Cielo Raises $766,000 on the Fourth Tranche of Its Private Placement and Provides Operations Update
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2019 / CSE: CMC: Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. ("Cielo" or the "Company") announces the closing of $776,000 in gross proceeds in the fourth tranche ("Fourth Tranche") of its previously announced private placement of convertible debenture units ("Offering"). Except as described below, Cielo will no longer be accepting subscriptions for the Offering, however will be doing one final closing of the Offering in the coming days once the funds are received from certain subscribers who have already submitted their subscription agreements. It is anticipated that the gross proceeds for the Offering from all tranches will be approximately $5,100,000.
On May 7, 2019, Cielo announced a private placement offering of a targeted minimum of CAD $1,000,000 in convertible debentures units (the "Unit(s)") with each Unit consisting of one (1) $10,000 unsecured convertible debenture (the "Debenture(s)") and 5,000 share purchase warrants (the "Warrant(s)").
The Debentures bear interest at a simple rate of 15% per annum with the initial two (2) years of interest to be prepaid (the "Prepaid Interest") on the date of issuance of the Debentures (the "Issue Date") by the issuance of common shares (the "Prepaid Interest Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Prepaid Interest Share. The principal of the Debentures (the "Principal") together with all accrued interest exceeding the Prepaid Interest (the "Interest Balance") will be repaid 48 months from the Issue Date unless repaid earlier by Cielo without penalty or converted by the holder(s) thereof any time after four months and a day following the Issue Date at a price of $0.06 for the Principal and $0.10 for the Interest Balance.
Each Warrant will be exercisable for a term of 48 months from the Issue Date (the "Warrant Term") at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to acceleration in the event that the common shares of Cielo listed on a recognized stock exchange trade at $0.50 or higher for at least five (5) consecutive trading days, in which event Cielo may provide a notice to holders that the Warrant Term will terminate 30 days from the date of notice.
A total of $3,591,250 in gross proceeds has now been raised over the initial four tranches of the Offering. In the Fourth Tranche, 77.6 Units were issued, consisting of 388,000 Warrants, and 2,328,000 Prepaid Interest Shares. Net proceeds of the Offering will be used to complete the commissioning of the Company's refinery in Aldersyde, Alberta (the "Aldersyde Refinery"), as well as for general working capital and marketing expenses.
Cielo will be completing one final closing in the coming days to accommodate certain subscribers who have submitted subscription agreements for an aggregate of $1,080,000 but who require a short period of additional time to deliver funds. As Cielo has exceeded its minimum raise amount and is satisfied with the gross proceeds raised, Cielo will not be accepting any further subscriptions and will close the fifth and final tranche upon receiving the transfer of the remaining subscribed funds in the coming days.
In addition to the subscriptions already received by Cielo, the Company has agreed to convert approximately $450,000 of amounts owing to certain insiders of the Company, including Don Allan, President and CEO, into Units under the terms of the Offering, which will be completed and confirmed in the final tranche closing. As such, the Offering will be considered to be a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company relies on the exemption from valuation requirement pursuant to subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the securities of the Company are not listed or quoted on an enumerated stock exchange, and the Company relies on the exemption from minority approval under subsection 5.7(b) of MI 61-101, as the securities of the Company are not listed or quoted on an enumerated stock exchange; neither consideration received, nor the fair value of the securities distributed exceeds $2,500,000; and at least two thirds of independent directors of the Company voted in favour of the related party transaction.
Although the Offering is non-brokered, the Company has paid and may pay reasonable customary brokers' and/or finders' commissions in connection with the completion of the Offering of up to 8 per cent of the gross proceeds raised by such broker(s)/finder(s) and up to 8 per cent of the total number of common shares that would be issued to subscribers introduced by such broker(s)/finder(s) if 100% of the Principal under the Debentures is converted into shares of the Company. With respect to the closing of the Fourth Tranche, Cielo paid commissions equal to $41,280 and issued 661,333 warrants (the "Finder Warrant(s)"). Each Finder Warrant will be exercisable for a term of 48 months from the Issue Date (the "Finder Warrant Term") at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to acceleration in the event that the common shares of Cielo listed on a recognized stock exchange trade at $0.50 or higher for at least five (5) consecutive trading days, in which event Cielo may provide a notice to holders that the Finder Warrant Term will terminate 30 days from the date of notice.
Cielo is in the final stages of commissioning the first phase of its Aldersyde Refinery, which is on track to be up and running, as previously announced, on a continuous flow basis on July 11, 2019 for the Grand Opening of its first waste to high grade renewable diesel refinery. Cielo is also pleased to announce its intention to list its common shares for trading on the on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace, a US trading platform that is operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. Also, Cielo has engaged a US-based consulting firm, RB Milestone Group LLC, with the intention to implement initiatives that are designed to help communicate Cielo's corporate story to applicable investment and media communities throughout the United States. Cielo will pay a one-time fee for services to be provided over a 12 month period.
Don Allan, President & CEO of Cielo, stated "We are extremely pleased with the support we have received from investors in our offering. The interest that we have garnered for our Grand Opening has far surpassed our expectations with hundreds of RSVPs now in hand from federal, provincial and municipal government officials, media, stakeholders, strategic partners and interested parties. Our Grand Opening will take place on Thursday, July 11th between noon and 3 p.m. MT, and will include tours of our green refinery, live entertainment and a Stampede-themed barbeque. Cielo has engaged third-party firms to help with communications, media and government relations and event management. We are looking forward to introducing and showcasing our transformational technology to the world."

An allegation from a school janitor who claimed she was told not to speak Cree was unfounded, a school division in northern Saskatchewan said after an internal investigation.
Jason Young, director of education for the Northern Lights School Division, said a letter was sent to parents and guardians Friday outlining actions taken by the division and the outcome of its probe.
"I think we needed to take the time that we needed to do this right," Young said Monday. "So, we didn't rush to any decisions."
The investigation was prompted by social media posts that gained traction on Twitter in October.
Rose Bradfield is a janitor at the remote Timber Bay School, about 260 kilometres north of Saskatoon near Montreal Lake. She alleged that she was told by the school's principal in September that it wasn't right for her to be speaking Cree and it was rude.
Bradfield didn't complaint to the school or the division, but told her husband and sister about it. Her sister then put the allegation on social media.
The principal denied the accusation.
Bradfield did not respond Monday to a request for comment, but has said she was worried that publicity could cost her job.
She was placed on paid leave during the investigation. Young said he could not comment on her employment status.
A senior administrator, not previously assigned to the school, lead the investigation and multiple interviews were done, Young said.
During the process, he added, it was made clear how important it is to teach First Nation children their language. Schools in the division are using the situation to re-commit support for Indigenous languages.
"This is an important issue to First Nations people and I'm glad it is, and I'm glad it touched a nerve," Young said.
More than 3,600 of the 4,100 students in the division are Indigenous, so are half of its senior administrators. Out of nine school board members, only one is non-Indigenous.
Young said Cree and Dene are taught in many of the schools and there is a teaching assistant to support Cree instruction in some elementary classrooms.
"We define ourselves as an Indigenous organization," he said. "So there would be absolutely no policy that would say you cannot speak the language."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 2, 2019.

You may have been told in the past to "mind your own business", meaning you were bluntly asked to not interfere in someone else's affairs. In this article I challenge this age old idiom and suggest, as it relates to the success of your business, that not being involved with the minds and mental health of your employees can be extremely costly and can limit your business's full potential.
As Donald Rumsfeld, former U.S. Secretary of State once said, "There are things we do not know we don't know." This means that in order to improve our workplaces, we must first step out of ignorance and be mindful of mental health issues. Many company owners and executives are unaware that their employees may be experiencing mental health challenges, which in turn can affect the company.
Mental health disorders affect our family members, neighbors, friends, and employees. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), as of 2016, approximately 1 in 5 U.S. adults (44.7 million) live with some type of mental health disorder. Mental health disorders, biologically based physical impairments of the brain, are an equal opportunity disruptor. This means that they do not discriminate based on age, national origin, gender, ethnicity, level of education, socio-economic background, or the type or size of a company's workforce. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) cites anxiety disorders (18.1% of adults), major depression (6.9% of adults), and bipolar disorder (2.6% of adults) as some of the most common mental health disorders. Statistically, the composition of your workforces may look similar.
The fallouts of employees' struggles with mental health disorders often present themselves in unexplained declines in job performance, increased absenteeism, presenteeism (being physically present, but not mentally present on the job), and turnover. NAMI cites that mental health conditions can have a more detrimental impact to productivity than physical disorders, as well as mental health conditions accounting for 62% of all days out and an 81% loss of productivity because of presenteeism.
In addition, in a recent study on turnover, NAMI found that groups of employees with a depressive mental health disorder experienced a 15% job loss rate versus 3.5% for non-depressed groups. The Society for Human Resource Management reported in 2016 that on average, it costs a company a 6 to 9 month's salary to replace an employee. Based on these statistics, how much do you think undiagnosed mental health disorders are costing your company?
Unfortunately, many employees today are not being treated for mental health disorders even though viable treatment options exist. NAMI cites that for every employee being treated for a depressive disorder, 2.3 (70%) are receiving no treatment. Even in companies that have put treatment resources in place (e.g. Employee Assistance Plan, medical coverage for disorders) the stigma that persists in our society around mental health disorders leads many in our workforce to struggle with disorders in silence in fear of retribution, shaming, and limitations to career advancement.
Now that we know what we know, it's time we "mind our business" and acknowledge the mental health matters in our own businesses. My article in August will explore strategies for addressing mental health disorders in the workplace.
Read part 2: Strategies for Supporting Mental Health at Work here.
Fantastic article. Where my concern lies is when mental health disorders present themselves to others in a positive way. This is the 'overachiever' or 'perfectionist.' Often times their symptoms go unnoticed because they generally receive a pat on the back as opposed to being asked if everything is o.k. This is the person that can experience the biggest of collapses. Are their means available to detect this support of behavior and therefore prevent some of the declines noted in the article?
I really appreciate that you're facing this issue and promoting strategies for addressing it in the work place. Can I ask if you have any suggestions for succeeding in a business, or with a boss, who does NOT acknowledge the impact of an employee's mental health even once it's been addressed? What might be a helpful next step for balancing the personal struggle and professional obligations?
Hi Eddie,
Thanks for the great question. I think this probably falls under the category of what individual employees can do to monitor and manage their own mental health to ensure that it doesn't get to the point described in your question. While not within the scope of my first two articles, I think an article on individual management of their mental health would make a great future article.
Great article Bob!!!

The average viewer of Saint Mary's University Art Gallery's new exhibition would be forgiven for taking a bit of a double take.
Instead of the expected gallery exhibition, with paintings, drawings or sculptures artfully displayed throughout the space, the first impression of Grand Theft Terra Firma by British Columbia artists David Campion and Sandra Shields, is that of an historical museum display.
You know the type: panels with photographs of re-enactments of historic events and lots of descriptive text. There are even panels with pictures of historic artefacts, again accompanied by lots of text. Has the gallery been given over to a worthy historical endeavour for the summer? The history of the neighbourhood on which Saint Mary's University stands, perhaps? Well, no. Even a cursory reading is enough to make one realize that they are in the presence of an installation that is by turns funny, sad, tragic and, ultimately, humbling.
This exhibition does mimic the display techniques of the history museum, with multiple panels and very few actual objects. But as one begins to read the panels, which depict people in 19th century costume and objects from the same period, one realizes that there is quite another game going on.
The British had a name for the geo-politics of their Empire in the 19th century: the Great Game. Grand Theft Terra Firma is an element of that game, one that had, and is still having, profound existential effects on Canada and all who live here.
You see, this exhibition is also based on a popular computer game: Grand Theft Auto. And as with that violent, amoral, and ubiquitous universe, Grand Theft Terra Firma promises rewards if one plays the game with the proper attitude. The prize? Canada. It is colonization as entertainment, replayed over and over as a strategy game.
The rules are simple: play your part in the "big heist" to get your piece of the pie. The victims are the first nations people who already inhabit the "virgin" territory you covet—in this case S'ólh Téméxw, which we know as British Columbia's Fraser Valley.
As with a role-playing game, the players are invited to become a character: the settler, the land surveyor, the priest, the whiskey trader, and more. "Power objects" are collected, which help the player in their assigned roles in the heist: a gin bottle, a shotgun (the whiskey trader is encouraged to collect at least five of these before they can feel safe), a Hudson's Bay Blanket, a gold pan, a cannon, and so on. The objects depicted are actual historical artefacts, the people in costume are either actors or members of the Stó:lō nation.
In addition to the player cards and power objects, the artists have created numerous game scenarios, which lay out many of the possible outcomes along the way to recreating the great heist. One warning? Avoid compassion or becoming too close to the Stó:lō people – recognizing them as fellow human beings deserving of respect and dignity will see you ejected from the game.
There are also set pieces, the backdrop against which the player photographs were taken, and a room designed as an office. The artists strategy of keeping a cutting edge hidden in their humour is well evident in another object in the exhibition: a full-scale outhouse. The wooden structure seems benign, even nostalgic until one looks at the newspaper article pinned over the walls, each with a red circled story highlighting the racist attitudes and judicial blindness vis a vis the treatment of first nations peoples that were rife in 19th century Canada. Reading the walls, one is forced to admit that perhaps less has changed then we would hope.
Grand Theft Terra Firma retells Canadian history, putting one of our cherished national myths, the building of Canada, into a light that many of us will be discomfited by. Discomfiture, of course, is one of the things art does best, moving us out of our comfort zones and into areas where there are fewer certainties and more compromises and accommodations. Thought provoking and memorable, Grand Theft Terra Firma is a show you shouldn't miss. It continues through August 5.

A small memorial is seen on the grounds of the Orlando Regional Medical Center where many of the victims from the Pulse mass shooting were taken June 13, 2016 in Orlando, Florida.
The panic was palpable. The terror both mother and son felt evident in every word. The searing, wrenching flurry of texts punctuated by pockets of silence while the killer roamed, leaving the man paralyzed with fear and his mom miles away, wondering with worry -- was one of the most powerful exchanges I have ever read. Each weighty word, real-time text between a mother and her 30-year-old son who hid in the bathroom of The Pulse nightclub in Orlando -- hit like a brick. Heavy, crushing, final.
I read the story while sipping my morning tea. Daily ritual. It rattled me to my core. Leaving me to try to imagine what these families whose young relatives lives were abruptly shortened at the hands of a madman ---- while in the midst of enjoying themselves in a social atmosphere ---- what smothering grief these loved ones would suddenly know. Senseless. Final.
It was apparently the 14 time during his presidency that Barack Obama had to find words to address a mass shooting spree on American soil. Hundreds of lives lost. Many more families and friends left wondering why.
Reading the article describing in sharp detail the text change between mother and son, any parent can't help but insert themselves in a similar scenario. The one where a child texts you to say they have arrived somewhere perhaps, or they will be late, or their plans changed ---- whatever. Texts in my house are a several-times-a-day occurrence -- each child with whatever is important to them communicating that to me or my husband.
Just imagine that numbing fear the mother most have felt in the middle of the night receiving those short messages painting a picture of the terror her son was feeling. The chilling thought that he was trying to hide, save himself in the bathroom of The Pulse while he heard rounds of gunfire spraying young bodies on the other side of a thin wall. What sheer horror.
All of which begs several questions:
Should parents just stop trying to explain such inexplicable behaviour to children? Most adults don't understand it, how in the world can we be expected to explain it to our children.
Is ignoring these types of utterly incomprehensible acts a better course of action to preserve the 'childhood innocence' that appears increasingly to be fleeting?
Ask how can we possibly protect our children from such acts of outright hate? Hide the macabre headlines from them? Outlaw TV news-watching inside the home? Better yet cancel the cable subscription and put parental controls on internet use?
What advice should a parent give to their child who is experiencing some injustice be that in the schoolyard, online, at work, wherever? An eye for an eye is sure to do more harm than good, isn't it?
How should parents who wonder 'what else can I do' to ensure my kids are protected be answered? Terrorism is on one end of the spectrum, without question. But there are other acts, violent and non-violent, that happen in our communities, backyards, homes daily.
How are we, in our own way, contributing to this type of behaviour proliferating in society today?
Do we behave in selfish, self-centred, or dishonest ways and hope that because no one notices, that's OK? Do we say one thing and behave in the opposite manner? Do we derive pleasure from trying to one-up others, gain the advantage hand somehow -- be that in a sports arena, climbing up the corporate ladder, in traffic or on social media?
Do we knowingly or unknowingly sow the seeds of intolerance through small, 'insignificant' actions that will one day add up?
What is each of our role in the violence that surrounds us in society?
Is it accurate to assume that we all have a role?
Are we willing to modify our own behaviours in order to make a change for the greater good?
Does Eddie Justice's final texted words to his mom Mina move us to action?
"Mommy I love you,"
"In club they shooting."
"Trapp in bathroom," he wrote. "He's coming. I'm gonna die."

Appendix 1
Conference 2016 referred the following memorial to the Council on Social Responsibility;
" In the light of recent medical reports on the impact of the consumption of alcohol on health, the Representative Session of the Belfast District Synod requests Conference to ask the Council on Social Responsibility to re-examine
Alcohol Facts and Figures
Some key statistics around alcohol use in Ireland the United Kingdom are listed below. They outline harms associated with alcohol misuse, and will cause concern to the interested reader. The recent UK Chief Medical Officers' guidelines on low risk drinking are listed in the reference section below, and these note that the previously reported health benefits of regularly consuming a small amount of alcohol have been over-estimated
Most of us know someone who struggles with alcohol abuse and as social use of alcohol has become more common in evangelical circles, it could be someone within the church or within your family. People often ask, how do you help someone in this situation? Am I over reacting?
Here are some simple guidelines;
Alcohol Advice
The Bible leaves us in no doubt about drunkenness – it is forbidden (Rom 13:13; Gal 5:21; 1 Pet 4:3). Every reference to drunkenness is either with disapproval or is part of a tragedy (e.g. Gen 19:32; Deut 21:20). 1Cor 5:11 lists drunkenness as one of the sins for which excommunication may be the necessary act of church discipline. Christians who acknowledge the Bible as their sole rule of faith and practice must never be drunk.
The definition of drunkenness may vary – the boys on a night out will have a different standard from the officer from traffic branch!
While drunkenness is forbidden, all use of alcohol is clearly not. One preacher said that Paul's suggestion for Timothy to 'use a little wine for the sake of his stomach' meant that Tim was to use it as a rub! His interpretation is surely wrong!
Nevertheless, those who argue for total abstinence have some reasonable scriptural arguments. The journey to the promised land was alcohol free (Deut 29:6). Priests on duty were to be tee-total on duty (Lev 10:8f). There were those who would choose not to use alcohol, Daniel and his friends; the Nazarite (Num 6) – John the Baptist was one such. In Rom 14 Paul makes a very powerful argument that in love for a brother or sister it would be better to refrain from something legitimate rather than cause the brother or sister to stumble.
Alcohol and the Methodist Church
In times past Methodist ministers were required to preach a sermon at least once a year on temperance. We might wonder how often that was observed in the past but it is certainly not common now. One minister who has preached on the topic, not every year, but at least once in each circuit to which he has been stationed observed that the most frequent comment after the sermon was, 'it's a long time since we heard a sermon on that subject.'
For those who would like to better understand the history of Irish Methodism's attitude to alcohol the November 2008 edition of the Methodist Newsletter will provide very helpful and interesting reading. For our purposes here only a very few and brief points will be made.
The editorial in that edition begins with this,
"There was a time when one of the things which people knew about Methodists was that they were against 'drink'; indeed for some it was about the only thing they knew about the successors of John Wesley. It was not a bad reputation but it is one which is no longer reflected in the personal habits of a very large proportion of Methodist members."
The attitude to alcohol has shifted several times in our history. In the time of Wesley, ale and wine were commonly consumed (in moderation) while distilled spirits (gin in particular which was cheap at the time) were roundly condemned.
Through the 19th century temperance became a more important issue for many. The word temperance is a 'slippery one' because to many it means moderation but to others (such as the Irish Temperance League, founded in 1850) it meant, and still means, total abstinence. At the end of the 19th century the Conference removed permission to use port wine in communion and insisted on the use of unfermented grape juice; communion should be accessible to everyone including those susceptible to addiction (We do not think that any conference sanctioned the use of Ribena!)
Into the 20th century the temperance / abstinence position still held sway though with less vigour. This is illustrated by the steady decline thorough the first part of the century in membership of the Irish Methodist Band of Hope.
Still, up until recent decades candidates for the Irish Methodist ministry were asked at the start of the process, "Do you use alcohol or tobacco?" If the answer was 'yes' they did not go on in the process. The present candidating process does not require this question to be put to candidates.
It is not known what proportion of Methodist ministers and members in 2017 drink alcohol. We might safely assume that it is a higher proportion than a generation ago. We might wonder if anyone now would say that Methodists 'are against drink.'
Some would pose the question 'has the pendulum swung too far?' In our present society where the adverse medical and social effects of increasing alcohol consumption are causing ever more concern, the following recommendations are made for the prayerful consideration of all Methodists.

The business community has offered the Queen's Speech a welcome.
The Speech covered a range of issues affecting businesses, including tax and employment.
John Walker, national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, said: "The first Queen's Speech of the new Parliament has some welcome initiatives which allow small firms to grow to help strengthen the recovery. Cutting the deficit is of high importance to a large number of small firms and we welcome the introduction of the Office for Budget Responsibility.
"Small firms are already flexible employers, employing more women and more part time workers than big businesses and plans to remove barriers to flexible working must acknowledge this. Changes to the one per cent increase in employers National Insurance Contributions will help safeguard 57,000 jobs, continuing to strengthen the recovery."
Jane Bennett, head of campaigns at the Forum of Private Business, commented: "Hopefully, the measures outlined in the Speech will go some way to getting the nation's finances back on track without jeopardising recovery.
"The compromise reached over National Insurance Contributions isn't ideal and will still create a bureaucratic burden for smaller firms. However, it is preferable to the larger increase previously proposed by the last government.
"The proposals for the right to request flexible working shouldn't prove too onerous for SMEs, providing the employer's right to refuse a request with good reason remains. And the proposal for a referendum on any future EU treaty is also likely to prove popular with smaller businesses, who resent many of the regulations imposed on them by European law.
"In summary, the speech didn't appear to contain anything smaller businesses should be unduly concerned about. However, business owners will be in something of a state of limbo until June 22, when the Chancellor will hopefully outline fully detailed taxation and spending policies in his Budget."
David Frost, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), also applauded the government's commitment to tackle the budget deficit and the fact that it has chosen to avoid placing additional regulatory burdens on wealth-creating businesses.
Mr Frost said: "Over the coming weeks, we will be judging the government's performance against the delivery of a clear plan to enable business growth. The age of the public sector has come to an end - and the Government must now focus on measures that enable private-sector growth, which will return the British economy to health."
On specific proposals, Mr Frost noted as a positive move the decision partially to roll-back the NIC increase but urged the government to go further and to scrap it in its entirety.
He said that if "an independent Office of Budget Responsibility enables clear forecasting and transparent and swift action on the deficit, businesses will support it".
Referring to the Financial Reform Bill, Mr Frost continued: "As the government moves to reform financial services, it must ensure that there are no unintended effects on British companies, which depend on a stable banking system for credit and financing. Moves to improve access to finance for smaller firms - the engine room of our economy - will be welcomed by many within our membership."
But he called on the government to introduce safeguards to its plans for capping migration: "Business's top priority is to ensure that it can hire appropriately skilled workers when they are needed - a critical factor in Britain's future economic growth. An arbitrary cap on economic migrants would have consequences for businesses that need specialist skills at a specific time. We urge Ministers to exempt highly-skilled workers from any migration cap, so that British companies can hire the best possible staff to promote growth."
John Cridland, the CBI's deputy director-general, said: "The coalition is right to put deficit reduction and securing economic growth at the heart of its first Queen's Speech.
"The programme that has been set out is ambitious and far-reaching with a clear sense of renewal. Businesses recognise their responsibilities and look forward to playing their part."
On the tax and benefits system, Mr Cridland commented: "Businesses are greatly encouraged by the prospect of a five-year roadmap for reform of the corporation tax system. Certainty, clarity and simplification would be welcomed."
He went on to say: "We have been calling for an independent body to oversee the government's economic and fiscal forecasts for some time. The creation of the Office for Budget Responsibility will help inject additional credibility and transparency into the government's forecasts.
On proposed planning measures, Mr Cridland had this to say: "Business needs a planning system that is predictable, clear and can deliver decisions in a timely manner. The government has some innovative ideas to incentivise local authorities to accept development.
"However, as the UK needs a major renewal of its infrastructure over the next few years, the challenge will be to persuade local communities to accept major developments, such as new power plants and transport links."
He also had a warning over the possible impact on business rates of changes to local government financing: "It is important that the proposed review of local government finance does not lead to the relocalisation of business rates. Business rates are a significant cost for companies and as such should be standardised to provide clarity and certainty for financial planning."
Mr Cridland also said that the CBI supports "the idea of creating a single welfare-to-work programme where providers are given the freedom to tailor a package of personalised support to meet a client's unique needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach".
Miles Templeman, the director general of the Institute of Directors, insisted that ministers stick to the implied commitment in the Conservative manifesto of a 4 to 1 ratio of spending cuts to tax rises.
He said: "We believe the UK has a problem of too much tax already and have argued throughout that the deficit should be tackled with the vast majority of the emphasis on public spending reductions. This is the best way of securing recovery.
"We welcome the commitment to a 'simpler' tax system and look forward to seeing the government deliver. An obvious simplification measure that could be implemented now is a lowering of the headline rate of corporation tax financed by the removal of some capital allowances."
But Mr Templeman expressed concerns over the government's plans on flexible working rights and measures to tackle pay gaps.
He concluded: "These are not areas where the state should be intervening and we wonder how new regulations would be squared with a commitment to introduce 'one in one out' regulatory budgets. However, we reserve judgment on these proposals until we see more detail and look forward to discussing all these points with ministers."

I I will not be having BT at the new house (even though it has FTTP already installed!)
Thanks all.
You are going to have a very limited choice of providers who sell FTTP.
Yes, I have already looked, and although the idea of 300Mbps (with faster in future) sounds lovely, its basically £80 per month from BT and I cannot justify it compared to the £28.99 I was paying for 76Mbps
I think its luck of the draw a lot of the time, my parents have been extremely happy with Pluisnet, and have renewed a couple of times with them, I tried them before BT and had issues, I continued to have issues with BT on Infinity, but one thing I am aware of, if there is any issue other than your account and billing, it is essentially BT or OpenReach that are handling it, PLusnet etc only get the service from the BT network as far as I know? VM are different in that they provide their own network, I am not saying they are any better of course 🙂
I checked my offer, it showed the discounted price I was on, and showed that it would stay the same, without the increase, if I accepted the offer, which I did. However, I notice now if I check the same link it shows my package as being at the full non-discounted price. I bit worrying, except I have the email showing the new contract. I expect I will have to wait for my next bill to make sure everything is OK. Pity package details on MyBT don't show the costs.
I'm not sure if already mentioned, but has anyone noticed or been contacted about price increases for BT TV bolt-ons?
I was looking through the deals, found a great 12 month deal for Entertainment Plus which is less than my broadband contract length anyway, so I ordered it. In the order confirmation email it states that the BT HD Extra bolt-on will be increasing to £6.50 from 7th January, which I have seen no mention of anywhere.
As I understand the bolt-ons are all 30 day rolling, so I suppose I can remove it at any time but it seems odd to have not been announced anywhere from what I can tell.
I currently pay £41.49 for unlimited infinity 1 broadband + weekend calls (yes i know its a lot more than some people are paying here!) but my contract does not end until August 2018, and thats even with a discount from £49.49 that i think the actual price at the moment is. Recieved a letter about the price changes today to tell me that from 7th Jan, the price will be £43.99, then £51.99 from august when my offer ends. In the letter there was a link to a "my deal", which was offering me the same price i am on now, £41.49, with no price increase in january, give options a call, knew this was not going to be much help as i am "in contract"so not much to bargain with at the moment, and they offered me the exact same, stay at the same price with no january price hike deal.
Seems i will have to be patient and wait until later next year to sort out a newer, and hopefully, cheaper, deal!

I recently did this photoshoot with one of our models from Bigley's, to depict one of this seasons most prominent trends- chambray!
The early days of spring are some of the most unpredictable when it comes to the weather forecast- and thus your outfits can be equally unpredictable. It's all too common for the temps to rise to 20s one day and plummet to 5 the next. For this reason, having an arsenal of items in your closet that will layer easily, keep you warm or cool you off when needed, and can be dressed up or down is of utmost sartorial importance.If you're stumped over what to wear this transitional time, we suggest starting with chambray.
The reason being that chambray usually has some weight to it, making it a better transitional option then a lightweight oxford. Roll up the sleeves on warmer days, and layer under a sweater when it's cooler.
All items are linked below, and all item qualify for free shipping this weekend only! : )

Rehabilitation of 2 km long coastline completed in Kobuleti
Today, Maya Tskitishvili - Vice-Premier, Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia was visiting the recently rehabilitated Kobuleti castline together with Mamuka Bakhtadze – Prime-Minister, Giorgi Shengelia – Executive Director of the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia and other authorities representing central and Ajara Autonomous Republic governments.
"It is my pleasure to present the completely renovated boulevard to visitors this year, which is an approximately 2 km long section that was subjected to improvement along with coastal protection works. It is an important endeavor preventing future deterioration of the coastline. Through this and similar projects we make possible for local businesses to create new spaces, arrange more commercial facilities and generate more income from tourism" - noted Maya Tskitishvili.
She also stated that from mid September, boulevard rehabilitation works will be initiated in Ureki as well and as early as in May of the following year, visitors will be visiting the renovated beach.
The project was implemented by the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia, cost of boulevard rehabilitation works averaged GEL 9 million. Out of this amount, GEL 2 million was the World Bank funding, the remaining sum was allocated from the state budget.
The project was launched two years ago, however works were delayed, which caused discontent of the local population. In order to complete major section of the coastline before commencement of summer season, last year by the decision of the Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia, the contract with the contractor company was terminated and the State Construction Company undertook to proceed with the works. In several months, boulevard rehabilitation works were partially completed, and this year the coastline was fully finalized and improved.

Experts predict three essential elements about 3D printing industry.
- Increased markets
- the metal quality used in 3D printing will be improved
- The polymers will be also improved
Increased markets
The number of countries investing in 3D printing will increase,according to According to Michelle Bockman, global head of 3D printing commercial expansion and development for HP Inc, the 3D printing industry will know increased adoption . the evolution technology will improve the 3D printing machine productivity and quality;This will lead to decreased cost. the 3D printing product will include different industries such as automotive.
Scott Sevcik, VP of Manufacturing Solutions at Stratasys, agree with this point of view, with a specific emphasis on aerospace. "Looking into 2018, we'll definitely see the acceleration of production part adoption in aerospace, This is seen as suppliers expand use of 3D printing for efficient, low volume and custom production – and as airlines and MROs leverage the technology for supply chain flexibility."
Improved metal of the 3D printing
Metal position is becoming increasingly important," Van der Schueren, chief technology officer of Materialise, which's a 3D printing service provider relayed, said"Metal 3D printing will become more and more of a necessity when solving specific manufacturing challenges and creating customized, complex end-use products.
"A broader range of metals will be optimized for direct metal printing. The conversion of raw materials into finished production products will see significant growth in 2018. Hardware will be developped in parallel to become more capable from both a part-size perspective as well as process control, with solutions like 3D Systems' recently announced DMP 8500. This machine can print a 500-mm XYZ, the largest "seamless" part capability in the industry. This class of development will solidify the position of the technology as mainstream in industries like healthcare and aerospace. In the latter, for example, design optimization of parts expressed by AM to create new geometries has the potential to save thousands of dollars in fuel consumption alone, just by improving the strength-to-weight ratios."
"For thermopolymer 3D printing, there will be a huge growth in the availability of PEEK 3D printing capabilities. Benchtop SLS will begin to offer viable solutions, with four to five different players,"David Sher, CEO and founder of 3D Printing Business Media
Sherechoed that he also believes that construction 3D printing will make a big jump in terms of adoption." While we've seen a number of projects produce technology demonstrations, very few firms have 3D-printed usable structures.

Arsenal icon Liam Brady believes midfielder Jack Wilshere will be ranked alongside Glenn Hoddle, Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney as one of English football's most technically skilful players.
Wilshere returned from 16 months out injured earlier this season to great acclaim, producing a string of fine performances for his club and making his international return against Sweden.
The Gunners' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League via their league position will be dictated by Wilshere's form for Arsenal between now and the end of the season, and Brady says the 21 year old is rapidly improving.
"We were all a bit nervous - it was 16 months - but he has improved with every game and his performance against Liverpool was outstanding," Brady told TalkSport.
"I think he will be up there with the very, very skilful creative English players. In my time it was Glenn Hoddle, Gascoigne came after that and then Rooney, and I think Wilshere will be in that mix.
"I think he is leading the team now, his pace is deceptive. He has a funny running style but he drifts past players - and he's only [young], he's only going to get better."
Brady, who has played a pivotal role in the development of a string of Arsenal youngsters, including Cesc Fabregas, last week confirmed his intention to leave the club after 17 years of service in the club's academy.
During his playing career at Arsenal Brady scored 59 goals in 307 appearances, but his tenure with the youth team has seen him become far more prolific, with the north Londoners earning a sought-after reputation for bringing through the finest young players in the country.
"Liam has a deep understanding of what it takes to discover and develop a talented youngster into someone who can perform at the highest level," chief executive Ivan Gatzidis said last week.
"He has made a massive contribution to Arsenal football club. It will be difficult to find a worthy successor but we will be looking for someone who can build on what Liam and his team have created."
The move is the latest alteration to the infrastructure of the club's academy, with Steve Bould, the former youth team head coach, leaving to fill the role to replace Pat Rice as Arsene Wenger's first-team assistant.

How About a Microsoft-Endorsed Windows Phone 7 Jailbreak?
Many developers are already asking how much the "small fee" will be, and will the tool allow true root access, like the original version did. It's nice to see Microsoft working with hackers, rather than fight a losing battle.
Last year a Windows Phone 7 unlocking tool was released by a group called ChevronWP7. Microsoft ask the creators to shut it down, but this week they announced a collaboration with the original team and a new project called Chevron WP7 Labs, which enables homebrew developers to jailbreak their Windows Phone 7 devices--for a small fee.

Psychological Space
When I was young, I would often spend the weekend at my grandparents' house. On the way in, I would feel I was arriving to a very safe place, everything looked familiar and comfy. Then my parents leave and I would stay with my grandpas. When they sent me to sleep that same room was transformed into a very dark place.
I often tried to control my fears and understand the logic of the situation but I was not able to manage the feelings that would awake.
I was so scared that I ended up calling my parents and beg them to pick me up and take me home.
I describe that as one of the most amazing examples of a physiological space.
Now I can understand that all of those feelings occurred by experiencing the unknown and the familiarity of that same space. That contradictory merge alerted part of my deepest desires and darkest fears.
I have been working in that territory since I started taking art seriously. I started recalling memories of my early days, I wanted to create infantile connotations with my drawings and paintings and I looked at other artists whose work have a strong statement about childhood.
I started reading more about psychology and I began to work with some of those ideas about memory but mostly, I wanted my work to be about me. I decided to be sincere with what I do and to try to resemble my own history because that is all I truly have.
Recently I began to tie a narrative about the idea of a "Family" I am starting my own as a second attempt and I have been thinking a lot about the idealism around that social structure. I have my own idealism; I needed that in order to be able to remarry.
I am interested in creating paintings that have multiple reads. I am creating paintings so I have only the visual elements to play with. I want to use painting not only as a material but also as a charged form so that painting for me becomes a psychological practice.
The paintings I am working on now employ a disjointed narrative. They create a space full of contradictions; they evoke tension between the characters. They bring to mind thoughts about domesticity and the obscure and dramatic role that we all play in our families. I am conscious of the spectator; they will look at the work using their own background. The big problem I have is being able to tell the story of my own family, while at the same time having my family become everyone's family.

8 Great Accounting Software Programs for Construction Businesses
Construction companies have to juggle both operational and accounting tasks through a variety of stages in order to be successful. There are many software packages on the market that claim to make these processes easier. The eight programs for accounting and business management listed below are excellent for construction companies seeking help running their businesses.
Jonas Construction Software

A Greek island and Turkey escape is the best option for seafaring first timers, says Laura Hannam.
Up until now, I'd never been on a cruise before. As a frequent sufferer of sea sickness and loather of organised fun, the idea of being stuck on a floating city never quite appealed.
So, a three-day cruise, travelling to two countries and stopping at a whopping four Greek Islands, seemed like the perfect opportunity to challenge my preconceptions.
As I arrive in Athens to board the 1,664-passenger Celestyal Olympia liner, I feel anxious. What if I get claustrophobic? What if I get the nasty norovirus bug that always seems to be popping up in the press?
Luckily, as soon as I'm shown my cabin, I feel at ease. While my room, equipped with two single beds and a shower, is little more than a cubby, it's cosy and I feel safe.
Exploring the ship, I quickly discover boredom is not going to be an option - there are multiple restaurants, bars, shops, performance rooms (this includes a disco and a theatre), a spa and swimming pools. Most importantly, the sprawling ship is impeccably clean throughout.
Time to party
Our first island stop is the 'party island' of the Greek Isles, Mykonos. Walking down the maze of stone streets littered with high-end bars and boutiques, it's easy to see why this island has an ultra-glamorous reputation.
I enjoy gin cocktails sitting in an al fresco bar, while trendy revellers dance to thumping Eurobeats. And although a 10.30pm curfew sends me scurrying back to the ship, there's still plenty of opportunities to party on-board with a lively karaoke session.
Feline fun in Turkey
Come morning, we're already in another country - Turkey. Disembarking at Kusadasi, I head out for a guided tour of Ephesus, an Ancient Greek city dating back to the 10th century BC. Impressive ruins include an ancient theatre that once seated up to 25,000 and even the remains of brothel. Just be prepared to meet many surprisingly friendly stray cats!
With a few hours to spare back on board before our next stop, I have time for an invigorating massage at the spa, followed by a suntanning session on the top deck.
Finding pure peace
Our next stop is Patmos, a Greek island with a very spiritual atmosphere. Climbing the steep steps of the 11th century Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, I'm blown away by views of far-reaching farmland, dotted with pink island flowers.
Another unforgettable site is the Cave of Apocalpyse, where John of Patmos received the visions which he recorded in the Book of Revelation.
On-board entertainment
With a heavy heart I leave this haven of tranquillity and am thrown into something quite different - night-time cruise entertainment. Sat on a velvet armchair in front of a stage, I'm transported back in time to Vegas showrooms of the 1950s - and although the cabaret entertainment is certainly cheesy, it's also hilarious.
Next stop is Crete, which includes a tour of the Minoan Palace of Knossos (built at the beginning of the Middle Minoan period from 2000-1580 BC), where the legend of the Minotaur was born. Today, 70 peacocks roam the charming ruins.
Picture perfect sunsets
Our penultimate stop is the highly Instagrammable island of Santorini. Yes, it's crowded, but you can easily dodge the masses by wandering the labyrinth of gleaming white streets. The wines cultivated here are excellent and served at many of the bars; I sip several glasses while watching the sun set into a deep blue ocean.
Before getting off the ship at Piraeus on the mainland, I end my voyage with yet another session of karaoke - and even some of the crew join in for a hilarious rendition of the classic tune, Sway.
As I knock back another cheeky G&T, I can't help but marvel about how wrong I was about cruises. They're terribly good fun and the best part - not one bout of seasickness!
How to get there
The three-day Iconic Aegean Cruise with Celestyal Cruises (celestyalcruises.com) starts from E539 (approx £475) per person. Flights extra.

My wife and I have an overstuffed pantry. Sometimes, it's almost difficult to get the door closed because we have so much food stocked away. And, to an extent, I'm proud of this: I often view our pantry as one of the most frugal places in our home.
This often comes as a surprise to people who visit us – and is perhaps a surprise to you as well. Doesn't food get old in there? Isn't it wasteful to have such a huge amount of food on hand? What can you possibly keep in there that isn't wasteful? Aren't there just tons of things in the back of the pantry that are out of date, just waiting to be tossed (and wasting money along the way)?
We actually use a number of tactics for stocking, rotating, and utilizing our pantry so that the food kept inside has maximum value. Here's how we do it.
How We Effectively Utilize Our Pantry
We eat virtually every meal at home
I actually believe this is the key to the whole equation. Our pantry is full, but the stuff inside the pantry gets used all the time. We eat 90% of our meals at home with the four of us seated around a table eating something we've prepared with the food in our pantry.
We focus mostly on staples with a long shelf life
So, what food is actually in our pantry? Most of our pantry is filled with staples that have a long shelf life. Here's a quick checklist of the items that take up more than half the space in there: baking powder, baking soda, sugar (brown, white, etc.), pasta (many varieties), corn meal, corn starch, flour (all-purpose, white, wheat, rye, pumpernickel, etc.), rice, salt (table salt, sea salt, etc.), spices (a huge number), vinegar, and dry yeast. Virtually all of these items last for years – we buy them and use them until they're gone.
We buy those staples in bulk
We buy the staples listed above in large quantities – big bags of flour, rice, and so forth. By buying them in bulk, we're able to save a lot of money on the purchase of such items, reducing the cost of each and every meal that we eat. And, since these items don't get old or wear out (well, at least not over a short period), we almost never throw away any of the bulk.
We use airtight containers for many items
One concern that many people have with large quantities of staples (like flour, sugar, and rice) is that they're targets for infestation – mold, mice, and so on. Our solution? We store all of our materials in jars and buckets that are tightly sealed. This keeps the staples as fresh as possible and keeps them from being infested.
We recognize the foods we like and eat them regularly
We like eating pasta dishes. We like homemade bread and breadsticks. We like simple stir fries with a variety of spices and some rice on the side. We like tacos and enchiladas. We'll eat these things over and over again – everyone likes them and as long as we don't eat them every day, we don't get tired of them. Thus, it makes a lot of sense for us to have a lot of the staples for these recipes on hand.
We rotate our entire pantry regularly
Of course, many items in our pantry aren't such staples – they're other items, purchased for specific recipes or because they seemed intriguing. Often, these items will gradually find their way to the back of the pantry. Our solution to this is simple: about once a month, we rotate everything in the pantry. We pull everything out and put things back in a new order, bringing forgotten things to the front. This usually inspires a few days' worth of dinner recipes and also keeps us from wasting things.
We plan ahead for major disasters
We also keep several gallons of water in our pantry and also some "ready to eat" meals. Why do we do this? In the event of a major disaster, where we might be left without power for a week or two, we want to be prepared with the food and supplies on hand that we would need. This takes up some pantry space, of course, and we're lucky in that we've not had to use the supplies since moving to our home, but if such an event happened, these items would be worth their weight in gold.
We share
Last summer, on a whim, I made six loaves of zucchini bread and gave them to our neighbors. Why? I was in the mood to cook, we had an abundance of fresh zucchini, and there was plenty of ingredients in the pantry. When I gave over these loaves, virtually all of the neighbors were very happy to receive them – and it helped us to build a good relationship with some of the ones we didn't know as well. If you have an abundance of food and an abundance of time, you have the opportunity to share the food you make with those around you – and build valuable relationships along the way.
That's how our pantry rolls.

The iOS1 built-in photo application is getting better all the time, but it only accepts photographs from iPhoto1 or Aperture1 catalogues. Those of us who use Adobe Lightroom2, and have spent a lot of time making adjustments, sorting, and applying metadata feel left out.
Not any more!
PhotoCat for iOS allows you to drag and drop Lightroom catalogues onto iTunes for direct importing to your mobile device. That's it. You need not run an import utility or plugin, simply drag and drop your catalogue and previews onto the PhotoCat file box in iTunes3.
Your photographs will appear sorted by folder, collection (even most Smart Collections), or keywords. You can view them full screen, inspect metadata, or even search by metadata or keywords. A map view displays photos that have GPS information imbedded in them.
PhotoCat has been tested with catalogues of over 100,000 images on the iPad 1. It runs smoothly on the iPad 1 or iPhone 4, but runs even better on newer devices.
This product is not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe Systems, Inc. in any way.
Any deficiencies or other quality issues present in PhotoCat should not reflect upon Adobe Lightroom or other Adobe Systems software.

America's relationship with Israel will be brought to campus Wednesday in a discussion based on the two countries' relationship, its future and what policy should be moving forward. The event is sponsored by Ohio State's Alexander Hamilton Society, a nonpartisan group that focuses on debate and speaking events that bring international diplomacy and economic topics to students' minds.
The discussion, which will start at 6 p.m. in University Hall 014, comes at a time when U.S. involvement in the Middle East is increasing and the relationship with the Israelis is sure to play a key role in foreign policy decisions in the region.
"Having productive discussion about Israel in a civil manner can be difficult," said Michael Hurley, a third-year in political science and president of the Alexander Hamilton Society. "The U.S.-Israel relationship is always a relevant topic, and providing an arena for healthy debate on it was something we felt we could and should organize."
The event will feature a debate between two speakers, Steven David, professor of international relations at Johns Hopkins University, and John Quigley, professor of international and comparative law at Ohio State.
David, whose work focuses on American foreign policy in the Middle East, will discuss the importance of supporting Israel, both strategically and based on shared values.
"There needs to be a fundamental bedrock supporting of Israel because Israel serves America's interests," he said. "Israel is an imperfect country to be sure but it is still a liberal democracy. People can vote freely, it has a robust process and independent court system, it's a nation of immigrants. In fact, I think, even more than the strategic ties the sense of shared values is what unites America and Israel the most."
David said Israel provides stability in a region that, on the whole, lacks any sense of real stability.
"We're seeing key countries in the Middle East torn apart," David said. "Israel is a bulwark against this sort of thing."
Meanwhile, Quigley will be arguing the other point of view — that it is time to rethink the unilateral support the U.S.has given the Israelis over the years.
"I think there is coming to be an awareness that the one-sided support we've given to Israel is not in our best interest," Quigley said. "I think there is a good possibility that we will see at some point a shift away from the massive economic aid we give to Israel."
Quigley said the fact that the current status-quo is hurting the U.S. will eventually change the dynamic of the relationship.
"You also see the more that we do in supporting Israel over Palestine works against our interests," he said. "We have military commanders that have bemoaned the fact that they have trouble dealing with situations in Iraq and Afghanistan because we are perceived so strongly as being in support of Israel and against the Arab side."
Quigley also said he feels people are starting to take note of the plight of the Palestinian people, which he thinks could ultimately change America's decisions in the Middle East.
"They have essentially been forced out of their own country and into refugee camps in neighboring countries," he said, referencing the Palestinians. "They are just trying, to some degree, to get back to their own country to the extent that that's feasible after so many years have passed."
The debate between David and Quigley will be moderated by Pete Mansoor, a professor of history and the chair of military history at Ohio State, and will allow for audience input.
"They're both eager to participate because they enjoy interacting with and educating interested young people," Hurley said. "Traits which I'm sure will make the Q&A especially enlightening."
