The Lithuanian trade unions - the Lithuanian trade union confederation, Lithuanian trade union "Solidarumas", Lithuanian labour federation together with the international community marked the Decent Work Day organizing the Conference on "Decent work - decent life" in Vilnius on 7 October with the aim to discuss the situation on the Lithuania's labour market, possibility to create qualitative and attractive jobs, to ensure decent life and pension for the workers. The press Conference took place prior the Conference with the participation of Lithuanian trade union confederation chairperson A.Černiauskas, Lithuanian trade union "Solidarumas" chairperson A.Jašinskienė, Lithuanian labour federation chairperson V.Puskepalis who introduced to the journalists the idea of decent work, the view of the international trade union community on this day and expressed their thoughts about decent work. They were talking about the attractiveness of jobs created in Lithuania, about wages and working conditions. The enterprises were mentioned that violate the provisions of the Labour code, the workers' rights and where there is no social dialogue.
Over 100 trade unionists took part in the practical conference "Decent work - decent life" who discussed the view of the trade unions on the possibility to have decent work and decent wages in Lithuania. The business representatives, namely: General director of the Lithuanian business employers' confederation D.Arlauskas, Executive director of the Investors' forum R.Skyrienė, President of the Lithuanian Free market institute R.Šimašius, representative of the Lithuanian Industrialists' confederation E.Jankauskas expressed their thoughts and discussed with the trade unions if the employers in Lithuania have wish and possibilities to ensure decent work and wages, to create qualitative and attractive jobs, the labour relations stimulating loyalty to the enterprise. Finalizing the Conference the trade union representatives confirmed the resolution on decent work and the statement on the electricity prices.
Taking into consideration that the Conference took place on the eve of the elections to the parliament (Seimas), it draw the attention of the politicians who participated in the work: the political party "Frontas", the Labour party, the Liberals' and Centre Union, the Lithuanian social-democrats party, the Lithuanian social-democrats' union, the Lithuanian farmers' union, the New Union, the Citizens' democratic party, the Christian democrats' party, the party Order and Justice.
On 7 October the Youth associations of the National youth trade union ,,Solidarumas", of the Lithuanian trade union confederation and the Lithuanian labour federation conducted the civil-informational action ,,For decent work" during which the young trade unionists went by the trolley bus decorated with the agitation posters all over Vilnius. At the stops the young trade unionists distributed the leaflets about the trade unions and talked to people thus drawing the attention of the society towards the problems of decent work. The majority of people they talked to stated that they heard nothing about the trade unions and they were very positi ve about that action organized by youth. They were using the loudspeaker inviting the trade union members to use the trolleybus free of charge, so they interested several groups of young people to join them in the trolleybus. They listened with great attention to the information about trade union activities and decent work and then even helped to distribute the leaflets. The attention of mass media was good as several journalists also were in the trolleybus filming the action.

I am a great fan of Faux Pas , an awesome code quality tool for objC. Now when I shifted to Swift, I was looking for a similar tool and I found SwiftLint, which is an awesome tool. Its pretty easy to install, I downloaded the pkg file and installed and added the runscript to make it work.
Now the problem was that I wanted to turn off some of the rules and for that I need to create a .swiftlint.yml file, but how the hell to create it? Mac is throwing error if I give "." at the start of file and now this is what I did.
1. Copied all the rules in to a file named swiftlint.yml (not with the starting ".")
2. I Copied the file to the project root folder, where your proj file is present.
3. Then via terminal go the root folder. (cd /Users/SourceCode/MySampleApp…)
4. Hit this command "mv swiftlint.yml .swiftlint.yml", this will create ".swiftlint.yml" file and immediately it becomes hidden, now you need to use terminal to do any changes.
5. Use "vi .swiftlint.yml" to edit.
6. After that you just need to move all the rules you want to disable, into the "disabled-rules" section.
`UPDATE`: You can use Atom editor which displays all files that start with "."
You may get annoyed with the trailing space warnings, but dont worry SwiftLint has an autocorrect feature, you need to hit "swiftlint autocorrect" command and ta da and almost everything is fixed automatically.
You can use your custom swiftlint config, first copy your config into the project root folder and in the runscript add this
if which swiftlint >/dev/null; then
swiftlint lint --config ${SRCROOT}/.swiftlint.yml
echo "warning: SwiftLint not installed, download from https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint"
Enjoy….code with Quality…

A s physician practices and hospitals are facing an unprecedented pace of change in reimbursement models, regulatory requirements, and technology, many are choosing to align in the form of clinically integrated networks, physician-hospital organizations, or independent practice associations. Such networks are not new and have been used for many years to enable independent providers to group together for the purpose of negotiating with health plans and suppliers. However, the healthcare reimbursement and regulatory environment is rapidly changing, causing these networks to face new challenges.
SPH Analytics provides comprehensive software and patient engagement solutions for many of the challenges faced by provider networks:

I've taken this post from Reddit, which you can find here. The author is BloodyIron.
So I just went down a rabbit hole for about 3hrs, as I NEEDED to know if iSCSI and NFS can pass TRIM over their protocols to SSD-backed storage. And here are my findings.
- iSCSI is capable of passing TRIM correctly
- NFS requires v4.2 on server and client to pass TRIM correctly, otherwise earlier versions DO NOT
I cobbled this together from an eye-spinning number of sources on the internet. So if you feel you can conclusively prove me wrong, by all means.
I'm primarily posting this for myself (as my blog/website is not yet production ready), and maybe it can help some other people who are looking.
- RHEL 7.4+ has official support for NFS v4.2
- FreeBSD, unsure when it will get NFS v4.2, I'm trying to find out, so far I haven't found info
- Proxmox, to get it to use NFS v4.2 (not sure if it can or not) you have to change NFS options for mounts at the CLI, I've opened a feature request to add options/settings like this to the webGUI
- FreeNAS seems to conclusively not be NFS v4.2 capable, as of this writing (since it also relies on FreeBSD)
Hope this helps someone! 😀

Intermediate Hamstrings
This is a full follow along workout for fast hamstrings flexibility for intermediate students. To determine if this is the right level
This Program covers:
- Hamstrings specific warm-up.
- 5 specialized Kinesiological Stretching techniques.
- Cool down.
The Warm Up
How well you warm up will dictate your performance, not only in speed, power, agility and related modalities, but also in flexibility. We prepare the body for the workout using exercises targeting the whole posterior chain and its synergists, which if neglected put a halt on the progress, regardless how well the hamstrings are targeted.
The Essence of the Workout are the Five Knesiological Stretches
1- The first Kinesiological Stretching exercise targets the glutes. These groups of 4 muscles (Maximus, Medius, Minimus, and the Deep Six Rotators) often abduct and laterally rotates the femur, not allowing the hamstrings to be targeted, so they are dealt with first.
2- The second targets Adductor Magnus and deeper Adductor Longus. The adductors often restrict hamstrings flexibility, thus we get them out of the way before targetting hamstrings directly. They are often what stops you from stretching your hamstrings (much like glutes above).
3- The third targets Lateral Hamstrings, that is, the hamstrings on the outside part of the back of your leg. Biceps Femoris is the tightest of the 3 hamstrings muscles (yes, they are 3!). It often puts a block on the other two. Our specialized technique which is really different from anything you did before, targets this muscle and lengthens it.
4- The fourth targets the knee and hip tag. This technique equalizes the three hamstrings muscles and naturally works the muscles the way it was designed to work. Through both joints and not just one.
5- Last we remove all the obstacles. Besides the muscles, nerves, fascia and other tissues prevent hamstrings from going to full length and for many people this restriction is a real culprit, and not even the muscles themselves. Our specialized Kinesiological Stretching technique clears the way for bending your body in half with straight knees and finally seeing your toes up close and personal.
Cool Down
The cool down, makes sure the muscles are relaxed and the toxins are driven out of the muscles to minimize the soreness and complete readiness for the next for workout, for even more flexibility during the next training session.

Posted 3:46 p.m. Updated: 6:29 p.m.
By Brett Ballantini
GLENDALE, Ariz. Another day, another scoreless, hitless outing by Chicago White Sox starting pitching. This time, it was John Dankss turn to spin some magic and set sail toward a 6-1 victory, Chicagos first of spring training.
The rotation made sure all morning to let me know the starters havent given up a hit, Danks said. Its fun. We talked before how we all kind of push each other as a group. Thats an example.
Danks threw very well, the four guys so far in the rotation have thrown the ball very well, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. Obviously, its only two inningswere looking for strikes, command, not stuff yet. He had a lot of pressure today because all the guys in front of him threw the ball well. Hopefully, they continue to do that.
It qualified as an offensive outburst for the White Sox, who spun 11 hits down into six runs, which were well more than enough to thwart the anemic Ms and secure the clubs first win of the spring.
When the expectation is you have to win every game in spring training, thats a little overrated, Guillen said. But winning the games, thats a better feeling. Weve been playing pretty good baseball. Im glad about the way were playing.

My uncle was Ben Whitekiller. He was also Robert Vessey. Actually, of course, his name was Herbert — not Ben or Robert.
Herb was a peace officer in central Oklahoma and I grew up adoring him. As I became an adult and understood more of what it means to be a grown up, I began to see Herb in a clearer light, to have more of a circumspect understanding of his life. After he died in 2005, I wrote him in as two of the main characters in my police procedural, The Medicine People. Herb was the embodiment of Ben Whitekiller, the aging Native American, recovering alcoholic, who knows he has to come back to his little hometown to settle accounts from his misspent youth. Herb was also the essence of Robert Vessey, the whip-smart, jaded police lieutenant and investigator who never forgot what an encounter with Whitekiller had cost him. The resolution of the conflict between those two men was, in its way, my resolving of Herb's legacy in my own heart.
So if you are like me, some of the characters in the books you write are conceived, developed and refined with a specific individual in mind — not always, but sometimes. And because that's the case, I particularly mourned the death of the actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
When I created the fictional character Magnus Thorsen in my novel East Light, I tried to envision a tall, clever, shaggy-headed, blonde fellow. Thorsen is an artist, a complicated, high-achieving, substance abuser who is discontent with what he has made of his life. He lives on the North Carolina coast in a cottage, the third story of which is an art studio that faces the rising sun. When he decides to take his life, he goes to his favorite secluded beach, only to discover a terribly injured young woman, whose life he saves. Throughout the remainder of the book, Thorsen engages in a complicated dance with Lt. Dot Stipling, the African-American detective who figures out his suicidal intentions and needs to keep him alive at least long enough to prosecute the girl's attackers. I always thought the ideal person to play the part of Magnus Thorsen—complex, determined, supremely artistic—would have been Hoffman.
So here is my homage to Philip Seymour Hoffman and the part he never played. The book, by the way, will coming out this summer from Second Wind:
Magnus opened the big glass doors onto the deck and slid open the screens. He stepped out to the railing and looked down. The tide was going out. Down the beach someone was throwing tennis balls into the surf for a retriever to chase. Twenty yards away, a gull was hanging nearly motionless in the air, waiting in case Magnus had food crumbs to throw.
"Forget it. I'm not a tourist," he muttered.
It was nearly thirty-five feet from where he stood to the dunes below. Almost forty if he stood on top of the handrail. When he first decided to kill himself, he thought about jumping from this upper deck, making it look like an accident. Only, if he had been pretending that he didn't mean to die, he couldn't leave notes for his son and parents and lawyer and bookkeeper. Then too, he might have survived the fall and been crippled by it. He also thought about hanging himself from this railing. The problem was that, if he didn't break his neck, hanging would be slow and awful. And no one in the family would want to live in the cottage. And its worth on the real estate market would have diminished as well.
Where was the lieutenant, he wondered. Turning from the water, he saw her walking around the room, looking at the canvases on the walls and easels.
"See anything you like?"
"They're really very beautiful."
"You think?"
She faced him. "I can't help but notice that they are all finished."
". . . Well most of them are fairly old. I didn't do any of these for customers. I did them for myself, or to try a new technique, or to demonstrate something to someone."
"Where are your 'works in progress?'"
He shrugged.
"Did you run out of clients who wanted portraits done?"
"I have a whole stack of work over there on my desk. I just haven't started them yet."
"Why haven't you?"
Magnus took a drink of his coffee. "Just waiting for my muse, I guess."
She walked through the studio toward him. "You know what I think? I think you finished everything you were working on and didn't start anything new because you intended to take your life. Everything about this place and your actions before you stumbled onto Lisa Faucet reveals an intent to commit suicide."
She stood beside his main drawing table, her hands on her hips. It was a place, he noticed, where—with the sun streaming into the studio—the pure consistency of her complexion and the finely etched lines of her face appeared to glow with their own light. And at that instant she didn't seem to Magnus to be a police officer hounding him, but an exquisite countenance, begging to be captured on canvas.
"I have a friend who is a musician," Magnus said. "To him, the whole world is reducible to beat and melody. If you're a doctor, you view everything according to how it impacts a person's health. And if you're a police officer, everything and everyone is suspicious."
She smiled grimly. "Mr. Thorsen, you can change the subject all you want. You can have me follow you from one room of your house to another. You can try to distract me with egg coffee and beautiful artwork. But nothing changes the reality that you were going to kill yourself yesterday."
Slowly he shook his head. "That is strictly your assumption."
The phone rang.
"Now what!" he exclaimed. He looked at the little clock on the supply table. "It's just now 7:45!" The phone rang again. "How did I get so popular?"
She stared at him. "Aren't you going to answer it?"
"Might be the hospital."
There was a third ring.
"No," he said. "The hospital has my cell number. Nobody who has my home number would dare call me before 8 a.m."
"Why's that?"
There was a fourth ring.
"Because they know I'm painting."
The answering machine, with a robotic voice, spoke, "Please leave a message after the tone."
There was a protracted beeping sound and suddenly Grady's angry words were amplified through the room: "Mag-man! What's this shit in today's paper? You better pick up. I saw your name listed by a gun permit. What the hell you need a gun for? This has something to do with going down to Scotch Bonnet by yourself, don't it? You didn't tell me nothing about no goddamn gun, son. You better, by-god, be calling me back or I'm calling that hot police lady myself about this. And you better, by-god, be at the meeting tonight." There was the sound of Grady abruptly slamming down the phone.
Magnus stared at the answering machine, refusing to look at her. He didn't know what to say, and he felt like a little boy caught in some naughty act.
"Hot police lady?"
He shook his head. "That's not what I called you."
"So he is talking about me," she said. "I take it that's you A.A. sponsor?"
"Well he was, up until a minute ago."
". . . You have a black sponsor?"
He tilted his head and looked at her. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"I don't know. Just surprised me."
"Surprised him," Magnus said, "when I told him that a black woman is Chief of Detectives. . . . I told him he would have met you before I did, if he just hadn't sobered up."
She laughed. She had a beautiful smile. Somehow it was a relief to Magnus to see her smile.

Article purpose
This article will compare NATO tanks according to characteristics actually required of battle tanks. These are likely to be different from typical focus on armor and firepower above all else. Consequently, first thing that has to be established is actual usage of tanks; all necessary characteristics stem from that.
Historical overview
"The tank's purpose is to bring machine-guns to bear on the enemy's unprotected rear, using speed and surprise."
– General George S. Patton
"Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare."
– Heinz Guderian
George Patton also wrote that it would have been impossible for him to achieve the successes of the Third army if he had been forced to use German tanks. He was entirely correct, as will be seen from the following. Read the rest of this entry »

I have had time to stew it over. Disgruntled because I didn't get to do it this year. In any case my partner was around so we decided to hit up North Cottonwood. A trail that I haven't done since the first time I attempted to do it. Way back when I first moved to Bozeman.
It was a great hike, one where we never a reached our destination. But that was okay. We turned around and walk back to the car. Its been awhile since we've been out so this is good. It is all good right?
But wait, how about what happened last weekend? Well something did happen last weekend, but this story is totally balls. Yeah sure, my partner and I went out for a hike on North Cottonwood. But that was about a month ago. No this is a fraudulent blog post. Was it wrong that I led you astray? That is all. As you were. At least the pictures are pretty, right?

Living Alone Tips: How to Be Solitary in Style
Single-person households are exceedingly - there are well over 31 million single-person households in the U.S. That's nearly a third of all households.
Living alone can be dreary or fabulous. It all comes down to the decisions you make and the way you run your single-person household. What follows is a guide to maximizing one's solitary life. The key, you will find, lies in quality, quantity, cleanliness, indulgence, and socialization.
Indulge in High Quality Things
One of the key benefits of living alone is that you do not have to share anything. This means that you have every excuse to ingulge in the best of the best in every department- from food to fabric.
Focusing on all-around quality when living alone is also pivotal in that it draws the distinction between fabulous living and dreary survival. Living alone need not be depressing or lonely, but you can bet your bottom that it will be if you pull on stained, boring clothes every morning and return to a shabby, un-chic domicile every evening. If you do not turn your home into an indulgent retreat, it will seem like an isolated jail.
It is therefore pivotal that you...
- Stock your fridge and pantry with the best of foods (healthy, fresh, and delicious!)
- Fill your closet with excellent clothing
- Furnish your pad with comfortable, tasteful furniture
- Invest in a good entertainment and sound system
... and indulge in any other household feature (from fun kitchen appliances to top of the line gaming systems) that help to define your personality and help you unwind.
If you're concerned about the cost of filling your solitary life with top-of-the-line items, do not worry. That issue is pretty much resolved with the next solitary-living rule of thumb about quantity.
Minimize Quantity
Though it is a good practice for EVERYONE to keep personal possessions to a minimum, it is particularly important for singles to do so.
Those living alone have the particular advantage of being more flexible in their lives. It is much easier for them to relocate or change careers or change apartments because they do not have to agree with husbands or wives or boyfriends or girlfriends or friends or roommates. Housemates provide a hefty amount of logistical ballast.
Those living alone are free of the logistical ballast that comes with housemates, but that doesn't mean they may take on things that weigh them down. Physical possessions are the most common barriers to flexible living that can weigh single-lifers down.
Avoid this extra burden by simply minimizing the amount of things you allow yourself to hold onto. Only keep your best clothing, best furniture, and best decorations. If you're buying everything fresh, focus on quality and just get a few good things. They'll be more expensive, but they'll also be of higher quality and shall last longer.
Keep it Clean
One of the major perks of living alone is that you are free to make and clean up messes at your own pace. As someone enjoying the privileges of solitary life, you should feel free to exercise your right to make a mess and leave it around, or keep your diggs as clean and immaculate as possible.
That said, you should, on the whole, do your best to keep your home clean. This should be fairly easy to do given that you should (1) have stocked your home with only the highest quality things, and (2) you have paired down your possessions, but it is easy for even the best of us to slip . To avoid letting any clutter or grunginess sneak up in your home, make a habit of doing a cleaning overhaul at a certain recurring time every week or month.
Why bother with keeping things clean? First, keeping your home organized allows you to keep your life organized- the home in which you live constantly gives you mental cues that affect the way you think and behave. Second, should people come to visit you or see your home, they will think much more of you if you show how well your living. Even if you do not care much about what others think of your place, consider how people might use the messiness of your home as evidence of your "sorry, sad, lonely state." You do not want people thinking such things of you, so don't give them the fodder!
Express Yourself
By living alone, you are allowed to truly get to know yourself, as you will not be defined by those around you.
Utilize this opportunity to develop your unique persona. Decorate your home with the things you love most. Choose some unique, fun art that reminds you of who you are and who you want to be. Don't worry about what other people might think of your decorating choices- they're not the ones paying the rent!
Turn Your Home into a Retreat
Once you have a clean, uncluttered, unique home filled with high quality possessions, you are ready to crown it off by turning it into the utlimate retreat.
Single-person households have a particular advantage as retreats as they are always places where one can get away from it all. When returning home every night, the solitary individual will not be hindered by roomies, housemates, significant others, or anyone else, and can therefore turn their places into super indulgent spa retreats.
Take advantage of the opportunity by stocking your home with the accouterments required for the ultimate you-tailored retreat. This might entail having bath salts, face masks, and scented candles on hand, or it might involve creating the ultimate video game and movie library in a media cave equipped with mind-melting surround sound and a top of the line flatscreen. No matter what you have on hand, make sure it makes being home alone not just a concession, but a privilege.
Socialize and Show Off
By turning your home into the ultimate you-tailored retreat, you might make it extremely tempting to just spend all of your free time alone! Though doing so is perfectly fine, life is far more satisfying when it is enjoyed with other people, hence I encourage you to, from time to time, share your lovely home with guests.
When you feel like it, invite people over for dinner, parties, brunches, games, and get-togethers. Because you live alone, doing so will be splendidly easy, as you do not have to garner permission from anyone else!
In addition to having a good time with friends (without having to go anywhere), you will be spreading the understanding that living alone is not only fashionable but fun. And that's a good thing indeed!
This is beautiful Simone... :)
less is more ,no junk less housework. and an uncluttered look is so calming for stress free living .life is not ment to waste on housework
What a fun upbeat hub. so many of these tips I've been doing for years, who knew I was so stylish? :)
I too despise clutter; I am not a knick knack person. I love big statement pieces, which lend themselves nicely to moving, which I also do frequently.
Sunday is my regular cleaning day. A hold over from my childhood with a catch phrase coined by my mother "It's clean your room day" she would say in a sing song voice after breakfast, and it stuck!
Thanks for sharing your take on living alone.
Great ideas and tips for living alone.Have a good day.
Simon, another wonderful hub. Living alone is nice specially when we have a great income.lol It is daring and exciting. But it is effective in your 20 - 30 :)
So awesome! Scheduling visits has been my only problem. It's karma, really - as I never call or anything, I just show up.
. . . .so perhaps I can't really complain about the three a.m. visits from people asking where the best place to hide the bank bags are, or how to diffuse the exploding dye packs?
Ahhhh help girl
Inspiration needed
Well more but still
These rule.... Your how-to guide to dwelling solo is groovy, perhaps an article on Tips to Living Alone: Staying Financially Golden is in order? I know i would dig it
Simone I relapsed, I can't find a thing my mess is back out of control
please advise
oh boy!
Great ideas. I like my peace and quiet. I have friends over when I get bored, but for the most part it's comfortable having solitude and quiet at home. I am with people all day.
i love that comment,spot on for me also
I love living alone! There's nothing I enjoy more than single gal behavior. Example one: Dancing like a crazy person to any music I want.
two: Eating breakfast naked in bed. It's fab!!
Rated up and awesome!
ok Iam trusting you cause you obviously have 100 score [hmmmmmm ha]
no seriously starting to get in the groove and moving some furniture around has given me inspiration for clearing and opening up space
omg saw my area rug yesterday, it has green in it so after an hour of mini golf trashed it in the big blue bin-who knew tada hardwood floors-next miracle i shall report promply
and tamka tanks
simone ugh
this is gross
can i hire someone?
but fyi started sifting lifting shifting and risking the initial throw out stage
your fault
status update in few weeks
your fault
Simone, this is my major spring project, I mean it's ridiculous what I am unable to throw out-even stupid embarrassing door knockers I don't use ha
You have saved me
and between you and I-he is smoking hot, but I really only think so cause I love her-I have 6 large prints of her in my room surrounding the walls, nut lmao every morning I wake up I face the one AEvans has as her avatar and I think she's here to yell at me
have you been to his site-you'll freak-the photos everything-she was such a humanitarian, and he's continuing her work with unicef
cheers girl
smoking h.....
Hey, too weird that this is what I have been working on trying to find some style comport and cut back on my seriously deadly disease of being a pack rat
Love Audrey, dated her son and worked on Audrey projects, [bragging and adding just a little fun whoa] cool fun fact - Sean, her son told me that he nor his brother never even knew their mom was famous til they were ten. Motherhood and goodwill was her priorities.
Great hub
Brava! I absolutely love living alone (most of the time anyway) You can be selfish, eat what you want, say what you want (my cat does not talk back) and when you come back home, there are no messes to clean, my apt is exactly as I left it. I can go on but I think you covered it quite well! Great Hub Simone.
Simone, the best thingabout living alone is that you don't have to please anyone but yourself. What a wonderful point of view you have about living alone.
If only I read this earlier. Doh!
Clutter does have a way of sneaking up on one. Good pointers to make it a regular day of the week or month chore to try and keep it restrained...better yet...booted out the door! Good hub! When I was sharing a room in the nurses dorm prior to getting married, my roommate and I had just one closet. Hers was sparsely populated with clothing and shoes compared to mine...but everything was top notch! You and she obviously share the same mind-set, and it is a good one.
Of course...I have to keep my grubbing in the yard and painting cloths! Haha!
Good advice I am sure. I am alone but have no permament home. That's great because all the possessions I have I must be able to carry on my back...no junk. No room for too much sentimentality. It does make some of your suggestions a little more complicated but I feel sure you are right. Then again I am not always alone. My relationships are complicated to say the least. Less possessions leaves more room for love.
Thank you for sharing.
When I lived alone, I indulged in the most wonderful linens and foods. Great cheeses, wines and imported crackers were a normal staple. I also had an awesome stereo system, still do but it is seldom used now. Thanks for this great Hub.
It was such a joy to read this article :) Do not agree with indulgent food though :p
When I lived alone a good set of speakers was my most important item!
Simone...A terrifically wonderful take on living alone!
Thanks Simone for making me smile on what started out as a miserable day on my own lol!

Things that made me smile this week:
Things that made me smile this week:
I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
Brrr, looks cold! Great photos! And reading through your other posts, I'm sure a lot of great smiles 🙂
Beautiful images Dawn- but frosty cold!!
For up there it was quite nice!
Oh my,so beautiful!
Certainly is a beautiful place.

Thanks & blessings.
I'll lend you a hat and coat any time!
a great weekly smile. Is it cold there?
It is, but so beautiful you don't mind the cold.

Residents of neighborhoods with high incarceration rates endure disproportionate stress, since these communities face disrupted social and family networks alongside elevated rates of crime and infectious diseases. (The Atlantic: How Incarceration Infects a Community)
Only recently have scholars begun to re-image incarceration as an ecological variable rather than just a consequence to a behavior. Researchers used data from the Detroit Neighborhood Study and found that, after controlling for individual- and neighborhood-level factors including: history of incarceration, age, gender, race, personal income, trauma exposure, percentage of household incomes less than $25,000, and violent-crime rate –
"the effect of neighborhood-level incarceration on mental health is similar for individuals with and without a history of incarceration." (Hatzenbuehler, et al., 2015)
These findings provide evidence that there is a relationship between neighborhoods significantly impacted by incarceration and mental health that is independent of whether or not an individual has experienced the prison system themselves. This highlights the proliferation of the impacts of incarceration and how incarceration can be detrimental to the livelihood of communities. These findings showcase the need for not only large systems change but also the importance of supporting those left behind by the incarcerated. Especially their children.
There is a cumulative emotional stress which results from high incarceration rates in a community. This long-term stress may generate feedback loops that can induce substance abuse and other behaviors associated with poor mental health, and in turn lead to future intergenerational incarcerations.
Children growing up in families impacted by incarceration have shortened life expectancies. The long-term health disparities that these children face can be mitigated through intervention programming in the communities and supported longterm by policy changes. (A Plague of Prisons).
The growing research regarding the adverse experience of parental incarceration and its potential to lead to future negative outcomes relies heavily on statistical outcomes from educational data, juvenile justice statistics, and caregiver perspectives (Dallaire, 2007; Grossman et al., Jenson, 1997; Krisberg & Temin, 2001; Reed & Reed, 1997; 1992; Rutter, 1987; Werner & Smith, 1992). It is the belief of Every Single Kid, that if we are to learn anything about the need for policy changes, resource strengthening, and the needs of the child, we must first listen to the child; hear their story, learn from their insight, and work together to build bridges for their success.
In 2003 the San Francisco Children of Incarcerated Parents Partnership (SFCIPP) developed a Bill of Rights aimed at improving how children with incarcerated parents are treated and viewed. The Council on Crime and Justice wrote that "minor children of parents under some form of criminal justice control are among the most at-risk, yet least visible, populations of children." The United States has just 4.4 percent of the world's population but the highest percentage of the world's incarcerated at 22 percent (Walmsley, 2013). Despite the highest incarceration rate in the world and an overwhelming population of children impacted by their parent's incarceration, our society pays little prolonged attention to the children that live on the frayed edges of our society.
The SFCIPP developed the Bill of Rights for Children with Incarcerated Parents in response to the numerous court cases that have delineated the Rights of the Prisoner. Although The Rights of the Prisoner are limited and difficult to enforce, they are legally recognized (Prisoner's Rights, n.d.). The children of these incarcerated individuals are guaranteed nothing yet are forced to forfeit their homes, schools, neighborhoods, public perception, self-image, safety, and their parents.
The Bill of Rights are highlighted on the main page of this website and set the foundation for which Every Single Kid was created. The eight Bill of Rights for Children of Incarcerated Parents from the SFCIPP (2003) are:
- I have the right to be kept safe and informed at the time of my parent's arrest
- I have the right to be heard when decisions are made about me
- I have the right to be considered when decisions are made about my parent
- I have the right to be well cared for in my parent's absence
- I have the right to speak with, see and touch my parent
- I have the right to support as I face my parent's incarceration
- I have the right not to be judged, blamed or labeled because my parent is incarcerated
- I have the right to a lifelong relationship with my parent.

For the glass collectors who might want to venture into this area of collecting it is quite rewarding because two fine people from Philadelphia not far from where I reside here in Southern New Jersey took the time to put together this remarkable book. Armed with this information it is easy to find these salts. The two people who put this book together are a husband and wife team Logan Wolfe Neal and his wife Dorothy Broom Neal. They along with help from some of the most versed experts in the pressed glass field James Rose,Ruth Webb Lee ,George and Helen Mc'kearin. There are some beautiful designs and a multitude of colors to look for. For you bottle collectors who have run out of room because of shear volume these salts are roughly 3 and a half inches by 1 and three quarter inches in size making them a good choice for a massive collection with little room needed to display them. I personally got started collecting these by total accident as I acquired one through a group lot win on an online auction. After researching the salt I found out it was quite rare and looked great. From there began a new adventure........ There are 39 category's that were charted ,but there are over 500 variants including different colors of the same variant to look for. What is slightly different about these salts to the American only collector is,the Neals Allowed European glass mainly French (but a small percentage over all about a half percent) to be included. Today I will show you the Front page and the index of the book. Then the entire Stags horn Category along with salts from my own collection so you can see first hand how I was able to identify which variants I had found and how easily a new collector could get similar results. The Basic patterns of the Stags Horn group at first glance are the same,however it is the subtle differences usually on the base of these that determines rarity and value. As is in the bottle collecting world color is king. First I will show you the lay out of each page which is completely consistent through out the book.

I was on a long road trip this week, and noticed a loss of power around 65 mph. The next day, I checked most of the obvious things: air filters, PCV, etc. They looked alright, but I replaced them anyway. After that, I used some fuel injector cleaner in the tank. This didn't help - I actually noticed the problem getting worse. I actually couldn't go more than 30 mph, with very limited rpm's when I tried to rev the engine after I parked it. What do you think might be wrong?
The timing has jumped. Timing is the most common issue with the engine. The timing chain guides and tensioners on these engines have chain guides with teflon plastic parts that start falling apart, which causes the timing chain to loosen; the tensioner will go as far as it can, but the chain will still be loose. This looseness will allow the chain to sometimes jump camshaft timing and cause the engine to lose power or not start at all. The broken chain pieces will get into the oil pan and clog the oil pump pickup screen, starving the engine for oil, and possibly leading to bearing damage.

On Monday the 14th July, 20 of our under 8 boys and their families were up and on the road at 7a.m. to make the journey to Croke Park for our hurling match. We were there good and early and donned our gear to play in the cauldron that is our national stadium.
We all assembled in the stands waiting for our turn to be called into the dressing rooms, to experience the pre-match ritual that all our county players go through. We then got to run out through the dug out for our photos and onto the pitch and enter into battle. We were drawn against Clondalkin Round Towers, who previously had the upper hand on our lads in Gormanston. But with great heart, spirit, a lot of courage and tenacity in true Harps tradition our lads battled it out.
We fought hard to in all sections of the pitch and we kept a level score card for the first quarter, however with some unlucky breaks of the ball we were down by 3 goals. The lads fought hard and got the upper hand in the second half which saw us gaining a 3 – 3 draw, at this stage of the game we were on a roll, but the final whistle blew. It was a truly great experience for all of us. We then got to parade up to the presentation area in the Hogan stand and were allowed to raise the cup…..hopefully not for the only time. Well done lads you did the Harps proud again! This has been a great year for the under 8 boys which regularly sees us fielding 28 players.
Thanks must as always go to the families of all the boys who were there in great numbers to support us, we could hear you loud and clear urging us on from the stands. Thanks for all the lifts and early starts every Saturday morning, we hope we made you proud. A big thank you to under 9s for the loan of their jerseys and a huge thanks to our mentors on the day, John Ward, Joe Morley, Neil Keoghan and Oonagh Ward. But a huge thanks to all our parents who were up so early to bring us in to Croke Park. It was a great day, come on the Harps!!

More About mSpy
Before we wrap up this article, let's take a look at some of the other features which mSpy has to offer.

NEW YORK -- Benchmark Research believes the sell-off last week of shares in firearms manufacturers was overdone, and reiterated a buy recommendation on the stocks of the biggest producers.
Some investors were spooked by a monthly decline in the number of firearms checks being performed. Those checks, under the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, are considered a good barometer of arms sales. Such security checks are mandated under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and an uptick in activity can indicate that more people are trying to buy guns.
Many industry watchers have speculated that firearm sales are rising with some people fearing that the re-election of President Barack Obama will lead to tougher gun restrictions. The same thing happened four years ago, though there was no such change to gun laws.
Benchmark's Mike Greene wrote that the adjusted NICS climbed 14.7 percent in September. This is below the 20 percent or more growth experienced over the past four months.
While checks on long guns slowed, Greene says checks for handguns rose 23 percent in September. The analyst says handgun sales have been the primary growth drive for Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. and Sturm, Ruger & Co. over the past several years, making this figure more important to their businesses.
Sales of modern sporting rifles is also growing, Greene said, which is significant for Smith & Wesson because those rifle sales make up 75 percent of its total long gun revenue.
Shares of Smith & Wesson rose 29 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $10.51 in afternoon trading. The stock has traded in a 52-week range of $2.72 to $11.24. Sturm, Ruger & Co.'s shares added 75 cents to $45.40.

Laura was born here on February 7, 1867. Late in 1868 or in the spring of 1869, the Ingalls family left Wisconsin and traveled by covered wagon to Kansas. They found Kansas to be Indian country, so shortly after Carrie was born in August of 1870, Charles Ingalls brought his family back to the little house near Pepin. In 1871 Mary and Laura enrolled in the Barry Corner School near here. They sold this farm in 1873 and moved to Minnesota.Events - Historical

A Conversation with...Jorge L. Larco
President, J. L. Larco & Associates Inc.
As president of a consulting firm that helps global manufacturing companies implement lean enterprise techniques and turn around troubled operations, Jorge Larco has recently turned his expertise to a little-explored area of lean: complex and variable jobs—jobs where automation seems impossible.
Born in Argentina, Larco has successfully led conversions to Lean all over the world. He is the co-author of Lean Transformation, How to Transform Your Business into a Lean Enterprise (Oakley Press, 1999), currently in its eighth printing. Most recently, he has coauthored a new book, Lean Manufacturing in Build to Order, Complex and Variable Environments (Oakley Press, 2007), outlining a proven approach to using lean techniques in BTO environments.
Featured Content
What inspired you to write this book?
J.L. There's a lot of literature about lean enterprise applied to repetitive environments, but there's little experience of lean applied to nontraditional environments—engineered to order, or lots of very small quantity of products ordered all very different. But if you look at our portfolio of clients, 70% is of this kind.
Can you name a mistake that companies often make in complex situations such as BTO manufacturing?
J.L. Most of the companies we deal with rely on the knowledge of individual people to make things happen. There is not a method. Often, for instance, a business doesn't have all the parts they need when they need them—suppliers don't properly match lead times, so they continue to work with what they have rather than what they need to make things happen in an efficient manner. So we give them a method. We take a family of products and get a detailed feeling for what it takes to build them. We then follow the process and we map and measure to see where there are certain things we can standardize. We eliminate all of the no-value-added parts of the process and then balance the process in terms of how many stations, how many people, what time it takes to do things. This can be complicated.
In most cases, when you apply lean, people do not work harder, they work more intelligently, but they produce more things or widgets or parts than they were doing before. The result of that is that it's very important to design a good work station taking into consideration not only time but ergonomics as well. You have to think: How do I provide them the material they need without interrupting their work, and how do I move the product that they are value adding to from one station to another? If that is not all possible, you have to rebalance.
Is there any solution that you've found common to many different operations?
J.L. One of the basic elements to lean is workers getting material, or support, that is provided by someone else. Workers should not go and get their materials—this is a very common issue. When you go get your part you are responsible for the exact item code of the item you pick. If someone else brings it to you, they are responsible. This is a fundamental change. Traditionally , the material handler is the lowest paid person. But the material handler should be the most experienced person you have so that he can be responsible for parts and also replace any position of someone not working or on a break.
How do you measure success in this type of environment?
J.L. You have to be able to monitor progress daily. Otherwise five days will end, and you will not be able to be where you want to be. There are a number of indicators that make sense: on-time delivery, the amount of rework required, profitability. You also measure the amount of labor hours required prior to transformation and after transformation. On average, we're looking at a reduction of 60–70% of the total amount of hours it took before, especially for very complicated products.

Do I Pay Quarterly Social Security Tax if I Own an LLC?
The Internal Revenue Service gives a limited liability company options on how it is taxed, though by default the IRS treats a single-member LLC as a sole proprietorship, and a multimember LLC as a partnership. While tax regulations are fairly straightforward under the default rules, a different tax election by LLC brings in some complications for its members, as owners are called, depending on if they're classified as self-employed or employees of their own company.
LLC Default Tax Regulations
Under IRS default rules, an LLC's entire profit and loss are carried over to the members' personal tax returns. If it is a member-managed LLC, meaning the company members are actively involved in running the day-to-day operations of the company, the members share of the company's profits are considered self-employment income, even if the entire profit is not distributed. Since the company itself does not withhold taxes, each member pays quarterly estimated taxes including self-employment tax covering Social Security and Medicare payments.
Self-Employment Tax Doubled
The self-employment tax covers double the amount of Social Security and Medicare payments a regular employee would normally pay or have withheld from his paycheck. A self-employed worker must cover both the employee share and the share normally paid by the employer.
Passive Members
If the company is a manager-managed LLC, some or all of the owners are passive members who have invested in the company but do not actively play a role in its management, delegating operations to appointed or hired managers. Passive members pay income tax on their share of profits, but do not pay employment taxes covering Social Security and Medicare.
Taxed as Corporations
When an LLC elects to be taxed as a corporation, member managers must be paid a reasonable wage. No longer considered self-employed, member managers have the Social Security and Medicare payments withheld from their paychecks. The LLC itself pays the employer share as a business expense. Member managers, however, can also receive a share of profit beyond wages. Their profit share is subject to income tax but not employment tax since the IRS considers the profit share passive income.
