Please let me know if you need any images or want to borrow products for photography.

The show is on between the 25 and 29 of May. Lloyd Loom of Spalding can be found at stand number EA85 on the Eastern Avenue.
Their London Showroom located on the Pimlico Road, which adjoins the Royal Hospital Road where the show takes place, will be open as usual.

The Travelling Souk Season is upon us. Owners of beautiful manor houses will once more throw open their doors to stall holders and by doing so make money for their chosen charity (10% of each purchase goes to a charity). It is a great way to find special, unusual gifts and products you cannot find in department stores, and at the same time wander around houses that are not normally open to the public.
This year the list is even longer than last and unusually kicks off in May with an event at Leeds Castle on 22nd and 23 May.
Eighteen one or two day private events are to be held in beautiful houses and exciting venues, like Ascot Race course, during the autumn of 2010. Each event has up to 55 stallholders selling superb quality wares ranging from luxurious cashmere clothes and throws to delicate silver jewellery and ornaments. All can be seen decorating the hosts’ furniture from boot room to bedroom giving the feel of a real Arabian souk.
Travelling Souk events happen all over the UK and have raised well over £300,000 for charity since 2003. Over the years they have travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, from Dundee to Devon and from Norwich to Newport. Charities that have benefited are many and varied and include, Maggies Cancer Caring Centres, JDRF, Marie Curie Cancer Care, and Help for Heroes.
The magical ingredients that keep visitors coming back to The Travelling Souk can be summed up in three words: location, temptation and sensation. The venues are captivating and extraordinary; unseen manor houses of Great Britain sprinkled with a liberal dose of revamped barns and racecourses.
Tickets for the events are available on the Travelling Souk website. If you are not able to visit an event, you can find many of the exquisite products on www.thetravellingsouk.com supporting The Travelling Souk’s online charities, Breast Cancer Haven and Leonard Cheshire Disability. | 2019-04-22T10:29:33 | http://www.gertsenpr.com/category/events/ |
Connections to municipal water supply by Excav Services will require a few weeks to process. From Permit through inspections and backfill Excav will coordinate and perform the installation of the service.
Domestic water services usually are short runs of ¾” to 1.5” copper pipe. Longer runs might be a mixture of copper and Poly pipe to reduce costs as copper is expensive.
Contractors install services to the owner’s property line where the utility of jurisdiction will come and install the meter and make final connection to the main.
In these cases the utility will often charge a hook-up fee in addition to the contractors charges to run the line to the street. Please note municipal wells are driven to the deepest depths and the cleanest water available, are tested continuously and are regularly disinfected. Hooking up to municipal water allows you to discontinue using your well and will better protect you from unhealthy effects of industrial and farming chemicals that have seeped into the upper groundwater layers.

The perfect measure of elite athleticism, and competince in the 10 domains of fitness, is the overhead squat. It’s as hard as any movement gets, and nothing strengthens your core like the OHS.
It’s been said by many great coaches that if you can OHS your body weight for 15 reps, you are elite. Today, we are going to take on this measure of elite fitness. If we can’t squat body weight, then we’ll do 95lbs for reps.

Once again I’m back with another nail design.
Today’s nail is what I call the “Peter Pan Collar Nails”.
I’ve used ibd JULIET Gel Color as base.
The collar is made using lace nail stickers which I got from DAISO.
Hello! I’m back with another post before CNY approaches.
Lately, I’ve been going around looking for a two-tier silver tray for my jewelries and accessories.
I was thinking, since my jewelries and accessories are catching up with my lingeries (What a weak analogy~lol) I thought I should go and look for something larger that can accomodate all of my little things from hair pins to jewelries and accessories.
but as year goes by, my jewelries and accessories start to pile up and it can no longer hold all of my stuff and therefore I decided to look for something larger.
Today’s post will be on nails … YES! Again!
I’ve changed my nail design for the 3rd time now in less than a week time.
This is what I call the ‘Tiffany Nails’.
I think this nail design is more of a bridal nail design.
This design simply popped up from no where when I started painting the Gelish Sea Foam color onto my index nail.
Today will be on haul from Platinum Fashion Mall.
I hope this will be helpful / informative enough for first-timers to Bangkok.
Practically, I’ve completed scanning through all the shops since I went there on 3 consecutive days.
I didn’t expect this mall to be like that as in NICE?!
I don’t know how to describe this but when others told me that it’s a wholesale mall, I would imagine a mall something like Sungei Wang in Malaysia or some kind of undecorated shops with piles of clothing left unattended or something like that, if you get what I mean here..
The minute I stepped in the mall, some of the shops that are nicely decorated actually captured my attention!!
My first ever trip to Bangkok.
Many told me that I will like Bangkok and it’s also an alternative place to shop for fashion goods besides Japan.
So, I finally booked a ticket and landed in Bangkok on the 19th of Jan with an empty luggage.
On the day of arrival, after leaving our bags in the hotel, we went straight to Chatuchak Market (also known as JJ Market).
To my surprise, it wasn’t that stuffy and hot as I imagined and there are many lovely designer shops.
Christmas is around the corner and I’m sure everyone is busy with the preparations..
So, I guess around this time everyone is rushing here and there looking for presents.
I know some of you might be attending some X’mas parties too.
What I actually wanna suggest here is that you can probably make a character bento set as a gift or even make it to bring to parties (potluck).
As you can see, the 2 below is made for a friend as a gift for her birthday.
Currently am using this really cute iPhone case which I bought online.
It’s made in Korea and I love the texture of this case.
Oh well! The little stuff that I’m supposed to mention is that cute handmade bulldog charm which is from Che Che.
I heard that Che Che boutique in Midvalley has closed down and I’m not too sure where in Malaysia that you’ll be able to get their stuff now.
The things they sell in their boutique are extremely cute but kinda expensive, especially those small bitsy items like coin pouch, charms and etc.
Partly also because most/all of the charms are handmade and their workmanship is really fine!
I remember they’ve got Hello Kitty collections too from bags to charms and it’s super duper cute!!
Well, that’s all on this post.
That’s all about my little stuff.
It’s the latest iPod Touch 5g that is not available in stores in Malaysia yet.
I love the color. It’s nicer than I thought actually.
Cos at first I thought the pink doesn’t look very pink.
From pictures, it looks a little peachy but it’s not close to peach either.
It’s more to the pink + red + peach = ?!
Anyways, I would say it’s a very unique color.
Here are my precious iPhone Cases that I got mostly from Japan.
I thought I have like 10 or more cases but I actually have around 9 only!! | 2019-04-24T03:55:35 | http://missuety.com/category/collections/page/3/ |

The Mars Society is pleased to announce that Dr. Abigail Fraeman, a research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will provide a detailed review of several Mars rover missions, including Curiosity and Opportunity, and planning for Mars 2020 at the 21st Annual International Mars Society Convention, scheduled for August 23-26, 2018 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, CA.
Her experience with NASA missions to the Red Planet are extensive, having served as Deputy Project Scientist for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission, Participating Scientist for the Mars Science Laboratory and Co-I for the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM). Dr. Fraeman’s research focuses on the origin and evolution of terrestrial bodies in the solar system and has concentrated recently on investigating how the complex geologic histories of Mars and its moons are preserved in their rock records.
Dr. Fraeman received a B.S. in Physics and Geology & Geophysics from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Earth & Planetary Science from Washington University (St. Louis). She was also the recipient of the P.E.O.

"It’s one of the true pleasures of our job to see a client’s success, and even more so be asked back to work on their next venture."
It’s one of the true pleasures of our job to see a client’s success, and even more so be asked back to work on their next venture. The original Harry & Frankie in Port Melbourne struck just the right note with its wine bar-bottleshop combination that celebrates fun and frivolity over serious and snobbery, so there was no doubt that north-siders would get the same kick out of it.
Teaming up with Harrison Interiors means top-shelf materials and interesting designs with a graphic edge. Here we worked in gorgeous bespoke steelwork for wine racking and hi-top tables, solid timber for days and custom bar panelling. In this complete overhaul of a Victorian era pub’s first floor, the pared back palette, honed stone benches and custom-made stained glass panels sit superbly alongside original ornate cornices, ceiling roses and large arched windows. Venture out the French doors and you’ll find our bench seating and planterbox, the perfect rooftop for a tipple amongst the Fitzroy treetops.

Will Google's OS Make the Desktop Safe?
Israeli company Red Bend filed a lawsuit this week against Google, charging the search giant with infringing one of its patents.
The suit alleges that Google uses Red Bend's patented technology in Courgette, a method Google uses to compress updates and send them to its Chrome browser.
Courgette is a compression algorithm that Google developed to shrink the size of updates in order reduce bandwidth requirements for Google and its users, and also to reduce the potential for vulnerabilities, it says on a page describing the technology.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the suit also charges Google with publishing and distributing the source code for Red Bend's technology. That charge may stem from the fact that Chrome and the Courgette update system are open source.
Red Bend claims that Google has known about the patent, which Red Bend filed for in 1998 and was granted in 2003, since Sept. 7 this year. As a result, Red Bend is asking for triple damages and attorney's fees.
Google said it had not yet been served with the suit and therefore would not comment on it.
Red Bend, which also has offices in Waltham, Massachusetts, develops software management products primarily for the mobile phone industry. Phone makers, operators and software developers use the products to manage and update their software on phones. | 2019-04-24T18:22:07 | https://www.pcworld.com/article/174612/article.html |

In order to facilitate this process and to serve as the educational liaison for District foster children, the District will designate _Director of Special Services_ to oversee and assess the District’s foster care program.
The Board recognizes students in foster care experience mobility in and out of the foster care system and from one home placement to another that may disrupt their education, and which may create barriers to academic success and on-time graduation. The District, in collaboration with state and local agencies, to minimize or eliminate educational barriers for students in foster care, particularly in enrollment, transfer of student records, and transportation to their school of origin, where appropriate. For purposes of this policy, “school of origin” is the school in which the student is enrolled at the time of placement in foster care. The District will, to the largest extent possible, ensure that a child in foster care enrolls or remains in his or her school of origin, unless a determination is made that remaining in the student’s school of origin is not in the student’s best interest. | 2019-04-22T14:20:36 | http://www.moconed.com/district/RichlandRIV/district.php?pol=1434 |
Two miles away from the Sailing Club in Benidorm, you can find the island of Benidorm. It takes 45 minutes to get there, rowing with no rush. Once you arrive you will land (bring waterproof shoes!) and ascend by feet to the summit. The views are truly magnificent. You can also have a bath and do snorkelling.
Capitán Kayak reserves the right to modify or cancel the activity due to weather conditions affecting safety (wind, sea…) with a full refund.
The thin, golden sand, the crystal clear waters and the clean, preserved beaches are identity signs of the touristic city of Benidorm.
In the north, you can find two small sand and rock beaches, called Cala del Tio Ximo and Cala Almadrava, very suitable for scuba diving and solitary baths.
After these beaches, the Playa de Levante promenade starts, a very busy area, full of services.
In the south, the Playa de Poniente is also very beautiful, full of services. Something both have in common is that in the winter the sun bathes them until the sunset, and in summer, until eight in the evening. | 2019-04-22T07:01:20 | https://www.xmigrations.com/en/reservar/kayak-route-island-benidorm-alicante/ |

Liz Moriondo opens up her mouth to sing, and out comes a blend of Shania Twain’s breathy perfection and Bonnie Raitt’s sensual, bluesy grit. If you listen closely enough, you can still hear the Ozark Mountains of her native Missouri where she first started singing in front of audiences at the age of 3. As all of us know, it takes guts to make the big move to Nashville. But after 2 years of intense college basketball and poli-sci debates, at Drury University in Springfield, MO, Liz knows how to face down a challenge. She has opened for numerous artists including Lee Brice, Thompson Square, and Sara Evans, and has played side stages for Tim McGraw, Train, One Republic, Big & Rich, and many more. Just recently Liz was sought out by A-list producer David Huff to work on her newest project with the top players and engineers in Nashville. | 2019-04-20T16:21:11 | https://puckettsgro.com/nashville/event/liz-moriondo-8-31-18/ |
A great bag today, from just up the road from me in the UK. And this one has Marmite in it too. One of my favourite things in the whole world.
I’ve been taking photographs since I was about 13, when my Grandad gave me my first camera, a Practica LTL , heavy as a house brick and similar in shape. I used this camera religiously, all through my photography A Level, until the age of 18, when it was stolen. I replaced it with a Canon EOS 100, which I still have today. I didn’t get on with the Canon very and started to loose interest in photography until towards the end of my fine art sculptural ceramics degree in 1996. I was asked to photograph the groups work for the exhibition catalogue, I dusted down my EOS, bought some slide film and got to work. This re-stirred the latent photographer in me, and I slowly started to get back into taking my camera with me everywhere. After university I got a job as a projectionist in a cinema for a few years then as a photography technician at a college, where the photography geek in me really started to fight his way to the surface. A few years ago, I studied for a Masters Degree in photography and passed my teacher training course, and now I’m the course leader for A level photography at a large inner city college, surrounded by photography all day, every day – it’s fantastic!
I’ve never taken to digital photography, OK, I teach it as part of my job (although I still insist the students learn film and darkroom skills) and I understand that it has it’s place/purpose in photography, but I don’t actually own a digital camera, well, other than my iPhone, which I use quite a lot. If I need to do a project that would benefit from using a digital camera I borrow one from work. I do, however, have a large collection of vintage cameras, around 200 at the moment, which I’m slowly working my way through and blogging about them when time permits.
I’m also one of the founding members of Leicester Lo-Fi Photography, a community based photography group that promotes the use of all the alternative and lo-fi aspects of photography. We run workshops and courses on pinholes, solargraphs, Kamra-e-faoree workshops, film processing, darkroom skills, alternative printing methods, and so on. We also set projects for the members and produce exhibitions from their work. We have just started to apply for funding to secure premises to set up a permanent drop in darkroom and studio facilities, so that’s all pretty exciting.
So, my camera bag then, well, it always holds my Olympus Trip, a present from my girlfriend, as well as the current camera I’m blogging about, or another camera depending on what I’m doing, this can range from a Bronica ETRSi, a polaroid camera, or a home made pinhole camera, it pretty much changes week by week. I always have a good supply of film, mostly black and white, but some colour as well, just in case. The little blue guy in the middle is Cam, my ‘film god’, he’s my good luck charm when I’m out taking photos – this came about via my ceramics degree, where we would make kiln gods to sit on the top of the kiln,to look after and protect the work being fired, a tradition that goes back thousands of years to ancient China and Greece.
I think the ‘In Your Bag’ project is awesome, seeing all the different cameras people use, it’s made me aware of some of the cool cameras that are out there, ones that I want to add to my collection and try out.
Thanks for sharing your gear with us Daryl. That trip is very cool.
That’s it! cool, very cool!
Where did you get those film containers?
Hi, the film holders are Peca Products Pro 35mm film stores, I them from Amazon a few years ago, not sure if they’re still available.
I love that tape on a spool idea. I’m so going to use it. I’m going to put it in one of bellamy’s 120 film holders. And carry 4 rolls out for a day of shooting. | 2019-04-24T04:59:07 | https://www.japancamerahunter.com/2013/10/bag-668-daryl-tebbutt/ |

I never usually find myself at Starbucks. I've been there a few times, perhaps by invitation or by obligation, but I never really imagined myself as one of those people who go here for a cup of coffee and a laptop. Perhaps they're doing work, or just surfing casually, while sipping on those green straws with chocolate bits left behind.
Today, I'm stuck in one of those establishments, waiting for a little under two hours before I could start my first driving lessons. (That, in a future entry.) I'm stuck with a laptop, to top it all off, blogging because inspiration has supposedly struck me, while I'm sipping my tall Java chip off those green straws. Sure, this scene might become a regular one when the time comes, but there's ultimately this question: will it even happen?
Perhaps it's the association I have with magazine writers, and how they always seem to live a fairly glamorous lifestyle, despite word that writing doesn't really get you anywhere. Sure, writing for one is hard work - the fact that you're already doing just that means you're experienced and hardened by years of running around for fresh articles - but eventually it boils down to that image of a bespectacled writer, typing away on a laptop while getting a caffeine high.
I was flipping through those magazines today. How they do it still amazes me - that, or how they manage to look glamorous in it.
For some reason, I seem to be drifting back to my initial ambition of being a writer. Perhaps it's the culmination of my radio frustrations - realizing that it's something I could have been forcing through my throat for the past two years, to negative effect - or perhaps it's because of my decisions as of late, to write as if I was asked to do so, and to do so with such a passion, or whatever excuse I have for it. I used to call it a fall back, and now that's where I seem to be drifting to, at least judging by the job I have taken.
And perhaps it's my frustration that's leading me to think that I don't really know where to go. I might've blamed it on the nature of my studies - of it being a jack-of-all-trades thing, with veiled options of specialization - but despite me continuing with what I think I should know, it still leads me nowhere. It might seem that I'm somewhat on the right track, with me already having a job and at least an idea on where to go, but deep inside me I'm still the frustrated, clueless person that I've always become, looking for directions when there aren't, and thus eternally lost.
Then, there are the contributors. One is seasoned, and has worked his way up the ladder; the other's just plain lucky, having written fiction before becoming this and that of this and that. I could've thought about my options, and should've worked on them when I had the chance, but now I'm here and totally unsure, I wonder. How did they go about it? How did they get there? Can I still get there, or is it too late?
A piece of career advice for the uninitiated, at least from my father, simply goes: start with something you've wanted to do. He says it's hard to start elsewhere and go towards what you really dream of in the long run. I'm partly thankful that I started here, even if I'm really apprehensive about it, hoping - and I won't lie to it - that I'll leave to tell everybody stories, and hopefully be fulfilled by it. Perhaps my writing stretches at Starbucks would come later, but who can tell? It will ultimately depend on whether I've done the right things now. And right now, well, it's starting to feel that I'm five years too late for the game. | 2019-04-25T00:30:59 | https://www.theupper.blog/2008/06/glossy-magazines.html |
After work, myself and Ben Carr headed out on a brief chase. After traffic and storm choice frustrations, we found ourselves on a beautiful supercell transiting the north side of the metro area. ... and I had a flat tire.
... and then another supercell behind the first.
... and a special thanks to Brian Barnes of http://www.stormchase.com/ for lending me a jack to help me change my flat. I appreciate it!!!
Lovely photos Dann, sure is nice when you don't have to drive hunnerds of miles to see beauties like that. Not sure what to make of that first pic, I can't quite resolve a tube there but then I'm half blind anyway. Sure like that last shot tho!
Could you send another storm up here please? Thunderstorm not snowstorm.
Awesome shots man! Looked like some great structure up there. Bummer about the tire!
That's it, I think it's time to move to Denver! Great work Dann!
Boomer: Thank you! It really is... especially when they hold off for when I get off of work!
It's hard to see the "tornado" in that first pic. I've seen others' photos and video who were right under it and in reality, it was a tall, skinny wall that had brief spinups under it. I believe that is what the photo shows as opposed to a thick, classic tornado. It was never fully condensed. | 2019-04-25T09:07:33 | http://blog.bigskyconvection.com/2010/05/2010-storm-chase-17-teaser-may-26th.html |
Will and Jacob Grimm (Matt Damon and Heath Ledger) are frauds posing as professional ghostbusters. They fabricate hauntings based on local folklore, then conveniently show up to purge the demons for a considerable price. They meet their match when they encounter a real enchanted forest that is dominated by a cursed queen who is kidnapping children. Pressed into service by a wicked French general (Jonathan Pryce), the Grimms must face and overcome the terrors of the forest (as well as the French army) and rescue the children.
Another visually stunning masterpiece from Terry Gilliam, full of awe and beauty. As you would expect, the set design and art direction are suberb. The special effects are very good for the most part, although there are numerous shots and compositions that look cheap and downright awful. The acting is quite good, with all of the characters giving lively and engaging performances. The weakest aspect of the film turns out to be the story and its sugary sweet happy ending. The film literally falls apart at its climax, and then insults you with its "happily ever after" proceedings. Curiously, similar films like Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) and Christophe Gans' "Le Pacte Des Loups" (2001) suffer from the same problems. The premise of the Grimms being charlatans also spoils the tone of the film and dilutes the sensation of magic. The film would have worked much better if the Grimms were REAL ghostbusters and all of the magic and fantasy of their world was real. There's also an uninteresting sibling rivalry subplot that derails the story, and the humor in the film is sorely misplaced. Some of the dialog is suprisingly bad, and characters often overstate things that are better left unsaid. Still, the film is definitely a treat for the eyes, and if you like Gilliam's visual flair, you'll definitely enjoy "The Brothers Grimm." | 2019-04-22T05:04:37 | http://alex-in-wonderland.com/MovieReviews/Domestic-B/BrothersGrimm.html |

Honorable Chairman Lee Nam-ju and members of the Board, outgoing President Park Chul, fellow professors, staff and students, President Kwon Sun-han and members of the Alumni Association , thank you for joining us in this inauguration ceremony.
I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to other important guests for honoring this occasion with your presence: former Minister of Education, Science, and Technology Ahn Byeong-man, President Oh Yeon-cheon of the Seoul National University, Ambassadors, and my formal supervisor, Professor William Boyer, Professors Marian and Howard Palley, and many more.
Just moments ago, I accepted the office of the 10th President of the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies along with the mandate of leading the university towards 100 years based on six decades of established values. First, I would like to thank my predecessor, President Park Chul, who has demonstrated steadfast leadership for the past eight years and is leaving behind a legacy of excellent achievements. As president, I pledge to continue that legacy and to do my utmost to advance HUFS as the finest educational institution of Korea as well as a world-class university. I will devote myself to building a dignified, captivating HUFS.
Established in 1954, amidst the ashes of the war, HUFS was at the heart of the modernization of Korea and has been the driving engine behind the modern power of the Republic of Korea. Following the forward thinking vision of the university’s late founder, Kim Heung-bae, HUFS has nurtured human capital based on foreign language and regional studies education. Our university is facing with the demands of the era. We must move beyond the unidirectional, inward looking paradigm of academic tradition where foreign languages and literature is brought in from overseas and disseminated domestically. We must evolve towards a convergent, outward looking paradigm of academic advancement that disseminates information, knowledge, and the culture of Korea. This is the future of HUFS, a roadmap towards 100 years that is uniquely HUFS in style.
As president, I will implement the initiatives that were promised for the improvement of competitiveness and promotion of the university.
First, I will work to strengthen HUFS’s core competencies: its language and regional studies programs. Using this as a basis, I will strive to realize creative convergence of academic fields. I will work to achieve interdisciplinary convergence, transcending the barriers of the sciences, humanities, business and economics, social sciences, law, and so on. The integrated Seoul and Global Campuses, starting from this year, will serve as a foundation for such an endeavor.
In addition, I will continue to carry out the campus infrastructure improvement project that is currently underway. I will spur the process of modernizing the Global Campus as well as securing transport infrastructure to realize the idea of a “campus you want to visit, a campus that you want to stay in.” I will create a “campus town”, expanding the reaches of the Seoul Campus and overcoming its spatial limitations. The planned HUFS hospital, if built, will serve as a cornerstone for the establishment of HUFS medical school. I will keep all possibilities open and pool the wisdom of all those involved to ensure it happens.
To ensure the continued development of our university, securing funds is essential. I recommend, and ask for the continued support and guidance of the board members and Alumni Association members in improving our financial condition. As a result, the university will actively expand cooperation between the public, private, and academic sectors. In particular, I will take the initiative in securing large scale research service contracts. Internally, I will improve administrative professionalism in the school’s profit-making businesses to improve revenue.
One of the phrases that my lifetime mentor Ahn Byeong-man is fond of is the “art of association”. When managing HUFS, I will adhere to the wisdom in this phrase, and will not reject anyone because of differences in opinion and choices. Even if a conflict of interest arises, if those involved are part of HUFS, I will respect and accept them.
Let us endure and breathe together, encourage each other in unison as we reach for the goal of HUFS development. Let us remember and repay the sweat and tears of all who stand beside us. We must never forget to be fair in our assessment of past accomplishments and in the sharing of the rewards. My wish is that together, we can create a free and peaceful university full of passion. I will always stand in the places most full of difficulties, amidst the lowest ebbs.
HUFS is on the verge of taking the next step towards 100 years and of becoming a different HUFS. I ask for your support for HUFS as it contributes to national development and the prosperity of humanity through its values of Truth, Peace, and Creation. I hope for your continued interest in HUFS.
I wish for the good fortune of all who have taken the time out of their busy schedules to be here today, and extend my heartfelt gratitude. | 2019-04-20T14:49:35 | https://builder.hufs.ac.kr/user/hufsenglish/gen_3_1.jsp |

I received this email today, I had to share it… if anyone knows who wrote this, let me now, I would love to give credit!
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, ‘I don’t get it!
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or…. I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude…. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything .. | 2019-04-24T00:15:06 | https://nanakasha.com/blog/2010/01/14/life-is-a-choice/ |

Rice crispy treats are an oldie but a goodie. I mean, who doesn’t love a rice crispy treat?! They have become quite popular around here. So much so, that my youngest son had them as his “cake” for his 3rd birthday. Along with, you guessed it, Homemade marshmallows.
But let’s take it a step further. We live near the strawberry capital of the world! Well, maybe not the world but I think you get my point. We are approaching strawberry season and with that comes the Florida Strawberry Festival. It’s kind of a big deal around these parts. So with this strawberry theme and it being near Valentine’s Day, I thought I would make something really special and unique. Strawberry rice crispy treats.
Yeah… They were pretty righteous.
So, how did I cram all that strawberry flavor into these guys without artificial flavoring? With the use of freeze dried strawberries. Using freeze dried fruit is a great way to get the flavor you want without the water content from the actual fruit. And since it’s freeze dried, the flavor is much more concentrated, so you get the full on flavor.
I also used the small blender attachment from my ninja to grind the strawberries into a powder, however, a coffee grinder can be used as well. If using a coffee grinder, make sure that it is thoroughly cleaned.
These make a great Valentine’s treat for school, friends, loved ones, or just yourself. These treats are naturally gluten free, too. Even with the extra step of grinding the freeze dried strawberries, it is a simple dessert that even the kids can do. Especially the licking of the sticky marshmallow bowl. Full on fights have occurred here for that sticky, sweet bowl.
And if you’re more of a purist, I’ve got you covered. An original recipe is also included.
Happy day of love and treats.
Generously butter a 13×9 baking pan with parchment paper with some hanging room on the sides and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp of fresh lime juice to the strawberry powder in a bowl until it becomes a thick paste; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, measure 12 cups of rice cereal and mix in marshmallows in layers of every two cups of cereal poured; set aside. This will make for pockets of marshmallow goodness in the treats.
Melt butter over low heat in a large pot. Once butter is melted, add all ingredients but strawberry paste, vanilla and salt. Cook and stir over low heat until marshmallows are completely melted then add the remaining ingredients until blended and smooth.
Immediately pour marshmallow mixture over rice cereal and gently stir until cereal is evenly coated. You will need to work quickly here!
***Original rice crispy treats: just omit the strawberry powder and lime juice for the original rice crispy recipe, and increase the vanilla to 1 Tablespoon.
When using cookie cutters, you can fold or push the treats into each other to get the most cut out shapes. Kind of like you would sugar cookie dough.
You can add all sorts of extras, such as, nuts, chocolate chunks, sprinkles, bacon! Insert wild streak here! | 2019-04-25T08:33:01 | https://littleredbirdkitchen.com/tag/marshmallows/ |
During multiple trips to Austin, TX for the annual SXSW (Professional conference equivalent for the Music & Film Industry), we get the opportunity to see tons of music. some we have heard and are already fans of, some we run across and become fans of. First time I came across this band, Uncle Lucius from South Austin, TX, was on the way home after a weekend of fun (I mean professional conferencing). They were actually set up in the airport terminal jamming. Where else in the world other than Austin can you find a live band playing in the airport terminal? Well anyway, I had the chance to hear a couple of songs before I boarded the plane for home. Thought they were really good, so I looked them up online, bought a couple of songs, and pencilled them in as a must see for next year’s SXSW.
By the following year, I had already downloaded as many of their songs that I could, and was hooked. We all discuss at the beginning of SXSW, who everyone wants to see. Uncle Lucius was the only thing on my list. One midnight, we went to see them play at a local hole in the wall and they did not disappoint. These guys are old school cool. When you see them take the stage, you can’t help to think to yourself “These guys are rock stars”. Not only are they rock stars, some of the friendliest wholesome musicians you will find anywhere, simply put, really nice guys.
Made up of Kevin Galloway on vocals and rhythm guitar, Mike Carpenter on lead guitar, harmonica and vocals, Hal Vorpahl on bass and pulled together by Josh Greco on drums, Uncle Lucius has a sound remnant of 1970′s southern rock with a modern twist that you do not hear on the radio today, a sound that could be compared to the Black Crowes and make the Allman Brothers proud.
There first album from 2006 Something They Ain’t, gives the listener a chance to break into their unique sound with great vocals and guitar licks. The lyrics to Liquor Store make you have flash backs to the south in the 70′s. I am not sure if Kevin lived that life or not, but his soulful delivery makes you think he did. 97 Reasons will make you get up off your couch and move a bit, the number one reason is some really cool guitar playing by Mike Carpenter.
The most recent studio record from 2009′s Pick Your Head Up shows the quick evolution and maturity of the band after three years of playing together. The second track off of that album, Everybody Got Soul, is the band’s mantra. They have soul, and after you here it live, you too will have soul!! I have never been to San Bernardino, but the song by that title really shows that UL can slow it down and let the lyrics and rhythm shine through. Makes you want to get in the car and drive west. Probably the most radio friendly song, Ain’t It the Same brings out lyrics that we all have felt like saying for years.
In 2010, the band recorded a live show at the world renowned Saxon Pub, entitled appropriately Live From the Saxon Pub.
This album showcases the “Soul” that the band has and gives you an idea of how really entertaining they are live. Mike Carpenter gets to show off his vocal chords on Fire On The Rooftop, a live favorite. The album finishes you off with a 15 minute version of Liquor Store allowing Hal, Josh and Mike to show some mad skills that makes you keep coming back for more.
Recently the fellas headed up to the mountains of East Tennessee to hide out and write some new stuff. Be looking for the next album to come out soon, we are sure it will be a good one.
Another reason we love these guys at Authentic, is they are going all out. They have been hitting the road for the last year easily playing more than 150 shows, from New York to California and back to Texas again. Try and get out and show ‘em some love when they play in your town, tell them Authentic sent you. The only way a band can make it these days is if people show up to watch them play and buy some merchandise. | 2019-04-21T12:15:23 | http://authenticrecordsonline.com/2010/12/uncle-lucius/ |
Three months ago, former Bachelor Tim Robards married Anna Heinrich in the Aussie wedding of the year.
But the honeymoon is over, as Tim reveals to NW exclusively that he's packing up and heading to Hollywood to chase his dream of becoming the next Chris Hemsworth. LA, here he comes!
"It's something I've always wanted to do," Tim, 35, says of his big screen ambitions.
Of course, the newlyweds have already spent much of their marriage apart, with Tim moving from their home in Sydney to Melbourne to flex his acting muscle on Neighbours.
Tim Robards is ready for Hollywood!
So what's the goss with the new guy on Ramsay Street?
"He's a little bit Christian Grey, but a bit more Harvey Specter from Suits," Tim says of his character, wealthy investor Pierce Greyson.
Here, the hunky actor tells NW what Anna, 31, thinks about him cosying up to other women on set, and how he feels about leaving his beautiful wife behind to give it a crack in Hollywood!
So many Hollywood stars – like Hemsy and Margot Robbie – got their start on Aussie soaps. Are you planning to follow in their footsteps?
"I'd love to! I set measurable goals and that's where I'd like to take it. We'll see how we go. I'll just keep doing the work and see what happens."
Now that you've wrapped filming for Neighbours, do you have any more acting gigs lined up?
"I've got a potential short film I'm shooting over in the States in a couple of weeks, so just working on that. Because I'm fairly new to it, I'm just going to keep working on my training and the American accent.
I'm just getting as much on my show reel as I can, because I'm not getting any younger. You've got to fully commit to it and give it a proper crack."
Tim is about to shoot a short film in the states.
Will Anna go with you to the States?
"No. I'll just duck over and do it myself. If I'm busy filming all day, she'd be sitting around twiddling her fingers. She's got work here, so you just want to throw yourself into it and get as much experience as you can wherever you can."
What if your career took off over there? Would you leave her behind?
"Whatever we did, we'd make it work – whether you have to put in a bit of travel or whatever... I don't think she'd be opposed to it."
How is married life going? You've spent some time apart recently filming Neighbours, so it must be hard on you two.
"It's good! I'm lucky that Anna's so supportive and understanding. A lot of people have said, 'Did you just get that role because you've been on TV before?' But no, I've been doing the work, going to acting classes at night time and on weekends, and giving up a lot of time. She's just super happy and has seen that the hard work I've been putting in behind the scenes has paid off. I made sure I flew back every weekend to see her and spend some time with her, but then she was busy as well!"
Your character Pierce seems to like the ladies. Did Anna ban you from taking part in any kissing scenes?
"Oh, there is a bit of romance in the storyline, so you'll have to wait and see! Anna's like, 'Whatever you've got to do.' Originally, she would say, "Look, if it's in an audition, then maybe avoid the kissing. But if it's a proper role and you're being paid for it, then go for it." She's supportive."
"If you are doing a kissing scene, you're in character, and as soon as the director yells, 'Cut!' it's back to Tim, and it's a different thing."
So when you and Anna have babies, would you rather they be little lawyers like her, or actors like you?
"Two little kids that are loud and outspoken and argumentative? I don't know if I'd want that! [Laughs] I'd try and encourage them to be chiropractors and work in the health field. You don't want a big out-there person who always wants all the limelight! [Laughs]"

Since gaining independence in 1964, Malta has been transformed in the subsequent decades. It has an open market economy, and upon joining the EU in 2004 took the next steps towards securing the economic future of the country. Malta’s strong economic position ensured the adoption of the Euro in 2008 allowed the nation to be more competitive and to provide a safeguard against currency fluctuations.
Even the economic crisis did not impact Malta so much as many countries and Malta was one of the first to emerge from recession. Malta is pro-business and shows great flexibility in reacting to what is required internationally for the global market.
Malta has a strategic location at the heart of the Mediterranean. It boasts very close links to mainland Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. It is regarded as one of the best choices for investment in high end manufacturing and the IT sectors. It has first-rate port and airport infrastructure to make it a perfect centre for logistics or travel. Plus, of course, EU membership provides superb access to the whole Euro-Mediterranean region and beyond.
Malta boasts a highly educated workforce, very hardworking and dedicated. All levels of workers are to be found, from management, technical, the professions having a top rate staff so much easier. A utilitarian link between industry and education ensures that it is straightforward to hire the right staff and is one of the factors that makes Malta so competitive.
English is one of the two official languages in Malta, the other being Maltese. It makes Malta easy to negotiate for businesspeople without having to have interpreters at all times and possible confusion or poor communication. In practical terms, the closeness of Italy means most also speak Italian. Coupled with a sprinkling of other European languages this means that Malta is perfect for business and investment.
During the international economic crisis Malta emerged relatively unscathed because it took a common sense and conservative approach to doing business. This ensured that Malta’s financial reputation remained strong and the sector developed its standing internationally and is expected to continue its progression in the coming years.
Malta has become a world leader in this sector with fast fibre optic broadband available everywhere and an environment that encourages such businesses. This has contributed to the growth of financial services and information communication technology (ICT) and many companies now embrace Malta as the go-to place for excellence in this area.
Rents and wages remain highly competitive with most of the established EU companies and enable significant savings to be made. With lower costs than most jurisdictions, operations can be made extremely efficient when coupled with the hardworking and highly educated workforce.
Of course, even business is not all about money and here is where Malta scores heavily. You can combine an attractive lifestyle with knowing your business in is the best place. Malta has top class hospitals, schools, and universities combined with a sunny environment all year round. There are ample bars and restaurants and going out is enjoyable as the crime rate is very low. Beautiful fishing villages abound and you are never far from relaxing on the beach. Historical and cultural attractions are everywhere and that feeling of being in the Mediterranean yet also some where unique is truly only possible in Malta.
Why is Malta attractive to investors?
The Maltese authorities put great effort into attracting foreign investment and have enacted various legislation to ensure that it continues to be a high priority for companies to establish here.
The Business Promotion Act of 2001 was designed specifically to encourage companies in the areas of manufacture, repairs and maintenance that have great development and employment prospects.
Regarding taxation, the BPA offers reduced tax rates of 5% in the first seven years, 10% for the following six years and 15% for another five years and tax credits that range between 50% and 65% provided the conditions of the Act are fulfilled.
Malta Enterprise is one of the best agencies in the country at helping investors in choosing the right type of company and the correct steps to take.
Also, the government offers a very welcoming environment by permitting equal treatment to both foreign and Maltese companies. Another crucial feature for drawing foreign investment in Malta is the taxation system that provides generous exemptions, low tax rates and double taxation treaties with many countries.
Business legislation has also enabled special regimes for banks, investment services companies, offshore companies, and shipping companies. The Maltese government has also enabled legislation that allows for the creation of trusts.
What does the Company Act of Malta contain?
For historical reasons this is based on the Company Law of the United Kingdom. and mostly concerns civil matters rather than common law. It was initially called the Commercial Partnerships Ordinance and it was to be replaced in 1995 with the new legislation the Company Act in Malta. Companies had to restructure according to this and register with the Registry of Companies in Malta. Naturally, some regulations in the Company Act in Malta also follow the principles of the EU directives, as Malta is a member of the European Union, as for all member states. These rules can be found in the transcript of the Company Act 1995 in Malta. We can help all foreign investors who wish to come here to set up a company. We can go through the requirements of each type of structure and after that they can decide and select the type of business that fits best their needs. Limited companies are the most often choice. However there exists also public companies where shareholders are more than 50. This is mostly used for large companies.
We can also offer advice on the laws regarding work. Employment Law is related to the Companies Act in Malta. Many texts are concerned with the rules of the Labour Law. Some examples are: legislation regarding employment can be found in the Industrial Relations Act, the Conditions of Employment Act, the Social Security Act, and the Employment and Training Services Act. Relationships between employer and employee are all covered in the main acts concerning Labour Law.

How does VAT work in Malta?
We can advise on all aspects of VAT to ensure that you are fully compliant and utilising your VAT rates to your best advantage. The following is how it works here.
Value added tax (VAT) was established in Malta in 1995, and has undergone many changes since then. And when Malta became an EU member In 2004, the EU’s Council Directive harmonized value added tax. Value added tax is applied to any economic activity which its effective management and control is held in Malta. hence all forms of transactions are subject to value added tax.

How does double taxation work in Malta?
In order to overcome the problems of double taxation on income and provide low withholding taxes on dividends, incomes and royalties for the companies for foreign investors who do not have a residency in Malta, but whose business is located here and producing profits, Malta has signed double tax treaties with 67 countries and jurisdictions. Incomes can either be exempt from Maltese taxation or can be taxed here and receive a refund in the country of residence (to the limit of the sum that would have been taxed locally), according to the tax treaty signed. There are lower taxes for a treaty country than for a non-treaty one and while withholding tax on dividends, interests and royalties depends on many factors, however we can advise each client on his particular situation.
Here are how it applies in various cases of the regulations of the double tax treaties.
With a minimum of 25% of a Maltese company’s capital for a non-resident entity with the residing country Albania, China, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Luxembourg or the Netherlands, the withholding tax on dividends is 5%, and for the rest of the circumstances it is 15%. a Denmark resident with a company which has at least 25% of the capital held won’t pay any withholding tax on dividends and 15% in the rest of the cases. A resident of France, Poland, Sweden or Switzerland owning a Maltese Company with at least 10% of the capital will have an exemption on the dividends’ tax. Withholding taxes on interests and royalties will not exceed 15% and in many cases are not charged at all. Besides these provisions, the double tax treaties signed with Malta specifies what the conditions are for making an exchange of taxpayers’ lists.
The countries and jurisdictions which have signed double tax treaties with Malta are the following: Albania, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Barbados, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Jordan, Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America.
What is the legislation regarding foreign investment in Malta?
Since joining the EU, Malta has made strong efforts to ensure a steady flow of foreign investment. It enjoys an 'A' investment grade rating by Standard's and Poor's and "A3" by Moody's. There are various mechanisms available to enhance your company’s competitiveness. The following are the main points. The Business Promotion Act offers incentives for businesses that work in the areas of manufacturing and processes. The Companies Act of 1995 is the primary source of law regarding the incorporation of limited liability companies in Malta. The Companies Act enables regulations for limited liability companies with variable share capital and companies with share capital in foreign currencies. The Income Tax Act of 1948 and its amendments that set a unique taxation rate of 35% for Maltese limited liability companies. For some companies that export goods or services, a reduced rate of 5% applies. The Malta Enterprise Act was enacted in 2003 and provides rules and regulations for granting incentives to help the Malta Enterprise Corporation set guidelines for industrial incentives by considering the factors a company will be formed upon. The Malta Financial Services Authority Act of 1989 is in charge of the regulations regarding financial services in Malta, such as banking and investment services. The Investment Services Act of 1994 contains a set of rules regarding investment services and insurance.
Malta has completed double tax treaties with over 60 countries and companies have the option of operating with the Malta Freeport and the custom-free zone.

What are the implications of hiring staff in Malta?
Malta’s republican constitution of 1974 is the basis of working rights in Malta. It upholds the basic doctrines of workers’ rights, including inter alia the maximum number of daily working hours, a weekly rest day, holidays without pay, the establishment of a minimum working age, gender equality, professional and vocational training for workers, contributory social insurance and the provision of the means of subsistence for those unable to work.
The other main areas of note are the Employment and Industrial Relations Act (EIRA), the Employment Commission Act, the Employment and Training Services Act and EU Regulations and Directives which apply in virtue of the principle of direct effect. Then there is secondary legislation which includes Wage Regulation Orders which regulate certain conditions of employment for specific sectors. At present, there are 31 different WROs in force. The conditions specified in these Orders include, among other things, maximum hours of work, minimum wages, overtime rates, sick leave and special leave. There is also the Public Service Management Code which is designed for members of the civil service. They have their conditions of employment controlled by way of the Public Service Management Code or “PSMC” which was introduced in 2002. The PSMC brings together all the standing regulations, circulars, policies on HR Management, in the fields of Employee Relations and Resourcing in the Public Service. This code falls within the jurisdiction of the Management and Personnel Office (the former Establishments Division) within the Office of the Prime Minister.
The next important area are collective agreements which account for around a third of those employed in the private sector. These are specific agreements which regulate conditions of employment. Then there would be the other relevant areas of Judicial decisions, arbitration awards and custom and practice which works when the situation is not covered by law. Employment contracts are a vital part of the Maltese system and as long as these don’t contravene the basics set down by law, all other areas can be subject to specific contracts. If the time of employment is in excess of one month and the employee’s working hours are more than eight hours per week, the employer is bound to give the worker, within 8 working days from the commencement of hire, either (i) a written contract of employment, or (ii) a written statement of minimum conditions, which must be furnished to the employee.
Such information is expected to include such rudimentary things as the standard rates of pay, overtime rates, hours of work, place of work and leave entitlement. Wages should be paid at regular intervals not exceeding 4 weeks in arrears. Of course, different periods of pay can be agreed in a collective agreement. It should be noted that once a probation period has finished, normally six months but can be less by agreement, Maltese law is quite strict on dismissal and employers have to follow correct procedure in order to dismiss any staff member.

Both types of company must have a minimum of two shareholders, even if the Company Act also allows a single shareholder to establish a company in Malta. The company has to have a registered office in Malta.
You must reserve a company name with the Maltese Commercial Register, this must not cause confusion with another company, be offensive or already taken. You must draft the company’s memorandum and articles of association which our experts can assist you with.

Consequently, other than VAT on goods and services which we cover in our section on value added tax, the two main forms of taxation are income tax and company tax which we cover in our relevant sections.
This makes Malta a highly desirable place to do business and our experts can advise you for every step of the way to ensure you are fully compliant and your tax liabilities are efficiently minimised.
How much is company tax in Malta?
The corporate tax rate is 35%. The taxable income for companies which are both resident and domiciled in Malta includes worldwide income and certain capital gains. Companies which are either not resident in Malta or not domiciled here are subject to tax on any income and certain capital gains arising in Malta and on income arising outside Malta which is received in a Maltese bank account. Such companies are not subject to tax on any capital gains arising outside Malta. Taxable profits of each year are the profits reported in the company’s audited financial statements adjusted by adding non-deductible expenses and by deducting exempt income.
any fellowship, society or other association of persons, whether incorporated or unincorporated, and whether vested with legal personality or not. For partnerships not mentioned in (1), the tax is levied on the partners of the partnership and not on the partnership itself.
The full imputation system of taxation is operated here which means the tax paid by the company is available as a credit to the shareholders when any distributions are made to them. Company tax of 35% is available as a credit to the shareholders upon receiving dividends from the company. 6/7ths refunds for active income.
When dividends are paid by trading companies to the shareholders, these shareholders become entitled to claim refunds of 6/7ths of the Malta tax paid by the company. Taking into account such refunds, this results in an effective tax rate of 5%.
Shareholding may be held by individuals or through a Maltese parent. The definition of a company has been widened to include an oversea branch set up in Malta, companies which although not resident in Malta carry out activities in Malta and also companies which are neither incorporated nor resident in Malta provided that such companies are registered with the local tax authorities.
There is no levy of withholding tax on dividends paid to shareholders, which is a very attractive for international businesspeople. Royalties are not subject to such tax either. Pursuant to the “investment income provisions”, certain investment income such as interest paid by Maltese-licensed banks and other public entities may be subject to a withholding tax of 15%. Investment income payable to a collective investment scheme (CIS) investing at least 85% of its total investments in Malta-based securities is taxed with such a tax at the rate of 10% with regard to corporate or government bonds and 15% with regard to bank interest.
There are tax refunds on distributed profits which have been taxed in Malta (with the exception of profits derived from real estate or profits subject to a final withholding tax). In order to qualify for a refund, the profits must be distributed either to non-resident shareholders or to a Maltese holding company wholly owned by non-residents. The rates of the tax refund are: 6/7 of the Maltese tax paid on the distributed profits (total corporate tax burden is equal to only 5% in this case); 5/7 of the tax paid when the dividend is distributed from passive interest or royalties; 2/3 of the tax paid when the dividend distributed is derived from foreign sourced income that was relieved from double taxation. This tax refund system is favourable in Europe and is particularly beneficial for international business people who want to minimise their corporate tax liabilities in a central location close to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
What tax refunds are available in Malta?
There is a full imputation system available for tax relief of which we outline the main points below. We are at your disposal to explain more in depth this favourable tax regimes with you at any time and ensure that you achieve the maximum relief possible. We can go through possible scenarios based on your projected income and give you exact figures based on those projections.
There are various refunds permitted in our system.
This is based on the principle that 35% tax has been paid on profits so dividends are not subject to further tax. Relief can be claimed on the following basis. If it is dividends then the relief is 6/7ths. If it is passive interest and royalties then it is 5/7ths. If it is passive income subject to a double tax relief mechanism then it is 2/3rds. If it is dividends from participating holdings then it is 100%. Points to note are that in the case of passive interest and royalties are part of the overall structure of the company then they are also subject to 6/7ths relief. In the case of participating holdings this relief is rarely used as you have the possibility to exclude it from taxation by applying the participation exemption.
Companies which empower their shareholder to claim a tax refund are no longer constrained to carry out trading activities only with persons outside Malta.
Since January 2007 an amendment to the system has opened up the doors for Maltese companies to have multiple holding and trading activities, both in Malta and abroad, without influencing the possibility of claiming for a reimbursement. These amendments have kept the full imputation system for profits distributed from a Maltese Taxed Account and a Foreign Income Account.
The legislative changes have also introduced new types of refunds and abolished the need to have a special status in order to validate a claim for refund. The new system entitles both resident and non-resident shareholders of companies registered in Malta on or after 1st January 2007 to claim the above refunds. It should be noted that these refunds are guaranteed by Law and are paid promptly by the Tax Authority within 14 days from the date on which the refund is requested.

The IHC can make use of Malta's Double Taxation Treaties.
General Partnerships are created under the Companies Act of 1995 as a partnership which has a partnership name. There is a Deed of Partnership giving the address of the registered office, the names of the partners, its duration, the objects of the partnership, and the amount of capital contributed by each partner. The Deed is registered by the Registrar of Companies.
The partners are liable severally and jointly for the full debts of the partnership.
Limited partnerships in Malta have general partners, who are responsible for management, and have unlimited liability, and limited partners, who are liable only to the extent of their capital investments to the partnership.

We can assist in every stage of buying a property in Malta or Gozo. From putting you in touch with reliable real estate agents, through organising notaries and ensuring that all legal aspects are correct. There are many types of properties in Malta and Gozo, including houses and villas, townhouses, apartments, penthouses, maisonettes, farmhouses, etc.

The property may not be rented out, except for villas with a swimming pool, which might be possible to have for renting, through proper permits. A second property may only be purchased after residing in the country for a minimum continuous period of five years.

If all conditions of the preliminary sale agreement are complete and all duties fulfilled, all parties meet with a public notary to sign the final deed. It is the responsibility of this official to draft this final document and prepare it for signatures.
The final deed is signed at the bank if a mortgage is required by the buyer. The final contract is read out and if both parties agree to the terms and conditions the contract will be signed. Time to pay the balance (the purchase price less any deposits paid on account) to the seller. Both parties must now confirm that they have settled all expenses in relation to the purchase and property conditions.

Private international law and the Hague Convention is recognised in the applicable law. Combined with a highly regulated financial services system overseen by the Malta Financial Services Authority, they are an attractive option for non-residents from a tax perspective. The set-up and cost of running a trust in Malta is significantly lower than most other foreign jurisdictions.
The three main elements are a settlor, a trustee and a beneficiary.
A beneficiary is the person who gains from it or who benefits from any distribution of the property.
The three types are constructive, express and implied. The constructive derives from the operation of the law and is not conditioned by the settlor. The express is claimed openly by the settlor and the implied stems from the undeclared but supposed intention of the settlor.
You must set up a trust deed that specifies who the trustee is, who the beneficiary is and the trust fund or settlement which represents the property held by the trustee. It must also mention all persons affected by the trust. The main difference between a Maltese company and a trust is that the trust makes a legal distinction between the beneficial and the legal owner of the property.
What are the main benefits of setting up a Trust?
There are various good reasons to set up a trust and we will list the following as among the most important. First it is confidential and is not required to be registered with a public authority. Second is asset protection. Your assets settled in trust do not form part of your estate but you can still enjoy the benefits of them. Also they are protected against any future creditors or lawsuit liabilities. Third, family members are protected as the trust can be used to hold property for those too young or otherwise incapable of managing it themselves. A trust can provide an impartial administration of your estate if you opt for an outside agency to be the trustee. Fourth, estate planning, you can decide how and when family members inherit your assets and thus you avoid any costly complications arising from death. Fifth, succession tax planning: any permanent property which is settled in trust, does not form part of your Estate any longer and will therefore not be subject to any succession tax upon your death. The property may be held in Trust primarily for yourself (the Settlor) throughout your lifetime and thereafter for your children and grandchildren. Also, on the death of your children, no succession tax is charged when the same property passes on to their heirs – that is, in effect, your grandchildren. A Trust in Malta has great flexibility. It may last for a maximum of one hundred years, as such it is highly versatile and can be organized to meet your specific needs.
Can I move a trust from my home country?
Redomiciliation is possible for trusts and foreign trustees can migrate to Malta from an approved jurisdiction and it is not necessary to liquidate the trust in the country it was made. Trusts are subject to a corporate tax rate of 35% but double tax treaties can influence the tax rates depending on the country involved.
We are available to advise on a range of services regarding trusts and upon contact can set up and administer a trust to your complete satisfaction.
How do I set up a foundation in Malta?
Irrespective of whether a person is a foreigner or Maltese national, they have the right to establish a Maltese foundation. They must comply with the approved regulations in order to do so. Our dedicated team of specialists can guide you through the process to make it as straightforward as possible but the following are the main points you need to bear in mind.
Foundations may embark on any legal enterprise which is not profit-making in nature. They can however, have commercial property such as shares, intellectual property, real estate or vessels as long as they take no active role in their process. Active trading is not permitted and if that is the case then a private limited company is likely to be the best option.
Foundations can be either private or purpose. Private foundations are set up for the advantage of a beneficiary or a group of beneficiaries and do not need to be benevolent in nature. There are a number of tax benefits to having a private foundation and as such, they are the most attractive option. Purpose foundations are usually philanthropic and can subsequently be registered as charities and receive tax exempt status provided this is agreed by the local tax authorities. We can advise you in greater detail of the various tax benefits but also see our section on taxation of a foundation.
A foundation can be set up via a public deed or a last will which must be published in Malta. This is similar to the articles of association and memorandum of understanding of setting up a private company. It must have a name in conformity with the law and pay in a minimum initial capital or asset of one hundred and sixty-four euro and sixty-nine cents (EUR 1,164.69). It also must have an address in Malta where communications can be received and where information can be requested about its activities. If the administrators are outside Malta then a local administrator must be appointed. If the means to establish a foundation is a public deed then it would have to be published by a public notary and then registered in the Public Registry.
In order to set up the foundation, the founders must make the above mentioned endowment unless it is for a social purpose or as a non-profit making entity in which case the amount is a minimum of two hundred and thirty-two euro and ninety-four cents (EUR 232.94). If the property is not cash or any other quantifiable assets then the founders have to make a statement that the property is indeed of such value as required by law. These assets may be then used by the foundation or in fact they do not need to be maintained by the foundation as a minimum asset. We have a section on setting up trusts in Malta which you can access here. (insert link) It also explains the difference between trusts and foundations. Our dedicated specialists are on hand to guide you through the process of setting up a foundation whichever option you choose.
How to register an aircraft in Malta?
Our professional team of experts can provide assistance with a number of services in connection with the aviation industry including the incorporation of the appropriate corporate structures, registration of aircraft and aircraft mortgages, co-ordination of aircraft financing transactions, tax structuring and administration and acting as the resident agent in Malta on behalf of aircraft owners and operators.
a buyer of an aircraft under a conditional sale or title reservation agreement or similar agreement, and who is thereby authorised to operate the vessel.
The Aircraft Registration Act of 2010 came into power on 1st October 2010 and its main goal is to regulate the registration of aircraft, the registration and enforcement of aircraft mortgages and the implementation of the Cape Town Convention and the Aircraft Protocol and its interface with Maltese law.
The Act introduced new concepts such as the recognition of fractional ownership of aircraft in the sense that aircraft shares and interests may be identified on registration and verified in the National Aircraft Register accordingly.
Registration can take place either by the owner itself or by the operator of the aircraft such as the lessee or by a buyer under a title reservation agreement authorised to operate the aircraft or a conditional sale, or by a trustee for the benefit of beneficiaries.
Also unlike many other jurisdictions, it is now possible to register aircraft under construction as soon as the aircraft is "uniquely identifiable" and the requirements relating airworthiness surveys are suspended until the finishing point of the airplane.
How to register a yacht in Malta?
Malta is one of the most popular EU countries for yacht registration due to important factors such as low company formation costs, low registration and annual fees, no restrictions on the nationality of the owner, no age limit for the registration of a yacht, reduced VAT rates depending on the size and type of the yacht and everything is controlled by EU norms, laws and regulations. Coupled with lifestyle factors such as the low crime rate, it is the best country in Europe to register your yacht. There are many yachting groups, boating suppliers and tradesmen on hand to ensure it is the best place to moor your vessel. There are also harbours all over the islands so there are always places to go. Our experts are on hand to handle everything for you and ensure your yacht is correctly registered and you have peace of mind.
Registration under the Malta flag takes place in two stages. The first step is provisional registration, whereby a provisional certificate of registration which is valid for six months (extendable for a further period or periods not exceeding in aggregate six months) is issued by the Registrar of Ships. For such provisional registration, certain documents must be filed with the Merchant Shipping Directorate within Transport Malta (TM).
iv. A declaration of ownership made before the Registrar by the owner or authorised representative upon delivery of the yacht to the new owner.
Upon provisional registration, registration fees and the first year's annual tonnage tax must be settled with TM.
vi. Return of the original provisional certificate.
When all of the above is submitted and proof of ownership is established, a Certificate of Registry is issued by the Registrar of Ships valid up till the first anniversary year of the yacht. A Certificate of Registry is subject to renewal on the anniversary of the registration of the vessel.
Does an EU citizen need a work permit in Malta?
Employment licenses (formerly known as work permits) are issued by the Directorate of Citizenship and Expatriates Affairs (DCEA). These are required in order to work in Malta legally and must be applied for by the job-seeker, not the employer. Employment licenses are necessary for any non-EU foreigner who wants to work in Malta. Those found working without a license face heavy fines if they are employers and deportation if they are employees.
All EU citizens except for Croatia or member states of the European Economic Area (EEA) plus citizens of Switzerland do not require employment licenses to work in Malta, but they are recommended to contact the EURES advisors through their portal in order to see what requirements they must meet before entering the country to work. EU nationals and nationals of countries including Croatia, Switzerland, Norway and the US, do not require a visa for any stay of up to three months in Malta.
Non EU citizens must fulfil certain criteria before they can work in Malta. Malta offers the Single-Work Permit for third country nationals to reside and take up employment. This permit, which can be requested when the applicant is still abroad or upon arrival in Malta, continues to apply only while the applicant remains in employemnt here. The application for this permit has to be accompanied by a number of supporting documents which the applicant must provide for their application to be accepted by Jobsplus. This process may pose difficulties since it also requires proof of job candidate searches by the prospective employer. Regulations stipulate that this should includ the placement of two adverts designed to attract Maltese/EEA/Swiss candidates to fill this post before an application by a non-EU worker can be considered. Individuals originating from other countries that require a visa prior to travelling to Malta may need to add up to 15 days to the waiting time for documents to be issued. Additionally, citizens fo countries not forming part of the Schengen would require a Schengen visa to enter one of the countries within the area. We can advise on all aspects of working here and advise you on a solution that suits your needs.
How do I get a residence permit in Malta?
There are three types of permits in Malta, ordinary, permanent and temporary residence.
Ordinary residence in Malta necessitates individuals to physically live on the island for a period of six months or more. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens can apply as being economically self-sufficient by proving that they are financially stable or on the basis of employment if an individual works in Malta as an employee or is self-employed. EU/EEA/Swiss nationals and Non-EU nationals may accompany the main applicant provided that they prove that they are financially dependent on the latter. A student may also apply on the basis of education if they are studying in Malta. If the student is under-age, his/her legal guardian can apply for a residence permit to accompany him/her upon confirming that he/she has stable and regular income.
EU/EEA/Swiss nationals and their family members may apply for permanent residence after completing a continuous five-year period of legally living in Malta. Applicants must not have absented themselves from Malta for more than six months a year. Non-EU nationals may apply for a residence permit if they are going to be working in Malta or upon opening a business in Malta once certain criteria are satisfied. We can advise you on all aspects of this.
Non-EU nationals may apply for long-term residence if they have been legally living in Malta for five unbroken years. Applicants must not have absented themselves from Malta for more than six consecutive months in any given year of this five-year period and further must not have been away for more than a total of ten months throughout this five-year period.
Non-EU nationals may apply for a residence permit if they are going to be studying in Malta. If the student is underage, his/her legal guardian can apply for the permission to accompany him/her upon confirming that he/she has stable and regular income. Foreign partners of EU nationals may apply for residence in Malta provided that they confirm that they have a regular and stable income and that the relationship has existed for at least two years. Non-EU nationals who reside legally in Malta may apply for the reunification of their family members, namely the spouse being 21 years of age or over and minor unmarried children under the age of 18.
A temporary residence permit may be granted to Non-EU citizens to reside in Malta for more than three months on a case by case basis. For more detailed information on work permits and visas, kindly contact our specialist advisers. | 2019-04-20T03:10:47 | https://psaid.eu/your-questions/ |

May 2012 – Andrew James Taggart, Practical Philosopher, Ph.D.
As social animals, we have needs and desires. Part of growing up involves learning how to fulfill more of our needs and desires without the aid of others. The other part involves learning that some of our needs can only be fulfilled by others. Here is where social life gets interesting and quite often fraught.
We have needs that we ourselves cannot meet. “By ‘needs,’” the philosopher Charles Larmore writes, “I shall mean desires that are ours not in virtue of our having adopted them, but rather in virtue of our being the sort of beings we all are.” On this definition, needs are ‘given’ to us, they cannot be removed so long as we are alive, and we cannot go on and still be ‘our selves’ so long as we deny them.
Because we have needs that we cannot meet, we make requests of others. Who are these others? Before making a request or after making one that goes unfulfilled, we may ask ourselves a number of questions.
1. What is the nature of the request? That is, what do I really need (from this person)?
2. What kind of person am I asking to fulfill my request? Is it possible for her to so fulfill it?
3. Will he ‘get’ it or ‘get’ me?
4. Is this person the right kind of person (for this particular request), or am I asking the wrong person in this case or more generally?
5. If the request is understood, will it be fulfilled properly?
6. Will the other fulfill the request but only by larding it up with eye rolling or further conditions or heavy breathing?
In the space of the request, we may feel quite alone or especially exposed and ‘needy’ or not entirely independent. We may wonder about the people we have around us and we may examine how we got to the point where this is the person in our lives, the one we are going to in order to have our needs met.
This scene belies a story about our lives. Tomorrow, I want to suggest that many of the questions raised above are simply ‘too far in.’ They are ‘too far in’ in the sense that they tell us more about what has gone awry with this way of life and with our intimate sense of knowing. I want to argue that once we are more fully in a good way of life, then asking good others for help comes more naturally.
If I could not touch, could I be touched?
This morning I lay in bed, looking at my hand. I extend the web, I turn it over, I hold it up to the sky. It is tanned and fleshy and the freshly laundered sheets are very white again.
I grind coffee beans with my hand mill. I put the spoon into the bowl, then into the front of my mouth, pulling it away as the food settles on my tongue. I steady the coffee mug with two hands, bringing it up to my mouth. I pick up and move out of the sun a bucket smelling of sea water. I roll the pencil between my fingers, look at it intently, press my thumb and forefinger into the yellow flesh, and watch the pencil make delicate and not so delicate marks on the page.
What would it be like not to have a hand? Not to have two? Without a hand, I could not pull the Zen bow tautly back into its home. I could not squeeze my bicycle brakes before a car crushes me with my knee caps. I could not take simple joy in smoothing loose strands of hair out of my face, putting them back behind my ears. I could not touch a woman’s arm, her shoulder blades, the side of her cheek just so. I could not touch. And if I could not touch, could I be touched?
Could I live without a hand?
I am looking at your photos. You have such a good eye for these quiet moments that open in the midst of all else. I think what all your photos share–not just these but all those you’ve shown me–is a sense of wonderment and a meditative eye for what is just now coming into being.
Maybe, let’s say, it’s the stillness at the heart of transience. I see the man’s hands, tied to boat, tied to rope, moving yet still. I see the evening light shining through the aperture. The hands and light are all so fleeting yet all very beautiful in virtue of their fleetingness.
The good camera does not belie the coming into being of this moment by ‘freezing’ and ‘petrifying’ it; the good camera holds it softly up to us even as it intimates, as though in a meditation on death, the moment’s passing away in one moment hence. The good camera holds up and reveals and lets go like a band of gypsies. The good camera is a still right hand crimping supple rope.
I am thinking in mid-sentence, as you know I always do. I think, just now, that perhaps what these photos are revealing is a kind of meditation: a meditation on the beautiful moment, on being ready for a loving opening, on reawakening to life and love and… and, yes, to the love of life. The changes you describe in your life are perhaps not so much ‘internal’ or ‘external’ as changes in your perception of the world–that is, not ‘internal’ or ‘external’ but a way of being in the world in which the new rises up, unencumbered by the stale, the taken for granted, the familiar, the habitual… The new discloses itself not in opposition to the everyday, not as a mere cosmetic, but from out of the everyday like a once-lying rope converging in a figure-8. I see you meditating daily, here where aesthetic perception meets patience and courage. Grace follows of course as love flows of course. | 2019-04-23T12:25:44 | https://andrewjtaggart.com/2012/05/ |
Is there a link between your S.O. status and your dementia risk?
There are reportedly around 47 million cases of dementia worldwide—and according to new research, your relationship status could play a role in your risk of being diagnosed with the degenerative disease later in life.
For the study, published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, researchers found that people who spend their lives single had a 42 percent increased risk of developing dementia compared to those who were married. But saying “I do” isn’t an instant protector; rather, the distinction is likely related to how you live.
Obviously not everyone wants to put a ring on it, and staying single doesn’t mean you’re going to wind up with dementia. As long as you take care of yourself and spend plenty of time socializing, you’re setting yourself up for life of mentally healthy longevity.
Here’s how to be ridiculously happy when you’re single. And if you do want to find love, this is the best city to look for it. | 2019-04-22T12:30:00 | https://www.wellandgood.com/good-advice/marriage-decreases-dementia-risk/ |

Very interesting! Speaking of the English: I know I’ve heard that the post-Vatican II vernacular translation into English was rushed and not very well executed. I read a book or two detailing the changes and why they were made, and I think they are all pretty solid and positive changes. Traditionalists still complain about the “Novus Ordo” Mass. I myself have no complaints, if it’s well and piously done; in fact, I prefer it, in essence, to the Tridentine. But I do hope the Church can continue to “reform the reform” in a way that can be pleasing to the faithful and more greatly glorify the Lord.
I too have heard the vernacular translation was rushed. I wonder why? If the liturgy is so important, why rush something like that? I am curious as to what people at that time were thinking, what was driving them to get the new liturgy in place so quickly, even at the probable expense of excellence. | 2019-04-23T16:08:13 | https://satellitesaint.com/2014/07/28/et-avec-votre-esprit-catching-up-with-the-french-plan-de-la-messe/ |
Every table should focus on describing just one thing. Ex. Customer Table would have name, age, location, contact information. It shouldn’t contain lists of anything such as interests, job history, past address, products purchased, etc.
Don’t have multiple columns with the same sort of information. Ex. If you wanted to include a employment history you should create job1, job2, job3 columns. Make a new table with that data instead.
By making your tables atomic, you are close to making them normalized. Normalized just means that the database is organized in a way that is considered standardized by professional SQL programmers. So if someone new needs to work with the tables they’ll be able to understand how to easily.
Each row must have a Primary Key defined. Like your social security number identifies you, the Primary Key will identify your row.
You also want to eliminate using the same values repeatedly in your columns. Ex. You wouldn’t want a column named instructors, in which you hand typed in their names each time. You instead, should create an instructor table and link to it’s key.
What the Heck are Keys Already?
Example: If we have a customer and city table. If the city table had a column which listed the unique primary key of all the customers, that Primary Key listing in the city table would be considered a Foreign Key.
The Foreign Key can have a different name from the Primary Key name.
The value of a Foreign Key can have the value of NULL.
When you define a Foreign Key you start with the name of the Foreign Key, then define all the attributes. Follow that with the FOREIGN KEY statement with the name of the Foreign Key in braces. Finally, after the REFERENCES statement, list the name of the table the Primary Key is located in and the Primary Keys name in that table.
You just saw how you link tables using foreign keys. Now we’ll look at the different ways tables can interact.
In this One-to-One relationship there can only be one social security number per person. Hence, each social security number can be associated with one person. As well, one person in the other table only matches up with one social security number.
One-to-One relationships can be identified also in that the foreign keys never duplicate across all rows.
If you are confused by the One-to-One relationship it is understandable, because they are not often used. Most of the time if a value never repeats it should remain in the parent table being customer in this case. Just understand that in a One-to-One relationship, exactly one row in a parent table is related to exactly one row of a child table.
When we are talking about One-to-Many relationships think about the table diagram here. If you had a list of customers chances are some of them would live in the same state. Hence, in the state column in the parent table, it would be common to see a duplication of states. In this example, each customer can only live in one state so their would only be one id used for each customer.
Just remember that, a One-to-Many relationship is one in which a record in the parent table can have many matching records in the child table, but a record in the child can only match one record in the parent. A customer can choose to live in any state, but they can only live in one at a time.
If a customer buys more than one product, you will have multiple product id’s associated with each customer.
As well, you would have multiple customer id’s associated with each product.
You could create a table that just holds the foreign keys for both the products and the customers. This is called a Junction table. Then the Junction table loses normalization, but the other tables don’t.
If you want to query two tables you must first merge their data with a JOIN Statement.
You create a Full Join when multiple tables are listed. By joining two tables this way, each row from both tables is combined. Here is an example of how you could create a Full Join.
When you perform a Full Join, you may be overwhelmed with data, so do so carefully. If you combined this Join with a where clause, you could decrease the number of results returned.
An Equi-join is one in which the WHERE clause limits the results to just cases in which two columns are equal. The Non-Equi-join, performs the opposite with a not equal sign < > inside of a WHERE clause.
This would return a table with all the columns in the customers table listed and all the columns in the products table being listed that have a matching column name with customers. You can also perform the opposite actions with a Right Join.
This would return a list of all Presidents and First Wives, that have a matching id number. This is referred to as an Equijoin, because it checks for equality of values as well.
There are other Inner Joins that check for inequality and the other performs tests on tables that have columns with the same name. To make a Non-Equijoin, just replace the equals sign in the comparison above with the not equals sign < >.
This would return a list of all the US Presidents and First Wive’s in order.
If you want all of the values to be displayed including any duplicates, you can use the UNION ALL Statement.
Now you are a SQL Expert! I’ve described in these 3 tutorials pretty much everything you need to know to use SQL like a pro. Leave any questions you have below and in the next article I’ll wrap up my whole web design tutorial by showing you how to use PHP!
I’m confused. Why would it be necessary to create a whole new table to just list states? I don’t get why it’s bad for the same values to be used in different rows.
I wouldn’t say it is bad to do that, but instead that if you want your database to be atomic you should follow those rules.
1. Don’t have multiple columns with the same sort of information. Ex. If you wanted to include a employment history you should create job1, job2, job3 columns. Make a new table with that data instead. | 2019-04-20T22:46:01 | http://www.newthinktank.com/2010/04/mysql-statements-in-sql-part-3/ |
Here we go again. A frenzy of talking and planning. There isn’t even anything firmed up yet. I suppose they are excited. The anticipation is sometimes overwhelming. The excitement builds as they talk…. even though there really isn’t anything there yet. Haha! Such is the dinner table talk tonight.
What do I refer to? The new church building! We were bursting at the seams. To accommodate the numbers, there are now extra services on Sunday, with the same music team and the same preacher. The breakout rooms are fully utilized, with none to spare. On some weekends, there are meetings from early morn till late. Some weekdays see people gathering for all sorts of meetings. It can be quite a task to juggle the booking of rooms, equipment and limited resources available.
Now the talk now has gone to the fittings and furnishings. Top on the list, apart from the sound and lights system, are the church pews chairs. They have to be comfy ones, but can’t be too comfy lest one falls asleep – now that will not do! I am glad we are all agreed on this. But wait, now they are deliberating on the colour! So many to choose from!
I think I shall take my leave at this point and let them carry on. As I said, nothing is confirmed, so it is almost like building castles in the air….

From the vaults this week, our Anton Chekov mission from February 2004 is online for the first time ever. In it Agent Wimpy poses as Anton Chekov in a Barnes and Noble exactly 100 years after the famous Russian playwright died. (We got kicked out after about 15 minutes.) Later, we sold signed copies of The Cherry Orchard in the park.
“Hey Veronica, How ya doin'” This video really brought the mission alive for me, so funny!

This incredible dog breed defines and summarizes a combination of passions but it is mainly the vivid image if its creator: Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez. In the capital city of Cordoba, Argentina, a man is born on November 18th 1908. He was going to be one of the most prestigious surgeons South America, but his name was known and famous because of his big work: “El Dogo Argentino”. Being a big lover of hunting and dog-breeding, a restless traditionalist and, above all, a great scientist he lived his youth with a great inquisitiveness: being able to summarize and concentrate a combination of virtues from incredible and different dogs into one special dog breed.
That is why his work has that scientific quality which would deserve numerous publications from great scientists and geneticists of the time, where it could not be understood how, in such a short time, a young dog breed could have such a genetic stability. Much of his work was left written but a big part went with him when he died in the prime of life, even though he died as he desired: hunting in the hills. | 2019-04-24T20:14:25 | http://dogolacocha.com/index-2.php?lang=de |

If you’re exploring the possibility of purchasing an existing franchise location, you’ve probably studied the market area and considered the potential sales volume you could achieve. You’ve probably also looked at the operation itself and determined what you’d need to invest to bring it up to your standards. But before you sign a purchase agreement, you need to do some additional research. Here are some key areas to consider.
1. Determine why the owner is selling. There are many legitimate reasons for selling, such as retirement or succession planning, but sometimes there are other hidden factors. Make sure the seller doesn’t have any skeletons in the closet that could hurt your business down the road. Talk with people in the community, contact the local Better Business Bureau, and conduct Internet searches. All these resources could reveal evidence of trouble.
2. Analyze the performance of both the seller and the concept. Look at sales numbers, not just for the past few months, but over a period of years. Verify that what the seller is representing to you is accurate. You’re looking for consistent performance and no signs of downturns for both the location as well as the concept. If you see seasonal variations, perform additional research to determine whether that’s normal for this market, or if there’s an unseen cause you need to learn about.
3. Review employee relationships. Employee turnover is one of the biggest challenges facing any franchise operator. Look at the current owner’s employees to see how loyal they have been. Compare turnover rates to average data for the franchisor and the market. If turnover is significantly higher than normal, that could be a warning sign that the seller hasn’t been a good employer — a reputation that may be difficult to overcome. Higher-than-normal turnover may also be a sign of unusually low unemployment in the market, which means you’ll have to work harder and pay more to fill vacancies. Low turnover is a sign of happy employees.
4. Talk with employees. Casual conversations with employees and managers can reveal a lot about the work environment and their likelihood to stick around after a sale. You don’t need to identify yourself as a potential buyer. Instead, you can tell them that you have a nephew or know a neighbor who is looking for a job, and ask them whether they’d recommend that individual apply. Listen to their tone of voice. If you hear enthusiasm, that’s a great sign, while sarcasm and disgust are warnings of potential problems.
Acquisition funding – If you need a loan to fund an acquisition, financing is available from different sources. The obvious place to turn for a commercial loan is a bank, but the vast majority of banks don’t always understand how to value a franchise location’s true worth. Instead, consider working with specialty lenders who are accustomed to working with franchise owners. They understand how a business like yours operates, so they can approach the underwriting with realistic expectations and an appreciation for inherent risks. | 2019-04-22T22:36:39 | https://www.oakstreetfunding.com/5-due-diligence-keys-buying-franchise-location/ |

ATM Cylinder Technics strives to provide all customers with a high-quality, durable and technologically advanced product within an unprecedented fast delivery time.
I have a passion for motor sport.
I have always been active in motocross, road racing and supermoto.
In 1992 I got the chance to start at ATM Cylinder Technics and I accepted that opportunity with both hands. I have seen the company grow and I still enjoy working here.
My name is Hans Vogels, I have been working at ATM Cylinder technics for more than a year.
In the past I have been employed by ATM Cylinder Technics for 5 years.
But because of the chance to start motor racing for a couple of years at a higher level.
By passion for motorsport and technology I have been able to start back at ATM.
Where we gladly provide the customers with a nice repaired cylinder.
In 2013 I started my internship at ATM Cylinder technics with enthusiasm. After obtaining my diploma, I chose to complete my further training at another cross-related company.
2016 was the year I returned to ATM Cylinder Technics!
I chose to follow a course that best suited the company, for me that was Allround operator-C.
For me, ATM Cylinder Technics is a versatility, and very nice company to work for. | 2019-04-21T20:31:22 | https://www.atmcylindertechnics.nl/about-us |
Today we want to show you interesting concept of wrist watches. It was created by designer Henrik Amberla and named The Milky Way. From the words of author “the shape reflects on the duality and unity of the sleep/wake cycle as well as illustrates a turning motion that triggers the snooze function. Another turning motion is applied to setting the time and the alarm.” A few more intersting concepts fo wristwatches you could find in our collection New Ways to Show the Time. | 2019-04-24T04:29:12 | http://inspirations.cgrecord.net/2012/06/milky-way.html |
Is this just with the new version I posted or has this problem been there all along? I'm seeing the same thing.
Add ficlose SFileName to the instrument that saves the files. That seems to fix the problem.
Btw, I sorted the automated Windows build. The most up to date binaries can be found here. Just click anyone in green to go to artifacts. That should give you the full installer. I've fixed those issues you were seeing yesterday if you want to try out the latest build.
EDIT : Cabbage crashes on startup..
Ha. That's not a great start! I'l have a look.
it's working fine for me. Can you try opening it again. Sometime if you try to run straight after the install it doesn't seem to work.
Just uncrompress everything and load the .csd file.
If you save a preset in the "presets" folder in will appears in the listbox after the next plugin startup.
you can reload the lastest preset using the "reload" button.
For some reason, the preset name doesn't displays properly when you use the open button (maybe because open load the path with "/" and the listbox load path with "\"
EDIT : Nope.. Still crashing.. I don't understand why..
Hmm. I can think why this is. I'll take a look.
Here is the project file, let me know if you found a way to do it !
Sorry, I didn't implement in the listbox, only the combobox. I'll do that now. Leave it with me. I'm currently moving through airports. Might be a day or two before I find time for it..
Where comboI is the identchannel for the listbox or combobox.
Also, related to these listbox, is there a way to remove the "Select..." entry (the first entry of the listbox, as well as a way to change the white backgroyund where there are not enough items in the listbox ?
Wow Nice redesign ! And nice feature to reopen latest projects on startup !
Are there any other things I should have noticed/tested ?
And nice feature to reopen latest projects on startup !
Ouch. I'll sort that out now.
Yeah sorry, I haven't noticed it before !
Alright, I'll stay tuned ! | 2019-04-21T05:01:47 | http://forum.cabbageaudio.com/t/easier-way-to-share-presets/1223?page=2 |
We’ve all been there before. You know; when the winter doldrums take hold and all you want to do is get away. Once the warm weather of spring arrives, beat back the cold-weather blues on a sandy beach in the Brazosport Area. Located just 65 miles south of Houston, the area is home to five towns (Clute, Freeport, Lake Jackson, Quintana, and Surfside Beach) and three tranquil beaches with soft sand and some of the best fishing and surfing in the state. Not only that, the Brazosport Area is at the heart of a major bird migration route, making it a hotspot for birding enthusiasts.
Along with all of this, there are museums to explore, restaurants to enjoy, and charming hotels and beach houses to stay at. Discover some of the great things you can do in the Brazosport Area this spring below.
Savor the soothing warmth of the spring sunshine, inhale the salty aromas of the sea, and relax as you listen to waves crashing on the quiet shore. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend vacation or to enjoy the springtime charm of the Texas Gulf Coast, look no further than Surfside Beach, Quintana Beach, and Bryan Beach. With long stretches of soft sand, these beaches are the perfect place to work on your sun tan and dip your toes in the water. Make sure to catch some waves at Surfside Beach, where you’ll discover some of the best surfing in Texas thanks to its consistent waves and deep waters.
Spring is peak birding season in the Brazosport Area, where you’ll find two sprawling wildlife refuges (Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge and San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge) that provide a habitat for more than 300 species of birds. Whether you’re hooked on the thrill you get from spotting a bird you’ve never seen before or you simply enjoy the outdoors, exploring these refuges is a must. Keep a keen eye out for migrating songbirds, falcons, and hawks as you hike on tranquil trails through thickets of live oaks and past bayous and marshes. Make sure to bring your binoculars so you can get the best possible look at these amazing avians.
If your ideal afternoon involves casting a fishing line and waiting until something hooks, the Brazosport Area is for you. With its rivers, beaches, and seaside piers, this part of the Texas Gulf Coast offers the best of both fresh and salt water fishing. Try your luck at snagging bass and catfish from the bank of the Brazos River at Freeport Municipal Park. At the Surfside Jetty and Quintana Beach County Park Fishing Pier, you can bag bull redfish, sand trout, whiting, and more. For the ultimate Gulf Coast fishing experience, book a half- or full-day chartered deep sea fishing excursion. Play your cards right and you may just catch a red snapper, mahi mahi, king mackerel, or shark worthy of the tallest of fishing tales.
Whether you’re visiting Clute, Freeport, or Surfside Beach, you won’t want to miss out on any of the Brazosport Area’s spring festivals. Start with the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Surfside Beach (March 17), one of the longest lasting traditions in town. Don your finest green apparel and enjoy the festive parade on the beach, costume contests, and a reenactment of the Battle of Fort Velasco. To experience birding in the Brazosport Area, head to Quintana for Spring Fling (throughout April) or the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge for the annual Migration Celebration (April 21 – 22). Both events give you the chance to learn about the many birds that migrate here in the spring, an essential thing to do this time of year.
Also at the end of April is the Freeport RiverFest (April 26 – 28), one of the biggest events in the area that includes a three-on-three basketball tournament, barbecue cook-off, and 1K and 5K fun runs. Along with these special events, RiverFest features a carnival, craft vendors, a beer garden, and all sorts of live music. No matter what kind of fun you’re looking for, you’ll uncover it at one of these events this spring.
Assuming you’ve fished in the coastal waters of the Brazosport Area, you’re probably aware of the abundance of marine animals that call this part of Texas home. Get a close-up look at these critters at Sea Center Texas, where you’ll find large aquariums created to emulate certain Gulf Coast habitats. Touch blue crabs, snails, and anemones in the 20-foot touch pool; watch hardhead catfish and black drum swim in the Coastal Bay Aquarium; and say “howdy” to Gordon the 300-pound grouper in the 50,000-gallon Offshore Gulf of Mexico Aquarium.
Tour the aquariums, then step out onto the Wetlands Boardwalk, a 600-foot-long elevated pathway that crosses over a three-acre freshwater marsh and a two-acre saltwater march, giving you the chance to see green tree frogs and an array of birds. In addition to its aquariums, Sea Center Texas has a marine fish hatchery that produces red drum, spotted seatrout, and southern flounder that are used to replenish populations in the bays along the Texas coast. Get behind the scenes of the hatchery and learn about its operations on a special tour offered Tuesday through Saturday that you have to book in advance.
With its peaceful beaches, abundance of ways to enjoy the outdoors, and fun events, the Brazosport Area is a great place to get away this spring. Learn more about Clute, Freeport, Lake Jackson, Quintana, and Surfside Beach here. | 2019-04-22T15:04:50 | http://dev.tourtexas.com/article/72/5-awesome-things-to-do-in-the-brazosport-area-this-spring |
Arie and Maartje De Jong boarded a ship bound for New York with 10 kids and $25 in 1949. They were in pursuit of an American dairy dream.
Arie was a Holland dairy farmer, but the writing was on the wall in his country. He had seven sons who wanted to work on the family farm, but there were limited growth opportunities and land was expensive. A couple of the boys urged their father to move to America where Arie had a twin sister running a California dairy farm.
Arie, though, was hesitant about making such a leap, so he headed to America to see what sort of impression he would get about relocating.
Within months, the family began its 11-day ocean journey to Ellis Island. Once in New York, they boarded a plane for California and were milking cows the morning after landing.
Arie had a business plan that called for a collaborative effort among his built-in workforce.
“He said to the seven boys ‘you have to promise me you’ll stick together until we save enough money to buy our own farm. Then you can do what you like,’ ” Ellie said.
The family adopted a thrifty lifestyle, living in three tiny homes and spending money only on life’s necessities. The boys never had a day off while working at their aunt’s farm and others in the area, but they never complained, Ellie said. After one year they had saved $10,000.
One day, Arie was driving down a freeway when he saw a herd of cows in a field and a “for sale” sign. He could not read or speak English so he had someone translate the sign’s meaning. When he realized he could purchase the farm, he made an offer to buy his first U.S. dairy.
It was just the beginning of the family’s dairy story in America. Arie purchased other farms and creameries in western states over the next several years, and his children also pursued their own opportunities.
Arie passed away in 1989 at the age of 88 with his legacy firmly entrenched in the U.S. dairy industry. At the time of his passing, he had 54 grandchildren, including many who ran dairy farms. One grandson who shares his name – Idaho dairy farmer Arie Roeloffs – figures descendants and relatives of his grandfather today milk about 250,000 dairy cows on various family farms across the country.
It’s a staggering impact and one that isn’t lost on Ellie, who sold her dairy farm to a family member about 15 years ago before retiring with her husband in California.
“My dad always praised his family for what he became,” Ellie said. “He said ‘I didn’t do it.’ But he was the captain. | 2019-04-23T23:56:54 | https://dairygood.org/content/2014/holland-immigrants-legacy-impact-live-on |
In a previous topic, I shown how to implement a Storage Space Direct on Windows Server 2016 TP2 (it is almost the same thing in Technical Preview 3). In this previous topic I created Storage Pool, storage space and some share from Failover Clustering console. In this topic, I’ll show you how doing the same operation from Virtual Machine Manager Technical Preview 3.
A Virtual Machine Manager 2012R2 Update Rollup 8 installation (on my side I’m in Technical Preview 3).
To make this topic, I have deployed four virtual machines on Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 3. These machine are in a cluster called HyperConverged.int.homecloud.net. I have installed Hyper-V and File Servers role on these servers because it is a POC for Hyper-Convergence (I’m waiting for nested Hyper-V on Windows Server J). Each virtual machine is connected to 5 disks of 40GB.
Each server is connected to four networks.
Live-Migration: dedicated network to migrate VM from one host to another.
The Scale-Out File Server role is deployed in the cluster. I called it VMSto. VMSto can be reachable from storage network.
To finish, I have added a vmm runas account in the Administrators group in each server.
Now I’m connecting to Virtual Machine Manager in the Fabric. I add a Storage Device (right click on Arrays, Add Storage Devices).
Next select the provider type. With Scale-Out File Server, select Windows-Based File Server.
Next type the cluster name and select the RunAs account related to the account that you have added in local Administrators group in each server.
Then the Scale-Out File Server should be discovered with 0GB capacity. It is because there is no Storage Pool created yet. Just click on next.
Then select the Scale-Out File Server to place under management and click on next.
Once the storage device is added to VMM, you can navigate to File Servers and right click on the device. Select Manage Pools.
In the next window, there is the list of storage pool. Because no storage pool is created nothing appears. So click on New to create a storage pool.
Give a name to the storage pool and select a classification.
Then select disks that will be in this storage pool.
To finish you can specify the Interleave.
Once the storage pool is created, you should see it in Storage Pools window as below.
Next run a rescan on the provider and navigate to Array. Now a pool is managed by VMM.
Moreover it has been added to the right classification.
Now, I create a file share to store my VMs. So I select create file share. I give a name to the share and I select a storage pool.
Then I specify a size for the volume, a file system, the resiliency and an allocation unit size. If you have SSD and HDD in the pool, VMM will ask you if you want to Enable Storage Tiers.
Once the share is created, a new LUN (in fact it is a Cluster Share Volume) is added under the storage pool.
In File Share view, you should have your new File Share.
Now you have just to add the share in the Hyper-V configuration as below.
Now you can deploy VMs in this share as you can see below.
If we come back in the failover clustering console, you should retrieve the Storage Pool, CSV and share that we have created from VMM. First if you navigate to Pools, you should have a new storage pool called Bronze-Tier01.
Then in Disks, you should have a new CSV belonging to your storage pool.
To finish, if you navigate to the Scale-Out File Server role and you select share tab, you should see the new file share.
You can list disks available from VMM to add them to a storage pool. For that I used Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk cmdlet.
Then I use the below script to create a storage pool with the selected physical disk.
$storageArray = Get-SCStorageArray -Name "Clustered Windows Storage on HyperConverged"
$disksToAdd += Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk -ID "69d0702d-5de1-4ac4-82f2-224d1b47676c"
$disksToAdd += Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk -ID "a77c70bd-96df-482c-87e2-314f288e7142"

$disksToAdd += Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk -ID "97dd5243-7502-48cc-9302-433288a487f3"
$disksToAdd += Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk -ID "e44d24ab-9e47-44bd-94ea-5d57f25d8d66"
$disksToAdd += Get-SCStoragePhysicalDisk -ID "c77e6d97-e7c7-4d88-abd8-72ffe468418d"

Katja Iversen, president/CEO of Women Deliver, global advocate for the health, rights and wellbeing of girls and women, says the decision of the US to cut funds to UNFPA will cost women their lives.
On Tuesday, the Donald Trump administration decided to stop funding the UNFPA over what the UNFPA described as the “erroneous claim that UNFPA supports, or participates in the management of a programme of coercive abortion of involuntary sterilization in China”.
UNFPA has denied this, saying “all of its work promotes the human rights of individuals and couples to make their own decisions, free of coercion or discrimination”.
Women Deliver said the US decision to cut support for UNFPA will undermine any progress made towards gender equality and will have grave consequences for girls and women.
In a statement on the website of Women Deliver, the organisation said, “The U.S defunding of UNFPA is senseless and shortsighted. It will cost lives and money, while contributing to a more unequal and unstable world.
Women Deliver vowed to continue speaking out against harmful policies against girls and women.
UNFPA said in 2016, it used the funds received from the US to save the lives of 2,340 women from dying during pregnancy and child birth, and also prevented 947,000 unintended pregnancies, ensured 1, 251 fistula surgeries and prevented 295,000 unsafe abortions. | 2019-04-20T05:22:00 | https://www.thecable.ng/us-decision-to-cut-funds-to-unfpa-will-cost-lives-says-women-deliver |

Tributes have been paid after the death of businesswoman Olive Flynn who passed away after illness on Sunday, July 15.
Olive owned and ran Flynn's Centra Fingerboard on the Charleville Road in Tullamore along with her husband Aidan and was hugely popular in the town and her native Ballycumber.
Olive died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Sunday. She will be sadly missed by her husband Aidan, daughter Niamh, sons Stephen and Niall, sisters, brother, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncle, nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and many friends.
Flynn's Centra Fingerboard will remain closed until Wednesday, July 18 as a mark of respect. Customers and friends from Tullamore and beyond have been paying heartfelt tributes to Olive on social media.

Elaine O'Rourke commented, "Our sincerest condolences to Aidan and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. May Olive Rest In Peace."

A Washington Post poll found that 51% of D.C. residents said they would like to reinstate a ban on gun ownership in the city that was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2008.
And this comes even as D.C. has seen a 58 percent spike in homicides this year — almost all from gun violence.
On Friday, a federal appeals court will consider whether, in the absence of a ban, D.C. officials can continue to enforce certain restrictions on carrying firearms on the streets of the nation’s capital. This includes the requirement that a person state a “good reason” to obtain a concealed- carry permit. In May, I reported on how a judge ruled that a person no longer has to show a good reason to get a permit to carry concealed handguns outside their homes and businesses. This issue will be addressed again in court on Friday (requiring individuals to show “good reason to fear injury,” backed up by evidence of specific threats or previous attacks).
In September, The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 that D.C. cannot ban gun owners from registering more than one pistol per month or require owners to re-register a gun every three years. The court also invalidated requirements that owners make a personal appearance to register a gun and pass a test about firearms laws.
The poll also found that reinstating a total ban on gun ownership is most popular among white residents (62 percent), particularly whites with college degrees (67 percent) and white women (65 percent). African Americans, particularly those living in areas of the city that have experienced a 50 percent increase in robberies at gunpoint this year, were also among the least supportive.

A person needs to demonstrate a ‘good reason’ to carry?
How about a poll on who believes any thing from the washington post.
it sounds to me like the washington post poll is implying the safer you feel, the least likely you are to need to carry a gun….the problem is, you can “feel” as safe as you want, until you’re attacked; then, what do you do, pull a whoopi cushion on them?
Seems to me that the only people who legitimately have REASON to want the People disarmed are the ones who are doing something they think they’d get SHOT for. | 2019-04-24T16:46:13 | https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/half-of-d-c-residents-want-a-return-to-citywide-gun-ban?replytocom=23119 |

Writing fairy tales is easy!
So you want to know how to write a fairy tale? I can tell you how. I am professional writer for more than twenty years and I wrote about three hundred fairy tales and short stories for children, all published (radio shows, magazines, picture books, collections of short stories and audio books).
I am among most popular authors in Slovenia and I got several awards for my writings for kids and adults. Most important of all, I can support my family with my work and stories for kids are among best family resources because of their potential of passive income producing.
Enough about me. You came here to learn about writing. I have a good news: writing a fairy tale is pretty easy. Same stands for every kind of story writing, including stories for kids. In most cases you need just couple of hours to make your very own if you follow some simple rules.
I'll try to present them as illustrated step by step instructions. Look at them, take some time to enjoy their beauty and think about great stories they represent.
You need a character your audience can relate with. It can be human being, animal, plant or object. It really doesn't matter, but in practice humans and animals were always best for the main role.
If you want a teapot playing main character in your fairy tale, be my guest. Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde wrote several pretty good ones with objects in leading roles but even in their best works main characters are humans or animals.
The most important thing is set of characteristics. Your hero must have some characteristics the reader of fairy tale can relate to. Is he funny? Smart? Brave? Nice? Good-looking? And even more important: what are his shortcomings? Is he too small? Too weak? Too shy? Too lazy? Boring?
Good example is a main character in Valiant Little Tailor. Every child, boy or girl, can totally relate with him because every kid has to deal with mean spirited giants (adults who simply have too much power) on daily basis.
Positive set of characteristics makes your character a hero.
But only with some faults he can be believable hero!
We can debate about equal rights, living in 21st century and so on, but let's face it: lady in trouble always sounds great as a basic story synopsis.
O.k., we have a hero or heroine, but we certainly need something else!
Do you prefer reading a book to learn the tricks of the trade?
For some reason many of us decide to write a fairytale. Most of these creations will never be published but they can still give us tremendous pleasure when we make them and read them. Just to ourselves or to wider audience.
The basic rules are really simple and they can be covered by a cheat sheet presented in this page. But in most cases you will still need a little extra to make a really good story for kids. Maybe you can get some help from the books written by people who had already done it several times?
They share their tips in great books in your nearest store: Amazon on-line!
Really practical guide with easy to follow rules. You'll have your very own treat for children in no time!
Yes, creating interesting and convincing character can be time consuming. Actually pretty time consuming.
But I can disclose you a little trick (I use it all the time, but I have some even better tricks in my sleeve).
When you create a good character, you can use him (or her) in many fairy tales or stories.
Of course even the greatest character is not enough!
What is a setting? Well, think about place and time of your story. Does it start once upon a time when young girl must leave her home because of poverty, or is it a modern tale about divorced parents who fight for their only kid?
What is its range? Will everything happen in couple of minutes, or will it last for decades?
How important will your setting be? Will determine heroes' actions or will just add some touch of credibility?
Don't forget the possible symbolic meanings of setting! Fairy tales are stories about growing up. So in most cases you should start a story with a kid or youngster facing a great challenge. Challenge should be bigger than him, it should be so big, the reader could feel the possibility of being lost in the situation.
And what is better place to be lost in than dark dark woods?
Yes, it is possible to write a one, just right to suit your needs, your audience, your taste.
Your story, your rules. Welcome to the world of creativity and imagination!
Send your hero on the mission!
What is his quest? Is he searching for wealth? Love? Wisdom? Wants to rescue or protect somebody? Set his goal!
Can you set it even higher?
This book is written for all ages, even for children which often have surprisingly sparkling ideas.
Perfect opponent in is of course... - ...the evil witch!
Reward on the end of the journey should be spectacular!
Don't forget -.in most of great stories the biggest obstacle to heroes' success is hero himself!
In quest for success we really have only our limitations. So we have to overcome them, improve ourselves and earn a reward - a change, become responsible and respective part of society.
With a helper you don't only introduce a new skill, you can open a whole new world of interactions among characters.
Human being is never a lone island. Even Robinson Crusoe had Friday!
... the more the merrier!
In most stories a side-character is introduced only because of his function (to do something instead of hero, to give him important information, magic object, etc.), but it is your job to at least try adding him some depth.
Think about the hunter in Snow White. Think about his dilemmas. He surely didn't want to hurt Snow White, but if he wouldn't listen the evil queen, he would put in danger his and his family's lives!
Every dilemma makes a story stronger, more recognizable, better!
Now you just need to add a pinch of magic!
Make your stories through play! - Writing stories as a child's play!
Yes, you read it right. Making your own stories is fun and you don't even have to be literate for this. You can actually learn how to write a story for kids without noticing you are learning!
This is a game for a whole family. You get a set of cards and each card presents a character, setting or other typical element of a fairy tale.
The game comes with clear instructions, it is suitable for kids from three years above, but it really offers a lot of fun to everybody involved.
Quality time, family bonding and playful way to learn about the composition of a story - who wants more?
A fairy tale or a story?
If you wanted learn how to write a story for kids, you can skip this part.
But if you want to write a fairy tale, some kind of magic should be added too!
Don't be too easy on your hero or the audience. Especially don't be too easy on yourself!
But if you want to write great story add something special, some surprise, maybe humor, unexpected twist, just something to remember.
Note: harder the battle, more glorious the win!
Give your audience a happy ending!
They breathed and trembled with your hero.
Do you believe, you can write a fairy tale now?
Yes, it is really easy!
It is really nothing extraordinary. In fact everybody already lives his very special fairy tale right now!
Will you try to make your own story for children?
@Charito1962: Please do, it's fun!
Thanks for these valuable tips! I must say that writing for young minds is a difficult task. But I'll try to write a tale someday.
Interesting lens! You make it sooo clear and look easy on how to write a tale. it's good that you highlight this here.
Not sure if I would ever write a fairy tale, but your lens is definitely a great resource. It's almost magical how you explain the basics and what makes a fairy tale great. Thanks.
Your writing is so entertaining, I smiled all the way through reading this - but you offer the wannabe storyteller a great deal of good practical advice in there, under the good humour. Well done - I'm bookmarking this one to come back and read again!
Thanks for the instructions. I have often thought about doing this.
What a great lens! My wife illustrated a fairy tale for some friends. It just came out. Even though we are adults, she loves having me read them to her out loud. I do it with an English accent to add a touch of culture. Great fun.
@VioletteRose LM: Maybe you should start with a climax and build a story from there? I sometimes start with an ending and write it backwards!
This is really great information. I have never even written a short story myself, even though I tried many times. I start really great, move forward then get stuck somewhere and I drop it there unfinished. I usually struggle with finding a climax.
I loved your Lens! In my life I've been writing many things, but not stories for children. It sounds like a great and not so hard challenge. Children are great so it's very rewarding to write them a story! Thanks for this great short guide into story telling for our little ones!
This is a great lens for my daughter to read, since she has to write stories and fairy tales for school.
@anonymous: I don't have a system for creating messages. sometimes something happens and I feel the message with such intensity to build a story around it without any planning. On other occasion I simply 'steal' a message from old story, like I presented in my step by step instructions bellow (example: Cricket and Ant by Esop) and make a story with original view, or twisted message, or completely new setting etc.
All good advice thanks Tolovaj - I'm just thinking of writing a children's book so this has been a great help!
I am a writer myself but I have never quite written a fairytale. I am going to now thanks a lot for this! I shall practice it! It seems a lot of fun! But a question, how do you make an over-all message or theme for it?
Great info and tips! I'm inspired to write and create a wonderful fairy-tale with my young sons as co-authors!
@MaryMitchell: Nice to hear that. Good luck!
@anonymous: Depends... I think the hardest is to write something short and meaningful. With fairy tales you have a lot of room where certain mistakes in structure are forgivable.
fairy tales are probably the hardest to write!
You make it sound so simple, and I guess it would be (within reason) now that you have pointed out the things we have always taken for granted in reading a fairy tail.
@KerryVor: I hope my tips help... If you persist, everything could be done, really!
Thank-you Tolovaj. I have a kids novel, half-written, that I think using some of your wonderful advice will help me to finish.
@jeskasight: You just have to start. It gets easier from then on!
@LauraCarExpert: Glad to hear that. Great idea is a great first step. Now you just have to make another step. It is simple. One step at the time.
Yes I already have few ideas to start, and this lens helped me a lot.
@yarfodg: Hope it helped a bit!
Thanks for sharing..this is a lens to refer back to when I start my Fairy Tale!
Thank you for liking my Lens on online guitar lessons. Great Lens on how to write a fairy tale!
Tomo, I absolutely love your writing style! I have almost read everything yours since Zmaji so... I haven't written anything for fun for many many years now, but I am bookmarking this. As soon as I am done with writing a book for my work I'll give it a try. So glad I ran into this. Keep writing!!!!
@webscribbler: Thanks for your explanation. Although I understand the informational oriented writing doesn't have a lot of space for poetic elements, I believe all writers can add something special to any kind of writing. I was working as a sport journalist for several years and trust me - even a boring soccer game can be presented as exciting piece... I also 100 percent agree with you thoughts on writing for small circle of audience like family etc. The most important thing is to try.
Thanks again for your kind visit!
@TolovajWordsmith: I think you may have misunderstood my post. It was meant to be a compliment to you. Reading it again, I'm not sure it turned out that way.
I write primarily informational pieces. My dandelion lens that you so generously praised is a good example. There's not much room for poetic type writing in the pieces I usually write when conversions and keyword count are more important than writing to draw a picture, create suspense or tell a story. I tend to write tall tree. Getting more visual in my writing is one of the areas I hoped to use Squidoo to work on.
I do plan on visiting more of your lenses as they provide the first useful information for aspiring writers that I have seen in a long time.
I love the idea of encouraging people to try. Even if they write fairy tales that only their children will hear and love, they should give it a go. It could even be a family project that becomes a treasured heirloom.
You make it sound so easy but I know it's not. Good storytellers can set the scene by describing it to you. They don't say things like "tall tree" they say "the tree's limbs stretched up to the sky, higher than the birds fly". That style of writing takes practice but also a talent that not every writer possesses.
Thank you for the inspiration and I'm definitely going to check out your other writings too.
@kathysart: So go for it!
I have been meaning to! This is sooo helpful. I love the illustrations you used for your examples too.
I used to write short stories and fairy tales for my younger brother and sister when I was younger (second grade or so). Since then I have graduated to books.
@LouisaDembul: It is not necessary a lot of work although sometimes you need to correct and correct and correct... But you are totally right on being fun:) Go for it!
I've never tried to write a fairy tale, sounds like a lot of work. But would be fun to try!
@anonymous: Yes, do that. It's fun!
Perhaps. This would be fun to do with my kids. I guess we'll have to try one.
@Kimberley Vico: Nice to hear that!
This is something I would like to do. Lovely lens.
I sure will endeavor to! Great Lens... thank you!
I am going to give it a try. I have a little story in mind that I might work up. Just have to think it through.
Although I have a difficult time with character development, I will try to write a fairy tale. Thanks, you have provided excellent tips and advice.
@hmrezaul123: Certainly hope they will!
@Felicitas: Glad I helped a bit:) Thanks for your kind words!
Great lens. I think people will learn how to write fairy tails.
I can see why you've done so well as a writer. I liked and tweeted this lens. The advice you give sounds easy, but to do it well requires a deep understanding of people's psychological makeup. And, you're able to do all that while staying lighthearted. That's rare. I will have to reread this lens a few times, and maybe pick up a couple of the writing books you recommend.
I hope to give it a try. I have been doing some research on how to. Your lens is so encouraging and helpful. | 2019-04-24T12:12:19 | https://hubpages.com/literature/how-to-write-a-fairy-tale |
Twitter Services Help You Track Stats | Yenom Marketing Inc.
As more and more people (to the tune of 2.5 million users a month) are using Twitter to develop social and business networks, more and more software geeks are getting in on the fun by developing analyzers and statistics tools, among other applications, to help show your status and to enhance your Twitter mojo. While some of these tools are just for fun, others are taken rather seriously by people who interpret the data to find new ways to build their following and influence.
Here’s the low down on a few of the more popular tools being used to analyze a person’s Twitter activity.
1. Tweet Later – Tweet Later lets you set up a tweet or a series of tweets and schedule them for broadcast later. While this flies in the face of the interactive nature of Twitter, many people find it convenient for times they want to announce something at times they will be unable to do so manually. Tweet Later will also let you automatically follow anyone who follows you and you can even automatically send a welcome message to your new followers.
2. Social Too – Social Too will also give you the option of automatically following people who follow you as well as send them a welcome. Social Too sends you an email each morning with a list of all the people who followed or un-followed you the previous day.
3. Tweet Beep is a service that sends you an alert whenever your chosen keywords are mentioned. You can use Tweet Beep to monitor when your name, your brand or your competition is mentioned. Tweet Beep can also keep an eye on how often your URL is mentioned, even if it’s used in a shortened URL.
4. URL Shortening Services – Because Twitter limits you to only 140 characters per tweet, posting a link to your website can be troublesome. There are several services, such as budurl.com or tinyurl.com that let you type in the URL of any site and will then shorten it into a clickable URL that uses fewer characters.
5. Tweet Stats is a hub for analysis of Twitter trends. Tweet Stats will show you a graph of your tweets per hour and per month. You can see which days you tweet the most in a Tweet timeline and you can also see your reply statistics.
6. Twitter Counter is a widget you can add to your profile, blog or Website. It provides the quantity of your followers by week, month and quarter. Twitter Counter will also predict the future number of your followers based on your average gains/losses.
7. Twitter Grader is a very popular stat tool on Twitter. Twitter Grader looks at the number of your followers, the power of your network, the frequency of your updates and the completeness of your profile and gives you a percentile score.
These are just a few of the services designed to help you use Twitter as productively as possible. While they can all provide you with useful information, its important to remember that they can all have incorrect data available to them as well. So ultimately, let the effectiveness of your Twitter time be determined by the interaction you have with others and the results you get with you business. | 2019-04-25T20:28:42 | https://www.yenommarketinginc.com/twitter-services-help-you-track-stats/ |

AISFOR adopts a corporate strategy aimed both to qualify and consolidate its market position and to facilitate the internal management of activities and resources.
Ensuring a thorough knowledge and awareness of the company's quality on behalf of all the resources, internal staff and external experts.
- published on the company brochure.
Moreover the “Charter of Quality” is periodically discussed, and revised in meetings aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the initiatives undertaken by AISFOR in order to achieve its strategy and mission. Annually, directors review the quality objectives, such as the achievement of the performance indicators foreseen, including customer satisfaction, status of management, results of the different activities.
Growth goals are pursued through a process of optimization of modes of communication and transmission of all information to outside and inside and between the different organizational functions, and also commending and motivating staff, whose involvement and active participation is an essential prerequisite for the implementation of principles and methodologies of a system of quality management. | 2019-04-22T19:12:42 | https://www.aisfor.it/pagine-15-certifications |
Essay: What is an unconference? "If you swapped the people on stage with an equal number chosen at random from the audience, the new panelists would effectively be smarter, because they didn't have the time to get nervous, to prepare PowerPoint slides, to make lists of things they must remember to say, or have overly grandiose ideas about how much recognition they are getting."
Mark Evans, a reporter in Toronto, suggests that we actually put four random people from the former audience on stage. That's not exactly an unconference, but it is an interesting idea.

It was a subtle change at Google, but a profound one. It happened some time ago, without any fanfare, and at first confused me, so I haven't written about it until now. But it's major. Here's the deal.
On some subjects, where there is a DMOZ editor, the editor's descriptions of each page, right or wrong, biased or not, are included with each entry. I'm not going to give examples, because if I do, people will focus on the examples, not the practice.
DMOZ has a bad rep for having editors with conflicts of interest. And it's exclusive, unlike Wikipedia which at least has battles (never thought I'd say that) of people with conflicts, DMOZ doesn't even have dissent among conflicted people, only one point of view exists, because there's only one editor for each category.
Because Google accepts DMOZ as authoritative, it also accepts the conflicts of the editors as authoritative. Bzzzt, that's a bug. The opportunities for payoffs and bribery are incredible, so incredible it must be happening. No one supervises the editors. That Google is willing to give them editorial control over what Google says is surprising, to say the least. It's almost unforgiveable.
Basically Google has become an About.com, but with much more power, and without the scrutiny. They know they're doing it, and so do people who are watching Google, like me. How do we have a discussion about this?

Pepperdine finds simple technology makes it easier than ever to engage students.
Pepperdine University recently evaluated technologies that could help faculty move around while presenting traditional classroom lectures. The goal is to allow instructors to step away from the podium in order to better engage their audiences. Instructors and trainers who are engaging have broken their ties to the podium. Many presenters remain within two feet of the podium, as if trapped by an electric fence. So how do you break this habit and still control your content?
One simple solution is to use a clicker to advance your PowerPoint and Keynote slides. A USB dongle plugs into the computer and receives information from the remote, allowing you to advance the slides at a pace that’s compatible with your speech.
But what if you need the visual cues to help guide your oral presentation? There are plenty of helpful tools; many work with a mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, and connect to your computer via a wireless Internet connection. This setup lets you walk around the room with your presentation on your mobile device, and as you make changes or advance the slides, the application signals your computer to do so as well.
Because the computer mirrors the mobile device, you can freely move about and fully engage your audience.
When an instructor moves around the classroom, students tend to pay attention; they’re less likely to browse the Internet or check Facebook if they know their instructor may walk by. Students also become active listeners, because they visually follow their instructor as he or she moves around the room, and that breaks the monotony — and the tuning out — that comes with always looking forward.
With wireless presentation tools, students are no longer being lectured at or read to from the computer screen. As instructors circulate through the audience, eye contact increases, making students feel more connected to their instructor. In addition, instructors can move closer to soft-spoken students to better hear questions and comments.
Collaboration is another plus: If the instructor passes the tablet around, students can contribute to the digital presentation. In some instances, students can connect their own tablets in order to show their work, which encourages immediate evaluation.
There are many products that remotely connect computers to mobile devices. Doceri is an application that can be installed on both a computer and a mobile device. It also has a whiteboard feature that lets you make on-the-fly annotations.
Pepperdine University faculty members currently use Doceri and presentation remotes. However, hardware solutions for presentation control, such as Apple’s AirPlay and Crestron’s AirMedia, are being considered for implementation. | 2019-04-21T14:49:47 | https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2014/03/warning-step-away-podium |
Guilin has some of the most spectacular karst topography in the world. The tooth-like limestone mountains come in clusters or as isolated monoliths or mesas, often with caves, and sometimes with holes all the way through, like Elephant Hill and Moon Hill in Yangshuo. The mountains were formed by uplifting of the earth’s crust in this region (driven by the Indian tectonic plate pushing under the Asian plate) followed by a great deal of rain over the years. The runoff has dissolved away the softer limestone and washed away other deposits, leaving these remarkably angular chunks of rock.
Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. (See Guilin Map). Guilin Municipality covers an area of 551 square kilometers. It is in a basin surrounded by the Yuecheng Mountain Range, Ocean Hill, Jiaqiao Mountain Range and Tianping Hill. Guilin is located almost due west from Hong Kong, about one hour away by air.
Guilin is in a subtropical monsoon zone with a warm and moist climate. Altitude ranges from about 100 meters by lower reaches of the Li River to 2141 meters at Mao'er Mountain, the tallest peak in South China. Mao'er Shan holds the source of the beautiful Li River. The Li River flows through Guilin from north to south. The center of Guilin city lies on the western bank of the Li River. The geography of this prefecture makes Guilin a unique natural experience for visitors.
Guilin is located to the south and west of the Nanling Mountain, which generally divides subtropical and tropical climate in China. Hence Guilin is one of the most northerly places where two crops of white rice can be grown a year. Most of Guilin city is about 150 meters above sea level. The karst topography is the outstanding feature of Guilin. Though a large portion of the land is flat the karst hills are STEEP and rise 100 or 200 meters above the plain.
Guilin is in the subtropical and monsoon zone with four distinctive seasons.
Spring is warm with some rain, building up towards May and June, the wettest months. On rainy days, the rivers, pinnacles and the city itself can be shrouded in mist, which is especially enchanting.
Summer in Guilin can be hot and humid, but the beauty to be found out doors is quite adequate compensation.
Autumn is beautiful as the weather cools. The terraced fields of Longsheng are wonderfully golden in the harvest season at the end of September or beginning of October.
Winter is cold and moist, especially in January, but can still be very pleasant when the sun is out. It snows occasionally.
The official currency in China is the Renminbi (RMB). The basic unit is the Yuan (also known as " kuai"), which equals 10 jiao (or " mao"), which is then divided into 10 fen. Paper currency comes in 1, 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100 yuan notes. Paper jiao come in denominations of 1, 2, and 5. There are also 1 and 2 fen notes, but these are rarely used as their purchasing power is exactly zero.
You can cash “RMB” with your credit card at most of ATM machines in China, but you may not find machines in Yongding or Nanjing area as of now still developing.
Suggested to bring some RMB in cash if you are visiting Yongding or Nanjing.
All kind of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Million Card, Jetco card are accepted by most of the major hotels and shops in city.
AC 220 V, 50 Hz (some hotels may have 110-volt sockets).
Mainland China 86; Hong Kong 852; Taiwan 886. (Special Telephone Numbers: Police 110; Fire 119; Emergency 120.) Mobile (cell) phone covered mostly the cities in China, Internet access may be provided at most of the leading hotels and internet bars and café.
China visa required for some the foreign passport holder. Please check with the embassy for the visa application. Passport must have the validity of 6 months when you are traveling.
All the airport taxes and service charges, whether for international, regional or internal flights, are included in the air tickets.
Tipping is considered as part of your guide’s income. Drivers and Guides are expecting some reward as a gesture of satisfaction. We suggested US$ 3 per person per day for sit-in-coach group tour and US$5-8 per person per day tipping for private mini van driver and the local guide(s) if their services are good.
In big cities, you have to be patient, never expect the traffic to move rapidly, and allow ample time to get around.
Bicycle is the key type of transportation for local citizens in China. We do not recommend any tourist to take a bicycle ride in the city since the roads are always packed with people.
Bus is another common means of getting around in the city. Services cover most areas. However, you should study the city map and local dialect before you venture out with buses.
It is advisable not to drink tap water. Instead drink boiled water in the flask or bottled-water provided by your hotel. In most cities, bottled beverages are available either in your hotel or department stores. Local beers are relatively inexpensive. There is a wide range of soft drinks or juice in bottle available at shops or store and supermarkets. Coffee or Tea is served at all hotel’s, however most of hotels are served local brands except in International chain hotels. Special diet like vegetarian meal cannot be made on the spot, please advise the land operator in advance, so that the arrangement can be prior to you arrival.
All land arrangements within China are solely at the discretion of our land operators who control the final scheduling of sightseeing programs based on current situation of the day or period like weather, traffic condition etc……. | 2019-04-19T12:51:48 | http://f56.com/tours/Guilin |

PowerPoints are the curse of the intranet, and PDFs the curse of the Web. PDFs reflect print thinking. On the Web, we need web thinking.The next time I download a PDF and the first thing I see is a big picture of someone sitting on a bicycle, smiling; or someone in a suit, smiling; or someone working on an engine, smiling; or puppies in summer grass, yelping, I'm going to be annoyed. I'm going to be very annoyed because this is the Web. I rarely want a brochure. I'm in a hurry and I want to complete a task. My life will in no way improve if I print out a brochure full of meaningless pictures and unhelpful happy-talk. Every time I see a website full of PDFs I have this overwhelming desire to hit the Back button, because these websites scream, "We don't care about your time. We took this print stuff and put it on our site because it saves time for us." The Web is not print. What may work exceptionally well in print may fail miserably on the Web. Print marketing material is designed to get attention. It is written with the intention that the customer will read it in some external environment. Therefore, it often contains contextual and background information on the organization. If someone comes to your website it means that you have already got their attention. Your print brochure, or whatever other form of marketing you used, has worked. The worst thing you can do now is keep using tactics for getting the attention of someone whose attention you already have. The high level contextual and background information that is usually found in brochures is of little or no use on a website. People are at your website because they want to know more. They want facts, meaty stuff. We need to think about the purpose of content. What is its job? What is it meant to achieve? What do our customers need to do and how will this content help them do it? Too many organizations create content without asking themselves these questions. Time is everything today. If I have to print out pages before I can complete a task, that's a major inconvenience and a waste of time. Unless you have solid data that says your customers want to print, then don't force them to print. I am constantly finding Intranets that are littered with PowerPoints. A PowerPoint is a presenter's aid, not a finished product. Publishing a PowerPoint is like asking someone to watch a film without sound. It's no wonder knowledge management has such a bad name. Banning the use of PowerPoints and PDFs will dramatically improve the ability of your customers to complete tasks quickly and simply. This may cost you time but it will win you business. --- Gerry McGovern, a content management author and consultant, has spoken, written and consulted extensively on writing for the web and web content management issues since 1994. | 2019-04-21T08:07:37 | https://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/pdfs-are-evil-lazy-slothful-and-sinful-001064.php |

A laser control system contains an oscillator gas chamber and an amplifier gas chamber. A first voltage input is operatively connected to deliver electrical pulses to a first pair of electrodes within the oscillator gas chamber and a second pair of electrodes within the amplifier gas chamber. An output of the gas chambers is an energy dose calculated by a trapezoidal window. A control circuit connects to the first voltage input for modifying the first voltage input. A feedback control loop communicates an output of the gas chambers to the control circuit for modifying the first voltage input.
The disclosed subject matter is generally related to laser systems and, more particularly, is related to a laser control system for a two chamber gas discharge laser.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a block diagram of a MOPA (Master Oscillator/Power Amplifier) laser system 10 as is known in the prior art. The MOPA laser system 10 is used, for instance, in the area of integrated circuit lithography. In one embodiment of the MOPA laser system 10, a 193 nm ultraviolet laser beam is provided at the input port of a lithography machine/scanner 2 such as stepper or scanner machines supplied by Canon or Nikon with facilities in Japan or ASML with facilities in the Netherlands. The MOPA laser system 10 includes a laser energy control system 4 for controlling both pulse energy and accumulated dose energy output of the system at pulse repetition rates, for instance, of 4,000 Hz or greater. The MOPA laser system 10 provides extremely accurate triggering of the discharges in the two laser chambers relative to each other with both feedback and feed-forward control of the pulse and dose energy.
The main components of the laser system 4 are often installed below the deck/floor 5 on which the scanner 2 is installed. However, the MOPA laser system 10 includes a beam delivery unit 6, which provides an enclosed beam path for delivering the laser beam to an input port of scanner 2. The light source includes a seed laser generator, e.g., a master oscillator 11 and an amplifier laser portion, e.g., a power amplifier 12, described in more detail below, and which may also be an oscillator, e.g., a power ring oscillator (“PRA”), also described in more detail below. For convenience sake throughout this application the seed laser may be referred to as an MO and the amplifier laser may be referred to as a power amplifier or simply a PA, with the intent to cover other forms of seed laser arrangements and amplifier laser arrangements, such as a power ring amplifier (“PRA”), which is in fact an oscillator, i.e., a power oscillator (“PO”), together forming a MOPO, and unless expressly stated otherwise these terms are meant to be so broadly defined. The light source also includes a pulse stretcher 22.
The master oscillator 11 and the power amplifier/power oscillator 12 each include a discharge chamber 11A, 12A similar to the discharge chamber of single chamber lithography laser systems. These chambers 11A, 12A contain two electrodes, a laser gas, a tangential for circulating the gas between the electrodes and water-cooled finned heat exchangers. The master oscillator 11 produces a first laser beam 14A which is amplified, in a PA configuration by two passes through the power amplifier 12, or in the case of a PO/PRA configuration, by oscillation in the PO/PRA, to produce a second laser beam 14B as shown in FIG. 1. The master oscillator 11 includes a resonant cavity formed by an output coupler 11C and a line narrowing package 11B. The gain medium for the master oscillator 11 is produced between two elongated electrodes contained within the master oscillator discharge chamber 11A. The power amplifier 12 is basically a discharge chamber 12A and in this preferred embodiment is almost exactly the same as the master oscillator discharge chamber 11A providing a gain medium between two electrodes, but the power amplifier 12 may have no resonant cavity, unlike a PO/PRA. This MOPA laser system 10 configuration permits the master oscillator 11 to be designed and operated to maximize beam quality parameters such as wavelength stability and very narrow bandwidth; whereas the power amplifier 12 is designed and operated to maximize power output. For this reason the MOPA laser system 10 represents a much higher quality and much higher power laser light source than single chamber systems.
As noted above the amplifier portion may be configured, e.g., for two beam passages through the discharge region of the amplifier discharge chamber, or for oscillation in the cavity containing the amplifier discharge chamber, as shown in FIG. 1. The beam oscillates within the cavity containing the master oscillation chamber 11A between LNP 11B and output coupler 11C (with 30 percent reflectance) of the MO 11 and is severely line narrowed on its passages through LNP 10C. A wavelength of a laser beam emitted from the output coupler 11C is measured by a line center analysis module 7. The line narrowed seed beam is reflected downward by a mirror in the MO wavelength engineering box (MO WEB) 24 and reflected horizontally at an angle slightly skewed (with respect to the electrodes orientation) through the PA wavelength engineering box (PA WEB) 26 to the amplifier chamber 12. At the back end of the amplifier, a beam reverser 28 reflects the beam back for a second pass through PA chamber 12, or for oscillation in the PO/PRA chamber, horizontally in line with the electrodes orientation. A spectral analysis module 9 measures a bandwidth of a laser emitted from the discharge chamber 12A.
The laser system output beam pulses 14B pass from the PA/PO chamber 12A to a beam splitter 16. The beam splitter 16 reflects about 60 percent of the power amplifier output beam 14B into a delay path created by four focusing mirrors 20A, 20B, 20C and 20D. The 40 percent transmitted portion of each pulse of beam 14B becomes a first hump of a corresponding stretched pulse of an output beam pulse 14C. The output beam 14C is directed by beam splitter 16 to mirror 20A which focuses the reflected portion to point 22. The beam then expands and is reflected from mirror 20B which converts the expanding beam into a parallel beam and directs it to mirror 20C which again focuses the beam again at point 22. This beam is then reflected by mirror 20D which like the 20B mirror changes the expanding beam to a light parallel beam and directs it back to beam splitter 16 where 60 percent of the first reflected light is reflected perfectly in line with the first transmitted portion of this pulse in output beam 14C to become most of a second hump in the laser system output beam pulse. The 40 percent of the reflected beam transmits beam splitter 16 and follows exactly the path of the first reflected beam producing additional smaller humps in the stretched pulse. The result is the completed output beam 14C which is stretched in pulse length from about 20 ns to about 70 ns. A beam delivery unit (BDU) delivers the output beam 14C. The BDU may include two beam-pointing mirrors 40A, 40B one or both of which may be controlled to provide tip and tilt correction for variations beam pointing.
FIG. 2 is an illustration of an energy control block diagram 50 for the MOPA/MOPO Laser System of FIG. 1, in accordance with the prior art. FIG. 2 illustrates various control elements that control a voltage supply 52 to the MOPA laser system 10. The energy control block diagram 50 includes a static control 54, which provides a basically determined voltage anticipated to achieve an energy target 56 (if there are no other influences for which account need be made). A feed forward block 58 provides a voltage adjustment based on a trigger interval 60. Trigger interval 60 is used to compute repetition rate, shot number and duty cycle, which impact the ‘voltage input—energy output’ relationship. The voltage adjustment is computed as a function of these values. An energy servo 62 adjusts the voltage input 52 based on a calculated voltage error 64 of the previous shot. A dither cancellation 66 adjusts voltage to cancel energy changes caused by a timing dither 68. Finally, an energy dither 70 provides a periodic signal added to the voltage input 52 used to estimate the effects of voltage on MO energy, output energy, and MOPA timing. These five voltage signals are added together to generate the voltage input 52. As the laser fires, the energy 72 is measured. The energy target is subtracted from the measured energy 72 to create an energy error signal 74, which is scaled by dV/dE, the laser estimate 76 of the derivative of voltage with respect to energy. The resulting voltage error 64 is used to drive adaptation algorithms 78 which adjust some of the voltage signals in a way that minimizes either energy errors, dose errors, energy sigma, or some combination thereof.
The MOPA laser system 10 shown in FIG. 1 is an improvement on the single chamber systems, providing greater beam control, beam power, and stability than the single chamber systems. However, resolving tonal disturbances and further sharpening timing and energy control of the system can significantly improve operation.
Aspects of embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a system and method for controlling a laser system. Briefly described, in architecture, aspects of one possible embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows. The system contains an oscillator gas chamber and an amplifier gas chamber. A first voltage input is operatively connected to deliver electrical pulses to a first pair of electrodes within the oscillator gas chamber and a second pair of electrodes within the amplifier gas chamber. An output of the gas chambers is an energy dose calculated by a trapezoidal window. A control circuit connects to the first voltage input for modifying the first voltage input. A feedback control loop communicates an output of the gas chambers to the control circuit for modifying the first voltage input.
Aspects of the disclosed subject matter can also be viewed as providing methods for controlling a laser system. In this regard, one embodiment of such a method, among others, can be broadly summarized by the following steps: delivering a first voltage input operatively in the form of electrical pulses to a first pair of electrodes within a oscillator gas chamber and a second pair of electrodes within a amplifier gas chamber; calculating an energy dose of an output of the gas chambers with a trapezoidal window; modifying the first voltage input with a control circuit; and communicating an output of the gas chambers to the control circuit with a feedback control loop for modifying the first voltage input.
Other systems, methods, features, and advantages of the disclosed subject matter will be or become apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional systems, methods, features, and advantages be included within this description, be within the scope of the disclosed subject matter, and be protected by the accompanying claims.
Many aspects of the invention can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the disclosed subject matter. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 2 is an illustration of an energy control block diagram for the MOPA/MOPRA Laser System of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an illustration of a graph representing trapezoidal windows of varying repetition rates, in accordance with a first exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing the laser control system of FIG. 5, in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter.
Elements of the disclosed subject matter are based upon the recognition that while square windows have been used in the past for energy dose calculation, some benefits may be realized by adapting to alternative shaped windows. FIG. 3 is an illustration of a graph representing trapezoidal windows of varying repetition rates, in accordance with a first exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter. FIG. 4 is an illustration of a graph of a frequency response of the dose operator for the windows illustrated in FIG. 3, in accordance with aspects of a first exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter. Note that while there are a set of zeros that vary for varying window widths, there are clearly zeros for all windows at 20% and 40% of the sample rate. These zeros correspond to the zeros of a 5 pulse moving average. It can be shown that a trapezoidal window is the convolution of a rectangular window having a length equal to the window size, less the trailing edge and a 5 pulse rectangular window.
where Eref is approximately set to a nominal energy of the laser system 10 and Vref is the voltage approximately required to fire the laser at Eref.
where D is the duty cycle, R is the repetition rate, and n is the shot number. Note that the feed forward voltage has two terms. One term, ƒ0, depends on duty cycle and/or burst interval, and another term, ƒ1, depends on shot number and repetition rate. By design, ƒ1 is identically zero on the first shot of each burst. Therefore, ƒ0 alone determines the feed forward voltage for the first shot of the burst. This term is intended to adjust the laser for changes in efficiency, which typically persists throughout a burst. The ƒ1 term captures the shape of any transients. This law assumes that duty cycle or interburst interval effect just moves the energy vs. shot number up or down equal amounts for all shots in a burst. The shape of the energy transient is assumed to depend only on repetition rate. The ƒ1(R,n) function compensates for the shape of the energy transient.
The ƒ1(R,n) function is maintained as a table versus repetition rate and shot number. A simple integrator is used to adapt the bins. In the past, the bins were initialized to zero, requiring several bursts before the laser control was correctly inverting the transient at the repetition rate. Instead of initializing these bins with zero, feed forward bins may be initialized with values of trained bins that are nearest in frequency. Initializing the bins with a value nearer the correct value for the shape of the energy transient allows the laser control more quickly, and with greater accuracy, to invert the transient at the repetition rate.
An energy servo 162 adjusts the voltage input 152 based on a calculated voltage error 164 of the previous shot within the same burst. The adjustment from the energy servo 162 may be calculated in at least a couple of different modes. First, IISquared feedback is a feedback law known to those having ordinary skill in the art. This feedback law feeds back one voltage proportional to an integral of the voltage error (an integral gain) and another proportional to the voltage error integrated twice (an I squared gain). Several sets of gains are provided for the IISquared filter: soft; hard; and MO. Soft gains are used in operational modes when the objective is to minimize shot to shot energy error. Soft gains are selected to minimize energy errors. Hard gains are used in dose and sigma modes. The hard gains are intended to minimize dose (integrated energy error) and tend to be larger than the soft gains. The MO gains are used in MO energy control modes and are also intended to minimize energy errors.
An alternative to IISquared feedback is dose feedback. Like the IISquared controller with hard gains, the dose feedback controller is intended to minimize dose, however, it uses a control law that gives better performance with non-rectangular dose windows (e.g., trapezoidal dose windows). Dose feedback is controlled by a dimensioning parameter and a vector of gains. The dose feedback controller is available only in dose and sigma modes and may utilize a Linear Quadratic Regulator to minimize the quadratic sum of energy dose and energy error 172. Utilization of the Linear Quadratic Regulator instead of 100% integral feedback has been shown in tests to reduce energy dose error by approximately 25%.
The effect of the laser system 4, as shown in FIG. 5, is to translate the voltage input 152 to energy (evaluated by the energy measurement 172) through a static gain. In addition, there are a set of disturbances added to the energy signal. Thus, the state of the system can be equated to the disturbance dynamics and the dose operator. The energy servo 162 is directed to providing voltage adjustments responsive to the behavior of the dose operator. The energy dose feedback may be calculated as the inner product of a state feedback vector, K and a vector characterizing the state of the dose operator, xd.
where K is computed as a solution of a linear quadratic regulator which minimizes a weighted sum of the square of the energy error and the square of the energy dose error.
where E is laser energy, V is voltage and t is MOPA timing, the difference in firing times between the MO and PA chambers). For certain aspects of timing control, the local slope of the timing versus energy curve is needed. This information is obtained by applying a dither signal to the differential timing commanded to the MO and PA commutator triggers. Because timing couples into energy, this dither signal produces a matching dither in energy. The dither cancellation algorithm adaptively finds a voltage signal which when applied to the laser exactly cancels the dither in energy produced by the timing dither signal. Thus, the timing dither no longer appears in the energy signal and therefore has no impact on energy sigma or energy dose.
A by-product of this cancellation algorithm is the derivative of voltage with respect to timing at fixed energy. This by-product is the slope information that the timing dither was applied to identify in the first place. A parameter used in the laser control system for gas control, dMpopdMopa (the derivative of MopaOpPoint with respect to the difference between MO and PA chamber firing times), may be used to make the dither cancellation approximately instantly responsive to changes in MOPA timing (the difference in MO and PA chamber firing times). If this parameter is off, then on “‘large’” (1-2 ns) changes in MOPA/MOPRA timing, MopaOpPoint 180 (“Mpop”) will jump to a new value and then over then next several thousand shots, drift to a different value. During the time while the MopaOpPoint 180 estimate is converging, some of the timing dither signal will bleed through into energy. If the aforementioned gas control parameter is set correctly, MopaOpPoint 180 should jump to a new value on a “large” MOPA/MOPRA timing change and then remain at the new value with materially diminished drift.
As noted, with respect to FIG. 4, utilizing trapezoidal windows, there are clearly zeros for all windows at 20% and 40% of the sample rate (where the leading and trailing edges of the trapezoidal windows are 5 pulses). The amplitude of a dither may be set low normally to reduce the energy dither, but the low amplitude delays calculation of the derivative of the energy dose verses voltage estimate. If the dither is moved under the zero of one of the trapezoidal windows, the amplitude can be raised with diminished negative impact.
Mpop compensation 182 adjusts the voltage input 152 to compensate for changes in MOPA timing. This adjustment is primarily to stabilize energy for changes of a DtMopaTarget in excess of approximately 1 nanosecond. If a laser is running with bandwidth control enabled (ASC) and is currently operating away from a resonance, to keep bandwidth up, the control system has decreased the delay between MO and PA triggers. At this point, MopaOpPoint will be a low, negative value because DtMopaTarget is several ns below the value for peak efficiency. Then, the scanner 2 switches repetition rate to one which lies on a bandwidth resonance. Bandwidth goes up and the bandwidth controller advances DtMopaTarget by a few ns to compensate. This moves the laser several ns closer to peak efficiency and energy increases in a stepwise manner. This step change in energy will affect energy dose until the energy servo 162 has a chance to compensate.
where E is the laser energy, u is the MopaOpPoint, and k is dMpopDMopa or the derivative of MopaOpPoint with respect to Mopa timing, the difference in firing time between the MO and PA chambers.
A disturbance prediction 184 adjusts the voltage input 152 based on a prediction of the voltage error, assuming that the disturbance acting on energy is a DC offset plus several tones. The tones are at frequencies that are multiples of the MO and PA/PO blower speeds. This predicted voltage error is subtracted from the voltage input 152, thus removing the effects due to DC offset or blower blade passage.
where A is the dither amplitude and nd is the number of cosine periods within one full cycle of the dither.
The dither signal is held off for a fixed number of shots before being started in each burst. The delay is provided so that the dither cannot combine with beginning of burst effects to push the laser 4 out of spec. In order to prevent other signal at or near the dither frequency from interfering with derivative estimates, the phase of the dither signal may be randomized. Randomization is done by randomizing the value of k in the above equation to start the dither. For the windows shown in FIG. 3, the dither frequency is 1 fifth of the rep rate (5 shots leading and trailing each trapezoidal window). This is a key frequency for lasers using trapezoidal windows to calculate dose. For windows which have four pulse leading and trailing edges, 20% of the rep rate lies inside a zero of the dose operator. Hence, dithering at this frequency will have no effect on dose.
These voltage signals are added together to generate the voltage input 152. As the laser fires, the energy is measured 172. The energy target is subtracted from the measured energy to create an energy error signal 174, which is scaled by dV/dE, the laser estimate 176 of the derivative of voltage with respect to energy. The resulting voltage error 164 is used to drive adaptation algorithms 178 which adjust some of the voltage signals in a way that minimizes energy errors, dose errors, or energy sigma, or some combination thereof.

The first voltage input is modified with a control circuit, wherein the control circuit modifies the first voltage input in accordance with the equation V=Eu2/2k, where E is a laser energy, u is a MopaOpPoint, and k is a derivative of MopaOpPoint with respect to a difference in firing time between the gas chambers (block 206).

Eugene had dropped everything in Marseilles to rush to Rome to respond to the Pope’s urgent call. Yet, when he arrived in Rome, it took the Pope two weeks before he received Eugene in audience.
The whole thing is nothing but an intrigue of the French Government which wished to suppress the diocese of Marseilles and fears my influence in the country. It is a poor government that does not realize what it owes me precisely by reason of that influence it so foolishly dreads.
Complaint was laid before the Pope, threats made to charge me before the courts on the ground that I had been ordained bishop without consultation. How I wish I had known about this charge before leaving!
Jesus also faced this problem – and his followers continue to experience it today in many parts of the world.
I think of Eugene’s life thus far and of his total giving of himself to God and the Church – there was no mediocrity at all. His response to the Pope’s request to go to Rome was immediate and in silence (he was not granted the time to gather reinforcements or ‘allies’, or to retaliate in any way).
Betrayal by another or others can be painful, causing us to strike out or to stand true in the face of it. I think for a moment of the life of St. John of the Cross – in his case it was members of his own community who acted against him in the most punishing of manners. For Eugene it is a matter of his government and in the silence of the Church at that time.
This period of Eugene’s life again calls me to look at my own life in the light of Eugene’s life and I am not exactly comfortable with this today. What might this look like today in daily life – one group or one person pitted against another(s)? What part has silence, perhaps my own silence played? Has it happened to me, and if so how have I reacted or responded? Do I take part in power-plays or in trying to cut another down? Do I side with the power or the crowd? And what is my response in the light of small betrayals? Do I strike out or do I stand as Jesus did before Pilate and as Eugene will before Rome and the French government?
My thoughts betray me for although I do not always ‘act’ them out, they arise from a very human place within and betray me. Like Jesus when he told Peter to “get behind me Satan” I too must acknowledge my own darkness and weaknesses and put them behind me.

The Skimm, a daily newsletter that keeps millennials informed about current events, used outdoor advertising to share their No Excuses nonpartisan campaign with a goal of getting 100,000 young people to the polls to vote in the midterm elections. By typing their physical address into The Skimm's Ballot Cheat Sheet, voters can find all the info they need for their local races.
Here's a flashback to 2016 when the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) launched the "Vote to Count" PSA campaign reminding Americans that while all labels matter, only one label counts on election day: VOTER.
The message is clear: To be heard, get out and VOTE!
