The world routinely laments the way women are being held back through gender-specific barriers, but trust Gallup to tell us how women can hold sway over the competition. A recent study by Gallup says employees are more engaged at work when they have a female boss at work. The difference is remarkable at 6% percentage points higher – definitely a number that cannot be sneezed at, especially when employers want the kind of positive results that employee engagement offers. Though Gallup never asked me personally, these results come as no surprise to me because I have a female boss myself, and definitely feel blessed by that fact.
When we consider the academic progress of women, we find that they do not lag behind men. The same cannot be said of their progress through the workplace, as the men overtake them at every single stage of their careers – with very few women reaching the top. A study by Harvard Business Review talks about the hurdles women face on their progress up the career ladder. While both men and women have faced a manager who drove them to quit, the number of women at 25% outpaces the number of men who shared the same fate at 16%. The same study shows that 37% of men were happy with the advancement of their careers, while only 3% of women were found to be happy. This comes as no surprise when the same study also shows that women invariably started at lower salaries than men, though equally skilled.
Usually women who experience career success do so mainly because they are self-motivated and ambitious, but seek out mentors and supportive colleagues to help them to grow in their career and lives. In return, when becoming managers they adopt a managerial style that encourages and recognizes subordinates. On the other hand, men face tremendous pressure and expectations of exceptional achievement from society in general and even from close family members. Typically, "winning" at work is achieved through focus on their own aspirations.
According to the Gallup study, the preference for women managers stemmed from the behaviors they manifest, like:
There are numerous studies measuring engagement, and each uses different definitions and measuring techniques. What they all have in common are deplorable results! A study by the University of Arizona shows that 88% of employees lack "passion for their work". The most positive study, The 2015 Employee Engagement Trends Report, places overall workforce engagement at 65.9%, but notes that this is the lowest level in eight years. While the results are better when polling Americans who report having a female boss, we find only 14% of top positions are held by women.
In the DCR blog, we have been talking about the subtle negative attitudes women face at work. This could make ambitious women work twice as hard as any man, as they have a point to prove by establishing their worthiness. Despite the challenges faced by women in the workplace, Gallup reports that women individually are more engaged than their male counterparts, and their workers are more engaged than those working under a man's direction. Despite these results, biases against women in positions of leadership continue. In the Gallup study, one third of all employees prefer to work for a man, 20% would choose a female boss, and nearly half don't care.
Businesses are aware that positive business outcomes like customer satisfaction, innovation and profitability are made possible by the zeal of engaged employees. Employee engagement also drives retention. It makes sense to have managers who are better at engaging their employees. So, if you happen to be hesitating about promoting women to positions of leadership and responsibility, this may be the time to rethink your position and establish programs to weed out the biases against them. Those of you who have always worked to promote women's careers may also take this opportunity to do a reality check, by measuring the results.

Architectural writer and music critic Thomas Small, 49, and wife Joanna Brody, 44, a public relations consultant, had outgrown their two-bedroom town house in Santa Monica.
So in 2004, they bought a "decrepit" Culver City cottage to remodel. Unable to salvage the 1,500-square-foot fixer-upper and hoping to create an affordable, custom-built home, the couple turned to Whitney Sander, principal architect and founder of Venice-based Sander Architects, who uses prefabricated steel to provide a cost-effective building option.
Construction on the new home started in December 2005 and this February, the Small-Brody brood, which includes two large, hairy Briard dogs, Calvin and Hobbes; and two infants, Joey, 1, and Lyra, 6 months, moved into their 3,800-square-foot part-prefabricated steel, part-custom home.
The Culver City residence features a main house with three bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, two offices and a separate one-bedroom rental apartment above the garage.

Heidelberg and WEIG implement new digital business model for folding carton printing
Growth is on the cards for folding carton producer FK Fürther Kartonagen, which forms part of the WEIG network of companies. In creating a new digital business model, WEIG is drawing on the experience, advice, and technology of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg).
"We're looking to turn our Emskirchen site into a folding carton business that leads the way when it comes to availability and flexibility. We're therefore entering into a partnership with Heidelberg in which our strategic and business interests are aligned. Under the new business model, Heidelberg will no longer make its money by supplying press components, but solely by achieving agreed productivity and growth targets," explains Toni Steffens, Commercial Director of WEIG Packaging.
The Heidelberg subscription model follows the growing pay-per-use trend in mechanical engineering and aims to move away from growth based solely on selling and installing printing capacity.
Under this Heidelberg model, customers only pay for the number of sheets actually printed. Under the conventional business model, they buy the presses and pay separately for consumables or services. With the new digital business model, all the equipment, all consumables required – such as printing plates, inks, coatings, washup solutions, and blankets – and a comprehensive range of services geared to availability are included in the price per sheet to be charged. This differs significantly from the click charge model already introduced by digital press suppliers. Although these suppliers also charge per sheet, they mainly base this on their own costs and not on the customer's business model.
"Under the Heidelberg subscription model, the economic responsibility for optimum technical availability, increased productivity, and maximum utilization of the installed equipment no longer rests solely with the customer, but for the first time also with the supplier," explains Professor Ulrich Hermann, member of the Management Board and Chief Digital Officer at Heidelberg. "After all, a customer only enters into a long-term agreement with us if the benefits are permanent. We ensure this will be the case with our operator model. A situation in which customers are looking to make full use of the opportunities of digitization throughout the system also represents a forward-looking solution," he adds.
Under the agreement, two new Speedmaster XL 106 presses from the drupa 2016 generation with Push to Stop and Multicolor technology are being installed at the Emskirchen folding carton plant. However, the model in its totality also includes all service components, replacement and wear parts, all consumables required to operate the presses, and a training and consulting service aimed at increasing availability. In addition, WEIG is using the new Heidelberg Assistant digitization solution, which went into series production at the end of 2017.
The Heidelberg Assistant is being developed into the central control panel. In practice, this means a big step is already being taken in the direction of Industry 4.0 for the entire sector, with equipment and components communicating independently. Maintenance requirements and wear will be identified at an early stage so as to enable joint, predictive service planning. This will significantly improve the availability of equipment. WEIG will benefit from enhanced flexibility in terms of customers and scheduling with a view to achieving just-in-time production.
"Establishing pay-per-use models in industrial offset printing is the result of our company's ongoing digital transformation, and also our software and data expertise. Heidelberg offers customers a smart complete system comprising press, services, consumables, and software solutions," says Hermann. "The stable management of a system of this kind is inconceivable without big data applications – in predictive maintenance, for example – and our Push to Stop approach to autonomous printing. Our customers and investors alike appreciate the benefits of long-term, sustainable business relationships that aim to digitize the sector," he stresses.

APRIL 2010, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton edition of The Union News
Teachers Union signs solidarity agreement with AFL-CIO
REGION, March 14th- The Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) and the Pennsylvania American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) labor federation in Harrisburg, announced they have signed a new solidarity agreement.
AFL-CIO President William George and PSEA President Jim Testerman, the state's largest school employee union, signed the labor solidarity partnership agreement on March 9th at a Harrisburg news coverence.
"We believe it is in the mutual best interest for the PSEA and our local affiliates to participate in the broader labor movement through joint efforts with the AFL-CIO and its affiliates at the national, state and local levels. The strength of unions working to improve the lives of working Americans is in our solidarity. We support each other. Today we re-affirm to the members of the AFL-CIO and they re-affirm to us your fight, your struggle is ours also," said Mr. Testerman.
Phone messages to Mr. George from the newspaper were not immediately returned regarding this story.
"Unions continue to play a critical role in our society, and one that extewnds well beyond those people who pay dues. Unions give workers a voice through the collective bargaining process to shape decisions regarding compensation and benefits, working conditions and job security. Almost always, the result is higher pay and better benefits, safer working conditions and greater job security for their members, just as it has been throughout the history of the labor movement," added Mr. Testerman.
The two labor organizations have been working toward a agreement for several years. In 2006, the National Education Association's Representative Assembly enacted a new business item authorizing NEA local affiliates to become members of the AFL-CIO local labor councils and state federations. The agreement will allow for greater cooperation and participation by PSEA local affiliates in the AFL-CIO central labor councils including serving as officers.
"The advantages of joining together are obvious. We will be able to conduct more effective campaigns in politics and legislation, in our community services programs and in educating workers about the benefits of belonging to unions," said Richard Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO and a member of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Union. Mr. Bloomdale will likely replace Mr. George as the leader of the labor federation in April, 2010.

Could Liquor License Changes Impact Twin City Restaurants?/
The St. Paul Charter Commission is discussing a change to liquor licensing that could impact the number of liquor licenses allowed in each ward as well as the percentage of liquor sales required per restaurant. Currently, the liquor laws state that 40 percent of a restaurant's sales be attributed to liquor and 60 percent to food. The new law would lift those restrictions and allow restaurant liquor and food sales to not be restricted to any percentages.
Liquor and beverage programs have long been one of the most lucrative parts of operations. Restaurant owners can make a large percent of their profit based on their liquor sales and the 40 percent restriction means that there was a cap on how much profit St. Paul restaurant owners could create. This new law would allow restaurants to make more money and not have to limit their alcohol sales. Read more.

Shabrina Eilien Khalishah/180410150025
Home. What is home actually? A person? A place? A feeling? I'm an only child and I was born in a damaged family, my mother ran away with her new boyfriend right after my first birthday and my father is somewhere on earth, only God knows where he is now. I've never felt something such a home, the place where I live right now doesn't feel like home anymore or never felt like it.
I hate it whenever I'm alone and I have nothing to do, the thought of "home" always crossed my mind no matter how hard I tried to avoid it by observing another person or just simply think about another thing which is more important, when am I gonna propose Brianna, for example. It's been two months since I finished boot camp in the military and now I'm working at my friend's company. On my day off, I usually just spend my day in my house. My girlfriend would keep me company but she had something important to do today. That's why I chose to get out of the house and visited Ben's coffee shop in downtown.
A long sigh escape my mouth as I get up from the chair and about to pay for my tea when my eyes accidentally catch a glimpse of an old woman. I turn my head to her to get a better vision. As I expected, she looks back at me, she even adds a smile before raising her right hand and a waitress approaches her right away. 'She is having a good time with herself. I see…' that's what I thought before asking myself why would I care about another person who I don't really know. That's one of my habits, I tend to observe people by their looks when I'm bored and silently wondering about their lives.
I step out of the cafe building with my phone on my left hand after replying to my client's text about the deadline we've discussed before. My phone once again buzzing when I was about to put it back to my pocket. Unknown number, and I'm not sure I know whose number is this. With hesitation, I decided to answer the call.
My heart skips a beat, not in a good way but in a bad way, when I hear each words that came out of the person's mouth. "You are not joking, are you?" That's all I can say after trying to recall what he just said. The next thing I know is I feel my body trembling and I run as fast as I can to my car. Now I know what home feels like. Brianna is my home, she is my home. And now my home is gone.

Corporate Profile
PT Matahari Putra Prima Tbk (MPPA) is Indonesia's prominent multi-format modern retailer. Established in 1986, MPPA has successfully operated a number of subordinate companies across multiple industries. The divestment of non-core assets at the end of 2012, poised MPPA to become a multi-format retailer. Today MPPA has become the iconic shopping destination and successfully operates more than 290 stores across Indonesia supported by its own extensive distribution network.
In reaching its current respected position, required a transformation that began in 2014 with strengthening of the management team. In mid-2014, MPPA sets its focus on becoming the dominant multi-format retailer and in doing so articulated a new strategy of growth.
This strategy was anchored by 5 pillars being:
- New Formats,
- Network Expansion,
- Renovations,
- Sustainable Retail Management, and
- New Channels.
The first success of this transformation era was seen at the end of 2014 with the launch of the next generation Hypermart G7 concept, which was very well received by customers. Future stores would be designed based on this concept.
MPPA strategy of becoming a multi-format operator began to unfold in 2015. Strategic Hypermart locations were closed and remodeled to the successful G7 concept as well as new stores built following this new concept. In addition, MPPA began launching new formats including at premium supermarket operating under the banner of Foodmart Primo, a new wholesale concept operating under the banner of SmartClub,
a new convenience store concept operating under the banner of FMX along with a completely revamped Boston Health & Beauty.
Finally, large trader business, previously conducted in stores was separated as part of the wholesale platform gaining increased visibility into the strengths and weaknesses of the organization. This was useful as MPPA began the process of institutionalizing many back end processes to position MPPA for sustainable growth.
The most significant change was addressing the limitations placed on consumer pricing that was hindered by operating under the retail method of inventory measurement. This year was the start of a rebuilding year which continued into 2016, to address the infrastructure obstacles that hindered long term value creation.
In 2016, MPPA made great strides at addressing its long term positioning with the most critical change being the implementation and switch to the cost method of inventory measurement technique in the 3rd quarter of 2016. This was a milestone as MPPA is now positioned to address the final obstacle impacting comp sales which is pricing. It also places MPPA in a position to better understand the profitability of its assortment thus enabling long term margin management/control while simultaneously addressing pricing. Finally, MPPA recognized the importance of E-Commerce when it strategically invested and cooperated with MatahariMall.com, a vast online market place portal in Indonesia. This relationship will capture the benefits of the fast growing digital lifestyles of Indonesia's modern consumers.
MPPA took important steps in 2015 and 2016 in developing a sustainable retail management platform through the institutionalization of business processes. These are important foundations to
support MPPA as it begins a new growth story in 2017 and beyond.
First introduced in 2004 as a compact hypermarket with average size of 3,000-6,000 m², Hypermart has grown to become the key driver of MPPA's retail business to-date. MPPA continues to strengthen its core Hypermart business with a goal to capture the growing Indonesian middle class customers with a modern shopping environment and consistent shopping experience at every store throughout Indonesia.
Today, Hypermart has become an iconic modern retail hypermarket for the growing middle income Indonesian family nationwide, with an extensive product selection covering Grocery, Fresh Food, Bazaar, Softlines and Electronics merchandise. To cater to wide demands from discerning shoppers, Hypermart is able to localize its assortments to meet the needs of customers across Indonesia.
This competitive advantage results from our capabilities in intensive retail & customers studies, planogramming, detailed sales and profitabiity information by SKU as well as a nationwide distribution network to move products from Distribution Centers and suppliers to stores.
In 2014 MPPA introduced its first G7 remodel of the Hypermart store format. The new G7 concept upgrades the store's physical layout and traffic flow to a level that compares favourably with international standards of modern hypermarkets, as well as uses refreshed modern graphics and colour patterns to help customers easily locate the placement of retail products while shopping. Planogram implementation also helps the store's team to organize and maintain its assortments and stocks efficiently. In 2015 and 2016 MPPA continued to renovate several of its stores to the latest G7 format with 26 new and renovated G7 stores actively operating by 2016 year end.
During 2016, Hypermart successfully opened 7 new stores and remodelled 6 existing stores with the latest G7 concept. Most of these stores were opened outside Java confirming MPPA's commitment to be first to market and provide a modern shopping experience to customers in all areas of Indonesia. By 2016 year-end, MPPA operated 115 Hypermart stores and had expanded its footprint to more than 73 cities across the country.
In 2017, Hypermart will continue to expand to the outer islands with a greater focus in eastern Indonesia.
MPPA plans to open up to 11 hypermarkets in 2017.
SmartClub aims to be the format of choice for wholesale business operators in Indonesia. This format attracts business owners, traders, HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant and Catering), offices and other service providers and offers them "one-stop" and low cost shopping solution with a wide selection of fresh produce, groceries, and general merchandise.
SmartClub is the only modern wholesaler to have a Food Solution Center, which will help restaurant owners on menu creation, kitchenware equipment and its usage and other food related businesses solutions. SmartClub also contributes to the community by actively holding events and inviting several top chefs to teach and share their experience with customers. In addition, an Office Solution Center provides a complete range of office supplies and services needs to offices and small business owners.
This new format allows MPPA to deepen its relationship with Indonesia's traditional trade. Business owners are eligible for discounts and other loyalty incentives including a tiered pricing strategy and point accumulation benefits. The SmartClub, tagline "Bukan Grosir Biasa" (Not Just an Ordinary Wholesaler), partners with banks to support business customers who need financing on their purchases.
Looking at the favorable outlook of the wholesale market in Indonesia going forward, MPPA believes that SmartClub is destined to become the first choice among business owners for a modern wholesale center. It offers MPPA sustainable growth and opportunity for a greater revenue contribution in the future. MPPA continued to expand this business with the openings of 2 SmartClubs outside Java in 2016 and plans to open up to 4 additional SmartClub locations in 2017, both in Greater Jakarta and the outer islands.
Foodmart Primo & Foodmart Fresh
Through its Foodmart supermarket format, MPPA focuses on fresh foods, bakery, ready-to-eat (RTE) products as well as wide variety of local and international products. Currently, an average Foodmart store carries about 13,000 SKUs to provide convenient shopping experience with modern store atmosphere and to cater the needs of modern Indonesian customers who put values on convenience with quality fresh products.
Over the last several years, the Foodmart format has been expanded further to increase the focus on high quality fresh foods and provides only the freshest products to customers. In 2015 MPPA introduced its latest concept operating under the banner Foodmart Primo with the renewed focus on fresh for the remaining supermarkets. In 2016 MPPA began rebranding selected supermarkets under the banner Foodmart Fresh.
Being the premium supermarket format for refined customers, Foodmart Primo offers international products, more variety of quality fresh products and a large RTE section providing eat-in or quick take-away meals at fantastic values. It also features a café and boutique bakery while localizing categories such as aromatherapy, handicrafts & souvenirs to the Foodmart Primo stores in Bali.
At the same time, Foodmart Fresh is positioned to become the choice supermarket for middle class households with its offerings of fresh produce, groceries and household needs in Indonesia. Within 2016, MPPA expanded this business format with the opening of 4 additional stores and actively operated 26 stores at year end. In 2017 MPPA plans to open up to 7 stores.
Boston Health & Beauty
Boston Health & Beauty ("Boston") is MPPA's entry into the modern personal care store format in Indonesia. Boston provides convenient access to a wide range of over-the-counter products of health care, personal care and beauty care as well as snack foods. In 2016, Boston began providing a pharmacy and wellness services in larger stores across Indonesia to include prescription drugs. Boston is positioned to offer the Indonesian customers a modern, convenient health & beauty store with added services of in-store health clinics.
To strengthen its branding position, in late 2015 Boston confirmed 3 formats going forward:
Boston Health is typically located inside hospitals, size between 80-120 m², offering various range of health products, personal care, food & beverage, gift and fruit basket for hospital visitors. Boston Health stores will take advantage of MPPA synergies with the Lippo Group by placing a store within Siloam hospitals and plan to expand to other hospitals in 2017 for wider service coverage and increased brand awareness.
Boston Regular is a stand-alone outlet, size between 120 -200 m² located in the mall or near Hypermart. Going forward, stand-alone stores in the mall will be a major format, providing a wide range of health products such as health supplements, OTC products, medical devices and beauty products including cosmetics, skin care, beauty accessories and personal care. Basic food and beverage are also offered for customer convenience.
Boston Combo is a complete Health & Beauty format with a full range of supplements, OTC products and a wider range of cosmetics, perfumery, beauty and hair accessories. With a size over 350 m², various service products such as optic shop, nail shop and hair-coloring are also available to complete the offering of a modern health & beauty center.
At 2016 year-end, Boston operated a total of 109 stores, including 9 new stores opened during the year. In 2017, MPPA plans to expand the Boston business with up to 20 new stores.
In response to the high demand of consumer needs for a convenient, fast "grab & go" purchase within local communities as well as positive feedback for the FMX format launched at 2015 yearend, MPPA continued rolling out the FMX convenience stores at prime and strategic locations in 2016. With typical store size between 80-200 m², FMX provides innovative high quality products and services. FMX differentiates itself from other Indonesian minimarket operators with modern layouts, large ready to eat and drink sections and a wide assortment of grocery with a focus on snacks. Basic financial services such as ATM's, cellular airtime top ups and bill payments are also offered within the stores.
In order to support its modern convenience store format adjacent to customers, FMX is geared to be located in prime areas such as offices, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, railway stations and other strategic public places. MPPA believes the FMX concept will be well received by consumers and offers great growth opportunities not only through store expansion but also via franchise owners, collaborative partnerships, and contract relationships.
MPPA currently operates 46 convenience stores/minimarkets, in which 9 stores operate under the banner FMX and the remaining stores under minimarket format that will be reviewed for possible conversion or closures. MPPA plans to open up to 15 additional stores in 2017.

Hi there,
What a beautiful couple of days we have had.
Today in class was a "free reading day" and I sat with some of you and looked at your revised companion books and graded them. I hope to have those new grades in by the end of the weekend...
The last ten minutes of class you began filling in your reading reflection for May 19th. Be sure to copy the prompt from the view only one and put it on the one you have been writing on.
Next week- Tuesday through Thursday- you will be taking your NWEA's. We will again do only 15 questions a day to be sure you have enough time and try your best. So get plenty of rest and eat a great breakfast.
1. Read and record your title, pages and minutes.
2. Be sure to complete your reading reflection on Google Classroom for the 19th. The prompt is on the one you can view only. You are to copy and paste it into the one you can write on by the end of tonight.
3. Be sure to reread your two poems for Day 2 that your group decided on. You ONLY have to read them and think about tone and theme.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Downs

Administrators have been called in at a troubled law office in the borough, it has been confirmed.
Bosses at Johnson Law, which has premises in Gerald Street, Ashton, have blamed regulatory changes and financial pressures for the accident and personal injury industry for the closure.
Thirteen posts have been lost at their Ashton and Bolton offices as a result of the administrators being drafted in.
But insolvency experts Leonard Curtis say they have been able to transfer the firm's caseload to other legal practices without the need for the solicitors' regulator to be involved.
Joint administrators Julien Irving and John Titley are handling the winding down of the practice.
Mr Irving said: "Whilst the number of redundancies was unavoidable we are pleased to say that we have ensured over 700 client matters were seamlessly transferred to regulated practices and therefore avoided Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) intervention."
He confirmed that the company had "experienced difficulties as a result of the regulatory and financial pressures currently being placed on the personal injury sector."
A spokesman for the SRA confirmed that the regulator had been notified that the firm had gone into administration.
He said that the authority would only become involved if there was evidence the company had not been subject to an "orderly wind-down".
"If any clients have any concerns about how their cases are being handled then they can go to the contact section of our website - www.sra.org.uk," he added.
There is no suggestion of any impropriety surrounding the closure, unlike the demise of another Ashton solicitor's firm, Garth Rigby, which closed down in December 2014.
An investigation was conducted by the SRA, which saw two solicitors, Natalie Crompton and David Wilson, suspended by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal for wrongly transferring nearly £86,000 from three client accounts.

Leaky roofing and leaky pipes can cause a lot of damage to a house. If you don't act quickly, these two problems can result in major repairs that can get quite costly and complicated. My blog will show you how to identify these problem areas and how to judge the severity of the damage sustained. Having restored a few homes over the years before selling them, I have a lot of experience working with water damaged homes. I hope that all of the information that I have included here in this blog will help you get through the process with fewer issues.
There are times when buildings experience water damage. This could be the result of a storm, broken indoor plumbing and more. Once a building experiences water damage, the next step is to clean it up. Successful water restoration involves a process. There are no governmental regulations that involve water restoration procedures. Many companies follow the standards prescribed by the Institution of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Initial Contact After a building has water damage, it is important the owner contact a restoration company as soon as possible. It is important to be able to provide some information upon initial contact. They will need to know the cause of the water damage. It is important to know the extent of the flooding within the building. The company will also want to know the type of water that flooded the building. They will also want to know if flooding in the building has stopped. Assessment Upon arriving at the flooded building, company representatives will do a visual inspection of the flood damaged area. They will ensure all power in the area is turned off. The cause of the flooding will be identified. The extent of the flooding will be determined. A plan for water extraction will be developed. Water Extraction The company will know what equipment to use for the water extraction process. Every effort will be made to minimize damage. When the proper equipment is used, large amounts of water can be quickly removed from an area. The process may involve both portable and truck mounted pumps. Removing Debris Once all standing water has been removed from a building, cleaning the debris will begin. This is a time to identify property that is destroyed and items that are salvageable. Drying Once the affected area is free of debris, the drying process begins. A variety of tools will be used to remove moisture as quickly as possible. Channels will be created in walls, floors, cabinets and more. Blowers and a variety of drying equipment will be used. The goal is to decrease the chance of mold forming in the affected area. Reconstruction During this phase, the company will begin the process of restoring the affected area back to its former state. Paint and other types of finishing will be applied. New carpet can be installed and more. All of this will be done in accordance with the owner's instructions. Sanitation Once the reconstruction is complete, all equipment will be removed from the area. Air filtration techniques can be used to prevent mold and any types of odor problems. Systems can be used to remove particle as small as .3 microns. Prevention Once the water damage restoration is complete, it will be important to prevent mold contamination from developing in the future. Water damage restoration companies, like Property Doctors, will provide the building owner with suggestions to make this possible.Share

ransitional design is the combination of modern and traditional elements within the same space – resulting in a cohesive unique design style. No one is 100% one design style. And the way we use our spaces today is very different from how we used them 100 years ago. So even if you love the aesthetic look of a traditional design, it makes so much sense to adapt that look to a modern day lifestyle.

I had back surgery a year ago and im moving my back is starting to hurt again and i was in a financial mess because of it do you see nothing bad inregard to my back and will i be ok in the apartment
Saturn transiting into Scorpio on the 5th is by far the most important transit this month. It can prompt a dramatic shift in your focus during the next three years. As the taskmaster of the zodiac, Saturn will test your resolve or resources, while strengthening your foundation, confidence and determination in a certain area of your life (Check your astrology chart to see which house is ruled by Scorpio, which will be the area of your life affected by Saturn.). So think about what you'd like to accomplish between now and September 2015, and take some steps to make it happen!
Getting healthy together and enjoying an array of sensual delights can heighten romance during Venus in Virgo (October 3 – 27). Analyzing your relationships is favored as well. Venus enters loving Libra on the 28th (through November 20), which can sweeten one-on-one encounters and awaken your artistry.
Mars transits out of steamy Scorpio and into lighthearted Sagittarius on the 6th (through November 15), which may bring out your inner daredevil. It can also prompt you to explore a new locale, culture or philosophy.
Jupiter turns retrograde on the 4th (through January 30, 2013). This is an excellent time for self-discovery through spiritual and intellectual pursuits, as well as evaluating your personal integrity. It's also a good time to finish your education. However, starting a business during retrograde Jupiter may result in most of your resources going toward altruistic projects that you won't get paid for. On the upside, this influence supports philanthropic activities.
Continuing their retrograde travels are Neptune (through November 10) and Uranus (through December 12), which also promote activities that enhance your inner awareness, direction or purpose.
The New Moon in Libra on the 15th illuminates activities that involve relating, art, law, negotiating or equality. You may find yourself evaluating your attitudes and beliefs about love and commitment.
The Full Moon in Taurus on the 29th energizes sensual trysts and other physical endeavors. It can also shine a light on issues pertaining to the environment.
October 3 – 27: Venus in Virgo favors social activities that are healthful, helpful or connected to your work.
October 3: Venus opposing Neptune can heighten artistic expression, but may influence relationship issues/facts, especially for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
October 4 – January 30, 2013: Retrograde Jupiter favors the pursuit of spiritual wisdom, but can hinder financial gains from non-philanthropic endeavors.
October 5: Mercury conjunct Saturn in Libra supports ideas, discussions and analyses concerning love, law, equality or art.
October 5 – 28: Mercury in Scorpio favors ideas/discussions about sex, death, research, money or other people's resources.
October 5: Mercury trine Neptune can heighten your intuition or imagination, especially for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces and to a lesser extent for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
October 5 – Summer 2015: Saturn in Scorpio can illuminate attitudes and behaviors that keep you stuck. On a global scale, it has the power to transform entrenched policies/laws concerning the economy, health care or sexuality.
October 6 – 13: Saturn trine Neptune assists with the realization of spiritual or philanthropic goals, especially for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces and to a lesser extent for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
October 6 – November 15: Mars in Sagittarius energizes activities involving education, sports, travel, culture or spirituality.
October 7: Mars square Neptune can hinder the will to take action, especially for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
October 8: Sun trine Jupiter energizes optimism and generosity, especially for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius and to a lesser extent for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
October 9: Venus trine Pluto intensifies intimate encounters while illuminating relationship issues, especially for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and to a lesser extent for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
October 15: The New Moon in Libra brings fresh energy to activities that involve socializing, art, equality, negotiating or law.
October 15: Mars trine Uranus heightens daring, willfulness and sudden sexual attraction, especially for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius and to a lesser extent for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
October 16: Venus square Jupiter can prompt you to overindulge in optimism, spending or food, especially for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
October 22 – November 20: Sun in Scorpio can illuminate hidden desires or attitudes that help or hinder your progress.
October 23: Sun trine Neptune favors activities that inspire your artistry, compassion or spirituality, especially for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces and to a lesser extent for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
October 25: Sun conjunct Saturn in Scorpio can help you see the truth about your motives, material goals and finances.
October 28 – November 20: Venus in Libra inspires one-on-one relating, art, negotiating and social equality.
October 28: Mars opposing Jupiter can intensify daring, adventurousness or boastfulness, especially for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
October 29 – November 13: Mercury in Sagittarius favors ideas/discussions about education, culture, philanthropy, travel or spiritual beliefs.
October 29: The Full Moon in Taurus can energize activities or issues involving your body, sexuality, security or environment, especially for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
October 29: Mercury square Neptune can cloud the facts in discussions and agreements, especially for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.

Thanks and regards
Divine Infinite and Eternal Blessings to Cortney and all.
Divine Infinite and Eternal Gratitude, Appreciation, Joy Love, Light, Wealth, Wellness, Ascension Cortney and all this month and every month!
OK what happened to me these last few weeks????..hint-life changing,,,,,
These steps have changed my life!
It is best to see this new month with potential for change and opportunity. Even though you may feel reluctant about progression in the job, health, or relationship subject; just know that your intentions are clear. Your actions show your success.
For love: do not focus on the "don't wants". Focus on the "Do wants"! Your personality appears to be less judgmental and more open when the other contender sees you in the same light. Outline in the stars with your imagination a perfect lover that means your standards emotionally. When you practice these steps do not be surprised at how fast genuine love comes into your life.
For Money/Jobs: STOP WATCHING THE NEWS! You are not like the rest! You deserve that job you were thinking about applying for! Even if it appears to be out of your "league" try anyway. Envision your environment and only search for jobs related to your comfort zone.
Health: Healing is Believing! Sit out in the sun, or if you are immobile sit near the window to feel the sun. Allow it to hit your third eye so it may cleanse you. Drink water, eat right, and move around to keep your metabolism going. Pills my ease the pain, but the desire for better health never dies in vain!
Thank you

Breiðholtskirkja Church in Reykjavik offers free weddings
Breiðholtskirkja Church in Reykjavik will on 13 May offer free weddings for the second time. Last year the church had a drop-in-wedding day, where couples could drop by and get hitched. The event was extremely popular. So popular that this year, people wanting to get married for free will have to let the priest know in advance so everyone will get their place by the altar.
There will be one large ceremony conducted by Þórhallur Heimisson, the local priest. The local organ player will organize the music and pretty much everything else is in hands of volunteers. Couples are reminded to prepare the paperwork necessary beforehand.
Heimisson got the idea in Sweden, where he used to live. Wedding of this kind were popular in his congregation in Sweden, so he decided to try it in Iceland where it seems to be no less popular.

The IP69K rating and stainless steel parts enable this switch to be used in wash down applications in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor industries.
When the 440G-LZ Guard-locking Interlock Switch locking bolt is extended into and detected by the actuator, two OSSD solid state outputs are enabled preventing the opening of the guard. The locking bolt will only attempt to extend when the correct actuator is detected.
The semiconductor OSSD safety outputs of the switch can be connected in series with other safety components that have OSSD solid-state outputs. Two bright LEDs positioned on the front corners of the housing enable 270° visual diagnostics. The switch also has an auxiliary output as well as a manual release.
Advanced algorithms and a bi-stable solenoid result in low energy use. Peak power only occurs when changing from unlocked to locked (or vice versa). The bi-stable drive uses minimal power and will not produce heat when either locked or unlocked. The functionality is configured to replicate a traditional power-to-release or power-to-lock device
The RFID actuators can be selected as either standard or uniquely coded. The user can select the level of actuator coding according to the foreseeable risk of tampering in accordance with the requirements of EN/ISO 14119:2013.

President of Auto Spare parts & Machinery Dealers' Association (ASPMDA), Chief Daniel Offorkansi, has revealed that newly registered 2016 Constitution (As amended) will open up the plaza for more foreign and indigenous investments especially in local manufacturing of spare parts.
Previous administrations in the trading group had been making failed attempts to come up with new constitution, but the present government under Chief Offorkansi achieved the feat alongside other remarkable infrastructural facilities in the massive complex. Some of these achievements include building of ultra modern Hospital, free Mass Transit Buses from the trade fair Junction to the ASPMDA main date every morning and evenings, new waste management policy, reconstruction of security posts, construction of free urinary points, opening up of empty plots for plaza developments and other.
Business Hilights recalls that ASPMDA remains the largest auto spare parts trading group in sub-Saharan Africa at the Lagos International trade fair complex, Badagry Expressway.
Speaking shortly after a Thanksgiving Service held at Archangels Parish, Satellite Town, Lagos, he noted that "The Constitution has been registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Abuja which means it has become our new law superseding the 1986 Constitution.
"The law will among of other things, encourage influx of new investors into the market and open up existing businesses as for growth as law and order tailored to deepen investments in a serene business environment has come".
He therefore called on members and stakeholders to abide by the provisions of the constitution so as to grow and expand the services of 'Keeping the Nation Moving', which is our motto.
Also speaking during the celebration party that followed the Church Thanksgiving, the Vice president, Chief Models Hyginus Ezeamama averred that "With the constitution which had been in effect for some time now, ASPMDA has started witnessing major expansion and general infrastructure development driven by discipline and purpose as all the issues weakening investments have been taken care of in the Constitution".
According to a former President of ASPMDA and member of the Board of Trustees (BOT), Chief Jossy Egwuatu, "ASPMDA is very happy on the law because if we take our minds back to where we are coming from, members will be begin to observe that the constitution will unlock the potentials of the market for expansion".
High point of the ASPMDA Constitution celebration party was the award of honours to all members of the Constitution review Committee for their patriotism in coming up with a well accepted law of the largest auto spare parts market in Africa.
It would be recalled that ASPMDA trading space at Lagos International trade fair complex, is currently enjoying a 99 year lease from the Federal Government since 1996.

There's a really fantastic looking book coming out early next year, the Routledge Handbook of Food as Commons: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315809142_Routledge_Handbook_of_Food_as_Commons
It's edited by Jose Luis Vivero Pol (I recommend following him on twitter!), Tomaso Ferrando, Olivier de Schutter, Ugo Mattei
The Intro and Conclusion & Way forward will both be open access, and there's a discount code for purchase of the other chapters there.
@serenity- Would you mind outlining what you guys are in the process of doing with your family farm?
Not sure how useful this is but it's a start to telling the story of what we're doing - this week's blog post is a little summary of some of the steps we've taken so far, to record the process for ourselves as much as anything. We're finding it incredibly complex, time-consuming and detailed and I don't think we'd have the wherewithal to see the process through by ourselves, if we weren't working with a consultant to keep track of the whole process - not while we're still running a farm, anyway (and it's spring!!! we should be out thinning, not having meetings and filling out funding application forms!!!)
Anyway, here's the link - happy to answer questions. https://mafg.com.au/blog/blog/our-organic-farming-group-is-coming-together/
Cheers, Katie
This is great, Katie! Thanks so much for sharing.

Full-Mouth or Partial Dental Implant Restoration in Cocoa Beach
If you currently have dental implants, and you are looking to restore the beauty and natural function of your teeth, Steven Devins, DDS can help. Our doctor has over 40 years of experience, bringing the residents of Cocoa Beach the restorative dentistry they need most. A dental implant is basically a false tooth, or dental crown, with a small metal post in it. Titanium screws, which represent the root, come from the posts and are fastened to the jaw. In one simple visit, your teeth are permanent and natural again. Depending on your needs, you can receive a full mouth treatment or can have these implanted in certain areas on your upper or lower jaws. With all the function of a natural tooth, you won't even remember they are there.
How They Benefit You
As your implant dentist, Dr. Devins finds it important that you understand the benefits that come with restoring or replacing implants. They include:
- The improvement of speech because they will not shift like loose teeth or dentures
- No slipping that comes with dentures
- The preservation of natural smiles and other facial features that are lost with the void of teeth
- The protection of any healthy, surrounding teeth
- A long-lasting option that won't loosen over time
- The restoration of the natural function of the jaw and teeth
- Preventing jawbone or gum tissue shrinkage with a root replacement
- The prevention of bone loss
As you can see, dental implant restoration can be beneficial to anyone who is faced with the decision of how to repair dental implant damage that may seem irreparable. Whether you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth, an implant could be the right choice.

Business traps to avoid for the self-employed
Saturday, May 4, 2002
This past weekend my wife, Carolyn, and I took the kids to the carnival. It was the first time our kids had experienced the Zipper. That's the ride that hurls you into the air at breakneck speeds and shakes the loose change from your pocket in the process. As I looked to the floor for my loose change, my son, Winston, proceeded to share with me his lunch.
No, I'm not talking about a picnic. You know what I mean -- he vomited.
"Nice of you to bring that up Tim," you might say. No, it wasn't I. It was my son.
The owner of the carnival was standing close by. He felt terrible, so he offered us another ride on the Zipper -- free this time.
"Thanks, but no thanks," I said. I then had a good discussion with the owner about his business. I gave him a few bucks of free tax advice. He then gave me the $1.57 I lost on the ride. Here's the information I shared with him that day.
The structure
If you're going to run a business, you'll be able to operate in one of three common structures: A proprietorship, partnership or corporation. A proprietorship is simply you, in business for yourself.
The benefits? There is little or no cost to hanging your shingle and setting up a proprietorship, and there is little government regulation.
The drawbacks include unlimited personal liability for the obligations of the business, succession planning is not as easy as with a corporation, and your business may be viewed as very small (if you care about image). If you're a proprietor, the net income (or loss) of the business is reported on your personal tax return each year.
A partnership is much like a proprietorship in that it's simply a group of individuals joining together to operate a business with a view to profit. The benefits of a partnership over a proprietorship include a pooling of the skills of different people, and perhaps a greater access to capital. Partnerships can, however, lead to headaches if partners fail to work well together.
Like a proprietorship, all income or losses of the business are reported on the personal tax returns of the partners.
A corporation is a separate legal entity, and a separate taxpayer from the owner, so it must file its own tax return each year. Are there tax breaks? There can be.
A small business corporation is often entitled to a special deduction that results in active business income being taxed at about 20 per cent (it varies by province), which is generally much less than what the owner would pay personally. Now, once that income is paid out to you, the owner, as salary or dividends, the tax catches up to you.
To the extent you can earn income and leave some of it in the company without paying it out to yourself, you'll enjoy a deferral of tax. If your business is new and you're incurring losses, those losses will be trapped in the company until the company is profitable. So, losses would be more useful if they were incurred as a proprietor where the losses could be offset against other personal income.
Here's the general rule: Incorporating can make sense, but not until your business has grown in size and profitability to the point where you can leave some earnings in the company to defer tax.
The traps
There are two potential traps to watch out for if you're going to earn self-employment income.
Reasonable expectation of profit.
The taxman wants some assurance that your "business" is not merely a hobby. To be entitled to claim expenses, you must have a reasonable expectation of profit. This doesn't mean that you've got to report income every year, but it does mean that three or four years of recurring losses could flag your tax return.
By the way, the taxman doesn't often question losses when earned inside a corporation -- just when they're reported on your personal tax return.
Employee or self-employed.
If the taxman views you as simply being an employee of another business who is trying to pass himself off as being self-employed, the deductions you're claiming could be denied. The taxman applies four tests to assess your true status: The control test (do you control where, when and how you work?); the integration test (can the business for which you're working survive without you or are you too vital in the operations?); the economic reality test (do you assume financial risks in your work?); and, the specific results test (is there an end in sight to the project you're working on, or is there no specific result contemplated?).

I originally intended to review the milk chocolate one first, but this was the only version available and so I got hold of it. The wrapper looks very unspectacular, it is colored in an expressionless light yellow and has its name on it, backed with a broken white line which signals the crunch. And so looks the bar.
The aroma of rich of milk and sweet white chocolate fills the air as soon as you open the wrapper. Hmm, yummy.
The bar is divided into two parts. The top consists mainly of plain white chocolate, while crispy rice cereals dominate the bottom half. If you turn the bar around, you can see the rice crisps as well. You can hear and feel the crunch while breaking it. Even though its design is pretty simple, I think it lives up to its name very well.
The chocolate is as expected rich of milk and creamy, but a little too sickly. It's creamy but chrunchy at the same time. The rice crisps differ a little from the milky taste, but that's alright. Still, this is not a high quality chocolate and it mainly contains sugar, which you can taste very well. I am usually not a huge fan of all those sickly sweet white chocolate versions, but there are only a handfull of really good produced white chocolate bars.
The texture is really nice. You can chew it and feel the whole crunchiness of the bar, from the beginning to the very end, or you can let the chocolate melt inside your mouth and chew the rice after you have enjoyed the sweet chocolate experience. The second method can get sickly though.
