Another summer of change for United; the second in a row. This year, though more radical changes have been made, ones that (after last season) most United fans will welcome.
In many ways Sir Alex Ferguson's recommendation that David Moyes should be his successor was a narcissistic one. Sir Alex chose a Scot from a similar footballing background, whose success was known to be based on a 'hard work' ethic. The big difference was that Sir Alex was both a 'perspirational' as well as an inspirational manager, but David Moyes seemed unable to inspire people to perform beyond themselves in the same way as his predecessor. A large proportion of the squad Moyes inherited clearly did not want to play for him.
So enter Louis van Gaal and the changes this summer, changes in management and coaching staff, changes in playing personnel and changes to our tactical approach. They may prove to be not only radical but, given van Gaal's decisive and uncompromising character, revolutionary.
Coaching Staff
Just as David Moyes did, van Gaal brings his own staff to the club. This was clearly a mistake on Moyes part as in effect he threw away a brains trust with a proven record of success. But that brains trust has gone now and a new one is needed. Van Gaal will bring new training methods and tactics and a coaching staff to help him implement them. They come with a proven track record of success themselves.
Moyes, Jimmy Lumsden, Steve Round and Chris Woods have all left. Phil Neville's future remains uncertain at the time of writing and Ryan Giggs has now retired as a player to take up a place on van Gaal's staff as an assistant coach. After a brief stint assisting Giggs as a first team coach Nicky Butt returns to reserve team coaching.
Van Gaal has enlisted Marcel Bout as an assistant coach who specialises in opposition scouting. Bout started as an assistant coach at Feyenoord where he was employed between 1995 and 2004. He first worked with van Gaal at AZ Alkmaar between 2006-09 and then joined him again at Bayern Munich. He stayed at Bayern after van Gaal left and worked under Jupp Heynckes. Most recently he has worked for two years as assistant coach to the Netherlands under 21 team.
Frans Hoek is the member of van Gaal's new staff who has worked with him the longest. A specialist goalkeeping coach at Ajax between 1986 and 1997 when van Gaal built his first great side, Hoek was van der Sar's coach during his formative years and has worked with van Gaal at Barcelona, (twice) as well as Bayern Munich. He was also the Dutch goalkeeping coach during van Gaal's two spells as Dutch coach.
Finishing his playing career due to injury in 1986, Albert Stuivenberg has since developed a specialism as a youth coach. He joined the Dutch KNVB, (their FA) in 2006 and worked with a number of age groups, most notably the under-17s, whom he coached to victory in the European Under-17 Championships in 2011 and again in 2012.
At the time of writing five players have left the playing squad: the aforementioned Giggs retired, whilst Vidic had already chosen to leave (prior to changes in management). Rio Ferdinand has been released and has subsequently joined QPR; Patrice Evra has chosen to move to Juventus and Alexander Buttner has been sold to Dynamo Moscow.
18 year old Luke Shaw has been signed to take over the left full back berth from Patrice Evra and his arrival probably hastened the departure of the Frenchman. Strong, technically sound and quick, Shaw has played 67 times for Southampton's first team and 4 times for England so has a lot of top level experience for one so young. We shouldn't expect too much of him initially; he won't solve all our defensive problems, but if he can develop to provide defensive solidity combined with attacking thrust, at least the left back position will be an area where United should soon have few worries. Given Shaw's age, he has the potential to adopt that role for 10 to 15 years.
Ander Herrera is an accomplished midfield player; a Spanish Under 23 international often referred to as an attacking/creative midfielder. In his career to date he has played as a defensive midfield player and a No 10. United have enough Number 10s, so we might expect him to play further back. His all-round skills can only help to strengthen our midfield. He could play as a box-to-box player. Technically strong with plenty of energy, his ability to retain possession and link play in tight areas will be invaluable. How much and where he will play is one of the uncertainties of the new season. Again a lot will depend on how quickly he settles, but in Herrera's case this is a bigger question; he has to adapt to a new country and the pace and physicality of the premier league. If his performances against United in the Europa League a couple of seasons ago are anything to go by this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Tactical Approach
With the arrival of a new coach/manager and his staff it is no surprise that there is a change in United's tactical approach. Given van Gaal's history, everyone, including manutdtactics.com, expected a change to a 4-3-3. That in itself would be a radical change for United, a club for many years wedded to a 4-4-2 approach. But a change to a 3 at the back wing-back approach is perhaps even more radical.
This in part builds on van Gaal's experiences with Holland at the World Cup. But it's as likely to be in response to what he has found upon his arrival at United as on any other factor. Van Gaal professes that others must adapt to his philosophy – which suggests that he is wedded to a specific approach. That isn't the case, though – what he means is that everyone has to sing off his hymn sheet, whichever one he deems most appropriate at the time.
At United he has found (in his own words) an unbalanced squad, with four forwards. He has also commented upon the team's threadbare defence and the fact that there are several players best suited to the number 10 role. In press conferences on tour he has made clear his intention to adopt the 3-4-1-2 formation he has used in America. That is an even more radical change than from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3. United are at least familiar with a 4-3-3, a shape adopted by Sir Alex to counter specific opponents from time to time. At least one commentator has stated that this change in approach is the most radical change in our tactical approach since Tommy Docherty's change to a 4-2-4 in the 1970 s.
United must learn to defend with a back three and adapt to the use of wing-backs. Success this season may depend on how well and quickly the team can implement Van Gaal's lessons and make his approach work. He has stated that he is training the players' brains as much as he is training their bodies; he is a coach who values Football intelligence. Clearly the squad will have to learn these lessons or van Gaal will replace them. (He is likely to prune and buy to some extent anyway). But it has been refreshing so far to see how keen to adapt the squad appears. Players appear to have realised quite quickly that they have to buy into the new coach's methods; their future at United depends upon it or there will be even more changes ahead.
He has also suggested that the use of a 4-3-3 is a possible alternative if things don't go well.

Recent progress in Europe & Asia has made Lingual orthodontics much more widely used there. Major advancements in technology and bracket design has made Lingual Orthodontics a reality with success rate equivalent to normal braces. More recently advances in Aligner mode of therapy has come off age. Though not all cases are suitable for this type of treatment. It is certainly a game changer in the Adult Orthodontics. The following will be reviewed in brief • A peek into the history of Lingual Orthodontics • Milestones in its development. • Treatment concepts. • Technological Advancements. • Treated cases. • The new Aligner option. • Historical perspective on Invisalign. • Treated cases.

Most participating companies in the RAP draft program are now enjoying the fruits of this program. Some companies have now created loyal tradesman from this important high school program. Others have not yet fully understood the long term value of the program. Students will come and go, but you should develop a plan for yourself on how you can turn these high school summer students into long term employees and a better more knowledgeable generation of worker. The word is out at the high school level now. Students, teachers, councilors and administrators have all been taught about the ISM Trade. With each group of students going through the AWCA's system of trade shows, showcases, seminars, interviews and employment, the understanding of our trade and the excitement of ISM as a career path improves.
Apprenticeship numbers are now at a point where classes are filling up earlier instead of the last minute panic mode that we have become accustom to. Now come the serious questions that need to be discussed for the health of our trade. How do we keep the momentum going? Why should you consider apprentices now when the economy is in a down turn? Why should you invest money in these people now when the market is so tight. Well, I am not sure I have the answers to these questions, but let me talk to some important concerns in a different way.
I was talking with a contractor a few weeks ago who told me that his two main workers were 65 and 67. That's not their employee number. That's their age! They had repeatedly refused to work with young people because they said that these young guys didn't know anything. His youngest staff member was 48. He was thinking that he would have to shut his business down in about three years because his two main guys were talking about retiring. The worst part of the conversation was that the contractor was not hearing what he himself was saying. He was not ready to retire but his staff were putting him in a position where going on would be impossible. His staff was in essence devaluing his business with each passing day as they closed on retirement without a plan for training new people.
A company's value is based on three principals; work on hand, good will and the potential for growth. In this employer's model, growth is not an option. Work on hand would be diminished because of staffing restrictions. Good Will would also be diminished or eliminated by the same age of employee issue. Ask yourself, would you buy a company that was in this kind of downward cycle?
I was the victim of exactly the same circumstance; staff that were not willing to train apprentices. I had become dependent on those old buggers. I found my business lacking a business plan to have an element for training. I always thought of myself as a trainer, but when I looked at the guys that I had trained, I realized that what I had done was to train them on how not to share their knowledge. My bad. The company was strong in a diminishing asset and before I knew it, I was in trouble. So, how can you learn from this lesson? Each company has their own business plan. Each company runs their business in a unique way. It is important to have a solid group of employees around you that are of like mind. This does not mean that they are not going to challenge you. On the contrary, it is imperative that they do challenge you. Employees today need to know that they are valued. They need to have a place in your plan that encourages them to mentor new young people in developing skills and attitudes that mirror what your business plan represents.
The merry go round that we have today of transient workers providing half assed efforts is not the answer. We will always need to them, but we as an industry depend to much on these individuals and to build a business model around them is crazy. Earlier this week, I ran into a guy that had previously worked for me some 10 years ago. He did not last long, but he had an impact. Not a positive impact though. I asked him how long he had been with his current employer and this is what he said. "After I left you, (he was released) I went to @@@ and ###", and he went on and on. In total I counted 14 employers and 5 of them were repeat appearances. WOW. I couldn't help but to think about all the money that was spent on orientations, safety training and a care free attitude, because he knew that he was a lifetime member of the merry go round.
We are all guilty of falling into this trap. Employees, not worthy of a job are being treated like precious commodities. Why?
There are companies in Alberta that put an effort into training and education of their staff. If you look at the companies that continue to succeed through the downturns and the booms, I think you will see the correlation between long term success and training. This does not have to ownerless on the company. A little planning will go a long way. You are not alone. Your apprentice is not alone. The AWCA can help to direct you and your apprentice to valuable funds through grants, scholarships and loans. Here is a quick rundown of some of the products that are available to your apprentices. Please look up the links below and make this happen for your own well being.

Glasgow 2010
The 2010 ITI Dutch Network Weekend Workshop was held in Glasgow at Strathclyde University on 3-5 September. Strathclyde University campus is a stone's throw from the city centre and within walking distance of both main rail stations, and there are excellent air links to mainland Europe. Glasgow is the home city of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and was also the "second city of the Empire" and it has an architectural heritage to match that status. Our workshop theme for this year, Art & Architecture, seemed a natural choice with the highlight of the weekend expected to be our guided tour of Mackintosh's masterpiece the Glasgow School of Art.

Question: You may touch on this later in the training, but how many keywords can go in the title? What about page content? Do you only want one page per keyword or can you have multiple pages within your site with the same keywords?
Answer: For SEO purposes, your best practice is to keep your TITLE tag to LESS THAN 69 visible characters, and LESS THAN 80 indexed characters, with the MOST IMPORTANT keywords on the far left of the tag. The TITLE tag is the most powerful tag on any page; the HOME PAGE TITLE tag, as we shall see in the Page Tags SEO class, is the MOST POWERFUL tag of any website.
As for page content, Google clearly prefers pages that are VERY KEYWORD heavy, keyword dense. We will look at the Motorcycle Page on Geico.com (http://tinyurl.com/2w4uhh7). Do a CTRL+F for the keyword MOTORCYCLE and see how many occurrences of the keyword there are. Read the page OUT LOUD to yourself. This is heavy, clunky, Google-friendly, SEO-friendly prose.
You CAN and SHOULD have multiple pages that target the SAME keyword family but have DIFFERENT CONTENT. So, if you target Motorcycle Insurance – you might have one landing page on Motorcycle Insurance, but many many subordinate pages, blog pages, news releases, etc., that focus on it as well.
That said what you DO NOT want to do is have ONE page that attempts to have TWO keyword focus groups. That lowers the page keyword density, lowers its focus, etc. Nigerian proverb: Man who goes after two mice catches none. SEO page that goes after two keyword families, gets none.

There are very few airline liveries out there that I like more than Cathay Pacific. Arguably one of the finest airlines in the sky, their corporate branding is subtle and classy in a way that makes me compare everyone else in the industry to them – and I'm cringing at the thought of it ever changing. It's difficult to put my finger on exactly what it is that makes me like it so much, but you know that I'm a fan of muted colors, and the Cathay Pacific palette has been designed exactly the way I would have done it myself. Clean, classy, and professional without being over the top.
Although they operate a huge fleet of different aircraft types, I decided to do my first illustration of this livery on an airplane that is no longer part of their fleet: the 747-400. This is the aircraft I think of whenever I think of Cathay Pacific, which (for years) was the backbone of their global operations. If you have flown Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong at any time in the past 20 years, there's a pretty good chance you got a ride on a 747-400.
As far as creating the livery goes, this one was pretty straightforward and easy to replicate. The "wing" logo on the vertical stabilizer gave me some heartburn for a bit as I tried to get it properly proportioned and positioned, but otherwise, there weren't any major issues. I wish it was always that easy, because some of these livery illustrations are far more complicated than I care to admit!

Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design has been selected to lead a renovation of the course at Little Mountain Country Club in Concord, Ohio.
Little Mountain opened in 2000 and Jason Straka, who will direct the renovation, worked on the original design while at the Hurdzan/Straka firm.
"I look forward to working with my longtime friends at Little Mountain to restore the beauty and glory of the course," said Straka.
The renovation will involve numerous changes to help improve the course's playability and attract a wider range of the golfing public to Little Mountain, including more women and children.
Straka intends to develop a faster and more enjoyable round for players, as well as improve the course's conditioning.
The bunkers will be redesigned as part of the work, and improvements to clearing lines will make the course more enjoyable from a visual perspective for players.
"The course will remain open during the renovation,"said Jimmy Hanlin, PGA, director of golf at Little Mountain CC. "Construction will begin in August and should be complete by the end of the year. We all are excited about the project and already are envisioning what our beautifully renovated golf course will look like."

Isadore Hall, a former California state senator who ran unsuccessfully for Congress last year, has agreed to pay a $1,500 fine to the Federal Election Commission because a state ballot measure committee Hall controlled received illegal "soft money"—contributions that didn't comply with federal contribution limits and restrictions.
The 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, known as BCRA or the McCain-Feingold law, barred soft money contributions—including corporate or union money—to organizations controlled by federal candidates and officials.
The fine was paid by Hall's ballot measure committee, Inspiration and Hope for California, according to newly released FEC documents. Hall's settlement with the FEC also called for his ballot committee to return a $4,100 corporate contribution from Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., according to a conciliation agreement included in the FEC documents. The agreement resolved an enforcement case designated Matter Under Review (MUR) 6957.
Hall, a Democrat, entered the open primary for a California U.S. House seat last year. After finishing among the top two primary contenders, he lost the general election to a fellow Democrat, now-Rep. Nanette Barragan.
The settlement between the FEC and Hall's campaign and ballot measure committees was approved by a 6-0 vote of the FEC commissioners, according to the agency documents.
Hall initially contended to the FEC that he didn't violate federal campaign finance law because he hadn't made a final decision to run for Congress at the time the corporate contribution was received by his ballot measure committee. However, FEC staffers in the agency general counsel's office concluded Hall was a federal candidate at that time, according to a general counsel's report.
In 2015 and early 2016, Hall filed a statement of candidacy and registered a federal campaign committee with the FEC, the FEC counsel's report said. Those actions were taken before his ballot committee received the $4,100 corporate contribution from Anheuser-Busch.
In addition, Hall's public statements clearly indicted he had decided to run for Congress when former Rep. Janet Hahn (D) announced she wasn't running for re-election in the Los Angeles-area congressional district where Hall lives.
"There is ample evidence in Hall's reported public statements and materials available on his social media platforms that he became a federal candidate in February 2015," the FEC counsel's report concluded. When news reports indicated Hahn might not seek re-election to Congress and would instead run for Los Angeles County supervisor, Hall announced that, if Hahn chose not to, "I will run for the 44th [District] congressional seat—regardless of who else enters the race."
Hall's congressional committee filed its first report with the FEC in April 2015, disclosing almost $150,000 in contributions. The campaign raised nearly $2 million over the course of the 2016 election cycle but ended up with more than $500,000 in debts, according to disclosure reports filed with the FEC.

Solar Panels and Campus Tours
A campus filled with solar panels shows prospective students more about the institution's willingness to lead than traditional marketing efforts, Josh Kim says.
Dear colleges,
You need to become champions of renewable energy. Here's why.
My hypothesis is that rooftop solar panels and college applications are highly correlated. That yield will track the percentage of power that your school gets from renewable energy. The campus tour, I believe, should be redesigned around sustainability, and every prospective student should see as many solar panels as possible.
Why do I believe this?
Happily, both my daughters are now ensconced at their schools of choice. But for three years (2014 to 2017), our lives were about college brochures (they are still coming) and campus tours. If our sample size of two is at all representative, I can report with confidence that almost all the marketing pitches that my daughters received from colleges were ineffective. The brochures, information sessions and campus tours are radically similar across diverse schools -- that is, they all blend together.
What my kids care about a great deal is sustainability. The causes and consequences of climate change seemed to be a central theme of their K-12 curriculum. They get excited about renewable energy.
Any school with a large and sustained commitment to renewable energy is going to stand out to prospective students. Solar panels are a differentiator, a physical manifestation of a school's values and priorities. They are glass-and-steel representations of what a school believes -- tangible, solid, physical evidence that a college or university is forward-looking and future-oriented, which is critical if you want to catch the attention of potential applicants.
Colleges should not limit their thinking of solar to a pure cost-benefit calculation. Rather, they should think of solar panels as signals of long-term thinking and an orientation toward what's coming next. Solar panels on a campus are like a Tesla car in a driveway. The owner is buying much more than an alternative to fossil fuels.
A campus with lots and lots of prominent solar panels is saying that it is willing to lead -- and that the future is already here.
Are solar panels on your campus tour?

Recently, we have lost several wonderful Sugar Dogs to some dreadful circumstances and several beautiful working dogs to old age.
Anya and Johnny Cash will always miss you sweet June Carter.
Sweet Sugar Dog Mozart passed on to the Rainbow Bridge in his sleep. He was 18 years old and still working for his Mom Pat.
Our dear Francesca in Toronto had to have Sunny, her Golden Retriever, put down. She was 15 years and 4 months of age.
After a short walk at noon on Wednesday, Sunny came home and plopped down with all 4 legs splayed. Francesca thought her legs were tired and by morning she'd be able to get up again but her legs had just completely given out. Her last night was very hard for her and Francesca called the vet the moment he opened at the stroke of 8:00 a.m. He came to the house and arrived by 9:30. Daisy, Francesca's other dog was heart-broken…you never saw such sad eyes!! After it was all over, Daisy and Francesca were cuddling in the bed and the 2 cats came and jumped in and they had a family grieving session. It was sad but also quite beautiful and uplifting to see the other members of her pack mourning together.
Francesca helps Sugar Dogs International with daycare when we are in Toronto and need an extra dog lover's help. This is her personal story, used by permission:
"Sugar Boy was in love with Sunny.
Sunny was truly a magnificent and highly evolved being. She was truly "the world's most gentle dog". She lavished her love on everyone she met, human and other species as well; and every creature (human or other) who met her loved her. In every neighbourhood we have ever lived, Sunny was always the best known and most popular resident.
Most people assumed that Sunny was seeking attention from everyone she met; but I know differently. She was actually offering her overflowing, abundant love and compassion to everyone she encountered. I believe this was her purpose in life and I know that she taught me unconditional love and assisted in my personal spiritual awakening.
I did not name Sunny…she was already named when I got her as a 7-week-old puppy and I could not change her name because at the time she belonged to the Lions Club Guide Dog program and I was just her foster mother until she was disqualified from the program at age 16 months. But she was truly appropriately named because she was always sunny and always brought a ray of sunshine wherever she went. Now her spirit is a ray of sunshine that will never fade."
Peppie was attacked by two (2) Pit Bulls in Pasco County, FL and the young man walking him was bitten as he tried to save the service dog. Neither the local Sheriff's Office nor the local Animal Services responded appropriately. The murdering dogs were not apprehended and the young man had to suffer the Rabies injections in his stomach.
June died at the emergency veterinarian's office in Louisville, KY from possible veterinary malpractice. She was 17 months old and alerted for her diabetic spontaneously. She was a lovely lady, always well behaved.
In the past we've lost Sugar Dogs to being left in a car for 5 minutes with the windows up, heartworms, heart attacks, breast cancer, snake bites, car accidents, and one poor animal simply disappeared one rainy night. Sugar Dogs are also at high risk of being stolen.
While all of us want to do the very best that we can for our animals, we are their advocates and their only voice. Please speak up for Sugar Dogs, speak out for Sugar Dogs, find a new Sugar Dog and love again.
Consider this:
A Dog's Last Will and Testament
Before humans die, they write their Last Will and Testament, giving their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd write:
To a poor and lonely stray, I'd give my happy home, my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys. I'd give the lap I loved so much, the hand that stroked my fur, and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I'd will to that sad, scared shelter dog, the place I had in my human's loving heart, which seemed to have no bounds.
So when I die, please do not say, "I will never have another dog, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand." Instead, please go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and GIVE MY PLACE TO HIM OR HER. For you see, this is the only thing I can really give… The love I left behind.
~~~ Author Unknown
Florida Poodle Rescue Vice President Cynthia Taylor investigated the subject of pet trusts in Oct. 2013. Here is what she discovered:
If you are like most pet lovers, you think of your pets as family members. One of the issues we face in rescue is pets whose owners become unable to care for them. Health issues, owners unexpectedly having to go into a rehab facility or nursing home or the unfortunate death of the owner are only some of the things that leave pets without a home.
If pet owners would provide a Pet Trust for the care of their beloved pet, there would likely be more friends and/or family members willing to take on the care of the pet and fewer pets in shelters and rescues.
However, if a pet did end up in rescue and there was a trust for the pet–it would certainly be welcome financial assistance for the pet's care. Some pets stay with rescues for only a week or two. Others are there for months and sometimes for a year or more, while others are never adopted. This long-term care is very costly for rescue groups.
What is a Pet Trust?
A Pet Trust is a legal arrangement made for the care of one or more pets in the event of their owner's disability or death. The trust can take effect while the owner is living and/or after their death.
Generally, there will be a person designated to hold the funds in the trust and that person will make payments to a designated caregiver monthly or whatever is designated in the trust. In some states, the trust may continue for the rest of the animal's life.
How to Proceed
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends that since there are several states in which a pet trust is not valid, and other states where enforcement is discretionary, it is advisable to set up a trust with the help of an attorney who specializes in estate planning.
The ASPCA also suggests that you consider the following issues as you consider preparing a Pet Trust:
* Adequately identify your pets in order to prevent fraud. Consider getting photos of your pet, microchip identifications and DNA samples. (One practical way of creating a trust is to create one for all of the pets you will have in your lifetime, rather than to create a separate trust for each pet.)
* Describe your pet's standard of living and care in detail. That is, their nutritional needs, any health problems they have and the kind of home they are accustomed to living in.
* Require that the trustee ensures the caregiver is providing the pet with regular, thorough veterinary check-ups (i.e. twice annually).
* Determine the amount of cash or assets needed to adequately cover the expenses for your pet's care. Generally, this amount cannot exceed what may reasonably be required given your pet's standard of living. You should also specify how the funds should be distributed to the caregiver.
* Determine the amount of cash or assets needed to adequately cover the expenses of administering the pet trust. This would cover fees accrued by the trustee and possible attorney consultations, for example.
* Choose a beneficiary who will receive any remaining funds that were not used by the pet trust.
* Provide directions for your pet's burial or cremation.

The Book is DONE!
After many years and many interruptions, the My Washington D.C. book is finally done! We had a fun road trip driving the paintings to my publisher Little, Brown/Hachette in Manhattan. It was an unadventurous trip (no flat tires), my favorite kind. It was nice to focus on the beautiful scenery instead of what I've been working on just twelve inches away.
It was fun to be back in the town where I used to live in Connecticut and to stay with my wonderful friend there. We even put together a last-minute book party for other friends and neighbors to show off the paintings before delivering them to the publisher.
The next day we were off to Manhattan with the book paintings carefully wrapped and packed. If I do say so myself, they created quite a sensation after being laid out on the board room table, interrupting the work of many employees in the children's department as they came in to view the works. The consensus was "it was worth the wait!", I was relieved to know (after spending nearly ten years on […]

All Persona jewellery is made of quality 925 sterling silver. You can choose between a number of different styles to wear your bead and charm collection.
Sterling Silver Bracelets
The sterling silver bracelet is a smooth rhodium plated snake chain and can be purchased with a barrel closure or safety chain closure. The rhodium plating prevents tarnishing and gives the silver a long-lasting brilliant shine.
When selecting your chain length, be sure to select one long enough to accommodate the various charms and beads you will be adding to your Persona. For bracelets, beads and charms will make them fit tighter, so be sure that you select a chain length that allows you to fit one to two fingers between the bracelet and your wrist, but not so long that it will slip off your hand. To determine your best fit, please see our Bracelet Sizer.
The bypass style sterling silver Persona bangle is flexible for easy-on, easy-off wearing and will fit most wrist sizes. The Persona bangle comes with two stoppers to hold beads and charms in place. Make it your own with countless ways to personalize it.
The silver end balls on your bangle twist on and off to allow you to add beads and charms. Make sure to twist the end balls tightly back onto your bangle to prevent from losing them.

Rockland District Attorney Thomas Zugibe would love to wrap up his career as a judge on the state Supreme Court, and announced Thursday that's just what he plans to do.
Zugibe, 64, the county's district attorney for the past 10 years, will seek one of six judgeships up for grabs in Nov. 6, election, he announced before a ballroom full of supporters at the Nyack Seaport.
With nearly four decades involved in the state legal system, Zubgie said he is seeking the unexpired term for Justice Thomas Walsh's Rockland-based seat, which has nine years remaining.
He cited his long legal background, and his work ethic, compassion and love of the law as just a few of the qualities he possesses that are needed for the job.
During his time in office, Zugibe has focused on crime prevention, mental health issues, drug addiction and crime, as well as serving on a task force with the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office, bringing corruption cases against Rockland elected officials.
He graduated from St. John's University Law School and went on to join the state Attorney General's Office Medicaid Fraud Unit from 1979 to 1981. He worked for the Rockland District Attorney's Office from 1981 to 1987 and won election to the office in 2008.
He's been married for 42 years to his wife Peggy Zugibe, a North Rockland Board of Education member. They have four children.
Zugibe would resign as district attorney Dec. 31 if he wins in November.

Prolific writer and blogger Joanna Penn has a sign on her wall that simply asks:
"Have you made art today?"
It's a reminder to make progress towards her writing goals every single day.
You may not be a writer or even consider yourself to be an artist, but I want to ask you the same question.
"Have you made art today?"
Have you created something of lasting value?
Have you taken time out from your busy routine to make progress towards meaningful goals?
Have you brought joy, colour and passion into a situation that needed it?
Have you solved a challenging problem?
Have you torn up the manual and done something differently because the rules were inadequate for your situation?
Have you tried something new, experimented or taken a risk that you normally wouldn't take?
Have you actually wrestled with a concept before applying your skills instead of operating out of unthinking, unblinking routine.
You don't need to be a musician, painter, writer or sculptor to create art.
I've met engineers, tradesmen, miners, retail assistants and teachers who were genuine artists.
They refused to mindlessly conform to those around them.
They looked for opportunities to utilise their unique perspective, skills and expertise to add value.
They created art.
You can too!

Did you miss the first episode of Caro & I? Too bad, it was about how I met Caro. You can read it here.
If you didn't miss it, chop knuckle. Let's get down to today's episode.
It is amazing but do you know even babes I banter with online casually ask me. Why Caro? And I wonder silently. "If it was you, will you tolerate my notoriety as bress ambassador?" 😂😂 It all reminds me of feminism in Nigeria. Many desire the equal opportunities but not the commensurating responsibilities.
How many ladies can stand their partner gloating over other girls with physical attributes they lack? Only yesterday I saw Caro's bestie uploaded this tempting bressful picture. My first instinct was to serenade. This things come naturally. But I exercised reticence out of respect for Caro. On another day, I'd just do me. People like me need the kind of woman that can grasp my vision and motivation without spending four years as if on a quest to earn a degree. This explains why it was Caro.
I think the biggest working factor for us as young adults in a relationship is that I have always known what I wanted and exactly how I wanted it. Once I found something close to it, it was only a matter of treating it with value. Like something you can't afford to lose. And doing that has nothing to do with not being myself. It is all about knowing my limitations with her and never crossing it.
In the early stages of our relationship, I was worried with her over-activeness on my timeline. At first, I was afraid she could be insecure and had been playing along just to satisfy me. We quarreled over this a couple of times. I ended my previous relationship after satisfying myself my ex can't cope with who I am destined to become. It is akin to playing penalty to throw-in if at the end of the day, my latest slay queen is insecure.
But one day, Caro made an explanation that melted my heart. As someone that likes to be active on Facebook, she finds my timeline and the comment thread ever interesting. She asked if her sin was just because she's my girlfriend and so shouldn't join in the fun? That explanation deep for my body.
Since then, we've been relatively cool about each other's activities on the social media. Aside Facebook and WhatsApp, we are strangers on other platforms. A deliberate decision to preserve our individuality. I think people are overeager to lose themselves into people they love and in the process lose their essence. Sadly, it is this essence that initially drew their partners to them.
I'll see you again on Tuesday, thanks for reading.

This article holds the key to getting a lean, muscular body. It has the information you need to get what you want.
After all, information has made people rich. Information has also made people smart. It's helped doctors cure people and made Bill Gates the richest man in the world.
And I can honestly say that the information you get from this article will change your body AND your life.
How can I say that? Well, I see it all the time. I get emails, each and every day, from clients of mine, all around the world. Each with an amazing transformation story, accompanied by a change in attitude, luck, or belief.
I'm a big believer that once you change your "outside" for the better, you also change your "inside" Specifically, your thinking. When you begin to change your thinking, you begin to change your actions. And your actions are what creates your life.
When you start to think better thoughts, you suddenly feel better about yourself. More confident, happier. And all this comes from losing some fat or gaining some muscle. Amazing, huh.
But here's the thing.
2 things will make all the difference between seeing results and not seeing results when exercising to get a lean, muscular physique.
Only 2 things and here they are:
1. The knowledge of WHAT TO DO.
2. Taking action and doing it.
Read those again. Simple yet powerful. They are the
keys to the universe, my friend.
Let's start with knowledge. Knowledge is not power. It's only potential power. Information is useless unless it's ACTED upon. Taking movement, using it.
You probably see it all the time. There are people in your gym, right now, that have been exercising for years. And they probably haven't changed a bit.
They've been misled or misinformed about what really works. Sure, they're doing something. Taking action.
But still not seeing the results they want.
So, unless you learn what really needs to be done in order to lose fat, gain muscle, and get a lean, muscular physique, step 2 is not going to help you.
2. Action
Again, unless you use the knowledge you've gained, it's pretty much useless. Both of these steps work hand in hand. It's what you know AND do that matters.
When I'm hiring somebody for my business, I really don't care too much about booksmarts. I want "street smarts", someone that's been taking action and doing things in life.
You can read all the fitness programs in the world, but none of them will do a thing for you if you don't use them.
That's as simple as changing your body AND your life gets.
Knowing exactly what to do. And then doing it.
You can do this in any area of your life. There are books and courses on anything you want to learn.
Investing. Building a house. Rebuilding engines. And getting a lean, muscular physique.
And once you've learned what to do, then you just go out and do it.
So please, don't just read information. Use it. Each and every day. When you read something you want to learn about, also think about how you're going to apply it to your day-to-day life.
Soon, you'll gather so much momentum, nothing will stop you from achieving your goals.
And if one of your goals is to get a lean, muscular physique, that happens by knowing what to do and then doing it.
These powerful muscle building workout routines from personal trainer Shawn Lebrun show you how to get lean and muscular in less time.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — The Glendale Community College men's basketball team had the hotter hand and the cooler head down the stretch of Friday night's championship semifinal of the 2011 Vaquero Classic.
As a result, the Vaqueros will now be in their tournament's championship game at 5 p.m. today after beating Victor Valley, 69-61, in a game made a bit testy in the final minutes by a confrontation that could have escalated into something much more serious.
"I commend some of my guys [for] walking away from that," Glendale Coach Beauchemin said of a flare of tempers that began when the Rams' Jeff Barnes missed a driving attempt that would have cut Glendale's lead to two with under 10 seconds left, then took umbrage to the defensive play of Glendale forward Marquis Brooks, fouled him and went after Brooks after the whistle had blown. "We didn't get sucked into that. That was really, really commendable on our part."

Lanark is a book often described as unfilmable; by extension, it should also be unstageable. However, Citizens Theatre, adapter David Greig and director Graham Eatough, despite occasionally wrestling with the density of its ideas, overall come out on top.
Part story of Lanark, an innocent abroad, like Candide penned by Kafka; part biography of a lonely Glaswegian painter, Duncan Thaw, who seeks perfection in love and art, the two narratives mirror each other and both are equally unreliable.
Lanark, in a great twitchy performance by Sandy Greirson, is a man with no memory of his past who arrives in the dystopian city of Unthank and is adopted by the gang at the Elite cinema, a group of Fellini-like sybarites one of whom, Rima (Jessica Hardwick) he falls in love with. Later he finds himself in The Institute, a sterile seventies sci-fi establishment "treating" the diseases borne from isolation and fear. Eventually he reluctantly returns to Unthank now on the edge of destruction and transformed into a Seventies disco version of hell.
Inbetween his stays in Unthank we glimpse his past as Duncan Thaw, the angry, lovelorn, would-be artist sure of his destiny as a man of genius and hopeless with women.
Even at nearly four hours there is a lot to squeeze into this adaptation. Greig is fairly free with the text, but keeps the marrow of the story and its satirical edge, which is possibly more relevant now than at any time since it was written. The staging by Laura Hopkins is superb, as is the use of multimedia, but the real praise belongs to the cast who effortlessly play multiple roles in Lanark's life.
Proving nothing is impossible, even the staging of this highly improbable tale, this is Scottish theatre at its peak of ambition and class.

Smart Water typically conjures up images of Jennifer Aniston drinking the perfect bottled water next to a pristine lake out in the middle of nowhere. That's not the type of smart water we're talking about here. So, what exactly does "smart water" really mean? After all, we all hear about how everything is getting smarter, our phones and thermostats, but how do we make water smart?
Smart Water Infrastructure is the idea that by implementing smart infrastructure and using information technology we can optimize a utilities capability while maintaining a proactive approach to any issues that might arise.
The rising marginal cost of producing clean water together with increasing demand and higher expectations of reliability and quality of service leaves municipal water utilities facing an uphill battle of trying to manage outdated systems with very limited resources.
In many cities across the US, as well as globally, rainfall has become an enormous source of pollution. Every year, an estimated 10 trillion gallons of untreated storm water washes off paved surfaces, through sewer systems, and into waterways, making the public susceptible to more and more waterborne illness in our public spaces. More than 750 cities have sewage systems that regularly overflow into nearby waterways during intense rainstorms. Raw sewage, motor oil, and other pollutants can end up contaminating water supplies and public beaches, increasing health risks, wreaking havoc on ecosystems, as well the economic implications.
Implementing smart water infrastructure is a holistic approach to understanding what's going on with the entire water system not just one component. Many challenges facing water utilities, include leak detection and management, as well as regulation compliance. Utilities can improve performance by integrating systems in a way that show exactly where specific problem areas are. Once the information has been gathered utilities will then be able to accurately set goals, plan for capital upgrades and in turn provide higher quality service.
The to the success of integrating smart technology into our utilities will be to keep the community informed of projects the cities are working on, establishing relationships with universities in the areas, as well as, engaging the public for feedback and help educating the population at large. As more and more cities are pushing legislation through to mandate clean water acts you will see a how important smart water infrastructure will be to our future of resource planning.

Darts Association Launched in Nepal
'Dinesh Thapa, General Secretary of the NDA'
Proof, if further proof is needed, that darts is continuing to spread relentlessly across the planet is the news that a darts association has been launched in Nepal in Central Asia. This launch is a dream fulfilled for the Association's founder and General Secretary, Dinesh Thapa, 33.
Dinesh told me, "While studying at college in Singapore between 2000 and 2004, I played darts for fun but since 2001 I have dreamed of setting up a proper darts association in Nepal." That dream became a reality when on 26th December 2008 the National Sports Council of Nepal finally approved the registration of the Nepal Darts Association. Darts in Nepal does not have a long history; the sport arriving in that country during the 1980's when it became part of the bar culture. But, as Dinesh told us nowadays, "Many top businessmen in Nepal have been playing darts in their home and office as a leisure pursuit and people who go to bars for drink in the Thamel Area of Kathmandu play darts for fun." Darts entrepreneur Eddie Norman told me recently that he had visited Katmandu in the early 1990s to see if he could assist in setting up an association but negotiations eventually came to nothing. However, Dinesh now appears to have succeeded and another country is slowly becoming darts conscious.
Dinesh said, "I have carefully selected a team of thirteen people to help me run the NDA" and mentioned in particular, the NDA President Chandra Risal, who is a young politician, and Vice-President Umesh Thapa who is a young business man. "Besides the President and Vice-President, Dinesh said that all other executive committee members are young and energetic business people in varying different fields such as tourism, the hotel trade and education.
The NDA has drawn up a strategic plan for 2009 which includes affiliation with the World Darts Federation by 1st August and to hold its first National Corporate Darts Championship by the end of that month; that is not bad at all when you consider that Nepal does not have a single professional darts player on its books and has never held a major darts tournament. But, of course these are early days.
At the award ceremony of members on 26th December 2008, the Secretary of the National Sports Council of Nepal told the NDA's executive committee, "Darts is a new game in Nepal but it has potential as it is space friendly, economical and, most importantly, it is an individual game".
Dinesh told me, "What the Secretary of the NSC said is correct as Nepal is currently struggling to win group games such as football, volleyball and basketball. I believe that darts will be the game to watch in future and that Nepal will produce champions in years to come and they will make our country proud."

Och, that's guid tea! Upton's Scottish Breakfast Blend
Today's Tea: Scottish Breakfast Blend by Upton Tea
Steeped, highlands style, by: caclob
It's 6:45 a.m. I went to bed at 1 a.m. and have been doing so for the last week. Despite the bright summer sunlight streaming into my room, I'm much too tired to try and get up. Finally, knowing that I have to catch the bus to get to work on time, I force myself through my morning routine. Bleary eyed, I plop down at my desk. Staring at my booting computer, I know what I need: tea–preferably strong.
For a Christmas present from a friend who knows me quite well, I received a $20 gift certificate to Upton Tea. This lovely present means sample time! Upton offers almost, if not all, of their teas in small samples (around 15 grams). These are usually $1-2 and let you try a lot of new teas without huge commitment. I've been doing this for years, discovering or risking my taste buds on new teas. So, with this batch I bought the Scottish Breakfast Blend (which I think used to be named just Scottish Blend). It's a great breakfast tea, because it steeps quickly. I don't think it technically is a CTC tea, but the small little little tea leaves unfurl quite quickly.
After steeping for about 3 minutes, you get a beautiful dark tea. The scent is malty like an Assam, but the mix of Ceylon and Yunnan found inside of it give it an extra kick that might not be found in just a normal Assam. I also normally drink Assams and Breakfast teas with milk, but with this tea there just isn't any need. It's smooth, and yet, still quite strong. Even if you oversteep it (because, hey, you aren't quite awake yet either), it'll still work out quite nicely. 10-15 minutes later, I'm happily working away, still sipping the remnants of my tea, looking a lot perkier than I did before.
Overall, this tea is perfect in the morning. It has a nice gentle caffeine kick with a brilliant flavor. Just realize, since it's a small leaf tea, you might get a fair share of little tea leaves at the bottom of your cup. If that bugs you, you might want to use a really fine mesh tea strainer.
