Genssante is an insurance agency focused on delivering Health and Life Insurance products for Canadian companies and individuals. We continually source products and services that are valuable to our clients in the ever-changing world of health care.
In recognizing the wide array of issues that arise as a result of an aging population, the advent of new and costly health care treatments, and a weakening social support infrastructure, we provide services, programs and support that go beyond the delivery of insurance products alone.
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Corporate & Executive Benefit Programs
With our corporate plans, we work with your HR team to find the perfect blend of health insurance and wellness programs to balance both your business goals and employee needs.
There's more to health benefits than reimbursement forms. Genssante offers a variety of value added services for your staff, supporting them in getting the most out of the Quality of Life Program™ you choose. We also offer programs tailored for executives.
Personal Health & Wealth Plans
With tailored individual plans, we include financial and health programs to ensure that you and your family's quality of life is not compromised, no matter what health or medical circumstances may arise.
A corporate health plan covers the basics, but they may not fit your personal goals and circumstances. And, some insurance products are simply not available in a group package.

The Fed's Quantitative Easing keeps the Big Three Building Cars
Week in Review
Governments love it when people buy houses and cars. Because building houses and cars generates a lot of economic activity. So much economic activity that central banks will flood their economies with money to keep interest rates artificially low. To encourage people to go into great debt and buy these things. Even if they don't want them. Especially if they don't want them. Because if you add in people buying things who don't want them with the people who do that's a lot of economic activity. Which is why central banks keep interest rates artificially low. To get people to buy things even when they don't want them. But do because those low interest rates are just too good to pass up.
Automotive jobs are union jobs. At least with the Big Three. Which is another reason why the Federal Reserve (America's central bank) keeps interest rates artificially low. To save union jobs. Because they support Democrats. And the Democrats take care of them. By enacting legislation that favors union-built cars. Placing tariffs and quotas on imports. And doing whatever they can to encourage the Fed to keep interest rates artificially low. So the Big Three keep building cars with union labor. Even if they're not selling the cars they build (see Spending on new cars may break record in December by Joseph Szczesny posted 12/25/2013 on CNBC).
Total vehicle sales are expected to be up at least 4 percent year over year, with the industry anticipating all-time record consumer spending on new vehicles, according to a forecast.
While new car sales started the month slowly, they are expected to finish strong, according to a monthly sales forecast developed jointly by J.D. Power and LMC Automotive. That would be a welcome development for industry planners concerned about a recent bulge in dealer inventories, which has led several manufacturers to trim production…
Vehicle production in North America through November is up 5 percent from the same time frame last year, with nearly 700,000 additional units. Even as inventory has increased, production volume remained strong last month, at 1.4 million units—a 4 percent increase from November 2012.
But there are some concerns that the industry may be turning up production faster than the market can handle. General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler continued to build inventories last month, and their combined supply climbed from 87 days at the beginning of November to 93 days by the end…
Some of the buildup can be traced to dealers' ordering pickup trucks and utility vehicles before the planned shutdowns for model changes at GM and Ford. But those two makers also have decided to take more downtime at some of their plants this month in an effort to reduce excess stock.
Automotive news is often contradictory. Sales are up they tell us. Even when inventories are growing. A sign that sales are not growing. Because when people buy more cars than they build inventories fall. But when people buy fewer cars than they build inventories rise. So when inventories are rising typically that means sales are falling. So this isn't a sign of a booming economy. But one that is likely to slip into recession. Especially when the Fed finally begins their tapering of their bond buying (i.e., quantitative easing). The thing that is keeping interest rates artificially low. And once they do those inventories will really bulge. As they do during the onset of a recession.

The governance within the University of Chichester Multi-Academy Trust is undertaken by Members, Trustees (sometimes called Directors) and Governors of individual academies. These people govern the Trust through the Trust Board and Local Governing Bodies who have delegated responsibilities from the Trust Board.
The Members are akin to the shareholders of a company. They have ultimate control over the Academy Trust, with the ability to appoint some of the Trustees and the right to amend the Trust's articles of association.
In the University of Chichester Academy Trust there are currently three Members, two of whom are also Trustees.
Professor Jane Longmore, Vice Chancellor, University of Chichester
Member and Chair of the Academy Trust Board
Margaret Eva
The Trustees are responsible for the same three core governance functions performed by the governing body in a maintained school that is, setting the direction, holding the headteacher to account and ensuring financial probity. As charity trustees, they must also ensure that they are complying with charity law requirements. Academy trusts are charitable companies and the trustees are company directors and must comply with company law requirements. This may sound daunting, but, in reality, the duties are largely the same as those of a governor of a maintained school, such as regularly attending meetings, managing conflicts of interest, seeking advice from the academy's leadership team and ensuring the academy has appropriate procedures in place for reporting financial information.
The Chair of the Board of Trustees is also a Member, thereby ensuring a link between the two layers. However there is also an Independent Member as the Members are responsible for holding the Trustees to account and this enables some separation between those serving as Trustees and those serving as Members in order to achieve robust accountability.

Duties of Trustees
Directors of a MAT or umbrella trust are also charity trustees. There are three core duties that charity trustees must comply with: the duty to compliance, the duty of prudence and the duty of care.
Duty of compliance – charity trustees must always ensure that the charity is using its resources for its charitable purposes. The charitable purpose of an academy trust is set out in the objects clause in the articles of association. Before making any decision, directors should ask the question: 'Does this directly further the academy trust's objects?' Most of the time the answer to this will be obvious but it is a good idea for directors to get into the habit of asking this question because, as academy activities diversify, it could become trickier to answer. If directors frequently ask this question they will then hopefully spot when they are considering carrying out an activity that is not in line with their charitable objects.
Duty of prudence – the duty of prudence is largely about fiscal responsibility, ensuring that the charity's assets are protected and used for the benefit of its charitable beneficiaries. Trustees must ensure that the academy trust remains solvent and keeps up-to-date with its financial records. Trustees must ensure that the academy trust's assets are used to meet its charitable objects – for example, it would not be appropriate for an academy to allow profit-making organisations to use its premises for profit-making activities free of charge. This example includes any trading subsidiary of the academy.
It is also important to avoid carrying out activities which might put the reputation or assets of the academy at risk. A common misconception is over financial reserves: it is sometimes assumed that a charity must ensure it builds reserves. It is sensible for a charity to have reserves to cover unexpected events but these should not be so large that the current charitable beneficiaries suffer as a consequence. Finally, if trustees are intending to invest or borrow money they need to ensure they comply with the terms of their articles and funding agreement, take special care over their decision and seek professional advice.
Duty of care – trustees must use reasonable care and skill in their work, using their personal skills and experience as needed to ensure that the academy trust is well-run and efficient. This duty also means that they should consider if it is appropriate to get external advice. This is a matter for trustees to decide but they should certainly consider getting external advice where there is a material risk to the academy trust or if there is a question of governors potentially breaching their duties. If trustees do get external professional advice then they are expected to follow it. If they do not, they should have a good reason for not doing so.
Duties of Directors
Directors have duties as charity trustees and specific duties as directors as defined in the Companies Act 2006 (chapter 2):
A duty to act within powers;
A duty to promote the success of the company;
A duty to exercise independent judgement;
A duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence;
A duty to avoid conflicts of interest;
A duty not to accept benefits from third parties; and
A duty to declare any interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement
Particular note should be given to the duties of avoiding conflicts of interest and declaration of any interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement; there is a very clear requirement from both the Companies Act 2006 and also the Educational Funding Agency (within the academies financial handbook) for directors to declare any interests, financial or otherwise, publicly.
In the University of Chichester Academy Trust all Trustees are also Directors.
Governors of Local Governing Bodies (LGBs)
Individuals who sit on local governing bodies (LGBs) are referred to as 'local governors'. This is because trustees can delegate governance functions to the local level. Trustees have complete discretion over what is delegated to each LBG. The Trust delegates to Local Governing Bodies on the basis of 'earned autonomy'. It delegates significant functions to academies that are performing well and only a few to those academies that need greater support.
An individual Delegation Profile is drawn up for each Academy based on the scheme of delegation and using the master scheme awarded for each academy on the basis of its skills and experience.
Scheme of Delegation
Supporting Local Governing Bodies
Local Governing Bodies are an important part of the governance of the Multi-Academy Trust. The Trust has a strong belief that an academy should be strongly grounded in its own community and the scheme of delegation and the Trust vision and objectives reflect this key driver.
Link Officer
To support the Local Governing Body the Trust provides a Trust link officer to be a key contact to the Trust for the Academy. The member of staff who provides this role will be allocated for a year and staff will be rotated to enable the academy governors to develop relationships with a number of members of the Trust central team.
Chair of Governors Support
The Trust also provides a lead consultant on governance to provide support to the Chair of Governors. Verona Hall is our lead consultant and can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com

Barefoot and dancing
Honouring the wild woman
Feeling her always and acknowledging the wild spirit.
Dreams of barefoot, running wild with the wolves.
Journeying into the wild and unseen.
Peace and bliss.
In the Bones
Returning to country
Returning to heart beat
Much wildness and love
"Just as the ancients danced to call upon the spirits in nature, we too can dance to find the spirits within ourselves that have been long buried and forgotten."

First post for the New Year ! 2014 transitioning into 2015 has been well...weird ! Normally I would set intent for the New Year in the dying hours that remains of 2014.
This year, I didn't ? Why ? Who knows?
I have a sense of "ya know it's all be gonna be ok "
Which is a pretty good way to start the New Year, can I get a high Five ? Or a Hell Yeah even ?? !!
Since I closed down the healings in Nov last year, have had major learning and teachings provided. Not forced, just being connected to the medicine I need.
I took the time to being open to what my spirit needed. So glad I did!
When you need time for yourself..Do it !! That's the best advice I can ever give, its not selfish or self indulgent.
In this fast paced world, people feel guilty if their not busy 100 percent of the time. ( I used to as well, well fuck that!@)
Eagle has always been a big teacher for me, I was still enough for the first time in a long time to actually integrate and accept the medicine that was being offered.
EPIC is all I can say about that ! Feeling Grateful and Blessed.
I still don't know when I'll be back Healing, and ya know what it's ok. Not forcing or thinking I have too, when the times right, I'll know.
As we are coming up to the first full moon of 2015, The wolf moon I'm feeling the need to HOWL, in my natural state : wild and free. Because ultimately we are FREE, our own expectations and society make us think we are not.
Flying with the Eagle's ♥
Rock On
Random Musings

When I have related my Peace Corps experiences to Ethiopians,
they have always advised that I should write them all down
and let others read. As those events are important to me and
in many ways aids in my development and maturity, I had thought
of writing about the Ethiopian experience and then discovered
that George Schulyer had stolen the title of my intended book
"Ethiopian Stories". So, I had let these memories lay fallow for
a number of years - until invited to write for this web site.
What a grand opportunity!
"Harar". This word evokes many emotions, experiences and positive
feeling about my Peace Corps years which were without a doubt,
all positive. Even this many years later, now more than 30,
I find that on occasion I still dream about Harar.
Harar has many beginnings and as yet, no end for me.
I had thought that when I retire I would return to Harar
either to teach again or to farm a small piece of land.
And, Harar would become my resting place, under a large
spreading tree located at the bend in the road on the way to
It is under that tree that I could view the old city of Harar
and watch the people as they journeyed to and from the markets.
It was for me, a place of peace. For those curious, as you leave
Harar and travel past the hospitals and Military Academy towards
Jijigga, sitting on the left hand side of the road is a large
tree situated in such a way that you can see the minarets of the
mosque in the old city and yet have a view of the traffic going
and coming from the east.
At the time that I was there, Ato Joseph was behind the counter
at the Post Office, dutifully screening our mail and magazines
for us. There was no water to be had in Harar except from the
backs of donkeys carrying four, heavy metal containers. There
was water from the wells of Besidemo but that is another story.
It was Mr. Antonacchi behind the counter at his restaurant
offering up spaghetti for lunch. It was the bakery near the Post
Office with its delicious odors for freshly baked dabo. It was
the tej and buna bets on the street behind Mr. Antonacci's
restaurant that were the source of some dancing, carousing and
good times. It was also there ( as suspected much later ) that
Mengistu Haile-Mariam, the officer from the Academy played the
part of trouble maker even then in the middle 60's.
It was Ato Alemsegged as principal at Medhane Alem, freshly
returned from the United States where he had studied for his
Masters in Education. It was a wonderful student from the old
city, Hanim, whose mother, affectionately called 'Basket Mary",
sold the most beautiful baskets in all Harar. It was the windy
paths in the old city that were always intriguing and a source
of exploration and delight.
The Harar story begins with a trip up the mountainside in a
diesel bus with a driver who understood that these 'ferengoch'
have never traveled from Dire Dawa to Harar and drove the bus up
the escarpment through the first corner at an amazing speed,
waiting until the last moment to make the turn keeping us from
an unpleasant death on the ravine side of the road! But a few of
us, having restored our breathe looked in his rear-view mirror
to see that he is enjoying his joke with a big smile on his face! At the time, I believe that we were too scared and respectful to swear any oath at him!
The first day starts with our bus driver dropping us off at
Medhane Alem School. The pictures that I have seen from the
50th Anniversary Booklet show the gates and the front of the
school identically to the memory pictures in my mind from 35
years ago. So, there we were Peace Corps volunteers in a new city
, with a strange language that we had not completely mastered and
left to the mercies of the previous volunteers in the town. As
it turned out, there was a house at the other end of Yeshemabet
road that could take four volunteers and so four of us, who had
trained together but had not known each other, decided to take
the house.
Our home was located the end of Yeshemabet near the meat
rendering plant and the old graveyard. We involved ourselves
with moving in, setting up the house, pretending to interview
the cook and student/houseboy ( what the heck did we know about
these things? - we were all recent college graduates! ). Our cook,
Ayelish, prepared some 'western food' for us and we collapsed
from the altitude, the excitement and the novelty. We managed
through the first night and then to school(s) the next day, TTI
and Medhane Alem for meetings and meetings and meetings.
It was just a day later when I was to have and experience what
I would call the 'defining moment' of my Peace Corps days in
Ethiopia and in particular, Harar. While there are other events
and memories that support what I learned at this time, none were
as intense and unambiguous as this.
After the second day of school, I was curious to visit the old
city of Harar. In my teacher attire, casual clothes and a tie,
I wandered down the main street to Feras Megallah, one of the
entrances to the old city. It was about 5 p.m. and the sun was
setting. As I started to walk down the rutted cobble stone path
into the old city, I felt a touch on my arm and turned to face a
man who said, "Sir, it is not safe for you to go down there
alone". Even now, I remember the confusing thoughts that raced
through my mind when hearing that statement. [ An interlude: By
this time in our young Peace Corps lives, we had trained with
Ethiopians and had developed a wonderful respect for these
people. The furthest in our mind was the possibility that we
would face 'unpleasantness' in Ethiopia. This was, of course,
before the children chanted 'ferengi, ferengi, ferengi' and the
beggars 'silet, maksheesh, baksheesh' and then showing anger and
frustration - as we too had so little to give. ]
The speaker was an older person. I guessed around 50. He was
wearing a khaki suit, the type that were popular at the time.
I would guess that he was a government employee or teacher or
professional. Our conversation continued "Oh, I am sure that I
will be all right". "No, sir, it is becoming dark and it is not
safe for you to go alone." What to do? "Well, I will visit just
for a minute. I want to see the market. " "Then, I will go with
you" and with that he took my arm and gently directed me towards
the Muslim market. I can remember various musings. "Was he part
of the reason that it was unsafe? I feel like a little child. Is
it really unsafe? Am I keeping this man from his family?" With
those thoughts swirling, we walked into the market area and I
visited the meat shops, examined the spices in baskets on the
ground and after what I felt was a reasonable 'minute' that I
had mentioned earlier, I said. "This is wonderful. I have seen
enough to return during the day" and started to head back up to
Feras Megallah.
As we were walking the thought occurred to me that I had missed
the point entirely. I started to think that he had offered the
'unsafe story' so that it would allow him to 'guide' me for a
time and earn some money. My explanation seemed more plausible
than his 'unsafe'. As we reached the end of our walk and were
again with the garries, taxis and lorries of Feras Megallah,
I reached into my pocket for a birr to pay him for his kindness.
As I offered my 'thank you' and my money, he gently pushed my
hand aside and said, "Sir, I did not do it for the money".
Seconds passed which seemed like a century as I reframed the
moment. I held out my hand to shake his and said, 'thank you for
your kindness". He wished me a good stay in "his country" and
turning, went on his way.
I never saw that man again. I can only reflect on that moment as
the beginning of two very memorable years in Harar. And if I
could see him again, I would thank him for sharing what is truly
the Ethiopian spirit and let him know that as a Peace Corps
volunteer, I too, did not do it for the money.

Young Yellowtail and Daikon Stew
This recipe, called "Inada Daikon no Nimono" in Japanese, will let you get a taste of mom's homestyle cooking from Japan. The combination of yellowtail fish ("inada" in Japanese) and daikon radish is so good!
from cookpad.com
Serves 2
- Inada/Young yellowtail fish (4 fillets)
- Daikon radish (1/4)
- Scallions (to taste)
- * Sake (1/2 cup)
- * Soy sauce (3 Tbsp)
- * Mirin (1 Tbsp)
- * Ginger (1 chunk)
Step 1
Cut daikon into 2 cm thick slices, rounding off the pointy edges with a knife (it prevents it from losing its shape). Boil in water used for washing rice (it helps soften the daikon, but regular water is okay too) until daikon is soft.
Step 2
In a separate pot, bring some water to a boil and add the fish. Cook until the fish changes colour. Strain and set aside.
Step 3
Add the sake, soy sauce, mirin and ginger to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the fish and simmer for about 10 minutes on medium.
Step 4
When the taste has soaked into the fish, add the daikon, 2 cups of water and bring to a simmer again. When the flavor has soaked into all the ingredients, serve and enjoy!
Step 5

Modern parenting has taken an about turn compared to the good old ways. Parents have changed the blueprint to be bringing up healthy and lively kids. Nowadays the mantra is to keep the child happy by giving them whatever they need. The child has become the boss. Most parents are scared of the tantrum the child will throw up in front of people and to save themselves from the embarrassment end up persuading the child by bribing them with things. The child also gradually learns to take advantage of the situations and the parents fear to good effect. They know the times they are going to get things when they as for it. And they target to have their demands met at these times.
That's why you see children these days not willing to sit down in one place for a moment. They have so much toys surrounding them that they don't know what to play with and they keep shifting from one thing to another every few minutes. And this behavior will automatically translate into their lives later on and affect their performance in school as well. And they have such a huge collection of toys because they get gifts for every small thing they do like being well behaved at a party and sometimes because the parents just feel like buying them a gift. Gone are the days when gifts were given only once or twice a year and children were given only toys like a cheap dartboard and darts for sale singapore that their parents found if they achieved something great. But for kids of the modern generation it's like birthday every day. Or at least every other day.
These days when you walk into a toy store you will see the front of the shops filled with toys making loud noises and having various colored lights blinking on and off. These are meant to attract the children towards them. But do these toys actually make the children learn anything useful. Do they help the children develop any skills? No they don't. So if you as a parent are thinking about buying your child a toy then you should consider buying them something that will help make them curious and learn something or get them to develop a skill. For example to buy dart sets for children will help them develop their aiming and will help them with various sports in life later on. Although these tiny details seem insignificant they should definitely be considered by parents at all times.


text: Creating the key management systems market leader for dealerships - Traka Automotive Q&A Article – 15th February 2015 Based on an interview with Paul Smith, Director of new dealership key management market leader Traka Automotive Q1: When did you establish eTag Solutions? A1: I created eTag in 2001 having spent over seven years at Ford Credit. Q2: How did you spot this market opportunity? A2: I had worked at the captive finance house Ford Credit and my co-founders also had an intimate knowledge of the dealership world. We saw a need for key management systems at dealers, originally to help the finance company track the vehicles they were funding rather than sending out expensive auditors to count stock! We realised that it was far easier to track keys than cars and that the benefits of a key system were actually greater to the dealership itself and so eTag was born. Q3: What was the trigger/stimulus to go it alone? A3: Interestingly the stimulus to go out on our own was following a meeting with Traka in which they understood our objectives and were very supportive about us becoming a distributor for their key cabinets: which were streets ahead of the competition then, as now. They also agreed to give us an ability to integrate our software with their cabinets so the two could work together seamlessly. We then knew we could offer a complete solution to dealers that could afford the combined systems Q4: What growth were you able to achieve during this time? What size did you reach? A4: Almost immediately after we struck this partnership agreement with Traka, we won a contract to supply nearly 40 Mercedes-Benz (then Daimler-Chrysler) dealerships with eTag and Traka systems. That took us over 18-months to complete and took our sales over £200,000. We grew at a rate of 15-20% year on year after that. Last year our sales exceeded £500,000. Q5: How many dealerships and what percentage of the dealer market in the UK did you grab? A5: We were able to take a 40% share of the Mercedes-Benz dealerships, nearly 30% of BMW group dealerships, just over 20% of Porsche dealers as well as some others including Essex Auto Group. Q6: Why were sales limited to prestige dealerships in the main? A6: The dealerships that tended to invest very quickly were those that saw the most obvious ROI and these were naturally those with lots of high value stock, operating large sites, big workshops, complex locations with multiple buildings or locations and managing large car parcs where a single loss through theft could cost the business far more than the capital expenditure of a large key management system Q7: What are the key advantages of bringing Traka and eTag Solutions together from the customer's point of view? A7: Principally dealers now know they have a one stop shop for the very best all in one key management system for automotive. We have the best hardware, best software, best support and domain knowledge of this market. We can offer flexibility around terms of business including leasing of hardware and subscription-based software licensing and IT support. We are quite simply the only viable key management solution for the whole UK dealership market now. Q8: What does eTag's know-how and software bring to Traka? A8: Collectively we have over 100 years of automotive experience within the management team and senior level contacts with more than 2,000 senior decision-makers in the UK dealership world. We have spent more than 14 years understanding dealers, how they work, what their problems are and developing, enhancing and fine-tuning our software accordingly to make it easier to use and give it increased functionality to guarantee multiple benefits to dealers and deliver ROI in as little as three months. Q9: Why has a separate division called Traka Automotive had to be established? A9 Setting up Traka Automotive is a strong statement from Traka that, for the first time, it has a dedicated division led by me which is solely focused on this market. This focus is valuable and Traka knows that it is important not to dilute this domain knowledge but instead concentrate it in Traka Automotive. Automotive is a very complex market sector. The key management problems experienced by dealers are very different and more difficult to resolve than in other industries. The responsibility for managing keys is cascaded to everyone in the business and it's impossible to manage these at a transactional level. Any system therefore has to fit the path of least resistance wherever that may be in the dealership whilst being compliant with management objectives. This is a very difficult target to achieve. We do not believe this can be achieved by any other solution which is why we call Traka Automotive's key management solution 'The only viable key management solution for automotive dealerships.' Q10: What are the advantages of this for existing and future customers? A10: For existing eTag customers they will see no immediate change. Traka hardware customers will get an opportunity to very easily upgrade to eTag software to help them optimise legacy investment in Traka hardware. All will gain the benefit of an enlarged technical and sales support that remains wholly focused on helping them grow their business through better management of keys. We can get you in a position where you are making money from keys – not losing it. Q11: Will it mean a larger investment in R&D by Traka? A11: In time, we will get access to additional R&D as we plan global expansion as changes will inevitably have to be made in the underlying IT architecture of eTag to enable us to take it globally. Q12: If so, what development(s) are in the pipeline? A12: In addition to redevelopment for global deployment we will also be adapting the system to meet the needs of non-dealership businesses which are processing lots of vehicles and would benefit from better key management. We also have a smartphone and tablet front end coming later this year which will be particularly helpful to those businesses running with Car Park Attendants or Logistics staff working outside. Q13: What is average cost of a system post-acquisition? A13: It is possible to use our leasing and monthly subscription models to run a new 100-key system for as little as £32 per week which would give instant payback in terms of improved customer experience, security and productivity. Q14: How can eTag interact with other systems such as Dealer Management Systems and is this likely to be valuable? A14: eTag already integrates with most major DMSs. This is of particular value during system set up and day to day usage because we can pull vehicle inventory information through to the key management system without to avoid manual data entry when creating key records. Q15: Why did Assa Abloy decide to purchase eTag – a small company relative to its own size and acquisition history? A15: eTag works! It is proven, well-loved and delivers value to our customers. We had a strong and growing share of the prestige sector. From focus comes dominance: our domain expertise, reputation and contact book give Traka a significant springboard for dominance of this market in the UK in the next few years and globally given a few more years. Q16: What is the predicted growth percentages in the next 12-month and beyond? A16: We should achieve more than 100% growth in 2015 and close to the same percentage in 2016. But what is more important than explosive sales growth longer term is having a happy client-base that will come back to us for expansion and enhancement of their key management system once it is showing positive benefits for them. Q17: How has the transition from running your own small software business to being part of a global multi-million pound operation been? A17: To some extent it's been 'back to the future' for me as I started my career in one of the largest companies in the world - Ford. The key is that we are both laser-guided in our focus on the UK dealership world and being the best key management provider for this market. It's great to have a larger team around me now to make that vision attainable.

Just finished a new video on my original photography. Cancel the stock be original. When it comes to showing "your" message there is only one way to go – hire a professional photographer to represent your company, your people, your product.
Just uploaded some new and old products we've shot on location and in the studio. Products are especially great to photograph in the nice warm studio. Particularly this winter.
Just finished with a new video of my product photography for all to view. Check it out.
Just received the final shots of some food photography we had shot at the end of December. Jim Bacha – art director from Stevens – Baron Communications did a great job of taking my studio work from two different products we had shot and making them into very large colorful displays.
I had the opportunity to photograph a couple of chefs for an upcoming
Tri-C event. Both of these guys were real naturals in front of the camera
making my work easy. I was able to shoot Mike Piazza at the Lakewood restaurant Melts. Nice location and we appreciated the background.
Mike is also promoting a line of his sauce which should be tried. www.piazzasauce.com
Brian Doyle needed a headshot and he found my location on the west bank of the flats
to suit his needs. Another great shot. You can contact Brian at: email@example.com

Il Calendario di Sale
Onions and salt to predict the weather in the New Year? Over our years on the land, I've learned how farm women can take off il malocchio, how St. Anthony's image in a stall will keep the animals healthy, how a cross made of woven reeds can protect the crops in the field and that you never shake out a tablecloth nor throw out the crumbs swept off the floor after the Ave Maria (ie, after 6 pm) – and now I've learned how to predict the coming year's weather with onions and salt.
In early January, what a feast with Paolo and Giuseppa at their Deruta farmhouse (the only foods on their table NOT raised by them are the sugar, coffee and salt). After sips of the cedrino liqueur Giuseppina makes from her citronella plant (limoncello has a tough competitor here), Paolo went out to the cellar where they age their prosciutti.
He came back balancing gingerly a long wooden board with twelve wedges of onion sprinkled with rock salt, all in a line down the board. Pointing to them one at a time, Giuseppa designated each slice as a month of the year: "gennaio, febbraio, marzo, aprile, marzo…", she chanted solemnly.
Paolo, il capo famiglia, had peeled the outer level of a couple large white onions on Christmas Eve and then sliced them into twelve half-moon-shaped wedges, lining up the sections on the board, then dropping a teaspoon of rock salt onto each wedge. Out in the cellar where crates of potatoes, cabbages, fennels, and squash fill the floor space and bunches of garlics, onions hang over the just-salted prosciutti, he set the board, making sure the head of the board faced east towards the rising sun.
On the morning of December 25th, he and Giuseppa headed to the cellar to check the slices. Some onion wedges were dry, some were moist with water. A dry onion presaged a dry month in 2012, a wet onion slice heralded a rainy month. On the 25th, the count of the months is reversed and "gennaio" starts from the first onion at the other end of the board. Giuseppa took out the calendar and penciled in "asciutto" (dry), "bagnato" ("wet") or even molto bagnato (water pooling in the onion wedge) on each month of their farmhouse kitchen calendar.
She and Paolo would check their calendario della cipolla in the cellar every day til January 6th, i.e., for all the twelve days of Christmas. The prediction of the 25th would be reaffirmed daily ("it always is", Paolo assured) and then the onion wedges could be discarded.
"When we were poor and no one had televisions with weather reports," Giuseppa explained, "this was how we contadini kept a calendar." The prediction of wet months, drier ones would be instrumental to any farm family in deciding when best to sow, when to prune vineyards, olive trees and fruit trees, when to harvest the wheat, oats, barley, corn and the grapes and the olives. The onion always served as a perfect barometer.
Does it work? "Certo!" Paolo beamed, explaining that he learned il calendario del sale from his grandmother "and she learned from her nonna.".
I told my farm neighbors here near Assisi about the "Caldendario della Cipolla" of the Deruta rural culture the other day. (Deruta is 25 km. from us). They had never heard of it and laughed, I asked them, "but you all believe in the evil eye, don't you?"
"Aha, …e vuoi paragonare il malocchio con la cipolla?!" ("……and you want to compare the evil eye with a wet onion?!")
Afterthought: Often, today's caledars are scribbled with reminders of doctor appointments, anniversaries, tax payment days, school registrations, deadlines. Giuseppa and Paolo's calendar has just three notes: asciutto, bagnato, molto bagnato. Perhaps a reminder to each of us to simplify in the New Year…….?

fascinating…. hope you enjoy the book. let me know when it arrives..
Always a revealing and interesting story from you, Annie. I met Chris and Laurie's daughter last week. She hand her husband now live in Dallas, and she may actually end up working here with me, at the Chamber…we'll see if that pans out…Hope you can visit us in our new house!!
Love you!
Hello Annie! It seems like only yesterday when we were with you, Gina and Mike, Giuseppa and Paolo on this very day, enjoying the great food and drink and learning about the customs of this wonderful couple from Deruta! We'll never forget the warm welcome we received when we first arrived; their obvious pride of their property including meeting the hogs/cows and hunting dogs (to help with the boar hunts) and the sight of the butchered hogs hanging in their large shed!!

California Real Estate Recovery Means Higher Property Taxes for Many
(Reuters) - California's recovering real estate market means higher property taxes for homeowners whose bills were reduced during the economic downturn, despite tough protections against tax hikes imposed by voters decades ago, a new report says.
After rising by double digits for years during the housing boom, property values in some parts of the most populous U.S. state dropped by more than half during the mortgage meltdown that began in 2007, leading the tax collectors to grant reductions in the levies charged to fund schools, local government and other programs.
But values have started to climb back up, increasing by 12 percent in 2012 and almost 20 percent in 2013, the state legislative analyst's office said in its report.
Most people in the state will not be affected, the report said. But for those who purchased their homes at the top of the market and later got a tax reduction, assessments will come back up along with the value of their properties.
Property taxes in California are limited to 1 percent of a home's assessed value - and increases in that value are typically kept artificially low under the tax relief initiative known as Proposition 13, which passed in 1978.
Under the law, the assessed value of a home may rise by just 2 percent each year, even if the market value of the property increases by much more than that.
The exception, however, is when the assessed value of a house or business property has been reduced due to a drop in the market. In those cases, the assessed value rises in future years to the market level, or to the level that it would have been under Proposition 13's rules, whichever is lower.
People who purchased their homes at the top of the market are the most likely to be in this position, because their taxes would have been based on the market value at that time.
For them, tax rates could go up by as much as 20 percent next year, and 10 percent per year after that, as the market returns to its former level, the report said.

Amman's history spans nine millennia dating back to the Stone Age. It boasts one of the largest Neolithic settlements (c.6500 BC) ever discovered in the Middle East. The Citadel hill contains early Bronze Age tombs (3300-1200 BC).By the beginning of the Iron Age Amman had become the capital of the Ammonites, referred to in the Bible, and was called Rabbath-Ammon. It was here that King David of Israel killed Uriah the Hittite. Fortress towers ringed the city at that time - the best preserved of these can still be seen today - but they were little protection against King David's attack. His forces toppled the Ammonites and, apart from a brief revival in the 9th and 8th centuries BC, the area was ruled in succession by the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians for several hundred years. By the 4th century BC the city had been renamed "Philadelphia" after its Ptolemaic ruler, Philadelphus. Seleucid and Nabataean rule followed until 63 BC, when it was absorbed into the Roman Empire and the Roman general, Pompey, annexed Syria and made Philadelphia part of the Decapolis League - an alliance of ten free city states with overall allegiance to Rome. The Romans rebuilt the city with colonnaded streets, baths, a theatre and impressive public buildings. Philadelphia found itself at the centre of the new Roman province of Arabia and of lucrative trade routes running between the Mediterranean and an interior that stretched to India and China as well as routes north and south. The city flourished.
During the Byzantine period, when Christianity became the official religion of the Eastern Roman Empire, the city was the seat of a Christian Bishop and two churches were constructed. By the early 7th century, Islam was already spreading northwards from the Arabian Peninsula and, by 635 AD, had embraced the land as part of its domain. The city returned to its original Semitic name of Ammon or, as it is known today, Amman.With various shifts in political power over the following centuries, Amman's fortunes declined. During the Crusades and under the Mameluks of Egypt, Amman's importance was overtaken by the rise of Karak in the south. By 1321 AD, it was reported that Amman was "a very ancient town and was ruined before the days of Islam" there are great ruins here and the river al-Zarqa flows through them."Under the Ottoman Empire, Amman remained a small backwater with As-Salt being the main town of the area. By 1806, the city was reported to be uninhabited except for the Bedouins.The departure of the Ottomans from the region coincided with the exodus of a large numbers of Circassian and other persecuted Muslims from the Caucasus. They found refuge in the area and established a settlement on the east bank of the Jordan River. Although they were mostly farmers, amongst these early settlers there were also gold and silversmiths and other craftsmen, and it wasn't long before they built rough roads linking their settlement to Amman. Commerce, once again, began to flourish. Learn more about Amman's historical sites
But it was the construction of the Hejaz Railway which really brought the city back to life. Linking Damascus with Medina, the railway passed through Amman in 1902. Once again, Amman became the centre of a busy trade route and its population began to grow. By 1905, the city held a mixed population of some 3000 people.
On May 5th,1923, the Emirate of Transjordan came into existence, with Emir Abdullah, a Hashemite and direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), as its undisputed leader. On the March 22nd,1946, Transjordan secured its independence. Two months later, Abdullah's title of Emir was changed to King, and the country was renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, with Amman as its capital.
Over the ensuing decades the city has expanded and flourished to become a modern, lively, commercial metropolis of well over two million people. Excellent hotels and accommodation, gourmet restaurants, coffee shops, shopping centres, offices and luxury villas have replaced older dwellings. However, there is still much of the old city to be admired.In addition to its numerous archaeological sites, Amman has many museums, art galleries and cultural centres, as well as theatres and cinemas.The Royal Film Commission of JordanThe Royal Film Commission of Jordan aims to contribute to the development of an internationally competitive Jordanian audio-visual production industry, partly by developing and cultivating film culture, and by encouraging Jordanians to use film and audio-visual media to tell their stories, voice their opinions and express their ideas. The Commission also provides opportunities for audiences to get together with filmmakers to watch independent and experimental films, open a dialogue with filmmakers, exchange ideas, and cultivate multimedia literacy.

A wide range of leisure and wellness opportunities are available for visitors to Amman. Most of the leading hotels have swimming pools, tennis courts and excellent, fully-equipped and professionally managed spas and fitness centres. Within the city are many private gyms and sports facilities as well as clubs and sports organizations for everything from horseback riding, cycling, and flying to golf, basketball football and running.Amman also has a large water park, with lots of slides and rides, to keep children and the young at heart cool and entertained for hours.A visit to the Hammam is a good way to discover more about the local culture. This is an Arabic-style communal bathhouse, highly popular throughout Jordan and the region since Roman times. The baths consist of three main rooms - a Frigidarium, Tepidarium and Calidarium – the cold, warm and hot rooms respectively. This is a totally invigorating experience for both mind and body. After a long day of visiting Amman's many attractions, there is no better way to unwind than by visiting one of the luxurious spas found in many of the city's leading hotels. The spas combine Eastern and Western techniques and offer luxurious body treatments, rejuvenating facials, cleansing scrubs and body wraps, and relaxing massages. The Jordanian people are extremely health-conscious, so it's hardly surprising that the country's clinics and medical and research facilities are notable within the region.

On Friday, I made my third trip to Mutianyu. This time, I went local and foreign colleagues.
In these photographs, I was trying to capture aspects of the Great Wall which I'd not previously shot. The three interior shots are from one of the guard towers along the wall. The outdoor shot shows the lush scenery and beautiful skies we had that day. (I think that the interior shots highlight the capabilities of both the Lumix DMC-GX7 and Lightroom 5.4.)
These and other pictures from my previous trips to Mutianyu are on flick here.

Everything you need to know about the role and responsibilities of a Family Advocate
Consulting a Family Advocate

The professional component of the Office of the Family Advocate comprises of lawyers (Family Advocates) and social workers (Family Counselors) , who operate in multi- disciplinary teams to ensure a holistic and qualitative approach to the best interests of the child throughout the dispute resolution or the court adjudication process.

The powers and duties of the Family Advocate according to the Mediation in Certain Divorce Matters Act, 1987 (Act 24 of 1987) are:
To institute an enquiry so as to be able to furnish the court with a report and recommendation on any matter concerning the welfare of the minor child;

Important points about the Family Advocate
The Family Advocate cannot be subpoenaed to Court as a witness to give evidence on behalf of any party even if his or her recommendation is in favour of that party. The recommendation of the Family Advocate is intended to assist the Court in adjudicating a matter and arriving at a particular order. The recommendation itself is not enforceable unless incorporated in a Court Order. The Family Advocate is a neutral institution and cannot act as the legal representative for either litigant (complainant), in a matter.
Steps to follow
Contact your nearest Family Advocate to request an enquiry or, mediation of your legal dispute Upon receipt of the request, the family advocate institutes an inquiry during which he or she interviews you and the parties involved to determine your personal circumstances and the background of the matter. Where mediation is requested the Family Advocate will be the mediator. The Family Counsellor then interviews the children separately, so as to enable such children to exercise their statutory right to be heard and to enable the Family Advocate to convey their views to the Court. The Family Advocate will communicate whatever decision taken, which significantly affects the welfare of the child, to such child. Upon completion of the enquiry or mediation process the Family Advocate will file a report for the Court and furnish copies to the parties or their lawyers.
