Protecting frozen, bursting water pipes in cold weather temperatures
Some may be dealing with frozen and busted water pipes, due to the below freezing temperatures in the area. Here are a few things to keep in mind when dealing with water pipes and the cold.
Indoor pipes can freeze, depending on temperatures, insulation, and placement in the building, according to Charles County Government. Pipes located in attics, above ceilings, in crawl spaces and basements, and close to exterior walls often freeze as well when the insulation is bad or wall cracks that allow cold air to enter.
Residents should know where the main water shut-off valve or valves are in case of an emergency. According to Charles County Government, citizens should never try to thaw a frozen pipe by using an open flame.
It is important to monitor water-based fire protection systems including automatic sprinkler systems, fire pumps, hoses and hydrants.
Here are a few way to prevent pipes from bursting or ice formation within the pipes, according to Charles County Government:
• Always place piping in heated areas of a building.
• Properly insulate attics, exterior walls, and other areas lacking adequate heating.
• Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors, and other conditions that allow heat loss.
• Keep exterior doors closed, even if not in the immediate vicinity of piping.
• Maintain heat in buildings at all times. No area with piping should be allowed to fall below 40°F (4°C). (This requires regular maintenance, inspection, and servicing of existing heating equipment, and safe emergency measures during a prolonged power failure.)
• Shut off water lines and drain all pipes if the building is to be left unattended for an extended period. (The exceptions are sprinkler systems unless all combustible materials are removed and the building is noncombustible or fire-resistive.)
• Provide insulation around a pipe sufficient to reduce heat loss, or provide heat tracing, if the pipe might be exposed to freezing temperatures.
• Install low temperature alarms (with remote monitoring) in cold-prone areas.
• Adequately maintain and prepare dry-pipe sprinkler systems for cold weather (drain low points, etc.).
• Properly service and winterize private yard hydrants.
• Clear snow and ice from private yard hydrants, outside hose connections, and fire protection system valves to help prevent freezing of these systems.

Household Connection Survey in Soc Trang Reveals Astonishing ResultsCreated on 07 February 2013
Since July 2011, Soc Trang Urban Public Works Company Ltd. (ST-UPWC) charges a tariff for wastewater services to customers who are connected to the public sewerage system in Soc Trang city. With this step, Soc Trang was the first province in Vietnam to implement the directions given in Prime Minister's Decree No 88/2007/ND-CP. If calculated on a real-cost and demand-driven basis, tariffs are globally considered a crucial tool to ensure quality and efficiency of public services. They give service providers (such as wastewater operators) the necessary financial autonomy to meet set service and performance standards, and hence are a warrant for sustainability of infrastructure investments.
Due to the lack of available data on household (HH) sewer connections, ST-UPWC had to conduct a large-scale HH survey during the preparation of tariff collection in the city. The survey aimed to identify those customers of ST-UPWC who are required to pay the tariff.
However, due to time-constraints and the extreme difficulty to identify whether a house is actually connected or not, the initial data collection was insufficient and unsatisfactory regarding reliability and validity of data. Also, it was initally unclear, whether open channels and ditches, which transport wastewater (WW) of domestic dischargers and are regularly cleaned and maintained by ST-UPWC, count as part of the public sewerage system, or not. This confusion lead to insufficient revenue for ST-UPWC (due to HH who should pay but were not registered as connected dischargers) and citizen complaints (from HH who were charged without being actually connected).
To clairfy the situation, ST-UPWC decided to re-survey all HH currently not registered as customers. Supported by WMP, 16 interviewers surveyed 10.136 HH in 10 wards of the city in October 2012. Besides using a short questionnaire, the specially trained interviewers visually inspected each house's WW discharge point(s) to ensure valid survey results.
With the survey, ST-UPWC could identify four groups of HH:
A. 1.210 HH (12%) which are connected to the public sewer system but had previously been counted as not connected
B. 1.709 HH (17%) which discharge their WW to open channels/ditches that are regularly maintained and cleaned by ST-UPWC
C. 1.064 HH (10%) which are not connected to the public sewer system, though it is available in front of their premises
D. 6.153 HH (61%) which are not connected to any sewer or ditch as these are not available in adequate proximity to the HH premises
1. A total of 2.919 HH (groups A and B) could be added as legitimate subjects to tariff collection to ST-UPWC's customer database.
2. For HH in group C, appropriate measures will have to be taken by local authorities to make them connect to the sewer system. By prevailing law (Decree 88/2007/ND-CP) it is required for WW dischargers to connect to sewer systems, if available and technically feasible. However, the currently very low Environment Protection (EP) fee (acc. to Decree 67/2003/ND-CP) which dischargers, who are not connected to sewer systems have to pay, and the comparably high WW tariff that connected dischargers are being charged, act as disincentives for HH to connect.
3. The high ratio of HH not connected to any kind of sewerage/drainage system (group D) is yet another proof for the very low HH connection ratio prevailing in Vietnam's cities (particularly in the Mekong-Delta), and confirms the results of previous studies conducted by WMP. If this fact is neglected during the planning and design of infrastructure investments, it will most certainly lead to severe technical problems (low WW volumes, low pollution loads) of central WW treatment plants with biological treatment technologies. As a number of failed WW investment projects over the past decade in Vietnam have shown, authorities, planners and donors must consider HH connections as an integral part of any investment project in WW infrastructure.
4. The surveying and re-surveying of such large numbers of housholds is a cumbersome and cost-intensive task. Provinces or cities that aim to implement Decree 88/2007/ND-CP are, however, required to conduct these surveys as the decree demands that only HH connected to public sewer systems shall be charged the WW tariff. As nowhere in Vietnam databases on sewer connections are available, the surveys become a necessity that are a contributing factor to the low willingness and motivation of local leaders to put the decree into practice.
5. WMP supports MoC in drafting a replacement decree for Decree 88. In this, WMP supports the idea that existing customer databases should be used to charge and collect WW tariffs. This could be either all water supply customers, or all households within the adminsitrative city boundaries, regardless of their connection to the sewerage system. This solution may cause an initial inequality, which will, however, fade out over time, as cities grow and develop and the integration of urban infrastructure becomes more complete. On the other hand, the solution proposed by WMP has clear advantages: it solves the EP fee vs. WW tariff confusion (no one living in a city will pay EP fee anymore), gives incentives for HH to connect and it increases local authorities' motivation to implement national regulations as it releaves them from the burden of having to implement cost and labor intensive connection surveys.

What's the difference between a statement and an impact statement?
Is there anything you are desperately yearning to know? Are there any pressing factual disputes you would like us to help resolve? This is the page where we shall do our best to answer any questions you throw at us, whatever the subject.
Ex England player, Jack Charlton
Q I have a print by Jack Vettriano called The Singing Butler in which the dancing gent leads with his right arm. When viewed in a mirror it is fine. Was this the result of turning the negative of a photo of the painting over in the darkroom? Is this common in prints?
Gerry Bonar, Fife
A The back-to-front dancing is exactly how Vettriano painted it. The painting depicts a man in dinner jacket and woman in a red ball gown dancing in the open air while a maid and a butler hold umbrellas to shelter them from the rain. It is said to be the best-selling art print in the UK and the original painting was sold at auction in 2004 for £744,800. Born in 1951, Vettriano may be the most successful Scottish artist ever, though he has always been much more popular among the public than among art critics. The reverse formation of the dancers has never been properly explained but the artist is said to have modelled the figures on those in an illustrators' reference manual.
Q My writings as a football historian have made me wonder about many players, such as Jack Charlton of Leeds and England, who were christened "John" but known as "Jack". How did Jack become a nickname for John? Was it something to do with the Navy?
Mike Payne, Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire
A Nicknames have often followed weird patterns. Just think of calling Margaret Peggy, or Charles Chuck, or Henry Harry, or even Richard Dick and you may give up trying to find any logic behind them. But we do know a little that may help explain John-Jack. The name "Jack" may sound as though it comes from the French "Jacques" but that seems not to be the case. First, Jacques was usually translated as "James" not "John" and the name "Jack" was often used, around the 13th century, as a generic name for a peasant or working man as, for example, in the words "steeplejack" and "lumberjack". The connection with John seems to have come about from an Old English habit of adding the suffix "-kin" to form a diminutive John, or its Dutch equivalent "Jan", became Jonkin or Jankin, and in time the last syllable was dropped and the -nk- changed to -ck-.
Q We can estimate the number of casualties from campaigns in world wars but what about the number of livestock or horses also killed, in particular during the Second World War in Europe? Also is it known for a war to have had a significant impact on wildlife or even extinction of a particular species?
Paul Blake, Blackwood, South Wales
A A study published in January 2018 revealed a strong correlation between human conflict and animal populations in Africa whose numbers have been drastically affected by wars. This may be caused by wartime shortages leading to more animals being hunted for food, or an increased number of guns falling into the hands of poachers, or simply because an increase in the number of fighters led to a decrease in animal protection measures. Also toxic effects of weapons can have a terrible effect on animals. The First World War brought about almost total extinction of the European bison, largely from German soldiers hunting them for sport, while the Second World War helped kill off the Japanese sea lion. Other smaller bird and snake species may also have been killed off by wars.

Q With winter storms getting more violent and more frequent, our lovely coastline is diminishing. Is there anywhere in the UK where the land is gaining on the sea?
Stan Jenkinson, Llanfairfechan, North Wales
A While coastal erosion and rising sea levels threaten coastal areas, the process of deposition, where silt, sediment, soil and rocks are deposited by the sea, has the opposite effect in some places. There is also a process, which has been going on since the melting of glaciers at the end of the last ice age, which has resulted in a shift in the tilt of Britain, resulting in some areas of land emerging from under water, while others are submerged. This is still going on, so there are areas where the land is gaining on the sea. North Norfolk is a good example: Wells-next-theSea used really to be next to the sea; now the sea is a mile away.
Q I have read that in certain court cases people make "impact statements". Can you tell me the difference between a statement and an impact statement?
Edmund Perks, Ivybridge, Devon
A Most of a court's time is involved in hearing evidence to establish the guilt or innocence of the accused. Impact statements may then be heard from victims of the crime before sentencing takes place or at a subsequent parole hearing. While a victim cannot directly make suggestions about sentencing, he or she may tell the court about the direct harm or trauma they have suffered and problems that have resulted.
Q I read an article in the Daily Express about women at the Bryant and May match factory going your questions answered ENGLAND LEGEND: Jack Charlton in the 1966 World Cup Final victory on strike in 1888 for better conditions. I have been wondering is this where the term "go on strike" came from, as one strikes matches?
Patric Cornner, Tunbridge Wells, Kent
A A nice idea but sadly it's not true. The first use of the verb "to strike" in this sense was in 1769 and referred to sailors who "struck their yards" (lowering the main sail) to prevent the ship from going to sea. This use of "strike" came from its use to refer to lowering a flag which had been in use since the mid-17th century. Self-igniting matches were not invented until 1805 and the earliest known use of the verb "to strike" in the sense of a match being lit was not until 1880.

Matt Drudge, the editor of well known Drudge Report, took a jab at Steve Bannon, calling him schizophrenic.
He tweeted out, "No wonder schizophrenic Steve Bannon has been walking around with a small army of bodyguards."
However, Drudge is not the only one swinging. President Trump also lashed out at the former White House supervisor on Wednesday.
Trending: Guy Jailed for Helping People Fix Their Microsoft Computers
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on behalf of Trump, "Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."
Independent Journal Review reports:
The president discredited Bannon's role in his White House victory in 2016, adding that since then, the far-right leader has faced multiple election losses in his self-proclaimed "war" against the establishment.
"Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country," Trump continued, "Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn't represent my base — he's only in it for himself."
"Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was," he added.
Bannon is on the outside looking in now and his stance with the President is not looking good. What happened to 'Bannon the Bulldog'? Has he abandoned his post, fighting against the media from outside the White House?
The Guardian on Wednesday published several quotes from Bannon that will appear in a new book from journalist Michael Wolff.
In the book, Bannon rips Donald Trump Jr., referring to his meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer he'd been told could offer dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as "treasonous" and "unpatriotic."
"They're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV," Bannon told Wolff, referring to the ongoing probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.
Bannon also told Wolff the probe would focus on money laundering.
"This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner. … It's as plain as a hair on your face," he said.

CHIBA, Japan, Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Unisun Energy Group announced that the 500KW photovoltaic project in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, to be constructed by its branch Unisun Japan, has obtained a non-recourse project finance with low-interest from the Hyakujushi Bank, Ltd., Japan. It is reported to be the third PV project of Unisun Japan that has successfully received financial support from local banks.
The renewable energy projects developed by Unisun in Japan have played a significant role in promoting the energy upgrade in the country. In virtue of its world leading PV technologies and talents originating from Germany, high-level energy solutions, expertise in project development and construction, and social responsibility demonstrated during social energy transformation, Unisun won the active responses from the Japanese government and local financial institutions.
According to a report recently issued by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), as of 2030, the proportion of solar photovoltaic generation to the total power generation in Japan is expected to rise to 12%. The power system in the northern cities of Japan is transforming from old grids to autonomy and localization, with approximately 40,000 cities opting to build microgrids and centralized renewable energy generation plants to achieve self-sufficiency.
As the largest distributed generation (DG) PV investor in China, Unisun Energy actively explores new markets overseas while reinforcing its business in China. Early 2013, Unisun set up a branch in Tokyo to formally enter Japan's renewable energy market. After several years of market development and team building, it now has owned independent development right over projects with more than 80MW capacity in Japan and has acquired the qualification for local engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). This March, Unisun Japan's EPC project a�� 15MW PV project in Okajima, Fukushima, was successfully connected to grid. Up to date, Unisun Japan possesses three PV power plants that are owned and operated by itself.
Unisun Japan first obtained a large long-term loan from Mitsubishi Electric Credit Corporation (MECC) for its 1MW PV power station in. Soon following the momentum, 2MW PV power station in Tochigi Prefecture passed the loan approval from the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation in a short time, attaining financial support of totally JPY 500 million (about RMB 30 million).
The Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation was formed by the merger of Sumitomo Bank, a central component of the Sumitomo Group and Sakura Bank of Mitsui Group, with total assets of JPY 160 trillion. It is Japan's third largest commercial bank, and listed the Top 10 commercial banks in the world. The Hyakujushi Bank, Ltd., which provides a large loan with low-interest of JPY 160 million for Unisun Japan's 500KW project in Chiba, is a century-old local bank established in 1878.
Peng Hao, CEO of Unisun Energy Group, said in the interview that the financial support by Japan's financial institutions is a high recognition of the company's innovative business model and professional service quality, which also produces a firm force for its continuous layout in the global market in the future.
Hao also revealed in the interview that, in addition to its existing business concerning solar energy development, construction and O&M, Unisun Japan will engage in other renewable energy fields such as biomass power generation and small household wind power generation. In the future, Unisun Energy will reach to more areas, aspiring to propel the green energy revolution from all aspects.

I got it as a gift from my lovely wife in 2006 (which is perhaps a big reason I don't want to part with it) and it just feels…wrong to part with it. It's the iPod video, the first model that had the vid player, I think, and it holds 30 gigabytes of music and stuff. I've got thousands of songs on there and even though it won't even hold a charge anymore, it still works groovy when I plug it into the car and run it through the Bluetooth. So I'm keeping it. At least until it dies.
Not long after I got this lil gem I started making playlists, just for the hey of it. This was before Scott and I pretty much simultaneously rediscovered the magic of the album as a whole body of work (thanks in large part to this book) and, well, I like assembling lists. Y'know, about trivial stuff like music and movies and sports. Never about pertinent life issues. I mean, that would be crazy, right?
So some of these lists are titled for a special occasion ("Thanksgiving Mix 2008," "Vacation Mix 2009" and such) and some are categorized by the date I made them. The first one I made is thusly called, very simply, "2-26-06." And today I thought, "Gee whiz, I'd like to listen to this."
(Yes. When I think to myself I actually sound a little like Lumpy Rutherford.)
The list is somewhat scattershot without much of a focus to it, but it's got a buncha songs I really like and at the time hadn't heard for quite awhile. Like Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" and Bob Mould's "The Last Night" and Freedy Johnston's "Bad Reputation" and XTC's "The Mayor of Simpleton." To name just a few.
So I'm listening today to this 17-song list made nearly eight years ago and I get excited, realizing the next song is a great one I haven't heard for long time. Patty Griffin's "Moses." So now I am driving in the car and giddy at the song about to come on.
Only it doesn't. "The Mayor of Simpleton" does instead (another great song, of course, but I wanted to hear Patti!). So I check to make sure it's not on shuffle. It's not. I check to make sure I didn't accidently advance the next song along. I didn't. Then I hit the "Songs" button on the dashboard to see the entire 17-song list.
And it shows me a 16-song list. One of the songs—Patti Griffin's "Moses"—is gone. It was there, saved to a list for nearly eight years, and now it's gone.
What the WHAT???
This can happen? Really? I've had this playlist for nearly 8 years on the same iPod. I've never known iPods to self-edit or change, have you? How in the name of all that is holy can a list saved to an iPod with 17 songs suddenly become a list with 16 songs? How? HOW?????
Anyway I'd like to know.
But in the meantime here's the song I wanted to hear today. Because it's such a wonderful song.
It's a fascinating little track, so raw and exposed it sounds like a demo. And yet at the same time is very clearly a finished piece, something whole and complete.
Here's what kills me—this is how Patti started her whole wonderful career. This is the very first song on her very first album in 1996, Living With Ghosts. It's a pretty audacious way to begin a career, with a deeply pained plea for empathy and nothing more than a cold, bony guitar line to support you.
Yet listen to the rough beauty at work here. Listen to the way she bounces between thoughts that are straight out allegory ("I need Moses, to cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain") and then become highly, almost obliquely personal ("I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here, with an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer"). Patti is so alone on this track, with a cold echo that makes it sound like she could be the last person on earth. Even as she bends in the slightest touch of morbid humor among the desolation.
Every time I see him he smiles
And tells me how well he's walking these miles
But he never ever asks a single thing about me
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually
Patti sings "Moses" with a full-on confessional urgency, messing with the meter of each line as if the words are coming to her as she sings them. And she's even able to show off her estimable range as she hits a pretty crazy height with "I need Moses!" on the second chorus. What a way to introduce yourself to the public.
So. I would never erase you, Patti. Chalk it up to a technological glitch. Or an iPod slowly dying. Or, I suppose, one of the first subtle hints that our devices are in fact readying themselves to conquer we silly, mortal humans.

In a simple but powerful post about being unable to change the cross he bears, Fr. Gordon MacRae cites a need for perspective in any measure of your own existence.
These Stone Walls recently published a post about annual spring cleaning and inspections in prison entitled "A Good Housekeeping Seal for the Hotel New Hampshire." We also gave it a subtitle: "How Two Grown Men Live Free of Clutter Without Room Service in 60-Square-Feet.'' It presented a soap opera-like glimpse of the days of our lives in prison from the inside.
A number of readers wrote that they laughed out loud all the way through it, but some also marveled at the photos of my friend, Pornchai Moontri's woodworking creations I don't want to overemphasize the soap-opera-like drama of life inside a sixty-square-foot prison cell, but as the world turns I would like to also give equal time to the outside.
Prisoners are not supposed to dwell on things they like about prison. We are not supposed to like it at all, and for the record, we don't. But "like" is a relative term. After 23 years trapped inside a single building with very little "outside," we like the fact that the place where we now live has very little "inside." Even prison is a matter of perspective.
Twenty-four men live in an area called a "pod" which is about the size of your average living room The room is surrounded by ten six-by-ten foot cells each housing two men with another four bunks out in the open to accommodate prison overcrowding. At one end of the small pod is a bathroom with two showers, two sinks, and two toilets used by 24 men. There are 24 such pods stretching across two multi-story buildings.
To really capture the atmosphere, I have to paraphrase something I wrote awhile back in an article for LinkedIn pulse entitled, "The Shawshank Redemption and its Real World Revision":
"To better understand prison, imagine taking a long walk away from home far outside your comfort zone. Invite the first 23 strangers you meet to come home with you. Then lock yourself in your bathroom with them, and ponder the fact that this is how you will live for the unforeseen future."
Coping is a matter of perspective Such an environment serves as a great impetus to get outside. For just the last two of my twenty-five years here, we have been able to do just that from about 5:00 AM until 9:30 PM. For the better part of every day we are now, in a sense, free range prisoners. We can roam outside at will in an area large enough for us only barely to notice the barred gate that slams shut if we roam too far.
So though our prison is still a prison, it is a vast improvement over how we once lived. When I step from our cell out onto the outside walkway with my coffee at sunrise each morning, I have to actually look down to see prison walls. The walkway outside our cell looks out over the walls into the forests and hills beyond. At night I can see distant headlights on the Interstate some miles away.
After the dungeon we lived in for all those years, I was stunned when I first saw that view. I have been stunned every morning since. In the winter, I watched with a chill in the frigid wind as the frozen world down below seemed to extinguish all signs of life. In the spring, I watched that world come to life again.
In the early morning, I can hear the lonely distant wail of a train whistle as it meanders along its tracks by the Merrimack River hidden from sight by miles upon miles of trees. It is a nostalgic reminder that there is a world and life out there.
Ernest Hemingway was right in the title of his classic work, The Sun Also Rises</a>. Even in a dark place – and prison is definitely a dark place – I have a choice. I can start each day bemoaning my imprisonment – which I cannot change – or I can start with the sunrise God has granted to me. Even here, the measurement of life is a matter of perspective.
This prison is built on multiple levels. People with knee problems would not much like it up here where I live and write. When I step out of our cell, I descend 52 outside stairs to the main yard of the unit where I now can roam. From there, I pass through a gate that opens to me each morning where another 24 stairs take me down to the main prison yard.
I cross the long walled yard twice a day from 07:15 to 11:00 AM and then again from 11:40 to 2:30 PM. Each time I climb another 48 stairs to the Law Library where I work And when I leave to descend those 48 stairs, a total of 76-stairs await my return to where I live. Just in routine movement, I climb about 600 stairs each day.
There are some ramps for prisoners in wheelchairs and those who cannot cope with the stairs, and often I spot someone sitting in a wheelchair there waiting for a push up the long, steep ramps. It is always a source of irritation to see 20-something year old prisoners walk by pretending not to notice a guy in a wheelchair pondering how to negotiate the ramps.
I always stop to assist. Sometimes they don't want a push and are just sitting there catching their second wind to proceed under their own steam. Some older or heavier guys patiently wait for a push.
One day recently as I came out of work, my friend, John was sitting nearby in his wheelchair. John is a U.S. Army veteran about 20 years younger than me. He survived two tours of duty in a Middle Eastern war zone only to lose a leg in a motorcycle accident. After a few years confined in that chair, a prison within the prison, John's weight rose to over 300 pounds.
When I saw him sitting there at the foot of the long steep ramps leading to his housing area, I asked (reluctantly, I admit) if he needed a push. He said his assigned pusher – some kid working off disciplinary reports – did not show up.
So ignoring his 300 pounds, I handed him the books and paperwork I was carrying and pulled him back away from the ramp so I could get a little momentum. We were off, and John was actually impressed. "You're in better shape than the kid who's usually huffing and puffing by now," John said as I did my best to mask my huffing and puffing. We made it to the top of the longer ramp and turned a corner for the next one which is steeper.
Just then on the incline, John dropped my books and papers. Holding his chair from rolling back with one arm, I strained to pick up the books with the other. We lost all our momentum. When we finally made it to the top, my heart was pounding thunderously in my chest, and I was struggling for breath.
By the time I left John at his housing unit, I was on the verge of collapse. I made my way through the gate where I live, and looked with defeat at the eight flights of stairs that stood between me and my bunk. So I sat on a bench to recover. As I sat there red in the face and heaving air, a young man came and sat beside me. "You're the last guy we want to see hauled off in a body bag," he said bluntly. "Please don't do that again."
I was 41 years old when I was sent to this prison. Now I am 66, and I have been living in some denial of that fact. My mind and its ego both ignore the reality that I probably shouldn't be pushing 300-pound men up those long ramps.
I have always based such things on whether or not I could do them without ever thinking about whether or not I should. Aging is more of a challenge in this age of its denial. Aging is the single, most basic reality that none of us can change. So it requires serenity to accept.
Back in 2016, I wrote a post about the great Lutheran Pastor and theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr and his famous "Serenity Prayer." The prayer was adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other Twelve Step groups, but only a small part of it appeared on those hallowed walls of recovery.
On Saturday mornings, when I don't have to be up and about at 0600 for work, I like to go outside with my little radio and walk the stairs for exercise. My 600 stairs a day on weekdays conditioned me for some marathon climbing on Saturdays. I lose count and just walk the walkways and stairs until I cannot climb another step.
Concord, New Hampshire is host to a small Catholic radio station WCIX, found at 102.6 on the local FM dial. Its signal is too weak to be heard anywhere beyond Concord, and it is also too weak to penetrate prison walls. But when I climb to the top where I live high above the walls, I can receive it. In the winter, the howling frigid wind up there makes it hard to listen for long, but in spring and summer I take breaks from my Saturday stairs to see what local Catholics are saying.
On a recent Saturday morning, I caught part of a discussion between a Catholic radio interviewer and a priest and seminarian from my diocese. They were talking about the fallout from "the abuse crisis in the Church," a much misused term. There is no point repeating myself. I made my case for how this topic is used and abused by those with agendas of their own in "A Little Perspective Before Stoning Your Priest."
That Saturday morning discussion on Concord Catholic radio was difficult to take in. I wanted very much to respond to the priest and seminarian and their angst over all the bad press, but a radio discussion is a one-way street. Writing at These Stone Walls is my only avenue for making a counterpoint, but TSW is read much more in Washington, DC than it is in New Hampshire.
But that must not stop me from seeing the truth and writing what I see. During the last year of one-sided media battering of the Catholic Church and priesthood, readership of These Stone Walls has fallen off by about a third. Facebook, which has virtually a monopoly on social media, is said to have suppressed some Catholic viewpoints, especially conservative ones.
But TSW has also moved some to action. I have been very inspired by what I hear from readers. Two readers have told me of their decisions to pursue formation for priesthood or religious life after following TSW over the last few years.
I received a moving message from Peter Haas, a devoted reader in New Jersey who has actually become a little less devoted in recent months due to the fact that he has become very busy. Two years ago, Mr. Haas sent me a message telling me that as a result of my writings at TSW, he has become a volunteer at a local prison, an apostolate that he is finding to be very rewarding. A few weeks ago, he sent me this remarkable update.
"I'm a little behind on your posts – just printed the last two so I can read them later. As I have said before, you are an inspiration to me. You may remember that I started prison ministry a few years ago after reading your posts. Here is an update: Thanks to the Holy Spirit, I am now the Coordinator of Prison Ministry for the Diocese of Trenton, New Jersey. Within the Diocese, we have six state prisons, four county jails, and the federal prison at Fort Dix. Over 10,000 prisoners."
The courage to change the things that we can is most powerfully manifested in ourselves. Every fundamental and radical change that I have witnessed in prison – "Pornchai Moontri: Bangkok to Bangor, Survivor of the Night" comes to mind – redemption and salvation have been found not in changing their circumstances or their past, but, through grace, changing themselves.
I have been re-reading a book about coping with the darkest of times. The book was profiled in one of my first posts on These Stone Walls ten years ago, "Maximilian and This Man's Search or Meaning." The book, of course, is Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning which contains volumes of wisdom in very few page. It has been my guiding light in prison.
Dr. Viktor Frankl, a young medical doctor and psychiatrist, was imprisoned at Auschwitz by the Third Reich during World War II. He was the only one among his family to survive. In a very dark time and place, he reminds me of the one freedom that can never be taken from me. It is a freedom I have taught to many others:
"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing the last of the human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." (Man's Search for Meaning, p 66)
The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr captures what Viktor Frankl has taught us. The entire prayer is beautiful, and it is the omitted part that I find myself most in need of. I wrote about it in "God, Grant Me Serenity, but Wait Until I Calm Down":
"God, Grant me Serenity to
Accept the things I cannot Change,
Courage to change the things I can, and
Wisdom to know the difference;
Living one day at a time,
Accepting one moment at a time,
Enduring hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
And not as I would have it.
Knowing that You will Make all things right
If I but surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You in the next."
– Reinhold Niebuhr
One day when listening to my radio while walking in the prison ballfield, I arrived just in time to hear Catholic radio host and columnist Teresa Tomeo interview singer and songwriter Annie Karto.
Annie was talking about the evolution of a beautiful original song she had recently written. Along with the song, she produced a moving video to accompany it. I have never seen it, but Annie was inspired by These Stone Walls to include me in the video.
I give Annie Karto this week's last word: "Rise Up, All People."

Visions do Come True
Reflecting on 2014
As I reflect on 2014, I am awed by that has happened this past year and what is come in the next year. I am living in awe and gratitude for all of the beauty that surrounds me and how life is as it should be. I am blessed beyond measure and I am forever grateful for all of you that grace my life.
in 2015 I shall become a grandmother. In 2014, at a New Year's eve party, my vision board had children, babies to be exact as I was expecting that soon I would be a grandmother. Who knew it would happen before the end of the year? Who knew my daughter would be expecting as we ring in the new year? Yes, the world does work in mysterious ways, but overall, there is a plan and we are co-creating our plan with unseen forces in the Universe.
In March I attended Mike Dooley's trainer of trainers in San Diego and met some awesome people. It was such an inspiration and I came back and started working on my Millionaire DIVAS program. The program has been an absolute success and I am sooo grateful for the inspiration that came from all of the IPPIES. They are an awesome group of Infinite Possibilities trainers who love, support, and send so much love and light to each other. We keep us going and we keep each other sane we keep each other motivated. I have learned so much from these gals and I am so proud of being a part of their lives.
As part of Millionaire DIVAS, I have also started selling Mary Kay and Dove Chocolate. I am a true believer in relational marketing and I love how these programs help individuals to earn a living, earn a vacation, save for a college education, or just have a few extra dollars. I also love how they help those who have been marginalized in our society get out of the shadows and into the mainstream. I am true believer that we are all here for a reason and we have something to offer and no one should be made to live in the shadows of humanity and I will do my bit to help all of us connect and live in love and light.
Stay tuned for more information on how you can call abundance into your life and how you can truly make 2015 your year to live, love, shine, and get the life you love and deserve.
Seguimos Adelante,
Zulmara Maria

Each and every one of us is familiar with the X Men. It is a famous comic series, which was adapted into movies and loved by all of us. Its most popular character is the dry and dull, but dangerous all the same, Wolverine who has metal claws coming out of his fists. His cool demeanor and masculine personality make us want to be like him. His animalistic etiquettes and a wolf-like name to compliment his nature have something strangely attractive about it.
He is not the ultimate good guy that strives for the betterment of society, his motives are entirely personal and all he lives for is taking revenge on those who intruded in his life. The only way he feels that his revenge would be complete is through murder. However, the audience stays sympathetic towards his sentiments and, like him, finds reasons to justify his actions. His rough charm entraps the audience into loving him and siding with him in all his doings.
Wolverine has thousands of fans across the globe wishing to have metal claws coming out of their fists and having rugged personalities just like him. They collect posters and pictures and comics to find an outlet to their affection for him. But alas! What good are all these things? They are a clear waste of money and cannot be used in any productive manner. Soon they will see the vanity of these things and will feel foolish about their behaviors. They ought to collect something that they can use with full confidence and not have any regrets in spending their hard earned money on it. One such thing is X Men Origins Wolverine jacket that can be worn by everyone. It is made of exquisite material and has an impressive finish. Just like the hero, the jacket has an eye for perfection and only gets to be delivered to its' clients when it is perfect in every way.
Although these products are made to entertain a fan's feeling for a particular character or a film, nevertheless, it is not considered a trivial thing to make. On the contrary, it is treated with utmost reverence and is thus, made of excellent fabric and is stitched with professional brilliance. It not only caters to the clients' sentiments, but it also provides warmth to its wearer and is fit to be worn in public gatherings and is not reserved for private use only.

text: Public Sector Washington approves RFID anti-spying law Sharon Gaudin @itworldca Published: March 28th, 2008Washington Gov. Chris Gregoir this week signed a bill making it a Class C felony to use RFID technology to spy on someone. The bill was signed about a week after the Washington State Senate unanimously passed Bill 1031, which makes it a crime to intentionally scan people's identification remotely without their knowledge and consent, for the purpose of fraud, identity theft, or some other illegal purpose. The bill specifically cites RFID and facial recognition technology.Violators face a prison sentence of up to 10 years. In addition, if the illegally gathered data is used in a separate crime, up to 10 years could be added to whatever sentence they receive for the second crime."Our intent was to put some basic rules of the road in place," said State Rep. Jeff Morris. "As the technology is being deployed, it needs to be done in a way that the public won't sense there's a huge violation to their privacy rights. My fear is that state legislatures are good at being reactionary when something atrocious happens. We wanted to be ahead of this one."Morris, who sponsored the bill, noted that Washington state began using so-called Enhanced Driver Licenses this winter. The new licenses use RFID tags and can be used at the Canadian border crossing instead of a passport. In light of these new ID cards and the growing number of RFID-based customer loyalty cards and company ID cards, Morris said it was time for a law that protects people's privacy.The law, which goes into in July, focuses on skimming or lifting information from RFID tags without the knowledge of the owner. A person, for instance, could sit in a crowded outdoor cafe and surreptitiously use an RFID reader to pick up information from any number of RFID-based cards in the area."If I take an RFID card from work or the grocery store, I should know that it's protected, and someone else can't read that card to get my identity, steal from me or stalk me," said Morris. "What I found out is when people are made aware of the technology, they get very concerned about the implications it will have on their own security — not knowing when people are looking over their shoulder."Morris said the bill that was passed this week is a watered-down version of what he started with. Now that this law is in place, he said he wants to focus on companies putting RFID tags in customer loyalty cards or other forms of customer identification without the person's knowledge.Related content:Enhanced drivers' licences create furore in Canada and U.S.Opinion: RFID technology in health care – it's not the end of privacy, it's the beginningU.S. borders axe RFID security Public Sector card, licenses, RFID tags

Looking to produce outstanding monthly cash flow returns on your turnkey investments? It's not impossible! Jeff Schechter, CEO and Co-Founder of High Return Real Estate, LLC, shows you exactly how you can achieve this goal. Together with Jack Gibson, his co-founder and the company's president, High Return Real Estate has over 80-plus turnkey properties that are producing outstanding monthly cash flow returns. Jeff shares a sneak peek into the world of turnkey investments, and gives strategies, tips, and practical advice for real estate investors looking for passive income. Jeff also owns a private consulting practice where he helps people realize their full potential in all aspects of life.
Jeff Schechter's love for real estate investing began in the 1980's, when he began flipping homes that he lived in. Since those early days of torn up kitchens and bathrooms, Jeff has bought and sold many properties, and remains an active investor to this day.
Listen to the podcast here:
Outstanding Monthly Cash Flow Returns On Turnkey Investments With Jeff Schechter
I have with me Jeff Schechter and he has a partner, Jack Gibson. Together, they founded a company called High Return Real Estate. They specialize in turnkey investments. They personally have over 80 plus turnkey properties that are producing outstanding monthly cash flow returns. They are also the host of the High Return Real Estate Show, a podcast that gives strategies, tips, and practical advice for real estate investors looking for passive income and consistently high returns. In addition to real estate investing, both Jeff and Jack have thriving multimillion dollar businesses. Jeff owns a private consulting practice. He helps people realize their full potential in all aspects of life. I wanted to invite Jeff here because I am certain that he must have incredible business experience and must have some great entrepreneurial stories. Welcome, Jeff, to Heartrepreneur Radio.
Thank you, Terri. I'm happy to be here.
I'm excited to have you. I was talking to clients about having passive income and they said, "What's the number one thing to have passive income?" My answer was real estate. How did you get into real estate?
I started off a long time ago in the '80s, during house hacking of my own properties. That was before we knew the term house hacking. I was just interested in that stuff. I'm interested in finding ways to force appreciation in my own homes. That was originally what got me to bug and then later on did some flipping of properties that I didn't do. It was just always something that was on my radar because I saw some huge potential there.
What advice do you have for someone who has never done this? How did they even get started? I flipped two houses, but I can't say that I would really know how to advise someone to do this.
It's just all in the numbers. Even if you didn't know anything about rehabs or repairs or anything like that and even if you were paying big prices with contractor markups, in the world of flipping, for example, you know that a property's got a market value, it's just simple subtraction. If you were able to subtract out every possible expense in rehab and your buying price and there were still enough "meat" on the bone leftover, you'd probably have a profitable situation. That's one way of doing things, but at the end of the day, it's all about the math.
[Tweet "If you have something really great, then you just have to believe. You have to tough it out."]
Are there special areas that you look in? You've got these 80 plus turnkey properties. Are they in special locations? Where do you find them?
That's the key. Sometimes, that math does not work in many areas where it might work in other areas. For example, most of our properties are in Indianapolis. They are in what would be considered C-class neighborhoods. What that speaks to you really is just the price-to-rent ratio. Our goal is buy and hold; it's not necessarily flipping. We want to make cash flow over a long period of time. We look at what it costs to get us into any given property, including the repairs and getting everything ready for it to be rented. Once we put a renter in there, we still look at other expenses for maintenance and upkeep and property management and all that. How much "meat" is leftover on the bone after all is said and done, can we create a very profitable situation? If the answer is yes, then it's definitely a buy. If it's no, it's not a buy. In Indianapolis in particular and generally a lot of the places in the Midwest, a situation where we can do that kind of stuff.
On top of real estate, you have another business. How do you manage all of these things?
Lots of lists. We get some help too. For what we do, it's all about systemizing, using software, and making sure we use checklists to stay on top of everything. My consulting business is part-time and mostly, I just do it because it's a labor of love. I enjoy mixing it up with other entrepreneurs and finding out what makes them tick or helping them find what makes them tick. That's one of those things that doesn't matter what else I'm doing. One of my favorite things is being on the phone with a fellow entrepreneur or being on the phone with a fellow investor because those are my two passions.
What would you tell someone who maybe is wanting to start their own business or just started their own business? What advice do you have for them?
There's a million great ideas out there. One of the things that people don't recognize is they think they have a great idea or a great product, "We're a great service. Why wouldn't everybody want that?" They're a little bit biased when they look at it. There's a term in marketing land that we use called USP, Unique Selling Proposition. The question then becomes to these entrepreneurs is, "What is the biggest problem that is being solved by your product or service?" If it's something that got some pretty wide reach, could solve a specific problem, and is definable, then you may have something. Otherwise, you probably just have a great idea that's going to keep you up at night.
We talked a lot here about that biggest problem that people need to solved. We talked about the result or the outcome that we can give and whether or not people are looking for that and we want that. We then talked about creating a core unique positioning statement that shows you're the only person that can do that in the market. What has been the most difficult thing that has happened for you in your entrepreneurial journey?
It wasn't in real estate. During that 2008, 2009 crash, I was in a flipping business and pretty much got my ass handed to me. I was doing some things that I would never do now. Experience and that kind of stuff is always a fantastic teacher. I literally started all over, and certainly at that point, was not a young man. That was pretty devastating. There were some other things that were going on personally and I was having some health challenges all at the same time. I look back on that as a very dark period in my life, but out of that came the seeds of some great opportunity.
I have a lot of clients that talk about should they do business with a co-founder, should they get a business partner, should they go at it alone. I've done it all different kinds of ways in all different kinds of businesses that I owned. How did you and Jack get together and what would you say to somebody who's exploring those kinds of opportunities?
Having a partner, you've got to have the right one. We all have heard millions of horror stories about the wrong partner. To be truthful, I've had wrong partners too, including during that period in '08 and '09 that I was describing. Jack and I got together because we saw some similar things and we each had strengths that the other one didn't have. There was a natural synergy there. I live in Indianapolis because this is where our business is based, but at the time that Jack and I met, I was living in Austin, Texas. I was doing some consulting and Jack was one of my consulting clients. I was helping him with another business. It had nothing to do with real estate, but he started describing to me some of the stuff that was going on with some purchases of real estate in Indianapolis.
Even though I had sworn it off because of my previous experiences, I admit I was rather intrigued. When I started looking at the kinds of things that I wanted to do in my next business, because I was already making notes about what I was putting out there to the universe, what he was talking about was firing on all eight cylinders as it were. As it turns out, he's kind of a bull in a china shop. In other words, he's that classic, just fire, don't worry about ready and aim. He's all about the action. I'm the guy that's a little bit more like, "We got to put the systems in, we got to do this, we got to do it right, we got to market it right, we got to say it the right way, we got to have the USP," and all that other kind of stuff. Together, we're an amazing combination. I had some of those marketing and structure skills that he just didn't really have; but he had a certain drive and energy that pulls me as well too. It's extremely synergistic and works out really well.
People that I talk to very frequently are saying, "Maybe I should take on a business partner. Maybe somebody can make up for the things that I'm not strong in and I can use my strengths." I've had some horror stories along my journey as well. I always tell people, if you find someone and there's a balance and the two of you can come together, combined what you each have strengths, that one plus one doesn't equal two exponentially. It equals more at eleven or a thousand. If someone is already in a business and they're struggling and they're working long hours and the business isn't going as well as they want, do you have any advice for that person?
Our business is only a couple of years old. Just to put things into perspective, I dropped everything, left Austin, moved to Indianapolis, and didn't know anybody. My business partner lives three hours away and it was probably a solid over a year until we started seeing any real revenue. We had some here and there, but it certainly wasn't even remotely catching with our startup costs. I would say any advice I would give people is number one, you always have to continue to believe in yourself. If you have something really great, then you just have to believe. You have to tough it out. I knew we would make it, but there were periods where I was not necessarily the happiest scamper. No income, no revenue, not knowing too many people in the new town.
[Tweet "Experience is always a fantastic teacher."]
You have to believe, number one, and you have to keep pushing. I don't know that there's any secret sauce. You look at some of the most successful entrepreneurs that are out there and the great majority of them are not necessarily have this amazing genius or talent or anything like that. They just believe in themselves and they have this amazing amount of persistence. They're willing to tough it out and grind it out until it happens. There are many other dead bodies out there in entrepreneur land that give up too soon. For whatever reason, they just do, and they may never reach the promised land as it were.
It breaks my heart sometimes when I hear how people have given up and how quickly they've given up. When somebody asks me about the success in the different businesses I've owned, my saying has always been, "I find a way or I make a way." I'm very persistent. If I started something, I'm going to finish it. I'm going to see it to the end. Sometimes right around the corner, what I don't see is right there; and if I just stayed a little bit longer on the course, it all shows up. Where can people listen to your podcast?

About Jeff Schechter
My name is Jeff Schechter, but my friends call me "Shecky" This started in the 3rd grade, where there were 3 other Jeff's in my class…I guess I had to figure out a way to be different! I've had the entrepreneurial bug my entire life, and love connecting with other entrepreneurs. I started my first business right out of college, and over the years, I've developed my sales and marketing skills. This has proven to be a pretty good skill set, as I've been involved in numerous businesses ventures.
My love for real estate investing began in the 1980's, when I began flipping homes that I lived in. Since those early days of torn up kitchens and bathrooms, I've bought and sold many properties, and I am an active investor to this day.
In addition to investing, I also operate a private consulting practice. I've been blessed to have coached hundreds of business owners, and thrive on helping people realize their full potential…not just in business, but in all aspects of life!
Through an unusual chain of events and business relationships, I met Jack on a consulting call. Very quickly, we realized that we had the same interests and passions. Those initial conversations were the seeds of what is now my favorite business, High Return Real Estate, LLC. I look forward to connecting with you!

Bratislava to establish low-emission zones
In order to reduce air pollution in the city, local authorities are introducing legislative changes
- July 08, 2019 11:30
- Anton Stoyanov
As Bratislava is by far the biggest city of Slovakia, it's also concentrating a lot of people in a somewhat restricted space. Due to the high amount of car-usage, the quality of air is significantly decreased and thus the quality of life is suffering. To combat such developments, the local government of the Slovak capital is planning the introduction of low-emission zones within the city. "The high concentrations of car traffic, intensive construction activity, emissions from industrial activities and local heating plants contribute to the increased concentrations of pollutants in the air in Bratislava," states the municipality.
The introduction of the proposed low-emission zones in district of the city will be conditional on the support precisely of the districts' authorities. Some immediately came in support for the notion, while other remained skeptical – like the district of Raca. Others demanded a number of caveats – such as conditions based on the overall state of air-pollution in Bratislava and the creation of an emissions map of the capital, while others wanted the introduction of low-emission zones to be voluntary, rather than an obligation.
Readers might remember that the United Kingdom's capital London also recently introduced the so-called Ultra Low Emission Zones in order the combat air-pollution in the city's centre.

I just graduated and am looking for my first non-internship job.
I transferred schools, and got a significantly better GPA at my newer school.
How should I represent my educational history and GPA on my CV? Putting both schools takes up a lot of real estate, and it'd be nice not to put my subpar initial GPA on display. I am thinking of just putting my latter school and GPA and listing my graduation date. Is this ethical?

YEMEN/2019/Behind the Frontlines of Hodeidah
In early 2018, fighting opposing Ansar Allah troops and forces supported by the coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates intensified along the frontline between Taïz and Hodeidah. The coalition-backed forces continued to advance on Hodeidah, until the offensive on this city was launched on 13 June 2018. Following this offensive, MSF teams opened in August a surgical field hospital in Mocha, Taiz governorate, to provide emergency medical care to war wounded from the Hodeidah and Taiz frontlines.
The MSF field hospital in Mocha remains the only health facility performing emergency surgery on the local population in the area. Teams are also treating pregnant women with complicated deliveries that require urgent surgery. Since MSF opened its hospital in Mocha, its staff have provided more than 2,000 emergency room consultations and performed around 1,000 surgical procedures. Guillaume Binet, French photographer, went to Mocha for MSF to report on the situation.

Training Saves Lives
Leader In Safety recently performed CPR and AED training for ConCreate USL Ltd., that was effectively put to use shortly after on the job site. A worker suffered a heart attack and because of the quick response of a trained employee, the worker was resuscitated and is alive and well.
A day to remember
On April 28th, the Day of Mourning, CCOHS, WSIB, Leader In Safety and job sites across Ontario will commemorate, honour and pay tribute to the millions of Ontarians whose lives have been impacted by a workplace fatality, injury or illness.
A Living Tribute is located at the WSIB office in Toronto and candles can be lit online at www.facebook.com/dayofmourning.
Please join CCOHS, WSIB and Leader In Safety in our commitment to eliminate all workplace injuries and fatalities.
Upcoming Mol Blitzes

May – Home builders/Low Rise Construction – Construction Sector

June – Diamond Drilling – Mining Sector
Roadside Assistance
For the past four years, K.J. Beamish Construction Co., Limited and their group of companies, has relied on Leader In Safety to provide health and safety training for many of their 600 employees.
Traveling to Beamish offices and job sites across Ontario, Leader has taught and renewed certifications in WHMIS, First Aid, CPR and AED devices, traffic control, signaling, use of fire extinguishers, and the transportation of dangerous goods. While on site Leader has also ensured compliancy with Bill 168 and workplace violence, and Bill C45, which imposes criminal liability on organizations for negligence.
Beamish is proud to report that with the assistance of Leader In Safety, safety awareness has increased tremendously and on-site incidences have seen a substantial decline.
Young Workers
Eager to make a good impression young workers require the most instruction as they are often unable to recognize potential hazards, they don't ask many questions and are reluctant to report unsafe conditions.
"Young workers need to be properly trained, mentored and in some cases, identified, so more experienced workers can help them foresee potential situations and respond accordingly."
Tom Simpson, Leader In Safety Inc.
Health and Safety training should begin as soon as a young or new worker joins your company. Failing to provide proper orientation, training and on-the-job guidance, can cost more than lost production time; it can lead to hefty fines, stop work orders and even death.
Workwell Audits
With a required passing grade of 75%, Workwell Audits are not to be taken lightly. Once flagged, many companies don't know where to begin. Leader In Safety has a proven track record for helping their Workwell Audit clients achieve a passing grade.
Leader In Safety Safety Audits include:
Any project, any size, anywhere in the world, Leader In Safety is there to minimize risks, make it safe for employees and protect your company's bottom line.

Here are some tips for playing progressive slot machines that will hopefully show you the right way to win the progressive jackpot, you always wanted to win. First, you should consider the type of progressive slot machine where you just sit in front of, because there are basically three different types of progressive slot machines.
The independent progressive slot machine is the first category, which we will talk. This slot machine is a single slot machine that is not connected by electronic means with other progressive slot machines. This type of progressive slot machine has the lowest payout because the jackpot is only one part of the coins that are playful in this machine. It is ideal for players who simply want to have some fun without spending much money on it.
Remember, though, that not all independent progressive slot machines the same amount of jackpot winnings, therefore if you want to play a progressive slot machine of these independent, look for the machines, which offer the highest jackpot payouts.
The second type, which we will talk about is the networked or linked progressive slot machine. This is one of a series of progressive slot machines that are connected in a network, and the jackpot is caused by any linked progressive slot machine in this network, which are larger jackpot payouts.
Read here the legend of the payout before you decide which is the linked progressive slot machines suitable for you. The jackpot on this or associated linked progressive slot machines that arises from a small fraction of the coins that are playful at every single progressive slot machine in the network.

This is not the first time that this has happened but I would like it to be the last. Look, I like to talk in class...I don't deny that...but I kind of assume that people just sort of forget that stuff when class is over and it's conversation without consequences. The idea that some girl would remember me 4 months later makes me uneasy because it reminds me of all the stupid shit I've said over the years and how that might be attached to my name. I prefer to be just another face in the crowd.
Furthermore I don't understand why it's only girls who remember me this way. It's happened numerous times now and it's sort of weird. It could be related to the fact that I actually talk to guys in my classes so I am unsurprised when they remember me (I mean I'm not shocked when Hee-Ann recognizes me on the street.) It could be that girls are just more apt to hand out meaningless compliments becuase they're socialized to be sugar and spice and not covered in lice. I don't know.
Anyway the discussion section went well, I had prepared in order to take down Mock Trial Pres but she wasn't there so I contented myself with winning back some ground against the TA by arguing much more coherently and intelligently than I did last monday (I feel better with my FUCK YOU persona so I'm more able to concentrate and I also did some reading before class this time due to my increased focus) and I enjoyed myself. I liked the foreign policy class too...It's not overly demanding but it's interesting and at least not as simplistic and stupid as the intro classes. Talked to the professor about Lend-Lease and all that stuff.
Anyway I talked a little to elephant chick (as I have dubbed her because of her memory...she is actually rather slim with normal sized ears and nose) after class and she seemed quite nice and normal, except for the fact that she's the streaked hair bare midriff type and yet claims to absolutely love spending hours in the library doing research, so I don't see much trouble developing there.
Still it's kind of strange and unsettling. If I'm going to be universally disliked I'd to at least be universally forgetable.

Flights to and from Iceland are relatively cheap and quick from the US, which is something more and more people are beginning to realize these days, and that's very convenient because it's not going to be the same place it is now for long. More and more folks are heading to this near arctic circle destination to see it's insane beauty and unique culture every year, hopefully it never changes and over half the population, including it's prime minister, still hole-heartedly believe that invisible elves exist for years to come.
Too much to talk about so I'm going to list things to do and maybe not do. Here we go.
-First thing, get off the airplane and on to the tarmac and take a deep breath of fresh, crisp, arctic air. I'm not joking, it's amazing.
– Take a bus into town for like, $7, and hit up the tiny lobster & crab bisque soup shack. Get the whipped cream on top. Trust me, it's not as weird as it sounds.
– Stay at The Loft hostel in town. It has a rooftop deck and locals hang out there. Talk to some of them, they're stupid nice.
– Take a stroll. Town is small, can't get lost. Bars, restaurants, cafe's all over the place. If you go in the summer and it's a sunny day, people will not be working and will instead be drinking outdoors, everywhere.
– Go to the supermarket and buy some food. Everything is crazy expensive so it's worth it to save a bit of coin and not eat out for every meal, if that's of concern to you.
– Find any one of the small cafe's that serve morning foods. Eat the dense, dark rye bread with creamed goat cheese and cured fish. Have a beer with it, it's ok if it's breakfast.
– Go to My Concept Store and talk to the guy who owns it. He's amazing, and it's a great shop for gifts to bring home that aren't at all touristy etc.http://www.myconceptstore.is/is/
– Load some Ausgeir (https://soundcloud.com/asgeirmusic) on your iphone. Listen to it and walk around.
– Load some Sigur Ros on your phone as well and definitely listen to that while on your bus tour of the Golden Circle. https://www.re.is/day-tours/golden-circle-tours?gclid=CMCiy9qD3cwCFciFfgodF0UFAQ
– Go drink beer and talk to people
– Check out The Harpa.
– Rent a bike in town and head out to explore. If it's windy, don't rent a bike. The wind will knock you over and you'll scrape your hands and knees.
– Don't eat whale. It's not good and costs more than your retirement. Plus whales are dope and you shouldn't eat them. But, your call.
– Go to the famous hot dog stand and chow down. http://www.bbp.is/
This place is stunning and so, so memorable on so many levels. In the summer it stays light out until about 2am, then gets dark for about 2 hours. That's it. Don't let it get to your head though, yes it is still light out, but you are equally as drunk at 2 am when then sun is still up.
Explore away!
Insider Tip
Don't get too cheeky asking locals about elves, they're dead serious when they say they are real and it's no joking matter. Well, it kind of is, but that's just Icelandic humor, you won't get it. Don't try.

Accounting supervision
Accounting supervision is a service that we offer as an alternative to the comprehensive outsourcing of accounting services. The range of external services of the chief accountant includes: regular supervision of the client's accounting books at his seat or by remote access to the accounting records, depending on the technical capabilities. By combining external accounting supervision with keeping the books at the company, the client has, among others, the possibility of smooth transition from full external accounting to in-house accounting.
As an accounting supervisor, we would oversee and coordinate the staff of an accounting office or financial operations unit. You would provide leadership in various accounting and fiscal procedures, ensuring that they are performed correctly and that funds are managed according to the organization's goals and objectives. You would also be in charge of interviewing, hiring, and training new employees as well as performing periodic performance evaluations and administering disciplinary actions as necessary. Preparing the work schedules and processing leave requests is another important administrative aspect of the position.
In addition to carrying out supervisory tasks, an accounting supervisor performs professional accounting functions, such as preparing financial statements, developing budgets, and processing audit reports. On a regular basis, supervisors are expected to perform account-budget analyses and report your findings to your superiors. Accounts-payable and accounts-receivable tasks also fall under your job duties, including management of invoices, cash receipts, and interdepartmental transfers.
