Here are six commercial lease line items to identify for and negotiate.
The per square foot rent is only the entry fee in most commercial leases.
The fine print can make the tenant responsible for additional unplanned expenses. It is vital to the success of the business to be able to calculate all the costs related to the lease prior to executing this legally binding document...
The lease is drafted by the landlord for the purpose of protecting his/her interests, not the interests of the tenant. Be prepared to negotiate the terms and conditions in the agreement that do not match the needs or your budget of the company.
Execution of the lease will obligate the company and its major stakeholders to a long term financial commitment that can affect the profitability of the company. Seek the advice of an unbiased professional, a real estate attorney, an accountant, or a financial consultant, who can guide you in the lease negotiations.
The following tips will assist you with the process.
Request a Letter of Intent (LOI).
This document is not a legally binding document but should outline the major terms and conditions of the lease agreement. If items are not clearly defined, ask for clarification. You can negotiate and make revisions to the LOI prior to signing the finale lease agreement.
If you plan to seek financing for the expansion of your business, ask the perspective lender if he or she will commence the loan process with the LOI, assuming you will have an executed lease prior to loan closing.
Do not sign the lease until you have the availability of all the funds needed for the lease, including security deposits, funds for capital improvements to the premises, and working capital to meet the increases in operating expenses until breakeven is achieved,
Six specific line items in the LOI and lease to look for and negotiate:
1. Pass thru of operating expenses (Common area maintenance- CAM)
All the lines items to be included in CAM should be itemized and the landlord should provide a schedule of the current operating expenses.
Does the lease specify that the tenant pay a pro rata share of these expenses or does the tenant pay increases in expenses over a base year? Clarification is important.
Watch out for items such as management fees, insurance, structural repairs, replacement of a/c and heating units, being included in CAM.
Check out the condition of the property before you are legally bound to make these improvements to a property that is not in good condition at the time of lease negotiations.
2. Real Estate Taxes - What to look for---
Does the property's current assessed value reflect all recent improvements, or will the property be reassessed because of a change in ownership?
If the property is sold to a third party during the term of the lease will the tenant be responsible for an increase in taxes due to the sale of the property? Are the real estate taxes paid by the tenant based on increases above the base year of the lease or are they calculated on a pro tata share of the taxes?
Understanding and addressing these issues before signing the lease is of utmost importance.

In this article, we will discuss a specific method of Library management, which has already been discussed in relevant forums but has not been discussed here. It is about combining several Sound Libraries into one to make room for other Libraries.
The capacity utilization of the Sample Memory may still be below the memory limit. So there would be more space available for additional Sound Libraries. However, since the Libraries 1 - 8 were already used, only one other Soundset could be loaded into the User Bank. But the User Bank should be better kept for temporary actions or individual compilations. So, if you are able to merge some Libraries, you would regain space for additional Libraries.
If all Performances are selected in the Library Import display with "Select All", a complete Library including all Performances, User Waveforms, and User Arpeggios is copied into the User Bank. Only the Live Sets contained in the Library are not taken into account.
Thus, with Library Import, complete Soundsets can be copied to the User Bank and subsequently stored as a new USER File and LIBRARY File. This makes sense if you want to combine several Libraries (Soundsets) into a new Library. The prerequisite is that the combined Libraries contain no more than 256 User Arpeggios in total and that the available Sample Memory is sufficient.
In order to ensure that the original order of the Performances of the Libraries is preserved, certain steps are necessary, which are shown here as examples using the EASY SOUNDS Library "Xtasyn".
• Load the Library File "Xtasyn.X7L" into the MONTAGE. You'll see performances organized by default order, which is not by Name.
• Select UTILITY - Contents - Library Import. You can see that the Performances are suddenly, sorted by name, which is not their default order.
• Tap on "Date" to the right of "Name". Still, they are sorted by name.
• Tap on "Date". The sorting changes and now corresponds in principle to the original sorting of the Library. However, the Performances are not shown in rows, but in columns. The first four Performances "XtaSyn", "Fifth Dance", "SpaceLine", and "Tears 4U" are in the first column, the second column begins with "Fairyland".
• Tap on "Select All". All Performances of the Library are marked with a check mark.
• Tap "Import to User Bank" and confirm with "Import - Yes".
• The Import process starts and takes a few minutes because of the Samples contained in the Library.
• After successfully completing the Library Import, you can see in CategorySearch (Main = all, Sort = Default) that the Performances appear in the User Bank in their original order.
The above example showed the steps to completely copy a Library to the User Bank while maintaing the original order of Performances.
Now that you understood the procedure of importing a complete Library, you can begin to merge several Libraries using the Library Import function. As mentioned above, however, you should first check whether the maximum number of User Arpeggios is not exceeded. All combined Libraries may not contain more than 256 User Arpeggios.
Here is an overview of the current EASY SOUNDS Libraries and the number of User Arpeggios contained in them:
• Phat Analog = 0 User Arpeggios
• Phat Analog II= 48 User Arpeggios
• Dance Pro= 256 User Arpeggios
• Xtasyn= 182 User Arpeggios
• Nature of Chill= 0 User Arpeggios
• Live Instruments= 256 User Arpeggios
• Live Organ= 244 User Arpeggios
• Organ Session= 0 User Arpeggios
For example, you could make these combinations, in which a Library with User Arpeggios is combined with a Library that contains no User Arpeggios:
• Phat Analog and Phat Analog II = together 48 User Arpeggios
• Live Organ and Organ Session = together 244 User Arpeggios
• Live Instruments and Nature of Chill = together 256 User Arpeggios
It is also possible to combine several Libraries with User Arpeggios if the number of 256 is not exceeded. For example, a combination of "Xtasyn" (182 User Arpeggios) and "Phat Analog II" (48 User Arpeggios) would be possible. Other Libraries without User Arpeggios could be added, if desired. In this case, the maximum number of 640 Performances for a single User or Library File must be considered in addition to the utilisation of the Sample
Memory. Basically, however, you should avoid to pack too much content into a Library, since it can become quite confusing.
If you want to combine two of the Soundsets listed above, you only need to perform the Library Import for one of the two Soundsets, because with the EASY SOUNDS libraries the first File can be loaded directly as a User File.
The steps for a combination of "Phat Analog" and "Phat Analog II" would thus look like this:
• Load the User File PhatAnalog.X7U
• Load the Library File PhatAnalogII.X7L
• Perform the complete Library Import of "PhatAnalogII" using the steps described above
After this procedure, which is executed in a few minutes, both Soundsets are stored together in the User Bank and can be saved as new User and Library Files.
To this end, here's an important hint: In case of later changes, you should always keep the corresponding User File in addition to the Library Files. If you want to change Library Performances, you first have to load the identical User File, make the changes, and save the content as a User and Library File. Finally, the old Library is deleted and the modified Library is re-loaded into the MONTAGE.
After the Library Import the Performances of "Phat Analog II" follow the Performances of Phat Analog in their original order. As with all EASY SOUNDS Libraries, the Multi Part Performances (blue) are stored ahead of the Single Part Performances (green). So if you want to get to the first Performance of Phat Analog II, you have to step through the Category Search Pages until the first Multi Part Performance of Phat Analog II (blue) appears.
If you only want to select the Multi Part Performances (blue) of both Soundsets, select the "Multi" attribute in Category Search.
When all the steps of this particular Library management have been completed, you should use the "Backup File" function (new from Firmware 1.50) to save all Libraries together in one file (UTILITY - Contents - Store / Save - ContentType "Backup File").
I hope that the procedures described are helpful for your daily work with MONTAGE. Have fun and succeed with your Library management!

Are you a strong boss?

Is your team a wild success?
Get feedback. Pay attention. Assume nothing.
The stronger the boss, the more compelling is the need for honest feedback.
Promote honest feedback, listen, and continually improve.

What to do when people stand in the way of your goals
How does it feel when someone stands in the way of your goals? Frustrating? Senseless?
People who stand in your way could have lots of reasons why. Maybe they even are standing in the way on purpose, to slow you down.
Chances are though, that it's not about you, but about your goal. If your goal is ambitious and noble, why would anyone stand in the way? Wouldn't they get behind your efforts once they know how cool and important they are?
It's all about communication. Have the conversation. Let people know about your goals. Get their help. Test your theories with friendly dialogue. You'll learn, you'll grow, and you'll find more influence with people once they have a real chance to discuss your goals -- the good, the bad, and the ugly parts.
Who can you tell about your goal today?

The Latest from qarrtsiluni
If you haven't looked in on qarrtsiluni, which I have been guest co-editing during this month and last, I think we have some very good pieces there at the moment, with some more to come soon. Take a look if you have time. Submissions are still welcome until 15 October. We could particularly do with short fiction (under 1000 words), as that's been thin on the ground, but poems, photos, non-fiction also welcome.

With the economy still having some of the lowest interest rates in recent history, it is a great time to buy because the overall interest payments would be significantly less. In addition, FHA loans are helpful to first time home buyers and offer reduced rates and require less down payments.
Real estate, especially residential housing, are at historically low prices right now, and the markets around the nation are devastated. Any consumer looking to buy a home or condo should jump on any chance they get, right now. It's unlikely that prices will be this low again for a very long time.
Anyone who desires to own a home should go for it. The interest rate for new homes is at its lowest, hovering at around 4 percent. There are many foreclosures to choose from and, if you don't want to risk buying one, new home prices are also at their lowest. You can buy a nice home for much less than you would pay 4 years ago.
I do believe that the weak real estate market has created a lot of opportunities for single families and other first-time home buyers, assuming that those buyers make smart investments and do not repeat the loan mistakes made by the last generation of home buyers.
Home prices are lower right now than they've been in years. But, they are probably close to bottoming out. When the economy starts to pick up again, house prices will go up. Interest rates are also near historic lows, so it is a good idea to lock in a low mortgage rate now. Because of these factors, now is a perfect time to buy a new home.
Although the real estate market for single-family homes is terrible for selling a house, it is the opposite for buying a house. Many homes can be bought at a much lower interest rates than ever before. Many homes are also being sold at a lower price than they were originally bought at. This is the best time to ever buy a home for a resident.
I think that the market has been just right for consumers. The problem I feel we are facing is that the banks who received federal bailout money are not using that money to generate good sound loans. For some reason, it seems as though the banks are sitting on that money and not using it for its intended purpose.
Overbuilding and unsound loan policies have created a marked downturn in the short term value of real estate property throughout the United States. As a result, residential property prices have dropped, and many first-time home buyers can now afford to purchase a home, while still maintaining a steady credit situation and not overstretching themselves financially. This is an ideal time to purchase property, whether as a long-term investment or to provide a secure family home.
Today's residential real estate market is great for getting in cheap, using the home, condo, or co-op to live and selling for a profit. It is a great time to raise a family in an affordable house. When the market upswings and the economy of our nation is back on track, the kids will be grown, and your house has only gained in value!
There is an abundant amount of homes out there on the market. If a buyer can be approved for a loan then they are able to get almost anything that they could ever want in a home, depending on their budget. Even then, a person's budget is just a starting off point and many real estate agencies are willing to negotiate prices just to sell homes that may have been on the market for a long time.
Due to the bursting of the real estate market, home prices are still artificially inflated and improperly high. Despite the numerous foreclosures, home prices still remain higher than their actual values, due to the real estate bubble of the early parts of the decade. More importantly, however, credit markets are virtually frozen, making financing a home extremely difficult for even those with excellent credit. It is a poor time to consider investing in real estate.
There is a glut of residential properties available at very reasonable prices, but the majority are foreclosed properties. The former owners were obviously not in the financial position to properly maintain their homes, and the financial institutions who became the "new" owners aren't doing anything to maintain them. So what is out there are many, many units with busted pipes, mold, insect and rodent infestations. That isn't an ideal market for the consumer who is looking for a home.
The national average unemployment numbers are still horribly high. This does not make buying a new home reasonable to family at this time, due to the risk of unemployment.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - An estimated 10,000 inmates _ about twice the population of a city the size of Adamsville _ are released from Alabama prisons back to their home counties each year. Twenty percent or more return to Jefferson County.
When they return to their communities they need a place to live, a job, transportation, and a doctor to help take care of a chronic health problem.
To address those problems and keep ex-offenders from committing new crimes and returning to prison, the Northern District of Alabama Reentry Council in recent months has targeted more than 25 programs or projects to develop to help inmates quickly re-adjust to life on the outside.
"My hope is that much of the work you all are doing we will be able to package in a form so it can be used in other jurisdictions so they will not have to go through all the hard work that we have done here," U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance said at a recent meeting of the council.
Vance had pulled together the council with members of law enforcement, prisons, probation, and non-profit groups just over a year ago.
One of those new programs is tackling the chronic health problems of ex-offenders.
Ex-offenders often return to their communities with chronic health problems, such as diabetes, with little or no idea where they will get their medicine or medical care.
Beginning early next year a program through the University of Alabama at Birmingham, funded by a national grant, will evaluate chronic health conditions of ex-offenders returning to Jefferson County and help them find the medical care they need.
That program at UAB is one of the sites in the Transitions Clinic network benefitting from a $6.8 million grant from the federal government's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. The City College of San Francisco, in partnership with the University of California San Francisco and Yale University received the grant targeting ex-inmates in Alabama, five other states, and Puerto Rico.
Research shows that recently released inmates have a higher risk of death within two weeks of release, Dr. Nicole Redmond, an assistant professor in the division of preventative medicine at UAB, stated in a prepared response to questions . "The Transitions Clinic model has been shown to increase primary care access and reduce emergency department use," she stated.
The grant will be used to hire a community health worker, who will help the ex-offender locate a doctor and medicine, Redmond said. The physician services are covered through traditional billing of insurance or charity care, such as those provided by free clinics in the area or at Cooper Green, she said.
Redmond said she wants the community health worker to be an ex-offender who has had to deal with chronic health problems themselves and can relate to the ex-offenders. She said she hopes to have that person on board in early 2013.
"So any ex-offender--local, state or federal-- that can be connected to a primary care provider potentially will be eligible," Redmond stated.
Social workers
Another project aimed at helping inmates leaving prisons is a pilot project starting Jan. 13, where as many as three social worker interns from the University of Alabama will be sent to a 300-bed facility at Limestone Correctional Facility where inmates are prepared for release.
Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner Kim Thomas said that each of the state prison system's 26,000 inmates has unique needs. But of the 4,000 prison employees, six are social workers and 29 are re-entry coordinators to work with the 10,000 inmates being released each year, he said.
Thomas said prison officials began meeting in September with University of Alabama officials about the idea of sending interns to work at the Limestone Correctional Facility program. The interns will work alongside the prison social workers to help inmates preparing for release.
The program will help the prison system and inmates, and give valuable experience to the student interns, Thomas said. "We will be potential employers for these social workers," he said.
Project Hope
Another effort, called Project Hope, involved the development of a print and electronic directory of services available to inmates leaving prison and returning to communities in the 31-county area of north Alabama.
Project Hope is a joint effort between the University of North Alabama and The Dannon Project, based in Birmingham.
Kerri Pruitt, executive director of The Dannon Project, said that nearly 12,000 potential resources were identified in the 31 counties. Services cover a wide range of needs, from alcohol and drug abuse, childcare and food, to services for the homeless.
"Alabama is very blessed. We are resource rich," Pruitt said.
Birmingham-based Treatment Alternatives for Safer Communities _ or TASC _ also has gotten two grants aimed at helping ex-offenders who will be returning to Jefferson County.
One of the grants TASC got is a three-year $1.2 million grant from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Administration. "It will provide training for offenders in institutions about how to cope with the challenges they have when they are released back into the community," said TASC Director Foster Cook.
The program directed at inmates at the Bibb and Staton correctional facilities will include risk and needs assessments, Cook said. Those assessments will identify the threats to inmates success when they come back out of prison "so that we can put together an individualized plan for them based on those assessments," he said.
Once they leave prison the grant will help provide case management services, some money for temporary housing, and support services with peer mentors who are ex-offenders.
TASC also has another grant to develop a prisoner re-entry plan for Jefferson County, which will be on file with the U.S. Department of Justice so the county can apply for federal grants in the future, Cook said. That plan will basically pull together in a formal way what has already been done, he said.
"Jefferson County sends more people to prison than any other county (in Alabama)," Cook said.

TGM Substrate Supports (£6.95)
reviewed by James Findley
To my mind these are indipensible in creating a planted tankView this product →
If using stones to support substrate the planting area is compromised and the use of too much stone can appear to be excessive
The small surface area of the supports (about 3mm) in no way compromises either the planting area or the artistic vision for the tank
As allways the most simple of things proves to be one of the most effective

We all know that social sites can drive immense traffic to our blogs and websites, but many bloggers mostly depend on the major sites like twitter, Facebook and linked in, most of web publishers ignore stumble Upon, because it looks like just another bookmarking site, but it's not true, StumbleUpon can give you 2 times more traffic which you are getting from Facebook, I tested this and I found that I was wasting my time in sharing my links on Facebook groups, In my older post you will find how twitter gives me highest referral traffic.
After that I started my work for Stumbleupon, I was using stumble upon but not regularly but from last 3 weeks I am using it on a regular basis, and found big change in my traffic stats.
Now as per my stats I am getting 2nd highest traffic from StumbleUpon, and Facebook is in 3rd place, so you can understand that we waste our most of time on Facebook and Facebook gives less benefits than others.
Read Also : Important Twitter Tips which I learned Last Month
I am going to share some tips by which you can generate huge traffic from StumbleUpon.
Complete your profiles
When you submit a page you get traffic instantly, that's why most of new stumbler thinks that its not compulsory to complete the profile, but it takes only few minutes of you, if you fill up your profile you will get more followers and consideration from others, and if you make everything obscure then you will not get anything.
Be Active
Stumbleupon is just like a social network, and you have to connect with other users to get more benefits, if you are using it just for bookmarking then it will not give you admirable results, so first thing is to be active as much you can, follow other users and always appreciate the work of others.
Submit wonderful Pages
Never submit pages in bulk, if you spam with your links then you will get ignorance from others, so always submit pages at regular intervals, submit only 3,4 pages in a day, and spend the rest of time in surfing the site and networking.
Your content makes you popular on Stumbleupon, and stumble works for you only if you get the likes on your links, one like gives you the guarantee of another page views and more likes means more traffic, which means if you submit one useful link that can give you massive traffic.
Categories Your Link and Create List
When you submit your page, you asked for to choose categories for your link, you can see above Image, also add relevant tags on your page link, then you can add pages, make sure your language is English because non English pages gets less traffic from StumbleUpon.
If you submit your pages properly then you will get lots of visits to your blog and websites, wrong categorization means you are spamming and one unlike on your page can ruin your whole profile.
Use Su.pr
Su.pr is an URL shortner service by StumbleUpon which will make you crazy, when you use Su.pr you will find your traffic from stumble upon increases 3 times which is wonderful, when you tweet your articles or links I will suggest you to set the URL with stumble Upon URL shorter and then tweet, if you use Su.pr shorter your page will have a StumbleUpon toolbar which helps others to stumble your page easily.
More Images More Stumbles
As per my experience, I found that image rich content always gets thousands of stumbles in a few weeks, which means stumblers loves graphics and Images, it means infographics works really well in StumbleUpon and if you have videos and other media elements in your post you will get more response from stumble Upon.
These tips will surely help you to drive traffic to your blog from StumbleUpon, just focus on quality content then you can easily get tons of traffic from StumbleUpon.

Rationale of the Merger
Overview of the Banks History
In 1955 Chase National Bank and the Manhattan Company merged with Chase Manhattan Bank. David Rockefeller, who became Chairman of Chase in 1969, was significantly involved in the merger. By the end of the 1979s Chase evolved to the third largest Bank in the United States (U.S.). In the 80s Chase saw itself confronted with difficulties, which were caused by investments in bad real estate loans. In the year of 1990 Chase suffered from a record loss of $1 billion. The company however managed to regroup and presented a solid balance sheet in the next four years leading to the merger (Gilson and Escalle, 1998). Chemical Banking Corporation was formed in 1824. In 1844 it became the Chemical Bank of New York and eventually completely left the manufacturing business seven years later. During the period from 1946 to 1972 Chemical was able to seriously increase its assets (from $1.35 billion to $15 billion). At the same time Chemical acquired several banks, enabling it to expand into new markets, offer new products and services and therefore diversify (Gilson and Escalle, 1998). Whereas during the financial crisis of 1991 Chemical had to book a loss of $1 billion, Chemical Banking Corporation and Manufacturers Hanover Corporation merged, giving life to the first major bank merge amongst equals (Gilson and Escalle, 1998) in the history of the U.S. . The resulting bank became the second largest bank, in terms of assets, in the U.S. (Gilson and Escalle, 1998). Analysis of the Banking Market
Between 1991 and 1995 U.S. commercial banks increased their net-profit from $20 billion to $80billion. At the same time the industry was marked by several mergers, which led to an increase in the average total value of bank equity acquired in acquisitions per year by over 300%. This trend resulted in a consolidation of the U.S. banking industry, in which a few banks were holding a great deal of total bank assets, for instance the top 50 banks now held 65% of the total assets compared to 53% in 1985 (Gilson and Escalle, 1998). This period of mergers created new competitors. As a result Chemical and Chase were both under pressure to react to the rise in competition for national and international market shares in order to hold their market position. Despite the leading position Chemical had achieved thanks to its merger in 1991, the bank had fallen by late 1994 to fourth place in terms of size (Gilson and Escalle, 1998). Motives behind Merger and Acquisition Transactions
As Brealy and Meyers (2005; pp. 455) mentioned mergers can be divided into different categories: horizontal, vertical or conglomerate. A horizontal merger is defined as a merger between two firms of the same line of business. Hence the merger between Chase and Manhattan would clearly belong to this category as they both are commercial banks. In contrast a vertical merger takes place between companies in different stages of product (Brealy and Meyers, 2005) and conglomerates are mergers or...

Since NCS launched in 2011, 75,000 young people have taken part and spent a staggering 1.5million hours working on projects in local communities and helping to change the world around them.
Over the three-week programme teens gradually build their self-confidence, make new friends, learn the value of teamwork and pick up vital skills they don't learn in the classroom – while trying out fun activities and challenges.
This arms teens with the courage and belief that they can make a difference. They get to plan, prepare and carry out a project in their local community to help improve the lives of others. They then spend 30 hours in their community working on that project. Teens get all the support and guidance they need to help them succeed and make that difference.
During the programme, many will spend time with the elderly and as part of their social action project may go on to raise money for shelters that support those less fortunate, renovate public spaces or raise funds and campaign for local charities or issues close to their heart.
Taking part in NCS gives teens the perfect opportunity to try new things, experience living away from home and gain the skills and confidence they need to help prepare them for the world of work or higher education.
NCS programmes take place three times a year - in the spring, summer and autumn. The next programme starts at the end of June so you need to act fast and register now.
"NCS brings communities together through the power of social action. I hope through programmes like NCS and my project imposSible.com, we can nurture a culture of giving and receiving with the vision of a society that values human relationships."
Lily Cole, Actress and Founder of impossible.com
The length of the spring and autumn programmes differs from the summer programme described above. Contact your local provider for further details.
If you think NCS is just what your teen needs to prepare them for their future success, then you need to act quickly – the next NCS programme kicks off in late June and you need to register now.

The Northern Territory government has announced its revamped ministry after Health Minister David Tollner was sacked amid leadership tensions.
Mr Tollner, who reportedly attended a stormy cabinet meeting on Monday at which he threw papers at Chief Minister Terry Mills, was officially dumped from the ministry on Wednesday.
Some in the CLP see Mr Tollner as a source of instability, with the former federal MP challenging Mr Mills in 2010 to head the party.
On Thursday, Mr Mills announced the new-look ministry, which will see former deputy leader Robyn Lambley, who quit that role this week, pick up the health portfolio.
Ms Lambley will also gain Alcohol Policy responsibilities, which has been renamed to include "and rehabilitation" in the title.
Mr Mills will lighten his workload, reducing the number of portfolios he controls from 11 down to six.
The chief minister will still retain some of the key areas including Asian Engagement, Major Projects and Police, Fire and Emergency Services.
In a show that there were no hard feelings after an aborted leadership bid last month from Attorney-General John Elferink, he has been given a promotion.
Mr Elferink will become treasurer, while retaining his roles as Attorney-General and the Justice and Correctional Services portfolio.
Housing Minister Peter Chandler will move to pick up the role as Lands, Planning and the Environment minister.
Influential MP Alison Anderson, who this week reportedly threatened to take a bloc of her fellow CLP parliamentarians and vote as a group, has been handed more portfolios.
In addition to her existing roles for Regional Development and Indigenous Advancement, she will also take on Children and Families, and Women's Policy portfolios.
New deputy leader Willem Westra van Holthe has increased his responsibilities, taking on Public Employment, Trade and Essential Services.
Adam Giles, who is believed to have threatened Mr Mills with a leadership challenge on Wednesday, keeps his existing portfolios in Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government.
Lia Finocchiaro has been added to cabinet and is the new Minister for Sport and Recreation, Racing, Young Territorians, Senior Territorians, and Statehood.
"The reshuffle will allow the government to continue its reform agenda and focus on fixing the financial mess left by the previous Labor government," Mr Mills said in a statement.

Glaja Mayne
Glaja Mayne is nationally renowned for her unique handcrafted handbags bursting with rich fabrics, dazzling jewels, exotic stones, and hand-painted designs emulating her Caribbean roots and art-deco upbringing.
|Handbag Designer Glaja Mayne was born in the beautiful paradise of Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in the tropical oasis of Miami, Florida. As a young child, she was intrigued with colors, fabrics and designing and started making clothes and handbags for herself and friends. This fascination fueled her creativity where she developed her taste for fabrics and appreciation of detail and quality in craftsmanship and most of all her passion to design. She inevitably became one of the most sought after handbag designers in South Florida. Her designs have been featured in Caribbean Beat & MIA magazine.
There was never an age I became interested in fashion. Fashion was born in me. From the first day I could breathe, I recalled being fascinated with all stylish and colorful things. In Jamaica, as a child, I vividly recall running though my grandmother's orchid garden, picking flowers and making a beautiful arrangement in my curly tendrils of hair. I was allowed to be free with expression which allowed me to have an intimate relationship with nature and it's beauties.
As a teen, I would categorize my style as "funky-punky cute." From the genesis of my life, I never really cared what people liked. I searched within and whatever made me feel beautiful I embraced it. I am magical with my dressing and when I feel that way I have succeeded in loving me for me. People often times shunned my eccentricity, but others admired me. Whether it was a shun or admiration - both mattered me none because my style reflects my soul.
Magic, to me, is creating an unprecedented image in your head and bringing that image to life through creation.

Vitamin B6, a water-soluble vitamin, is found in three different natural forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal - all of which are normally found in foods. Humans depend on external sources to cover their vitamin B6 requirements and the pyridoxal 5`-phosphate (PLP) form is of major importance.
Excellent sources of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are chicken, beef liver, pork and veal. Good sources include fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, and herring), nuts (walnuts, peanuts), bread, corn and whole grain cereals. Generally, vegetables and fruits are rather poor sources of vitamin B6.

Dhaka: More than 100 opposition political activists have been jailed in Bangladesh, police said on Monday, as a 36-hour strike over electoral changes shut down much of the country for a second day.
Police said at least 127 opposition supporters have been imprisoned for up to one year since Saturday night, with more than 120 other activists detained amid sporadic violence nationwide.
"Special teams of magistrates working with police have sentenced them to jail terms of between seven days and one year. Three people got one year for damaging vehicles," police spokesman Masud Ahmed said.
There have been 90 on-the-spot convictions in Dhaka since the protests started, with 28 people jailed in the southern port city of Chittagong and nine others in three small district towns, police said.
The worst violence broke out in northern Sirajganj town where police fired rubber bullets and used tear gas to break up hundreds of protesters, leaving around a dozen people injured, said local police inspector Mostafa Harun.
At least nine buses and taxis were set ablaze by protestors and dozens of people were injured, according to police, as small but violent protests broke out in cities across the country.
Police said three senior opposition officials, including an elected parliamentarian, were detained outside their party`s Dhaka headquarters, which have been cordoned off by hundreds of riot police since early Sunday.
On Sunday, police arrested an ex-minister and a former air force chief, who have been charged with torching vehicles and obstructing police work.
More than 9,000 policemen and 3,000 Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) paramilitaries were deployed in Dhaka, as the strike shut shops, businesses and schools and left major roads and highways deserted.
The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its Islamist ally, Jamaat-e-Islami, called the strike to protest against recent changes to the electoral system, which they say unfairly favour the incumbent government.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said last month that a decades-old election system, in which a neutral caretaker government takes over for three months to hold polls, would be scrapped.
Opposition leader Khaleda Zia has said her right-of-centre party will not contest future polls if the caretaker system, which oversaw four successive elections, is abolished.
The system was introduced to guarantee free and fair polls in Bangladesh, which has a long tradition of political violence since its independence in 1971.
The opposition is now threatening a new strike to protest what it calls the "black laws" being used to issue on-the-spot jail terms to their activists, which have also been condemned by local rights groups.
"We are concerned because the convicts have got no chance to defend themselves. It can lead to indiscriminate convictions of innocent people," Sultana Kamal, executive director of local rights group ASK said.

Omved Sheetkriya Cooling Scalp Oil 125 ml
Rs. 490.00
"The classical formulation of the Sheetkriya Thailam Cooling Hair Oil contains a unique formulation of pure sesame oil that penetrates deep to nourish hair roots with vital nutrition while medicinal herbs:
* De-stress
* Induce calm and a refreshed mental state
* Relax tired eyes and improve vision.
The exhaustive range of botanicals make this formulation not only an excellent composition for the relaxation of the head but also a powerhouse of nutrition to nourish the hair roots and enhance hair growth. Brahmi/Gotu Kola, a brain tonic, relaxes the nerves, Bala helps to strengthen and add body to the hair while Sandalwood calms the mind and cools the scalp. Regular use of this gentle oil brings complete relaxation to the mind. It can also be very effective to ease headaches and migraines and to induce deep, peaceful and restorative sleep. Wonderful for professionals and students to refresh tired eyes due to intensive reading or high computer usage while also being helpful in improving memory and brain stimulation. Good for massage and especially for Shirodhara and as a head oil.
Benefit : Unlike modern conventional hair products that treat only the superficial outer layer of the hair, Omved's proprietary, classical Ayurvedic formulas not only penetrate the scalp beyond the hair roots but also reach the underlying layers and deliver valuable nutrients. Our Ayurvedic oils are authentic, powerful blends, made strictly according to classical Ayurvedic texts and without compromise from organic, premium quality, wholesome herbs, not herbal extracts (cheaper and shorter manufacturing time). The base oils and herbs are simmered in large copper cauldrons repeatedly for several days (in some cases as many as 101 times). There are no artificial additives, colours or chemicals used in the production of these oils. Not perfumed. Massaging the head with warm, herb-infused Ayurvedic oils nurtures the scalp and hair. Healthy hair reflects a healthy body.
Important Info :
- May stain clothes.
"A proprietary Ayurvedic oil formulation using the classical oils of Brahmi, Chandanadi and Ksheerabala oils as a base. Some of the main herbs are: Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Chandana/sandalwood (santalum album), Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Mustha (Cyprus rotundus), Ushira (Vetiveria zizanoides), Hriberum (Coleus zeylanicus), Saariba (Hemidesmus indicus), Kushta (Saussurea lappa), Ela /cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), Bala (Sida cordifolia), Vibhitaki (Terminalia belerica), Amalika (Emblica officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Lodhra (Symplocos cochinchinensis), infused in a base of pure Gingely oil (Sesamum indicum). No artificial fragrance added. 100% biodegradable formula and easily recyclable packaging. "
Place 15-30 ml of oil in a container and submerge in hot water until oil is warm. You can even warm it in sun light. Never heat oil directly on a flame or in a microwave oven.
1. Part your hair and apply oil all over the scalp.
2. Massage the scalp and hair in a circular motion from root to tip.
3. For maximum effectiveness, leave on for an hour or more to allow the valuable botanicals to be absorbed into the scalp.
4. Rinse off with lukewarm water and wash with an Omved natural hair shampoo that suits your hair type.
Follow up with a conditioner. If not sensitive to the cooling effect on your head, you can apply the oil at night and leave it in until morning. (Sleeping in an air-conditioned room with oiled hair may lead to too much cooling.) Continue this for one to six months and you will see visibly thicker, shinier and healthier hair.

Bed blocking is continuing to plague Lothian hospitals despite national levels falling to their lowest point since 2013, new figures have revealed.
More than 12,000 bed days were taken up in May by elderly patients who were well enough to be sent home or discharged to a care home, making NHS Lothian the worst-performing health board in Scotland.
That was a five per cent increase on the previous month.
Statistics published by ISD Scotland revealed that 226 patients were confined to Lothian hospitals for more than two weeks in May.
This compares with 219 patients at the same time last year, despite major efforts to tackle the problem which takes up vital bed space.
The issue is particularly severe in Edinburgh, where 8523 bed days were lost to bed-blocking in May – an increase of 400 days on the previous month.
The figures were branded "a serious problem" by Lothian Labour MSP Sarah Boyack, who called for proper investment to alleviate the pressure on struggling hospitals.
Ms Boyack said: "Although across Scotland there's been a very small reduction in the levels of delayed discharge, the problem is getting worse in the Lothians. I've raised this issue several times with SNP health ministers because I'm concerned about the capacity of our health and social care services in the Lothians. This is a serious problem which won't go away without investment.
"From GP surgeries to care services, there are huge pressures in the Lothians. We need upfront investment to enable better alternative provision in the community.
"It makes no human or financial sense that people are stuck in hospital when they could be better supported either back at home or in a care home."
The soaring numbers are attributed to a shortage of care home beds and a rising elderly population with complex needs, who cannot be discharged from hospital without effective care packages in place. There are 2854 care home beds in the city, with just 587 provided by the counci.
The news follow reports that elderly care services in the Capital could face budget cuts of £5.7 million this year, just as the city's new health and social care integration joint board met for the first time.
Councillor Ricky Henderson, city leader for health and social care, said: "We currently provide record levels of home care to prevent admission to hospital and help people get home, but more needs to be achieved."
City chiefs teamed up with NHS Lothian in January to create an interim facility at Gylemuir House, which has already taken on 74 hospital patients.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said the government had committed to funding £100m in tackling bed blocking over the next three years.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- The Obama administration will reconsider a federal permit for oceangoing ships that critics say fails to prevent invasive species from entering the Great Lakes, the new chief of the Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.
Lisa Jackson also told officials and activists from the region the administration would honor President Barack Obama's campaign pledge to pump more federal money into Great Lakes restoration, despite the staggering budget deficit.
EPA in December released a general permit for cargo vessels entering the lakes or other U.S. waters from overseas. It includes rules for 26 types of discharges, such as ballast, oily bilge water and "gray water" from showers and sinks.
Breaking with the Bush administration, Jackson said the permit "doesn't begin to address some of the concerns that are out there."
"I don't have an answer for you today but I want to you know that's very much on my radar screen," she said during a meeting of the Great Lakes Commission in Washington, D.C.
Ballast water, which keeps vessels stable in rough seas, is a leading pathway for zebra mussels and other aquatic invaders, which have overwhelmed native species and cost billions in economic damage.
The EPA permit requires vessels heading for U.S. ports with full ballast tanks to exchange the water at least 200 miles from shore. Ships with empty tanks must rinse them with salt water to kill freshwater organisms lurking in residual puddles or sediment.
But those measures already had been required by Canada and the U.S. Coast Guard, and critics say they still could let some invasives get through.
Several environmental groups sued EPA last month, saying the permit did not meet requirements of the Clean Water Act. They want shippers to install systems for sterilizing tanks, which the maritime industry says are being developed but remain unavailable.
Activists praised Jackson's promise to revisit the issue.
"She recognizes what everyone in the Great Lakes knows: the permit was nowhere close to good enough," said Jennifer Nalbone of Great Lakes United, a U.S.-Canadian group.
As a candidate, Obama proposed a $5 billion "down payment" toward implementation of a $20 billion restoration plan released by the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration in 2005.
It includes drinking water and sewage system upgrades, toxic site cleanups, improvements to wetlands and wildlife habitat and continued efforts to keep foreign species out of the lakes.
Jackson said she was optimistic about prospects for progress toward those goals.
"I don't think there's any reason to question the president's continued commitment to the Great Lakes," she said.
Officials expect the region to get nearly $2 billion for wastewater and drinking water system upgrades under the recently enacted stimulus package. Jackson acknowledged more was needed.
"Investment in water infrastructure ha-- Associated presss tremendous payoffs" in improved water quality and job creation, she said.
Jackson also promised to seek more money for removing toxic sediments from highly polluted harbors and rivers across the region.
The House authorized boosting the program's budget from $54 million to $150 million last fall. But the bill died in the Senate after EPA turned against it.
"The EPA under the previous administration took the position that current funding was sufficient and they were content to move cautiously," Michigan Lt. Gov. John Cherry said. "It sounds like Administrator Jackson is going to be more aggressive."
State officials and activists in Washington to lobby Congress on Great Lakes issues said administration support should help the region hold its own amid fierce competition for federal dollars.
"It's our sense the Great Lakes are a priority for them," said Jeff Skelding, director of the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition.

Series: ISPRS Book Series in Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences Volume: 11
450 pages, 30 plates with 80 colour photos and colour illustrations; colour photos, colour illustrations, tables
Satellite imagery and data are widely used in public health surveillance to provide early warning of disease outbreaks and for averting pandemics. Convergence of these technologies began in the 1970s and has gained wide acceptance in the 21st Century.
Environmental Tracking for Public Health Surveillance focuses on the expanding use of satellite sensor imagery and long-term spectral measurements for assessing and modelling Earth's environments in context of public health surveillance. It addresses vector-borne, air-borne, water-borne, and zoonotic diseases, and explores analytical methods for forecasting environmental conditions and their potential for consequent disease outbreaks. Infectious and contagious diseases are of particular interest in Environmental Tracking for Public Health Surveillance because once parasite-vector-human host pathways are triggered by favourable biological circumstances, pandemic diseases can spread to global scale in a matter of hours. The chapters advance readers through three sets of material. Part I reviews the 1970-2012 history of satellite Earth-science surveillance technology that led to linking natural environments to human diseases, and more generally to public health applications. Part II describes specific infectious and contagious diseases and the threat of emerging and re-emerging diseases. Part III explores the kinds of satellite data, modelling, and electronic information systems being developed to expedite health intercessions and responses at local to regional and global scales of reference. Equally important are the extensive reference sections for chapters in Parts II and III. For readers interested in tracking the development of Earth-science technology, these constitute a thorough entrée to both the health and environmental literature.
The chapters are written jointly by experts in both the health and Earth-science technologies. Each chapter is accompanied by an extensive list of citations to provide background and validation of the current state-of-the-art for a variety of high-interest human diseases and associated health and well-being issues. The importance of day-to-day weather patterns, the impacts of severe weather events and longer-term climate cycles form the basis for developing information systems that meet goals and expectations of national and international health monitoring bodies.
Environmental Tracking for Public Health Surveillance provides a state-of-the-art overview on how environmental tracking data from satellite, airborne, and ground-based sensors are being integrated into appropriate geophysical and spatial information system models to enhance public health surveillance and decision-making from local to global levels, and is intended primarily for a cross-disciplinary professional audience consisting of public health decision-makers, spatial data analysts, modelers, Earth observation specialists, and medical researchers.
