Priyanka's 'Baywatch' and Deepika's 'xXx 3' latest posters out!
| Updated On: 2016-11-01T14:43:34+05:30 | Location :
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is slated for release on January 20 and Baywatch is scheduled to release on May 19
Bollywood leading ladies Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra have been scaling heights with their Hollywood presence. In the latest appearance, the gorgeous ladies have turned up the heat with their sizzling and power-packed performance.
Deepika Padukone makes her Hollywood debut with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage and, unmistakably, the movie is keeping everyone on their toes. Adding to the excitement after the first trailer, the filmmakers have brought in another notch of awesomeness with the latest trailer and posters.
The latest action-packed trailer gives hints and hopes for the hot-power duo of Vin Diesel and Deepika Padukone. The film stars Vin Diesel as the eponymous Xander Cage. The makers have now unveiled new posters for each and every cast member of the much-awaited film. Even though all the cast members have their personal trailers, too, the love and the real action lies in Deepika and her marvelous action sequence.
The individual posters introduce the viewers to all the characters and create buzz with their strengths which will be revealed fully in the highly-anticipated film. The powerful posters of Deepika brandishes her with a gun on two separate occasions. She is set to play Serena Unger.
In the second trailer, she is again seen doing breathtaking stunts, pointing knives and firearms at Vin Diesel himself but the best part are the one liners exchanged between Padukone and Diesel.
It can be expected from the trailer that Deepika is part of Vin's team which has been brought together to save the world. The interesting aspect also is international football star Neymar Jr, even though only in a cameo performance.
On the other hand, taking Hollywood by storm with spectacular performance in the American TV series Quantico, Priyanka Chopra is ready to surprise everyone with her Hollywood debut film Baywatch. The movie sees her as an out-and-out baddie and the challenge of playing villain in a debut film is fairly risky.
Priyanka Chopra, lovingly called PeeCee, herself released the poster in Halloween avtaar on Twitter. The stunning beauty bated the look of Halloween keeping in mind the festive excitement, with a tweet that read "I'm watching you... #BooWatch #BeBad @baywatchmovie happy Halloween everyone !!"

The sex appeal of Chopra combined with her hotness has fans going gaga over her. The villainous confidence she emits in her performance is just the added cherry on top.
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is directed by DJ Caruso and also stars Ruby Rose, Nina Dobrev, Donnie Yen, Samuel L Jackson and Toni Collette, among others. It is scheduled for a January 20 release.
Baywatch is an upcoming American action comedy film directed by Seth Gordon, based on the television series of the same name. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Alexandra Daddario among others. The film is set to be released by Paramount Pictures on May 19, 2017.

I had some help this evening from a few sources, Les my husband hung out and gave me moral support and Delilah added commedy to the evening by crawling into the bag that had the pet toys in it– that need to be wrapped. Yes I bought all the fur babies a gift. I believe those are the only things I have left to wrapped–I started to but Les reminded me that the pets were in the room and didn't want them to see their toys. Ok that makes me look not so furbaby crazy. Thanks for taking some heat off me hun xo.
It's too bad my Man has to work 12hr day shifts over the holidays we were going to try to arrange it so he would be here when the kids celebrate. The thought though of the kids not being able to wake up Christmas morning and not being able to open their presents till 7pm that evening was not very practical. Tomorrow morning they can open some presents and then in the eve they will put out their stockings and milk and cookies for Santa. I'll be there in the morning taking tons of pictures. I think what I'll do is keep one big present for each them back so they can open that when Dad gets home.
We went to church today but forgot to light the advent candle tonight. Some how though with Les working it all seem off kilter and un seasonal. Plus my teenager is not up till the 27th which also makes it seem a bit un Christmas like.
We bought Evamae a beautiful new dress she'll wear to church Christmas evening. It's a beautiful light blue and very fancy–she loves it!

Donegal Ice Road Trekkers give €30k to charities
Three Donegal men who drove and an incredible 1,000 miles through Alaska to the frozen arctic ocean 350 miles north of the arctic circle, have presented nearly €30,000 to local charities.
Denis Ferry, Les O'Donnell and Paul Doherty raised €29,622.51 through their phenomenal initiative.
Speaking on their behalf, Paul told the Donegal Democrat: "We would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and/or gave a donation as without them this wouldn't have been possible. We set out with the intention of raising money from local people for local charities and to raise €29,622.51 is fantastic so once more, Thank You."
The Donegal Hospice, Letterkenny General Hospital Pulmonary Care Patient Fund and Cairde Le Cheile each received €9,874.17.
Rumour has it the logistics are already being put into place for the three local trekkers to drive another one of the world's most dangerous road in Bolivia.
There, the temperature averages +36 degrees rather than the -36 degrees like it was inside the arctic circle!

Proposed Corporate Governance Code Issued - Irish Funds Industry
Over the course of the last year, the Central Bank of Ireland (the "Central Bank") has sought to publish corporate governance guidelines across a range of sectors of the Irish financial services industry. Included in this initiative has been the move by the Central Bank to call for a set of guidelines specifically for the funds industry in Ireland.
The responsibility for developing these guidelines was placed on the industry itself and taken on by a representative steering group from within the Irish Funds Industry Association (the "IFIA"). The Central Bank has remained centrally involved throughout the process.
A draft set of guidelines has now been formulated and published for industry consultation. This represents an industry proposal that has the support of the Central Bank. This draft Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") can be accessed by clicking here.
Some of the main points addressed in the Code are as follows:
- It is voluntary, best practice guide. However, any non-adherence by an investment fund/management company is to be explained in the annual report and may cause the investment fund/management company to come under the close scrutiny of the Central Bank.
- The proposal does not include a hard limit on the number of fund directorships an individual can hold; rather it requires that each director has sufficient time to devote to the role.
- There is a rebuttable presumption that no more than eight non-fund directorships may be held.
- The requirement for two Irish resident directors remains.
- Some new requirements are proposed, including: a minimum of three directors per board; each board to be represented by at least one independent director; each board to appoint a chairman.
- Investment funds and management companies shall have a transitional period of 12 months from 1 September 2011 to adopt the Code.
It is anticipated that an agreed version of the Code will be available at the end of July 2011, and be adopted by the industry by 1 September 2011. For further information, please contact Barry McGrath or Stephen Carty.

BWW TV Exclusive: Inside PHOENIX's Post-Show Talkback with Julia Stiles, James Wirt & Jennifer Delia
Scott Organ's dark romantic comedy Phoenix, directed by Jennifer DeLia and starring Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Julia Stiles and James Wirt recently opened at the Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street), where it plays a limited engagement through Saturday, August 23. Julia, James and Jennifer just took past in a special post-show talkback with IMPACT Theatre Group, and BroadwayWorld brings you exclusive highlights from inside the event below!
When Bruce (James Wirt) and Sue (Julia Stiles) meet four weeks after an uncharacteristic one-night-stand, Sue has this to say to him: one, I had a great time with you that night and two, let's never see each other again. Thus begins a 4,000 mile journey well beyond the confines of their carefully structured worlds. Bruce is fueled by an overwhelming but undefined compulsion to join her inPhoenix. Sue is reluctantly charmed by his persistence, but steadfast in her resolve to keep him at bay. Both are forced to consider a whole new world of possibility, though not one free of difficulty and loss.Phoenix is a one-act dark romantic comedy.
PHOENIX premiered at the 34th Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actor's Theatre of Louisville on March 5, 2010, and received its Off-Broadway premiere produced by The Barrow GroupTheatre Company on April 10, 2010.

Donna Robb's Chicken Noodle Soup
Boil 4 chicken breasts until done in a stock pot.
Make noodles as soon as you start your chicken so they have time to dry. This is the recipe I used.
Once you set them to dry, then continue.
Remove schmaltz from top.
Remove chicken, keep liquid, put in colander and run cold water over until you can safely handle. Dice, tear or shred into bite size pieces. Return to pot.
Dice medium yellow onion, add to pot.
Peel and dice 2 carrots add to pot.
If you like add one bay leaf but remove before adding noodles as you don't want to eat it.
Add two or more boxes of liquid chicken broth or stock. I like reduced sodium. It will still be plenty salty to help sore throats if you have them.
You want plenty of liquid as the noodles will soak most of it up.
I also pepper heavily with fresh ground pepper and add a bit of garlic powder, oregano and several dashes of Tabasco sauce. A little Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning is good too if you can find it, in a little green round container. Sorry I don't measure anything. I would say pepper to taste. Garlic powder I cover the top of the broth four times. Oregano probably twelve shakes. Tabasco 12-16 shakes (too taste). Tony Chachere's cover pot four times (it's not spicy hot). 1 or 2 bay leaves if you like.
Cook until carrots are nearly done.
At this point you want to start your noodles. If you don't want them soaking up all your liquid, cook them in a big pot of boiling salt water separately.
If you like mostly noodle, noodle soup, cook in your soup pot. Note, these noodles expand so roll them thin and cut them narrow, and it's still hard to find the chicken, carrots and onions.
When I rolled out the dough, it was hard to get it thin, so I grabbed it by the top when it was in a circle and let the weight of it stretch it out like a pizza dough. Pull on it to help. Then when it's thinner continue with your rolling pin. It's a very dry dough so it's tougher to roll out, but you want it to stay dry. Since it's fresh pasta, it doesn't take too long to cook after you dry it for twenty minutes. I rolled it up and used a sharp knife to cut it. A pizza roller would do the trick too. I think it only took about 7-9 minutes for the noodles to be done.
After the noodles are cooked add to the soup and enjoy!

After a well spent day exploring the wildlife diaries of Lipa Asrang Sanctuary, I was very much content. I knew there are more places which I wanted to explore in Kinnaur, and so I decided to stay back. I quickly took the help of a local guide and booked a nice budget hotel.
The hotel was small but it had enough amenities to make my stay comfortable. However, I couldn't forget my stay at Toshali Royal View Resort, Shimla. This resort was one of the best getaways after a hectic and long journey. Located at the center of Shimla, Chail and Kufri, this resort is amidst the beautiful nature, enveloped in lush greenery. The best part is that it's away from the crowded city and offers the best amenities for utter relaxation.
As soon as I entered the resort I was greeted cordially by the staff. The room was well equipped with amenities. My room had large window panes and as soon as I peeped out of my window I could see the beautiful valley. I really felt like I was resting in the lap of nature which made my stay unforgettable. As soon as I was all settled in the resort, I decided to explore it. The resort was a perfect package for an enjoyable stay which included a swimming pool, health club, sauna bath, gaming room and also a discotheque.
Most importantly, the feature that caught my eye was that the resort provided adventurous activities like mountain trekking and biking along with sightseeing. I was more interested in mountain trekking and so I made a booking right away. Then I went ahead enjoyed some foot tapping music at the discotheque and enjoyed the mouth watering cuisine at the restaurant.
So, the plan for the next morning was fixed and as planned I woke up early. I took a quick dip in the swimming pool and went for a nice morning walk and believe me it was truly refreshing. I then went for the much awaited adventure – the trekking. It was so revitalizing and gave me the prefect adrenaline rush which I was waiting for a long time.

Meet Munchkin – the teddy bear puppy! I was first exposed to this cute "Furball" on Youtube when my sister first showed me the video of him walking on a treadmill. At first I thought… Hey that's an Ewok… but quickly saw that gag…the costume. And I smiled.
So one of my first thoughts were, "Hey is that responsible dog ownership…dressing your little guy up in an Ewok costume?". Apparently some think it's not and have blasted social media with all kinds of animal abuse claims and such. I did check out the comments from the people who shot the video and they said, "No overheating or her, the A/C was on and she walked at a slow pace for a short time. Plus her suit is thin/light and only covers the front of her not her whole body." So sounds like they are on top of it.
Would you dress your dog up like this? The jury is out in this house-hold. My kids keep asking me to put silly things on our little dog (Bear) but I'm the mean Mom I guess! Who knows maybe someday I'll make a cute Ewok costume or perhaps a unicorn outfit!
Don't forget to SHARE this insanely cute video with all your Facebook buddies! Why should they miss out on this little teddy's awesomeness!

HONG KONG (AFP) - Most Asian markets edged higher Tuesday, enjoying a slight recovery after the previous day's rout, with Greece just hours away from default, while Shanghai ended flat after another highly volatile morning.
The euro edged down and analysts warned of sharp movements this week as Greece prepares for a Sunday referendum on creditors' bailout reform proposals, which European chiefs say boils down to a vote on whether the nation wants to stay in the eurozone.
Tokyo rose 0.27 per cent in the afternoon, Hong Kong climbed 1.21 per cent by lunch and Seoul put on 0.20 per cent. However, Sydney was flat in late trade.
Shanghai continued to face heavy selling pressure, more than five percent at one point - extending more than 20 per cent losses from a June 12 peak - before clawing back to end barely changed. Shenzhen lost 2.16 per cent, having sunk more than six percent earlier With talks between Athens' leaders and creditors now completely broken down after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called the July 5 plebiscite, Greece is widely expected to miss its payment to the IMF due later Tuesday.
"(How) is it possible the creditors are waiting for the IMF payment while our banks are being suffocated?" Tsipras said in a late-evening interview on ERT television in Greece.
Failure to pay will leave the country in default, which could lead to it leaving the eurozone. However, top European leaders including Germany's Angela Merkel, France's Francois Hollande and Italy's Matteo Renzi called on the Greek people to vote for the creditors' proposals.
"A 'No' would mean, regardless of the question posed, that Greece had said no to Europe," said EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker, previously Tsipras's closest - and sometimes only - ally in five months of debt talks.
The decision to push ahead with the vote led Standard & Poor's rating agency to downgrade Greece's credit rating deeper into junk territory, saying it was now closer to default.
The crisis sent markets tumbling across Europe and in New York.
The euro ended Monday higher but edged down on Tuesday.
It bought US$1.1192 and 136.90 yen in Asia, against US$1.1247 and 137.82 yen in New York.
"Right now the biggest surprise is that the euro is not materially weaker," Matthew Sherwood, head of investment markets research in Sydney at Perpetual Ltd, which manages about US$21 billion, wrote to clients.
"Market expectations are that the Greek situation is manageable even if they exit the union," he said, according to Bloomberg News.
The dollar edged up to 122.33 yen from 122.55 yen.
In Shanghai dealers bought on the dip after heavy morning selling. The index had run up gains of 150 percent in the year to June 12, with profit-takers moving in and after authorities tightened rules on margin trading, in which dealers borrow cash to invest.
The market lost more than three per cent Monday, putting it in a bear market and economists warned of further losses as retail investors cash in and the margin trades are called in.
The losses have also come despite China's central bank at the weekend cutting interest rates for the fourth time since November and also lowering the amount of cash lenders must keep in reserve.
"The correction in the market made investors rather nervous," said Gerry Alfonso, a director at Shenwan Hongyuan Group Co. in Shanghai.
"Margin lending remains a significant issue and it is unavoidable to have volatility, even with the supporting measures."


text: Most U.S. Companies Planning Moderate Pay Raises for 2014, Towers Watson Survey Finds Star performers earn 75% larger raises than average performers September 19, 2013 | United States Save Save Save this. Log in to access this feature. Saved Added to Saved Content. Remove NEW YORK, September 19, 2013 — A mixed bag of news regarding pay raises awaits U.S. workers. A new survey by global professional services company Towers Watson (NYSE, NASDAQ:TW) shows that most U.S. employers are planning to give workers a raise next year, but the increases will be only slightly larger than those in the past couple of years. The survey also shows it pays to be a "star" performer, with those workers receiving raises that are more than 75% greater than pay hikes for average performers. The survey of 910 U.S. companies conducted by Towers Watson Data Services found that only 4% of respondents are not planning to give salary increases next year — the same percentage of companies that did not give raises this year, but far fewer than the 75% that froze salaries during the economic crisis in 2008. According to the survey, companies are planning pay increases that will average 2.9% in 2014 for their salaried nonmanagement employees. That is slightly larger than the 2.8% average raise workers received this year and in 2012. Similar raises are also planned for executives and nonexempt employees. "With the job market remaining relatively soft, most companies aren't feeling pressure to raise salaries by much more than the rate of inflation," said Laura Sejen, global practice leader for Rewards at Towers Watson. "And the rising cost of health care doesn't leave companies with much in their total rewards budget for pay raises. Still, pay remains one of the most important factors when an employee considers joining or remaining with a company, so employers need to be cognizant that they potentially risk losing employees if their compensation programs aren't in sync with competitive market practice." Raises for Stars Outpace Raises for Average Performers by 75% According to the survey, exempt workers who received the highest performance ratings were granted an average salary increase of 4.6% this year, more than 75% greater than the 2.6% increase given to those workers receiving an average rating. Workers with below-average performance ratings received an average merit increase of 1.3%. "Some employers continue to struggle with how to distinguish appropriate compensation for top-, average- and poor-performing employees," noted Sejen. In fact, a separate survey by Towers Watson released earlier this month showed that about one-fourth of companies expect to award annual incentive payouts even to employees who fail to meet performance expectations. "Retaining top performers and critical-skill employees is a significant challenge for most U.S. employers, even with the ongoing overall softness in labor markets. As a result, companies are resorting to a variety of reward strategies to make sure these employees don't seek employment elsewhere when the job market heats up. This includes rewarding their best-performing workers with bigger pay raises, large incentive payments, and also one-time discretionary and spot bonuses," said Laurie Bienstock, North America Rewards leader at Towers Watson. the Survey The Towers Watson Data Services Salary Budget Survey was conducted in June and July of 2013, and includes responses from 910 U.S. companies representing a cross section of industries. The survey report provides data on actual salary budget increase percentages for the past and current year, along with projected increases for next year.

Indonesia's constitutional court has ruled the three men convicted in the 2002 Bali bombings and sentenced to death may be executed by firing squad, quashing their claim it is inhumane and against the constitution. VOA correspondent Nancy-Amelia Collins in Jakarta has more.
The constitutional court also dismissed a request by the Bali bombers to be beheaded instead of shot, which their lawyers argue is a more humane method of execution.
The three bombers: Amrozi Nurhasyim, Ali Gufron, and Imam Samudra, have been sentenced to death for the 2002 Bali bombings that claimed the lives of 202 people, many of them foreign tourists.
Presiding judge Mohammad Mahfud says the pain generated by a firing squad is a natural part of the execution process and not torture, as claimed by the bombers' lawyers.
He says there is no justification for the request and that the court has rejected it.
The three bombers, who are part of the regional terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, have exhausted all appeals and are expected to be executed soon.
In an unusual announcement, the attorney general said he will give more details about the timing of the executions, this Friday.
Indonesia carries out executions by firing squad, usually late at night and without giving prior notice to the public.
A lawyer for the bombers, Wirawan Adnan, says he will respect the court's decision.
"We have to respect the decision. This is because this is a highly respected court and we have to respect the decision," Wirawan said. "We do have our disappointment. But, with that being said, we still respect the constitution and again this is our petition for the constitution, not necessarily for Amrozi, it's for the interest of the constitution."
The three Bali bombers vow their followers will avenge their execution, but most terrorist experts agree Jemaah Islamiyah is no longer capable of launching major terrorist attacks.
Also on Tuesday, police raided a house in Jakarta seizing weapons and bomb-making materials from the site, but did not give further details.

RDF - Energy - Waste to Energy
RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) is made from domestic waste which includes biodegradable material as well as plastics, and has a lower calorific value than SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel). RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) is used in combined heat and power facilities, many of them in Europe where they produce electricity and hot water for communal heating systems in the local area. Compared to landfilling, the lower carbon emissions resulting from RDF manufacture outweigh the emissions associated with transporting the reclaimed fuel. The increasing importance of Waste to Energy/RDF Waste to energy conversion is an increasingly recognised approach to resolving two issues: waste management and sustainable energy. Waste represents an increasingly important fuel source. Using waste as fuel can have important environmental benefits. It can not only provide a safe and cost-effective way of waste disposal but can also help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. https://the-mkgroup.com/portfolio/rdf-manufacture/

Welcome back to "Top Chef: Just Desserts." What did I miss? Oh right, Seth and his talking neck growth had a panic attack that looked more like paralytic psychosis and couldn't compete anymore. Then Malika recused herself because she had a conflict between the competition and her lack of personality. I would say we will miss you, but it seems mean when the only thing we will miss is mocking you while you cried over frosting. Anyway, Head Bandage Heather got to come back but almost got sent home again for baking tragedy into every bite. So when Malika left, HBH breathed a tiny sigh of sorrow tinged with relief, because she kind of wanted to go home, too, but didn't want to face the double down embarrassment of getting kicked off the show twice in a row. But alas, ennui go.
In case you didn't think this was a real competition, the judges kicked it up a notch in today's Quick Fire. Or at least they want you to think that they kicked it up a notch. You see, today they are making *shudder* souffl�s for Sherry Yard. In case the word alone does not send shivers running up and down your spine, each of the competitors gets a minute to explain why they are afeared of the souffl�. It must be whipped! And beaten! And removed aquiver from the oven as if it was a chicken who cruelly had all the bones removed. Zac announces that he doesn't even like souffl� because it is too light and airy. Morgan chimes in that "souffl�" actually means light and airy. Regardless of semantics, Zac is making a frozen souffl� a.k.a. a souffl� glace. Erika made a very white souffl�, while Heather namechecked Godiva chocolate so she should totally win. Yigit makes souffl� for his boyfriend, Morgan does not make souffl� for his son on Sundays, but does teach the class on souffl� at Cowboy State.
The guest judge chooses her least favorite first: Zac's frozen souffl� was not actually a souffl� and the guest judge noticed that, Heather's souffl� was no unicorn (no really, the guest judge said it) …

The style works, period. Kim Kardashian has shown time and time again which the girl may rock and roll the sting bikini, and also this girl nevertheless can easily : even while expectant. The lady offers a few fantastic shape, with or without kid, no? In some way, Kimmy is able to appear even warmer the particular much less the girl would wear!

Some notable positives and negatives to come out of the NHL season's first full week of action:
Plus side
• Think about the Islanders at the end of last season and you see their best player, John Tavares, on crutches after being hurt at the Sochi Olympics. It was a sort of microcosm of the team, which missed the postseason after a year of promise that ended with a respectable six-game loss to the Penguins in the 2013 playoffs. Now, in a huge year for a franchise that is about to move to Brooklyn, Tavares leads the NHL with seven assists and nine points. His winning goal in the shootout against San Jose on Thursday night, outwaiting Sharks goalie Alex Stalock, lifted the Isles to a 4-0 mark to start the season.
• Here's a nod to Boston forward Simon Gagne, who on Thursday night scored his first goal since April 23, 2013 -- that one came against his current team, the Bruins -- and the 298th of a career that began when he was a teenager. Since the 2010-11 season, Gagne, now 34, had amassed only 12 in 71 games during several injury-riddled seasons. His tally against Montreal was also a nod to the league's liberalized rules governing pucks that go off skates (good goals) as opposed to pucks that players deliberately kick into the net (disallowed goals). This is a good change. And it's a good change, too, to see Gagne back and healthy again.
• How tall is Canadiens winger Brendan Gallagher? Is it 5-foot-9 or 6-9? On Thursday night, he was seen nudging and shoving Boston's towering Zdeno Chara in order to get in position to deflect Alexei Emelin's shot from the point behind Bruins' goalie Tuukka Rask. Gallagher also went to the net to cash in a rebound by outmuscling defenseman Dougie Hamilton to the goalmouth. Everyone should play that big.
• Darcy Kuemper finally let one in on Friday night, but he's been a rock for a Minnesota team that didn't know how it was going to solve its goaltending puzzle. In his first two games this season, a 5-0 win against the Avalanche on Oct. 9 and a 3-0 shutout against Colorado two nights later, Kuemper stopped all 46 shots he faced. With teammate Josh Harding down indefinitely with a broken foot, the Wild will ride Kuemper as much as possible and likely be pretty well off.
• Welcome back Rick Nash. The Rangers forward seems to have rediscovered the scoring touch he misplaced during last spring's playoffs. New York managed to get to the Stanley Cup Final despite the fact that Nash, a seven-time 30-goal scorer, couldn't find the net. Nash was getting chances and shooting. He led all players during the postseason with 83 shots, yet only produced three goals in 25 games. In his first five contests this season, he put in six goals to lead the NHL. The Rangers may be struggling, but Nash is not the reason why. However ...
• Rick Nash sets Rangers mark with season-opening scoring streak
Minus side
• The Rangers' official Twitter account recently quoted head coach Alain Vigneault as saying the team is committing "way too many turnovers" and his veteran defensemen "need to play better." That's just the homogenized, watered down official team tweet. Imagine the bad stuff. While allowing 20 goals in their first five games, the Rangers have been awful on the back line. Sure, new defenseman Dan Boyle is missing time with a broken hand and his replacement Mike Kostka has been generous with the puck in his own zone, particularly to the rival Islanders. But in fact none of the Ranger regulars -- Dan Girardi, Mark Staal or new captain Ryan McDonagh -- has been up to the task. New York dropped seven of its first 10 games last season, thanks in part to a lengthy early-season road trip and a new coach's defensive scheme and still managed to reach the Cup final, but any hopes of a good start this season seem to have disappeared.
• There were thousands of fans masquerading as empty seats at the Panthers game against Ottawa on Tuesday night, when an announced crowd of 7,311 watched,or maybe averted some eyes, as the team lost to Ottawa 1-0. This could get worse before it gets better in Florida, where there isn't much to cheer for except the bright futures forecasted for defenseman Aaron Ekblad and winger Jonathan Huberdeau. By the time Ekblad, the No. 1 pick in last spring's draft, matures, the team could be based somewhere in Canada. Florida has scored three goals in its first three games, and the offensively thin Panthers aren't likely to get much better as the season progresses. Goalie Roberto Luongo will long for his days in Vancouver when things were merely difficult.
• Panthers' attendance woes no laughing matter; more notesBen Scrivens
• Stephen Weiss is in the second season of a contract that will pay him $24.5 million over five years, but that won't guarantee him a place in the Red Wings' lineup. Detroit originally picked up the four-time 20-goal scorer in the hope that he could give the team enough depth to allow Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk to play together on the top line. But Weiss managed to squeeze out only two goals in 26 games after joining the Wings late last season and he was a healthy scratch in the team's first three games of 2014-15, making his contract and future look rather unhealthy.
• The Maple Leafs still have high hopes for Jake Gardiner, Anaheim's first pick in the 2008 draft. Gardiner played in 80 games last season and played well in many of them, picking up 10 goals and improving his defensive play, minus some hiccups, as the season progressed. But after posting a -3 rating in Toronto's first two games, losses to Montreal and Pittsburgh, he sat for the next two, victories against the Rangers and Avalanche. Gardiner, 24, is not a very physical defenseman, but he has some skills that he'll need to put to better use for a team that is screaming for consistency and dependable play.

If your dental professional identifies specific spots in your mouth that need more attention due to plaque buildup, gum recession or another issue, FlexCare Platinum Connected can help you tackle those trouble areas. You can highlight these spots in your personalized mouthmap within the Sonicare app, reminding you to give them the extra care they need each time you brush.
Always know the effectiveness of your brush head
Over months of normal use, brush heads gradually wear down and lose their stiffness. The Sonicare app includes a smart brush head performance monitor to track your brush head effectiveness based on your actual brushing time and pressure. It tells you when to replace your brush head so you continue to get the best results. You even have the option to order replacement brush heads right from within the app.
A customized brushing experience
With three intensity settings and three cleaning modes, FlexCare Platinum Connected offers optimal comfort with a truly deep clean. Use Clean mode for a superb everyday clean, or White mode for stain removal. If you need to pay extra attention to trouble spots, Deep Clean mode delivers exceptional results. Set the intensity to Low, Medium or High according to your personal preference. Set the intensity level to high for best results.
Contours to teeth and gums for a deeper clean
AdaptiveClean is the only power toothbrush head that can follow the unique shape of your teeth and gums. With soft flexible sides made of rubber, this brush head can follow every curve. It offers up to 10x more plaque removal than a manual toothbrush. As it tracks along the gum line, the brush head absorbs excessive brushing pressure, so you can be gentle on gums however you brush.
Timer helps encourage thorough brushing
The BrushPacer interval timer indicates when it's time for you to move to another segment of your mouth, while the Smartimer helps you reach the dentist professional recommended brushing time of two minutes. Together, they set the pace for a successful brushing session.
Dynamic cleaning action for better oral health
At 31,000 strokes per minute, Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected delivers a superior clean that you'll both see and feel. The dynamic cleaning action of our sonic technology drives fluid deep between teeth and along the gum line. As your FlexCare Platinum Connected brush gently massages the gums, it stimulates blood circulation and helps to dislodge plaque.

May 2016
When I was a kid I used to think that one day I would eventually lose my hair. That one day I would have to wear a wig before I go out in public. That when I was an adult, I would get a big girl bra with my own silicone breast form so the world would never know I only had one breast.
Breast cancer interweaves itself in and out of my childhood memories. I don't vividly remember the day my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. In fact, I was only four when it happened. Some days I see in my thoughts my mom cheerfully waiting for me on the front school steps where would we walk back home, holding hands, singing songs and picking flowers on our way home. Days where we would walk on the beach, picking up seashells, chasing seagulls and eating ice cream on the pier. Those are the fun memories.
Other times, I recall the distant memories of my brother, family friends or even neighbors picking me up from school. Each day someone different with a new routine. At home I would find my mom lying in bed, her face more tired, pale and less mom-like then I remembered. I recall wanting her to play with me, to run around and pick flowers in the neighborhood. She was too tired to play. Those days I remember missing the fun mom.
I grew up watching my mom brushing and adjusting her wigs to look just right. I still recall the intense questioning I had as I inspected and prodded the silicone breast form when my mom wasn't looking. I remember watching my mom struggle to make the breast form sit properly in her bra.
"Breast cancer will always be a part of our stories."
This year marks the 23rd year anniversary of my mom being a breast cancer survivor. Her brush with cancer over two decades ago has not only shaped her life, but mine as well. Breast cancer will always be a part of our stories. All I have ever known is what it's like to grow up with my mom having one breast.

A major police operation was launched to capture what is believed to be a TIGER on the loose near the Disneyland Paris theme park.
The extraordinary hunt was launched after a woman reported seeing the beast prowling near a supermarket car park in the town of Montevrain, east of the capital.
Police and firefighters armed with tranquilliser guns were soon scrambled to the area, and residents were warned to stay indoors. Officers were posted outside local schools to protect the children inside.
"We have been running after it since this morning, police officers are trying to intercept it," a police source said.
Jean-Baptiste Berdeaux, the owner of the lntermarche supermarket in Montevrain said his wife had spotted the animal at about 8.30am UK time.
She took a photograph with her mobile phone and the picture has subsequently been shared thousands of times on social networks.
Mr Berdeaux said: "She didn't get out of the car and called me to say 'I think I saw a lynx'."
The area where the tiger has been spotted is just 2.5 miles away from Disneyland Paris - which itself is only 20 miles east of the capital.
Police helicopters with thermal cameras were flown over the area in a bid to trace the beast, while experts have warned people NOT to run if they see it.
Frederic Edelstein, head of France's Pinder Circus, said: "In this case, its instinct would be to chase after its prey."
"If you see it coming towards you, make as much noise as you can in order to frighten it. If this doesn't work, you should start waving your arms, but without moving away, or it will only move closer.
"The main worry is that it starts to get hungry. In this case it could attack its prey, be that a dog, a cow or a goat. It is most likely that it will find its way to a farm where its predatory instincts will take over."
Town hall official Cedric Tartaud-Gineste said that a security cordon covering an area about the size of four or five football pitches was set up around a wooded area.
Initial reports suggested the the tiger may have escaped from a circus which has performed in the town at the weekend.
These claims were originally denied by the local authority, which said it had checked the circus on Saturday and there was no tiger within the performing group.
Later in the day, they admitted that the circus may have DUMPED the creature as they left town.
Another theory is that it may have been kept illegally as a pet, while others say it could have come from a nearby big cat zoo.
The Parc des Félins is in Lumigny Nesles-Ormeaux, which is 18 miles away from Montévrain, and is specifically dedicated to the breeding and conservation of wild members of the cat family and does have a number of tigers.
Officials at the park denied this, but said they were supporting the effort to track the animal.
A spokesman said: "There is absolutely no way that the tiger has come from our park, we have very high-level security.
"However, one of our teams is currently on the scene in Montevrain as reinforcement."
A picture later emerged on social networks showing a feline paw print in the mud and experts said it appeared the animal was a teenage tiger, weighing around 23 stone.
However, reports of the size and age of the animal varied wildly throughout the day, going as low as one-and-a-half years old and 11 stone.
Police employed a number of techniques to try and capture the animal, including rigging church bells to stop it from hiding - and bringing in a BEAR HUNTING dog, to track the creature.
Officers brought in a Karelian dog, which comes from northern Europe and is often used to hunt aggressive animals including moose and wild boar.
Later in the day, officers thought they had the animal cornered after using the thermal cameras, but the tiger managed to evade the search and continued on the run.
The search was eventually called off after dark as the efforts of authorities to catch the animal proved fruitless.
The hunt is set to resume at 7am tomorrow morning. For a full recap of the hunt today, click here .

I have the opportunity to buy a minimally used 02 Manomano size small for my wife or 14 yo, whom ever wants to ride with me more often. The price is low enough. I want to know about the suspension set up.
From the websites pics, it has a 4 bar look. Does it use bushings or bearings back there? Anyone have experience servicing/changing them?
It seems like a nice pedigree bike with Hayes mech disc, Zoke EXR 80 Air, Deore drivetrain.
Any comments or input are really appreciated.

Memory + Interfaces
HBM Gen2 PHY
Optimized for the low-latency and high-bandwidth memory applications, the HBM Gen2 PHY delivers maximum performance and flexibility in minimal form factor and power envelope.
How HBM works
HBM is a high-performance memory that features reduced power consumption and a small form factor. It combines 2.5D packaging with a wider interface at a lower clock speed (as compared to DDR4) to deliver higher overall throughput at a higher bandwidth-per-watt efficiency for high-performance computing applications.
The Rambus HBM Gen2 PHY is fully compliant to the JEDEC HBM2 standard and supports data rates up to 2000 Mbps per data pin, resulting in a total bandwidth of 256 GB/s. The interface features 8 independent channels, each containing 128 bits for a total data width of 1024 bits, and support for a stack height of 2, 4 or 8 DRAMs. In addition, the PHY is designed for a 2.5D system with an interposer for routing signals between the DRAM and PHY. This combination of signal density and stacked form factor requires special design consideration. In order to enable easy implementation and improved flexibility of design in such a complex system, Rambus performs complete signal and power integrity analysis on the entire 2.5D system to ensure that all signal, power and thermal requirements are met.

Battling his way through appalling weather, VS Briganti's Rick King left his only breakaway companion Peter Gage (Manx Road Club) at the end of a shortened event over 20 laps of the Hetton Circuit.
Gage and his brother Alan had travelled over on a day-trip from the Isle of Man and were greeted by the worst North East weather seen at the Sunderland circuit in a long time.
Earlier in the day, the Fourths, Juniors and Women's event had suffered worse weather as initial drizzle turned into showers then snow and hail.
Ferryhill Wheeler Tony Fawcett beat three members of a breakaway group to the line after 20 laps, although not before the fourth man of the break, Zeus CRT's Terry Tiffin, had been brought down at the start of the last lap.
Despite the conditions, the early laps of the first event saw several attacks after the sole women entry, Cestria CC's Debbie Hailes, had completed her two-laps advantage.
Harry Venables, John Mabbut and Geoff Milner all saw attempts brought back. Tiffen gave notice of his intentions on the fifth lap as he broke away with Cestria's Paul Tyler, but a lap later they returned to the bunch as the weather worsened and riders huddled together.
Hailes, who had been caught for a lap, promptly sat on the back and let the men tow her round the rain-lashed circuit.
After 11 laps, Tiffen again forced a break, and it was a winning one. With him went Joe Spoor (Berwick Whs) and Fawcett, with Spoors' team-mate Andy Kitchen trailing by a few seconds.
Kitchen was passed by Jonathon Caisley, who joined the leaders and, as the group took the bell, four turned into three as Tiffen was brought down at the start of the finish line drag. Although he remounted, the speed of the trio left him stranded.
A lap later Fawcett turned the finish into a formality as he beat Caisley into second in a close sprint although a lap after Hailes had in effect won the event with a lap to spare.
The decision to shorten the second event met with little opposition as the snow fell vertically. The riders were wrapped up looking more like a club run.
King was undeterred and made his intentions clear as early as the fourth lap when he left the 18-man bunch and was quickly joined by Gage.
As they returned to start the fifth, they were already 15 seconds up the road as 15 turned into 20 which turned into 28 and 35 when Colin Ash and Kevin Brennan attempted to stop the rot.
Two laps later, however, with their gap on the rest never amounting to much, they were brought back.
By now parts of the course were waterlogging badly. As the lead reached a minute, Middridge's Chris Bush went it alone but was also brought back.
King and Gage hardly seemed to notice inch-deep pools of water as the gap went up to 1-36 when VC Azzurri's Steve Kenny, the National ZipVit Champion, took matters into his own hands and chased alone.
Pulling out an encouraging lead, it looked as though Kenny would be the one to change the face of the race, especially as his attempt lasted into his second lap and, while his deficit over the leaders held steady, the bunch lost more time.
After three laps of lone chasing, the race was again in two groups as the Azzurri rider went backwards and left King and Gage to fight it out.
With five to go, Alan Gage joined the long puncture victim list and was forced to walk the half-lap to the finish.
With three to go, Kenny was again chasing, with Ash and Brennan as the leaders' advantage at 2-20 threatened to lap the rest.
Their fate almost became a reality as King, sensing his companion was tiring, attacked with two to go.
Despite holding the Briganti rider to 10 seconds, Gage never looked as though he was getting on terms and as the cloud broke cover, the sun almost came out as King, looking like one of the pit men that once populated the former colliery site, crossed the line.

As a life insurance agent, one question I often get asked is, "Can I purchase life insurance on my ex-husband?"
In most cases, Yes!
But here are the conditions:
1. You Must Prove "Insurable Interest"
You have to be able to prove that you would somehow be financially impacted by your ex-husband's death. If so, there is a legitimate need for insurance, or "insurable interest".
By far, the #1 reason a woman takes out life insurance on her ex-husband is to protect her alimony income.
If the ex-husband dies, and your alimony payments stop, there's a case where you need life insurance. Say you're getting paid child support, or have children you're both helping to put through school or college, his death would mean you have to bear 100% of the financial burden of raising your child/children. You too have an insurable interest.
2. Yes, He Must Know about the Insurance
Since your ex-husband will be the insured, he will need to answer questions about his health and sign an insurance application. You can't take a life insurance policy out on your ex-husband without his knowledge. It's impossible.
In fact, he will not only know about it, but he may have to take a medical exam so the insurance company will make an offer. I've run into some trouble here in the past, when the ex-husband doesn't want to cooperate with answering questions or taking an exam. If you have children together, you might consider putting the children down as beneficiaries on the policy, and telling him so, to get his cooperation. If you don't have children, sometimes a charity or religious organization will work.
Who are the Parties Involved in Purchasing the Policy?
In most cases, you would be the owner, payor, and beneficiary. Your ex-husband would only be the insured. Be sure to tell him he would not be liable for any missed payments – ever. As the owner, you have 100% control over the policy. You can change the beneficiaries, payment mode or frequency, or even decrease the face value (death benefit). For whole life or other cash value policies, the owner would also maintain complete control of the cash value, including having access to cash or loans. Your ex-husband would have no control or access to the policy, and structured like this, would in no way benefit from being the insured on the policy.
Can a Man Purchase Life Insurance on His Ex-Wife?
Yes. Everything written above applies to both cases.
Can I purchase life insurance on my boyfriend or girlfriend?
Yes, again – as long as there is legitimate insurable interest. I wrote an article on this question, which can be found here.

Howdy Y'all!
13 Days til Fanny's departure! W00000000000t
Even though my surgery is less than two weeks away, and my pre-ops are a week away... STILL NOT AFRAID! Maybe this will be the first surgery in a long time where I don't make myself sick beforehand :D I'm continuing to practice moving around like an ever bigger cripple, I've almost mastered the whole walking thing. I did try to walk up the stairs, that's definitely gonna be a challenge. It's hard to really tell though, a lot depends on if my leg will be able to move and if I can put some weight on it. Either way I'll probably need someone behind me to hold my waist as I go up. We've got most everything about recovery figured out. The one thing I'm not sure of is the whole "how am I gonna use the bathroom" thing. Fanny's location will probably make for some interesting post surgery dressings. I have no idea what to expect there... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will just be a simple dressing around my waist. Oh well, I know how to physically get on the toilet seat, which is all that really matters I guess.
I was a teensy bit worried that all the anxiety would kick in today, but surprisingly it was quite the opposite. I found out that I qualify for temporary disability, so that relieved a tooooooooooooooon of anxiety for me. My superiors at work are being super awesome about this whole surgery thing, they were totally cool when I said that I might have be a little late to work on the days when I have pre-ops... so muccccchhh anxiety lifted off my shoulders there. Gotta love having burdens removed from you instead of adding them... YAY ME!
I think this whole Scenty Fundraiser is also helping me drive away whatever feelings of dread I might have. Planning, setting up, promoting, etc make for very worthwhile distractions. My fellow cripples and I are spreading the word of how awesome Scentsy products are. Remember to spread the word my fellow comrades! Also, if anyone else is having a fundraiser and want to spread the word just let me know, I'll be happy to advertise it here :)
I reckon that's it for tonight folks, I promise I'll post animal photos tomorrow to make up for the shortness!
Crippie's Tippie - Spread the word about my fundraiser please!

OMC girl - it is getting close. So happy you are taking this so well. Attitude is so very important in the healing process, and you have a terrific attitude. You are a sharp girl so you probably already know about the potty seats that raise you up a little bit. Would one of those be of any help? Good luck - I'll be thinking of you and keep you in my prayers.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm workin' on getting on of those seat things, I'm also slightly concerned of the dressings getting in the way if you catch my drift ;)

Race three, Shoe Clinic Mountainbike Duathlon Series
While the not-young Jake Stow (38), Wouter De Maat (52) and Michael Harte (55) respectively wrapped up the long course, short course and walk in the Shoe Clinic Mountainbike Series at Rabbit Island yesterday, youth triumphed in the women's sections of the event.
Having missed race one thanks to national competition, 17-year-old Josie Wilcox's win couldn't gain her the series crown in the long event. That went to yesterday's second-placed Laura Hoffmueller. The 17-year-old German exchange concluded her year in Nelson in a high note, making a heartfelt speech in faultless English praising the region as a hotbed of great events. She should know, having won a fair share of them herself.
The short race series was a cliffhanger for the women. Series leader Andrea Livingston's business concerns kept her away, so the stage was set for Karen Goodger (32) and Claire Erasmus (11) to battle it out. Goodger held a 40-second advantage going into the final race, but Erasmus led Goodger home by 1 minute and 7 seconds to take the title, but not the race.
That was won by 10 seconds by 13-year-old Pip Dalley, who also won race two but didn't compete in the series opener.
Rebecca Wasley marched off with the series crown in the women's section of the walk event.

My son loves banana cake and i love to make it but i am not too much of a plain flour fan, i don't think that it is nutritious enough to be eaten by kids, so I tried this banana cake with whole wheat flour .
you will find the recipe here ( WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR CAKE)
The BANANA MUFFIN recipe you will find here
But I mixed the two and made a wonderful cake without using plain flour this cake makes only one loaf which was polished off within 15 minute in my house(we are not big cake eaters each one has just one piece at a time,.. but this time it was different).
i had taken some nice photos but as the camera battery was not fully charged the quality of the photos were pretty bad so i could share only one with you.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 very ripe and sweet big banana
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup oil
cashew pieces for garnishing.
1/2 tsp each of baking soda and baking powder.
I made this whole cake in a mixer by just adding the ingredients one after the other
first put it the oil and sugar blend
then the eggs,add the mashed banana
finally add the flour which has been sieved twice with baking powder and soda.
add the essence
pour in a well greased loaf tin
This quantity makes only one small loaf
But its yummy and healthy too.

I've been cooking almost all day. I'm discovering that I actually like to cook. I've been kind of in a bad mood today - still not over this cold and just mentally weird. Anyway, after I put Elisabeth down for a nap around 1:30 pm, I turned the TV off despite my being preoccupied with cooking and just let Jonah play. He played forever in the living room going back and forth to his room getting more toys (of course I did just clean the living room this morning!). The last few minutes he was just lying in the floor playing with two airplanes entertaining himself. At some point I noticed that I didn't hear any of his normal sound affects and this is what I found.
So now both kids are sleeping - woohoo! Jonah rarely takes a nap, and usually that means he will be up later into the night. But tonight we are going over to a friends house for dinner so that's probably a good thing. It will help him keep a good attitude - I hope.

In February 2011, I wrote a short piece on the uncertainty of DNA evidence for the NYADP blog on the Times Union website*. This article is evolved from the subsequent discussion with a former board member of the International Association for Identification.
What we learned is that even "hard" evidence is not nearly as certain as the public or juries believe it to be.

Light Drinking Not So Heart Healthy, Study Suggests
(HealthDay News) — Cutting alcohol intake -- even for light-to-moderate drinkers -- may benefit heart health, according to research published July 10 in BMJ.
Researchers analyzed more than 50 studies that examined drinking habits and heart health in >260,000 people.
They found that carriers of the rs1229984 variant in the alcohol dehydrogenase 1B gene (ADH1B) (tied to lower levels of drinking) generally had healthier hearts. The gene affects how a person's body breaks down alcohol, resulting in unpleasant symptoms such as nausea and facial flushing. Having this variant has been shown to lead to lower drinking over the long term, the researchers explained. On average, people with the gene had lower blood pressure, lower body mass index, and a 10% lower risk of heart disease.
"In our study, we saw a link between a reduced consumption of alcohol and improved cardiovascular health, regardless of whether the individual was a light, moderate, or heavy drinker," study senior author Juan Casas, MD, PhD, a professor of epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said in a university news release. The study could only show an association between the two, however, it couldn't prove cause-and-effect. Further large-scale gene studies are needed to confirm these findings, the researchers said.

Undoubtedly, an apprenticeship is a variable and beneficial option for school leavers to progress quickly in working life, but from an employer's point of view, you're probably wondering what's in it for me? That's why we've listed the top 5 reasons why you should fill your current vacancy with a trainee.
1. Grow your team while keeping staff costs down
According to career advice website Prospects.ac.uk, starting salaries for estate agents are in the region of £12,000 to £20,000 OTE for trainee posts. With experience, salaries can rise to £25,000 to £60,000 plus commission. Obviously, salaries vary greatly depending on location, qualification, specialist area, the size of the firm and the economic climate in the property market and building industry. If you want to grow your team while keeping staff costs down, it's worth considering hiring a Trainee Estate Agent through an apprenticeship programme.
When hiring an apprentice, you must pay the apprentice at least the minimum wage during their placement with you. The National Minimum Wage for Apprentices is £3.30 per hour (From October 1st, 2016 this will be increasing by 3% to £3.40 per hour). This is the legal minimum pay per hour applying to 16-18-year-old apprentices and those aged 19 and over in the first year of their apprenticeship. So if you hire a Property Apprentice to work Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm, you'll pay them around £127.50 per week.
2. Make hiring simpler and cheaper
The costs of recruitment in time and effort can seem daunting, which is why so many firms are prepared to employ recruitment agencies.
According to job site Monster.co.uk, the average recruitment cost of filling a vacancy using internal or external recruitment methods is reckoned to be around a whopping £4,500! And if you go to a traditional percentage fee agency, and your hired candidate leaves within the first month, you could easily lose thousands of pounds.
High-quality training providers like Profound Services can help you with the entire process from recruiting an apprentice to customising a training programme at no additional cost. They'll also provide information, advice and guidance on the types of funding available to you. Training organisations receive government funding through a contract with the Skills Funding Agency (SFA), so there is no cost to the employer for the recruitment service! It's a win-win situation for all involved!
3. Develop new recruits to meet your need
Apprenticeships are a unique way to 'grow your own'. They are work-based training programmes, designed with employers, which combine on and off the job learning and development activities. Employers have full control over what activities and tasks their apprentice participates in in-house and what they will learn during off-the-job training.
Training providers can work with you to tailor the apprenticeship qualification and delivery to meet your individual business requirements. They'll develop a training plan which reflects the apprentice's and employer's needs, and review and test the progress of an apprentice and provide feedback. For example, Profound Services deliver two different Property Apprenticeship pathways depending on the employers and learners requests. Apprentices can either go down the Residential Property Letting and Management route or go into a Sales of Residential Property based role.
4. Greater productivity
According to the National Apprenticeship Service's Employer Guide to Apprenticeships, 89% of apprentice employers say they make their business more productive. The average apprentice increases business productivity by £214 per week!
A Property Apprentice will be involved in a range of duties that will free up the time for other employees. Typical duties include:
- providing initial advice to customers and obtaining information on requirements and circumstances
- preparing and distributing property information
- managing office diaries and the safe keeping of keys
- liaising with advertising agencies and organising viewings
5. A satisfied workforce with a low staff turnover
Charted Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) conducted a report and highlighted that '75% of apprentice employers say their Apprenticeship programme has helped cut recruitment costs. 80% agree that Apprenticeships will play a greater role in their future recruitment policy; resulting in lower staff turnover, fewer skills-related vacancies, and reduced recruitment costs.'
In the same study, nearly every employer that took on an apprentice (96%) reported benefits to their business including increased employee satisfaction and engagement as a result of hiring an apprentice.
The CIPD report summarised, '…having the people in place to deliver short and long term objectives should be a core process of human resource management. Apprenticeships should be part of this strategic approach, as they offer you the opportunity to grow and develop the skills and the workforce you need for the future and bring bright new talent into your organisation.'
Apprenticeships are an asset to any organisation and can bring significant benefits to your business and existing workforce. If you're ready to take on an apprentice, contact Profound Services on 0191 587 4570 or email email@example.com.
