SCOTT Naylor believes Oldham have been penalised unfairly by an RFL disciplinary procedure which has cost him the services of Michael Ward for two games while Workington Town's Jarrod Sammut received only a caution for a dangerous throw on Adam Clay in the same match.
"I'm told everything is black or white and it has to be like that in pursuit of consistency," said the disgruntled Oldham boss.
Following two incidents picked up on video by the sport's Match Review Panel in a relegation battle which Workington edged 32-30, Oldham prop Ward submitted an early guilty plea for illegally using his elbow and received a statutory two-match ban. Winger Clay suffered a serious shoulder injury, which will rule him out for another two weeks.
Both tackles involved Town's star half-back Sammut, who escaped with a caution for his foul tackle on Clay and was deemed to be the victim in a skirmish which followed his tackle on Ward.
The net result denies Roughyeds the services of Ward and Clay in another relegation "four pointer" with Workington at Bower Fold on Sunday, while the Cumbrians will look to Sydney-born Sammut to come up withe another match-winning performance.
Ward, penalised on the intervention of a touchjudge, admitted 'intentional' use of his elbow and was charged with a grade 'C' offence, which has recommended sanctions of two to three matches.
His early guilty plea meant his ban would be no more than two — Workington at home and Swinton Lions away in the first two of seven crucial Kingstone Press Championship Shield Super 8s fixtures which will determine whether Naylor's men stay up or go down.
Oldham claim that Ward's reaction was triggered by Sammut's attempt to hold him down after the tackle, thus preventing a quick play-the-ball at a time when Roughyeds were two points down and attacking strongly.
Sammut on Clay directly followed the Town player's rare clanger in failing to put a penalty into touch. Oldham's winger came away with the ball and was heavily tackled by Sammut, who was immediately penalised.
In their assessment, recorded on the RFL website, the Match Review Panel referred to Sammut's "dangerous throw" and concluded: "The player (Sammut) makes/applies a lifting motion, taking the player (Clay) into a potentially dangerous position. The player (Clay) lands on his side. However, the lifting technique was unnecessary and worthy of a caution."
Clay played on after on-field repairs, but he clearly restricted and was later found to have suffered a grade-two tear of the shoulder muscle.
Reacting to the circumstances surrounding the loss of two key players at the most critical part of the year, Naylor said: "It's a bit strong. We get to the Super 8s and lose one of our best forwards for two games for trying to get somebody off him after the tackle, which is part of the game.
"Adam Clay won't play either because he was spear tackled , but that didn't warrant a suspension."
Implying that incidents should be considered singularly and on the evidence available, rather than categorised with grades and recommended sanctions, the Oldham boss added: "I'm told we have to stick by the rules because everything is black and white so that we get consistency. That's what I'm told.
"As always, we have to fight on. We don't seem to get much luck in things like this but we have to accept it, battle on and get through it."
Led by Naylor and his two assistants, Lee Spencer and Pete Carey, Roughyeds are urging fans to turn up in numbers at Bower Fold on Sunday (3pm) to give their players maximum vocal backing in a game that will go a long way to determining whether Oldham avoid the drop.
They are three points better off than bottom two Workington and Whitehaven and a Roughyeds win on Sunday would make it difficult for the Cumbrian clubs to catch them.
If Workington were to win their fourth game in a row, though, Naylor's men would be under enormous pressure to win the next game at Swinton, who lead 2-1 in their three derby clashes already this season.
* Ex-Oldham captain Robert Roberts, the club's newly-appointed community coach, holds the second session of his school-holidays Summer Camp at Whitebank tomorrow (Thurs), from 10am to noon for children aged seven to 12 and from 1pm to 3pm for 13s to 16s. Admission is free.

FA Cup: Nottingham Forest 4 Arsenal 2
PUBLISHED: 18:38 07 January 2018
PA Wire/PA Images
FA Cup holders Arsenal crashed out at the third-round stage for the first time under Arsene Wenger after an action-packed tie at the City Ground.
The home side benefitted from two penalties along the way, including another controversial spot-kick against the Gunners, and ended with 10 men after defender Joe Worrall was sent off in the closing minutes.
But it made no difference to the outcome as Arsenal were left to wonder what might have been.
Wenger began a three-match ban by sitting in the stands and made nine changes to his starting line-up from Wednesday's 2-2 Premier League draw with Chelsea.
Defenders Rob Holding and Ainsley Maitland-Niles were the only ones retained from midweek, with Calum Chambers the most experienced member of the substitutes bench.
And Arsenal fell behind on 20 minutes when American Eric Lichaj headed in from close range for the home side.
Parity was restored just three minutes later, though, as Holding's header hit a post and World Cup winner Per Mertesacker – whose first appearance of last season was the FA Cup final win over Chelsea, due to injury – followed up to level.
Forest, under caretaker-boss Gary Brazil, regained the lead just before the interval with a stunning, dipping volley from Lichaj and went 3-1 up just past the hour mark when Holding fouled Matty Cash in the box and Ben Brereton sent David Ospina the wrong way from the penalty spot.
Arsenal gave themselves late hope when Danny Welbeck capitalised on a mistake by Forest keeper Jordan Smith and cut the gap to one with 11 minutes remaining, but the hosts were awarded a second spot-kick when Mathieu Debuchy tackled Armand Traore from behind in the box.
Kieran Dowell stepped up to take the kick and beat Ospina, but Arsenal players immediately surrounded referee Jonathan Moss claiming the penalty should havee been ruled out as the Forest player had kicked the ball against his standing foot.
After consulting his linesman Moss allowed the goal to stand and although Worrall was given his marching orders for a foul on substitute Chuba Akpom, Theo Walcott's close-range miss, from a difficult angle, summed up Arsenal's disappointing afternoon as they made a piece of unwanted history.
Arsenal: Ospina, Debuchy (Akpom 87), Mertesacker, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Willock (Nketiah 65), Walcott, Iwobi, Nelson, Welbeck. Unused subs: Chambers, Reine-Adelaide, Da Silva, Macey, Osei-Tutu.

Starting a business could be a thrilling experience, which can turn to regrets when you fail to secure it well. Most small businesses are born from small ideas that could become big, successful enterprises if nurtured. The bigger a business becomes, the more vulnerable it is to security threats. That is why you need to put in place appropriate commercial security systems measures for the sake of your business security.
There are both technological and financial threats that you should always look out for when thinking about security measures. The following are ways you can follow to secure your business from any threat.
Update Your Security System
While you might feel that your commercial premises are kept secure due to the presence of a security system, if it doesn't offer business alarm monitoring 24/7, then your premises are not really secure.
Go for a commercial security system that not only makes a noise in case of an intrusion but also alerts law enforcement officers. The sooner the police get alerted by your security system, the faster they will be able to catch the intruder and the higher the chances of recovering your property.
Most business security systems capture video footage that can give details of when the crime occurred, who perpetrated it, and how they were able to break-in. Make sure you have installed security cameras in various spots around your business premises.
This is a sure way of keeping burglars away. Nowadays, most security systems for business purposes can be controlled from smartphones or PCs; you also get the option of choosing the type of security system that suits you.
Create an Emergency Plan for Cyberattacks
One of the biggest security and IT threats in today's world is ransomware. This is where a hacker will lock all your computer files by running a script and later demand for a ransom in order to release your documents.
If you are looking to secure your data from a cyberattack, it is advisable to invest in an antivirus and have a firewall. This way, you will rest easy in the knowledge that your business is well prepared for any emergency cyberattack.
Since more than 83% of businesses lose their date through cyberattacks, it is essential to protect your firm from phishing and spam attacks.
Control Access to Your Business
This should be the most obvious security plan to secure your business. You can easily do this by limiting access to your commercial premises. While you might think that a lock will do the trick, a better way is installing an access card system.
With this business security measure, it will be easier to grant access to your employees and revoke the same for former workers and other parties.
Secure Your Printer
Printers are the second-largest safety threats for any small business. Faulty or old printers contain hard drives that are used to store all scans. Most businesses use printers daily and leave all their private information on these hard disks, which can easily be hacked.
If you ever upgrade your business printer, ensure you format the hard drive of the old one or just remove it altogether. Do not leave behind a goldmine for hackers.
Educate Your Employees about Malware and Scams
Surprisingly, even with security systems for business, most breaches originate from within. This is usually unintentionally when employees open malicious links. These links then proceed to execute malware that emails private information to people claiming to be in one of the firm's departments.
Always make a point of teaching your employees about scams that pose threats to your business. Let them know that they should never click on suspicious-looking links, especially messages that keep popping up while they are browsing.
With these and other plans, you will be assured that your business is safe from attacks that could cost you a fortune.

Dale runs fplnetwork.com and is one of the most controversial but entertaining members of FPL twitter .
> Is now the time to do Abraham out with it seeming such an easy switch to inform Jimenez , or keep faith with the Chelsea striker ? ( was stretchered off as i was writing these questions )
|If Abraham is passed fit for GW 15 then the sensible move is to keep. Three very nice home games in the next 4 against West Ham, Aston Villa (his old club) and Bournemouth. However for those looking to take a risk and go against a player with 50%+ ownership then Jimenez is a safe bet. I'd put forward Danny Ings as well… Watford and Norwich at home in the next two.
If you have value tied up in Abraham then just keep and bench. He will only be out for a max of one GW. The injury is probably nothing more serious than a heavy bruise. Stronger players would grit their teeth and play through it but Tammy is extremely lightweight in many aspects in my personal opinion; minerals being one of them…
That said, Raul is an excellent option and in the form of his life.
|Depending on the Abraham injury news, it's probably worth keeping the Chelsea forward and pairing him with Jiménez & Vardy. If Tammy is injured then Rashford is a serious option (or Kane if you have the funds) Abraham only has one goal at home since GW4.
|I've just shipped Abraham, we have 3 gameweeks in the next week so he could potentially miss 2 games. Given his instagram post of I'll be back soon I'd expect he at least misses one game. I've moved him on for Jesus with Aguero out.
> As crazy as it sounds some people are advocating going cityless is this something you agree with?
|I think one City player is advisable for the next three GWs with Newcastle, Burnley and Arsenal on the fixture list. De Bruyne is Mr Consistent, returning in 8 of his 12 appearances this season. That shouldn't be taken for granted in a very unpredictable FPL season. Sterling owners have a tricky decision, I'd look to Mane for the next 4 GWs before perhaps moving back to the Englishman in the BGW. Defensively I wouldn't go near them. There are much cheaper options returning points like Lundstram and Soyuncu for example.
Who is advocating this? Because they need their heads read. City are going through a dip in their own very high standards for sure. But to dump ALL their assets? Madness. KDB is the best creative player in the Premier League bar none. Sterling will absolutely clear out his stuttering pistons and can easily retrieve the form that we know he is capable of. The only City assets I would recommend ditching are probably their defenders
|City's fixtures aren't great, 2 away games followed by Man United, Arsenal, Leicester & Wolves so I can understand the lack of love for the Champions. KDB is enough for me. Forget the defence they're a shambles and Ederson is far too expensive.
|Absolutely not
>Jose has won his first two games in charge so obviously spurs are now going to win the world cup , which spurs asset interests you the most?
|Early days yet but Jose looks like he's got his mojo back! Defensively I'd avoid for now. They've shipped 4 goals in 2 games and play Chelsea, Utd and Wolves in the next 5. Aurier is one to watch at £4.9 though for his attacking threat. The attack is where the points are, it looks a great opportunity to get one or two in and get ahead of the masses. Son is the obvious one, Alli & Moura both offer value. I've earmarked Kane from GW19 onwards, a reliable captain pick over Christmas.
Kane, Son, Alli, Moura. In that order. All are playing to impress the new gaffer and all will improve week on week until at least two of those reach must-own status. The trick will be in judging when the optimum time to jump on them is.Go too early and you could be rewarded with inconsistency. Go too late and you'll either be points chasing or prices out of the market.
|Spurs have a decent run of fixtures. Harry Kane is the standout pick but Son & Alli are viable options in midfield. I have a feeling Lucas Moura will be loved by Jose now that he's playing in his natural position on the right. One to keep an eye on is Danny Rose who should be nailed at left back after the Ben Davies injury news (ankle ligaments)
|Kane interests me most if he finally plays up front. But Alli could be the big winner if we get old school Dele back I'm all in on that
> In a very tricky looking game week to pick a captain who do you think should get the nod?
|Captaincy this week really is anyone's guess. My top two candidates would be Mane (BRI) and Vardy (EVE), normally I'd just favour the midfielder due to the extra points available for a goal and clean sheet but how can you ignore Vardy and the form he's in?! Kane & Son are differential options with big explosive potential. I haven't even mentioned Sterling or De Bruyne…
Mane and Vardy based on form alone. Kane or Son if you believe in the "Jose Effect". But for me, once again Sterling will be a strong contender despite his recent failures.
|Pretty sure I'll be captaining Vardy this week. Everton are a mess and it'd be great to pick up a captain hat-trick in the last game of the GW. Mané runs him a close 2nd.
|I'm going for Jesus, but a liverpool player vs Brighton could be just as good
> Zaha costs £6.6M and is only 7.7% owned. After some impressive performances capped with a goal against Liverpool , is he a differential we should be considering with palaces nice looking fixture run?
|Zaha is a very interesting differential, he's certainly got the fixtures to find his best form. Another plus point is his reliability of starts, in all likelihood he won't miss a game over Christmas. However only one goal all season shows his mind maybe on other things. Couple that with a trip to Burnley (3 clean sheets in last 4 home games) and I would probably say no, not this week. Lucas Moura at £7.0 is much more tempting.
|No. I'd favour Milivojevic on his 100th appearance grabbing a pen before I'd punt on the lacklustre Zaha who has cut a few million off his real life transfer value based on this seasons performances.
|Zaha – yes. Palace are shit but he's class. If his end product was better he'd be owned by 40%+
|He is someone to look at bringing in if he can find form. Classed as a midfielder now so extra points available for goals. He is firmly on the watch list I just have other issues currently
>At now only 23% ownership has Mohamed Salah entered essential differential status?
|Very hard to argue Salah over Mane right now and with good reason. The latter is in better form and isn't carrying an injury. The long term form book backs this up; Mane has 22 goals in 2019, Salah only 15. I wouldn't be making the swap but I'm not against doubling up. It doesn't get much better than Brighton, Watford, Everton & Bournemouth in the next 4 GWs no doubt they will both get in the points! One caveat is their GW18 blank… my advice would be to plan ahead to assess whether you can afford to bench them both
Not at that price. His glass ankle would worry me as an owner. He is nowhere near being the influence he has been in the last couple of seasons.
No doubt he will score 2 or 3 and make me look more of a dick than usual though.
|Salah is a tricky one. I've only recently swapped to Mané and I won't be going back. Mo looks injured to me but with decent fixtures ahead he could explode into life. Much better options right now IMO
|Yeah he is entering that phase he ownership in the top 10k is really low too. If he finds form a differential Salah could be a great weapon
> If you were free hitting this week which 3 names would be the first on your team sheet based on fixtures and form?
|If I was free hitting the first name on my team-sheet would be Jesus. We know that he will play and has a great record when he starts in the Premier League. Man City's starting striker at under 2% owned is surely to tempting to turn down? Marcus Rashford would be in my free hit team. He's been quietly going about his business in recent week returning 36 points in the last 5 GWs. Martial being back in the has team enhanced his appeal. No away clean sheet for Villa all season, goal are in the offing! Finally, I would be tempted to take a gamble on Reece James. The teenager seems to have forced his way into Lampard's best team and whilst it's not a given he'll start it would be a risk I'd take. His amazing crossing ability mean a first assist isn't far away and Chelsea have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 3 home games.
Kane, Jiménez and Alli.
The first two based on their explosive potential. Alli because he would be a mega-differential and I'm chasing from an overall rank of 1.5m…
|For a free hit i'd be choosing Aurier, Pulisic & Kane. I think Spurs will do a madness against Bournemouth and West Ham are shocking so expect the American to have a field day against the hammers.
|Jesus, Kane, Alli
>If you had a free transfer available this week which low ownership differential ( -5% ) would you look to bring in?
|A few candidates for this… Ings, Jesus and Moura came close. However at 3.2% ownership and with Sheffield United, West Ham, Brighton and Norwich in the next 5 GWs I'd go with FPL legend Matt Doherty. I think he can get back to his explosive best in the next few weeks!
|Again, Dele Alli. He looks to be a different beast as he tries to impress Jose. It's worked so far with two outstanding performances. At 1.5% TSB he'd be first on my team sheet of hunting a differential.
|Adama Traore is a great option for anyone looking for a differential. He looks to have finally found a position since Wolves switched to 3-4-3 not so long ago.
|Jesus, differential city striker against a shaky Newcastle team obviously not gonna blank..
> Sir John Lundstram has more points this season then many premium assets , should the 56% who don't own him be doing anything to recruit ,even with his now inflated £5m price tag?
|Definitely, he's still one of the best defensive options in the game. You only have to watch the first 20 minutes of the Man United game to see that – he could have had a brace! They are so well defensively organised, it's hard not to see clean sheets over their upcoming 'see of green' fixture run. It's one of the greatest FPL stories ever, jump on and be a part of it!
|As an OOP player regularly returning points he's worth another £1.5m on top of that £5m. Stubbornness is the only reason his ownership (in live teams) is not 100% Stupid.
|Lundstram is a set and forget for me. Even at £5m, a defender playing in midfield he's worth every penny and more.
|Yeah because he is playing out of position. You wont find better value for his price in defence or midfield
> With Aguero confirmed as out injured over the festive period is 1.8% owned jesus an attractive proposition?
|Yes. Jesus looks very attractive! As previously mentioned Man City's seemingly nailed on striker for only £9.5 and at mega differential ownership level is a tantalising prospect. If you haven't got Vardy I'd prioritise him with 3 home games in the next 4 however a forward line of them both promises goals in the next few GWs! One word of wanting… Pep can throw surprises at FPL managers. I wouldn't be surprised if he played Sterling up front at some point.
|Yeah I guess. But I think I'd want three consistent, proven points returners in my forward spots. Jesus is too flaky for my liking.
|Jesus would be a great option if there wasn't so many other forwards now coming into form. Vardy, Jiménez, Kane & Rashford are all better options at the minute. May be worth a gamble if you're behind in a mini league though.
|Jesus to be the christmas saviour

Spring bank holiday images and greetings for you.. There is nothing in this world than the feeling of a long haul of weekend bank holiday, and that is what the spring bank holiday is all about. Where are all my UK clans, this post is dedicated just for you. Happy holidays!
For those that are no really acquainted about what the Spring bank holiday is all about
What is Spring Bank Holiday?
Just like other holidays in every country in the world. The bank holiday is just another public holiday. In the UK, instead of calling an holiday, a public holiday, it is termed as the BANK HOLIDAY. This holiday allows the people of UK a day off work to relax and rest; away from the hustle and bustle of life.
Liberal MP John Lubbock first tabled the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 and he stated that the purpose of the holiday was to give workers some days off work to refuel and re-energize! Who doesn't like bank holidays then?
At the start of all bank holidays in the UK, the available bank holidays were the first Monday in August, Easter Monday, Whit Monday and Boxing years. As the years roll by more bank holidays were added, and now UK has a total number of 8 bank holidays which includes, the Christmas, May Day and New year's day.
In the month of May, there are usually two spring bank holidays, the first is on May 1 while the second is the May 29 bank holiday. Thinking of what to do on a bank holiday? Just sit back and relax in your house, or hang out with friends and family. You need to get the stress of work off you, even if it's for 24 hours or it spans a weekend.
During bank holidays however, economic activities are on a complete shutdown. Banks are not opened and this automatically paralyzes all economic activities. What will you be doing on this spring bank holiday?
Spring bank holiday Greetings

Potential Buyers Circle Yahoo
Silver Lake, Microsoft, Alibaba Group all considering bid
In the wake of Yahoo's Carol Bartz fiasco, the fallen Internet giant has attracted the interest of a number of potential buyers, and its board has begun preparing for a sale, according to the New York Times.
One potential buyer is the private equity firm Silver Lake, which has already approached Yahoo about a possible bid, sources said. Silver Lake is working with Andreessen Horowitz and has been "quietly studying" a bid for the past six months, those sources said.
Other possible bidders named were Alibaba Group, Microsoft (whose 2008 bid for Yahoo was rejected), Providence Partners, and former News Corp. COO Peter Chernin, who also approached Yahoo earlier this year but was rebuffed.
Yahoo's board, which hired investment bank Allen & Company to advise it on a sale, discussed Silver Lake's interest during a meeting on Wednesday. The board also discussed what to do with Yahoo's lucrative Asian assets (worth more than the rest of the company's operations combined) including its 40 percent stake in the Alibaba Group and 35 percent stake in Yahoo Japan. But the board still hasn't decided whether to keep those assets, sell them, or spin them off.
UBS, which has already been advising Yahoo on its options for its stake in Alibaba, is also working with the company on its sale, and according to sources, Yahoo is considering hiring a third bank to help provide financing.

"His dexterity in building this case (the inevitability of government) set the right tone for this collection of essays."
In reviewing the book, "Are We The Turning Point Generation?", published by Farafina Kamsi, I was struck by an inherent conflict of ideals and realism in the mind of a first rate intellectual. My perception of his private battles with the soul and the eventual resolutions to embrace daily pragmatism has left me in awe of Chude Jideonwo.
From the very first compelling article which advanced the clear truth – one I have long concluded on – that we cannot "save" our country outside of an engagement of the government machinery, rare is the gifting of Chude that he puts in written words the thoughts and resolutions you have but have not framed the words to express.
His dexterity in building this case (the inevitability of government) set the right tone for this collection of essays. Through this book, Chude challenges young Nigerians to pick a spot and start digging. For him, standing by idling away, sitting at the corner in the naysayers' seat is one to be scorned. It is inevitable that Chude lets on quite quickly he is not a friend to arm chair theorists or patriots.
Neither does Chude embrace the unproven, untested and unprepared "youth" who rush in to salvage a nation they are painfully unschooled to govern. Through his thoughts, we perceive a man committed to an association with only the best and brightest.
This I believe sets Chude apart for he lives what he says and writes. His commitment to excellence in personal development and the execution of his business interests cannot be faulted. Many have questioned his "authority" to speak on behalf of youth – through his platform The Future Project, YNaija, the articles that make up this book… to those I aver that Chude has proven to be an Atlas who refuses to shrug.
Atlas was the mythical figure in Greek folklore condemned to carry the world on his back. Ayn Rand spun this tale to represent captains of industry for whom the world depended on their intellect, grit and emotional stamina to create the conditions for our common prosperity. If the Atlases decide to "shrug" and drop the world from their backs, we will all pay.
Chude is one of those who have bent their backs to do the heavy lifting needed to create open spaces for Nigerian youth. As I read the last essay in the book, "Five Stories" that chronicles times when the rush of good overcoming evil flowed in his veins, all I could do was silently pray and wish him well… more of the same, my brother. I wish you many more of the same.

As your loved one gets older, it can get more difficult to detect changes that may occur physically or mentally, especially when you are not a healthcare professional or if your older loved one is hesitant to tell you that they need help.
Here at Bell & Associates Consulting Firm, we understand that caring for a loved one can be a huge task and it helps to have as much support as possible. In this post, we will cover five warning signs that will help you determine whether or not your elderly relative or friend needs additional help.
1.Mishandled Finances
If you begin to notice that your loved one hasn't been paying their bills, randomly starts losing or misplacing their money, attempts to pay bills more than once in a month, or even tries to hide money, it is time that your loved one may need additional assistance.
2. Changed Eating Habits
Perhaps your older friend or relative suddenly starts to lose weight? What if your older loved one, who used to love to eat and loved food, suddenly has no appetite? Perhaps they begin to start missing meals and/or forgets to eat throughout the day?
3. Inappropriate/Unusual Behavior
Another sign that your older loved one may need help is that they start to behave in a way that is unlike themselves. You begin to notice that they are uncharacteristically loud or quiet, irritated, paranoid, or upset.
4. Loss Of Interest In Hobbies
If you notice that your loved one has stopped participating in activities that used to give them joy. Whether that was going to church, meeting with their friends, or participating in hobbies that they used to love, if you notice a sudden decrease or just a complete stop in those activities, it may be time for additional help.
5. Forgetfulness
Forgetfulness can be a natural sign of getting older, but if your loved one begins forgetting parts of their everyday routine, that can be a sign that it is time to get extra help. Forgetting to open and read over mail or important documents, missing appointments, forgetting to get their prescriptions refilled, and more are definite warning signs that your elderly loved one needs help.
Keep in mind that the signs listed above do not always mean that your loved one needs immediate help. Be sure to keep in contact with your loved one's doctor so they can be aware of the changes and assist you in determining your options for finding care.
For additional information on healthcare plans for your older loved one, please contact Bell & Associates Consulting Firm at www.bellinsuranceconsultants.com or give us a call at (662) 260-4635.

Keith Brown, Veterans Minister and MSP meets military veterans making positive changes
Keith Brown, Veterans Minister met with participants from our Positive Futures programme at our National Participant Centre in Stirling, to hear their stories, and talk about how the scheme has changed things for them.
The event provided a chance for the veterans to discuss their experiences on the programme, and the impact it has had on their lives. It was also an opportunity for them to speak to Mr Brown about what is being done to support the small but significant number of veterans struggling with the transition to civilian life.
Positive Futures, funded by Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT), does just that: supports veterans struggling with the transition to civilian life. The programme includes an intensive 5-day wilderness journey in the Highlands where outdoor activity and experiential learning techniques are used as a mechanism for unlocking and redeploying skills, building confidence and raising aspiration. Following this journey, the participants, of all ages and length of service, are given support to achieve their goals. For many this will result in utilising the skills learnt in service, and applying these skills to prepare them for employment, education, training or volunteering.
These veterans are on their way to reaching positive destinations, working towards managing what can be very challenging life circumstances as a result of leaving the military behind. Their struggle to adapt to civilian life can often lead to homelessness, isolation, addiction, abuse, breakdown of family relations, and long term unemployment.
Amelia commented: "We were delighted that Mr Brown visited us at our National Participant Centre, which sent a really positive message of support to our participants – for those past, and those about to head out on the next Positive Futures journey. For all of those leaving the military, it marks a complete change. Most of those thrive, going on to have successful careers and balanced lives. But for a small minority the transition to civilian life can be overwhelming and confusing which can lead to a multitude of negative circumstances. The Positive Futures programme offers veterans the support and space to begin to see themselves differently – that they can have a different life. Many will go on to further education, training, volunteering or employment, and this is a key catalyst for positive life changes."
Mr Brown, Veterans Minister said: "I am delighted to see a truly innovative project like the Venture Trust Positive Futures Programme underway in Scotland, delivering valuable support for veterans.
Our veterans are an asset to Scotland and deserve the best possible support and care we can provide. The Positive Futures Programme is a great route for veterans who have struggled with transition, and it was a pleasure to meet some of the participants who have found it very beneficial."

Pic source: OSEN
Nam Woohyun, a member of Infinite, has enlisted in the army today on October 24.
According to an OSEN report on October 24, Nam Woohyun will be admitted to Nonsan Training Center in South Chungcheong Province later in the day. Nam Woohyun will receive basic military training there before serving alternative service as a social service worker. Woohyun previously suffered a shoulder injury while filming a show in 2014, making it difficult for him to serve in active duty.
With this, Woohyun will be subject to national defense obligations following Sungkyu, Jang Dongwoo, Lee Sungyeol and Sungjong, who joined the military in May last year. As all INFINITE members joined the military, they will now have a break from their team activities until Nam Woohyun's convening ceremony.
The news of Nam Woohyun's enlistment was also reported through stories of his fans. Along with the sightings, fans are cheering for Nam Woohyun, who has a brief hiatus due to his enlistment.
Woohyun said hello to fans in advance through a solo fan meeting ahead of his enlistment. Woohyun reportedly delivered a greeting to fans at a fan meeting held at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, on the 19th. Fans silently cheered as Woohyun said he wanted to join the army quietly.
Woohyun made his debut as an INFINITE member in 2010 and has been active, gaining popularity not only at home but also among overseas fans, and challenging a variety of music as a solo artist. He wrote, composed, and produced his own songs, and received positive responses with his own colors.
In addition to his musical career, he expanded his career to become a musical actor by taking the stage with musicals "Banum: Great Showman," "The Days," and "Mefisto."

Chromebook 101
Get to know the Lenovo 300e
Chromebooks come with many advantages. The device starts up in 8 seconds and automatically mounts to Google Drive. For example, when students log in to their Chromebook they will automatically be synced with their Newton Google Drive account, able to access their documents within seconds. Nothing is saved locally on a Chromebook - it is all saved on Google's servers in the cloud. If a students device is stolen or lost, he or she can still access their schoolwork from another device.
The Lenovo 300e has even more unique features. It is a 360 laptop, turning from a standard laptop to a tablet. It also has touchscreen capabilities. The screen is manufactured to handle a graphite pencil so students can write directly on the screen to take notes, create diagrams, or annotate documents.
We hope you appreciate that teachers will be able to plan lessons with more confidence knowing each student will have an identical computer.

ATLANTA — In a game that looked like something from a made-for-TV movie script, the Alabama Crimson Tide rode the coat tails of one-time-starter-turned-backup quarterback Jalen Hurts to a come-from-behind, 35-28 win over Georgia, claiming their fourth SEC title in the last five years.
Although he only played one quarter of action, coming in after season-long starter, Tua Tagovailoa went down early in the fourth with what looked like a high ankle sprain, Hurts' time in the game was most valuable, as he completed 7-of-9 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns, one in the air and one on the ground.
Hurts' 10-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy tied the game at 28 with 5:19 left in the fourth quarter.
And after Alabama's defense had a series of stops -- including one on a Georgia fake punt attempt -- Hurts would apply the dagger to the Dawgs' conference title dreams and revenge aspirations with a 15-yard scoring scamper to provide the final margin with just 1:04 remaining.
It was a crushing blow to a Georgia team that, just like in last year's national championship game, built a two-score lead against the Tide, only to see it melt away in the fourth quarter.
"A lot of credit goes to Alabama," Georgia head coach, Kirby Smart said. "They outperformed us in the second half. The game had a lot of momentum swings in it, up and down, up and down, back and forth, which we knew it would."
But after the Crimson Tide kudos, Smart then made his not-so-subtle case for his team to be included in the College Football Playoff with Selection Sunday less than 24 hours away.
"We told our kids that for a week they would hear nothing but how good Alabama was, and that's what they heard," Smart said. "Everybody said they were unbeatable, and everybody talked about it. We knew what we had, and we knew we've got a good football team. We've got a really physical football team. We've got a talented football team. And we most definitely have one of the best four teams in the country.
"The system is what it is. What happens, happens. These kids out here today, they battled tooth and nail with what is one of the best teams in the country. We did enough to win the game, and we didn't finish it."
The defenses came out swinging in what became a see-saw battle with Alabama forced Georgia to a 3-and-out on its first offensive possession of the game.
A long punt return by Jaylen Waddle put the Crimson Tide in business at the Dawgs' 30 yard-line. And after a big pass play and run made it 1st and goal, Georgia's D'Andre Walker came up with a sack of Tagovailoa for a loss of 11.
Then, on third and long, Tagovailoa forced a pass to the end zone that was picked off by Richard LeCounte.
The Dawgs' next drive would stall, but not after a couple of near-misses on balls that could've been touchdown passes — namely a perfect pass thrown over MeCole Hardman's shoulder. Hardeman had it, bobbled it, had it again before dropping it out of the back of the end zone.
Georgia's offense would make up for it though, after the defense forced a Bama 3-and-out.
Fromm would hook up with Holloman over the middle for a pickup of 18 yards. And then three plays later, he connected with tight end, Isaac Nauta for a 20-yard score that gave Georgia a 7-0 lead at the 3:08 mark of the first quarter.
That touchdown marked just the ninth time a team has found the end zone against Alabama's defense in the first two quarters of a game.
Alabama would answer back, though, with a penalty-aided drive, as Walker appeared to have come up with another sack, but a hands to the face penalty pushed the Tide into the red zone.
A big run by Najee Harris and then another lengthy gallup to the Dawgs' 1-yard line by Josh Jacobs as the first quarter expired set up Jacobs for a 1-yard touchdown plunge to open the second.
Georgia responded with an impressive, methodical drive that took 7:19 off the clock and featured a surgical short passing game by Fromm. The drive climaxed with a 9-yard touchdown run by D'Andre Swift, who juked a would-be Bama tackler on his way to the end zone. The score put the Bulldogs back on top, 14-7 with 7:31 left in the half.
Bama went three-and-out on its next drive, and Fromm and company went right back to work, this time finding running room on the inside and off tackle against the Tide's defense.
The scoring drive turned into the D'Andre Swift show, as the tailback burst for gains of 20 and 13 yards, carrying him over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. Fromm then called his number in the passing game, tossing him an 11-yard touchdown reception that put Georgia up 21-7 with 4:05 left in the first half.
The game's back-and-forth nature continued on a quirky play that allowed Alabama to pull back to within a touchdown.
On first and goal from the UGA 1-yard line, Jacobs plowed into the end zone and fumbled the ball before crossing the goal line. Georgia recovered in the end zone, and the officials ruled it a touchdown.
But instant replays showed that after the initial fumble, Jacobs actually recovered his own fumble and kept possession long enough to score a touchdown at the 2:20 mark of the second quarter before a Georgia defender knocked it out of his hands again. The touchdown pulled Bama to within a touchdown and tilted some momentum back toward the Alabama sideline as the teams went to the locker rooms for halftime.
That momentum quickly shifted back Georgia's way early in the third quarter.
The Dawgs' defense answered the call again, as it had all night, forcing Alabama to a 3-and-out on its first possession of the second half. Freshman Channing Tindall had a clutch quarterback pressure that forced Tagovailoa into an intentional grounding penalty, forcing the Crimson Tide punt team to take the field.
Georgia promptly took advantage as Fromm found Riley Ridley in the corner of the end zone for a 23- yard scoring strike that extended the Bulldogs' lead to 28-14 with 1:14 left in the third quarter.
Those would be the last points Georgia would score in the game.
Rodrigo Blankenship had a chance to put the Bulldogs up three scores with a 30-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, but he hooked it just left, making it only his third miss from under 40 yards in his Georgia career.
Two possessions later, Bama would play its way back into things when Tagovailoa hooked up with Jaylen Waddle on a short pass, and Waddle's speed took it the rest of the way for a 51-yard score, pulling the Georgia lead back to a touchdown with 3:02 left in the third quarter.
Alabama faced adversity after Tagovailoa went down with the ankle injury that came after one of his own offensive linemen rolled it as Tagovailoa dropped back to throw. But Hurts, who'd spent much of the 2018 season injured himself, came in when his team needed him most, doing it in the same stadium where he'd lost his starting job to the upstart Tagovailoa 11 months ago.
"I'm very proud of Jalen, who got an opportunity at the end of the game," Alabama coach, Nick Saban said. "I told him, this is your time, and he certainly took advantage of it."
Meanwhile, Smart was left to answer questions about some of the play-calling decisions made down the stretch, including the failed fake punt in the fourth quarter with the score still tied that ended up giving Hurts a short field to work his game-winning magic.
"Yeah, we had been carrying that (since) last year," Smart said. "Thought it was there, and it was there today. We were going to snap the ball quick. We took too long to snap the ball. They didn't have a guy covered. We had a guy wide open. We took so long to snap it, that they recognized it and got the guy covered late."
Smart didn't back off the decision, calling it a part of his team's plan to put the game away in regulation.
"We came to win the game," he said. "We wanted to win the game. I talked to the guys before the game about it. If we get an opportunity to run it, we'll run it."
Georgia's loss dropped its record to 11-2 for the season, and it also marked the Bulldogs' fifth straight loss to the Crimson Tide. The last time Georgia beat Alabama was a 26-23 overtime win back on September 22, 2007 in Tuscaloosa.
And while Saban will not have to lose sleep about whether or not his bunch will be among the four selected for the college football playoff, he also wasn't shy about sharing how deserving he felt Georgia is of being included.
"Well, I've commented on that before, but yes, I think based on what I've seen, they're one of the four best teams in the country," he said. "And I also said I don't want to play them again, which is the ultimate compliment, I think, that I can give them. If you lose by seven points to the No. 1 team, you shouldn't slip too far."

With blood splatter everywhere, with open wounds all over the body, a despicable murder has taken place on the Jesuit campus. But who could commit such an atrocious crime? That is what the students enrolled in Mrs. Boyle's forensics science course are trying to find out this December. By combining their knowledge of fingerprinting, decomposition, DNA analysis, and other methods, the students of the forensics class will attempt to find out who the perpetrator of this crime is using all the evidence they can find.
In order to prepare to solve this complex case, Mrs. Boyle said that the class "spend[s] the semester going over major topics in the course to help build [the students'] knowledge of how they would process evidence. We cover topics like decomposition, bloodstain pattern analysis, DNA analysis, fingerprinting, etc."
Throughout the year, certain groups of students were assigned specific fields of forensics, and these groups presented to each other. Marcelo Pier '18 remarked that "to prepare for the final, the class divide[d] into groups and throughout the semester they [gave] a presentation about their respective discipline such as blood spatter analysis, ballistics, toxicology, etc. This helps the whole class learn the disciplines that need to be used for the final." Because there is so much to learn in a short period of time, each group specialized in a specific topic, then shared their knowledge with the whole class.
John Jackson '18 said that it was important to "pay attention and understand the past units we went over because the final is applying all of those through a crime scene." Since the final is a project, students cannot really study, but they need to apply what they learned in a real crime scene.
As for their feelings for it, the students have mixed reactions. Jackson is "pretty nervous about the final because it has proven difficult to figure out who committed the murder. You gather evidence and gain leads, then it seems like it goes nowhere. So, at the moment, I don't know if we will solve the case."
However, Pier feels "confident that [his] group will solve the crime." He said that the members in his group "are all aware of the different aspects needed to solve a crime, especially a murder, which is what occurred."
Mrs. Boyle commented that "the students always seem to get into and enjoy [the project]." When the crime was announced to the class, there were a couple of days where the boys were not really confident and then once they realized that it was challenging to figure out, "they [got] a little frustrated." Overall, she tries to tell them that she doesn't "grade them on if they solve the crime, but [if] they have collected a sufficient amount of evidence to help develop their story leading up to the crime that was committed."
Even though the final project may be tough to solve, the students really enjoy the class. Pier finally stated that his "favorite part of the class was definitely the final itself." He liked how it used all of the disciplines of forensics to solve a crime that happened at Jesuit. Similarly, Jackson also remarked that his "favorite part of the class [was] the final because we [were] using all the fields of forensics we [had] learned in order to solve a crime scene."
So, who committed this diabolic crime? Only time will tell.

Friday Fri
Saturday Sat
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 3 days on 8 August 2059 at 07:37.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1893".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2059 after 11 days on 23 August 2059 at 09:42.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 3 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 737 of Meeus index or 1690 from Brown series.
Length of current 737 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 23 minutes. It is 1 hour and 26 minutes shorter than next lunation 738 length.
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 39 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 24 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠149.3°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠173.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon is reaching point of apogee on this date at 09:12, this is 15 days after last perigee on 26 July 2059 at 20:05 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is starting to get closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth for 12 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next perigee on 24 August 2059 at 02:14 in ♓ Pisces.
This apogee Moon is 406 129 km (252 357 mi) away from Earth. It is 721 km farther than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 580 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
9 days after its ascending node on 1 August 2059 at 19:16 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 16 August 2059 at 07:59 in ♏ Scorpio.
9 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
6 days after previous North standstill on 5 August 2059 at 06:00 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠26.681°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-26.789° in the next southern standstill on 19 August 2059 at 20:09 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 11 days on 23 August 2059 at 09:42 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

Academic journal article ABA Banking Journal
Automated "Messaging" System for Customer Service
Article excerpt
In a perfect world, bank personnel could phone each customer whenever something happened that required bank or client attention, according to the folks at Diffusion, Inc. But real-world time constraints mean that other methods are needed to bridge the gap between a constant flow of business activity and tight, workplace schedules. Communicating with all of your customers in an appropriate and timely way has just gotten easier, says Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Richard Schwartz.
Using Web, e-mail, pager, telephone, or file transfer delivery channels to link the bank to its customers, the software company builds "event notification" messaging systems to send clients proactive messages for use in applications such as treasury management or general customer service.
A system setup for Nationsbank (now Bank America), for example, allows real-time notification of corporate customer payments through its intranet. Self-service automated solutions in place today require the client to initiate the communication, so often aren't the best service options.
"Despite the self-service opportunities created by the Web, customers want more service--not less," Schwartz says. "Customers want you to know what they need, what they're working on, what they're waiting for, and what they're interested in." Although automated electronic communication can be supplemented with phone conversations, and users get to choose how they'd like to be notified, the general idea is that e-mail, or other electronic communication chosen by the customer will suffice for most routine communications. …

7:30 PM: Family Plots
Remind me never to die in San Diego. I just finished watching a preview tape of tonight's Family Plots episode. It's a new show on A&E about three sisters and a dad who work at the Poway-Bernardo Mortuary. And, yeah. It taught me a little more than I need to know about the realities of working at a funeral home. I mean, I don't want to know that embalmers occasionally have to do a rush job on people. Nor do I want to know that they use wax on dearly departed faces, "forget" folks' funerals or have to tape some body parts to keep them from oozing. Yuck.
8 PM: Bernie Mac
I'd like to be watching my man Bernie. Right. Now. But I can't because the thousandth American Idol special is on. Like Bernie, I say, "America, can't a woman get some peace and quiet to watch her show?" Tonight, apparently not.
8:18 PM: American Idol Uncut, Uncensored and Untalented
That Paula Fuga girl really does have a sweet voice. And her song is pretty good. It's a shame Simon and co. couldn't get past her hard-to-market image to move her on to the next level of competition back when she auditioned in Hawaii. I mean, they let that Jon Peter Lewis go on and he couldn't sing. For goodness sake, they should have given a big ukulele-playing girl a chance.
8:45 PM: "I'm struggling with, pretty much, most of the things I do in my life," William Hung says. And what's worse than identifying with Mr. You-Know-Something's-Wrong-With-That-Boy's true words? Watching four professional dancers gyrate around him as he sings. Or, even worse, watching him sing a ballad! Somebody please make it stop.
8:58 PM: The Phone Rings
It's a friend from work.
Friend: I know you're about to watch The Swan...
Me: Actually, I'm going to tape it.
Friend: But did you just see William Hung? Girl, he had backup dancers.
Me: I know.
Friend: Back. Up. Dancers!
9 PM: Las Vegas
Let's see. Everybody Loves Raymond vs. Las Vegas... Ray Romano in Queens vs. Josh Duhamel in Sin City. I know. I know. Raymond's technically a much better show. But hey, look! there's Christian Kane, aka the evil lawyer guy from Angel. They sacrificed Gunn to get him out of a weird sort of hell last Wednesday. So I kinda gotta watch this. I mean, Kane's moonlighting already. Angel's not even off the air yet. Talk about disloyal.
About 9:18 PM: So, Nessa says, "We're sleeping together and all I know is you're Bob the Floater." Nessa, girl, you need to slow your roll. I mean, you'd think a casino-security expert would have enough common sense to at least get a man's last name before she hops into the bed with him. Come on, now.
9:28 PM: OK. I am officially an RVW: Repentant Vegas Watcher. After hearing screams, Big Ed just busted into Nessa's room to "save" her from the crazy floater guy (Kane). And, of course, the screams where coming from a horror film on TV. I saw that one coming a mile away. This is getting thinner by the minute. I should have watched Raymond.
9:30PM: Two and a Half Men
Their new intro is cute! And a little creepy. I really don't need to see Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer's heads this big.
9:40 PM: But I do love me some Ducky. Even though he's starting to look his age. OK, girl, focus.
9:45 PM: So 11-year-old Jake's depressed. He sits in his room playing those same three chords (what is that song?!) all day. Doesn't eat. And generally doesn't seem to care about anything nor does he want to be bothered with anyone. Poor kid. On top of that, all the adults in his life including that $175-an-hour child-psychologist quack keep dumping their issues on him during their fruitless attempts to find out "what's wrong."
9:58 PM And, of course the boy was just constipated. Of course. Nobody ever listens to the maid.
11 PM: The Swan (on tape)
Yea, Tawnya, for standing up to the doc squad! From the way things looked in the first two episodes, I thought that by signing on to this show the participants basically gave their surgeons carte blanche to do what they want with them. But this woman who has had it rough lately proved me wrong. Not only did she say no to an extensive nose job, she nixed the face-lift. And the doctor was pissed. But, you know what, she was right. She still looked good without it! Of course they couldn't choose her for the "beauty pageant," though. But so what. She got a free nose job and extensive liposuction out of the deal. After that, who gives a crap about some stupid pageant?
Boo, Dr. Randall Hayworth. That man's so full of himself, it's not even funny. The way he talked about the "grueling," "very rarely performed" and "difficult" work he was going to do on Cindy's "witch nose," you'd think he was going to pull off a miracle. When, in the end, all he did was take it down a notch. A little notch at that. I think the huge implants they stuck in her cheeks actually did more to lessen the witchy-ness of the nose than his reshaping. But what do I know? I have a cute little nose that needs no retouching.

The model for the construction of cottage villages in Ukraine was Russia. But Ukraine, the number of both built and declared the construction of cottage townships to its northern neighbor is still far.
Related article: Which cottage villages are most in demand?Project in Ukraine, claiming the title of "cottage community" is in all regions. But in the main building organized cottage villages near Kiev. Until recently, the cottage small towns we called and how to built (or constructed) complexes with a unified development plan, laid out a territory, a centralized engineering and social infrastructure, and spontaneously united builders, which enclose the common fence, have brought to their sites gas, electricity, etc.
Today, Ukraine is already possible to distinguish four main categories of organized settlements:
Cottage villages category 1: Old and new homes with homestead lands in the district of cities, towns and villages (4-12 hectare, village communications and roads)
Cottage villages 2-nd category: chalet villages 60-90 years of building (5-10 hectare, gardening companies Soviet-style, dirt roads, unsuited engineering infrastructure)
Cottage villages third category: the new detached modern cottages motley architecture built since the mid 90's to the present, sometimes combined in a natural cottage settlements initiated by the owners, in order to organize the general engineering services and protection of the territory (4-30 cottages 10-20 hectare, connect to networks, modern engineering infrastructure, asphalt roads).
Cottage villages 4 th category: cottage villages organized by a single developer with a single infrastructure, a good level of utilities and social infrastructure (40-200 cottages, 2-way asphalted internal roads with sidewalks and lawns, landscaped public areas, private utilities, protection, cafes, markets, etc.).
Current projects include construction of cottage villages in one area specifically designed several versions of standard designs of cottages, aged in a single architectural style. Typically, it houses an area of about 250-500m2, with garage. Some believe that the draft model cottage - a "minus", so want to stand out! But for the sake of comfortable living in a civilized guarded cottage town with all the benefits of civilization can be and it makes sense to sacrifice the individual project and ready to buy a house, designed in a single architectural style cottage. Indeed, among the important "pluses" stay in the cottage - close to the social status of neighbors. Required infrastructure elements cottage townships: phones, internet, gas, electricity, water, waste (or removal) of waste. There may be a shop, kindergarten, GEC, swimming pool, gym, tennis court - if the amount can be invested in construction funds. And another factor, which draw attention to buyers - the presence near the town forest or water body Sometimes, home buyers in the cottage - typical citizens, and only in general idea of what a private home. There are many cases when a potential buyer cottage just does not understand the difference between flat and house, and the figure of 350-700m2 it's scary. These people live in the flat area of 100-120 m2 and want to house the same area. To developers of cottage townships often have to explain that in addition to the standard set of a city apartment - kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms - Cottage implies the existence of other facilities, such as laundry room and boiler room equipment, garage, sauna and / or gyms. And even if the area of living rooms in the cottage, bathrooms and kitchens will be willing buyers 120m2, then through an additional, but necessary for comfortable living space, the total area may significantly grow. The area of a private home includes a connecting element of its floors - a staircase, which is also and important part of interior. But it is often "forget to count" the future home owners.
Specialists forecast that over the next few years the demand for cottages in the cottage of Ukraine will grow - too many "pluses" in organized cottage townships. In the near future middle and secured classes will actively inhabit the suburbs into position in their own cottages in organized towns, as happened in Europe and the United States half a century ago. Is and another way of - land development, the more distant (in a radius 100 kilometers) from the town and the creation of new suburban housing types - Rancho ...
The development of cottage villages in the West had a completely different economic model than now in Ukraine.Thanks to this cheap homes of people living in the suburbs increased by 85 million people, while in metropolitan areas - 10 million

Tricia Hay started First Base Employment over 20 years ago with a vision to be providing honest ethical recruitment from a trusted supplier. First Base have a flexible approach to finding solutions with fully engaged candidates that have been interviewed face to face.
First Base outsource their payroll and linked sales invoicing, which then feeds into their accounting requirements. Following the sale of their accountants, they reviewed their requirements and approached us to help with their compliance needs and work with them on their longer term strategy.
As part of this review the accounting function was discussed in detail as the information was collated from a variety of sources, supplied to the accountants who used a desktop accounting package and then provided monthly reports. This was not the most efficient method and did not lead to timely information being available from which to make decisions. With the changing regulatory landscape this would not be compliant for Making Tax Digital purposes.
We are proud to be Xero gold partners and all agreed that it would best suit their requirements. For the transfer to Xero cloud accounting, the backup from Sage 50 was converted and transferred across to provide a couple of years of history. Then training sessions were provided to allow the team to do some data entry, alongside the direct feed from their bank account to enable Xero to pull in the transactions. Our team provide some of the outsourced functionality, making sure postings are correct, as well as extracting the sales invoices and payroll from their outsourced suppliers to import into Xero. This now means that statements can be issued to customers direct from Xero and they can keep a better eye on the company's debtors and ultimately cash flow.
As the First Base team have become more comfortable with using Xero, additional training has been provided and ReceiptBank has been introduced as a data capture tool which saves them a lot of time. We will continue to support Tricia and team to ensure they are getting the most out of Xero.

Designer Surya Sarkar tapped into the illusions of one's mind with his latest collection 'Heaven's Garden' at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015.
Surya believes that heaven in reality is the imagination of an extreme illusion and made up differently for different people. His interpretation of heaven includes tons of white and flowing garments symbolizing a pureness that is unreal. Graceful and poised, the collection was a symbol of hope and acceptance and gave an angel-like quality to the entire line. The garments had a timeless silhouette that flattered women and their bodies.
Colors included neutral tensions like ivory-white, offset with bold patterns that helped to ornate the look of the new collection. Giving the garments a finishing touch, were natural beauty elements like flowers, leaves, birds and lions which gave a 3D outlook on the whole.
A white artistically structured play-suit with 3D motifs was a sight to behold on the platform along with a Chinese collared sleeveless fishtailed gown with an exceptionally long trail that swept the audience of their feet.
'Heaven's Garden' was a state-of-the-art collection by Surya Sarkar which was one to look out for.

2.1 Introduction
This chapter reviews related literature on the subject and also explores the theoretical Framework guiding the research; which is the systems theory founded by the German biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1950) and the stakeholder approach to internal Communication by Welch and Jackson (2007).
2.2 Conceptual Framework
According to Reinchel and Ramney (2007), a conceptual framework is a set of broad ideas and principals taken from relevant fields of enquiry and used to structure a subsequent presentation. Additionally, Guba and Lincoln (2009) posit conceptual framework as a research tool intended to assist a researcher to develop awareness and understanding of the situation under scrutiny and to communicate this. Thus for this study to effectively assess the impact of communication in the management of organizations in Nigeria, the following concept are discussed for clear understanding; .
2.2.1 The Role of Communication in Organization
Communications of clearly stated goals are the paths to achievement in any organization and the best way to begin developing employee talent (Nelson, 2007). The flow of information in an organization can be a powerful tool in motivating its workforce and retaining excising and new customers. It can therefore be seen that open communication also gives a measure of control over the work environment and allows for the improvement of each individual working situation.

Guava in Coconut Cream is a delicious snack or dessert you'll love year-round. Creamy and refreshing with fruit and sago pearls, it's sure to be a family favorite!
I went a little coco with coconut milk last month; at least five of the recipes I posted are made with the precious, creamy liquid. The Asian supermarket I go to in Austin had a 50% sale of the canned milk, so I thought it was an excellent time to re-shoot and update my ginatan halo-halo, mais, munggo, and kamote kahoy on the blog.
I hope you like these rich concoctions because I have another one for you, ginataang guava with sago pearls!
One of our readers shared the recipe to me via email and I was intrigued to try it. Guavas with coconut milk sounded like a weird combination but it actually turned out to be a delicious medley of flavors.
The tartness of the fruit provides a refreshing balance to the sweetened coconut sauce and the addition of mini sago makes it as fun to eat as it is tasty. It's a great tropical dessert or snack to enjoy especially in cooler months when guavas are at the best and you need something warm and comforting.
What you Need for Ginataang Bayabas
This delicious dessert is so easy to make, it comes together with five simple ingredients and in less than 30 minutes!
- Coconut milk
- Guavas-peeled, seeded, and sliced into bite-size pieces
- Sugar-you can adjust the amount according to taste
- Salt-to help balance the sweetness
- Coconut cream-ladle the ginatan into individual serving bowls and drizzle with kakang gata (first extraction) to boost the creaminess
Tips on How to Make Guava in Coconut Cream
- I use Mexican cream guavas ( see photo above) which are small, roundish fruits and have pale yellow skin, creamy white flesh, and soft, edible seeds. Some varieties of the fruit have harder seeds and thicker flesh so you might have to scrape off as much of the pits as possible and adjust the cooking time.
- Cook the mini sago in a pot of boiling water about 1 to 2 minutes less than package directions as they will continue to cook in the coconut milk. Rinse in cold water to rid of excess starch and drain well.
- The coconut sauce will be thin at the beginning but the addition of sago pearls will help thicken it.
- For a smooth and creamy consistency, do not bring the coconut milk to a boil lest it curdles or separates.

ROME — "Culture is important for the country. There is no growth without culture nor any development," said Gildo Zegna, chief executive officer of the Ermenegildo Zegna Group, following the unveiling of a work commissioned from artists Lucy and Jorge Orta, "Fabulae Romanae," and presented on Wednesday at the Maxxi, Rome's National Museum of the 21st-Century Arts.
This story first appeared in the March 23, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"The public opinion is taking more interest in culture. Customers want to know more, it's more than just about fashion," Zegna added.
The project, part of the new ZegnArt venture revealed earlier this month, is entirely in line with the identity of the group. "This is not a marketing tool, it's about customer experience and delight, and beyond selling a product," explained Zegna in an interview at the brand's boutique on Via Condotti here.
Zegna silk ties and fabrics are juxtaposed with military blankets and flea-market shirts in a site-specific art installation, inspired by Rome's history and contemporary life, and hinging on themes dear to the Ortas, such as sustainability, extreme living conditions and preservation of the land — similarly to the Zegnas and their investment in Italy's Oasi Zegna, for example.
"I enjoy working with textiles, the association of fabrics and colors, and different textures," said Lucy Orta, who until 12 years ago worked in fashion.
"I feel that the Medicis are back. Luckily we have people that through culture know they can see the world in a different way," declared Orta.
Zegna declined to provide financial details about the investment in ZegnArt, which includes three divisions: Special Projects, such as the collaboration with Maxxi; Public, which combines the commission of a public work with an international institution in a selected emerging country and a residency to a local artist invited to study in Italy, and Art in Global Stores. The executive underscored ZegnArt is a medium- to long-term project with an international perspective, noting that for this reason it's not only a financial investment, which he defined as "relevant," but also one in terms of time and human resources.
"Both are very valuable. This is a serious project that needs backup support and dedicated activities. We are sure to invest more in time," he said.
For the Maxxi presentation, the company organized a 900-guest event the same evening, following a dinner for 100, including members of the press, the previous night.
Zegna conceded there will eventually be some kind of return as the firm will expand ZegnArt internationally. For example, the first country chosen for the Public division is India, with the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai as a partner, which will be followed by Turkey and Brazil, all markets with growth potential for the group.
Asked about business in India, Zegna characterized it as "slower than expected and not too easy. It will take a few decades." The group has six stores in the country and will open a new unit in Mumbai between May and June.
As part of the Art in Global Stores area, on May 2 Zegna will present in its New York boutique a work commissioned from American artist Emil Lukas, who works with yarn threads. "I met him at Art Basel and bought one of his pieces, then asked him to create one with silk threads — they are richer and shinier. It's going to be fantastic," Zegna said excitedly. The U.S. is the group's second-largest market after China, and Zegna was upbeat about the performance in that region, citing double-digit increases at retail, which accounts for 50 percent of revenues there and solid gains in the wholesale channel, too.
He expressed "confidence" for 2012 and pointed to the revamping of the Los Angeles and South Coast Plaza stores and expansion and refurbishing of the Chicago venue this year. These follow openings in Las Vegas, Short Hills, N.J., and Manhasset, N.Y., last year. There are also plans to unveil a new store in the Miami Design District "in the near future."
Zegna said group sales totaled 1.12 billion euros, or $1.55 billion at average exchange, in 2011, which he said was "a record year." Profit figures will be released in April. Given Italy's lackluster consumer spending and difficult economy, Zegna was especially grateful for exports, which accounted for 85 percent of business. "It's going to be a challenging year, with peaks and downs, unexpected situations, currency fluctuations and countries slowing down. Japan is flat and Europe is a question mark," he remarked. "I'm more positive than last year, but it's hard to predict."
He was "very pleased" with Italy's new Prime Minister Mario Monti's reforms. "He has a great team, he's taking action, and it's a credible government, but the country is in recession."
Once again, Zegna dismissed any interest in a public listing for the family-owned, 102-year-old company. "There is no reason to list. We are growing organically, we are financially solid, there are many opportunities and the family is united," he said.
