Ulta Beauty (ULTA) rebounded quickly from near yearly lows in March but in the last month, the stock's upward momentum is on pause. At a 24 times P/E that matches the pace of earnings growth rate of around 17 times earnings next year, investors must ask if it is time to take profits or to continue holding on the stock.
A number of bearish, analysts downgrades in late last year sent ULTA stock on a downward path, but management proved to skeptical investors that the company held more business value. Ulta's track record in the last five years shows consistent sales and earnings growth. Comparable sales stumbled only once, in 2017, albeit due to an unusually strong 2016 year. As the bar chart shows, below, comp. sales fell from 15.8 percent in 2016 to 11.8 percent in 2017. Still, store net sales grew as store openings increased:

Ulta is in the early innings of capturing its total addressable market. With a wide array of products across multiple beauty markets, Ulta has just 4 percent of the U.S. beauty market and 6 percent of the beauty products market. Its share of the services market is below 1 percent. Ulta clearly has plenty of growth ahead and so far, management is proving that it will capture more of the beauty market this year.
Ulta's Differentiating Offering
Ulta's business model hinges on targeting the "Beauty Enthusiast," which are those who are passionate about beauty and who offer the best experience in shopping, whether it is online or in-store. Beauty enthusiasts make up 77 percent of the revenue, compared to just 23 percent of non-beauty enthusiasts.
The company builds upon its loyal customer base through a membership program. As of May 2018, Ulta had 28.6 million active members, with which it uses targeted CRM campaigns to get them buying products. The Diamond tier launch, for example, awards those who spend more than $1,200 annually. The company has plenty of room in building its customer base. Ulta listed loyalty member acquisition, boosting spend in more categories, and beating out competitors, as its three main goals.
Amazon.com (AMZN) is the most dangerous but beatable competitor. The e-tailer may make most of its profits from AWS but on the retail front, it operates at low margin due to shipping costs and a lack of specialization. Conversely, Ulta has a motivated and passionate sales force that is winning its share of online AND offline sales.

In the last year, guest customers grew, with sales offline outpacing its online sales by 2:1. But with only 10 percent of the guests being loyalty members, Ulta has plenty of work ahead to convert them.
Catalysts for Growth
Ulta drives its business by offering brand product "newness." Below are the brands that keep its customers coming back and spending:

New store openings are a second catalyst for growth. Ulta's new stores have a payback period of just two years. Spending just $1.6 million for a 10,000 square foot store will bring in $4.5 million within five years:
Ulta projects opening 1,174 stores by end of 2018. This translates to $5.3 billion in additional revenue after five years.
To ward off the Amazon effect, Ulta's deep dive into e-commerce creates another opportunity for growing the business. In 2017, e-commerce grew 56 percent and accounted for one-tenth of sales.
Source: Ulta Beauty
Ulta is not an Amazon.com of cosmetics but the five-fold sales growth in the last five years is impressive. Management said it will improve its fulfilment capabilities by fulfilling 95 percent of orders within 3 days.
Outlook for FY 2018 and Takeaway
On top of spending $625 million buying back shares, Ulta will increase shareholder value by delivering higher sales (low-teens), grow its e-commerce business by around 40 percent, and reinvest in its business using its "earnings" made through tax reform. At a $10.75 EPS for this year, the 23x forward P/E is substantially lower than the 85x AMZN stockholders are paying. Needless to say, ULTA shareholders should keep holding the stock. DIYers (do-it-yourselfers) who bought the stock when it was mentioned late last year will enjoy more capital gains ahead.

Born in Yorkshire, England, Philippa discovered a love of sewing and knitting as a child and says it is difficult to remember when she first began to sew as "It was something that I have always done and something that was always being done around me. From being very small my mother made my dresses, one grandma knitted me an endless supply of cardigans and the other embroidered all kinds of lovely things." A second hand sewing machine for her 13th birthday enabled her to progress from making dolls clothes to full sized garments for herself, family and friends. "I sewed all the time making clothes, bags, rag dolls and just about anything else I could think of. At age fifteen I made a fully lined velvet jacket, and at seventeen a tailored wool trench coat with hand rolled linen interlining and hand-stitched gimped buttonholes. I decided that I wanted to become a 'fashion designer' - whatever that was!"
Leaving school at the age of eighteen Philippa enrolled on an intensive four year college course where she trained to be a clothes designer. "This was great fun and I learnt so much about the clothing industry - from how to calculate work study payments for machinists to designing a production line to tailoring and pattern cutting." On completion of the course Philippa worked in industry for 5 years designing lingerie, and by the age of 25 had been promoted to head designer which gave her a bigger role with a considerable amount of responsibility. She travelled widely and became much more actively involved in dealing with our customers.
Moving to Saudi Arabia in 1989 (to join her husband who was working there) Philippa set up a successful business making bespoke wedding and evening dresses.
It was in Saudi that she began to quilt. In 1996 a chance meeting with a Welsh quilting teacher led to a three morning course where Philippa made a small paper pieced pineapple quilt which used four fabrics. She was hooked! Philippa describes a 1999 visit to the US, where she took four days of classes with Margaret Miller at Quilting-By-The-Lake, as a 'Road to Damascus' experience. Here for the first time she was exposed to art quilts and the many techniques and styles modern quilting encompasses. From this moment on she has made only original quilts using her own hand dyed fabrics. These quilts employ intricate curved piecing and the heavy use of free-motion machine quilting with trapunto. Philippa feels her technical expertise and designer training have enabled her to bring her own style to her work.
Philippa has had great success in quilt shows in both the UK and America, and won many top prizes including awards in four consecutive AQS shows (including the 'Bernina Workmanship Award' with 'Pop Stars'in 2002 and 'Best of Show' with 'Lime Light' in 2003).
Most recently 'Star Sign' won the 'Pfaff Machine Artistry Award' at the 2007 International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX.
In 2004 after living in Saudi Arabia for 15 years Philippa and her family returned to Yorkshire, driving home - a journey of 10,000 miles across twelve countries over nine weeks. After a break from quilting to take time out to help in restoring their Victorian home Philippa is enjoying the opportunity to teach more widely when she's not working in her delightful purpose built studio.
Philippa travels internationally visiting the US at least twice a year to teach a wide range of design and techniques classes. These range from half day to five day sessions and cover all the techniques used in her own work. For more information email Philippa or visit her website: www.philippanaylor.com.

I am lucky that, right at the beginning of my work here, I get to participate in one of WWF's most successful actions ever: 23rd March every year is the day of "Earth Hour" – the symbolic act of switching off the light for one hour over the years has grown to be popular in many places around the world, from Sydney to Paris.
In Toliara, Earth Hour is celebrated with an, in my view, highly appropriate event: A cyclone ravaged this region about a month ago, leaving many families homeless. To ease their economic situation, while at the same time raising awareness for the destruction of forests for charcoal production, WWF has decided to distribute 1,000 economical stoves to cyclone victims. These stoves are constructed, following a very simple principle, which allows for a reduced use of charcoal for cooking. Outside the venue, the NGO that has developed these stoves showcases some more sophisticated models, including a solar stove with a built-in battery that has several plug-ins, such as for a cell phone charger and a plug-in. I am seriously impressed by the ingenuity of the inventor.
One thing every traveller knows is that it is almost inevitable to get ripped off or robbed at the beginning of your stay. Thus, I should not be angry with myself for paying 10,000 Ariary for a pousse-pousse ride, which should normally cost about 1,500 Ariary. I am angry anyway.
Going for karaoke with half the WWF staff is a good way of getting to know my new colleagues (and their singing qualities). I am impressed with my boss' very authentic Jamaican accent, as he interprets "No Woman No Cry".

Tudor Hearts Set
This set of needlework accessories is one of the few mondern cross stitch projects I have ever done. Also one of the few kits I've ever bought. Cotton thread on Aida fabric. The design above is a needlecase. Designs are from Textile Heritage.
The matching scissor fob.
This is a small purse.
The top section of the inside of the purse was undecorated, so I decided to put my initials and the year there.

In spite of the fact that we are always busy the Bros still took the time to celebrate that spring has finally arrived in Copenhagen today.
Apart from sunbathing in front of the BB&S building we are working on two new prototypes, the Area 48 Soft and Ledina Light engine kit for Arri ST1 fresnels that will both start shipping in July 2012.
Besides that we are also involved in a new and very exiting Danish research project that will be kicked off next week.
We will of course follow up on both the new products and the research, so 'stay tuned'.

This seems to be a real season of eating. Everyone wants to have a luncheon or dinner to celebrate the month of December. It is fun but it can make you feel bad; however, no one stops.
Yesterday the book club had their annual December luncheon out. We decided years ago to no hostessing with food and drink; there would be no house cleaning necessary for our book club. We met at the library, dashed in, discussed the book, and left to finish the rest of the day tending our own affairs. We did plan to eat a Christmas luncheon out each December.
This year we went to Mohaska Farmhouse, a new place. They bake their own breads and build a menu around bread dishes. They offer sandwiches, soups, and wood-fired pizzas with thick crusts. There is a Bohemian air about the place. Sawed circles of trees serve as the wall décor…interesting. If their fire ever burns low, I guess they can burn the walls!
Our December books are always slight volumes due to the busy season. We save the block buster, 500 page types for other times of the year. This year we had two small books: The Last Night at the Red Lobster and Billy Graham's Nearing Home. I was sorely disappointed in both. No one had rave reviews for either book. One gal did like Red Lobster because of the great characterization the writer did in his story. However, she too agreed that the plot was lame….ended with no real resolution or direction.
We will take January off. River Town is the book for February. But there are many things to be done, many books to be read, many meals to be eaten before then!
Isn't this waitress a cutie?

Several cities have existed on this site, which is significant for the interchange of culture and politics at a site of major strategic value. It is claimed that Merv was briefly the largest city in the world in the 12th century.[1] The site of ancient Merv has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

28th November 2016
For many people the culprit of limescale, grime and smells in washing machines is hard water. Hard water can cause multiple problems to all home appliances that use water, especially washing machines. Sometimes it is easy to tell you have hard water but sometimes you might not think about it when washing clothes or don't even know you could see and feel a big difference when switching to soft water.
Hard water contains Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Copper, and more which then leads to limescale build-up in your pipes and appliances. Limescale will shorten the lifespan of your home appliances. If you have hard water you will notice soap scum build-up on your toilets, showers, sinks, dishes and glassware and more. When doing laundry, you will notice your clothes with rust stains, yellowed whites, dull looking or dingy colours and even rough to the touch. To keep your whites whiter, your colours brighter and enjoy fluffy towels, you can install a water softener in your home. This will also prevent costly damage to the electric heating element, which is used to heat water inside the washing machine. By using soft water, you can have all the advantages of soft water and also prevent future limescale build-up throughout your home.
To clean a washing machine of limescale and grime build-up you will need two ingredients, vinegar and baking soda. For top-loading washing machines, fill up your washing machine with hot water on the longest cycle with no clothes in the washer. Depending on your washing machine size, add about 250ml of vinegar, close the lid and let the washing machine run for a few minutes. Open the lid and add 30g of baking soda, shut the lid once more and let run for a couple more minutes. Once that is complete and all the ingredients are mixed together, open the lid and let the water mixture stand for about 30-60 minutes. You can dip a cloth or a sponge into the vinegar and baking soda water to wipe down the rest of your washing machine. Once you've waited long enough for a good soak you can let the cycle finish and wipe out the bottom and sides of the machine of any leftover residue.
For front-loading washing machines, mix baking soda with a bit of water and add it to your detergent container. Pour the vinegar into the drum and run a washing cycle with the highest temperature. When the cycle has been completed, use a cloth or a sponge to wipe the washing machine clean.
For both top and front load, it is highly recommended to run another full cycle with no clothes to rid the washing machine of any leftover vinegar and baking soda. Cleaning your washing machine with natural washing machine descaler is a good way to cut through the built up limescale and will further prevent the limescale after you install a water softener.

Cathy says government response to childcare concerns disappointing
Posted March 24, 2017
Ms McGOWAN (Indi) (10:57): I am so disappointed to be here today, because we have missed an opportunity to provide services that meet the needs for rural and regional Australia. I have to say that the politicking with this policy, connecting core funding responsibilities of child care to welfare cuts, splitting the bills in the Senate, and then the reintroduction, is even more disappointing. To me it is a clear sign that someone in the system, someone in the government, is missing the point.
While I commit to continue to work with the government and with departmental staff and service providers, people like Ann Bowler and Rod Wangman, they will continue to do the services in our community and we will make the best of this. But what it clearly shows is that there is no overarching policy for rural and regional Australia about how we should be treated. As a result, we are working backwards and playing catch-up. We are trying to fit policy to the needs of particular communities and we are failing.
In addressing the Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Jobs for Families Child Care Package) Bill 2016 today, I specifically would like to call Senator Birmingham into the House. Today, Senator Birmingham had a letter published in my local paper, the Wangaratta Chronicle. I will use some of his comments to refute his arguments. Senator Birmingham, I am looking forward to you watching and reading this speech and telling me where I have it wrong, because I am not politically grandstanding. I am not here for any other purpose than to represent my community. I am here because you came to our community. Together with me, you listened to everything my community had to tell you. We have met with your staff, we have met with the Labor Party, we have met with government, we have met with all the crossbenchers. We have put hundreds of hours into this particular topic. We have given it everything we have, because what we wanted to say to you is: there are problems, and we could work together to fix them up. We had great trust, in the beginning, that you would listen to what we had to say. When you came to Wodonga and spoke to the TV cameras and said, 'Trust us; It will work out,' we really wanted to believe you.
But, sadly, we are back in the parliament today with the original bit of legislation we started with. So there was an opportunity to try the whole process again, to re-move our amendments, to go through all the work that we did a couple of weeks ago with the omnibus legislation, but we are not going to do that. We are going to call it a loss—a really sad loss. And, in calling it a loss, we will be gracious and we will work together to make it work better. I give you and all the government members here my commitment that we will do everything we possibly can as Independents never to be in this situation again. We will focus 100 per cent of our time on getting a really decent policy on rural and regional Australia—a policy that commits to deliver comprehensive services that meet our needs. We have learned our lesson on this single issue, and we will not be going there again.
Let me address your specific points, Minister. You said:
The Turnbull government's early childhood education and care reforms have been comprehensively designed with regional Australia in mind.
That is good to know. When we put up amendments to this House, so that we could test the logic of that, they were knocked down by your government 70 to 72. Your government was not prepared to back this up by getting the statistics that would show us that the reforms had worked. So I ask you to reconsider those amendments in the Senate. Come back to the House in six or 12 months time and show us that the reforms have worked. Frankly, I do not believe they will have. Minister, you also said:
Families in cities, in regional centres and in the bush know that our early childhood education and care system is not working for them.
We all agree with that. We would like a system that did work for us, and we agree with your statistics: the system of mobile child care, as it has been funded—or budget based funding services—absolutely needs reform. But the sad thing is, we do not think you are reforming it in a way that is going to work. You say in your letter:
Many of the services in regional and rural areas are part of a scheme set up 40 years ago that limits the amount of funding they can get from the government and stops them from growing to support families.
Interestingly, Minister, my community tells me that exactly the same problems are built into this legislation. It is a grant based process, limited to a maximum of five years. It does not allow for new services to be instigated into the long term. We believe that many of the problems in the initial program are running out again, so I would be very keen to have you and your department's staff tell me how this system is avoiding those problems, because everybody in my community tells me it is not. You talk about the plans the government has. You say:
Rather than reduce their support we plan to increase it and provide more opportunity for services to respond to changes in their community.
We are supporting services onto a new model of funding that targets increased support towards those families working the most and earning the least, while our 'Child Care Safety Net' worth $1 billion will help services that might not otherwise be viable—like some mobile education and care services in regional and remote communities.
That is great, but the thing is it is not going to be policy driven or needs based—we are going to have to apply for grants. Minister, you have told me there will be a designated amount of money out of that $1 billion that we can apply for, but it still will be short term. It will not be enabling us to build the workforce and the capacity that we need in our rural communities. I need to say here that what makes rural communities special is that we do not have childcare centres. Because we do not have childcare centres, most of the service, which is designed for centre-based care, is not relevant to us. So the subsidies do not apply, and if we cannot get the grant we do not have a service, or, if we have not got the people in the community to apply for a grant, we do not have the service. Minister, you said in the letter to the Chronicle:
Firstly, the services will have access to the child care subsidy—
that is no good if we do not have child care—
which will allow growth in funding per child for the first time.
Sure it would, if you have a childcare centre. But if you live in the towns that I live in, we do not have childcare centres, so the subsidy is irrelevant for us. For you to print that in the paper, as if it works, is so wrong. Thirdly, you say they will 'access the $110 million Community Child Care Fund'. I beg your pardon; that is the fund and the grants—I just made a mistake around the childcare safety net. But that is the fund, and that is so limited and will go nowhere near to meeting the demand we are going to have to provide child care for the particular groups that I care about, which are farming families and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.
It is not just me who says this is not going to work; Fiona Stanley, who was Australian of the Year, got on the phone. She was really, really upset about the changes that you are going to make. She is not convinced that you have got it right. I am not convinced you have got it right. My community is not convinced you have got it right. You keep telling us that you have got it right, but you have not come forward and said how our rural and farming families will be able to create new services that will last for the next 20, 50 or 100 years, which is what our sister cities will be able to have access to. They will have services that work. There are clearly things about this package that are good; they are really good if you are town based and you have access to a service. They are no good if you live in the country and you do not have access to a service. And no-one is saying the changes to the funding will work. Minister, you also say:
We will also remove red tape that currently stops child care services from only operating on certain days or for limited hours, which should also help regional Australia …
For sure, if you have a service. But if you do not have a service, what do you do? You apply for a grant, if you can get it, for one or two or three years. Minister, you are not instigating a mainstream service into our communities. You continue:
Overall, official analysis shows our reforms are set to benefit around one million families across the country.
We have no argument about that. What we are asking is this: how are you going to make sure that, in the long term, our farming and Aboriginal families have access to the services?
Your letter goes on. You say that the amendments recently suggested are already addressed through the package and are unfortunately more about political grandstanding than supporting Australian families. We could not see it there in the package. We cannot see how the things that we have asked for are addressed. You talk about the guidelines. The guidelines are not in existence yet. The guidelines will have to be drawn up after this legislation is passed. Of course we are happy to have input into the guidelines and we will try to make them work; but guidelines are not legislation. They do not force whichever government is here in parliament to do what it needs to be doing. It is a matter of 'Trust us—we will look after you.' Well, we did not want to do that. We actually wanted to make sure that the changes that you have promised deliver what your government said they would do and that you must report back to parliament on how they are going.
It is true, Minister, that you say you have provided me with the information; but none of it has satisfied me. It is true that you say you will continue to engage and speak with me and hope that we will appreciate how your changes will make child care more affordable, accessible and flexible for Australian families. Sadly, I am not convinced. I am not convinced because the people in my community are not convinced. I am not convinced because people come to my door and say, 'Cathy, this is not going to work. Can you go to parliament and represent us?' I am not convinced because the experts in my community have asked me, as their representative, to come forward and make their case.
We have lost. This legislation will go through the House today. It will go through the Senate. I am sure that there will be some really good outcomes from it. We will continue to work.
I would now like to move in my closing comments to how we could have done this better and how we could have made this work. The little bit of my conversation that I am really wanting to talk about is the opportunity that the minister and the government have to work with the regional ministerial task force. If I could bring in my final comments here, to finish on what I hope is an optimistic note, I am really pleased to see that there are five Liberal members and three Nationals on this task force. There are some very key people, including the minister for this particular legislation. So that is a positive step. I am really hoping that you can work, as a ministerial task force, to look at child care, transport, telecommunications and education; to look at our young people and how we operate in rural and regional Australia; and bring it into a whole so that we do not have to come here to the parliament every single time and fight the same battles, saying, 'Child care is not working for us; public transport is not working for us; the NBN is not working for us; changes to higher education were not working for us.' It is so time consuming and it lacks vision.
What we are hoping is that the regional ministers task force will take this lesson to heart. It is a great opportunity to deliver a coherent regional policy that ensures that all regional Australians have access to really good government services. Hopefully the task force will focus on the budget that is coming up. Hopefully the budget will deliver our long-requested budget impact statements as part of that private member's bill that I moved to amend the Charter of Budget Honesty Act, calling on the government, if it makes changes that impact on rural and regional Australia, to come and tell us first what the effects will be. Do the money, do the economics; do not do that last. Let us understand how the budget is actually a budget that includes rural and regional Australia in its planning and design. I am really hoping that the ministerial task force takes a look at that legislation, and when we get the budget in May it has really clear financial indicators of how budget measures are going to grow—ideally that will be the case—rural and regional Australia.
In October 1999 the Hon. John Anderson hosted a regional Australia summit here in Parliament House. I had the real pleasure of being here. As a result of that summit John Anderson set up the Regional Women's Advisory Council. Could I really encourage the government to take a leaf out of the book of past members—of the National Party in this case. That summit worked. It did really good relationship building. It created a task force. It created a combined, bipartisan approach to policy. So can I ask the regional ministers task force, if it does nothing else, could it call another summit? Could we invite John Anderson back? Could we get him here in parliament telling us what he did that worked so well? He was an outstanding minister and he did such great things for rural and regional Australia. We have a really opportunity now to do that same sort of thing again, and not put us back into the wilderness of coming into the parliament and having these really scrappy debates about child care. It should be at such a higher level, and we should be able to build our trust together and not be arguing through letters to the paper about what does not work.
In bringing my comments to a close I will say how disappointed I am. I am really disappointed in the politics of this. We deserved better. I am sorry the minister has not been able to come to the table and deliver for Aboriginal families and for us in rural and regional areas. We will continue to work with you on the guidelines to make the best we can out of that. We will continue to ask for statistics to come back into parliament so that we can get a real sense of how this program is rolling out. Then we will work to make the amendments we can in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I look forward to meeting with you, Minister, and working on how we can make the best out of this very poor circumstance.

Welcome to The Giving Tree Yoga Studio! We are delighted to have you as our guest. The following
guidelines have been developed to ensure that every student has a positive and peaceful
experience at our studio.
Arrive to class on time. New students: please arrive 10-15 minutes early. Those arriving late are expected to wait in the common area until the teacher is finished with
the opening meditation. Student MUST WAIT UNTIL the teacher comes to open the curtain and retrieve the late students. At no time if the curtain is closed should a
student enter on his/her own accord. Please check in and take care of payment arrangements before class.
Remember to bring your own mat, but if you don't…we have them to rent for $1.
Refrain from wearing scents. Many people are sensitive or allergic to various fragrances and scents.
Enter fresh and clean. Do not wear perfume or cologne. Taking a bath or shower both before and after practicing refreshes the body
and mind.
Please remove your shoes at the door (an ancient custom from the East). If possible, wear form fitting clothes and no shoes. Yoga is traditionally practice in bare feet,
but if this is uncomfortable, socks are fine. Layers also help to adjust for temperature changes during and after class.
Absolutely no cell-phones or pagers are allowed in the class – even on the vibrating setting as this is many times still audible. Please place all valuables in your bag and
store in the changing room or in the back of the room.
If possible, practice on an empty stomach. Wait at least 2-3 hours (or longer) after eating and empty the bladder and bowels. A full stomach is a hindrance to the
correct practice of postures and breathing. If hungry before class, try a piece of fruit, a vegetable juice, or some tea.
Inform the teacher before class if you have any injuries, diseases, recent surgeries, low back or disc problems, inflammation of the head, stomach, or eyes.
It's okay to sweat which assists the purification process through movement and heat. Bring your own towel or practice rug to absorb sweat - our blankets are not to
be used for this purpose.
Your teacher may ask you not to drink water during class as it may reduce body heat and move energy in a downward direction (apana). The focus in an asana practice
is on upward flow (prana). However, if refraining from hydration is too much, please listen to your body and do what is best for you. If you are dizzy, immediately sit
Be considerate of the sacredness of the space - pick up after yourself. Practice good "Prop-asana" - please fold blankets neatly and replace all props in an organized
fashion. Leave the space in better shape than you found it.
Keep voices low when socializing in the common area as other classes may still be in progress.
Occasional spurts of aggressive, imbalanced practice are dangerous. Do your best to approach each pose – especially inversions - with care and respectful caution.
Regular practice is necessary to receive the full benefits of yoga.
Inform the teacher if you are pregnant. Practice should always be done under the supervision of a physician.
If comfortable, remove contact lenses before class and please remove glasses for savasana, the final relaxation. (Be sure to place glasses in a safe place - maybe on a
block – so the teacher will not accidentally step on them.
During the menstrual cycle, inversions are sometimes not so comfortable. Listen to your body and make a decision that is appropriate for you.
Be sure to notify the teacher of any injuries or medical conditions. This helps the teacher know how to assist you and give
you modifications.

About us
In 1993, founders of Nathania were granted the vision to serve God through gospel and praises. Answering the vision, the founders established a choir namely Nathania - where its members come from various churches, but are bonded by the same spirit and passion to serve God.
The choir is driven by a strong commitment to declare the love of Jesus and the salvation that is given for every human kind worldwide. As noted in Psalm 66:1-2 (NIV), Nathania Choir has the willingness to make His praise glorious. Until recently, the choir has performed in various churches at different places by maintaining its consistency to bring every heart close to God through praises.
By 1998, Nathania was restructured into a foundation called Yayasan Nathania Ministry. It is registered in Jakarta District Court No. 32/1998 and Department of Religion. Ever since its establishment, Nathania is not tied up with
any particular church or denominations to meet its flexibility in organizing its activity. Along with the foundation, activities are no longer focused on choir songs but are combined with evangelism and education, in which each
activity is coordinated by its respective department. The three departments - Choir, Evangelism and Education Department - are bonded together to serve Our Lord Jesus.
One of the activities held by Evangelism and Education Department is to make the detainees at North Sumatera's jails the disciple of God through Spiritual Rehabilitation Ministry Program. This program has been running since 2003 and has two main goals, which are repentance and serving God afterwards. Presently, it has taught more than 2000 detainees. It has six months intensive program that discuss about the principles of God's words. Up to now, the program has served approximately 22 jails around North Sumatera.
Ever since, Nathania Choir is transformed into an evangelism choir, and has been widely known as a blessed choir all over places. Evangelism, thus, has been devoted to deliver the God's news in some parts of Indonesia.

The Division of Internal Medicine provides the foundation upon which many of the other patient care services at Westchester Medical Center rely. Consistent leadership during the past 15 years has been responsible for the division's expansion from four general internists to the current staff of 20 full- and part-time physicians. The hospitalist group is an integral part of the new computerized, handheld sign-out system recently implemented in the department, which provides a powerful tool for communication of key patient information from one clinician to another.
Members are very active in clinical research and coordinate many research projects. Areas of research interest include technological solutions to patient care, quality improvement and patient safety, epidemiology, decision analysis, healthcare research, screening for and early detection of disease, ethics and innovative methods of clinical teaching.
The division operates a group practice providing outpatient services in new offices located at 19 Bradhurst Ave., Hawthorne, where physicians are able to provide patient services just a few minutes from Westchester Medical Center.
Advances in medical therapy for cystic fibrosis allow patients to live longer, healthier lives. More than 10 percent of newly diagnosed patients are more than 18 years of age. Physicians are dedicated to ensuring there is a smooth transition of care of young patients to the adult care setting. The center provides state-of-the-art medications and treatments that continue to improve the longevity and quality of the adult CF patient's life.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Specialists in internal medicine are commonly called internists. In modern practice, most internists are subspecialists: that is, they generally limit their medical practice to problems of one organ system or to one particular area of medical knowledge.
Internists have a lengthy clinical and scientific training in their areas of medical interest and have special expertise in the use of prescription drugs or other medical therapies.

A 15-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by four people, including a private builder, in Southeast Delhi's Jamia Nagar area, police said on Monday. The builder is a resident of Saheen Bagh. The accused, a married man having four children, had allegedly raped the victim for over a period of six months in his flat.
The victim is a student of Class 9 in a government school. She first met the builder through her classmate, who is a common friend, police said. "The accused had made her MMS and then started blackmailing her. He also threatened to upload it on the social media sites. He raped the victim in various flats located in South Delhi," a senior police officer said.
"The victim is three months pregnant. The victim had narrated the ordeal to her mother who then approached the police through a private NGO. The police registered a case of rape against the accused persons only after local residents and NGO workers intervened into the matter. The police are investigating the case and have recorded the statement of the victim. "We are looking for the absconding accused," the police officer added.

The fire burned down the tenement house and claimed a life. The culprit must be brought to justice.
"The day after the fire Pola entered my office and asked to find the arsonist. I was already on the trail."
Pola Chapelle: I need to talk to you, detective. I have a case for you. I'll even pay extra.
Detective: You don't need to pay me to catch Paul's killer, Pola.
Pola Chapelle: But I will. I know you'd do a lot for me, but I want this to be professional. You'll catch the killer, I'll publish his face in the Daily News for the whole city to see.
Detective: Don't worry, I'll do my job right. But I better get going, the trail grows cold every minute.
Pola Chapelle: Good luck, gumshoe. I believe in you.
Pola Chapelle: But I will. I know you're my friend, but I want this to be professional. You'll catch the killer, I'll publish his face in the Daily News for the whole city to see.
Detective: Don't worry, I'll do my job right. But I better get going, the trail grows cold every minute.
Pola Chapelle: Good luck, girl. I believe in you.
Detective: I need to investigate the crime scene, interrogate the witnesses, rummage through the embers.

If you fail:
Detective: The fire died out a long time ago, and the Police secured all evidence. I have nothing to work on, and Paul's funeral starts really soon. I better get going.
If you win:
Detective: Hmmm. I think there's still one more lead I can follow.
Detective: McLean? Can you talk to me?
Leonardo McLean: Why? I'm a crook, after all. You probably think I'm the arsonist.
Detective: No, it's not like that! I need your help. Because you're a crook.
Detective: You broke into that apartment building, right? You must have done some research, gather intel. Anything I should know about?
Leonardo McLean: Well, an insurance agent was visiting the place, so I thought that maybe someone had valuable stuff in there. But the fire started a day after.
City search: When in Doubt, Follow the MoneyEdit
Detective: I should find the insurance agent Leo told me about. Maybe I should ask at the company's headquarters.
The insurance agency is:
- in the distance of 1 from railways
- not more than 2 from a press building
- more than 1 from train stations
- more than 1 from offices
- more than 2 from gas stations
If you fail:
Detective: Darn, I've wasted my time on this wild goose chase. Finding this agent is no good for me now.
If you win:
Detective: Metropolitan Insurance Agency. Isn't this where Maud Beans works?
Detective: Excuse me, Ms. Beans, but I've heard that one of your agents insured a place that burned down at 25th Street. Paul Litzer died in that fire.
Maud Beans: Oh my, that's awful! I can't tell you much, because we're running an investigation and it'll be weeks before we each a conclusion... But I found out that one of the apartments was insured just before the fire.
Detective: This looks like an insurance fraud.
Crime scene search: No Rest For The WickedEdit
Detective: While everyone gathers for the service, it's my chance to find the arsonist. The question is, who insured an apartment just before the fire?
If you fail:
Detective: Oh no, the service is starting. I need to go.
If you win:
Lucy Gordon: We need to talk, detective.
Detective: Oh, Lucy. Are you here to try to arrest me again? If I'm not mistaken, I just broke into a car.
Lucy Gordon: Please, stop it. I'm sorry that I didn't trust you and I came here to tell you that I... wait, you broke into a car? What for?
Detective: To get this. A business card from an insurance agency. The owner of this car insured his apartment just before the fire. I'm sure that if we take his prints...
Lucy Gordon: ... they'll match the prints from the jerry can! You're right! We have to watch closely all the people attending the funeral!
Suspect identification: The Burning ConscienceEdit
Detective: One of the people here is responsible for the arson and Paul's death. But who?
Lucy Gordon: You'll be able to figure that out. I'll watch the exits and make sure no one sneaks out.

If you win:
Detective: Hold on, Bravucci. We need to talk.
John Bravucci: Please, contact my assistant. I'm in a hurry...
Detective: To pick up the insurance money?
John Bravucci: I have no idea what are you talking about!
Detective: Cut me some slack, Bravucci. The police have the jerry can with your prints, and the insurance agency is on your trail. How long will it take for them to connect the dots?
Detective: You won't get away with it, John. You're done for. I hope you're ready for a life in jail... or worse.
John Bravucci: I... I never wanted to kill anyone, I swear. I Just wanted to get the insurance money. I have serious gambling debts, you know... If I knew he'd die...
Detective: You'll tell that to officer Gordon. You can take it from here, Lucy. I'm done with this wise-guy.
Detective: Hold on, Bravucci. We need to talk about your gambling debt.
John Bravucci: I thought we agreed that's part of my bad boy attitude. You like it!
Detective: Even if I did, bad boys do not kill people. Villains do.
John Bravucci: I never meant to kill anyone, it was an accident! I was in it just for the insurance money! You hang out with that crook, McLean, I'm sure you understand!
Detective: Well, I thought the same: McLean is a crook, he's always up to no good. I should watch him closely. Looks like I've been watching in the wrong way.
Detective: He's a boy scout compared to you. He's helping me. You? You're an ego-centrical hypocrite who thinks he can get away with everything as long as he is charming enough.
John Bravucci: You think I'm not charming? I'll show you charming! I'll sway the judges and then destroy you just like I did with that doctor!
Detective: John, you can play a tough guy all you want, but you're nothing more than a second-grade actor. You can take it from here, Lucy. I'm done with him.
If you fail:
Detective: I'm sorry, Pola. I failed.
Pola Chapelle: It's okay. Really. Your unconditional support is even more important for me than catching the killer.
Detective: It's a kind thing for you to say. But it's not over yet, Pola. I'll try, and try, and try again until I catch that jerk.
If you win:
Detective: It's over, Pola. Bravucci is behind bars. The police has incriminating evidence against him. He won't be able to slip through the cracks of the justice system.
Pola Chapelle: I'm not even sure, what I feel... His arrest gave me no joy. But maybe it gave me closure.
Detective: We tied all the loose ends... we did it like professionals.
Pola Chapelle: Yes. My dad would approve.
Detective: Come on, I'll walk you home.
Detective: It's over, Pola. Bravucci is behind bars. The police has incriminating evidence against him. He won't be able to slip through the cracks... Do you know I almost let him ask me out?
Pola Chapelle: This case was hard on both of us. To be honest, his arrest gave me no joy. But maybe it gave me closure.
Detective: We both handled it well. Like professionals.
Pola Chapelle: Yes. My dad would approve.
Detective: Come on, we'll walk to your home.

Russian club makes 10,000km trip for league game, leaves with 0-0 draw
Baltika Kaliningrad travelled 10,000km for a Russian second division game against Luch Vladivostok and left underwhelmed.
Russian second division side Baltika Kaliningrad made a 10,000 kilometre journey to face Luch Vladivostok in the far east of Russia on Saturday but headed home with only a goalless draw from one of the longest away trips on the planet.
Baltika, based in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad found between Poland and Lithuania, travelled to Vladivostok hoping to boost their promotion hopes.
But they were probably lacking much of an away following given the continent-spanning trip of more than 10,000km.
Although the team will have travelled by aeroplane, even that trip would have taken over 12 hours.
or ?
Easy choice for Baltika Kaliningrad, who travelled 10,000km for a goalless draw with Luch Vladivostok on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/3MWL0aQ9D6

Any fans hoping to drive would have needed to give themselves approximately five-and-a-half days, or 134 hours – and that is not counting the return trip.
Anyone who did make the journey from Kaliningrad probably felt somewhat let down by the goalless stalemate in Vladivostok.

*at the risk of patronizing somebody, a gerund is a verb turned into a noun, usually by adding -ing. Not nearly as exciting as turning a noun into a verb--as in I Googled "gerund" because I couldn't remember the fancy name for a verb that's been nounified.
Teaching English to eleven pre-freshmen. They've got to do well in their classes this summer or all bets are off for fall quarter--like probation, except they're trying to get in, not trying to stay out.
Assistant-coaching Mr. Baseball's t-ball team. I get to stand in the dugout and keep the helmets coming on and off and the bat swinging in safe directions and the players batting in the right order. Sometimes I stand out in the field too. I Almost teared up today on the way home (really, I almost did) when I caught a whiff of the distinct chemical smell of my jersey--shocked at the memories and emotions connected with that smell, how much I loved playing baseball as a kid, and how special (for lack of a less sentimental word) the uniform used to make me feel.
(No, that is not my thoughtful coach pose. I've got a mouthful of sunflower seeds and I'm trying to figure out how to spit out the husks without spitting out the actual seed as well.)
Packing boxes like mad. Currently I am sitting on our living room couch and to my left are fifteen boxes stacked in the corner. Across the room are three more. There are one or two in the dining room. Another two on the book shelves. A half-dozen in the boys room, four or five in the hallway, three in our bedroom, and another couple in the closet. It's to the point that I can't pack anything else without seriously hindering our ability to function (Just today the Monkey asked about his green bike, which I'd packed days ago. I had to open up a box and extract the bike so he could ride it. If he asks about his Little People Noah's ark, I'm going to play dumb).
Caring for the QB. She is sick. Really sick. Living off a diet of bland tea and fudge sickles sick. I'm ready for a one-story apartment.
Finding a place to live in Lubbock. I should say "found" a place, and not a moment too soon. We're moving in two and a half weeks. We just sent a deposit check to The Enclave Apartments in Lubbock, where we'll be living for at least three months while we explore more permanent housing options.
Examining teeth. I recently poked my head in the Monkey's mouth and discovered that his two-year molars are really, really weird looking. Like two-teeth-smashed-together weird. Like the occasional conjoined strawberry weird (click on the image for a blown-up image).
Watching a lot of television. Since the QB has been sick, we've spent a lot more time than usual watching television. We watched an episode of Matlock today (classic stay-home sick entertainment, and still on at 1pm). We watched America's Got Talent (our new favorite. Mostly because of the judges: Piers Morgan is much kinder than Simon. Sharon Ozborne reminds me of my mother--If my mother had spent 30 years managing rock bands. David Hasselhoff's favorite line is "This is what this show is all about," and he gets way too excited about anyone in a bikini on stage, but that may be a holdover from a previous life, so can we really blame him?) Watched a bit of local news (local news, I've decided, is the medium by which people in hell learn about what is going on in Heaven).
One side effect of so much TV is that the boys have been getting to bed a little later than usual. This is the monkey, at 9:15 pm, after Mr. Baseball had fallen asleep and we'd spent twenty minutes trying to get the Monkey to stay in his room. He'd slept until after 4pm that day, so we caved in and popped popcorn.
Reading the scriptures. Thanks to readthescriptures.com, which sends me a daily email reading, I've read from the Book of Mormon nearly every day for the past month. This proves two things: first, the internet can be a really cool way of connecting with information. And second, I live entirely too much at the mercy of my inbox. I think eventually there will be a name for the disorder that compels people to check their email fifty times a day. I think they'll call it "I-want-people-to-like-me-itus." If you're into that kind of thing (reading the scriptures, not obsessing about whether or not people like you), I strongly recommend checking out their customizable reading calendars and team reading options (and no, the website is not paying me for this endorsement, though if they're looking to pay someone, I'm not against selling out like that).
Eating too much. We're busy around here. Worn out. Tired. Stressed. And when I get stressed and tired and spread thin, all I want to do is eat. Chocolate, of course, but we've also had ice cream and cookies and chicken nuggets and Ruffles potato chips, among other things. For a household that usually eats whole wheat everything and gets funny looks at the grocery store because of our cart full of produce (its not uncommon for the checker to have difficulty recognizing some of the "weird" produce we buy--you know, weird, like jicama, winter squash, and bean sprouts), all this junk is a new low.
We're such grocery store snobs. We live in one of the fattest states in the nation, and consider it a point of pride to buy as little pre-packaged food as possible. When we see a cart overflowing with TV dinners, fish sticks, Gogurt and 24 packs of Pepsi we get all self-righteous.
Let's see, pride cometh before the...the...how does that expresssion go? I can't remember... cometh before the...
Sleeping less than I should. Which is why I am going to end this post now. The Athens edition of the Franklin Chronicle is winding down. Soon we'll say good-bye to rolling hills of Athens July and say hello to the wind-swept flatness of Lubbock August.

Toffee Tunic and Hennina Pants
Yes, it's another summer outfit for Emily. Sorry, I don't want this blog to be all about "show and tell," but do realize that this is my way of record keeping by documenting my sewing projects. And lately I've been sewing for Emily who just does not stop growing. So...onward to the latest outfit for Em....
Once again, I used Ottobre patterns; both the top and shorts are from the 03/2009 issue. In brief:
Design #3, "Toffee" Tunic
Size 92, graded up to a size 98
Fabric: dotted Swiss from Hancocks, bought on the clearance shelf
Changes made: Ric-rac was added to the neckline and pocket bindings. Both the sleeves and pockets are fully lined which created an easy hem of the sleeves and nicely curved pocket edges.
Next time: Add more length to the neckline binding to make it a bit looser.
Design #6, "Hennina" Pants
Size 92 Fabric: red twill, left over from the shorts pictured in my previous post
Changes made: The pattern called for a tab and ruffle embellishment above the leg vent. I did not like the ruffle frill. Instead I sewed a skinny tube cut on the bias, tied it in a knot, and sewed it above the leg vent. I'm happy with the results.
On another note, Trudy, from Sewing with Trudy, recently gave us a "Blogger Buddy Award." Trudy and her young daughter both sew, and I've enjoyed reading their blogs. Thank you, Trudy, for this award and your sweet comments.

What a cute outfit!ReplyDelete
And why have a blog if you're not going to "show and tell"? :) I love seeing your finished projects! I need to start using my Ottobre patterns, and it gives me inspiration to do so!
super cute! can't wait for baby girl to arrive so I can sew for her!ReplyDelete
Don't feel bad about the "show and tell" I love looking at things you have sewed and wish someday I could sew half as well! :)ReplyDelete
Very cute outfit! I really need to look into that sewing magazine...I've not seen any pictures of it but hear that it's awesome but some what intimidating (oh and costly). :)
- AnonymousMay 20, 2009
Ruth, I found your blog via patternreview (I think) and I am SO grateful for this post! I have this same fabric and have been scratching my head over what to do with it, but now I know! Adorable outfit, as always :)ReplyDelete
I come here for "show and tell" - please don't stop now!ReplyDelete
Please feel to show and tell all you want. I love seeing all the things you've finished! The outfit is adorable!ReplyDelete
- BetsyMay 20, 2009
I recently discovered your blog and I love it! I'm learning to sew clothing for my girls ages 2 1/2 and 1 year old, for economic and modesty reasons. I love your taste and ability to make clothes that don't have that frumpy "homeschooled" look, (I'm sure you know what I'm referring to . . .=P) and I love the great details like the ric-rac and such. So cute! I wish I could invite you over for an afternoon of tea and sewing, are you coming to northern California anytime soon?ReplyDelete
Show and tell is just fine with me! Extremely cute show, thanks. I love the gathered pocket with ric rac detail, so sweet.ReplyDelete
Another cute one! Post what you want - it is your blog!ReplyDelete
That is the cutest outfit, Emily is getting to be quite the model!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments on my Fabric Blog Giveaway, good luck,ReplyDelete
j'adore vraiment...ReplyDelete
Je me permets d'écrire en français comme cela ça fait plus "exotique" hihihi.
En tout cas, bravo pour vos créations, c'est vraiment superbe.
I don't know what's more gorgeous - your little girl or the outfit.ReplyDelete
Thank heavens for Ottobre magazine - I love 'em!
I LOVE show and tell...especially for little girl sewing (mainly because I'm in the midst of that myself).ReplyDelete
Our little girls are about the same age (Rachel will be 4 in July) and I *think* around the same build. Do you mind sharing Emily's measurements or at least telling me if they are similar? Trying to decide if Ottobre will be easy enough for me to use for fitting her (she's very tall and skinny) without too much anguish over trying to figure out how much and where to lengthen. thanks!
Oh good grief, I forgot to include my Rachel's measurements. Back in November at age nearly 3-1/2 her chest was 19", center back length 11", waist 17.5", height 41"ReplyDelete
Such a lovely outfit! <3 I've made this toffee tunic for my daughter when she was 6 months old but this looks so great on an older girl, that I'll have to make a bigger one for my daughter, too! :DReplyDelete

Series: The Next Generation
Episode: S02E01
Air Date: November 21, 1988
Written by: Jaron Summers, Jon Povill and Maurice Hurley
Directed by: Rob Bowman
Troi gets impregnated by an alien at the same time as the Enterprise is supposed to transport a deadly plasma plague. Perfect timing.
We start the episode off with the Enterprise picking up a brand new shiny Chief Medical Officer from the USS Repulse, Dr. Katherine Pulaski. But we don't see Pulaski just yet. She's being dropped off by shuttle because apparently she hates transporters. We see the shuttle leave the Enterprise and we see Riker talk to the captain of the Repulse and the two ships go on their way. Meanwhile, the Enterprise's brand new Chief Engineer, Geordi LaForge, is in the ready room explaining to Picard how his containment modules work. They're about to pick up a deadly plasma plague, and this is what's going to keep everyone from catching it and dying. Hopefully...
The purpose of this mission is to pick up the plague and transport it to the Rachelis system in order for them to find a cure. It's a simple enough job, so long as the containers hold. And so long as a mysterious alien doesn't come into the Enterprise and creep on people in the middle of the night. Well, this is exactly what happens. But no one knows about it until Picard discovers that Pulaski hasn't checked in yet and that she's in 10-Forward. Ready to berate her, he goes and finds that she's discussing an important matter with Deanna Troi. The councilor is pregnant.
|See? Toldja so.
And now it's time for Troi to give birth. That's right, after about a day of gestation, her alien baby is ready to pop. The birth, and, in fact, the entire pregnancy has been entirely painless for her, despite how quickly it's gone. When the boy is born, Troi names him Ian. And after a few hours, when Picard goes to check on Ian, the boy has grown to be the equivalent of eight years old.
|He has also gained the abilities to both speak and stare into the depths of your soul.
That's right, while the rest of the crew seems enamored by Ian, Geordi is watching as the plasma plague is getting stronger and stronger and threatening to escape containment and he can't figure out why. All he knows is there's some kind of weird radiation coming from inside the ship. Data and Picard go off in search of it and discover that it's coming from Ian... but not before Ian discovers this himself and begins to self-destruct. With Data, Picard, Pulanski and Troi surrounding him, Ian dies and then becomes a tiny light that floats into Troi's hands and tells her all his secrets.
|Look at that hair... it's full of secrets.
Overall Thoughts
After wobbling around in season 1, feeling out everyone's characters, everything is finally right where it should be! ...Except for the doctor. Riker has a beard, Geordi is Chief Engineer, O'Brien is back on board, Guinan is in 10-Forward, but Dr. Crusher is gone. I'm saddened that Gates McFadden found it necessary to leave, but she'll be back in the next season. Until then, we have to suffer through this new chick. The story of "The Child" itself, though, was pretty cool, I guess. I just hate it when aliens find the need to invade without giving any reason until they're ready to leave. But I guess that's a normal Star Trek thing. This wasn't the first time this happened, and it probably won't be the last.

"This article from National Geographic's Brian Clark Howard provides the perfect counter to last week's dismal news. For the first time in 100 years, global tiger (Panthera tigris) numbers are on the rise.
This success is the result of intense conservation efforts that have focused on curtailing poaching, connecting tiger habitats, compensating local people for tiger-related damages, and eco-tourism. India has especially capitalized on the latter opportunity, which is part of the reason its tiger population has grown to 2,226 individuals (up from 1,706 five years ago). This is important, because India's tigers still possess more than 60% of the species' genetic diversity."

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Warehouse & Logistics News of 2018. We hope you all had a great Christmas. To ease you back into working mode, we have features on Transport & Logistics, Warehouse Automation and appropriately for this time of year, Cold Storage & Distribution, plus all our regular sections.
CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH THE JANUARY 1st DIGITAL EDITION OF WAREHOUSE & LOGISTICS NEWS MAGAZINE
On-line shopping and ecommerce continue to be major drivers for the warehousing and logistics sector all year round, fuelling demand for quality lightweight packaging to deliver small items safely and high volume systems to process it. On our front cover packaging distributor Southgate is disrupting the void fill market with two innovative paper void fill and pad fill systems. The X-FILL™ and X-PAD™ feature new-generation anti-jamming technology that increases productivity through high output speeds and almost zero jamming.
On-line shopping and ecommerce are also driving the move to Warehouse Automation. In our feature Toyota Material Handling has launched two semiautomated remote driver order picking trucks, which show productivity gains of up to 20%. For businesses struggling with the high initial investment cost of switching to automation DLL, the forklift finance company has announced a new fixed fee leasing option, avoiding upfront capital outlay.
Making full use of enterprise mobility solutions is key for today's warehousing and logistics operations. In our Transport & Logistics feature we talk to Les Morley, MD of Pen Mobile Solutions, who offer tailored solutions in enterprise mobility, mobile printing and mobile data capture to UK and European retailers, distributors and public sector organisations. Given today's 24/7, last minute business environment Pen also holds a core stock of devices for short-term rental.
According to our Cold Storage & Distribution feature, the cold store is where most problems arise in the cold chain, due to poor temperature control. Hörmann's doors for frozen and chilled environments include double door systems that allow docked vehicles to be unloaded before doors are opened into frozen storage zones. Gemini Data Loggers, maker of the Tinytag range, has launched new Plus LAN data loggers allowing remote temperature monitoring across multiple locations. Frozen food logistics specialist Newcold Advanced Cold Logistics is providing a specialist warehousing and distribution service used by growing numbers of UK frozen foods producers, which uses 50% less energy per pallet than a traditional cold store.
In our first Forklift News section of 2018 we interview Lily Fu, Director and General Manager of Longhe UK, the UK and Ireland arm of China's premier forklift truck attachments manufacturer. Lily and Andy Carr, two former JCB procurement specialists, set up Longhe UK in 2016. And finally, also in this section, don't miss our article on Jungheinrich's newly published White Paper, Redefining Rental for Materials Handling Equipment, calling for a more flexible approach to fork truck rentals, a topic we expect to hear more about in the coming months.
The next Warehouse & Logistics News will be published on January 15th. Happy New Year!

Install an Electric Water Pump in Your Garden Pond
An electric water pump can turn an ordinary yard fountain into a moving piece of art. Your garden pond will be able to move water which adds to its ambiance as well as its cleanliness—a great combination.
Choose the Right Water Pump
The larger the garden pond you have, the larger the electric water pump you need. Check the specifications on the pump to see how much water it can move. You will have to choose between an electric or solar water pump. A solar water pump is earth-friendly, but needs frequent sun exposure. An electric pump doesn't use a lot of electricity so this might be a viable option as well.
How to Install a Water Pump
You will need to place an item on the bottom of the pond upon which the pump will rest. This will prevent debris from accumulating in and on the pump. Where you place the pump is up to you and to your overall garden pond vision. Keep in mind that the larger the pond, the more water movement you will need, so an additional pump may help. If the filter is not already in the pump, install it before connecting the hose to the pump and powering up the system.
