Whether you've landed your first job or you are just starting college, you probably need a laptop. Don't be intimidated because you don't understand them. When you have the right know-how, it is easy to find the right laptop. Keep reading to find out more.
Look at home shopping networks to find some great laptop deals. These sites offer monthly payment plans with no credit check. Your monthly payment may be as low as 100 dollars.
Take a look at the different convertible laptops available today, before you make any concrete plans to buy both a tablet and a laptop computer. If you were to buy both of these things together, convertible laptops are basically like a tablet mixed with a laptop, and this option is a lot cheaper than.
Before going shopping, it's important to decide on a budget. When thinking about how much you're wanting to spend, you have to figure out which kind of laptop you'd like to buy. Are you more of a Mac fan instead of a PC? Macs offer the latest in graphics technology making them perfect for those who work in a graphics rich environment.
The weight of a laptop should be considered when making a purchase. Carrying a heavy laptop will take a toll on your shoulders and back, so try going with a lighter one if you must carry it with you frequently. Lighter no longer means a more costly machine. However, battery life may be sacrificed.
Think about the work you do when buying a laptop. That will help determine how much money you'll need to spend. For example, a graphic designer will need a higher pixel resolution than someone who only uses the computer to surf the net. Once you assess what you plan to do with the laptop, you will have a better feel for what you should spend.
When purchasing a laptop, consider spending just a bit more than you originally considered. Rapid advances in technology make cheaper models obsolete in short order. A slight increase can make your laptop last for several years.
There should be a few USB ports on your laptop. USB ports are easily overlooked but remain quite important. Many people like to hook up a mouse and speakers, and a phone charger. Four would be perfect, but the more you have, the more flexibility you achieve.
Remember to include accessories in your laptop budget. You will likely want a carrying case. You may want a spare mouse. The price can add up. Look on the Internet before buying anything to see if you can get a budget together for everything.
If you will only be using a laptop for browsing the Internet, consider purchasing a tablet. Tablets are great for downloading apps. You can connect your tablet to a keyboard so that you'll be able to send emails, take notes, or do school work.
The screen display is the most power intensive part of a laptop. It eats battery life for lunch. But you can lessen the battery drain by lessening the brightness of the display. Alter your laptop's dimming display in order to give your battery more life than ever before.
In order to get the most life out of your battery, try to keep your screen brightness as low as you can tolerate. Display screens drain the battery from any laptop, and therefore you can alleviate the issue by setting it to a dimmer level. Look in the Control Panel to adjust the settings.
A lot of the newer laptop models do not include disk drives. Since a lot of users are now getting their media content via online streaming, this makes sense for them. If you need a DVD player, you should make sure the laptop has one.
To get to your most often used programs quickly, use the 'pin' feature for easy access. It will pin the program to the Start bar. Just find the appropriate shortcut, use the mouse to right-click it and then select the option for pinning to the Start menu. The program icon is now in your Start menu permanently instead of your "All Programs" folder.
Now that you're more knowledgeable, you can purchase and use a laptop more comfortably. Use the things you've gone over here and getting a laptop is an experience that you'll enjoy. You will be able to use your laptop for quite some time. You also now know what to look for when it comes time to replace it.

seems the branching has confused some script mightily.
i think branching has been more trouble than its worth, unfortunately.

Includes its characterful drivers and owners, some with life stories worthy of a movie script.
This Alfa Romeo Monza book is about a specific car '2211130' that was built in 1933. It was raced that year by the Hon Brian Lewis and won the arduous Mannin Moar race on the Isle of Man. The car continued to be raced until the war by John Cobb (1934), Luis Fontes (1935), Anthony Powys-Lybbe (1936–37) and Fay Taylour (1938), at venues as diverse as Vila Real (Portugal) and Phoenix Park (Ireland). Post-war, it passed through several significant collectors to arrive at its status today as one of the more important surviving Monzas, and a car with so much charisma and historic interest that it is a most worthy addition to the acclaimed ‘Great Cars’ series.
The 1933 season with the Hon Brian Lewis, including wins on début at Brooklands and in its next race, the Mannin Moar, plus sixth place in the Nice Grand Prix.
Bought in 1934 by John Cobb (later to become notable for speed record-breaking on land and water) and raced both by him and Charlie Dodson, who finished second in the Mannin Moar.
Another new owner for 1935, Luis Fontes (something of a ‘wild man’ who also raced aeroplanes) took the car back to the Mannin Moar, where he finished third, and won the Limerick Grand Prix.
The period with Anthony Powys-Lybbe (a fascinating character who was extensively involved with Alfa Romeos) brought more good results, especially in Ireland, with second places in the Cork Grand Prix in 1936 and 1937.
More racing at Brooklands in 1938 with Fay Taylour (a champion speedway rider whose Fascist links led to her internment during the Second World War).
Post-war, a succession of notable owners included Peter Hampton, the Hon. Patrick Lindsay and Hubert Fabri, all passionate collectors and men of significance.
Nearly 300 period photographs, many previously unpublished, supported by a portfolio of commissioned special photography at Brooklands.
Mick Walsh’s passion for Alfa Romeo 8Cs was sparked aged 10, when the Hon. Patrick Lindsay, driving ‘2211130’, blasted past his father’s car en route to VSCC Silverstone in 1967. As the long-serving Editor-in-Chief of Classic & Sports Car, Mick has driven and written about many great 8Cs, including co-driving a Touring Spider on the Monte Carlo Rallye Historique and testing a Monza in the Alps after the Klausen hillclimb. As organiser of the Louis Vuitton Concours and the Cartier Style et Luxe, he has created two 8C tributes where ‘221130’ was among the winners.

It can be all consuming. Have you thinking you are going crazy, which is just another thing to worry about.
I want you to know, if you have a tendency to imagine the worst and consider every possible outcome of something in the future, you are not on your own.
Worry is one of the most common problems my clients come to me with. In this post I am going to share with you some of the most effective tools for worry. However, an important element of overcoming worry is understanding it, so I encourage you to read on and learn about worry in more detail. In this case, knowledge really is power.
Worry is an anxious state you find yourself in when you are uncertain about a problem that is real or imagined.
Worry can actually be the thought pattern of anxiety as well as the behaviour.
The thoughts, because it is that inner dialogue going on inside your mind.
The behaviour, because you might find yourself spending time worrying rather than doing anything else or the task at hand.
In short, humans don’t like uncertainty. Which is a shame really, because uncertainty is about the only thing we can be certain about in this life.
In order to try and give yourself the feeling of control, you consider all the negative outcomes, all in an attempt to try and reduce the stress around uncertainty.
Client’s often tell me they worry in order to prepare. As I will explain, there is some slight truth in this, however(!!), there is a line. When worry becomes frequent, intense and time consuming, it loses it’s charm. I’m guessing if you are reading this, it has got to the point where worry is unhelpful for you and a change is necessary.
When is Worry a Good Thing?
A certain level of worry can be good for us. I mean, I certainly wouldn’t want to teach you to have no concern for your well-being, future or others at all.
Worry can be the motivator you need to book that doctors appointment, revise for that exam or step away from the edge of that cliff.
So, what I’m saying is, some worry is OK and in fact, it’s normal. Certainly, the job here is not to get rid of worry.
When is Worry a Problem?
Worry becomes a problem when it takes up your head space, time and leads to longer periods of stress and anxiety. Perhaps you are unable to carry out daily activities, focus on mundane tasks and experience a change in physiology (such as heart palpitations and sweaty palms).
In all honestly, whilst worry is common, how it effects you will be different to the next. So if this something you struggle with, you are the expert. In fact, I strongly encourage you to complete this sentence ‘worry is a problem for me when…’, identifying this will highlight why this is something you need to change, especially if you are someone who sees only the good in worry.
What you Need to Know About Worry?
I have already highlighted a key point that worry can be necessary when proportionate.
Worry tends to be future based, people often describe that things can start off as one problem and very quickly spiral to worst case scenarios and feel out of control.
There are two types of worry.
Practical Worries – These are worries that you can do something about. For example “my car is making a funny noise, I’m concerned about what that could be”. The good thing about these worries is you can do something, the problem with these worries is when you put them off and don’t do anything to solve it.
Hypothetical Worries – These are worries you cannot do anything about and that might not happen. They tend to be worst case scenarios and ‘what if’ based. “My car is making a funny noise, what if I can’t afford to get it fixed and then I won’t be able to get to work, what if I have to get the train and I am late and my boss gets mad and I get fired and I can’t pay my rent…”.
It’s important to understand the two types, because many people try to deal with them in the same way. When actually, they require different interventions to each other.
For example, you might find yourself trying to find the solution for hypothetical worries and let go of practical worries, which is unlikely to be useful.
Which type of worry can you relate to?
If you’re not sure, it would be beneficial for you to keep a record of your worries for a week and see which category you tend to fall in. Do not panic if some are mixed, that’s totally normal.
To help you further identify you type of worry, have a look at this Worry Tree.
I am going to give you some brief tips on overcoming worry. However, I am conscious that when you are overwhelmed with worry it can be tough to make these changes on your own. If you give these tools a go and you struggle, do not give up. You can change, you are not stuck like this or destined to worry for the rest of your life.
Given the fact many people believe worry helps them to stay in control, you may experience some reluctance to want to change, be mindful of this getting your way and remind yourself of why you said it has become a problem for you (think like a PROs and CONs list).
If you try self-help and it isn’t enough, seek support. Contact me HERE or speak to your GP. It’s fine to get some guidance along the way, it’s common and it is often needed.
Tool 1: Change your inner dialogue.
This is my number one tool. I change the conversation with myself. There are different questions you can ask yourself that might take away some of the intensity. I have listed some below, find the ones that work for you, write them down and when you find youself in a spiral, ank yourself these questions.
‘Will this matter in 5 days time? 5 weeks? 5 years?’.
Remind yourself of your strength to overcome difficulties and challenges. So far you have got through everything that has come your way, why would this situation be any different.
When we worry, we overestimate how bad something will be and underestimate our abilities to cope. Remind yourself you will cope. As, when, if it happens, you will cope.
Trying repeating this matra ‘I can cope’. See what happens.
When you are worrying, your thoughts are stuck in the future. Wondering what might be. When you are present and focused on the here and now, you will see you are coping the best you can. You are ok. Try these grounding techniques to help you with your anxious thinking.
This one takes some real commitment. The idea is you schedule a set time in your day or week to worry. I know it sounds counter intuitive but trust me, people who worry 24/7 really tend to like this one.
When you catch yourself worrying, you simply note it down and remind yourself you will return to it later. During Worry time, allow yourself to worry about it and you can ask this questions from Tool 1.
This is useful is you have a a reoccurring worry you know there is nothing you can do about, and you have taken the learning you need. I say that because it is not about brushing problems under the carpet.
Do something that you enjoy and that can distract you for periods of time. It’s OK if it doesn’t last long, train yourself to refocus your attention each time.
It’s easy to spend time worrying instead of actually doing the things you can control. If you have a practical worry, look at your different options and take action. If your first try doesn’t work out, try again. Taking action will reduce the anxiety for you.
There you have some of the key tools used to manage worry. As you will notice, each one does need you to do something new. If you are serious about breaking this cycle, you have to take action.
You can do it. Practice daily and take it easy on yourself.
Let me know what you are thinking of trying in the comments below.

The blood reduced glutathione (GSH)/GSH disulfide (GSSG) ratio is an index of the oxidant/antioxidant balance of the whole body. Nevertheless, data indicating GSH and GSSG physiological levels are still widely divergent, especially those on GSSG, probably due to its low concentration. Standardization in methodological protocols and sample manipulation could help to minimize these discrepancies. Therefore, we have investigated how plasma reduced GSH, which is rapidly oxidized after blood withdrawal, could alter the blood GSSG measurement if the sample is not suitably processed. We have observed that an increase in plasma GSH concentration, due to red blood cell hemolysis, is responsible for a significant overestimation of blood GSSG level. Our results show that, before performing blood GSSG determination, thiols have to be rapidly blocked, to avoid possible pitfalls in GSSG measurement, in particular when hemolysis is present.

Rosemary Menkens (LNP) since 2004.
Burdekin is a mixed north Queensland electorate that stretches along the Bruce Highway and the Coast from Bowen to the southern suburbs of Townsville. It also stretches inland to take in the mining town of Collinsville. The electorate is centred on the agricultural areas around Ayr-Home Hill, but also includes the outskirts of Townsville, taking in built up areas south and east of the Ross River including Wulguru and the Lavarack Army Barracks.
First created in 1950, Burdekin was held by Independent Arthur Coburn from 1950 until his retirement in 1969. The seat was then a safe National Party seat, held by Val Bird 1969-83 and Mark Stoneman from 1983 to 1998 when the seat fell to One Nation's Jeff Knuth. Like all the One Nation MPs, Knuth left the party during his term, contesting the 2001 election for the City Country Alliance. Knuth finished in third place, at least having the solace of outpolling the new One Nation candidate, but with 60% of One Nation and City Country Alliance preferences exhausting, the Labor Party's Steve Rodgers surprisingly became Burdekin's first Labor MP. Rodgers' victory was entirely due to optional preferential voting, polling only 36.7% of the first preference vote compared to a combined 63.3% for his three conservative opponents.
In 2004, Rodgers retained his primary vote, but stronger flows of preferences between conservative candidates produced a 9.5% swing to the National Party, electing current MP Rosemary Menkens. Rogers contested the seat again in 2006 and achieved a 2% swing to Labor, but not enough to defeat Menkens. Burdekin had not been marginal before the 1992 redistribution, when the addition of areas on the edge of Townsville increased the seat's Labor vote. The 1999 redistribution added the Labor-voting mining town of Collinsville, and the 2008 redistribution added Bowen, turning Burdekin into a notional Labor seat again. However Menkens gained a 4% swing at the 2009 election and was easily re-elected to Parliament.
Nickson holds a Master’s degree in Social Work, is a qualified Justice of the Peace and is currently a Lecturer at James Cook University. She has lived and worked in the region for nearly 20 years and has held positions in different areas of the field of social work and been a national Board Member of the Australian Association of Social Workers. Nickson contested Mundingurra for Family First at the 2009 election and was a Senate candidate in 2010.
Zyla moved to Bowen from South Australia in 1993. She trained as a teacher and started work as a Teacher Librarian at Queens Beach State School in Bowen in 1997. She is active in the Queensland’s Teachers Union.
65 year-old Menkens worked as a director of a family farming enterprise while also finding time to raise her family. Menkens has also worked as a vocational teacher teaching business management, communications and office practice. Before her election Menkens also served as Chairman of the Burdekin College of TAFE Educational Training Advisory Group and was also involved in numerous community groups. She is currently Manager of Opposition Business and Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Northern Queensland.

Why Is The 30 Gallon Fish Tank Popular and Is It WORTH It?
Getting a 29 to 30 gallon fish tank fish tank is a great option for fish lovers who want to keep several shoals of fish in a healthy community aquarium.
This is a medium-sized fish tank and ideal for a home with small tropical fish’s. Or ideal if you have 5 different fish specimens and want them to swim together.
A long rectangular fish tank is good for both ventilation and oxygenation. Like us humans, fish need a lot of clean water and filters can be useful here. However, as there is less room in the aquarium, adding a filter can be daunting.
For this reason, long aquariums are the best choice because they have plenty of room to add filters and promote ventilation and oxygenation.
This article will give you a quick 30 gallon fish tank buying guide and consumer report. I’ll list some of the best 29 to 30 gallon fish tanks that come in all shapes and sizes.
Large Fish Tank Vs Small Fish Tank: Which Is Easier To Maintain?
Why Buy a 20 – 30 Gallon Fish Tank?
Glass or Acrylic Fish Tank?
What’s The Best Shape For A Fish Tank?
Why is The 30 Gallon Fish Tank So Popular?
Fish tanks can be purchased in various sizes. You can get them from small bowls to extremely large 200 gallon fish tanks.
However, you want to buy a tank that is the right size for your room and you want to make sure you have enough space for it. This is a rookie move but there are still many people that don’t check the 30 gallon fish tank dimensions and measurements before they buy.
The following sections will suggest and highlight what you should consider before you buy any size of gallon fish tank. This fish tank buying guide is based on the most credible consumer reports and verified customer reviews.
Most beginners are more likely to buy a small fish tank. This could be a small bowl like a basic 5-gallon fish bowl or even small tanks that come in 3, 2, 1, 1/2 gallon sizes.
Both aquariums and bowls are very easy to carry anywhere and change the water.
The small size makes it easy for daily maintenance. Also, small tanks are usually associated with lower costs.
Large 200 gallon fish tanks can actually mean less time cleaning and changing water for it to function properly. This might sound counter intuitive but the truth is that small tanks are more difficult to change than larger ones.
Yes, they are likely to be more expensive to install at the beginning and maintain. In the long term, however, maintenance costs are lower than for a smaller tank. The reason is that the filter systems are better and there are more technical features that keep the water clean, meaning fewer changes are necessary.
Bottom line: the bigger the tank, the less maintenance is required because bigger tanks have more technical features that reduce the need for maintenance.
Although larger tanks can be easier to maintain over the long term, smaller ones are better for beginners. Fish tank sizes between 20 and 30 gallons can sometimes require more work to balance the water but easy to populate.
My suggestion is always to start with at least a 30 gallon fish tank instead of a small fish bowl.
A 30 gallon fish tank means you can hold various species of beautiful fish that can not live in tiny bowls. This includes species like goldfish, sword tails, mollies, zebra danios and blue rams as they need a medium sized fish tank.
If you want some shoals of fish, then you should consider a larger 200 gallon fish tank.
The biggest difference between them both is that glass fish tanks are heavier than acrylic. However, they are also generally much cheaper.
From time to time leakages occur when using acrylic. This is normally and can usually be easily remedied with silicone sealant.
Another thing to note about acrylic aquariums is that they come in different shapes, however, they scratch a lot easier.
Also note that acrylic fish tanks are rarely filtered. This is because they consist of one piece without seams.
Although they are more expensive than glass aquariums, they last longer and scratches are superficial. Note that Scratches do not affect the way it functions – just the way it appears.
Yes, it’s true that you can buy acrylic tanks in a variety of shapes.
Everything from circle, cylindrical, hexagonal to the more traditional rectangle shapes.
The traditional long rectangular shape is probably the best. I recommend a rectangle shape because of its large surface area. Especially when compared to the water volume. The result is that it allows the maximum gas exchange with the air.
Other shapes with smaller surfaces may need more maintenance and more frequent water changes. A rectangle fish tank is much easier to maintain. It allows you to contain more fish and it’s easier to maintain water quality.
One of the best selling points of the SeaClear is its nearly invisible seams. It’s backed by the industry’s most comprehensive warranty. This makes it ideal for the most demanding aquarist.
Combination fish tank. This means the aquarium, the reflector and the electric lamp of 24″ are all included.
It’s acrylic which means that it’s lighter than glass tank alternatives.
Acrylic is 17 times stronger than glass yet nowhere as heavy as glass.
Shockproof. This means that it’s less prone to flaking and tearing than glass is.
The fact that it’s not glass means that it’s safer for children and pets.
When it comes to fish tanks, getting a 30 gallon fish tank is a great starter option. While there are many types of fish tanks available in different shapes, sizes and orientations, a long rectangular fish tank is the best of them all.
There are several reasons why 30 gallon rectangular fish tanks are so popular.
The first advantage is that long aquariums have a longer and bigger surface area. The larger surface area, the happier the fish are. This is also the space that is mainly used for decorating and adding filters.
Therefore, long aquariums can be decorated very well, as they offer more space for extra items you want to add.
Another advantage of a long rectangular 30 gallon aquarium is that there is more room for fish. In smaller tanks, only certain fish can be housed, while you can safely put a variety of fish in a long tank.
Just remember that some fish grow very fast and you might want to buy a larger 200 gallon fish tank instead. This will save you the cost and hassle of future upgrades.

TACLOBAN CITY -The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) has pushed back the completion date for the P80 million San Juanico Bridge lighting project from November 2018 to April 2019.
Oliver Cam, vice chair of the infrastructure and utilities development committee vice chair of the Regional Development Council (RDC), said TIEZA and other stakeholders agreed that completing the project on or before November 2018 is not realistic.
“There are lots of basic paper works to be done to get to the point where it is ready for implementation. There’s a need to come up with technical details, engineering design, and scope of work of the project,” Cam said.
The RDC official who represents the business sector, said TIEZA is closely coordinating with the project proponent, the Samar provincial government to carry out the project. A management board with various agencies and local government units as members, will be organized to manage the new tourism attraction.
Brett de los Santos, Samar provincial investment and trade promotions office chief, said the new target completion date is April 2019.
The plan is to light up the entire 2.16-kilometer structure.
“Once the project is complete, there would be a 10-minute light show six times nightly that may include water, light, and laser aspects. Every night, there would be six-hour park mode or static mode lights with subtle movement of lights,” de los Santos said.
The project will use light-emitting diode, one of today’s most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technologies.
Just like other shows, its colors will be in support of various events throughout the year, the lighting will also be programmed to celebrate special occasions, Tan said.
Samar’s provincial government will also build a boardwalk for a perfect view of the show and provide music. Tan encourages investors to put up shops nearby.
Samar Governor Sharee Ann Tan shared the idea on illuminating the iconic bridge to Tacloban City Mayor and RDC chair Cristina Romualdez in an effort to add vibrancy and interest to nighttime tourism.
At present, tourists can enjoy daytime activities at the San Juanico Bridge through the tour packages offered by private operator, Aquamomentum.
The bridge’s transformation would be a new attraction under the Spark Samar, a branding campaign initially launched in 2015.
Once called the Marcos Bridge, the San Juanico Bridge was built in August 1969 over the San Juanico Strait, the narrowest navigational strait in the world that separates Samar and Leyte Islands and was completed in December 1972.
The bridge that spans 2.162 km. was built as part of the Pan-Philippine Highway now called the Maharlika Highway, a network of roads, bridges, and sea routes that connect the islands of Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao.

The Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who at one time had financial ties to Paul Manafort, is suing Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and the U.S. Treasury Department over financial sanctions imposed on him amid a congressional crackdown on Russian interests over meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Deripaska says in court filings that he’s lost $7.5 billion of his net worth since he was sanctioned in early 2018. His remaining businesses are near “the brink of collapse,” with banks no longer wanting to lend to him and as he has lost business. The Russian government has also threatened to take over some of his businesses, he said in the complaint.
The Trump administration relaxed sanctions on three of Deripaska’s major companies — Rusal, EN+ Group and JSC EuroSibEnergo — after changes to their ownership structure, though Democrats in Congress have argued that Deripaska still maintains too much influence over the companies.
A spokesman for the Treasury Department said the agency “does not generally comment on pending litigation” and referred questions to the Justice Department.
His firms were swept up as part of more than 200 sanctions imposed on Russian targets by Treasury, including on Rusal, the world’s second-largest aluminum producer. The companies spent nearly eight months negotiating with Treasury to significantly reduce Deripaska’s influence in order to have sanctions lifted.
Democrats and some Republicans pushed back against the sanctions rollback because of Deripaska’s influence in the Russian power and metals industries and for his ties to Vladimir Putin.
In his suit, Deripaska rejected any link to 2016 election issues being investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller.
“There is simply no evidence Deripaska is involved in the Russian government’s activities,” he said.
Deripaska has longstanding ties to a key figure in the Mueller investigation, Trump’s former campaign chairman, Manafort, who was to 7.5 years in prison for conspiracy and other crimes.
Court filings in Mueller’s investigation showed that when FBI agents searched Manafort’s belongings for evidence related to a $10 million loan Deripaska made to Manafort. Manafort allegedly remained in debt to Deripaska for years.
Deripaska has not been charged with any crimes.
This is the second recent lawsuit filed in this court by a Russian over the U.S. government’s sanctions.

The Property Income Trust for Charities (PITCH), managed by Mayfair Capital Investment Management has sold assets in Leicester and Edinburgh for a total of £7.83m.
In Leicester, Parkway Derby who was also the sub-tenant has bought the freehold of the 34,182-sq ft Volkswagen dealership at St Margaret’s Way for £5.28m. Prior to the sale, the property was occupied by VW at an annual rent of £332,500, which equated to £9.73 per sq ft overall. The sale reflects a yield of 5.9% PITCH was advised by Chris Freer-Smith.
The 30,722-sq ft Catalyst Trade Park in Sighthill, Edinburgh, is multi-let to six occupiers including Topps Tiles and the National Trust for Scotland with a WAULT to break of just over 3 years. It produces total annual rental income of £246,460 and has been sold to a local property company, Carnoustie Ltd which is part of the Springfield Property Fund Plc, for £2.55m reflecting a yield of 9.1%. PITCH was advised by Ryden.
PITCH Fund Manager, Simon Martindale, comments: “These disposals are in line with our stated objective of recycling capital from smaller assets that have matured after a period of good performance”.
PITCH is the highest yielding of the three specialist pooled property funds designed for UK charities. It delivered a rolling yield of 6.2% for the 12 months to 30 June 2016.
The fund was launched in September 2004 and has outperformed the AREF/IPD UK All-Balanced Property Funds Index (ABPFI) over three months, six months, 12 months, 3, 5 and 10 years to 30 June 2016. It is in the Upper Quartile over 3, 6, 12 months and 5 years, and was also the equal second-best performing fund in the AREF/IPD All Balanced Funds Index in 2015 – generating a 14.6% return against the benchmark of 12.5%.
Owing to the medium to long investment horizon adopted by the underlying charity investors, the Fund has been largely unaffected by redemptions post the Brexit outcome of the referendum. No changes have been made or been proposed to the redemption provision.

the fund was launched in september 2004 and has outperformed the aref/ipd uk all-balanced property funds index (abpfi) over three months, six months, 12 months, 3, 5 and 10 years to 30 june 2016. it is in the upper quartile over 3, 6, 12 months and 5 years, and was also the equal second-best performing fund in the aref/ipd all balanced funds index in 2015 – generating a 14.6% return against the benchmark of 12.5%.
owing to the medium to long investment horizon adopted by the underlying charity investors, the fund has been largely unaffected by redemptions post the brexit outcome of the referendum. no changes have been made or been proposed to the redemption provision.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce in American Samoa are bracing themselves for increased costs but support the government in its revenue raising efforts.
The territory is facing a projected 7.2 million US dollar shortfall in the payroll from reduced excise, individual and corporate taxes in an effort to stave off a reduction in work hours for government employees or cutting staff numbers.
The chamber's chairman, David Whitby, says either way, it will mean further increases for many businesses which have been struggling over the past year to recover from the 2009 September tsunami, and the economic impact of reduced cannery operations and an increased minimum wage.
But he says it's time to collectively move forward and be positive.
"If we can look to the future and what we are looking for is whatever decision is made it's going to bring some pain, it's going to bring some hurt. It is a very difficult time for the government to have to make these measures, but we hope that they come along at a good pace, that it doesnt keep delaying decisions, whichever way we go, so that the territory, the government, the businesses can work together to look towards the future."

Touch is the first sense to develop. According to some researchers, touch is the sense that “educates” vision and hearing. It is how we associate tangible ideas with the distance senses of vision and hearing. We could be looking at something that we know is “soft,” but the only reason we really KNOW this, is because we have touched it or something like it, and thus learned the concept of “soft.” Vision didn’t teach us this.
The topic is not a typical one in the world of athletics. How often are these men and women asked to explore the meaning of masculinity – and to discuss what “healthy masculinity” might look like?
TRI is proud to announce the publication of the article "Re-conceptualizing developmental areas of assessment for screening, eligibility determination and program planning in early intervention" in the Journal of Intellectual Disabilities. This is a special issue on Early Intervention.
CRIEI is a biannual, multidisciplinary conference created by researchers, specifically for researchers in early intervention (birth-8). It is a unique 2½-day meeting focusing on methodological advances, research in progress, innovative approaches to combining methodologies, issues in conducting research, and controversial topics related to interventions with young children with disabilities or those at risk for developmental delays and their families.
This presentation will discuss the evaluation of a state-wide mentoring program that demonstrates increases in student learning and growth, improvement in instructional practices, and retention of effective teachers and administrators.

What Next After Presidential Apology on Bududa?
We all know that the executive delivered an apology over the Bududa mayhem and the line minister threatened to resign, but what exactly went wrong with the relocation program that was started over eight years ago? Sabiti joseph explores the story behind actions in the office of the prime minister that led to loss of lives and what appears a possible corruption scandal about to come to the surface.

This volunteer led project collects memories and reminiscences from people with a connection to the North Tyneside area about 20th Century life and times as they recall it. These memories are published on a website, www.memoriesnorthtyneside.org.uk. The project began in 1995 and since then has grown into a fantastic resource of over 1000 individual reminiscences, images and sound files covering every conceivable aspect of life in the area.
The work is currently supported by The Northern Rock Foundation and North Tyneside Library Service and we are very grateful for their confidence in what we do.
Following the success of our work to add sound clips to some of our published memories we’ve moved on to review our image archive and add two new features. The first of these is a ‘Special Collection’ feature which allows usto focus in more depth on a particular area or subject. More importantly it means we can celebrate the contribution of some individuals who have given us a significant amount of material on a range of different subjects. The second feature is a ‘work in progress’ and allows us to record some contemporary local history. During 2012 our photographer, Ernest Storey, is photographing images of all aspectsof local life in North Tyneside. You can see the results to date on out website, www.memoriesnorthtyne.org.uk, and more images are being added right through the year. We’re already thinking about how to use this material – front runner at present is a calendar for 2013!
This work couldn’t happen without the skill and dedication of our volunteers, and in the process we also have huge fun, meeting new people and making new friends. If you’d like to join us why not email admin@memoriesnorthtyne.org.uk to find out more.

When searching for the right size bat, it is important to pay more attention to the bat’s swing weight than the weight printed on the bat. Unfortunately, most swing weights are not widely available as most manufacturers only print the stated weight. To find your true bat size, be sure to consider the following.
Bats with the same stated weight will feel very different when hitting because weight distribution affects how a bat feels more than the actual weight of the bat.
Think of a sledge hammer. Imagine swinging a sledge hammer by holding the handle. It feels heavy. It is difficult to get the heavy head of the tool around. Now, turn the sledge hammer around and hold the sledge piece in your hands. Swing it again. With the heavy piece in your hands, the sledge hammer is much easier to swing.
While the total weight of the object did not change, the experience swinging it was completely different. It is the same with two identically weighted bats. How the manufacturer distributes the weight is essential to consider when selecting a bat and weight distribution is impossible to tell if all you care about is the bat’s total weight.
This concept, that the power to swing a bat depends on how the weight is distributed within the bat, is referred to as the physics principle of swing weight. Each bat has a unique swing weight and will be easier or more difficult to get through the zone depending on its swing weight and the player swinging the bat. Hitters need to find a swing weight that gives them maximum force and swing speed. A sledge hammer could do some damage at the plate, but if your eight-year-old can’t get it to the ball in time, it is not the right fit.
The good news is, you don’t need to be a physicist to buy the right sized bat. You simply need to understand that bats with the same scale weight can swing quite differently. In most cases the swing weight between two bats can be upwards of 10 to 15% different within the same scale weight.
The fact that swing weight is not very well correlated with total bat weight makes bat size charts less useful. Granted, most size charts can get within a stone's throw of the right bat size for you. But, suggesting a 31/21 based your height or age or weight only puts you in a category of 21-ounce bats that might feel considerably different among each other.
Calculating the actual swing weight of a bat is not simple. To get an accurate number requires equipment not readily available to the average baseball or softball player. However, there a few general tricks we’ve picked up along the way that can help.
After measuring hundreds of bats’ balance points over the last five years, we see a correlation between balance point and swing weight. If you want to know how one bat feels compared to another, simply measure the balance point. In most cases, bats with a balance point more toward the end cap also have a heavier swing weight.
In fact, when deciding between two bats that have the same scale weight, the one with the balance point closer to the end cap will almost always have the higher swing weight.
Often, manufacturers do a decent job of notifying customers about the bat’s load. Words like “loaded” and “power” tend to mean a heavier swing weight (or more of the bat’s weight is distributed toward the end cap). Words like “balanced” and “speed” tend to mean a bat with a light swing weight. You can often find the company’s intention of swing weight in the description of the bat, too.
This isn’t a fool proof classification across brands, as there is no enforced standard as to what ‘loaded’ and ‘balanced’ might mean. But, it is a decent way to see how bats swing compared to others within the same brand.
DeMarini, as one example, separates their end loaded and balanced bats into categories called Insane and Zen. Easton often uses phrases like XL and Speed.
In more recent years, some companies started putting their swing index on the bat. Easton put them toward their end cap in the 2018 BBCOR models and Slugger put them on their website for 2019.
This may be too obvious to point out, but do note that two bats with the same stated weight of different lengths will likely swing differently than each other. The longer one almost always has a heavier swing.
A 32/20 drop 12 USA bat almost always swings heavier than a 30/20. Again, both bats weigh 20-ounces, but the longer bat likely has a balance point more toward the end cap.
If all of this sounds too complicated, then the good news is this: most bats with the same category swing no more than 15% differently than each other. Meaning, if you were to solely use a bat chart for the right size, then you’ll be within the ball park, so to speak.
This is also why we suggest you buy from places online that allow for free returns (like baseballexpress.com). You don’t need to take the wrapper off a bat (or hit with it) to know if it’s the right swing weight for you. When you get the bat, just take a few air hacks. If it feels between good and alright, then it will likely work fine. However, if it feels more like swinging a sledge hammer from either end—either difficult to get the barrel around, slow to get the bat through the zone, or like it's going to fly out of your hand, it's so light—it may not be the right fit for you.
