Article written by Allyson, a graduate student in the dual MAAA/MPA program at SPEA. During the academic year Allyson serves as a Graduate Assistant at the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation and as a Teaching Assistant for Professor Wilkerson. She is currently interning with Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art in Nashville, TN.
I am in my 7th week at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art in Nashville and my experience continues to be chalk full of wonderful learning experiences! One of my more recent short-term projects was analyzing donor data from the past three years to find what some of the trends were for the annual giving society. It was really interesting to see the organization from this perspective and compare giving trends with different activities and fundraising efforts.
Another project I am helping with is the annual family benefit, Fall for Cheekwood. This is a fall festival event to engage donor families and raise money for youth educational programming.
The event was voted to be one of the best family events in Nashville last year and the planning for this year's event is already off to a great start! I am really excited to see how everything comes together for the event in September and hope to come back and visit for the event.

A Tarrant County registered sex offender is headed back to prison after a jury found him guilty of assaulting two Weatherford police officers — biting one of them — while he was being arrested for possession of methamphetamine in October.
The Parker County jury sentenced Bryan K. Hernandez, 39, of Sansom Park on Wednesday to 20 years in prison and assessed a $5,000 fine on each assault case. Hernandez pleaded guilty to possession of less than a gram of methamphetamine, for which jurors sentenced him to two years in prison and assessed a $10,000 fine.
The sentences will be served concurrently.
Hernandez will be eligible for parole when he serves a quarter of his sentence, prosecutors said.

"People say, 'We back the blue,' all the time," said Parker County Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain, who prosecuted the case along with Assistant District Attorney Susan Pruett. "Rarely, however, do people get the opportunity to actually do anything about it, to show those who protect us that we will also protect them."
Hernandez was pulled over in October at an Interstate 20 exit after police received reports of a vehicle speeding up and down and weaving shoulder to shoulder, according to trial testimony and police video.
After being stopped, Hernandez told the officers he was coming down from methamphetamine and kept falling asleep.
Hernandez passed a sobriety test but told officers there were marijuana and methamphetamine pipes in the vehicle. Officers found the pipes and a bag containing a small amount of methamphetamine in the vehicle.
Hernandez, described by prosecutors as a 300-pound powerlifter, threw officers to the ground when they tried to arrest him and bit one of them in the hand when they finally got him down, Swain said.
During the punishment phase of the trial, prosecutors told jurors that Hernandez had convictions and prison sentences for sexual assault of 15-year-old girl, indecency with a child and failure to register as a sex offender.

There will be blood if you hold bonds or bond funds through a cycle of rising interest rates.
Frankly, so what? Long-term investors will make out fine with bonds if they hold through the rising rates that hurt bonds and the falling rates that help. All the while, bonds will pay a reliable flow of interest and act as a cushion if stocks should tank.
But it's becoming clear there's a class of investor who has no interest in participating in a down period for bonds. The worst mistake these people can make is substituting stocks for bonds. A much better solution is to use a ladder of guaranteed investment certificates instead of bonds.
GICs may not be cashable before maturity unless you pay a significant penalty, so don't use them if you need the liquidity you get with bonds and bond funds. But if you're willing to lock in money, a GIC ladder can produce comparable or better returns than bonds and bond funds, with far less drama.
Because GICs aren't listed for trading, unlike bonds and stocks, they don't fluctuate in price on your quarterly or monthly investment statements. Emotionally, this is a major plus for investors who dread seeing losses on the fixed-income side of their portfolio.
Many online brokerage firms offer a wide selection of third-party GICs and many advisers do as well. Here's a five-year GIC ladder I built from the online inventory at one particular broker, which include: One-year: Bank of Nova Scotia at 2.05 per cent; Two-year: B2B Bank at 2.35 per cent; Three-year: Home Trust at 2.63 per cent; Four-year: VersaBank at 2.67 per cent; Five-year: Manulife Trust at 2.8 per cent.
The average yield for this ladder is 2.5 per cent, which compares with an after-fee weighted average yield to maturity of 1.85 per cent for a popular bond ETF that replicates a five-year ladder of government bonds.
Some advisers suggest using a three-year ladder instead of a five-year version because the reward in extra yield from locking in money for four- and five-year terms is modest. If you build a ladder using just the one- through three-year GICs listed above, your average yield would be 2.35 per cent.
Maintaining a GIC ladder is supereasy - just replace all maturing deposits with a new one at a five-year term (or with a three-year term in the case of the three-year ladder). Each renewal allows you to capitalize on higher rates, while also limiting the amount you must renew if rates fall. Bonds and bond ETFs still have a role in portfolios, but the GIC ladder is a no-drama alternative.

Isn't she beautiful! Today my baby girl turned 13!!! I can't believe I am now the mother of a teenager. Wow, the time has gone so fast and she is just growing up far too quickly. We have been blessed with such a beautiful daughter and she has been nothing but a joy to us since she was born. And I mean since she was born; the 26 hour labour was the worst .. and we have been cruising along ever since.
To celebrate I took her out to lunch with some friends and then had a cake (chocolate mudcake from the cheesecake shop - yum!). Unfortunately Daddy is out of town but us girls made the most of it and had a wonderful time. She was really pleased with her presents which included an iPod, a docking station, a book, hairdryer, handbag, Pandora bracelet (from her grandmother), journal, pen, and some other cool stationery from Smiggle - her favourite stationery shop.
Here are a few pics that we took today. Happy Birthday baby! I love you xxx

"Daddy Loves Poop" is Disturbing Out of Context
It's astounding how nostalgia can turn feces into gold. Voltron is flat out unwatchable, as are many of the '80s toy based cartoons. My kid has WAAAY better cartoons to watch than I did when I was his age.
This here though is undeniably awesome at any age: kung fu kick volleyball!

The Five Best Bachelorette Party Supplies for the Dick Lover
In the sad olden days—in like 2014 when your older sister got married—cock options in the bachelorette party supplies marketplace were limited. It was a wasteland, a world of cock redundancy. Every bachelorette party was the same, a parade of women chortling while dick straws clanked around in their cocktails. Dick straws had the game on lock.
But the game has thickened—sorry, dick straws. Bridesmaids gathering bachelorette party supplies are now inundated by cock options, but you can't invite every cock to the party. Selecting the right cock gifts can be overwhelming. Luckily, we're here to help with a list of cock must-haves for all the bridesmaids out there looking to put on the perfect bachelorette party.
Studies have shown (they haven't) that 95% of brides enjoy the following: cocks, chocolate and gifts in the mail. So before the party kicks off, send your girl a delicious chocolate dick in the mail from Dick At Your Door. When she opens the elegant packaging and finds that chocolate dick staring back at her, she'll know she's truly loved.
While this new universe of cock gag gifts is ever expanding, your girl's actual cock world is about to be reduced to one. So why not remind her by unfurling a Same Penis Forever banner at her bachelorette party? That way she won't be able to forget that when it comes to cocks, she's down to one (unless, you know, some modifications are made to the marriage).
As that pre-party gets underway, why not get to work on some cock art with a Just Cocks Coloring Book? With 25 pages of cocks, each member of your bachelorette party can color a cock and come away from the party with a cock keepsake—each page is designed for easy removal and framing; these cocks are forever.
Captain Pecker, The Party Wrecker is six feet of inflatable party cock. That's a tremendous amount of cock. Blown to capacity, fully engorged (and this might take a minute) this cock is no joke (actually, it's totally a joke). Take him barhopping or let him chill in the pool, just don't stick him with anything sharp.
Don't think we're opposed to cock garnishment for cocktails. You gotta keep those drinks cold, ladies, so why not dunk a frozen dick (or dicks) in that drink, bachelorettes? Get a Penis Ice Tray, get those molds in the freezer, and enjoy those drinks on the cock rocks.

I was at lunch and the cashier told the woman in front of me that her card wasn't going through, did she have cash? Another card? And the woman got all upset, started talking about always paying her bills on time, never having a card declined, this and that. The guy just shrugged and said it had been declined. And it was this incredibly personal thing for the woman, like her whole worth at that moment came down to that card going through. I was thinking, get off it lady, just give the man cash. But then my card got declined too.
Most things exhaust me. There is hardly anything better than a quiet night in my apartment with my wife. People expect things.
I used to think being an introvert was a bad thing. Like one day I was supposed to snap out of it.
I once knew this guy who was super charismatic, outgoing. Everyone liked him. He could make people laugh, could plan parties like he wasn't even trying. One day I was talking to a friend about him, about what a great guy he was, and my friend said, "I actually can't stand him," and I said, "Me neither."
And it's not that I don't believe in God. I do. But I tune out the moment someone starts quoting scripture.
If there's anything I want to understand, it's not heaven, it's earth. If there's anything that interests me, it's not God, it's people. Let's not pretend we've been given more than we have.

Rogowski Coils
Aim Dynamics offers a wide variety of Rogowski coil products. If you're not familiar with Rogowski coils think of them as flexible rope current sensors – they're much more convenient to install, they're lightweight, they don't saturate, and they have a nice linear output. Aim Dynamics is one of the largest Rogowski Coil Suppliers in the Americas.
To help you find what you're looking for, we've broken Rogowski coils down into these categories:
333 mV Output. These coils output 333 mVac at the rated current you select, e.g. 2000A/333mV. They have an integrator that "fixes" the phase shift caused by a Rogowski coil in addition to amplifying the output. The integrator must be separately powered.
5 Amp Output. These Rogowski coils output 5 Aac at the rated current you select. These Rogowski coils connect to an amplifier that must be powered. The amplifying unit corrects the phase shift caused naturally by a Rogowski coil.
4-20 mA Output. These coils output 4-20 mA (4 mA at 0A and 20 mA at the rated current). The integrator is powered by the DC loop – the phase shift is corrected by the integrator.
Native Output. Rogowski coils shift the phase of the output signal 90 degrees, and must be accounted for by the metering device (unless you buy one of the corrected outputs described above). With a native output, expect to see a relatively low Vac output for every 1000A on the primary. Native output Rogowski coils are less expensive than the above options. Note that Measurlogic and eGauge meters can handle native output Rogowski coils (Measurlogic requires the unit to be ordered specially).

Watch The BFG
"The world is more giant than you can imagine."
Sophie is a lonely little girl until the 10-year-old meets the BFG, short for Big Friendly Giant. Though he looks rather startling, he is an extremely gentle soul who is smaller than his fellow giants. His chief distinguishing characteristic is his refusal to eat children, which are a popular delicacy among his brethren. The giant, who spends his nights filling children's heads with fantastical and beautiful dreams, whisks Sophie off on a marvelous and dangerous adventure. With her help, he hopes to convince the Queen of England to outlaw the vicious kid-eating giants from the country once and for all.

How Getting My ADHD Diagnosis as an Adult Changed My Life
"Shannon, clean your room," was my mother's mantra when I was growing up. She told me this so often that if we had a parrot, it would have latched onto the phrase within weeks. My room was (and occasionally still is) very messy. It was never dirty, but my possessions always found their way to my floor. Clothes were strewn across the room, both clean and dirty, and only a sniff could determine what was wearable. My collection of books would be piled in corners (or occasionally in the middle of the room) despite the lonely bookcase in the corner that had become a residence for partially filled water glasses and empty water bottles.
As my room got messier, the mess would slowly trickle to other parts of the house. When this happened, my mom would help me clean my room, she would provide direction and motivation, but I would often become distracted by a book or my long forgotten rock collection. Insistent that the room get clean, my mom would remind me to keep working. Despite how much I wanted to keep my room clean, my efforts were fruitless and within days, if not hours, my room would be in shambles again. My dad would sometimes come into my room and exclaim "Hurricane Shannon hit again!"
Feeling overwhelmed by a task and not knowing where to start is a common obstacle faced by those of us with ADHD. Not having been tested or diagnosed until I was in my 20s, situations like this often left me feeling foolish and incapable. My self-esteem was low and I wondered why I failed to keep up with the most basic tasks time and time again. My intelligence masked my ADHD as a child, and up until grad school my tactic of putting myself under extreme pressure by procrastinating until the last minute worked. When it stopped working and my grades began to slip significantly, I repeatedly asked my therapist to initiate the testing process for ADHD. Already struggling with severe depression, anxiety and an eating disorder, he resisted my pleas until I was stable enough that my other problems wouldn't affect the test.
Once I had finished the testing process and received a diagnosis, my psychiatrist placed me on ADHD meds. Some effects were noticeable immediately, such as improved focus, the ability to direct my focus on my choice of tasks and finally being able to keep up with my brain. After a few weeks there were also improvements in other aspects of my life. My mood was more stable, I had a more positive outlook, I was sleeping better and on a consistent schedule, and my family and friends applauded my ability to stay on topic during conversations.
I would love to say the medication was magic and everything was fixed by one pill, but that would be disingenuous. My life improved with the addition of medication, but therapy helped tremendously as well. I still have trouble with mild depression and anxiety, and I still find guilt and shame popping up when I fail to do something I "should" be able to do. I grieve the lost opportunities I could have had if I had gotten diagnosed earlier, and it is hard to let go of the "what ifs" and "if onlys" that sometimes keep me up at night.
I don't see my ADHD as a gift because to me it isn't one, but I can see how my struggle has made me more compassionate and self-aware. The diagnosis gives me a name and a voice for my struggles, and that helps me be a better advocate for myself and others. With therapy, I have learned no one goes through life alone and everyone needs help with something. I have built myself a support system that offers me guidance when I am overwhelmed by a task and don't know where to start. I have a life filled with compassionate friends who reassure me that I am neither lazy nor "stupid" when I cannot complete a task in the same way others might. ADHD will always provide me with mountains to climb, but I know the journey will teach me to be the best version of myself.

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

My head is bloody, but unbowed."

If you are setting up a new warehouse or are simply refitting your current one, you will no doubt be thinking very hard about how to arrange the industrial shelving and racking on your floor. If so, let's take a moment to discuss locker storage.
It would be a mistake to make your industrial locker plans an afterthought, or just choose the cheapest locker for sale on the market. This is not to say that you should opt for the most expensive lockers, but rather that you should put some extra thought into the type of locker cabinet you choose for your warehouse.
A steel locker is, after all, a place where you store expensive tools and materials. A locker cabinet is where your staff members store their valuable belongings, making sure that these items don't litter the floor of your warehouse and jeopardise warehouse safety. This means that a metal locker is important to your business and is an important piece of equipment, even if it is a small locker.
So, how do you go about choosing your locker storage, knowing that it is an important part of your business? Here are a few tips:
How to Choose an Industrial Locker for Your Warehouse
- Think of Quality
When looking for a locker for sale, be sure to contact a supplier with a good reputation for offering top of the range products. A steel locker is exposed to a great deal of wear and tear in an industrial environment so you must make sure you invest in quality. You certainly don't want to have to replace your lockers frequently.
- Consider Safety
Make sure that the locker supplier you use adheres to the safety standards necessary for the industry. After all, you don't want to entrust the safety of your workers and your equipment to weak and flimsy materials.
- How Much Space Do You Have?
Do you have a great deal of space to work with, or will a level of creativity be needed to fit the necessary number of lockers into the space you have? It is important that you find suppliers who can create effective solutions for your requirements, regardless of whether you have big or small locker requirements.
- Make Installation Plans
It is a good idea to find a company that can install and maintain your lockers if necessary. You might be able to cut costs by installing them yourself, but when it comes to warehouse safety, do you really want to?
These are just a few tips on finding the right locker suppliers for your warehouse.

I figured that since we are in the process of exploring our new city of Edmonton, I would share some of our discoveries with you. Recently my in-laws came to town to visit, so we were able to check out a lot of attractions right off the bat.
First up is one of my new favorite places, Fort Edmonton Park. We stumbled across the park during an afternoon of driving around the city. We knew that it was similar to Calgary's Heritage Park, another favorite place of ours, so we thought we'd give it a chance.
Going at the end of the season, we knew that some of the features of the park might not be operating, though we were pleasantly surprised that most everything was up and running the day we went. (The website now says that many of the features are indeed closed for the season).
We first hopped onto a streetcar that took us around the park. We then walked around 1885 Street, 1905 Street and 1920 Street. The time got away from us, and in an attempt to make it to the Midway before closing time, we decided to save the 1846 Fort for another day.
While at the park, we also had lunch in Johnson's Cafe. Though the menu isn't huge, they serve delicious sandwiches and soups at reasonable prices.
Finally, we ended our visit with a few rides and games on the midway. The Ferris wheel wasn't working that day, but we still had lots of fun. Hannah was a big fan of the manually operated merry-go-rounds (that were free to ride!!) and the three of us had a blast riding the beautiful full-sized merry-go-round. I also enjoyed watching the artisans carve new animals in the building just behind the ride.
Free Admission Day this weekend, and they host several events throughout the off-season as well.
Cheers and Happy Exploring!!

Medium-weight with a slightly creamy mouthfeel, it closes with creamy-toast flavors on the long finish. This sparkling wine will have wide appeal: It's big, open and enjoyable.

The Rotable Repairs facility has been host to the CAA to carry out its annual Part 145 audit and once again we have been congratulated on our facilities, processes and quality procedures. All year round our quality team work hard to ensure that we meet and where possible exceed the current and forth coming legislative and procedural requirements set out by EASA and the FAA which has resulted in a positive outcome. We would like to commend the efforts of our quality department who spend all year round enforcing policy which at times feels like a thankless task but comes to fruition during these audits.

Ban on new applications for FAA foreign repair stations
Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA) has launched a new survey to measure the impact of the ban on new foreign repair station certificates. U.S. Congress prohibited the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from acting on foreign repair station certificate applications submitted after 3 August 2008, because the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) had not finalised repair station security rules. The ban is an unprecedented example of punishing the industry for a federal agency's inaction. Reportedly US aviation companies are barred from tapping into rapidly expanding overseas markets, which is hindering job creation and growth in the country.

New WheelScan 5 NDT Inspection Rig
In a drive to increase efficiencies Rotable Repairs and pleased to announce its most recent addition to its NDT department, the WheelScan5. This automated system uses eddy current to detect flaws or damage in aircraft wheels of all sizes. WheelScan enables operators to perform inspections faster without compromising inspection integrity.
Automatic System Increases Speed of Inspection
Aircraft wheels are subject to high level cyclic fatigue, particularly during landing. To ensure the safety of passengers and the aircraft, it is important that the wheels are maintained to the highest standard. Eddy Current wheel inspection is widely accepted throughout the world as a rapid and reliable means of maintaining the integrity of aircraft wheels.
Automatic Rapid Testing
The unit covers the wheel with inspection speeds up to 2 ms-1 (78 inches/second). All inspections are specified with a constant surface speed rather than fixed RPM, allowing the eddy current filters to give the best possible performance, irrespective of the amount of wheel taper. The operator can set up a wide range of helix settings to arrive at the quickest inspection for the required surface coverage. In addition, the stepper motor drives take the probe rapidly to the start of the inspection at up to 150 mms-1 (6 inches/second) to minimize inspection cycle time.

Facility and Capacity Increase
Rotable Repairs today announces the expansion of its Essex based MRO facility. Both the CAA and FAA have given their authorisation to proceed with the development completing our most recent phase of expansion. The development has created new workshop space, storage and removed old office space from the main facility, it has transformed the premises and will allow us meet the growing expectations of the business. By exporting services from our main facility and reconfiguring existing floor space we have created dedicated workshops to significantly increase production capacity.
"Our development will enable us to successfully meet the rapidly growing demand for our products and to better serve our worldwide customer base" says Ray Coley, Managing Director.
The expansion was fuelled by the continued growth witnessed in recent months.
26th April 2011
Reversing the MRO trend
After a period of cut backs, the MRO market is starting to look more robust. Independent MROs like Rotable Repairs have had time to reflect on the markets requirements and refine their processes and services. Today's market is focused on economies of scale, availability and service, SMEs either embrace their customer requirements or face decline. With this in mind, Rotable Repairs have decided to go on the offensive to tackle these subjects head on to provide an individually tailored service to its customers requirements.
To facilitate these changes, a new investment in personnel, infrastructure and capabilities is underway. Several new appointments have been made and vacancies exist for qualified engineers. A review of work processes and planned investment in test equipment, fixtures and IT is allowing the company to facilitate the expansion brought about by the development of Southend Airport and the slow but steady economic recovery.
The new Sales and Marketing Manager, Bryan Croft has high expectations for the business stating "my intention is to build on the company's established reputation and progressive expansion to become first choice provider for aircraft wheel and brake repair". Rotable Repairs specialises in wheels, brakes and hydraulics for commercial, business and military aircraft and has a world-wide customer base.

New Appointment
Rotable Repairs has appointed Bryan Croft as Sales and Marketing Manager. You can contact him by email at as of the 1st April 2011.

For some reason, I've hesitated to write about anything spiritual on my Blog, the biggest reason being my personal development. I find that sometimes I have a hard time expressing my emotions or opinions in writing. I like to hide myself, my take, on a subject through humor or memoirs. It hasn't been easy comparing myself against other writers who seem to take charge and say "THIS is how I feel, and I want you to know why."
But now I am finally ready to get real for once and talk about something dear to my heart, without comparing myself to anyone else.
I speak of moral agency in terms of my being a Latter-Day Saint (Mormon). The quotes I have included come from teachings of the church doctrine, which I support. I've been a member all my life and have discovered the church's truthfulness for myself. That being said, I hope I can enlighten you and share my own experiences on the topic.
Moral agency is really two things in one. It is our freedom to make decisions, and it is the power we have to choose good over evil. Let me break it down further.
Many of life's decisions are simple. For example, last night I planned to wake up early this morning so I could be productive today. I ended up waking to the alarm and going back to sleep, and did not get moving until around 11 AM. Thus, I faced consequences beyond my control which led me to run errands late in the day and feel like I had wasted valuable time. There are, of course, larger decisions we can make. I try to live my life as Christlike as possible, and it means that I make some sacrifices. I do not drink, smoke or participate in activities that would drive away the spirit. I am not saying that I haven't been tempted or that the high standards I set for myself are a terrible burden on me. Living this way is, in fact, a blessing because I know if I were to give in and break my trust with God that I would not be nearly as happy.
Along with agency, we are also given trials in this life. They are for our benefit. The trials test our agency. I especially like this quote, given by a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:
Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion, which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain…. to exercise faith is the trust that the Lord knows what He is doing with you and that He can accomplish it for your eternal good.
–Richard G. Scott
Once again I see that we weren't sent here as perfect beings. Instead, it is up to us to work on our perfection so that we can live and become like Him. Both Elder Todd D. Christofferson and Robert D. Hales' talks go into detail about the greatest example of moral agency: Jesus Christ.
I believe that much of the Lord's power is attributable to the fact that He never wavered in that determination. He had a clear, consistent direction. Whatever the Father desired, Jesus chose to do.
–Elder Todd D. Christofferson
I have seen many blessings come from moral agency. I am responsible for my actions and if I mess up I can fix it. I also don't worry about disappointing anyone but myself. Real power and accomplishment come from making wise choices. If we persevere and choose the right, all things are possible.

When you think about attic insulation, you may think about making sure your home stays warm; but did you know that attic insulation also helps make sure your home stays cool? The attic is where the majority of your cool air escapes during the hotter months and installing insulation in your attic, or upgrading to new, more efficient attic insulation, can help trap the cool air in your home instead of it getting away through the attic. How can attic insulation save you money on energy costs? Attic insulation can also help reduce energy use for your home, which can help save money on your cooling bills. Cost savings changes based on multiple factors, including the resident's habits, if you have a smart thermostat, the type of cooling system installed in your home, etc. Usually, it's estimated families could save up to 20% on energy bills when you add the suggested amount of attic insulation. If you have insulation, you may need to confirm the age and see if it's to the EPA guidelines for energy efficiency. Also, if the product has compressed, it could be less effective. If you're interested in having your attic insulation evaluated, or are thinking about installing new insulation, Climate Control Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning will provide you a no charge attic insulation analysis and discuss your options with you.

If one is to dismantle asbestos components in a home or in a building, these types of jobs are supposed to be carried out only by specialist contractors. With the expertise of a specialist contractor the asbestos problem can be identified, the situation controlled, and the risk to human exposure will be reduced. In other words, is it only a specialist who can control the problem with asbestos dust once it is disturbed or stripped off using specialized dust extraction equipment and suppression techniques so that the impact of asbestos going into your lungs is minimized.
Asbestos is a very deadly compound, yet it is the best material used for insulation. Yet companies that mined asbestos have kept it for decades and endangering hundreds of thousands of Americans who are unaware of its hazard; many of whom perished as a result. But most American homes built in the early nineties are fallen victims when it was first popularized. Today, some of the most well-known companies in the country are lobbying to favor them when they face lawsuits from people who are sick and dying because of their asbestos product. While banned in more than fifty countries, asbestos remains legal and used in the U.S. and the diseases it causes kill up to fifteen thousand Americans each year. Today, mining of asbestos is no longer done in the US, but it is brought in by some countries and is not banned for use in the US; the sad reality is that asbestos has been found in some consumer products and people are not aware of it. To understand more about general contractors, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder.
Always call a professional soft strip demolition service specialist if you want to remove your asbestos insulation if you find them starting to wear and tear or if you want to renovate your space. Before any demotion or refurbishment of the space, the asbestos should be soft stripped by the professional using the proper removal and disposal practices. In order for the asbestos power not to escape in the air, which is very hazardous to those who would be breathing it in, there needs to be careful planning of proper on-site procedures to minimize the hazards. In other words, you need to put the right people to do the work for it is only them who can protect you the most and protect the environment at large. This is because this dust are so lightweight and indestructible; for they are non-bio-degradable.
Asbestos isn't finished yet and they are here to stay for probably another decade because of its usability and its economic value, but unlike before – you can act smartly now. Click here for more information!

Make any night a special night at El Olivo, where the fiesta is on seven days and nights a week. With 20 years of loyal service to the Astoria community, El Olivo is an ideal place to celebrate a romantic Valentine's Day or a family dinner, business dinner, or friendly meal. The secret to El Olivo's success is in the consistently delicious Spanish and continental cuisine, served so elegantly at your tableside by the expert staff. El Olivo is a place I always look forward to going again and again and you will too. Owner Riccardo Aguayo and his lovely daughter Talia welcome everyone like family as you enter near the very festive bar. The barman mixes up cocktails galore and blends the best sangria in Western Queens in my opinion, in both red and white versions.
Besides the consistently excellent menu items, the chef at El Olivo creates nightly specials that are hard to resist. We sampled the fried oysters which were outrageously delicious with their crunchy crust and sweet, tender, briny oyster inside. These will be perfect on Valentine's Day! Fresh mussels were also on the menu, steamed in a garlicky sauce meant to be soaked up by the warm, crusty bread. While I do love specials, I always turn to El Olivo's famous pulpo alla Gallega, from the northwest region of Spain, which is tender octopus stewed until tender with smoky pimento ($13.95). You can have this tender octopus El Olivo-style with tomato and spices too. Shrimp al ajillo are sautéed with lots of garlic and a heavenly sauce ($10.95) for a great appetizer or main course portion with rice. Juicy mushroom caps are filled with crabmeat and breadcrumb stuffing or try the crispy rings of fried calamari. All the aperitivos here are generously sized for sharing and can be ordered at the bar as well to accompany your drinks. The cured Serrano ham and manchego cheese with olives or an order of the golden, house made French fries, sliced thin, and sprinkled with sea salt are great to nibble on over drinks with friends. There are so many wonderful main course options to choose among at El Olivo, including fresh fish and seafood, meat, chicken and rice dishes. The most famous dish of Spain is paella and El Olivo's Paella Valenciana combines chicken, sausage and seafood with lots of saffron-infused rice and peas for a savory, comforting meal that's meant to be shared ($22.95). Paella Marinera is a seafood festival that combines juicy, sweet lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels and scallops all nestled into that delectable rice. The nightly fish special was black sea bass with saffron sauce. This supremely fresh, flaky sea bass was prepared with a very delicate saffron-scented sauce, served with potatoes and fresh vegetables. Red snapper with caper sauce or simply broiled are good choices, as is the whole lobster, served any way. Shrimp or mussels are prepared Creole style with tomatoes, peppers, and onions, while the Mariscado Diablo is a mélange of seafood and lobster in a picante sauce.
The meat special of the evening was a melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon with mushroom sauce that was simply outstanding. My dining companion could not get over the high quality and tenderness of this filet and the sauce was sublime. El Olivo prepares pasta dishes that rival those in any good Italian restaurant, as well as sautéed chicken dishes such as chicken Catalan, Castellana, and Francese with lemon and butter sauce. All dishes are prepared to order, so a little patience will be rewarded with your excellent meal served tableside.
Enjoy a steaming hot Mexican-style coffee with some Kahlua or Tia Maria in it and order one of the decadent desserts. There's cool, creamy flan, frozen crème brulee, spumoni truffle, espresso truffle, frozen chocolate mousse, Boston chocolate cheesecake and pear and apple pie with ice cream. Come for the weekday complete lunch specials served from noon until 3:00 for just $16.50 including salad, main course, beverage and dessert. El Olivo is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and they deliver to your home or office. Hurry while there is still time to make your reservations for a romantic Valentine's Day celebration, or just make any night special with a meal at El Olivo. From their heart to yours, it's siempre rico or always delicious!

The Russell eMini, not only has broken out again to all time profit levels, but it has put together a 10 trade winning streak, back to back to back double digit weekly net gains, and already this week, has posted +30 points without a loss! Not only that, but our runners, the big homerun trailing moves are finally paying off for us. While it is easy to get swept away by the excitement of the release of our brand new SST Simple, and for good reason, we mustn't forget what got us there in the first place. The SST!
The SST continues to prove itself, over and over and over.. Today we broke a big milestone from a total gained points persepective. On one of our main proxy markets, the Russell eMini, we have over 1800 trades now, and we are still holding strong above our 67% overall winning percentage for this market and tradeplan, enduring since April of 2010. And if you know anything at all about trading the Russell eMini, that should cause you to do a double take. It is a challenging market to trade. In 2009, we managed a 400% net of expenses return on the Russell emini with a system that got us a handsome 62% winning percentage. So maintaining a 67% win rate with a Russell emini daytrade plan that minimizes our trading and only requires about 90 minutes per session (worst case scenario an hour longer) is an achievement.
Moreover, with the SST it's really quite easy. Clear entries, stops and targets. A crystal clear tradeplan. A live traderoom with an experienced host (yours truly, Coach Ron and Coach Will) who are willing and able to answer every question in real time and of course, a serious track record that continues to hold its own. And now our tool box just got more formidable with the discoveries we've made that led to our new 'SST Simple' approach. Now we have a complimentary entry level SST 'way to trade.'
Today was a challenging session and presented itself with some significant learning points. We covered each one in detail. Some of the learning points included key level adjustments that turned a losing trade into a +4.5 winner, for the first trade of the day. That very trade also required 'knowing the tradeplan' and being able to respond like one swerving around a pot hole on a bike. No time to think. Only to do. And that's what we did. Taking the time to think about swerving only leads to crashing into the pothole, right? Members of the SST Owner's Club will be able to log into our private Owner's Site and view the video where we discuss exactly what happened, how we handled it, and how we traded ourselves to +14 points in just a couple of trades and a running result for the week currently sitting at + 30 points, as I mentioned above. And at $100 per point, that is an excellent way to spend 90 minutes in the early a.m.
The Russell eMini is not the only star though. Currency traders also had a field day. Once the Greek debacle settled down, the daytrade currencies we follow each and every session put on stellar performances. Crude Oil and Wheat futures also delivered significant gains. All in all, being an SST Trader continues to line our pockets and grow our accounts. We'll be up and at 'em again tomorrow for a brand new SST, Russell eMini, Crude Oil, and Forex daytrade adventure.
Isn't it time you finally join us? You can be on board for the next 100 Russell eMini points.

Sound Check with Bill Coleman
—Written by JC Alvarez
Bill Coleman's influence in dance music spans three decades. Through his music label, Peace Bisquit, he aims to keep the pulse of house beating stronger than ever in 2014.
Coleman was always attracted to music. After graduating college, he interned at Island Records during the imprint's most influential era, promoting rock star Melissa Etheridge and Grace Jones' hit album Slave to the Rhythm.
He then landed a position with the nation's most prestigious music industry periodical Billboard Magazine. As Dance Music Editor, he became one of the most respected voices in house, even writing the liner notes for '80s artists Thompson Twins and the girl group Exposé.
In the late '90s he launched Peace Bisquit as a management firm. Among his first successful acts were Ultra Naté and Deee-Lite, two artists who yielded some of the biggest international club hits of the time with "Free" and "Groove Is In The Heart."
Since then, he has extended Peace Bisquit's reach by providing the soundtrack to cult films like "Party Girl" starring Parker Posey, "Party Monster," "Inside Deep Throat" (a collaboration with Academy Award winning producer Brian Grazer), and the "Another Gay Movie" franchise. Most recently, Peace Bisquit has curated music for the new Broadway smash, After Midnight.
Coleman has also worked with some of the most powerful stars in music including Bette Midler, Madonna, Beyoncé, RuPaul, Lenny Kravitz, Crystal Waters, and Donna Summer. He created original works for Sinead O'Connor and co-produced Jody Watley's newest single, "Nightlife." He also introduced vocal powerhouse Chris Willis to the world. Willis' collaborations with David Guetta on "Love Is Gone," "Just A Little More Love," and "Getting' Over You" continue to play on dance floors across the globe.That's not all. Bill Coleman has represented and collaborated with some of the most influential DJ/remixers of our day, including NERVO, David Morales, Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez, Tony Moran, Frankie Knuckles, and WAWA. He has also heavily influenced gay club culture. Bill Coleman is the man behind such nightlife personalities as Amanda Lepore, hip-hop's gay rapper Cazwell, and adult film star turned crooner, Colton Ford.This month, Bill Coleman will release his most ambitious project yet, LOVE + SEXO: A Peace Bisquit Compilation. The album will feature exclusive and brand new releases from the cast of Peace Bisquit including Michelle Williams (of Destiny's Child), Ultra Naté, Colton Ford, Cazwell, Amanda Lepore, Mya and the ever-soulful Angie Stone; proof that even in 2014, there will be no parking on Bill Coleman's dance floor.

Have you ever noticed that posts with pictures on social media get more likes, shares and comments?
Do you think it is accidental or because the person who published the post is more popular?
Did you know that photos on Facebook generate 53% more likes than a text-only post?
According to Brain Rules, "When people hear information, they're likely to remember only 10% of that information three days later. However, if a relevant image is combined with that same information, people remember 65% of the information three days later."
This means that you've been missing on a whole lot of engagement with your audience if you've not been serving them with images.
Personally, posts without images are boring to read.
So, you can't afford not to take advantage of this insight and engage your audience with every means available.
For many online business owners, one of their excuses is either they can't afford to pay a graphic designer, they don't have the time to design or don't even know how to use the graphic design tools available.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Kazakhstan to Ukraine Zautbek Turisbekov told the press about the events that would take place in Kazakhstan during the year. One of the main and closest events, focused on by H.E. Ambassador, was the upcoming elections.
"In the face of new challenges and threats, Kazakhstan needs to preserve its internal stability, social cohesion and ensure further development of the state. Therefore, on February 14, the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan took the initiative to hold early presidential elections. "
Addressing the nation, members of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan noted that President Nursultan Nazarbayev should be given a new mandate of the national trust for successful development of the country in the period of global trials. Thus, early elections will be a manifestation of the political maturity of the Kazakh society and its commitment to democratic values.
Zautbek Turisbekov also noted that currently Ukraine is home to about four thousand Kazakhs who will be able to vote for their candidate by visiting the voting station which will be located in the Embassy on elections day, that is April 26, starting at 8.00.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in his speech devoted much attention to important events to be held in Kazakhstan in the next few years.
Astana will host the Fifth Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions devoted to the topic of Religion and the sustainable development of the world. For the economic development of Kazakhstan, broad prospects will be opened by the international specialized exhibition "EXPO-2017" which will be the first exhibition of this scale in the post-Soviet space. The headline of the event is Energy of the Future. Expo-2017 expects the participation of more than 100 countries and international organizations, and almost 2-3 million of visitors.
"Among other things, the current year is rich in commemorative events for Kazakhstan", said Zautbek Turisbekov.
The year of 2015 marks the 550th anniversary of the Kazakh Khanate which became the source of the statehood of the Kazakh people. It will be the 20th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan which allowed building a modern and democratic society. The same age is the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan initiated by the President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Today, the Assembly is a unique platform of the highest level to address the issues of inter-ethnic relations.
In important issue that H.E. Ambassador raised at the conference was the bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
Now Kazakhstan and Ukraine have sufficiently strong bilateral relations, and the most important thing in this cooperation is mutually beneficial partnership. Although previously goods turnover was about 5.5 billion, but it has dropped significantly - it is necessary to restore these numbers and continue to cooperate. A delegation from the North-Kazakhstan region came to Ukraine today and went to Poltava to gain experience in agriculture. In its turn, due to the decrease in the number of jobs, specialists in various fields went under the employment contracts from Ukraine to Kazakhstan. Thus, Ukrainians got jobs and the Kazakhs the opportunity to borrow knowledge. The cooperation of Kazakhstan and Ukraine in the coal and oil industry is also in progress.

The outcome of the government review of the public sector equality duty (PSED), published last week, could have been scripted in advance, Thompsons says.
The review was initiated as part of the government's so-called Red Tape Challenge to examine whether the duty was operating as intended. The steering group, made up of supporters and friends of the government and others whose views were well known in advance, concluded - predictably - that it is not.
It also found, however, as Thompsons said when the group issued a call for evidence earlier this year, that it was far too early to make any sensible analysis of the current version which only started to operate in April 2011. The steering group has therefore recommended that the government carries out a formal evaluation in three years' time.
It also made a list of other recommendations which the government has said it will accept in full:
- The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) should produce clearer, shorter guidance setting out what is necessary for public bodies to comply with the duty.
- Regulators, inspectorates and relevant ombudsmen services should integrate the PSED into their core functions and collaborate closely with the EHRC with respect to compliance action.
- Public bodies should not collect diversity data unless it is necessary for them to do so. They must also ensure they adopt a proportionate approach to compliance and not seek to "gold plate".
- Public bodies must reduce the burdens placed on small employers by removing Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) for contracts below £100k and utilise the government's core PQQ, which does not include equality requirements for contracts over this amount.
- Public bodies should not impose onerous or disproportionate requirements on contractors delivering services (particularly those with fewer than 50 employees) to provide equality data on workforce and service users. They should be challenged where their procurement processes create barriers for small businesses and charities.
- Public bodies must be proportionate in publishing information. Although the steering group could not agree on the effectiveness of the specific duties, the Chair's view was that they are not serving their intended purpose and that the government should consider removing or modifying them, to which it has already agreed.
- Enforcement of the PSED needs to be proportionate and appropriate.
The public sector equality duty, which consists of a general duty and a number of specific duties, applies to public bodies such as local government, the NHS and those that carry out public functions. It was introduced to ensure that public bodies take account of equality when carrying out their day-to-day work.
Emma Game of Thompsons Solicitors said: "The chair of the steering group may as well have been a government spokesperson. He made no effort to hide his contempt for equality laws, referring to them in the foreword to the report as "unnecessary practices" which "burden" the private sector with "hours if not days of work by requests for information from the public sector". It's an old trick but a cynical one, create a furore, have people you can rely on to review the issue (although the group appears not to have gone as far as the chair would have liked) and then go along with the outcome."

With the advancements in technology and rise in standard of living, the difficulties in our life have also grown a lot.
Especially, the small tasks, carried out in daily life, have become time-consuming and complex. One such task is maintenance of our vehicles.
All those who own a car, must be agreeing with me that we need to remember refueling, check tyres regularly and keep the car clean.
Tyres are those components of the car, which should be in proper working condition or else it is difficult to continue the drive.
We can never predict when the tyres of our car can get flat and impede our motive of driving. Hence, we keep the spare tyre with us to account for uncertainties.
But, I am sure all of us are not expert in replacing the tyre and when it comes to repairing, we definitely should not try our hands at that. Therefore, we take the help of tyre fitting service providers.
How do home tyre fitting services help you?
It has happened to almost everyone that on the day when you have so many plans for work or you have arranged a trip with friends, the tyres of your car deceive you.
In this case, calling home tyre fitting service is the best solution. They can diagnose the problem and repair or replace the tyres, while you can enjoy your breakfast, read newspaper or watch TV.
The important concern in our life today is constraint of time. In this scenario, if we notice some problem with our tyres while being home, home tyre service is just like a boon to save our valuable minutes.
There are several benefits of home tyre fitting service such as:
- Quick: You can call them at the time of requirement and they turn up real fast.
- Convenient: You don't have to put any efforts in taking the car to the garage. The workmen of the service providers come to your premises and solve the problem. No need to book prior appointment with workshop.
- Smooth: No matter, how far they are from your home, if home tyre fitting service providers serve your area, they would help you in time of emergencies.
- Safe: Handling mechanical matters without possessing the required skills can prove risky. Therefore, calling home tyre fitting servicemen is the ideal thing to do. Also, you don't need to drive a car in damaged condition to the garage.
- Expertise: These service providers are proficient in their knowledge, skills and have required tools to handle the job, which is a guarantee of expertise work for your tyres. It is a much better option than doing it yourself.
- Economical: I know, some of you might think that as they come to our place, charges might be high. But, believe me, they charge very moderately for their professional service. Also, you save on fuel as you don't have to drive your car to the workshop.

What is Yacon Root?
In the world of health and wellness, one of the most common problems that people can deal with is trying to decipher the series of health options for us. With so much to pick from, it's hard to know what you should be taking and what you should be avoiding. Out of all of the options out there Yacon Root might be one of the most powerful and effective solutions to start taking. If you feel lacking in energy and conditioning, then Yacon Root supplements can be immensely powerful indeed.
Those who suffer from mental function issues like a poor memory, a lack of clarity and just general mental speed can find that Yacon Root is immensely powerful for fighting back against such a challenging issue.
Managing Life with Yacon Root
It can be hard to manage your life and your body without the right ingredients, and without knowing exactly what you are taking. With this, you get all the help that you need to start powering your body with the correct ingredients, making it easier to give your mind the chance it needs to see things clearer.
Form problem solving to dealing with various other cognitive issues, Yacon Root can give you the chance that you need to really take things a step further. A natural solution, Yacon offers a very useful way for you to get the benefits in the mind that Peruvians have been benefiting from for decades.
What is yacon root? A native South American plant, this is a very powerful and crunchy root-specific plant that is known for helping people to find a more comfortable pathway to mental function. It's also known for its dark green leaves and it's large, yellow flowers that form on it.
Yacon Root grows with rhizomes – a particular kind of tuber, red inconsistency – and red tubers which tend to be larger in size. These are the ones that you usually want to eat, and what most Yacon Root supplements will include alongside the root itself obviously.
When used correctly, Yacon Root is a substance that can improve the body and the mind to make us more capable of coping with stressful and tough situations as well as making it very easy to change how you generally feel. If you are someone who is easily confused or finds it hard to solve and manage problems, then turning to some Yacon Root makes plenty of sense.
Taken in a supplement form, it becomes something that you can easily enjoy while seeing the benefits from it very quickly. With a long and positive reputation that has come from its time in Peru, this is a root that is more than worth your time taking if you need it.
Using it accordingly, you have an easy way to help empower the mind and give yourself self-belief that you are capable of more. If you find it hard to manage your mind and maintain concentration, then the root from this Peruvian plant might be just what you need.
