uses his w and misses his combo is down for more than long enough to obliterate him. On top of it talon super weak to any and all cc even slows will stop him in his tracks. He's only doing as well as he is because its typically 4 assassins per game right now. As soon as you see a normal match with tanks and fighters he drops to mediocrity.
After ANOTHER few games, have to say, E is still good, just you gotta get 40% cdr, Q, E, auto twice, use E again when someone is 1/3 or 1/4 HP, and someone is going to be dead for sure. E isn't maybe the best early, but Shaco is much better late game than before he was. http://i.imgur.com/G5OwdHj.png
It also has become very clear that you shouldn't level E until the end. There is basically no use to its level ups.
His old E wasn't poke it was a straight up nuke (at least for ap). Something needed to be done that Shaco wasn't just using E then leaving until it was off cooldown. As for everything else I largely agree he has some really bad late game problems still, and has lost his early supremacy. I do think they very much wanted him to be hybrid all the time now with these changes which depending on what you play is really weird. I for one always did hybrid so I've adapated nicely to it I suppose.

Any cc will shut him down and he has nothing to use against it. He might be able to q to an enemy out of the way, but at that point he's condemned himself worse. His ult is the only other option and that only makes him feel worse. Other champs can just hit a basic spell and be scott free, but talon has to burn ult for a dumb luck chance to out run the enemy. His E is rarely an option in lane, and when it is usable in jungle most champs will kill him before he makes the whole jump (it is way too slow especially at the start and end) It would be fine if he could use it away from the wall but only over them, but with the current requirements he is going no where.

Heck I think Shaco meets a closer fantasy to how I thought Talon would play. Hyper mobile run in stab and combo run away go screw with someone else. Talon feels like he sits there and tries to land his one combo and probably dies in the process because his basic attack didn't go off. I already told, talon will be unviable on competitive mode, most talon competitive players talking plat up will start to leave or to play other similar champs like wu for exemple. Right now the talon i see, is the talon where you go whit freinds and you troll them so hard that some rage quit.
He is fun overall. Just massively flawed for real play. I certainly know he won't be used by me on serious terms ATM. It makes me really sad as having an assassin in my main roster would be really nice. I liked talon way back when he came out, but he dropped into a play style I wasn't really enjoying.
I know, but despite his passive ending up as a nerf or buff, the fact that he is losing flexibility bothers me and it will bother others as well. It's narrowing his strengths for viability.
20% dmg just for facing away wasn't a healthy system. Not only do people turn on a dime, but it made his nuke even harder when it didn't need to be and wasn't deserved. Yes this makes you basic more, but you can still be ap with it. I'd recommend gunblade because it is just plain good anyway, but even as pure ap you have enough burst potential that you won't need it.
The Shaco changes are not healthy. They should not go through.
I actually like his passive, his q is not nearly as bad as you make it out (there is more than enough time even early. it's a freaking flash ffs), the boxes do disappoint slightly, but it teaches people to string them out into more elaborate traps. I agree largely on his E though. it feels very weak and unfufiling. Before it was this huge ap nuke, but now its kind of just an annoyance to help him poke or run faster. I'd swear its just for procing thunderlords. The boxes on ult need major work. Overall you act like Shaco was never leant towards being ad for half the skill and ap for the other half. He's always been in this weird place, and with current items he can do well.
[Assassins] Talon feedback thread
Finally got a match against a normalish team (aka not 5 assassins), and WOW talon is abysmal (in lane). Any cc will shut him down and he has nothing to use against it. He might be able to q to an enemy out of the way, but at that point he's condemned himself worse. His ult is the only other option and that only makes him feel worse. Other champs can just hit a basic spell and be scott free, but talon has to burn ult for a dumb luck chance to out run the enemy. His E is rarely an option in lane, and when it is usable in jungle most champs will kill him before he makes the whole jump (it is way too slow especially at the start and end) It would be fine if he could use it away from the wall but only over them, but with the current requirements he is going no where. I'd recommend letting him E along the outside walls for a little more mobility in bot and top. Next issue is actually rengar, but thats for another thread I suppose. Preseason is preseason rengar obliterates talon all day long. Please look at rengar bursting too hard. Third I feel like the basic attack to trigger his passive is super clunky. Talon is not fast with basics and his Q no longer is a reset (though I MUCH prefer this). Talon just doesn't basic attack faster than most people will escape. All you have is a weak slow and a short dash to target how am i supposed to guarantee that basic attack? The final issue is that talon doesn't really have a good reason to exist among other assassins atm. There is nothing that puts him equal or above them. He does all the same things but worse right now. Yes he can burst squishies, but not in anyway that makes him a pick over the other options around. I enjoy the concepts here, but he isn't useful like the other picks. Heck I think Shaco meets a closer fantasy to how I thought Talon would play. Hyper mobile run in stab and combo run away go screw with someone else. Talon feels like he sits there and tries to land his one combo and probably dies in the process because his basic attack didn't go off.
The jungle mob's change are Ok, but i feel like plants are really useles and not necessary. The old smite ssystem is way better.
I actually love the new smite it makes other champs more viable as there is an on demand heal. The planets don't feel really useful, but old smite was a pain and more there because we had to do something with smite.
I noticed that sometimes it was faster to NOT cross certain walls. It kinda forces Talon to build as much movement speed as possible to make the animation take a reasonable amount of time.
I never do, so that could be why it feels trash to me. I rush cdr and a hydra and I fill in the last item with whatever I need for that game. He needs that CDR way more than move speed.
There is only one thing i ask you to change. Please make Q act like an auto attack enhancer like it previously was. The targeting system we have for it right now honestly feels really bad and actually makes it feel a little slow. I don't see why it cannot be an ability you activate to give your next auto attack a buff that acts like it does now. Not only would this give you another lever for balance on the ability but allow it to feel much more smooth to use.
no. Talon's biggest flaw was that old attack enhancer Q being cut off. The Q being a target gives far more control and utility to it. As well it lets him have the dash on it at the same time as the crit without any confusion on when it will be which. If you think this is slow then you just can't quick cast well enough.
[Assassins] Talon feedback thread
I love his E, but it doesn't feel like its for roaming at all. It's a weak to ok escape and sometimes a good ganking tool, but not for roaming. I use it once when I jump into lane and that's it. If I got bonus movespeed or something after I jump then I'd use it because honestly I feel MUCH slower when I am doing the jump.
Vision changes and Teemo
How about something like it stalls the explosion. So if you fudge up while disabling them you won't be punished horribly for misclicking. At the same time it lets him use shrooms much more actively.
Smite Recharge Cooldown is too long
I dunno with how powerful smite is now as the spell I think that 80 or 70 would be fine. 40 would basically let you smite every other champ for that huge heal.
Healing on URF
I think the debuff should remain at fifty the entire game. Same for shields.
Rip (ar)urf for me
You either stomp and don't feel like you earned it or are slaughtered because of dumb luck.
Yeah I really didn't like the idea of AR Urf when people were talking about "balancing urf" earlier in the year. I liked the older version of URF mainly because you got to select who you wanted to play, even if you were against an op team comp well, at least you were still able to play who you wanted. Yeah I always feel like I'm playing against/with the same champs at times which gets really annoying. Also with old urf it was usually OP Team vs. OP Team now the matches are skewed depending on the champs you receive. As for your ideas... I agree with seeing the opposing team's champs. But only after champ select is done. So like after all the champs get locked in, there'll be a 30-60 second window to change runes/masteries while knowing what the enemy is playing but, without the ability to counter pick (hopefully that made sense) Kinda indifferent with increasing the number of re-rolls, not sure how different it would be with more re-rolls. Like someone could get really mad after wasting all 3 rerolls and not get a champ they want I guess @~@ Not sure about the randomizing section lol... But, if the system is only randomizing the champs each player owns, I definitely think it should go through all the champs and not just the champs you have. Not much of a problem in PBE but, once it reaches live people could theoretically cherry-pick which champs they want by only buying certain champs. Yes I agree with this lol... Games go waaay too fast so surrender should be around 15 minutes.
Being able to pick someone who isn't op but knowing its a champ you love may just be better than winning. When I can go braum in urf and have fun just off being a jerk to ezreals who are trying to spam ult then I consider it a win.
Braum's got nothing going for Him.
They should tool around with some of the passives and item cooldowns for urf to see if they can make more champs viable.
You are missing the point. The isnt if we are comfortable with random champions, i basically play ARAM once a day and a i love it. But i hate this random URF, not because i cant chose my comfortable champion, but because this doesnt work. What makes ARAM great, isnt just the random champions, is the one lane map. You have a five x five all the time. You cant go back to base to heal or shop, you have to fight, period. In this random URF, we have three lanes and huge jungle. Everybody is walking around to get as many kill as possible, and if you get a weak champion, the enemy will hunt the entire game, and you dont have a team around, like in ARAM. There is no teamplay on URF, never did, it is just about being fun doing crazy thingd. And it is not fun when you cant leave the nexus, because twitch is hunting you like crazy, and you team is all over the map, getting kills. URF is free for all, and you added random champions in that mix. It doesnt work.
I'm fine with being Nami. I'm not fine with that Eve that can roam like sonic the hedgehog and still dish out more damage than 3 people on my team together. I enjoy being new people and seeing how they work. I never knew renekton became such a monster late in urf.
All Random URF for the RGM queue now live for testing on the PBE
Yeah random has only made it easier to tell who wins. When everyone picked broken champs yes you fought a lot of the same guys, but at least it was down to skill then because everyone was broken as all heck. I could fight eve with my awesome Renekton plays, but now I get handed Nami and am expected to still face that eve. It stops being fun right there because instead of it being all broken its a stomp. There are too many champions that you only need one moderate good user of to win for random to work.
ARURF Balancing Idea & Feedback
A way to make it so there can only be 1 BROKEN champ per team could be interesting.
[Gameplay] Discussion regarding AR URF Concerns/Suggestions inside.
I still think the most broken champs can be toned down with something simple (maybe 5% less cdr or something). But ten bans still seems like the best way to handle the whole thing.

The report contains verbatim responses, statistical evidence, customer narratives and case examples. The report is written from the perspective of the individual and illustrates real experiences. It looks at what people feel is their current experience and what they would like it to be. From this, conclusions and recommendations have been drawn for the aviation industry to consider.
In total, the views of 534 disabled people were gathered between February 2015 and November 2015. The report was compiled in January 2016.
The purpose of this report is to stimulate debate with all airline stakeholders. It contains a number of recommendations that we believe would improve the overall customer experience. Some of the issues highlighted and recommendations made are not totally within the delivery remit of OCS but will require a new focus from the whole industry working collaboratively to improve certain aspects of the customer's journey.
This report is published as an interim report to enable further consultation and feedback on the proposed recommendations.
Next Steps:
OCS proposes to help convene an industry-wide debate to explore further the ideas presented in this report. This report will be shared widely with key stakeholders with a view to testing the recommendations and exploring how we can improve the experiences of disabled passengers.

Maybe I should have lented from stress, or perhaps from doubt.
A little under a year ago I was laid off from a job I'd held for close to four years. The timing was right - I was planning a move already when the news came, and I left a job I enjoyed with no bitterness toward anyone. I quickly applied for Employment Insurance payments and held on until I found new work just a couple months later. That new job came in the form of working with adults with developmental disabilities, a job that was richly fulfilling on many levels. It was a clear sign to me that God was taking care of me in a time of some major transitions in my life (around the same time I moved from Abbotsford to Vancouver, and got married). The job location was very close to our home, the hours were good, the job was generally stress-free, and I've always enjoyed my interactions with people with developmental disabilities, so the job seemed a natural fit for the time.
Of course it came with things that I found difficult, and I knew that the job wasn't completely taking advantage of all of my gifts and abilities, nor was it challenging me in many meaningful ways. Add to that the reality of being a part of a union that was threatening job action in April of this year, and I found myself slowly searching for my next employment step.
I began the season of lent this year with 2 job interviews, for 2 positions I was very excited about. Each promised to get back to me shortly with their decision, and I felt reasonably comfortable that I would have a new job within a few weeks. The days marched on, however, with little contact from my new potential employers, and with the potential of a strike looming in my current job, my stress began to rise. In times like these, I tend to think about my life and decisions I've made, and not necessarily in the most positive way. I wonder why I don't have a more practical college degree, why I never pursued certain promotions, and begin to doubt even what strengths and gifts I know I do have. I know I should instead look back and trace the hand of God through every step I've taken in my life - the incredibly rich college experiences I had and the lifelong friends I made there, the jobs that always seemed to come in the nick of time and that always seemed to fit me so well, the 'divine appointments along the way, and even (or especially) the way he led me to who is now my wife.
Through much of my life, the words of Jeremiah 29:11 have followed my steps. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'" It's a verse I've at least tried to hold on to, and seems to come back to me when I need to hear those words most.
So, a few weeks into lent (and after the two interviews), I finally received word from one of my two new potential employers: "We've hired someone else." Few more disappointing phrases exist in our language, and this was from the job I felt I had the best chance of achieving out of my two interviews. Clearly all hope was now lost. For a couple weeks I resumed browsing through job postings, wondering how I would ever find a job that I would enjoy and be good at, and if I was really ready for a life in my parents' basement while working at Burger King.
It was in fact, the morning after the darkest day of these last weeks... the day in which I truly thought I had no hope of new or meaningful employment, that the call came from the first of those two job interviewers, to ask if I was still interested in working with them, because they would like to offer me the job. So here I am, days away from the possibility of a strike in my 'old' job, about to start a new, presently exciting, challenging job... and true to form, it's come in the nick of time. And while it is simply a new job, and while I realize it may not be "perfect", I don't think it's too much for me to look at this as a true Ebenezer.
Thus far, the Lord has helped us. As the ending of Lent draws near and Good Friday approaches, I find myself so thankful that we follow a God who promises plans to give us a "hope and a future." Remember hope in all things.

The Tellico River rises in the westernmost mountains of the U.S. state of North Carolina, but it flows mainly through Monroe County, Tennessee. With a length of 52.8 miles (85.0 km), it is a major tributary of the Little Tennessee River, and is one of the primary streams draining the Unicoi Mountains.
The Tellico River and its main tributaries are renowned for their brook, brown, and rainbow trout fishing. Upstream from Tellico Lake, above Tellico Plains, Tennessee, the Tellico is a premier trout stream. It meanders through a mountain gorge before reaching the broad plains downstream of Tellico Plains.
The Tellico River rises in the Unicoi Mountains (a subrange of the Blue Ridge Mountains) near the Cherokee County/Graham County line, in North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest. The North Carolina side includes the Upper Tellico Off-highway vehicle area.
After the river crosses into Tennessee and enters the Cherokee National Forest, it is joined by its major tributaries, the Bald and North rivers. After exiting the mountains, the river enters Tellico Plains, a relatively flat and isolated area carved out by the river and several tributaries, namely Morgan Creek and Smoky Run. A 4-mile (6.4 km) stretch of the river above Tellico Plains runs parallel to the Cherohala Skyway.
Beyond Tellico Plains, the river winds its way northward through rural Monroe County, Tennessee, before entering the slack waters of Tellico Lake. This lower section of the river absorbs several major streams, including Ballplay Creek and Notchy Creek. Fort Loudoun, a reconstructed 18th-century fort that is now the focus of a state park, stands on an island at the Tellico River's confluence with the Little Tennessee River.
The Tellico River basin was logged by the Babcock Lumber Company in the early 20th century. The present-day road up the Tellico River from Tellico Plains was built on the old Babcock logging railroad bed. After the Tellico River basin forests were cut, Babock sold the land to the United States Forest Service.
The Tellico River's rocky descent provides class III-IV whitewater recreation. The runs are especially popular during the spring because of higher water levels. The narrow extreme rapids on the Tellico River are well suited for kayaks, canoes - C1's and duckies, but not for larger rafts. There is continuous access to the river from the road, but these runs are popular:
- Trout Hatchery to Bridge above the Bald River confluence, class II-III
- The Ledges - from the Bridge above the Bald River confluence to bridge below Jared's Knee, class III-IV
- Bridge below Jared's Knee to Ranger Station, class II-III
- Ranger Station to Tellico Plains, class I-III
According to the United States Geological Survey, variant names of the Tellico River include Delaquay River, Talequo River, Terrique River, and Tellequo River.[1]
The word "Tellico" was the name of several Cherokee towns, the largest of which was Great Tellico, located on the Tellico River near present-day Tellico Plains, Tennessee. In Cherokee the word is more properly written "Talikwa". According to James Mooney, the Cherokee meaning of the word was lost.[4] The origin of the word is believed to be Muskogee (Creek). A Muskogean town named Taliko was thriving on the Tellico River when Spanish explorers visited in area in the mid-16th century. Taliko means "bean" in Muskogee.

Passive Communication
One of the best aspects of my job is that I work remotely, and until recently, it was also one of the worst. I missed the incidental interactions that occurred during a typical office job. Yes, this included gossip, sports talk, and other so called "unproductive" activities; but I also missed the hallway, post-meeting, and over-cube conversations that had led to my best ideas in prior roles. As Elicit recognized the limitations of remote work, we took steps to overhaul our collective communication style. The result was better morale, but also an entirely unexpected boon to company productivity that I've dubbed "passive communication."
Our team communicated over a ton of platforms[1]Email, text, iMessage, phone calls, GoToMeeting, Skype, Google Hangouts, and face-to-face when on site. I'm probably still missing a couple. and this was a problem for two reasons. First, we had to think about which forum was appropriate every time we sent a message—an unnecessary barrier to discourse. Second, silos of communication emerged. Subject to idiosyncratic preferences and interpersonal dynamics, members of the same project would often develop distinct communication channels for each teammate. This led to ridiculous scenarios where two data scientists would text about a problem, one would call the PM, who in turn emailed our COO. The "game of telephone" distorted content, dropped context along the way, and added unnecessary friction to every process. To solve for these problems, we implemented a policy of centralized communication on Slack, a team chat and collaboration platform.
It was with Slack that we discovered "passive communication." In the application, each of our project teams communicates in a "channel", and this completely changed the convoluted "game of telephone" scenario described earlier. Now, the analysts chat in the project channel instead of texting. Since this is visible to everyone on the project, both the PM and COO have full visibility to both the problem and the context, and chime in as needed. Time is saved, and all parties involved are better informed. The process also works in reverse. With data scientists now privy to the reasoning behind executive strategy, they're empowered to make tactical decisions without consulting leadership.
As with all change, this didn't happen overnight. Our team had to consciously work to communicate transparently in the project channels, and not default back to our old ways. Moreover, executives had to get used to checking in on project conversations. But as the benefits became apparent, adoption took off and the team became more informed and connected.
While we will never have chats over the cube walls or banter around the water cooler, we are creating opportunities for people to stay connected. Remote work isn't for everyone, but by shifting communication toward transparent channels, remote companies can start to get the best of both worlds.

Who are Young Carers? Young carers are children and young people (5-18 years) who look after someone in their family who has an illness, a disability, or is affected by mental ill-health or substance misuse. Most are caring for a parent but some may be taking responsibility for a sibling, grandparent, or other relative. Young carers often take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult. The task undertaken can vary according to the nature of the illness or disability, the level and frequency of need for care and the structure of the family as a whole.
The person they look after will have one or more:
- Physical disability (including sensory disability)
- Learning disability
- Mental health problem
- Chronic illness
- Substance misuse problem
How the school can help you:
By understanding what it means to be a young carer. For example, you may struggle getting your homework in on time, you can sometimes be late for school or you may be worrying that the person you are caring for is OK.
If you need some help or support with any of these issues, please talk to an adult in your class, Tracey Reilly or Pamela Hill. We understand sometimes you will want things private, so we will only share information with people that can help you, unless you say we can.
We also work closely with Kent Young Carers Bexley Moorings who can also help support you when you need it.
School Council
This is a driving force in the school and its representatives are regularly to be found demanding the ear of governors, senior staff and parents at their meetings. As a result, they make sure pupils' views are always considered in decision making.
Buddy System
New pupils always have a 'buddy' allocated to them to help settle into our school: this is usually an older pupil or on who knows our school well. Buddies often remain firm friends for their time at our school.

Since I was busy yesterday running here and there, I had also made a trip to the chiro for an adjustment and did some grocery shopping during the afternoon, I did very little of the items on my new chore list. So today after I went for a run and did a Crossfit workout, I started doing some cleaning around the house. The kitchen and dining room floors needed to be mopped and the house vacuumed. Then a few other things got done, like bagging some donations and dropping them off, litter box was changed, beds made, bathroom counters wiped down and some clutter cleaned up. After dinner I cleaned up the kitchen, scrubbing the sink and stove area. Then sat down to stitch. Sadly, I haven't made one X… I am exhausted and am planning to head to bed in hopes of a good night sleep. Early morning run tomorrow and then a family fun day has been planned.

Cleaning schedule
Posted in Around the garden & home on September 4, 2013| Leave a Comment »
I am not a great housekeeper, though I do love having a clean house, I don't usually enjoy being the one cleaning it. I do best on a schedule so when I saw a recent Pinterest on someone's blog I thought I would give it a try. I have to make a few adjustments. I prefer to do laundry in one day instead of daily. But I am going to give this a try and see how it goes.

(Day 2)
I can not hold back the truth any longer… I hate working out! But I do like the benefits of just doing it anyway. So I thought I would share with my few readers a little about my fitness routines. Although I am not as thin or have as flat of a tummy as I was/did when Sean and I got married, in a few ways I am in better shape than I have ever been. My legs are strong and tone, though I am working to get those stubborn inner thighs to be as tone as the rest of my legs. I do not have the triceps wave. And although I don't always enjoy running, I can. I ran a half marathon back in January with my friend, Wendy and we have FOUR more to run on our schedule in September, November, January and February (the last two also include a 10K the day before the half). I don't think either of us really enjoy the actual running, but we both do like the medals.
After we completed the re-decorating of the family room and decided we no longer wanted to use it as our workout area, we moved some things around and converted the home office/craft room into a fitness room. I have changed some things around in there again just a bit. We got a proper workout mat, a corkboard and wipe board to make notes on. There isn't a lot of room in here to workout, even smaller than the family room area, but we manage. And we don't workout at the same time. (And yes, that is my messy cross-stitch area that is still waiting to be re-organized, but I have a couple of other things to do first.)
Sean and I decided to get the cross-fit inspired workouts from Bob Harper. So I have been doing these in addition to my run training. They are short workouts, but can be brutal. And I highly recommend them to anyone that is into working out but doesn't have a lot of time. What I don't like about these workouts is that all four DVDs have the same warm up, which is a good warm up but when you are doing them five days a week, something different would be welcomed. I am use to workouts that have a cool-down and stretch, these don't, so I sometimes do a short WAH or a 10 minute Yoga stretch. And BURPEES! They aren't in every workout but in a lot of them and I hate them. I guess Bob loves them. We do like Bob and his workouts though as they are challenging and for me, I am way out of my comfort zone.
Between my husband and me, we have several programs, P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Asylum, Rushfit, Bob Harper's Inside Out Method, I have a few Denise Austin, Jillian Michaels, and a ton of WAH DVDs with Leslie Sansone. For Christmas, Sean and Hannah gave me Jillian Michaels' 90 Days Body Revolution and I did that program after we got back from running the Tinker Bell Half.
For me, this program was no joke but after 90 days I was able to do a few things that I never thought I would be able to do. I still need to work on doing a few other things better. I am thinking about repeating this program starting in March of next year, after I finish the Glass Slipper Challenge. Jillian also loves burpees. (Insert angry face here.)
Recently I received the newest WAH DVD. I am trying to work it into what I am already doing. There are two workouts, a 30 minute walk and a 30 minute firming workout. The DVD recommends Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the walk, and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for the firming….which are my usual running days. But I also don't want to over do it, so we shall see.
30 Days of Blogging Challenge
Posted in Uncategorized on September 1, 2013| Leave a Comment »
(Day 1)
I saw this on another blog and thought why not try it myself? So yes, I totally stole the idea. The concept is to blog every day. Should be easy enough, right, even for a lackey like me. Ha! I decided to try this for the month if September since it is my favorite month of the year and we celebrate the most important day in the life of my parents. The day I was born! 🙂 Just kidding, even though I am sure my mother would have agreed.
I've been making mental notes about topics other than just a snap of stitching every day so hopefully it will interest the few people who stop by to read my blog.
More painting
Posted in Around the garden & home, Hobbies on August 23, 2013| Leave a Comment »
When we re-decorated the family room we discussed painting the shelf thingie in the room just at the bottom of the stairs sort of across from the family room. We had some small jars of paint samples so I decided to use one of them for this small project. I learned something while doing this… I am not very good at painting. I started this on Monday after Hannah went back to school and finished the touch up today.
The before…
And after…
I need to put back my collection of Mary Moo-moos that I display on here. The shelves are not very deep and they it perfectly.
The spare room
Posted in Around the garden & home on July 25, 2013| Leave a Comment »
This room needs some work, but it's okay for now. We don't have a lot of company so it will serve it's purpose when we do. The bed and desk armoire that's in this room now was in the room across the hall that we converted into a fitness room. We had just a queen frame with mattress and box spring and a simple computer desk before the switch. This is also the room Sean uses the closet and dressers in for his clothes.

Low mileage on a used car is a strong selling point. But, has the vehicle been "Clocked"? – to hide the car's correct mileage – if so, it won't be worth the asking price.
What is clocking?
Clocking is the common name for falsely lowering the actual mileage of a car to increase its value. It is done by physically changing the position of the digits on the milometer, or by reprogramming the display with a computer.
Signs a car might have been clocked
Be aware; there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles affected by clocking in the UK. Here are the vital signs for which you might look out. Remember to ask: is the mileage genuine?
- If the wear and tear of the car are substantial, then does the mileage look too light?
- Have pedal rubbers, the gear knob and the steering wheel been changed to remove worn out surfaces?
- Does mileage on the latest MOT certificate contradict the milometer reading?
- Does mileage on the service documentation contradict the milometer reading?
- Check the MOT certificates. The MOT certificates record the mileage, so check to see there are no signs of where the miles covered is grossly inconsistent.
If you are not satisfied with what you see, leave and move on. The next car will be better!

As readers of P&T, you are probably aware of the abundance of articles that have been published on the topic of reducing medical errors and improving patient safety. What, then, makes the Wall of Silence different from all the other published materials and worthy of your time?
The authors, both of whom have written in the health care field, developed the book out of their own experience of losing a friend from medical errors that could have been avoided. As they served as patient advocates for their dying friend, they realized that although the U.S. health system offers excellent care, it is also beset by the occurrence of numerous errors that are potentially devastating to patients and their families.
The authors witnessed firsthand their friend receiving almost three times the usual dose of a prescribed drug; illegible prescriptions; fatigued health care workers; and communication failures between nurses and physicians. It is with a deep passion that they discuss how commonplace medical errors are in the health care system and how the culture of medicine creates a barrier to adequately addressing the problem of avoidable medical errors. The book also reminds the families of patients who have experienced medical errors that they are not alone in coping with such tragic incidents.

The text details several accounts of other victims of medical mistakes. Examples include a 94-year-old grandmother who died of complications following routine surgery after she fell out of bed and broke her hip, a White House official whose career was destroyed from a botched elective procedure, and an eight-year-old girl whose pains from cancer remission were ignored by physicians and resulted in permanent paralysis below the waist.
By relating examples of actual errors, the authors believe that flaws in the system will be exposed and that chief executives, physicians, and patients will be compelled to work together to make changes to improve the system.
The Wall of Silence is well written and paints an overview of the major issues surrounding patient safety that the average reader will be able to appreciate. The book contains 11 chapters and four main parts. The first section, entitled "Breaking the Silence," discusses the prevalence of medical errors and their impact on individuals. In addition to citing the national statistics on medical error, this part details the scope and nature of mistakes, presents stories of patients who have suffered from errors, and notes that doctors and nurses are often witness to mistakes but are reluctant to discuss them because of fear of losing their jobs and respect among their peers.
"Why Do Medical Mistakes Happen?" discusses the numerous system failures that lead to medical errors. The authors describe how lapses in teamwork, sleep-deprived physicians in training, nursing shortages, and medication mistakes are contributing to the incidence of medical errors.

"The Silent White Line" emphasizes the culture of secrecy in hospitals and among physicians that leads them to conceal error and shirk responsibility. As in other professions, physicians are inclined to protect each other, even though many of them do witness mistakes. In addition, the training of physicians is centered on being perfect and never making a mistake. For people who are committed to doing things the right way, admitting that they have made a mistake can be psychologically damaging.
The book ends with chapters on "The Courage to Change the Things We Can" and offers suggestions for improving patient safety. The authors recommend a broad array of solutions, ranging from technology to teamwork. They suggest that hospitals adopt computerized physician order entry (CPOE), use simulators for training new physicians and continuing education for practicing physicians, implement bar-code technology, adopt a team approach to caring for patients in the intensive-care unit, and encourage physicians to openly admit their mistakes.
The authors would also like to see patients take more responsibility for improving their own safety. Patients can protect themselves by recognizing the possibility that a medical mistake might occur, by learning as much as they can about the physician who is caring for them, by obtaining a copy of their medical records, and by keeping a journal of all proceedings while they are in the hospital.
This book has something in it for everyone: people or family members who have experienced a medical error, people who are scheduled for an operation in a hospital for the first time, health care providers who face the possibility of making an error, and executives who are responsible for the operations of the hospital. All of these parties have something to learn from this book.
The Wall of Silence represents a powerful reminder of the weaknesses in the health care system and how easy it is to make a mistake, and it elucidates the pain of patients who have experienced a medical mishap. It is yet another wake-up call for everyone who is involved in medical care.

Any divorce can be a complicated matter. Many marriage dissolutions involve the division of many different types of assets, including real property, stock options and investments. When the value of these assets is extremely high, both parties may be more aggressive in pursuing what they believe they deserve, resulting in a very complex and contested divorce.
With over 20 years of family law experience, we at the Law Office of Christina D. Hills, PLC, in Monroe, Michigan, can provide you with the information and advice you need to fully understand your complex divorce matter. Contact us today to discuss your case and options with a skilled divorce attorney at our firm.
Taking On The Complexities Of Property Division
Even in high-asset divorces, property is divided according to the law of equitable distribution. This means that while property is divided equally and fairly by the judge, it may not be distributed 50-50 between the parties. We can help high-asset divorce clients understand how the below types of property and assets may be divided in their specific situation:
- Real property
- Vacation properties
- Cars
- Homes
- Personal property
- Stock options
- Retirement benefits
- 401(k)s
- Investments and IRAs
- Employee benefits
We can also help clients uncover any hidden assets that a spouse may be holding in an offshore account or another account.
The Need For An Experienced Attorney For Business Valuation
When a couple is invested in or owns a family or closely held business, it is essential that these businesses be thoroughly assessed. Determining the overall value of the business is an important step in determining how it is to be divided in the divorce. Obtaining a comprehensive business valuation can be a large and long process, involving forensic accountants, business valuation experts and other professionals who can help. We work closely with clients throughout the course of obtaining a business valuation to ensure it is properly completed and the outcome is thoroughly explained to our clients. It is possible to contest the business valuation and the splitting of the business, if a party chooses this avenue.

A total of 11 people died from the flu in North Carolina throughout the week of Feb. 23 to March 2.
That's way down from the prior week when 24 people died.
Doctors said that good news is to be expected as the flu season wanes.
"Flu numbers are coming down. Visits are coming down and the overall number of deaths are coming down as well. So, overall I think we're heading in the right direction," Dr. Ed Piqueras told ABC 11.
Piqueras is a doctor at WakeMed and works in both the adult and child emergency departments.
So while he was glad to see the numbers declining statewide, he was dismayed to note that three of the 11 deaths were among young people under 24 years old.
Of those three, one was in the toddler age group - up to four years old.
It was the first death in that category this flu season.
There was also one death in the five to 17 age group. That was the second one in that group this flu season.
The one other death among young people - in the 18-24 age group - was also the first in that category in the current flu season.
"We have had a slight increase in the number of deaths in younger people. It's hard to kind of put your finger on it. As numbers are coming down you know this may just be a couple of outliers, but it does remind us that we still need to be cognizant, we still need to be aware that influenza is potentially a very dangerous infection," said Dr. Piqueras.
And even though it appears flu season is winding down, there is still plenty of cases out there.
In just the first five days of March 2018, WakeMed patients have tested positive for the flu.
Dr. Piqueras said the best way to avoid getting the flu is still to be vaccinated.
"You have to get vaccinated. Vaccinate your children. Six months and over..vaccinated. You're not going to get sick with the vaccine. It's not going to give you the flu. But it can certainly save your life or save your child's life," he said.
He said it's also important for parents to closely monitor their children's health for flu symptoms even if they've been vaccinated.

If you have trees near your home, looking out for some distress signals will help you to know if they are about to fall. There are many ways to know if your tree is in danger of falling over so that you can take the right measures. For instance, after the storm is over you may want to walk around the area and look at the condition of the foliage, branches and bark of the tree. If the bark is peeling, this could be a sign of trouble. You can also check if the tree has any brown leaves or dead wood by inspecting it closely using binoculars.
What happens when a tree leans on one side?
Trees normally lean on one side. It's quite unusual for a tree to grow straight. However, when the tree is leaning too much on one side, it shows that there's an issue with the distribution of weight or damage has occurred on the roots. If the tree is clearly unstable, something needs to be done immediately. You may even notice cracks on one side of the tree or exposed roots on the base. One of the ways to deal with this unequal weight distribution is to prune branches on the heavier side of the tree. An arborist will be able to recommend the most suitable method for dealing with such cases.
Managing trees on your property
There are many ways to deal with trees in your property and make sure they are safe. Remember that it is your responsibility as a home owner to identify tree hazards and prevent them. Sometimes regular tree care can help to prevent some of these defects from getting out of hand and presenting serious risks. An arborist is well trained to recognize a tree hazard and then advice on the best method to address the situation.
There are cases where improper pruning can weaken a tree. Most homeowners contract anyone to prune their trees not knowing that if done inappropriately pruning can cause significant damage. For this reason, make sure the person you hire to do pruning work is a certified arborist.
In case the tree is at risk of falling, you need to get rid of any items that can be hit by that falling tree. This includes cars, outdoor furniture or landscape items that are adjacent to the falling tree. If the tree is close to a power line or can cause damage to the home then it can be removed safely instead of waiting for it to fall.
Most people will only take care of the young trees. Mature trees also need to be well taken care of. They need adequate water supply and in some cases, fertilizer and mulch in order to develop properly. Pruning can also be done depending on the season and the structure of the tree. If the tree is hazardous, it's best to have it removed. You can have a replacement by looking for a more ideal place to plant a new tree once the hazardous one is removed.
