Picture 2 – A close-up view of the ELCB unit
Before I go into the connections of the ELCB, a short brief on the basics of ELCB is probably better way to start to make sure that those readers who are not too familiar with these sorts of electrical terms do not get confused.
If you feel that the following materials are too highly technical, read this post, Most Basic Principles of House Electricity. You may find out that house electricity is really quite easy to understand.
A. What is an ELCB
The term "ELCB" is an acronym for Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker.
As you can see in the above picture, it is one of the standard components inside a house electrical panel. The ELCB is the second component from the left, with the letters "CLIPSAL" on it.
This component is designed to detect electric current leakage in a house wiring and appliances connected to the wiring.
The leakage current (or leakage voltage) usually occurs when there is a defect in a part of the installation, which can be caused by faulty components or by injuries to the insulation of the wiring, cables, electrical appliances or other accessories such as the switches and socket outlets.
When there is leaked current that exceeds the preset value of the ELCB setting, the ELCB then breaks the connection of the incoming electricity supply from the internal house wiring.
This is done automatically within a fraction of a second of the leakage being detected, before the magnitude of the leakage current reaches a level that can cause serious injuries or electrocution.
With a proper use of ELCB, the possibility of serious injuries due to electric shock to a person who accidentally come into contact with energized metal casing of an appliance is minimized.
B. ELCB circuit
An ELCB is not a simple component. Inside the casing of the ELCB unit you can see in Picture 2 above are a number of components. These components are assembled together and wired into a small electrical circuit with a dedicated purpose.
Diagram 3 below shows the internal circuit of a single phase ELCB. This type is one of the most commonly used type in house electrical panels.
However, before I go further, a few points need to be kept in mind throughout this article.
1. When it first came to be used, the ELCB was actually a voltage-operated device that was designed to detect a current leaking through the earth path of electrical equipment and appliances.
I hope you know the difference between electric current and voltage. If you are not sure, just read this post, Most Basic Principles of House Electricity. I am sure you will find out that house electricity is quite easy to understand.
2. The circuit that you see here is actually a residual current devise (RCD), or residual current circuit breaker (RCCB). This circuit is like a second generation of ELCB design.
It is based on the principle of magnetic core balance and the trigger core is current operated instead of voltage operated as in the original design of ELCB.
3. In terms of performance, the residual current circuit breaker is definitely better. The performance of the old ELCB did not have any problem, but the residual current device can do the same and more.
4. Even though the original ELCB design is no longer used, the name stuck.
Some textbooks now use the term RCD or RCCB to refer to this shock protection devise. However, in many situations the "ELCB" is more popular.
Therefore, the convention has not been changed. It is for this reason that throughout this blog I will keep on using the term "ELCB" for this electric shock protection device.
6. However, in certain scenarios, both ELCB and RCD names need to be used for clarity. Discussions on internal circuit design of the device such as what I am doing now is one of the scenarios.
That is why I will use the two names interchangeable in the following part of this post.
Diagram 3 below shows a typical single-phase double pole ELCB circuit.
Let's go through the components of the ELCB circuit one by one and try to understand how it functions within the ELCB circuit.
Diagram 3 – Typical ELCB circuit
a. Observe that the supply coil, the neutral coil and the search coil all wound on a common transformer core.
On a healthy circuit the same current passes through the phase coil, the load and return back through the neutral coil.
Both the phase and the neutral coils are wound in such a way that they will produce an opposing magnetic flux.
With the same current passing through both coils, their magnetic effect will cancel out under a healthy circuit condition.
b. In a situation when there is fault or a leakage to earth in the load circuit, or anywhere between the load circuit and the output connection of the ELCB circuit, the current returning through the neutral coil has been reduced.
Then the magnetic flux inside the transformer core is not balanced anymore. The total sum of the opposing magnetic flux is no longer zero. This net remaining flux is what we call a residual flux.
c. The periodically changing residual flux inside the transformer core crosses path with the winding of the search coil. This action produces an electromotive force (e.m.f.) across the search coil.
An electromotive force is actually an alternating voltage.
The induced voltage across the search coil produces a current inside the wiring of the trip circuit. It is this current that operates the trip coil of the circuit breaker.
Since the trip current is driven by the residual magnetic flux (the resulting flux, the net effect between both fluxes) between the phase and the neutral coils, it is called the residual current devise.
With a circuit breaker incorporated as part of the circuit, the assembled system is called residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) or residual current devise (RCD).
d. The incoming current has to pass through the circuit breaker first before going to the phase coil. The return neutral path passes through the second circuit breaker pole.
During tripping when a fault is detected, both the phase and neutral connection is isolated.
The circuit breaker can also be used to manually ON or OFF the electricity supply into the house wiring.
e. The load is not part of the internal ELCB circuit.
However, notice that there is an earthing symbol at the exposed casing of the load. That symbol represents the earthing connection from the exposed metal parts of the electrical equipment or appliance to the electrical earth.
This earthing connection will allow the ELCB to fulfill its purpose of being in the electrical circuit.
You can have a good operational ELCB unit properly installed and wired at the electrical panel, but if the earthing connection is broken or missing, the ELCB will not trip during an actual earth leakage situation.
f. The test pushbutton and the test resistor are arranged and wired to provide a testing function for the ELCB circuit.
This part of the circuit bleeds away a fraction of the running current from the phase coil, and sends it through the return coil.
When the pushbutton is operated (i.e. pushed down), the electric current at the neutral coil will be higher than the current through the phase coil. This is because of the additional current supplied by the test resistor.
Therefore, there is an imbalance between the two fluxes and this generates a residual current in the trip circuit, which trips the circuit breaker.
However, the TEST pushbutton cannot test the complete operation of the electric shock protection system.
As mentioned above, the protection system can only be effective if the grounding part of the electrical wiring is adequately functional.
I will spend an entire post on electrical grounding soon.
However, I already have a post on the electrical earthing for a very simple installation. The pictures there also show very clearly the connections and the path of the grounding cables.
The electrical earthing for your house wiring is probably very similar to this one.
Read the post here, Temporary Electrical Earthing Pictures. If your interest is temporary electrical installations, I have also uploaded a couple of pictures here, Temporary Electrical Panel and Cord Pictures.
Now let's go through the connections of the ELCB unit.
C. How to connect ELCB or RCD
So how would you connect the ELCB unit to the house electrical system?
Most residential electrical systems are similar, but even the wiring of the similar ones may not be exactly the same.
However once you understand one system, then by common sense you can understand most of them.
Diagram 4 below is an example of a house single-line diagram. It is not the same as the one used to wire the electrical panel in Picture 1 above, but it is very similar with just very minor differences.
I could have re-drawn the diagram to match exactly with that of the above panel wiring, but I wanted the readers to understand that in real life, not all house wiring is the same. There are minor differences here and there, which make it necessary to be extra careful when working on the wiring.
Electricity kills.
Diagram 4 – Example house single-line diagram
The single line diagram provides an overall picture of the wiring system for the whole house into in easy to understand view. Remember, this is not a wiring diagram. A single line diagram is a representation of the whole system by showing the interrelationships between all major components that are assembled to produce the system. It is just like a block diagram.
The big blue rectangle in Diagram 4 represents the house electric panel. Notice the label "House Electrical Panel" at the bottom left corner of the rectangle. There is also the words "T.C.L: 5.5 kW" underneath it.
Diagram 5 – Electric Panel Label
T.C. L. means Total Connected Load, which is the total sum of all the wattage of electrical loads in the house as shown in the diagram.
The 5.5 kW means 5.5 thousands watt, or 5500 watt, or 5500 W.
Remember that the standard four feet fluorescent lamp with one tube is normally 36 watt or 40 watt. If your house has 10 lamps like that with each lamp having 2 fluorescent tubes, then the electrical load from the fluorescent lamps in the house is:
10 x 2 x 36 watt = 720 watt, or 720 W, or 0.72 kW.
The 5.5 kW shown in the diagram is just an estimate by the house electrical designer based on his experience. She actually did not know the exact load for sure because the precise electric load imposed by some appliances such as the air conditioning units was unknown yet at the time. It may also change from time to time.
The earthing symbol
Underneath the T.C.L. is a symbol that is connected to the electric panel rectangle, as shown below:
Diagram 6 – Electric panel earthing symbol
Please pay attention to this symbol, because it is very important to the operation of the ELCB as an electric shock protection devise for the house electricity supply.
This symbol represents the third cable connection to the electric panel. The other two cables are the incoming supply cables from the electric meter as shown in Picture 7 below.
Picture 7 – House energy meter
The third cable can make the electricity safe enough for use if it is installed and connected properly.
So you need three cables. Two of them are connected to the cables on the electric poles in front of the house.
Now back to the ELCB.
Refer to the zoom-out of the diagram below:
Diagram 8 – Incoming supply cables
Then a connection is made from ELCB to the electric panel LIVE busbar.
The LIVE busbar is used to distribute electricity to all circuits in the panel. The "20A SPN MCB" and "10A SPN MCB" are used to protect each of the circuits from excessive current flow to the circuit wiring cables.
Notice that the cable sizes for the wiring circuits are also indicated in Diagram 9 at the top left corner, as shown below:
Diagram 9 – Wiring circuit cable sizes
Notice that the wiring cables to one of the 20A Air-conditioning Panels are 2 cables of 4 mm square in size, and the circuit breaker (i.e. MCB) protecting these cables is rated 20A.
These 4 mm square can handle more than 20A of electric current. However, if the air conditioning unit is faulty, the current flow may rise dramatically to a value that the cables cannot handle. The cables may overheat and cause fire to the house.
The 20A rating would prevent that by limiting the current flow to just 20A. If the flow exceeds 20A, the MCB would trip and this prevents overheating and any other types of damages and fire risks.
Have I strayed from the ELCB topic again?
It is not the ELCB unit's job to protect the wiring cables from overheat or short-circuit.
Yes, but I did it on purpose. I briefly explained on components around the ELCB unit and their purposes. This clarifies that those functions are not the purpose of the ELCB unit.
For example, the protection of the house wiring cables from overheat above is done by the MCB circuit breakers. It is not the ELCB's job to provide this protection.
The supply current at the LIVE busbar is protected by the ELCB
On the other hand, the supply that is distributed by the LIVE busbar to the wiring circuit breakers is taken from the ELCB. Therefore, any leakage of current or voltage from the live busbar to electric panel casing would be detected by the ELCB and the ELCB unit would cut off the supply if the leakage exceeds a preset leakage level (which is 100 mA in this case).
The supply voltage at the "60A SPN SWITCH FUSE" is not protected by the ELCB unit.
Again, it is also not the ELCB unit's job to provide a shock protection at the switch-fuse. The supply from the meter goes through the switch-fuse first, and then come out of the second terminal to go to the ELCB.
Therefore, the electric voltage at the switch-fuse is has no shock protection. If temporary wiring is done directly to the electric panel and there is a shorted connection to any of the terminals of the switch-fuse, or to the "IN" live terminal of the ELCB, then this leakage would not be detected by the ELCB.
A person can suffer severe injuries due to shorted connections to the switch-fuse terminals even though the ELCB and the house electrical earthing are working perfectly.
With the above points and warnings, let us REALLY go to the connections of the ELCB unit.
ELCB connection pictures
Let's do this by tracking the flow of the electric power from component to component with the guide of the House Single Line diagram in Diagram 4 above.
A single line diagram is one of the electrical wiring plans that electricians use as a guide to do the wiring works to a house. With these plans, the wiring system installed can be done in the way as intended by the house designer.
Let's start with an overall view of how the house electrical system works. The start is at the bottom of the diagram, with words "From Meter Panel" in red letters. That is where the electricity supply comes from. Every house has an electric meter. That is the meter I am talking about. Picture 7 above shows an example of a house electric meter. We already talked about that.
From the meter, the electric power flows to the panel through a pair of electric cables. They are shown by the red lines going to the House Electrical Panel. The red line has also been labeled "2 – 25 SQ.MM. PVC Cu CABLE IN CONC. CONDUIT".
What the label says is that the supply cables from the meter panel to the electric panel are copper ("Cu" means copper) cables with 25 millimeters square in size. The size is actually the cross-sectional area of each cable. There are two of them and they are installed in concealed conduit.
The word "PVC" means the cable is insulated with PVC materials, one of the most widely used insulation materials for wiring cables.
The consumer electrical panel (i.e. the house panel) is indicated by the biggest blue rectangle in the schematic diagram with the label "House Electrical Panel" at the left bottom corner. Every component that is located inside this blue rectangle is actually located on or inside the electric panel. That is how the diagram should be interpreted.
At the house electric panel, the "LIVE" supply cable is connected to the "IN" terminal of the switch-fuse. The second blue rectangle in the diagram with the label "60A SPN SWITCH FUSE" is the switch fuse.
Picture 10 below shows the panel at a slightly different viewing angle. Most of the components inside the panel are mounted on a standard rail and the switch fuse is the component at the far left (your left hand side) of the photograph, with the letters "NEM" on it.
Picture 10 – Electric panel wiring at a different viewing angle.
The switch-fuse connection terminal for incoming cable is located at the bottom of the unit, and the outgoing connection to ELCB at the top. Therefore, the incoming LIVE cable will come out from the concealed conduit in the wall near the bottom of the panel to terminate at the switch fuse "IN" terminal. You can see that in Picture 10.
However for readers with small computer screen, you can probably see better in Picture 11 below.
Someone out there may say that his or her house panel has another terminal near or adjacent to the switch fuse, which is for connecting the incoming NEUTRAL cable. That is also one of the common practices.
The terminal that the NEUTRAL cable connects to is the neutral link. In this panel, the neutral cable goes straight to the ELCB (which is the component next to the switch fuse). I will talk about the neutral link and the ELCB a bit later.
Picture 11 – Switch-fuse connection to ELCB
Switch-fuse is actually a combination of a switch and a fuse. Likewise, it is to function as both. You can isolate the supply to the house by switching it to the OFF position. This is what you MUST do if you wish to do some repair works to your house wiring or if you want to replace a faulty circuit breaker.
Part of the switch-fuse is also a fuse inside a fuse carrier. The "60A" means the fuse maximum current rating is 60 amperes. If the electricity current drawn by all appliances and equipment inside the house exceed 60 amperes, the fuse will blow and disconnect the house wiring from the supply at the meter board just outside the house.
Likewise, if there is a damaged wiring that causes a short circuit between cables, the currents can also exceed 60A and the fuse will blow.
This function protects the house wiring from overheating that can cause fires and protect the house electrical system from damage.
After turning the switch-fuse to OFF position, you can actually take out the cartridge fuse inside the carrier. You can then keep the fuse unit somewhere else while working on the wiring.
If someone switches it back to ON position for whatever reason while you are working on the wiring away from the panel, the wiring will not be energized and cause an electric shock, which can be deadly.
From the switch-fuse, a cable connection is made from the outgoing terminal (the top terminal in the picture) to the Earth leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB). This is the symbol just above the switch fuse symbol in the above schematic diagram (Diagram 4). The smaller blue rectangle has "ELCB" letters inside it.
In your house, you may see that this component is called RCD, RCCB or other names. They are just variations of the technology used to design and manufacture this component. They all work more or less the same way.
In Picture 10 above, the ELCB is the component next to the switch-fuse, with the letters "CLIPSAL" on it. A closer view of the component is shown on Picture 12 below. This is the same picture as Picture 2 above. I just put it here again for your convenience because this is a long post.
The ELCB protects the users from the risk of electric shocks. Sometimes there is damage to the wiring system or to an electrical appliance connected to the wiring, which causes a leak of electric voltage.
An example scenario may be an injured PVC insulation of a live wiring cable inside a house washing machine. If the exposed live copper conductor (underneath the PVC insulation) somehow touches the metal casing of the washing machine, then the metal casing can be energized to a dangerous voltage level.
Anyone touching the metal casing will suffer an electric shock and may be seriously injured. Death from this type of accidents is common.
The ELCB can detect this leaked voltage and it will trip fast enough to prevent possibilities of serious electrical accidents.
Picture 12 below shows a closer front view of the ELCB unit. You can see from the above two pictures of ELCB that there is a cable connecting the outgoing terminal of the switch fuse (the top terminal) and the top left terminal of the ELCB (Notice that the ELCB has four connection terminals, two at the top of the unit and two at the bottom).
The incoming terminals of the ELCB are located at the top by design. The arrangement helps to produce a neat and very short connection between the switch fuse and the ELCB units. This is an important trait in the arrangement of an electrical system, and the wiring of its electrical components: neatness and efficiency.
Picture 12 – ELCB unit
From Picture 10 above you can also see a longer cable connected to the ELCB's second top terminal. This is the incoming NEUTRAL cable, which comes directly to the ELCB from the meter panel. If a neutral link is used together with the switch-fuse, then this connection to the ELCB will come from the second terminal of the fuse link.
There are some details on the ELCB unit that I would like to talk about, but that may make this post too long. I will probably use another new post for that topic.
Now let see the next component in the path of the power flow on the electric panel.
Refer again to the single line diagram in Diagram 4 above. Going upward from the ELCB, the next component in the power path is a thick red-colored line. It is connected to 16 thinner branch red lines with similar symbols on them (labeled "20A SPN MCB", or 10A instead of 20A).
I took another picture with a different angle again to show you clearly what this thick read line is. See Picture 13 below.
Picture 13 – LIVE busbar view
Look at the long copper-colored metal piece extending from left to right next to the black cables. This is the actual look of the thick red colored line in the schematic diagram. It is called the LIVE busbar, or the PHASE busbar.
It is copper-colored because it is actually made of copper, the same material that is used to manufacture the cable conductor.
The busbar is used to distribute the electric current to the entire branch wiring in the house. Each of the branch wiring is protected by a circuit breaker, which is the symbol you see on each of the 16 red branch lines in Diagram 4.
How to interpret the circuit breaker symbol
How to read the label next to the circuit breaker symbol, "20A SPN MCB":
One of the labels says "MCB". This is an acronym for "Miniature Circuit Breaker". This is the most common type of circuit breakers used in a house electric panel. In the old days, fuses were used in place if these MCBs. Nowadays fuses are still used for these purposes, but modern homes use mainly MCBs.
"20A" means that the maximum current the circuit breaker will allow into the branch wiring it protects is 20 amperes. If the equipment draws current more than this, the circuit breaker will trip and stop the current flow.
Picture 14 below shows a closer view of one of the MCB units. Observe the label "20A" on it.
Picture 14 – Closer view of the MCB unit
SPN means "Single Pole and Neutral". Remember that this is a normal single-phase supply, 240 volt. If an equipment in a house has a high wattage such as a water heater in a big bungalow, with say 8 kW hot water heater, then it will probably need a three-phase supply. Then the circuit breaker that protects its branch wiring would have been labeled TPN, which is "Three Pole and Neutral".
However, this house electrical panel is only a single-phase type. Therefore, it cannot be used to supply a three-phase equipment.
How is the LIVE busbar connected to ELCB?
You guessed it; it is by one of the black cables coming out from the bottom of the ELCB unit. The other end of this cable is terminated to fourth MCB unit counted from the ELCB position.
The live busbar actually has a number of teeth along its length. Each of the teeth is bent so it can be slotted into the lower connection terminal of the MCB units. You can see this in Picture 15.
Picture 15 – MCB Connection to LIVE Busbar
At the fourth MCB unit, the live cable from ELCB outgoing terminal and one of the busbar teeth is terminated together at the lower terminal of the circuit breaker.
Therefore, all lower terminals of the circuit breakers in the panel (except the last one at the far right) are connected to the live busbar.
Additional Circuit Breaker
The right-most circuit breaker has a little different story. It seems that this MCB is an additional MCB that has been added later, after the electrical installation work has been completed. Therefore, the busbar length was not long enough to give the extra connection.
So the house occupant added an extra connection wire with an insulation that happened to be green (not a very good choice of color in this case because it can be confused with earthing wires).
We have covered almost all of the components on the electric panel. Now let's go back to the schematic diagram and check if we have missed anything.
Back to the Schematic Diagram – Diagram 4
As you can see in the diagram, after the MCB symbols there are only thin red lines, which are what we call final circuit wiring. These wiring cables go to the wall socket outlets and the wall switches in the house.
The diagram also indicates the sizes of the wiring cables. I have shown how to interpret those labels earlier for the incoming cables. So now, the interpretation method is also the same way.
Are these all the components on the electric panel? Not quite.
The neutral and earthing busbars
Look at Picture 10 again. Above the ELCB unit, you can see a different type of busbar. This one has a number of screws on it for the purpose of cable terminations. As you can see, there are a number of green cables connected to it. That is because it is the grounding busbar.
Picture 16 – Grounding Busbar
I will not elaborate much on this topic today because this hub will then be too long. I will pick up on the grounding topic in another post. Electrical grounding is a major topic in electrical works.
Suffice to say for now that the ground wiring is like the nervous system for the electric shock protection in your house wiring.
If a house electrical ground wiring is not working properly, a faulty appliance such as a washing machine can cause electric shock injuries and electrocution in the house. The risk of fatal accident is very high. It is that simple.
This can happen even if the ELCB or RCD unit is tested regularly and it seems to be healthy.
The neutral busbar
Far to the right side of the earthing busbar is the neutral busbar.
Observe carefully the wiring connected to the outgoing circuit breakers (i.e. the MCBs). There is only one wiring cable there, which is the LIVE cable.
Picture 17 – Neutral Busbar
One cable is not enough to make a complete loop (Remember the basic principle of electricity in the beginning of this article?). So there must be a second cable, the NEUTRAL cable, which comes out of this panel for each of the circuit breaker, right?
Right. The NEUTRAL wiring cables are the black cables connected to the neutral busbar. One black cable need to be installed for the outgoing wiring of each circuit breaker. We have 12 outgoing circuit breakers on the panel.
Therefore, there must be 12 neutral cables connected to the neutral busbar.
The same number should also be for the green wires connected to the grounding busbar. If the number is less, then the wiring needs to be checked by an electrician.
The number of NEUTRAL connections must equal the number of circuit breakers
What if the number of the green and black cables connected to the busbars are smaller than the number of MCBs on the electric panel? Can the electrical system work properly?
Yes, it can with certain conditions. However, it is not a good practice and it is not recommended. So don't do it even if you are a good electrician.
This issue is a more advanced subject. So I will save it for a different article. Beginner readers may get confused if I mix them up here.
Is the Grounding Busbar Grounded?
With all the above pictures, you can see that the LIVE busbar is connected to the LIVE incoming cable (at the fourth MCB from left). The NEUTRAL busbar is connected to the neutral incoming cable below the neutral busbar (better seen in Picture 17).
The GROUNDING busbar or the EARTHING busbar, which is part of the central nervous system for the house electric shock protection, needs to be effectively connected to the main earth mass. Without this connection, the shock protection simply will not work.
Can anyone guess the connection cable to the earth mass from the pictures above? I can't either.
But don't worry. I have actually tested the wiring and the earthing connection worked properly. I just didn't have the time to find out which of the green wiring cables actually connects to the grounding electrodes outside the house.
I think the above covers all the important components on the house electric panel. If I have missed anything, someone please let me know. I will send an update.
One more thing before I close this post. The electric panel in the picture is not exactly the same as the one in the schematic diagram. Some readers may have already noticed this by the number of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) on the panel.
However, these two panels are very similar. Only the number of final wiring circuits is different.

Are you tired of buying every course on how to make money doing real estate and still haven't made a penny? Have you gone to endless Real Estate seminars and you still haven't bought a single property?
I'm Shawn Greeves and I have the world's easiest way to do real estate. I have bought and sold hundreds and hundreds of houses. The system I use, I started when the real estate market crashed in 2008. When everybody went broke I made more money after the crash than I did before the crash and I made a lot before the crash. The same system works today and will always work. I can do houses any way I want.
I've developed a system that a beginner can easily do and a seasoned pro (like me) can do. If you're a beginner you will love the simplicity of this model. You can quit your job quickly and finally make all the money you deserve. You can buy the cars or the house you want. You can go on vacations when you want and never have to ask if you can take time off from your J.O.B.
Have you ever bought a course and had no idea where to start? I will show you the SIMPLE, NO STRESS step by step way to do this business. You will also learn how to be a lender when you start making a surplus of money to create multiple streams of income. MAKE MONEY while you're sleeping!!
You will not only learn how to SET YOURSELF FREE… you will also learn how to break your old habits and fears and learn how to move from a sacristy mind set and get into an abundance mindset so nothing will ever get in your way to getting what you want. This is not seasonal… like retail deals.
If you've been wanting to make your living in real estate then you have probably been reading every website that tells you "Buy houses with No Money" or "Wholesale houses" "Make money never having to buy a house." If you have tried these methods, how's that working out??
I know how it's working out. IT'S NOT!!!!
I'm here to tell you I've done it all and it is extremely difficult doing those methods to make enough money to quit your job. You know what I'm talking about... forget about it! Everyone wants money to just show up at the door.
Well it's not that easy. Most people watch on TV how easy it is to buy a house and fix it up and buyers show up in a day and buy the house. I'm here to tell you they are not telling the whole story, with all the problems that come with doing total rehabs.
SO... I buy the lower end houses (not the war zone), low stress houses and do lite fix up NO Rehabbing and sell to ALL CASH buyers that want to do long term holds. No waiting months to find a buyer. My deals don't fall apart because the buyer can't get financing. No appraisals that will lower the value of the house. Cash buyers have more money than houses that you can supply to them!
I will show you how to find houses where the Sellers Will Call You to buy from them! It cost ZERO money to get these Sellers to Call You. No big mailing campaigns that cost tons of money. I will show you who and where the Buyers are. I will show you what to do to the houses so Buyers will line up to Buy from you.
I will show you where to get the money to do the business with.
I'm an old school kind of guy. I don't want to have to set up all kinds of systems. Besides that it costs a lot of money. I don't need all the systems, so I don't do it. The other courses out there tell you to wholesale houses and make great money. Well it's very difficult to compete with all the other buyers out there spending thousands of dollars a month to get home owners to call them. If you're not spending thousands of dollars every month to make the phone ring with sellers you will never make any money. Other courses tell you to find people that will let you take over their payments Zero Down.
Well, you might be able to find a seller like that once a year but really can you quit your job, finding one house a year where you can make $300.00 a month in cash flow and it cost you $5,000.00 for marketing and answering systems just to find one house? NO!!!!
- Have MORE TIME.... and take your life back.
You can finally control your life. Let me show you the easiest most lucrative real estate system that anyone can do.
If you've been wanting to make your living in real estate then you have probably been reading every website that tells you "Buy houses with No Money" or "Wholesale houses" "Make money never having to buy a house." If you have tried these methods, how's that working out??
Yes, here's the disclaimer. I'm not going to guarantee that you make any money. My students and I make as much money as we want. You can too. This is unlike all the other courses out there that tell you to press a couple of buttons and the money will come in. I don't know of any system that actually works like that. I'm saying YES… you will make money if you actually work THIS system.

World Animal Protection
I was the lead strategist on this project at Wolff Olins.
With only 7% unprompted awareness, World Animal Protection needed a new contemporary brand to move people across the world to end animal suffering.
We worked with internal communication directors Pippa Rodgers and Collette Collins to create change inside and outside their organisation through:
Company purpose + manifesto
New employee values and behaviours
Naming strategy + new name
Existing supporter strategy + training workshops
Since the new brand was launched, they've moved 436,000 supporters to fund their work, brought life-saving aid 1.3 animals affected by disaster, and saved 100,000+ dogs.
Key learnings
Focus on the why
Don't assume everyone will immediately care about your cause. Focus on why it should specifically matter to them.
Create toolkits, not just powerpoints.
Equip people in your organisation at scale through interactive workshops, fun exercises and bite-sized content.
Change takes time.
Reinforce new behaviours through on-going design clinics, leadership coaching and online learning.

Roisin Mulgrew appointed new Council Chairperson
June 5, 2017
Sinn Fein Councillor Roísín Mulgrew has been appointed as the new Chairperson of Newry Mourne and Down District Council.
Taking the chain of the First Citizen at Thursday's third annual meeting of NMDDC, Councillor Mulgrew said,
"It is my honour tonight to be elected to serve as the new Chairperson of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. This occasion is made even more special by the support of my family and fellow party members with whom I have campaigned for many years and without their hard work and dedication I would not be here today. This position is an opportunity to pursue and achieve real change for the people in our area."
Speaking about the year ahead Councillor Mulgrew said she intends to place the uncertain future of Daisy Hill Hospital and "the looming threat of service closure at the forefront of local politics, empowering and supporting the inspiring grassroots activity of recent years."
"I will use my year in office to bring together the wealth of ideas, the energy and the efforts of community groups, the staff of Daisy Hill, our trade unions and local businesses into one unified campaign," she added.
"I will ensure that as a community we speak effectively with a single voice to save Daisy Hill and all of our health care facilities throughout the district which are under threat; they are at the heart of our community."
Councillor Mulgrew outlined the importance of standing against Brexit, which she said will "define social, economic and political life in this region for a generation" disrupting the way of life and livelihoods of border communities in particular and she added that her chosen charities this year will reflect the "unceasing effort and the vast network of community activists throughout the district."
"I look forward to tackling these challenges supported by a talented and dedicated Deputy Chair, Councillor William Clarke and indeed the whole Council team," concluded the new Chairperson.
Sinn Fein Councillor Clarke, who was appointed the role of Deputy Chair at Thursday's meeting, congratulated Councillor Mulgrew on becoming the district's First Citizen, saying,
"I will do all I can in my role as Deputy Chairperson, to support Councillor Mulgrew. My congratulations also go to Councillor Fitzpatrick on the high energy role she undertook as Chairperson and to Councillor Craig for his role as Deputy Chair."
Setting out his priorities for the year, Councillor Clarke said he would endeavour to "continue the healing process in communities and work with new citizens and ethnic groups within the district" as well as disadvantaged groups so that resources can be directed to those that need them most.
"My sincere thanks go to my party for nominating me for this role, I am honoured and humbled to be Deputy Chair of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council."
Outgoing Chairperson, Councillor Gillian Fitzpatrick thanked the public for embracing her throughout her year adding that she "truly had an amazing epic experience this year."
"I would like to thank Councillor Garth Craig for his work as Deputy Chair and for his support throughout the year, and to the Chief Executive, Mr Liam Hannaway and Directors for their guidance and counsel. I cannot end my year in office without mentioning the Democratic Services team without whom I couldn't have conducted my business. They worked tirelessly to ensure that I was able to attend so many events across the entire district as well as organising my recent Chairperson's Charity Ball, which was a truly successful event. I am delighted with the funds which we raised for my chosen charities and the donations will be presented in due course."
Describing her year in office as "tremendous, enjoyable, heart rendering, thoughtful and at times tough" Councillor Fitzpatrick thanked all the individuals, community groups, voluntary groups and business people she had met this year and wished the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson all the very best in their roles before thanking the SDLP for putting her forward and trusting her with the position of First Citizen.
Outgoing Deputy Chairperson, Councillor Garth Craig said it had been "an honour to serve the district" and he thanked Councillor Fitzpatrick "for her tireless work" and Chief Executive, Liam Hannaway and his team for their support, as well as the Democratic Services team and his Party colleagues.

Our last day in Greenland was a day with snow and deep hanging clouds. Even it was Sunday we started our landing in Ittoqqortoormiit at 8:00am. Ittoqqortoormiit is a very isolated town at the mouth of the Scoresbysund Fjord system. In former times – before the Greenlanders got their self-government in 1979 – the settlement was called Scoresbysund. But after 1979 all towns and settlements in Greenland had to be renamed as Greenlandic became the official language. That is wonderful for the Greenlanders but a catastrophe for the rest of the world. We had to train the pronunciation again and again and it is still difficult to say it in the right way, but at least we tried.
The inhabitants of Ittoqqortoormiit offered us a special program. We could visit the church, the museum, the tourist office, we joined a dog feeding, we saw the start of a weather balloon, we tasted muskox meat and of course we tried to get the best impression of the town when we walked along the gravel roads. It was an interesting last landing in Greenland.
Back on board we were sailing for a while along the coast of Greenland until the captain turned the ship westwards over the Denmark Strait in the direction of Iceland. This passage can be very rough, but even it was windy our lovely lady FRAM behaved wonderful in the waves. So we could listen to another lecture series in the afternoon to be well prepared for Iceland.
In the evening we had a question and answer round with the expedition team in the Observation Lounge; after only 15 minutes this round came to a fast end when we heard the announcement: Aurora Borealis! Nordlys! Nordlicht! Northern Light! That was what we were waiting for. And now we got it and we got a nice and perfect one. Even it was cold we were standing for a long time on the open decks to enjoy this amazing spectacle. It was a perfect end for our Greenland season.

The Church grew exponentially daily! It brought together many cultures and presented several problems for the leadership. In order for the Apostles to continue preaching the Word of God, Stephen and others stepped in to care for neglected widows. The boldness of Stephen's defense of Jesus as the Christ could be compared to that of Peter in his first sermon after Pentecost. Stephen, the servant and martyr, entered glory.
Unmet Needs in the Church
At that time Jewish widows who became believers had been accustomed to daily help from the Synagogue suppling food or money. Then the Apostles found that Greek Jewish widows, who became believers, were discriminated against and left out of the distributions.
The Twelve called a meeting of all the believers and said, "We Apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. Then we Apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word" (Acts 6:2-4 NLT).
The congregation chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas all of whom were Greek Jews. But Nicolas was a Gentile believer from Antioch. * The Apostles laid hands on them and prayed for them.
Stephen performed amazing miracles and signs among the people.
Stephen Speaks to the Jewish Leaders
One day men from the Synagogue debated with Stephen. However, no one could stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. So they persuaded others to lie, saying he blasphemes Moses and God. This roused the Jewish people, especially the elders, and teachers of Law.
Then the high priest asked him if the accusations were true. Stephen presented a rich, meaningful review of Jewish history—an amazing accomplishment for an uneducated man. The Council and high priest knew this history well.
Just as Peter did, Stephen accused them of the murder of the Righteous One—The Messiah, and deliberately disobeying God's law. Stephen charged them for consistently persecuting God's chosen leaders. The Jewish leaders were infuriated by Stephen's accusation and they shook their fists at him in rage (Acts 7:54 NLT).
They dragged Stephen out of the city to stone him. A young man, Saul, stood by watching. As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." He fell to his knees, shouting, "Lord, don't charge them with this sin!" And with that, he died (Acts 7:59,60 NLT). Stephen, the servant and martyr, entered glory.

Good Golly what I do for my blog readers! Just now, I made a new green smoothie concoction with STINGING NETTLES!! And I'm actually drinking it (while alternately scratching my stinging hands).
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of you all who responded positively to my green confession! I am continuing on with my green recipes, as I have made several different concoctions that are quite yummy.
First up is an all green (no fruit) recipe: 1/2 avocado, 1/2 peeled cuke, juice of one lemon, greens (I used chard and kale). It was good, but got better when I added an over ripe pear!
Next, my new favorite: 2 frozen bananas (when my bananas get over ripe, I peel them and toss them in the freezer. My boys eat them like popsicles.), juice of 1 lime (I added the zest, too, but it made the smoothie bitter. Unless I got overzealous and got some pith with my zest. hmmmm), greens, and a bit of water to help everything grind up. As Rachel Ray says, Yummo!
Back to the stinging nettles. I made the smoothie with 2 frozen bananas, juice of 1 lemon (no zest), some water, a bunch (a good handful of stems– I only used the leaves though, hence the stinging hands from picking off the leaves. Why didn't I use gloves? Because I just now thought of it. DUH!)
It tastes delicious. Kind of citrus-y and new mown hay-y, with a little sweet. I generally dislike sweet drinks, and I've never liked smoothies made with bananas– too sweet for me. These green guys are, imo, perfect with bananas– it's the perfect light touch of sweet.
OK. My tongue feels kind of zing-y. Is that the stinging? Are my insides stinging, too? Or am I being a hypochondriac? After I post this, I'm going to do a search on stinging nettles. What possessed me? Well, the farmer's market lady was pleased that I was going to eat them…. so at least she's happy!
Now, on another subject, but along the same lines… do any of you watch Hell's Kitchen on tv? (yes, I watch terrible junky tv! It's fun!) Last night, one of the chef's cut off the tip of his thumb (by accident.) Although there were a few seconds of searching for the tip, they never showed whether they found it. Unless I was too busy grossing out at that point and I missed them holding the finger bit aloft… and out of the food. Please. I'm asking you politely, with a stinging tongue. Did they find it? Or did it stay in the prosciutto? Will I ever be able to eat prosciutto again? Will my tongue ever stop tingling? Stay tuned!

In its annual book of predictions "The World in 2007", The
Economist puts it as a foregone conclusion that Digg will get snapped
up for a fortune this year and that Kevin Rose will become a household
name. According to some estimates e.g. Alexa (I can see some
buries coming for citing that as a source), Digg is daily read by
approximately one in hundred Internet users . The site which put social news on the scene, with a
great position to soak up a whole lot of new users and traffic as it
adds more categories (witness the quick success of the US Elections 2008 category), will
certainly be a prize catch for any acquirer.
While rumors about Digg's acquisition seem to crop up every few weeks, only to die away until the next one starts, I do believe in this particular prediction. Besides being a sucker for predictions made by The Economist, I can see several dynamics afoot which makes a Digg acquisition in coming months, a relatively high probability. As prosaic as it sounds, the biggest dynamic is the race being fought to become the lead gateway to the Internet content. Digg with its brand and existing network provides a big step forward towards that leadership.
From the perspective of Digg's management and investors the financial rewards will of course be the primary reason to sell. But they can (and will) give several other good reasons for the sale. A bigger owner provides much greater credibility. For example, Google recently signed a deal with BBC which will allow users to find BBC short-form content and specially made material through YouTube. It is very likely that Google's brand and reputation helped in inking this deal. A greater insight into traffic patters and rogue users will enable the owner to put up a much more effective fight against Digg's perils such as crowdhacking. Digg also has new competition at its heels - netscape.com, Slashdot Firehose etc. (Although as of March 2007 netscape.com seriously lacked usability and look and feel. The comparison of digg and netscape.com looks more like clean look of Google vs. cluttered look of Yahoo.) It may be better off in the arms of a bigger parent, while trying to maintain and increase its lead.
So, who are the potential diggers for Digg? The usual suspects are Google, Yahoo and News Corp. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft has its eyes on the girl as well. The acquisition will almost certainly be based on strategic importance of Digg, rather than its current revenue stream at the time of the sale. So, the buyer will need to have longer term view of the Internet leadership, with ability to overpay when needed.
One of the earliest rumors of Digg acquisition centered around Yahoo back in January 2006[1]. The acquisition price was rumored around $30 million. With acquisition of Del.icio.us and Flickr Yahoo firmly indicated its hunger for leading Web 2.0 community sites. On the other hand, currently Yahoo's biggest challenge is not getting more users and traffic - but how to monetize them effectively. Until it figures out the secret sauce of efficiently monetizing its already huge traffic, it may be leery to put in top dollars for another web property.
News Corp with its news distribution holdings (TV Channels, Newspapers, Magazines), would certainly see the value of the social news phenomenon. If the business of news was a zero-sum game, then News Corp could easily justify the acquisition price of Digg to the revenue shortfall from losing readers from its current news properties to likes of Digg. Recent rumors of Digg acquisition have been around News Corp. The value of the deal was said to be between $150 million and $200 million. By this logic Time Warner would be another potential suitor - however it seems to have lost appetite for relatively large Internet related acquisitions after its ill-timed acquisition of AOL. Besides, Time Warner is trying to duke it out with its launch of a Digg like service on netscape.com.
Microsoft has a huge war chest and sharp jealousy for Google's success. It has tip-toed into social news arena, with its launch of MSN Reporter in very few geographies. While Microsoft has the wherewithal to catch up if it really puts it focus on something, it may decide that it doesn't want Digg in laps of its number one nemesis. Also, catching up to Digg is not just about technology, it is much more about the social network that is already built around it. Digg has had 50,000,000+ diggs [2] and close to a million registered users[3]. This social network has even created a tangible value for each digg - currently pegged around $1 per digg[4].
Google describes itself as the global technology leader focused on improving the ways people connect with information. Digg is all about improving the ways people connect with news. Google does not have a significant overlap with Digg, and Google News could potentially be integrated with Digg in very interesting ways. Google has a piggy bank filled with 11.2 billion dollars (10-K Filing, 31st December 2006) and has shown its ability to overpay for strategic properties with its acquisition of YouTube. Google has leg up over every one else because of one more important reason: It runs the advertisements on digg.com, which gives it access to the kind of information about Digg that no one else can lay their hands on. Google will be in a very good position to make an informed offer for Digg. I am giving my digg, aka vote, to Google for chances of winning the hand of this dame. Assuming the current Web 2.0 party continues, I will bet on an offer above $250 million[5].
Talking of Web 2.0, as you have probably noticed this site still needs to catch up. To leave comments on this article, I have started a thread on our forums.
[1] Several blogs in January 2006, e.g. Yahoo Will Buy Digg - Announcement Early Next Week
[2] Kevin Rose's Blog on Feb 1st, 2007. A Couple Updates...
[3] Guesstimate based on their reaching of 500,000 registered users mark in mid-2006. Great news for digg!
[4] Sightings of users offering $1 per digg (e.g. Digg my site, $1 per digg, takes 30secs) and services like User/Submitter
[5] Note the deep technical analysis before coming up with that number :)

Utility Says Nearly Half Of South Jersey Customers Restored
Atlantic City Electric says they have restored power to nearly half of the 206,000 customers who lost power during the violent thunderstorms early Saturday morning.
As of 3PM on Monday the Atlantic City Electric outage map shows just over 92,000 customers still without power, the most being in Atlantic, Salem & Cumberland counties.
Atlantic City Electric spokesman Matt Likovich says right now "the problem spots at this time are Atlantic County, where there are 67,000 customers without power, Cumberland County with about 23,000 and Salem County about 8300 without service. Our goal right now is to have the majority of customers back in service by sometime on July 4th – and then there could be some pockets of smaller, isolated outages – where those customers will not see service again until Thursday or Friday of this week."
He says the thunderstorms that caused the outages were very violent, because "we saw evidence of trees literally shearing off the tops of our utility poles and then crashing down onto them poles, snapping them in two…right now we have assistance from New York utilities and Northern New Jersey, and we just got word this morning that PSE + G in Central Jersey is sending us 130 employees…crews and office employees – all available personnel – all hands on deck – are working round the clock to get power restored to our customers."
The path of destruction left behind is described as worse than Hurricane Irene last summer. Two boys in Salem County died when a pine tree fell on their tent in Salem County.
PREVIOUS: Violent Thunderstorms Damage South Jersey
Cooling centers have been set up for Monday at the following locations:
- Absecon – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School -
- Brigantine Community Center will be open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m
- Linwood City Hall
- Alder Avenue School in Egg Harbor Township will open at noon.
- Galloway Township Middle School on Reeds Road is open and is acting as a shelter
- All branches of the Atlantic County Library system
No animals can be brought to the shelter.
The Hamilton Mall will be a distribution point ice from 2PM-8PM. Each car will be given 1 bag of ice (40 lbs) and 1 case of water (24 bottles).
The length of the outage has raised concern on a number of fronts. The Atlantic County Public Safety office says food that has been in freezers and refrigerators without power since Saturday has likely gone bad and should be disposed of.
Meanwhile, the New Jersey Department of Public Health tells Jersey Shore Hurricane News that farms without power and rely on well water to feed their animals may not be able to do so. The state Office of Emergency Management suggests contacting your county office to arrange for a generator.
Many farms rely on well water and without electricity or a generator hooked to the well pump, they will be unable to meet their animals' needs. A single horse or cow in the summer heat could easily consume over 50 gallons of water in a 24 hour period. Previously during extended power outages when generators were unobtainable or the farmers could not keep up with generator fuel needs, County Animal Response Teams (CART) and County Offices of Emergency Management (OEM) were able to coordinate with local fire departments to have tankers deliver water to farms.
Pet owners without air conditioning should make sure their dogs, cats and other furry pets are staying cool and have plenty of fresh cool water to drink.
New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs today issued a statement warning merchants that price gouging is prohibited during the states of emergency "During life-threatening emergencies, New Jerseyans should look out for each other – not seek to take advantage of each other," Chiesa said. "We will look closely at any and all complaints about alleged price gouging. Anyone found to have violated the law will face significant penalties."
Violations of the price-gouging law are punishable by civil penalties of up to $10,000 for the first offense and $20,000 for the second and subsequent offenses. Each individual sale of merchandise is considered a separate and distinct event.
The Public Safety Office is gathering information on property damage in order to better qualify for federal disaster relief money. There is a form on their website to complete.
Atlantic City Electric Safety Precautions
Stay away from downed wires. Call 1-800-833-7476 and follow the prompts to report a downed wire or an outage.
Avoid crews working in the street. This will keep you and the crews safe, and allow them to work on restoring your power.
Visit atlanticcityelectric.com for safety tips and follow the advice of your local emergency management officials.
If you plan to use a portable generator, follow the manufacturer's instructions and use only when necessary. Don't overload it and turn it off at night, while you sleep and when you are away from home.
Locate a portable generator in a well-ventilated area. Never run it inside, even in your garage, to avoid the potential hazard of carbon monoxide. Do not connect the generator directly into your home's main fuse box or circuit panel.
Protect food and refrigerated medicine with regular ice in an insulated cooler. If you are without power for more than two hours, refrigerated foods should be placed in a cooler. Foods will stay frozen for 36 to 48 hours in a fully loaded freezer if the door remains closed, and a half-full freezer will generally keep frozen food for up to 24 hours.
Turn off power to flood-prone basement appliances if it is safe to do so. However, if you have an electrically operated sump pump, you should not turn off the power in your basement.
Tune in to local news broadcasts for the latest weather and emergency information.
Take cover if necessary

Healthcare: Service Delivery Reform
Consistent with the national healthcare reform agenda, the Foundation strives to improve quality, enhance outcomes, and reduce the costs of New Jersey's healthcare services. Achieving this aim is particularly important for the State's vulnerable populations, who often lack timely access to healthcare providers and experience fragmented and uncoordinated care.
The projects we fund are helping safety-net providers develop new and improved ways to deliver accessible, coordinated, and patient-centered primary and specialty care. For example, we are supporting:
- A model of guided practice, called Project ECHO for Pain Management, that uses telecommunications technology and case-based learning to foster mentoring partnerships between specialists and primary care providers. The model enhances the ability of primary care providers to provide comprehensive, best-practice care to underserved patients with chronic pain, which can help improve health outcomes and reduce expensive hospital care.
- A randomized controlled study evaluating the impact of adding a pharmacist to the primary care team caring for patients with diabetes at a Federally Qualified Health Center located in Trenton.
Integrating Behavioral Health within Primary Care
The projects we fund address another pressing problem—the need to better integrate physical and behavioral healthcare. Behavioral healthcare refers to both substance misuse and mental health treatment. This issue is especially acute for Medicaid populations with chronic conditions, where the prevalence of behavioral health conditions is more than twice that of the general population.
Traditionally, behavioral healthcare has been separated from the medical care delivery system. This lack of integration has led to poorer health outcomes and higher costs. Primary care providers are often the provider of choice for individuals with behavioral healthcare needs. We are helping primary care clinics enhance their capacity to identify, diagnose, and treat behavioral health conditions that can be effectively and appropriately treated within the primary care setting. We also are helping to ameliorate the regulatory and fiscal barriers that impede integrated care. For example, we are funding:
- The addition of behavioral health providers within primary care.
- Access to screening and evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy using computerized web-based applications available to patients at primary care sites and in their homes.
- A briefing paper analyzing the legal, policy, fiscal, and regulatory barriers that hinder the integration of behavioral health care and primary care services for Medicaid recipients.
For additional information about behavioral health integration, visit the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research's Academy for Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care website. The Academy provides a range of useful tools, including two resources on healthcare workforce practices for successful integration of behavioral and primary care.
Fostering Innovation Within Healthcare
The Foundation also is exploring new strategies that better meet the needs of the underserved and can be brought to scale to transform the healthcare delivery system. We are doing this through projects designed specifically to stimulate innovation among safety-net health care institutions. These projects aim to help healthcare systems test new models and approaches that can improve care delivery and lower costs of care for vulnerable and underserved populations. For example, we are funding:
- The development of a new outpatient multi-specialty healthcare delivery model. This model features coordinated, team-based primary and specialty care; group visits, which allows team members to treat and educate multiple patients simultaneously; and open access scheduling, which improves access to timely care. The model features techniques used in other sectors to improve quality and reduce costs, including consistent use of standard protocols, task shifting from physicians to less specialized health workers, and development of easy-to-read data dashboards to track performance.
- Teams from nine safety-net healthcare organizations to learn techniques that promote innovation by transforming their approach to problem solving. The teams receive training in human-centered design and individually work with innovation coaches to develop a solution for an identified challenge at their organization. The teams also create an implementation plan to carry out the solution.
- A project, in collaboration with the New Jersey Health Foundation, to develop and implement an Innovation Grants Program that supports eight researchers at four New Jersey universities to advance promising early stage healthcare treatments and technologies. The grantees will be given a year to hone their ideas and implement their projects. They will be given strategic assistance to support the incubation of market-based solutions to improve healthcare for vulnerable populations.

Nizhny Novgorod (Russian: Ни́жний Но́вгород), colloquially shortened as Nizhny, is the fourth largest city of Russia, ranking after Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novosibirsk. Population: 1,297,600 (2005). It is the economic and cultural center of the vast Volga-Vyatka economic region, and also the administrative center of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and Volga Federal District.
From 1932 to 1990 the city was known as Gorky (Го́рький), named after the writer Maxim Gorky. After the fall of Soviet Union, the old name was brought back.

If you are planning to spend in Russia more than several days and you are going to communicate with your Russian colleagues by mobile (and send SMS to your home country) it would be reasonable not to spend on roaming and to buy a local SIM-card. There are five GSM networks in the city: three major Russian mobile networks ("big three": MTS, Beeline and Megafon), Tele 2 and NSS (HCC). Also there is a network working in AMPS/DAMPS standard and there was one in NMT-450 (not sure if it's still there). The prepaid tariffs are more or less the same in all GSM networks. A SIM-card can be purchased in numerous shops, kiosks, and special salons. Usually it costs you just to pay some 3 or 4$ for your future calls.
However if you come to Nizhny Novgorod with a SIM-card bought in Moscow or St.Petersburg be aware that you will be charged higher prices for your calls since providers consider this as inner-Russian roaming (basically the country is divided in several huge roaming zones). Mobile numbers registered in Nizhny Novgorod are of the Volga region zone.
There are payphones in the streets however you can buy phonecards only in the post-offices and in few newspaper kiosks.
There are several wi-fi spots for free internet access in the city. For example, there is wi-fi coverage in "Shokolad" (Chocolade) shopping-mall in Belinsky Str.

I used Xsplit when I was streaming to twitch. It is very good, but i've stop paying for it as I wasnt using it, and the nvida stuff is free and works for what I want to do now.
Game "recording" software advice, please
Tried it, the export works. I can not get the transitions to work properly. Weird lag issues on playback and sound corruption. I have been using lightworks for editing but free will only do 720p 60
i have dabbled with xplit has jes and hammy have said but i have also used OBS and thats very good for recording and streaming
i use shadowplay, and then re-encode with imovie, but all i'm doing is cropping and changing the resolution when i do that.
Most stuff is just stored on my desktop at 3440x1440 at 60fps but at a modest bit-rate to keep the file size down.
shadowplay was the easiest option, my only gripe being it won't let me use my push to talk button as push to talk.
I've only used Fraps and OBS, but can recommend both.
Pretty sure it was Shadowplay that a friend used to record something we were playing before, and that seemed to work pretty well too.

Well with just 4 matches to go it is likely RSL will make the playoffs, but over the last 5 matches there have been a lot more questions than answers. 2-1-2 in those last 5 matches with a home loss to Houston last weekend and RSL has simply looked anemic on offense and that leaves any simple mistake on defense as a point costing one. The injury report for RSL has both Yura and Joao listed as questionable, but we may see the return of Javier Morales, so the task of beating league leaders FC Dallas gets even more difficult.
While the loss to Houston was the first home loss of the season, RSL's 8 home wins is tied for the lowest number of home wins of any Western Conference team that is above the red line at this point of the season, tied with LA. FC Dallas has a conference leading 5 road wins to go with their 10-1-4 home record and are the only team heading into Saturday to have secured a playoff spot already. So can RSL derail their goal to win the supporters' shield?
To win this one, RSL will need to score first, FCD is 12-0-2 when they score first and just 3-8-4 when they allow the first goal. The FCD defense isn't much better than RSL's, they have 39 goals allowed vs RSL's 42, and even their offense isn't a lot better with 47 goals scored to RSL's 42. When Dallas is good, they are really good, in 17 of their matches they have scored 2 or more goals, which when combined with 9 clean sheets explains why their record is so good. RSL has scored 2 or more goals 15 times, but with just 4 clean sheet it has been hard to get wins instead of draws. That goes a long way to explain why FCD has 3 more wins and 2 fewer loses than RSL. What will the keys be on Saturday? Read more

The Archduke, his wife, and three other dignitaries were driving in the open top limousine, Princip stepped in front of the car and started shooting, killing The Archduke and his wife on June 28th 1914, and so legend has it, that a curse was placed upon the car in which Franz Ferdinand died.
The car fell into the ownership of one the tragedies survivors, General Potiorek. Several weeks into the war between Austria and Serbia, General Potiorek's army suffered terrible losses, he was recalled to Vienna to face Emperor Franz Josef I, who, along with other dignitaries looked down upon the Generals losses and stripped him of his rank. This led the General into a severe bout of depression, which in turn led to an early death.
The next owner of the vehicle was a Captain on General Potioreks staff, he had possession of the car for a brief nine days before he had a terrible accident, hitting two peasants and driving the car into a tree, which broke his neck.
The next person to own the car was the Governor of Yugoslavia, who it is reported suffered four horrendous accidents in a period of four months, which eventually left him an amputee, losing one of his arms in the last accident.
It is said the Governor sold the car to a local doctor, who met his fate when he was driving and flipped the open-topped car, causing him to be crushed underneath.
A diamond dealer named Simon Mantharides was also an owner of the notorious car, he too died after an accident.
The car was then purchased by a Swiss race driver, who was catapulted from the car whilst driving it, causing his death upon impact.
The next to own the car was a Serbian farmer. The car failed to start one day, so the quick-thinking farmer decided to tow it with his horse and cart, he forgets to turn off the ignition key, and eventually, the engine turned over, lunging the car forward into the cart, which overturned and killed the farmer.
The last known victim of the cursed car was one Tibor Hirshfield, a garage owner, who, returning from a wedding, crashed the car and killed himself and all his passengers.
The car was eventually purchased and placed in a museum in Vienna, where it sits to this day, undriven for many years

Late bucket by Ross lifts Wadena-DC
Everyone in the Henning High School gymnasium knew who was going to get the ball, it was a matter of how they were planning on getting Noah Ross the ball. The Wolverines just watched the Hornets go on a 6-0 run to take a 59-58 lead in a matter of seconds. The Wolverines drew up a sideline inbounds play that led to a lob for Ross, who finished at the hoop, drew the foul and sank the Hornets hopes of a home win, helping Wadena-DC pick up a 61-59 victory.
"It was a really good play," Ross said. "It was drawn up by our coaches. Bereket Loer was going off on a screen set by Hunter Hawkins and we were going to divert their attention to shooting a 3-pointer there. I came behind and got a screen from Hawkins, enough for the lob to be put up and I finished."
However, the Wolverines still needed to get one final stop. The Wolverines spent much of the game in a 3-2 zone, which the Hornets had success shooting over at times, hitting 11 3-pointers, eight in the first half, but the Wolverines switched for the final possession. The Hornets were unable to get a shot off, throwing the ball away just seconds before the clock ran out.
"I have to thank another assistant, we switched from zone defense to man defense. We were in zone all night and right away their coach was hollering option two," Wadena-DC head coach Kevin Tumberg said. "We knew the switch was good for us and the fellas locked down and got the big stop at the end."
Noah Ross led all scorers with 18 points and eight rebounds. He hit five of seven from the free throw line, including the one that gave the Wolverines the 2-point edge.
"It was a grind. We knew coming in that they were a good team and they were going to be pesky," Ross said. "We knew we had to grind out a win and it wasn't going to be easy, but we pulled it off."
The Wolverines received a big boost with the return of Bereket Loer to the line up. He was out with an ankle injury and his return helped spark the offense. He finished with 17 points, hitting five 3-pointers. Loer came down hard on his ankle in the second half, but returned to the line up after sitting out just a couple of minutes.
"The (doctors) told him it would hurt a little bit, but you won't do anything worse to it," Tumberg said. "I think he finally came down hard since hurting it and realized that it was no worse, that it's just a little sore. He was able to come back and finish strong."
Ryan Anderson's play inside was key as well for the Wolverines. The forward finished with 14 points, while grabbing eight rebounds. Tumberg said they need that type of play from him going forward if they want to win the Park Region Conference and to make a run in the Section 8AA playoffs.
Sam Fisher led a balanced Henning attack with 10 points. Blake Wallevand added nine points, while Blaine Wallevand and Lee Bjorklund finished with eight points each. The Hornets hit eight 3-pointers in the first half, building a 38-34 lead. They finished connecting on 11 of their 28 attempts from beyond the arc.
The Wolverines improve to 8-1 in the Park Region Conference. They are 10-7 overall on the season. They have another key conference game looming with Pillager on Monday, Feb. 5. Pillager defeated Wadena-DC earlier in the season and is a game back in the loss column of the Wolverines.

Craft Project - Paper Illusion Picture Frame
Here's what you need to get started:
Use a thin, inexpensive frame and cover the inner mat, or create a more dramatic piece by covering a frame that has a broader outside area.
If covering the outside of the frame, select one that has a wider area to cover.
A craft store that carries paper mach� products is an excellent place to find an inexpensive frame that has a wider "coverable" edge.
If the outside edge of the frame is narrow, then consider creating your own PaperIllusion-covered mat to place within the frame.
Covering A Frame:
Covering A Mat:
Protecting The PaperIllusion Surface:
There is no need to add a protective coating to the PaperIllusion surface unless the frame will be in an area that will receive frequent handling or if you want the surface to shine.
If desired, you may coat the PaperIllusion surface with two coats of water-based urethane, which can be purchased at a local paint or hardware store. The urethane finish will accent the torn edges.
Use these instructions as a guideline for a variety of other decorating craft projects.
Just use your imagination and some PaperIllusion to create many beautiful decorative accessories.

The craft brew train kept on rolling in 2013 as production from the country's smallest beer makers grew 18 percent, according to data released today by the Brewers Association (BA).
As part of its annual report on the U.S. craft beer industry, the BA — which represents the interests of small and independent brewers — today announced that consumers spent an estimated $14.3 billion on craft beer last year, up 20 percent from the $11.9 billion spent in 2012.
Craft production volumes also accelerated in 2013, to 15.6 million barrels. That's up from the 13.2 million barrels of beer the craft brewers made in 2012, representing 7.8 percent of the total beer market.
"With this stellar year, craft has now averaged 10.9 percent growth over the last decade," noted BA staff economist Bart Watson in a press statement.
With craft's current pace of growth — as well as a much-discussed revision of the BA's definition of craft brewer — Watson said he believes 2014 will be the year that BA-defined 'craft beer' finally captures 10 percent of total beer volumes.
"Given the first two months of scan data, I would say it is likely," Watson said, pointing to reports from Nielsen, GuestSciences and IRI.
IRI recently pegged craft volumes in multi-outlet and convenience channels as being up 20 percent through Feb. 23.
Additionally, today's press release highlighted the number of brewery openings in 2013. The BA counted 413 openings and just 44 closings, bringing the total number of U.S. craft breweries to 2,768, a 15 percent increase over 2012.
The BA has made changes to its reporting system over the past year, the result of bringing a staff economist on board. At this time last year, the BA had originally reported that drinkers had spent about $10 billion on craft beer.
"We had been underestimating what was being sold on-premise," Watson said. "We now use a more rigorous method of estimating and take a more detailed look into the channels and pricing to have a better sense of craft's retail value."
More information is included in the full press statement.

Every time I create a wonderful piece of jewelery, a heap of precious metal remains.
Too expensive to throw it away; Too big to melt. And at all, maybe I still need that!
Every time I visit a trade fair or a stone merchant, the hunter and collector awakens in me.
There are so wonderful stones and stone chains. And immediately something comes to mind, which I can work from it.
But later in the workshop, I am certainly missing a completely different stone, which fits the latest piece of jewelery.
Not every time, but often enough, a piece of jewelry remains unfinished.
I call it "Lost Pieces" - in line with the "Lost Places". They share the fate of the abandoned houses: Once designed with enthusiasm and animated with passion to a workpiece, is somewhere and sometime drained the life out of the metal.
Something is missing, perhaps a last piece of material, which is not in stock. Or the final touch, a suitable idea for the complete piece. Or just the right - the matching stone.
And really, it looks like this in every jewelry workshop. Although - probably everyone who works creatively will now say: I have such collections, too.
The Etsy Metal Team is facing the challenge this year again:
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
It´s an individual challenge. There are no other rules. Everyone decides what works for him.
I will try to create 52 projects. One for each week.
Finished pieces can be found under the hashtag #3xr and 3xr2017 on Instagram and Co. Visit our group account.
What has accumulated with you? Write in the comments how you want to process these treasures this year.

There is so much going on in the garden now that its impossible to keep up with it - enter Leanne. Leanne is the answer to a garden prayer. Our garden has always been hit and miss being that neither of us had much garden experience beyond weeding and mowing the lawn. Everything else had to be learned through reading and trial and error. Which is why it is wonderful to finally have someone to work in the garden who actually knows the right way to prune a rose.
The laburnums are in full bloom and after today's wind storm are looking a little beaten up.
The first rose of the season has bloomed - it is a David Austin rose called 'iceberg' which started it's life white and has morphed into a pink - I guess that is appropriate considering it lives at pink rose cottage.
And lastly here is the prized rhubarb plant which was planted three years ago and has given us our first home-made rhubarb recipes within the last few weeks. Let's see - there has been, rhubarb muffins, strawberry & rhubarb crumble and three batches of strawberry rhubarb compote. Let me tell you that this compote on a wee bit of greek or balkan style plain yogurt is quite a treat - I've been eating it every day.
Rhubarb & Strawberry Compote
5 C chopped rhubarb
3 C strawberries halved or quartered
2/3 C sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 slices orange
prepare fruit and combine in saucepan along with sugar and lemon juice. Let come to a simmer on med. heat and then turn down to low heat and simmer about 20 min. Will keep in the fridge for about a week - if your family doesn't devour it before then.

Disaster Recovery
When it comes to back up solutions IT Partners takes a multi-tiered approach. We use a range of options from offsite daily data backups to 6 monthly full system backups to reduce the risk of data loss and business downtime. Whether it's a simple file restore to a full system restore we've got your back – and your backup.
IT Disaster Recovery services
Studies show that half of businesses never completely recover from catastrophic data loss. Whether you require email archiving, data recovery or a complete system regeneration, as part of our IT solutions, we offer a comprehensive range of IT Disaster Recovery services. These minimise downtime and disruption to your business when disaster strikes.
We can develop a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan for your business that guarantees your reliance on technology doesn't turn you into a statistic through data and systems loss. This plan will incorporate proactive planning and responsiveness – two key elements to effective disaster recovery.
IT Backup
Whatever your business, reliable and effective backup procedures are critical. Our daily monitoring service ensures first level data safety with a full system backup every six months. This allows us to archive a more complete image of your computer. We also employ this as a safety measure before undertaking any major work to your system. What's more, we take an hourly snapshot of changes and additions to your system so both system and data recovery is much faster.
Offsite Backup Storage
While a reliable backup procedure is critical, where and how your backups are stored is just as important. We can't emphasise enough how important it is to keep this backup offsite. At IT Partners we provide offsite backup storage to ensure your business is covered in the event of burglary, fire, flood or any other catastrophic event.
Customised Contingency Solutions
To ensure your most critical business data is safe, your backup is watertight – literally. We partner with business continuity specialists, Plan-b, to create a customised solution for your business. This will incorporate stringent emergency recovery strategies in the event of a disaster.
