Caring members of the Barrhead Men's Shed have got it nailed when it comes to helping worthy causes.
And the latest people to benefit from their impressive efforts are children at the Railway Cottage Nursery.
A wooden rack has been donated to help little ones store their wellies in a tidy manner after exploring their outdoor space.
And the 'shedders' also handed over a giant wooden train set for the kids to play with.
Nursery manager Pamela Wallace said the children are delighted with the new equipment.
She told the Barrhead News: "The kids have their own little woodwork station, so they were very excited to hear about the work the shedders do.
"The men also listened to and checked out some of the work that the kids have been up to.
"They absolutely love their new wooden train and have been making their own train tickets and timetables following the men's visit."
The shedders have also helped the nursery set up a garden area where the children can play.
They brought in some planters for the outside space, which the kids are looking forward to using once the warmer weather arrives.
And all this will help the nursery, in Carlibar Road, with its bid to secure Eco Schools Green Flag status this year, as a sign of their commitment to the environment.
The children are also looking forward to visiting the shedders at their base in Robertson Street.
Pamela added: "The little ones are really looking forward to working with the men in future and can't wait to see the big woodwork station when they go to visit the Barrhead Men's Shed very soon."
The shed provides a space for retired men and women to meet, socialise and share skills in the likes of DIY, woodwork and painting.
It is open to men and women who live in East Renfrewshire, with meetings taking place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 10am until 1pm.

The photo has turned out a bit dark but the card itself is really lovely with all the Want2Scrap Diamante on it.
The Decorative Hatpin was created by me and the pins ... complete with end protectors are from the Sparkles Group
You can also get the pins with a charm loop on the end now and that is extra special.
To get a discount on your purchases add the code CGDIS5 at the checkout.
The one used here is the Floral Burst
I have used foam pads in between each layer to give height and added a gemstone to the centre part.
The background has been embsosed and the lacy border is from the Persian Accents.
I have pierced around the edge of the card and used mounting tape in between these layers too.

Good morning, Bloggers!
I found this to be a wonderful read this morning! It's definitely something to think about since as a nation we are struggling to bring our economic status back on track. I would really like to hear your opinion on this post!
Thank you!
Unemployment is the most pressing problem facing our nation.
The official unemployment rate is 8.3%, but many think the "real" unemployment rate is actually much higher.
So I was shocked to learn that manufacturers in Indiana, in New York, in California and in many other states can't find the people they need to hire to ramp up production of their goods. While we have added nearly 500,000 manufacturing jobs over the last two years, a study published last year by Deloitte estimated that approximately 600,000 well-paying manufacturing jobs are going wanting in our country simply because of a lack of workers with the requisite skills to fill the positions. But I am happy to report, help is on the way.
Given the high average wages of jobs in the manufacturing sector ($29.75 an hour in 2010), lots of Americans are getting the training necessary to fill the 600,000 manufacturing openings in…

I really have to say, Rio is amazing! I was here for a day and I loved it so much already! There is something magical about Rio!! Everything seemed very interesting! I felt like I should stay longer in Brazil, there is so much to explore. In my heart, I already knew, I would definitely come back again, despite of the warning from others of how dangerous Brazil is.
Due to the short stay at Rio, I paid to follow a complete tour around the famous attractions in Rio. I was still feeling sleepy when the bus picked me up at 8.10am. However, Rio never failed to amaze me. There were a total of 14 tourists from different countries on the bus. The tour guide spoke in both Portuguese and English. When I signed up for the tour, I did not really read through the itinerary but I knew I was definitely going to Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. The whole day tour lasted longer than I expected but it was definitely worth the money!
Christ the Redeemner on Corcovado Mountain
Corcovado means hunchback. It is on that mountain where the statue of Christ was built. It is 39.6 metres tall. Another magnificent fact about this statue is it is situated within the Tijuca Forest National Park, the only urban forest national park in Brazil. The inner part of the statue was made of concrete and was covered by soapstone on the outer layer. The statue was imprinted in my mind when I watched the movie 'City of God' and at that moment, I was already excited about seeing this statue when I get to Brazil. It seemed like Jesus Christ is looking over the city. It definitely stood up as one of the new seven wonders of the world! I was also amazed by the view from the top of the mountain! I had never seen anything like this, it was breathtaking and I felt like I could just stare ahead of me forever.
Santa Teresa
I guess this is the part of Rio I had watched in that movie. Too bad I did not have time to actually walk around that area but on the way up to the Christ the Redeemer, the bus stopped for a few minutes and the guide explained that kids used to be drug dealers but it is getting better now. Looking down from the other side of the mountain, Santa Teresa appeared to be dangerous, yet mysterious. If I ever come back to Rio, I will definitely pop by there.
Estádio do Maracanã
Officially known as Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho and named after the Maracanã neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro, the stadium was opened in 1950 to host the FIFA World Cup. While I was there, it was under renovation, thus I did not have the chance to see how it looks like inside. From the outside, it looked like a normal construction of a football stadium. Nevertheless, there was a statue at the entrance where we stopped. It was built as a memory when Brazil won the title in 1958. It was interesting to see a Brazilian showing off some stunts with a football just beside the statue. Judging by his body build and skills, I actually thought he was a retired footballer but he turned out to be a normal guy who worked in the stadium. He was kind enough to loan me his football while I was taking photos.
Samba, samba!!! Undeniably, everyone knows, or at least has heard of the world-famous festival in Rio, which is also the biggest carnival in the world! Different samba schools will participate each year and one school holds up to 4000 participants! They start to prepare and practise one year before the performance. These schools will compete among each others. As the parade takes place in Sambadrome, each school has to cross the finishing line in exactly one and a half hour. It is all about timing in order to win. It was not carnival period when I was there, however, there was a tent beside the Sambadrome which displayed variety of colourful costumes. As I was watching a video on the carnival, the tour guide came to me with a pink-feather hat and put it on my head. It was not securely placed on my head so I had to hold it with my hand while taking a photo. When I looked at the photo, the hat looked a bit too big for my head. Haha, it was fun though! I would so love to experience carnival in Brazil!!
Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro
Cathedral of Rio was built between 1964 and 1979 and is situated in the center of the city. Unlike most cathedral, it has the shape of a cone, with a 96 metres internal diameter and a height of 75 metres. When I stepped into the cathedral, my head automatically looked up and it was hard to take my eyes away the four rectilinear stained glass windows which has a length of 64 metres from floor to ceiling.
Ipanema Beach
Before lunch, we stopped at Ipanema Beach to take some photos. This beach is 2km in length while Copacabana Beach is approximately 6km long. I had been here a day before but the view was still stunning when I came back the second time. The waves were quite big, I guess that's why it is a surfer's paraside there! There is a look-out-point between Ipanema and Copacabana and it is the best place to watch sunset! I really love the beaches there!
Sugarloaf Mountain
The final destination was Sugarloaf Mountain. The cable cars were built to transport sugar cane across the mountains. It was first built in 1912 and rebuilt later. The glass-paneled cable car goes from the base, to Urca Mountain and further up to Pão de Açúcar Mountain. The speed was surprisingly fast. Although the weather was good, it was really chilly up there. I was almost freezing wearing just a t-top. The view was beautiful. How I wished I was staying there with such a fantastic scenery. The guide introduced me to a Philippino working in a germ store. She was really friendly and has been staying in Rio for 6 years. Unfortunately, I am not into germs or stones, feel like it is a waste of money. However, being polite, I could not say no when she showed me around and also offered a discount if I saw anything I liked. On the way down, I saw two rock climbers on their way up the summit. Maybe one day I will try rock climbing, just hope I am fit enough to do it! When I was on the top, I could see many governmental buildings below and after asking the guide, I was told it belonged to the navy and army. I guess Brazil is the best country to serve the country as a navy or an army because they all have their own private beach near to the accommodation. How wonderful is that!!
By the time I reached the hostel, it was past 6pm as I was the last one to be dropped-off. I quickly went to beach to collect some sand. Once again, the view really amazed me. I sat down by the pavement, looking out the sea and thought "I want to be by the sea and be a beach girl!!!" Rio is really a great place to visit. People had been telling me how dangerous Rio is but I have to admit, I love it there! I guess shit things do happen when one travels but in the end, there is an interesting story to every trip. I am lucky I felt pretty much safe to roam around Rio and experienced a totally different lifestlye! Rio de Janeiro is definitely a MUST visit city!!
I guess the only area within Rio that I missed was Lapa. The tour bus did drive around Lapa but there was no stop for photos or anything, just a very brief explanation of the surrounding buildings. Fortunately, it was Friday night and everyone had been mentioning about the Lapa Street Party since I checked in the hostel. Everyone seemed real excited about it and it felt like everyone was heading there. I went there after 11pm with a Brazilian gym owner, who was also a self-claimed actor, a guy from Quebec and two wonderful ladies from Aus! We took a cab there and four of us had to squeeze at the back. They were talking about their ages and I told them I would turn 28 in another half an hour time. I got a free shot from them. Before we left the hostel, I managed to watch the Lapa Street Party on YouTube, it was not anything as I had imagined. It was more like Petaling Street at KL but with Samba music. When I reached there, it was exactly how it was on YouTube. We pretty much walked around Lapa but I was glad I finally saw the famous Lapa Steps, indeed very artistic and charming. Although it was night time, the artwork caught my attention. People were everywhere on the steps, kissing, drinking, singing, hanging out. Unfortunately, I did not have time to come back and have a look during the day. We continued walking and before I realised, it was past one and a half hour. I was really excited and could feel my body grooving to the Latin music but when we reached the club that the two guys wanted to go, I was already tired and sleepy. However, the ambience there was amazing, it was a great club but I was not in the mood anymore. I had free entrance since it was my birthday. Thank God I was with the Aussies and they had been really nice. We left together as we could not find the other two guys. It was a good birthday celebration!

Minimalist delicacy
Salmon Gravlax and honeydew melonNow this is one fancy mouthful. Contrasting bright colours, delicate flavours, original combination: My idea of cooking. I must have eaten half of my salad while I was photoshooting. Graxlax originates from Scandinavia, the salmon is cured in brine for a least two days, no cooking is required. I recently read that freezing the salmon for at least a week prior to curing it is required as parasite may be present in the flesh. Although the basic recipe only uses kosher salt,...

I like the "cartoonish" design of the KDE icons.The KDE icons are a compromise between icons that look very symbolic (like those icons used for the MacOS) and near-photorealistic icons (like those icons used by Windowmaker or Gnome e.g.). Kcontrol supports icon themes, but till now, there aren't much icon themes available for KDE ... so I decided to make some icons for KDE.
Linux Desktop environments support many graphic formats for their icons: png, xpm, TIFF, jpg and gif. For my icons, I chose to use the gif format for the icons that you can view on this site. The icons in the packages, that you can download from this site, use the png format. Both gif and png support transparancy.
The latest release of 'iKons' includes all the icons on this page, except the icons with the 'new' sign (these icons will be included in the next release of 'iKons'). If you have any questions concerning these icons or if you have made some icons and you want to share them with other KDE users, please mail me :-). You can obtain a KDE icon styleguide at the KDE Icon Factory.
Click here to download iKons 0.7 preview for KDE 3
Note: 'iKons' is best viewed at 48x48 with transparency enabled (go to the 'advanced' options and enable 'semitransparency'). After installing , right click on the desktop and click on "line up icons" to finish it out or your icons will act strange and look larger that normal (because iKons is a 48x48 default icon theme, and KDE uses 32x32 icons as default). The icon theme is designed for KDE 3.0 and newer releases of KDE.

This is one of a series of illustrations done for GAP clothing. Although my blog is called Point Five Pencil, this was actually done with a biro.
The name point five pencil may not be obvious, but it refers to the pencil I use at the start of every illustration, I use Illustrator CS2 do do final artwork for my work, but always a point five pencil at the start.

Why did you apply to the mentorship program?
Mentoring will allow me the opportunity to enhance my skills and aid my own professional growth. Mentoring will also strengthen my coaching and leadership skills.
What do you hope to learn from each other? Sarah is an intelligent and an energetic young lady. I know that she will help me gain a fresh perspective and insight into my job. Additionally, I believe Sarah will help me take a critical look at my leadership skills and identify areas I will need to adjust for improvement.
How did you (or plan to) structure your mentorship? Do you meet at the same time every week? Do you have an agenda for each meeting? We've been meeting a couple of times per month, over either lunch or at networking and professional development events/programs. Post attending the events/programs we plan on de-briefing our thoughts and lessons learned. This format will help us identify ways to implement what we learn at the events; therefore, capitalizing on the benefits of attending such functions.

Why did you apply to the mentorship program?
My goal for the year is to create meaningful relationships within the industry and I knew participating in the mentorship program would help me build that foundation.

Typically, we leave each meeting with one goal for me to achieve or an event to attend (the events are aimed to build upon my larger goal of networking to create meaningful relationships). For example, Rania and I attended OBJ's Mentoring Monday a few weeks ago, which is an event for business women throughout Orlando to gather together and receive guidance from each other.
What do you like best about working in the A/E/C industry? The best part about working in the A/E/C industry is proudly being able to say that I play a part in building Orlando, the city that I was born and raised in.
What is your biggest strength in your current position? I think my biggest strength within my current position is using empathy and emotional intelligence to create action.

Obese people are not getting a free pass, nor are they being let off the hook but researchers in the UK have identified several sets of genes that may stack the deck against them. Ruth Loos, a member of the Genetic Aetiology of Obesity Program at the Institute of Metabolic Science has conducted two separate meta analysis studies that have identified two different types of gene variants that may play a major role in obesity and may be used to explain why one person in a family may become obese when no one else does.

cheap Canada Goose Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas are responsible for bringing us this wonderful method of drawing patterns and they called it Zentangle. They took the concept of different patterns and put it altogether into one picture, the effect in the black and white is stunning. You create blocks or sections, which are also known as strings, and then proceed to fill them all in with different patterns, that is what makes it so much fun and very unique. Since then it has become very popular because of it's ease to learn and it's diversity. cheap Canada Goose
canada goose outlet Canada Goose Parka If you have been using the same shoes for years, make sure that the cushion of the shoes are still intact. One way of doing this is by running on the shoe, and taking note of whether you feel a bounce every time you run forward. If you feel that your shoes seem flat, as if you are running without shoes, you probably have cushions in your shoes that are worn out. It is indeed a good thing that you intend to get better, thus pushing yourself more. Going that extra mile. However, in order to prevent any injuries, you have to make sure that your body is ready for whatever you put it through. Canada Goose Parka

An RV road trip is as American as apple pie. After all, the United States is a vast country with more than its fair share of beauty. From sea to shining sea, your RV road trip can take you to just about any destination your heart desires.
The real eye-opener is actually an RV trip's ability to teach you useful lessons that will carry to all aspects of life. Below are some of the valuable life lessons RV road trips can teach.
1. You're never alone.
Even if you're a solo traveler who prefers to be a "lone wolf", you'll find many friends along the road because people who travel want to help other people who travel.
You'll find experienced campers at campgrounds who are eager to help and very friendly, and you can also find tons of useful information on the internet. On an RV road trip, as in life, you're never truly alone.
2. You'll sometimes be clueless, but you don't have to stay that way.
No one comes into this world knowing how to walk, just like no one starts an RV road trip knowing the exact amount of hot water available per shower.
It's okay to not know the answer to something. Don't be afraid to ask other travelers your questions or look online – there are plenty of RV forums and Facebook groups out teeming with useful tips, tricks and pieces of advice.
Let your inexperience shine. Get help. Verify help received. Keep going.
3. You'll experience shifts in perspective.
Going on an adventure means forging ahead into the unexpected, and often the things you encounter will change how you view the world.
On an RV road trip, simple joys like a rest area on the side of the highway can bring the greatest pleasure, while things you thought were important, like sticking to the schedule, can be a hazard to good times. RV adventures teach you to let go of expectations, seize the moment and appreciate good fortune in all its strange forms.
4. You'll experience the power of positivity.
As in real life, not every moment on an RV road trip will be perfect. Maybe your kids are screaming, bored out of their minds. Maybe your spouse insists on blaring objectively awful music for hours on end. In these moments, stay positive! Find your inner calmness and remind yourself that all unpleasant things will eventually come to an end.
This inner resilience is a great thing to cultivate and will serve you well no matter what challenges life throws your way.
5. You'll find that good people are everywhere.
Staying in one place for too long can leave you feeling jaded. Your neighbor's dog won't stop barking. That guy at the gas station cuts you off to get his coffee first. Every. Single. Morning.
On an RV road trip, you'll find good, helpful people and be reminded that good people are everywhere if you just open yourself up to see them. You can also be a good person by helping other travelers in need, discovering your own power to create positivity in the world.
Creating unforgettable family moments, learning positivity, and meeting great people are just a few of the things travelers experience on RV road trips. Ready to explore or share your RV adventures? Visit outdoorsy.com to find and rent the RV that will take you on your next adventure or go to outdoorsy.com/list-your-rv to start listing and earn money from renting it out to others who want to enjoy the RV experience.

This is the lovely view of Hollywood hills and seems to be very attractive. A beautiful residence villa in Hollywood hills of Los Angeles California is placed in this picture. Hollywood hills is most popular place for its unique houses. Hollywood's Grande woman lodgings, the Sundown Tower and the Chateau Marmont, stand like stone sentries on Sunset Boulevard, under two miles from the quite less slick stretch of Hollywood Boulevard that pushes from day to night with camera-toting travelers and Spiderman and Batman impersonators. The Tower and the Chateau are as sentimental, enticing and event as ever, without a moment's delay watchmen of a jeopardized history yet all that much existing apart from everything else, with arrangement making snacks and opening gatherings drawing bunches of paparazzi outside the garage of Chateau Marmont, and limousines moved down along Sunset Boulevard before the Sunset Tower. Above Sunset Boulevard, there is a labyrinth of slender, stunning streets slicing through the fabulous heart of the Hollywood Hills, every turn uncovering another home, out of this world support, perspective of the Hollywood sign and, at best, a look of the Pacific Ocean out there. The Beverly Hilton is the place you can stroll to Rodeo Drive and Century City Star look in Hollywood. Visit the Getty or LA County Museum of Art and picture postcard shorelines are minutes away. Careless and Burbank/Bob Hope Airport are likewise minutes away. Known for the world's most popular postal district - 90210. It's a most loved retreat for the stars or for the individuals who acknowledge being dealt with like one. Yet, Hollywood today is not the spot it was 50 years prior, even as it plans to commend itself next Sunday with the 87th Academy Awards presentation. Motion pictures and TV programs are as liable to be created in the city of Toronto or Queens as on the back loads of a Hollywood studio. There are the same number of ritzy debuts at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan as there are at El Capitan in Hollywood. You must come to this place of Los Angeles for some best memories with your loved ones.
People walking on the sidewalk where celebrities' names are celebrated on stars.
People taking pictures of stars over which actors' names are imprinted on Hollywood Blvd.
The Capitol Records building is a major landmark with a unique circular design.

House approves funds for 5 new health facilitities
Parliament has approved two financial agreements on a total amount of 89.9 million Euros for the design, construction, equipping and furnishing of five new district hospitals and a polyclinic at Somanya, Buipe, Sawla-Tuna-Kalba, Wheta, Tolon, and Bamboi respectively.
The agreements that were on export credit facility and a commercial credit facility were signed between the Ghana government and Raiffeisen Bank International AG of Austria.
The facilities will aid efforts at bridging the equity gap in access to healthcare, ensure sustainable financing agreement to protect the poor and improve the conditions of the state of health facilities in the five districts.
The projects are also aimed at improving access to quality maternal, child neo-natal and adolescent health and nutrition services.
According to a report by Parliamentary Committee on Finance, the major component of the project would include civil works, mechanical and electrical works at the five districts hospitals and the polyclinic.
The five facilities will have Out-Patient Departments, theatres, adjunct clinical service, accidental and emergency units, in-patient services, maternity, mortuary, stores, 110 staff housing units, among others.
It said other major components include supply and installation of medical equipment, transport and ambulances, warranty management for one year, and technical assistance.
The committee observed that currently, there were 126 districts, including the beneficiary communities, in the country without district hospitals, though the government intended to provide every district with at least a befitting hospital.
"The successful completion of the projects will improve access to health care services for rural dwellers who will now have to spend less time travelling to adjoining districts to access hospital services."
"Further, there will be an improved access to comprehensive emergency obstetric care and a reduction in mortality, especially of pregnant women and children under five years," it said.
The committee noted that the construction of the six health facilities would significantly help in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
"The SDGs enjoins the country to achieve universal health coverage, financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services and access to safe, effective quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all," it said.
In another development, the Electronic Communications (Amendment) Bill, 2016 went through the third reading in the House, and was passed.

On March 5, 2013, Judge Robert Jonker of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan issued an Opinion and Order which preliminarily enjoins the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians ("Sault Tribe") from applying to have certain parcels of property within the City of Lansing (and upon which the Sault Tribe proposes to build a casino) taken into trust by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior unless and until the Sault Tribe obtains written revenue sharing agreements with the other federally-recognized Indian Tribes in Michigan. Having the subject land taken into trust is one of the required steps that an Indian tribe must take in order to open a casino pursuant to the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act ("IGRA").
In issuing this preliminary injunction, the Court relied on Section 9 of the 1993 Tribal-State gaming compact between the Sault Tribe and the State of Michigan, which was a provision placed in all of the original compacts to control the expansion of off-reservation gambling under IRGA. This section provides that "[a]n application to take land into trust for gaming purposes…shall not be submitted to the Secretary of the Interior in the absence of a prior written agreement between the Tribe and the State's other federally-recognized Indian Tribes that provides for each of the other Tribes to share in the revenue of the off-reservation gaming facility that is the subject of the…application."
As it is highly unlikely that the Sault Tribe would be able to reach revenue sharing agreements with each of the other federally recognized Indian Tribes in Michigan, the preliminary injunction effectively freezes any further meaningful development of the Sault Tribe's Lansing Casino plans until the underlying lawsuit filed by the State is decided. In this regard, the Court noted in its opinion that the State of Michigan has established a likelihood of success on the merits of its case, and it further stated that "…the Sault Tribe's argument that Section 9 of the Compact has no bearing on such a trust acquisition is weaker than the State's argument to the contrary."
In response to the Court's ruling, Sault Tribe Chairperson Aaron Payment released the following statement:
"The Sault Tribe remains undeterred and steadfastly committed to pursuing our legal right to develop our Lansing casino. Anyone who understands tribal gaming and the trust land process also understands that this is going to be [a] lengthy process with multiple legal steps along the way. Today's ruling is simply the first step in the legal process. At the end of the day, we expect to prevail because our 1997 federal Land Claim Settlement Act clearly gives us the right, and because of the substantial economic benefits the project will generate for the people of Greater Lansing and the members of our Sault Tribe."

Change is a constant in today's fast-paced and constantly evolving global marketplace.
In BIE's recent research of over 100 business leaders, 82 per cent say leading and delivering step changes in how the business is conducted is their highest priority. There is a clear acknowledgement of the necessity to "adapt or die", with 94 per cent reporting that being more agile is a priority for organisations.
Enacting a fundamental change in the way your business operates can be a long and arduous journey - but the benefits to be gained are immeasurable. No business transformation is the same. However, there are four vital steps that every organisation should take:
1. Scope
The first stage is to scope out your change programme, informed by a strategic review to define a clear vision and strategy.
In their report, Business Transformation and the Corporate Agenda, Forbes and KPMG say: "Getting the right strategic vision is critical. This means being able to anticipate what the customer is going to want and how best to achieve it. It also includes defining the depth and scope of the changes and the redesign of internal processes and structures. Is a major transformation necessary or will a more surgical, limited repositioning be enough? Is the current state of our organization optimal for this type of a transformation?"
So what will your programme look like? What people, skills and resources will you require over time? How will you maintain your day-to-day operations? What are the potential risks and other issues? Scoping out your programme ensures that every base has been covered before you forge ahead with your transformation, and that everyone in your organisation is on the same page.
2. Plan
Once you've defined top-level, you need to plan out the details. How will you realise your vision in practice? How will you access the people, skills and resources that you've identified as being necessary to successful transformation?
Your journey starts with your current operating model and moves to your target operating model - and beyond. Consequently, you need to map out the best possible route and identify potential alternatives too.
Do you have the internal capability to deliver your programme or will you require the support of interims? An interim leader will be well-versed in the specific challenges of transformation and can lead the charge while your current leadership board focuses on keeping day-to-day operations working optimally. And will you need different people once you've reached your goal?
If you are installing new technologies, how will you integrate these seamlessly with your current platforms? And who will you turn to for help during the potentially rocky changeover period?
Download the eBook "How to approach your business transformation" to find out about the most common challenges of business transformation.
3. Execute
You know what you want to achieve and you know how you will go about making it happen - now it's time to move into gear and get going. And this is the really difficult part.
Writing for Forbes, Kasia Moreno says: "Most companies get the vision right, but the execution is the hard part […]. In the current complex and fast-changing business climate, organizations often underestimate the significance of operating model refinements necessary to effect transformation across people, process, technology, data management and risk management components."
The fact is, no matter how well prepared you are, business transformation has a low success rate - 70 per cent of programmes fail. However, there are things you can do to increase your chances of not becoming a statistic.
It's best practice to treat your programme as a changeable entity that you should adapt as you encounter new challenges along your transformation journey. Review your strategy and plan on a regular basis and don't be afraid to abandon something if you don't think it's going to work out.
4. Post-delivery
You've done it - you've successfully implemented your change programme. After go-live, it can be tempting to hang up your boots, but you are still walking the transformation path. True success comes in embedding and continually evolving your target operating model. The characteristics that defined your transformation - ambition, an open mind, determination etc. - should be a constant as you continue your day-to-day operations in a new way.
You might be interested in reading our previous post about post-delivery, for more information about this important step in your transformation journey.
Whether strategic or tactical, evolutionary or radically transformational, change is the one certainty for business leaders today. Embarking on a change programme is an important decision for your organisation and one that you want to ensure bears fruit. Taking the steps outlined above will help set you on the road to success.

HOUSTON -- One suspect is dead and another wounded after a home invasion in northeast Houston.
Four masked men busted their way into a home at 4 a.m. where the Garcia family were sleeping.
"I didn't know what was happening until I saw the man holding a gun to my mom's head," said Ruben Garcia.
19-year-old Garcia keeps his bedroom door locked at night, not that it helped.
"They yelled that if I didn't open up the door, they were going to shoot my mom and they hold her hostage at gunpoint," Garcia said.
They pistol whipped Garcia's brother and father, then tied up him, his younger sister and mother with laces from his own shoes.
"As this was happening a neighbor heard what was going on and obtained a gun. He came out confronted the suspects. There was some kind of shootout during which the two suspects were shot," said Lt. Larry Crowson with the Houston Police Department.
Although not just any neighbor,
It was actually Garcia's uncle who lives next door.
The uncle shot one suspect dead and the other he caught in the leg.
The injured assailant remains in police custody, while the two other men said to be in their early 20's are on the run.
The family credits the uncle for saving their lives.
Thankfully they only suffered minor injuries but still Garcia worries for his brother.
"My twin brother, he goes to the University of Houston and he has a test today, so I don't know what'll happen," said Garcia.
Finals are stressful but nothing compared to something like this.

Reports about the bike sharing system.
Veli'K is a means of transport that is easy to use and practical, and it is also a way of helping to protect the environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The simple action of picking up and returning a bike from a station avoids taking your car and reduces your COВІ emissions.
The planet
The simple action of picking up and returning a bike from a station avoids taking your car and reduces your COВІ emissions.
With the self-service hire system, you will also be able to opt for intermodality and change the way you travel.
Sited near bus stops and railway stations, the stations terminal make everyday life easier for users, who can choose to switch means of transport according to the weather conditions or their working hours. The Kazan bikes service thus encourages the use of cycles for urban journeys.
Designed for short journeys averaging around 20 minutes, the self-service hire system enables users to get from one station to another rapidly.
It offers city dwellers an alternative to the systematic use of a car for short journeys, which are highly damaging to the environment.
The self-service hire system users will no longer have to drive around looking for a place to park. Instead, they will enjoy lungfuls of fresh air and a little physical exercise on their daily journeys: better for health, better for the environment. Start calculating your carbon footprint now!

First Christmas in our New Home
(Posted 12/27/2009) - We are celebrating our first Christmas in the new house (we moved in late January of this year). Holly, Matt, and Rudy came over Christmas Eve and we all enjoyed home-baked Sugar Cookies and Gingerbread Cookies (along with pizza and pasta).
I managed to take some video which I've posted on YouTube. Pat and I have really enjoyed our 10 foot Christmas Tree -- the nicest tree we've ever had (and the tallest, since the ceiling in our new living room is 18').
We look forward to 2010!

Military Branch:United States Navy

Vice Admiral Cotton graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in June 1973 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Earning his wings in October 1974, he became a third generation pilot — his father was a Naval Aviator and his grandfather flew with the Lafayette Flying Corps in WW I. He was forward deployed to Japan, 1975-1978, flying the A-7 Corsair II with VA-93 aboard USS Midway (CV-41), and then served on the Commander Light Attack Wing U.S. Pacific Fleet staff at NAS Lemoore, Calif., 1978-1980.

Do not make investment decisions based on this article – read the disclaimer before you proceed and leave the website if you disagree with it.
It is 9 September 2017 today. This review takes into consideration investing in QAU at its current price at $0.21
Quantum – profits from their activities will buy back tokens and send them to a black hole, creating deflation. Price per token goes up. Let's dig into that.
How do I rate an investment in this project at the current price? (TL:DR)
I am definitely not buying Quantum QAU. I started this research extremely excited – self-destructing crypto, deflation, value going up. And then I found this:
- deflation has been around 1% per month so far. Nearly not enough a reason for a 10x price surge, which is what I am trying to find, doing these reports
- even though there is deflation, the price has been going down for 3 months now
- 66% of the existing pre-minted tokens are centralized in the developers' hands. And they plan to sell more in the future to buy more Bitcoin to increase their liquidity pool. So we get 1% deflation per month on one hand, and then a possible 3x increase in the supply (300% inflation) on the other. Please correct me if I am wrong
- there will be no more bullish events of any significance any time soon – this is a finished product, they now trade with the bitcoin they got during ICO. Got listed on several exchanges, price didn't move. Revealed that bitstamp founder is the founder of this project as well, price didn't move. Revamped their website, price didn't move (significantly, that is). There is nothing more on their roadmap, other than a b2b liquidity platform, a year from now. Crypto bubble might have burst by then. Can't go that far into the future in crypto, at least I can't. Not for 1% deflation per month and literally nothing else.
By the way, the team is great, and have delivered on their promise. Site looks nice too. They are making profits and burning coins. They are getting added on exchanges here and there. I just don't see this coin as a 10x-er, so I won't buy it. Yeah the price might surge if they get added on a big exchange or a youtuber youtubes about this coin, but it will be shortlived and not based on increase of intrinsic value, but on speculation alone. Cutting my research short, no point in wasting any more time. I will publish whatever I have logged while reading 54 pages of their bitcointalks forum.
Project/token summary
The coin might have been designed with price speculation in mind – their purpose is for the price per coin to keep rising, by providing deflation by self-destruction. The coin is supposed to create liquidity, and help with lending and arbitrage in the crypto sphere, and all the profits from those activities will automatically buy back QAU tokens and send them to the black hole address that will be publicly observable at all times. With the price per coin increasing, it will take more profits for destroying the same amount of coins in existence, so at some point, there will be equilibrium in coin price/destruction rate, which will delay the moment in which all quantum coins will disappear. Who will know what are they doing with the liquidity pool and how much are they earning? They can make much more than what they use to buy back their tokens. There's no transparency or utilization of an automated process for us to observe what is happening

- Is there a Bitcointalk forum Announcement thread – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1870606
- How many pages is it – 54 for more than half a year. Hardly a popular coin
- History of the coin according to the forum and general public impression of the coin throughout – read the first 10, last 5 and several random pages – in the beginning a post with very scarce information and no escrow was posted. Users backlashed against that. It has improved ever since. Users were wary of the lack of team credentials and more useful information about the project. Without the uncertainty caused by this, everyone seems to like the deflation idea. QUANTUM-Project is a team member that participates in the talks there. A user was concerned about the developers' ability to some day dump the coins from the black hole address. Quantum responded that they've deleted the private key and there'd be no use of taking funds out of the wallet since it is being publicly watched and it would ruin the reputation of the project (but if they were to dump, they wouldn't care about the project's reputation anymore would they? It is a good thing they are public figures and would harm their own reputations if they did) In an interesting turn of events, Qtum steps in to confirm that there is no relation between both projects. Xaurum's CEO becomes the escrow for Quantum, so everyone relaxes. I am very disappointed in this thread. 30 pages in, ALL these users are talking about is signature campaigns, funds raised in the ICO and price. There were 2 or 3 users who actually thought to ask how is the liquidity mechanism going to be provided, to which exchanges, what has been done about it. Unfortunately the Quantum account was nowhere to be found to provide answers. Finally there is an answer: "We will be approaching exchanges that we find interesting and currency pairs that offer the best possible returns. Generating returns by lending is just part of our business." – but how can we verify that this is happening? Here is another answer from them worthy of reading https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1870606.msg19036541#msg19036541 ICO finished, they raised $4 million. Additions to several small exchanges in the first half of June. Low volume, price jumping up and down. At 10 June they announce they are already making profit and buying back tokens. Burned 0.5 million tokens at the end of June. Here, they say that beside the 82 million issued tokens, the remainder of 100+ million tokens are reserved so that they can increase the liquidity pool (BTC) in the future – https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1870606.msg19895692#msg19895692 – so with <1% deflation per month, and 200% delayed inflation in the future, the entire thing doesn't make any more sense to me. At least this is how I interpret it – they are going to sell these coins for Bitcoin in the future (flood the market with it) (please correct me if I'm wrong) Not to mention the high degree of centralization (around 66%) of coins.

Sony has announced their sales number for the PlayStation 4 consoles and it comes in at 6 million. The Microsoft equivalent, the Xbox One, has sold nearly 4 million thus far. Both game consoles were released around November 2014 just in time for the holiday buying rush. Both PlayStation and Microsoft bragged about how great their sales were going to be. They companies were clearly competing for the most games and consoles sold globally and especially in the U.S. Sony beat out the Xbox in cumulative sales for now, but the important point is that neither console did very well in overall sales.
Earlier generations of flagship consoles have sold much better, indicating there may be trouble ahead for the console market. The customer base seems to be shrinking and this is bad news for both Sony and Microsoft. With less demand, this directly impacts game studios and game development. It is hard to tell exactly how dire the situation is because the makers of consoles have not been as forthcoming with numbers as they usually are. Their hesitance to release data is a big clue that things may not be going as planned.
Numbers are down, compared to how many consoles were sold in 2007. The Wii U has taken a nosedive and Xbox One's sales are way down as compared to the Xbox 360. Additionally, the cost of developing and producing console games continues to rise, while sales go down indicated a less than bright future for console gaming. These market problems may lead to market contraction as mobile devices take over and people chose to spend their free time in other ways. There are many ways to amuse yourself and maybe the time of the console has passed.

"She was such a spirited girl and had such leadership qualities. Cannot believe that she committed suicide." "He was such a talented man and always so happy. Don't know what drove him to take the extreme step." These typical reactions show surprise and despair, bringing to the fore the curious case of—why do people who seem so successful commit suicides?
An act of 'Suicide' impacts the individual, the family, the community and the world at large. September 10th is celebrated as World Suicide Prevention Day. Across the world, communities are gearing up to organize awareness camps, talks and drives, across schools, colleges and the society at large.
Suicide is globally the second leading cause of death among people in the age range of 15-29 years, reported the World Health Organisation in 2014. In India, the number of suicide deaths in this range is really high – 40% of suicide deaths in men and 56% of suicide deaths in women occurs during this time period, as reported in the 2012 Million Death Study in India. The WHO member countries have come together to put into motion, strategies to work towards suicide prevention in a more proactive manner, with a goal to reduce the incidence of suicides by at least 10% by 2020.
There are various risk factors to suicide. At the individual level, it is important to understand the subtle aspects of the mental health of the person, previous episodes of depression or anxiety; stress, pain related issues or substance abuse; family history of suicide and also family/relation based conflicts, genetic and biological factors. Dr. Dean Burnett, Guardian Science Blogger and Psychiatry tutor at Cardiff University brings to fore two important aspects of financial success and self-criticism. Dr. Burnett says that, "The capitalist and economic emphasis of much of modern society means that people are expected to show worth and acquire value, largely by financial means. The emphasis on this, coupled with the economic restrictions and transfer of wealth to the already wealthy, may well lead to increased despair, depression, futility, feelings of worthlessness etc., all of which can be strong factors in suicide." He further adds that when people see how much others are achieving and become acutely aware of their own failings and limitations, people feel despondent and self-critical. All these can be factors that lead to suicide.
Prof. Nalini Dwarakanath, Counselling Psychologist & Therapist at the Centre for Counselling & Support, Indian Institute of Science cites various reasons that drive students to suicide in a competitive academic environment. The challenges of competition, the peer pressure, the stress of deadlines and the inability to cope often result in students experiencing low self-esteem and anxiety, coupled with self-doubt. The role of the institute in setting up a support system is vital here. It is essential to do away with the stigma attached and encourage students to approach the on-campus counselling centre when they experience distress. Orienting new students to the campus culture, challenges of the academic environment and the available support system go a long way in helping those who experience stress and low self-esteem. She says it is essential to believe that, "Help is available and every issue can be resolved. There is a solution for each and every problem."
Can the science of suicides be explained in such a simple manner, just delineating the signs? While there are checklists that may help us understand whether a person could be prone to suicides, many a times people do not show any prior symptoms. In such cases, suicides may be impulsive, rather than a meticulously planned action. The recent incident of a Bangalore based theatre person 'researching' on 'ways to die' for over 48 hours prior to taking the plunge from a multi-storey building once again raised questions as to what can the community do to reach out to such individuals. A compassionate, thoughtful and human approach is essential. In a time and age when we are so engulfed in our own lives, it is essential to know people around us, to know our neighbours, to know ourselves.
How do we prevent suicides in communities? "One obvious method is to be available to people. Don't close others off or dismiss their concerns for reasons which may seem more important at the time. It's when people feel the most hopeless that they can be so vulnerable to suicidal thinking, so providing a space or at least the opportunity to find someone sympathetic to talk to, or even just someone enquiring as to their wellbeing, can be a big help", says Dr. Dean Burnett.
There are various suicide helplines in India, some of which work 24*7. The SAHAI helpline for suicide prevention and emotional distress, set up in 2002 at the Medico Pastoral Association, Bangalore has now over a decade helped people in distress, through telephonic counselling. Mrs. Latha Jacob, Clinical Manager at the Medico Pastoral Association, talks about the role of suicide helpline in managing depression and preventing suicides.
"In the present societal scenario of need for instant gratification, helplines are useful for anyone who need information urgently or need to communicate distress. The role of suicide prevention helpline is primarily to provide an avenue to a person who is experiencing intense psychological pain to express the fears, anger or grief he/she may be going through", said Mrs Jacob in an interview. "This also facilitates ventilation of the deep sadness, feeling of helpless emotions that a person with depression may be experiencing. A few pertinent questions will help the counselors at a helpline to identify the features of depression and help the caller to get the help they require."
While we ponder about lives lost to suicide; let us work together to understand the signs, recognise the call for help, provide support and wash away the associated stigma. This is a battle that the community has to come forward to fight together, because even in their moment of greatest fear and despair, no one is really alone; someone somewhere is in their thoughts.

text: So I've had an account with Morgan Stanley for a few years now, due to IPO stock that was purchased at a prior employer through a "Friends and Family" program. It was 150 shares of stock, and the company in which the shares were held has had its valuation drop significantly (as did many others) in the Second Depression we're all in.Yesterday, Morgan Stanley sold 119 of the shares of stock without telling me, to pay fees on the account. I admit, I didn't read the statements, because if I had, I would never have agreed to keep an account charging me $25/month on what was at best $1750 worth of stock. However, what I object to is not necessarily the fees, but the fact that they sold the stock without telling me. I'm sure somewhere in the fine print it said they could do that when the account was set up. However, it seems to me that a normal business that has unpaid account fees would make some effort to contact the customer to have those debts resolved. I might even have sold the stock myself to cover the account fees – but I would have liked to have had the CHOICE. To make matters worse, because Morgan Stanley didn't have an updated W-9 (something else for which they might have contacted me!) the IRS is now going to withhold 28% of the money even though I have had it for more than a year and the stock was sold at a loss. Now I have to go get my money back from the government because Morgan Stanley can't send emails from its system saying "We need an updated W-9". (It's an easy form to fill out and send, and it would have taken me less than ten minutes if I had known it was needed!) I've liquidated the account with them now, so I won't be doing business with them ever again. As if I needed further convincing, they charged me $21.95 commission and a $6 'maintenance fee' to sell the other 31 shares of stock. A $250 transaction cost more than 10% with them (to say nothing of the additional 28% of THAT money that I will now have to get from the IRS). At Schwab, my commission is $9 with no 'maintenance fee', about a third of what Morgan Stanley charges. Maybe I'm not the type of investor that Morgan Stanley wants as a client – it must have been really difficult for them to have let their automated systems care for the 150 shares I had. Maybe I'm not rich enough for them. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have ever had an account with them if it weren't required under the terms of the stock program, so the feeling is mutual. What I can be sure of is that if I ever DO become rich enough to need a serious broker (and I'm working on it), then I can be damn sure that Morgan Stanley won't be getting my business.

Spring Cleanup 2017 a success!
April 7th, 2017
Keep Lewisville Beautiful celebrated its 31st annual citywide cleanup Saturday April 1 with a special Earth Day Expo. This free event was held in conjunction with the Keep Texas Beautiful Don't Mess With Texas Trash Off and the Keep America Beautiful Great America Clean Up activities. More than 600 volunteers showed community spirit by working hard and helping remove more than seven tons of litter from Lewisville streets, parks, historic cemeteries and creeks. Volunteers contributed 2,704 volunteer hours valued at $67,897 in litter abatement services for the Lewisville community and cleaned more than 80 locations across town.
Six teams were awarded trophies for their hard work. Youth group winners included the LHS National Honor Society and E-Club who picked up 48 bags of trash for the large youth group category (more than 10 participants), and a tie between Boy Scout Troop 114 and the Ngan Phan Group who each picked up 13 bags of trash in the small youth group (fewer than 10 participants) category. For the adult small group, Texas New Mexico Power Company picked up 45 bags. The Lewisville Texan Journal team partnered with LHS ROTC and together, the groups took home the adult large group trophy, removing 92 bags of trash along highway 121 and LISDOLA.
Several unusual items were found, including a rocking duck, a psychedelic painted door, a movie production replica $100 bill, a Christmas ornament filled with duck feathers and more. LHS Student Council won "most unusual item" trophy for bringing back the duck rocker, which was found in a creek.

Match Stories
Jerray is 13 years-old and her mother, Andrea, describes her as a happy and outgoing child. "I referred her to Big Brothers Big Sisters so she can have a role model and positive support," says Andrea. Jerray was soon matched with Cyrena, who enjoys many of the same activities and hobbies as Jerray.
"My Big Sister is very helpful, I can tell her my problems and she is able to help me out with them," says Jerray. "Cyrena always takes time to hang out with me. We both like watching movies, and my Big plays basketball with me. Once she even got me my own basketball."
Cyrena hopes to inspire Jerray to attend college in the future, and credits her grandparents and school counselors as being instrumental to the success she has achieved. "I wanted to give back to my community. I am where I am because I had great influences, and not everyone has that, so we must pass it on."
Since the two were matched in July 2016, the positive influence that Cyrena has had on Jerray is clear. "My favorite thing about being matched with Jerray has been helping get her out of her shell," says Cyrena. Andrea has also seen the changes in her daughter, and knows that Cyrena truly cares about Jerray. "My Big has a great outlook on life," says Jerray. "Cyrena is an amazing person. She is what I always needed for a Big Sister and she is the best!"

Over the last few posts, I've stepped through the changes to the Web Service configuration files. With all of these changes made, there are a small number of steps to now complte, or confirm as complete.
Firstly, as the configuration files have been changed, the Microsoft Dynamics GP Service Host needs to be restarted. This can be done via the Services control panel applet.
Secondly, ensure the firewall port for the secure port is configured to allow access.
Thirdly, I'd recommend verifying the Web Services are working correctly; when you test the services, use the updated paths for https access:
