A. Executive Summery:
GrameenPhone is the leading company in the mobile telecommunication industry of Bangladesh. It has been successful to build a superior image in comparison to the other operators. In other words, GP has a clear advantage over the competitors. GrameenPhone has some additional features in comparison to its competitors. It is playing a vital role to increase the subscribers of GrameenPhone. Another important thing is that GP users are mostly satisfied with the initial price of GP connections and hand-sets. Because, before GP's introduction to the market, mobile phones were totally out of reach to the major part of the current market. Moreover, GrameenPhone subscribers are happy with the country-wide network. But overall, GP users are not satisfied with service of the company. Many important factors are acting as reasons behind this overall dissatisfaction. Quality of airtime and network availability is not satisfactory. GrameenPhone connections are not always available. This is especially true for the Pre-Paid service. (Very recently, after conducting my survey, situation has been changed slightly). Sometimes, the subscribers need to pay extra money to get this service. The GPC of GP is very important for some after-sales services. But, these have shortage of capacity. GP hotline is also an important customer care tool. But it is also in shortage of capacity. Subscribers need to spend significant amount of time to reach the customer care. Behavior of the hotline CM (Customer Manager) is also questionable. But if we think from their end CM (Customer Manager) it is too tough to handle a large numbers of subscribers with a smiling face continuously. Again the problem is capacity. Most of the subscribers are not happy with the billing rate of GrameenPhone. They think it is too high in the context of Bangladesh Another significant dissatisfaction of the GP users is that most of the GP connections are mobile to mobile. They do not have access to BTTB. But it is important for many subscribers to get this service. Most alarming thing is that most of the GrameenPhone users are not loyal towards the company.
GrameenPhone Ltd. (GP) is the market leader in the mobile telecommunication industry of Bangladesh. The address of its Head Office is: Celebration Point, Plot No. 3 & 5, Road No. 113/A, Gulshan-2, Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh. GP is a joint venture between Bangladesh and Norway.

Daffodil International University infrastructures of Bangladesh and is a major contributor to the development of the national economy. GrameenPhone is one of the largest private sector investments in the country with an accumulated investment of BDT 5200 crore up to December 2005. GrameenPhone is also one the largest taxpayers in the country, having contributed nearly BDT 5000 crore in direct and indirect taxes to the Government Exchequer over the years of which is amount, BDT 1670 crore was paid in 2005, BDT 2300 crore was paid in 2006 and more BDT 2580 crore was paid in 2007 alone. GP was also the first operator to introduce the pre-paid service in September 1999. In addition to core voice services, GrameenPhone offers a number of value-added services, in each case on both a contract and prepaid basis. It established the first 24-hour Call Center, introduced value-added services such as VMS, SMS, Fax & Data Transmission Services, International Roaming Service, WAP, SMS - based Push-Pull Services, EDGE, personal ring back tone and many other products and services. GrameenPhone nearly doubled its subscriber base during the initial years while the growth was much faster during the later years. It ended the inaugural year with 18,000 customers, 30,000 by the end of 1998, 60,000 in 1999, 193,000 in 2000, 471,000 in 2001, 775,000 in 2002, 1.16 million in 2003, 2.4 million in 2004, 5.5 million in 2005 with, 13.2 in 2006, and now GrameenPhone has more 1,80,44,240 subscribers up to 5 December 2007. GrameenPhone offers the widest coverage in Bangladesh. The population coverage has increased from approximately 85% in 2005, 90% in 2006 and it is more 97% at 2007. In addition, GrameenPhone also offers EDGE to its subscribers From the very beginning, GrameenPhone placed emphasis on providing good aftersales services. In recent years, the focus has been to provide after-sales within a short distance from where the customers live. There are now more than 600 GP Service Desks (GPSD) all over the Bangladesh and a Customer Manager is covering nearly all subdistricts of 61 districts. In addition, there are more 39 GP Customer Centers (GPC) in all the divisional cities and they remain open from 8am-8pm every day including all holidays (365 days service point). GrameenPhone has generated direct and indirect employment for a large number of people over the years. The company presently has more than 5165 full-time, part-time and
Daffodil International University contractual employees. Another 1,00,000 people are directly dependent on GrameenPhone for their livelihood, working for the GP dealers, retailers, scratch card outlets, suppliers, vendors, contractors and others. In addition, the Village Phone Program, also started in 1997, provides a good income-earning opportunity to more than 200,000 mostly women Village Phone operators living in rural areas. The Village Phone Program is a unique initiative to provide universal access to telecommunications service in remote, rural areas. Administered by Grameen Telecom Corporation, it enables rural people who normally cannot afford to own a telephone to avail the service while providing the Village Phone operators an opportunity to earn a living. The Village Phone initiative was given the "GSM in the Community" award at the Global GSM Congress held in Cannes, France in February 2000. GrameenPhone was also adjudged the Best Joint Venture Enterprise of the Year at the Bangladesh Business Awards in 2002. GrameenPhone considers its employees to be one of its most important assets. GP has an extensive employee benefit scheme in place including Gratuity, Provident Fund, Group Insurance, Family Health Insurance, Transportation Facility, Day Care Centre, Children's Education Support, and Higher Education Support for employees, In-House Medical Support and other initiatives.
Daffodil International University The people of GrameenPhone are young, dedicated and energetic. All employees are well educated at home or abroad, with an even distribution of males and females and social groups in Bangladesh. They know in their hearts that GrameenPhone is more than phones. This sense of purpose gives them the dedication and the drive, producing the biggest coverage and subscriber-base in the country. GrameenPhone provides equal employment opportunities and recognizes the talents and energy of its employees.
GrameenPhone Global System for Mobile or GSM technology is the most widely accepted digital system in the world, currently used by over a billion people in 172 countries. GSM brings the most advanced developments in cellular technology at a reasonable cost by spurring severe competition among manufacturers and driving down the cost of equipment. Thus, consumers get the best for the least. GrameenPhone is now the leading telecommunications service provider in the country with more than 10 million subscribers as of January 2007. Presently, there about 15 million telephone users in the country, of which, a little over one million are fixed-phone users and the rest mobile phone subscribers. Starting its operations on March 26, 1997, the Independence Day of Bangladesh, GrameenPhone has come a long way. It is a joint venture enterprise between Telenor AS (62%), the largest telecommunications service provider in Norway with mobile phone operations in 12 other countries, and Grameen Telecom Corporation (38%), a non-profit sister concern of the internationally acclaimed micro-credit pioneer Grameen Bank. 12
1.5 GrameenPhone CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In the fast-paced world of telecommunications, vibrant and dynamic Corporate Governance practices are an essential ingredient to success. GrameenPhone believes in the continued improvement of Corporate Governance. This in turn has led the company to commit considerable resources and implement internationally accepted Corporate Standards in its day-to-day operations. Being a private limited company, the Board of Directors of GrameenPhone have a pivotal role to play in meeting all stakeholders' interests. The Board of Directors and the Management Team of GrameenPhone are committed to maintaining effective Corporate Governance through a culture of Accountability, Transparency, Well-Understood Policies and Procedures. The Board of Directors and the Management Team also persevere to maintain compliance of all laws of Bangladesh and all internally documented regulations, policies and procedures. GrameenPhone is a truly transparent company that operates at the highest levels of integrity and accountability on a global standard.
1.6 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES; AN INTEGRAL PART OF GP
GrameenPhone started its journey 10 years back with a believe "Good development is good business". Since its inception, GrameenPhone has been driven to be inspiring and leading by example, when it comes to being involved in the community. GrameenPhone believe that, sustainable development can only be achieved through long 13
Daffodil International University term economic growth. Therefore, as a leading corporate house in Bangladesh GP intend to deliver the best to their customers, business partners, stakeholders, employees and society at large by being a partner in development.
To interact effectively and responsibly with the society and to contribute to the socio-economic development of Bangladesh, GrameenPhone has adopted a holistic approach to Corporate Social Responsibility, i.e. Strategic & Tactical. Through this approach GP aims to, on the one hand involve itself with the larger section of the society and to address diverse segments of the stakeholder demography, and on the other remain focused in its social investment to generate greater impact for the society. GrameenPhone focuses its Corporate Social Responsibility involvement in three main areas - Health, Education and Empowerment. They aim to combine all their CSR initiatives under these three core areas to enhance the economic and social growth of Bangladesh.
Helping and caring for the community is an essential component of GrameenPhone Corporate Social Responsibility; therefore they endeavor to make a positive contribution to the underprivileged community of Bangladesh by helping in improvement of the health perils in the country as much as possible.
Daffodil International University Healthcare is still inaccessible for many Bangladeshis. Almost half of the country's population live below the poverty line and cannot even afford basic healthcare. Only 35% of the rural population use adequate sanitation facilities and 72% have access to clean drinking water. Moreover the people of the flood-prone areas suffer from many waterborne diseases.
Keeping their vision in mind - We are here to help; GrameenPhone aim to extend their contribution to the development of the healthcare system and work to provide a brighter and healthier future for the people of Bangladesh.
Education is the key to prosperity and good life. Every human being should have the opportunity to make a better life for him or herself. One of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) for Bangladesh is to achieve universal primary education; unfortunately too many children in Bangladesh today grow up without this opportunity, because they are denied their basic right to even attend primary school. The country's low literacy rate of 41% (2004 UNESCO Report), may indicate that we are far away in pursuit
Daffodil International University of sustainable development, but at the same time the gradual increase in the adult literacy rate gives us the hope that our nation has the potential to improve in this sector.
The marginalized and disadvantaged groups in general - particularly the rural and urban-poor of Bangladesh - have significantly less access to education than other groups. Though initial enrollment in primary school is high, the completion rate is notably low; approximately 65% (World Bank Report 2004) and a smaller percent of that even complete secondary school. Bangladesh government has provided lot of incentives, such as, free distribution of textbooks in primary schools, secondary stipend program for 100% of the girls, Food for Education project, to encourage and improve the educational sector of the country, which has helped in improvement in the literacy rate. But still we have a long way to go to make our country illiteracy free, thus GP look forward to support this sector, which will eventually help to build a developed country.
Providing access to education, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds who might not otherwise get the opportunity, is the main goal of GrameenPhone CSR education initiatives. Many people in Bangladesh still lack the basic technological knowledge and marketable skills, thus GP plan to focus further to develop an educated and skilled workforce through creating opportunity in capacity development; skilled workforce would in turn be able to create and share knowledge and contribute to the economy of Bangladesh.
Some of the major factors contributing to this situation are inequality in income distribution, lack of access to resources, lack of access to information and inadequate infrastructure. The rural people of Bangladesh especially are deprived of these facilities, which is a major issue to break out from the shackles of poverty prevailing in the country. Empowerment is a key constituent towards poverty reduction, and it is a key driver for sustainable economic development. Empowerment is a process of enhancing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes, which in turn helps them to secure a better life. GP acknowledge that development and poverty reduction depend on holistic economic prosperity; therefore their aim is to increase development opportunities, enhance development outcomes and contribute towards development of the quality of life of the people through their CSR initiatives and innovative services. They would like to facilitate empowerment opportunities to the vulnerable people of Bangladesh, so that it enables them to better influence the course of their lives and live a life of their own choice.

1.10 Current State & Future Direction of GP:
As my discussion shows, GP is doing great in its business. Their market share is significantly high. The mobile telecommunication industry is also growing at a significant pace. But, if we assess the external environment, we find, the path for Grameen Phone is not that smooth. The service of GP is extensively dependent on BTTB (Bangladesh Telephone & Telegraph Board). In many cases, GP did not get full support of the government owned department. E.g. Initially, GP provided connections that were accessible to BTTB land phones. But at one point of time, BTTB stopped to provide anymore support in this regard. At that time GP had to innovate the 'mobile to mobile' concept to continue the business growth. So, it has the scope to enhance and strengthen its market position. To do so, they need to put more stress on their policies like efficiency, quality, innovation, and customer responsiveness. If everything goes right, with least risk I can say, GP is headed towards a bright future.
Project Project Part Part
Topic of my internship project is "Assessing Customer Satisfaction of Grameen Phone." I got the opportunity to do my internship at Grameen Phone Ltd. I have been working at Customer Service, Commercial Division. This division consists of 2500 employees. As the name implies, it deals with the customers after the sales occurs. Main activities of this division includes maintaining databases of the customers, preparing the bills, distributing bills, activating new connections, hotline service, collection of bill through different banks all over the country, and the other after sales services. As a member of GP's Customer Service, my job is to provide different services to our valued subscribers over telephone, which is the hotline service. In other words, my job is to satisfy the subscribers. In my internship project, I have tried to judge the satisfaction level of GP service holders.
This project was designed to accomplish three objectives. From my point of view, these issues are very important find out the gap between expectation and perception of the subscribers and to eliminate dissatisfaction. Through this study, I tried to attain the following objectives: Prime objective of my study was to find out the satisfaction level of GrameenPhone subscribers.
Daffodil International University As an outcome of the prime objective, I tried to notice the specific areas of dissatisfaction of the GP users. I applied the GAPs Model of service quality to find out both the customer and provider gaps.
From the organization part we came to know that Grameen Phone is the market leader in the mobile telecommunication industry of Bangladesh. Their growth rate is very high. But in this edge of competition, it is very difficult to keep the leading edge intact. Companies need to come up with new ideas to remain competitive. They need to keep their customers satisfied. So, it is very important for GrameenPhone to know whether their customers are satisfied or not. If the customers are not satisfied, GP can specify the zones of dissatisfaction and take necessary actions to remove the dissatisfactions. Hence, I decided to work on this topic.
My hypothesis is, "Although GrameenPhone is leading the market of mobile telecommunication industry with a sharp distance, and their customers are not fully satisfied with the company's services. If GP does not take care of these dissatisfactions and other companies are operating in the market with similar offers, it will be difficult for GrameenPhone to keep the current market share intact." In my hypothesis, I have first admitted that GrameenPhone is the market leader of the mobile telecommunication industry of Bangladesh. As per the market share data, there
Daffodil International University is no scope for argumentation on this issue. But I assumed that the customers of GP are not fully satisfied and loyal to GP. My logic behind this assumption was: GP is a highly growing company. It tripled its subscriber base in the year 2000. In this high growth situation, it is very difficult to keep the customers satisfied. Another assumption of my hypothesis was, if GP does not take care of the dissatisfactions and another company comes with similar offer, it will be difficult for GrameenPhone to keep their market share intact. The logic that supported this idea was: I assumed GP's customers are not brand loyal. They are using GP's service as they do not have any suitable alternative. So, if a big player form another industry enters this business, it can be challenging for GrameenPhone.
In my study I mainly depended on primary data that was collected through direct survey. I developed a questionnaire that consisted mainly closed-ended questions. There was one open-ended question also. Data collection was done on a random basis. The results are represented through bar charts. My research findings came out through analyzing those data. I also collected data and necessary information by interviewing officials of GP. These can be treated as secondary data. After the analysis part, I have applied the GAPs Model of service quality on my findings. Finally, I came up with my recommendations. 41
2.6 Customer Satisfaction: (From Theoretical View)
Customer satisfaction is the extent to which a product or service's perceived performance matches a buyer's expectations. If the product or service's performance falls short of expectations, the buyer is dissatisfied. If performance matches or exceeds expectations, the buyer is satisfied or delighted. Expectations are based on customers past buying experiences, the opinion of friends and associates, and marketer and competitor information and promises. Marketer must be careful to set the right level of expectations. If they set expectations too low, they may satisfy those who buy but fail to attract enough buyers. In contrast, if they raise expectations too high buyers are likely to be disappointed. Dissatisfaction can arise either from a decrease in product and service quality or from an increase in customer expectations. In either case, it presents an opportunity for companies that can deliver superior customer value and satisfaction. Today's most successful companies are rising expectations—and delivering performance to match. Such companies track their customers' expectations, perceived company performance, and customer satisfaction. Highly satisfied customers produce several benefits for the company. Satisfied customers are fewer prices sensitive, remain customers for a longer period, and talk favorably to others about the company and its products & services. Although the customer centered firm seeks to deliver high customer satisfaction relative to its competitors, it does not attempt to maximize customer satisfaction. A company can always increase customer satisfaction by lowering its price increasing its services, but it may result in lower profits. Thus, the purpose of marketing is to generate customer value profitably. This requires a very delicate balance: The marketer must continue to generate more customer value and satisfaction but not "give away house." Now, we have a very good idea regarding the importance of customer satisfaction. So, it is also important for the company to know about the satisfaction level of the customers. When any problem is identified, it becomes easier to solve the problem. In the
Daffodil International University next part of my paper I have focused on the 'Customer Satisfaction Factors' of GrameenPhone. That has been followed by my primary research: a survey to find out the 'customer satisfaction level' of GrameenPhone.
2.7 Customer Satisfaction Factors of GP
2.7.1 Airtime
2.7.2 After Sales Services
After sales service is one of the very important factors in the mobile telecommunication industry. GP has extensive after sales customer care tools. I would like to focus on these tools one by one:
The centralized Call Management Center in Dhaka is manned by trained professionals and is opening round-the-clock, responding to subscribers' queries from all over the country where GrameenPhone has its coverage. GrameenPhone Ltd has recently introduced a single dedicated hotline number 121 for all of its subscribers to provide instant service. At present there are more than 450 dedicated and energetic employees are working to provide instant over phone service to the subscribers. Call Management Center 43
Daffodil International University is well equipped with state of the art software's and other important tools through which most of the problems of the subscribers can be solved instantly. Call Management Center remains open 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Recently GrameenPhone introduced dialect based hotline for the first time in the region, to provide more customized service to its subscribers. Through this innovative service GP subscribers can communicate with the Customer Managers at their own dialect. At present GP provide services through all the major dialects of the country- Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal and Noakhali.
This is a newly introduced service by GrameenPhone. This is a automated hotline service. GP subscribers need to dial 121 to reach this service. After that s/he can get information regarding bill, usage, credit policy, bank name that receives GP's bill, and so on by choosing different options. Subscriber needs to pay TK 2 per minute for using the IVR.
2.7.5 GrameenPhone Centre (GPC)
GrameenPhone Center (GPC) is the most recent innovation of GrameenPhone with the aim to provide all kinds of mobile phone related services to its subscribers. For the first time in Bangladesh subscribers will get both SIM and handset related services from the GrameenPhone Centers. So far GrameenPhone introduced 39 well decorated GPC in the country. All these GPC are not only providing after sales services but also working as the main sales channel of the company. Within each GPC there is a separate section allocated for selling and repairing handsets at an affordable cost. GrameenPhone Centers are open from 08:00 AM to 08:00 PM everyday (365 day).
Daffodil International University Previously people at the rural areas had to come in the major cities to get customer service, which is a real hassle and time consuming process for them. To solve this problem GrameenPhone introduced Service Desk with a vision to provide service at the rural and remote areas. At present GrameenPhone have total 607 Service Desk around the country through which it provide service at grass root level. All these GPSD remain open from 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM in five days a week.
"Travelers to Customer" is another recent addition of service in Customer Service Department which is also the first time of its kind in the country. The major responsibility of this unit is to provide service at the customer's doorstep with the slogan of "Let's not expect the customers to travel to get the service rather let service travel to the customers". Currently it's providing service in the major cities of the country and to the high volume users of GrameenPhone.
2.7.9 Outbound Calling Center
Outbound Calling Center is another addition of innovative service of Customer Service Department. A group of young, energetic and well trained employees are working in Outbound Calling Center and they are responsible to call back the subscriber to get feedback about the service quality. One of the major responsibilities of the unit is to 45
Daffodil International University identify all the dissatisfied customer and try to bring them back so that they stay with GrameenPhone. Moreover the unit is also responsible to provide service to all those subscribers who have repeatedly accessed hotline, with the same kind of problem. In this way outbound calling center plays a major role in holding the existing subscribers.
The Corporate Customer Center aims to provide quality customer service to the country's preferential business customers. A professionally trained team is dedicated to provide After Sales Services and Solutions customized to the need of the business customers and initiate pro-active visits as a part of routine contact to look into the needs with an aim to build long-term professional relationships. Their professional customer care team is available to help seven days a week, 365 days of the year - whether for general queries, or to assist with any problems subscribers may possibly face. Their dedicated relationship managers are assigned to provide personalized service right from the beginning of the relationship.
I developed my questionnaire (enclosed in the APPENDIX) mainly focusing on the customer satisfaction factors of GrameenPhone. There were ten closed-ended questions. I kept one open-ended question to better understand the gap between customers expectation and satisfaction level. My topic of this project was 'Assessing Customer Satisfaction of GrameenPhone'. As I aimed to assess the satisfaction level, I only surveyed the 'users' of GrameenPhone.
Daffodil International University The sample size was 100. I went for random sampling. But I picked the sample mainly from Dhaka Division. In the next part, I have represented my survey findings.

Need more investment for this concern 5. Arranging some awareness program for the subscribers regarding unnecessary network traffic.

Though now a day GP is offering a completive price for its packages but subscribers have negative mentality for their previous experience. 1. People are preserving negative past experience regarding this mater. 55
Daffodil International University 2. Other operators are providing comparatively less price for their packages. 3. Other operators are knocking less price concept to the subscribers. 4. Sometimes the forecasters of GP are not taking efficient decisions timely. 5. GP is following Authorized dealership (who are committed to follow some roles and regulations) policy to sale their product.

GP also has a tendency not to provide the lowest call rate to its subscribers 4. There does have any awareness advertisement regarding its tariff plan 5. Sometimes GP retrieves its promotional less tariff to previous tariff.
Tariff has a great sensitivity for the economic users. So GP may consider the following1. GP may provide such margin tariff thus others can't make revise advantages 2. GP might arrange awareness program regarding its current tariff. 3. The mind of brand managers should to be subscribers oriented. 4. GP should to design their tariff according to market expectation. 5. GP should to offer a unique tariff plan for any no. (All GP & other operators)

A positive customer reaction is highly appreciable for a service providing company. But a GP is holding a very low marking for this area. So GP may do the following1.

Make sure the capacity of quality service with increasing the no subscribers 4. GP should to ensure a minimum time to solve a particular problem. 5.

Some users also believe that new operator will apply lower tariffs. 5. GP does not have a strong policy to make loyal its subscribers.
Customer loyalty is great concern for a service oriented company. But GP didn't gate a good marking regarding this concern. More 36 people has swing tendency if they got enough facility by other operator. So, GP may do the following to increase the loyalty. 1. GP has to increase the facility according to the market expectation. 2. Tariff need reduce up to market completive level. 3. Should to gear up the service level by which people become satisfied by it. 4. Have to arrange more promotional offer frequently thus subscriber become loyal 5. Need to increase a friendly attitude toward the subscriber suggestion.
Customer perceptions are subjective assessments of actual service experience. The following figure correspond to two concepts: customer expectations and customer perceptions--that play a major role in service marketing. Customer expectations are the standards of or reference points for performance, against which service experiences are compared, and are often formulated in terms of what a customer believes, should or will happen.
Expected Service GAP Perceived Service Figure: The Customer GAP The sources of customer expectations consists of market controllable factors (such as pricing, advertising, sales promises) as well as factors that the marketer has limited ability to affect (innate personal needs, word-of-mouth communications, competitive offerings). In a perfect word, expectations and perceptions would be identical: customers would perceive that they receive what they thought they would and should. Customer satisfaction is well depended on how successfully the companies can reduce or close the gap, as shown in the above figure. In broad sense, the process of closing the customer gap can be subdivided into four 'company gaps,' discrepancies within the organization that inhibit delivery of quality service.
Company gap 1: Not knowing what customers expect Reasons: • Inadequate marketing research orientation. 72
Daffodil International University • Lack of upward communication. • Inefficient relationship focus.
Company gap 2: Not selecting the right service designs and standards Reasons: • Absence of customer-driven standards. • Inadequate service leadership. • Poor service design. Company gap 3: Not delivering to service standards Reasons: • Deficiencies in human resource policies. • Failure to match supply and demand. • Customer not fulfilling roles. Company gap 4: Not matching performance to promises Reasons: • Ineffective management of customer expectations. • Over promising. • Inadequate horizontal communication. Coming back to my project, I tried to find out the four company gaps of GrameenPhone, considering the data that I have attained through survey and secondary research.
GrameenPhone Company Gap 1: Not knowing what customers expect 73
GrameenPhone does extensive marketing research on a continuous basis. Moreover, there is always bottom-up communication, which enables GP to better understand what customers expect; because the low-end officers deal the customers and they better understand what customers expects. So, I reach to the conclusion that GrameenPhone has no 'company gap 1' at present.
GrameenPhone Company Gap 2: Not selecting the right service designs and standards From the survey results and my personal observations, I found few areas that I identified as gap 2. • Billing rate of GrameenPhone is very high in the context of Bangladesh. Although it is not playing disturbing role at present, it can emerge as a problem if any competitor reduces its billing rate keeping other features intact. • There is a high demand for BTTB accessible mobile phones. But currently this product is not offered by GrameenPhone. As the competitors are offering this product, GP is loosing its market share.
• Improper quality of airtime and network availability is also a problem for GrameenPhone. But as the experts give opinion, it is not abnormal in a network which is going through a massive development process.
GrameenPhone Company Gap 3: Not delivering to service standards
Daffodil International University This gap is also significant at GrameenPhone. This gap is very important, because it occurs when a company sets a standard but not deliver as per the standard. From my observation, some areas of gap 3 are: • It takes too much time to reach the hotline at the pick hours (Roughly 06 PM to 11 PM). As the subscribers need to pay TK 2.30 per minute even when they are waiting in the Que., it is a source of dissatisfaction for them. • It is expected to get good and polite behave from the hotline officers. But, as found from the survey results, the subscribers of GrameenPhone do not get appropriate behavior form the hotline. This can be an alarming problem for GP. Because it is very easy to lose a customer in a competitive market. • Most of the GP subscribers are not well educated. They are not equipped enough to handle the mobile phone appropriately. This lack of knowledge of the subscribers creates problems for GrameenPhone. They assume their inability as GP's poor service. GrameenPhone Company Gap 4: Not matching performance to promises GrameenPhone does not 'over promise' to its subscribers. It also has a good horizontal communication between its important functional divisions like Sales & Marketing, Commercial Division, and Technical. Still, I find some gaps under these criteria: • GrameenPhone is not successful to build a positive and friendly image in their subscribers' minds. Subscribers think that GP is not sincere about solving their needs. Moreover, GP management is not successful enough to educate their subscribers properly. These factors are increasing the gap 4 according to my observation.
3.2 Recommendations to close the GAPs
Daffodil International University I designed my recommendations aiming to close the gaps between customers' expectations and perceptions regarding GP service. My recommendations are: • GrameenPhone should provide all the connections with access to BTTB. It is perceived as an essential feature by a significant portion of the subscribers. • GP should earn flexibility to be able to reduce the bill, if necessary. But currently they should not reduce the billing rate as no one is offering lower than them. • There should be more GPC at the southern side of the capital city.' • Network development should be steady. GP should never sell connections excess to its capacity. • Capacity of the hotline should be increased in the pick hours. • The Customer Managers of the hotline should be well trained to improve their behavior and quality of service. • Different programs should be taken to educate the subscribers regarding different essential features of mobile phone. • GrameenPhone should take extensive program to build a positive image among their users. In this process they should try to eliminate the misconceptions of the users regarding GP.
Daffodil International University The basic strategy of GrameenPhone is widening their market through their emerging country-wide network. As a result of this strategy, the subscribers are from different segments or from different income levels. Moreover, the subscribers are from all over Bangladesh and scattered all over the country. But the sample that I used to conduct my survey was mostly from Dhaka division. So, it was not a perfectly representative sample. Moreover, it was not possible to get all required internal information of the company as these are treated as confidential company information.
Daffodil International University I would like to start the conclusion part by restating the hypothesis of my study. My hypothesis was, "Although GrameenPhone is leading the market of mobile telecommunication industry with a sharp distance, and their customers are not fully satisfied with the company's services. If GP does not take care of these dissatisfactions and other operators in the market with similar offers, it will be difficult for GrameenPhone to keep the current market share intact." From the analysis of the survey results and GAPs Model, it is clear that GP's subscribers are dissatisfied with different services of the company. Moreover, the analysis indicated that the subscribers of GrameenPhone are not loyal toward the company. They clearly pointed that other operators are providing similar offer, they are not hesitating to switch. So, my hypothesis is proved as a valid one. But there was a condition in my hypothesis: 'If GP does not take care of these dissatisfactions...'. Therefore, I recommended some courses of action. My observations make me believe that If GP follows these recommendations; it will enable them to achieve a sustainable distinct competitive advantage and to run smoothly with loyal subscribers & market leadership.

The Governor’s office argues that they followed instructions given by the Center for Disease Control in an attempt to conserve hospital beds and limit capacity. Between Mar. 25, when the mandate was implemented in place, and May 10 when retracted, more than 6,300 COVID-19 positive patients received admission into nursing homes. Kim’s Queens district, one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, was also home to his uncle who died in April of 2020 in a nursing home.
Cuomo praised his administration for the hard work it did during the pandemic to protect nursing homes. Cuomo in September stated in a press conference that they were 46 out of 50 states in terms of nursing home deaths even while being hit the hardest. He even compares the state’s actions and outcomes to Floridas.
When comparing New York to Florida, Florida was one of the worst-off states especially when it comes to nursing homes’ death. Data shows that about half of Florida’s COVID-19 deaths happened in nursing homes at the start of the pandemic. However, when accounting for the new data, New York surpasses Florida’s when it comes to nursing home deaths

Always, one of the highlights of the party is the table. I LOVE to plan and set the table. I've had this idea in my mind for quite awhile and so when it finally came time to put it together, I couldn't wait. In fact I set the table a week before the party. With a few minor adjustments, it came out just like I had planned.
I used a red throw for the Santa suit table cloth and white faux fur to run along each side of the table. Four inch black ribbon down the center and a white foam photo frame made up the belt.
I wouldn't recommend keeping the light on, they may get too hot. My party was in the afternoon, so I didn't need the added light.
and snow filled ornament place card holders. It wouldn't be a party without my cookies...Santa Boot Cookies!
So cute! Love the little Santa hats on the light! I love, love, love the boot cookies! I think they are one of my favorites:) Beautiful!
Wow! What a cute idea. I love the simplicity, but trendiness of this table. I may have to give it a go for one of my family "theme" nights. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks Heather! The hats on the chandelier looked really pretty when they were turned on at night - (I only left them on for a moment!) :)

Custom sleeve case for 13.3" & 13" MacBook
protection scratches value mac protect pro thin delivery snugly zip scratching envelope prevent durable tested delivered described backpack
5.0 out of 5 starsas it says on the box...
....or in this 'case' on the website. snugly fits my 13.3" macbook (white), well rounded edges and margins, has two zip fasteners. i did try to test the waterproof bit, spilled a little bit of water (just a little bit! didn't have nerves to do a 'full' test), which didn't seep through. i bought it to use it as a cover for the laptop, such that i can place it along with files, books, mobiles, stationary etc. in my rucksack/backpack or any other bag (with a padded laptop compartment), to protect it from accidental marks/scratches whilst traveling.
it is cushioned, almost the thickness of a bubble envelope, and i guess it would provide a similar level of protection (may be lesser, because of the air capsule effect of a bubble envelope) but i guess it's sufficient for most purposes with proper handling care.
the seller had been brilliant, delivered in time (in fact early), packaged well.
all in all, the product is just as described on the website, and serves a particular purpose.
4.0 out of 5 starsgreat value sleeve
A simple product which does the job for 13.3 lap tops (in my case a packard bell butterfly). Excellent value, and decent quality zips. I can't attest for the waterproof aspect - but it certainly repels light showers. Mostly though it gives the required level of protection when you place your laptop inside another bag (such as rucksack). Has a duragadget logo which looks a little cheap IMO, but otherwise looks somewhat better than you would expect for the price.
5.0 out of 5 starsGreat value and perfect for job!
This product is pretty much everything I expected after reviewing the specs and reading the reviews posted by previous purchasers. I have a 13.3" macbook pro and it fits pretty snugly inside the case. There is a little bit of extra room (approximately 1/4") but it is not noticeable and does not impact the protection offered by the case. Note that I have not tested the water resistance as I use it to prevent scratching on the computer casing while being carried in my bag. However, I do live in London which has more than its fair share of rain and so far there has been no damage or moisture at all to/on my computer even when rain has soaked through the outer laptop bag.
For the price, I think you would be hard put to find anything better. The case is stylish, sleek, and effective.
2.0 out of 5 starsPoor quality Neoprene - not good value
It might seem cheap, and it is. But you get what you pay for. Paper thin neoprene with no inner lining. You might as well put your precious laptop in a bubble wrap envelope. I "improved" mine by putting a lining in. Think of this as a dust cover and you'll be happy - but it offers little or no protection compared to more expensive products.
A. Matten
4.0 out of 5 starsPleased but the case fit is a little odd
I ordered this case on a Sunday and it had arrived by Tuesday (very good service!). Unfortunately it was delivered folded so this has left a line down the front which I hope will drop out with time. Case is exactly as described (in fact it looks better than in the picture) and definitely waterproof - I tested it under a tap! The macbook is protected from the zip when it is in the case.
The only thing I found was the fit was a bit strange - you can pull the corners round the macbook to fit it into the bottom half of the case but then this doesn't use the top bit when it is zipped up (as the macbook is quite think). This isn't a problem though - I guess you could then put documents inside if you needed to.
Overall I'm pleased with the product and with the value for money.
2.0 out of 5 starsNot enohg protection. Managed to scratch my laptop while it was in it
I had my macbook in my backpack and it was pretty filled when I removed it there was a scratch on the top of my screen that does not come off. I must have bumped my bag against one of the chairs in the train. It did not protect it at all. Now I got an ugly mark on my screen visible. I have to get a stronger skin for it now.
It's a great price but ony if you keep it at home and not for commuting and busy public transport.
The neoprene is pretty thin, and does not feel safe enough for a 1200pounds laptop. :(
It's NOT durable at all!
4.0 out of 5 starsSimple Black Sleeve
The sleeve is very light and slim, perfect for slipping into a backpack. It feels good quality, durable and waterproof. The padding is not too thick - it will protect against all scratches and small drops but not large falls. It came in a large envelope (not folded) and within 48 hours! Fantastic service and price. There is even the offer of a postage refund if you like the sleeve enough to leave a positive review.
Bought this sleeve for my dell xps studio 13 and it fits very tightly (particularly at the thick part of the laptop). Overall a good simple little sleeve to offer adequate protection for transporting your laptop.
Jen23uk
Purchased this sleeve for my MacBook for the odd times I will travel with it (which I haven't yet), as well as to keep the dust off it and prevent scratches to the case when at home.
Like the title says- it "does what it says on the tin". It fits my laptop snugly and does prevent it getting dusty and unintentionally scratched.
Not having travelled with it, I don't know how it would do with coping helping against drops and heavier scratches, but I'm not entirely sure as to how your laptop would get heavily scratched whilst in your bag anyways!
Either way, this is a good value, simple product, and I would recommend it!
macbook pro fits wonderful inside, good product

This is a great case, it fits my laptop snugly and works well. It is waterproof too, however this is only on the material not the zip.
I purchased this item about a month ago and the estimated time of arrival was almost 2 weeks ago, but nothing has come and I am still waiting for it to arrive

PM Theresa May was right to give an unequivocal "yes" according to 66 percent of Britons, when asked if she would personally launch a retaliatory nuclear strike that would kill 100,000 civilians, while 59 percent say they would push the button themselves.
The British Prime Minister May said she would use the UK's nuclear arsenal in response to a nuclear attack by a foreign nation, as she was promoting the renewal of the Trident missile system in Parliament. She argued that threats to the UK from such countries as Russia and North Korea "remain very real." | http://www.understandthetimes.org/inthenews/1104_wrw1.shtml | 2022/07/02 19:30:54 | mC4 |
1 | example_89641 | Mentoring Can Improve Your Leadership Skills - Peg Calvario - Executive Coach Philadelphia - Peg Calvario – Executive Coach Philadelphia
Many people believe that you are either born with leadership skills or you are not. Although some people are natural born leaders, it is possible to learn how to lead and mentoring could do just that. Besides, we often don't talk about the skills you can strengthen from being a mentor.
If you want to grow as a leader, consider these leadership skills one gains from a mentoring relationship.
Three Leadership Skills You Can Gain from Mentoring
1. Become a more effective listener.
For many leaders suffering from information overload, listening intently may be a challenge. And it may be even just as difficult to give everyone your undivided attention. Mentoring, on a regular basis, may help you train yourself to focus your full attention on others when they're speaking to you. This is one practice could pay dividends in your leadership development.
Mentoring may help you see things with new eyes. Consider mentoring people who are not like you. This may include people in different industries or generations, the opposite gender, people with disabilities or a military background to name a few. Diversity in mentoring opportunities may help you see multiple perspectives, which can expand and enrich your thinking. This shift in thinking may also enhance your problem-solving skills by helping you generate multiple solutions to a problem. It's all about helping you develop leadership agility.
3. Sharpen your storytelling abilities.
Mentoring is not about telling people to do this or that. Rather it's about showing them the possibilities. One of the most memorable ways of doing this is through storytelling. Stories are the glue that can help make your message stick. I'm sure there are many stories from your own experience that can help those you mentor. Storytelling can also be useful in your own role as a leader. Yet you may be reluctant to use storytelling because you may feel that you don't have the required skills. That's where practicing storytelling within a mentoring relationship may help. Such relationships usually provide a safe environment because they're generally based on mutual trust. Storytelling in this arena becomes a win-win for both parties.
Benefits for Mentor and Mentee
Finally, mentoring is more than giving advice, knowledge and insight. I have found the relationship offers reciprocal benefits for both mentor and the professional being mentored. It's always the personal satisfaction of helping others learn and discover their hidden potential that's most impactful to me.
Interested in learning more about mentoring next generation municipal government leaders? I will be speaking on that topic at the PA Borough Council Association Conference on May 9th.
Patricia Omoqui / April 28, 2017 at 8:07 am
Peg, I've dedicated enormous portions of time mentoring emerging leaders throughout Africa. I can attest to the fact that I have learned, grown, stretched and been inspired through this process. I wish more people would step up and be mentors to the mentorless. I wish more people understood the growth opportunities for BOTH sides of the relationships. Mentors are desperately needed globally. Thanks for this piece!
Peg Calvario / May 5, 2017 at 3:42 pm
Thanks so much for your comment Trish. From my experience, mentoring emerging leaders is really a gift I receive. | https://www.pegcalvario.com/mentoring-improves-your-leadership-skills/ | 2022/06/25 10:27:57 | mC4 |

5 Best Hair Care Tips for Men
It is often said that men are not as attentive to their hair as women. But in reality, it is just that there is a lack of information about how to care for their hair. This article provides some basic tips on how to take care of your man
Top 5 Hair care Tip For Men
Keep your hair trimmed and clean:
Use a conditioner after shampooing:
Avoid using too much heat on your hair:
Use a leave-in conditioner or serum to protect your locks from the elements
Keeping your hair healthy all year long is no easy feat. Unlike women, who can simply wash their scalps every few days and forget about it, men's hair requires a more thorough routine in order to stay in tip-top condition. Unlike women, who tend to blow-dry their hair and then go about their day, men's hair is generally curly and tends to require a more active maintenance routine. If you want to keep your hair healthy and straight all year round, you'll need to adopt a more thorough best hair care routine for men. And you will get answers on how to take care of thin hair males, how to improve hair quality males, . Here are some of the best tips for keeping your hair in the best shape possible.
Try a Hair Wax
Most men are guilty of letting their hair grow out for months, only to be disappointed when it doesn't look great after being styled. If you've been avoiding styling your hair, you should definitely consider waxing your mane. Waxing your hair removes all the hair on the top of your head so that you can get a better idea of how you want your style to look. Women love to wax their hair because it makes it so easy to get ready in the morning. They can simply throw on some makeup and a cute outfit, then grab a pair of heels and they are ready to go! Men, on the other hand, need to style their hair a lot more than women do. As a result, most men are too embarrassed to get a wax. This can lead to unkempt hair, which often leads to a messy and unprofessional appearance. If you've been letting your hair get unruly, try waxing it. Not only will it save you a lot of time, but it will also make you look a lot sharper
Always Shampoo After Conditioner
Conditioner is for your hair, not for your shampoo bottle. It's meant to nourish your mane and keep it from getting too dry. If you shampoo your hair without first applying a conditioner, you are basically stripping your hair of the natural oils that keep it healthy. Shampooing your hair without conditioner is one of the quickest ways to make your hair fall out. Shampoo cleans your hair and removes excess oils and dirt from your strands, which is a good thing. The problem comes when you don't follow it up with a conditioner. If you don't moisturize and nourish your hair, it will feel dry and crispy when you step out of the shower. Your hair will also look dull and lackluster. It's important to moisturize with shampoo and condition with a conditioner after you shampoo. Both ingredients help to keep your hair hydrated.
When you let your hair air dry, you are allowing the natural oils in your strands to remain intact. If you blow-dry your hair, you are essentially drying it out. Not only is blow-drying your hair a bad habit that leads to dryness, but it is also extremely damaging to your strands. If you want your hair to stay healthy and strong, it needs to be conditioned and hydrated. Condition, moisturize and apply a leave-in conditioner before going to sleep. Then, when you get up in the morning, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo that will get rid of the excess buildup from the night before. Don't rinse it out, but simply pat your strands dry.
When it comes to styling your hair, nothing is worse than a blow-dryer. It's the most common tool in any man's hairstyling arsenal, but it's actually one of the worst things you can do for your locks. You might be tempted to use a blow-dryer on your hair because it's usually messy and looks awful, but there are plenty of other tools that you can use. An iron can be helpful for straightening your hair, but it shouldn't be used on wet hair. Try using a flat iron on your tresses when they are dry. When you use hot tools on your hair, you are damaging your strands. Washing your hair every two days might be a bit much, but if you wash your hair too often, you're damaging it. It's important to keep your hair hydrated and conditioned in-between washes so that it doesn't get too dry.
Try a Deep Conditioning Treatment Once a Week
Deep conditioning treatments are a must for any man. They help to keep your locks hydrated and conditioned, and they are also excellent at repairing split ends. If you can get into the habit of only using deep conditioners once a week, you'll be able to avoid having to get haircuts for a very long time. There are a ton of different deep conditioners, so choose one that has the ingredients that you like. There are also plenty of different ways to use deep conditioners. You can use them as a mask, or you can massage them into your hair and scalp. Just make sure that you are using them every week to reap their full benefits. | https://www.shoprythm.com/blogs/men-care/5-best-hair-care-tips-for-men | 2022/06/28 00:28:31 | mC4 |
0 | example_108089 | Things I Know For Sure: Change in Perspective — Champagne Dreams
It has been quite the transforming week as I have been coming to terms with a lot of things, contemplating the moments that pass every single day. It had been rewarding, it's been new, it's been clear --- I can only be grateful for everything that I've been having.
1. "You deserve everything as much as I do." This is a sentence I've been repeating to myself every nth second in my life this week. Believe it or not, it has changed the way I looked at things, at people I interact with including every single car driver in front of me. Unbeknownst to many, I have road rage on most days, I hate every single driver in my way and every person crossing the street. Changing the way I see strangers has changed the way I treat them and my driving hours --- as I finally spare myself from unnecessary stress. On top of the stress, a change in that kind of perspective makes one act kindly towards another ---- to act as how one would want to be treated, striking off any notion that "I deserve this so I'll keep it to myself instead of giving it to you." This complements some of my learnings from last week and applying it in driving, in looking at people you meet at meetings, people whom you talk to, people who cross the road last minute --- it changes my entire perspective and looking at everyone equally and just like our own ---
2. Everything is in a form of transition. I owe this thinking to Wayne Dyer, whose book You'll See It When You Believe It has been a constant resident in my bed and of my Instagram feed. Dyer shares how he's avoided all the negativity --- by thinking these too, shall pass as we are all in a state of transition anyway.
3. It is where it should be. One super early morning of 4 AM, I was frantic that my favorite silk belt was nowhere to be found. No one likes losing things and especially when there is only one thing that will fit your entire ensemble. Instead of ranting on the help that she might have lost it, I kept my cool and just got out of my house in another belt. Thank goodness I didn't throw a tantrum because said belt turned up when I returned.
Consequently, there were some things I've lost, maybe forever, I don't really know. All I know is no one ever really owns anything in this world and when it goes away --- the only thing to remember is that it is where it should be.
4. Choose the path of least resistance. How guilty are we of persevering for things? Of course that is something we remind ourselves in the face of adversities and trying times but --- has it ever crossed your mind that it's not what is for you? Has it occurred to you that maybe the universe is trying to tell you something, leading you somewhere else? It wasn't easy -- and there was a lot of second guessing on my part but when I chose some paths with the least blockage -- that was when I finally saw happiness and contentment.
5. You are a child of God / The Universe / A Higher Being. There was this story the pastor from my church told us. It was when he saw a pack of Pop Rocks while in the grocery and thought it was his son's favorite candy. He bought it, took it home and when he gave it to his four year old son, his eyes grew big. His son was too elated and asked if he did it because he was a good kid and the pastor said, "No, I'm giving it to you because you're my son." Truth be told, I have forgotten what it felt like to be someone's daughter, and to get something just because {of course I do but I am also a drama queen har har}. The biggest lesson from that story was that sometimes we forget that God is a god who doesn't need a list of good deeds from us before He can give us the things we want. You are His daughter and you will get his grace because you are you.
6. You get what you give back to the world.

Pacific Coast Highway – December 24, 2010
Note: Decided to split post 4 into two posts to get it out sooner; so reason from title change from "of 5" to "of 6".
-Re-Routes & Closed State Parks.
Our plans were to drive up the coast along the Pacific Coast Highway, hit a few beaches, and just enjoy the day hopefully. The plan quickly did not pan out. Just north of Malibu was our first detour getting turned around due to the mudslides. So on the way back to where we could go around we tried going to a state park beach just north of Malibu and were greeted by two park ranges at the gate who simply said
California State Park Rangers: "Why are you here?"
us: "to go to the park"
California State Park Rangers: "I mean are you here for a specific reason?"
Us: "Umm.. to go to the beach".
California State Park Rangers: "do you have an invitation?"
Us: "Huh?"
California State Park Rangers: "There is a private event here today you can't come here."
Us: "Isn't this a State Park?"
California State Park Rangers: "Yes.. but it has been rented and you will have to turn around go somewhere else."
They then didn't even want us to pull forward and have us back out onto the highway.. unfortunately we couldn't as by that time a few Mercedes and a few other cars had lined up behind us so they let us do a 3 point turn to turn around.
This is how our day started.. and quickly turned into a series of up and over mountain passes back to the main highway and every subsequent attempt to get back on the PCH ended up with us getting re-routed in some way or another.
So this license plate we saw heading out from Anaheim should have us warned what the day was going to be like.
We did actually make it to one nice beach (Pismo Beach) on the PCH right before dusk successfully. We were greeted with this sign and that the beach may be closed at any time. By this time we had also lost the nice sun we started the day with had gone.. but we still walked up and down the beach for about an hour.
Around dark it started to rain again and it was Xmas eve and we were starting to get hungry. Unfortunately things were already starting to close so we hit a Safeway and a Big Lots as that was about all that was open.
-So this is what drive for the day looked like.. minus some of the back and forth weaving we did on the route that I lost a bit track of at a certain point. So minimally about 400 miles covered. | http://grilleflame.com/2011/01/20/december-2010-vacation-pacific-coast-highway-to-reno-5-of-6/ | 2018/01/23 06:04:52 | mC4 |

0 | example_52122 | A more confident Ordega is finally finding her rhythm with the Spirit – Equalizer Soccer
BOYDS, Md. — Officially, Washington Spirit forward Franny Ordega has scored 12 times in her NWSL career. Ask her teammate, Estelle Johnson, and she'll tell you the number is much higher. Ordega puts the strike in striker.
"She goes hard every day," Johnson said. "She really does. She slaps us (defenders) in the face every day which we always made fun of her (for). She's so flail-y with her arms but she's such of force; she's strong, she's fast, she can finish. She has great feet as well."
With three goals in as many matches this season, the Nigerian international is now the Spirit's leading scorer. While the fourth-year NWSL player is undoubtedly benefiting from the healthy and improved striking corp she's lining up with this season, that doesn't fully explain her form of late.
"I think what she's done this year is kind of be more consistent for longer periods of the game and not kind of drifted out or had those times where, you know, 'Where's Franny been?' and then all of a sudden she has that one magical moment," Spirit head coach Jim Gabarra said. "She's fit enough and she's athletic enough where she can do it for 90 minutes, but to have that impact for more periods of the game is the reason she's been successful this year."
Don't miss out! Subscribe to The Equalizer Extra now!
When asked about her form and impact on Washington so far this season, Ordega points to her loan to Atletico Madrid in the offseason. It helped her regain confidence and think less about the potential of getting injured.
"Five months I was off," Ordega said. "As a professional, it is not really good, right? So I had to do something better. I went to Madrid and I trained a lot and played in games and now I'm back, and it did build my confidence back and get me stronger."
Gabarra also points to Ordega's newfound comfort level, both with the team and the league. Ordega knows what to expect from her teammates as well as her opponents.
"I think all players could benefit from that experience [of playing overseas]," Gabarra said. "I think it's part that but it's also her being comfortable being here and not being her first year, second year or first year with a coach. I think there's a comfort level that's really helping her out now."
Perhaps there's something to the latter explanation. Traditionally, Ordega has been very reserved publicly. She's often opted for short answers to questions posed to her by media, but this weekend, she opened up in a way that isn't solely explained by her good form of late. This time, the forward's vibrant personality on display in her goal celebrations and her social media accounts shone through in person.
"This is the year I have to do something to show people who I am," Ordega said.
"The real Franny is fun to play with," Ordega later said about herself. "She's strong, she's fast. She's a good dancer. I want to score more so I can be able to dance for my fans."
The Nigerian international certainly isn't resting on her laurels. Despite her goal in the 1-1 draw with Chicago, Ordega was thinking about the opportunity that she missed in the contest.
"I'm feeling good, but I think I can do better," she said. "Like today I got another chance that I missed on and [I could] make my team proud, but I missed it. As a striker, you really need to score goals. One is not enough. Two is not enough. Three is not enough."
That's the kind of attitude that could see Ordega easily top her career high of four goals in a season. NWSL defenders everywhere should take note: Ordega has her celebrations ready. | https://equalizersoccer.com/2018/04/30/a-more-confident-ordega-is-finally-finding-her-rhythm-with-the-spirit/ | 2022/06/28 20:42:24 | mC4 |

Editors posted on 5th March
Ever heard of the phrase The Luck of the Irish? Well it's about to rub off on all us Dilli and Gurgaonwaalas!
LBB and Monkey Bar, and our super fun {and real Irish} friends at Jameson are bringing you lucky Delhi and Gurgaon folk a super mega St Paddy's Day Bash!
We've spent loads of time watching videos and listening to our 'foreign university return' friends about St Patrick's Day, or as it's popularly come to be called, St Patty's Day {for your America return friends anyway}. All out fun and celebratory, it's funny how most of these friends don't even know who St Patrick was!
If you came to the LBB and Monkey Bar Halloween Bash, you know we take our festivities rather seriously. Given that the Jameson crew is joining hands with us… this party plan just got a whole lot more serious!
We'd recommend you do your research though, for your own knowledge, and because the Irish gentlemen at Jameson are bringing in buskers to perform, {what's a busker you ask? Aha!}. Join us for some super fun games, and needless to say, loads of delicious Irish Whiskey. Think you can do a mean Irish accent? Take a few days to practice… you'll see why! May we also recommend you work on your hand-eye coordination, given that we're giving you a chance to try your hand at the Pot of Gold Toss. Hang out with the Jameson crew as they indulge in some super-sized Jenga, and ply you with presents for every time you're awesome {well, almost every time anyway} - quite the balancing act, if we do say so ourselves! Also throwing some gold into the mix is Sugarama, with a range of flavoured chocolates fit for a leprechaun's pot.
Who doesn't love a great photo op… we're giving you a bunch of those to play with. So block the date, dig out your favourite green outfit, and we'll see you there! If your wardrobe doesn't boast of anything green, note that the LBB crew is hosting a super fun pop- up store at the venue, with all things green, courtesy our friends at Party in a Box. | https://lbb.in/delhi/a-whale-of-a-time-lbb-and-monkey-bars-st-patricks-day-bash/ | 2018/05/25 03:31:14 | mC4 |

Emily Dickinson 's Poetry Of Poetry Essay examples
1035 Words Jan 30th, 2016 5 Pages
Emily Dickinson was a poet from the 1850s. Many people tried to urge Dickinson to publish, but she then had to start worrying about her punctuation in her works. Her works held great power and they reached maturity quite quickly. Emily Dickinson made many great works that many poets reference still today. Born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. Emily Dickinson died on May 15, 1886 and Lavinia, her sister, later discovered her sisters poems ("Dickinson, Emily"). Emily's poems carry strength and authentic intellectual difficulties when they are read. She set herself free to invest her imaginative exuberance elsewhere. Of her works 1775 poems and fragments several hundred are authentic, strong works with scores achieving an absolute aesthetic dignity. Her works of poetry reach maturity almost immediately. Her poetry has produced a great deal of valuable and provocative criticism. The most striking thing about Dickinson's works is that it is not directed outward. She begins four years of primary school (Emily Dickinson). Emily visits her father in Washington, D.C. and meets Charles Wadsworth, her family then moves into the Homestead. Amherst College student newspaper anonymously publishes one of Dickinson valentine. Helen Hunt Jackson urges Dickinson to start publishing. Dickinson's father dies suddenly in Boston, and her mother suffers a paralytic stroke but does not end up dying.

Indian actor Akshay Kumar is to star in The End (w/t) for Amazon. The series marks the actor's digital streaming debut – Kumar is one of the most prolific Indian actors with over 100 films including Housefull and Khiladi star.
The action thriller is produced by Abundantia Entertainment, the company behind Amazon crime original Breathe.
The series was unveiled in India by Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, who met the fiery star on stage, alongside James Farrell, Head of International Originals, Amazon Prime Video and Vijay Subramaniam, Director & Head – Content, Amazon Prime India.
This comes after Amazon revealed six new Indian originals last month at TCA. The SVOD is making romantic musical Bandish Bandits, crime thriller The Last Hour, created by Monsoon Shootout's Amit Kumar and exec produced by Amy director Asif Kapadia, an investigative thriller from Sudip Sharma and a youth-focused political drama from Ali Abbas Zafa. In non-scripted, it is also launching Tamil stand up format Comicstaan and a comedy talk-show hybrid where celebrities try their hand at stand-up comedy for the first time hosted by Sapan Verma.
Salke said, "The scale at which The End is being conceived is enormous and speaks of our passion for creating breakout programming across genres. The storyline and the action sequences have been brilliantly crafted to give viewers a thrilling experience. Our goal is to make Amazon Prime Video the powerhouse of talent, in front as well as behind the camera, and we are thrilled to have Akshay Kumar and Abundantia Entertainment anchoring the show for us. We will continue to bring distinctive, fresh and high-quality content to our audiences and we believe, our Prime members across the world are going to absolutely love the show."
Kumar said he's always tried to be part of "disruptive and high-quality story-telling" but that it was his son Aarav who suggested the move to streaming "as that's what the youth is hooked onto". He added, "Together, Abundantia and I have created some of my most memorable roles in films like Baby, AirliftandToilet-Ek Prem Katha and their passion towards their films and projects is incredible. From the very concept of the show, I am working very closely with Vikram and his team as they create this compelling and highly intriguing story. I can't wait to start rolling for this action-adventure series that will be Amazon Original for global audiences."
Subramaniam added, "We are excited to bring Akshay Kumar to Amazon Prime Video, closer to millions of his global fans, to recreate his magic and offer something spectacular". | https://deadline.com/print-article/1202569566/?KeepThis=1&TB_iframe=1&height=500&width=750 | 2021/12/05 15:18:57 | mC4 |

I love to use the double-sided crafting papers. I am using Graphic45 papers, one of my favorites, in this demonstration. The colors are already coordinated and easy for me to use in creating my handmade greeting cards. Since these usually cost a bit more than single-sided papers, I really try to use every piece. Here is a clever way to use the scraps~~make your own patterned papers! It is not complicated, and you will love the results. I need to thank my friend, Sharon, for showing me this technique!
It is really easy, and I hope I don't make it sound too complicated as I try to explain it. Hopefully, the pictures will help you see what I am trying to tell you. So, here goes!
A piece of cardboard cut into a strip about 1/8″ wide and aproximately 8″ long will be your 'spacing tool' for this project.
Cut strips of your scrap papers. I cut these into strips about 1/2′ wide.
Select coordinating papers
Put adhesive next to spacing tool
Adhere paper strip, trim edges
Take a piece of cardstock to use as the base for your project. Make sure it is a color that will match your scrap strips. Since I am making cards, my base is 5′ x 4′. Take your pre-made 'spacing tool' and place it diagonally across your base paper, matching the corners.
Put adhesive next to the spacing tool and place one strip of paper on base. Trim edges of paper strip. (Keep the shorter strips, as you can use those at the corners.)
Move spacing tool, continue pattern, reversing sides of paper strips
Complete pattern on bottom of base
Trim edges, if needed, to complete base of card
Move spacing tool to the other side of the strip you just attached, apply adhesive and another strip of paper. (Make sure the patterns are all going in the same direction.) Trim edges and continue until card is covered with the scrap paper strips.
Turn base paper over and trim edges. Now you have a custom made patterned paper base to use as you wish!
I added ribbon, then attached it to my card!
I used more strips on the inside!
Here is the finished card, along with another one I used with different paper scraps.
I added some baker's twine to this card
If you use this method for double sided papers, you can flip each strip for a more coordinated look. Of course, you can also use this technique for one sided paper scraps. Changing the widths of the strips and the spacing between them will be another way to create interesting and different patterns! You can even just apply the strips to half of your card, or just at the edges. Horizontal and vertical strips will also make a great base. Making a smaller base will help you use up smaller scraps of papers. The possibilities are endless!
I hope you enjoyed learning about this technique! I would love to hear and see what you have created using this method! We are always sharing new ideas in our creative world!
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog! I hope you enjoy your day! ~~~Vickie

0 | example_85749 | COLCHESTER may be down, but they proved they are not out with a gutsy display to blow a hole in neighbours Ipswich's play-off dreams.
Scott Vernon scored twice as United achieved their first win in ten games - and only their second clean sheet of the season.
Man-of-the-match Kevin Lisbie set up both goals and Colchester face a fight to hang on to the striker who is being linked with Crystal Palace.
Defeat was a bitter blow to Ipswich boss Jim Magilton, who admitted they now face a massive task to make the play-offs.
He said: "We've got two home games in the next week and it's vital we win both. In fact, we may need to win all five of our remaining matches to have any chance of the play-offs.
"We were guilty of poor defending and the goals we conceded were shocking." Vernon, getting a rare start, described the goals as the most important he has scored. But they have come too late to keep Colchester in the Championship..
He said: "Lisbie has been magnificent all season and Vernon is the best finisher at the club. We have a nucleus to build on and I want to keep them.
"The fans have not had too much to cheer this season so this win was for them. Everyone has gone home happy." Vernon got his first goal in the 28th minute with a clinical finish after Lisbie brought down a long ball to set him up.
Colchester keeper Dean Gerken produced a superb save from sub Jordan Rhodes, while the lively Danny Haynes had a goal disallowed for off-side.
Saturday Night Takeaway bosses reveal sneak peek at first script without Ant McPartlin as Dec Donnelly's name appears alone - Mirror Online
Saturday Night Takeaway bosses reveal sneak peek at first script without Ant McPartlin as Dec Donnelly's name appears alone
Saturday Night Takeaway bosses have made the bold move to reveal a sneak peak at tonight's Saturday Night Takeaway script.
A picture of the show's script was posted on Twitter to remind viewers that Dec Donnelly will be presenting alone for the very first time.
Dec, 42, will host Takeaway solo as sidekick Ant receives treatment in rehab following his drink-drive arrest.
The top banner reveals that the show has not been renamed to signify the change and Ant's name is still prevalent on the page.
However, one massive change is that the name Declan Donnelly appears alone under "hosted by" on tonight's script.
Dec 'to open Saturday Night Takeaway with emotional plea to Ant' as he appears on live TV without pal for the first time in 20 years
The tweet read: "Just a little photo to prove that we don’t just wing it, there is actually a script!"
There were no further clues as to whether Dec will apologise for Ant's absence or ignore the incident altogether.
Dec is believed to want to directly address the "elephant in the room" as Saturday Night Takeaway returns without Ant, who is receiving treatment in rehab
He will reportedly open tonight's show by telling his pal he is missed by millions, who all want him to get well soon, the Express reports.
Dec will be introduced on his own by Star Guest Announcer Stephen Merchant after Paloma Faith performs her new single.
The Ant vs Dec segment has been scrapped with bosses ruling out Stephen Mulhern or Scarlett Moffatt stepping in for the show's usual feature, but Win The Ads will still be aired with Dec presenting the segment alone.
He will be joined by Scarlett and Stephen for the Happiest Minute Of The Week, where they will give out tickets to Florida to lucky viewers.
Replying to the tweet revealing a first look at the script, Saturday Night Takeaway viewers took to Twitter to wish Dec luck before his big night.
One fan said: "Good luck dec. you can do this. i believe in you. sending all my love and support for tonight"
Another well-wisher added: "Good luck Dec and the team, you’ll smash it! Ant, we will miss you, get well soon and come back stronger
A third said: "Dec. The whole of Britain is behind you mate. Go out and do what you do best and that's make people laugh. #GoOnDec" | OSCAR-2019 |

4 | example_76193 | OMERS sees buyers market in 2012 | Business | Reuters
January 13, 2012 / 6:48 PM / in 6 years
TORONTO (Reuters) - When Michael Nobrega talks about the cash crunch facing governments around the world this year, he sees big potential where others see financial crisis.
As chief executive of the C$54 billion ($53 billion) Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, or OMERS, Nobrega sees a golden opportunity as cash-strapped jurisdictions in Europe and the United States struggle to fund projects.
"We tend to strive a great deal when the markets are down because the opportunities are greater," Nobrega said in year-end interview.
But even as he talks of "three or four" mid-sized deals OMERS is mulling in Europe, he admits he frets about the monthly liabilities the fund faces as its 400,000 members retire.
Keeping the fund growing while members draw out pensions has pushed OMERS to explore funding ignored by Canadian peers such as the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, boosting voluntary contributions and selling investment expertise to smaller funds.
It's a strategy that Nobrega hopes will allow OMERS to punch above its weight, but one that experts also say may detract from the fund's primary focus.
"Trying to manage third-party money is really a recognition that their fund size is tapering off," said John Ilkiw, a pension expert with Paros Consulting and a former senior vice-president at the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
"That's a risky strategy in my view - that's not to say it can't work, but you're trying to be all things to all people."
But Nobrega, a partner at an international accounting firm before launching OMERS' Borealis Infrastructure group in 1998, believes the strategy is critical to his goal of expanding OMERS to about C$90 billion five years from now, even as he contemplates his own departure in the next two or three years.
GOING AFTER THE DEALS
OMERS is no stranger to foreign dealmaking. In 2011, it bought V. Group, a Scottish shipping services company for $520 million and partnered with Berkshire Partners to buy Husky International, a Canadian injection molding company, for C$2.1 billion, just to name two.
With huge internal teams focusing on real estate or infrastructure deals, OMERS researches a steady stream of potential investments. It may prefer friendly takeovers but will play hard for the right asset when the price is right.
"Some of these deals we may research for a year and a half before we attack," Nobrega said.
The 2008 Teranet deal is a case in point. OMERS had considered buying Ontario's monopoly provider of electronic land registration services for 2-1/2 years before bidding. Rebuffed, Nobrega refused to walk away, and ultimately Teranet shareholders accepted a C$1.6 billion offer.
In the near term, OMERS is looking for deals in the western Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, where resource wealth is fueling growth and demand for roads and hospitals. In Western Europe, where the sovereign debt crisis may keep local players sidelined, there will also be opportunities.
"Having troops on the ground that we have now gives us a real advantage in that area - in the mid-sized deals in private equity," he said, noting that OMERS staff in London speaks seven languages, the better to win bids across the EU zone.
But Nobrega pledges to be selective.
"We don't win more than maybe 35 percent of our cases because if you win everything you're probably paying extreme retail," he said. | https://ca.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idCATRE80C1WT20120113 | 2017/12/14 15:31:20 | mC4 |

Abortion Mill in Mississippi!
Every state in the USA has at least one abortion mill.
But that may be about to change, thanks to the action you take in response to this email.
The last remaining abortion mill in Mississippi is in violation of state law and the state is about to act.
Please help us to encourage the State Health Officer to act quickly to protect women and children in Mississippi from the violence of abortion by closing that last remaining mill.
Please do this by placing one, brief, friendly phone call.
The case of this Jackson, MS abortion mill is in the hands of State Health Officer. We simply want to encourage her to take swift action to close the Jackson Women's Health Organization.
It looks like things are moving in the right direction, so remember, this is a friendly call of encouragement.
And please invite all on your email list to likewise make this phone call, so that the officials in MS know they have the support of our movement throughout the nation!
Friends, the state has already given the abortion mill an extension of time to live up to the law that says their abortionists have to have hospital admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. This is a commonsense law directed at the health of the women this "health organization" claims to serve.
But the abortion mill has still failed to do so, and has been in violation of the law for nearly a year. Now the State Health Officer will call a hearing and make a decision about whether the mill will stay open.
Abortionists should not be above the law, or be given a pass when they fail to live up to the same standards that other medical practices follow. | http://priestsforlife.org/alert/index1.aspx?id=31 | 2018/04/19 19:35:35 | mC4 |

We love robot vacuums at Reviewed and so do our readers. In fact, one of the things our readers continue to buy over and over and over and over is robot vacuums. The Eufy RoboVac 11s is the best affordable robot vacuum we’ve ever tested and would make a great gift for anyone, whether they enjoy cleaning or not.

Battle of Britain's oldest survivor dies aged 99 Flight Lieutenant William Walker, who was the oldest surviving Battle of Britain pilot, died on Sunday...
14:12 24 October 2012
Battle of the Britain hero Flight Lieutenant William Walker died on Sunday, after suffering a stroke on Thursday, according to the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust. The oldest surviving Battle of Britain pilot was 99-years-old.
Just like any other veteran, Mr. Walker is believed to have had a very colorful life. Born on August 24th, 1913, it is understood that he joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve in 1938.
On August 26th, Walker's plane was hit by a German bomber force and he was shot in his right ankle. According to reports, he clung to a shipwreck before being rescued by a fishing boat.
In later life, the pilot seemingly enjoyed telling the story of how the surgeon took the armour-piercing bullet from his ankle and it shot out and hit the ceiling. The pilot kept the bullet as a souvenir.
Richard Hunting CBE, Chairman of the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, told The Sun: "Flight Lieutenant William Walker was a warm, engaging and friendly man who always had a twinkle in his eye.
"He was much loved by his fellow veterans, his family and friends and all of us at the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust."
He added: "He knew how important it was that we continue to tell the story of what he and the rest of the Few did in 1940." | http://www.supanet.com/battle-of-britain-s-oldest-survivor-dies-aged-99-a8692.html | 2013/05/22 16:11:24 | mC4 |

How to connect my skimmer correctly
I bought a second hand reef octopus skimmer DNW-150.
I would like to know how to connect this up to my system so that i can plan the plumbing etc.
I will plan to provide water to the skimmer from the tanks overflow and them pump to my sump.
I have no idea where what goes (and forgot to ask properly when i collected it ).
Here is a pic of the said skimmer.
don't use the overflow to feed it, get a 1000l/h feed pump and rather feed it with that from the sump
isn the point of an overflow to skim the surface
that water will get skimmed if you place the feed pump in the 1ste chamber...imo surface skimming and skimming is the same to me, water will eventually pass true the skimmer
thanks for the input lanzo.
so what is "in" on the skimmer and what is "out"? i am not sure what goes where on it.
If i connect it as you suggest, is this the sequence of flow:
1. water from the tank goes into chamber 1 of the sump.
2. from chamber 1 of the sump, water is fed to the skimmer
3. from the skimmer, the water goes to chamber 2 (DSB) of the sump
4. DSB flows into chamber 3 of the sump
5. Chamber 3 feeds the water back up to the display tank
yip you got it( skimmer water can return in first chamber too, but 2nd will be better)
do you see the little pipe sticking out on the left just above the one pump...that is the inlet, the outlet is the pipe on the right with the ball valve, water will exit in the middle of that pipe and not the top
thanks. I thought most guys supplied the skimmer straight from the overflow. Will hook it up as described. Have to get another pump though.
With the water returning to the DSB from the skimmer, is that not gonna stir up the sand and what about bubbles in the water??
I would run the overflow directly into the skimmer. You can just control the flow with a ball valve.
Good Idea, but does not work, too much fluctuation in water level, and you battle to set the skimmer properly.
hmmmm u guys are giving me ideas now to do the same...what would you say in the long run better to supply from sump?? or overflow??
does that mean supply from the sump?? lol
My concern with the return from the skimmer going directly to the DSB. Are bubbles not entering this chamber and secondly the water would stir the sand in the DSB??
what you could do is get a plastic bag and tie it to the return from the skimmer with a cable tie, or many. then get a razor and slice a few slits in the bag below the water level, then make a few smaller slits in the top of the bag so the air can escape. problem solved. also helps to reduce noise and salt creep
so essentially in this method a reef tnak wouldnt need an overflow...hence no drilling or conversions
I have my DNW-200 running exactly like this without any problems and it runs externally, so i have more space for DSB
exactly like this meaning plumbed directly from overflow
I think you still need the overflow . You pumping from the sump to the skimmer. Without an overflow (hang-on box or in-tank chamber) how would the water get from the tank to the sump? A pump in the display tank to the sump? | https://www.marineaquariumsa.com/threads/how-to-connect-my-skimmer-correctly.6963/ | 2019/06/16 09:09:49 | mC4 |

2 | example_88003 | Home > Products > Wireless light switches halve installation cost
The UK manufactured switches from Kozee provide a simple and quick to install solution for controlling the lighting in a single room, but have the connectivity required to be a stepping stone to home automation with Alexa and Google Home.
Kozee is offering the switches to installers through Tesla UK and Tech 4 Homes as a basic switch-transmitter pair. The installer simply connects the receiver to the ceiling rose and sticks the switch in a convenient location to complete the installation – no further set up is required. There is no need to damage the surface finish of the wall by gouging out cable routes.
Kozee switches can be placed wherever they are needed – on the wall, on furniture or on a table, and moved at will to a new location. They can control individual luminaires, groups of luminaires, or all luminaires in a network or scene. The WiFi version of the receiver can be paired with an Alexa or Google Home control device if desired. It is supported by a free Kozee App allowing customers to turn their lights on and off from anywhere they have an Internet connection.
Ian Brown, Sales and Marketing Director of Kozee, explained: "The guiding principle for our design was that Kozee switches should be simple enough for my mother to use – a vision that we have fully achieved. At the same time, we recognised the needs of advanced users and the WiFi version can be integrated with popular smart home technologies.
"Kozee switches are a win-win for installers and home owners alike. Installers adopting Kozee achieve a substantial competitive advantage over those staying with wired switch technology. They will deliver a much neater and quicker job, potentially combining lower cost to the customer with higher margins due to the rapid install. Home owners are offered flexibility, controllability and most of all they aren't faced with redecorating the room following the installation or the need to worry about replacing batteries."
Kozee wireless, battery free light switches are an ideal, neat and cost-effective solution for retro-fit and new build installations alike. They are supplied paired with a receiver which a qualified electrician can wire discreetly into any household LED light system. It is offered in a Bluetooth only (BT-KT07) or a Bluetooth and WiFi version (BT-KT08). Bluetooth alone is sufficient where customers only require light switching control.
Using Bluetooth and WiFi together allows the switch to communicate with Alexa and Google and also provides customers with access to their lighting when away from the home. The WiFi version of the receiver also acts as a hub for the entire Kozee Smart Home range providing safety monitoring and control of the home environment. The switch can be moved by the home owner at any time, without any safety risk.
Kozee switches are based on EnOcean energy harvesting technology. The action of pressing the switch creates sufficient energy for a control pulse to be sent via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to the paired receiver, actuating the lights. The PIR and multi-sensor are powered by the ambient light in the environment, but can operate autonomously without light for up to four days.
The water sensor is the only Kozee product that is powered by a battery allowing it to be installed in locations with little or no available light. The battery on this sensor has a long life of approximately three years. | https://www.electronicspecifier.com/products/optoelectronics/wireless-light-switches-halve-installation-cost | 2021/08/04 19:22:52 | mC4 |

Having an apartment move-in ready in time is a team effort
I'm a maintenance professional and I enjoy moving in residents who appreciate our efforts to provide a quality apartment home. Recently I have been transferred to a property where several rent increases have resulted in higher turnover of existing residents after long tenancies. This means a high volume of market-ready turns along with more work required hat results in pressure for faster move ins.
Since there are only two of us, I'm losing confidence we are moving in satisfied residents. I'm told there are surprises on leasing tours. I understand that the leasing team often talk them through these awkward moments with statements like- "No problem, this apartment will be perfect when you move in". Well, that is just not turning out to be true; more and more. Any advise to keep my enthusiasm for being a maintenance professional?
This is not an uncommon spiral that plagues apartment communities from time to time. The physical condition of the apartment when toured is a compelling part of the leasing process. It says so much about resident expectations, management policies and the quality of maintenance routines and repairs. It also is a statement of whether you and your company deliver housing value at a competitive price. Delivering what is promised and/or expected at move-in is imperative. Unrealized value by a resident at this "point of sale" will stick with them through the entire lease. It will bubble up in a variety of circumstances when you expect certain things from them including: paying rent on time, reporting service requests before major damage to the property, giving and responding to notices in a timely fashion. The point is this, right now residents are being allowed to move-in with a belief that the team is saying one thing and delivering less. If this situation continues it creates a mindset that anything goes on their end.
This becomes a critical issue for discussion in team meetings. From discussing an action plan should be reduced to writing with assignments employing the entire team to correct these conditions.
There needs to be a target list of move-in ready apartments. This is the list to show and requires the attention and priority of the entire team to maintain the condition of apartments on this list. Leasing members should be walking these daily as part of opening routines. Each will take responsibility to get it ready or take it off target list. Any home taken off target list for any reason needs a planned replacement.
A target list is only maintained if on-site maintenance team members cannot keep up with the upcoming availability. Remember, this is a team solution:
a) cooperation of leasing
b) prioritization by management
c) temporary use of external maintenance
from other company properties or outside vendors.
There must be a community team standard for market-ready. Your weekly team meeting should periodically be conducted inside a vacant apartment home. Everyone should be asked to closely walk the apartment with specific questions in mind like: Would I rent this apartment for the quoted rent? If not, why not? This exercise with your team over a brief period will create a team expectation of value.
To consistently deliver this value to every new prospective resident on tour and every move-in also requires the entire team. This is done with a ready checklist that is posted in each vacant apartment and initialed by everyone that touches the turn. An apartment is ready when the documentation, including a final walk, says it's ready. Finally, upon move-in a team member does a personal walk-through with the resident. If there is an item needing correction a written service request is processed with urgency. The same standards and procedures can be developed for the common areas including common area checklists that get the entire team identifying and delivering community value.

0 | example_43532 | 24 Bible verses about God's Knowledge Of People (LEB)
From heaven Yahweh looks; he sees all the children of humankind. From his dwelling place he gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions altogether their heart, he who understands all their works.
You know my sitting down and my rising up. You understand my thought from afar. You search out my wandering and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
And you, do not consider what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious. For all the nations of the world seek after these [things], and your Father knows that you need these [things].
If we had forgotten the name of our God, or had spread out our hands [in prayer] to a foreign god, would not God discover this, for he knows [the] secrets of [the] heart?
Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, "my Lord, will you even kill a righteous people?" Did not he himself say to me, 'She [is] my sister'? And she herself said, 'He [is] my brother.' With integrity of my heart and with cleanness of my hands I did this." Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also {kept you from sinning} against me. Therefore, I did not allow you to touch her. So now, return the wife of the man, for he [is] a prophet, so that he will pray for you and you will live. And {if you do not return her}, know that you will certainly die, and all that [are] yours."
So Samuel did what Yahweh said. He came to Bethlehem, and the elders of the city came trembling to meet him. They said, "{Have you come in peace}?" He said, "[I come in] peace. I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." So he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. {When they came}, he saw Eliab and said, "Surely his anointed one [is] before Yahweh!" But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For [God does] not [see] what man sees, for a man {looks on the outward appearance}, but Yahweh {looks on the heart}." Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel, and he said, "This one also Yahweh has not chosen." So Jesse made Shammah pass [before Samuel], but he said, "Yahweh also has not chosen this one." And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, "Yahweh has not chosen any of these." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "{Are all the young men here}?" And he said, "The youngest still remains, but look, he [is] shepherding the flock." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him, for we cannot {sit down} until he comes here." So he sent and brought him. Now he [was] ruddy with beautiful eyes and of {handsome} appearance. And Yahweh said, "Arise, anoint him, for this [is] he." | https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/God~s-Knowledge-Of-People/type/leb | 2019/10/14 08:04:42 | mC4 |
5 | example_95341 | Investment outlook 2020: Central banks - J.P. Morgan Asset Management
While geopolitical risk has weighed on growth and corporate earnings, central bank activism has helped push risk asset prices higher.
Indeed, the central banks have recast themselves from the investor's foe to the investor's friend. In past expansions, the central banks tended to be the recovery-slaying baddies – the players responsible for killing off economic exuberance, and, in turn, expansions (see below). But it's hard to blame the central banks for the recent slowing in activity. Real policy rates remain deeply negative.
The central banks do not believe they are out of ammunition. They have new innovations up their sleeve. Quantitative easing has now been accepted as a 'normal' tool. Ambitions to return assets to the public markets seem to have been abandoned and central banks have accepted permanently larger balance sheets. Indeed, some are happy to take an increasing share of risk markets. With such large holdings of government and corporate bonds, the Bank of Japan is increasingly focusing its balance sheet expansion on the purchase of corporate equity (see below). | https://am.jpmorgan.com/gb/en/asset-management/gim/adv/insights/investment-outlook/dont-fight-the-central-banks | 2021/01/22 13:48:16 | mC4 |

opening my heart center...
this is what came out of me through the first lesson of Total Alignment
I was out visiting some of the wonderful blogs I follow and stopped by Natasha May Art World.
Natasha May is a super cute, artsy girl from Slovenia.
She had posted about these videos she was watching and what she created
so I just had to follow the link.
The videos are Connie Hozvicka's TOTALLY FREE & AWESOME online Workshop
she calls Total Alignment.
Connie is also the creator of FEARLESS (tm) Painting.
I do not want to tell you much about the workshop,
Connie explains everything much better.
What I will say is that this workshop is NOT about the art!
It is NOT about planning what to create!
There is no lesson on how to draw, or shade.
This workshop is about unblocking & opening up to the Creative Force within.
It's about letting the painting talk to you.
Check out Total Alignment HERE.
THis painting just totally rocks Robin!!
Thank you for your very kind words as well.
Sending you buckets of LOVE!
Oh wow--I've watched Connie's videos, and I love how she stresses not to worry about the actual outcome of the painting, but this is awesome what you did hear--you were happy and it came out in your art!
Connie YOU Rock!!!! This is an absolutely amazing process and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Hi Diane, at first it was a little difficult not thinking about the outcome, and actually every time I thought I was done, I had to do more. By the end of the painting I was most certainly a very happy girl! In my original thought, before putting paint down, I was going to do a painting in turquoise and pink and somehow have a girl's face with a big heart showing through her chest....nice thought, creativity had a different plan and I am so glad! Tomorrow I will post on the Invitation #2.
I totally love this painting! I really do!! You know, I was told along time ago, when I started painting, to paint what comes from within you. What makes you happy. Just go for it and that's what I do.
Thank you my Crow friend! I am enjoying this. The one thing Connie stresses is to create and let go! And it does make me very happy. If that is how you create your amazing artworks, then I KNOW it must work!!!!
Hugs Rasz ;o) That's really sweet of you!
Your painting is so free and full of motion I want to just twirl as I view it. Great job! Thanks for sharing - I'm heading over to check out the videos.
Hi Sandra! Let me know what you think about the videos!
Very Awesome Piece!!! So glad you stopped by my place!
I LOVE HER! I am a follower of hers on Flickr. I plan to follow along with the Total Alignment Videos. I'll be blogging about it and of course sharing with you. | https://raszart.blogspot.com/2011/08/opening-my-heart-center.html | 2018/07/23 00:16:59 | mC4 |

0 | example_5086 | The hostel was good but it would have been better if the lockers had been in the rooms. The common area was nice.
Dragon Hostel Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
This place wasn't much like a hostel. It had no common area and so it didn't have that normal communal social hostel atmosphere. Also, without any lockers, it made the security an issue. The corridor smelled of cigarette smoke too. OK for one night but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay, especially if you are travelling alone.
we have common room, and safety lockers are available for free use. only one night stay and arriving 9pm, you might not have time to ask for the services or looked around our hostel areas.
Ananas Samui Hostel, Koh Samui, Thailand
Amazing hostel - the cleanest, most modern, best value for money that I stayed in in Thailand. For the price you get free breakfast, air con....and a pool!!! The only slight downside is the location...BUT....it's easy enough to get around the island by hitchhiking or you can rent a motorbike. Definitely stay here!
Spicytao Backpackers, Koh Tao, Thailand
This hostel was wicked social with great common areas. i loved the hammocks and deck with lots of pillows. But...the rooms were tiny, there were no locks for the dorms (in fact our dorm's door didn't even close) and it wasn't very clean. Also, if you don't like cats, I wouldn't stay here. The cats would sleep in your beds during the day and at night (and I am not a cat person).
New Road Guest House, Bangkok, Thailand
NRGH was an amazing hostel for the price. The different chill out areas were great and the staff were really friendly. The food in the cafe was great for when you're too lazy to go out (but there are tons of good, cheap places to eat nearby). Highly recommended!
KEX Hostel, Reykjavik, Iceland
Kex is the coolest hostel I've ever stayed in. There was a really great vibe. It was super clean and all....BUT....it was a bit expensive for a hostel. And yeah, I know, that's Iceland but still a little cheaper would have been nice. The staff were great - good recommendations and willing to book tours / airport transfers for you. Highly recommended!
Ok as a hostel. But....not conducive to a good night's sleep. It was very noisy (both from the bar next door and a loud stag party)

MARGARET CATHERINE DOWNEY 1917 2021
Obituary of MARGARET CATHERINE DOWNEY
Died on July 19, 2021 at West Park Manor Personal Care Home, Winnipeg, MB.
Margaret leaves to cherish her memory her four children Margaretmary (Robert) Puchniak, Patrick (Susan) Downey, Jack (Marj) Downey and Jane (Tom) Siklos; sixteen (16) precious grandchildren and thirty (30) much-loved great-grandchildren.
Margaret was born in Ceylon, SK on February 19th 1917 to Harry and Beatrice O'Connor. She graduated from Normal School in 1938 and began teaching in a one-room schoolhouse, Carnbrogie School in Ceylon. She moved to Toronto, ON during the Second World War and worked in a munitions factory. When the war was over and following his service in the Royal Canadian Navy, she married Joseph Patrick Downey at Sacred Heart Church in Regina, SK on April 27th, 1946 and they moved to Saskatoon, SK where their four children were born.
Margaret was a voracious reader, political junkie, devoted friend, fabulous cook, avid bridge player and a dedicated Roman Catholic. She was a lifetime member of the Catholic Women's League of Canada and worked with the organization in Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Regina. She loved to hear and treasured individual life stories, she also loved a good argument over politics or religion. She was the family archivist. Her family was everything to her and she lovingly (and successfully) cultivated that devotion to family in her brood.
Margaret was predeceased by her parents, three (3) brothers, and husband, Joseph, and great-grandson Oliver Puchniak.
The family extends thanks to the staff on the second floor East Wing of West Park Manor for the care of Margaret during the last 3 years and 4 months of her life. In her last week, in particular, her caregivers were compassionate and loving to both Margaret and her family. Private funeral arrangements.
the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again,

A few interesting topics were discussed and shared in friendly manners and respect. A key word surfaced during the retreat was ‘openness’ in faith journeys. Being a human person is a blessing as everyone is made in the image of God [Gen 1:26]. Every human person is searching for meaning in life either through the Christian teaching or in their own way. An openness and believing yourself as a person of good will is a good start of living a meaningful life.
Being on a retreat is always good. It stops and makes one think of who they are and how life has been. It was an enjoyable time for the staff who attended the retreat. The retreat was concluded with a reenactment of the Last Supper and a Eucharist led by Fr. Martin.

0 | example_79927 | Reverie: Virtually strong but realistically gone… – echochamber.online
Virtual reality drama 'Reverie' , which ran over the summer, has been shown the door by NBC...
by admin 7th November 2018
News came this week that NBC's summertime drama, Reverie had gone to that great Matrix in the sky, cancelled without a second season.
Reverie's main problem was that after it's one-line pitch of 'Ex-cop helps people stuck in virtual reality simulations', the potential was there to take it in any number of interesting directions – and the show did just that… and it really couldn't pick on one to settle on or explore deeper. Was it a darker-edged Fantasy Island / Quantum Leap in which the patient of the week must be helped to find closure or inspiration, to put something right in their psyche that once went wrong and so return to real life? Was it a show where the government was standing by to use the technology for at-best dubious and at worst wholly-nefarious purposes? Was it a study of the pros and cons of technology itself and how we control it or it controls us? All these matters were ripe for exploring and were in some ways addressed over the show's initial ten-episode season but often in a way that paid some lip-service to the problem and then lost some momentum as it got distracted elsewhere.
Sarah Shahi made her name in shows such as the under-appreciated Life and the often excellent later seasons of Person of Interest and she certainly brought some depth to Mara Kint, though often the script gives her a reactionary role to events that mainly require a lot of talking. That's no bad thing for a character who is a trained negotiator but many of the stories only required basic use of such skills and often 2/3 of the episode are about Mara working out new strategies to talk a client out of the VR system after initial attempts fail. Those efforts are sometimes more interesting than others. Mara's back-story was interesting in the way that one bad judgement call and tragedy – her brother-in-law, Ray, killed his family – changes her life and how, by the finale itself, she learned to move past it and make peace.
Dennis Haysbert continued to add to a list of frowning but benevolent senior-management types, and his 'Charlie Ventana' made sure Kate was in safe hands in all states. but Sendhil Ramamurthy always seemed underwritten as Paul Hammond, the morally-reliable programmer and never-quite-love-interest (though at least he didn't have a Magnumesque moustache like Kate's actual beau Chris played by Sam Jaegar)
Cold Case's Kathyrn Morris was set up as the 'can-she-be-trusted' government contact Monica Shaw but ended up as a character who floated in and out of the story-arcs only really making her presence felt in the Black Mandala episode about military black-ops. Jon Fletcher's duplicitous co-Reverie programmer Oliver Hill asked some pertinent questions about the real dangers of the system he helped create but the show eventually tipped him from clearly-troubled-but-maybe-not-totally-wrong into one-dimensional diabolical bomber mode.
The show's final episode of the run exemplified the scattershot elements. Any one of the main strands: brother-in-law Ray's final fate and Oliver's machinations, the problems with intuitive virtual reality could have had their own climactic episode but instead all three aspects are thrown together alongside the realisation that the show hasn't really paid much attention to Jessica Lu's Alexis and crams in details of the events that led her to work on Reverie. Instead of being satisfying, each arc got a 'Oh, that was solved pretty quickly – on to the next item on the agenda' feeling as the story moves on with the feeling or a relay race rather than a marathon.
An interesting show that might well have got a firmer footing and more assured direction with a second run, Reverie was a victim of its Summer scheduling and the trend to give a show a limited chance to gain traction. It was certainly not the best of the crop and the ratings were never stellar, but it's a shame a second year never became a reality. | https://echochamber.online/2018/11/07/reverie-virtually-strong-but-realistically-gone/ | 2022/05/20 13:51:56 | mC4 |

A "green energy" revolution?
04/02/2016 08:34pm EDT | Updated April 4, 2016
A protester marches on K Street in Washington, D.C. on April 2, 2016, after smoking marijuana in front of the White House.
WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of people who support marijuana legalization got high in front of the White House on Saturday in a demonstration aimed at getting cannabis removed from the federal government's most serious category of illegal drugs.
At around 4:20 p.m. Eastern time, which was chosen because of the number 420's association with weed, the protesters lit their joints, fired up their bowls and pulled on their vaporizers in unison with little disruption from the Secret Service or the local police. They even inflated a 51-foot plastic inflatable joint with the message "Obama, deschedule cannabis now" that was made by artists especially for the occasion.
Smoking in public remains illegal in the district, despite a November 2014 vote to legalize it. It is illegal on federal land, including Lafayette Square Park and the pedestrian street in front of it, under any circumstances. Eidinger had expected arrests to be made -- even publicly expressing his readiness to be arrested for the cause.
"As a Bernie supporter, I do want to see a united Democratic Party, but you gotta give us something -- this is like in the top three or four issues of Bernie supporters," Eidinger said, before excusing himself momentarily for a gulp of water.
Other activists described their involvement in down-ballot races. Zack Pesavento, 29, a veteran of the D.C. legalization campaign, is president of 420 USA Super PAC, a Super PAC dedicated to electing pro-legalization members of Congress. The group has plans to help unseat Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), one of the fiercest opponents in Congress of Washington, D.C.'s attempts to legalize the substance.
Sandra, a D.C.-based marijuana grower who was there with her husband, Josh, a certified arborist, said marijuana had been a godsend for her arthritis, sciatica and depression. They had left their two young boys with the kids' grandparents.
Sandra said she appreciates concerns people have about how marijuana has grown more concentrated over the years -- but to her, it only made the case for legalization more obvious.
This post has been updated to note that the red caps worn by protesters were Phrygian caps, which were used as a symbol of liberty in the French Revolution.

1 | example_37885 | Twitter Reacts To Lori Lightfoot Being Elected Mayor Of Chicago | NewsOne
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel , Lori Lightfoot
Lori Lightfoot has officially been elected as the next mayor of Chicago, according to the Associated Press. She is the first Black woman and LGBT person to be elected as mayor of the Windy City.
After she and opponent Toni Preckwinkle were sent to a runoff election following a tight contest in February, Lightfoot captured more than 74 percent of the votes Tuesday night.
Lightfoot had two Black mayoral predecessors.
"Lightfoot becomes the third African-American to serve as mayor, The Chicago Tribune reminded readers. "Harold Washington was elected in 1983 as the city's first black mayor and won re-election in 1987 before dying in officer later that year. Eugene Sawyer, the city's second black mayor, was appointed to serve out Washington's term until a 1989 special election."
While some voices across social media said Lightfoot would bring the change Chicago needs, others have said she would simply continue the not-so-flattering legacy of outgoing Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has been under heavy scrutiny on his way out of office after choose against seeking reelection.
See the tweet below from political commentator and activist Ameshia Cross.
Some people love to equate being LGBTQ w/ being progressive. Lori Lightfoot's history doesn't have a progressive slither in it. She took money from powerful corporations turning her back on the poor and underserved. Chicago essentially just elected Rahm again #ChiMayor19
— Ameshia Cross (@AmeshiaCross) April 3, 2019
Back in February, according to the Board of Election Commissioners for Chicago, Lightfoot won 17.48% of the vote and Preckwinkle had 15.96%, which meant there would be a runoff election.
Lightfoot is a former federal prosecutor who has specifically said she wants to separate herself from the city's reputation for political corruption.
Lightfoot stands behind Democratic policies like a $15 minimum wage and legalizing marijuana. She also claimed to be for massive police reform but has been accused of giving "a personal loyalty oath to Rahm Emanuel," which she has denied.
While only time will tell how Lightfoot's mayoral legacy plays out, not everybody seemed to be pleased with her election. See an assortment of the mixed reactions on social media below in response to Lightfoot's historic win.

2 | example_96610 | The community has spoken. Well, the Brooklyn Community Board 2’s Land-Use Committee has spoken at least. And they’ve voted against the giant construction project at 80 Flatbush Ave at a meeting held Wednesday.
Unlike other, approved development projects in Downtown Brooklyn, the planned tower at 80 Flatbush met a wave of backlash from the community. A group called Block 80 Flatbush Towers formed to fight against the construction project. They’ve been vocal online, as well as covered the neighborhood with their message. With this vote, it appears as if their vote has been heard.
It’s not over yet, however. The next public hearing will be on April 30th, and the full Community Board 2’s vote will be at their next scheduled meeting on May 9th.
Unlike Downtown Brooklyn, which was re-zoned in 2004, the location of 80 Flatbush (between Flatbush Avenue, State Street, 3rd Avenue, and Schermerhorn Street) Beorum Hill, and isn’t zoned for such tall buildings. That means the developer, Alloy Development, needs to have the zoning changed to continue with this planned 986 foot tower.
Community members are having none of it, though. If voting continues this trend, Alloy Development will need to come up with a new plan for the space.
The Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn is one of ten locations of the chain to be getting HDR (high dynamic range) Projectors, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This fancy new projection technology makes for whiter whites and blacker blacks, which I’m sure all the film-o-philes will love. They’re partnering with CinemaNext to get these new projectors in theaters.
The exciting part isn’t necessarily the HDR projection, which isn’t totally new (AMC and Dolby teamed up for Dolby Vision a few years back). The exciting part is HDR projection coming to such a badass theater. I mean, have you been to Alamo Drafthouse yet? I don’t really want to go to other theaters anymore.
Personally, HDR isn’t really that exciting to me. But I don’t really get exciting for IMAX or 3D movies either. I’m sure a lot of people will be thrilled.
After a tip to police, a believed serial robber was arrested in Vivi Bubble Tea at 113 Court St on Monday.
The employee began to put money in the bag when two officers entered the store and confronted Price, police said.
The officers allegedly spotted a black object in Price’s hand and demanded that he drop it. Police said he did not comply, and fled to the back of the store.
Price was later apprehended without further incident, and a glue gun wrapped in black tape, a black mask and backpack were found in the store’s bathroom, police said.
Not everyone is happy with all the high rises coming to the neighborhood. Members of our community have banded around stopping the two towers coming to 80 Flatbush Avenue, right across from Atlantic Terminal.
The main argument against this building, as far as I can tell (the official Block 80 Flatbush Towers website is currently down for me, is it working for you?) is that this giant tower will drastically alter several neighborhoods. The tower will be imposing to Boerum Hill, Ft. Greene, Park Slope, Gowanus, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens, all of which consist mostly of brownstone buildings.
This is totally fair. Most of the new Downtown Brooklyn skyscrapers are clustered in the downtown area. Planned buildings like Brooklyn Point, 11 Hoyt, and 9 Dekalb are all in the same general vicinity, none of which looming over other neighborhoods (although 11 Hoyt is pretty close to Boerum Hill).
These new 80 Flatbush towers are creeping farther south, having a much larger impact on people in brownstone Brooklyn.
If you’d like your voice to be heard, you can join the community meeting on Wednesday, April 18th at St. Francis College at 180 Remsen St from 6pm to 9pm.
Looks like the 84th Precinct (which covers Downtown Brooklyn) is having a city council meeting today at 7pm.
Join us at our next Community Council Meeting on April 17th, 2018, 7pm at the Brooklyn Borough Hall, 209 Joralemon St. #Brooklyn Come meet Cop of the Month, here about our Crime Report and results and Transit Police Report. See Flyer for more details #brooklynheights #boerumhills pic.twitter.com/pC7PBZ8cnx
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it. Will anyone reading this be there? I’d love to post about it on the website.
I’d love to find someone who regularly goes to community events such as these to share their perspective. I love the type of coverage on the Carroll Garden’s blog Pardon Me for Asking, and would love to have the same type of thing here.
It can be hard to see from the street, but Macy’s old parking garage is no longer a parking garage. The first step in constructing the next skyscraper being added to Downtown Brooklyn’s skyline, at 11 Hoyt. I shot this photo from our roof on April 14th, 2018, so everyone could get a look at the current progress.
You can click through to the 11 Hoyt website, to see renderings of the new building. New York Yimby has even more. Not too bad, IMO. Definitely not as utterly terrifying as the monstrosity coming to 9 Dekalb Ave.
I don’t think the 11 Hoyt website has been updated in a while, because it still says “anticipated launch summer 2018.” Although, who knows what “launch” refers to. Maybe that’s when they’ll start selling units? Apartments at Brooklyn Point, the third City Point tower that’s currently under construction, went on sale a few weeks ago.
Units in 11 Hoyt will apparently start at $600k and go up to $4M, competing directly with Brooklyn Point. But have you seen the renderings of Brooklyn Point’s amenities? That rooftop pool…rock climbing wall…children’s playroom…those are going to be hard to beat. Yimby says that 11 Hoyt will also “include a pool, squash court, game room, children’s area, and an exercise room.” We’ll have to wait and see how the renderings stack up.
Scaffolding at a Starbucks on Court Street and Joralemon collapsed on Saturday, April 14th. Three people were sent to the hospital with minor injuries — fortunately nothing more. The NY Post has the full story.
I recently downloaded the Citizen mobile app, which sent me an alert shortly after it happened. A user had submitted a picture of the scene, but unfortunately I didn’t have the foresight to capture it for this website. I’m finding Citizen pretty useful though. It reminds me of Gothamist’s (now-defunct) Maps, but with much better UI.
Last year, Brooklyn saw the biggest percentage increase in the number of chain stores of all the city’s boroughs, with 1,587 locations, a 3.1% increase from the previous year, according to a December report from Center for an Urban Future. The greatest concentration of these stores is in zip code 11201 (Brooklyn Heights/Downtown Brooklyn), which has 145 national retailer locations including City Point’s Target, Fulton Street’s H&M, and Sephora on Joralemon Street.
My wife and I have had long discussed what we think Downtown Brooklyn will look like in five to ten years. Her thought is that our neighborhood will most closely resemble current-day Tribeca.
With a huge amount of high-priced luxury apartments, surrounded by chain stores. A massive shopping center along Fulton Street. Easy access to nearly every subway line, and just one stop into Manhattan on several lines. One can see why these developers are trying to turn Downtown Brooklyn into New York City’s Next Big Thing.
What do you think Downtown Brooklyn will look like in ten years? Will it resemble Tribeca? Or some other neighborhood? Let us know in the comments below. | OSCAR-2019 |

OtherDesign DilemmaGardens
we recently moved into a new house and have a bit of a boring garden. does anyone have any ideas of what to do with it? we will be getting rid of the concrete slabs and most likely replacing with decking or gravel. we're then thinking of turf/fake grass with maybe borders around the edge.
i've included two pics of our garden and what we like but open to ALL suggestions! apologies for the bad pics, im at work and dont have others on my phone!
Love the idea of having a decked area, if you add some seating and keep some of the area with real or artificial grass this will keep the garden looking and feeling more welcoming in my opinion.
However, if you wanted to send over some dimensions I'd be happy to pop a quick garden layout/design together for you? (Free of course!) :)
[email protected]
Hi, dimensions would be useful and which way is the garden facing? Could you do a sketch of the layout of house & garden? Where doors to the garden and windows are is quite important to know for example.

At the southern edge of the East Village bordering the Lower East Side stands One Avenue B, a sleek, contemporary condominium in a historic and bohemian neighborhood. One Avenue B stands apart from its brick neighbors with a steel-and-glass façade. It's no wonder that people are flocking to the East Village with its superb and constantly-changing collection of restaurants, boutiques, bars, and clubs, many of which are only blocks away from One Avenue B. With the subway only a few blocks to the southwest, One Avenue B is only a short train ride away from the rest of New York City. A small condominium, One Avenue B's eight floors hold only 24 residences, all of which embody the principles of modern design. An eclectic mix of rich, warm cherry wood floors and off-white walls fit the open floor plan that define the condos for sale at One Avenue B. Oversized windows lend great views over Houston Street and Lower Manhattan, with the Financial District's skyscrapers peeking out in the distance. Attention to advanced technology allows for TV and Internet control from the refrigerator, and a personal washer and dryer are standard. Each bathroom has slate flooring and contemporary components for an ultra-modern look. Rare for the East Village, One Avenue B has a full-time doorman for additional security. Residents also have access to a private fitness center and rooftop terrace, both great places to relax away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan after a long day. Bicycle storage comes in handy for those bike trips across the Williamsburg Bridge, only a few blocks to the south. With such a good location, luxurious modernity, and nice amenities, why wouldn't you check out One Avenue B? | https://www.elegran.com/nyc/buildings/1-avenue-b | 2020/04/02 05:38:17 | mC4 |
0 | example_89518 | The last major update made to Terraria was version 1.2 which came out way back in 2013. Ever since then, fans of the 2D action adventure title have set their eyes upon version 1.3 which is still to be released.
Re-Logic has finally stepped things up a bit and now we know that the update is going to be out on June 30. So what exactly have they done with the game now?
Obviously all that cannot be answered right now and it will require being able to play the game and read up on the changelog which we don’t have yet.
That being said, the developers have tried to show off at least some of the new things that they have in store for us in a new video.
As you can see above, in the footage the game is being played by a beta tester which shows “The Underworld’s recent visual makeover.”
Join one of our intrepid beta testers along his personal Highway to Hell as we give you a glimpse into The Underworld’s recent visual makeover. We were all simply blown away at what a difference in “depth” the new background makes to the atmosphere of the biome – as just one example.
Something is causing the active player-base of Dota 2 to decline. This should not be that alarming as players tend to take time off after The International. However, there is a pattern of stagnation here that must be pointed out.
According to SteamCharts, a third-party platform that monitors data from Steam, the last three months have seen a significant decline in the number of concurrent players.
824,297 players logged into the game at peak in July, followed by 876,395 in August, and 838,519 so far for September. In comparison, the lowest number of concurrent players was recorded at 734,998 on April 2014 in these past three years. This is the first time that the numbers have dipped so low since then.
What is worrying is that the active player-base seems to have stagnated for the game. On average, the concurrent players have remained below and just over 900,000 in 2014 and 2015 respectively. There was a surge last year where the peak number of players topped a million. However, the same figure has plummeted since the start of 2017 and continues to decline with each month.
There can be a number of reasons that account for the shrinkage of the active community this year. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is probably at the very top in that list.
The online battle royale experience has attracted a large number of players from every other popular multiplayer, and otherwise competitive, game. This includes Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, from where more than 4 million active players have jumped ship in the past months.
There is also to consider that PUBG has frequently been dominating Steam in terms of player-counts. More recently, the early access game registered 1.5 million concurrent players and has previously pushed aside Dota 2 as the top game on Steam.
However, external factors may not be the only cause for concern. Dota 2 has been riding on the current version for more than four months. Players may have grown weary of the stale meta of the game. The next patch is expected to introduce two new heroes, which might see players return. There has also been disappointment shown over the matchmaking system, which now takes into account “behavior score” more so than the actual matchmaking rating (MMR) of a player. It might be another reason for players to be taking a break from the game this year.
Dota 2 has clearly seen better days but it is important to note that ups and downs happen with every game, even if it is a popular and competitive one. The upcoming new content as well as the Pro Circuit should breathe new life into the current form of the game. | OSCAR-2019 |

Over an eight-week period this summer, the New Museum presented XFR STN (Transfer Station), an exhibition and media archiving project that provided migration and digital preservation services to anyone with artist-originated material. In conjunction with Archives Week, an annual event aimed at highlighting the diverse array of archival materials available in the Metropolitan New York City region, "XFR STN" Technicians Kristin MacDonough and Rebecca Fraimow have organized a screening of selected clips from video material that was digitized during the course of the exhibition, including material from the New Museum's own archive. Colab members, artists Andrea Callard and Coleen Fitzgibbon, and New Museum Digital Archivist Tara Hart will also be on hand to discuss their experiences during the project. Discussions with presenters and the audience will aim to consider the roles and relationships of creators, archivists, and preservationists, the methodologies and lessons learned during the course of the project, and future steps for artists and institutions. Coleen Fitzgibbon and Andrea Callard are both artists and filmmakers based in New York City. Between 1978 and 1980, as officers of Colab, they co-created a 501©(3) nonprofit organizational structure so the group could receive public funding, laying the groundwork for the first Colab live TV shows All Color News and Potato Wolf.
Kristin MacDonough and Rebecca Fraimow are graduates of NYU's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program.

The movement continues, as designers who attended BlogtourNOLA with Modenus principal Veronika Miller want to GIVE BACK and bring your ATTENTION to a city still rebuilding itself after Katrina. Thursday the 9th Veronika has organized for a FUNDRAISER via a chat on Twitter (May 9 from 4-5pm EST #BlogtourNOLA) to raise funds via World Vision for Joe Robert.

I introduced you to Joe and the plight of New Orleans people in my recent post. Please help him rebuild his home, his story is particularly touching as he has delayed rebuilding his home to donate his time to rebuild other Hurricane victims homes'.
Joe and Gloria's home
Joe and Gloria Robert of New Orleans were newlyweds looking forward to a bright
future together when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in August 2005.
Residing in their new house for just one month before Katrina slammed the city, the
couple lost everything when the levee behind their house was destroyed – one of 53
levees in the city breached by the storm surge – and canal water swallowed the home.
The Roberts evacuated the city, staying with various friends and relatives. When the
flood waters receded weeks later, Joe and Gloria moved into a pop-up camper in their
driveway for a while, but they've also been staying with Joe's daughter from a previous
Nearly eight years later, Joe and Gloria's house is still uninhabitable. While a new
house has been framed out, the building lacks essentials including electrical, drywall,
flooring and plumbing. Because Joe is a contractor by trade, he has the skills to work
on his house, but he has generously donated much of his free time to volunteering with
St. Paul's Homecoming Center helping to rebuild other people's houses.
Joe works on his home little by little, but is often derailed by setbacks such as having
his house broken into and his tools stolen. Even though Joe was forced to save up until
he could replenish his tool supply, he has not lost his faith in humanity.
Fortunately, Joe and Gloria received some good news recently when Storehouse of
World Vision selected the couple and their house for a rehab project. A few weeks
ago Storehouse joined forces with the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA)
and St. Paul's Homecoming Center to help rehab kitchens and baths in three houses
as a lead-in to NKBA's Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) held April 19-21 in New
While Storehouse and NKBA partners have donated materials, appliances and labor
for a new kitchen and bath in the Robert's house, the rest of the unfinished home still
needs lots of TLC.

3-New Orleans: A Strong Community Rebuilding Itself Needs Your Help
Posted on April 30, 2013 by elzabdesign
Our BlogtourNOLA trip to New Orleans was not just about interior design. Our organizer, Veronika Miller, wanted us to have the opportunity to understand New Orleans as a community that has and continues to suffer. We were invited to visit with neighborhoods deeply affected by Katrina and witness their rebuilding efforts firsthand.
Our first tour is organized by the Storehouse of World Vision, a network of six storehouses which supply donated goods such as building materials, school supplies, personal care items and clothing from corporate partners to more than 2.2 million people annually in low-income communities. As part of the upcoming National Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) which took place in New Orleans April 19-21, World Vision partnered with New Orleans St Paul's Homecoming Center and the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) to help three deserving families rebuild their homes.
We are invited to tour these homes in Gentilly, a neighborhood located near the levees that has seen only 60% of its homes rebuilt. Efrain Perez, Jr., Corporate Relations Director of World Vision explains how his organization partners with companies to donate products to help those in needs. New Orleans continues to need all the support it can get: corporate donations are essential in this reconstruction. Connie Uddo, director of St Paul's Homecoming Center, explains how her local community was affected: "100 000 trees were destroyed by salt water and 80% of homes flooded". Connie tells how contractor fraud had affected the already demoralized inhabitants. When the government money came in, people started hiring contractors. Unfortunately, some of these contractors profited from the situation and took the money and ran.
It is hard to transcribe here the level of raw emotion, determination and courage the locals shared with us as we visit with them.
Connie guided St Paul's Episcopal Church effort to offer the post-Katrina community a place where they could find volunteer help, housing, tools, computer access, mental health and much, much more. She speaks in an energetic, focused and dedicated manner about her community: "We just held each other up, pulled ourselves by the bootstraps and we continue to today". Gentilly's middle class neighborhood was under water 8 years ago. It has been a very slow process to rebuild. Connie works tirelessly with volunteers like Joe Robert, a contractor whose home was entirely destroyed during Katrina.

Joe was in the process of rebuilding when all his tools and floors were stolen out of his house. He owns one of the homes currently being helped by donations from World Vision, and which he helps rebuild, along with other homes, after his workday.
A team of volunteers from The Home Depot help construct the Davis' family home, as their daughter explains that her father so wanted to meet with us but is currently in the hospital. This family did not have flood insurance. The little money they got for their contents was stolen by a fraudulent contractor who ran off with $32,000. Photo : Barbara Elza Hirsch | Chez Elza
A special ceremony is underway. White doves will be released in the sky to symbolize the rebirth of these homes and give strength and courage to all. Photo : Barbara Elza Hirsch | Chez Elza
Everyone holds their breath as the doves are about to be released. The owner of the birds explains what will happen.
And there they go! Photo Credit: Barbara Elza Hirsch | Chez Elza
Our last stop is Joe's home. His property abuts the levee and he tells a heart wrenching story. Since his home's destruction 8 years ago, he and his wife have had to live with a family member. Their home rebuilding project is finally on the right track. He is torn between moving back here, to a neighborhood he and his ancestors grew up in, and his wife's fear that the brand new levee will not protect them in case of a another disastrous storm.
Note how the homes' levels are elevated and have doors at every floor: this is the new approach to re-building homes in the area.
In Joe's driveway, we ask for permission to walk to the newly constructed levee and are struck by how eerily close to the homes these are.
I climb on a ledge to take this shot and assess the water level. Joe's house is 50 feet to the right of this view.
Joe lifts his arm as he tells the story of how high the water went. Later he will show us a street sign, about as high as our tour bus. The water reached that sign's level. We can still see the water stains. Photos : Barbara Elza Hirsch | Chez Elza
Inside the home, boxes of donated items are ready to be opened. A kitchen that for most of us is a simple commodity is a luxury long awaited for here.
Corporations who donated to this project should feel proud:
It is time to say goodbye. Tears are shed. We leave our new Gentilly friends behind with a heavy heart. The mood in the bus is morose as we grapple with all we've seen and heard.
Next stop is another neighborhood, the Lower 9th Ward, a historic working class community which was also hit hard during the hurricane. 1,200 people perished here and only 20% of the original population has returned. When Brad Pitt visited New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward two years after Hurricane Katrina, he was shocked by the lack of rebuilding progress in this community. Pitt decided to help rebuild in the hardest hit area of the city and created Make It Right, which is committed to building high-quality, sustainable homes designed by architects for communities in need. All Make It Right projects are LEED Platinum certified and Cradle to Cradle inspired – meeting the highest standards of green building. The homes are sold at a very low price and buyers need to be previous neighborhood residents. 90 homes have already been rebuilt. 350 people have been brought back home thanks to Make It Right.
The homes here are designed with the architect according to the homeowner's taste and preferences. Each is unique. The U.S. Green Building Council named Make It Right's work in the Lower 9th Ward "the largest, greenest neighborhood of single family homes in the world."

Help from corporations and individuals is key to the success of the Make It Right project and companies such as Benjamin Moore, Cosentino (owner of Silestone) and Shaw Floors are active partners in this reconstruction.
We visit one home where one older woman has reintegrated her neighborhood. She is happy and loves the new space. Two members of Make it Right can't seem to agree on whether her home was designed by a Japanese architect or a Chinese architect. Is it really important at this point ? I don't really care. I'd much rather meet and hear the locals.
This afternoon visit to the Lower 9th Ward feels very different than Gentilly's tour. Having someone like Brad Pitt bring attention to this area is like a double edge sword. It is a wonderful initiative, yet many of us can't help feeling there is something surreal about the whole thing. Is it because we are shown around in a very rapid and business like manner, making this feel less about the local people than about the design concept behind these green designed homes? Something is missing. Suddenly the amount of publicity brought to this area feels very unfair compared to what we saw in the morning. Would we have felt differently had our day started in the Lower 9th Ward?
The truth is, I am not from New Orleans. I only visited two neighborhoods. I am sure the reconstruction initiatives and the politics behind these are more complex than what they seem.
One thing is for sure: New Orleans is still not out of the woods. People are still suffering. I am hoping to plan a trip to Gentilly with my family and help hammer and paint.
"Everyone can help us rebuild, even families with children who want to come visit and help out", says Connie. St Paul's Homecoming Center is a "boots on the ground" program.
As explained on St Paul's website, each volunteer group is matched with a project suited to their unique qualifications. When skilled construction workers are here, they may do carpentry, drywall, roofing etc. If a group of unskilled people are here to work, they might be asked to do landscaping, painting, or community-related improvements. Because of the variety of needs in the New Orleans area, St Paul's is able to provide a project for any group, regardless of age or skill level – they even have families that come to New Orleans and work for a few days during their vacations.
Cash Donations are welcome and I have affixed a direct link here to St Paul's Homecoming Center here as well as on the right of my blog, where it will be part of CHEZ ELZA's ongoing effort to help rebuild New Orleans.
If your corporation wishes to donate to The Storehouse of World Vision, please click here.

Everyone should have a home they can call their own. New Orleans decided to expand on its swampy areas to grow the city centuries ago. We cannot, as some suggested 8 years ago, just eliminate entire neighborhoods that have been home to families for generations. We need to make sure levees are rebuilt appropriately and drainage is set in place all over the area. New Orleans is part of this country's unique history and I believe Americans should come together and help rebuild and preserve its beautiful heritage.

2-New Orleans: Sustainable Gas Lanterns and Bevolo
Posted on April 28, 2013 by elzabdesign
The Gas Lantern is one of the signatures of the French Quarter in New Orleans. Our BlogtourNOLA group was invited for breakfast and a factory tour at Bevolo, a family owned business that revolutionized the production of gas lamps by developing a unique technique. In 1945, the French Quarter opened its doors to an Italian-American family owned business: Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights. Andrew Bevolo, Sr., who had worked in manufacturing for companies such as Ford, realized that by utilizing a hand riveting technique rather than making brittle soldered joints, he could create sustainable gas lights. He started working with architect A. Hays Town to develop a beautiful design. Thus was born the French Quarter Gas Lamp, inspired by the London street lights of the 19th century.
Bevolo offers 500 types of lights, and we saw a good 40 styles displayed at the factory. These are offered in multiple finishes, but copper is the best seller, sought after for its beauty and durability. I learned that gas lights utilize very little energy and the cost to keep one lit is 7 to 10 dollars per lamp per month. They are "basically a pilot light with a fancy cover" to quote the third generation owner, Drew Bevolo. Due to their high efficiency, the gas lamps stay on day and night. They can be used indoors as well. Kitchens are seeing a big trend in large lantern pendants. Lights used indoors are equipped with a safety valve. All these lanterns can be made electric as well. Bevolo offers a lifetime warranty on broken glass: if it breaks, the glass will be replaced for free!
As I observed the soft glimmer of the gas flames, I was transported through time and charmed by the quiet and non glaring properties of this type of lighting.

I will end this second chapter by sharing a few images of the streets where the store and factory is located.

I want to thank the Bevolo team for a fabulous tour and visit. I learned so much and as always, relish a factory tour!
Next on the list, I will share what I learned about the New Orleans community's efforts to rebuild its homes. A la prochaine!

1-New Orleans: Architecture, its Crown Jewel
Posted on April 22, 2013 by elzabdesign
I am back after a formidable blogtourNOLA journey with the lovely Veronika Miller and an amazing group of designers/bloggers I had the pleasure of meeting.
I debated on what to share with you in this 1st chapter of my New Orleans adventure. I decided to begin with setting the scene. And what comes to mind is BEAUTY. Beautiful architecture abounds in this gorgeous city.
How can I even start to explain the beauty of New Orleans? There are no words, really.
We begin on a warm, muggy day in April 2013. Destination: The Garden District.
The Garden District was designated a national historical landmark in 1974. It is renowned for its beautiful 19th century mansions, some late Victorian homes and elaborate gardens. Greek revival, Spanish, French, British and Italian influences have come together to create an incredible architecture.

It will give a sense of the laid back, green and lush vibe of this city.
At this point, I imagine and hope your are rendered speechless. Good! This is truly a trip I recommend! Be sure to follow my blog posts on new Orleans over the next few weeks. A bientôt, les amis!

Blogtour NOLA, New Orleans, Me Voilà!
Posted on April 13, 2013 by elzabdesign
I am cramming. Cramming for a good cause. I am off to New Orleans next week for an exciting week of discovery, design education, socializing and sight seeing.

Trying to juggle all clients before my departure plus the organization of my upcoming show house in Maine, with a sick child who ended up staying at home the end of the week after almost breaking his toe and a rush to X-ray Wednesday, I admit I feel wiped out. But this cramming and exhaustion serve a good purpose. It's 1 AM and I am writing with some news I have to share before I leave! I have been generously invited to a very special event called Blogtour NOLA, organized by Modenus. Veronika Miller is the founder and CEO of Modenus the leading interior design resource in the US and UK. For the past few years now she has been partnering with sponsors to invite trend setting bloggers and design minded individuals to Blogtour events.
Definition of a Blogtour organized by Modenus: bloggers are invited to scout the world for great design and report back live from the world's greatest cities and the most recognized design trade shows.
Blogtour NOLA is taking us to KBIS 2013 this month, a Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, which will be held in New Orleans this month. KBIS is a huge industry event which allows industry professionals to connect, exchange ideas, learn and discover new products and technologies. I look forward to learning a lot, and adding many new design tricks to my practice! I am particularly interested in new technologies, materials used for surfaces, and plumbing design.
This trip could not be possible without the generous sponsorship of KBIS, The NKBA, Mr. Steam, TOTO USA, Blanco America, Poggenpohl USA, Silestone USA, and Duverre Hardware
I will be writing more about these brands as I discover them firsthand.
I love that Veronika conceives her blog tours as not only opportunities for bloggers to learn a lot about all the latest trends at these trade shows, but also as an opportunity to discover the culture of the area they are traveling to. In this case, I am really blessed to travel to New Orleans, a city I have never had the pleasure of visiting. I am looking forward to learning about " the effort to rebuild many parts of the city and hear stories of how people have coped with the emotional and physical devastation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The mere fact that this is still a topic today, eight years later, made it clear that BlogTour needed to share the latest with its readers" (in Modenus' own words).
And sharing we will, Veronika!
I could not resist to leave you with a photo of the hotel we will be staying at. My readers know my love for hotel design !

New Orleans, this Frenchie is ready! Beignets? Oui, avec grand plaisir!

2 | example_61036 | Personally I have had poor results using many of the traditional Internet Marketing methods to create passive income. Producing pages of content whose sole purpose is to get natural search engine traffic and then have visitors click on an AdSense ad or click on a link to an affiliate offer has not proven to be very successful for me. (even though I may still be doing this depending on when you are reading this page)
It seems like such a waste of time to spend so much energy to get new website visitors only to send them elsewhere. It just makes more sense to try to capitalize on all that effort and somehow turn visitors into followers, subscribers or fans so that we can continue to communicate with them.
However this is not a social media exercise. We are still looking to sell products and services to make make money, after all this is about passive INCOME. So just to be clear we want to create an audience and maintain their attention so that we can occasionally make them an offer. I say occasionally because to maintain their attention we have to offer excellent value and a reason for them to pay attention to us. We can't do that if we try to sell them something every time we communicate with them.
With the above in mind I will attempt to create a series of principals that will guide my actions going forward.
Never produce content on my website whose sole purpose is to attract search engine traffic and rankings.
The primary purpose of the website is never to send people somewhere else to buy a product or a service.
The primary purpose of the website is to create a subscriber, a follower, a person who has given us permission to talk to them in the future or has decided to follow us in some form or another.
If we use the 2 principles above to guide our purchase decisions for Internet Marketing products and services it should pretty well rule out 90% of all of the courses and products/services that are available from Internet Marketing teachers and gurus.
I will be adding more Rules as time goes on as well as documenting my journey to a Passive Income model that is sustainable and can realistically be called a "business". | http://passiveincome.ca/manifesto/ | 2018/05/24 21:24:32 | mC4 |
2 | example_58136 | A Look into Co-op programs for the Trades in Ontario
A Look into Co-op programs for the...
The skilled trades industry continues to thrive in Canada, but unfortunately, there are major gaps in the workforce. For the past few years, particularly in the province of British Columbia, the labour shortage hit such a critical level that it was a major headline in all news outlets and companies started to get more creative in recruiting people such as offering thousands of dollars in bonuses to anyone who could refer skilled workers. Others truly went the extra mile and brought on workers from Ireland to fill in the gaps. TimesColonist.com reports that as of 2016, a total of 5,885 immigrants from Ireland were living in B.C. as of 2016, and majority were employed in the skilled trade sectors.
Ontario is also affected by this crisis, and the Globe and Mail reported that in February 2018, finding welders, tool and die makers, machinists and millwrights for industrial companies in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, are now a top concern. Business owners affected offer a number of reasons attributed to the scarcity. One common reason they deduced is that there is a large number of skilled workers who are retiring and the number is not being replaced because today's youth are shying away from these types of jobs because they are misinformed and are unaware that skilled trades could be a viable career path.
Fortunately, the Ontario government has recognized the issues plaguing the skilled trades industry and thus has implemented measures to ensure its steady growth. Skills Ontario, for instance, has launched several programs like in-school presentations that promote trades among students. Some of these programs also call for the participation of the students' parents, who plays a pivotal role in educating their kids about multi-career paths offered by skilled trades.
Another method adapted by the Ontario government to foster growth in the skilled trades industry is to provide free education for 1,200 people to join apprenticeship programs. The program is open to all, including newcomers, high school students, graduates, or dropouts, as well as those who are already attending college.
Here's a closer look at these Co-op programs for the trades in Ontario:
This program's duration is one year with an additional work placement for eight to 12 weeks. The program also completely covers the costs of textbooks, equipment and tools and includes safety training for skilled trades, improvement to academic skills, and basic level apprenticeship in-school training.
The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) is an ideal program for students aiming to get their foot in the door to work in apprenticeship occupations via the cooperative education program. Through OYAP, students gain the chance to become registered apprentices and pursue becoming certified journeypersons in a skilled trade while completing their secondary school diplomas. There are three types of OYAP programs, and the most common of which is the Regular OYAP which is open to any student who are over 16 years old with at least 16 credits to their name and are registered full-time in school, working on secondary school credits, and be signed up for cooperative education in one of over 150 apprenticeship trades.
The Co-Op Diploma Apprenticeship Program is another initiative implemented by the Government of Ontario to increase access to the skilled trades. This program aims to provide individuals opportunities to train as apprentices in a specific trade while in pursuit of an associated college diploma. Those who want to apply to the program must be attending a college program that offers the Co-op Diploma Program to see if they qualify for an individual school and the trade of their interest. | http://jobspeopledo.com/2018/12/a-look-into-co-op-programs-for-the-trades-in-ontario/ | 2022/07/06 23:01:01 | mC4 |

0 | example_75422 | 6 Tips for Seniors to Begin College Applications – Casey Rowley barneson
Are you a senior who just realized college applications are open and have no idea where to begin? Or maybe you're still in denial? No judgement here BTW for the procrastinators in the room!! Applying to college can feel fairly overwhelming. It's a big task, not to mention one that is quite ambiguous, oh and a bit vulnerable/scary/whatever else you're feeling insert here. For starters, you're not alone. We've all googled How to get into college or What's the acceptance rate to University Impossible or Best engineering programs in California, and while that will throw you into a rabbit hole spiral, or just get you a bit lost online in a game of comparison, it's totally okay to feel a bit out of sorts with the whole thing. So here's 6 tips to get you centered, motivated, and gaining momentum towards applying AND getting into college.
1. Know WHERE you want to apply before strategizing HOW to apply
You walk down the hall and your friend says they've already started the Common Application. Eek! What?! Here's the thing, if you don't have a solid list of colleges how do you even know you need the Common Application? Or at least, how do you know if you should strategize your Common Application before your UC application? Building your college list and knowing your due dates and application portals is a big first step. Knowing you have a BALANCED list of colleges (at least a few you feel confident you'll get in AND you'd actually attend) in addition to those more reach schools is really important. Need help with that? Click HERE.
2. Organize your apps
There's a million ways to organize your due dates, requirements, etc. What is important to remember (hint hint, strategy) is to find a system that works best for YOU. If you like the notes app on your IPhone, use that, if you like an old fashioned planner to write in and add fancy post-its, go for it, if you want an excel organizer, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE.
Let's say you have 9 colleges to apply to. Four of them are on the UC application, 4 are on the Common Application and one you need to apply directly on the universities website. You know the UC application is due on November 30th, and you have an opportunity to apply Early Action to a few and the rest are due in January. You'd strategize your early November 1/15 apps, UC app, then the others. You know the UC's don't need letters of recommendation, but the others do, so you make a note to request from your teachers and/or counselors for the Common Application ones and begin working on essays. You keep track of the usernames/passwords for when you inevitably log in from a school computer and it's not automatically saved like it is at home. You have links to the application portals in one spot, and you know what's due first. Boom. Easy peasy.
3. Write all essay prompts on one document
Visualizing all of your essay prompts on paper (or a Google doc) is a GREAT way to see if topics overlap, so you're not reinventing the wheel. For example, the UC prompts are 350 words and shorter. But you might find that one of your UC essays can become a main 650 word essay for another app. Let's say you have five supplemental essays for different universities, but a handful of them are asking essentially the same question. You can outline your main ideas and tailor them rather than write five brand new essays.
4. Schedule time dedicated towards applications
There's nothing worse than having a looming deadline that you know is real, but there's no actual plan to do it. It's like having your Gov/Econ exam be 90% of your grade without studying, and as it gets closer, the anxiety seeps in, but you feel too paralyzed to start. Nope, not a great strategy. Actually schedule times in your day or week to work on applications. It doesn't have to be every day. It could be once a week, or an hour here and there, or even 20 minute increments. Just schedule uninterrupted set time where you can focus.
Make sure your space is clean, organized and free of distraction. Put your phone in the other room, turn off notifications (or even put it in airplane mode) get your snacks out of the way, ask your family to respect your space, or hole up at a coffee shop where you don't know anyone. This is where you have to be honest with yourself. If you know you can only handle 20 minutes, set a timer, work, then take a break. Schedule it, own it, and complete it.
5. Meet with admission counselors
These are the people who work for the university you're applying to. Every college has one, and they are a phenomenal resource. They know the majors, the departments, the application priority deadlines, and all the ins and outs. They are also often one of the first people to read your college applications. So yes, they can help advocate for you if it seems fit, or they can give you a tip or two on how to present a better application. They can also help if there's things like an optional interview, or a student on campus you can connect with, and they can even help you get a window into campus life (which bonus…helps with a WHY US essay). Email them, attend a college fair, or meet with them at your school!!
6. Apply authentically – AKA – you do you
When you're writing your applications, you're writing your story. Not the story you think admission officers want to hear. College admission counselors read THOUSANDS of applications. Don't force an essay just because you think the topic sounds better. Think about what you'd want them to really know about you. Even the things that you don't think matter, but really do. LIKE
If you were supposed to participate in an activity that got cancelled due to COVID (they need to know!)
If you have a committed family responsibility that took you away from extracurricular activities
If you advocated to take a class at a higher level
If you had a rough semester because of an illness or anything else
If you have a quirky talent that makes you, you
There are spaces throughout the college applications (like additional comments) where you can provide CONTEXT to help a college better understand what you did or did not have access to. So if you were the only high school student to work at the local restaurant, boast about it, or if you maxed out in the math curriculum, let them know!!
Think about who you are and what you represent. What your goals are, your dreams, your career interests, anything! Make sure you're all over your app, and not just in a generic way, brag, write, provide details, help them see a 3D application rather than a 2D app that looks like everyone else.
College applications don't have to be stressful. Keep in mind this is just the beginning. ONCE you get into college (and you will) you have four years ahead of you at an institution that celebrates you, challenges you, and will help you grow into the awesome adult that you'll become. So remember, this time shall pass, and in the meantime, take our tips and gain some momentum.

Home News Kenyan Teacher Leads US Congress In Prayer (Video)
Award-winning Kenyan teacher, Peter Tabichi on Tuesday was granted the honour of opening the US Congress with a prayer in Washington DC
Award-winning Kenyan teacher, Peter Tabichi on Tuesday graced the opening of the US Congress in Washington DC, as a guest Chaplain, opening the session with a prayer.

Tabichi who is from Pwani village in Kenya attended the US council as a guest chaplain.
Brother Tabichi teaches science at Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School at Pwani village in Njoro, Nakuru County in Kenya's Rift Valley.
An elated Tabichi shared his joy after he was welcomed to the Congress to say the prayer,
Dressed in his brown cloak, the man of the cloth took to the podium where he said the Franciscan prayer for peace.
In his prayer, the chaplain asked the Lord to use him as an instrument of peace to sow love, peace, hope and light in instances of hatred, injury, and sadness.
He further requested for peace in the world, and that people's hands and hearts be stretched out in compassion and service of others.
On Monday, Tabichi met US President Donald Trump at the White House.
White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, showered praises on the teacher, acknowledging him for his sacrifices.
"This morning, President Donald Trump met with Peter Tabichi, the recipient of the 2019 Global Teacher Prize!," said Grisham.
Grisham continued to tell the Kenyan tutor that he inspires Trump's administration.

0 | example_41211 | This past weekend I made it through my fifth Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse. My husband did the cleanse with me this time, and it really helped to have a partner to go through everything with 🙂
In the book Andreas Moritz explains how meat requires a larger amount of bile to digest and can often times cause gallstones to build up — so to prep for the cleanse, and give the liver and gallbladder a break, we both ate a clean, vegan diet for the week. This is the first cleanse that I was disciplined on this.
Surprisingly, I was able to eat vegan even though I ate out almost every day for lunch. I am happy to report that most of the places that I ate at are chain stores across the United States — Positive Trend 🙂
A couple of these healthy, vegan options are two of my favorite go-to restaurants — Chipotle and Jason’s Deli.
Chipotle provides food that is raised in a sustainable manner and they use organic ingredients when possible. They tout it as food with integrity. Their food is simple – rice, beans, salsa, guacamole – and they are quick and inexpensive 🙂
Jason’s Deli has yummy gluten free, veggie options including their grilled zucchini sandwich or delicious salad bar. They offer quite a bit of organic ingredients, including their mixed salad greens (awesome considering lettuce and spinach are sprayed with so many pesticides!)
While I’m not sure that I can commit to being vegan (Oh for the love of Sushi) — I do plan on cutting back on my meat intake. I am making it a goal to eat meat only 2 – 3 times a week.
This Time I Am Going to Keep Down the Oil….
We did the actual liver and gallbladder cleansing part last Friday. (I like to do them on Fridays so that I have a day and a half to recover). We had colonics in the afternoon and refrained from eating anything after noon. Without any food in our bellies, we were quite snappy by the end of the evening, LOL.
My biggest dread with the cleanse is drinking the oil concoction before bed — made up of a cup of organic olive oil and a cup and a half of orange and lemon juice — yum! LOL. Every single cleanse I have thrown up the oil — without falter. One time I made it through the night only to awake and throw it all up upon rising, Ha.
The point of the oil is to essentially clear out the gallstones in the gallbladder, which then prompts the removal of the stones in the liver.
I coaxed myself this time throughout the night (as my stomach growled) I am not going to throw up this time. I am going to stomach it….
So there I stood next to my bed — with my awesome husband across from me — and we downed the oil together. I told myself that it was just orange juice, a sweet salad dressing….Ugh. Licks of honey in between gulps definitely helps.
We drank it all down, then laid down together, in 20 hopeful minutes of silence as the stones released from our gallbladders and livers. I felt spams in my liver but I stayed still and did my best to get some sleep.
About an hour later I heard an all too familiar sound from my one year old boxer, Alice, who was in her crate next to the bed. Oh no… this is not happening … but it does — she pukes. Ugh.
My husband and I both remain where we are — afraid to move — for fear of what may come up. But the smell gets to my husband and he has to get up and puke….
A couple of hours later after getting spotty sleep I wake again to the familiar sound…. Seriously? Again? Yes Alice pukes a second time — after I jump up, pull her from her crate and into the bathroom.
Long story short — the matters eventually cause the oil to stir in me — right up out of mouth. LOL. It all comes up, yet again — an oil, citrus mess…
Positive Results
Regardless of the fact that I threw up the oil….again….I had positive results from this liver and gallbladder cleanse. I passed at least 400 stones — with about 100 from my liver and 300 from my gallbladder.
The first passing that I had included about 15 marble sized, super dark green stones (the darker the color, the older the stone). I was happy to see these come out — yikes. They must have been causing some kind of havoc in me.
I’ve been feeling kind of icky the past couple of weeks — waves of nausea, dizziness, headaches and an eczema breakout on my hands.
After reviewing the book again, I noticed that these are all signs of having gallstones in the liver and gallbladder — perhaps these big green marbles were causing these issues? Either way I am happy that they are out of me.
I had a second colonic on Monday and so much gunk came out of me. Honestly I felt a little rough, like I was expelling a lot of toxins — only a good thing for healing 🙂
On the Positive Side?
I am feeling great today and my hands have improved. The biggest impact I notice has been on my state of mind. I feel very clear headed, creative and SO grateful! I feel like I can take on anything and have been much more aware of the subtle messages of the Universe 🙂
This feeling is SO worth the trials of the cleanse.
I have been charting my cycles the last couple of months and am curious to see if this cleanse has any impact on my chart in terms of hormonal balance, as this really is the point of all this cleansing. Will keep you updated…
I felt good cutting back on my meat intake. I think that a huge factor in the problems we have in the meat supply in the US is the fact that Americans are consuming SO much meat. I know that I used to eat it at just about every meal (if not meat, then cheese), just about every day.
If everyone cut back their meat intake to no more than three times a week — imagine the impact!
Have you tried a liver and gallbladder cleanse? Found success with a vegan diet? I would love to hear from you in the comment section below.
Much love.

0 | example_76714 | Captain's Log: Interview with Star Trek Online's Christine Thompson, part one
The past couple of weeks, I took a bit of time to head to Las Vegas to moderate and cover the Star Trek Online panels at the official Star Trek Convention, but I'm happy to say I'm back in the saddle and picking up where I left off with my series of interviews with the people responsible for making Star Trek Online and conducted when I visited Cryptic Studios in late June.
This week I begin my summaries of my interview with STO's lead writer, Christine Thompson. Many of you may know her as Cryptic Kestrel. Read on to see what she had to say about writing for the Romulan Republic!
I spoke with Thompson almost immediately after the Legacy of Romulus expansion had been released, and my first question to her was about how she had fared since the launch. Thompson joked that she was very ready to undergo her scheduled nervous breakdown. She then said happily that she had been extremely satisfied with the results of everyone's hard work.
She admitted that the entire team had been working very long hours and extra days for months prior to the launch and she was ready to be able to breathe a little bit. She also joked that the breather would be a short one because Cryptic was already moving forward with new content (which was later revealed to be a new featured episode as well as the Season Eight update).
We discussed how the Legacy of Romulus expansion contained what is considered by many to be the best storytelling the game has seen to date. When I asked her if she had a favorite part of the new material, Thompson told me that she was simply just thrilled to have the opportunity to tell a tight, interconnected tale. However, she said that she had a particular love for the Khitomer mission; she felt it turned out exactly how she wanted to see it. In regards to the Romulan first officer, Tovan Khev, Thompson admitted that there were aspects to his tale that didn't translate as well as she had hoped, but she still likes the idea of his character being a "voice" for the player.
Thompson told me that when the Romulan faction was greenlit, there was a bit of a conundrum regarding how to begin the Romulan Republic's tale. As far as players knew at that point, the Romulan Republic was in its infancy and had already established a capital on a new home planet. She didn't recall exactly which one of the team members had suggested a prequel tale as opposed to a continuation of the story already present in the game; the climate at Cryptic is "super collaborative," and creative meetings consist of a lot of pitching of ideas back and forth. In that way, she explained, writing for STO is very different from writing a prose tale like a book or a short story.
Thompson told me that while much of what was good in LoR -- namely, the extensive voice over material and layered story work -- were, in hindsight, a bit too much. One of the things she is looking to do with future content releases of the same nature is to find a more balanced way for an in-depth story to be told to players who want it, without having to bog down those players who do not.
We jumped backed to talk about the (comparatively) enormous amount of voice work that was done for LoR. Thompson admitted that because of the focus on audio in the expansion, a majority of her work became script-writing for the actors who portrayed the various roles. She credits Cryptic's audio team and contractors who provide the voice actors and direction with helping the project. As the LoR launch date approached, it wasn't uncommon for her to be in the audio booth during the day as lines were being recorded and then at her desk until late at night while she wrote the scripts for the following day's sessions.
I asked Thompson the following question, which was sent in by multiple readers: There seems to be quite few references to Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels in the Legacy of Romulus material -- did Thompson write those into LoR intentionally? Thompson unabashedly admitted that the Rihannsu tales are her favorite Star Trek novels and that she had always wanted to incorporate several of Duane's ideas about Romulan culture into the game. She was thrilled to be able to do so when she was informed that the team would be working on Romulan-focused material.
In fact, the idea to move forward with making the Romulan Republic the new faction in the game came from long discussions the team had at the onset of the LoR creative meetings. Since most players tend to want to play a hero as opposed to a villain, the decision was made to focus on the Romulan Republic. However, Thompson doesn't feel that the Romulans have lost their wily ways by any means.
We discussed briefly a mission called Mind Games, in which (I'm not giving away too many spoilers for those who haven't yet played the new Romulan content) the player's character is forced to undergo brain-washing procedures. Thompson informed me that the new Lead Content Designer, Charles Gray, was responsible for its creation; she called the mission one of the "master-craft works" in the game.
What about the Federation content? Did the success of the LoR expansion, along with the new Klingon and Romulan tutorials, give rise a revamp of the tutorial for the Federation faction? While at the time Thompson was hesitant to admit that she was working on such a project, we have since been informed that work on a new Federation tutorial is currently underway!
With that in mind, I asked Thompson -- under the pretense that a revamped Federation tutorial was in the works -- whether she thought she would have a difficult time incorporating a more personal tale into a Federation tale than she did with the Romulans and even the Klingons. She reminded me that she has often received complaints about bridge officer dialogue, but as to what will or won't appear in any future Federation tutorial revamp, she simply wasn't sure.
Join me next week as I will finish up the summary of my great conversation with Christine Thompson as she answers a few reader questions! Until next week, live long and prosper!

The Agenda should not just...

3 | example_37566 | P-10 minimum fare tolerated for trikes
Minimum fare for tricycles-for-hire have been tolerated at times at P10 already as the plight of tricycle drivers remained unattended despite the price increases of petroleum products.
Tricycle drivers admitted some passengers would no longer mind the P2 change if they hand P10, while others would insist to get the change.
The drivers cited the worsening traffic as a factor in the increase in fuel consumption that they barely met the boundary in some days.
According to the drivers, there had been no talks yet as to the adjustment of the minimum fare in the city despite the several rounds of increases in the prices of unleaded gasoline which they use.
Unleaded gasoline in the city now reached above P40 per liter after the recent increases on January 31 and February 7.
They complained that while prices of commodities continue to increase, their income remain the same or even decrease on days where competition is tight as some commuters had already purchased private vehicles.
Oil companies increased the price of gasoline by 50 centavos per liter, diesel by 30 centavos per liter and kerosene by 30 centavos per liter on February 7.
In the preceding Tuesday, the oil companies also increased the prices of diesel by 25 centavos per liter.
On January 24, the oil companies increased the price of gasoline by 60 centavos.
The drivers said the recent price increases when they had barely felt the benefit of the rollback on January 17 wherein some oil companies adjusted the prices of gasoline by 20 centavos per liter and others by 30 centavos per liter.
The oil companies, on January 17, reduced the price of diesel by 35 centavos per liter and kerosene by 40 centavos per liter.
On January 10, the oil companies increased the price of diesel by 10 centavos per liter, but there was no movement in price of gasoline then.
Although they still have to come up with a formal request to the city government, they said officials may also take notice of that there had been more price increases than reduction in petroleum products.
All that they could rely now is the compassion of passengers who may tolerate a P10 minimum fare, without them being brought to the police station for overcharging as they also have families to feed and children to send to school.
The first round of oil price increase hit 2017 on the first workday of the year on January 3.
Oil companies then increased the prices of gasoline by 70 centavos per liter, diesel by 60 centavos per liter and kerosene by 55 centavos per liter.
As there had been more increases than rollbacks, the DyRD Inyong Alagad expressed disappointed on the government's failure to stabilize the prices of petroleum products that might have an impact on the prices of basic commodities and minimum fares for PUVs.
The oil deregulation law was gain hit, allegedly being the reason that the government now could no longer control the prices of petroleum products.
The Oil Deregulation Law or Republic Act 8479 was passed in 1998, giving the oil companies free hand with the pricing.
Also under the law, government could no longer interfere in the "export and importation of oil products, as progressive groups cited. | https://www.boholchronicle.com.ph/2017/02/12/p-10-minimum-fare-tolerated-for-trikes/ | 2021/12/01 16:11:14 | mC4 |

0 | example_32953 | Children have a natural distrust of people who are not part of their family circle. But for them to have faith in others, they need to start young. An early learning centre encourages emotional skills and engagement. Also, a child’s unexpected moments via interaction with different people can sometimes lead to frustrations and other negative emotions. It is the goal of the centre to develop the social skills of the child with the use of teachable moments without any embarrassment or punishment.
Have you ever heard of kids who take a step on to the school premises on the first day, then refuse to come back the day after? Some of those kids are scared of a big group of kids, and some are terrified of their teachers. So getting them into a kids early learning centre at an early age eliminates the possibility of crying sessions after the first school day. The children learn to nurture social relationships with the people around them – teachers and classmates included.
A kids learning centre also has highly trained staff that can assess the individual needs of the children they handle. From there, they can customise the learning program of a child. They see his existing skills, and they know if he is ready to learn a new one. | https://noonfilms.com/the-expats-soundtrack | 2021-02-26T13:09:05Z | OSCAR-2109 |

If you've never been to see these falls, you should go. They are gorgeous.
We decided to make a quick stop to see them since we were going to hit Portland's rush hour as we were driving home.
Here is what Porter thought:
...on the first bridge
...near the second bridge.
As you saw, he became more comfortable. In fact, it got to the point where he wasn't even paying attention to the waterfalls anymore...but to my necklace!
Ball! Oh joy!
On the way back down, Porter didn't even want to be held!
In fact, he kept running away!
Every corner we got to, he wanted to go back up...or the opposite way...
I think this was the longest walk he's ever done...especially since he did parts of it twice.
We eventually made it back to the car...
With a little encouragement from our side.
So, from all of us and some random lady at Multnomah...

I can't believe I didn't take any pictures this Father's Day! What a slacker I've become...
We were still in Twin for Father's Day. Seth enjoyed a very relaxing day...he only had to change one diaper. I'd say that's a pretty good gift! I also got him two cute cards. I'll have to scan those and put them on here...one was signed by the cuteness himself...I'll definitely have to add those later.
I sure hope every Father out there got to have a great Father's day! Especially ours! Loves!

I was lucky enough to spend my birthday in Twin Falls with my cute family and friends! I haven't been home for my birthday for three years. It was very nice.
It started off with hanging out with two of my favorite people ever, Chelsea and Kellie. We went to the mall like old times. It was awesome and I got some pretty sweet shirts and jewelry.
Mom and Missy made my cake...Love it!
Porter wanted to help me blow out the candles...Seth got a great open-mouthed pic...
The whole time we were in Twin, Porter loved playing with the Rockband Mic...
I think he wanted to have me sing in it most...It was too cute.

Jensen Family Reunion 2009
Seth and I went to the Jensen Family Reunion in St. Anthony, Idaho. We stayed at a place called Great Peaks Lodge. It was a really great place to stay because it had a bunch of things for the kids to do inside, and since it was rainy most of the time we were there, this was perfect!
This room is where most of the kids spent their time...big and little kids.
Porter loved this bike...
In fact, if we couldn't find him, this was usually where he ran off to!
My kid is so cute...
the goose egg on his little face is from falling down a concrete stair at the awesome house in Boise, poor kid.
Porter and his second cousin, Lance, played very well together as well. It was always so cute to watch.
We also went shooting...I was the only girl :) It was kinda nice being the only girl with a bunch of Jensen gentlemen. I had a lot of "gentlemanly" help while going through the bushes and shooting the gun. I felt very special.
Seth's a pro and hit practically every one of his. This was my second time going and I hit 6 out of 10...not too bad :)
Seth let the little ones shoot his 22 so they could shoot guns too.
After we were all done, the guys when out and gathered the clay pidgeons we missed...
As you can see, there were a lot.
We actually filled a whole other box worth!
We had a great time with the family! We miss you guys already...especially Porter does...

My sister, Savanna, was house-sitting a home in Boise when we were coming down to Idaho for a Jensen Family Reuion, so we decided to house-sit with her...and here is why:
This house is AMAZING! Talk about dream house, people. I took pictures for future reference... ^.^
This house is huge. It has: two kitchens (one up one down), three dishwashers, two fridges, a ton of cabinet space not being used, a theatre room...
...an indoor gym...
...heated pool, exercise house, jacuzzi...
...huge room for music performances (Vanna is their daughter's violin teacher), a backyard with a whole soccer field, a toddler play area under the steps, a huge master bedroom with the biggest bathroom I've ever seen and a HUGE walk-in closet that goes around a corner, three kids rooms that all have their own bathroom and walk-in closets, a hidden panic room where they keep a source for music that plays all over the house, vaccums in the walls that connect to a huge house vaccum...I could keep going!
A little to big for me, but it has definitely given me lots of ideas!
It was so much fun to stay in for two nights!

We took Porter to the doctor, and Dr. {M} diagnosed him with baby eczema, and suggested we use Aveno baby soaps and lotions while bathing him. We were already using the baby detergents.
So, we started using Aveno, and Porter continued to look like this:
Red blotches not as noticeable, but there's some on his forehead and he constantly had little bumps all over his little body that you can't see...but they're there. They just never turned pink.
I asked Dr. {M} if this was normal for eczema, and she said yes.
So, I thought, since community washers are used by so many people, not all the soap that is irritable to Porter's skin is going to be washed out. Maybe that's why he still gets breakouts. We should get a portable washer and dryer!
I looked off craigslist for a portable washer and dryer and found these beauties:
A washer that connects to a sink and a dryer that works from a regular outlet. Perfect! Plus, the people selling them lived at the {GG} Apartments we were moving into! Even more perfect!
We moved into the {GG} apartment and moved these right on in with us.
Porter started looking like this:
Even less blotches! Nothing on his back and he rarely broke out. Problem solved!...or at least mostly averted.
Now, after we moved in to the {GG} Apartments, we have had the owners, the maintenance, and the managers in at least 8 times before the most recent time. And, they saw the washer and dryer and never said a word to us about them.
The manager and the maintenance man came in for a "quarterly inspection." It just so happened that I was doing laundry that day, and the washer was connected to the sink. (When I did the wash, it took about at day and a half if it was big, but when I was done, Seth would push the washer back into the third bedroom.) The maintenance man saw the washer, looked right at me, and said, "you can't have that." Um, what? "It says in the rules that you signed that you can't have any appliances in the apartment." What? I think I'm going to check that. "Okay, you do that, but you can't have those."
I was totally taken aback, and, truthfully, upset. So, I looked at the house rules sheet they gave us and this is what it says: Appliances cannot be added to or removed from the apartment.
Well, these are portable, so they're not added to the apartment. We're not breaking any rules.
Seth came home at this point, and I told him the situation. He went over to the manager and the regional manager, {K}, and told them, The washer and dryer aren't added to the apartment. They're portable like a TV or a microwave. But the argument didn't "work." So, he told them the reason we had them at all, which was because of Porter's skin condition. When Seth told {K} that, she said, "Well, why didn't you say that in the first place? Write a letter to the owners explaining that, get insurance on them, and I bet you'll be able to keep them."
About a month later, we were called back into the office and given a form for Dr. {M} to sign. We took it to her, and she said she couldn't legally sign it because Porter's skin condition cannot be labeled as the "disability" the form required. But, because Dr. {M} wanted us to keep the W and D since it helped Porter, she wrote a note to the owners that said that.
We came back to the office with that note, and {K} told us, "The note isn't good enough. You can't keep the W and D unless the doctor checks the two boxes on the form saying Porter has a disability and she recommends we change our policy to accommodate it. After the form is signed and checked, then we would want her note explaining." Why are you adding things every time we come in? "We're not. It's been this way the whole time"
Well, we would like to speak to the owners, please. "You can't. You can only go through me." We would like to speak to them so we can explain Porter's health in our words (we thought maybe {K} thought we were pulling their legs) "I don't care about the health of your son. Get the form signed and checked, get the doctor's note, and you can keep them."
And now, I will take a break so I don't go on my rampage.
We waited until Porter's 15 month appointment to bring it up with Dr {M} again. This time, we were wondering if what Porter had was really eczema. Every other child we've seen with eczema looked similar to each other, but not to Porter. They didn't get little bumps, just redness, so we thought maybe he had some form of a contact dermatitis. She stuck to her eczema...checked only one box of the form, and signed it. I'm glad she signed it, but it wasn't good enough because she didn't check both boxes.
So, we didn't even turn it in, and we posted our W and D on Craigslist, giving up hope.
And now, Porter's got a major breakout all over his body...and I don't think I've ever disliked someone so much before in my entire life.
But, I'm trying to let it go. Especially since I can't do anything else about it.

This is a preview for "New Moon." It is fan-made, and makes me excited to see it. (Still not obsessed, but excited) I have to say, though, Jacob...wow. That is all. Haha.

Sooo, I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging for a while...
Well, nothing really happened until the garage sale we were a part of last Saturday.
We sold a whopping $3 worth of stuff, but I had a good opportunity to try to sell some crafts :)
Got the idea from my cute cousin who has some similar characters in her boy's room. I will do the whole alphabet...anyway...
I also made a few hand-embroidery items...which I don't have pictures of at the moment...so will post those later.
I decided to start my own "business" of sorts and sell my art and crafts. As soon as I get everything from home, I'll post those on my other blog as well as a way to purchase these if you like :)
You're welcome to go check them out!
Porter had a quick stomach flu bug last week and a doctor's appointment. The flu was a few days long, which was hard on us, but he's definitely bigger! 98% in his head...26 ish % weight...60 something % height. I should write it down next time, but I definitely remember the 98% head. Crazy.
Tooth 15 and 16 have arrived.
Porter says: balloon, ball, please (said this for a while but I dont think I told you)
He has his own jibberish he speaks all the time...loves reading books.
He's caught the ball a few times while playing catch
He's the biggest mimick there is...
Sorry this is shorter...Porter's on my lap and trying to kick the keyboard away...
PS: *more of a reminder for me than anything* I need to tell you the Washer and Dryer dilemma we had...ridiculous. Another time! | http://sethandsierrajensen.blogspot.com/2009/06/ | 2020/10/27 06:20:34 | mC4 |

Saints Row 5, the tentative name for the new Saints Row game in development, has been seemingly delayed. The news comes way of Embracer Group, the parent company of Deep Silver and THQ Nordic. The company notes in its latest earnings call that it was planning to release two AAA games this fiscal year, which ends in March 2021. However, these two titles have been delayed. The pair of games are now scheduled to release the next fiscal year, which begins on April 1, 2021, and runs until March 31, 2022.
In the earnings report -- which can be found here -- the two titles in question are not mentioned, but it's believed that one of them is the new Saints Row. We know the new installment in the popular crime series is scheduled to be revealed this year, and many assumed its release wouldn't be that far behind considering it's been in development for a few years.
However, when mentioning why it expects substantial growth this fiscal year, Embracer name drops many of the upcoming games from its portfolio, but not Saints Row, seemingly confirming it's not releasing this fiscal year, which in turns gives more weight to it being one of the two games now delayed to next fiscal year.
"We expect substantial growth in the current financial year driven by a large number of high-quality releases, for which we are excited to the reception among gamers", said the company. "This growth will be underpinned by recent and upcoming new game releases such as Biomutant, Chorus, Deep Rock Galactic, Destroy all Humans!, Iron Harvest, MotoGP 20, Ride 4, Snowrunner, Wasteland 3, WWE2K Battlegrounds and a host of other titles that have not yet started their marketing campaigns."
"Looking into the next financial year ending March 31 2022, we expect continued organic growth driven by further increase in the value of completed games including the first AAA games releases since Metro Exodus. From this year on we expect to have AAA releases every year."
There's been no official word of when Saints Row 5 will release, but again, we know it will be revealed this year. That said, it looks like we will need to wait until sometime next year or possibly until early 2022 to play the game. | https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/saints-row-5-release-date-delayed/ | 2021/12/04 20:56:46 | mC4 |
