SingleMomtism: A Waterpark That Includes Special-Needs Kids? Meet Morgan's Inspiration Island!
Morgan's Inspiration Island is a disability friendly amusement park and waterpark that features several levels of accommodation, and even features air-powered waterproof wheelchairs for its guests! It is a recent addition to Morgan's Wonderland, an amusement park built with the goal of inclusion for all.
The park is an amazing gift for these kids, made possible by generous gifts from people who care. Please consider making a donation - parks like these are a rare and wonderful thing, and they mean so much to kids who sit on the sidelines way too often. | 2019-04-19T09:12:36 | http://www.singlemomtism.com/2017/06/a-waterpark-that-includes-special-needs.html |
A paralysed man who heads to the High Court today to seek the right to die is at the centre of an extraordinary social media campaign to persuade him to change his mind.
Less than a week after Wiltshire father Tony Nicklinson posted his first comments on Twitter , many thousands of people from around the world are following his plight on the micro-blogging site.
The 58-year-old suffers from "locked-in syndrome" since a severe stroke seven years ago and can communicate only by moving his eyelids.
Mr Nicklinson argues that his life is "dull, miserable, demeaning, undignified and intolerable" and is seeking legal protection for any doctor who helps him end his life.
Since signalling his determination to die and seeking comments on Twitter, strangers have bombarded him with pro-life messages.
Many others have expressed support for the father of two grown daughters, from Melksham.
In March, he won the right to take his case to the High Court and is seeking to make legal history by challenging the Government over the right to die.
On June 13 he posted his first tweet: "Hello world. I am tony nicklinson, I have locked-in syndrome and this is my first ever tweet."
He communicates through a specially-adapted computer which records blinks and tiny head movements.
Within hours he received many replies of sympathy and support. But others urged him to change his mind.
One wrote: "I do believe in miracles and will pray for you. God will heal you one day. God bless you, He loves you so very much."
Another wrote: "I would hate to see you depart this world without fully exploring all you can do."
Some campaign groups have expressed concern at the outspoken nature of some of the comments.
A spokesman for Dignity in Dying said they hoped Twitter users would be respectful of Mr Nicklinson, even if they do not agree with him.
Tony Nicklinson's wife Jane said he had no intention of changing his mind.
Before today's hearing he issued a statement saying: "I'm delighted that the issues surrounding assisted dying are to be aired in court. I need help in almost every aspect of my life. I cannot scratch if I itch, I cannot pick my nose if it is blocked and I can only eat if I am fed like a baby - only I won't grow out of it, unlike the baby."
His legal action aims to seek a court declaration that a doctor could intervene to end his life and have a common law defence of "necessity".
The case differs to previous attempts to amend the law on assisted suicide, like the case of multiple sclerosis sufferer Debbie Purdy, who won a clarification of prosecution policy where someone assists a terminally-ill person to die.
Mr Nicklinson's paralysis is so severe that he cannot simply be assisted to take his own life and he would have to be killed by someone.
Earlier this year, an independent commission on assisted dying concluded for the first time that certain people should be helped to die. But this applies only to those who are terminally ill and are able to take the final action to end their lives themselves - which excludes Mr Nicklinson. | 2019-04-25T03:55:14 | http://politicsuk-newsheadline.blogspot.com/2012/06/twitter-campaign-over-right-to-die-case.html |

A dear reader, Tracy, asked a question about how we use Teaching Textbooks in our homeschool.
Hi Tracy, I understand the need to be in many places at once as a homeschool mom. Especially when it comes to math!
For the 2013-2014 year with our five children we are currently using Saxon Math for kindergarten and 2nd grade as well as Teaching Textbooks Math 6, Algebra I and Geometry.
We use Saxon Math through 2nd grade then switch to TT. Saxon has offered that basic grounding in the mathematical operations and learning multiplication.
We used Saxon Math through 6th grade with my older two then switched to Teaching Textbooks with them. Oh hooray for Teaching Textbooks! The earlier grades were not available for my eldest two children at that age.
The earliest we have used TT is 3th grade – with my fourth child.
I don’t have any experience with A Beka math though I have heard it is very thorough.
I have heard about the criticisms about TT. However, my older two struggled with math in middle school until we found TT. It was truly an answer to a prayer! Plus, at the time my older two started using TT, I was helping my younger ones with Saxon Math. So it helped me to be able to oversee them while I was teaching the younger ones.
I am not concerned about the criticisms because TT has offered success to us. We excel in fine arts, language arts and sciences. Math is our ‘challenge’ area. Basically, if they have a B average in math I am happy. We are getting it done. And since I have high schoolers – I have the end in mind. Picturing what the goal is for them as adults. Tailoring their learning towards their interests.
**Update 2016: My eldest children have now successfully taken the SAT and ACT. Our eldest was accepted to her first choice college. We have proof of Teaching Textbooks.
However, I don’t want to steer you wrong if you are concerned about testing with a state-approved proctor. We are required to test at 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th grade and keep the results on file. So I do not have the performance pressure that you do.
Have you tried the sample lessons on the Teaching Textbooks site?
Find Teaching Textbooks and try their online placement tests.
May I also offer some time management help? No matter what curriculum you use, this helpful habit saved our days while we had small ones – and older ones needing to work on math.
Here’s a question I’ve heard a few times lately as well: How can I get math done with my older ones with my toddlers roaming about? We sit down to do our math lesson and my little ones crawl on the table!
I hope Tracy’s question and our discussion will help other homeschoolers. What curriculum choices are you facing?
My son just started using TT 7, 2 weeks ago, and he is enjoying it. I know he is getting a complete math lesson, completing the problems and the problems are graded for me. Each set of problems ask questions regarding past and present lessons, which is great for my son who has an issue retaining. He is doing great so far!
That is awesome Christa! And I agree – it’s that same spiraling approach that Saxon Math uses. A bit of review. And introduction of new concepts along with plenty of practice. A full lecture! I vividly remember when my son started Math 6 Teaching Textbooks – he stood up and skipped across the room he was so happy! Skipping with math? Now that was an answer to a prayer! (He is an auditory learner so it also fits his learning style.) Plus they love the little buddy characters that cheer them along too.
We are loving TT, too. It changed my struggling with math child to a math successful child, so I am hooked, too. Wish I had switched to it earlier. I like other math programs for Elementary school age, and start with TT at Pre-Algebra stage. It was very interesting hearing your thoughts and experiences with TT.
As a former Abeka user, I can say without a doubt our switch to TT has been a good one. My oldest did Abeka math through 4th grade and we made the switch for 5th grade. The biggest difference I have noticed is the lack of busy work. This has been very freeing for my hard-to-focus child. TT reviews, presents the lesson, then practices each concept; any more would be too much for him to stay interested and any less would not be enough. I always said that I would assign some extra (busy work) in the case of him not getting something, but there has not been a need. It was always a struggle to get him to sit down for math, not anymore! I do not have to present the lesson to him with TT and now I can focus on my younger 2 during that time. I hope this helps anyone that is considering the switch from Abeka to TT.
Heidi – thank you SO much for your insight and wisdom with your A Beka background. And I am right with you on all you said about TT!
Oh I am so happy to hear that Teaching Textbooks is blessing your family too!
I just wanted to comment about the “below level” issue. If you, like we, are switching from another curriculum to TT I HIGHLY recommend taking the placement test at both their current “grade level” and the next up. For us, switching from Horizons for 2nd grade to TT we ended up in TT 4 instead of TT 3. This was our first full year of using TT and my third grader did TT 4 and finished the year with a 96 average which is a miracle! So in TT curriculum she’s a year ahead of her “grade level”. For child #2 we completed Horizons 1st grade and are preparing to go into TT 3 with her in the fall. So next year BOTH kids will be in TT, one in 3 and one in 5 (but 2nd and 4th graders).
I just came across your blog as I am looking for reviews for TT vs. Saxon. My concern with TT is the much needed mastery and practice for multiplication facts which leads into and supports division problems. I have been using TT since grade 3 with my daughter who is entering 5th and my son will be in 3rd. I am considering switching to Saxon for both kiddos. TT definitely needs additional supplements for multiplication facts for grades 3 and 4. I am curious about grade 5 and multiplication exposure? Since TT seems to be a grade level below (IMO), does the program catch up as the years progress? Any guidance would be appreciated!
Karen, TT has been such an answer for our visual and auditory learners! My 5th grader just finished Math 5 and felt it had plenty of multiplication practice as well as division.(I did too!) She’s about to begin Math 6. She is also the fourth child in our family to complete Math 5 and move on. We’ve now used all levels of TT – from Math 3 through Pre-Calc and graduated two. In the high school years, in addition to TT, we did SAT and ACT prep and study practice.(Scores were good for both my now high school grads) For us, we have felt it was perfect for our family and meet such a need for our age range. Maybe if one of my students was pursuing a specific math career I would double up on math studies. However, Teaching Textbooks brings the math fun learning to our days and I have nothing but praise! | 2019-04-20T04:46:04 | https://www.hodgepodge.me/our-experience-with-teaching-textbooks/ |
The briefing was to develop the architectural and interior design for Unilever Brazil Training Center and Experimental Kitchen, making them reference kitchens for the markets where they operate. This project began on our architecture division and was extended to our design team since it presented opportunities for designing furniture for food preparation and exclusive equipment. These kitchens for the Food Solutions and Foods divisions – professional and retail markets, respectively – previously operated separately and were then being restructured in a new and shared area: the Studio Gourmet.
The activities that take place in the Studio Gourmet vary from training and qualification of customers and professionals in the food service market, culinary workshops for customers and guests, products testing and innovations research, development of various recipes, and others. It consists of two professional and two domestic kitchens, a tasting area, cabins for sensory analysis, a lounge and a library and it is located at the Unilever Brazil headquarters. The highlights are the Kitchen Station and the Cooking Island which are exclusive equipment, and the furniture designed for the domestic cooking and tasting area.
The former Unilever unit in the neighborhood of Jabaquara had separated domestic and professional kitchens. Since they were to be built in a new and integrated area, it was essential that they reflected the concept of the project. But keeping the technical individuality of each of the areas was equally important as well as creating an identity that respected the particularities of each of these spaces user. Fully understanding the processes developed, focusing on the user and analyzing the facilities and equipment was our challenge in proposing innovative and meaningful solutions.
After two full days of ethnographic research at the site we found many opportunities. The theoretical operator training was then done in a showroom with school desks from which little of the chef’s preparations were seen. At the same time, the 16 mobile stations were prepared in the kitchen for practical classes. Those stations were limited to stainless steel countertops with one drawer and one shelf for pots and pans. Following the chef and students during these two classes was crucial because we could then develop the Mobile Station Kitchen concept for complete food preparation. The station is particularly suitable for showcasing products to customers and chefs who prefer separate spaces, as well as being taken to external events since it is mobile.
We observed the employees training practical activities that were focused on cooking. It was an adaptation of 6 united ranges, which favored group work up to 12 people – a fact that was appreciated. We noticed they had some difficulty handling large pots because they were unbalanced on the grills. In response to this activity we proposed the Cooking Island that had induction heating plates as its main technological innovation.
In the Experimental Domestic Kitchen we followed the work of the cooking specialists who are responsible for developing recipes with items from Unilever’s non-professional product line. They develop up to nine simultaneous recipes per day, preparing them completely according to the briefing issued by the product management team. When the recipes are all done the specialists’ team meets with nutritionists and managers for tasting and analysis. They use trays arranged on a long bench to separate the recipes ingredients and the most used equipment are the gas ranges, the microwave, the mixer and the blender – they are all household appliances. Based on our own analysis, we developed a unique furniture design for these operations.
In this pleasant and professional area the brand can get closer to its customers and strengthen its philosophy.
We needed a furniture line that would adapt to the different layouts. The proposal included counters with casters that facilitated transport as well as mobile stands of different sizes that provided different room set ups without losing the functionality needed in the kitchen. Electrostatic hoods allow project discussion meetings to occur during preparation because the exhaustion efficiency with minimal noise does not interfere with room sound.
The kitchen stations allow training programs with different group sizes and also personalized products use demonstration on trade fairs and company’s events. We have a very low rate of accidents with burns due to the adoption of induction plates replacing the gas range.
Consumers and customers visiting the space express enchantment and recognize our culinary expertise that is also present in this layout and furnishings. | 2019-04-18T21:04:10 | http://english.studioino.com/projetos/studio-gourmet-unilever-2/ |

threat of monopolies or regional oligopolies for the management of online music rights.
Legal underpinnings covered in the course of the analysis include the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaties, the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Napster case, the Santiago Agreement, relevant EU Papers and the 2014 Copyright Directive, and work done by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Part I presents a number of horizontal issues that affect collective management in almost every country. Part II is divided on a geographical basis, focusing on systems representative of the principal models applied in various countries and regions. Each country specific or region-specific chapter provides a historical overview and a presentation of existing CMOs and their activities, gives financial information where available, describes how CMOs are supervised or controlled by legislation, and offers thoughts about the challenges facing CMOs in the country or region concerned. Many of these national and regional commentaries are the only such information sources available in English.
Whatever the future of copyright holds, it is clear that users will continue to want access and the ability to reuse material lawfully, and authors and other rights holders will want to ensure that they can put some reasonable limits on those uses, including an ability to monetize commercially relevant uses. CMOs are sure to be critical intermediaries in this process. The second edition of this importantresource, with its key insights into the changing nature of collective management, will be of immeasurable value to all concerned with shaping policy towards collective management or working with the ever more complex legal issues arising in digital age copyright matters.

Today we are lucky to have Carin here over from Created with Love. Carin dabbles in a variety of crafts including cross-stitch, felt and crochet. Her Scandinavian style shows through in her crafts and daily life, especially at Christmas! Like any good Swede, Carin loves Swedish meatballs and has a smorgasbord at Christmas!
Today she is going to share about 2 of her favorite smorgasbord desserts!
Hi, I’m Carin, and I’m so excited that Kathryn has invited me to take part in this series! It’s fabulous!
I was born and raised in southern Sweden, but am lucky enough to have relatives in both Denmark and Norway and feel blessed to have experienced traditions from all three countries first hand. I now live in the UK and try to keep some of the traditions that were the most meaningful to me growing up alive in my own family. That includes serving a julbord (a Christmas smorgasbord) every Christmas Eve.
Today I’ll share with you two of my favourite Swedish sweet Christmas treats; knäck and ischoklad. I vividly remember standing looking longingly at the trays of ischoklad and knäck as a kid, counting the minutes until they were served. Sweet treats of any kind were very rare in our household and made these all the more special. Even today I get a thrill when I see the trays in the fridge.
Ischoklad is a very popular Swedish Christmas treat which is also incredibly easy to make. It gets its name from the cool sensation you get when you swallow this delicious treat.
They are traditionally served in small foil cases, but since these tiny cases are hard to get hold of anywhere outside Scandinavia, I suggest using the smallest ones you can get your hands on. I have been known to use bon bon cases in the past. This time I also ended up using some left over knäck cases because I ran out half way through. They’re about the same size, just made from different materials.
Fill a tray with the smallest cases you can get.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Mix till smooth and shiny.
Pour the ischoklad into the cases, then put the tray in fridge until they’ve set. When set, transfer into a storage container. Put greaseproof paper between layers. Store them in the fridge till ready to eat. Enjoy!
Variations: For an even cooler taste sensation, try adding a few drops of peppermint extract to the mix. You can also put some finely chopped nuts or marshmallows at the bottom of the cases before pouring over the chocolate mixture. If using dark chocolate, try adding some finely shredded orange peel or a tablespoon of instant coffee to bring out the taste.
Knäck is a traditional Swedish toffee which is also only really served at Christmas. It translates as “break”. It can be chewy or hard depending on how long you let the mixture simmer, but the harder version is the most common. Knäck is also traditionally served in small cases, though usually waxed paper ones. Again, bon bon cases have come in handy for me in the past.
Simmer for 15-30 minutes until a few drops of the mixture poured into a glass of cold water can be rolled into a ball.
Add the chopped almonds, if using, and pour into the cases. Warning, this part is quite messy. Don’t attempt to mop up any spills with your fingers because the mixture is VERY hot.
(If the mixture hardens too much before you’ve had a chance to divide it between all the cases, reheat it gently on the stove until it’s easy to pour again. Alternatively, if you have an electric stove, pour small quantities of the mixture into a measuring jug for pouring into the cases and keep the rest of the mixture warm on the stove using the after heat).
Store cold until set, then transfer into suitable storage containers. Put greaseproof paper between layers. Store the knäck cold until ready to serve.
Thanks Kathryn for giving me this opportunity to share two of my favourite Swedish Christmas treats!
Thank you Carin! Check out Carin's flickr page too if you want to see some fun ideas!

Breastfeeding can be a daunting task, especially for a new mother, but it is also one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever experience as a mother especially when you know that your child receives only the best from you.
When it comes to breastfeeding nothing is more important than eating right. Your baby is what you eat so make sure that you have a healthy, nutrition balanced diet. There are times, though, when you are too exhausted to make healthy meals at home, especially if you are a working mom. Between caring for your newborn and chasing deadlines there’s little time for cooking. We understand your frustration and have come up with a list of tips to keep you and your baby healthy.
Plan your meals for the week by listing down a variety of dishes that you plan to make. You can do this every Saturday or Sunday when you have more free time. Then prepare a grocery list and shop. Once you have all the ingredients you can start preparing the food. Make food that freezes well, chop your salad vegetables and fruits and refrigerate them, make your salad dressing and keep it in a jar in the fridge. By doing these you will save plenty of time during weekdays – all you need to do is pack your salad for your lunch and heat up your dinner. On certain days when you plan to cook, prepare your ingredients in the morning, so you only need to cook them once you come back from work.
Sometimes when your body is tired or overworked whatever healthy food you eat might not be enough, and a working mother knows this too well. That is why taking supplements is a good idea to nourish your body and help you stay healthy. For daily intake, opt for multivitamins and calcium supplements, whereas vitamin C is needed to prevent and treat the common cold. Let’s be honest, we do want our fast food or soda every now and then so taking these supplements makes sure your body gets its daily nutrients. Just remember to drink at least 2.5 liters of water every day.
We hope the above tips will help you cope with the endless chores of motherhood, breastfeeding being one of them. But we bet the joy of seeing that smile on your baby’s face makes it all worth it. | 2019-04-22T04:47:24 | https://www.myguardian.com.my/lifestyle/tips-for-breastfeeding-moms/ |
The Golden Globes this year was filled with swooping necklines, dazzling jewels, flowing trains and many more. These are the top five that made my list for best dressed.
Jennifer Lawrence looked amazing in this red assemble by Dior Haute Couture. The cut-out on the obliques complement her body shape so well. With the addition of the 156 carat diamond necklace just added that extra wow factor. The simple up-do and makeup allowed for the dress andnecklace to be a showstopper.
Taylor Schilling, from “Orange is the New Black,” took a different route than most. Wearing a black, beaded Takoon evening suit made her really stand out from the crowd. Paired with an Anya Hindmarch clutch, Monique Pean jewelry and Giuseppe Zanotti heels pulled together the entire look.
Jennifer Lopez looked as stunning as always in the marigold Giambattista Vali Haute Couture gown with her signature high slit. The cape and train detailing added depth and completed the look along with her accessories.
Lady Gaga looked amazing in this Atelier Versace velvet, black gown paired with Neil Lane diamonds. Her simple cat-eye and finger-waved hair made this assemble look great. Her style has really come a long way and I can’t wait to see what she has next in mind.
Olivia Wilde is the last on the list. The plunging neckline of the Michael Kors dress, paired with her Bulgari choker made her look so put together. I loved how the dress was made from that red, sparkly material. Overall, it was a great look.

The project addresses new forms of civic participation focussing on social and digital connectedness. The goal is to co-design an inclusive, digital society.
During the process several questions emerged: How can we encourage participation, facilitate exchange and create more transparent processes between municipalities and citizens? Which opportunities do citizens have to increase the livability of their city in a self-organizing way? How can we create a just and fulfilled coexistence? Which structures can be strengthened by the municipality and which role plays the digitalization therein?
To find out which structures need to be strengthened we conducted a range of activities: on-site visits, participatory workshops with inhabitants, interventions in public space. Based on this we have developed key issues and a participatory infrastructure with new communication tools. This structure we handed over to the citizens in February 2017.

Many people would like to get involved in real estate investing. After all, if it is done right, it is a highly lucrative career. According to Kimberly Dey, it is possible for anyone to get involved in it, although it is important to be very realistic about the chances of success. That said, she also believes that there are eight specific steps people should follow if they want to have a successful real estate investing career.
To have the desire. You cannot become successful line real estate investing, or in any other career for that matter, unless it is something you actually want to achieve. This also means that you have to consider why you want. Is it because you hope to make millions, or because you simply enjoy a challenge? Those are two extreme sides of the spectrum.
To be able to set goals. You will not become a successful real estate mogul overnight. It takes time to achieve these things. But you shouldn’t become complacent either. Instead, set yourself clear goals with clearly defined deadlines. That way you always have something to work towards as well. Some of the things you can include in your goals are your income, your cash, your donations to charity, bad habits that you want to overcome, travel, and what you still want to achieve. And you could set these goals for each year, forming a 10 year plan, for instance.
To be willing to learn. Many people have been very successful in the world of real estate investing, and many have been high unsuccessful as well. You need to learn from those successes and failures as much as you can. There are hundreds of books available to help you do that, so you better start reading!
To attend seminars. Learning from others is something you are likely to continue to do for the rest of your career. Eventually, people will also start to learn from you as well. But this does mean putting yourself in places where you can both learn and teach, and that includes seminars.
Immerse yourself in your market. There is no point knowing all the demographics of San Francisco if you want to work in Chattanooga yourself. Get to know your market and, if you move, get to know the new market.
Find a mentor. Most real estate investors believing in paying it forward, which also means they gladly take new professionals under their wing and mentor them. Find yourself such a mentor.
Build a team. They say that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it certainly wasn’t built by a single person. You need to have an effective team of real estate agents, appraisers, contractors, and attorneys on board, as well as a property manager, title companies, and home inspectors.
Go for it. At the end of the day, the only person stopping you from being a real estate investor is you. If you really want it, then you need to go for it. | 2019-04-18T13:16:21 | http://www.sqweebs.com/kimberly-dey-launch-real-estate-career/ |

A weekend home invasion robbery in the Dickinson area went sour for an alleged robber who ended up getting shot with his own gun, according to the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect, Richard Charles Holcombe, 32, of Alvin, has been charged with aggravated robbery. He was held Tuesday in the Galveston County Jail under a $250,000 bail, sheriff’s investigators said.
Detectives said Holcombe entered the home Sunday in the 200 block of Shady Bend Court wearing a white mask, and was confronted by the homeowner who heard a signal that the door was opening.

Between Site & Space represented the culmination of a two-stage collaboration between Tokyo Wonder Site and Artspace, Sydney. The project was conceived as a means to facilitate contact and dialogue between Australian and Japanese artists, strengthening and diversifying international artist networks while introducing audiences in both countries to new and innovative artistic practices that respond to the sites of their production and presentation.
Between Site & Space represented the culmination of a two-stage collaboration between Tokyo Wonder Site and Artspace, Sydney. The project was conceived as a means to facilitate contact and dialogue between Australian and Japanese artists, strengthening and diversifying international artist networks while introducing audiences in both countries to new and innovative artistic practices that respond to the sites of their production and presentation. To this end, the notion of 'exhibition' was considered in its expanded form, as the platform for a complex encounters occurring over an extended period, not limited to a single venue, place or timeframe.
During the first phase of the project, Sydney artists Alex Gawronski, Gail Priest and Tim Silver undertook an intensive residency in Tokyo, drawing on their experiences of the city, in many ways exploring it through their individual practices, to produce work for exhibition alongside Japanese artist Hiraku Suzuki and collectives exonemo and Paramodel in Diorama of the City at Tokyo Wonder Site, Shibuya. Supported by a similar period of residency at Artspace, Between Site & Space elaborates the works, concepts and relationships emerging from this process, with Artspace hosting the artists as they further engaged the politics of site, mapping, through photography, wall painting, installation, sound and media art, place and displacement alike.
A joint project developed in collaboration with Tokyo Wonder Site. Supported by the Japan Foundation. Part of the Australia-Japan Strategic Ties for the Arts Program, an initiative of Asialink, supported by the Australia-Japan Foundation and the Australia Council for the Arts. | 2019-04-25T14:13:43 | https://www.artspace.org.au/program/exhibitions/2009/between-site-space/ |

This contributed volume is the result of a July 2010 workshop at the University of Wuppertal Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies which brought together world-wide experts from physics, philosophy and history, in order to address a set of questions first posed in the 1950s: How do we compare spacetime theories? How do we judge, objectively, which is the “best” theory? Is there even a unique answer to this question?
This work will be of interest to physicists, as well as philosophers and historians of science working with or interested in General Relativity and/or Space, Time and Gravitation more generally. | 2019-04-23T10:42:26 | https://rd.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-1-4939-3210-8 |

This site was conceived and built by Loretta, your editor.
I started creating informational websites back in 2003 and really enjoy sharing my advice and wisdom in areas that I feel I have some expertise in.
Building websites is not all that complicated (when you have the right tools) and are an excellent way to build a second income while allowing you to work from the comfort of your own home. If you know how to use a mouse to "point and click", you can build a website of your own.
My education on website building came from a program called Site Build It! which really did a good job in helping me find areas in my life that I was passionate about, and then allowed me to take that passion and create a website devoted to the subject matter.
In my case I discovered I really wanted to help people recall health to the body, mind and spirit, and RecallingHealth.com is the informational resource I produced to honor that passion and to share my expertise and knowledge with others.
You can read about how I got started building a website with no prior experience and no computer programming knowledge in a little resource I put together called Build A Website Now.
I put together Build a Website Now (BAWN) because I remembered how frightening it was to just be starting out in the internet marketing arena, and I remember too all the GRQ (Get Rich Quick) schemes that abounded on the internet. It was really hard to know which way to turn and not lose my blouse through it all. So BAWN was my effort to share with fellow newbie website builders a way to do it while dealing with only reputable companies--companies that genuinely care about your success on the net and go the extra mile to show you that they care through great customer service and products that are designed with you as a newbie in mind.
This site was built using a website building software put out by XsitePro which allows me to do everything by pointing and clicking my mouse. I do not have to know any programming languages; all I really have to do is write the content for the site (i.e. get my ideas on paper).
This site is hosted by a company called ThirdSphere. Third Sphere is great because it has all the tools a website builder needs to publish a website to the world. And the really amazing thing I like about 3rd Sphere is its ability to grow with me. Anytime I decide that I want to take my internet website business to the next level, all I have to do is go to my control panel at ThirdSphere and all the tools are there--tools I hadn't even noticed before I needed them. These tools just sit there until you realize its something you need to add to your site, like maybe adding a newsletter form to your site so you can send newsletters out to your readers, or maybe you have just written a special report or you want to add an ebook to the things you offer to your site visitors, and the list goes on and on.
And, as I mentioned before, learning to build websites the right way came from my Site Build It! lessons.
By finding all of these programs, I have substantially reduced the cost of building and producing my informational websites. In fact, when I decided I wanted to transfer this site from my old web hosting company to this one, it only cost me less than $8 to register and extend my domain name (what's a domain name?) at the #1 Registrar, GoDaddy.com, and a mere $10 to park/host the domain name on my 3rd Sphere hosting account. Of course you may not have a clue why you need a domain name (website address) or a hosting account (they rent you a piece of the cyper real estate) for your website, but that's okay.
The only point I'm trying to make is that you can save yourself a whole lot of money and save a whole lot of time if you want to build your own website, or your own work at home business using your computer, by using these programs and bypassing all of the "Get Rich Quick" hype on the internet.
Building a business takes time and it will be no different if your business happens to be on the internet. Though it can be so much cheaper to start a business on the internet when you have the right tools and the right connections. Without these tools, and without the step by step "hold my hand and walk me through it" instructions that you get with programs like Site Build It! and XsitePro WebDesign Software, you might end up being quite frustrated with the process.
So, if you are interested in building a website of your own, I urge you to check out the programs listed above or just go to my Quick Start Guide posted at Build A Website Now to get started. | 2019-04-24T07:50:08 | http://sheabuttercenter.com/Build-Your-Own-Website.html |
Ushering in a summer's worth of Boise River recreation, the floating season officially opens Thursday, June 28, according to Ada County officials.
High water flows that neared 10,000 cubic feet per second in May and flooded portions of the Greenbelt have finally reduced to levels acceptable for water-bound leisure.
It's welcome news for those looking to get a jump on the float season and the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, which was decidedly float-free in 2011, when the river didn't open for floating until July 16.
On Thursday, Epley's Raft and Tube Rentals at Barber Park in Boise will begin renting rubber on which to float, shuttle service will start and other services will ramp up.
And while the river is open for business, officials caution river-goers to stay mindful of their surroundings, remain cautious, wear life jackets and remember that alcohol and glass containers are prohibited.
Earlier this month, Boise Weekly saw how the Boise Fire Dive Team prepares for the months-long floating season.
Check for info on parking, Barber park hours, shuttle costs and times here. Epley's offers information about rentals here. | 2019-04-23T22:50:45 | https://www.boiseweekly.com/Cobweb/archives/2012/06/26/boise-river-float-season-opens-thursday |

James Gagliano knew a thing or two about ice. Besides living through Colorado’s icy winters, Jim delivered ice for 35 years, mostly in downtown Denver. He delivered block ice, sack ice, and sculpture ice. He would start loading his truck about 3 o’clock in the morning and usually finished his route around 10 o’clock. Although only 5’4”, Jim could carry a 50 lb. block of ice. Jim had a long life which he attributed to exercise and good health, working out regularly. He swam at local recreation center pools and also walked five miles a day. All this boded well for Jim. He lived until age 95. After his death, we learned that he had made a bequest in his will to Volunteers of America. According to his executor, “Jim thought highly of your organization, had contributed to it in the past, and was hopeful you could help those in need”. We are truly grateful for his generosity and compassion in providing for future generations to give them the opportunity for a new life. Through his bequest to Volunteers of America, Jim continues to help change the lives of the most vulnerable.
Business man, Harvey Olmstead, died more than a decade ago. To help the less fortunate, he bequeathed buildings he owned to Volunteers of America through a charitable remainder annuity trust. Today he helps feed, shelter and inspire the homeless.

The Juul vaporizer is the latest advancement in electronic cigarette technology, delivering nicotine to the user from a device about the size and shape of a thumb drive. Juul has taken the electronic cigarette market by storm experiencing a year-over-year growth of about 700 percent.
epidemic. In May, The New Yorker told a story about Juul’s presence at high schools in America’s more affluent ZIP codes.
I study ways to inform public health and policy by using data from social media. According to new research my colleagues and I conducted that was just published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence, thousands of students sneak this nicotine delivery system on to school grounds to use during school hours.
Our study adds to this discussion by considering a novel source: posts to Twitter. Because posts on social media reflect the attitudes and behaviors of the public in their own words, researchers can treat this data source like a massive focus group.
For this reason, my colleagues and I will often turn to social media to track health behaviors, including the use of emerging tobacco products, to better understand the social and environmental setting in which they are used. For example, last year we discovered that “cloud chasing,” or the act of blowing the largest aerosol cloud possible in a competition, was one of the more appealing characteristics of electronic cigarettes among Instagram users.
We found that 1 in 25 posts, or 4 percent, was indicative of use of Juul while at high school, middle school and even elementary school. These posts described young people talking about using Juul on school grounds, in classrooms, in bathrooms, in the library, at recess and during gym.
For example, if the words “school,” “principal,” “teacher,” “elementary” or “recess,” among dozens of others, co-occurred in posts with the word “Juul,” we identified that post as reflective of a young person using Juul or seeing someone use Juul while on school grounds.
In comparison, a recent national online survey showed that 7 percent of participants 15 to 17 years of age, who would most likely be high school students, reported ever using a Juul.
We only had access to posts from public accounts, so our findings do not reflect posts from private users suggesting our numbers may underreport the amount of youth talking about Juul on Twitter.
Our findings suggest educators may be in need of training on how to identify Juul in the classroom. School administrators may consider installing vapor detectors in bathrooms and classrooms to deter use of Juul on school grounds.
Our study’s data source – posts to Twitter – may highlight a way parents can determine if their child is using Juul. While we analyzed anonymized data, parents could follow their child’s account to monitor such activities.
Twitter does not make its users’ demographic information (e.g., age) public in order to protect user privacy. As such, our study could not determine the exact age of Twitter users. However, posts contained combined words like “Juul” and “recess” suggesting posts were made by youth.
While Juul is marketed as a “smoking alternative” for adults trying to quit, we found relatively few posts containing phrases like “quit smoking.” One in 350 posts do.
Electronic cigarettes have stirred national debate where public health officials are trying to determine if these devices, like Juul, will help smokers quit combustible cigarettes or serve as a possible gateway product to combustible cigarette use among youth. While this debate will likely go on for some time, it is clear that nicotine use of any kind is known to be addictive and harmful to adolescent brain development. We believe that our findings underscore the need for policies to be implemented to keep such products out of the hands of youth.

NB. This Tape also captured thirty minutes of Elvis shooting pool and watching TV, seemingly unaware the tape recorder was still running, also on this tape Elvis has a go at Pat Boone's "I'll Be Home"
NB In spite of notations in the booklet "Platinum, A Life In Music" new information proves these recordings are not from 1961.
NB. As Of yet only the track listing for this tape has surfaced? It is uncertain if this tape is lost?
NB All tracks released on Bootleg CD "Greetings From Germany"
NB. Recorded sometime around the making of "Flaming Star" all tracks now all released.
February 1966 - Early 1967. Rocca Place, Hollywood.
Except for the last 5 tracks in this section which were found on acetate, and released in part in the 1980's the rest were discovered at Graceland in 1996. They are reported as being recorded by Red West. As far as can be determined they were recorded around 1966. Although Red West can remember that they were recorded over a longer time span.
The above feature Elvis, Charlie Hodge & Red West, on several tracks other friend join in, on several performances Elvis sings Bass and Charlie sings lead.
The above section remains unreleased.
This tape runs for almost 1 hour, there is lots of laughter and is mainly Elvis on Guitar, and Red West & Charlie Hodge, backing Elvis. This tape seems to have slipped through the fingers of BMG. Hopefully will turn up again.
NB Elvis is accompanied by the group "Voice"
Baby What You Want Me To Do.
Someone who worked for the Louisiana Hayride in the mid 50's and his job was to Film most if not ALL the Hayride shows. Apparently for legal reasons. One tape is Marked Elvis Presley, is in Colour by Silent filmed straight on. Apparently the owner had hundreds of these films mostly they had sound too. But no other Elvis one could be located in the few they looked at?? Amazing to say the least..
Sound is better than "Heart Of Stone" but not as good as Tupelo Concerts"
One of the group has the entire audio tape of a show they did in Paris 1959, where Elvis was in the audience and joined them on stage, this tape was given to Rick Whitesell(the editor of GOLDMINE magazine). Unfortunately he has died and the tapes can't be found but again supposed to be in perfect quality.
NB latest on "Golden Gate Quartet.
I met Clyde Wright last year when "The Golden Gate" was on tour in France he is one of former member of "Golden Gate Quartet", we talked about their meeting with Elvis, it was not in 1959 but in january the 17th of 1960.
There is many newspaper reports about this meeting.
Elvis didn't get up on stage to sing with them but after the show, he meet them in the Line Renaud dressing room at midnight. There were 10 people in the dressing room, the Golden Gate Quartet, Elvis, Line Renaud, Loulou Gaste (Line's Husband), Line's hairdresser, Line's dresser & Casino de Paris doorkeeper.
According Line Renaud who were at this time the Leader of the show named "Plaisirs" , they spend all the night singing Godspel songs they give up the dressing room at 6AM.
very important Line Renaud says in the dressing room they didn't have tape recorder so no recording were made.
Elvis Presley improvise a jam session at Line's Renaud Dressing room at Casino de Paris.
Elvis Presley the most famous Rock n roll singer in USA, who is in the army in Germany, came Sunday evening applause Line Renaud in the revue at Casino de Paris.
When she learn that, Line asked to his husband Loulou Gast� , to invite him to take a drink with them in her dressing room after the show.
Loulou get some difficult to see him, in a showroom full of people. The singer was between all americans uniforms deploy in the audience. He finally discover him at the second rank of the balcony behins a commando of US marines.
Elvis Presley delighted to know Line Renaud, didn't need much persuasing.
He just asked than the four black singers of the Casino came also at the meeting.
This one started at midnight.And, at 4am we could see two enthusiast spectators: Line Renaud and Loulou Gast�.
They applause frantically an unchained Elvis Presley. Arrived in a clothe of Infantery corporal, he was unrecognisable. He took the guitar of loulou Gast� and he was in one's shirtsleeves, withou tie, hairs uncombed, he was sang with the "Golden Gate" all the music repertory of New Orleans.
I tried to be the most exact in the translation of this news paper report. | 2019-04-22T19:19:22 | http://elvis-tapes.tripod.com/Homerecording.html |
Stutman Law obtained the largest recovery known for the mid-line failure of an armored electrical cable alleged to have caused a fire. A Franklin, Indiana foundry and laboratory facility utilized to design and cast finished machine parts was destroyed by a fire. Following several days of investigation at the loss scene and subsequent laboratory examinations, Stutman Law’s experts determined the fire was caused by a mid-line failure of an armored electrical cable.
Aggressive deposition tactics by Stutman Law attorneys revealed the electrical contractor and his workers were not licensed electricians, had minimal to no experience in performing similar work, had no knowledge of the National Electric Code and that their work violated several provisions of the National Electric Code and standard industry practices. Following the production of expert reports, the firm’s attorneys mediated the case for several days and obtained a confidential settlement, which is the largest known recovery for a mid-line failure of an armored electrical cable. | 2019-04-23T02:18:35 | https://www.stutmanlaw.com/record-recovery-fire-loss-caused-mid-line-failure-armored-electrical-cable/ |

Motorola is taking a run at becoming a top smartphone maker again, this time with Google backing it. In the next few weeks, the Moto X will be out on all major carriers, and the new Verizon Droid devices have just launched. To go along with these phones, Motorola has released the new Touchless Control and Skip apps. Both are free, and both will bring unique features to Moto's new phones.
The Skip app is only for the Moto X and requires additional hardware, so let's go over that one first. The Skip is a small Near Field Communication (NFC) dongle that you can buy for $20 (although, it comes free with the customized Moto X). The dongle clips onto your pocket in such a way that the Moto X is dragged across the NFC tag when you remove it from your pocket. This will instantly unlock the phone, even if you have a PIN lock on it.
The Skip app is necessary to set up your dongle and give it access to the device. The Skip app can also be configured to work with the upcoming Skip Dot, which is a smaller NFC sticker that you can place on your desk, or charging stand to unlock the phone that way. There are only a few steps to get it set up, so the $20 charge for the clip is the only barrier to entry.
Touchless Control is available to both the Moto X and the new Droids. This is the feature that brings Google Now functionality to the forefront in these devices. At any time, the trigger phrase "OK Google Now" will bring up the voice search interface. This works when you're playing a game, browsing the web, or even when the phone is asleep.
Google Now voice interactions are available on all Android devices running version 4.1 or higher, but this app makes the system incredibly convenient on the new Motorola phones. Google now understands natural language questions like "is it going to rain tomorrow?" or "where can I get some Thai food around here?"
The important angle here is that Google and Motorola have deployed the app to manage this feature in the Play Store. That means bug fixes and new content can be rolled out the the devices without a full OS update. Great news all around. | 2019-04-24T12:12:33 | http://appscout.pcmag.com/android/315084-motorola-skip-and-touchless-control-apps-hit-google-play |

DAILY POST had reported that Senator Dino Melaye had alleged that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris had ordered his arrest, adding that the police boss will also inject him (Melaye) to death.

Single Subject Amendment, a Super PAC that is registered with the Federal Election Commission, is behind this important effort.
Washington, D.C., January 25, 2017 (Newswire.com) - In hopes of providing a simple, non-partisan solution for the way Congress conducts its business, Republican Congressman Tom Marino of Pennsylvania is spearheading an effort to add the 28th amendment to the United States Constitution by introducing H.J.Res. 25 in the 115th Congress. This amendment to the U.S. Constitution would provide that no bill introduced in Congress may become law if it pertains to more than one subject, which must be clearly expressed in the bill’s title.
Although 41 state constitutions have a single subject provision prohibiting unrelated provisions (called riders) in state legislation, the U.S. Constitution has no similar provision that applies to Congress.
There are only two ways to propose an amendment to the U. S. Constitution: by Congress or by an Article V Convention for proposing amendments, which can only be convened if 34 state legislatures request one and specify a subject, which will limit the Convention. Single Subject Amendment is pursuing both methods and the Florida Legislature is on record as the first state to request an Article V Convention to propose this amendment.
For more information on Single Subject Amendment, the group’s mission and how to get involved, please visit www.SingleSubjectAmendment.com.
Single Subject Amendment is a nonprofit 527 organization and, more specifically, a Super PAC that is registered with the Federal Election Commission. Super PACs, officially known as “independent-expenditure only committees,” may not make contributions to candidate campaigns or parties, but may engage in unlimited political spending independently of the campaigns. Unlike traditional PACs, they can raise funds from individuals, corporations, unions and other groups, without any legal limit on donation size.
W. S. “Spider” Webb, Jr.
Our mission is to amend the U.S. Constitution to provide that Congress shall pass no bill and no bill shall become law, which embrasses more than one subject, that subject to be clearly expressed in the bill's title. | 2019-04-24T14:19:11 | https://www.newswire.com/news/congressman-tom-marino-makes-history-to-add-single-subject-amendment-18620558 |

there are a lot to say, but it's useless if saying too much; why not just keeping mouth shut.
i've been in media industry for about 21 months. At first, I was buffed to want learn radio so much, put all my energies and effort to source from bottom up left right about it, so that I could grasp the industry a bit deeper. For now i am still learning. as a employee for 21 months, a lot of good and bad changes were happening non-stop, everyone of was hoping and only hope once, the change would be a good and challenging. however, what we always hoping are not satisfy; therefore, the changes is still in progress; and the motives, the objectives... all unknown to us. frankly speaking, we are like lost sheep! i used to be opinionated, would voiced up my comment; but when disappointment came along nor you see nothing to be changed after your speech; well... i rather keep quiet and do my work. as a sales person, although we are not the super sales person as per say, but we work hard to get revenue for the company, hoping everyone could get a share of it after year end. a sales person, we couldn't close sales without other inter-departments' helping hand; sometimes, we are not giving troubles or too much demands on you; but we need inter-dept cooperation as much and we need your support so much. we are working under one roof; we all are the company's employees, thus we need to work along. i foresee the structure of the company is wrong; it seems to me that it's a dictator or one man decision maker! may be i am wrong... but sorry i just felt it that way now. | 2019-04-18T22:37:36 | http://sharon-teh.blogspot.com/2008/11/doom-weekend.html |

If you have had a reading from me and would like to share your experience, you are welcome to submit your feedback on my Contact page.
Neeshee did readings for both me and my son, and we were both impressed, and even amazed, by his insights into our personalities and his wide-ranging, articulate, and deeply useful approach. He puts his reading in the perspective of our patterned existence, our strong points and our weak ones as well where we are now in regard to issues in our lives and where we might be in the future. Also, the Vedic approach provides an-in depth extra to the Western one. Neeshee is obviously a very skillful, and very through, master of his art. I recommend him unreservedly.
Neeshee gives Vedic Astrology readings, one of the most ancient and insightful tools available to human beings that reveal the karmic patterns with which we come into this present life. It also shows how those patterns will tend to unfold throughout our lives. Neeshee is highly skilled at this craft, and his intuitive, wise, and compassionate approach allow his clients to better understand themselves at a deep level, while getting a sense of what could be required to achieve balance and harmony in this life. We spent over and hour doing my reading, and it was amazingly accurate and very much needed. I really can't recommend his services enough.
I’ve been getting astrological readings done every year by a very prominent, highly respected, western astrologer since 1997. My reading with Neeshee brought astrology to a completely different level. It was like going from a one-dimensional universe to a three dimensional universe. There are so many different layers in Vedic astrology. I was almost taken aback by the accuracy of his reading as he was describing me. It was as if someone had given him a secret blueprint into my emotional, physical and mental being. It was also very relieving on some level, to see that so much of who we are is because of this planetary arrangement. I also loved how he not only talked about my current experience, but about past lives patterns and the deeper personality. I am so impressed with Vedic astrology and Neeshee’s grasp of it! It has so much more depth to it then western astrology. If you are wanting to understand yourself better, I would highly recommend getting a reading done by Neeshee!
I was pleased to have my first astrology reading done by Neeshee Pandit. Well articulated, clear, to-the-point, and full of insight; Neeshee has a clear talent and skill for communicating the patterns which show up in our Astrology reading. Rather than talking about a bunch of disparate elements; Neeshee has an ability to create a story and weave the various aspects of Astrology into a coherent harmonious whole which informs the recipient of patterns and tendencies which play out in the course of their life. I highly valued my reading with Neeshee. His insight, humour, and wisdom clearly shine through during the reading. I came away with a better feeling of understanding certain aspects, evident in my reading, which have played out in my life and continue to exert influence. Grounded in a practical, spiritually oriented perspective...Neeshee's astrology readings are valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. Highly recommended!! Thank you.
You were spot on about the shift that would happen and its effects. I feel much more inspired and have intensified my practice on all levels and am moved to participate in the world and re-engage. Thanks again for your help, direction and inspiration.
Neeshee combines a very precise, detailed and analytical methodology. He combines the science of astrology with a spiritual and intuitive approach, which left me feeling like his valuable reading combined the "best of both worlds". Neeshee has a natural aptitude and talent for astrology and I absolutely recommend his readings to anyone with an interest. I particularly appreciated that he explained how the Vedic approach works in relation to the Greek approach to astrology, and that he is quite knowledgable in both methods.
I purchased the Natal/Medical package. The information I received was life changing. Neeshee, provided me with the tools I needed to navigate on my path to greatness. He included follow-up instructions for health issues I've been dealing with, which I did not know was available through an astrological reading. Neeshee was patient, caring, and insightful. I highly recommend Neeshee Pandit and look forward to our next encounter.
Neeshee, your reading has helped me to be clear on my life's purpose here. Your reading has literally made a big impact in my life, relieving me of much confusion and grief.
Tears of gratitude...thank you so much! Your heart was so out there, forward, and straight in your communication. Thank you again.
I have felt an immense amount of peace, reassurance, and clear mindedness since our meeting. I am thankful to have had our interaction. Thank you again, and may God bless you with everlasting peace and prosperity.
I really appreciate all your help. I have been thinking about everything you have said. I really needed to hear a lot of what you said. Thank you very much for the brilliant reading.
Hi Neeshee, Thanks again for the consultation. It was very good. You are a wise and helpful person. The consultation continues to be of great use to me in navigating my way through some positive life changes.
Thanks Neeshee! It was a pleasure meeting you today and thanks so much for the reading. It was very insightful and enlightening!
I have listened to our first recording several times and it is so great to be able to reflect on what was said. I learn new things every time.
Dear Neeshee, I found yesterday’s reading very helpful and illuminating. Thanks so much.
Neeshee's effortless approach to counseling and educating through Ayurveda creates a natural inspiration and commitment to this particular health approach. Over the course of our treatment sessions together, Neeshee helped steer my health, physically and psychologically, back to a much more balanced state. During this time he introduced a new lifestyle approach, gave herbal supplements for support, and was a guide in areas of my life which always seemed to be a consistent struggle. His years of academic study, as well as an innate ability towards coaching, he easily helped guide me back towards my optimal state of health. During my time with Neeshee, clarity was gained and my health restored. I am very grateful.
After several weeks of consultation with Neeshee I have so much more energy, I've lost weight, and I have a keen understanding of the bodily and emotional imbalances that my diet, habits, and environment tend to produce, and I have remedies for them. For the first time in my life I am a truly healthy person, body and mind. I fully recommend participating wholeheartedly and without reservation in the process of bodily rebalancing through which Neeshee will guide you.
I am very impressed with the detailed evaluation Neeshee did for my first and second visits.. always interesting to get feed back from different perspectives on health.. And the dietary, herbal, and life style recommendations he suggested are to the point and I think I can benefit a lot from following them without having to change my current mainly raw, vegan diet. Thank you Neeshee! Will be recommending you to family and friends.
Just want to say thanks heaps for the reading yesterday. You’ve given me much to ponder and digest. Thank you for your insight and wise counsel.
Thank you again for the astrology reading yesterday! There is real power and purity in you and the service you are doing. I feel very served and reaffirmed in what has felt true for me for a long time but is really just recently starting to change in the so called exterior world.
I was really pleased with the reading, the felt relief and big release a subtle but Big shift. It was the first time someone with a holistic/alternative medicine background believed me and trusted me to “listen to my body”. The first time I haven’t been given a list of things I’m doing wrong and I didn’t feel judged. A thousand thank you’s, you were very good, very clever, you didn’t say anything that I could use to beat myself up! I’ve been smiling and laughing at myself, and such a release. I can relax, a huge weight has lifted.
Hey Neeshee, I wanted to thank you for the course. I’m happy I took it. I see how you cross reference different sources of knowledge and can easily explain the connection between them in an easy-to-understand format. Nowadays with so much misinformation the challenge is to break the barriers of ideas in a way that’s not offensive. I understand how you seek the higher truth that applies on all dimensions depending on the conditions and region. You are the “AOC” of the political arena, bringing new light and energy into world of natural medicine. Keep up the great work my dear friend!! | 2019-04-22T10:37:00 | https://www.atmaastrology.com/testimonials/ |

虚与实 or Virtuality and Reality, is Mr Tan Rui Rong’s first solo exhibition. Mr Tan counts Eastern philosophy, particularly the school of Zen Buddhism, as one of his greatest inspirations.
By juxtaposing the two series, 虚 (Virtuality) and 实 (Reality), in a single exhibition, Mr Tan hopes to show the duality of perspectives in many situations that we encounter in life. This message is also conveyed through one of his favorite painting styles, where he combines the abstract with the figurative by placing representative images alongside Chinese characters. This theme is seen in his works such as 月出(Rising Moon) and Gazing 山.
Mr Tan is one of the few UOB Painting of the Year alumni to have received two Painting of the Year recognition awards for his work. His first award came in 2000 when he won the Highly Commended prize for his piece titled Deep Feelings which brought to light the Miao tribe’s concern for the younger generation, shown through the custom of handing down silver from the elderly to the young. Last year, Mr Tan received the Silver Award (Established Artist Category) in the 2013 UOB Painting of the Year (Singapore) competition for yet another powerful painting titled Gazing 山. Gazing 山 was based on the philosophy of Buddhism Master Qing Yuan Wei Xin and reflects the changing perspectives people have as they progress through different stages in their lives.
Mr Tan discovered his passion for the arts at an early age. With hard work and determination, he earned an opportunity to be trained under famed artists, such as oil painters Xiang Guang (向光) and Jian Ren Yi ( 蹇人毅), at the Guizhou Art School.
A resident of Singapore for more than 20 years, Mr Tan is the editor of Yuan, a Chinese cultural publication of the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations, as well as an art lecturer at the Singapore Institute of Management University. | 2019-04-20T18:10:08 | http://www.uobpoy.com/%E8%99%9A%E4%B8%8E%E5%AE%9E-virtuality-and-reality/ |
The Streamlined Sales Tax Project (SSTP) has made it easy for businesses that sell across state lines to stay in compliance. In an effort to make sales tax compliance easier for ecommerce sellers, 44 states (see table below) came together and formed the SSTP, which is not only a more uniformed sales and use tax system, but also reduces the costs and burdens of sellers who do business in many states.
One of the things aligned across all member states is the Streamlined Tax Exemption Certificate. Let’s take a look at how this exemption certificate work.
If you do business in any of the 44 member states, you won’t need to worry about applying for a sales-tax exemption certificate in every state. That’s because member states all use the Streamlined Tax Exemption Certificate, which is valid in every state that participates in the SSTP. What’s more, the form can be used for a single purchase or as a blanket certificate that allows the holder to use it in multiple states whenever requesting an exemption.
Business owners can choose to use a paper exemption certificate or the electronic version, which is submitted in various ways in each state. And to make the process even easier, when using a paper certificate, sellers don’t even have to use the official form. They can use any type of exemption certificate as long as it has the same information that’s required on the SSTP certificate.
The only challenge to the process comes from having to know which exemptions each state accepts. Although the multi-state certificate lists twelve specific exemptions, it is up to the purchaser and seller to ensure that the state in which the transaction is made allows that type of exemption. If a buyer presents an exemption certificate but doesn’t qualify for an exemption in that state, they can be held responsible for the tax and interest, as well as civil and criminal penalties. Sellers who accept the certificates should keep them to prove to the state they don’t owe sales tax on the sale.
The Streamlined Sales Tax Project helps ecommerce sellers in many ways, and creating a multi-state exemption certificate certainly takes a great burden off sellers and buyers alike.
The following table outlines the 44 states currently participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax Project.
Colorado is the only sales tax collecting state that is currently not participating in the SSTP. | 2019-04-23T07:02:24 | https://www.avalara.com/us/en/blog/2016/01/how-to-handle-streamlined-sales-tax-exemptions.html |

Ideally, I would like you to go read this book right now without reading another word about it.
No? Still here? Fine. I'll tell you a little, but really - a librarian friend who read an advance copy of this told me to go into it blind, and that was really good advice. But if you must know, We Were Liars is the story of a teenage member of a rich New England family - like own-their-own-island rich - who has had something terrible happen to her. And really, that's all I want to say about the plot. I will say that the book has interesting characters, a very distinctive voice, fascinating structure, and all the trappings of a rich people summer house novel, which is a subgenre I love. It's a perfect summer read, captivating and mysterious. Oh, and if you can, clear out an evening, because you're not going to want to put this down once you start. | 2019-04-21T00:09:51 | http://www.katelinneawelsh.com/2014/06/book-recommendation-we-were-liars-by-e.html |
The game itself is very simple, and so it does not take very long at all to learn what the rules are or to figure out how to play it for the first time. It is even easier when you play online blackjack 21 rather than playing it in a land based casino, because there are so many great options for playing online that will allow you to learn faster: you have no distractions around you, you can sit down comfortably in order to take it all in, you can read the rules or guidelines as many times as you like and even halfway through the game if you want to, and you can play at your own pace rather than having the pressure of other players and a live dealer waiting for you. There is certainly a lot to be said for the idea of playing in this way, and you can get the most out of the game if you enjoy it in an optimal fashion like this. After all, it gives you the chance to explore things fully without interruptions and without feeling stupid because everyone else around the table can see that you do not know what you are doing yet! You will also find that you can try out a wider range of variations of the rules online, and this is something that will allow you to learn all of the variations even quicker as well as being able to play them whenever you want to – rather than having to search around for a different casino in your area that offers different options, as you would if you were bound to land based venues only.
There are many thoughts about how to take the game another step further and begin using strategy, and indeed ever since the advent of online blackjack 21 the discussion on the subject has only increased. The most popular one that you are likely to hear of is the counting cards 21 system, which is used by a lot of professional players and those who play to win money – though you should be aware that this system only works in land based games for the most part because of the randomisation which is normally employed in online games, and that there is not much luck for players who are caught using it as they are normally asked to leave the casino. In order to get some strategy, play in place when you are playing blackjack online, you can try a number of different systems – and really it is important that you try these out for yourself to get a feel for them in order to see whether they are what is right for you and what you feel the most comfortable with. The Martengale system is one that was very much advised a few years ago, but now it seems to have fallen out of favour, along with the reverse Martengale which cropped up along with it. You can do plenty of your own research into this side of the game as there is a lot written about it, and there are tournaments which you can enter in order to put your skills to the test if you think that you have come up with or learned from elsewhere the ultimate blackjack strategy. One think that has to be noted is that you will never find a system that allows you to win all the time; rather you are trying to increase the percentage of hands that you win, as well as maximising those wins when you do get them.
It is easy to see that you can really spend a lot of time thinking about and playing the classic card games such as this one, and when it comes to online blackjack 21 it is even more likely as there is a lot for you to read and research on the subject. It seems that every casino player in the world has a little something to say about blackjack one way or another, but really the very best advice that you could ever receive – and this is something that most of the sources you will find seem to agree on, despite their differing opinions as to strategy – is to just make sure that you have a good time and enjoy yourself, as that is the main point of the game and the one thing that you must never forget. If you do forget it, you will not get as much out of blackjack when you play and so it is suggested that perhaps you ought to try a different card game instead, or else stop thinking about strategy so much and play in a more casual kind of way.
There are plenty of online casino sites out there which will allow you to play blackjack, and many of them will have more than one variety on offer as it is a very popular game that a lot of people are sure to want to play. In fact, any online casino that did not provide online blackjack 21 might find itself being abandoned in favour of other sites that do, because this is one of those games that everyone will play at one point or another – even if only to try it out and find out what it is like to play. | 2019-04-26T13:41:45 | http://bigfootpg50.com/online-blackjack/ |

Arguably, 2017's hottest opening wasn't a cool restaurant or flashy hotel. Instead, when the Austin Central Library opened its (very beautiful) doors last fall, it was the most buzzed about event of the season.
Weeks after its debut, sitting over dinner or making pre-meeting small talk, the conversation would envitably turn to Austin's newest hot spot. "Have you been to the new library?" an aquaintance would ask before breathlessly adding, "you really must go."
“The Central Library is the crown jewel of not just the Austin Public Library system but the city as a whole,” said Austin Public Library director Roosevelt Weeks in a release.
Now it seems the world is noticing Austin's favorite attraction. On June 28, the Austin Central Library was nominated for 2018 Public Library of the Year Award, an international award that honors the best libraries on earth.
Each year, the International Federation of Library Associations gives the award to a newly built library. Libraries are assesed on how the space implements new digital development, local culture, sustainability, and the wishes and needs of the users.
APL's "crown jewel" is one of only five in the world to be nominated, and the only one in North America. "Austin has one of the greatest libraries in the world, as this nomination confirms,” said Mayor Steve Adler.
In addition to Austin, the other four nominee are Villa-Lobos Park Library in Sao Paulo, Brazil; KopGroep Bibliotheken in Den Helder, Netherlands; Deichman Biblo Toyen in Olso, Norway, and Tampines Public Library in Singapore. | 2019-04-20T09:01:55 | http://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/06-28-18-austin-central-library-award-international-public-library-award/ |

Ahead of two important Sky Bet League 1 games in just three days for the club, Bantams boss Phil Parkinson says he is relishing the prospect of a bumper Easter weekend for his squad.
City entertain fifth-placed Millwall at the Coral Windows Stadium on Saturday looking to reduce the four point gap between the two sides. Parkinson's side will then travel to relegation-threatened Crewe Alexandra on Easter Monday.
The Bantams will have some key players away on international duty for both matches but Parkinson believes City will still be ready for the quick-fire double-header that awaits them.
Parkinson said: "Everything is set up for an intriguing encounter at the weekend.
"Millwall are obviously just above us in the table so this Saturday's match is a great opportunity for us to close that gap.
"We know that nothing will be decided over this weekend but our aim is to get two positive results from this Easter period.
"As soon as Saturday evening comes, our attention will switch from this (Millwall) game to Monday's match at Crewe Alexandra.
"We want to get to Tuesday morning and make sure we are still right in the mix. We are looking forward to that challenge.
"We have to relish this stage of the season. We must stay calm and focus on what we have to for each game."
Like City, Millwall are also missing players this weekend due to international call-ups.
Midfielder Jimmy Abdou (Comoros), left winger Shane Ferguson (Northern Ireland) and reserve goalkeeper David Forde (Republic of Ireland) are all unavailable to the Lions for their trip to the Coral Windows Stadium.
Aiden O'Brien and Shaun Williams appear favourites to step up into Neil Harris' line up against City as a result, with Ed Upson also in contention for a starting berth. | 2019-04-21T10:38:19 | https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2016/march/parkinson-looking-forward-to-easter-challenge/ |

There are many creatures in the animal kingdom that hibernate during the winter. After building up a large supply of food to enable them to last during the winter or eating a significantly larger portion of food in the coming months leading up to winter, these animals are able to survive and be ready for spring to come despite the fact of sleeping for four or five months prior to spring arriving. It is the circle of life for many different kinds of animals including both bears and bats.
However, not every animal out there hibernates which may make you wonder if the possums are an animal that may hibernate? The answer is a resounding no.
No matter what time of the year you were talking about, the possum is alert and ready to get out in the world. These are nocturnal animals, that hunt exclusively during the nighttime because of their very poor eyesight. The possum has an exceptional sense of hearing and smell, but a very poor sense of eyesight. This allows it to be able to have a clear advantage over potential predators at nighttime, because the possum can smell or hear them usually long before they are able to sneak up on the possum.
This also gives them the advantage in finding food. The smallest movement by a mouse cricket, or other small animal will quickly draw the attention of the possum, allowing it to strike and get a meal. It can also smell vegetables and fruits that may be growing nearby so that it can make a meal out of them as well.
It would seem with such poor eyesight and the fact that they need to be able to hear and smell well that hibernating would be a beneficial trait for the possum. However, there are actually distinct advantages to being awake in the wintertime that benefit the possum.
First of all, during winter the amount of sunlight reduces greatly. The average daylight time can be less than nine hours in many places, giving a possum 15 hours of time for it to hunt and move around.
In addition, during the winter many animals do hibernate, which not only reduces down the competition in terms of finding food, but also reduces the number of predators that are about that pose a risk to the possum.
The fur on these animals is very stiff and full, meaning that they can handle the cold weather, much better than most other forms of animal. Therefore, they are able to get out and track down food especially in areas where human beings have left waste that they can turn into a meal.
As you can see, there is no real reason that a possum would have to hibernate. They can continue to perform normal bodily processes during the wintertime and successfully be able to find food, maybe even better than during the summer. It is for reasons like this that there is a clear advantage in them not hibernating.

A common market axiom is: ‘Nothing ever happens in August’. In fact, this has often been proved wrong, from the start of the financial crisis in August 2007 all the way back to the outbreak of the first world war in 1914. And this year has provided yet another counter-example. The summer-long swooning of the Chinese stock market caused western nerves to crack and markets to dive in sympathy.
It is worth standing back to consider why this was so, and what is driving that weakness. Signs of a softening Chinese economy are not good news for international economic activity, and for world markets. China’s economy, after a generation of rapid growth, is now the second largest in the world, and represents the largest single contributor to world growth. The Chinese economy matters.
And for any other economy, it might be a fair assumption that extreme weakness in the stock market reflects weakness in the underlying economy. The falls on the Shanghai bourse are surely a warning for the West.
But the assumption that Chinese stock market falls tell us anything about the Chinese economy is far from well-founded. Put simply, the Chinese stock market is not a free market and contains much less information about the state of the underlying economy than almost any other major market. And westerners who assume otherwise are guilty of making one of the oldest mistakes in the book: assuming that China follows established norms and responds to standard analysis.
On the contrary, China challenges almost every established economic theory for the way in which countries and economies develop, mature and operate. We have to realise that the economy is simultaneously the world’s second largest, yet is also still a developing economy. Furthermore, it is under the close, direct control of the state, yet defies all the authorities’ attempts to manage it. In the most basic sense, we have never before seen another case where the government has all the levers and tools – yet they simply do not work as the authorities thought they did.
With regard to China’s currency, the same paradoxes apply. China is a great trading nation, but not an open economy, and its currency is widely used outside its borders without being convertible. Such an economy simply does not follow precedents set by other, smaller countries.
Those who lazily try to pigeonhole China (for example as an ‘emerging economy’ or ‘great trading nation’), and then assume that it will behave as the pigeonhole suggests, risk being repeatedly caught out. China is the epitome of sui generis, and demands original thinking to understand its unique challenges. Sadly, however, much of the world – both markets and the authorities – seems unwilling to think beyond the precedent, the orthodox or the mundane. And China is none of these three. | 2019-04-24T06:10:08 | https://www.omfif.org/analysis/commentary/2015/september/lessons-from-chinas-summer-of-instability/ |

ATLANTA, July 21, 2017 – BB&T Atlanta Open defending champion and ATP World Tour No. 20, Nick Kyrgios, has withdrawn from next week’s Atlanta event citing a right hip strain.
"Having to make the decision not to defend my title at the BB&T Atlanta Open was really tough and disappointing," said Kyrgios. "We were very hopeful up to the last moment that my hip could respond and allow me to compete at the highest level, but unfortunately it's just not ready. I hope all of the fans in Atlanta know that I wish I could have returned to win again, and hopefully I will be able to do so in the future."

Donald Trump joined Great Faith Ministries International, an African American church located in Detroit, on Saturday where he spoke to the community about the importance of faith helping to heal a divided nation.“For centuries, the African American church has been the conscience of our country,” Trump told the congregation as he spoke briefly during the service. The Republican nominee said African American churches have “lifted up the soul of our nation” and led the civil rights movement. “Today, I just want to let you know the I am here to listen to you and I am doing that,” Trump promised, adding that as a leader he wants to “step into the community and learn what is going on.” “I’m here today to learn so we can together remedy injustice in any form and so we can also remedy economics so that the African American community can benefit economically thought jobs and income,” he added. “I believe we need a civil rights agenda for our time.” Funny thing when I watched him talk to the church in Detroit today, is when he mentioned how the leader of this church was a better interviewer than the professionals in the mainstream media...That made me laugh historically. See America Trump is the presidential candidate of unity, in getting all people of all colors to unite as one America after the division of Americans under Democratic leadership. Could this meeting be a turning point in America where people off all colors and all walks of life start banning for one goal, and that goal is to take America back from the Obama's administrations division of our nation. Now I would love to see how the media twist this into some racist thing or trump playing Identity politics, when Hillary has yet to even go in front of a mostly black crowd in America. Under Donald Trump we can all unite under one goal to take our nation back, Hillary represents the Obama policy of more division in America...And black America needs to realize that Hillary will only make matters worse and create more division between the people. Donald Trump represents two things, Make America Great Again and Make America United Again. | 2019-04-22T10:35:21 | https://www.puppetstringnews.com/blog/trump-to-black-detroit-church-african-american-churches-have-lifted-nations-soul |

I thought it important that I inform you as your bishop that I have been in contact with the bishop in Father Jeyapaul’s home diocese in India and have been assured that he has not assigned Father Jeyapaul to public ministry. In fact, the bishop has ordered Father Jeyapaul to have no ministry in any parish, including saying Mass. He has further ordered Father Jeyapaul to have no contact with minors. He has directed Father Jeyapaul to live in a home for retired clergy. “Suspension” is a technical term in Canon Law, and although Father Jeyapaul’s suspension has been lifted, the severe restrictions on his living and acting mentioned above are firmly in place. At no time after returning to India has Father Jeyapaul been assigned to public ministry.
As you can see, this is clearly not what has been reported by Mr. Anderson and the press and others. | 2019-04-18T14:45:21 | https://stfrancismhd.org/blog/statement-of-bishop-hoeppner-concerning-fr-jeyapaul |
AT M (total loaded mass) and with a maximum tow ball weight of 250 kg.
This unique product incorporates a clamping system that grips the sides of a specially designed 50 mm tow ball and resists movement of the trailer. This action slows down any tendency for the trailer to sway or veer from a straight condition.
This is particularly a benefit when large trailers such as caravans are buffeted by side winds or by a passing truck and trailer combination.
NOTE: This type of coupling must only be used with a 50mm ball which has an anti-rotation plate for attachment to the vehicle fitted.
This style of coupling is similar in function to ball type couplings (fixed and over ride ) but instead of the connection to the tow vehicle being a standard 50 mm ball, the connection is a 75 mm inside diameter ring and this attaches to a “pintle hook” fitted to the tow vehicle. These types of couplings are primarily used in applications where the tow vehicle is a heavy commercial truck. As the Australian Standard AS 4177 states the 50mm towball to have a maximum capacity of 3500 kg AT M (total loaded mass), ring couplings are used when higher loads are involved. | 2019-04-26T16:25:02 | https://www.alko.com.au/vehicle-technology-catalogue/couplings/anti-sway-fixed-swivel-ring-couplings/ |
As a testimony to our commitment to international quality management practices, we were awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification for Quality Management System in July 2009. International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is the world's largest developer of voluntary International Standards. International Standards give state of the art specifications for products, services and good practices, helping to make industries more efficient and effective. Developed through global consensus, these international standards help to break down barriers to international trade.
ISO 9001:2008 sets out the requirements for a QMS where an organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
This standard was revised from ISO 9001:2000. ISO 9001:2008 has been developed in order to introduce clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and improve compatibility with ISO 14001:2004. Nevertheless, ISO 9001:2008 does not introduce additional requirements nor does it change the intent of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.

Prepared by Agricultural Research Service chemist Anne Desjardins and technical information specialist Susan McCarthy, the website details a timeline for corn's worldly travels, starting with the crop's only known center of domestication in "Mesoamerica," a region comprising south-central Mexico and adjacent areas of Central America.
also of a grain like panic-grass that the Indians call maize. This grain has a very good taste when cooked, either roasted or ground and made into a gruel."
Chapters 2-6 chronicle early events in corn's five-century journey from Mesoamerica to Europe, Africa and Asia, with subsections providing historical context. A section titled "Aztec Records of Maize and Teosinte" notes those Indian people's early writings on corn.
Another section, "Maize Crossed Asia Within 100 Years," reflects Desjardins' interest in corn's Asian beginnings while working in Nepalese villages as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1972. "As I ate my maize [porridge], I wondered how an American crop had become a staple food in a remote region of the Himalayas," she writes in the website's introduction. "My neighbors were convinced that their maize, or makai, was 'local'... ."
Creating the website, 30 years later, reaffirmed Desjardins' belief that Asian and African farmers rapidly adopted corn, an American crop plant. Today, at the ARS National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, Ill., she seeks ways to protect corn, wheat, barley and other grain crops from diseases like Fusarium head blight. McCarthy, Desjardins' collaborator, works in the Public Services Division at the ARS National Agricultural Library, which posted the website in February. | 2019-04-19T17:00:55 | https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2004/new-website-traces-quotlong-strange-tripquot-of-corn/ |

Last weekend I ventured north for a beautiful wedding of a beautiful couple, Stephen and Hannah.
In the scenic surroundings of Killinghall, the sun played games with us, often hiding, but came out to play as we left the church. Then a drive over the moorland to the Devonshire Fell, I have never seen anything like it! How amazing is that venue and it’s location?
Here is a small selection of images from the day.

Dollanganger family series volume 3.
Chris and Cathy made such a loving home for fourteen-year-old Jory -- so handsome, so gentle. And for Bart, who had such a dazzling imagination for a nine year old. Then the lights came on in the house next door. Soon the Old Lady in Black was there, watching them, guarded by her strange old butler. Soon she had Bart over for cookies and ice cream and asked him to call her "Grandmother". And soon Bart's transformation began... Fed by the hint of terrible things about his mother and father... leading him into shocking acts of violence. Now while this little boy trembles on the edge of madness, his anguished parents await the climax to a horror that flowered in an attic long ago, a horror whose thorns are still wet with blood, still tipped with fire.

Losing someone you love is difficult under any circumstances; it can be even harder to deal with when your loved one died as a result of recklessness or negligence of another person or entity. In cases like this you should not be left to deal with a fortune in unpaid medical expenses, funeral expenses and the loss of your loved ones income; you need to be compensated. Taking legal action during this most stress time is probably the last thing on your mind but you need to be thinking of hiring a wrongful death attorney in Michigan and suing for damages and compensation.
Accidents: Accidents and injuries caused by accidents are by far the most common cause of wrongful deaths. There are many vehicular accidents caused by an inebriated driver or a reckless driver, injuries leading to workplace deaths often caused by unsafe conditions on site and falls from unsafe buildings, all of which are examples of wrongful death; and these are but a few, there are many more examples.
Medical malpractice: It may come as a surprise but death caused by misdiagnosis or failure to properly treat a disease or injury is quite common. Medical malpractice is only outranked by cancer and heart disease as the leading causes of death. If you believe that your loved one died due to treatment errors or an error in diagnosis you should consult with a wrongful death attorney in Michigan.
Defective products: Products that are poorly designed, manufactured or sold can and do lead to wrongful death. How many times do you hear of or read about vehicle recalls for defects that have caused deaths? There are numerous times during the summer that people die due to using powered lawn and garden equipment that malfunctions. These are only a couple of examples, there are many more.
It might seem daunting to even consider suing for damages; it isn’t when you have hired a seasoned wrongful death attorney in Michigan who has the experience and skills to get proper compensation for clients.
It can be excruciatingly difficult when you lose a loved one. If his or her death is due to someone’s negligent act then you should hire a wrongful death attorney in Michigan and seek compensation.

Quite frankly, I used to think annual refresher training was worthless.
Conducting these workshops was part of my job years ago when I was the Director of Training for Ace Parking, a parking management company. The training was a requirement written into the management contract for many of our locations.
After all, what good could a once annual training do?
I quickly noticed something important. The parking managers who readily scheduled the training with me had higher customer service levels than the few managers who didn't do the annual refresher.
Was it because of the training?
The real answer was it was because of the training and everything else those managers did throughout the year to elevate service at their locations. The annual refresher was part of a larger system.
Here's why you really need annual refresher training for your team, when you should do it, and how you can get it done.
First, it helps your team re-focus on the basics. It's easy to get caught up in day-to-day work. People might even develop some bad habits. Refresher training gets everyone back on the same page.
Second, it sets the stage for the year or season ahead. This is a perfect time to introduce a new customer service initiative. You can also help employees make a connection between customer service and your strategic plan.
Back to my experience at Ace Parking. I quickly learned that managers whose employees were great at service were eager to schedule refresher training for all of these reasons.
They also saw the training as an integral part of everything they did to support a service culture on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. That was the real secret -- the refresher training was just one piece of the whole puzzle.
There are a few considerations for scheduling annual refresher training.
Event-based: Schedule it right before a busy season or a major new initiatives.
Volume-based: Schedule the training for a slow period in your normal business cycle.
Plan-based: Scheduled at the start of your fiscal year to coincide with a new annual plan.
From a practical standpoint, you may need to juggle some schedules to make sure that work gets done while employees are attending training. Many of my clients schedule multiple sessions so they can maintain operational coverage.
Start with a theme. What is the one thing you want the team to focus on for the next year? Whatever it is, make sure it's connected to your customer service vision.
Next, identify a source for the training. There are options available for all budgets.
If your company has the resources, consider bringing in a professional speaker. This can really charge up the team and show everyone you care deeply about service.
For more limited budgets, you can use training videos like my courses on lynda.com. You may have a lynda.com account already, which means there's no cost to use these videos. If you don't have an account, you can get a 10-day trial just in time for your training.
There are even good options for teams with no training budget at all.
Use this free workbook: 10 Training Activities to Supercharge Your Team.
You can also get more low and no-cost training ideas from Halelly Azulay's fabulous book, Employee Development on a Shoestring.
Finally, don't forget to prepare your team for training. Here's a handy planner to help make sure everything is ready to go. | 2019-04-19T12:17:43 | https://www.toistersolutions.com/blog/tag/refresher+training |
Unfortunately for me at least, I have to go back to work now. I managed to get a bite of supper down and that’s about it. There is a ton of stuff I need to take care of there anyway so it’s not as if I will be standing around with my thumb up my rear end all night.

Troll dolls last peaked about twenty years ago, but now that the ’90s revival is in full swing, DreamWorks is making a valiant effort to bring back those tiny bright-haired creatures. Coming up from the studio this fall is Trolls, an animated adventure featuring the mellifluous voices of Justin Timberlake (who released his first new single since 2013 for it), Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, Russell Brand, James Corden, and Gwen Stefani.
Timberlake leads the cast as a grumpy troll who must join forces with an extremely chipper troll (Kendrick) to fight a greater evil. Can these total opposites learn to respect each other and work together? Will they be able to vanquish the villain with the power of love and/or joy? Will the cranky one eventually open up to reveal the song in his heart? Tough questions, if you’ve never seen a movie before.
It’s been a good 20 years since trolls were in, but with everything else from the ’90s making it back to the big screen, from Jurassic Park to N.W.A., DreamWorks is hoping they can make trolls happen again in the year 2016. These new trolls are tiny, colorful, CG-animated, and hip to the musics of today, like Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).” Watch these creatures get down in the first Trolls trailer after the jump. | 2019-04-26T12:00:26 | https://www.slashfilm.com/tag/walt-dohrn/ |

Notes: Based on the manga by Fujishima Kousuke.
Tsujimoto Natsumi is brash, outspoken, headstrong, and one of the best motorcycle traffic cops in Tokyo. So when she gets partnered up with calm, contemplative, and meticulous Kobayakawa Miyuki the first day of her new job at Bokutoo precinct, she balks. The two are complete opposites -- and it doesn't help that Miyuki keeps trying to be so blasted nice to her. Anyone with half a brain (Natsume included) would swear that it will never work, and that the newly formed partnership is doomed from the beginning.
But surprise of surprises -- it _does_ work, and the two quickly become the best of friends. Look out, those who speed or run red lights -- Miyuki and Natsumi are on call, and between the two of them there's no case they can't handle!
A warm and fuzzy cop show?? You'd better believe it. You're Under Arrest! is a lighthearted buddy series set in a utopia where maintaining the little foibles of friendship is tougher than actually catching traffic offenders. If there was ever a feel-good cop show of the 90s, You're Under Arrest! would be it. Cute, sweet, and heartwarming, this series is everything a cop show usually isn't.
"How?" you may ask. A good portion of the answer to that question lies in the scope of the series, which could best be described as "scale model anime." All the elements usually associated with a title of the same ilk is there, but on a level a couple of orders of magnitude _smaller_ than it's usually portrayed. Natsume and Miyuki don't chase bank-robbers or serial killers -- they target traffic offenders, people who speed or maybe run a red light. The most "evil" character in the series is a guy who likes to speed on the highway when it rains. There are conflicts and tensions between the members of Bokutou precinct, but they almost always get resolved within the next few minutes, and they're never that serious to begin with. It's almost silly, the way the characters make such big deals out of all the little things that happen, but it somehow works, and it's definitely very cute.
Not everything in this series is scaled down, however. Character design, for example, isn't skimped one bit. Natsumi, for all of her brusqueness and rough edges, is essentially a sweetheart down inside, and if I ever really met someone as sweet as Miyuki, I'd probably have to visit the dentist right away. The character designs are idealized without inducing cynical disbelief in the viewer. You know they _can't_ be real, that they're _too_ nice, but you root for them anyhow because you somehow _want_ to believe in them nonetheless. The smart, sharp animation and art will definitely make you sit up (some of the best I've ever seen in an OAV series), and the lighthearted but well-executed soundtrack definitely adds to the viewing experience.
Sure, it's a bit silly at times and often commits the crime of "making mountains out of molehills," but there's no question about it: You're Under Arrest! is a fun little series just about _anyone_ can watch and enjoy. Too bad they couldn't scale down the price, too (seventeen dollars for a half hour episode?? Argh!).
Recommended Audience: Amazingly enough (or not, depending on how you look at it), there's nothing I could find that could be considered objectionable in this series. There are a few rather exciting car chase scenes, but virtually no crashes, and no one ever gets hurt. Fun for the whole family. | 2019-04-21T20:52:10 | https://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=483 |

All of my life, it seems that I have had to fit art in around the edges of my life. Sometimes, there were multi-year gaps when I did no art. I could usually find time for a little art or a little writing, but not both.
So when I retired, I planned to devote a lot more time to those twin passions of writing and art. When looking for a place to retire, the natural beauty of the location was an important consideration, as was choosing a house that would have space that I could use as a painting studio.
The part of Vancouver Island where we have relocated to is glorious. It is a rural area on the coast that has a little town centre and a strong sense of community. There is a network of trails right outside my door, and I go walking on them several times a week. I take photos on my walks, often thinking that I might use the images later as references for a painting. I have noticed several spots, not too far away, that would great for setting up my easel and doing plein air painting.
For example, the photo below shows of one of my favourite places along the trails. It is a rocky green meadow high above a lake, fringed with evergreens, Garry oaks, and arbutus trees. A little seasonal stream runs through it. I took this photograph on my walk this afternoon.
Along with spectacular views to paint, there is a strong community of artists in the area. In the Fall, I was invited to participate as a guest artist in a weekend art show. Although I exhibited in many juried shows and other group art shows from 1994-2004, and also had a number of solo shows of my work during that period, in recent years I have little time to exhibit. So I was thrilled to be able to participate. I put together some paintings to display, which happened to be the first 21 paintings that came out of the moving boxes. Many of the rest still have not emerged from the boxes yet.
It was wonderful getting to know the other artists, as well as members of the community who came to the art show. Recently, I formally became a member of the art group. This group hosts studio tours during the year, when members of the public are invited to visit the artists in their home studios and see their work. I have already set up the working part of my home studio, but still need to hang my paintings in the section that will be the gallery.
With the help of my daughter, who is an artist and web developer, I have been working on building an artist's website. Unfortunately, over the years, I have not done a good job of documenting my work photographically, or keeping track of all the data about each painting. So over the last few weeks, I have spent many hours sorting through the photos of paintings that I do have (retrieving them from my database of more than 17,000 digital photos!), labelling them, and making them website ready. I need to photograph many paintings for which I do not have digital photos, or only poor quality ones. There is a lot of other "behind the scenes" work in setting up a studio/gallery and being part of a formal group.
It all takes a lot of time. But, I am happy to report that I have finally picked up my brushes and started painting again.
I hope to announce my new website soon. Stay tuned for details about our upcoming Spring Showcase.
This is all wonderful news, Jude. I'd been wondering how things had been going for you the last many weeks, and am delighted to hear that you are full steam ahead in all aspects of your creative life. I look forward to seeing your new website and getting a closer look at your art. Congratulations on the great progress!
Hi Karen. I am really happy and excited about becoming a member of the Nanoose Bay Studio Tour art group. It is a friendly and welcoming group of artists. While I had a painting studio in my last house (which I didn’t use very much), I have never had a home gallery space that is open to the public. So it is very much a learning experience. Somehow, I have become involved in a lot of things, and am finding it hard to find enough time to write many blog posts.
Kathy, when great opportunities arise, I tend to just jump in rather than deliberating too much. I am thrilled to join this art group, and curious about what it will be like having people to come to my home gallery. Fortunately, our first tour is a Spring Art Showcase that will be held in the community centre rather than a tour of home galleries. It gives me a little more time to get my home gallery organized.
Hi, Jude - Congratulations! This is wonderful news! I look forward to viewing your website when it is ready...and taking part in a Studio Tour showcasing your work. Please continue to keep me posted!
Thanks Donna! I had been thinking of the Spring Showcase as being ages and ages away, then suddenly realized that it is less than three weeks until the Easter weekend. That’s when the Spring Showcase will be held. Eeep! How does time go by so fast when you are retired?
Actually, I am wrong about the dates. The Spring Showcase is not at Easter, but rather it is the last weekend in April. Phew - more time to get ready!
Excellent! Your photos, and what I can see of your paintings, are beautiful.
Thanks for your kind words, Anabel. I have posted quite a few photos of paintings in progress on this blog over the years, but rarely have posted images of the finished works. I am looking forward to doing that on my art website soon.
That is so exciting! You are the poster child for a satisfying retirement. I am so looking forward to viewing your website.
Thanks Janis. Throughout my career, I postponed full engagement in so many things that I love to do for lack of time. So there’s a sense of pent up demand to get started and do it all now.
I laughed at your description of me as a poster child for a satisfying retirement. I think I am way too A-type for that, although maybe it’s too early to say. Rob, however, is a true retirement poster child.
Liesbet, you and Mark definitely should come here for a visit. Donna and I could show you around.
Rob and I would love to have you as housesitters, but we have a cat (and a dog), and I know there are cat allergy issues. Fortunately for us, at the present time our son lives with us so we have a built-in house sitter.
Yes, looking through years of digital photos reminded me of many great times, even though it took days to retrieve all the painting photos.
We will take you up on that tour one day, Jude! And, I"d love to see your paintings and art studio.
Congratulations, Jude! I look forward to viewing your web site, and hopefully one day taking part in the Studio Tour showcasing your work in person.
Thanks Natalie. Once the art website is functional, I will announce it on this blog. That would be cool — if you visit Vancouver Island, I’ll have a chance to meet you!
your post are so wonderful,and really this is so helpful for me,I’m so happy for that.thanks dear for awesome sharing.. | 2019-04-23T06:04:06 | http://gideonsockpuppet.blogspot.com/2018/03/time-for-art.html |
With 40 days until the midterm elections, the director of the nationally respected polling institute at Quinnipiac University gave an inside look into the most critical times during an election period.
Every four years, the United States holds midterm elections, general elections near the midpoint of a president’s four-year term of office.
Federal offices that are up for elections are seats in the United States Congress, and all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
While the participation is not very high during the midterms, they can be very important.
Midterms are capable of changing the political landscape and these changes impact the president’s ability to pursue an agenda during the second half of his term.
Students, faculty, and staff were invited to join in on a conversation on Tuesday afternoon to discuss what the Quinnipiac University Poll can tell voters about the 2018 midterm elections.
Douglas Schwartz, PhD, director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, and Mary Snow, polling analyst and spokesperson for the poll, presented their work to the students.
They shared a behind-the-scenes look into the nationally acclaimed organization and discussed what students can learn from polling data in the upcoming election.
Dr. Douglas Schwartz and Mary Snow speaking to Quinnipiac students.
Mary Snow is a polling analyst that joined the Quinnipiac University Poll in July.
“I first learned about the Quinnipiac poll when I was a reporter at CNN,” said Snow. “Our political unit had strict guidelines about polls that could or could not be used in our reporting.
“As you can imagine there is no shortage of topics for us to ask about in these tumultuous times,” Snow said.
Dr. Douglas Schwartz shared his experience of the 2016 presidential election with Quinnipiac students.
Schwartz believes that another issue is the sheer amount of polls on the scene and who is most reliable. The Washington Post recently reached out to the Quinnipiac University Poll to help determine the reliability of a poll.
Schwartz advises students and the media to look to see how an organization conducts their polls.
Schwartz opened the floor to the students and asked why they were motivated to vote in the midterm elections.
“I am motivated to vote [in the midterm elections] because I think that we need change,” said senior Rachel Beaulieu.
In a recent national poll, voters were asked how motivated they were to vote in the 2018 midterm elections.
“Sixty-five percent of the people we polled said that they were extremely motivated to vote in the midterm elections,” said Schwartz.
Some students believed that there are barriers in place that make them unmotivated to register to vote in the midterm elections, such as living in Connecticut and the difficulty registering to vote while at college.
Professor Scott McLean, a political science professor, reminded students that it isn’t too late to register to vote in the midterm elections.
“If you have a cell phone and go to the secretary of state's website, you can fill out a form on your phone today,” said McLean.
Snow thinks that the midterms are important because it is the first time we've seen elections to congress after President Trump was elected.
“What about all of these policies that have been put into place, now you, the voter, has the opportunity to weigh in,” Snow said.
The Quinnipiac University Poll has a standard question asking if voters support or oppose stricter gun control laws in the country. Their experiment simply changed the language used in the question by changing one simple word, control.
“The word control has a negative connotation,” Schwartz said.
Whether you follow polls such as Quinnipiac's, Schwartz reminds students that their votes matter. Across the country, 36 states are holding elections for governor, local politicians matter, making students votes in local elections matter. | 2019-04-22T08:27:04 | https://www.hqpress.org/blog-2/2018/9/27/a-look-into-the-quinnipiac-polling-institute |
Wine lovers know about Napa. They know Sonoma, Santa Ynez, Paso Robles, even Temecula.
David Stone Jr., 49, hopes one day they’ll add Big Bear Lake to the list. No kidding.
Stone has planted what he says is the highest-altitude commercial vineyard in the northern hemisphere, surpassing the Terror Creek Winery in Colorado, east of Grand Junction, which sits at 6,417 feet. The Stone Summit Winery in Big Bear Lake is at 6,750 feet.
Behind the cottages of Wolf Creek Resort on Big Bear Boulevard, not far from the Snow Summit ski resort, Stone last year planted two acres of vineyards with about a half-dozen varietals ranging from Riesling to cabernet sauvignon.
He hopes to have a mountain-grown Riesling and chardonnay ready by 2016, or before. But he’s not waiting until then to activate his winery.
“In the interim, we have a vintner’s license,” he said. With grapes from other regions, the winery has produced a moscato and a chardonnay. He plans to uncork the first bottle of moscato July 4 in the resort’s wine room. The chardonnay should be ready by Labor Day, he said.
Even if Stone plants the entire 15 acres of land he has available, he doesn’t expect to ever be a big producer.
The passion comes from Stone’s own love of wine, his lifelong connection with Big Bear Lake — four generations of his family have owned property there, he said — and a desire to amplify the profile of the resort town.
Stone has been a commercial contractor for most of his life, and his other local projects seem logical extensions. He owns two other resorts in the Big Bear Lake. He recently converted the downtown movie theater into a live concert venue. And he plans to open a brewery in a few months.
The wine-making operation is the only project that seems likely to raise eyebrows. So far, he said, he’s heard of no one else planning to follow his lead.
“I don’t think anybody else is crazy enough,” he said.
High-altitude wine growing is not unheard of. There is little in the United States, outside of Colorado’s Terror Creek, but winemakers in the Mendoza region of Argentina have been planting vineyards at elevations of 5,000 feet and higher. Recently, Donald Hess, of Napa Valley’s Hess Collection, planted vines there at nearly 10,000 feet.
George Walker, 54, of Rancho Cucamonga, is Stone’s winemaker. He has been making wine for families in the Rancho Cucamonga region for years, he said. He sees no reason why grapes can’t thrive at Big Bear Lake.
Such temperatures are rare in the resort town.
Walker said that with the exception of two rows of vines that weren’t irrigated properly, all of the grapes planted last year are thriving. Clusters of tiny fruit already are appearing on the vines.
He expects the Riesling and gewürztraminer varietals he has planted to do the best in the cold weather, and he’s hoping the altitude will impart a unique character to the grapes’ flavor, though he doesn’t know what it will be.
His wine-making colleagues are intrigued, he said. | 2019-04-26T03:51:53 | http://firesidelodge.net/?p=3898 |

Chicago video producer, Ellie Foreman, has been absent from thriller author Libby Fischer Hellmann’s repertoire for almost a decade. Now she’s back...and soon entangled in a web of espionage, murder and suspicion that threatens to destroy what she holds most dear.
Hired to produce a candyfloss profile of Chicago-based aviation giant, Delcroft, Ellie is dismayed when company VP Charlotte Hollander, the architect of a new anti-drone system for Delcroft, trashes the production and cancels the project. Ellie believes Hollander was spooked by shots of a specific man in the video footage. But when Ellie arranges to meet the man to find out why, he’s killed by a subway train before they can talk. In the confusion, she finds a seemingly abandoned pack of cigarettes with a flash drive inside that belonged to the now dead man.
Ellie has the drive’s contents decrypted, but before long she discovers she’s under surveillance. Suspecting Delcroft and the ambitious Hollander are behind it, she’s unconvinced when Hollander tells her the dead man was a Chinese spy. Ellie and her boyfriend Luke try to find answers, but they don’t realize how far they’ve gone into the dangerous echelons of hidden power where more lives are on the line, including their own.

Tiny clouds of dust exploded whenever the boy kicked the stone down the road. He’d found it two hundred yards back as he skirted the herd of cattle. Flat and round, it looked like a small naan baked by the men in the village, except it was black. That was unusual around these parts; the summer sun bleached everything, including rocks, pasty white. A good omen, he thought, and he made sure to kick with his right foot, to lengthen the trajectory of the stone.
His destination was the madrassa at the village mosque. In a few weeks, he’d be picking cotton in his family’s fields, but until the plants blossomed and the bolls split apart, his parents allowed him to attend school. The boy didn’t know how much longer that would last. But the boy didn’t go very often. Over the past few months the atmosphere at the mosque had changed. Now a palpable energy bounced off the stone walls. Men he didn’t know, men with flowing robes and beards, had come to the village, talking urgently about things he didn’t understand.
He tried not to take notice. Only nine, he was more interested in playing tag, learning football, and sucking down the sweets his parents allowed him when they traveled into the city of Aksu three hours away. But it was difficult not to listen when the men sat all the boys down and lectured them about joining jihad. In fact, when he told his father about it one evening, his father scowled and put down his pipe.
“On the Skype,” his father cut in.
“Yes. The Skype,” she repeated. She shook her head. The wonder of the technology still astonished her. “It is like she is in the next room, not halfway around the world.” She smiled.
His mother straightened up. “I pray you are right.” They exchanged another glance. The boy caught it but didn’t know what it meant. He was excited at the prospect of going into town. They were too poor to have their own computer, but he was spellbound by the machines and their power. When he grew up he wanted his own Internet café with all the monitors and printers and Internet connections. He was a curious child, his parents said. Like his sister. To be able to contact anyone on earth at any time, to explore the world whenever he wanted, was the most thrilling activity he could imagine. Already he was anticipating what he would look for tomorrow. His sister always gave him suggestions for places he could search on the Google.
“Of course, we will only go if you have done all your chores,” his father said.
So Yusup made sure to feed the goats and cows, sweep the floor, and help Ana in the kitchen. Still, it was early when he finished, and there was nothing to do. Most of his friends were at the madrassa. His parents gave him permission to meet them at the close of instruction. He hoped someone would have a ball.
He kissed his parents good-bye and set out for the madrassa. On his way to the village he passed the stream, flush from the spring thaw. The stubbles of grass that sprouted on its banks were a stark contrast to the red rocky mountains that hung heavy and silent in the distance. This was his corner of the world, but he wondered what other places looked like. He’d seen pictures of big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. And, of course, the American cities of New York and Chicago, where his sister now lived. He swung his arms and smiled as he kicked the stone. He had much to look forward to: an afternoon of football with friends, and tomorrow a trip into town.
A few huts indicated he was nearing the village. He quickened his pace and soon the squat buildings of the mosque, the village hall, and the marketplace came into view. He leaned over, picked up the stone, and slipped it into his pocket. As he did, a buzzing sound above pierced the silence. He looked up. He couldn’t see anything, but the whining persisted. Sometimes he caught a glint way up in the sky. His father had said those glints were airplanes full of people traveling around the world. He expected to see the sun reflecting off one now and waited. But there was nothing: no reflection, no metallic glitter. Instead, the buzz got louder. Like thousands of wasps hovering inches from his ears.
He started to jog toward the village buildings. Something was wrong. He needed to get inside. Protect himself from the wasps. All at once a hissing sound mixed with a soft thwack overpowered the buzz.
A great white light flashed and obliterated all sight and sound. | 2019-04-25T18:37:11 | http://www.booksandfandom.com/2016/02/jump-cut-ellie-foreman-mysteries-by.html |
