The CEO Round table, has organised by IDCOL at its Head Office on Sunday, showcased the technology interventions related to energy efficiency measures in the RMG and Textile sector of Bangladesh. Top executives of the major textile and RMG companies were present in the Round table. The Round table has provided the participants with greater insights on emerging energy efficient measures implemented in Bangladesh as well as those considered as global best practices.
The participants of the round table has opined that the growth of Bangladesh's economy relies heavily on the RMG and Textile industry, which employs around 4 million people. To compete successfully, firms must control their costs – while meeting ever stricter requirements for working conditions and environment friendly practices defined by international buyers. With rising cost of energy and depleting natural resources, the growth trajectory of Bangladesh textile and RMG industry can only be sustained by investing in smart energy efficient technologies. Adopting energy efficient technologies will also create quality jobs, attract important new investments, create new business opportunities and improve the quality of life.
IDCOL, a development finance institution, is promoting energy efficiency initiatives in Bangladesh by offering low-cost long-term financing to eligible entrepreneurs up to 100% of the equipment value.

Concerning Zamael:
Brother-Sergeant Zamael of the Sons of Horus was left for dead on the battlefield following the Great Betrayal on Isstvan III. In the midst of the battle he had fallen to a chain-sword wielding Loyalist, losing both legs, a part of his right arm and most of his internal organs. When he was found by the Wretched Sons he had been dragging himself with his remaining arm across the charred surface of the planet for a week.
The Wretched Sons were a small remnant of the Sons of Horus combined with a smattering of Death Guard, Emperor's Children and World Eater survivors – all still loyal to Horus – who had been inadvertently left behind following the withdrawal of the Warmaster's forces. Knowing no rescue was forthcoming, they had taken to wandering the scarred surface of the planet scavenging weapons and technology, in the process finding a surprising number of survivors.
Zamael was taken to the Dark Mechanicus Artificer Phledexus, whom the Wretched Sons had taken in and set to work repairing a cruiser in the hopes they might eventually escape the planet. Phledexus took the dying Zamael and entombed him in a battle-damaged but functional Dreadnaught sarcophagus to initially preserve his life, but the mutagenic side-effects of the toxic mix of chemical and biological weaponry deployed on Isstvan III was attacking Zamael's transhuman genetics, changing him in unexpected ways. Excited by the prospects, Phledexus could not resist tampering with Zamael's broken genes and implementing elements of the Obliterator virus into the Dread's cyber-mechanics.
The Wretched Sons eventually repaired the crashed ship and left Isstvan in an attempt to join their Warmaster in the final assault on Terra and the False Emperor. Warp storms and other misfortunes delayed them and eventually the Wretched Sons learned of the fall of the Emperor, and the death of Horus, at which time they followed the surviving Heretic Astartes Legions into the Eye of Terror. By this time Zamael had grown beyond the confines of the Dread chassis, warping in screaming agony over years into a raging weapon of terror and destruction, and in the process becoming utterly and irrevocably insane.

The Esk Valley Clan Armstrong Reiver Centre
The Clan Armstrong Ancestral Home
History, Mystery and Discovery while exploring the far-reaching lands of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers, join us for an enthralling 500 years of Clan Armstrong History at Gilnockie Tower Reiver Centre.
Gilnockie Tower is a stunning example of a Scottish pele tower. Built some 500 years ago, it was home to Johnnie Armstrong, a notorious border reiver. In 1530 this powerful chieftain was hanged by a Scottish king, his story romanticised by Walter Scott.
Gilnockie Tower has five floors, including vaulted chamber, banqueting hall and spiral staircase. The entrance stone is thought to be two thousand years old. Once a roofless ruin, the place has been completely refurbished and is open as a clan and visitor attraction. The Clan Armstrong Centre houses reiving artefacts and the world's largest collection of Armstrong archives.
Many times recognised by historians, students and visitors alike as: the Gilnockie Tower; Armstrong's Tower; Hollows Tower; or Holehouse Tower and believed to be from the period circa 1490-1520 as a rubble built, carved stone, Medieval Period Scots Tower House.

On the South Rhins Tourist Trail on beautiful Galloway sits the UK's, if not the world's, oldest and most unique natural marine 'aquarium'. Set deep in rocks on the shore and dating back to 1800 as a sea-fish larder for the local Laird, Logan Fishpond was partially created from an incredible geological blowhole – a natural fissure through the slanted slate rock with a shallow pool at the end which was shaped much wider, rounder and deeper by the use of explosive gunpowder by Lt Colonel Andrew McDouall the Laird of Logan who wanted a 'fish preserve'. So it is essentially man-made from the blowhole made by nature. The pond used to be refreshed via natural tides but now the tidal flow is controlled with a modern valve. See our wide range of sea fish and marine life – cod pollock turbot mullet wrasse starfish and hermit crabs to name only a few – and feed them by hand before enjoying a stroll at the adjacent safe, sandy beach and dunes. Enjoy a picnic or BBQ at our site looking over the beach, to Portlogan harbour and distant Ireland, before a leisurely walk to the old stone pier built in 1818 with its lighthouse designed by Thomas Telford, the famed Scottish road, canal and bridge engineer. A visit to the wonderful scenery and flora at Logan House Gardens and Logan Botanic Gardens is a must, before a leisurely 20 minute drive to the Mull of Galloway with its breath-taking panoramic cliff-top views, scanning over the sea to the Isle of Man and beyond. An interesting and enjoyable visit to Logan Fishpond's Marine Life Centre and an all-round great day is guaranteed.
Open from March 1st until the end of October.
The Mull of Galloway is Scotland's most Southerly Point. At the end of a narrow peninsula with stunning views in every direction, the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse, the Lighthouse Exhibition, the RSPB Visitor Centre and Reserve and the stunning Gallie Craig Coffee House comprise the Mull of Galloway Experience, a Four Star Visit Scotland Visitor Attraction. The Mull of Galloway Trust purchased the land and buildings at the Mull of Galloway, with the exception of the tower, in a community buyout in 2013. The Mull of Galloway Trust is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) Charity Number: SC043557.

A climb up the narrow, spiral staircase with its 115 steps to the viewing platform is rewarded by stunning views over Luce Bay to the Galloway Hills, the Fells of the Lake District, over the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland – four countries from one viewpoint! Friendly and knowledgeable staff from South Rhins Community Development Trust are at the top of the tower to answer any questions you may have and you will be awarded with a certificate of achievement for climbing the 115 steps.

Sorbie Tower is a striking ancient keep and dates back to the 16th century.
The Tower and surrounding land is owned by the Clan Hannay Society and is gradually being restored. The Tower was built on the site of an even older wooden fort – 12th century the foundations of which can still be seen. There are guided tours of the tower one day a week during the summer and visitors are always welcome to view the tower, its gardens and picnic in the grounds.
In November 2017, Sorbie Tower hit the headlines displaying a "weeping window" of thousands of hand knitted and crocheted poppies which were hung from one of the tower's windows. This attracted thousands of visitors and it is planned to repeat this for 2018.
Sorbie Tower is approximately half way between Sorbie and Garlieston.

Its seems that, almost on a daily basis, cellphone recordings of questionable police encounters are being broadcast far and wide on television and the Internet. One recent and particularly jarring example of such an encounter involved cellphone footage of a police officer shooting and killing an unarmed man as he attempted to flee on foot after a traffic stop.
DWI on a horse? Segway? Bicycle? Skateboard?
A Kentucky man - barechested, of course - was arrested for DWI on a horse. He goes by the alias "Mike Bicycle" and was alleged to have said "I didn't do shit, I was just riding my horse". Booking photos show a well tattooed but otherwise flaccid torso.
Life sentence for burglary conviction upheld in North Carolina
Theft crime accusations are serious. Even if you were recently charged with a crime -- and think that the sentence will be rather light --, the advice remains the same: Contact an attorney as soon as you are charged, or if you have reason to believe you will be charged.
Weapons, including firearms, found at Charlotte Douglas Airport
A recent Charlotte Observer article was published about the prevalence of weapons, particularly firearms, being found in carry on luggage at Charlotte Douglas Airport. This is actually quite common where an otherwise law abiding citizen forgets that their weapon or firearm is in their luggage, perhaps because they did not clean out their bags after coming back from hunting or the gun range. This offense has criminal and civil implications. The hapless traveler can be charged with the crimes of Carrying a Concealed Weapon (Gun) or Possession of Firearm on City Property or both. That can result in a criminal record and the likely revocation of a CCW permit. In certain circumstances, it can result in felony prosecution, jail and/or probation. On the civil side, it may also cause fines to be levied by the TSA, getting placed on the no-fly list or a ban from a certain airline or airport.
Defending against charges and allegations of domestic violence
Domestic violence is a serious issue and all allegations of domestic violence should be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. Law enforcement officials in North Carolina are often swift to take action when responding to calls involving possible acts of domestic violence and those accused of committing acts of intimidation or violence may face criminal charges. Additionally, even in cases where no criminal charges are filed, state law allows individuals who claim to have suffered acts of domestic violence to file for a civil protective order or a 50-B.
For commercial drivers, strict DUI laws
If you are a commercial driver in North Carolina, your commercial driver's license (CDL) is your livelihood. Any serious traffic violation, including a DWI, can put your license and your job in jeopardy. To protect yourself while driving in or through North Carolina, it is important to understand the laws you are required to adhere to.
Criminal Defense: Shootings involving police officers?
Weapons Offenses Criminal Defense
North Carolina and driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) charges
Criminal charges related to driving under the influence most often relate to individuals who are believed to be under the influence of alcohol. However, DUI charges may also result in cases where a driver is believed to be under the influence of drugs. In North Carolina, a driver who is found to be under the influence of a Schedule 1 controlled substance or "other impairing substances," will face criminal charges related to driving under the influence of drugs or DUID.
Bill would keep older teens in juvenile court system
In North Carolina, certain juveniles can be charged as adults for misdemeanor offenses. This can lead to much harsher consequences and be detrimental to the rest of an individual's life.

Needs Assessment in Education: More Discrepancy than Analysis.
Kominski, Edward S.
Significant discrepancies between ideal and real methods of needs assessment need to be rectified. Essential principles for managing an educational assessment have been set down by recognized educators. Experts' recommendations include such requirements as using a clear definition of need (as opposed to want), precise quantifiable methods, an inductive approach, and both "soft" and "hard" data. A 1977 study of national local education agencies, state education agencies, and commercial organizations indicates that these recommendations are not always followed. The discrepancies between the theoretical principles and actual practice suggest some corrective measures. (1) Needs assessment should be a continuous process. (2) A clear definition of need (as opposed to want) should be formulated along with precise quantifiable methods of need identification. (3) A clear distinction between nonacademic and academic needs should be made. (4) More experimentation with the inductive approach should be performed. (5) Needs assessment studies should be multicultural and multilingual where appropriate. (6) The technical quality of survey instruments should be improved. (7) Needs identified through questionnaires should be validated with statistical data. (8) More sophisticated analysis methods for the measurement of needs should be considered. (Author/JM)

Michigan is the proud home to more than 760,000 brave men and women who have worn the uniform in defense of our country. From their service on the battlefields of World War II to the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, veterans of all generations have answered the call, and they deserve nothing less than our unwavering support.
After finishing their combat tours, veterans face a second tour of duty — a tour that requires an often complicated and difficult transition back into civilian society. Navigating a complicated maze of veterans' benefits can make this tour even more difficult.
Long drive times to clinics coupled with the inability to get certain conditions recognized and treated are just some of the challenges facing our nation's veterans. Fortunately, under a new Democratic majority, I was able to lead the effort in the Senate Budget Committee to fully fund veterans' health care for the first time.

LONDON (October 02) - UK house prices fell by 1,7% in September. This brings the price of a typical house in the UK to £161,797, 12.4% less than at this time last year, according to Nationwide.
UK house prices have now fallen for eleven consecutive months, but the monthly rate of fall has been almost unchanged in the last three months. The less volatile three-month-on-three month series has also barely changed for the last three months, after accelerating in the first half of the year. This may suggest the beginning of some stabilisation in the pace of house price falls...

|>> Ongoing maintenance is the key to enhancing the value of a home
When, as now, economic conditions in South Africa become tough there is always a tendency for cash-strapped homeowners to cut back on what should be a totally non-negotiable outlay - the ongoing maintenance of their homes. They may well continue to keep their appliances and motorcars running - but their greatest asset, their home, is very often neglected.
Lanice Steward, MD of Anne Porter Knight Frank, said that this has, time and again, proved to be disastrous because neglect will inevitably result in the home losing its value drastically...

Sleeps 8
Bedrooms 4
Bathrooms 4
Please note this property is no longer available to book.
Welcome to Yellison Farmhouse, a beautiful traditional country home which has been transformed into a stunning 4-bedroom luxury holiday cottage. Sublime views of the Yorkshire Dales, generous bedrooms (all en suite with baths & separate shower) and a stylish interior are just some of the reasons to fall in love with this cottage, and there's plenty more besides.
Set in an elevated position on a country estate, just a few miles from the honeypot town of Skipton in the southern Dales, the stone silhouette of Yellison stands proudly looking out onto this breath-taking landscape. Driving up to this large luxury Yorkshire Cottage you are left in no doubt that this is a special location indeed. And once inside this special vibe continues as you discover the charming interior, a classic mix of traditional and contemporary style designed to make you feel completely at home.
Downstairs you'll find a lovely open-plan kitchen and dining room with exposed Yorkshire stone and patio doors to throw open in the summer months. Next door is the spacious sitting room with its gorgeous stone fireplace and wood burner keeping you nice and toasty all year round.
There is also a bedroom on the ground floor which can be set up as a double or twin and ideal if you are travelling with someone of reduced mobility. This double bedroom enjoys South facing views over the Yorkshire Dales as well as an original fireplace. All of the usual mod cons are there for your entertainment including Wi-Fi, TV & DVD player and an MP3 docking station?
All of the remaining 3 bedrooms are upstairs, (one of which can be set up as a double or a twin) a stunning master bedroom (double), again with South facing views of the Dales, a further double boasting a large feature window and the 4th bedroom, another double with exposed beams and views over the moorland. All of the bedrooms in Yellison have en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers and one with a beautiful roll-top bath.
Outside there is an enclosed gated garden to the front of the cottage and a stone patio to the rear. Both lovely options for a nice spot of lunch al fresco. And what better view to go with it! There's also a BBQ to enjoy and a glamorous fire pit to gather around.
Pour yourself a nice glass of red and head outside to share stories and catch up by the glow of the flames..
Please note this cottage is set beside a Landrover Experience on the Estate. Guests are very welcome to book in for this during their stay. Just mention it when booking.
Yellison is set at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales near Skipton. There are miles of peaceful uninterrupted walking from the doorstep, including a very pleasant thirty minute stroll to the local country Inn, The Bull at Broughton. This gorgeous country pub serves excellent food and was recently awarded 'Best Bar Team' in the Great British Pub awards. The fabulous Angel Inn at Hetton is also nearby and well worth the short drive. Sunday lunch here is particularly good.
With a holiday at Yellison you can choose to enjoy the luxury of peace and quiet or opt for something a little more adventurous. The Estate the cottage is set on can organise various activities for you from cycling to fly fishing. There are miles of off-route mountain bike trails to follow literally from the door-step.
If you want to venture off the grounds Yellison is ideally placed to explore the historic market town of Skipton and the exquisite Yorkshire Dales beyond. It's a true walker's paradise here and you are very close to the famous Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside. In fact you can see two of the peaks from the cottage.
If you're more of a roamer than a rambler try a stroll around the grounds of nearby Bolton Abbey. These striking ruins provide the backdrop to a particularly beautiful part of the Dales and are well worth a visit. Top it off with dinner in the Michelin-starred Burlington restaurant found in the Devonshire Arms close to the Abbey.
This area of the Yorkshire Dales is home to many charming villages and towns worth exploring. The pretty cobbled streets of Grassington are less than half an hour's drive away, with the village of Kettlewell just a little further. Take the high ground up and across to Wensleydale where you will discover the picture post-card village of West Burton and the beautiful Aysgarth Falls...There is just so much to see and do here.

Free text chat 1on1
Newly added : Allows you to have a different password for all the different items that you deal with - remembers for you. Cute Password Manager: Form filling software that auto fill user/password. If you are smart about it (and you message enough girls), you can enjoy phone sex for free by calling into these phone dating chatlines.Fuck Swipe is a popular — mobile only — hookup platform.I do believe that spankee is doing the classic trying to "swim" away from her spanking technique. It's been a busy year with lots of changes all for the good so I've neglected this site for my private life.Sorry if anyone feels cheated but real life does have to come first.And although they are mainly meant for "dating", it is no secret that chatlines are mainly used for hooking up and having phone sex.
IMAPSize: A great tool to transfer Thunderbird e-mail to Outlook/Outlook Express (not sure why you would - but it's here).
If you do it right, you should be having easy phone sex in no time. It offers a free 5 minute phone sex trial to new members.
You start by talking to real people who are connected to their IVR system, just like a regular dating chatline.
I've lovingly and carefully restored many of the images that I've used here and I've done that to share these with other spanking enthusiasts so I have no desire to take this site down.
Besides, I still have many more images in my personal archive so eventually I'll share more in the future.

NIH Initiative To Help End The Opioid Crisis
Opioid addiction, misuse and overdose is an ongoing and rapidly evolving public health crisis. To address the crisis, NIH is launching a comprehensive, trans-NIH Initiative on opioid addiction and pain. This Initiative will build on extensive, well-established NIH research, including basic science of the complex neurological pathways involved in pain and addiction, implementation science to develop and test treatment models, and research to integrate behavioral interventions with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD). Successes from this research include the development of the nasal form of naloxone, the most commonly used nasal spray for reversing opioid overdose, the development of buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, and new molecular targets for pain management.
The goal of a trans-NIH Opioid Initiative is to focus agency resources and efforts on key areas of significant need and opportunity through collaborative, cutting-edge research. For certain advances, NIH will need to forge strategic partnerships to advance safer, non-addictive treatments for pain.
Over the past year, NIH has convened meetings with experts from public and private organizations to identify the areas that would benefit from focused efforts by NIH alone or in partnerships with outside organizations. The areas identified as having the greatest immediate need are:
- Opioid Misuse and Addiction
More than 2 million Americans have OUD. Millions more misuse opioids, taking opioid medications longer or in higher doses than prescribed. NIH will support research that can prevent and treat opioid misuse and addiction, and that will help people with OUDs achieve and maintain a meaningful and sustained recovery.
- Pain Management
More than 25 million Americans suffer from daily chronic pain. NIH will support research to understand how chronic pain develops, making patients susceptible to risks associated with opioid use. NIH will work with partners from the biopharmaceutical industry to develop a data sharing collaborative, new biomarkers for pain, and a clinical trials network for testing new pain therapies. NIH will also enhance the pipeline of treatments for pain and enhance clinical practice for pain management.

Perfect Just the Way You Are
I took the kids to their 3 year old and 1 year old doctor appointments last week and found out that Graham is currently petite and Parker is average. Average in size anyway. Parker was always a chubby baby and usually found himself around the 75th percentile until he started walking and quickly burned off the fat. He also slowly descended to the 20th percentile by age two. Last week at the doctor I was expecting them to say the same thing as usual, but they didn't. He had grown almost 4 inches in the past 6 months and had gained 3 pounds which made him 37.5 inches and 30 pounds. Woo Hoo! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited. Due to my imperfections as a mom when it comes to vanity and pride, I've been trying my darndest to get Parker to the 50th percentile in weight. I've always hoped he would be in height, but I am smart enough to realize I can't change that without the help of growth hormones and that would just be
stupid too vain. Why would I want Parker to be 50th percentile? Because he's a boy. If he were a girl, I wouldn't care if he was 5th or 95th. Girls seem to be excepted and praised for any healthy size. If a girl is petite, then she's cute and can wear just about anything. If a girl is tall, she is envied for her legs and the amazing jeans she can wear. There are always exceptions, but the point is girls can be seen by the public eye as beautiful no matter their size. Guys? They want to be big and most girls want a big guy. When asked what the perfect man would look like, how many girls do you think would say, "I'd like a guy who is 5"4 and cute as a button"? Not many. Are there girls who marry short men? Yes! We end up following out hearts and can easily be attracted to a man of big character instead of one who wears a 36 inch inseam. So, while I would love for my boys to grow up to be big men for the ease it seems it would bring to a guy's life, and though I truly was excited for Parker to be average, I am going to do my best to teach my boys that they are perfect just the way they are. If they are taking care of the bodies God gave them, then they don't need to be any bigger than what they are. A good personality and intelligence will take my boys a lot farther in life than size. I'm sure frustrations may come when a larger height or weight would aid in sports, but don't tell that to Emmett Smith, Andre Agassi or Muggsy Bogues who were all small for their sport. Parker and Baby Graham, you two are handsome, talented boys who are beautiful just the way God made you. Go tackle the world with your petite and average selves.

You do have 2 of the most handsome boys Ive seen in my life. I tell everyone that too:)As for size Iam afraid I am going to have at least 2 big girls. I am still nervous about them getting made fun of. But they will be tall and beautiful if they have to be tall I guess. As for Parker. Jaden seems to take after me in stature and she loooveeess Parker so he has no worries.lol.. ;)

New Westminster Salmonbellies beat the Langley Thunder 10-05 in Langley last night to grab a 2-0 lead in their WLA semi final series. With period leads of 3-1, 6-3 and outscoring the Thunder 4-2 in the Final frame to drive home a 10-5 win. Even though the folks at the LEC chose not to show any of the Salmonbellies 10 goals on the replay screen they certainly should have, as there were some highlight reel goal scored. Whether it was Jeff Cornwalls back hand top shelf, or one of three rockets by Richard Lachlan, or the first of two by speedy transition specialist Patrick Miles, they were all well deserving of a replay , in front of the fans which were mainly Bellies faithful.
Keegan Bal lead all scorers with 1G 3 A, Jordan McBride had 4A, Richard Lachlan lazered in 3G, and Patrick Miles had 2G 1A. Eric Penney was simply stellar between the pipes stopping 42 of 47 shots fired his way.
Next up Game 3 back at Historic Queens Park Arena, Saturday August 8th ball drop at 7:45pm. Come down early for the Queens Park Arena BBQ, and Beer Gardens both open at 7:00pm.

It was a pretty horrid night last night. H ended up in bed with us twice, once with a temperature hitting the 40s – and I know of two times she woke up and came in to see us because she was itchy or just not quite right. Chicken pox is dull and boring. It deprives you of valuable sleep and it shouldn't.
"Mummy! I want you!" came the demand at 2am so obediently I trotted out of bed to deal with my daughter's every need while wondering if I was going to get some sleep. I crawled into her bed and snuggled up and spent most of the night waking up when I heard her scratch – there was just enough room in there for the two of us anyway (though I kind of sniggered when she'd wake up, realise someone was in her bed and do a little jump, then realise it was me, though I realise it could be cruel sniggering). I did get some sleep, just not very much. We were set for a lazy day today.
She's been running a temperature all day, somewhere between 39 to 40 – so high but manageable. It's a pain, she'll seem as fine as anything and then crashes and looks tired out. On the plus side her spots are nicely scabbed over now so it's working its way out.
I've taken the 'don't be like mummy' route and am showing her my chicken pox scars – telling her that the more she leaves her spots alone, the less chance she'll have of marks like mummy has. I think it might work…
I've been knitting and drinking coffee and watching Monsters Inc. (trying to turn H's perception of monsters around. I'm not sure it worked though she did chuckle away at some bits of it) and now I feel tired as well. Keep everything crossed we all get a good nights sleep tonight. Shaun can't cover any of these night duties as he HAS to pass this exam (though he has been) and right now I feel quite frazzled by it all. It'll pass, I know. It'll be fine, I know. I just like sleeping all night, that's all. We all do.

"Blessed..." that is the word my lips softly spoke as I rolled over to check the time on my clock this morning. Who knew that I would be here in my cozy bed, five years later, after surviving the storm, doing well in school, applying to grad school, looking forward to my dear Mother's move to Scotland with my new Papa David and being safe and healthy.
I have lived the road less traveled. I didn't know where it was going to be taking me, but I knew that I was safe in the hands of my Father who loves me. Those hands that led me through the valley of death, held me close when my heart was bursting, listened when no one seemed to hear, and talked to me soothingly, telling me that this hard time would pass and that my future was bright. I clung to the verse in Psalms 91:14-16 that read...
"Because she loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue her; I will protect her, for she acknowledges my name. She will call upon me, and I will answer her; I will be with her in trouble, I will deliver her and honor her. With a long life will I satisfy her and show her my salvation."
Yes, my life has been like a kaleidoscope, blessed and ever changing. Kaleidoscope means Greek for "beautiful shape". That is what my life has been like lately, taking beautiful shape. I will never forget those things that have shaped my heart into what it is today. I am so grateful that my life resembles more than just what I first saw. That it is colorful and ever changing, brilliant and full of life. Even though spring doesn't seem to want to come to my area I feel it in my heart and my life is moving in the direction of that light, never to look back!

Inbox Dollars Review
In an ever diluted atmosphere of "make money from home" sites, one of the most well-known and easy to use sites is Inbox Dollars. A reputable site that has been around for many years, Inbox Dollars advertises itself as far more than just a typical paid survey site, so I decided to check it out for myself and review the different ways they allow members to make money. While typical survey sites give users "points" they can exchange for prizes or other raffles, Inbox Dollars claims to give members cold hard cash. Let's put that to the test!
$5 Signup Bonus
First things first, I needed to sign-up for the site. I signed up through an affiliate link that I found online that provided by an initial $5 signup bonus, so I was off to a good start.
The signup process was painless and pretty much what you would expect. I had to enter my email, create a password, and then confirm my account through a link in an email. However, once I went back to the site, I was surprised to see that I needed to enter some additional information such as my income level, marital status, and questions about my race and background. While this seemed a little invasive at first, it turns out Inbox Dollars uses this information to decide which surveys and offers to email me, which in the long run saves me precious time from filling out surveys that won't be a good fit.
I completed these questions, and then headed over to my homepage, and sure enough there was a $5 balance. As part of my test, I tried to immediately cash out the money, but was denied. I took a further look and found out that there is a minimum requirement of $30 for each withdrawal. A bit high for my taste, but since I was starting from $5; this was more like a $25 minimum of earnings, which again is pretty much on par with other sites.
Total account balance = $5.00
Make Money on Surveys
Wanting to test each of the different methods for making money on Inbox Dollars, I jumped right into their money making surveys first, which was easily found until the "Survey" link in my dashboard. The surveys were custom selected for me based on the demographic information I entered, and most of them were in the range of $0.50 – $0.75 cents for a few minutes of surveys. On the other hand, there were several that we worth $2.00 – $5.00 for surveys that required 30+ minutes to complete. After a few hours filling out various surveys, and I then noticed that I had accumulated a decent number of "spins" as well, which are used for a custom spin and win game that is also offered on the site.
After spinning the virtual wheel a few times, I earned an extra $0.75 to bring my total up to about $12.00.
Paid Emails
I then decided to take a break and check back in the following day. To my surprise, I had a couple of paid emails in my inbox the next day, which earned my some very easy extra cash in my account just by clicking on a few links. The best part of this is that each of the emails was tailored to my tastes from the earlier surveys, so it definitely didn't feel like a chore to check out each of the offers. On top of that, they will only send a maximum of 3 emails a day, so I didn't feel like I was being bombarded with offers either.
A few emails later, my account was up to about $13.00.
Watch TV & Video for Money
Logging back into the main site, I chose to try some of the TV & Videos offered. Most of the videos were only worth a couple of cents each, but the content was actually quite enjoyable and information, so I spent a good hour (or two) watching various clips. After each video, there is also the chance for a 'scratch-off' card, where you can try and match different symbols to win a prize. The payout for these cards was pretty low, but there is a chance to win $5.00- $10.00, so I can definitely see the incentive to watch for a longer time and hope for a lucky payout.
Overall, the payout rate was definitely lower than what I earned taking a few surveys, but it was also much more enjoyable for me to spend some time on the videos. If you are looking to make the top dollar for your time, the surveys are probably the better option. If you are just looking to kill some time on your lunch break, the videos are the way to go.
At this point, I was up to just under $15.00.
Make Money Browsing
Next up on my list, I wanted to check out the "paid to search" section of the site. I've tried these in the past with mixed results, so I admittedly had some pretty low expectations for this option. As expected, the payout was abysmal, at only $0.01 for a couple of searches. However, the search results were much more accurate than some other sites I've used, so if you made this your default engine, I imagine you could make a few extra bucks a month while getting results very similar to what you would see in Google or Bing.
An added bonus, I also got a few raffle entries called "sweeps" after a couple of searches. You can use these for various raffles on the site, but I decided to pocket them and let them accumulate for a later entry. (I tend to stockpile these types of bonuses and spend them all on a raffle I really want to win.)
All in all, no real impact to my bottom line as I ended this experiment with less than $16.00 in my account.
Playing Games for Cash
My personal nemesis, I then wanted to tackle the games section of the website. While I LOVE playing online games, my skill level is absolutely below par, and I am almost certainly guaranteed to lose! I spent awhile doing my best at the different word and arcade games, and had some mixed success playing Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies. Inbox Dollars has a unique "leveling system" that pairs you against people of similar skill level, so after a few wins the competition definitely got much more difficult. In order to really make money here, I needed to make a cash deposit and compete against other uses in order to win more money. For someone with a decent skill level, you could definitely make some very good money here, but given my poor skill level, I decided to call it quits and just stick to the free games.
No impact to my trial balance as I ended with the same $16.00 in my account.
The Big Bucks – Shopping
Far and away the big money maker (as it always is on these sites), the shopping category clearly had the most attractive incentives. Ranging from a couple bucks to several offers with payouts of $10.00 or more, I did end up making a few purchases for products I was already shopping for. While I wouldn't make a purchase for the sake of just getting the incentive in my account, if you are already in the market for an item, which not save a couple backs with cash back? Double that up with a cash back credit card offer and you could save an easy 5-10% off your purchase.
Total balance after a few small purchases was just over $30 in less than a full day or playing around on the site. While technically enough to cash out just, I decided to leave the money in my account and wait for a bigger payout, as I learned that there is a $3 transaction fee for any withdrawals less than $40.
Final Take
After weighing the positives of the paid emails, surveys, and videos against the negative results I had with the paid search, it was pretty clear to me that this site is legit and a good way to make money in between meetings or on your lunch break. While it won't make you an overnight millionaire, if someone is really good at those cash games, I could definitely see them earning some great spending money each month.
If you want to give the site a try, I'm happy to share the same offer I got during my sign-up, which is the free $5 bonus. Check it out and let me know your results in the below comments, I'll be happy to offer any advice or feedback as I continue to play around on the site… and get paid for it!

Grants for Ausable landowners
Habitat stewardship funding supports work by landowners to improve habitat for aquatic species at risk in Ausable River
Environment and Climate Change Canada's habitat stewardship funding supports landowner projects, school programs, and monitoring to protect local watershed home to important species
Landowners in the Ausable River Watershed now have a new opportunity to improve local habitat thanks to 2018-2019 funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) has received $76,050, from Canada's Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk, for on-the-ground habitat stewardship projects, education and outreach, and monitoring of aquatic species at risk in the Ausable River Watershed. The funding will help to implement the proposed Ausable River Action Plan and it will support work during the 2018-2019 year. "We are very thankful to receive this funding from the Government of Canada's Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk," said Kate Monk, ABCA Manager of Stewardship, Land and Education. "This continued financial support from the federal environment department makes it possible to improve habitat in the Ausable River and protect the nationally important aquatic species that live there."
Grants are available for tree planting, wetlands, fencing cattle out of creeks, and cover crop planting in the Ausable River drainage area from Exeter all the way to Port Franks. "We help to make it easy for local landowners to complete a project and we also look for funding from other sources beyond the Habitat Stewardship Program grants," said Monk. "It is often possible to cover up to 100 per cent of a landowner's cash costs for a project." Staff members are pleased to visit a project site and provide personal service to participating landowners, she said.
The Ausable River Watershed has one of the most diverse populations of aquatic species of any watershed of this size in Canada. At least 26 species of freshwater mussels and 85 species of fish have been found in the river system. Seven of the eight turtle species found in Ontario are found in the Ausable River Watershed. Many of these species have been assessed as Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern.
Voluntary stewardship activities help to reduce nutrients and sediment entering the Ausable River and its tributaries. Streamside vegetation helps to reduce water temperatures in the Ausable River system over the long term.
The new funding makes it possible for staff to work with participating local landowners to plant native trees and shrubs in priority areas at up to 15 sites. The funding makes it possible as well for conservation staff to work with participating local landowners to establish cover crops on up to 300 acres (121 hectares) in priority areas. Cover crops improve soil health and water quality and reduce sediment and nutrients entering the Ausable River system. Cover crops are grown during the summer, autumn, and winter seasons when there are no commercial crops present to protect the soil surface from wind and water erosion. In some cases, cover crops can reduce nutrient and pesticide runoff by half; decrease soil erosion by 90 per cent; and reduce pathogen loading by 60 per cent.
Technical support and grant incentives for landowners will also help to restore and enhance up to six local wetlands through construction and planting. Re-establishing wetlands results in reduced levels of nutrients and sediment entering the river. It also helps to control extreme water level fluctuations by managing water running off the land and reducing the speed of the water flow. The announced funding also helps stewardship staff to work with participating landowners to fence livestock out of the Ausable River and its tributaries. This benefits critical habitat, according to staff, by reducing nutrients and sediment entering the river.
The funding support makes it possible for conservation educators to teach students in ten local school classes about aquatic species at risk in the Ausable River Watershed. Ausable Bayfield Conservation will also provide an active outdoor learning experience, including tree planting and/or wetland restoration, at a project site to teach students about stewardship and the aquatic ecosystem. The funding support also makes it possible for Ausable Bayfield Conservation to provide three public information sessions about aquatic species at risk, stewardship grants, and opportunities for habitat improvements in the Ausable River Watershed.
The 2018-2019 funding will also support monitoring of water quality (nutrient levels), water level, and dissolved oxygen data in the Old Ausable Channel to provide valuable information on the aquatic habitat quality conditions for fish species that are considered at risk. This provides important data for habitat management decisions for critical habitat in the Old Ausable Channel and for understanding issues that pose risk to the species there.
Ausable Bayfield Conservation plans to issue news releases and direct-mail flyers and post cards to inform watershed residents of the new funding incentive opportunities that are available for stewardship activities.
This is the third year that Canada's environment department, Environment and Climate Change Canada, has provided this Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) funding for a total of $228,150 in support of landowner stewardship, local education, and monitoring of aquatic species. The funding began on April 1, 2016 and continues to March 31, 2019.

The 'service.post' URI in the AtomAPI can be sent an Atom <entry> with any one of a number of 'type' attrubutes. For example, a client could send an <entry> with the following <content> element to upload a JPEG image to the server:
<content type='image/jpeg' mode='base64'> 0912384heb0329289 a830103.... ....ha37ba091a0a </content>
There currently isn't any mechanism by which a client can discover which mime-types a server supports.
One possible solution is to have the 'service.post' URI respond to a GET and the response to that GET would be a partially filled in Atom <entry> with multiple <content> children, one for each type that the server accepts.
For example, if a server accepts only text/plain, text/html and image/jpeg, then this is what would be returned from doing a GET on the 'service.post' URI:
<entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <title></title> <id>tag:blog.example.org,2003:3.2397</id> <issued></issued> <modified></modified> <content type="text/plain"/> <content type="text/html"/> <content type="image/jpeg"/> </entry>
This proposal allows each server to explicitly enumerate the mime-types it supports. At the same time is re-uses the Atom format to present that information.
This proposal adds another HTTP method that the 'service.post' URI must support. Note that GET on the 'service.post' URI is currently unspecified.
Many services who currently support the Atom API use the same URI for service.feed and service.post because the nomenclature makes sense. Overloading service.post would require a different nomenclature.
DamionAlexander - Instead of using a GET on the PostURI, methinks it would be more beneficial to add a link with a @rel type of "service.accept". This link could be included in the Atom feed in the Feed section and in the individual entry sections. The one in the Feed section would relate to PostURI and the one in Entry elements would be for what that specific entry accepts (EditURI). The format of what is returned from that link I am not sure of. There is some discussion going on the list now about MIME formats (Thread: "multiple <content> elements without @type=multipart?") that would affect the returned format.
[AsbjornUlsberg] I'm not sure what I think about this, other than that I feel the proposed method might be a bit too complicated. Also, I find it not extensible enough. The current AutoDiscovery proposal is just a <link> in the HTML file, which points directly to the feed. How about adding an additional, optional, file between the feed and the HTML document, in which you plunge all discovery information needed? Here you place all 'accept' information, the URL to the feed, etc. I mention this at the bottom of AutoDiscovery, btw.

The following impressions contain details about episode two of Resident Evil Revelations 2, so if you don't want to be spoiled, this is your chance to turn away.
And so the journey continues.
The last time I saw Claire and Moira they had sent a call for help, and Barry – Moira's dad – was on his way to save her. Thing is, Barry's entrance on the island is based six months (if I remember correctly) after Claire and Moira's arrival, so it's interesting to take the reigns of the girls first and then retread their path, finding out what's changed during all that time.
In the first part of episode two Claire and Moira come across an abandoned town on the coastline of the island their stranded on. I didn't detail this too much in my first impression piece, but a woman called 'The Overseer' is watching their every move, and has attached bracelets to them that change colour depending on your fear level. After meeting up with some colleagues of Claire's, who have seemingly been put in the same position as her, my job was to find the necessary parts to get a nearby helicopter up and running. Before that, the Overseer told us that we were all infected with a virus, which only activates once our fear level raises above the thresh hold. Not your everyday common cold, then.
During my hunt for fuel and a battery I garnered the help of one of the team, ordering him to use his pneumatic drill to open blocked doors. Upon hearing the drill in the distance, I was immediately expecting a certain hessian-sack-covered enemy to start bumbling through a nearby door. My presumption wasn't far off, however, as shortly after acquiring the equipment and being barricaded in a cabin, fear took over our friend with the drill, and we then had a heavy-handed monster to take care off. In typical fashion, my best bet for defeating this monstrosity was to aim for his glowing puss-bubbles; dealing large amounts of damage and ultimately taking him out. Instead, due to low ammo, I decided to run, and with the arrival of yet another colleague, we managed to escape and leave behind mr driller.
Soon after escaping and encountering a handful of zombie pigs (yeah), Moira and I were once again left alone to fend for ourselves. In a bizarre twist, I ended up meeting Natalia and she joined up with Claire and Moira on their journey. Seeing as though her last words with Barry in episode one were that his daughter was dead, makes me intrigued as to how Natalia is still alive, and how her story fits into both sections. Is she a ghost? Who the heck knows, but I'm determined to find out. One great oaf of a zombie later, part one of my journey was complete and the switch over to Barry began.
I'm currently enjoying my time more with Barry than I am Claire and Moira. He runs faster, doesn't feel sluggish and can get the job done, given he has enough ammo. I think Capcom has intentionally treaded a fine line to make you feel hard-pushed for bullets at every turn. Pushing through the areas already covered by Claire and his daughter, I met an invisible enemy (why, Capcom, WHY?!), and got to fight yet another man with angry-drill syndrome.
Thing is, this time I had to kill him and take his drill in order to proceed – no running away this time. It wasn't all shoot, shoot, bang, bang. I did manage to get quite a few stealth kills in amongst the bubbling, two-headed, backwards fumbling monsters. It was nice to at least pretend to be stealthy at times, on the rare occasion I could be. At the end of Barry's leg of the journey, I was confronted by none other than the sister of the infamous Albert Wesker, Alex Wesker.
Closing Comments
At the moment we're technically (barring the additional add-ons), halfway through the campaign. There are only two episodes left, and I'm eager to find out where the hell it's going to lead next. I must say, though, it's nice to see a familiar, albeit slightly disfigured face back in the mix.

Hi Koen Bok Benjamin Den Boer is there something like a layer.globalX or layer.convertLocalToGlobal() in Framer? I looked into layer.screenFrame but that didn't solved my problem. I have pages in a PageContainer I want to detect when each page goes beyond the global 0 x axis.
Hey Benny Chew - yes. Couple of things: 1. Canvas.width/height (entire window)2. Screen.width/height (device screen)3. Framer.Device.screen.x/y/width/height (same as screen, plus x/y)
There's also Utils.globalLayers() - which is named similarly to the function names you've described - but it's for renaming imported layers so they can be targeted directly. (sketch.tabBar > tabBar)
Thanks, these are very handy. I actually meant converting a local x or a sub layer in relation to the screen root, outputting a global x.
I tried to figure it out (math arghh :) and I think I did. It's simple. Global x of sub layer in relation to screen = sub layer local x - parent layer (page container) x.
Benny, try layer.screenFrame :)
Also, layer.canvasFrame
Thanks guys. I think I finally got it to work. What I wanted is when you drag the next card will gradually show itself (opacity), you know. Only problem is the last card, it needs 56 px more right padding, but I don't know whats wrong. I also had problems importing a layer with transparency in it, the navbar, had to manually import it with a opaque bg.
Here is the prototype: http://share.framerjs.com/vug5er2q36kt/
