A decade is a long time, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like it. A lot can change in a decade, even though it seems to happen in fast-forward mode, like a time-lapse video. This often leaves people with a nagging sense that they need to update some things. Maybe it’s their estate plan or their insurance coverages? But in my experience, for every one thing you can think of that needs to get updated, there are likely five to seven things that you probably would update if you had time to think about it.
Whitnell’s commitment to producing thought leadership materials stretches back several years now. The Whitnell Way is one example of how we share ideas with our clients and the wider market. But it’s not the only way – especially now that Brian Henderson is a published author on Forbes.com.
I know it might sound strange for me to say that you shouldn’t focus on money. Of course, I’m not saying that you should ignore your finances and hope for the best. That would not be wise. But through my experiences with serving families, something has become very clear to me. Wealth is a means to an end – living a great life.
Families work hard to build wealth, not for the sake of achieving some number on a balance sheet. They want the wealth to support their family life. As a family’s wealth grows, it is easy to get consumed by the numbers from taxes to balance sheets to interest income, etc. There comes a point where it may be a good time to take a step back and reflect on the why – your family purpose – to assess whether your wealth and hard work is helping you to achieve a greater purpose.
Over the last few years, I've begun to work with more private equity entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and business executives. I really enjoy working with these people because they are so bold and willing to take risks. These individuals live and breathe the American Dream every day. They put it all on the line.
Yet I've also noticed that their penchant for risk-taking sometimes hurts them when they miscalculate an opportunity. Private equity entrepreneurs are willing to take huge risks because they know that's how they'll realize huge rewards. But this mindset can be a hindrance to building and preserving long-term wealth.
We all have to take risks to achieve rewards. But it’s essential to fully evaluate the opportunity while being realistic about best-case and worst-case scenarios. The key is to take the right risks at the right time. When we take the wrong risks, or take reasonable risks at the wrong time, we diminish the likelihood of achieving our goals. Here are lessons I've learned about risk-taking from working closely with private equity entrepreneurs.
While there are many strategies that can be put in place to preserve multi-generational wealth, here is what I’ve learned after so many years of serving affluent families. There are two critical factors that will have a greater influence on this goal than anything else: recognizing tipping points and viewing family wealth as an enterprise. The surprising thing is that neither of these are strategies, per se. They are both about mindset, about taking a certain perspective. Let me explain.
“Family offices” are often thought of as the domain of the ultra-affluent. When people think of a family office, they often envision a team of highly skilled people, such as lawyers, CPAs and investment advisors, serving a single prominent American family, such as the Rockefellers.
While this has been the common perception over the last several decades, a new trend is emerging. This trend is designed to serve a changing demographic. During the Baby Boomer and Gen X generations, the US witnessed a proliferation of wealth unlike ever before.
Whitnell is pleased to announce that Robert Legan is now leading the Family Office Service team. His background in working with ultra-affluent families made him the obvious choice for this role. For those who may not be aware, the Family Office Service team at Whitnell works with a select group of ultra-affluent families who have complex financial needs.
I read an interesting statistic the other day, although I did find it somewhat disturbing. According to the Exit Planning Institute’s Readiness Survey (2013), 75% of business owners “profoundly regretted” selling their business 12 months after the deal. To me, this is very sad to hear. I’m privileged to work with a select group of entrepreneurs and I know how much passion and energy they bring to their businesses. They pour their lives into these enterprises.
They look forward to the day when all of their hard work will culminate in a transfer of equity to someone else. But all too often, that moment is followed by disappointment. Why?
As I watched the Super bowl recently, I was reminded of different teams I played on growing up. In team sports, there are certain fundamental principles that come to life. Teamwork prevails over a star player. Execution matters more than raw talent. Experience comes with age. Defense wins championships.
But the football season is now over and baseball is just around the corner. Not everyone finds baseball exciting, but I find myself exhilarated by the looming start of the season. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I’m a lifelong Cubs fan and we have a lot to be excited about.
I’ve had the privilege of working with entrepreneurs to transition their business to others, and I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Many business owners may be unprepared to transfer their business when the time comes to sell. This not only delays the liquidity event, it can also have a material negative impact on the value of the business.
If you are a business owner over the age of 40, I’d like to give you some key insights to think about now so you can start to prepare for your business transfer. Even if you think this may not happen for another decade, these insights will help you be ready when the time comes.
How Might These Benefit Your Situation?
Interest rates are still pretty attractive compared to previous decades. In fact, today’s low interest rates provide some opportunities that may not come around again for a very long time, potentially in our lifetimes. What seems certain, at this point, is that interest rates will not remain low forever – in fact, they could start to trend higher yet this year.
This raises some important questions. How can one take advantage of low interest rates? What strategies might work for your goals? What steps might you take now that might not be available or attractive in the coming months and years? Will you miss out on some great opportunities?
Many successful private businesses are owned and managed by a limited number of partners. Sometimes these partners are family members or life-long friends. Other times the business partnerships formed after trusted working relationships were fostered. But I’ve noticed a dangerous trend in these types of businesses.
It seems many closely-held, privately owned businesses do not have formal agreements in place to protect the business owners from unforeseen circumstances that could dramatically impact them and their families. A high degree of personal trust and loyalty, handshake agreements, seem to suffice between partners. I believe this is a mistake. I’d like to share my perspectives with you.
The holiday season is here in force. I feel it and I’m sure you do too. This is a wonderful time of year. But I sometimes wish there were 62 days in December instead of only 31 days. I know it’s the holiday season because of what happens with my clients. The busy executives and business owners that I’m privileged to serve are often so busy during the year that I have to schedule meetings months in advance. The pace of work and life leaves them with little time for anything else.
But during the holidays, somewhere around the third week of December, things start to change. People slow down a bit. They take time off from work and spend it with family. They relax and just breathe.
For family-owned businesses, especially those families where children are involved in the business, the retirement of the business founder can be a real conundrum. There are so many issues to sort through. Some of these issues are financial or business-related. But other issues are unique to family-planning and caring for loved ones.
My son’s t-ball team recently won the championship in the Oak Park, Illinois youth baseball league. Over the course of the season, we experienced many highs and lows. That’s the nature of coaching 5, 6 and 7-year olds. I witnessed joys and agonies among these young competitors who are just learning to deal with life’s ups and downs.
In my last article, I stated that a great financial team includes a wealth manager, CPA and estate attorney. The reason you need this team is because success in business does not necessarily equate to success in wealth. Even those who earn a high income may not achieve their wealth goals unless they have the right team guiding them.
Success in business does not necessarily equate to success in wealth. Just because someone earns a high income, owns a lot of assets, holds equity in a private business or has a large portfolio – this does not always mean that they’ll achieve their wealth goals. To achieve the goals that matter most to you regarding your wealth, you need a team of experts who work together to address a wide range of issues including financial planning, taxes, retirement, cash-flow, estate planning, asset protection and even charitable giving.
When I meet with business owners, it seems they want to talk primarily about their investment portfolio. What I often discover, however, is that their current investment portfolio is a fraction of their potential net worth, unless they’ve already had a liquidity event and sold their business.
Sooner or later most senior executives consider switching to another company. Exciting new opportunities pose increases in career satisfaction and work-life balance. But when it comes to comparing the executive compensation packages and figuring out if you are better off leaving or staying – based on economics alone – it can be very tough to make an apples-to-apples comparison. | 2019-04-20T08:19:08Z | https://www.whitnell.com/blog |

Five students share a room at a college hostel. Two of them decide to move out and stay in a private room for their unique, weird problem.
When I was doing my bachelors, my maternal uncle used to stay close to our house.
He had a 5 year old son – lets call him PK. Every Sunday, PK used to come to our house to study. I was given the task of tutoring him.
PK used to write with his left-hand, which was frowned upon by all the elders – my elder brother, my parents and even PK’s parents.
Poor kid PK! He used to really struggle – both physically and mentally – to “fit in” the majority social structure.
Whatever is the minority in the society – left-handedness or mental illness or queerness – it is always frowned upon, looked down upon.
As if these minors are responsible for their so-called “defects”.
Room-Mate is a satirical take on this social mentality towards the minority.
It is a very short film and hence talking much about it would be giving away the suspense.
The end is really funny – but more importantly – thought provoking.
It is a story of Antony and his room-mate, who are students living at a hostel.
Both of them face social outcasting by the others in subtle forms – be it eve-teasing or being the fun-topic among friends or taking videos of the two and making them public.
Both Antony and his roommate hence take the decision to move out of the hostel and stay in a private room.
Social outcasting makes any person loose self-confidence. The person begins to doubt oneself.
What if there is indeed a “defect” in me?
What if this thing is indeed a “disease”?
The person internally goes through lot of mental torture – anxiety, nervousness, embarrassment, guilt and shame.
All this might easily lead to feeling of self-hatred.
The relationship between Antony and his room-mate is delightfully portrayed.
Both of them feel so relaxed when around each other. They share their inner feelings comfortably with each other. They are connected by their “defect”, by their misfortune.
The story and the direction is really tight and crisp.
A beautiful, melodious song in the middle adds to the cinematic effect aptly.
There is small mention of handicapped people in between – which I felt was in a bad taste.
They could have easily avoided it and taken some other example – like left-handed people – to make their point. | 2019-04-22T22:09:50Z | http://story.lgbtq.co.in/2018/05/14/moviereview02-roommate-12-minutes/ |

Dry skin can affect any part of your body. It commonly affects hands, arms, and legs. In many cases, lifestyle changes and over-the-counter moisturizers may be all you need to treat it. If those treatments aren’t enough, you should contact your doctor.
Exposure to dry weather conditions, hot water, and certain chemicals can cause your skin to dry out. Dry skin can also result from underlying medical conditions.
Dermatitisis the medical term for extremely dry skin. There are several different types of dermatitis.
Contact dermatitis develops when your skin reacts to something it touches, causing localized inflammation.
Irritant contact dermatitis can occur when your skin’s exposed to an irritating chemical agent, such as bleach.
Allergic contact dermatitis can develop when your skin is exposed to a substance you’re allergic to, such as nickel.
Seborrheic dermatitisoccurs when your skin produces too much oil. It results in a red and scaly rash, usually on your scalp. This type of dermatitis is common in infants.
Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It’s a chronic skin condition that causes dry scaly patches to appear on your skin. It’s common among young children.
Other conditions, such as psoriasis and type 2 diabetes, can also cause your skin to dry out.
Age. Older adults are more likely to develop dry skin. As you age, your pores naturally produce less oil, raising your risk of dry skin.
Medical history. You’re more likely to experience eczema or allergic contact dermatitis if you have a history of these conditions or other allergic diseases in your family.
Season. Dry skin is more common during the fall and winter months, when humidity levels are relatively low. In the summer, higher levels of humidity help stop your skin from drying out.
Bathing habits. Taking frequent baths or washing with very hot water raises your risk of dry skin.
Your doctor’s recommended treatment plan will depend on the cause of your dry skin.
In some cases, they may refer you to a skin specialist or dermatologist. Along with lifestyle remedies, they may recommend over-the-counter or prescription ointments, creams, or lotions to treat your symptoms.
It’s also important to choose the right kind of moisturizer for your skin type. If your skin is extremely dry, look for a petrolatum-based product.
You might consider switching to a lighter, water-based lotion during the summer months if your skin becomes less dry then. Lotions that contain grapeseed oil and antioxidants can also help trap water in your skin.
If you experience occasional dry skin, you can likely prevent and treat it using simple lifestyle changes and over-the-counter moisturizers. If you develop severe dry skin, make an appointment with your doctor.
If left untreated, dermatitis can get worse. Early treatment will help you to feel comfortable sooner. It will also lower your risk of complications, such as open wounds from scratching and skin infections. | 2019-04-25T04:41:14Z | https://www.healthline.com/health/dry-skin |
No cigarette manufacturer is going to see a bright side to going dark but Ian Hughes, affinity development manager for specialist insurance brokers Bluefin, is positively upbeat about it.
He says that going dark reduces sales on average by 5%. But using the space effectively can result in higher margins.
If you can afford a single dispense unit such as Cherwell’s, only one pack at a time can be accessed – and that goes for the crooks too. They’ll be there all night trying to pinch the goods. So overnight security is vastly improved. And with an overhead gantry system such as Expottuto’s Servertab, you have all that space that the old gantry took up to display better margin lines.
Bluefin is currently negotiating with insurers to reduce premiums for those who take suchmeasures.
I know Ian Hughes is Mr. Insurance, but his points are very good: the manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors etc, just want to sell more ciggies. None of them consider security as part of the mix. | 2019-04-22T22:04:19Z | http://www.expotutto.com/window-of-opportunity/ |
Arthur Saunders and Hazel Wheeler Crouch Hawkes: After the power plant at the mouth of American Fork Canyon began operations in 1907 there were a lot of Power Plant Operators who came to Highland but stayed only briefly. Arthur Hawkes was one of those, arriving in 1936 but not heard of or mentioned again. They must have lived at the power plant (#71) since there were four homes there.
Arthur was born February 20, 1898, in Park City, Utah to Samuel Mercer and Emilie Marie Andrasen Jule Hawkes. Hazel was born July 24, 1904, in Fremont, Idaho to John Henry and Almira Wilson Crouch. They were married September 10, 1920, in Fremont, Idaho and had two children: Deon Lucille and Donald Thomas.
In 1920, 1930 and 1935 they were living in Fremont, Idaho and in 1940 in Pleasant View, Utah. In 1942 when Arthur registered for the WWII draft they were living in Provo and he was working for Utah Power and Light. Arthur died June 10, 1969, in Salt Lake City and Hazel died October 16, 1987, also in Salt Lake City and they are buried in the Brigham City Cemetery. | 2019-04-18T23:06:31Z | https://www.highlandcity.org/index.aspx?NID=764 |
Technological change has always posed a challenge for companies. But, as we saw once again in 2015, it has never occurred as rapidly, or on as large a scale, as today. As innovation sweeps across virtually every sector, from heavy industry to services, it is transforming the competitive landscape, with the most advanced companies—rather than the largest or most established players—coming out on top.
For incumbents, the threat of displacement is very real. The average tenure of a company on the S&P 500 has fallen from 90 years in 1935 to less than 18 years today. Disruptive new players like Uber, which has upended the taxi industry, are tough competitors, often staking out market share by shifting more surplus to consumers. This is part of a broader trend of intensifying competition that, according to recent research from the McKinsey Global Institute, could reduce the global after-tax profit pool from almost 10% of global GDP today to its 1980 level of about 7.9% within a decade.
The effect of technology on competition arises largely from the power of digital platforms and network effects. New digital platforms reduce marginal costs (the cost of producing additional units of a good or service) to nearly zero. Adding, say, a Google Maps user carries negligible costs, because the service relies on GPS location data that is already stored on a user’s phone. This allows Google to scale incredibly quickly, and then to leverage this scale (and the convenience of having a single platform) to move into adjacent sectors—such as music (Google Play), payment (Google Wallet), and word processing (Google Docs). In this manner, tech firms can quickly come to challenge incumbents in seemingly unrelated industries.
Of course, tech firms are not the only ones innovating. A handful of leading firms in practically every industry are deploying digital technology in increasingly sophisticated ways—and seeing huge benefits. The use of sensors to monitor livestock, for example, has far-reaching implications for the food industry.
But the most digitally advanced sectors show the greatest progress. Indeed, over the past 20 years, profit margins in these tech-infused sectors have grown two-three times faster, on average, than in the rest of the economy. Even within the most advanced sectors, there is a yawning gap between the top-performing companies and the rest of the pack. For example, the retail offerings of digitally advanced multinational banks far outstrip those of local credit unions.
As technology transforms business models and processes, it is also changing the way employees work. Recent McKinsey research finds that already-proven technologies could automate as much as 45% of the tasks individuals are currently paid to perform. In the US alone, that is the equivalent of about $2 trillion in annual wages.
The potential benefits of this transformation for companies extend far beyond cost savings, as workers gain time to pursue more valuable tasks involving critical thinking and creativity. Financial advisers can spend less time analysing financials and more time developing solutions that meet clients’ needs. Or interior decorators can shift their attention from taking measurements to devising design concepts, meeting with clients, or sourcing materials.
Technology also allows companies to rethink conventional wisdom on organizational design and governance. New information-sharing technologies deliver greater transparency, making organizations more efficient and, in many cases, less hierarchical.
For example, the CEOs of Apple, Inditex (a multinational clothing company) and Zappos (a large online retailer) have adopted broad spans of control (the number of subordinates directly reporting to a manager) that far exceed the traditional model of “one to four to eight". Haier, the Chinese white-goods manufacturer, reorganized its 80,000-person workforce into 2,000 independent units, each responsible for managing its own profits and losses. Since the move, its market capitalization has soared, tripling from 2011 to 2014.
Moreover, digitization allows companies to operate as “platforms", not structures, and make greater use of resources outside their company. Insurance company Allstate used the crowdsourcing platform Kaggle to invite programmers to develop a new car accident injury algorithm; the eventual “winner" was 271% more accurate than its existing model.
Likewise, China’s DJI became the world’s largest drone manufacturer by focusing on its products’ core technology, while giving away developer kits for free online so that others could build apps. This approach meant that DJI’s drones were equipped with attractive features far earlier than competitors’ products, which relied on in-house app development.
Similar technology-driven innovations in thought processes and business models can be seen across the economy, reflected in changes in companies’ planning processes. Some have begun creating separate business plans with two-month and 20-year views, reallocating their resources more aggressively, and using new analytical techniques to identify, attract, develop and retain talent.
Technological innovation enables—indeed, requires—companies to boost their agility and thus their competitiveness. That’s why CEOs’ top priorities in 2016 should be to digitize the core components of their business and rethink organizational design and governance processes. Catching this fast-moving—and rapidly growing—“digital wave" is the only way to avoid getting left behind. | 2019-04-18T12:27:56Z | https://www.livemint.com/Opinion/MEcqNKyaxUyZqy8kQyyULI/Dominic-Barton--Catching-the-digital-wave.html |
In the dead heat of summer, few things sound as good as an ice cream cone, sundae, or frozen yogurt. If a summer treat company has a cool, refreshing cafe logo, they can be sure that their parlors will be full during the warm weather months. Here are some ice cream and frozen yogurt shop logos from well-known establishments that entice customers with their use of color, shape, and image.
This well known national chain has one key brand element that is represented in their logo: their offering of thirty-one flavors. Their logo is in a blue and pink color meant to appeal to the young and the young at heart, while the thick, slightly tilted letters also convey a child-like image. In a clever way, the B and R that are the store’s initials also make a ‘31’, which refers to the store’s number of available flavors. This logo is well-recognized throughout the United States and even the world, making it an effective branding element. Read about the Baskin Robins logo makeover.
This fast food establishment offers a full line of foods but is best known for their ice cream treats. The logo is not just an eye-catching red, but in the shape of lips. The arc-like waves are not just a symbol of movement and change; the orange wave above the lettering represents the company’s hot foods, while the blue wave below represents the cold treats. These tie into the company tagline: Hot Eats, Cool Treats. The change in branding from Dairy Queen to DQ is also reflected in this branding, as the company’s initials are front and center in an italicized font.
This logo avoids the cute and childish, instead presenting the brand as a grown-up treat that people of all ages can enjoy. The black, gold, and white color palette is sophisticated, while the banner like shape of the logo suggests quality and excellence. The letters are bold with serifs, making the company appear large and substantial. However, the logo has small imperfections that make it appear homemade, hinting at the artisanal nature of the ice cream.
This ice cream shop is a current favorite due to the almost infinite number of flavor combinations that customers can custom create. The logo has a classic color scheme for casual restaurants: red and yellow. The writing is bold with serifs, but there are a few swirls and long serifs to add interest. An inclusive circle holds a swirling ice cream cone in one of the chain’s signature waffle cones. This logo might be more personal to the company if it somehow—outside of the name, that is—communicated the aspect that makes the company so popular—the cold stone slab on which the ice cream is mixed.
This ice cream store promises the country’s best yogurt, but the logo screams traditional ice cream shop. From the red lettering to the thick letters to the ice cream cone beside the name, this logo incorporates many elements that are generally seen in establishments offering less healthy treats. Because most frozen yogurt buyers want a frozen treat that tastes like traditional ice cream without the drawbacks, this similarity to other logos may be one successful part of the branding.
This frozen yogurt shop has gained quite a following despite being located in only a few cities, partially due to the healthier nature of its products. The less sweetened yogurt is tangier than the average frozen treat and a variety of healthy toppings such as fresh fruit and granola are available for the health conscious consumer to choose from. The logo shows this value with a primarily green color, as this is a hue generally associated with plants and healthy foods. The image to the right of the words features the pink berry for which the chain is named, in a round, friendly shape.
This ice cream is different from others because it is deep frozen into tiny balls that melt into ice cream as they are eaten. The logo is in soft, pastel colors with casual lower case writing. Pastel dots refer to the nature of the product while also forming a friendly, inclusive circle. The tagline is written at the bottom: ‘the ice of the future’. It is impossible to look at this logo and not understand that this ice cream is different from the competition, making it a clear winner.
This regional ice cream chain offers the same playful blue and pink color scheme as many other frozen treat shops, but with a key difference. The colors are used as outlining on otherwise white letters that are in a thick, traditional font with serifs. To the right is a soft serve ice cream cone with sprinkles arcing toward it in a wave-like shape that connotes movement and growth. Because this company is constantly growing and offering new products and locations, this is a very appropriate image.
This ice cream shop offers the familiar pink and blue colors, but in a circular shape that is friendly and inviting. The cow that is the central character of the store is in the center of the circle smiling. The playful lettering appeals to children and families, while the use of a character is a good branding move for these audiences as well. The use of ‘treatery’ in the name rather than ‘eatery’ is a play on words that makes the store all the more inviting.
Like Dairy Queen and other ice cream stores, Foster’s Freeze offers a full line of fast food products. However, the company focus is on the ice cream as well as the general retro experience of the store. The logo retains the inviting fifties image with old-fashioned cursive writing while the wording ‘old fashion’ further portray’s this image. The ice cream cone character resembles the soft serve cone that is the establishment’s best known product, while adding more retro charm. The deep blue color palette is cool and inviting. | 2019-04-24T23:48:46Z | https://www.spellbrand.com/top-10-ice-cream-shop-logos |
lol with the leightons: New Year? New Rule.
I made up a “new rule” for our Casa. For, specifically, My Sweet Hubby (MSH).
If you’re going to tell me to read an article you found in the newspaper? You have to have read it first. All of it.
For the one-millionth time, MSH, (and, actually, TLC), I am not a hoarder. Pack Rat? Possibly. Certainly not a hopeless one. Let’s say I’m a Sorta-Semi-Pack-Rat, okay?
I asked MSH if he’d read the article. No, he said. I didn’t.
He was promptly informed about the NEW RULE.
Since it’s a New Year? This, I believe, was perfect timing. | 2019-04-24T14:26:12Z | http://www.lolwiththeleightons.com/2015/01/new-year-new-rule.html |

Most people are aware of the important role that vitamin D plays in overall health but many are not aware of how vitamin C works to prevent cancer.
Add more fiber to your diet to boost your immune system against the risk of cancer.
Fiber, often called bulk or roughage is the part of grains, fruits, and vegetables that your body cannot digest. It helps move food through your digestive tract, playing a key role in keeping it clean and healthy by removing any cancer-causing compounds before they create harm.
Brassicas are considered the world’s healthiest vegetables. They are a family of vegetables known for their disease fighting benefits and many know them by their more common name: cruciferous vegetables.
Just like most vegetables, they are low in calories, sodium and fat, a good source of fiber and a wealthy source of essential vitamins and minerals and are some of the best defenses against disease for adults.
Nearly all nuts pack a potent punch when it comes to nutrition and provide our bodies with an impressive list of essential nutrients and antioxidants.
Nuts offer the healthy kinds of fats and they are high in protein. They are also high in monounsaturated fats that help to lower cholesterol and soluble fiber which also helps by lowering cholesterol, regulating bowels and has recently been shown to lower the amount of fat stored in the abdominal area. In research done over 5 years, for every 10 grams of soluble fiber consumed, belly fat was decreased by 3.7%…pretty impressive.
It is well known that elevated blood sugar is the precursor to diabetes but what is not so well known is the fact that glucose or insulin levels are also risk factors for cancers and the risk rises as insulin levels rise.
Insulin is the hormone that instructs the body’s cells to uptake glucose from the blood-stream but when the cells have all they can handle they shut the door and won’t let anymore in. | 2019-04-21T07:03:54Z | http://justsaynotocancer.com/articles/2014/11/ |

In September 2010 the first Belvedere group to be offered classes in Mandarin and Chinese culture began their studies. The course was heavily oversubscribed and now there are twenty students in the class. They hope to continue their classes for at least four years and possibly longer if a Leaving Certificate examination in Chinese Studies is introduced. In the case of Belvedere, securing a partner school for a student exchange was a primary objective.
On 11th October the Irish principals arrived in Beijing and paid a visit to the headquarters of the Confucius Institute in the afternoon. Dr. Liming Wang, director of UCD Confucius Institute for Ireland and Mr. Wang Feng, programme manager in charge of the communication affairs of Confucius Institute, welcomed the delegation and introduced them to the headquarter’s mission and running programmes.
The Irish delegation attended the seminar on Chinese and Irish Secondary Education on 12th October. Communicating a real enthusiasm to develop possible twinning projects and exchange programs, 12 Chinese principals introduced their schools and warmly invited Irish principals to visit their school. A special demonstration of Chinese language class was organized for the delegation on the 13th October, so that they could have a better understanding of the process of learning and teaching languages. The demonstration was held in the College of International Education of Minzu University of China (MUC).
After the demonstration, Mr. Yinghui Wu, Dean of the College of International Education, introduced the department of ‘Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language’ and international students in MUC. He also invited students from Ireland to study in China after graduating from secondary schools. Two students from Belvedere College SJ have already benefitted from a scholarship for a month’s study in Shanghai University during the summer, at the end of Transition Year. Mr. Foley the Headmaster visited School 80, one of the most respected state schools in Beijing. There, he and Tian Shulin, the Principal, established an exchange for students to commence in March 2011. To have an in-depth idea of how Chinese secondary schools are running, the Irish delegation also paid a visit to Beijing New Talent Academy. It’s an internationalized boarding institute integrating kindergarten, elementary school, junior & senior high school,the Cambridge International Centre university foundation program and the Chinese language program.
Apart from educational visits and academic seminars, Irish principals also paid visits to the Forbidden City (whose entrance is pictured here), the Great Wall, Olympic Stadiums and other historical scenic spots in Beijing. The delegation travelled to Shanghai on the 16th October and visited the Chinese and Irish pavilions in the Shanghai Expo venue. | 2019-04-19T20:35:43Z | https://www.jesuit.ie/news/belvederes-chinese-connection-2/ |
Can you believe week six of school is already coming to a close? It seems like just yesterday freshman were moving in and it was syllabus week. Currently we are in the middle of mid-terms and it is a stressful time on campus. People are rushing about from class to class, studying, and working on those projects that are due in the coming weeks. But that is okay, there is only a week left in mid-term season and life on campus will be back to normal.
All the hours studying this semester have made me think about my three favorite places to study on campus, and I thought I would share them with you!
GSIS Building: There is a lounge in the GSIS building with couches and tables for students to relax and study at. It is one of the newer buildings on campus and is normally pretty quit during the day (except when classes are transitioning). Perfect if you want to be left alone to study or do homework.
Everyone I have talked to has different places they prefer to study but these are my top picks. Hope these help you find your quiet place to study, and ace your mid-terms. I wish everyone brains as they continue through mid-term season, it will be over soon!
My name is Marquette Davis and I studied abroad in the United Kingdom for one month in the summer of 2016. Although this program is called a study abroad in England, I say the United Kingdom because in the month that we were there, we were not just in England. We had the opportunity to explore the entire United Kingdom. Many of the locals we met told us, upon hearing our travel plans for the month, we would get to see more of England and more of the UK than they had ever seen and they had lived there their entire lives. Traveling to the big city of London and the small seaside towns of Northern England and Scotland and the historic cities Newcastle, Edinburgh, and Bath, and the scenic towns of Wales, we took part in an awesome adventure all over the United Kingdom. And the greatest part about it was that we could personalize it because we were in our own van. And the second greatest part about it was that we probably walked as many miles as we drove, which made for some incredible and unusual sightseeing.
Aside from the wonder of all the travel and the cultural experiences we got to partake in, the different foods we tried and the various people we met, it was an intellectually stimulating experience. Completing seven credit hours in one month, every day was busy with classes and homework. Classroom and lab times were never boring and the small class setting made each penny per credit worthwhile. Be warned, however, that the work load was not for the faint of heart. One of the greatest lessons I learned while in England was how to seize the day and make the most of my experiences, meanwhile completing a semester’s worth of school work in four weeks. Sleep became a secondary need. I made the most of my time there and maintained a pleasing grade and still did not have any regrets about any missed opportunities. Even as we traveled, we lived and breathed what we had learned in our classes, making them all the more worthwhile and exciting.
In addition, we were in the United Kingdom at the time of the mass shooting in Orlando and at the time of the Brexit vote by which the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union. With these events occurring, we were able to experience how a massive tragedy in the U.S. is globally affective. Walking the streets of London, we even came across a banner that read, “We Stand with Orlando.” And we were able to see firsthand the reaction of the UK people to a major national event. Needless to say, with these events taking place and our presidential election upon us, the English people were eager to know our political stances on several issues, including gun laws, nationalism, and Trump/Bernie/Hilary, and they were eager to share their opinions on their own national issues. I had the pleasure, for example, escaping the rain one evening in Bath, to talk to the manager of a shoe store for a brief time who excitedly conversed with me over British and American politics.
This brings me to my next point. Of all the amazing history and incredible places we saw, it was the people that I will remember most and hold most dear to my heart. Granted I came across more rude people than I had ever encountered, but the good outweighed the bad. I will always remember the three locals we shared jokes with at the smallest pub in the UK; the friendly Chinese couple I listened to one of our students practice her Chinese with during high tea on the Thames River; the kind French girl who led our horseback ride along the beach in Inverary, Scotland; the professors at our host university; all our friendly waiters and waitresses; the pub owner who helped us struggle through the Welsh word “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch” for extra credit; the employees of Dunollie Castle who allowed us to conduct a crime scene investigation in the middle of their work day and even participated as witnesses and interviewees; and all others who took our pictures, gave us directions, or made friendly conversation with us on the buses, trains, and planes along the way. I am particularly grateful and would like to give a shout out to the employees of United who were so helpful to me in the airport when I had issues with my flights and had to find my way home. And lastly, in the month I was in England, together in good times and in bad, I developed a relationship with my fellow students and with our professor that I will always cherish. Above all the experiences and sights, it is these people that I will hold dear when I remember my study abroad.
From my study abroad experience, I gained seven credits toward my degree, friendships I will always be able to turn to with my fellow students, and a mentor that I truly respect in my professor. In addition, as a GSIS student, I achieved my first international experience that I believe has opened the door to many more international travels and potential career opportunities. I discovered the path I want to take in my degree program by taking Interviewing Techniques and Forensic Science and finding out what I really enjoyed to do. I grew as a person, figuring out my way through a foreign country and culture with a group of people that were mostly strangers to me before the study abroad, and was exposed to the diversity that exists just between two English speaking western cultures, really opening my eyes to the incredible diversity that exists globally.
I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to study in England in the summer of 2016. I will never forget my time there and will eternally appreciate all the incredible experiences.
I’m Trupti Mahendrakar from Bangalore, India. Exploring and innovating is my passion. I joined Riddle in Fall 2015. Since then till now, I was encouraged and motivated to do what I like. Professor’s here are so helpful. The entire institution makes me feel at home. My first semester here, I came up with an idea of making Graphene based composites. Later, I got to know that the University encourages and funds student researches through Ignite or Undergraduate Research Institute (URI). All I had to do was to find a Professor who can help me with my project and find a group of people who are interested. Thus, I started Alternate Composite Team (ACT).
Here are some pictures of me and my team working. It may not look fun but remember “Appearance can be deceptive.” So come on over and try it yourself.
I am officially signing off for good. It has been an awesome four years blogging for all of our readers out there but, its time to go!! I am happy to say that I have a job now, in the “real world” as the professors at ERAU like to call it.
As some of you know from my previous blogs I got my job through AFROTC, which I was involved in over the last 4 years at Riddle. It is a great program and if you are willing to give it a shot you can learn a lot about yourself while securing a future position in the Air Force. Not everyone makes it through but, boy does it feel good if you are one of the lucky ones who does!
Summer is a great time where free time is not scarce. However if you don’t plan it well it can become really boring after a couple of weeks.
My summer started in May right after I finished my hardest test, Themes and Humanities. An English class can be quite challenging. That day I came straight home and I fell sleep for about 12 hours until the next day. Some people go out dinner, others go out to party, others start driving back home, I just wanted to sleep. I was exhausted.
I was busy to hanging out, going to the lake to do nothing other than lay down at the shore, and I started playing chess again at the Prescott Public Library (By the way, those elder men know how play chess, I didn’t win one single game.) —-The remaining 2 months is a story for another time.
I realize that having fun and doing what you love is as important as getting good grades. I started thinking “How I could stop doing what I love to do?” I came to conclusion that there has to be a balance between college and time for yourself and this year as a sophomore, I am going to find this balance. | 2019-04-21T14:33:06Z | https://riddlenationaz.erau.edu/category/2016-2017/ |

We didn’t think Roy Moore would exit the scene, quietly or otherwise, after his loss to Doug Jones in last year’s U.S. Senate special election.
The former Alabama chief justice and his wife recently filed a second volley of lawsuits against people and entities they claim wronged them during the Senate campaign.
Defendants include the Highway 31 Super PAC, which was set up to back Jones and oppose Moore, and the political strategist and attorney who were behind it; four other political advocacy and communications firms; and a couple of political consultants.
They are accused of wantonness (gratuitous maliciousness, according to one dictionary), defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and loss of consortium (deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship, because the Moores can’t go out in public peacefully).
They say they’ve suffered damage to their reputations, financial damages and emotional anguish; that Roy Moore has wrongly suffered “public contempt” and that the defendants contributed to his losing the race despite his investment of time, resources and efforts; and that his chances of being elected to office in the future have been damaged.
The Moores’ first round of suits, in April, were against four women who accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct toward them when they were teenagers in Etowah County, and a man who allegedly helped The Washington Post develop stories about those cases. The Moores accuse the defendants of defamation and causing lack of consortium, and of being part of a liberal conspiracy to keep Moore out of the Senate.
Lawyers for those defendants already have filed motions seeking to have those cases dismissed.
Under New York Times v. Sullivan, a public figure — Roy Moore is one and given her active role in his campaigns, his defense and his foundation, his wife likely would qualify, too — must prove actual malice to have grounds for a defamation or libel case.
That’s a significant obstacle to clear.
Anyone who’s watched Roy Moore’s political career knows his campaigns are like an endless loop of “Onward Christian Soldiers,” in which he’s going on before with the cross to do battle and save the U.S. and Alabama from the Philistines.
It’s deflating to be rejected when you think you’re an agent of God’s will. Perhaps at some point the Moores will come to terms with their supposed destiny being unfulfilled. | 2019-04-24T19:03:11Z | http://gm5-daweb.newscyclecloud.com/news/20180807/editorial-not-surprisingly-moores-are-not-exiting-quietly?rssfeed=true |
A really lovely Late 19th Century Antique English Victorian Cut Glass Vase of trumpet form and of unsurpassed quality, the diamond cut panels of the body divided by a plain lower and a gilded upper band, the latter beautifully etched with flowers and arabesques. A really heavy piece of glass, rising from a star cut, round, reeded edge base, filled with fresh cut flowers, this is the perfect accessory to complement that period sideboard or table.

All right-minded people would agree that gathering data through seemingly innocent and simple questions and interfaces, analysing and interpreting that data to gain a view on behaviour and wants is fine, but that using that data to inform and drive unrelated and unlinked conditions and experiences of peoples’ lives is completely unacceptable.
But I wonder if up until the point that they ‘removed’ the data from Facebook that all Cambridge Analytica did was exploit human behaviour – you know - our own inherent laziness and weakness?
Let’s start with trying to understand if the majority of people really care if what they see as ‘harmless’ personal data is used for various unrelated news, opinion and content creation and curation. If I were to ask anyone in the street to tell me what their favourite colour, animal, country and food are and that I would then be able to influence every political decision they make over the next 6 months – they would basically laugh in my face.
I mean - it’s completely and utterly absurd, an individuals’ political beliefs are just that – there is no way that would influence any final decision an individual made - right? So why would an individual care if companies try and use harmless data for other means – they are not going to fall for that.
But that’s the accusation aimed at Cambridge Analytica and Facebook.
How about adding to the harmlessness of ‘soft’ data - the inherent human condition of laziness?
Sure, there are a very many number of people to which the complexities of the issues facing society politically, economically and culturally are understood and of great concern. Many of these are well informed and take a deep interest in these subjects – going out of their way to educate themselves to make sure that they have visibility of the full picture.
But there are a huge majority of people that do not spend a huge amount of time working through detail – life gets in the way - and this where you could actually argue that Cambridge Analytica were being smart - playing on the fact that they knew that the vast majority of people were lazy and didn’t like reading long winded newspaper articles. They then identified that Facebook as the ideal place for people to be able to see ‘news’ in a very passive way.
They know that Social Media in general doesn't just play on peoples' desire to be social but in many cases their laziness and inertia - after all it is an ever scrolling world of indifference. They know that this plays straight into the hands of those that are able to gain access to levels of personal information and have the ability to constantly refine messages until they hit a nerve. - like Cambridge Analytica.
This isn’t insight gained through analytical excellence - it’s a very simple understanding of human behaviour and laziness - which you can gain by talking to anyone over a drink.
So, we therefore have the following inputs into an algorithm - harmless data and human laziness.
Now we add groupthink laziness. Just as the Remain campaign were lazy and didn’t challenge the Brexit camp openly enough, so the Democrats really didn’t believe that Trump could win and consequently waged the wrong campaign. Or at least didn’t push their messages across in the right way to connect with the lower educated or lazy groups (quote from Mr Mike Rundle).
Asking for and taking harmless personal data.
Allows you to identify and define the level of manipulation/content required to influence.
An algorithm as old as time because - however long the circumference - life and civilisation goes in circles. The Athenians and the ancient Chinese (specifically the Han dynasty) - knew that playing on people's inertia can create a false sense of dependency and trust allowing messages and influence to be (depending on individual opinion) manipulated.
Putin knows this, Cambridge Analytica know this, Mark Zuckerberg knows this - and today although the delivery method has changed - the algorithm is the same as it ever was. | 2019-04-24T01:56:01Z | http://www.davemcrobbie.co.uk/blog/2018/3/24/the-real-algorithm-that-cambridge-analytica-used-and-our-part-in-it |

Amen and Amen! More than just “enough” – He is ALL! Well said Milt! May His bride be ever increased and His Name be elevated to the Highest!
I was convicted just this morning how radical and revolutionary the early church was because of their devotion to the Lord Jesus. They knew who was central to their gospel, who it was that made them radically countercultural as they confronted their culture with (the one who is) the Truth… I was watching the Olympics pushing us (U.S.) to take pride in our culture. I was reminded that we’ve got to truly live as the aliens and strangers we are within this culture, living as the ambassadors of the King of a different kingdom than the kingdoms of this world. When Christ truly is enough his church is radically countercultural. Thanks Milt… Right on.
Great post by Milt! Thanks for re-posting Donnalee. Some years ago I posted a blog ‘Christ Is Enough,’ and then updated it with ‘Christ, More Than Enough’ – both sprang out of our South African experience/context, and received more visits than most of my other blogs.
Beautiful, powerful post, Milt. I need to be constantly reminded to set my face as a flint and be enraptured by the face of Christ. The ekklesia loves and misses you. | 2019-04-19T07:28:36Z | https://miltrodriguez.wordpress.com/2016/08/11/is-christ-enough-power-and-wisdom/ |

GSES recently gave a presentation at the APVI workshop in Brisbane as part of the International Battery Association conference. The presentation considered the drivers of battery storage, possible future business models, and the impacts on generators.
This article was collectively authored by Jono Pye (who gave the presentation at APVI) and others in the GSES team.
There is no such thing as a ‘natural market’ when it comes to electricity – there is nothing natural about buying and selling electrons.
All electricity markets are designed around the technology available at the time, which up until now has been large centralised generators that are located close to their fossil fuel resource. The business models of generators, transmission/distribution companies and retailers are similarly based on the available technology (and existing market).
Distributed PV has already had a serious impact on presumed business models. It is constantly flagged that soon the price of batteries will fall to the point where distributed storage is common place. Such a dramatic shift in the technology of the electricity market promises to disrupt many of the incumbent players . Much has been written about the utility ‘death spiral’, in which utilities, facing a reduction in the use of their networks, will increase the unit cost of energy to make up their revenue, which in turn will increase the incentive for customers to use less energy.
2) that there is either no need for a back-up power source or that a grid connection is more expensive than a generator.
In suburban areas with houses powered by distributed PV with battery storage, there will still be the need for a grid and a utility to manage it. The question then becomes: how will distributed storage integrate into the current market?
To a large extent this will depend on which stakeholders in the industry retain ownership of the batteries; whether this ownership rests with private individuals, utilities or a new type of gentailer.
Privately owned systems present the greatest threat to utilities and retailers, as customers with these systems are theoretically able to provide all their own energy needs.
Although there will be a market for these systems, they will have a high upfront cost and leave the owner responsible for their maintenance and to pay for equipment failures in the system.
The group of customers that go down this path of self-ownership will be the early adopters; those that have been waiting eagerly for the price of batteries to drop to a point they can exploit their PV systems to their full potential, and be completely self-reliant.
Distributed storage will allow customers to leave the grid entirely.
The role of a utility is to provide the infrastructure required for consumers to have access to electricity – batteries could be viewed as a simple extension of this infrastructure.
Utilities could provide batteries at street level that were owned and operated by the utility, dispatching during peak times to reduce the demand and strain on their network.
How this would function with the wholesale electricity market (and the market rules) would be challenging, with the utilities themselves buying electricity during low periods to charge batteries, and using it to suppress demand during peaks.
Utilities could operate batteries either at a street or residential level.
Utilities could also provide batteries in the home. In this situation, the utility would retain ownership of the battery and lease its use to the customer. Customers could then choose how they utilise the system; either storing energy from their PV array, or from the grid during low demand.
Whatever the ownership model, in this new market there will still be a need for a back-up power source: to provide power for PV customers during periods of low irradiance, and to charge the batteries of those customers who do not have PV.
The purpose of an energy retailer is to buy energy from the wholesale market on a customer’s behalf and deliver it to their door, paying the network providers for their services along the way.
In order to ensure they can supply the required energy throughout the day, retailers either hold Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), or physically hedge themselves with their own fleet of generators. Coal traditionally supplies the baseline, with open and combined cycle gas turbines supplying the peaks.
In many ways, distributed storage can be thought of in the same way as a peaking generator. When a retailer acquires a new customer, instead of ensuring they have enough generation or futures contracts to cover the new demand, they will also have the option to install a storage system (either with or without PV).
Retailers will be able to provide customers with the energy they need through a mixture of battery storage, PV, and the wholesale market. This mixture can be optimised to suit either their generation assets or existing power purchase agreements.
The benefit to customers in this situation is that all risk and responsibility are carried by the retailer. Very little changes in the way the consumer must think of their energy consumption: being able to pay either a fixed monthly lease payment, or a tariff rate for their energy.
This model also provides Gentailers with an incentive to maintain the system and process equipment at its end of life, hopefully leading to responsible recycling and reclamation of these products.

Fast Frequency Service – Treating the symptom not the cause?
The National Electricity Market (NEM) is designed to operate at 50 Hz. Frequency deviation occurs when generation and load are mismatched. It is important in a lightly meshed and long network such as the NEM to maintain tight frequency control and that frequency response is available throughout the network.
After spending a day looking into the future (at prospective generation developments) I noted this reverse correlation between wind and volatility that’s been occurring over the week.
7 Comments on "Three Possible Business Models for Distributed Storage"
I think you are missing the other option that will be relevant in many locations. Community ownership can be considered a mix of private and utility ownership where the term “distributed” really comes into its own – and local smart-grids can implement the integration of all relevant options in the most economical way.
Local smart-grids (community or utility owned) will need to operate like the internet, where various levels of operation will occur to meet current conditions. As far as end-users are concerned, their power supplies should be seamlessly selected from the available supplies – via the transmission system or from local sources depending on availability, security and cost considerations.
There could be others evolve, as well – in the NEM there are a couple of Demand Response Aggregators operating in a variety of forms. It may be them that take the step of owning and dispatching the resources.
I think you raise a good point, local mini grids have many advantages and I think there is definite potential for these, particularly in rural areas. The business model will be much more of a complete energy provider, supplying both generation and distribution (gentility?). There is the potential for a large cost saving with this model, and I think it will become more common as the price of storage drops below distribution infrastructure costs.
just had to say that a co-op and that is what you are getting at will not work (sorry) no co-op works that good.
Stand alone is the only way to go. Generate your own power,store it in battery’s and use it when you need it.
Now generating power and have it on hand is the hard part so it seems I must admit that it could not be done however I have seen a genorator that works off a 12 volt system and genorates it’s own power running an inverter that runs this persons home. He made it in his shed.
It was something I had never seen before and I have been round for 1/2 a century. It really did work how I do not know! Will he make another one not sure! Will he sell it I can give the answer to that NO I tried to buy it but no way and I had to make sure I did not tell anyone his name or where he lives.
No co-op works that well?
I would have thought coops for electrons would suffer seriously with small scale operation due to the problem of peak demand and all electrons not being of the same value at varying times. The coop would clearly need to engage itself with demand management- ie smart meters and peak pricing and the investment and admin of that on a small scale may well prove the greatest hurdle, absent the economies of scale of Big Gen now.
As well we live in a mobile world and attaching a lien to my home via a street, block or whole suburb power coop would be one I’d have to carefully consider buying into. After all if I sell up and move, there’s no guarantee the next buyer wants to be shackled with my home’s power coop obligation. That would leave most to consider stand alone system economics only and their risk return should there be a change of plans and any forced move in future. Again Big Gen has the edge over any small scale coop there. | 2019-04-22T09:23:57Z | http://www.wattclarity.com.au/articles/2014/03/three-possible-business-models-for-distributed-storage/ |
3. Retailing in India Retailing in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for 14 to 15 per cent of its GDP. The Indian retail market is estimated to be US$ 450 billion and one of the top five retail markets in the world by economic value. India is one of the fastest growing retail markets in the world, with 1.2 billion people. Indian Retail is broadly divided into 2 categories viz. Unorganized Retail and Organized retail In the year 2004, ratio of organized-Unorganized retail was 3:97 which is expected to be 9:91 by 2013.
4. Unorganized Retail includes the local kirana shops, owner manned general stores, paan/beedi shops, convenience stores, hand cart, etc On the other hand, organized retail comprises of hypermarkets and retail chains, Shopping malls etc.
5. Deloitte Says! Organized retail, which constitutes 8 per cent of the total retail market, will grow much faster than traditional retail. It is expected to gain a higher share in the growing pie of the retail market in India. Various estimates put the share of organized retail as 20 per cent by 2020.
6. Retail Market India The Indian retail industry has experienced growth of 10.6% between 2010 and 2012 and is expected to increase to USD 750-850 billion by 2015. Food and Grocery is the largest category within the retail sector with 60 per cent share followed by Apparel and Mobile segment.
7. Retail Market India (contd…) Within the organized retail sector, Apparel is the largest segment. “Food and Grocery” and “Mobile and telecom” are the other major contributors to this segment.
11. The trading environment Most consumers take as little as 3 seconds to pass the entrance to your business. The frontage and fascia, the windows and the displays all need to arrest the customers attention. This is why so much investment is made into new shop fronts because if the business looks exciting, then there is a likelihood that the customer will come in and seek more information about your products and services.
13. Factors affecting consumer behavior Greed: Drives a customer to purchase more than what he or she need. A wide range of options, better products, and lower prices generate the increased desire to purchase. Fear to loose opportunity: Higher purchase is driven by the fear that current price offer may not be available for long-time and thus the product has to be purchased at once. Envy or Demonstration Effect: Envy sets in when a customer sees others buying and making the best out of deal. Price-value Equation: It is believed that Average Indian customer is highly PriceSensitive and looks for savings in terms of money in their grocery purchase. Private-Label Brands: In India the concept of Private-Label Brand is in its nascent stage and customers still rely on branded product.
14. Some key observations Lower income Indians feel alienated in the shiny environment of modern retail stores. Lower income Indians move and find lot of comfort in crowds, so they normally hesitate in visiting the stores having broader area coverage. It is observed during the research that given the right environment and a correct emotional connect with customers, anything is possible , as Big Bazaar did by celebrating “Sabse Sasta Din” , on 26th January and attracted the unexpected crowd. Customers feel conservative to buy fruits & Vegetable from air-conditioned supermarkets. Customers looked into Price-Value equation. Most of the retailers report that customers were very much conscious for the value, and they usually compared the value sacrificed & received.
15. Some key observations (contd…) Retailers often overlook the schemes & offerings expected by the customers and tried to impose their own offerings upon customers which ultimately cause the dissatisfaction. Shopkeepers dealing in apparels, accessories, & other items reported that they were able to attract the Customers but conversion rate is not more than 30-40% which is again very alarming and a matter of high concern. Shopkeepers dealing in food items & Vegetables report that: Customers for food items always expect hyper discounts & offers. Where as customers for vegetables still believe in the past notion that vegetables sold in the open market are fresh. Shopkeepers dealing in jewelry items reported that in case of unbranded jewelry items Indian customers still rely on their traditional jewelry merchant only. | 2019-04-22T00:48:16Z | https://www.slideshare.net/rahulwane/consumer-behavior-in-organized-retail |

Leaders fall victim to biting satire which has become a hilarious German carnival tradition with people also singing songs that send up the rich and powerful.
A GIANT model of Donald Trump being assaulted by a enormous Russian bear has been paraded through a German city.
But the US President was not the only the leader to be lampooned at the world’s most cheeky carnival.
The mind boggles... quite what the thin-skinned Donald Trump will think of this?
The Rose Monday carnival, which takes place every year across southern and western Germany, feature satirical floats that mock the political power brokers of the day.
But the floats in Düsseldorf are considered particularly provocative compared to those in other German cities.
Here Britain’s leader did not escape a satirical savaging with a float that pulled no punches on her political career.
An ecstatic looking Theresa May was portrayed giving birth to what appears to be a hideously deformed Brexit baby.
Meanwhile German leader Angela Merkel is not spared.
The politician, who is struggling to form a coalition after a poor election result, is depicted as a Black Widow with the caption “Next Please”.
Bones of her political rivals surround her.
Rose Monday - or Rosenmontag - is marked before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent for many Christians.
But the history of carnival can be traced back to Germanic tribes who were celebrating the return of daylight as the end of winter nears. | 2019-04-20T21:17:29Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/2220604/germanys-rose-monday-parade-kicks-off-featuring-bizarre-floats-of-theresa-may-giving-birth-to-deformed-brexit-baby-and-donald-trump-being-assaulted-by-russian-bear/ |

Budapest, Hungary – 27 February 2012 – Gedeon Richter Plc. (“Richter”) announces today that the European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorization to Esmya® 5mg tablet as pre-operative treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids. This decision follows positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 16 December 2011 and is applicable for all Member States in the European Union.
The approval is based on the assessment of extensive pre-clinical data, quality data, and clinical data involving 498 subjects treated with Esmya®, which include data from the two Phase III pivotal clinical studies, PEARL I and PEARL II.
“Today’s approval of Esmya® means that thousands of patients suffering from fibroids across Europe will now have a new targeted approach for medical treatment of these benign tumours. Esmya® offers an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option, while avoiding the drawbacks of currently available therapies”, said Dr. Ernest Loumaye, Chief Executive Officer of PregLem.
“PEARL I and II clinical studies showed the benefits of Esmya® as a pre-surgical treatment for uterine fibroids in the rapid control of bleeding and reduction in fibroid size. These will help patients to be in a better condition for the surgery and possibly have a minimal invasive surgery” added Prof. Jacques Donnez, lead investigator in PEARL I and II.
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign, solid tumours of the female genital tract, affecting between 20 and 25% of women of reproductive age. It is estimated that about 300,000 surgical procedures are performed annually in the EU for uterine fibroids, including approximately 230,000 hysterectomies. The condition is characterized by excessive uterine bleeding, anaemia, pain, frequent urination or incontinence, and infertility. So far, GnRH agonists were the only approved pre-operative treatment for uterine fibroids and their use has been relatively limited due to side effects resulting from the suppression of oestrogen to post-menopausal levels (hot flashes, depression, mood swings, loss of libido, vaginitis and loss of bone mineral density).
Esmya® 5mg tablet containing ulipristal acetate is a first-in-class, orally active, selective progesterone receptor modulator. It reversibly blocks the progesterone receptors in target tissues. As recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine¹,²,³ the 12 weeks once-a-day oral therapy (vs. injectable GnRH agonist) is effective to stop uterine bleeding, correct anaemia and shrink fibroid volume. It improves quality of life and has no castration side effects unlike GnRH agonists. There are no data available on treatment with duration longer than 3 months.
Uterine bleeding was controlled in 90% of patients receiving ulipristal acetate 5 mg and in 98% of those receiving ulipristal acetate 10 mg, and in 89% of those receiving leuprolide acetate.- Excessive bleeding control was demonstrated with statistical significance to be more rapid in patients receiving either ulipristal acetate 5 mg or ulipristal acetate 10 mg, than in those receiving leuprolide acetate.
All treatments reduced the volume of the three largest fibroids, with median reductions at week 13 of 36% in the group receiving ulipristal acetate 5 mg, 42% in the group receiving ulipristal acetate 10 mg, and 53% in the group receiving leuprolide acetate.- For patients who did not undergo hysterectomy or myomectomy, ulipristal acetate showed a more sustained effect on the reduction of fibroids volume during the 6 months follow up without treatment than did leuprolide acetate.

Patent № 93979 SPIN CASTING SYSTEM WITH HORIZONTAL AXIS OF ROTATION (the priority from 21.06.2010).
The present invention relates to the production of castings, in particular rolls, by centrifugal method. A centrifugal casting machine with horizontal axis of rotation comprises a filling device, a carrying frame, support frames and support rollers, a mould, safety rolls mounted with a gap relative to rims for sliding of mould, a casing, two engines and an intermediate frame elastically mounted relative to the supporting frame in three directions and made with a seat for support frames in the form of a keyway, in the case elasticity in axial and transverse directions is provided by adjustable effort of tightening screw connections, and the safety rolls are located in pairs of support rolls on the carrying frame at the level of the center of gravity of the mould, and the engines are mounted on the carrying frame rigidly attached to the foundation, connected to the drive support rolls mounted elastically relative to the foundation through cardan shafts. The technical result: elimination of defects of castings by reducing vibration and beating mould, increasing service life of support rolls, facilitating access to the mechanisms of the system during maintenance works, reducing intensity of the noise. | 2019-04-25T13:45:56Z | http://nmtrolls.com/en/patents/38-patent-93979-mashina-s-gorizontalnoj-osyu-vrashcheniya-angl.html |
The man sitting behind me whispers the rosary and wheezes. He’s loud but it becomes a kind of background music.
The people in front of us are old. Older than we are. Most of them live in the senior housing across the street, so they walk. The children aren’t here this morning; with an afternoon Mass on Christmas Eve, it gives the families an opportunity to spend Christmas morning together at home.
This is the church where we were married, seventeen years ago. It sits on a hill. This church stood above the floodwaters of March 2010, when the Pawtuxet River turned into a lake. It used to be known as the French church, when the village of Natick thrived with mill activity. Down the street is the Italian church, with a CVS separating the two structures. We’ve been away from this church; now we’re back.
Our pastor is old. He moves slowly on the altar, lighting candles and turning on the pre-recorded carols. We learn later that he’s endured radiation treatment. He looks good.
One of our neighbors is here, with his wife. Last year, he was hit by a car. When he walks, his body is crooked. Just before Communion, he faints, which halts the distribution of hosts to us while some of the men tend to him. Someone calls a rescue from his cell phone, but our neighbor tells everyone he’ll be alright. His wife pats him on the back.
I say some prayers for Jonnie, who is at the Hasbro Children’s Hospital ICU, after a BB gun accident on Christmas Eve. He’s so young, and a beautiful, happy boy. He is foremost in my thoughts this morning. Later, I find out from his mom that he is better, but it’s still a waiting game. All those jokes from “A Christmas Story” seem horribly lame and inappropriate.
We are a small family. There are two elders, one tethered to a bottle of oxygen, one who doesn’t hear well so we speak loudly. We give thanks for the things we have and remember that there are people alone today. Some who wish to be alone, some who want company more than food. But we find reason to be happy, to laugh and smile. And we drink wine and eat good food and groan afterwards.
And then we drive home in the dark. Someone puts a small lighted deer at the edge of a cliff above the highway. It stands alone, and we look forward to seeing him. He watches over us as we find our way home. | 2019-04-22T14:40:57Z | https://marthareynoldswrites.com/2011/12/25/what-is-real-today/ |
around the blood vessels (Figure 1K). Thus, ColIV deposited surrounding cancer nests and formed membrane-like structures in tumour tissue. However, membrane-like structure fragmented, collapsed or even completely disappeared in most cases (ColIV: iOD 151.92 ± 38.17, Figure 1I, Additional file 1: Figure S1 C). Complete membrane-like structure could be observed only in small cases, but it became thick and sparse (Figure 1L). Association between MMP-2, MMP-9 and ColIV expression and clinic-pathological this website characteristics of tongue cancer As shown in Table 2, tumour MMP-2 expression was only detected in 14 of 48 specimens (low expression in 57% and high expression in 43%).
However, for stromal MMP-2 expression, low positivity second was noted in 40% of cases, whereas 60% showed high positivity. The presence of tumour MMP-2 expression was associated with differentiation and clinical stage. However, high stromal MMP-2 expression was only associated with positive lymph node status (P < 0.01).

That is the bride and groom in focus! And all us cousins and the counterparts of the married ones.
Traditionally, in Rajasthani weddings, the groom enters the place of wedding on a mare. So there he is perched atop!
While the groom trots in on the dame, his family members dance to traditional (and Bollywood) tunes as a celebratory ritual! Sadly you cannot see much of the dancing here though a couple of American tourists joined in the revelry (see extreme right of picture).
That’s them in full wedding attire waiting to place garlands around each other necks. See the sisters holding the garlands?
That’s a lot of us being clicked while taking a selfie with the groom. It’s a rush out there!
And that is your blogger fooling around with traditional headgear worn by the men.

The bride’s sari is so beautiful.
SQUEEEEE!!!! I LOVE them! Thank you!! It’s so bright and beautiful and honestly, it looks like a fairy tale or a magic fable come to life! Our weddings in the U.S. look so plain in comparison. You look like a princess, too!
Your excitement is soooo adorable! Honestly, I love your US weddings. At least the locales on Pinterest. They’re so breathtaking!
awesome one Aditi!! You nailed it again!!!
I love to see posts of Indian weddings. Everything and everyone is so colorful and the scene is one of great joy.
We had a couple of American tourists join us out of sheer curiosity! They loved the dance and the revelry! | 2019-04-18T14:17:48Z | https://inkingthethinking.wordpress.com/2015/02/15/big-fat-indian-wedding-with-visuals/ |
Major League Baseball will recover from the latest revelations regarding the use of steroids. After all, fantasy teams continue to drive the box office as passive fans found a way to finally participate in the game as manager-general manager-owner.
Thank goodness for gambling. That is what keeps professional sports afloat. The fan cannot field, bunt, or throw but they can field a team and they can wager.
Now the steroids have destroyed more than the game.
Arguing about the game is pointless.
Steroids make everything meaningless. There is no point to arguing over who was the greatest left handed hitter, the best second baseman whose last name started with the letter 'F', or which pitcher dominated his league for the longest period of time.
Those were ageless debates; debated for the ages. Every season players provided the fodder for fans of all ages to argue the merits of Sandy Koufax, Randy Johnson and Willie Mays.
Now comes more revelations of steroid use. Are the debates and arguments to be punctuated by asterisks? Do we now compile the all-Texas-born-team and divide it into two lineups -steroid era and not?
It was easier to catch a few burglars hiding behind the President of the United States than a couple of hundred ball players playing in front of millions of fans every summer.
Important Food Safety Legislation Debate Obscured By Media Obsession With "Beer Summit"
While the media machine obsessed over the absolutely trivial "beer summit" in President Obama's backyard between Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley and Harvard Professor Henry Lewis ("Skip") Gates, Jr., the House of Representatives has, after days of dramatic wrestling, passed an important bill, HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009.
Luckily, Obama Foodarama has been all over the story, calling it "the biggest change to the food safety landscape in fifty years."
It's terrific to actually have a food safety Bill passed, but if there's a recall this afternoon for, say, half a million pounds of ground beef due to E coli contamination (as there was just two weeks ago...) well, American eaters are still on their own. The Senate is concerned right now primarily with health care reform, and food safety still has adopted-child status. But the burdens to public health from foodborne disease can't be overlooked, either, which is an interesting disconnect on Capitol Hill. The Bill should be fast-tracked in the Senate, too.
So is it safe to eat again? Not yet.
Any way you pour it, the Beer Lobby is, in general, thrilled as they have been for months, as president Obama has been photographed a couple times drinking beer in public--at a hometown DC basketball game, and more recently with MLB Commissioner Bud Selig. And all those questions about beer track vs. winetrack voters that arose during Campaign Season? They're clearly over. The President is positioning himself, right now, as a beertracker. It works swell for generating all kinds of political capital, particularly for health care reform.
So now it's time to contact our Senators, and remind them that food safety is too important to ignore. They (at least the two from Wisconsin) are smart enough to work on at least several issues at once, even as a recess period beckons. If you see your Senator back home this August, remind them that attention to food safety shouldn't be left entirely to the week or so after each contamination recall story.
Ryan, who sided with big business and big lobbies for his entire congressional career, is now the champion of the folks on Main Street.
It was Ryan who attended the April 15, 2009 'Tea Party' in Madison, decrying government spending to a modest Capitol steps crowd after voting for the record stimulus spending package last fall.
It was Ryan who voted for the George W. Bush plan that deprived the federal government of using its bulk purchasing power in negotiating the price of prescription medications with the giant pharmaceutical companies. That decision increased the cost of health care to the federal government and taxpayers as well as health care recipients by tens of billions of dollars.
Right now, the nucleus of power lies with third parties - insurers, employers and bureaucratic administrators.
Ryan had a dozen years to fight for patients and consumers. So long as the battle was against the private sector lobbyists who supported his campaigns he was silent.
Now that reform is in the air, he muddies the waters by claiming to be the champion of the people.
The recent induction of Jim Rice of the Boston Red Sox and Rickey Henderson, who always had his suitcase packed, into Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame (HOF) fueled the discussion about Pete Rose's absence from Cooperstown.
MLB commissioner Bud Selig is not about to admit Rose, the all time hit leader, into the HOF, for fear that it will do nothing but contribute to an already sordid roster of pirates and thieves. And not the Pittsburgh variety.
We know that the content of his character is holding back Rose's admission, though some might argue it had more to do with his personality.
The problem for Selig is that every time Rose is mentioned, it raises uncomfortable reminders of the past and more uncomfortable reminders of the future. Steroids and the Hall of Fame are not a good mixture.
Charles Comiskey experienced success as a player, manager and owner for a half century. He became player-manager of the American Association's St. Louis Browns at age 24 in 1883 and won four consecutive pennants from 1885 to 1888. He became one of the founders of the American League in 1901 and owned the Chicago White Sox for 31 years, winning five pennants. In 1910, he built famed Comiskey Park, an impressive steel and concrete structure that lasted 80 years.
Comiskey was a disreputable businessman who lied, mistreated his players, and engaged in deception that rivaled his Eight Men Out, his Chicago White Sox, accused on throwing the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds.
may have been baseball's greatest player, if not the game's fiercest competitor. His batting accomplishments are legendary -- a lifetime average of .367, 297 triples, 4,191 hits, 12 batting titles (including nine in a row), 23 straight seasons in which he hit over .300, three .400 seasons (topped by a .420 mark in 1911) and 2,245 runs. Intimidating the opposition, The Georgia Peach stole 892 bases during a 24-year career, primarily with the Detroit Tigers.
Ty Cobb was as racist and as bigoted a man who ever walked the planet, let alone ran the base paths.
All of which leads us to Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Illiterate, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Jackson was one of the greatest players of all time. There is less and less evidence that he conspired to throw the World Series in 1919, and more and more evidence indicating that what personal flaws and defects the man had, they pale next to Ty Cobb, Comiskey, Pete Rose and the dozens of players of this generation that juiced their game.
While providing a welcome boost to high-tech entrepreneurship, Wisconsin's new budget on the whole solidifies the perception of the state as a tax-happy, business-unfriendly place, company owners and leaders of business groups say.
Of course it was preceded by the perception, least anyone believe that this might be the party line over at the MJS.
Critical to all of this was the source of such concerns, company owners and leaders of business groups.
I needed to know who were these key players in the state so I read on. Business owner Michael L. Hansen pulled no punches, "They've sure given a lot of people the impetus to get the hell out of here." Lots of facts, lots of data and no emotional response, just the way Hansen makes decisions at his place of business?
Hansen, 58, moved recently from Wisconsin to Florida - because of the weather, not taxes - but still has his business interests here, and a summer home in the North Woods. Wisconsin, he said, isn't doing much to help itself foster a strong private sector.
The article is actually more balanced than the headline.
There was the usual failure to note the distinction between taxes and fees, and what that means in terms of total revenues collected. Wisconsin, while a high tax state, is a low fee state and consequently total revenues collected from both individuals and businesses puts us in the middle of the rankings of state spending - something lost on Todd Berry and the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance - or did Berry caution the MJS and the author fail to put it in?
The remainder of the article contains perspectives from Zach Brandon from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, Tom Still from the Wisconsin Technology Council, and even some moderate tones from Wisconsin Manufactures and Commerce (WMC).
There was an assault on job creators, It sends a signal to people not to invest here."
Which leaves the rest of us wondering what was the point of the story.
Despite substantial reductions in U.S. infant mortality during the past several decades, black-white disparities in infant mortality persist (1). Among 40 states with sufficient numbers of black infant deaths to generate reliable rates for the years 2002--2004, Wisconsin had the highest black infant mortality rate (IMR) at 17.6 deaths per 1,000 live births, approximately three times the state rate for whites (2). However, in contrast to trends in Wisconsin and the other 39 states, the black IMR in Dane County, Wisconsin, has declined substantially, achieving parity with whites and meeting Healthy People 2010 objective 16-1 for reducing fetal and infant deaths (3). The county rate declined 67%, from 19.4 per 1,000 live births for the period 1990--2001 to 6.4 for the period 2002--2007.
the entire article: "No significant changes in local health-care systems, infrastructure, or practice that correspond to these improvements have been identified..."
While Waxing America mostly deals with state and local politics, we range over the waterfront of topics to include sports, popular culture, and whatever else catches our interest. Local Madison culture is always right up our alley, as are the accomplishments of our friends, and today we feature both.
Running into the fall at Steep and Brew's State Street (#544 State) location is a showing of wonderful photographs by Rich and Joan Gassen, featuring both rural and iconic Madison views. Most feature handmade reclaimed barnboard frames that echo the rustic subjects, and are all less than $100; most cost less than $50. They make great gifts for ex-Madisonians longing for a glimpse of Madison landmarks like the Capitol or the Terrace.
Nina covered the show's opening gala, and provides a glimpse of the camera-shy photographers, who take "photos that only people who understood farming from the core could take."
Tony Bernazard, a New York Mets executive, recently challenged one of club's minor league teams to a fight during a postgame clubhouse tirade, the New York Daily News reported, citing multiple sources with ties to the team.
The tirade by Bernazard reportedly occurred ten days before the All Star game, and only now are the New York Mets reportedly investigating the matter.
MLB.com is silent on the subject as of this postin;, it is fortunate that we have John Kruk to reflect on this matter.
The former Philly slugger and artful ESPN sports commentator made it clear that there is no role in professional sports for this kind of management.
Leadership is about calmly coaching, building teamwork and perfecting the craft. It means creating a comfortable and inspired culture, not one of intimidation and fear.
Leadership is about building trust. Taunting and challenging your own people to fight, whether it is literal or figurative, does not cut it.
Those of us concerned about management practices in both the public and private sectors wince whenever bad sports analogies or bad mindless 'inspirational' performances are presented as examples of coaching and managing. As we have noted before, the style of Lakers coach Phil Jackson is far preferable to the fiery and erratic performances of Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.
Now if we could just get a response from MLB Commissioner Bud Selig. Or perhaps the wiser thing to do is give the job to Kruk. He has a sense of humor and he can get those honorary first pitches over the plate.
A couple of weeks age Steve Prestegard attempted to drag my name through his column.
I corrected Prestegard in a post What was Steve Prestegard thinking? Was he?
I made an assumption in that statement.
I assumed that Prestegard, as a right wing expert on tax policy and business taxes knew how Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) worked. I assumed that Prestegard understood that TIF has the 'But for Test.' I assumed that Prestegard could follow the discussion. I assumed he was not into gamesmanship.
Silly me. Then Prestegard got too cute by half, writing back, "So basically if I read him correctly, Soglin does not believe in tax breaks for business, period, other than TIF districts, “which are to capture new taxes.” I hope this sets the record straight," as though he had a gotcha.
With a TIF, there are new taxes collected because of the new construction. The taxes I referred to are not a new tax as in a new tax rate or a new tax on an item previously free of taxation. No one was paying a higher tax rate or finding a new item subject to taxation.
can someone explain this to him?
Drastic times call for drastic measures, so maybe it is time to admit the possibility that the best Chicago hot dog for Madison isn’t a Chicago hot dog at all.
To Doug's credit he was up front about his betrayal. He distingushes between Chicago Hot Dog and any old hot dog. He betrayed Chicago and more importantly disgraced his idol, Mike Royko.
Catsup: an accoutrement that does not belong in the same sentence or even paragraph with the aforementioned works.
Hot Dog: any variety of wieners, most not Kosher and all in need of repair; thus the introduction for a variety of adornments including chiles, cheeses, tacos sauces and whizzes.
Food reviewer: usually the top person at a newspaper that eats cheese and wines, expensive meats and 'veggies.' Anyone claiming to be a 'foodie' has no business passing judgment on a hot dog, let alone eating one.
No one can be forgiven for putting catsup on a hot dog, any hot dog unless they are under the age of eleven. If you are over the age of ten, there are only two ways to order a Chicago Hot Dog - with "everything" (also "the works") or "everything but peppers." There are guys sleeping with the fishes in Lake Michigan who uttered the word catsup.
As for Falkenstein's review, she should be banned from sampling any important culinary delight. Her lead is, "It's hard to get too persnickety about a food that's usually sold out of stainless steel street carts or hawked from boxes at ballgames.."
...raises the question of the pickle or 'cuke.' The pickle that nestles alongside the hot dog is to be a 'new' pickle. One that has not been seasoned for a lengthy period of time. By definition that means it will crunch as the teeth penetrate.
I watched the young woman take out the bun and carefully build my hot dog. Immediately I suspected there was something wrong. Missing was the the grizzled knuckles, hairy arms, the sweat dripping off her just as hairy brow, topped by a paper hat that looked like it been used to clean her shoes.
And that is my review on the newest place in Madison to offer hot dogs. | 2019-04-24T06:27:27Z | https://www.waxingamerica.com/2009/07/index.html |

According to Deadline, Star Trek 4 has been shelved by Paramount Pictures.
A reason for the shelving was not mentioned, though Star Trek 4 hit a roadblock last summer after Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth reportedly stopped contract negotiations to appear in the project.
Meanwhile, the franchise continues on the small screen with Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access and a Jean-Luc Picard series is being developed for the streaming video on demand service. The new show is being developed for CBS All Access and is expected to follow Jean-Luc Picard 20 years after the events of the character’s previous adventure in Star Trek: Nemesis. The series is expected to premiere in 2019. | 2019-04-21T21:51:03Z | https://heroichollywood.com/star-trek-4-paramount-pictures-shelved/ |
A community-centric vision sits behind Marcus Hiles’ standing as a leading philanthropist. With a strong commitment to education, Hiles has donated more than $2.5 million to public and private primary school initiatives, after-school programs, university career services, and job placement programs in Texas. Hiles knows the importance of philanthropy, having come from humble beginnings himself. His father was an inner-city minister, and Hiles completely funded the construction of two large churches – one in Texas and the other his home state of Massachusetts.
The population of Texas increased by nearly 433,000 individuals, from 27.42 million to 27.86, furthering a growth trend that overtook the entirety of the Southern U.S. “States in the South and West continued to lead in population growth,” explained Ben Bolender, chief of the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Branch. “In 2016, 37.9 percent of the nation’s population lived in the South.” Jeffrey S. Passel, a senior demographer at the Pew Research Center, envisions the growth continuing indefinitely, saying to the New York Times that, “the movement to the South and West is a very long term trend.” Marcus Hiles, furthering what the two researchers have stated, adds that older residents of the North and Northeast, primarily baby boomers, are finding warmer places to retire.
Planned cities, such as the colonial-era developments of Jamestown, Philadelphia, and Charleston, have shaped the United States since the 16th century. In today’s America, CEO of Western Rim Property Services Marcus Hiles believes that designed communities are not only beneficial to residents, but play an integral role in the country’s real estate market. The Dallas real estate investor has been constructing stunning luxurious developments for over thirty years, witnessing firsthand the transformative impact they’ve had on Texas’ citizens and economy. | 2019-04-22T00:24:33Z | http://www.marcushilesrealestatenews.com/tag/marcus-d-hiles/ |

At the Demo Day, the 10 international teams of the METRO Accelerator powered by Techstars presented their innovative business ideas to about 300 global investors, experts and multipliers. The Demo Day marks the completion and highlight of the second round of the world's first accelerator programme focusing on digital solutions for the food service and hospitality sector. After three intensive months in our co-working space in central Berlin - including comprehensive mentoring and coaching by leading industry experts under the leadership of METRO and Techstars - the founders now aim to attract more investors for their business concepts.
"Digitisation is increasingly asserting itself in the food service and hospitality sector as well. It's our goal to actively shape this transformation and help our customers to become even more successful," says Olaf Koch, Chairman of the Management Board of METRO AG. "With our accelerator programmes, we support innovations and help founders to test, improve and bring their ideas and solutions to market. We give them start-up assistance, provide support through our network and know-how, and are a critical companion and door opener. Many solutions simplify business processes, increase efficiency or improve the customer experience. In the end, the entire industry benefits from new business models and technological solutions."
Ten teams from seven countries were selected from more than 600 applications for the programme in October 2016 and were each supported with up to €120,000. During the three-month accelerator programme in the German Tech Entrepreneurship Center in Berlin, the start-ups gained access to market expertise and to METRO's customer and supplier networks. About 120 external mentors provided intensive support in more than 500 consulting hours dedicated to the start-ups. Many teams have successfully established products in the market or sharpened their business model and positioning in the accelerator.
"Highly motivated founders have refined relevant solutions for their customers in the accelerator. The great interest shown by investors at the Demo Day demonstrates that we are on the right track and confirms our course. We are helping new business models to grow and are connecting our customers with the digital world," Koch says.
Three of the 10 teams redesigned their business models completely: Apparier, Frag Paul (Ask Paul) and Hyre changed their brand and positioning.
"The founders have made enormous progress in a short period of time and with a tight programme. We are proud to support them with our advice, expertise and network, and to move them forward. The 10 international teams show that innovations also enable growth in areas that have barely been digitised so far, such as the food service and hospitality sector," says Alexander Zumdieck, Managing Director METRO Accelerator for METRO AG.
"METRO Accelerator powered by Techstars is a poster child and benchmark in the international start-up scene. In combination with the Demo Day and the alumni programme, we have created a unique platform for innovation and investment," adds Jens Lapinski, Managing Director METRO Accelerator for Techstars.
Under the umbrella of the METRO Accelerator powered by Techstars, METRO and Techstars, in two programs, help international start-up teams in the development of digital solutions. One of the programs focuses on solutions for the hotel, restaurant and catering sector while the second program is aimed at the retail industry. In the framework of the three-month programs organised in Berlin, experienced mentors and experts will in each case help ten selected start-ups to successfully develop their own business further with regard to customers and investors. The METRO Accelerator powered by Techstars was launched in 2015 with a regularly hosted hospitality program that is the unique in the world. More information available at www.metroaccelerator.com.

There really is a difference. And right now we’re loving fougasse. So much that we have entirely rejected the idea of making focaccia. This month, I have the honour of hosting the kitchen of the month and have asked the BBBabes to bake fougasse as well and weigh in with their thoughts on the subject.
When I first read about fougasse, I thought it must be virtually the same as focaccia. I dismissed making fougasse because I’d made focaccia. They were the same, after all….
But because of still being certain – what with my terrific retention skills when reading – that fougasse was simply French focaccia, I used the ingredients for our focaccia recipe along with Robertson’s shaping and baking method to make our first fougasse.
Because fougasse is baked on a stone instead of on an oiled pan, there are more crispy bits. Not too crispy though… it’s juuuuust right!
Surprisingly, there are few mentions and just a handful of recipes for fougasse in all the various bread baking books we have.
Imagine a small, round and flat loaf, so dense that a knife point cannot penetrate and slips off its surface, and you are obliged to break it in half with your hands. […] This was the bread of poverty, the bread of the peasant, baked under an inverted iron pan over which the ashes of the fire were heaped. The English called them ashcakes, and the French fougasses.
The lyrical, ladderlike bread known as fougasse is my Provençal pizza. I take my favorite bread dough, shape it into individual breads, then flavor them with whatever delicious toppings I might have on hand – black or green olives, home-cured anchovies, marinated baby artichokes, capers, bits of fresh goat cheese, a touch of hot pili pili oil, or simply a brush of olive oil and a scattering of fresh thyme and coarse sea salt. The most traditional fougasse is flavored with bits of browned pork fat (what we call cracklings), but one also finds sweet versions prepared with a butter-rich dough or briochelike butter and egg dough flavored with orange flower water. The origin of the word is a mystery, though in the rest of france a fouace can refer to any sort of flat, baked galette either sweet or savory.
[T]raditional French ladder or lattice-shaped bread [… is …] crisp, deeply walnutty, dense and chewy […] This bread is moist and full-flavored eaten by itself, and it is a babulous complement to Roquefort cheesee and Sauternes or port.
The Provençal flat bread known as fougasse is a crust lover’s dream: it’s flattened and scored, which maximizes the surface area that gets exposed to direct heat but still leaves plenty of room for toppings, such as olives, herbs, sea salt, and cracked pepper.
A traditional southern French flatbread, fougasse can be flavored with herbs, olives, and lardons (fried bacon or pork belly), and cut to resemble a leaf or ladder just before sliding onto the hearth to bake. The dough is pressed into a rectangular shape as for focaccia, and a bench knife is used to make swift, decisive cuts in the dough on the peel before it’s cast onto the hearth to bake.
Chad Robertson says for “herbs, olives, or lardons, incorporate the ingredients early in the bulk rise, after the first turn […] The just-baked fougasse can be brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and fresh or dried herbs after it’s pulled from the oven to suit your taste.” Wells suggests putting extra flavourings on top like a pizza, just before baking. Because we were planning to bake olive fougasse in the barbecue and often have to turn the fougasse over, I used Robertson’s idea.
After the first couple of times making fougasse, I noticed that in their books, both Patricia Wells and Chad Robertson suggest using lean bread or baguette dough. ie: no oil in the dough itself.
So. Here is what I propose. Use whatever ingredients you like in your fougasse. As Patricia Wells says, use your favourite bread dough. But please follow the shaping and baking methods set out below. Make the fougasse plain. Or fill it with things. Shape it however you like. Bake it in the barbecue or the oven. Whichever is more convenient. Have fun!!!
Mix, knead and allow your favourite bread dough to rise to double. If you are adding anything like olives, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, caramelized garlic cloves and/or walnuts, mix them into the dough near the end of kneading it or on the first turn of the dough. If you are wanting herbs/spices on top, please add them just before baking.
Shaping: About an hour before baking the fougasse, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and press it out into an oval (or a rectangle; or a circle). Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is about 1 cm (.5 in) thick.
Baking If the weather is fine or just too hot to be turning the oven on, fougasse can be baked in the barbecue. If it’s raining or just too cold and dark, of course the fougasse can be baked in a conventional oven.
Baking in the Barbecue: Put a pizza stone over the half of the barbecue you will turn on and preheat the barbecue to high. Transfer the fougasse to the pizza stone that is sitting over direct heat. Close the lid of the barbecue and bake for about 8 minutes, rotating the stone once or twice or thrice to account for uneven heat in the barbecue (Hot Spots!!!). Then move the stone over to cook with indirect heat (lid down again) until the fougasse is done (about another 8 minutes)… our gas barbecue can be turned off on one side. Watch for hotspots and move the fougasse around to keep it from burning on one side. Because of the heat from the bottom, we like to turn the fougasse over. Just make sure to wait until the top crust is relatively well-formed.
Baking in the Oven: Put a pizza stone on the middle or top shelf of the oven and turn it to 400F (200C). Transfer the fougasse onto the hot stone and bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning it around at least once to account for uneven oven heat. The finished fougasse will be deep gold on the bottom and gold on the top.
When the fougasse done, remove it from the heat and allow to cool on a well-ventilated rack. To serve, break it apart and dip it into good quality olive oil with herbs if you want.
1.) Corn Meal: This is to make it easy to move the shaped fougasse from the peel to the hot stone. We use a medium-grind corn meal. I’ve heard that semolina flour works as well and apparently, rice flour may be used as an alternate. Parchment paper is definitely a viable alternative with the advantage that it can be placed in the oven and slipped out once the fougasse is half baked.
2.) Pizza Stone: Pizza stones are available at most kitchen supply stores in the larger cities (and possibly the smaller ones too?) in Canada. They cost about $10 and often come with a pizza wheel inserted in the box. They may be a little lighter weight and thinner than a conventional bread stone but the advantage is that they fit easily into a barbecue and they work pretty much as well to protect bottom crusts from burning to cinders.
3.) Shaping and slashing: The traditional shaping for fougasse is in a leaf or ladder shape. But it can be shaped in any way you want. This was an attempt at a Jack-o-fougasse. I’m afraid I didn’t open the eyes enough before baking it.
Robertson shapes his fougasse and allows it to rise (covered with a tea towel) for 2 to 3 hours. Wells shapes and slashes her shaped fougasse at the same time and allows the fougasse to rest for about 10 minutes before baking it. Beranbaum also shapes and slashes at the same time, allows it to rest for about 15 minutes before baking and suggests using scissors (and gentle pulling with fingers) to open up any of the slashes that have closed during that time.
Depending on the temperature of your kitchen, you can start this in the morning if it’s cool and in the early afternoon if it’s warm. Spoon the yeast into the bottom of a medium to large sized bowl. (I use a casserole dish). Pour the water over top and whisk until the yeast has dissolved and the mixture looks like diluted cream.
Add the olive oil and dump the flours, malt and salt overtop. Using a wooden spoon, mix together until the mixture comes away from the side of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto an unfloured board.
Wash and dry the mixing bowl (cleans the bowl AND washes your hands).
Using a dough scraper as your friend and ally to keep the board clean, hand knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is soft and silky.
Put the kneaded dough into the clean mixing bowl. Cover it and leave on the counter (out of drafts) until it doubles.
Cut olives in half and remove the pits.
In a decent sized mixing bowl, whisk the yeast into the water.
Using a dough scraper as your friend and ally to keep the board clean, hand knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is soft and silky. About a minute before finishing, knead in the olives.
I’m a little less casual about measuring for baguette dough and usually use our digital scale to weigh the ingredients. This is enough to make one medium-large sized fougasse and two baguettes.
Yeasted Water: On the evening before baking the bread, spoon the yeast for the yeasted water into the bottom of a small bowl. Pour in water and whisk together until dissolved and creamy looking.
Scrap Dough: put flour and salt into the bottom of a medium sized bowl (I use a smallish lidded casserole dish). Pour in 80 gm of the yeasted water (reserve the leftovers for the Poolish) and use a wooden spoon stir the ingredients together. This will create a stiffish dough.
Without adding any extra flour, knead in the air and/or the bowl until the dough is smooth (about 5 minutes). If it seems like there is too much flour, add a drop or two of water. Place the kneaded scrap dough into a smallish clean bowl that is large enough for the scrap dough to double. Cover the bowl with a plate and leave it on the countertop in a draft-free area until the next morning.
Poolish: put the flours into the medium sized bowl used for mixing the scrap dough. Add water (making sure to include the leftover yeasted water) to the flours. Stir with a wooden spoon until the flours are encorporated. This mixture will be quite sloppy. Cover the bowl with a plate and leave on the counter (out of drafts) overnight.
Actual Dough: On the next morning (the day for baking the bread): In a largish bowl, whisk yeast into lukewarm water until the mixture looks creamy.
Stir in all of the above Poolish that should be quite bubbly.
Add the flour and salt and using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough pulls away from the bowl and the flour is pretty much encorporated. Cover with a plate and set aside to sit on the counter for about 10 minutes.
Turn the dough out of the bowl onto an unfloured work surface. Place the scrap dough on top. Wash and dry the bowl. This prepares the rising bowl AND gets your hands clean.
Without adding any extra flour, knead the doughs until silky and the scrap dough is fully encorporated into the rest of the dough (5 to 10 minutes). Once again, let your dough scraper (a spatula works) be your friend when the dough is sticking to the board. Keep scraping up any dough that is on the board and adding it back into the actual dough so the board is always clear.
Put the kneaded dough into the clean mixing bowl. Cover with a plate and allow to rise in a no-draught area (warm room temperature) for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes has passed, with the back of your hand against the inside of the bowl, slip your fingers down the side of the bowl to the bottom and gently scoop the bottom of the dough up and around to the top. Turn the bowl a quarter turn and repeat. Do this maneuvre 4 times in all (try not to disturb any bubbles too much). Cover and allow to rise in a no-draft area (warm room temperature) for 20 minutes. Repeat this step three times in all. (This step is done at 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 60 minutes after the first kneading.) After the final time, cover and allow to rise at room temperature until it has doubled. A good way to tell if the dough has doubled is to wet your finger and poke a hole in the top of the dough. If the hole fills up, it hasn’t risen enough. If there is a whoosh of air and the dough deflates a little, it has risen too much. If the hole stays in exactly the same configuration and the dough remains otherwise intact, it is ju-u-st right.
When the dough has doubled, it’s ready to shape.
4.) Yeast and Water: Field calls for active dry yeast; Glezer calls for instant yeast. There’s nothing wrong with instant yeast; we just don’t happen to have any on hand. I use active dry instead. And a LOT less than either Field or Glezer suggested. N.B. Under no circumstances do I ever use water from the hot water tap. Water from the hot water tap sits festering in the hot water tank, leaching copper, lead, zinc, solder, etc. etc from the tank walls… the higher temperature causes faster corrosion. Of course, saying that it is unsafe to use water from the hot water tap might be an urban myth, but why tempt fate? I heat the water in our kettle.
But I LIKE warm bread right out of the oven: If you wish to reheat leftover fougasse, put them on the top shelf of the hot barbecue for a few minutes. OR… turn the oven to 500F for 5 minutes or so. Turn the oven OFF. Put the fougasse in the hot oven for ten minutes.
I haven’t yet made Rose Levy Beranbaum’s fougasse (remind us to get some walnuts!) And I really must try Susan’s Gorgonzola Fougasse With Figs and Pecans (remind me to get figs at the same time as we get the walnuts!). But I have made fougasse with poppy seeds to go with grilled salmon.
If you don’t have a blog, no problem; we still want to see and hear about your bread! Please email me with the details so your fougasse can be included in the roundup.

Please note that today is also World Bread Day and World Food Day. World Bread Day is an annual event set to coincide with World Food Day, where participants are invited to bake bread and share it. World Food Day is a yearly event put together by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to raise awareness and funds to feed the world’s chronically hungry.
In ancient Rome, panis focacius was a flat bread baked in the ashes of the hearth (focus in Latin). This became a diverse range of breads that include “focaccia” in Italian cuisine, “hogaza” in Spain, “fogassa” in Catalonia, “fugassa” in Ligurian, “pogača” in the Balkans, “fougasse” in Provence, “fouaisse” or “foisse” in Burgundy. The French versions are more likely to have additions in the form of olives, cheese, anchovies etc, which may be regarded as a primitive form of pizza without the tomato. There is also in Portugal the “fogaça“, a sweet bread.

Good morning to you lovely fougasses! Looking really nice Elizabeth. I’m happy to tell you that my fougasse is eh still just a thought soon to be transferred into something real. Which is an awkward way of telling you I’m laaate! Again.
Starting the dough now. No really!
Elizabeth I loved that fougasse, you are totally right it’s not at all like focaccia tho it’s made of the same dough. Very interesting indeed!
Beautiful challenge Elizabeth and my hat is off to you for making the baking of fougasse in a barbecue work! Lovely breads. Thank you for choosing fougasse this month…it was fun and delicious. My post is just up…off to breakfast with friends soon.
I agree with Elle, so clever to bake bread on a BBQ! Fougasse is a great bread, always a winner, great choice.
Gorgeous shape! I’ve had fougasse with walnuts and yes it was excellent. Now I need to try that.
LOVE the olive I just made! Really good but then I LOVED the olives going into it.
So glad to do fougasse again. It’ll be on our evening wine table more often again. Yes, no knife, it’s made for hands.
Great choice, so many options but all a crust-lover’s delight! I love the olive oil brushed on after baking, which I hadn’t done before. | 2019-04-22T20:46:57Z | http://etherwork.net/blog/fougasse-is-different-from-focaccia-bbb-october-2011/ |

Extension Officer at the Banana Board, Henry Graham (right), accepts an application from Seven Rivers farmer, Karen Kellier (3rd right), for participation in the Banana Export Expansion Programme (BEEP) in St James, while other applicants wait their turn. Occasion was an investment forum held recently, at the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) offices in Montego Bay, where farmers and investors were provided with details about BEEP.
The Government of Jamaica is pumping $250 million into a project aimed at revitalising banana production for the export market.
The Banana Export Expansion Programme (BEEP), details of which were provided at an investment forum in Montego Bay recently, is targeted at new and existing farmers in the traditional banana-growing parishes of Portland, St. Mary and St. James.
Funding is being provided under the European Union (EU)-supported Jamaica Banana Accompanying Measures (JBAMS). The Banana Board is the implementing agency.
The $250 million investment by Government will go towards land divestment in priority agro parks, off farm irrigation infrastructure, and farm road improvement. Some $76.5 million will be distributed through JBAMs for material input supplies, Global Good Agricultural Practices (Global GAP) infrastructure, and Fairtrade Labelling Organizations (FLO) certification.
Farmers will receive support from JBAMS in the areas of training, certification, and technology transfer in both production and post harvest management. They will be required to provide 60 per cent of their production cost, while the remaining 30 per cent will be provided through the BEEP.
Farmers in St. James will benefit under the initiative, through several agro parks that are to be set up at Seven Rivers and Sunderland in the parish.
The parks, the first of which will be established in Seven Rivers, will function as incubators to ensure the expansion of production within global standards, and the development of the industry, while preserving its competitiveness for both the domestic and export markets.
At the Montego Bay investment forum, held at the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) offices, the farmers and potential investors were provided with details about the project, including the registration process, cost of production, and market opportunities.
“It is still a work in progress and our forum with you is not only to give you information but also to get back some information from you so that the programme, when we implement it, is the best programme,” said Banana Board General Manager, Janet Conie.
The major components of BEEP include: upgrading of the tissue culture laboratory; facilitating ongoing exports of a single small container of banana; providing financial support through a revolving loan for material inputs required for production of the first crop; providing Global GAP infrastructure for strategic grouping of farmers: storeroom toilet, welfare facility; and facilitating Global GAP and FLO Certifications to ensure market access and premium prices.
The programme will also seek to address disaster mitigation; prevent Moco and Black Sigatoka diseases; and improve access of farmers to the Catastrophe Fund.
A series of natural disasters in the recent past have severely curtailed Jamaica’s banana production and as a result, the banana export market.
Strong efforts to revitalise the export market, due to high international demand for Jamaican bananas, have resulted in new markets in Canada and Grand Cayman, and a scaled back resumption of exportation to the United Kingdom, which was suspended in 2008. | 2019-04-21T14:47:57Z | https://jis.gov.jm/govt-embark-250-million-banana-export-expansion-programme/ |

was a time when I used to whiz around in WTL... unbelievable.
the ant from eclipse and have VS 2005/2008 installed, it just wont get through that C code.
I'm just messing too much with the code for my liking... its already Harmony "something else".
Does anyone here actually work on the MS platform? Am I wasting my time?
trying to got to XP and the code is declaring NT4 ... so not looking good.
my gutt tells me that JVM's in general bulk up too quickly.
at 5 megs... do you also think that is about right?
If you think about C++... it more or less it follows a "more application == more engine" rule.
JRE's naturally are carrying the "OS", but they dont seem to be able to do that.
lot to run "one line" of Java code.
would be deliverable... and that would make that JRE very special.
... if you see what I'm getting at..
how far would that get?

I’ve been talking about time and time management with a number of people over the past few days. Namely, they feel bad about their own time management or they feel bad that they don’t want to work as many hours as some business coaches say they need to.
In fact, in one case I heard of a business coach who suggested to a small business owner, with 3 small children, that if she wanted her business to work she’d have to be working until at least 2 am every weeknight if she hoped to make a go of it. Not surprisingly this made the woman in question anxious and very upset.
I also worked with a client who only wanted to work 3 days a week, but felt really guilty, as if this somehow made her less of a businesswoman.
I say you have to create a business that suits you. Why leave the slaving away of the 9-5 to create a monster business that you have to feed, that wears you down and fills you with dread.
You get to create your own version of success.
And while, of course, there is hard work involved, you get to choose how much you want to earn, how many hours you want to put in and generally build a business that fits around your needs.
There are times when I am awake at ridiculous times in the morning to get everything done, but there are also times when I’m prancing around in the daytime at adult ballet classes or having tea with other amazing business women.
Of course, we can’t be crazy and expect to earn £100,000 if we only want to work a day a week. At least at the start anyway!
So I thought I’d have a look around at what other people recommend around time and work.
And here’s some knowledge for you – in the UK we work more hours than anywhere else in Europe and we are also one of the least productive – so all those hours are definitely not turning into pounds.
In Alex Pang’s book ‘why you get more done when you work less’ he points to a number of famous people who only worked 4 hours a day, including Charles Darwin, Thomas Jefferson, Alice Monro (who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013) and French mathematician Henri Poincare.
They all certainly managed to get a lot done in those hours and didn't need to be burning the midnight oil to be successful.
And science has proved it. Studies in the 1950’s showed that scientists who spent 25 hours in the workplace where no more productive than those who spent 5. And those who worked more than 60 hours a week, where the least productive of all!
Not quite sure yet about the 4-hour working day? What about 5 hours?
A company in America decided to move to a 5-hour workday. All employees worked 8 am to 1 pm and got paid exactly the same.
A year later they were the fastest growing company in San Diego, with their 9 person team making $9 million in revenue.
So working less made the team more productive, happier (as they got more time to pursue outside interests) and made them very successful.
How about a 3-day working week instead?
Researchers in Australia looked at working hours for people in their middle ages. They found that anything over 25 hours a week resulted in fatigue and stress. And a recent study in the UK found that 1/3 of workers wasted around 3 hours every day because they weren’t able to concentrate.
So the upshot of that is, if you work 25 hours over 3 days, you'll be more productive than working 7 or more hours a day for 5 days a week.
Or what about a 4-hour working week!
The 4-hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris is a New York Times bestseller and claims to teach people how to escape the 9-5, live anywhere and get rich. That seems a little too farfetched for me, but I’m sure it makes for interesting reading!
How can we grab this opportunity?
In reality what all of these studies and examples show us is that by concentrating our work into smaller blocks, we are more focused and less prone to distraction.
It also means that if we adopt a 4-hour day we’re not going to feel guilty about going to a little adult ballet, a walk around the park, playing with the kids, baking cakes or whatever takes your fancy! We’re going to be able to enjoy our time off a lot more. And we’re going to be able to have more time, which is something most people feel they lack.
Obviously, sometimes we’re going to have to work a little more if we have a deadline looming or we’ve got a holiday coming up and need to crack on, but honestly, the extra stress might not be worth it!
Next week I’m going to be talking about tools and techniques you can use to manage your time better, so those 4 or 5 hours a day are really focussed, so that you really can create your dream business.
So next time you're cramming in your working day into a few hours so you can go and meet that friend, give yourself a pat on the back for being productive, rather than feeling guilty that you should be working!
I’m a coach supporting women in business make the most of their online marketing, so they can reach their ideal customers, make more money and build their dream business. There’s no one sized fits all in life, there’s you and your unique business!
Thinking of working with me? Why not take a look at what my past clients have to say!

Residents and businessmen in the Washoe Valley, Pleasant Valley area generally see the Interstate 580 freeway extension as a mixed blessing.
Once open, Nevada Department of Transportation officials say as much as 70 percent of the traffic on Highway 395 will move to the freeway, greatly reducing the traffic on the old road.
Chris Jacobsen, who lives in what he described as a luxury home in Washoe Valley, agreed it will be a blessing for the residential areas along the current Highway 395 route. But Jacobsen, a consultant who advises businesses – primarily convenience stores – on where best to locate, said it will overall hurt the businesses in Washoe City. He said that applies especially to convenience stores, the gas station and businesses like the Chocolate Factory and Nevada Lynn Emporium which rely on impulse buyers seeing them and deciding to stop.
He said Paul Marazzo, owner of Washoe Flats restaurant – formerly the Cattleman’s – may benefit because his is a destination rather than an impulse stop.
Marazzo is counting on that. He said when the trucks and other through traffic move to the new freeway, it will also make it much easier and safer for drivers seeking a nice dinner at the restaurant he and his brother, Lynn, operate. And, as the valley develops, he said he’ll get more and more local business.
At the same time, he said the freeway will make it easier for people to come to his restaurant because they’ll be able to take the freeway to Parker Ranch Road just south of the restaurant.
And in the meantime, he said the freeway construction crews are excellent customers.
She said traffic is the issue and she has been involved in efforts to get people to slow down through the valley.
Tyson Petty, manager of Old Washoe Station, the gas station and mini-mart to the north, made similar comments.
Couch and Petty both said their businesses may be hurt somewhat but neither thought the loss of traffic would put them out of business. | 2019-04-20T21:15:18Z | https://www.nevadaappeal.com/news/local/residents-businesses-see-freeway-extension-as-mixed-blessing/ |
Mark Campbell, President and CEO of our sponsor Aton Resources Inc. (TSX.V: AAN) made the jump from petroleum to gold mining. He wound up in Egypt pursuing the legendary lost mines of the ancients. One day they were sitting around looking at satellite imagery and discovered some trails heading up a mountain. They went up to the top and found an ancient mine that hadn't been touched by humans in over 1600 years. While it didn't have snake pits and booby traps, it became the site of an extremely promising Rodruin project that could see huge returns. The original hand carved mine was very productive. Now with the addition of modern drilling techniques and mining technology, it could be a major world class find. We'll be following Mark and keep you posted.
Dee Carter author of It's Now or Never: How to Enjoy Your Life and Not Let Your Investments Own You!, believes that the current oil price surge is short term and will remedy itself shortly. In the US WTI production keeps climbing but our capacity to ship and refine hasn't gone up. But there's new pipelines on the way, so fear not. I Europe the Iran sanctions are heating up and thats driving Brent Crude higher. Again it's likely that the situation will be remedied in the near future, one way or the other. After that it's smooth sailing ahead. So get ready.
When the government claims it's there to help you out or the middle class, grab your wallet and hold on for dear life. As John so eloquently states, it's going to be a rough ride. While GDP looks like happy days are here again, the fact is that there's more to an economy than purported GDP growth numbers. There's a little thing called debt that's been increasing geometrically. But don't worry because as everyone knows, the deficit doesn't matter, or does it? I guess we'll all find out one day when it really does matter.

The Audi TT RS Coupé has never been this masculine. The completely redrawn front end and the striking rear end give it a dynamic appearance.
The quattro logo in a matt titanium-look is positioned in the lower section of the gloss black grill with its matt black Singleframe. The lateral air inlets, which have been enlarged once again, are each divided by vertical strips on the inside and outside. For cooling purposes there are additional radiators located behind the typical RS honeycomb grill. The lateral air inlets that extend almost all the way to the front wheel wells make the new TT RS appear extremely wide.
"The new TT RS is in absolute peak form," says Michael-Julius Renz, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH. "Like a well-trained athlete, it showcases even more prominently how much power lies beneath its muscular outer skin."
Five-cylinder, 294 kW (400 metric horsepower) output, 480 Nm (354.0 lb-ft) of torque, quattro all-wheel drive - the Audi TT RS impresses with inner values and offers an outstanding driving performance. The Coupé sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) in only 3.7 seconds. Musical accompaniment is provided by the typical five-cylinder sound: 1-2-4-5-3. Due to this ignition sequence, ignition alternates between adjacent cylinders and those far apart from one another. This unique rhythm is music to the ears of many horsepower purists.
Last year, Audi Sport received the sought-after International Engine of the Year Award for the 2.5 TFSI engine for the ninth consecutive time. The turbo engine draws its power from an engine displacement of 2,480 cm3. The engine’s maximum torque of 480 Nm (354.0 lb-ft) is available between 1,950 and 5,850 rpm. The top speed is regulated at 250 km/h (155.3 mph) or an optional 280 km/h (174.0 mph). | 2019-04-20T06:41:43Z | https://evlear.com/cars/2019-audi-tt-rs-coup%C3%A9 |

On the morning after their Dockville festival show we meet the Danish band Rangleklods at their hotel close to Außenalster. At the waterfront Esben and his bandmate Tikki are welcomed by a duck that will keep close to the two musicians during the whole acoustic session. Rangleklods make themselves comfortable in a knobby tree, where Esben starts into the sombrous and stirring “In Charge”. Tikki adds some extra deepness to Esben’s sonorous singing. Rangleklods’ stripped down performance is so full of atmosphere, it makes you nearly forget that this band turns very electronic and clubby on stage. | 2019-04-20T07:02:07Z | http://theyshootmusic.at/semi-acoustic-video-sessions/rangleklods/ |

Hello boils and ghouls! Though the happy holidays may be here, that does not mean that all is filled with merriness and cheer. December 5th marks the pagan holiday Krampusnacht! For those of you who haven't heard of Krampusnacht, it is the night before Saint Nicholas Day where the demonic creature Krampus comes and takes naughty children to hell. Okay, so that sounds a little morbid, but it's actually a rising phenomenon in pop culture. Krampus, a sort of anti-Santa Claus, was a well-known mythological creature back in the day, and now has made a huge comeback. Whether it's a more traditional European celebration of guys and gals dressed as the creature running around the streets or the American spin on him, such as his strange cameos on The Colbert Reportand The Venture Bros., the Krampus fad seems here to stay. Back in the mid-1800s, it was customary to send out greeting cards from Krampus "signed" by the being with "Gruss vom Krampus." The cards serve as fun and eerie reminders that instead of Santa doling out coal, Krampus is there to take disobedient kids (and sometimes their parents) on a midnight journey through hell. So sit back, and take a look at some of these amazingly creepy vintage greeting cards from Krampus and enjoy this strange, mysterious December holiday.
Looks like this girl made the naughty list. | 2019-04-23T10:18:50Z | https://www.inkedmag.com/culture/vintage-greeting-cards-krampus |

We check out the underrated AU Falcon XR8 range and Australia's Windsor-powered limited editions.
With the recent resurgence in the popularity of high-performance Ford vehicles, it's only natural that previous models will now be looked back on in a new light. In Part One of this series we looked at the EB to EL Ford XR8s. This time we'll check out the most powerful Windsor-powered machines – the late-model AU Falcon XR8 and the various limited edition models.
Following the EB-EL shape XR8, Ford Australia introduced the all-new AU model in 1998.
The AU Falcon copped plenty of flack about its innovative styling when released but, thankfully, the XR version managed to escape much of this criticism thanks to its more attractive quad headlight front-end. XR8s were also fitted with a subtle body kit and an optional bi-level rear spoiler, which is said to generate actual downforce – it doesn't merely reduce rear aero lift.
But the biggest news in the AU Falcon was the long-awaited introduction of a double wishbone independent rear suspension. This – combined with a host of other chassis and suspension changes – gives the AU XR8 class-leading handling and stability. The standard wheel size is 16 inch but many buyers spent extra on 17s.
Under its bonnet, the AU XR8 adopts a Windsor 5.0 that was said to be designed for the US-market Ford Explorer. This engine brought new heads, inlet manifold, camshaft and the EEC-V engine management was recalibrated to suit. Peak power remained pegged at 185kW but peak torque increases slightly to 412Nm (achieved at 5000 and 3500 rpm respectively).
Fitted with either a revised 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto, the 1650-odd kilogram AU XR8 can accelerate to 100 km/h in the low 8 second range. The quarter mile takes a shade under 16.0 seconds.
For the 2000 Series 2 version of the AU XR8, the faithful Windsor V8 was given another major revision.
Struggling to compete with Holden's newly introduced 5.7 litre LS1 V8, Ford Australia gave the Windsor an upgrade to the tune of 200kW at 5000 rpm and 420Nm at 3650 rpm. This powerplant – when backed with the base 5 speed manual gearbox – delivers a LS1-beating launch but falls behind as road speed increases. The AUII XR8 can rip to 100 km/h in the low 7 second bracket and does the quarter mile thing in low 15s - not hanging around.
The XR8 ute received the 200kW donk in early 2001.
To cope with the extra speed, Ford offered standard dual-pot front brakes and an optional 329mm Premium brake package. Other options include leather, a high-end sound system and body kit. The body received less daring styling and the original AU XR8's bi-level rear spoiler was dropped to make way for a conventional single element spoiler.
And just when you thought you'd seen everything the AU had to offer, the Series II was boosted to 220kW half way through its model run.
The 220kW Windsor was hand-built by Tickford and features reengineered cast iron heads, a match-ported intake manifold, larger throttle body, ceramic coated headers and revised camshaft. Fuel pressure was also increased and the management system was recalibrated. Compression ratio had crept up to 9.4:1 – still low enough to cope with normal unleaded fuel.
Producing 220kW at 5250 rpm and 435Nm at 4000 rpm, the late AUII XR8 is decidedly quick. In 5 speed manual guise, it can launch to 100 km/h in high 6s and run the quarter mile in high 14s.
The final AU XR8 – the AUIII – appeared in late 2001 was available with the choice of a traditional XR appearance or a Ford Racing body kit. It was unaltered mechanically.
Second-hand, these 220kW monsters fetch around $25 to $30 grand.
The AUIII stepped aside for the BA series in late 2002.
Ford Australia – as opposed to its FTE division – released only one limited edition of the AU XR8.
The 2001 XR8 Rebel employs the same hand-built 220kW engine found in the late AUII XR8, 18 inch Speedline alloys, a Ford Racing body kit and – wait for it – a Sony PS2 for home use! A copy of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (signed by Glenn Seton and Steven Richards) was also thrown in on the deal.
What's the point? Well, Sony included the FTR racecar in the vehicle line-up of GT3 and this is a 'celebration'.
Not long after the release of the original EB-series XR8, Ford rekindled the glory days of old and released another Falcon GT.
The 1992 25th Anniversary EB Falcon GT employs a heavily reworked Windsor 5.0 with big valve GT40 heads, hydraulic lifters, roller rockers, a high-flow intake manifold and throttle body, large diameter airflow meter and a recalibrated engine management system. This gave the EBII GT an even 200kW at 5200 rpm and 420Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
It was more than enough to take on HSVs from the same era.
The EBII GT was available with a T5 5 speed featuring a heavy-duty Mustang Cobra gearset and upgraded bearings, while the optional 4 speed auto was a recalibrated BTR 85LE unit. The auto version uses a shorter diff ratio than the manual.
A comprehensive add-on aero kit, bigger brakes, improved suspension, 17 inch alloys and mega-dollar 235/40 Pirelli P Zero tyres give the EBII GT all-round talents to match its grunt. Its high price tag also meant full leather/timber trim, climate control and electric everything was essential.
Unfortunately, the 'give it everything' approach contributed to a substantial 1646kg kerb weight. Combine this with doubts that the engine really made 200kW and it's no surprise the EBII GT struggles to hit 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. Auto versions took low 8s and around 16 seconds to run the quarter mile.
Ford retrospectively admitted the Ford was built as a luxury express to satisfy men who had once owned GT Falcons of the '60s and '70s.
An immaculate 1992 EB GT currently fetches around AUD$20,000 due to its collector appeal.
Hot on the heels of the EBII GT was the ED XR8 Sprint – a vehicle that offers virtually the same performance without all the hoo-ha.
The XR8 Sprint is equipped with essentially the same engine as the EBII GT but, curiously, it is quoted with 8kW less. The Sprint is said to generate 192kW at 5000 rpm and 404Nm at 4000 rpm.
Also available in 5 speed manual and 4 speed auto form, the cloth trimmed XR8 Sprint weighs almost 100kg less than the EBII GT and takes only 7.3 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h. The quarter mile requires only 15.0 seconds of your time.
Visually, the XR8 Sprint received unique chunky-style 16 inch alloys and Sprint badges. The interior is standard ED XR8 fare with the addition of a Momo wheel.
An ED XR8 Sprint currently costs around AUD$15,000 depending on kilometres and condition.
The GT name was dusted off once again for the 1997 EL Falcon series.
The EL GT – which is based on the top-line Fairmont Ghia – is equipped with a total of 11 stick-on body parts and an integrated bonnet vent. The look is, well, controversial but unarguably attention-getting... At least the rear spoiler is effective – it is said to reduce rear axle lift by a massive 70 percent.
Behind its vertical barred grille are a pair of air intake scoops, which ram induction air into a free-flow induction system. The intake manifold was also swapped for a mandrel bent tubular set-up with a 65mm throttle body. The heads are cast-iron GT40 items with 2mm oversize inlet valves and providing a 9.0:1. compression ratio. Interestingly, the cam profile is identical to that used in the cooking model Windsor but increased valve lift is achieved through the use of 1.7:1 roller rockers (instead of conventional 1.6:1 units). Exhaust gasses pulse through 4>1 headers, twin cat converters and dual mufflers.
The EL GT's quoted power output is 200kW at 4700 rpm and it has 420Nm of torque at 3700 rpm. There's no doubting its power and torque figures, but its limited rev range is far from sporting.
The live axle suspension is retuned while 17 inch wheels, 329mm front discs and twin-spot calipers come standard. The cabin is decked out with leather trim, wood inlays, a Momo wheel, 240 km/h speedo and all the power luxuries Ford had available. This, like the EBII GT, adds weight and the EL GT tips the scales at 1668kg.
As a result, its straight-line performance is nothing astounding – 0 – 100 km/h in the mid 7s and the quarter takes mid 15s.
Price wise, an EL GT costs a bit more than a comparable EBII GT – up to around AUD$25,000 for one in collector's condition.
During the AU Series 1 timeframe, Ford's newly formed FTE division released the T-series.
The 1999 TE50 and Fairlane-based TL50 were the first AU models to use a 200kW version of the Windsor. The 200kW output was achieved using a more aggressive camshaft, aluminium roller rockers and bigger induction piping. Peak power arrives at 5000 rpm while peak torque – 420Nm – can be reached at 3750 rpm.
Marketed alongside the TE and TL50 was the mid-spec TS50, which boasted a full 220kW and 435Nm. Further camshaft development, big valve aluminium heads, a flow-matched GT40-type intake manifold, bigger throttle body, upgraded exhaust manifolds and cat converters and increased fuel pressure are required to achieve the 220kW output. Compression ratio remains at a mild 9.0:1. Note that both power and torque arrive at higher revs – peak power is at 5250 rpm and peak torque is at 4000 rpm. Unfortunately, much of the Windsor's previous refinement has been lost – the 220kW TS50 has a lumpy idle, which is a tell-tale sign of its relatively hot cam.
An electronic sports shift auto transmission – with buttons on the steering wheel – was standard for the first time in the TS and TL50 and was optional on the TE50.
Both TE and TS50s employ 329 x 28mm front discs with Cobra Mustang calipers. The discs are grooved and the master cylinder is modified to suit. The independent suspension systems of each are improved over the XR8. TS and TL50s also employ Koni dampers and traction control. Unique 17 inch alloys and 235/45 tyres come fitted to the TE, while the TS50 and TL50 use 18s with 245/40s.
A chrome mesh grille, colour-coded headlight bezels and other subtle body touches give the TE-series their own look. Interiors are also upgraded, with the TE50 having sports fabric trim and the TS and TL50s having leather. A Momo wheel comes standard.
Well, high 6 second 0 – 100s are typical for the manual 220kW TS50. TL50 autos take about 7.5 seconds.
When the Falcon AUII upgrade came along, the T-series received some important revisions.
The 200kW engine was dropped so the TE/TS and TL50 were now standard with 220kW/435Nm. A manual gearbox was also available on the TE and TS50s. Mechanically, the AUII T-series vehicles were given a revised cam profile, SVO alloy heads and recalibrated engine management to provide improved bottom-end performance. The big 329mm brake package was also made standard on TS and TL50s and optional on the TE50.
Other engineering changes made to the AUII range apply to the T-series and there are other minor trim and detail changes. It appears that buyers wanted a greater variety of colours and styling options – not everyone wanted a subtle look.
And now for what is the ultimate Windsor engine development – the Australian-built 5.6 litre stroker.
For late 2001, FTE released the hairy-chested T3 range of TE, TS and TL50s.
The T3s share the same under-bonnet monster – a 5.6 litre stroked Windsor. The big-cube motor is hand-built with a new crankshaft, ported GT40P iron heads with hi-po springs and valves, billet rods, lightweight 9.6:1 pistons, revised cam, 82mm throttle body, unique high-flow intake manifold and a conical air filter with a dedicated airflow meter.
Try 250kW at 5250 rpm and a monster 500Nm at 4250 rpm!
It's no surprise these machines – despite weighing over 1700kg - can rip to 100 km/h in around 6.0 seconds in Tremec 5 speed manual form. The spread of torque and throttle responsive is also very strong. Just don't expect a huge amount of refinement – the 5.6 shakes around at idle and suffers excess vibration at high revs.
Based on the AU Series III, the T3s feature a heavy-duty Dana M78 LSD, 355mm front discs with 4 pot Brembos, 18 inch wheels and an aggressive body kit on TE/TS50 models. Note that a 5.6 litre FTE Pursuit 250 ute was also released.
We've seen early 200kW TE50s appear for sale from AUD$25,000 while 5.6 litre TS50s nudge AUD$45,000.
The stroker T3s go into the history books as the undisputed king of Aussie Windsor performance. The only other Ford V8 that's managed to upstage them is the current DOHC beast 5.4 in the BA-series. | 2019-04-19T10:16:33Z | http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_2370/article.html |

All Saints Day is followed the next day by the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, more commonly known as All Souls Day. All Souls Day is a day set aside for honoring and praying for the dead. This celebration of All Souls stems from the Catholic doctrine that the souls of the faithful departed who at their death have not been cleansed from the temporal punishment due to their venial sins and from attachment to their mortal sins. They cannot immediately attain the beatific vision in heaven and so are in a state of purification which we know as Purgatory.
Our Catholic Faith teaches us that our beloved dead are aided by our many prayers and by the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In other words, when they died, they had not yet attained full sanctification and moral perfection, a requirement for entrance into Heaven. This sanctification is carried out posthumously in Purgatory. The Masses we offer aid not only the living but also the dead. This is why there is such a venerable tradition of remembering our loved ones who have died with Masses on anniversaries or Month’s Mind.
All Souls Days Masses are at 7:30am, 9am and 12:05pm. All Souls Day is not a holy day of obligation but I encourage you to come to Mass and pray for the souls in Purgatory. If you cannot make it to Mass on Monday, please offer prayers for the dead especially your beloved dead and those souls who have no one to pray for them.
In a special way we will remember the souls of the faithful departed who rest in our parish cemetery, St. Patrick’s. The OLM School students will process to St. Patrick’s Cemetery following the 9am All Souls School Mass. You are most welcome to join with them as we pray and process for the faithful departed of our parish family. Cemeteries are not “spooky” places but rather they are signs of faith and hope for the resurrection of those buried there. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May all the souls of the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Happy All Saints Day! A Prayerful All Souls Day! Be well. Do good. God Bless. Go Pats!! | 2019-04-25T00:08:44Z | https://olmparish.org/blog/2015/10/28/welcome-bishop-tobin-celebrating-confirmation-and-all-saints-praying-for-our-dead-on-all-souls |

Trabzonspor striker Waris sustained an injury in the Turkish Super Lig side's 4-1 defeat to Eskisehirspor nine days ago.
Waris has been replaced in the squad by Mahatma Otoo, who plays his football in the Norwegian Tippeligaen for Sogndal.
Leicester City defender Schlupp also misses out because of a knee problem that he sustained in the Premier League club's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on New Year's Day.
The Ghana Football Association revealed in a statement that Schlupp will be sidelined for three weeks.
Forward Kwesi Appiah, on loan at Cambridge United from Crystal Palace, is one of several members of Avram Grant's 23-man squad set to make their first appearance at the tournament.
Baba Rahman, Daniel Amartey, Frank Acheampong and David Accam will all be making their AFCON debuts.
However, there is disappointment for midfielder Ibrahim Moro as well as defenders Samuel Inkoom and Kwabena Adusei, with that trio all missing out after initially being named in Grant's provisional squad for the competition.
Ghana start their AFCON campaign a week on Monday against Group C rivals Senegal in Mongomo.

As midfielder, Wilgus has emphasized the importance of transitioning and getting back to defend the opponents’ attack – a skill that head coach Julene Williamson is hard-pressed about.
The defense has carried a lot of attention this preseason, too, as much of the backfield is left to be rebuilt, following last year’s senior class.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the team was getting back on track after a long holiday weekend.
The Lady Indians’ field hockey team will travel to Red Lion Christian Academy on Monday, Sept. 14, at 4 p.m. for the season-opener. They will follow that up with two home games, the first against Caesar Rodney on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 4 p.m., followed by a Saturday game against Woodbridge at 11 a.m. | 2019-04-23T16:00:43Z | http://www.coastalpoint.com/37518/feature/field-hockey-season-coming-together-ir |
