Fishers Cops & Kids was developed in 2012 by Officers Alicia Ahnert and Tracy Jones. This program has continued to grow, and the opportunity to serve the youth of our community and the Hamilton Southeastern Schools has increased.
The main goal of Cops & Kids is to provide youth in need with a memorable holiday season. Each child is assigned their own police officer for the day as they embark on a shopping experience they won’t soon forget!
Families start the day at City Hall where they begin the captivating festivities with Jack’s Donuts. After shopping, they return to City Hall where officers share a lunch provided by Texas Roadhouse, Taylor’s Bakery, and Gigi’s Cupcakes. The kids leave with all items wrapped by our magical elves!
Due to the success with Cops and Kids and the generosity of the community we are now able to serve those in need year-round. The Fishers Police Department accepts donations year-round to assist families when various needs arise.

What additional information are you looking for on the topic of environmental pollution?
This is a sad reality in many countries in Asia. For example, the Mekong Delta rivers in Vietnam are so full of garbage (mostly discarded bits of plastic), that motorboats often get stuck because their engines get caught onto pieces of trash. The story is similar in China, Cambodia, Bangladesh, India… It starts at the individual scale and ends with massive industrial waste going into the rivers as well. And then we wonder why things like the Pacific Garbage Patch are such a serious issue in our world today. | 2019-04-19T06:59:28 | http://www.bionomicfuel.com/3-different-kinds-of-pollution-you-didnt-know-about-part-1/ |
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming increasingly popular due to the operating efficiency they offer. However, variable frequency drives can create undesirable harmonic effects if not properly supplied. If these effects are left unchecked, they can interfere with neighboring equipment, reducing its productive life or even damaging it. They may also negatively impact your utility provider’s power quality, resulting in penalties. Passive harmonic filters can help, but they tend to reduce effectiveness at loads less than 100%, those offsetting one of the advantages of using a VFD. Adaptive passive technology, on the other hand, maintains strong harmonic filtering performance across a wide range of loads.
Any modern electrical equipment with embedded microprocessors and electronic circuitry has the potential to create a nonlinear load that will produce harmonics. These harmonics, in turn, create non-sinusoidal line currents in the form of electrical pulses which distort current and voltage, adding strain to electrical systems. As harmonics are reflected onto the utility grid and accumulate, they can interfere with the power quality. This can impact your bottom line since large commercial and industrial facilities typically enter into a utility contract that often has financial penalties for lack of compliance with the provider’s harmonic limits.
How Do You Know If You Have Harmonics?
You may need to call on an expert to see if your equipment is producing harmonics, but there are some warning signs to look out for. If you occasionally experience some unexplained occurrences such as flickering lights, alarms going off, and circuit breakers and earth leakage protection devices tripping for no apparent reason, you are most likely experiencing harmonics in your electrical environment. Harmonics can cause equipment to run hot, so if you find hot cables, hot switchboards, or overheating motors, harmonics may be causing stress on your equipment. In the long term, harmonics degrade an electrical system, resulting in damage and the need to replace equipment before its expected life span––costing you money. The presence of harmonics also means that a large percentage of the power you are being supplied may be unusable.
All variable frequency drives can create harmonics in electrical systems. Harmonic mitigation devices can be used on both the input side and output side of a VFD to minimize the effects of harmonics. In a recent test, a 6-pulse VFD from Advanced Industrial Devices with a harmonic filter using adaptive passive (AP) technology outperformed an active front end (AFE) drive in a number of important areas. The addition of the MTE Matrix AP device resulted in improved harmonic performance under balanced line conditions as well as imbalance conditions, and had similar performance for loads ranging from 50 to 100%, unlike the results of an 18 pulse or AFE drive. In addition, the 6-pulse drive with the Matrix AP harmonic filter offers smaller equipment size, lower price, shortened lead time, and increased availability of drives and corresponding replacement parts when compared to the 18 pulse or AFE drive.
The challenges involved in addressing harmonics can be confusing. That’s where the experts at AID can help. AID has been in business for more than 35 years and brings over 100 years of product and application knowledge of motors and VFD systems. As a result, we have the expertise to help you mitigate harmonics issues while providing a VFD system that can help optimize your process and increase reliability. We’ll make sure you get the best use of your equipment for years to come.

I’m a Special Guest at Comic-Con!
The fine folks at Comic-Con International have invited me to be a Special Guest for this year’s San Diego Con! To say I’m overwhelmed by the honor is a colossal understatement, and while I don’t want to discount the impact TwoMorrows has made on the industry over the last 23 years, I’m sure the fact that it’s Jack Kirby’s 100th Birthday also had something to do with it.
When I published (or more accurately, hand-xeroxed and mailed 125 copies of) The Jack Kirby Collector #1 back in September of 1994, I had no idea where it would take me—just that it was my heartfelt tribute to the comics creator who’d had such a profound effect on me. Now, TJKC is taking me back to the event where I finally got to meet Jack and his charming with Roz, and I’ve been working overtime to make sure I bring something exciting for fans attending the non-stop Kirby Party there this year.
I’m already hard at work on Jack Kirby Collector #72, and Jon B. Cooke and I are close to wrapping up KIRBY100, our all-star celebration by 100 top pros, critiquing key images from Kirby’s career. Both of these will debut at the Con, at good old Booth #1301, our usual spot next to the Golden & Silver Age Pavilion.
There’ll also be a plethora of Kirby-related panels and events featuring Kirby collaborators, family and friends, and I’m putting together a multi-media presentation about Jack’s life and career, and how he’s been intrinsically intertwined with just about everything I’ve done at TwoMorrows Publishing. I plan to take this presentation to several other conventions through the end of 2017, but Comic-Con is the first place I’ll be on hand to present it myself.
If you’ve never been to Comic-Con, and you love Jack Kirby’s work, this is the year to go. Scoring tickets is a lot harder than it was in Jack’s days there, but trust me: it’ll be worth the effort. I look forward to seeing you there!

Big Hair Animal Rescue (BHAR) is a volunteer run 501c3 rescue located in Central Massachusetts. We are a foster based rescue and have foster homes up and down the North East coast from Maine to New Jersey. Since being founded in 2015 we have saved nearly 600 lives. We are non breed specific; however, we primarily focus on helping Chows and breeds that over populate shelters like Chihuahuas, hounds, pit bulls and cats.
Big Hair Animal Rescue has a strong focus on helping community cats. We urge you to get involved! We can assist you with and train you on trapping, building shelters and will schedule spay and neuter surgeries for your feral/stray cats at no cost to you. We have assisted with several colonies in the Boston area as well as in Southbridge Massachusetts. If you need assistance please reach out!
BHAR is a registered public charity that relies on the generosity of volunteers and the public. Donations go towards providing medical care, training, and supporting our fosters with food, bedding and supplies for our dogs and cats in rescue. We typically have 30-40 cats and dogs in our care at all times.
Every day thousands of adoptable shelter pets are euthanized in the US; BHAR is committed to helping one shelter pet at a time and placing them in loving homes. Please help us make a difference for the forgotten ones that no one has come for. | 2019-04-25T07:58:26 | http://www.bighairanimalrescue.com/about.html |
Concrete is made ready for acclaimed director Ridley Scott who was immortalized in concrete when he placed his hand and foot prints in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on Wednesday, May 17, 2017.
Acclaimed director Ridley Scott shows off the concrete on his hands. Scott was immortalized in concrete when he placed his hand and foot prints in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on Wednesday, May 17, 2017.
On Hollywood Boulevard, just past the man with the albino python wrapped around his neck, lies the TCL Chinese Theatre. Four years ago, the iconic landmark received a multimillion dollar makeover to revive its faded beauty, not unlike some of the aging actors who’ve placed their hands and feet in the theater’s cement courtyard.
But Thursday , the majestic movie theater will mark 90 years as the Grand Dame of Hollywood Boulevard, playing host to 20,000 visitors a day from around the globe.
“It’s just like it looks on TV,” marveled Jay and Nazira Momin, who were visiting from Atlanta.
These days it hosts more than 40 movie premieres a year, and it screens the blockbusters moviegoers can’t wait to see each weekend.
On Wednesday — a day before the theater’s birthday — Harrison Ford stopped by to watch his friend Ridley Scott, who directed him in the 1982 blockbuster “Blade Runner,” press his hands into wet cement. The filmmaker will be immortalized on the walk in front of the Chinese, along with the likes of Groucho Marx, Betty Grable and George Burns, who left an imprint of his famous cigar.
Scott noted how much the somewhat-seedy neighborhood has changed.
Built during the silent- film era, the movie house opened in 1927 as Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, named after its founder, Sid Grauman. It became Mann’s Chinese Theatre in 1973, reverted back to its original name in 2001, then took on the moniker TCL Chinese Theatre after naming rights were purchased by the Chinese electronics firm, TCL Corp. in 2013.
Outside the theater Wednesday, tourists were excited to get a glimpse of the landmark and a few real-life movie stars.
“It’s incredible. I saw Harrison Ford just now,” said 14-year-old Eileen Befeler of Costa Rica as her father smiled.
She added that the movie palace was everything she imagined.
Now, Kushner, 35, reports that the TCL Chinese is the largest IMAX theater in the world.
She said she thinks founder Sid Grauman would appreciate the transformation. | 2019-04-18T13:07:35 | https://www.dailynews.com/2017/05/17/hollywoods-iconic-chinese-theatre-famed-for-footprints-turns-90/ |
I celebrated Mothers’ Day twice this year: both on the holiday as celebrated last Thursday in Mexico and again on Sunday in the U.S. (In Mexico, they keep a fixed date of May 10, whereas in the states we change the date around to keep it as the second Sunday in May).
Though I’m usually out in Teotitlán del Valley every Thursday anyway teaching English classes as part of En Vía’s loan enrichment program, we had cancelled class for the fiesta. Not only would most of our students and their families be attending the Mothers’ Day celebration in Teotitlán, but the entire municipal building where we hold classes, as well as the town plaza just outside, would be occupied with the fiesta. Honestly, there’s always a fiesta going on in town. Or a parade. Or both.
I had stopped by the weaving shops of a couple of En Vía borrowers on the way to the fiesta, including Josefina, who was one of the program’s very first loan recipients. Mother of four children herself, her youngest, six-year-old Maria José, was getting ready to participate in a dance for the celebration. Josefina helped her into her full, ruffled skirt and embroidered blouse. María José was hopping around so excitedly she almost couldn’t stand still enough for her mother to add a little lipstick and blush.
“What’s the name of your dance,” I asked her? “The caballito dance!” she squealed. Kidding, I asked her if she was a caballita (little horse). “No, silly!” she said. “The boys are the caballitos!” And not wanting her to be late – for hers was the first dance of the event – we piled into a moto-taxi and headed to the town square.
The whole plaza was covered with a big white tent, good insurance not only against the blazing afternoon sun, but also for the possible showers in this early rainy season. Up against the steps of the municipal building were piled a beribboned stack of door prizes for the raffle: woven market baskets and a host of coveted household goods like dishes, glasses, pitcher and glass sets, blenders and the clear king: a full-sized refrigerator.
At least half the town’s 6,000 or so residents turned out for the day’s festivities. The older gentlemen wear slacks and straw hats, the women traditional plaid skirts (actually just pieces of cloth tied with a sash), floral blouses, braids and rebozos, or shawls, on their shoulders or heads.
Being at least six inches and sometimes a whole foot taller than most of the indigenous women (and I’m only 5’6”, not exactly a giant in the states), I guess I stood out in the crowd in my turquoise visor. At least a dozen women, former and current students in the English classes and weavers I know from town, shouted out greetings to me as we waited for the fiesta to begin. I can manage “hello” in Zapotec, but not much more; it’s a tonal language, all soft sounds pitched inflections. (But of course, they all speak Spanish too (which means our English classes introduce a third language).
The traditional nieve served on Mothers’ Day – prepared in the municipal building where we normally hold English classes – was brought out on trays and passed around to all free of charge. Nieve is a frozen treat more like sorbet than ice cream, and these were festively red and white: white leche quemada ice cream (literally “burned milk,” like a vanilla custard) with a topping of rosy pink tuna (which has nothing to do at all with tuna fish, but is made of the red fruit of the prickly pear cactus).
The band began to play, the first dancers came out. The caballitos pranced and threw their handkerchiefs down; the little girls (including María José) danced and smiled and completely captivated the crowd. Alas, I didn’t get to stay for the whole fiesta; the last bus from Teotitlán back to Oaxaca leaves at 6 p.m. and you’d better be on it if you don’t want to be waiting down on the highway three miles away to catch a ride back to the city in the dark.
I ate the piece of sweet corn cake, given to me at the fiesta by one of my students, on the bus back to Oaxaca City (about an hour away), and got soaking wet walking back home from the bus stop in the rain. Nothing, though, could dampen the wonderful feeling of belonging here, with my own children so far away on Mothers’ Day.
And yeah, the kids (who turn 26 and 28 this week). Bryan, the younger one, called me on Sunday morning to wish me happy American Mothers’ Day. He was sitting with his girlfriend at the feet of the Grand Tetons outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he lives. My older son, David, Skyped me that night from Katmandu, Nepal, just having trekked back from Everest Base Camp One, halfway through his trip around the world this year.
Kids grow up and if you’re lucky in this economy, they leave home. My own left not just the house but the state and even the country, as did I. I used to be a suburban Dallas housewife and now -- I’m not. And in choosing a new place to live, I’ve gotten to choose new family as well to stand in as my own.
Happy Mother’s Day! Recognising the ways that Mothers Invest for the Future.
The great majority of the women that En Via works with are mothers. Today we wish to recognise the ways in which as mothers and businesswomen, women are working hard to provide for their children and families.
Ameli and her son Axel, in Diaz Ordaz.
One of the primary reasons that En Via lends money to women is that statistically, women have shown to invest in ways that directly benefit their families and communities. We see this time and time again as we hear that profits from businesses are used to support children through school, or to provide them with healthcare, or other essential aspects of their development.
We know that each individual loan is making an impact on the lives of many people because we know that the women we work with are sharing not only the financial profits of their projects and businesses with their families, but also the knowledge and self-esteem that comes from their participation in the program as a whole.
Amelia and her daughter and expected baby boy, in Teotitlan.
Recently we had the pleasure of visiting with one of our borrowers, Enedina Gonzalez Alvarez, with a tour group. Enedina is a weaver, and like many of our borrowers, she invests her loans in a family business that produces tapetes, or wool rugs. Her husband and children introduce themselves to us as we arrive, and it is clear to everyone that the family is a very close unit.
Oscar, Enedina's 17 year old son, hurries over with something to show the group; a great big bag of seed pods that will be used for naturally dying the wool the family will use for weaving. His face is glowing with pride as he stands by his mother as she explains the process to us.
Later I ask him what he thinks about the En Via program. Regarding the tours, he said he loves to have the chance to meet new people and interact with visitors. “The loans help our family and other families we know a lot”, he says seriously.
Enedina and her sons Oscar and Romero in Teotitlan.
I often wonder about the type of role models that are being encouraged and created, and am delighted to hear Oscar say that he is learning from his mother and family about how the money is best managed.
Enedina tells me how one of her favourite parts of the work is the way she works everyday with her family. They have 4 looms that are arranged side by side in the patio.
Oscar says that they exchange ideas, and even sing together sometimes as they weave. “I enjoy the time when we are together. When I am by myself working I feel lonely”, he says.
Romero, Enedina's younger son of 14 years, is also interested in the visit from En Via. “I think it is a good program that is helping the community”, he says. “I am proud of my mother, and I am grateful for what she teaches me”.
There are mothers of all ages and backgrounds in our program. Many have told me personally that the most important thing in their lives is being a mother. We have the privilege of knowing many of their children and of seeing them grow and develop over the years we have been working in the communities. All of us at En Via wish to congratulate all the mothers of the program for their hard work, and for the ways in which they continue to support their families as well as their communities as a whole. To all mothers everywhere, Happy Mother's Day!

Our 50cc Mini Moto range is based upon the Italian and Chec exotic race models. A budget based reproduction of these £2000+ high-performance editions, these bikes are incredible value for money and produced for fun!
With a range of stylish themed decals, you can choose your colour and style.
The 49cc engine is reliable, easy start and with tuning modifications, power and speed can be easily doubled!
The excellent geometry means the bike steers, turns, and corners without fuss. Complementing the sweet handling are the performance racing tyres, better grip over standard tyres in either dry or damp conditions.
Top speed depends on rider weight, but on average you should see 20-30mph with the bike in the standard specification. At just inches from the ground, it feels twice as fast!
Both standard and performance parts are available for this model.
Despite being the highest quality in this product type, as a budget replica, please bear in mind that these bikes are produced for best value, and as such the finish will not be that of our higher priced ranges. It is not unusual to find blemishes, slight marks and scratches in the paintwork, and if you could please manage your expectations to suit the cost of the bike, you will not be disappointed.
Overall Length 94cm, Width 49cm & Height 55cm. A seat height of 46cm. 60kg max rider weight and a top speed of 30mph based on weight and terrain. | 2019-04-23T04:05:30 | https://www.funbikes.co.uk/p3662_mini-moto-50cc-blue-orange-mt4a |
I bought a pair of higher grade 1860-S double eagles at the recent Baltimore coin show and, in my opinion, this example is nicer than the other (a PCGS AU58) which I sold wholesale. This piece has deep, rich green-gold color with a good deal of remaining luster. It is somewhat weakly struck for the issue with plainly bevelled edges and a lack of detail (even for this issue) on the hair below the tiara. Still, this is a premium coin on account of its originality and I find the 1860-S to be an extremely hard issue to find with natural color and surfaces. | 2019-04-24T16:38:59 | https://raregoldcoins.com/blog/coin-vault/1860-s-20-00-ngc-au55-2 |
This blog post will answer each of these questions individually, using the example of the Magento 2-Series compatibility changes.
Which versions of Magento are affected?
The fix for 2-Series compatibility was incorporated into Magento 1 Enterprise Edition version 1.14.3.0 (Community Edition version 1.9.3.0) and Magento 2 version 2.1.3. Therefore, any client running Magento 1 less than version 1.14.3.0 or Magento 2 less than version 2.1.3 is affected.
What options are available to remediate the issue?
The issue can be remediated by upgrading the Magento code base to a version that includes the fix, or applying a Magento supplied patch dubbed “SUPEE-8967”. Something Digital prefers upgrading clients to the latest version of Magento whenever possible, but sometimes it is impractical, in which case patches may be applied.
What are the potential pitfalls developers will encounter when applying the required fix to the code base?
Magento is a highly extensible platform. This is a feature that makes it attractive to developers and merchants alike. However, with this flexibility comes the power to make customizations that lead to incompatibility with future Magento updates.
– The site may be using a custom payment method that implements its own validation logic, separate from the fix to Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Cc provided by Magento.
How can we QA the fix to confirm it has been correctly incorporated into the code base?
Given this risk, it is important to find a QA process that the can followed to ensure the fix has been applied correctly.
In this case, we can confirm the patch has been applied correctly by ensuring we can get past the “Payment” validation section of checkout. We can use a testing credit card number for this – Authorize.NET lists a couple. If the patch has not been applied correctly, we’ll see an error like the following.
If everything is OK, we’ll get past Magento’s validation and the transaction will be sent off to the payment gateway.
How quickly does this change need to be rolled out?
Sometimes, these types of changes need to be applied very quickly. For example, when the shoplift vulnerability was announced, SD worked to get its client base patched as quickly as possible.
In the case of the Mastercard 2-Series, there was roughly a one month window over which SD could review and roll out the patch.
We’d love to tell you more or answer any question you have about Mastercard 2-Series compatibility, or our process in general. Contact us if you’d like to hear more. We’re looking forward to hearing from you! | 2019-04-25T11:45:46 | https://www.somethingdigital.com/blog/rolling-out-mastercard-2-series-compatibility-at-sd-part-2/ |
Automatic Payments can be processed at any time during each business day. If a payment to a non ASB account falls on a weekend or public holiday, we will send the payment on the next business day. If your payment is to another ASB account, it will be processed on the day regardless of whether it is the weekend or not. If there’s not enough money in the account, we’ll try the payment again in the evening. | 2019-04-21T06:53:01 | https://www.asb.co.nz/help/automatic-payments-processing-times.html |

August 2017 – In Greece with our UK bank cards, we requested €150 cash out at an ATM. The bank exchange rate was going to cost us around £151 and the local exchange rate was around £135. That’s an extra £16! No thanks. Local exchange rate please.
Another example during the same seven day trip was a £147 bank exchange rate for a €150 cash withdrawal. Notice in the picture they don’t tell you how much the local exchange rate (without conversion) will be? Sneaky buggers.
July 2017 – In Italy with our same UK bank cards, we requested €200 cash out at an ATM. The bank exchange rate was going to cost us around £195 and the local exchange rate was closer to £170. Can you believe it? You can avoid extra bank charges of up to £25 in just one transaction! And that doesn’t even include the other fees associated with getting cash out overseas!
The best way to check before hitting the big green money please button is to download a currency conversion app on your smartphone and do the sums yourself. Otherwise your laziness could get expensive!
Moral of the story? Do your research, don’t let the banks scare you and you can save yourself some serious cash.

Machine telegraphy started with the 5-unit code system and worked very well. However, the matching of the sending and receiving mechanism was very critical. To overcome this difficulty the start-stop principle was introduced in machine telegraphy.
In the start-stop principle, for each character the transmitter automatically. Prefixes the group of code elements with a start signal and terminates with a stop signal. Before any character is sent, a start (space) signal of 20 ms duration is transmitted which shows the start of a character. Then the five code signals, each of 20 ms duration (100 ms) are transmitted which is followed by a-slop (mark) signal of 30 ms duration, showing-the end of a character.
The synchronization of the transmitter and receiver need only to be for the duration of one character. The length of the stop signal is 1.5 times (20 ms x 1.5 30 ms) that of the other units, to allow the receiving mechanism to identify it in the case of continuous transmission. With this system, the minimum character duration as150 ms. most machines work at 50 baud, although newer machines can work at 75 baud, and electronic machines can work at 100 baud. The start-stop formal for the five-unit code is shown in the figure.
The machine telegraph uses the equal length code.
The synchronization of the sending and receiving mechanism is made with the help of start-stop signals.
The machine telegraphy is speedier and efficient.
In machine telegraphy a local record of the message can be Recorded on the paper as well as on perforated tape in the coded form.
With start-stop mechanism the machine can go out of synchronization for one character because each character is independent the previous one.
In machine telegraphy any disturbance on line upsets me Synchronization.
The speeds of transmitter and receiver are be kept with Close limits.
Speed of signal transmission through manual means is limited by Speed keyboard speration by the operator.
The transmission media also introduces some amount of distortions. | 2019-04-23T23:53:48 | https://www.daenotes.com/electronics/communication-system/machine-telegraphy |

Les Beaucamps school in Guernsey is currently being considered as one of the potential sites for the States' two-school model of secondary education.
The island's new President of Education, Deputy Matt Fallaize, said that with the purchase of additional land, it's being looked at as an option.
He also said Le Mare De Carteret and St Sampson's High School could be used.
His comments came in response to a question put to him by a sixth form student from Guernsey Grammar School.
Earlier this week, pupils quizzed politicians in a forum designed to engage young people about the workings of the government. | 2019-04-20T08:53:10 | https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2018-02-17/les-beaucamps-potential-site-for-two-school-model/ |
Ebenezer Paintsil defended his doctoral thesis about information security on Thursday 12th of September.
Ebenezer Paintsil is associated to NISlab (Norwegian Information Security laboratory) at Gjøvik University College. Title of the dissertation: Privacy and Security Risks Analysis of Identity Management Systems.
He is the first student affiliated with the Norwegian COINS Research School of Computer and Information Security that graduates with a Ph.D. degree.
The thesis develops a risk model and model-based risk analysis method for privacy and security risks analysis of identity management systems (IDMSs) in order to reduce cost and provide scientific support for the choice of identity management approaches. Model-based risk analysis methods can assist system stakeholders in understanding a risk analysis process because of their effective use of graphical models to facilitate participation, risk communication and documentation. These graphical risk models communicate what can go wrong in a system and assist in the security risk analysis.
This thesis develops a balanced approach to risk analysis where systems’ characteristics and tools that hide complex mathematics are relied upon to analyze privacy and security risks in IDMSs. It provides new knowledge on how to develop risk models for IDMSs from the characteristics of information that flow in them. | 2019-04-20T20:00:59 | https://coinsrs.no/doctoral-dissertation-ebenezer-paintsil/ |
Oh. Heh, I guess that blows that theory. My newspaper reading didn't start until all those evening papers, and the Post, had disappeared, although I do remember the Evening Globe for a few years.

1. Government Approvals: will the local authorities let you build it?
2. Environmental Impact: what will it do to the surrounding area?
3. Financing: can you pay for it?
4. Feasibility Analysis: if you build it, will they come?
We now move into Phase 3: The Doing Period, which begins with Production and Event Fabrication. In this stage, coordination is critical between Create design and project team, the fabricators, the general contractor, and the specialty subcontractors (audio-visual hardware, rides, media and lighting). Close adherence must be paid to the schedule and the budget so that neither deviates from its intended target.
Depending on the scale of the project, prototyping is likely to occur at this stage. These prototypes can range from small-scale models to full-scale mock-ups of critical and/or complicated components. For children’s events, interactives are often “kid-tested” to make sure they properly engage the project’s little visitors. For theme park projects for example, rides undergo vigorous testing and approvals by various engineering authorities. Once the prototypes are approved by us and you, the exhibits, rides and/or attractions then move to event fabrication.
Media production also takes place during this stage, beginning with appointment of the producer and proceeding through storyboarding, pre-vis, production and post-production.
The fabrication, AV, ride, lighting and media components are usually constructed off-site, so they will need to be shipped to the project location. Before they can be installed into your facility, the bulk of the building works (structural, mechanical and electrical) must be complete. At the very least, the site will need to be climate and humidity controlled, dust-free and have clean power (i.e., a continuous power stream isolated from the building’s power supply) so that electrical equipment can properly function. We will provide on-site supervision during the installation, testing and commissioning processes, and our art director will ensure that the design integrity is maintained through the event fabrication, installation and opening.
So, your various components have been fabricated, shipped, cleared through customs and installed in your exhibit-ready building. Congratulations! You have now completed the Doing Period and now begins the event introduction and the “unveiling” of your finished event or attraction to the public and the media. | 2019-04-18T18:32:44 | https://www.create-uae.com/blog/the-doing-phase-as-a-crucial-part-of-your-project-development-fabrication-installation/ |
I have given a list of sins from the New Testament on another page. If you would like to see the list, this is the link: "Names of Sins". One of these sins may stop us from inheriting the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ has accused the religious leadership of that day for preventing people from entering the kingdom of God. Present day these accusations can be exactly imposed on the church leadership, bishops, pastors, evangelists, and others, for leading the congregation or their followers away from inheriting the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ has put it in Matthew 23 the entire status of religious (Christian) leaders explicitly. You may read the entire chapter. Let me quote one verse from it, and a few more.
"Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." That is, the pastors and evangelists are those who prevent the people from going to heaven. "Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." If we don't humble ourselves, we cannot enter heaven. "John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Reference link is: "Born of water".
It is important to know these scripture verses in order to escape from the deceptions of preachers. "1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." They were about to go to hell. But they escaped. You can also escape. "Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them." Look at all verses, and don't fail to look at verse 6. It says not to be deceived by the preachers. They say that as long as you are part of the church, sing songs and pray, you will go to heaven. That is a lie. Obey what God is telling us in the Bible. Obey what Jesus Christ says, to inherit the kingdom of heaven. | 2019-04-23T20:46:58 | http://truegospel.com/sinskingdom-m.html |
Sammic has equipped its new front-loading dishwashers with a 1 horsepower wash pump to increase cleaning power.
The increased horsepower will feature in models X-51, S-51, X-61 and S-61, evolving from their predecessors the X-50, S-50, X-60 and S-60 respectively.
The step was taken to ensure the manufacturer could meet the increasing demands of commercial users in the industry.
Despite the increased power in the S-51 and X-51 models from 370W/0.5 HP to 750W/1HP, the selling price of both models remains the same.
However, in response to market demand, in the models S-61 and X-61, the upper filters of the drum are now optional meaning in Sammic can offer a model with an improved wash pump at a more competitive price. | 2019-04-19T15:12:20 | https://www.cateringinsight.com/sammic-ramps-up-cleaning-power-with-new-dishwasher-range/ |
On the walking tour the presenters will take us through the five eras of note at the Vail Headquarters using existing buildings and features at the historic ranch site to demonstrate those eras.
We will walk on the Southern Emigrant Trail also known as the Butterfield Stage Trail. We will visit the Wolf Store adobe that was built in 1866. We will view cowboy bunkrooms and the foreman’s house from the Vail Ranch era and will tell the story of saving the ranch site and how all of the artifacts were collected.
The presenters will great us at the Vail Headquarters inside the front arch near Augies Coffee shop.
We will enjoy your pizza from Vail Pizzeria, an onsite business, after the walking tour in the old bunkhouse setting.
Renovation of the Vail Ranch Headquarters Site on the property east of Kohls in south Temecula is complete and a ribbon cutting on July 16, 2016 opened the site to the public. This site, recognized as a California historic site, also eligible for National Historic Registry status, underwent restoration according to the US Department of Interior Standards for Historic Renovation. Paperwork has been drafted to name it as a nationally recognized historic district upon completion.
After many years of handwringing, meetings, a 1998 lawsuit, negotiations, planning, discussions, more meetings, and then, finally, agreements, architectural plans were submitted for county approval and then to the City of Temecula Planning Department about 8 years ago, in 2009.
This was followed by a series of unfortunate events, including change of ownership three times. Each owner was responsible to complete restoration of the historical property and to keep the terms of the legal settlement with historic preservationists, the founders of the Vail Ranch Restoration Association (VaRRA). By the time Arteco, an historic architectural firm, took title to the property the economy tanked and loans were not available to complete the project, so the waiting game continued.
Finally about six years ago, in 2011, Arteco began renovation on the Wolf Store. Since then, they completed work on the rest of the property. Deep trenching, underground work for sewer, fire hydrants, waterline, gas lines, electricity, cable, water drainage, collection of water runoff, and grease traps for future restaurants on the property was all completed.
VaRRA is in the planning and staging phase for historic displays positioned to depict past occupants and usage of the areas. A vintage 1875 hotel room is already completed in a south room of the Wolf Store. An outdoor blacksmith pavilion is planned for live blacksmith demonstrations. VaRRA also plans a display of typical cowboy bunkrooms in the old bunkhouse.
This historical district has received some interest from potential business owners. Augie’s gourmet coffee roasters will share the Wolf Store with A la Minute ice cream vendors. A deli may be going into the bunkhouse. Perhaps a saddle shop will go into the replica of the Mule Barn. There may be a garden behind to supply produce for the restaurants. Vail Pizzeria has opened their doors, serving wonderful pizza. There are a lot of interesting possibilities for this community area that centers around the old Butterfield Trail that transverses the property.
Everyone is invited to come to the property on Sunday afternoons for Family Fun Days. There is a Farmers Market on Tuesdays.
When people band together to work for a common good, projects like this come together.
Speakers’ Bios: Darell and Rebecca Farnbach are the go-to people when you want to know about the history of the Temecula Valley. There was no historical society in the valley when a significant heritage site faced demolition in 1998, so Darell and Rebecca and some other interested friends took it upon themselves to champion the property’s preservation. After learning so much about Temecula history during preparation of their legal case, done without an attorney, they have been instrumental in chartering the Temecula Valley Historical Society, Rebecca has co-authored six books about local history, and Darell is a commissioner on the Riverside County Historic Commission.
Rebecca Farnbach was born, raised and educated in Iowa before coming to Southern California as an adult. She has worked in the eye care field for 38 years, starting as a medical and surgical assistant and presently works an optician at the Temecula LensCrafters. As an advocate for the needy, Rebecca has gone on many eye care missions in Mexico, Central America and to Ecuador. Rebecca chairs the Lions Club sight and hearing charities for the region. She is also a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in the San Diego Old Town Gazette, The Californian, Country Review magazine and many other local publications. Rebecca has received numerous writing awards including the San Diego Christian Writers Guild “Writer of the Year”. Eighteen years ago Rebecca started a writers’ critique group that is still thriving and has produced over seventy books.
Darell Farnbach is a fourth generation Californian and has lived in various locations the length and breadth of the state. He has been a hairdresser for over forty years. He served as a typist for the US Army in Germany during the 1960s. His real passions are cars and history. Darell is a hands-on type restoration guy, whether with hair, antiques, cars or artifacts. When Darell teaches third-graders about California’s mission era, he dresses like a ranger and supervises the students digging in mud to form adobe bricks. He has collected, restored, and set up artifact displays in the Little Temecula History Center, a rustic museum a few paces from the historic site he helped to save. He is presently putting finishing touches on the restoration of an 1860s Brougham coach.
Each Sunday afternoon Darell is at the Little Temecula History Center greeting visitors and answering questions about history.

Throughout this summer’s Olympic games, the eyes of the world were on China. Given the resulting media coverage of the past few months, Westerners may collectively know more about China—from the Great Wall just north of Beijing to great restaurants in central Beijing—than ever before. But that's not saying much. There's still considerable ignorance about this enormous nation with its history and strong culture, partly because it has gone through some long periods of isolationism.
Today is a good time to become more educated about China, given its increased openness to foreign investors and multinational joint ventures. There are, after all, significant costs associated with misinformed expectations and opinions. U.S. businesses report, for example, that they damage their ability to hire and retain employees when they fail to understand the values and attitudes of Chinese workers (King-Metters & Metters, 2008).
For those planning to work or travel in China, learning to read the culture correctly is a worthwhile investment (Von Weltzien Hoivik, 2007). This learning is often impeded by false assumptions and stereotypes. The following is a list of key points companies may want to consider before venturing into the Middle Kingdom.
1. Revise dated impressions about Chinese workers and what motivates them. New research throws a monkey wrench into beliefs such as "Chinese workers are motivated only by money" or "Chinese have no loyalty to their employer." Not so, says one large-scale study. With fewer opportunities to be part of a group, many Chinese workers look to their employers to fill the void once filled by family, government, religion and neighbors. Increasingly, they want to be part of a team they can take pride in (King-Metters & Metters, 2008).
2. Understand how devastating it is for a Chinese worker to lose face. It is not an overstatement to say that the fear of losing face permeates Chinese society (Cardon, 2006). When Chinese lose face to Westerners, the result is often business disruption and loss of goodwill. So, how do Americans unknowingly create these negative emotions? Oftentimes, by losing their temper and blaming a Chinese worker in front of others.
"Westerners show up in China, their surroundings are new, they're having some anxiety, and then there's a problem. They lose their temper and blame people in front of others. Those people who are criticized will never be friends with the Westerners" (Cardon, 2006, p. 441).
3. Be patient in developing trust in business relationships. First-time negotiations with a Chinese partner often end in failure because of the length of time it takes to "come to the point" (Von Weltzien Hoivik, 2007). The Chinese need to determine whether or not the partner is reliable and trustworthy before any negotiations can take place. The good news is that once a strong relationship is in place, then Chinese professionals are more likely to feel morally obligated to do business together.
4. Know which traditions have the strongest impact. While most Americans associate the Chinese with Buddhist traditions, it is Confucian principles that have the strongest impact on culture and work values (Jaw et al., 2007). Confucian thinking elevates thriftiness, perseverance, self-control and respect for authority as desirable personal goals. These values are played out in the workplace by employees who avoid wastefulness, refrain from telling a boss that a job cannot be done, fail to ask for immediate compensation, and choose to work on a cooperative—although potentially less-productive—team. While not every part of the country is equally steeped in Confucian traditions, it pays to realize that these behaviors are rooted in long-held values and would be difficult to change.
5. Keep in mind the complex ways in which you might be viewed. "The greatest threat facing the success of American corporations in China is the manner in which Chinese citizens view foreign businesspeople" (Lin & Lin, 2008). America is a nation of immigrants. We believe we are showing the best of our country when a young man from the Sudan, a U.S. citizen of only about a year and a half, carries the torch for the Olympic athletes at the opening ceremonies. Yet as much as foreigners have become a fixture in the Chinese business landscape, they are still considered "outsiders" to large segments of the Chinese public (Shelton, 2008). Sometimes, there is downright hostility directed toward foreigners, whom the Chinese believe strong-armed their way into China over the past 200 years, exploited resources and imposed the trading of opium. It is therefore wise to have an appreciation of recent Chinese history, if not the whole 5,000 years, before entering into negotiations and agreements with the Chinese.
6. Don't be surprised at the difficulty of finding highly skilled workers in certain industries. The McKinsey Quarterly reports that the growing need for talent in China - especially managers—is a looming challenge facing both multinationals and locally owned businesses (Lane & Pollner, 2008). In fact, 37% of U.S.-owned enterprises there report that recruiting desirable talent was their biggest operational problem. Companies that succeed in managing talent concerns in China have "both a sophisticated external-recruiting machine and an internal-development and training program adapted to the local Chinese environment" (Lane & Pollner, 2008). One of the most difficult areas to hire for currently is HR. Lin and Lin (2008) write that because only a small number of people have more than a decade of HR experience in China, any knowledge is a hot commodity at the moment.
7. Remember the respect that many Chinese have for symbols and omens. In the U.S. and some other Western nations, it's often viewed as unprofessional to make workplace decisions based on the position of the stars, the month of someone's birth or other such omens. In China, however, these symbols are thoroughly embedded into both personal and professional life. It was no mistake that the Olympics began on the eighth day of the eighth month in 2008 at 8:00 p.m. Though U.S. business people may never put as much stake in such ideas as do many Chinese, they should maintain an awareness of the historical importance and daily significance of these observances to avoid unnecessary obstacles.
While the seven tips presented here won't guarantee anybody a successful joint venture or business trip in China, they can help most Westerners become familiar with some of China's most influential cultural norms.

On 19th December 2018, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has published the Updated Guidance on Regulating chemicals (REACH) if there’s no Brexit deal’. This Guidance explains how businesses producing, registering, importing or exporting chemicals would be affected if the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 with no deal.
In the unlikely event of a no deal, the UK Government would ensure UK legislation replaces EU legislation via the EU Withdrawal Act, establish a UK regulatory framework and build domestic capacity to deliver the functions currently performed by ECHA. The legislation would preserve REACH as far as possible, while making technical changes that would need to be made because the UK has left the EU.
If UK will leave the EU without a deal, companies with substances registered under REACH would no longer be able to sell into the EEA market without transferring their registrations to an EEA-based organisation.UK downstream users currently importing chemicals from an EEA country would face new registration requirements according to the Guidance. Under Britain’s replacement for REACH, importers would have a duty to register chemicals. Similarly UK downstream users of authorisations would no longer be able to rely on authorisation decisions addressed to companies in the remaining EEA countries.
carry into the UK system all existing authorisations to continue using higher-risk chemicals held by UK companies.
importing businesses would be responsible for identifying appropriate risk management measures and recommending them to their customers.
UK companies with existing REACH registrations wishing to maintain EEA market access would need to refer to guidance on the ECHA website on the steps they would need to take. Existing UK registrants would, for example, need to transfer their registrations to an appropriate EEA-based entity (such as an affiliate or an OR) or develop new working relationships with their EEA customers. This would require action before the UK leaves the EU.
UK companies wishing to register new chemicals for the EEA market after the UK leaves the EU would need to register those with ECHA as they do now, but would need to do so via their EU customers or an OR. Further guidance on how to do this can be found on the ECHA website.
Guidance – Regulating chemicals (REACH) if there’s no Brexit deal, updated on the Government webpage on 19th Dec 2018.

This Saturday was the New England Yoga Championships. I went into the Championships a little hesitant...I wasn't sure what to expect exactly. I was afraid it would cheapen the art of practice, that it would destroy the art of staying on your mat, of calming your mind. I am happy to report that the Championships in no way hurt yoga and in fact, I am glad I went.
The Championships did not feel competitive at all. Here is the deal - though there are certainly talented yogi/nis in the Championship, there are also competitors who are doing it for themselves. There was one woman who previously had back surgery for three herniated discs and, through yoga, had managed her back pain and had gotten completely off pain killers. She was competing because she could, because she was thankful for yoga. There were numerous competitors that were clearly there for themselves - not to prove that they are better than anyone else, but to challenge themselves. In fact, it is encouraged for yogi/nis of all levels to compete, to get on stage and challenge themselves. There were some super yoginis up there, yes. But there was also an array of body types and personalities. As far as 'sports' and 'chamionships' go, it made me proud to be a yogini. | 2019-04-24T18:02:19 | http://runliftchantbreathe.blogspot.com/2010/10/yoga-championships.html |

Missing body parts. A maniac? Bandits?
Will Clyde Mullican and Annie Ashley be able to find and return their heads, torsos, arms and legs? We'll discover this as soon as possible.
Lack of body parts can be a serious impediment to victory. If a character doesn't have a head, he or she won't be able to eat, so he or she won't be able to improve their health. The hand of the starting mannequin will be enough to hold a rifle, but without their own trained muscles they won’t be able to pull up and skilfully jump over a fence directly on to the head of an unsuspecting opponent... if, of course, they have a head.
Native body parts will not only provide the characters with basic functions, but also improve their characteristics. Iron Clyde rolls will increase the protection of the hero, and his calm head will not panic and stay alive longer outside the narrowing zone. Annie's experienced diver's body will allow her to stay underwater longer, her dexterous left hand will speed up recharging, and her strong right fingers will reduce the recoil from a shot.
A total of 14 body parts (7 men's and 7 women's) are available in the game. They can be combined in any way within the standard set: two arms, two legs, head, torso and pelvis. | 2019-04-23T02:04:21 | https://gameroyale.net/en/news/show/62-missing-body-parts-a-maniac-bandits-en/ |

With the Fourth Pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the Colorado Avalanche Have Selected Cale Makar From the Brooks Bandits in the AJHL.
The second defenseman off the board, Cale Makar is one of the more well-rounded players in the entire draft. A solid defender who excels with the puck on his stick, Makar is a difference maker offensively. His play is tremendous in all three zones and there is very little risk for the Avalanche coming out of the draft with a prospect as good as Makar. It’s unclear when Makar will make his debut, but he has a chance to make a huge impact from the second he makes his debut in the NHL.
A year ago, you could be forgiven if you had never heard of Brooks Bandits defenseman Cale Makar. Last season, Makar was a very good player in one of Canada’s top junior A leagues, the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He was one of the league’s leading defensemen. This season, he’s taken another step and has emerged as an elite player in the AJHL and one of the most talked-about defensemen in the entire 2017 NHL Draft class.
If there are two words to describe Makar’s game, they would be “speed” and “skill.” Makar is a very good skater. He frequently can use his acceleration and maneuverability to go from the right point to the net-front area in short order, which allows him to generate a lot of high-quality scoring chances. His skating ability also affords him the ability to leap into the rush frequently, as he’s mobile enough to rush back to help break up offensive rushes that go the other way. Makar’s skating ability alone makes him a very tantalizing prospect in the 2017 class.
Combine Makar’s excellent skating with his puck-handling skills, though, and he becomes very intriguing. Part of Makar’s leap up the various draft rankings has come from his uptick in production. He’s scoring at a higher rate than he was last season – over a point-per-game pace, as a defenseman – and has followed up a season when he was one of the best offensive players in the AJHL with one where he’s one of the best offensive players in all of Canadian junior A hockey. He is flat-out one of the most dynamic offensive threats in his level of hockey and age group.
The obvious question mark about Makar is regarding the level of opposition in the AJHL. He’s been dominating the league, but the perception of junior A hockey is that is a mixture of players that aren’t quite good enough to play in major junior and players that are avoiding major junior due to having collegiate aspirations. While the AJHL (and junior A in general) aren’t quite up to the level of the major junior leagues, players that are dominant at that level would be at least very good major junior players. Makar’s also not a massive physical specimen – he’s a fairly skinny 5’11” – and it’s not like he’s a big kid bowling over junior A players. He’s a very good hockey player, but the lack of head-to-head meetings between him and other 2017 prospects might hurt his draft standing relative to the rest of the field due to those minor qualms about the quality of junior A.
In the past decade, just eight players have been drafted from a junior A league in the first round. Only two of them – Tyson Jost in 2016 and Kyle Turris in 2007 – have been drafted in the top 10. Makar has turned a lot of heads and generated a lot of buzz with his dominance of the AJHL this past season. He may be the first defenseman selected in the draft, given his surge up most rankings and some injuries to Swedish blueliner Timothy Liljegren. Makar is a tantalizing prospect whose team will be able to be patient with from a developmental stance, as he’s headed to the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) next season. Based on his progress over the past couple of seasons, he’ll likely be worth the wait.
The Colorado Avalanche are coming off of one of the worst seasons in the history of the NHL. As such, an impactful player like Makar is exactly what the Avalanche need moving forward. Though Makar isn’t likely to make his debut in the 2017-18 season, he won’t have to as the Avalanche are in a full rebuild right now. With young pieces like Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and others already in place, Makar has a chance to join a group of very talented, young players. | 2019-04-20T04:37:21 | https://thehockeywriters.com/2017-nhl-draft-avalanche-pick-cale-makar-4-overall/ |

Fashion Revolution Day – what is it all about?
Today is the Fashion Revolution Day to mark the second anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster that killed 1133 garment makers in one factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. A further 2500 were injured.
As a global movement uniting around an annual campaign, Fashion Revolution believes that over the next five years we will build considerable momentum and achieve incredible impact together. I really hope it will, and I will support the movement as best as I can.
I am attending a few events and discussions today and will have a go at amending and upcycling clothes in east London. I will also be running a series of free clothes upcycling and repairing workshops in south-east London, starting Thu 30th May. More details to follow on the Fash Rev website, hope to see you there!
It will be a busy day of clothes swapping parties, discussions on the true cost of fashion and the future of sustainable fashion, photo shoots in t-shirts with “Who made my clothes” slogan on them, events in schools, clothes upcycling workshops and many others – full list here. There are also numerous ways everyone can get involved and promote it on social media – all assets are free.
But let’s not forget that we wouldn’t have to have the Fashion Revolution Day today if we were not obsessed with fast fashion. The horrendous Rana Plaza disaster wouldn’t have happened.

I hear this constantly .. “I’m uncomfortable and find it hard to sell myself!” My initial response? Get into another line of work! And I’m only half kidding ..
I’m not being rude, I am being a realist. In order to get speaking gigs, you are the one who has to reach out to prospects and convince them you can make a difference in their business.
Another question I’m often asked – “Doesn’t it sound better if I’m not the one making the call?” In a word, no. And I think it’s a cop out if this is your thinking. You are the one with the intellectual property. You know how to talk about your information better than anyone else. That said if you hire someone to make calls on your behalf, you still must be the BEST at doing it!
A reality in speaking businesses is that staff comes and goes. It’s a revolving door. Ask any veteran who has had staff and they will agree with me – they may not like it – but they’ll agree with me. I’m not going to go into why this is, that’s another post!
You must always be the best at selling your programs because you are the constant in your own business. The closer the client can get to the speaker the better. If you have staff doing outbound marketing, they must always let the prospect know that you are happy and anxious to talk with them and answer specifics about your program.
So, I’m still uncomfortable selling myself. What can I do? You can review earlier blog posts that I’ve written on selling, positioning, qualifying and practice technique. You can hire me to help you do it! (My favorite!) Another option that works well and I always suggest when I work with speakers – shift your thinking.
Clients hire us to “move the needle” in their organization in some way.
What would it look like if ..
Would it make sense to ..
In a nutshell, you need to do everything and anything you can to make yourself not only comfortable, but terrific at selling!
The bad news? It’s up to you. The good news? It’s up to you. Happy selling!
You are in an intellectual property business, and you must do whatever you have to do to protect your ownership of your own property. Therefore, I suggest that you always be prepared for this situation. How to do it?
Carry a taping agreement with you at all times. Put down a few restrictions on your letterhead and have it with you when you travel. Now, I’m not an attorney, but here is what I suggest you may want to include on a simple, non lawyer-type agreement.
Client to provide you with a master copy of the film within ten days.
Film may be viewed by employees of group that hired you only. No one else.
Film may be used in house for a period of a year, 3 months, 6 months (or whatever).
Film may be used by you as a marketing piece, product, to advertise, or in any way you wish to use it.
Simple? Yes! I want it to be simple and not seem too off-putting to your client.
Would it make a good video or digital product?
Would it make a good audio product?
Could you pull out clips that could be used to promote yourself on your website or on YouTube?
I think product is a terrific thing! Nothing like turning your computer to find that people have ordered products on your website! Love it!
Further, these days you really need to be in the product business. The days of using merely speaking for income are pretty much gone.
So, be prepared! If you are, you will protect your rights and you may even make extra profit by having an agreement. At the very least, you will be positioning yourself as a professional!
One of the best opportunities in the speaking business can be presenting at national associations. They can be challenging to obtain as well as frustrating, but worth the work.
Everyone in the audience may be a prospect for your presentation, products and ancillary services. If you target market, association business can add a real momentum to your sales and marketing.
You can always Google and find associations in your target, you can even buy into lists. Note: you don’t have to buy into an association list to find prospects. In fact, I suggest you save your money and search online.
I call my approach to selling to associations the “Backdoor Method”. Here’s my process.
Ask each private corporate client or business what associations they belong to. You’ll be amazed. Most belong to several associations. If you’re a fit for your client, you’ll be a fit for their association. Here’s how to do the “Backdoor Method”.
After every program, ask you client what associations they belong to.
Ask if your contact if they would be willing to be an advocate for you and email information directly to the association program committee. By information, I mean the information that you would send to a committee. Typically this would be a great one sheet, bio, high resolution photo and a link to some video of you speaking.
Ask your advocate to share that you recently worked with them and did a great job and would like the committee to consider giving you a slot at their annual meeting.
See if there is anyone you should follow up with. Note: typically there isn’t. This is why this market can be frustrating. If they’re interested or need more information, they’ll let you know. If they aren’t interested you’ll hear nothing. Further, if you want to be considered the following year you need to do this exercise all over again since they get rid of information each year.
Of course there are other ways to approach national associations. See my blog post, “Lets Play the Association Game” http://bookmorebusiness.com/blog/time-to-play-the-association-game/.
I hope you’ll give the Backdoor Method a try. Let me know how it works for you!
The speaking industry, like others, is facing constant change. How you as a speaker can adapt to that change will dictate your success. Here are some things to think about.
AMEX meetings and events outlook for 2018 – “The report is largely optimistic about the state of the meetings industry, noting that attendance continues to grow—especially in North America, where conference and tradeshow attendee levels are anticipated to increase by 1.8 percent in 2018.
Travel professionals are putting an emphasis on the fact that female business travelers face unique risks while traveling compared to their male counterparts. It will be interesting to see this addressed.
What we know are that clients are seeking more interactive programs. They are asking speakers to use their social media channels to publicize meetings. Virtual programs continue to have a role but don’t seem to be replacing in person gatherings.
What does the above mean for you? It means that content reigns. Purely motivational or inspirational fluff will not make it. Many of you have heard me say that you need to describe your programs as “high content, motivational in style and tone” if you insist on the “M” word. If you do, “motivational” becomes a style choice, not a content choice.
This means if the outcome of your program affects one of the above, you’re more likely to be hired. You’re also more likely to be hired if you can offer clients information, tactics, techniques and strategies that can be applied immediately. Clients basically hire you to create a change in behavior.
The economy is good, but shaky. Many corporations are making record profits. Many feel uncertainty may lead to a recession in 18 months or so. We’ll see. However, lead times will still be short. Clients have a “wait and see” attitude when hiring outside experts. They wait to ensure they are addressing current concerns, so they drag their feet and wait until the last minute.
What does this mean for you? It means that even if your calendar looks lean now, things can change quickly. It also means we better be good stewards of our money or we won’t have a business.
A personal thought. My hope is that awareness about the lack of diversity on platforms continues to grow. People who make decisions need to make sure their platform reflects the audience makeup. More women, more people of color.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed, our calendars open, and our negotiation skills keen!
The speaking industry, like others, is facing constant change. How you as a speaker can adapt to that change will dictate your success. Here are some things to be aware of.

Thirteen mini-ferments on the go!
A few weeks ago I brewed a Blonde ale. This batch was slightly oversized, in order to give me enough wort to do a series of mini ferments in beer bottles, using a selection of the yeasts isolated in my first wild yeast hunt. The goal was simple – to brew a light beer that would let the yeast characteristics dominate, while at the same time producing a beer that would act as both a flavour control, and as a lawnmower beer to get me through the beginning of August.
I selected about half of the 25 strains of yeast I isolated as part of my first wild yeast hunt, and grew up 1ml mini-starters, using 1.040 wort (no hops) and a shaker set at 32C. These ‘starters’ were then stored in a fridge for a few days until I could brew the Droit du seigneur Blonde; a low-hop (17IBU), modest-gravity (1.044) ale. I brewed an extra 5L of this beer, in order to give enough volume to setup 13 100ml mini-ferments, which were inoculated with the mini-starters. A month later I ran a flavour testing series, to see what these wild yeasts had produced. A month may seem like a long time, but since wild yeasts can sometimes be slow, a month gives a long enough ferment for even the slowest of yeasts to ferment to completion.
I did not get any particularly stellar yeasts out of this – about half were oxidative yeasts and barely reduced the gravity of the beer. I was more successful than I had expected – finding four strains with potential. But what really came out of this project is a usable method. SWMBO’d has a garden full of veggies right now all of them covered in local wild yeast!
All the nitty gritty below the fold.
While I ended up with 25 strains of yeast, I didn’t test all of them – both because the strains from the earlier days are unlikely to be fermentative (indeed, no drop in gravity was observed until after day 10), and because many of the strains appeared to be similar in terms of their colony and micrograph morphology. As such, I tried to pick a series of samples which were representative of the yeasts from each sample day, with an emphasis on yeasts from the later days as these later-arising yeasts are the most likely to be of interest. As such, I took one each of the small mucoid, medium powdery, and large mucoid from day 4, colonies #1 & #3 from both day 10 and day 20, and all six strains from day 30.
Yeasts are temporarily named by date, colony type (day 4 only) and their isolation number. I.E. D04SM-1 = day 4, small mucoid, colony #1. D10-3 is day 10, colony 3. I’ll give real names to anything good.
For each strain I am noting the bottle appearance,appearance in the sample glass, aroma, taste, final gravity (FG) of the wort, apparent attenuation (Ap. Atten.), and notes on anything else of interest. All samples – including the ‘control’ glass of Droit du seigneur Blonde (fermented with the very neutral US-05) are being drunk warm (room temperature) and uncarbonated. This brings out the taste of the sample – which, as you’ll soon see – is not always a good thing!
Interesting yeasts are highlighted in yellow, otherwise “notable” ones are highlighted in blue.
D20-1 Fluffy yeast-cake Highly cloudy Unpleasant, fungal sour/estery 1.036 18% Minimal ferment, surprisingly not bad taste.
D30-1 Compact cake Mild cloudiness Fruity esters Dry, astringent, bitter 1.002 95% Highly attenuation, but unpleasant. May work as a co-fermenter with ageing.
D30-4T Thin cake Cloudy Yeast & medicinal (phenolic) Mouldy/mousy 1.036 18% Tastes like Bret, but was minimally fermentative.
D30-5T Cotton-ball yeast cake Mild cloudiness Mouldy Sickingly sweet, horrendous flavour notes 1.040 9% Nasty, flavour outside of what I can find words for.
These are strains which are sufficiently attenuating to be used as the sole organisms in a brew.
D30-6T: Medicinal phenolics, esters and highly attenuating. Ma be Brettanomyces.
D30-1: Lots of fruity esters, attenuates strongly but produces an astringent finish.
These are strains with interesting taste profiles, but which lack the attenuation to be used as the sole strain in a fermentation.
D10-3: Ale-like esters, but minimal attenuation. May work as a co-fermenter, but its hard to conceive of a place where it could be used in place of a real ale yeast.
Very cool stuff. You're brave, tasting some of those!
Interesting results from your hunt. Keep up the good work. | 2019-04-22T10:01:30 | http://suigenerisbrewing.com/index.php/2013/08/05/results-first-wild-yeast-hunt/ |
CHESAPEAKE, Va. - February 24, 2010 - Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), the nation's leading operator of discount variety stores selling everything for $1 or less, reported earnings per diluted share of $1.52, for the quarter ended January 30, 2010 ("fourth quarter"), an increase of 32.2% compared to the $1.15 earnings per diluted share reported for the quarter ended January 31, 2009. Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter were $1.56 billion, a 12.4% increase compared to $1.39 billion reported for the quarter ended January 31, 2009. Comparable-store sales increased 6.6% for the quarter.
"We are very pleased with our 4th quarter and full year 2009 financial performance," said President and CEO Bob Sasser. "Dollar Tree achieved record sales and earnings and I am especially proud of the significant improvements in our operating margin and inventory productivity. Customers like our convenient locations, friendly shopping environment and exciting merchandise value. In 2010, we expect continued positive results from our focus on merchandise productivity, keen management of supply chain and back office expenses and investment in initiatives and merchandise to thrill the customer. Dollar Tree is well positioned for continued growth."
Operating margin increased 210 basis points for the quarter to 14.0%. The improvement was driven by a 150 basis point increase in gross margin and a 60 basis point reduction in Selling, General and Administrative expenses.
During the fourth quarter 2009, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of its common stock for $38.5 million. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 4.3 million shares for $193.1 million. At the end of the fourth quarter, $260.6 million remain under the $500 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors.
For the year, sales totaled $5.23 billion, a 12.6% increase year-over-year, on a comparable store sales increase of 7.2%. Operating margin increased to 9.8% in 2009, from 7.9% one year ago. Diluted earnings per share were $3.56, an increase of 40.7% from diluted earnings per share of $2.53 in 2008.
The Company continues to grow. During the fourth quarter, Dollar Tree opened 7 stores, closed 4 stores, and expanded 1 store. For the year, the Company opened 240 new stores, closed 25 stores and expanded or relocated 75 stores. Retail selling square footage at fiscal year end was 32.3 million, a 6.6% increase compared to a year ago.
The Company uses the retail inventory method to assign cost to store inventories. Since inception, the Company has employed one inventory pool for this calculation. Effective January 31, 2010, the first day of fiscal 2010, the Company will use approximately 30 inventory pools in its retail inventory calculation. This change was made possible by the Company's investments in information systems. It will facilitate improved decision-making and further enhance our assortment planning process.
As a result of this change, in the first quarter 2010 the Company expects to record a non-recurring, non-cash charge to gross profit and a corresponding reduction in inventory, at cost, that is currently estimated at approximately $28 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. This impact accumulated over the 23-year history of the Company, and is included in our guidance. There will be no effect on prior periods related to this change in inventory accounting.
The Company estimates sales for the first quarter of 2010 to be in the range of $1.29 - $1.33 billion, based on positive low -to- mid single digit comparable store sales, and 6.3% square footage growth. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.57 to $0.65, including the aforementioned non-cash charge relating to the inventory accounting change. Absent this charge, earnings per diluted share for the first quarter 2010 would be expected to range from $0.77 to $0.85. The Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.66 for the first quarter 2009.
For the full year, the Company estimates sales will range from $5.59 - $5.76 billion. This estimate is based on a range of low -to -mid single digit positive comparable-store sales, and square footage growth of approximately 6.3% for the year. Fiscal year 2010 diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $3.76 to $4.03, including the non-cash charge relating to the inventory accounting change in the first quarter. Excluding the charge, earnings per diluted share for the full year 2010 would be expected to range from $3.96 to $4.23. These estimates assume no impact from potential additional share repurchase activity in 2010.
On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, the Company will host a conference call to discuss its earnings results at 9:00 a.m. EST. The telephone number for the call is 888-819-8015. A recorded version of the call will be available until midnight Wednesday, March 3, and may be accessed by dialing 888-203-1112, and the pass code is 1696485. International callers may dial 719-457-0820 and the pass code is 1696485. A webcast of the call will be accessible through Dollar Tree's website, www.dollartreeinfo.com/investors/news/events.
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company will announce financial results on the third Thursday following quarter end. Along with this change, quarterly net sales and comparable-store sales will be reported as part of the Company's quarterly financial results. The Company will no longer report quarterly net sales and comparable store sales in a separate press release.
Dollar Tree, a Fortune 500 Company, operated 3,806 stores in 48 states as of January 30, 2010, with total retail selling square footage of 32.3 million. To learn more about the Company, visit www.Dollartree.com.

Google Search Console Infrastructure Update - Will You Tell Us Everything Now?
Google is known for making updates to their tools quite often. Whether it is a new AdWords layout or a facelift for Google Analytics, they like to keep things fresh. The latest update to a tool is coming to Google Search Console. There is a massive infrastructure update happening on the back end of this necessary tool that will hopefully prove very helpful.
What does this revamp promise? That is where the problem lies: nobody really knows for sure. All Google has said in their data anomalies support thread is they are “performing infrastructure updates”. Many are hopeful they will allow us to see a whole year of data as opposed to the current 90-day limit, but that has been promised to us by Google themselves since 2010. We can only hope it is going to be an update that grants users more data.
As with all great things, a compromise must be made. Users worldwide are seeing massive inaccuracies in their Search Console data. This includes the data showing zero links coming to the site and more missing metrics. Google has said this should not impact the Search Analytics reports which show detailed information on what keywords are leading users to sites, click through rates, average positions, and impressions in search results.
We do not have an exact date on when this infrastructure update will be completed. All Google has said is that the update may prevent date logging on some of their reports “for the next few weeks” with timeline defined as “November 1, 2016 – Ongoing”. This means it could be completed and launched in a matter of days or could take most of the month to complete. Either way, we are very excited to see what happens with this Google Search Console infrastructure update. It could make a big impact on how we use the tool and present us with more data than we have ever had. It could also turn into a headache with no reward. As with many things Google related, only time will tell.

After thoughtful discussions with technical friends, I’ve concluded that vendors use this job title because it sounds impressive while also simplifying their processes by being generic. If all of your contractors/consultants are Solutions Architects or Senior Solutions Architects then you’re covered for all eventualities. Need an ERP systems implementer, project manager, or an applications developer that specializes in .NET or Java? – you are ensured of having the right staff available. It creates a mix and match environment because the consultancy does not tie itself to an individual, or job role.
I did a quick survey on dice.com using ‘Solutions Architect” as the search term. That search confirmed my perceptions and validated my thoughts. Of the top 10 positions that came up, 9 were for vendors or IT service providers. Although my observations are anecdotal and from a non-scientific survey, they do provide some insight into career implications of the Solutions Architect title.
If you want to continue to work for a consultancy then keeping the Solutions Architect title is fine. If, however, you are looking to make the transition from consultant to full-time employee then you need to start by examining your job title.
So what can you do when your title doesn’t accurately describe your role? Your official job title does need to be included on your resume for employment verification but that doesn’t mean that you’re stuck with a title that doesn’t represent what you actually do. Limiting yourself to that job title fails to tell the resume reader about your real experience. Worse yet, not having the right job title may exclude you from being selected for interviews. Here are some quick and easy ways to handle this situation.
Performed the role of IT Project Manager for large-scale ERP implementations for Fortune 500 companies.
3) You can also integrate your job roles into your bullet items.
As a Systems Developer, within one year reduced overall system support costs by 10-person months by implementing multiple Lean Six Sigma projects.
These examples will give you some ideas about how you can position yourself to accurately reflect what you’ve done. IT is notorious for having job titles that don’t accurately reflect what a person does so fine to correct that fallacy. | 2019-04-26T16:10:27 | https://www.technical-resumes.com/solutions-architects/ |
Everything is set in Vitoria for a great final of the Copa del Rey. It’s the last hurdle separating the team from their third Cup at the orders of Xavi Pascual and, perhaps best of all, the fourth Cup final in a row. It is the first time since the Cup has been organised in the current format that a team from the Endesa League has managed to do this. This Sunday (7 pm, TV3 and TVE), Barça can win the 23rd Cup in the Club’s illustrious history.
Valencia Basket have had to wait seven years since their last appearance in a Cup final. In 2006, they took on Tau Cerámica in Madrid but lost 80-85. Their last Cup success was in 1998 under legendary coach Miki Vukovic, when they overcame Joventut Badalona by 89-75 with wonderful performances from Nacho Rodilla, Tim Perry and Aaron Swinson. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
On the way to the final, the team coached by Perasovic made easy work in the quarterfinals of Asefa Estudiantes (77-59), while on Saturday they brushed aside Herbalife Gran Canaria 83-72. Despite not having a rest day, Persovic has been able to spread the load among his squad and take the pressure off his star players thanks to Valencia’s comfortable leads in both games.
Valencia Basket have an average of 10 three-pointers per game in this Cup campaign so the threat from outside the 6.75 line will be one for Barça to watch. Rafa Martínez and the unpredictable Thomas Kelati are the main danger men while former Manresa star Justin Doellman could also add to the threat.
At about 9 pm we’ll find out if Barça Regal can make it three Cups at the orders of Xavi Pascual and 23 in the history of FC Barcelona, thereby equalling the record held by Real Madrid. Just 40 minutes away from delighting basketball fans everywhere and continuing to build the Barça legend. Game on! | 2019-04-23T12:33:01 | https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/news/1144581/fcb-regal-v-valencia-basket-at-stake-the-3rd-copa-del-rey-under-pascual |
HVAC is made easier when you know certain things. If HVAC units interest you, then you should continue reading the article because you’ll find plenty of useful information. If you’re trying to start working on things like this, the below article can help.
If your HVAC doesn’t seem to be working properly, check things out yourself prior to calling in a technician. Make a list of the rooms which are comfortable and which just aren’t. This information will help the contractor determine where the problem is and how to fix it.
Understand what you want before talking to a contractor. You might not be able to get a price quote unless you let the contractor see your current system first. It will be way more hard if you can’t figure out what they need to do. So, figure out this information before anything else.
Clean the condenser on your debris regularly. You don’t know the amount of stuff that can pile up right after heavy winds or a storm. If you do not, the unit may get too hot and cause additional problems.
When you mow your lawn, take care that you don’t get grass clippings all over your outdoor unit. Aim the grass clippings in the other direction. The same thing should go on when you blow leaves, so take your time when you’re working around HVAC units that are around when you’re blowing debris around.
If you can choose the place where your outdoor compressor goes, pick a spot with lots of shade. When your unit takes in cool air, it takes less energy to tool the air, thus boosting efficiency.
If at all possible, install double-paned windows in your home instead of those with a single pane. To keep your home cool, investing in double pane windows is a must. Conversely, they keep warm air in during the winter.
Installing a programmable digital thermostat can help save money. If you adjust it to keep the house a little warmer or a little cooler during the time you are sleeping, you may see your energy bill go down by as much as ten percent. Some of these thermostats can even be controlled from your smart phone or computer.
Service your hearing and cooling systems once each year. When it’s checked out, the motor will be inspected, moving parts well oiled and the level of freon adjusted if necessary. This will help your system run better.
If nobody is home, turn off the air conditioner to save money. This will save you money on your energy bills. When you keep it on, you will be using electricity.
Never allow your home to get dangerously hot inside. Air conditioners can cool a home by just twenty degrees in a short time. If the temperature in your home reaches 100 degree Fahrenheit, it will only reduce it to 80 or more. You may suffer adverse effects from letting the house get that hot, too.
There are a lot of opportunities for hobbies you can do at your house, but many aren’t sure how to start. It’s important you find a hobby you enjoy and stick with it. Where should you start? Don’t worry, the article below has good tips that will show you what hobbies are worth pursuing.
When you are dealing with anxiety, a hobby can help you shift your mental focus. Your hobby doesn’t have to be a job, so pick something you aren’t skilled at and learn all you can.
Get out and relax with a hobby like fishing. Just find a quiet spot to fish and bring your gear. Then you need to make sure you’re allowed to fish in certain areas or if you need a permit. Once you begin fishing, you will see it’s a good way for you to get away from your too-busy day.
Photography is a wonderful hobby that no longer requires you to make a large investment. If you already own a camera and a tripod, that can be turned into a great hobby. Learn some photography skills to take great pictures.
Never let your hobby run your life. It’s good to enjoy a hobby, but you have to be sure you’re tending to your life as well. If activities related to your hobby are hindering other areas of your life, then it is time to reduce your involvement.
Sculpting is a relaxing hobby. Molding clay with your hands is a wonderful feeling, especially when you learn to produce extraordinary pieces. Do not attempt to sculpt on your own. Find a class so that you can learn the basics; invite a friend to join you as well.
Find out what you can learn online about your hobby. If your hobby is a special niche, you could possibly build a website that ranks highly in the SERPs. This will give you some extra money to put towards your hobby.
Show people what you have accomplished in your hobby. These little things can make your life special. Often, this includes your hobbies. Let others view what you follow, make, or collect. Allow them to fall in love with your hobby, too! It can open doors and spark new friendships.
Many people enjoy sewing. When you take up a hobby such as this, you can make home interior projects, such as curtains, pillows or quilts; or you can make clothing items, such as a new sundress, a shirt or a new pair of palazzo pants. Many people really find great joy in sewing.
Calligraphy can make your handwriting more interesting. You don’t require much to start, and there is something absolutely relaxing about the way your pen glides across the surface of the paper. Take a class, or work on learning it on your own. Either way, you’ll love the idea of changing your handwriting.
Meticulous attention to your garden is one of the primary tenets of the green gardening movement. This can be achieved by using smart, eco-savvy gardening techniques. By employing your knowledge you will be able to more efficiently and reliably produce healthy, tasty food. Follow the tips provided for a successful organic garden.
The quick and drastic change in the weather conditions can shock your plants and cause them to die. It’s important that you gradually change temperate conditions over time, so that your plants can adjust. Try to place them in the new area for a couple of hours at a time the first day. As the week progresses, gradually increase their exposure to the outdoors. When the week is done, your plants will be ready for the big move without any problems.
Starting a garden which is pest-free is easy, if you have healthy soil. The hearty plants that will grow in a garden with rich soil can resist the bugs and diseases that weak plants can’t withstand. To give your garden the best chance of yielding the healthiest plants, start with a high-quality soil that has fewer chemicals which over time will accumulate salts.
Try using climber plants to cover up your fences and walls. Climbing plants are known to be very versatile, and can help hide any ugly wall or fence, and this often only takes one growing season. They also work to cover up old, and possibly dead, vegetation. A number of climbers need to be attached to a support, but others just take care of their own attachments via tendrils and stems that twine. Trusted variations of climbers are honeysuckle, jasmine, clematis, wisteria and climbing roses.
Make sure to pre-soak seeds, preferably in a dark location. Place a couple of seeds in a tiny container, and fill it with water nearly to the top. This will allow your seeds to be hydrated and get a head start when growing. Seeds that are grown in this way have a higher survival and maturity rate.
Start your garden off right with seeds, not plants. When opening a garden, the most green method of beginning is from seed. Plastic used in nurseries normally end up in landfills. For an garden that helps the environment, plant seeds directly in the garden’s soil or purchase plants grown in organic packaging.
Fertilizing is an important step in preparing your garden soil. Manure can help your plants grow quickly, but you must use only commercially created products to reduce the chance of contracting pathogens. The options for fertilizing are vast and include environmentally sound choices, so no matter which you choose, just be sure to use one.
If you are gardening for the first time ever, read and follow all directions and instructions that come with your chemicals and tools. Irritation of the skin or even more serious injuries are possible if you ignore manufacturer’s directions. Protect yourself and follow all instructions. | 2019-04-19T16:52:34 | http://homercontractor.info/category/what-is/homeservice-club/ |
Goldman Sachs-backed Circle announced the launch of Circle Research on Wednesday, a new informational platform designed to provide insights into cryptocurrency assets and the larger market.
According to the announcement, Circle aims to reduce the noise associated with crypto information by providing investors with a trusted source of objective analysis.
“Reading dense and technical white papers, Twitter, Medium, Reddit and Telegram can be a good way to learn about crypto assets but requires a significant amount of time and might not lead to true insights,” said Ria Bhutoria in the announcement.
Circle has launched its Research platform with crypto asset primers on EOS, Cardano (ADA) and Qtum (QTUM), providing in-depth breakdowns that outline the key details, features, risks and challenges associated with each digital asset.
Circle Research is likely in response to similar products launched by major exchange competitors. San Francisco-based cryptocurrency giant Coinbase just launched Informational Asset Pages and Coinbase Learn, a new section of the website dedicated to educating people who are new to cryptocurrency and answering some of their basic questions.
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, also recently launched a beta version of Info 2.0, a learning portal designed to enable users to quickly learn about each blockchain project and the network and services it provides.
Information has perhaps never been more available to retail investors as the major exchanges compete for users going into 2019. | 2019-04-22T18:22:04 | http://btccryptosnews.com/circle-launches-new-research-platform-with-primers-on-eos-cardano-and-qtum/ |

Are you a first home buyer in Queensland?
It’s time to take advantage of the Government grant for first time home buyers before it decreases from a $20,000 grant to a $15,000 grant after 30th June 2017. Under Queensland law, first home buyers can access the grant if they are building a secondary dwelling on a family member’s land.
The Queensland First Home Buyers Grant is available to any Australian over 18 who is purchasing or building their first home in Queensland.
They (or their spouse) cannot have owned property they have lived in anywhere in Australia previously.
The home must be brand new and cost under $750k.
If your contact contract is dated before 30th June 2017 you will be eligible for the $20k grant. If your contract is dated from the 1st July 2017 you will be eligible for $15k.
Secondary dwellings such as ‘granny flats’ are eligible if they are brand new and built on a family member’s existing property.
The property must be lived in by the owner for six months of the first year of ownership or the grant will be reclaimed.
Nano Homes is offering first home buyers the chance to get their foot on the property ladder with the opportunity to purchase a Nano Home and put it on a relative’s land. Nano Homes are stylish and functional 1 and 2 bedroom homes that can be added to a property to be used as a granny flat, extra accommodation or as a first home for young people. They are the perfect, affordable solution for young people looking to purchase their first home.
Am I eligible to purchase a Nano Home?
If you are considering applying for a first home buyers grant but you aren’t sure how much the banks will let you borrow- we can help.
At Nano Homes, we use two calculations when working out what you can and can’t afford to do and the good news is that if you can’t afford to do something just yet this doesn’t mean that you can’t have a look into it and see where your limitations might be.
Our first calculation is borrowing capacity, we base this on your servicing – we consider your incomings and outgoings. Your borrowing capacity comes down to incoming versus outgoing – it’s basically how much you can afford to make the repayments.

We digitized a structure-contour map of the top of the Pennsylvanian section (Budnik and Smith, 1982). Strictly speaking this is not equivalent to the top of the Granite Wash because Granite Wash deposition diminished but continued until the end of the Wolfcampian, the early part of the Permian. The top of the Pennsylvanian map is a close approximation of a top of Granite Wash structural map. We gridded the top structure map, subtracted it from land surface elevation (National Imagery and Mapping Agency, 2000) to calculate gridded depth to Granite Wash (c1granitewash).

The use of the torture by the CIA post-9/11 has been revealed by one of its former agents, Glenn Carle. In 2002, Carle was tasked with interrogating a suspected high level al-Qaeda member using so-called enhanced interrogation techniques. But when he found the suspect was the wrong man, he found himself in the difficult position of criticising the value of a high profile CIA case and the institute’s use of torture. | 2019-04-19T15:21:48 | http://thewire.org.au/story/cia-got-the-wrong-man-says-ex-cia-agent/ |
Community is the cornerstone of a Coryell education. A Coryell education mainstreams students into adult life in the real world, and that requires becoming active community members with strong and lasting social connections. The center itself is located in the heart of Santa Cruz’s West Side, a vibrant neighborhood within walking distance of a wide variety of shops and businesses, parks and beaches, museums and landmarks, and much more. We are only a few blocks from numerous city thoroughfares and bus routes, which allow easy access to destinations such as the university campus, the city’s downtown, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and the local transit hub.
Community-based education means that skills from all domains of the Coryell Curriculum are taught and applied beyond the classroom every day, for every student. Coryell students develop the skills to access community resources as independently as possible. We teach the social, safety and self-help skills needed to respond to and seek support from people and resources in the community. Our students learn self-advocacy and social integration by being part of major area groups and events. By having the support to successfully interact with the community on a daily basis, Coryell students are constantly expanding their understanding, experience and enjoyment of all that life offers! | 2019-04-24T20:17:50 | http://coryellautismcenter.org/community2.shtml |

Tony’s career came with it; in fact, he provided much of the fuel.
In 1999, Tony teamed up with Activision to create the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game franchise.
Reports say that Hawk isn’t planning to move into the house full-time.
However, his fourth wife, Cathy Goodman, grew up in metro Detroit, and the couple want to “put their money and their stamp on the city,” according to Tumey.
He was crowned vertical skating’s world champion 12 years in a row.
As a 17-year old high school senior, Tony’s annual income surpassed that of his teachers, mostly as a result of royalties from his primary sponsor, Powell Peralta skateboards.
The first few years were rough: Birdhouse wasn’t making money, and Tony’s future was sketchy.The news broke in an Instagram post by Jim Tumey, an agent with the Loft Warehouse team.The picture showed Hawk and his family in front of the three-unit building.He was able to buy his first home before he graduated.Through the late ‘80s, he traveled the world, skating demos and contests.
The local branch at Torrevieja, which is run by a mixed Spanish and British committee, is situated in Calle Torrevejenses Ausentes, 33, between the Queen Burger Bar and the Plaza Oriente in Torrevieja. | 2019-04-26T10:03:55 | http://bamy.fakel-kuban.ru/who-is-tony-hawk-dating-2016-252 |
Asparagus wants to play with Apple, but is turned away because he’s a vegetable. Apple runs off with his friends Apricot and Avocado. Soon, more fruits and vegetables join the two sides, each arguing their group is the best. Iceberg Lettuce comes along and says no, those thing don’t matter. The greens should stick together. Will these healthful foods ever figure out that they are all nutritious and good? | 2019-04-19T17:15:32 | http://indiebooklounge.com/ebook/children/tracy-wainwright/apple-vs-asparagus/?bid=1003890705 |

The exhibition A Series of Gestures consists of three works that relate to ways the body engages with politics.
The 3 channel video work Rond De Jambe from 2015-2016 takes the history of the Stopera building in Amsterdam as a starting point. Built between 1979 and 1986, the building that serves as a home for the National Opera and Ballet as well as the City Hall, was created with strong opposition from the neighbours and left-wing movements in Amsterdam. Rond De Jambe juxtaposes the ‘political body’ and the ‘dancing body’, by using archival images from these protests, and by working together with dancers, it translates the movements into dance.
Several Forms of Friendship is the continuation of a work series where casts are made of different joints on the human body. For Kunsthall Trondheim Several Forms of Friendship takes place as a series of workshops where the public is invited to cast parts of the body, in particular joints, that enable movement, while discussing questions of relationships as a societal structure. The casts will be shown in the exhibition as a continually growing documentation of the workshops.
The third work A Series of Gestures, loans its title to the exhibition. The work consists of a series of prints from the archive of Adresseavisen, the local newspaper. Details of gestures from press images taken in connection with house fires in Trondheim, are cut out, enlarged and hung on the walls of the space where the workshop for Several Forms of Friendship is held.
With these three works the exhibition points toward how the body relates to power structures within a bio-political frame work. As with spoken language, gestures; the language of the body, express power structures, but can also formulate alternatives to these. In these works, the body is recognized as a political tool that is both governed and resists this governance through a series of gestures – either as part of a political movement in demonstrations or as a motor for care and organization beyond representational politics.

A ND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
Bob Geldof was on T.V last night. One thing struck me - he said his three poetry teachers had shaped his life and made a difference. Poetry is powerful. This poem should be read often just to let us know how lucky we are to be free and to think of soldiers in half the world who are at war.
Wonderful sentiments Toss, I salute you. I read that poem with a tear in my eye and also thought of the original poster. Best Wishes to you Grammer, thinking of you and wishing you the very best.
Fantastic. Wishing you all the best Grammer.
Well done Toss,a great reminder of how good Grammer's postings are. So lets have more Grammer, when you can.
Merry Christmas, to one and all. Thanks for another year of wonderful posts from everyone.
Love to all, especially Grammer!
I posted my greetings in the wrong string by the look of it - what's new says all of you.
Good Health and Happiness in 2018.

Today we decided to get outside. We probably benefited from it more than Eric. Took him to the Duffrin park behind our house. Picked longest route. Due to the rainy days river banks were flooded and the path was blocked, we had to turn around. Made s stop to feed Eric. Little squirrel kept us entertained while we were feeding. Since we behaved so well on this cloudy summer day we extended our walk all the way to the Second Cup. | 2019-04-24T04:58:55 | https://www.rakitine.com/jornal/2011/6/26/first-walk-in-the-park.html |
If you are unhappy in your present situation, and think there’s no way out, think again.What would you do if anything was possible? What are your dreams? What is your passion? What makes your soul sing? Heaven asks you to explore your options. When you explore new opportunities, the energy of the Universe begins flowing in the direction of your dreams. What small step can you take today in the direction of your dreams? Take it! Release your fears about moving forward. Stop seeing yourself as small or insignificant. Since we are all connected, what you do affects everyone and everything. Is there someone or something you need to forgive? This could be holding you back and keeping you stuck. Forgive everyone for everything, especially yourself. Call upon Archangel Zadkiel if you need help forgiving. He will help clear any emotional toxins you are holding in your heart, and bring emotional healing in miraculous ways. This will help you to move forward and believe you are worthy of having your dreams. Dream big! | 2019-04-22T05:03:33 | http://sticksandstonescircle.com/profiles/blogs/dream-big-by-star-west |

The production of smoke with laser ablation; can cause respiratory difficulty for operative personnel.
The production of smoke with laser ablation; can cause respiratory difficulty for surgical team.
Have you ever wondered why your hospital mandates the removal of laser plume but not the smoke created by electrosurgery?
However, "incorporation of the PFD patch into laser tattoo removal procedures may afford multiple benefits to the patient and provider, including increased efficiency, improved patient safety, fewer AEs associated with epidermal injury, and protection of the patient and provider from tissue splatter and laser plume," they concluded.
A coaxial method of laser plume evacuation was used within the nasal cavity.
Other safety considerations in using lasers include managing the laser plume and potential fire hazard.
This could be because early studies highlighted laser plume as a hazard (Biggins & Renfree 2002).
Precautions pertaining to laser plume and condyloma should be instituted.
Discarded trunk hairs from two adult volunteers were sealed in chambers and treated with a laser; two negative pressure canisters captured 30 seconds of laser plume for analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
In addition to viruses and virus particles, bacteria have been cultured from laser plume (Barrett & Garber, 2004).
Laser plume has always been taken more seriously than diathermy plume, but studies show they are very similar.
Diathermy smoke plume: why do we put up with it?
Polymerase chain reaction identification of human papillomavirus DNA in CO2 laser plume from recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
During laser hair removal (LHR) treatment, two 6-L negative-pressure canisters were used to capture 30 seconds of laser plume, and a portable condensation particle counter was used to measure ultrafine particulates (less than 1 mcm).

Tomorrow is Independence Day here in the United States, and I thought it would be the perfect time to share this wonderful editorial shoot. Photographed and styled by Green Pearl Photography, it was inspired by one of America’s Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, and Hamilton, the Broadway musical sensation about his life.
Arriving as a poor immigrant in the United States when he was just a teenager, Hamilton went on to help shape a country. The musical traces his rise (and tragic fall) but at its heart is a love story: Alexander’s complicated relationship with Elizabeth Schuyler.
The photoshoot imagines their nuptials, and fans of the play will note the way the shoot ingeniously weaves song lyrics and other references from the musical into its design. A ceremony sign points the way to “The Room Where it Happens," the calligraphed vows are excerpts from one of Eliza and Alexander’s love songs, a stamped teaspoon proclaims guests as “Young, Scrappy, and Hungry”, while place cards at the reception include “Angelica, Eliza…and Peggy!” Even Common Sense by Thomas Paine makes an appearance, and the models also reflect the diverse casting of the musical.
Eliza and her sisters are dressed in the same iconic colors as the costumes from the production: a pastel blue Hayley Paige gown for the bride, with pink and yellow dresses for Angelica and Peggy. The accessory designs are a nod to the fashions of the Revolutionary Era. For Eliza, I selected the Victorine earrings and a matching sash, both of which feature intricate lace motifs (reminiscent of metal filigree) and dramatic crystals that act as a stand-in for the square-cut diamonds favored during the time period. Choker necklaces were also all the rage during the 18th Century, and Peggy can be seen wearing one throughout the shoot.
The opulent Luxmore Grand Estate provided a backdrop evocative of a Colonial mansion, while authentic Federal-style antiques and table settings, as well as lush red, white, and blue floral designs, capture the elegance and exuberance of this period in American history.

January 23, 2018 (Spring Valley) - ECM traveled to Granite Hills on Tuesday night for a clash between the lady Eagles and the lady Wolf Pack on the court. Granite Hills has started their season a little lackluster, going 7-10 overall and 1-1 in league. The Wolf Pack sport the same 7-10 record, but are undefeated so far in league, going 2-0.
The Wolf Pack set the tone in the first quarter, but were held back in the second by a hungry Eagles offense who crept back into the game. West Hills managed to keep their lead going into the half by eight points, 18-10.
Not very many points were scored in the third, but West Hills senior Kerrie Daniels got the Pack to a double digit lead with a nice putback on the offensive board and the Pack led 23-13 after three.
There were only four points scored in the fourth, but one dagger bucket from junior Savanna Rinder was all the Wolf Pack needed to win this one 25-15 and remain undefeated in league play and move to 8-10 overall. The Eagles move to 1-2 in league and to 7-11 on the season.
The lady Eagles will next travel to Grossmont on Friday night. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. The Wolf Pack stay in the area and head to La Mesa to face Helix, also on Friday night at 5:30 p.m. | 2019-04-18T18:47:52 | https://www.eastcountymagazine.org/girls-basketball-wolf-pack-emerge-victorious-low-scoring-clash-hills |
It’s been a while since we had a dog underfoot and this one specialises in getting as underfoot as possible. If not that, he’ll be in someone’s lap – a 22.5 kg lap dog.
When I take Dog for a walk up the main street he gets sooked-over big time- “Aw what a cute Staffie – is he friendly?” Well, he does have a green harness and lead with “friendly” emblazoned upon it, so, yeh. We are just baby-sitting this one, and I use the word advisedly as he is an anxious dog who (a) does not like to be outside when all the humans are inside, and (b) dislikes being left alone for more than two or three hours. This makes a weekend trip to Brisbane for the ballet just a bit tricky.
He’ll lie doggo on the back seat of the car for a lengthy time but then starts whining and the whining turns into screaming. Oh, you know this behaviour? The other thing Staffies do is a supressed excitement grunt not unlike Marge Simpson’s hhmmnn (when Homer is being irritating).
On Wednesday night Dog was in his element – a choice of laps to sit in with the ritual watching of the State of Origin. He got excited and confused with all the yelling and cheering in the 78th minute. Last time (when Queensland was beaten), we made him wear a maroon beanie and put photos on Facebook.
If you inhabit Facebook you will see a lot of dog photos (and videos) including one that had 17 million views.
The obvious question is who watched these videos and why? Other dog owners, I’m guessing.
The RSPCA says there are 4.5 million dogs in Australia, with 39% of households having one.
Dogs in Australia experience lifestyles ranging from the cossetted fur babies who have the run of the house, their own beds (usually at the foot of the humans’ bed), pet insurance, gourmet pet food and the vet on speed-dial. In the middle are working dogs; guiding disabled people, sniffing out drugs or explosives, guarding junk yards, tracking bad guys, herding sheep, baling up pigs or hunting down rabbits. At the other end of the scale are the neglected dogs, chained up all day while the owners are away and often abandoned once their owners realise how much work is involved.
Many ‘rescue’ organisations have been formed to take neglected dogs away from bad circumstances, to rehabilitate them and foster them to caring families. One such foster-Dad was telling me his rescue dog flinches whenever someone nearby swears loudly. So dogs get PTSD too.
We could have a lengthy debate about dogs and their respective levels of intelligence. German Shepherds are said to have the intellect of a seven-year-old child. One night we were watching Inspector Rex (remember Rex?) on our big screen TV, positioned against a lounge room wall with our bedroom on the other side. Previously we had thought our female Alsatian was uninterested in TV. But then Rex appeared and went ‘woof’. Our dog scampered behind the TV, then into our bedroom and came out a few seconds later with a perplexed look.
The difference between the German shepherd and the Staffie is the latter will come when called. Our Shepherd would spot some other dog on the other side of the park and off she’d go (at pace), coming back when she felt like it. She was too smart to try crossing Annerley Road on her own, but too dumb to open the side gate once she did come home.
I had to bow to her encyclopaedic knowledge of dog breeds. On the surface, this is a fairly useless skill. But you can start conversations with complete strangers and some of them may end up giving you directions or sharing lunch on a train (Italians take their dogs on trains).
Unfortunately, dogs go in and out of fashion. Teenagers (‘I want a puppy’), will pick whatever type of dog their peer group likes at the time – (Rottweilers r cool!) Older people, perhaps influenced by popular media, want a dog like the one Madonna has, or Prince Harry. Back in the 60s and 70s, Afghan hounds were popular, then Irish setters, breeds known for shedding and for not having much between their ears.
Many people buy or adopt a dog on a whim and quickly come to the conclusion that they are too much work. For the 61% of households who don’t own a dog, here’s what can happen if you give in to requests for a puppy.
If you want to travel, there are only three options: a dog and/or house sitter, a kennel or the dog goes with you.
When we travelled around Australia in 2015, it seemed every second caravanner had at least one dog. These people frequently use free camps because so many caravan parks have a ‘no dogs’ rule. We said hello to a couple travelling in a Toyota Hiace pop-top motor home. They showed us their set-up – two single beds and a dog bed in between for their Labrador!
Nice doggy – sit, stay.
I’m joining in a St Vinnies fundraiser for homelessness next Thursday (29th). There are some 1500 homeless men, women and children on the Sunshine Coast, including some in our small town. I hope you can help meet my target of $500 (the regional target is $100k). Think of me and 80+ others next Thursday, with our sheets of cardboard, soup and rolls and (hopefully adequate) sleeping bags. | 2019-04-23T19:54:13 | https://bobwords.com.au/dog-dogging-footsteps/ |
Most people think that they know what cosmetic dentistry is: making people’s smiles nicer. But do you really know what is involved in doing this?
Cosmetic dentistry may seem simple to many people, but in fact, it is really a very detailed process from the first to the last appointment. I want to take the time to explain both the techniques available and the process required for the execution of these techniques.
Of these different treatment options, the first four are used when the tooth that needs transformation is present. The last 3 treatments (Implants, bonding and dentures) are used to replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth.
The results of this treatment are self-explanatory. At the conclusion of this treatment, the patient has significantly whiter, brighter teeth. Tooth whitening can be achieved by several different treatment options.
These range from home treatments where the patient wears either clear plastic trays with bleaching gels or thin plastic strips coated with bleaching gel. With persistence, the patient can achieve great results with these home treatments. The problem with the home treatments is that most patients lack the motivation to continually wear the whitening system at home.
The other alternative is “In-Office” bleaching, which is done in the dental office by the dental hygienist. This form of treatment is often more effective because the bleaching agents are stronger than what is commercially available for home use. Requiring only a single appointment, the patient usually achieves their whitening goals much quicker.
Quite simply put, orthodontic treatment means moving the crooked, shifted or rotated teeth into the correct position in the patient’s dental arch (jaw) so that they not only look better, but also function better. With orthodontics, the treatment can (rarely) be limited to a single tooth, or the whole mouth can be treated so that all the teeth are properly aligned. This movement of teeth is accomplished in a few different ways.
These are the traditional brackets and wires that have been in use for decades. They can be either silver colored or tooth colored. The silver ones are far easier for the dentist and the patient when the wires need to be changed, but the “porcelain” or “tooth colored” brackets may be more acceptable to some patients.
This is a revolutionary treatment option that requires no wires or brackets and is almost completely invisible. It consists of a series of clear aligners worn for just 2 weeks and then replaced with the next one in the series. With this treatment option, visits to the dentist are fewer, it is easier to keep the teeth clean, and there are no wires that may occasionally shift causing discomfort. Also, since each aligner moves the teeth just 0.2 mm, there tends to be less tooth tenderness when each new aligner is started.
These devices focus on addressing problems with the jaws and try to correct these issues prior to full braces or Invisalign. This movement is called “orthopedic” movement. Removable appliance can also be used to correct very simple tooth movements, such as correcting the position of a single tooth. While removable appliances play a very useful role in comprehensive orthodontics, they usually are not used by themselves to correct problems.
Porcelain restorations (crowns or veneers) are considered to be the “gold standard” when it comes to correcting a misshapen, broken or even discolored tooth. The difference between a crown and a veneer is simple: A veneer is like a false fingernail, covering the front surface of the tooth, while a crown is more like a sewing thimble, covering the whole of the tooth. Your dentist can best recommend which will meet your needs most effectively.
To make a crown or veneer, the dentist prepares the tooth with a drill to a shape that will support the restoration. Sometimes this means almost no drilling, and other times the tooth needs more preparation to allow for a greater thickness of porcelain.
Porcelain restorations are beautiful and most closely mimic natural teeth. The porcelain can easily be made whiter than the original tooth, or it can be made to match almost exactly the appearance of the tooth as nature intended (before being worn down, broken, decayed or discolored).
There are several different types of porcelains, and your dentist will usually specify which type of porcelain he or she wishes the lab to use. These choices are based on several factors, including the chewing stresses on the teeth, the underlying color (a different porcelain may be chosen if the original tooth is quite dark), or if it is in the front of the mouth where even subtle differences of shade will be noticed.
Bonding is the general term used by the public to describe the application of tooth colored “plastics” to the surface of the tooth. These materials are called “composite resin” by the dental profession and refer to a vast number of products that come in an equally vast array of shades. When these composite resins are “bonded” to the teeth, they can be used as fillings or to resurface discolored teeth. Composite resin restorations (fillings) are long lasting, but they do tend to be more brittle and can chip, flake and eventually discolor with time.
Esthetic bonding can be used as an intermediary step for patients who are considering porcelain veneers but are deterred by the increased cost. One major advantage bonding has over porcelain restorations is that they can be placed immediately by the dentist and requires no impressions or lab time, thus reducing the number of appointments required and reduced costs.
Now we are getting into replacing missing teeth. Implants are the greatest things since sliced bread (even better if you try to avoid carbs). Dental implants are placed by the dental surgeon directly into the site where the previous tooth was prior to being removed. With implants, the adjacent teeth are left alone and are not asked to do the work of helping to support the replacement tooth. (Read on to Bridges and Dentures to fully understand). Suffice to say, when done properly, they look far more natural than other restorations and are far more comfortable for the patients.
Bridges are made to replace, at most, one to two teeth. Bridges require strong teeth on either side of the gap (where the teeth are missing). These teeth are prepared for crowns, but instead of crowns, the dentist will take an impression (mould) of the prepared teeth and send the case to the lab. The lab then returns the bridge, which has two crowns with a false tooth in between holding the crowns together. The problem with bridges is that patients can’t floss with them because the teeth are joined together and they required extensive drilling to the teeth on either side of the gap supporting the bridge.
Dentures are made from acrylic. They are removable “teeth.” They can be either complete dentures, replacing all the teeth in the mouth, or “partial” dentures, replacing only a few teeth that may be missing. Problems with dentures are that they are frequently loosened with time as the support jaw bones shrink with age. Dentures also often put stress on the supporting teeth. In addition, if the denture is worn on the upper arch, the palate is usually covered with acrylic, which can reduce the sense of taste and change speech. If the denture is worn on the lower arch, the tongue and muscles of the lower jaw can often cause the dentures to slip off the tissues, leading to embarrassing moments for the patients.
Now you have a very basic understanding of the options available for remaking a smile. While it sounds simple, there are many steps the dentist must perform to get a great result. | 2019-04-25T02:54:12 | https://www.carolwaldmandentistry.ca/options-remaking-smile/ |
Childbirth is not an easy process. Both mother and child go through quite a bit of stress during the birth and may end up with some minor bumps and bruises as a result. One affliction that a child can experience after coming into the world is a subconjunctival hemorrhage. This patch of redness in the eye is generally harmless; however it can occasionally lead to, or be a symptom of, a more serious condition.
A subconjunctival hemorrhage occurs when there is bleeding in the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the thin, moist, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye (called the sclera) and the inside of the eyelids. It is the outermost protective coating of the eyeball” and “contains nerves and many small blood vessels. While these blood vessels are not too easy to see, if the eye is inflamed then these vessels can become large and more visible. A subconjunctival hemorrhage occurs when the blood vessels break. The hemorrhage results in a bright red or dark red patch on the sclera.
A difficult labor, during which there are more contractions than normal, can result in a hemorrhage. This expended period of contraction time paired with the long time that the newborn spends inside the highly-compact birth canal, can put more pressure than normal on the newborn, which can culminate in a subconjunctival hemorrhage in one or both of his or her eyes.
Such hemorrhages can also be caused by certain assisted delivery techniques, including a forceps tool or a vacuum-assisted delivery. Using either one of these can result in strain on the newborn's head. This stress and pressure greatly increase the chances of the child suffering a subconjunctival hemorrhage, especially if these techniques are done improperly, negligently, or recklessly in an attempt to speed up the birth.
Newborns in difficult deliveries can lose their supply of oxygen. This can happen if the umbilical cord becomes tangled, or if the pressure in the birth canal compresses the fragile body in a way that impairs the ability to breathe. This can increase the internal distress levels, which can cause the child's most fragile eye blood vessels to burst.
According to Stanford Medicine, this is a frequent condition in newborn children. The hemorrhage typically goes away on its own after a period of time. It will decrease in size and may change colors as it heals.
However, if the hemorrhage does not go away or there are other symptoms such as pain or vision changes then it is a good idea to contact a health care provider. In addition, as a subconjunctival hemorrhage may be a sign of a difficult birth, it is important that the doctors taking care of you follow up and make sure that there is not any additional reason that the child may have a hemorrhage such as another pressure-related injury.
If you believe your child was the victim of a medical error that resulted in a birth injury, please do not hesitate to contact the legal team at the law firm of Gilman and Bedigian today. | 2019-04-21T06:29:21 | https://www.gilmanbedigian.com/subconjunctival-hemorrhage-philadelphia-birth-injury |
There have been a lot of mentions about this stock on social media and in the media in general such as CNBC etc. I am not surprised as it’s been on a mission the last few weeks; however the recent peak could well have put in a significant peak, especially considering the media attention this stock has got recently.
Whenever a stock or market gets highlighted, it’s generally very close to a turn and usually close to high or low; in this case I can make a solid claim that there are enough gyrations to suggest the advance from the April 2018 lows has ended an impulse wave (5 wave rally).
To support the more bearish idea (Idea 1) and a large move lower to at least correct the advance from the April 2018 lows, then I would want to see a move below 24.90. The alternative idea that I am tracking (Idea 2), suggests the recent high is only that of a 3rd of 3rd wave and a few more gyrations as shown would be seen to extend the advance.
However if we see a big move below 24.90, then I feel the depth of the decline would not be fitting with the prior gyrations and is likely part of a move lower for Idea 1.
If you own the stock you might want to pay attention to the area around 25.90 – 26.00, in my opinion, any weakness should really find buyers if further upside is going to be seen for the alternative idea (Idea 2).
If history is a guide, then the recent high could be as significant as the prior 2 peaks.

This morning it is with pleasure that I realize that we are already 2 January 2015.
So I begin to realize that 2014 is well and truly behind us.
I do not know about you but for me, 2014 was a year of good things for me and for my family.
Besides the birth of Olivia, our little girl who was born in June, I have personally spent a year full of good things both personally and professionally.
Now that we are in 2015, I can look back and take a fairly positive assessment of what I accomplished in 2014.
Do not get me wrong though! I do not pretend that everything was perfect for me. Far from it.
Like you many of you, I experienced ups and downs. But thanks to God, I can say that overall the results are pretty good.
If certain things were not totally under my control though, there are things I could improve, change or even completely done differently to get much better results than I got.
As 2015 is just beginning, I thought it was important to take a step back to think about what I have neglected the past year and think about the things to put in place to make 2015 an exceptional year for me.
That being said, here is a list of 5 things I neglected in 2014, and I would like to change in 2015 to really take off my online business, improve my results and my productivity.
I’m sure you already know all the words that says “The money is in the list, right?
Well it’s true. I have personally experienced it.
This year, I have spent no less than $ 1,000 in buying products and services I did not even think about (software, eBook, and training) simply because I clicked on a link in an email I received in my inbox.
Yet despite this, it is clear that I have somewhat neglected this aspect of my business.
Yet the facts are clear… The more you spend time building your prospect list, the more you collect leads. Plus you have leads, the better you can communicate with your list and build a relationship of trust with them.
Once this trust is established between you and your prospects, sending them promotional emails and selling them your products becomes easier.
Simply because they trust you and consider you as an expert who brings them value. So they are more willing to buy the products you offer.
Imagine making money each time you send an email to your prospects? Well that’s exactly what most of the people who make 6 figure online do in a daily basis.
Like me, if you have an online business, whether in the field of affiliate marketing or network marketing, you must focus more on building your list if you want to earn more money.
If you do not know how to effectively build a list, or if you don’t have your own online business, click here for more information.
Sometimes you have to admit we do not know everything. Let it be on the internet or in any other activity, some people think they know and can do everything themselves.
In my opinion this is a mistake. Wanting to Do It Yourself can be counterproductive and totally ineffective for your business.
So, if like me you tend to always want to do everything yourself, I can only recommend you to think about delegating the tasks that others can do for you.
Delegating and outsourcing have many advantages.
First, by delegating, you free yourself more time to do concentrate on activities that will really bring added value to your business, such as building a relationship of trust with your prospects or improve your marketing, for example.
Second, delegating tasks to other people sometimes allows you to get better results because in depending on what you need, you will always find people more qualified than you and therefore can do things faster and better than you.
What you do not know how to or do not have time to do, leave it to others. You will find on sites like Fiverr.com people who, for just $ 5, can do almost everything that you ask.
Judge the result for yourself.
So my goal for 2015 is to delegate more to only keep my focus on activities that will help me to improve my business.

The Cyprus Scouts Association has defended Saturday’s hike during which 21 of their members went missing in the Troodos mountains, requiring a massive all night police operation to bring them to safety.
In an announcement, the association said that an initial investigation had found that all internal procedures had been adhered to and the scout leaders had had the required training.
“The fact that both the children and the scout leaders were exposed to adverse conditions for more than 12 hours with temperatures below zero and managed to cope without frost bite or even a single incident of panic shows the high level of training and readiness to deal with such conditions,” it said.
According to the announcement, the scout leaders had walked the specific nature trail 15 days earlier, and revisited the trail on Wednesday — three days before the hike.
The rock slide which prevented them from moving forward must have occurred in the past two days and was at the last stage of trail, the association..
All the children are in good health and after medical tests at Larnaca and Kyperounda hospitals are back with their families.
The association thanked the parents for their cooperation and trust in the scout leaders as well as the authorities for their rescue operation. | 2019-04-25T22:02:10 | https://in-cyprus.com/scouts-say-all-internal-procedures-adhered-to/ |

This is good for a laugh. You may remember a brief trend for editing movies to make trailers that show the movie as a completly different genre like The Shining as a life affirming dramedy or West Side Story as a zombie movie (links to the best ones here).
Anyway, there’s a new one to take a look at named Brokeback To The Future. If you find the idea of Heath Ledger mounting Jake Gyllenhaal repellant just think about Christopher Lloyd getting freaky with Michael J Fox as star-crossed lovers across time. Suddenly sounds more appealing, doesn’t it? | 2019-04-26T00:46:02 | https://www.nekofever.com/brokeback-to-the-future/ |
Those who never have done it can have no concept of what it`s like, and those who have done it can`t begin to describe it.
For those who do choose to travel in a car full of kids-and their numbers are growing at equal pace with two-career parenthood-the Embassy Suites hotel chain is offering a haven, at least on weekends.
Embassy Suites, which has acquired the Park Suites chain to raise the number of its hotels to 100, earlier this month unveiled a national ''family friendly'' program named after cartoon character Garfield, the company`s promotional ''spokescat'' since 1986.
Under terms of ''Garfield`s American Adventure,'' children checking into 1 of the 72 participating Embassy Suites hotels for weekends with their parents get a royal welcomed.
Gift packs at check-in time include T-shirts, ''Garfield'' magazines, playing cards, postcards, bookmarks, maps of area attractions, discount coupons on everything from toys to cruises and entertainment and a game card giving each child a shot at a $10,000 college scholarship.
Embassy Suites will publicize its program by distributing teaching guides for history and geography to 10,000 elementary schools nationwide, and next year with Garfield shows in more than 100 shopping malls.
At 25 of the hotels, including the Embassy Suites, 600 N. State St., Chicago, parents also are given a discount rental on a video camera with free tape to record their trip. As standard policy, made-to-order breakfasts are free for the whole family (as are evening cocktails for parents).
The ultimate service to the childbound is to be found at only three hotels-in New York, Palm Beach Shores, Fla. and on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
For children 3 to 13, New York, Palm Beach Shores and Maui also boast Kids Clubs, day-care centers equipped with arcade-caliber video games, indoor basketball, VCRs with tapes and activities designed to keep the children busy while Mom and Dad go shopping or to the theater. Rates are $5 an hour, capped at $20 for the whole day. The New York hotel rents cellular phones to parents so they can keep in touch with their children through the day.
Hotels in the chain are essentially autonomous and cannot be required to offer the Kids Club. But Mary Lee Broder, manager of program development for Embassy Suites, said at an press conference in New York Oct. 15 that the corporation will attempt to get all of them involved.
- The U.S. Travel Data Center in Washington, D.C., said the number of business trips-155.4 million-was down last year from 1989, but that the number of travelers was up, to more than 35 million adults.
Broder said travelers ''increasingly are taking their children along,'' a lifestyle change that makes the Kids Club concept a natural.
''Eighty percent of all vacations today involve at least one child, and last year as many as 6 million children went along on business trips,'' Broder said.
''Women business travelers now make up one-third of all business travelers, and (some) parents today take their children everywhere with them- in business, pleasure or both.
But will notoriously independent hotels in the chain have the will or the heart to take the plunge on childproof rooms and lavish day-care centers for their guests?
''We`re probably not going to get into that, at least for the next year,'' said Collette Radcliffe, general manager at Denver`s downtown Embassy Suites, which is participating in the ''American Adventure'' promotion.
An Arizona Embassy Suites executive, who asked not to be identified, declined to go that far.
''Families that come here on weekends are coming because we offer a much lower weekend rate than we do during the week, and `Garfield`s American Adventure` is priced so that to give away some of the things they`re giving away, you have to have a higher weekend rate,'' the executive said.

READ WHAT THRU? THE BIBLE!
or Hiking the Appalachian Trail.
WHY WOULD READING THE ENTIRE BIBLE BE ANY DIFFERENT?
The roughly 1500 pages of the Bible are divided into 365 daily readings. These 365 readings parallel the 365 steps of climbing Mt. Everest. As each reading is completed, the reader checks-off progress, much like a trekker would with a climb of Mt. Everest.
The journey is a straight climb thru both the Old Testament and New Testament at the same time. Day 1 starts with the first chapters of each Testament, Genesis 1 and Matthew 1. Day 365 finishes with the last chapters, Malachi 4 and Revelation 22.

Jeff Cable's Blog: This could be one of the coldest Winter Olympics ever! - How I am planning for that.
This could be one of the coldest Winter Olympics ever! - How I am planning for that.
When most people ask me about my planning process and packing for the Olympics, they are almost always asking me about my camera equipment. But this year, with chilling temperatures in PyeongChang, this California guy is facing a big challenge.
Other than periodical trips to the Sierras for the holidays, the coldest weather I have to deal with is somewhere in the 40F range. Well...as you can see from the screen shot above, this Olympics in PyeongChang is going to be REALLY cold. They say it will be one of the coldest winter Olympics in history.
* At this Olympics, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies are going to be outside. And us photographers have to be inside the arena at least 4 hours before the ceremonies start. Combine that with the 4 hour long festivities, and you realize that we are sitting in one place for 8 hours in this really cold weather.
* Cold weather will typically decrease battery life, so I will have to carry extra batteries for my cameras and other accessories.
* I have a lot of clothing to keep my body warm, and feel that my current photography gloves (with exposable finger tips) will not be heavy enough to keep my hands warm. I just ordered the heavy duty shooting gloves from Freehands. These are their ski / snowboard gloves but also have the removable fingers.
With that in mind (and hoping to keep myself from becoming a frozen photographer), I have been out shopping for the last month.
The good news is that, for the first time I can remember, there will be washer and dryers for use in each building. And there is no charge for this. So I am also bringing some packages of detergent so that I can do my wash over there. This should be way easier than washing my clothes in a bathtub or sink like I have done in the past.
Here is the ironic thing...I am writing this blog while still in Northern California (wearing a t-shirt and shorts) where the average temperature is currently 70 during the day. Next week will be a huge change for me.
But after years of planning, I am ready to get to Korea and start capturing the action! My flight leaves in 5 days.
Before I leave, I will also post a blog showing the photographic equipment I am taking with me to Korea. Stay tuned! | 2019-04-18T17:12:07 | http://blog.jeffcable.com/2018/01/this-could-be-one-of-coldest-winter.html |

New mommies know why this tutorial is important. We rarely get anymore than a few minutes to put on our "face." Here is how to get a put together look quick.
If you are someone that only needs light coverage use a tinted moisturizer. I recommend Boots No7 Dual Action Tinted Moisturizer. No sponge needed. Just apply as you would your regular face moisturizer.
If you need more coverage mix a squirt of your liquid foundation with a squirt of face moisturizer in your hands and apply to your face as you would a regular face moisturizer. This makes for even coverage.
Apply a tinted lip balm. I recommend Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balm or Ageless Derma Lip Gloss for more color.
Applying mascara from root to tip should give the appearance of a thicker lashes at the lash line. Some recommend holding a credit card behind your lashes while you apply but I find this isn't worth the time it takes to do so. | 2019-04-22T09:05:57 | https://www.floridamommydiaries.com/2013/07/5-minute-make-up.html |

It’s been awhile. I’m always so shocked when I let some time go by without posting and realize that a few months have gone by, if not more. Life just keeps on keepin’ on.
While life hasn’t changed too drastically, I do have some big news to share that will make life interesting here in the next three weeks: my husband accepted an internship in the Silicon Valley area of California! The opportunity fell right into his lap – literately. Good ol’ LinkedIn came through via a recruiter who liked what he saw on Dan’s profile page so several interviews were set up, and before we knew it, a large tech firm had extended a nice offer to Dan the following week. Prior to being recruited, Dan was not even considering internships out of the state for the sole reason that we wanted to stay in our wonderful city for at least the foreseeable future. Although, I am familiar with moving around a little bit. My parents were in the military and with that commitment came periodic moves. We were blessed in that we only moved around about three times, but I moved around quite a bit in my early 20s. Each time uprooting my life and leaving my friends for something new. Change is good, but big city life suites me well, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Any time I take a trip to suburban areas or even back home I immediately miss my life in the big city.
Dan and I spoke about the California opportunity for several weeks, trying to figure out how we would make it work, and we soon settled on Dan accepting the offer. The company is giving Dan a small housing stipend, but it was our job to find him temporary housing. This part was immensely stressful, but we eventually found a room for him via Airbnb. I did some background research on the host, reviewed reviewers comments, and Skyped with him later. I feel comfortable with the decision, and I pray that everything runs smoothly. Holy cow though, California is EXPENSIVE! I could not believe the rental prices leasing reps were quoting me. I started looking at corporate housing and extended stay hotels, but I just could not justify the cost – the idea is save a large chunk of the money Dan will be earning while he’s out there.
The funny thing about Dan’s internship is that we have been talking about taking a vacation in California for years! I have never been so I am so excited to get to see the West coast. One of my most favorite movies is Sideways, and I would give anything to see the Hitching Post and Napa Valley. I’ve already booked time off from work to visit Dan in the beginning of July for around 9 days, but that will probably be the only time I get to see him until his internship ends. My heart grows heavy when I think about him not being here with me for the whole summer, but I’m leaning on God to get me through the nights when I miss him more than I can bear. I’m thankful for my friends, and all the summer festivities we’ve got planned already. I intend to use a busy schedule and lots of prayer to divert my attention from missing my husband.
I’m also coming up on my one year anniversary at work. I can’t believe it! I still remember the sheer elation I felt when this offer came through, and I’m still very content with my decision to accept the offer. I still like the non-traditional approach I’ve taken to working in law, and I’ve enjoyed working with my sweet co-workers. I’ve always been flexible in my approach on life. I would like to stay where we are for at least the foreseeable future, but I can’t be certain of that until Dan is finished with school. There’s always the possibility that he’ll snag an offer that he’s incredibly excited about after he graduates in a year outside of the state. I want to support Dan just as he’s supported me so we’ll see where life takes us if that decision comes up in the future. The idea of sitting for another bar exam is nauseating, but we’ll cross that bridge if it comes upon us.
In other news, my cool, RV-traveling parents are in Iowa as I write this, and I think I’m finally going to get to see them this summer! I’m ashamed to say that I have not seen my parents in at least two years. I miss my mom deeply so I’m excited that they’re at least within driving distance.
I also went on my first extended stay camping trip in Michigan! It was so wonderful. There are no words to explain what an amazing time I had just chilling with some truly amazing friends, cooking dinner over the fire, singing worship songs over the gentle plucking of an acoustic guitar and laughing until tears ran down my face. More than anything, it was nice to escape for a weekend and to recharge. I think everyone needs to get away every once in awhile. It was just what I needed!
I hope life is treating you well, readers!
