Jersey Foundations | a brief introduction
1. Incorporation
Jersey foundations (like a company but unlike a trust) come into existence following the completion of an incorporation process, and an entry made by the Jersey Companies Registrar in Jersey's register of foundations. This a matter of public record and conclusive evidence that a foundation has been incorporated and that the requirements of the Foundations (Jersey) Law 2009 in that regard have been complied with.
2. Essential characteristics
Jersey Foundations have their own separate legal personality and is therefore able to hold assets, contract with third parties and sue and be sued in its own name and capacity. However, unlike a company it has no shareholders. It is therefore an orphan vehicle.
Jersey Foundations can have an infinite duration. It is not subject to the ultra vires doctrine and so has unlimited capacity and is therefore able to carry out all the functions a corporate body could, save that it cannot directly acquire, hold or dispose of immovable property in Jersey nor can it directly engage in commercial trading other than that which is incidental to the attainment of its objects.
3. Council
Jersey foundations have a council, which is similar to the board of directors of a company. The council must have a qualified member (a person licensed by Jersey's financial services regulator). The function of the council is to administer the foundation's assets and to carry out its objects. The identity of the council members, other than the qualified member, is not a matter of public record.
4. Founder
The founder is the person who instructs the qualified person to apply for the incorporation of a foundation. The Foundations (Jersey) Law 2009 provides that the endowment of a foundation by a person will not make that person a founder or confer founder's rights upon that person, unless the regulations of the foundation in question provide otherwise.
The founder can be given such rights (if any) as are provided by the charter and regulations and, if permitted by the charter or regulations, those rights can be assigned to other persons. Where the current holder of such rights (including the founder) dies or ceases to exist, the rights will vest in the guardian unless the charter or regulations provide otherwise. There are no restrictions on the rights a founder can be given and if required these could be assigned to a committee that would act like a supervisory board.
5. Guardian
All Jersey foundations are required to have a guardian. The guardian cannot be a member of the council unless also a founder or the qualified member of the council. The guardian's duty is to take such steps as are reasonable in all the circumstances to ensure that the council carries out its functions. The guardian could comprise one or more persons or could be a corporate body. The identity of the guardian is not a matter of public record.
6. Beneficiaries/Objects
A foundation may, but need not, have beneficiaries and may be established solely for a particular purpose or particular purposes. For example, a Jersey Foundation could be set up purely to hold the shares in a holding company. The objects of the foundation can be charitable or non-charitable or both. Moreover, the objects can be to benefit a person or class of persons or to carry out any specified purpose, or a combination.
Where there are beneficiaries of the foundation, they have no interest in the assets of the foundation and are not owed any fiduciary or analogous duty by the foundation or by the members of the council, the guardian or any other person appointed under the regulations.
However, if a beneficiary becomes entitled to receive a benefit from the foundation but does not receive the same, the beneficiary can apply to the Royal Court of Jersey for the foundation to be ordered to provide the benefit.
Unless required by the charter or regulations, a foundation is not obliged to provide any beneficiary with information relating to the administration, assets or the carrying out of the objects of the foundation.
7. Charter and Regulations
The constitutional documents of a foundation comprise its charter and regulations (every foundation must have regulations, unless all of its governing provisions are contained in its charter). The Regulations are a private document and do not have to be filed with the Jersey Companies Registrar.
8. Powers of the Royal Court
The Foundations (Jersey) Law 2009 vests power in the Royal Court to amend the charter and regulations and to give directions regarding the foundation (e.g. as to interpretation of its charter and regulations, the functions of its council, and the manner in which the council is required to carry out the foundation's objects).

This GovGirl video explores the pros and cons of each, and covers the best practice of "Responsive Design."
What's better, a mobile app, or a mobile site? And what's the difference again? This GovGirl video explores the pros and cons of each, and covers the best practice of "Responsive Design."
Government agencies are trying to figure out how to adapt and thrive in a time where almost half of American adults have smartphones, 61 percent have a laptop and 18 percent have a tablet computer. When state and local government IT leaders were asked last spring, 39 percent said their agency plans on deploying a new mobile app for citizens within the year.
If you need a quick microsite (a separate site or area within your site with targeted content for a specific purpose -- like elections, open data, etc.), consider using a popular blogging platform. You can quickly make the blog look and function like a regular website. Then, use a pre-built, free plugin that gives you an instant mobile-friendly site. One of my faves for the WordPress platform is WPtouch, which you can find at WordPress.org.
Great sites to strengthen your mobile development vocabulary are A List Apart and Smashing Magazine.

The girls toy section looks a lot different from years in the past.
There's less of a focus on colors and more on careers and creativity.
"The toy aisle is not quite as pink as it used to be," toy insider Laurie Schact said. "There's so many other things that are inspiring and empowering our girls."
On the top of our toy expert's list, gifts that are super-powered.
"I love how they look, their bodies are made athletic, muscular, strong, letting girls know that's how they can be," Schact said. "DC Super Hero Girls Action Figures" are the superheroes we've known for years, in teenage form. It's about the fact that girls can be powerful and can be strong, so it's a great message we're getting."
Elena of Avalor is the newest Disney princess, and the first Latin-American princess. But she doesn't sit in a castle, she goes on adventures that teach her how to be a great leader.
"She really affects change, she goes on great adventures and her music makes things better," Schact said.
Doc McStuffins is a Disney character who wants to be a doctor just like her mom. The toy comes with a cart to help get into character fixing toys and dolls just like Doc.
"We can do an EKG over here, we just have everything that we need," said Schact.
Then there are the engineering toys that were once geared toward only boys. Not anymore. This building set from K'NEX lets kids construct the stage and film their own movie.
"This is also a holder for your iPhone or any smart device, so now you can actually take stop motion animation as well. We have moving parts in here, we have our curtains, we have different screens in the back so it's really a great kit," Schact said.
So consider stepping out of the box this season with some toys sure to strengthen and inspire a young girl.// <![CDATA[ DV.load("https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3224531-Toys-Girl-Power.js", { width: 650, height: 800, sidebar: false, container: "#DV-viewer-3224531-Toys-Girl-Power" }); // ]]>

Madden NFL 12 will present concussions realistically - as realistically as removing a player from the game, forbidding his return, and delivering commentary that highlights the seriousness of the injury. The game will not include suspensions for players who dole them out; nor is there any way to intentionally cause one.
Madden executive producer Phil Frazier shared more details on concussions with ESPN yesterday. "It's not based on the Hit Stick," Frazier said, the right-analog control that causes big hits on defense. "It's based on the area of the collision. So you have to actually hit a guy in the head as part of a tackle for it to even be considered for a concussion, but causing a concussion in the game is rare."
How rare? Frazier said in the NFL last year, there were 25,000 plays run, and 200 concussions. "So in Madden, on any play, there is a .59 percent chance of a concussion happening. It's a very rare injury and it will be rare in the game," he said.
In the NFL, players who have repeatedly delivered hits that caused concussions have been fined and suspended. Nothing of the sort will be found in Madden, Frazier said. "We don't have a mechanic in the game that causes a concussion. There's nothing you can do to increase the likelihood of a concussion. We're not going there."

On a sunny summer day, you leisurely stroll amid the aroma from hundreds of food stands, craving for each and every exotic item engulfing your palate. And sure, you can have them – and have them all if you want – quickly and conveniently.
This is the scene at the San Francisco Street Food Festival where my friends and I frolicked today. Featured more than 100 different specialty and ethnic foods representing the best in Northern California, the festival celebrates the dynamic culture of street food while showcasing a variety of exotic fusion and ethnic foods originating from all over the world.
Street food, sometimes referred to as fast food or finger food, is ready-to-eat food sold at a public place for quick consumption. People like street food because it is fast-to-serve, affordable, and available in a sociable setting. Because of its convenient and casual nature, street food affords people the desire and ability to try and enjoy it in amazingly vast varieties. Its popularity further allows food vendors to explore and develop new exciting varieties. Street food represents the best of diversity and creativity of the modern food culture.
Here are a few items I snatched at today's festival:
The festival is being held from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. today and tomorrow (Saturday 08/15 and Sunday 08/16) at Pier 70 in San Francisco (entrance at 22nd Street and Illinois Street). If you happen to go tomorrow, be sure to go with an empty stomach and a big appetite, because you'll surely be devouring a wide variety of wonderfully creative foods!

Once upon a time in a small time in Germany, there was a shoe maker, shoe maker was his name tra la la... Oh sorry..... wrong web page........... After a week of snow and cold yucky weather, the sun is back, and there are rumours that the weather will be VERY nice after the weekend! Like we care........ we're trapped inside a sports venue 16 hours a day........
So, when we finally got the glue and the painting under control, they started to asphalt the parking lot outside our new office. The whole office container was shaking all day, but it looks nice!
Olaf, Kai and Frank enjoying the returning sunlight, trying to figure out where to go for lunch.
Me myself and I decided that a flying boar would be a good meal. Well....... it's actually a present from Ivan and Dimitry from SiM, good friends of ours here in Moscow.
Jan Schröder is in da house! Yet another media server guru joining the team, and the growing pile of servers that needs love and petting.
Yesterday, the Ukrainian delegation came to visit us to discuss the performance of Svetlana Loboda ( is she HOT or what???) Speaking of, Svitlana Bazhanova, a member of the Ukraine Delegations was one of them visiting. Svitlana was DEEPLY involved in the production in Kyiv 2005. GOOD to see you again darling!
The scaffolding is finally inspected and approved, so we could start hanging the Martin LC screen today.
Borislav Volodin and me shining together in the sun!
So..... If you want to piss Björn off, drop a Clay Paky from a case. He would NOT love you............
Meanwhile, inside the venue, we started to mount the Versa Tube HD from Element Labs on the sticks, that will be interacted with the ribs. That made a whole lot of sense didn't it?

Artist's statement about this work:
Gail Watson grew up in New York, worked for a time in New York City, but in 2001 was living in Colorado. On September 11, 2001, she was scheduled to catch a United Airlines flight to Newark for a visit to her family. She was leaving for the airport when a friend called and told her to turn on the television. Her family fortunately was unharmed, but her trip to New York was delayed for 6 months. Her words describing the joy of that reunion are rendered more poignant by her photographs of a changed city. Gail Watson: "These are photos I took during that visit when the memorials were still growing around St. Paul's Chapel and the twin beams of light filled the sky at night."
About the artist:
Gail Watson began making art as a BFA candidate in sculptural ceramics at the State University of New York at New Paltz. While clay remains her first love, printmaking has been her focus for the past twenty years. A chance meeting with a letterpress printer lead to a grant from the Colorado Council on the Arts to learn the art of printing on her 1887 Pearl treadle press. Now an established book artist working in one of a kind and edition artists' books, Gail's work is in university and private collections across the country. She now works out of her home studio on the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway near Rollinsville, Colorado.

Have a peek inside any baby changing bag and I guarantee that you'll find something from Sudocrem. Mothers have sworn by it for years for treating nappy rash but did you know that Sudocrem Care & Protect* (which comes in a handy tube) can be used to prevent nappy rash from occurring in the first place?
What is nappy rash?
Just incase you're new to the world of nappies, babies and bottoms, nappy rash is an irritation of the skin, which is often caused and aggravated by babies' wee and poo. The rash will look slightly red and can be both sore and uncomfortable for little ones. Nappy rash is extremely common, so don't panic – you're not doing anything wrong! If your baby does have nappy rash, pop on a layer of Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream, as it will help to sooth your baby's skin and get rid of the rash. And if you are worried at all, you can always give your Health Visitor a quick call!
Preventing nappy rash with Sudocrem
You can help to prevent your baby from getting nappy rash by ensuring you change them regularly and popping on a thin layer of Sudocrem Care & Protect. Sudocrem Care & Protect is a hypoallergenic, triple-care ointment that is designed to create a barrier between your baby's skin and any wee or poo they do in their nappies. It has a much thinner consistency than the original Sudocrem and is therefore easier to apply. You only need a small amount (a little goes a long way) and the cream is suitable to use each time you change your baby's nappy.
As well as creating a protective barrier, the ointment also conditions babies' skin, leaving it soft and smooth. I've been using it on Arthur ever since he was born and I've noticed that he hasn't really had any nappy rash at all, so it obviously helps a great deal!
What's great about Sudocrem Care & Protect is that it comes in a handbag / changing bag-friendly tube. You can simply flip the lid up and squeeze a little out, without having to faff around with tub tops or dip your fingers in. Simply squeeze a little out and apply it using gentle circular motions.
Sudocrem Care & Protect can be purchased from most pharmacies and supermarkets. If you've got a little one on the way, it's definitely a must-have product to stock up on!

Emerging above the rolling tumbleweed of prairies or hidden below modern cities, hundreds of eerily desolate former towns are scattered across the United States. Many of the USA's ghost towns were once thriving settlements: they grew quickly, but disappeared just as fast in the boom and bust Gold Rush years, while others have a more shadowy past. From the cursed bricks of Bodie to the everlasting fire still burning in Centralia, read on for the spookiest places to visit in America, if you dare...
Bodie, California
In its heyday, Bodie was known as one of the most dangerous and lawless towns in the west. Maintained in a state of "arrested decay" (a phrase coined by the State of California), Bodie is now one of the best-preserved ghost towns in America, with buildings furnished as they were left and shopfronts stocked with familiar brands. A true Wild West ghost town, it was once home to 65 saloons where regular brawls and shootouts made it a perilous place to live. It is said that the violent characters of its past protect the town with the "Bodie Curse", so refrain from stealing anything, even a piece of rubble, or you may find yourself struck down with bad luck.

Texola, Oklahoma
Previously named Texokla and Texoma, Texola straddles the Oklahoma and Texas borders and switched between both states during its brief life as a popular railroad stop in the early 20th century. This identity crisis did not bode well for its future and the cotton town soon disbanded after its rapid expansion in the 1920s, aided by the arrival of Route 66. Walking through the town today, don't miss the large painted letters on the side of a building that read, 'There's no place like Texola'; although the empty streets and crumbling buildings are surely not what the proud residents had in mind when painting the sign.
Centralia, Pennsylvania
The smoky clouds billowing out of the cracked tarmac of Centralia, a former mining town, belie a phantom presence. If it weren't for the unstable ground and carbon monoxide fumes, the area would likely be a filmmaker's dream. The unearthly clouds are actually caused by a slow burning gas fire; the town caught alight in 1962 and hasn't stopped burning since. Although the buildings have been condemned and the entrance to the town is surrounded by warning signs, you can view the eerie wasteland from Pennsylvania Route 61.
North Brother Island, New York
Situated within crowded New York City, North Brother Island is an unlikely abandoned settlement with a sinister history. Originally an isolated hospital for infectious small pox victims, the island is most famous for quarantining Mary Mallon, or 'Typhoid Mary' for over twenty years. In the 1950s, the hospital became a treatment centre for drug addicts before its closure just a decade later. Today the area is a bird sanctuary. While it's off-limits to the public, this doesn't stop plenty of urban explorers wandering around the haunting hospital buildings.
Seattle Underground, Washington
Seattle Underground is a city beneath a city. In 1889, the Great Seattle Fire destroyed many of the city's buildings. In its wake, authorities decided to rebuild the city two storeys higher to avoid past flooding problems. At first, many of the underground stores remained open, with people climbing up and down ladders to reach the shops below. However, in 1907, the underground city was condemned, although it continued to be used for dodgy dealings and some unseemly business. Find out about the city's frontier past by taking a guided tour around the partly-restored passages.

Rhyolite, Nevada
Founded in 1904, Rhyolite grew quickly in the Gold Rush years but disbanded just as fast in the financial crisis of 1907. Stop by the abandoned town on your way from Vegas to Death Valley and find yourself transported back to the Gold Rush era. The best-preserved building in the town is The Bottle House, made from thousands of discarded beer and liquor bottles, a reminder of the fifty saloons the town once boasted. Once resplendent with marble staircases and stained glass windows, the remains of the three storey bank are a pertinent reminder of the short-lived highs the town enjoyed. Located in the midst of desert plains, the Rhyolite wasteland makes an eerie day trip.
Glenrio, New Mexico and Texas
Claiming to be the first and last town to straddle two states at once, Glenrio was once a popular stop for travellers on the Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and later for motorists on the old Route 66. When the new interstate was laid in 1973, it bypassed Glenrio and forced the quiet town to be silenced altogether. Come off Interstate 40 and take Route 66 and imagine yourself as an early twentieth century motorist experiencing the long open road for the first time. Arriving from the west, a crumbling sign greets you with the words 'Motel, First in Texas', and driving from the east the town bids its farewell with 'Motel, Last in Texas'.

Christmas, Arizona
Not the commercialised holiday town you might imagine, although that may have fared better, Christmas is a derelict mining community (its name derived from the date of the mine's reopening in 1902). Once a thriving settlement, the town's post office was busiest in December, when people would send cards and presents from across the USA to be redirected with the Christmas postmark. It continued to receive Christmas post for twenty years after its closure, and letters with the Christmas postmark have now become collectors items. You certainly won't get the festive holiday feeling, but climb the steep, mile-long road to Christmas and you can walk around the few derelict buildings still standing and discarded mining equipment abandoned in the 1930s.

While Miami and the surrounding areas are teeming with bars and nightclubs, not all of them have outdoor patios. Check out this list of bars in the local area that provide outside seating for the enjoyment of their guests.

Amidst recent foreign reports that the Maldives has awarded development of housing units for 80,000 people in reclaimed suburb Hulhumale to a Chinese state-run firm, Housing Development Corporation (HDC) on Wednesday clarified that the government handed over the development of only 16 out of 62 towers to that company.
"Hiyaa" is the government's largest affordable housing project, which comprises construction of 62 towers of 25-storeys each in Hulhumale's second phase of development. Slated to be completed in 2019, the project was inaugurated by president Abdulla Yameen last Saturday night.
Though the government had not disclosed details of the project, Chinese media reported Tuesday that China State Construction Engineering had secured the bid for USD 434 million (MVR 6.7 billion).
Following the news reports, an official of HDC explained on Wednesday that the government awarded only the first 7,000 flats of the mega-project to China State Construction Engineering, which are to be developed as 16 towers of 25-storeys. The official confirmed that the company has already commenced some aspects of development.
HDC further revealed that the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) has issued a loan for the project but did not disclose the total amount. According to HDC, the government secured the loan, which is the largest taken for a housing project yet, for an interest of less than four percent. The loans are to be repaid within 15 years.
The 7,000 social housing flats will measure 550 square feet each, featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
HDC had earlier revealed that 15,000 housing units are planned to be developed in Hulhumale's second phase of development. The government has reclaimed 240 hectares of land for the second phase.

Shaping Your Future
May 15, 2001
Each spring as part of outreach and recruitment efforts, the UW hosts a Saturday morning campus event for newly admitted ethnic minority students and their parents. Shaping Your Future 1 is held in the Husky Union Building (HUB), beginning with a keynote speaker and continuing with sessions on college student life and support services available at the UW. A variety of sessions are offered. These include panels of current UW students who share their perceptions of college life and interact informally with those in attendance, and special interest discussion groups on topics such as selection of majors and UW support programs like the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Instructional Center (IC).
Evaluation of the 2001 Shaping Your Future was carried out in a manner similar to that of the previous year. Students and parents attending were asked to complete a short questionnaire regarding their perceptions of the event and suggestions for future improvements. Results were overwhelmingly positive on the part of both students and parents. No sessions had average ratings below satisfactory and open-ended questions yielded similarly positive results.
At the conclusion of Shaping Your Future 2000, students were asked to complete a one-page questionnaire regarding their perception of the event to provide feedback for program improvement in Spring 2001. Students were asked to rate the overall event, the keynote speaker and the individual sessions. Open-ended questions allowed students to give further details about their perceptions of the best part of the event and add their own suggestions for improvement. Shaping Your Future 2000 was overwhelmingly rated as a positive experience, and University of Washington student panels were given the highest ratings and most positive comments of all the individual sessions. Suggestions for improvement included the addition of time to interact with other participants and with UW students, and careful selection of the keynote speaker with attention to the details of the presentation.

Los Angeles schools will have to find a new way to fund extracurricular programs. Currently, many school districts charge activity fees to its students as a way to bring in more funding for the extra programs and activities. Due to a December 2010 lawsuit that ruled it unconstitutional to charge fees for extracurricular activities, school districts will have to come up with a more creative alternative.
The December lawsuit brought on by the American Civil Liberties Union, claimed that many area districts were illegally charging students for various activities and clubs. According to the lawsuit, it's illegal to accept these types of fees in a public school district setting. This law is now in effect for activities ranging from sports teams, cheer squads, musical groups, booster clubs and other school community organizations.
Currently, a law is pending which will penalize the school districts that have been illegally charging these fees. The law will also require all educational materials and supplies to be available free of charge.
This will leave many school districts looking for new ways to bring in money for these programs. Many districts are already struggling to keep extra activities and programs available. In order to keep some of these programs, school districts will be looking for donations and volunteer support.
Schools will begin to be audited during the following school year.
Some area schools have already taken steps to get rid of activity fees, and have been successful with a volunteer base. Many of these school districts are able to continue the many extracurricular activities and program without the use of student activity fees.
Unfortunately, many school districts may not be able to get the funding and support that is needed to keep the many programs running. This will make it extremely difficult to have a wide variety of programs and activities for the students.
It will be interesting to see how creative school districts get, when looking for funding options. Hopefully most schools will still be able to provide the same level of programs and activities to students.

The following Checksum mismatch error detected error prevents users from installing or updating PaletteApp:
Make sure your firewall is not blocking PaletteApp from accessing the internet and then check your internet connection before attempting installation or updating again.

Ald. Ed Burke on Monday said "of course" he will continue his run for a new term representing the Southwest Side ward where he has held sway for five decades, despite last week's federal raids on his government offices.
Appearing at a senior citizen Christmas luncheon in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood, Burke declined to say whether he has talked with federal agents about why they took computers and boxes of documents out of his City Hall and ward offices in dramatic raids Thursday. "You'd have to ask them," he said.
But Burke was unequivocal about his re-election plans. "My (ballot) petitions are on file," Burke said when asked whether his appearance to shake hands with about 75 seniors means he remains committed to vying for a 13th full term representing the 14th Ward in spite of the federal cloud dogging him. "Of course," he said when asked whether he plans to see the election through, and not drop out.
Burke has faced federal scrutiny off and on for years. After the raids he released a statement saying he would cooperate with the investigation, but adding, "I am completely confident that at the end of the day nothing will be found amiss in this instance either."
And on Monday he seemed at ease working the crowd of seniors.
But even before the raids, Burke already was facing perhaps his toughest election fight in decades. U.S. Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia has targeted Burke for removal from his powerful post representing the ward, which is now majority Latino. Four people have signed up to run against him, including three young Hispanics with ties to Garcia.
Latest Politics
Garcia backed Aaron Ortiz, who unseated Burke's brother, Dan Burke, in the Democratic primary for state representative for the area.
Candidates in the February city elections have until Dec. 20 to drop out in time to have their names kept off ballots.

The main goal of the project is about forming a single living area and kitchen area. An area, that in the existing old-style layout, is hard to create, mainly for capacity reasons, owner's needs and for technical reasons. Here are some of our initial concept design ideas for the living & kitchen areas, as well as our proposal layout plan. The renovation is intended to meet the needs of a young couple with the prospect of a future family. Two spacious bedrooms are provided from which, the one of the pair, with internal dressing room. Several storage spaces have been also provided in different parts of the house. The interior of the apartment, regarding the design, tends to be Mid-Century modern style. In order to achieve this we used rustic wood accents, natural concrete surfaces and customized furniture's with different shapes & materials. Main characteristics of this interior design are the simple forms, the emphasis on function and its democratic character, in other words, designed for everybody. Click here to see the full Project of Koridallos apartment renovation. More information regarding the construction of Koridallos apartment renovation will be available very soon… Stay tuned with NM Architects!

Good thinking has many benefits. You can learn to think better. Critical thinking is the place to start. Critical thinking is the attempt to overcome your own biases by carefully evaluating claims, observation, and experience. It is an active skill that seeks clarity, credibility, accuracy, relevance, fairness, and significance.
Great! But how can we think critically?
Here are 16 basic techniques of critical thinking.
- Clarify.
State one point at a time. Elaborate. Give examples. Ask others to clarify or give examples. If you're not sure what you're talking about, you can't address it.
Unclear: "How can we fix education?"
Clear: "How can teachers better prepare students for the workforce?" or "How can we change policies to encourage better teaching?"
- Be accurate.
Check your facts.
Inaccurate: "Most people these days are obese" or "Just vent your anger; you'll feel better."
Accurate: "Most people in the U.S. are not obese" or "Studies show that venting your anger actually increases angry feelings and actions."
- Be precise.
Be precise, so you are able to check accuracy. Avoid generalizations, euphemisms, and other ambiguity.
Imprecise: "Mary is overweight."
Precise: "Mary is 6 pounds overweight according to her Body Mass Index, which is a deceptive measure of healthy weight anyway."
- Be relevant.
Stick to the main point. Pay attention to how each idea is connected to the main idea.
Irrelevant: "Why do I believe in the Christian God? Well, the human eye is too complex to have happened by chance, so God must have created it."
Relevant: "The human eye is a complex system. Its origins, Darwinian or otherwise, are not fully understood. But our ignorance is not evidence for God or anything else."
- Know your purpose.
What are you trying to accomplish? What's the most important thing here? Distinguish your purpose from related purposes.
- Identify assumptions.
All thinking is based on assumptions, however basic.
Assumptions not identified: "Logically, God cannot exist."
Assumptions identified: "Logic is only a process applied to assumptions. If you apply logic to the assumption that 'scientific evidence is the only reliable means of knowing something,' then of course non-physical entities cannot be known using your assumptions."
- Check your emotions.
Emotions only confuse critical thinking. Notice how your emotions may be pushing your thinking in a certain direction.
- Empathize.
Try to see things from your opponent's perspective. Imagine how they feel. Imagine how you sound to them. Sympathize with the logic, emotion, and experience of their perspective.
- Know your own ignorance.
Each person knows less than 0.0001% of the available knowledge in the world. Even if you know more about relevant issues than your opponent, you still might be wrong. Educate yourself as much as possible, but still: be humble.
- Be independent.
Think critically about important issues for yourself. Don't believe everything you read. Don't conform to the priorities, values, and perspectives of others.
- Think through implications.
Consider the consequences of your viewpoint.
Not thinking through implications: "A fetus is biologically alive and mentally conscious. Therefore, killing a fetus is wrong."
Thinking through implications: "Monkeys, dogs, and many other animals are alive and almost certainly conscious. Is killing them always wrong, too? Why do they have less rights than a fetus? Let's think about this."
- Know your own biases.
Your biases muddle your thinking. Notice how they might be pushing your thought toward a particular end, regardless of the logical steps it took to get there.
Biased: "I'm not sure how to defeat the Kalam cosmological argument for God's existence, but I know it's flawed somewhere because God doesn't exist."
Unbiased: "The Kalam cosmological argument is compelling. I'll have to think it through before I can say whether or not it indicates God's existence."
- Suspend judgment.
Critical thinking should produce judgments, not the other way around. Don't make a decision and then use critical thinking to back it up. If anything, use the method of science: take a guess about how things are and then try to disprove it.
Immediate judgment: "We're here to promote Johnson's plan for education reform. What logical arguments can we construct in its favor?"
Suspended judgment: "What do we want from our educational system? Once we know, let's use critical thinking to find the best ways to do those things."
- Consider the opposition.
Listen to other viewpoints in their own words. Seriously consider their most persuasive arguments. Don't dismiss them.
Narrow-minded: Reading an essay and letting it persuade you.
Open-minded: Reading an essay, then reading an essay that argues the opposite point.
- Recognize cultural assumptions.
People from different times and cultures thought much differently than you do. In fact, your ideas might have arrived only in the last 50 years of human history! Why is your perspective better than that of everyone else in the world today and throughout history?
- Be fair, not selfish.
Each person's most basic bias is for themselves.
Selfish: "I can't know everything. It's not my fault I made that error."
Fair: "I can't know everything, but I could easily have done some basic research before making such a bold statement."
Of course, these are just the basics. You've got to actively practice these ways of thinking. Eventually, they will become second nature, though they will always require some effort. For more on critical thinking, see the resources listed at the end of this post.
Next, we start talking about logic!

We're using an Apologia elementary science program for the first time this year--Anatomy, and my (5th grade) sister is really liking it so far. The 5th grader is also doing Rod and Staff for the first time this year for English, so far I'm not a fan, or at least I think the style of writing they teach is out of date for the standards students will be held to in the upper levels. But I have the same complaint with Abeka--the grammar education is absolutely fantastic at higher levels (I credit Abeka grammar books with my perfect SAT score for reading and writing), but the writing assignments are simply out of date, not great preparation for post-high school education and life. I teach a lot of high school writing and college prep writing/SAT prep English so that's my area of passion!
For the kindergarten/first grade level this year we're doing: Math-U-See/Abeka (depending on the kid and their learning style!) plus "Life of Fred" just for the fun of it, language/reading/writing - Sing, Spell, Read, and Write along with some supplements from Abeka and other sources (I wish we had books 3 and 4 of Explode the Code because of how much they loved books 1 and 2 in kindergarten, but alas! We don't have them in our collection), and Sonlight for the basis for our Bible, history, and literature. What I really appreciate about Sonlight in our context is that it's more world-focused, less USA focused than many history programs...when you don't even live in the USA and several in your homeschool aren't US citizens to begin with...it would be weird to spend excessive time on US history. :)

I can't speak to Rod And Staff for older grades - I just know that we love their pre-K workbooks, and I got the first grade reading set cheap used, so we'll give it a try! In first grade I don't have to worry so much about writing style, just trying to learn how to read first. ;-) I did Abeka for grammar and composition in high school too! I hated every minute of it, but it was good for me.
I looked into Sonlight too, but went with BFB because I wanted US history first, haha! I think it's more natural for kids to learn the history of whatever country they're in first and branch out from there. :-D

Wow, these are some awesome choices! And some I've never even heard of (which I love)! I am really excited to hear about how you like Apologia and the Beautiful Feet Books (umm, sounds incredible--I am really intrigued by this!!) so please update once you guys get in to the year more and have a feel for them!! Thanks for sharing your picks, Callie!

Garratt on extending his deal until the summer of 2016
Ben Garratt says he is happy with everything in regards to his contract extension and says it was always his intention to give himself the security of another season. The Shrewsbury born goalkeeper has signed a deal to take him through to the summer of 2016 and the England youth international is now focussed on holding to the number one shirt.
Ben told Crewe Alex Player: "I wanted to get it sorted before we broke up for summer and now that's out of the way and I can just look forward to next year now.
"The most important thing was always football. With the situation we were in I just wanted to try and focus on that and obviously it went well Saturday and then I've signed it now today.
"I'm very happy with everything. I was here till next summer anyway and now I've extended it for another year so I've got two years left, so I'm very pleased.
He added: "All the lads that have signed are all around my age really, so it's nice we've all come through together and now we're all progressing as well."

The commanders of two U.S. Navy destroyers involved in separate crashes last year, resulting in the total deaths of 17 people, will face criminal charges for negligent homicide, officials said Tuesday.
USS McCain former commanding officer Alfredo Sanchez and USS Fitzgerald former commanding officer Bryce Benson will also face charges for dereliction of duty and hazarding a vessel.
"After careful deliberation, today Admiral Frank Caldwell announced that Uniform Code of Military Justice charges are being preferred against individual service members in relation to the collisions," the U.S. Navy said in a statement Tuesday.
U.S. Navy Chief of Information Capt. Greg Hicks said Sanchez and Benson will face preliminary hearings and court martial proceedings on the charges.
Two lieutenants and one lieutenant junior grade from the Fitzgerald face similar charges.
Both collisions came within two months of each other during a disastrous summer for the U.S. Navy.
In June, the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship near Japan, Tokyo Bay, killing seven U.S. sailors.
In August, the USS John S. McCain collided with a merchant oil tanker, leaving 10 U.S. sailors dead.
In an investigation released in November, the Navy found both collisions were the result of avoidable, human errors.
"Many of the decisions made that led to this incident were the result of poor judgment and decision making of the commanding officer," the report said.
That report also found that "no single person" was fully responsible for the incidents.
"The crew was unprepared for the situation in which they found themselves through a lack of preparation, ineffective command and control, and deficiencies in training and preparations for navigation," the report said.

UPS recognized as top shipper on annual 'Climate Counts' scorecard; criteria include reduction of climate impact, corporate support of public policy initiatives relating to climate change, openness, transparency in reporting
December 7, 2011
(press release)
– For the third year in a row, UPS (NYSE:UPS - News) has earned the top score in the consumer shipping sector on the annual "Climate Counts" scorecard. UPS also shared the 11th highest score across all industries alongside Sony, Nokia and AB Electrolux among 144 ranked companies.
UPS ranked No. 1 in the consumer shipping sector with a score of 80, remaining ahead of competitors Deutsche Post World Net/DHL, the U.S. Postal Service and FedEx, which ranked second, third and fourth, respectively.
Climate Counts, an organization that works to bring consumers and companies together in the fight against global climate change, ranks the world's largest companies based on 21 criteria that focus on measuring and reducing climate impact, corporate support of public policy initiatives on climate change and openness and transparency in reporting.
Climate Counts issues a shopping guide to help consumers "support companies that take climate change seriously and avoid those that don't," according to the non-profit organization.
"This recognition is significant because Climate Counts rigorously evaluates performance rather than corporate marketing claims," said Scott Wicker, UPS's chief sustainability officer. "The Climate Counts shopping guide provides consumers with a signpost for companies that are truly committed to environmentally-responsible business practices."
The Climate Counts ranking is just the latest in a long list of honors for environmental leadership awarded to UPS. Other recent honors include: Highest score in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (tied with 3 others); No. 1 in the Carbon Disclosure Project S&P 500 and tied with 3 others in the Global 500; Interbrand Top 50 Best Global Green Brands, and Fortune's Most Admired Companies list.
"UPS's repeated and consistent top ranking in the shipping segment highlights our efforts to measure, manage and reduce our carbon footprint while offering consumers more choices that support their commitment to the environment," Wicker added.
The Climate Counts scorecard can be found at www.climatecounts.org. More information about UPS's sustainability initiatives is available at ups.com/responsibility.

Two flaws in a mobile medical app that might have permitted fake patient data to be uploaded have been fixed by German software company SAP. Although the issues were addressed before any damage was done, it is a reminder to healthcare organisations about the ongoing threat of security issues which could have devastating medical and legal consequences.
SAP's mobile EMR, Unwired, includes patient data such as lab results and images. One of the discovered flaws could have allowed someone to upload malware or access the database, said Alexander Polyakov, the Chief Technology Officer of ERPScan, which specialises in enterprise application security.
Another flaw could have allowed hackers to "tamper with a configuration file and then change medical records stored on the server," Jeremy Kirk wrote in Computer World.
The latest incidents for SAP highlight the inherent risk that exists in healthcare organisations, no matter the size or sophistication of the company. As technology becomes a tool for greater convenience, companies must proceed with caution and constant vigilance. Fortunately for SAP, the flaws were detected and quickly addressed.
Larger healthcare organisations sometimes see possible breaches as the cost of doing business in the era of digital health. Some may even plan for the potential expenses related to hacking in company budgets. Of course, it is difficult to measure the damage done when consumers and customers lose trust in a brand.
The SAP situation appears on the heels of a high-profile breach at Premera Blue Cross, and not long after Anthem incurred the largest ever data hack, which affected approximately 80 million members.

By Ben Wright
So you've put in all the hard work of getting your CV up to scratch, you've applied for roles and have managed to secure an interview.
How well do you think you'll perform at interview?
It's a difficult process for anyone at any level, and I'll try my best to guide you through some of the likely questions and situations you might find yourself having to deal with.
- First impressions
The obvious one – first impressions do count! You have no idea how true this is. You need to smile and make the right amount of eye contact, so keep your gaze just a few seconds longer than usual, without looking like a bit of a weirdo.
- Questions and answers
Let the interview panel lead the interview but remember that you don't have to wait until the end of the interview to ask questions. While they're telling you all about the job and the company, questions from you at this point will emphasise your interest in the position. They may start with the question "Tell us about yourself and your experience, and why you think you would be the best candidate for the job". This is where it helps to have your pitch handy as a brief introduction to who you are and what you can do.
- Preparation
Before the interview you should consider how you handle situations like interviews. How will you answer a question like "What are your salary expectations"? A difficult one if you don't know whether you are over or under selling yourself. Figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are – you need to be able to say what you're good at with confidence.
- Your reasons for wanting the job
Ask yourself why you want this job because you'll likely be asked this on the day. Only you know the answer and you need to make it a good one. Just because you need a job isn't a good enough reason for someone to hire you. Ask yourself what you actually know about the company. Are you interested in a long-term career or is this simply a stopgap for you? They might ask you where you see yourself in 6 months or 5 years' time – how will you answer this. Easy if you see yourself long-term with the company, but not so easy to answer if you don't.
- Dress Code
I can't stress this enough – make sure that you dress professionally. Casual is not good and gives the wrong impression. Of course, this will entirely depend on what type of job you are applying for, but for a professional career position, get it right and rock that killer suit.
- Be enthusiastic!
You've been invited for interview because they believe you can do the job. It's just down to you on the day to show that you can do it better than anyone else. Even if you don't tick all the boxes for the job criteria, I'll bet you have something just as good or even better to offer. The interview panel don't know this yet, so you have to tell them. Don't be negative about a past (or present) employer, working conditions etc., as this will give a really bad impression. Try to show that you are flexible and willing to take on responsibility.
- Timing is critical
Whatever happens don't be late! Arrive 10 minutes prior – and if you're too early then take a walk around the block. Just don't leave it until 5 minutes before the interview is due to start, because the interview room might be some distance away from the reception area you have reported to.
- The evening before the interview
I'm not going to say try to relax the evening before because you won't, but get some sleep! If you really want the job you'll be pretty nervous… that's natural – and that's the best advice anyone can give, to just be natural and be yourself. That's the person they're looking for. Good Luck!

I love a good before and after picture and I have some great ones in this post. This will show you how you can breathe new life into your old furniture. I love the transformation of my customers living room with her new slipcovers and pillows. The floral pillow was our inspiration and guide for colors. We pulled the background color out for the sofa fabric and my customer fell in love with a natural linen fabric. The sofa slipcover was finished a couple months ago and then my customer placed a slipcover order for the camel back loveseat, ottoman, cushion and several pillows done in the linen fabric. The first picture shows the living room in disarray ready for us to start staging.
I love all the windows in this room!
In this picture you can see the before look of the ottoman and the camel back loveseat. The ottoman received a layer of dacron to cover the deep tufting.
Before picture of the loveseat.
We replaced the two worn seat cushions with one new plump seat cushion. This changed the whole look and feel of the loveseat.
Then we added the pillows. What a beautiful transformation!! My customer has a beautiful collection of pillows. Here is the new ottoman slipcover.
The sofa table was a new purchase that fits perfect behind the loveseat.
Here is a closeup of the linen fabric

Spotlight On: David Yurman Engagement Rings
David Yurman. A brand many are familiar with due to them being around for years. When you think of David Yurman, engagement rings usually are the first thing to come to mind.
When you see people rocking David Yurman it's usually in the form of their classic cable bracelets, earrings and pendant enhancers. But – today I'm here to show appreciation to another side of the David Yurman jewelry line. Their bridal collection that deserves a praise of its own.
Join me as we take a look into the wild world of David Yurman and some of my favorite styles.
David Yurman Crossover Capri Engagement Ring
One of the newest styles released by David Yurman. It has the simple cable design on the shank, but this sparkler has a split shank crossover look. If you are thinking "there is already a David Yurman Capri collection, you are absolutely right. But now there is a crossover style WITH a halo setting included.
David Yurman Crossover Engagement Ring
This David Yurman pave crossover engagement ring is unreal! Featuring a split-shank crossover style with the classic cable design integrated within. The diamonds are set with four prongs. The ring style is absolutely timeless and elegant. If you are going for a very simplistic look this is the ring for you! If you aren't a fan of the cable design, there is a pave set shank style available as well (love that look).
David Yurman Wysteria Engagement Ring
Love diamonds? How about twisted shanks? We know this style is a traditionally fancy sparkler. David Yurman calls this Wysteria engagement ring style "elegantly intertwined" like your relationship…awww.
There are so many more styles offered, but these are a few of our favorite. For more looks visit the website here. All of the photographs used belong to David Yurman.

Squirrels are like girls, you see them everywhere but there seems to be no evidence that they poop. Squirrel poop is a rare commodity. No one ever smells it, steps in it or even sees it.
Despite the lack of evidence, squirrels do poop. Their droppings are extremely small, roughly 5 mm, smaller than the size of a raisin. We have pasted a picture below so you can get a sense of the size.
Additional factors contribute to the mystery of the vanishing poop. First, squirrels can poop on the run, so their droppings are spread out and do not accumulate into large piles.
Second, they often poop while high up in a tree or inside the hollow of a tree or stump. This means that most squirrel poop never even has the chance to enter our daily field of vision.
Finally, squirrel poop is light brown in color making it very difficult to spot in the soil.
If you are among the few that will encounter squirrel poop consider yourself lucky' It's like finding a four leaf clover in the form of a small smelly raisin.
Squirrel's don't clog toilets.

National Weather Service La Crosse has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Richland, Grant, Crawford and Vernon County until 10:00PM.
As temperatures continue to rise along with increased atmospheric instability, thunderstorms are looking more likely across the entire area in the 4-10 pm window. Severe storms are likely as well, especially near and south of Interstate 90. An area of thunderstorms is expected to develop in the late afternoon, near or east of Interstate 35, and shift east through 10 pm. Isolated storms may also form east of that area.
Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats. Southwestern Wisconsin and northeast Iowa seem to have a higher chance of more widespread damaging winds. Locally heavy rain could also cause
some temporary minor flooding. If outdoors later, be prepared to seek safe shelter.
A weather watch indicates the potential for severe or damaging weather conditions.
