Description of operation:
The FPC-55 produces continuous strings of pocket springs.
The wire is fed from the swift and wound to springs. After the coiling process, the springs are heat-treated between two electrodes. This heat treatment relaxes the springs that have become tense from the coiling process and reduces the setting loss. Subsequently, they are cooled in the cooling channel by means of an air ventilator and then conveyed to the spring setting station.
The springs are compressed and inserted into the folded band of fabric, which comes from the roller and has been horizontally folded over a forming shoulder. The ultrasound welding units then create the pockets. The resulting continuous strings of pocket springs are cut to the desired lengths in the cutting device.

NYTimes Sags: 100K Paid Digital Subs, And No Loss To 'Premium' Advertising
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of the New York Times (NYT) are down 24 cents, or 2.6%, at $8.88 after the company this morning reported Q1 revenue of $267 million, a hair under the consensus $269 million estimate, and EPS of 2 cents, as expected.
Total revenue was down 3.6%, with Digital advertising revenue up 4.5% but overshadowed by a 7.5% drop in print advertising, for a total drop in advertising revenue of 4.4%.
Circulation revenue overall dropped 3.7%. However, The Times said it surpassed 100,000 paying digital subscribers since it erected its paywall last month. During a conference call following the results, Times CEO Janet Robinson said the company will incur $13 million in incremental operating expenses the rest of this year to support the paywall, most of that for the cost of promoting the product.
Robinson said that declines in traffic on The New York Times Web site had been "in line with our expectations, while declining to elaborate with specific numbers because, "the current highly charged news cycle makes comparisons difficult."
Addressing the potential loss of advertising as a result of reduced visits, Robinson said that the loss would come in the form of unsold "remnant" inventory, not at the expense of "premium" advertising:
In thinking about these declines, it is important to understand that a segment of inventory on any site goes unsold on the premium market and is instead used for remnant programs or promotional. In our new online model the revenue stream we are adding direct from consumers in the form of subscriptions is balanced against the loss of some inventory that would have been sold on the remnant market, but we fully expect to continue to meet all of the demands for premium inventory on the site.."
Meantime, newsprint costs continued to rise, up 12.7%, the combination of a 15.7% rise in absolute newsprint prices and a 3% drop in usage.
The Times ended the quarter with $352 million in cash and short-term investments.

The Chicago Bulls announced today plans to unveil a bronze statue of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen that will be displayed permanently in the United Center by the end of the 2010-11 season.
"Not only is Scottie Pippen one of the greatest players to ever wear a Bulls uniform, but he's among the best players in history of the league to play the game," said Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. "He had a tremendous impact in bringing six world championships to Chicago and there is no better way to pay tribute to him than with a permanent statue that honors his inspirational career."
The statue will be crafted by Omri and Julie Rotblatt-Amrany of Highland Park, Ill., who also sculpted the famous Michael Jordan statue which was unveiled in January 1994 in conjunction with Jordan's No. 23 jersey retirement.
"Words really can't express my feelings," Pippen said. "It's an unbelievable honor and truly amazing. It's something you dream of as a kid growing up, but you can never foresee those childhood fantasies becoming reality. You see statues of individuals who have done great things and made their mark on history, but as a basketball player, you never really think about arriving at this point. It's an amazing honor for the Chicago Bulls to do this for me."
Pippen was informed of the news the same week that he was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. In his first year of eligibility, Pippen was inducted on Aug. 13 as an individual player and as a member of the 1992 Dream Team which won the gold medal in the Barcelona Summer Olympics.
In July, the Bulls named Pippen as an ambassador for the organization. In this capacity, he will attend a majority of Bulls home games and spend time with fans and sponsors. Additionally, Pippen will also participate in a variety of team related events throughout the year, write a monthly column on Bulls.com and make appearances on BullsTV via Bulls.com.
"Being back in Chicago is a great feeling," said Pippen. "To be among the fans who made my career so special is a fitting next step for me. I'm ready to be a regular at the United Center again as I get back into basketball. I can't wait to bring my kids around the game. I look forward to working with the younger generation of players, too. Hopefully getting on the court and sharing my knowledge and experience with them will help."
Pippen was a seven-time NBA All-Star (1990, 1992-97) and a member of six NBA championship teams with the Chicago Bulls. He was a three-time All-NBA first team honoree and was voted to the NBA All-Defensive first team from 1992-99. Pippen won two Olympic gold medals as a member of the 1992 USA Basketball "Dream Team" and returned to help lead the USA to gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. He also won NBA All-Star MVP honors in 1994.

Mohamed Wali had been laboring in Iran for seven months when the local preacher knocked on his family's gate back home in Helmand province early one morning. Wali's widowed mother opened the door. "Call your son home," the preacher said. "There is an organization that is helping young men get married."
In this highly conservative country, particularly in its southern parts, marriage largely remains the only sexual outlet for youth. And with unemployment hovering around 35 percent and dowry prices as high as 50 times the average monthly income, marriage — and therefore sex — is becoming increasingly difficult to afford. For 19-year-old Wali, there was no hope at home, not in Greshk, the most violent district in the country. He chose the long path — to labor his way to marriage in Iran. Others may not.
Frustrated with the government for failing to create jobs or control dowry prices, many of Afghanistan's young men remain vulnerable to Taliban recruitment. In highly volatile areas like Helmand, the insurgency is not an alien force but often a cousin or a next-door neighbor, deeply entrenched and easily accessible. The Taliban, meanwhile, has ramped up its psychological operations, positioning itself as an alternative to everything that's wrong with the Kabul regime and selling the battlefield as an outlet for pent-up rage. Sex, of course, makes the Taliban's sales pitch that much tougher to resist — 72 virgins await the insurgent lucky enough to die in the line of duty.
In Afghanistan, marriage is seen as a way to tame young men in the height of their energies. Sudden bursts of anger at home — kicking the dinner bowl after an argument, slamming the door — are smiled upon as youth expressing their desire for marriage. An acknowledgement of the link between sexual energy and violent energy is written into Afghanistan's cultural DNA. But science, too, speaks to that link.
The idea that sexual frustration is liable to boil over into aggressive expression dates back to Sigmund Freud, who theorized that Eros (love) and Thanatos (aggression or the death instinct) were the two basic drivers of all human behavior. Today, scientists still acknowledge the destructive potential of desire. "Sexual frustration is simply part of the potent human drive to survive and reproduce," said Jeff Victoroff, a professor of clinical neurology and psychiatry at the University of Southern California and an expert on the psychology of terrorism.
But it's not simply the lack of intercourse that leads to violence, according to Victoroff. It's the more basic instinct to survive and reproduce. "When a youth perceives that his options for success in the larger domain of survival and reproduction are constrained because of a political issue, one reaction — depending on individual temperament — will be to seek alternative pathways toward that deeply innate evolutionary mandate in the company of political extremists," he said.
The Taliban has turned this instinct into an advantage — offering dignity in this life and carnal rewards in the one that follows. But it's not just about sex. Far from a pure insurgency, the Taliban is increasingly positioning itself as a shadow government, promising to provide for citizens' basic needs where the government has not. Bashing the corruption of Kabul has become a central pillar of the group's psychological warfare — which one senior Afghan official recently called 80 percent of the Taliban's fight.
The Taliban rejects the idea that it is exploiting vulnerable youth. Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban's spokesman, says his movement is fighting an economically asymmetric war and does not have the resources to help youth get married. Even so, he admits that "if we reach a position where we can help youth in finding jobs and tackling the excessive expenses of weddings — we certainly will do that."
In urban areas like Kabul, there are other outlets for sexual energy. The religious Khatem Alnabieen University, for example, has an exercise program for that express purpose. "Exercise on daily basis is a recommendation of Islam, but here at the university it's a requirement," says Abdul Hadi Mohseni, chancellor of the university, which he claims was built with $13 million in cash remaining from the anti-Soviet jihad. "A person needs to free the pent-up energies; otherwise it will lead to inappropriate temptations."
Phone relationships offer another outlet. In addition to constant texting, young couples whisper into phones late into the night. Cell phones have seen an exponential rise in the country, with more than 17 million cell-phone subscribers today compared to 2002, when less than 1 percent of Afghans had access to telecommunication. And for those without a steady companion, there is always a young voice at one of the many phone-company call centers that have sprung up in the last decade. "The boys who work at the call centers have the most number of girlfriends," smiles a young man who works at Etisalat, one of the country's thriving cellular networks.
But in deeply traditional rural areas like Helmand, it's usually marriage or nothing. The creative program that helped Wali get married originated not from the loose coffers of the U.S. counterinsurgency operation or the Afghan government, but a partnership between a little known NGO and an Afghan youth organization. Over four months last year, Comfort Aid International, an Islamic charity based out of Texas, registered more than 50 couples from across Helmand province. It relied on local networks — such as the Afghan Youth Movement — as well as local clergy and tribal elders to compile a list of young men who lacked the resources to marry. The charity chose to target Greshk because the community had suffered tremendously over the past decade and the dire economic situation made its young people extraordinarily vulnerable, according to Khalil Parsa of the Afghan Youth Movement.
After Wali's name appeared on the list, the preacher came knocking. In his seven months in Iran, Wali had saved only $1,000 — a quarter of the dowry he was supposed to pay his bride's family. But the organization offered to cover the wedding costs for 50 couples, and urged brides' families to forgive — or significantly reduce — their dowries. Wali had struck gold.
For all the optimism about the program, however, only about 38 couples showed up on the day of the ceremony. Many remained skeptical of the scheme — or fearful that the ceremony itself, supported by the government, could be a prime target for the insurgents who remain very active in the region. For the grooms who did attend, there was more bad news: The families of the brides were unforgiving despite their promises of leniency over the dowries. In Wali's case, they insisted on the full $3,500 dowry.
With his savings from Iran and the proceeds from a plot of land he sold, Wali managed to pay $2,500 upfront. "On the morning of the wedding, the family wouldn't let go of the bride at the beauty parlor until we came up with the remaining $1,000," Wali's mother explained with a bitter smile.
Nevertheless, the wedding went ahead as planned. Decorated in flowers and ribbons, 38 vehicles lined up in front of the mosque in Greshk. In a brief ceremony that included speeches, a simple lunch, and the signing of marriage certificates, 38 couples walked out of the mosque, boarded the vehicles, and began a new life.
For the young men, the odds that this new life will include fighting with the Taliban are now greatly reduced. Not only did the mass wedding meet a fundamental need — marriage — but increased familial obligation will make it more difficult to join the insurgency. The mass wedding has also had a dampening effect on the price of dowries. "The people are a bit worried now that such mass weddings [are] ruining the market for their girls," said Sayed Saleh, one of the organizers of the wedding, with a smile. "They want to get them married soon."

I AM ABLE Campaign
Commonwealth Youth Council
The I AM ABLE initiative aims to address the marginalisation and discrimination of people with disabilities in the Commonwealth's 52 countries. The campaign involves educational outreach, myth-busting on social media, and leadership training for young people with physical, mental and learning disabilities. As a step towards increasing connectivity of its members and providing a better framework for measuring progress on the campaign, the CYC has implemented Verdentum technology and invited key stakeholders to upload data and information on their activities related to disability rights and the campaign on the Verdentum platform.Currently members from 9 commonwealth countries are registered on the platform and have been sharing information. There are plans to open up the usage of the platform to participants in all 52 commonwealth countries.The platform has allowed sharing of pictures and information from places with little internet, that have been difficult to connect.
By using Verdentum technology, the CYC is able to not only connect their network of participants, but keep track of progress in real time, analyse impact, and have graphs and reports that are updated in real time.
The Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) is the largest and most diverse youth-led organisation in the world. It is recognized voice of more than 1.2 billion young people in the commonwelth. It has established by the Heads of Governments in the commonwealth in line with the Commonwealth Charter.

Explosive new work from Formafantasma
Studio Formafantasma's new series of designs is inspired by the 'culture of lava' in the regions around the Mount Etna and Stromboli volcanoes in Sicily.
The body of work, entitled De Natura Fossilum, is on show at London's Gallery Libby Sellers from this week, and comprises furniture, homeware and more abstract, sculptural pieces.
It was cited by Seymourpowell as one of the highlights at the Milan Furniture Fair this year, where the series debuted.
Taking the distinctive lava-derived black and grey palette, the works frequently use sharp lines and edges, contradicting the organic materials of basalt stone and lava fibres that form them.
The glassware pieces were created from Etna rock, which was remelted and mouth-blown into Lavic glass to form pieces such as box structures. Which the gallery says 'allude to the illegal dwellings and assorted buildings that have developed at the foot of the volcano.'
Gallery Libby Sellers says, 'By returning the rocks to their original molten state Formafantasma are reversing the natural timeline of the material and forcing a dialogue between the natural and manmade'.
It adds, 'The work of Formafantasma is a different expedition in which the landscape is not passively contemplated but restlessly sampled, melted, blown, woven, cast and milled'.
De Natura Fossilium By Studio Formafantasma runs until 12 June at Gallery Libby Sellers, 41-42 Berners Street, London WlT 3NB

FCA interim review findings: Need to study whether 'additional protections' needed for pension drawdown consumers
The UK's Financial Services Authority said today that it has identified a number of measures that may need to be taken to address "some of the emerging issues" resulting from the introduction of pension freedoms in 2015, including researching the unadvised pension drawdown market to determine "whether additional protections should be put in place".
The FCA's recommendations were included in an initial package of findings from the Retirement Outcomes Review, the regulator's first major effort aimed at determining how the 2015 "pension freedoms" have changed the UK's retirement income market.
The FCA review was launched in July 2016. It is inviting feedback on the initial findings and recommendations published today, and aims to publish a final report in the first half of 2018.
Plans to "gather evidence on whether consumers pay high charges" in connection with their unadvised pension drawdown arrangements, and as a result "have ended up with unsuitable investment strategies" topped a list of some of the key action points included in today's interim review document.
Drawdown, the FCA noted, has become much more popular since the pension freedoms were brought in, with twice as many pension pots now being moved into drawdown rather than being used to fun annuities.
Some of the other possible action points mentioned by the FCA in today's interim report:
- Studying whether competition in the non-advised drawdown business might be improved by enabling consumers to "access their savings early without having to make a decision about the remainder of their pot", and/or by making it easier to "compare and shop around for drawdown" options
- Looking at tools and services that might be made available to help consumers understand their options after the pension freedoms and improve trust in pensions, "primarily by building on existing initiatives such as the free guidance provided by Pension Wise"
Early access is 'the new norm"
Included in today's interim review are a number of key findings that suggest how significantly the pension freedoms that took effect in April 2015 have transformed the UK's pension industry.
Key among these is that, in the FCA's words, "accessing pension pots early has become 'the new norm'," with consumers under the age of 65 accounting for almost three quarters (72%) of pots that have been accessed over that time. Among these early-accessers, "most are choosing to take lump sums rather than a regular income", the FCA points out.
More than half, or 53%, of the pension pots accessed under the new freedoms "have been fully withdrawn", although such fully-withdrawn pots are mostly small, with 90% of them containing less than £30,000, the FCA data reveals.
Of those making full withdrawals of their pension pots now that this is possible, 94% had other sources of retirement income in addition to the state pension, the figures show.
Five key issues
The FCA sees five issues emerging from the new pattern of pension income access. It sets them out as follows:
• "More than half (52%) of fully withdrawn pots were not spent but were moved into other savings or investments. Some of this is due to a lack of public trust in pensions. This can result in consumers paying too much tax, missing out on investment growth or losing out on other benefits.
• "Consumers who access their pots early without taking advice typically follow the 'path of least resistance', accepting drawdown from their current pension provider without shopping around.
• "Consumers are increasingly accessing drawdown without taking advice. Before the freedoms, 5% of drawdown was bought without advice, compared to 30% now. Drawdown is complex, and these consumers may need more support and protection.
• "Providers are continuing to withdraw from the open annuity market, which could bring a risk of weakened competition over time.
• "Product innovation has been limited to date, particularly for the mass market."
In a statement accompanying the interim findings of the Retirement Outcomes Review, Christopher Woolard, executive director of strategy and competition at the FCA, noted that the findings have given the regulator "an early view of areas to keep a close eye on".
"We have identified areas where early intervention may be needed either now or further down the track to put the market on the best footing for the future," he added.
"Ensuring this market works well will require cooperation across Government, regulators, the industry and consumer bodies.
"We will work closely with stakeholders to make sure we are clear on the actions we are best placed to lead."

Budget meal plan information
With stagnating wages and food prices rising, more and more of us are having to manage our finances more carefully. With this in mind, we have devised a delicious, nutritious, budget-friendly weekly meal plan. It is carb counted to help those of you who carb count to manage your diabetes, and calorie counted to help you to manage your weight.
General healthy eating information
To help us manage our weight and choose a healthier diet, reference intakes (RIs) have been devised and give a useful indication of how much energy the average person needs and how a particular nutrient fits into your daily diet.
RIs are not intended as targets, as energy and nutrient requirements are different for all people depending on your age, sex and activity levels. The term 'reference intakes' has replaced 'guideline daily amounts' (GDAs), which used to appear on food labels. But, the basic principle behind these two terms is the same.
RIs values are based on an average-sized woman doing an average amount of physical activity. This is to reduce the risk of people with lower energy requirements eating too much, as well as to provide clear and consistent information on labels.
As part of a healthy balanced diet, an adult's reference intakes for energy and carbohydrate in a day is 2000 kcal and 260g, respectively.
The 'budget' meal plan should be adjusted according to your needs. Remember, we don't all need to eat the same amount of calories. Men, who are generally heavier and have more muscle compared to women, require more calories. Young children also need fewer calories than adults. In contrast, older boys from 11 years and girls from 15 years and above, are likely to need more calories. So, adjust portion sizes accordingly to meet your needs.

There's a wide variety of booming new digital industries prevalent in the UK today, and the category of health and medical technologies is one that's making an impact. For the first time, the UK has topped the Times Higher Education ranking for life sciences subjects – with Oxford claiming #1 and Cambridge sharing the #2 slot with Harvard.
The first three of our ten startup programs were winners of the 2015 Medtec UK Start-Up Academy, we discovered in a post by Thomas Klein of EMDT:
Top 10 health tech startup programs:
1. EnXray
EnXray has patented a method, per Edward Cappabianca, CEO, for "generating low energy x-rays to achieve the required kilogray dosage of ionizing radiation to ensure that the bacterial load is reduced to a level that is deemed to be sterile. By enabling sterilization at the point of manufacture, companies will be able to significantly reduce time to market, and free up inventory holding costs that are currently imposed on them by their third party sterilization service providers."
This company hopes to further the development of personalized medical devices, allowing the rapid sterilization of 3-D printed medical implants. It might also be applied in the reprocessing of medical devices, in hospital settings, and possibly for terminal sterilization of some pharmaceutical & biotechnology products.
The British start-up has developed a wearable device that can measure the way a patient's body moves after implant surgery or to support physiotherapy. Specially designed wearable sensors are placed on the limb to be measured, which then stream the data they collect (live) to patient-centric software – delivering clear, instant results. This solution will additionally be expanded to include gait analysis.
As most physios and surgeons must currently take manual measurements, notating results on paper for later reference, this new digital technique could help reduce the administration costs whilst providing better outcome data. With a cost of less than 1-10th of comparable systems, it may also reduce fraudulent and expense claims of injury after accidents such as whip lash.
3. Stent Tek
Currently, kidney patients are connected to a vascular access site, in order to filter their blood. VAs are surgically created and are prone to clogging, with many failing right after they are made. "Our novel catheter device creates a more reliable access site through a minimally invasive procedure that makes it accessible to more patients and reduces cost for the healthcare system," according to Sorin Popa.
[tweet_dis_img][/tweet_dis_img]Popa developed this technology during his Masters research at Imperial College London, and later launched this startup with his supervisor, Rob Dickinson. The technique deploys a stent graft which joins the artery to the vein, using 2 small catheters inserted through needle sized punctures in the skin.
Our next two mentions were first ranked Diamond winners in the MassChallenge UK accelerator competition of over 90 startups:
4. Cambridge Bio Augmentation Systems
This medical devices firm has invented a permanently integrated smart device that provides the interface between an amputated stump and any prosthesis. "The integration allows plug & play prosthetic attachment to give a higher patient quality of life, cheaper care delivery for healthcare providers and lets prosthetic manufacturers form a new relationship with the consumer."
A definite tech-for-good startup which manufactures incubators designed to reduce the number of premature infant deaths in underdeveloped areas. The device can be folded into the size of a briefcase and can run off a car battery, whilst providing the same performance and standards as modern incubation.
'Mom' costs only £250 to manufacture, test and transport. Invented by James Roberts, a 20-something recent grad from Loughborough University (whose design won the 2014 James Dyson award) says, "I was inspired to tackle this problem after watching a documentary on the issue of premature babies in refugee camps. It motivated me to use my design engineering skills to make a difference. Like many young inventors, there have been struggles for me along the way; I had to sell my car to fund my first prototype!"
This news was discovered in a post by James Kirkup – apparently Dr. Tom Insel has left the NIH (where he was positioned as the top mental health doctor in the U.S.), to work for Google. The new division of Google's Alphabet wants to use wearable technology to transform healthcare.
People with chronic conditions will hopefully soon be able to track and report symptoms, instead of bearing the cost of expensive routine consults – and be assured a fast response to important changes which require medical attention.
Enter Dr. Insel, who feels the technology is perfectly suited to mental health. For instance, depression has symptoms which aren't constant, but instead ebb and rise without pattern. Such a technique would allow for continual monitoring in cases such as this. Kirkup brings up the unease we may feel, but is hopeful that with proper rules of privacy and consent, the tech giants will improve desperately failing solutions for the mentally ill in our societies.
Our final three mentions are medical technology businesses in Wales, which are receiving grant funding from Innovate UK:
7. Invitron Ltd
This firm has developed a new technology for licencing and commercialising by strategic partners, which consist of a portable POCT (point of care test) instrument, with a range of 1-use disposable consumables. POCT are one of the most rapid growing segments of medical diagnostics, producing quick results enabling faster results at a lesser cost.
Finding that widespread use is limited by the current device's lack of sensitivity and accuracy, Invitron developed and is producing high sensitivity chemiluminescent compounds that will allow point of care test kits to achieve the analytical sensitivity of a laboratory analyser.
The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) – such as pacemakers – is increasing with an aging population, and while they can improve quality of life, infections related to these devices can be costly and devastating to the patients.
Accentus is using the opportunity to exploit its cost effective and clinically proven Agluna® silver ion based antimicrobial surface technology applied to titanium CIED casings, to help mitigate the incidence and severity of CIED related infection. They plan to commercialise their technologies with licencing and manufacturing arrangements with global CIED companies.
9. Advanced Therapeutic Materials Ltd
This company is using Innovation in bespoke compression garments based on precision 3D imaging of limbs and unique proprietary software and hardware for medical applications, sports recovery and deep vein thrombosis prevention.
A well-proven means of managing and treating a range of diseases, compression therapy is currently expensive and difficult to deliver accurately. ATM tailors seam-free garments to the contour of the patient, ensuring that required pressure profiles are delivered every time.
10. Glyconics Ltd
An innovative diagnostics company using a novel approach to the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory disease. They have developed a portable device able to determine whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is present within a few minutes. Glyconics uses Infrared Spectroscopy to analyse sputum samples for specific biomarkers characteristic of COPD. The technology has utility in clinical management and the development of COPD therapeutics.
COPD is the 3rd leading cause of death, with 240 million people affected. The 2 major clinical problems are that the accurate diagnosis of the disease has not materially improved over the last 50 years and the fact that patients will often present with flare-ups that require hospitalisation.[tweet_dis_img][/tweet_dis_img]

15 "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" (NIV)
Christmas is a time of the year when we do our best to represent the wonder of God's gift of Jesus to us. We hold candlelight services, sing about adoring Him and acknowledge that He is the Savior of the world (1 Jn. 4:14). It is a miraculous story. It is an indescribable gift. The one and only Son of God became man to give His life for us. He came to rescue us from the dead end existence we were living (Gal. 1:4). He came to turn us away from depending on the things and circumstances of the world for our happiness. He came to give us new life (Rom 6:4). What makes Jesus the indescribable gift is the fact that the gift embodies the One who is greater than words can describe. Jesus himself shines forth as himself the indescribable gift — God in the flesh – born to dwell among us (Jn. 1:14).
It is this very act of God's indescribable gift towards us that must motivate us to honor God by giving Him our gifts. God has called us to test Him by giving the gifts He has given us (Mal. 3:10). Our acts of giving demonstrate our thanks to God for all that He has done for us (2 Cor. 9:12). This Christmas, let us be thankful for His indescribable gift by remaining faithful in acting out a lifestyle of giving to God. Let us unite to generously pour out indescribable gifts from the surpassing grace God has given us. "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" (2 Cor. 9:15)

LEASING BACK The home Once i SOLD IT?
The first article can be found here.
And contains recently come to mind when we just have exercised an offer
which has a Charlotte homeowner that is leasing back their home until
they proceed to Arizona in October. Sometimes it is therapeutic for one
to sell your property before you decide to truly want to maneuver. This
regularly happens when you do have a seller that is certainly having
another home built yet they're not certain once the project will be
completed. The other example occurs when a property owner will be
expected to sell their residence but aren't in a position monetarily to
discover another place to live. Is there in any manner you can sell your
house yet go on moving into it? Yes, there exists ...using the lease
(rent) back procedure. Inside a sellers market, purchasers will
regularly agree to permit the homeowner stay in the home for the set
length of time as long as they pay rent or possibly a set amount off the
price. A good example of Rent Back An couple inside their early 40s
contracted to get a magnificent house integrated the SouthPark part of
Charlotte. While their dream house was being built they sold your house
they were surviving in but negotiated a lease back which ensured that
they remain in your house until their SouthPark Charlotte home was
finished. The happy couple paid rent for the new homeowner while they
existed of their old property. The new homeowners also had the bride and
groom sign a release not to hold them accountable for anything that
could affect them when they were renting the exact property.
Ultimately... everyone win! The pair selling their residence was able to
rent their old house until their dream house was completed. The newest
homeowners got the exact property that wanted coupled with their
mortgage taken care of through the former owners. When you are looking
at selling your home from the greater Charlotte region and want to talk about you "renting back the house" give Fair House Offer an appointment at 888-277-2711 or click here

Surprisingly, the most effective new development in North American Health Care is several thousand years old – acupuncture.
Acupuncture is a complete medical system that is used to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being. It is effective for physical, psychological and emotional problems.
Acupuncture originated in China more than 3,000 years ago and due to its proven effectiveness, has been embraced throughout the world.
How Acupuncture Works
Recently, science has determined that human beings are complex bioelectric systems. This understanding has been the foundation of acupuncture practice for several thousand years.
Energy circulates throughout the body along well-defined pathways. Points on the skin along these pathways are energetically connected to specific organs, body structures and systems. If this energy circulation is disrupted, optimum function is affected and this results in pain or illness. Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of energy, which influences the health of the entire being.
Types of Treatment
Treatment with acupuncture needles is the most commonly used technique. However, acupuncturists may utilize other forms of treatment such as moxibustion (a form of heat therapy) and a variety of massage and movement techniques. They may also recommend dietary modifications, herbal prescriptions and specific therapeutic exercises.
Since acupuncture promotes the body's natural healing ability, most conditions can be corrected or improved. Also, acupuncture is a comprehensive system of preventative health care and maintenance. The effectiveness of acupuncture is well documented and extends far beyond the conception that it is only useful for chronic pain management or as an analgesic. Many athletes have discovered that acupuncture treatment helps them to achieve optimum performance levels. Recently, acupuncture detoxification treatments have been recognized as a valid form of therapy for chemical dependency problems. Throughout its long history, acupuncture has established a solid reputation as a system of health care that works.
Commonly Treated Conditions

As call centers become more strategically significant in their service to customers, firms that use an outsourced call center service need to measure performance categories that focus on the quality of services rather than on just the standard quantitative measurements. Companies should consider evaluating such categories as frequency of customer complaints and customer satisfaction, retention, and cross-selling rates.
Bloomington, IL-based Afni Inc. offers a checklist of "qualitative metrics" that go beyond standard operational measures such as cost per call, average time to answer, and call abandon rate. To determine their qualitative effectiveness, call centers can use techniques such as joint call monitoring by both users and service providers. Another technique to gauge qualitative service levels is "mystery customer" investigations or post-call customer surveys. The first step in any qualitative measurement, however, should be to collect reliable data on the call center's current customer service levels. For more information, visit www.afni.com.

From the 2009 documentary "The Cove," we learned about the heinous acts committed against dolphins in Taiji, and from "Blackfish," we learned about the sad fate of captive orcas in marine parks.
Both films have helped bring marine animal protection issues into the spotlight as they have never been before and have encouraged the growth of new groups of ocean advocates.
Yet, as with nearly all issues, there is still much more going on that few will ever see. For instance, orcas and dolphins are not the only animals captured for the purposes of captive entertainment. As the Daily Mail has recently shown, beluga whales are also made victims.
Each year, hundreds of wild belugas are rounded up in a small village in northern Russia called Nilmoguba, situated near the Polar Circle.
According to the Daily Mail, a team of specialists is issued licenses to capture belugas and train them "for a life entertaining humans."
Sadly, not all captured belugas end up surviving their six months of training as they are often too stressed and unable to adapt to their new environment. For the belugas that do make it through, they are transported to circuses and marine parks around Russia, forced into a life of captivity forever.
With photos courtesy of the Daily Mail below, meet 12-year-old male beluga, Petrovich, one of hundreds of orcas who have been rounded up in Nilmoguba. Petrovich was captured last fall and will soon "have a new home in Moscow," as the Daily Mail reports.
Unlike other belugas, Petrovich was able to adapt easily to people and his new feeding regime. However, simply because certain animals are more "adaptable" than others does not provide sound reasoning for taking away their freedom in the first place.

52 places for dementia nursing care
Brockworth House is a purpose-built two-storey nursing home specialising in dementia care, with places for up to 52 residents. The home is set in large grounds that include an enclosed patio area for residents to access safely.
Brockworth House has an Activity Coordinator who produces a calendar of activities as well as providing 1-1 sessions based on individual choices and preferences. These include music sessions, gentle exercises, poetry reading, craft sessions and visits from Pet Therapy dog. The home also has weekly music therapy sessions which greatly benefits our residents with dementia.
Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
Originally opened in 1995, MHA acquired the home in November 2002. Prior to that, the home had had seven owners in less than eight years – so current staff are delighted that MHA has set such a good record for continuity. A refurbishment towards the end of 2007 created three separate units for smaller group living in a homely environment.
One relative commented that she could not imagine her husband being cared for better anywhere, or "with more love".

In late 2018, NEWA's Coordinator, Dan Olmstead, and its creator, Dr. Juliet Carroll, concluded an assessment of a 2017 user survey. They, and the NEWA State Coordinators, reviewed user demographics, website content needs, and user experience before passing it on to Cornell's Survey Research Institute.
The electronic survey included a subset of questions first asked in the 2007 survey. A summary of the 398 participants from 14 states provided a clear picture of NEWA's impact. A more detailed summary has been shared in four posts at the NEWA Blog http://bitly12UatlMMW
Here's the bottom line:
-NEWA is a reliable and trusted source of information among uses.
-All respondents said they would recommend NEW to other growers.
-NEWA provides reliable IPM information to support responsible management practices, enhance decision-making, and increase awareness of risks.
-96% of users say NEWA improves the timing of pesticide applications.
-NEWA has a positive impact on IPM practices.
When putting the above statements into dollar figures, consider this:
Growers are saving money on an annual basis—an average of $4329—by reducing use of pesticide spray.
Estimated savings from crop loss, again on average, was $33,048.
Who uses NEWA? 75% are growers and 60% of them manage diversified farm operations.
20% of respondents managed farms smaller than 10 acres.
57% of respondents managed farms between 11 and 1000 acres.
4% had farms greater than 1000 acres.
Most NEWA growers grew apples, but a majority produced two or more commodities such as other tree fruit, grapes, berries, and tomatoes. Existing fruit and vegetable forecast tools will soon be joined by additional tools for field crops and ornamentals.
NEWA also provides links to other tools such as NOAA radar maps, USDA drought maps and websites that target particular problems like late blight or cucumber downy mildew.

Louisville hardcore legend and Krazy Fest 2011 stage host Mark Brickey took to the stage inside the cavernous cover of Expo Five just before 8PM Saturday night with the news.
"For the rest of the night, Krazy Fest is an entirely indoor festival!"
A ferocious and unanticipated rainstorm a few hours before pummeled the Fest's outdoor set up to a point past quick recovery, and left several bands on Krazy Fest's already tight schedule displaced. But instead of panic, the Krazy crew – aided by cooperative bands and a last-minute cancellation from late-night act Disembodied – were able to rearrange the evening's schedule and still deliver a night of big punk rock, heavy on the reunions.
Young Pennsylvania post-rockers Title Fight – originally scheduled to play near the end of the night – took to the stage while daylight was still filtering into the back of the exposition center. "Thank God we don't have to play after Hot Water Music and 7 Seconds now," bass player Ned Russin quipped in between fast-paced, full crowd sing-alongs. Title Fight looks and sounds best when Ned is in control, his wide frame and big voice doing a better job to anchor the band on stage then co-singer Jamie Rhoden.
Krazy Fest 2011 really could be defined as a festival of reunions – a reunion of the city with the festival; a reunion of bands with live performance; a reunion of older fans with the bands they have loved and missed. Hot Water Music – a band that has been in various states of breaking up and reforming since 2006 – took to the stage Saturday with huge smiles and a crowd already in their palms before the first note was hit. They lapped through various hits and catalog songs and ended the set by bringing up members of Sunday night headliners – and long-time Hot Water Music friends and touring partners – Bouncing Souls to slam out a few final numbers and whip the crowd into a frenzy.
7 Seconds has been playing hardcore for 31 years- and front man Kevin Seconds has been in the band the entire time. Saturday night, he led the group's current line-up through breakneck-speed yelling matches and stopped to banter with the crowd about the band's history and longevity. "I got my AARP card in the mail last week," he smiled mid-way through the set. "I swear to God. That really happened." Within a few seconds, the 50-year-old was screaming like he was half his age, charging through another slam-dancing anthem and later closed the set with a surprisingly straight-forward cover of 80's radio hit "99 Red Balloons."
Boston's noise-and-atmosphere-heavy Cave In closed the evening with a loud and epic light show, long on noise and building tension, light on banter. Midway through the set, the band stopped to tune and made jokes about their unprofessionalism due to being another one of Krazy Fest's acts who had not played in front of a live audience in quite some time.
Overall, Saturday night at Krazy Fest played like a class reunion for fans of music that many seem afraid might be forgotten. Few attendees were causing trouble or drinking heavily. And as the night wore on, it became noticeable that most were 25 or 30 years old at least – many having adapted their tattooed bodies to the business world or wearing wedding rings.
So what is the future of Krazy Fest? If it continues in this decade, will it become a nostalgia weekend and reunion excuse or a vital festival breaking as many bands as it brings back together?

Please be part of us for a very informative night with US State Division Vice Consul – Devin Cahill. Although it started as a specific response to Trump's win, the Women's March on Washington has since broadened its scope to stopping a dramatic clawback in women's reproductive rights and social justice issues regarding race, faith, well being care, immigration and LGBT rights. Though, most Capricorn women are very bold, she will be the go-getter within the family or, the woman behind the scenes supporting her man. These of you who are professional speechwriters needn't look forward to the women speakers you support to talk up. Ask them what their preferences are, and heed them. Additionally, we decided we might like to offer some ideas for those women who are on the lookout for this kind of non secular experience. A commonly up to date map on the march web site allows individuals to search by zipcode for his or her nearest occasion.
We now have had lots of final-minute requests for Marches across the world to be formally affiliated as sister marches" by being listed on the Sister March website (click Find Your March above). Soon the macho man can have his circle of goal narrowed all the way down to nothing – all the ladies and women will know him too nicely and he will not be able to idiot them. Additionally Words And Women shall be busily modifying and shaping the anthology for publication. The march is roughly 1 mile from Pershing Sq. to Metropolis Hall, then back to Pershing Sq., for a total of about 2 miles.
I like to know more about totally different folks through Zodiac signal research and observations. Tracy is a Los Angeles Realtor who was raised in the Midwest, but has called California house for over 20 years. In the golden outdated days males was women males in a higher number, properly, proportionally, as these days there are extra men and women than ever. This song is a tribute to women of all ages who've left dysfunctional or unsatisfying relationships.
Perhaps the march will not only reveal support for ideals which are out of favor with the brand new administration but additionally inspire extra people to enter political life. Now I must add that's not true for all Capricorn women so I need to say that for me, if I do not actually trust who I am with, so far as points with fidelity, then I proceed with caution.
Catherine – It's such a historic evening for women and for America, and I hope that is only the beginning. While the initial concept was shaped as a protest of the presidential election outcomes, organizers say the march is not all about Trump. Nowadays women are savvy, informed, they only see by way of a man's character – and so they like to mock the macho men behind their backs – and share their good impression in regards to the girls' men. Women, males and children all through Illinois spent Thursday and Friday gearing up for their trips to the nation's capital, where they may be a part of an anticipated 200,000 folks nationwide for the Women's March on Washington on Saturday, at some point after President Donald Trump 's inauguration. I do know that I, and many others I know exhibit the signs I mentioned above, however not all.

Here's two things I can't resist; a cushion and sugar skull design. I really didn't need another cushion I've made so many, but the fun of it took over.
What you will need:
2x large felt squares
Assorted felt scraps for appliqué
Assorted embroidery thread
Fabric scissors
Tailors chalk
(I also used Sublime Stitching iron-on designs for the appliqué).
What to do:
Cut a number of shapes from your felt scraps. These will be used to decorate the cushion. Traditional designs are flowers, hearts and diamonds. I used Sublime Stitching iron-on designs to give me the flower shapes.
Next, mark out a skull on your large pieces of felt and add a 1 inch seam allowance – but don't cut it yet!
Lay your shapes on top and decide how you want to arrange them. You will need to do this for the front and back.
Once you have positioned your pieces, take a photo of them so you can remember where they go.
You may wish to use some shapes for the features. I used roses for the eyes and an upside-down heart for the nose.
It's also nice to use a variety of stitches. I used back, chain, feather and rope stitch, plus satin stitch to fill in the black on the mouth.
Now it's time to embroider your small pieces and the skull (not having cut it yet means you can position the felt in an embroidery hoop, which will make it easier to sew.)
You can either embroider the pieces straight on to the skull or embroider them first and stick them on using all-purpose glue. I found the latter best as it means you don't have to sew round the edges to keep the shape in place. Also, sewing two layers of felt can be slightly stiff!
Once you've finished your embroidery and appliqué, place the two pieces with their faces together and sew round leaving a small gap for the stuffing.
Turn right-side out, stuff with padding and hand sew the hole.
