en | N/A | N/A | This post focuses on a specific grammatical section of English grammar which is known as ‘number’. Many IELTS candidates find it difficult to differentiate between singular and plural numbers in Reading and Writing modules. This post discusses some common methods/ rules of ‘singular’ and ‘plural’ numbers with examples. Hopefully, candidates will learn the words and find it easy to understand ‘subject-verb agreement’ because it depends highly on ‘number’ (numbers decide the form of verbs used in a sentence).
In English grammar ‘Number’ is a grammatical category that relates to nouns, pronouns, adjectives and verbs. ‘Number’ tell us whether a noun or pronoun is one, two or more and they are significant in grammar to understand ‘subject-verb’ agreement.
There are two types of number; singular and plural.
This is used when a noun or pronoun refers to one item.
This is used when nouns or pronouns refers to two or more items.
Countable nouns have not only singular but also plural forms.
Uncountable nouns (generally) have singular form only.
The followings are some common rules or methods for singular and plural numbers.
01 Add ‘s’ after nouns.
Fish: Brothers: Alice has two brothers.
Brethren: The brethren of the club are now active.
Cloths: Rayan bought some cloths.
Clothes: She put on new clothes everyday.
Indexes: Indexes of books are helpful for readers.
Indices: Students of mathematics must learn the indices carefully.
Fishes: Different types of fishes are available in the market.
Fish: The boys are catching fish.
I hope these rulessingular and plural numbers. There are some other rules which you can find in a good grammar book. You can study them and learn as much as possible. Remember to use these words in sentences so that you can differentiate easily. |
en | N/A | N/A | Staying safe on RLV
While a fringe group of players in our kinky community might be fine with that, and enjoy this interaction as a part of their role play, most people are usually not OK with stuff happening to them out of the blue, followed by creepy extortion "role play".
Some people get really scared and upset. It gives RLV a bad rap, and ultimately ruins it for all of us.
I will keep this dry and to the point, so you can fix yourself quickly and stay safe in the future. Once you are done, please be smart and read my post to the end to de-sheep and educate yourself. ♥
If you are wearing a Peanut N°9 or Heartcore collar proceed as follows:
Make sure your collar said: Relay offline.
Use your Personal Remote's relay button
*relay
/1*relay
Type in the Nearby Chat:
/1 RED
Find the setting to disable "Remote scripted viewer controls"
Disable the "Remote scripted viewer controls"
Restart your viewer and teleport away
Go back to Preferences and re-enable "Remote scripted viewer controls"
In the Firestorm viewer this setting can be found in Preferences > Firestorm > Extras
To stay safe in the future:
Stop using Auto mode in your relay unless you are an advanced RLV user
Or uninstall the RLV relay from your collar with <yourprefix> rm relay
Before I can answer that, I have to explain what RLV actually is. I will try my best to do thatLet's begin with a brief history lesson.
Finally you could be tied up in a role play, without being able to get out anymore on your own. Nice!
As you can see, the "RLV" was quickly adapted by viewer developers and players alike. It is a cool idea because it really enhances the experience for one of the largest player bases on Second Life®.
There is nothing inherently bad about RLV, none of it is made with malicious intent, and when we talk about RLV Relay griefing, we aren't referring to flaws in RLV itself that make it prone to abuse.
Now that you know what RLV is, I want to tell you how RLV works.
When you do that, the box tells you
because every New Script has a function included by default, called

character, RLV will treat it as a command. If I add this line of code
llOwnerSay("@detach=n");

To help you understand more easily, let's take a quick look at the authorization styles in my collars first.
On my collars you always have to add someone first before they can play with you at all. You can authorize Owners, Trusted, a Group, the whole Public, or someone who captures you temporarily.
That means you generally know what's going on, and who is doing what, with the exception of Public mode, which is a lower authorization level. The most powerful RLV feature of my collars, the RLV Terminal, can't be accessed by avatars who are authorized through Public mode for example.
The RLV Relay is used when your playmate accesses a furniture's menu, to scan for you, and uses this menu to grab you onto the furniture. (Please, stop rolling your eyes if you are a more tecchy type. I'm really trying to explain this for everyone to understand.) Instead of using the collar's force-sit feature, the furniture is sending the RLV command to your collar. The collar forwards this command to a script, and that script says it as a
by an item that belongs to you.
If the item belongs to somebody else, then the command needs to be
Why use a RLV Relay at all?
Most RLV related features are more robust in my collars than they ever were in any of the "RLV scripted furniture" that is floating around out there. You don't need a RLV relay to be sat and locked on a bondage contraption, cage or bed. My collars have a sophisticated force-sit feature already.
Sadly though, there used to be much misinformation in the SL kink scene, where players and creators had it thumped into their heads that a RLV relay had to be an integral part of a collar.
can restrict and control them. Unfortunately though, that is exactly what happens when the RLV relay is set to Auto mode.
The relevant point here is
Finally we can talk about the griefing so that it makes sense. Now, what exactly is going on there?
, that teleports the victim to a different region. This is particularly effective in areas, such as Arcadia and the Temple of the Collar™, where we have many avatars wearing collars or other bondage toys that may react to these commands.
See, when I'm around at that time, I will usually let the griefer linger for a moment so I can make my screenshots for the abuse report and bust them red-handed. Then I bitch-ban them, and soon after, usually half a dozen or so guests come at me and accuse me of teleporting them out of the sim. I calm down as many as I can before losing my patience and bitch-ban some of them too.
I would like see people who really want a relay, to opt for a dedicated RLV Relay HUD. I'd like to see people use collar folders in a relaxed and easy manner, and rather go with CTS Wardrobe if they need something more involved, and I don't want to compete with Kyrah Abattoir or Marine Kelley in the cuffs department, because their cuffs already kick ass and look great.

Wendy Starfall wishes a happy Earth Day 2019
Alright then! I thought I'd write a blog post today to wish everyone a happy earth day, and to bubble a bit about the change I made to the new RLV Folders feature that ships with Peanut 9 Build 203 : )
Every year on April 22 I celebrate Earth Day, and it's actually a really important love nature, and thanks to this love I was able to overcome many big challenges in my life.
When I was little I had these huge allergies always in the spring. I'd have to use inhalers, and when everyone else played outside, I'd sit in my room reading Momo or Sophie's World, and only ended up having adventures in my head, when I really wanted to be outside and have real adventures....
I wouldn't accept this, and eventually my little girl mind came up with the following logic:
"Wendy. Could you kindly spare us the hippy bs, please?"
(haha that sounds something I would say though), let me tell you this:
Many people have allergies in spring, and many more people on Second Life
are in this virtual world because they are enabled to do stuff that they can't do in the real life, more often than not due to chronic disease or disabilities.
I'm hoping that my little story will give you some courage on this beautiful Earth Day. ♥
(By the way..12 years ago on Earth Day I joined SL
So... I cooked up a neat, little update for my Peanut N°9 collar version. Build 203!
The important difference is a change in the new RLV Folders because these caused so much drama recently. I already updated the manual page which should be a bit shorter now than before.
Some users wanted to have different categories than the ones we chose with our community, others wanted to have the new "wear & lock" style but with everything else the same as it was in the old RLV Folders feature, but these old folders unfortunately can't function like that as both scripts are a fundamentally different logic, this is not something I can (or would even want to) mix.
It's not easy to please everyone, and yeah, there will always be someone who can't be fully satisfied, but I think for the vast majority of users every wish can be fulfilled if they follow this simple advice:
The new RLV Folders explained (again)
categories, where the
category is only for the wearer of the collar, and the
category is for the wearer and authorized avatars.
category is very useful if you want to quickly add or remove HUDs, such as the Maitreya body, or Catwa head HUDs, or different foot shapes, or a hug tool, and also lock this stuff.
All that needs to be done for the setup is to:
Create a folder called .private (including the period)
The previous version of my new folders feature had generic categories that were determined by the feedback I got from the Fire Flower community. Now, it's not a big secret that I didn't really dig these categories, but I did my job and fulfilled this demand as promised. The outcome was that a lot of people who first chose to not to participate in the folder discussion, got angry, rude and incredibly toxic at the prospect of having to create a handful file folders in their SL inventory....
I still don't understand why those users didn't simply opt-in for the legacy folders and save themselves the effort. I also don't understand why they had to egg other users on to refrain from using the new folders feature. I've read some chat history where a newbie is trying to figure out #RLV Folders and got so discouraged by the back-to-the-stone-age commandos that she gave up.
to have a great time. I can't for the life of me imagine that getting super worked up "because Wendy Starfall made a new feature" is your idea of a great time.
Where do I get thing!?

en | N/A | N/A | WILMINGTON – After a tough stretch to start the season, which saw them go 1-3 in their first four matches, the Wilmington High Boys Tennis Team bounced back on Tuesday afternoon with an impressive 5-0 win over the Middlesex League Freedom Division. rival Stoneham.
Stoneham snapped a three-match losing streak on Tuesday’s win over the Wildcats and a signal to return to the playoffs with a familiar 10-0 regular season in the Freedom Division.

The Wildcats also saw two doubles teams dominate their way to victory, with sophomore Eric Packer and junior Owen Mitchell cruising to a 6-0, 6-0 victory over freshman Michael Smaroff and sophomore Ryan Weinstein. -2, 6-0 victory in second doubles.
The Wildcats had a tough 4-1 loss to the Freedom Division rival Wakefield the day after Stoneham was particularly pleased with the win. The Wildcats had a defeated Wakefield double during the regular season last year, but it was a different story this time around.
Anay Gandhi certainly appeared in his first singles match, earning a straight set 6-3, 6-4 victory over Ben Palmer.
The second and third singles did not go as well as the Wildcats, with Anuj Gandhi dropping a 6-1, 6-1 decision to Wakefield freshman sensation Luke Greif, while Karani dropped a 6-2, 7-5 decision to Matt Connelly.

Prior to Wakefield, the Wildcats had dropped a 4-1 decision to Middlesex League Liberty Division rival Arlington last Thursday, in a match which Mailey felt his team had beaten very well. 6-3, 6-4 victoryatertown High School for a 4:00 pm start. They will thenon Monday, April 25 at home against Melrose.
Heading into the season, the Wilmington High girls tennis team knew they were playing against the Middlesex League, facing Liberty Division rivals like Reading, Winchester and their first three matches in Arlington.
The Wildcats would have expected that they would have dropped three straight matches to start the season with scores of 4-1, 5-0 and 5-0, respectively. straight sets.
But things have been looking up for the Wildcats in their past two matches. While they may not have been able to pick up their first win of the season, dropping to 0-5 with a 4-1 loss to Wakefield on Monday and a 3-2 loss to Stoneham on Tuesday, the Wildcats were much more competitive, offering A glimpse of improvements they have already made in the coming season, and hopefully continue to grow in the coming weeks.
In the Wakefield match, the second singles at Alyssa Fricia Play, picked up by Lone Win as she defeated Annie King in straight sets with the same 6-4, 6-4 scores.
At first singles, Shubhangi Tripathi had a real tough match with Megan Cohen. Cohen won the first set 6-4, and then the second set was tied at 6-6 with Cohen winning the tiebreaker, 10-5.
At third singles, Wakefield defeated Carolyn Haas-Timms of Emma Fitzgerald, 6-0 and 6-3.
In doubles play, the first team of sophomores Madison Benoit and Sophia LaVita were defeated by Xoni Watson and Haliy Ogier with scores of 6-2 and 6-4. Then the second pair of senior Maddie Ahern and junior Marni McBride fell to straight sets in Sydney Moon and Ariannah Tringali, 6-1 and 6-1.
In the Stoneham match, Fricia kept up her strong play as she topped Chloe Noman, 6-0 and 6-1, giving her two straight match victories. The other win came from the first doubles team of Benoit and LaVita, who defeated Marcidie Boardan and Melis Beloglu, 6-1 and 7-5.
In the other three matches, Tripathi was defeated by Grace Brugan, 6-3 and 6-4, and Haas-Timm was topped by Teagan McCullough, 6-4, 6-1. Finally, senior Medha Pal and junior Julia Kane put forward strong efforts but fell short of teammates Jayne Byrne and Maddie Dileo, who won 6-1 and 6-1.

en | N/A | N/A | Update for 12/13/17
Are you looking for a comic that will take a little bit of awkwardness and keep right on going with it until you’re no longer sure of the hero/villain of the piece! Then do I have a comic for you! Eh, maybe it’s not fair to declare either of these people as a villain or a hero, that’s for you to decide. Things start off with a young woman coming home with some groceries. She notices her downstairs neighbor staring at her out the window as she gets home and calls a friend about it, and it’s obviously something that happens on a regular basis. The guy never leaves the house and creeps her out in general, so she decides to do a bit of research to find out about him. She discovers that he’s a cartoonist who hasn’t published anything for several years, but quickly runs into a wall in her research when the landlady refuses to offer any information. She then manages to get her hands on his apartment keys, leaving only the slight problem of being unable to break into his place because he never leaves. This is when the awkwardness and the tension really gets going. Things end on a real _____ note (I don’t want to give away the ending by saying what kind of note), with some real ambiguity about who is or isn’t doing the right thing. It’s certainly engrossing, with all kinds of open-ended questions about boundaries (real and imagined) between neighbors. $5
Update for 12/7/17
Poopsheet, a gentle piece of advice for your monthly mini comic service: put a clearly visible link to it on your main page somewhere! I eventually had to back out of your site and try again through Google to get the link, and that’s only because I knew it existed, which most people don’t yet because it’s a new (and great) idea. Unless there is a link that I just missed because I’m a dummy, but if that’s the case other dummies might want to read comics too, so make it idiot proof! That’s enough time on my teeny tiny soapbox today, how’s the monthly comic this time around? It’s a collection of strips from various artists, with stories dealing with Caesar Meadows showing various ways to start a strip, Roger Langridge showing four types of panels that always work, Billy McKay discovering what lives inside of his electric razor, and Hal Mundane getting into an argument with himself and losing. This was the monthly comic for October (it’s the start of December as I write this, meaning I’m a bit behind), but there is a new comic out for October, so here’s hoping that this is all still going well for Poopsheet. If you do appreciate the idea of a monthly mini comic service, I’m thinking that subscribing yourself would be a damned fine way to show that support… $5 (monthly)

We start off by seeing some of the pictures drawn and painted by a young woman (the aforementioned “daughter”), lovely but innocuous images. To my eyes, anyway; to her father the images she’s making are baffling and seem to annoy him on a personal level. As the story unfolds we see that the family is part of a group of people who are on this planet, but that the images she’s drawing are not on this planet, meaning she’s had no way to ever see them for herself. Her answer for where she sees these images are unsatisfactory to her father, and the story continues with us seeing more of their drab life here, suffused as it is with the weight of their importance in the universe as the last of the humans, people who were chosen for this assignment. Still, art and color is a part of her life, even if the people around her can’t appreciate it. Am I starting to write like one of the synopsis on the back of these mini kus books? It’s possible, though unintentional. There’s a lot to dig into here, so give it a look! $6

So about two weeks ago I meant to put up a note here, mentioning the upcoming election, saying how I’d be too busy to post updates but that all would be back to normal soon. In other words, that’s why I haven’t been around. This will be another busy week so there’s only time for a couple of new reviews, but luckily mini kus came to the rescue with some new books.

Every year companies spend vast sums of money and time on corporate brand development and brand communication. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that most corporate brands are failing to stand out from the competition.
This isn’t an opinion; it’s a finding from our latest research. only one in four corporate brands is perceived as different from competitor brands across a range of stakeholder groups including potential employees and customers.
It might be tempting to think that your company is one of the fortunate few that has cracked the code for competitive differentiation, but our research suggests that is unlikely. The most successful corporate brands use a new approach to win stakeholder preference.
First of all, let’s take a step back and define what we mean by a corporate brand and how it is similar to and different from a product brand.
The corporate brand, however, doesn’t have a product or service tied directly to it and must appeal to more audiences. We define corporate brand as the use of those same components (language, visual imagery and actions) to signal the differentiated value of associating with a company to a wide range of stakeholders (jobseekers, target customers, social media users, etc.). Consequently, the corporate brand has a harder job to do: Connect to a broader range of audiences without the benefit of a tangible product or service.
Now, ask yourself: Do you have a winning corporate brand?
1. Your corporate brand emphasizes your company’s illustrious history, unique culture or track record for market leadership and innovation.
2. Your corporate brand emphasizes your company’s commitment to its values. For example, that your organization is dedicated to sustainability, inclusion, integrity or another similar value.
These are two of the most common brand strategies we see today, and you will notice that both focus on characteristics of your company. If either of them ring true, it’s not that your approach is wrong, per se. It’s just that you’re missing out on the single most effective approach to corporate branding — more powerful at driving brand connection than a strategy that emphasizes your company’s success or values. We call this a “personal benefits” approach to corporate branding.
3. Your corporate brand emphasizes how audiences will .
Notice that this statement did not say “feel better about the company.” By associating with the company, I feel better about myself, which results in a sense of connection to the company. |

en | N/A | N/A | interviewers will jump to conclusions about international candidates. Some may have biases about certain cultures — and letting these biases dictate the hiring decision is both wrong and illegal. For example, it is illegal to ask about race, ethnic background, or country of origin in a job interview. On the other hand, it’s okay to ask if someone is authorized to work in the U.S. or would require sponsorship to work in the U.S. — these are job-related questions. You must be prepared to address these questions if they come up.
Beyond outright bias, there are other, less malicious wrong assumptions that can be made by interviewers. For example, an interviewer may assume that you aren’t committed to staying in the U.S. long-term to grow with the company. An interviewer may also jump to the conclusion that you will have more difficulty understanding the American work culture or the company’s customers. Luckily, these misperceptions about commitment or adaptability can be easily addressed. You may consider consciously addressing them in your answers to pre-empt any concerns. For example, you could talk about adaptability and your previous work experience in the U.S. as one of your strengths or you could discuss commitment to building a career in the U.S. when asked about your goals.)

Your note serves two really important purposes for the recipient:
- Provides a reason to accept your request to connect
- Reduces the risk (or fear) of connecting with a scammer
- Proves you are a human not a bot
General Invitation Note Guidelines
These are general points to keep in mind when crafting your invitation to connect note:
- Find something in common (a person, interest, past school or employer, professional group)
Be sure you are on the person’s profile when you click on the “Connect” button.
Then “Add a note”
You may only see the option to Follow. If you click on the more button, you can see the option to invite.
Note: You may need to know the person’s email address to send the connection request. If you’ve looked at their profile (About and Contact sections) you may find the address there.
Again, make sureinvite to connect. You may be tempted to click on the “connect” button before you are on the person’s profile.
This is a basic formula you can follow:
- What you have in common or how you noticed their profile
- Why you want to connect
- Thanks or suggested next step

- Posted March 22, </s> A Canadian tobacco farmer has claimed that seven Trinidadian workers are stuck on his farm and efforts to get them home are meeting with no response.
The Reformer spoke with farmer owner and operator, Mike Bouw, who stated: “These guys seem to be stuck.”
The locals are seasonal migrant workers and Bouw stated that in the spring, area farmers fought to get their usual off-shore workers but now he can’t get his home.
Noting the closure of the Trinidad and Tobago borders since March, Bouw said it was “tricky’ to get the workers up to Canada but “now they’re in limbo with winter coming”.
“We have nothing for them to do so they’re just sitting around the bunkhouse,” Bouw said, adding that the buildings were not intended for winter living.

en | N/A | N/A | ), not only does the duration of memory shrink, but also agents become more and more impatient: in the extreme, they want the future to happen "right now." In other words, irrational exuberance may be defined as a combination of short memory and high impatience, starting whenever the perceived rate of nominal growth (or the perceived return) exceeds 8.92 percent.
Seeking to explain the link observed in 18 different countries between nominal interest rates _j_ and the perceived rate of nominal growth _z_ , we have submitted that rapid nominal growth is likely to foster impatience in the form of high discount rates. Interestingly, this psychological explanation seems compatible with a totally different theoretical proposition: the golden rule of accumulation, according to which the rate of profit on capital should be equal to the growth rate of national income.
This golden rule answers the following question: which is the optimal level of savings and therefore of investment and of capital in a growing economy? In other words, which level of capital maximizes per capita consumption through time? If investment/saving is too low, opportunities to raise future living standards are forgone. On the contrary, if investment/saving is too high, it is current consumption that is forgone. The equality of the rate of profit with the rate of growth ensures that the level of capital is optimal, in the sense that it maximizes consumption for both present and future generations. In 1947, Allais had shown that the rate of interest should be equal to zero in a stationary state. In the early 1960s, several economists, including Allais, independently generalized this result by showing that the nominal rate of interest rate in a dynamic state.
The golden rule expresses a condition for growth to be balanced through time. Its value is normative. Its potential ability to explain observed phenomena is conditioned by the resolution of two difficulties:
• First, the establishment of a link between the aggregate rate of profit and the respective yields offered by various financial instruments (deposits, bonds, equities,...).
• Second, the specification of the process whereby economic agents are led to believe ex ante that a certain assumed rate of growth in nominal income is a reasonable "expectation."
The rate of profit considered in the theory of capital should be interpreted as being a weighted-average cost of capital. Depending on the risks associated with the way capital is raised, some dispersion around this average should be expected: funds representing debt should earn less than those representing equity. In other words, it is only the weighted average of all available prospective yields that should be close to the assumed rate of growth in nominal income: deposit rates should be lower; prospective equity returns should be higher; bond yields should be somewhere between these two extremes, probably rather close to the assumed rate of nominal growth.
In any case, the main issue is the second one: since the future is uncertain, which is the assumed rate of nominal growth that economic agents effectively use to price their financial assets and liabilities? The observations presented in this chapter suggest that it is the perceived rate of nominal growthcoefficients _μ_ that we have empirically estimated are on average very close to 1, an order of magnitude consistent with the golden rule of accumulation.
8.9 Nominal Interest Rates and the Psychological Rate of Interest: Additional Questions and Insights
The raise questions, but also provide insights, which we must now discuss. The first two of them (negative liquidity premium, negative nominal interest rates) are specific to the reformulation presented in this essay. The other four (real interest rates, interest rates and the demand for money, Gibson's paradox, a comparison between the psychological rate of interest and Wicksell's natural rate of interest) also apply to Allais's initial formulation and are therefore based on his own comments.
8.9.1 Negative Liquidity Premium
In relationship 8.1, we have assumed the existence of a positive liquidity premium, which implied _λ_ > 0. From relationship 8.19, there follows
Yet, we have encountered situations where _μ_ > 1, which implies _λ_ < 0 and therefore a negative liquidity premium. Is there a contradiction between this empirical implication and our initial assumption? Not necessarily.
As we wrote the relationship
we assumed that all the other factors (e.g., custodian fee, management fee, tax, etc.) potentially contributing to the difference between the pure rate of interest and the yield on long-term government bonds could be neglected. The fact that, in some cases, we have found _μ_ to be marginally higher than 1 (for example, 1.01 in France, 1.05 in Germany, 1.02 in the United States, 1.08 in Canada) can be interpreted as proving that our assumption was too strong. If our assumption is not valid, our adjustment leads to overestimating _μ_ and therefore underestimating _λ_. If all relevant factors were properly taken into account, the liquidity premium might still be positive.
8.9.2 Negative Nominal Interest Rates
Since _z_ = _χZ_ , with _χ_ being always positive, _z_ is negative whenever _Z_ is itself negative. If the psychological rate of interest _i_ is equal to the perceived rate of nominal growth _z_ , then—under this reformulation—a negative psychological rate of interest becomes conceivable. And negative nominal interest rates become, by the same token, a mathematical possibility.
Both experience and theory suggest to disregard. Admittedre have been a few instances of very short-term government debt auctioned or briefly traded at negative nominal yield. But these examples are too isolated to invalidate the general observation that through time and space nominal interest rates have always been positive. Economic theorists have provided various rationalizations for this fact. Allais, for example, has demonstrated that while there is no reason preventing real interest rates from being negative in a barter economy, there are reasons, mainly institutional, forcing nominal interest rates to be positive in a monetary economy.
The mathematical possibility of negative nominal interest rates looks like a weak point of the reformulated theory of the psychological rate of interest. Its practical importance may, however, be very limited. In Japan, after many years of very low nominal growth, the perceived rate of nominal growth still remains positive (1.14 percent as of March 30, 2014). Despite the very sharp contraction in nominal activity posted during the US Great Depression, the perceived rate of nominal growth fell only marginally and briefly below zero (–0.49 percent in 1932, –0.69 percent in 1933). The behavior of the perceived rate of nominal growth in such extreme circumstances illustrates its low and falling elasticity with respect to actual rates of growth as it nears zero.
8.9.3 Real Interest Rates
According to the theory of the psychological rate of interest, as reformulated in this book, nominal interest rates are linked to the perceived rate of nominal growth _z_ , which is in turn a function of the sequence of past rates of nominal growth. Thus, this theory does not break down nominal interest rates into real interest rates, on one hand, and an inflation risk premium, on the other. Therefore, neither does it have to make specific assumptions about the normal level of "real interest rates," nor does it have to deal with the potential variability of real interest rates as economic conditions change. Such parsimony is an advantage.
The reasons for directly explaining nominal interest rates by nominal growth are the following:
• If one has to pay a certain interest for borrowed money out of current income, what matters is how fast nominal income grows, or falls, regardless of the split between prices and volumes. A borrower's creditworthiness is as much affected by a 10 percent fall in units sold, prices being unchanged, as by a 10 percent fall in prices, units sold being constant. In both cases, nominal revenues fall by 10 percent, denting the ability to service debt out of current income.
• Economists have conjectured very early that profit "expectations" are the key driver of the demand for loanable funds. In that sense, the rate of interest springs from the rate of profit. And the rate of profit is a function of nominal profits, which in turn depend on total nominal spending
• From the lender's point of view, lending capital at a rate independent of the real growth rate of the economy (i.e., on the basis of inflation alone, implicitly assuming a constant real rate of interest) would be tantamount |

en | N/A | N/A | This morning's opening session was a panel moderated by Esther Dyson on the Identity of Things. The debate naturally moved to what does it mean for all of the things I buy to be individually identified. Who manages the relationships? Me? Others? A near-term example that can shed light on some of the questions is SpeedPass, the RFID devices that are being distributed in urban areas to charge tolls to cars as they speed by rather than making the cars stop and pay the toll. These can, of course, be used to track the vehicle in other places as well, and some people are concerned about the "big bother" aspects.
The question I have is, does anyone care? Now that's asked somewhat tongue in cheek since the debate that occurred today in Denver indicates that there are people who care. Even so, consumers have shown their ever increasing willingness to give Albertson's just about any information Albertson's might want to collect in order to save $0.50 on a six-pack of Coke. I think if you tell people that they can have a suitcase that tells you what you're missing after you pack it (based on RFID tags on the clothing), they'll jump for it. Sure, there will be some local news stories about how scary this is and some people will spend lots of money removing the tags or buying devices to kill them, but most people just won't care.

Where is Flock? I use it sometimes myself but really like Chrome if they had a better way to keep bookmarks open. Otherwise you go through two or three steps to open them and click one and the list closes. Unless there is a Windows way to keep it open that then would be my biggest complaint about it.

Flock is a specialized Web browser intentionally designed to keep you in close contact with your friends. It’s what you would call a social browser. The only one of its kind that I know of.
Many people don’t like it because it causes distraction and want to concentrate in what they’re doing and not constantly reading what other people are doing.
I love Flock. It’s my default browser. But that’s me. Its global market share is almost negligible.
Chrome is great for speed and simplicity. I don’t use too many bookmarks, so that isn’t a problem for me. I mostly use my bookmarks tool bar and click them when I need them. Easy and simple.
Firefox is all what you want it to be. Extensions are endless.
Those are my three favorite browsers in that order; Flock, Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks for dropping by Abe. It’s always nice to hear from you.

Airline profit margins in the second quarter of 2010 were the highest since 2002, according to financial data released Monday.
For the April-to-June period, the nation's airlines reported a 9% profit margin, or $3.0quarterly report.
The most profitable segment of the industry wawhich reported an average 9.9% profit margin. Larger network reported average profits of 9% for the quarter, while regional airlines, such as American Eagle and SkyWest, reported profits averaging 6.1%
In the same period, the nation's 10 biggest airlines collected $2.1 billion in fees for checked bags, reservation changes, transporting pets and other extra services. That's a 16the bureau's financial report.
"They have a lot of money to make up," he said of the airlines.
Herbst said airlines boosted their profit margins by eliminating low-profit routes, parking unused airplanes and flying planes closer to capacity than ever before.
In June, the nation's airlines filled an average of 86.2% of their seats, the highest of any June e extra fees also contributed to the high profit margins, Herbst said.
Revenues from such fees constituted an average of 6% of the total revenues of the 28 carriers that reported such income. Spirit Airlines reported that 24.2% of its revenue came from such fees, the highest rate of any carrier, according to the bureau's financial report.

Then you'd be getting close.
The commission has been preparing for that by stocking most of the 3.2 million brown, brook and rainbow trout in its hatcheries. The last of the preseason stockings take place this week. More than 1,000 stream sections and 100 lakes will have gotten fish by Saturday.
“A lot of fly fishermen who don't care about keeping trout anyway and don't want to fight the crowds will fish them. Some will do that for the whole first week,” agreed Dan McMaster of Ligonier Outfitters. “But it's never a lot of people on the first day.”
“A long stretch of Laurel Hill is stocked from up near the Turnpike (in Somerset) all the way down to Confluence, with Laurel Hill Lake in the middle,” Lorson said. “It's got two delayed-harvest stretches, one in kind of the upper portion above the lake and one in the lower portion, as well as lots of water under statewide regulations.”
It really comes down to picking the kind of experience you want to have.

en | N/A | N/A | Im going to chime in here as a Parent of 2 girls!
The little situations like cardcrazes just annoy me and require only impulse instant reaction...If I had to take a deep breath and think about it, i kind of feel I would be no different than my girls retorting "wait a minute!"
Ruling by fear.. Ha..If children were indeed ruled by fear of action/reaction then maybe there would be a heckuva lot less heinous crimes committed by todays youth. An eye for an eye punishment system instilled by parents would definetly deter some of todays malcontents. I for one do not spare the rod, BUT.. to this date my girls have never given me a reason to actually use it!
CardCraze's father didnt rule by fear.. He simply got "instant results" in another form for his son's lack of performance!
I will not criticize another parents method as long as it is effective, seeing cardcraze's post here further supports the effectiveness of his decision!
A little less psychology in my world!
trevor, you posting this here is the drama.. It is not our sympathy or support you need.. you just simply wanted some attention!Now that is the correct analysis in psychological terms , Tom!
remember a while back when my mom took all my mail and hid it?
wait till you have a job and your boss tells you to do something and you say no.......FIRED. Wait till your in college and your professor tells you to turn in your project for the semester in on a certain day and you tell him no or straight up don't do it........
Trevor seems to feel that he wasn't respected, but didn't show respect either. Would his cards be fine at this moment if he treated his Dad the same way that he wants to be treated?
By the way, after re-reading the initial post, I'm a little confused as to how some of the cards are "damaged" and some are "missing". I wonder what "missing" means...
but in all seriousness.......he's crying about not being respected?He needs to understand that he doesn't deserve respect...
My respect for my parents is immense. My fear of embarassing them is still immense to this day also, therefore why I still keep myself in line!
That is all I wish of my children, their respect and their effort!
Dont ever give me a reason to not want to take credit for you as my child!
WOW!Think about that. That line kind of stuck with me forever like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth!
Now he might have told you this after a backhand to the face for "talking back" or disobeying him or this might have simply been a discussion when one of us had done something stupid like try to jump a car on a bicycle but either way it was very very effective Preaching!
My mom on the other hand had a couple of implements of destruction that we came to fear. A razor sharpening strap that was my great-grand fathers!and a nice 1" thick oak paddle that actually was cracked after it connected with my gluttomous maximous one too many times! |
en | N/A | N/A | Apple has patented an idea for potentially working around antenna signal issues in laptops and smartphones: build the antenna into the product logo. The logo antenna, as Apple calls it, avoids radio signal blocking metal in electronic devices by positioning antennas behind the Apple logo, according to Patently Apple.
However, from what I’ve learned, the solution implemented by the proposed invention isn’t perfect. A user, who goes out of his way to cover the antenna with his hand will still cause the degradation of reception in his Computing Device, so users will still need to be warned that, as is true of all such devices, there is a right way to hold the device so that its reception isn’t diminished. And while Apple’s invention may do the best job of isolating the antenna from the conductive interference of a device’s other components and systems, it won’t perfectly block such interference. |
en | N/A | N/A | some of the Adsense sellers are using these domains to approve accounts; their luck. You can use .xyz for Adsense approval because this extension is cheap and it is easy to approve on .xyz and those who can afford the domains like .com, .net can purchase and use these domains.
Yes, domain age matters a lot in Adsense approval. The older is the domain, the more advantage for Adsense approval rather than new domains as per my experience. Let me give you an example of mine that I can easily get an Adsense approval for the domain which was registered in 2013 than a brand new domain in 2017.
Existing Backlinks: Backlinks are very important when you build up a new website or blog but in this case, you don’t need to build any new backlinks because they’re already there for the older domains. No worries at all! Backlinks are a boosting factor too for your website SEOthen I will suggest you watch my video lecture on How to find expired domains with Handsome DA, PA.
Your site shouldey’re seeking.
You may have heard about ‘content is king’. Yes, I also believe in the content. Content is the much important step for your Approval. If your content is good then you can get approved by Adsense without any traffic but if your content is not good then your account can be disapproved even if you’ll have the traffic on your site/blog. Your content should be unique and plagiarism free in order to get approved for Adsense.
Here is a Question that might click in your mind: Can I use rewrite articles for Adsense approval?
The answer is yes, if your rewrite articles are 100% Plagiarism-free then you can use these type of articles for Adsense approval but rewrite article can harm your Adsense account in future if Google found out about it. That’s why I don’t recommend it and will suggest you go with unique/self-written articles.
Google doesn’t say to use affiliate ads or third-party ads on your blog/site, but as you know here we are talking about guaranteed Adsense approval so make sure not to use any 3rd party ads on your blog till you don’t get Adsense approval. So stay away from Infolinks, Chitika, Yahoo ads and other third-party ad networks to get the first impression clean on your site by Google employees because they hate third-party ads on the sites.
Social signals do matters for AdSense approval, well not too much but still social signals matters. AdSense approval doesn’t matter on social signals but if you will give some socials signals to your site you can get the fast approval from AdSense.
If you bought expired domains then you don’t have to give social signals for your site because it’s possible that social signals are already given to it by its previous owner.
Email does matters. Once you have your own domain then create an email ID with your domain like [email protected] to apply for AdSense program.
Let’s suppose I’m applying for AdSense for my site www.itayyab.com and I have two email addresses; the first one is [email protected] and the second one is [email protected]. Which one will look more professional?
Indeed, the first one. When you will apply for AdSense the first thing they will review is your email. If your email looks professional, then you will get Approval for sure because the ‘first impression is the last impression’.
Many people don’t know that traffic is not the factor to get approved for AdSense but if you have some decent traffic on your site/blog then it will help you to get approval fast from Google Adsense. If you have some traffic, then Alexa rank will be good in numbers.
But if you don’t have good traffic on your site then no worries you can still get approved by Adsense without any traffic. Google does not consider this as the main factor. So take it easy and apply for the Adsense.
Now I’m going to explain you an exact method for getting AdSense Approval for any country.
Very first and important step is to buy a good domain name. Some peoples go for cheap or free domains like .tk, cf, ga etc and then complain that why AdSense is not approving on their blog/site. So I will suggest you buy a top level domain like .Com, .Net, Org.
The question is that if you are going to buy a top level domain then why not to buy an old or expired domain? Because an old/expired domain has many benefits as I mentioned above. Let me mention again. Expired domains already have social signals, backlinks, reputation, good Alexa rank and good DA PA. I mean an old domain almost have all the factors which are necessary to approve from Adsense including social signals. So, this is the first step that should be clear from your side.
I already mentioned the importance of a simple blog/site design. In order to get approved for Adsense then your blog/site design should be Simple, Responsive, Clean and Professional.
Always use a lightweight theme, if you are using WordPress then you can find many professional looking themes from ThemeForest but if you don’t want to invest then go with free themes. There are many free WP themes available which are simple, professional and fast.
Publish minimum 20 posts and each post should contain the minimum content of five hundred words. Write three posts with 1000 to 1500 words as well. Avoid Article Spinning. Don’t use copyrighted images you can find royalty free images easily on the internet. So, that’s it for posts. Let’s move to the next step.
If you don’t know how to make these pages just go to your niche-related site and learn from there.
Activate the SSL on your site or blog. Cloud flare is the best option if you are looking for Free SSL for your website.
Submit your website to Google webmasters and submit XML sitemap. Wait for the all posts to index. Remember, that you shouldn’t apply for the AdSense till all of your posts get indexed.
Wait till your application got approved.
And at the last, apply for the AdSense.

No. A semicolon separates two things that could each stand as a sentence, it simply gives them a greater association. "The tests that matter most" is not a full sentence, it is a noun phrase.
It's also not a good idea to use a semicolon at the end of a clause which is supposed to be a question. It can confuse the reader.

en | N/A | N/A | NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Stocks finished an excruciatingly volatile week on a strong note Friday, with buyers snapping up drug, bank and Internet shares. The dollar's surge and stability in a consumer sentiment reading also provided equities with a favorable backdrop.

And chips failed to respond favorably to an analyst upgrade of the equipment segment.

Others agreed..
"If only because consumer sentiment has held up comparatively well given the latest dive by share prices, household expenditures and the economy-at-large just might emerge relatively unscathed from the latest drubbing of equities," Moody's concluded.

en | N/A | N/A | God pushes me forward. It is my innermost desire to live in repose but, more often than not, I find myself being thrown into the midst of tumults and revolutions. I am doing this because of my love for democracy.
My deep-seated belief is that democracy will only become the greatest form of government on earth if it is transformed from thin theory to thick practice.
Like Daniel Webster ‘The Great Expounder of the Constitution’, I find myself saying today: .”.
It is my utmost desire that, after all is said and done, we all will be ablee tired, aren’t we, of being trampled with the iron feet of oppression. The time for democracy is now or never. Hear me for my cause dear reader.
“It is clear that as things stand at present, history will record Nelson Mandela as the first black statesman, as opposed to politician, to be produced by Africa”.
In a somewhat succinct definition of statesman and politician, Smith says: “A statesman thinks of the next generation and a politician thinks of the next election”.
I feel it incumbent upon me, obviously as a bonafide citizen of the Republic of Zimbabwe, in this my humble contribution, to bring to the fore that it’s high time VaMugabe started thinking about the next generation i.e. nation first as opposed to his selfish interests.
My candid and honest opinion is that Mugabe still has the opportunity to democratise the politics of Zimbabwe. If he does this earlier the better so that history will at least remember him as an arrogant tyrant who made history by democratising an authoritarian state that he himself had created.
I am thinking, Cde President, about the many Zimbabweans, yes my brothers and sisters who are still smothering or is it suffocating in an airtight cage of poverty in a dual society. I am thinking about the fact: these brothers and sisters aconditions in both rural and urban areas, still attending inadequate schools faced with improper educational facilities.
And I am saying, staying in office until you are an old, old man is morally wrong and not in the best interest of the country. Your overstaying in office has resultantly made you blind to what is right and this in turn has ruined the cause of many of us (the younger generation) who are innocent.

Overstaying in power is a commandist and dictatorial approach to governance. Overstaying in power in today’s circumstance is an inappropriate tool, particularly in the era of democratic governance. Hazvina kukwana kuti takarwa hondo nekuti isu tinoda kuziva kuti takazoitei tarwa hondo yacho.

I don't think 36 is to old for a child. The 10 year old is an advantage because he is pretty self sufficient and would be able to help you with the new baby. My oldest was 8 when I had my youngest, he has always been a great help and was always wanting to do stuff for his sister.
I am the youngest of 10 kids the closest in age is 14 years older and my mom was 48 when she had me.

I don't think 36 is too old for a new baby.
My mom was 36 when she had my sister. We are the only 2 children she had (biologically). We are exactly 13yrs & 6 days apart.
Just this past Aug, I gave birth to my first child Ethan.
I turned 36 in July.
So I really don't think 36 is too old. You may feel more tired b/c you aren't in the same youthful condition you were when you had your son but you will adjust.

I have 4 older children, then we had a 7 year gap and we had 7 more children. They are 23, 21, 20, 18, 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 4 1/2, and 3 years old. I had the last baby when I was 39. All of my children are healthy. I did not have any pregnancy problems and the last baby was the easiest delivery.
The 23 yr. old just got married this summer, but all the others are at home. The older ones always help with the little ones and take them places. My 21 yr. old daughter takes the 11 yr. old boy to hear concerts in the park with her young adult group from church (they are between 18 and 26 yrs. old). They never mind him going with them. When they have friends over to play games they let the 11 yr. old stay up and play with them. She also takes them to the theater every week in the summer when they have free movies (all 7 little boys by herself). My 18 yr. old son loves his little brothers and never minds babysitting. He wrestles with them and teaches them art and how to wear clothes or do their hair.
answers from State College on October 07, 2006
It IS about being married. If he isn;t ready to make a commitment to you he is NOT going to make a commitment to a child. This is not about religion, morales, etc. This is about your responsibility as a mother. It takes two to raise a child one can make it work, but it is NOT optimal (study after study after study shows this!). Make the commitment to eachother first, then to a totally dependant innocent. The next thing you need toa sk yourself is what happens if it isn't a normal healthy baby? Will you not want it? Do you want a child that you can love or do you want a peice of you and your "boyfriend" to live on as a token of your love. You either want a child unconditionally or you don't.
I see this everyday and can't understand people who can't make a commitment to eachother and have no qualms about another human being. It is NOT just a piece of paper. It is a contract...a legal obligation to do your best to make it work and stick around. That is why divorce isn't easy. Breaking up just means "moving out". Take a stand and set a good example for your current child. Then take the next step if you can handle the consequences.
answers from Pittsburgh on October 09, 2006
A new baby is a blessing. My youngest is 2....and the next older one is 8. My older children love and play with the littler ones and intend to be responsible for each other for life. My younger ones weren't planned, and I was much, much older than you when they came along. Yes, you need to be a little more concerned about health, yours and the babies'. Yes, you will be older and little more tired running after a toddler, but you already know that. Having this new baby has brought us closer with our oldest children and opened the door to discussing issues about their plans in life. It has also made all of us more aware and more considerate when talking to each other. A new life can bring out the best in people ! Also, I've never, ever heard anyone express true regrets about having had too many kids or having them when older....most of my friends, after expressing surprise at my last pregnancy, said that they were a little jealous. Bottom line, loving caring siblings and parents can certainly tip the scales in favor of having another baby. Good Luck ! Also...there are great ob/gyns at Magee that can answer your questions regarding age and health.
Have another!!!! I'm 35 with a 12 year old, a 3 and 1 year old. I always knew I wanted more children... unfortunately I had to find a better husband to do it with :) My older son is great with the younger ones and although I guess it isn't "ideal" I bet you find you have a lot more patience and find yourself more layed back. Good luck!
answers from Allentown on October 05, 2006
First, don't let anyone judge you on your lifes decisions. Commitment is just that and noone else can know your level of commitment. I have been with my boyfriend for 16 years, longer than many marriages, and we have a 5 1/2 year old son.
Second, I got pregnant at 36 and was 37 when I had him. He is a wonderful healthy boy. It was a bit daunting every time I had an appointment to see "advanced maternal age" on all my files but I didn't feel OLD! I did have all the tests including amnio and knew what my actions would be with any results. Many of my friends have had babies anywhere from 35-43 and all have been healthy..
Consult with your doctor but be assured, many women are having babies "later" in life.
Good luck, happiness and health.
PS did you talk to your 10 year old to get his opinion about a new sibling?
I had the same situation. I had a child from my first marriage. When my son was 9 I had another baby with my 2nd husband. I was 37.
Don't worry about the gap between the kids ages. When they are in their 20's it won't make a difference. My oldest really helps out a lot with his little brother. The little guy adores his big brother. They still fight as brothers do but they are quick to hug and make up. I didn't want my son to be an only child.
As for your age, if you are healthy you should do great. Have a check-up and go for it!
My husband had cancer and we had to go through doctor after doctor before I finally had my first child at 35, and I couldn't be happier, and we are going to try again next year, so I'll be 37 if we get lucky again. I don't think 36 is too old at all, as long as you have help with catching up on sleep--the all-nighters with the newborn were a bit harder than I think they would have been at 20.
It's fine, I personally know three sets of parents that had children around your age (some a little older even). Two of the children are young and one is my age :) All of the children and parents are doing wonderfully and none of the mothers had any complications in those situations. It is up to you, but don't worry too much about the age situation (your doctor will tell you if you are healthy enough or not).
I am 44 years young : ) My children's ages are as follows: Joe 23 (Marine Corp), twins Cristian & Dominic 17 (11th grade) and twins James & Julius 5 (kindergarten). Although I didn't plan on my youngest sons, I was happy to know they were on their way. Like you I had health concerns (I was 39 during preganancy)- I was high risk with twins and my age. Be sure that you cover your bases with your doctor he will be able to help you access your health issues. Also note that because of your age your odds are higher for multiple births, which needless to say can be quite a surprise. That was the case with my 5 year olds - they are fraternal twins as opposed to the older ones which are identical. You should talk to your doctor about that as well. As for your son, since he has been an only child this could be a double edged sword. He may have issues regarding, along with all the fuss. On the other hand, being a big brother is an honor and a role of great responsiblity for an older sibling. You may find that he is up for it. Either way - have a good talk with him and don't guess at his feelings.
If you are serious about having a child - sooner than later will be best : )
I hope this has been helpful and that you will find happiness in whatever decisions you and your family make.
PS cannot say much about the age of yourself (altho , if you and your doctor say it's fine, go for it), but as for worrying about the age difference in your children, ...here are mine.. 16, 11, and 4. It is a big change for the older siblings, but I believe it was for the better. My older two not only help out with their little sister,(oldest can babysit here and there), but it's unique watching them all grow at different levels. I've watched my friends whose kids are close in age, and I can honestly say the sibling rivalry is probably half of what they go thru.
I think getting into your 50s and 60s is too old. My mom is currently 47, and I have a little brother who will be 4 in November. Great pregnancy, VERY intelligent little boy - I say go for it, really.
That is beautiful that you two are actually planning. Usually babies come here through WOOPS! I say go for it. And done delay. The 10 yr old will love the baby. As long as you give him his share of time and don't block him out when the new baby comes.
I had my last baby at 42. I have 10 children. At 42, a new baby makes you feel young. Babies keep you young anyway. And, although I can't tell you what to do, if I were you, I would breastfeed. That keeps you real young and your husband will love the whole milk in the breast thing. Although I have none hubbies who got jealous over the baby nursing on THEIR breast.
I don't think 36 is too old. I have quite a few friends that had children into their 40's. I am usually the youngest mom at most of the things we go to with a 4 year old and I am 32.
My girlfriend's MOTHER, who is recently a new grandmother, had two babies at the same time I was having mine. She is in her 50s!! From what I know of her story, she was in a new relationship with a wonderful man who she is now married to, the first one was a surprise that they were very happy to welcome and the second was sort of planned. I think 36 is a great age to have a second baby. :) And as for your son, I happen to think 10 years old is a perfect age for a baby. He's old enough to understand what's going on and even help you out. He doesn't need as much from you now so you can devote just as much to the baby as you did to your son. Busk him how he would feel about it. I do know a few other mom's having kids at your age too, and I think as long as you're receiving good pre-natal care, you're age isn't so bad.
answers from Dover on October 05, 2006
I say go for it! Providing you are healthy the risks of complications or abnormalities are only slightly increased.
As far as whether or you get married, that's entirely your business. We live in a society where 'committed' relationships are very common. I am married, but it sure isn't the paper that makes the relationship.
I'm 24, married to a 36 year old man, with a very active 4 yr. old boy. He's the love of my life, but there are times when I think I should've waited just a little to have him. But, I wouldn't trade him for the world! As far as future children. My husband and I have decided to wait a few more years...like when our son is 6 or 7. I look at it this way... you'll have more patience and time to be with a new little one. You'll always have more than enough love for both your 10 yr. old and a baby. Don't worry what others think, go with what's in your own heart. Good luck! D.
I was 36 going on 37 when I had my first child! She will be 2 this Saturday. I never stopped to consider my age, I just knew it was time to have a child---I had waited long enough. We may still have another child, but I want to wait til my daughter is closer to 3 or 4 to enjoy her fully. By then I'll be 40+. You just need to take care of yourself properly, the right nutrition and exercise as best you can. You can't predict the health of any child no matter what your age is. I know the risks increase as you age, but you must decide if another child in your life is worth taking the risk. My daughter has an 11-1/2 yr old step-sister and they love each other alot! They both enjoy seeing each other, which is only every other weekend, but the older sis is really good with my daughter. I think they'll remain close as they grow up despite the age difference. That's something else you can't predict--whether your son will get along with a new sibling or not. There could be jealous feelings (which Kait has for Nicole at times) but there could also be protective and proud feelings as well. I wouldn't base having another child on what the exsisting child wants or doesn't want. A decision like that is between the mom and dad, but it couldn't hurt to get his input. I've thrown that question at Kait already---what do you think of another little brother or sister? She has mixed feelings, but mostly gives us her blessings.
Well, I hope this helped a bit.

I just had a new baby girl this month and my oldest son is 8 and 1/2. He loves being a big brother and he is a big help as well. I couldnt have chosen a better age difference. I think your age isnt a big concern as long as your healthy and have it in your heart to have a new little one in your life!
I wouldn't worry too much about your age. I just had my first son at 35. Everything went well and I had absolutely no complications. My OB explained since I was considered AMA(advanced maternal age OUCH!), there were a few more tests I had to go through...for down's syndrome and the like, also I had to do two blood sugar tests, beyond that, it was completely routine. If your doctor thinks you are in good shape and has no worries....go for it! I wouldn't worry too much about your son,In my area, they offer sibling classes for children to take with their parents to help prepare for a new baby. That would be a good idea to look into that. Hope it goes well. Best wishes!! S.
I am 42 now I have three children 14, 11, and 4. I was 38 when I had my third child. It was a big age difference as you can see. My 11 year old is a boy as is the 4 yr old. They of course get on each other's nerves at times , like all brothers do, however they play together. The older ones helped when he was a baby. it was and still is great. As for your age. It seems to be the norn these days to have children later in life. My 4 yr old is healthy and active. The pregnancy was wonderful. Very "textbook". Usually after 35 the doctors suggest an amniocentesis. I chose not to. Again I had no complications. It was truly a wonderful experience.

en | N/A | N/A | The past few weeks flew by this summer! It's hard to believe that in a few short weeks my team will be starting up at school and I'll be back teaching in the classroom. This summer has been incredibly fast but also highly eventful. In the past few weeks we have visited Winthrop, Revere, Quincy, South Boston, Eastie, and the HarborWalk. Castle island was first opened in 1951, it is mainly known for their famous stand Sullivan's in South Boston and this. Castle Island is now the home of bike lanes, a playground, and picnic opportunities but before this it was a military site in 1643. Castle Island is a special location to me, my grandfather and I would visit almost weekly when I was little, sharing a donut at the end of the fishing pier and counting the planes departing and arriving from Logan Airport. I especially loved to watch the fishermen, reeling in their catch of Striped bass, Black sea bass, and Bluefish. This week my group spent some time exploring the area, and today a few members of the group are going to the beach bash at Carson Beach, which you might read more about in their blogs. These past few weeks have been very eventful! We met with Carolina from the MIT SEA grant to learn about Bivalves, Laura from the National Parks Service to learn about the MIMIC program and invasive species in the harbor, as well as a group from UMASS Boston at Coughlin Park in Winthrop to learn about beach profiling. Each different experiment gave each of our group members a new insight as to how various environmental factors impact our harbor. The Sea Grant targets many of the problems that we’ve been learning about throughout the summer: sea level rise, noise pollution, ocean acidification, and coastal erosion. They do case studies and write outreach proposals for the state of Massachusetts to improve the health of coastal ecosystems -- similar to the marshes that we’ve visited this year -- and to help facilitate sustainable fishing, they promote specific gear and community fisheries. At Coughlin Park in Winthrop we learned about beach profiling. We used manual and automatic methods to track the effects of erosion on the beach. Our group prefered to use the GPS (automatic) method, it was accurate to the centimeter, so we felt much more comfortable using this method. The manual method required more team effort, and it was more challenging to learn but once we got the hang of it we were able to take accurate measurements. On the harbor walk, we met with a Park Ranger named Laura and the MIT intern Yosef to learn about tunicates and algae. This was my favorite of all three experiments. We also used the underwater drones to take a look at what lies under the docks at Rowes Wharf. We saw Sea Vase Tunicates, which look like ghosts when we used the drones but they were so beautiful! Finally, this week was my first ever Fish Derby! My team was on the Belle and we caught a few Black Bass. I didn't catch anything big but I did take a pictrue with a striper and I brought some fish home for my family to fry up! |

Polish: Wiewiórka
Yiddish and Romanian, unsurprisingly, follow suit.
As for whiteness, there may be something to that; the Breton word for squirrel is “gwiñver,” which to my barely-acquainted-with-Celtic eyes suggests whiteness. Although now that I look it up, the Welsh word is “gwiwer,” which resembles the Slavic root. Hmm.
Huh. They’re both from the PIE “wēwer,” which also gave rise to Ger. Eichhorn. Silly me; I didn’t know that. Don’t know enough to say whether there are any cognates in Indic/Iranian.
Ben, so what -is- the English etymology, please?
What it doesn’t say is that the Greek “oura” (tail) is from the same IE root as “arse/ass.”
Welsh gwiwer is a feminine noun so it mutates to “y wiwer” (the squirrel) making it even closer to the PIE root ‘wewer’. Another Welsh word for squirrel is dringhedydd coch – “red climber”.
The word белка for squirrel could be a fur trade term. It was the greyish winter coat that was demanded for — not mainly for its colour, but for being a better fur.
So what’s the verdict on Cinderella (Askepot) and her glass slippers of squirrel fur?
The squirrel institute here was obviously a mistake, but rather than being embarassed I suspect they are laughing their pants off now in Moscow. To those familiar with the particular strand of Russian/Soviet academic humour it would have reminded them about the NiiChavo (НИИЧаВо) – Nii being the common abbreviation for Scientific and Research institute and ChaVo is for sorcery (charodeystvo) and magic (volshebstva). Read phonetically it sounds like ‘nichevo’ the Russian word for ‘nothing’. It’s from the 1964 Strugatsky cult novel ‘Monday Begins on Saturday’, a wildly funny satire on Russian academic life. Wiki article about it is here. And for those who enjoyed the recent Hatul Madan post – the Learned Cat is in the book too.
Rats, I was afraid that would happen!
My inability to put a tilde over the en is actually helpful.
Example is proverb “На миру и смерть красна” ~ “Among [old]community even dying is [old]nice” – not “…is red”
Example – “Krasno Solnyshko, that is, the Fair Sun” @
Isn’t Gwenhwyfar/guinevere “white owl”, or is that from some fictional account?
the diminutive “bjeločka”
Russian is the odd one among Slavic languages
not quite, there are regional/archaic variants: veksha, veveritsa.
Serbian: veverica/веверица. Stress on the first syllable.
our word for squirrel is kherem which is from kherekh/merekh – meaning gryzt’ – to chew, squibble, gnaw
i read about etymologies of words here in the threads and ours are always so different from all others mentioned, but must be those are common among other altaic languages, though there is no such a group i recall i read too
The root “beyle” survives in Yiddish, though barely, in the name of white meat: beylik.
Belochka, Belka is also a diminutive of the name Bella or Bela, which is seen as a Latin import.
There is, but its branches are very distant from each other. Proto-Altaic was probably spoken before Proto-Indo-European, and it’s more difficult to reconstruct because there aren’t as many and as old documented ancient languages in Altaic as in IE.
As hungry as the weasel
Mor wancus â’r wenci.
“Belka” and “belochka” in Russian slang stands for delirium tremens, as its full name in Russian is “belaya goryachka” – so to say “white fever”.
Of “vair” it says:
Now, you might think, if you knew nothing about etymology, like me, that “vair” comes from PIE “wēwer,” but the OED says it’s from OF. vair, veir, “acc. sing. masc. of “varius”, parti-coloured. Cf. med.L. varius.”
Now I’m thinking that the verk of gråverk might be a folk etymology for vair.

MADISON, WI – May 20, 2008 – What could be th- the r, Draft Standard for Trial Use—was re-announced in the May 16, 2008 edition of ANSI Standards Action ( id=7). This comprehensive standard for sustainable agriculture addresses the sustainability impacts of agricultural production and encompasses the entire agricultural product supply chain, including suppliers, seed providers,end-users. As such, key objectives of the standard development process will be to establish best practices in sustainable crop production and handling and to develop a set of metrics that encourages continued improvement mpacts of agricultural products, at all levels of the supply chain.
With such an integrated scope as this, SCS-001 hanited States. Michael Arny, president of Leonardo Academy said: "Sustainability standards have a positive impact on markets because they create an easy-to-use common language for sustainability commerce. When the hard work of developing an ANSI-approved sustainable agriculture standard is completed by the Standards Committee, the final standard will make it easy for sellers to communicate the sustainability of the products they produce and deliver and easy for buyers to specify and identify The US Green Building Council's LEED® standard for sustainable buildings has revolutionized the 'green' building industry and serves as a model of how this sustainability standard for agricultural products- when finalized—will revolutionize the market for sustainable agricultural products."
To facilitate the process of developing this standard, Leonardo Academy has also updated its ANSI standard development constitution, which is currently under review for ANSI approval. Since September 2007, Leonardo Academyis DSTU and has developed a contact list of 1400 interested and potentially affected parties. To date, 70 applications have been submitted to participate on the Standards Committee or advisory subcommittees. All interested and materially affected stakeholders—such as growers, farm organizations, food processors, food service companies, retail, NGOs, labor groups and representatives, and other interested parties—have a role to play in shaping the final standard that will be submitted to ANSI for approval and are encouraged to apply.

Faces from the past return to haunt/excite the Doctor and, on more than occasion, it’s the Doctor’s *own* face. You know, time-wimey and all that.
Over the years, many actors and actresses have returned to play much-loved roles in the show and you might be shocked to see just how long some these people left it. You think that John Simm coming back to play The Master after 7 years away was impressive? Think again.
Now, it should be noted, we’re not considering video games, fan projects or audio adventures. We’re just looking at the televisual worlds of Doctor Who.
The old Troutster, as he’s known, returned on more than once occasion to Doctor Who.
After he left the role of Dr Two in 1969, Patrick returned for ‘The Three Doctors’ at the end of 1972 and then again, over a decade later, in ‘The Five Doctors’. And just a few years later again, Troughton teamed up with Sixth Doctor Colin Baker for ‘The Two Doctors’.
Everybody’s favourite tin dog has also had numerous returns after his initial departure from the show and has a suitably barking mad timeline. But let’s play safe and go for the mechanical mutt’s final appearance in the 1993 Children In Need “story”, ‘Dimensions In Time’ and its return in 2006’s ‘School Reunion’.
It’s more straightforward for plucky journo Sarah Jane. She had already appeared in the first Doctor Who spin-off K9 & Company before her first return in the 30th anniversary special. Sladen reprised the role once more for ‘Dimensions In Time’ but it was well over a decade when she made a glorious return in the Tenth Doctor tale ‘School Reunion’, along with K9.
Now, we have a couple of provisos for the more ardent Whovians when it comes to the Doctor with the most eps. Tommy B left in March 1981 and returned for ‘Dimensions In Time’.
Some of you might be saying the Fourth Doctor appeared in 1983’s ‘The Five Doctors’. BUT, Baker didn’t actually reprise the role in this instance as the footage was from the abandoned 1979 adventure, ‘Shada’. So it doesn’t count. Also, while we’re talking about ‘Shada’, Tom did reprise his role for the 2017 DVD release, some 24 years after – but this wasn’t telly, so we’re not counting that either.
Lalla left Who to join one of the show’s greatest monsters (Tom Baker’s words, not ours). Ward played the second incarnation of Time Lady (or is it Time Dame?), Romanadvoratrelundar, and departed at the beginning of 1981 in the brilliant but mind-melting ‘Warriors’ Gate’.
She returned almost thirteen years later for the less-than-brilliant but equally mind-melting ‘Dimensions In Time’.
Liz was the first companion of the colour era and of Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor. The UNIT scientist only hung around for one season (but WHAT a season!) and gave a brief turn in the 20th anniversary epic, ‘The Five Doctors’.
Like so many other Who stars, Davison made the mistake of returning to the role for ‘Dimensions In Time’. Coincidentally, his next appearance as Dr 5ive would also be as part of Children In Need, for the 2007 special ‘Time Crash’.
Co-starring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and written by Steven Moffat, Peter’s return was both glorious and hilarious. It was like he’d never been away.
Troughton’s wonderful double act left in the final year of the ’60s, missed out the ’70s and came back for ‘The Five Doctors’ in 1983.
Like Liz Shaw above, their appearances were phantoms caused by Rassilon (you can get a pill for that now).
Clocking up over 20 appearances in the show’s classic run, the Brig is a bonafide Who legend.
He returned, as many did, for ‘Dimensions In Time’ and then again almost exactly 15 years later for The Sarah Jane Adventures story, ‘Enemy of the Bane’ in 2008 (a replacement for companion Martha Jones when actress Freema Agyeman couldn’t make it).
Leather-clad warrior Leela’s departure was a fudged affair – leaving the Fourth Doctor in ‘The Invasion of Time’ (1978) to hook up with a guy she barely knew on Gallifrey. Not a fitting end for such a bold character.
Jameson, wearing more clothes, was seen once again in ‘Dimensions In Time’.
1985 was all about the past when it came to Doctor Who. More specifically, continuity. And to appease fans in the Sixth Doctor era, producer John Nathan-Turner not only brought back the Cybermen (in a canon-heavy story), he needlessly brought back the man who originally played the role of Cyber Controller in the Second Doctor classic, ‘The Tomb of the Cybermen’.
In between, Kilgraff made more “appearances” in Who – as an Ogron in the Jon Pertwee era and as the giant robot in Tom Baker’s very first story.
For one night only, McGann shone as the Time Lord in the 1996 TV Movie, almost seven years after the show’s cancellation (well, not cancelled as such, they just stopped making it).
Sadly, this didn’t lead to more outings for McGann’s gorgeous Doctor with cancellation hitting again. It would take the 50th anniversary for the Eighth Doctor to come back. And he did so in the Steven Moffat-penned mini-ep, ‘The Night of the Doctor’.
Who‘s first companion, and a Time Lady to boot. The Doctor’s granddaughter left, or was abandoned rather, on Earth at the denouement of 1964’s ‘The Dalek Invasion of Earth’. She was reunited with her grandfather nearly 20 years later in ‘The Five Doctors’.
Sadly, Ford hasn’t appeared in the show post-2005 but did make a cameo in Mark Gatiss’ An Adventure in Space and Time and a picture of Susan could be seen on the Doctor’s university desktop in Peter Capaldi’s final series as the Twelfth Doctor.
Sometimes affectionately known as “leather lungs” (a term Watling used herself), Victoria screamed her way out of the show in 1968’s ‘Fury From The Deep’.
One of the show’s most popular classic companions, it was an emotional farewell for Jo Grant as she went to off to get married and explore the Amazon with her new husband Cliff Jones. It clearly had an impact on Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor, who wouldn’t hang around to see them off.
Manning sat out all the multi-Doctor and companion specials mentioned above but did make a special exception for a team-up with the companion who succeeded her, Sarah Jane Smith. Now Jo Jones, she met up with Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor in The Sarah Jane Adventures outing ‘Death of the Doctor’ in 2010.
Four decades – yes FOUR DECADES! – after her second appearance as a Galactic Federation delegate in ‘The Monster of Peladon’ (sequel to 1972’s ‘The Curse of Peladon’), Churchman reprised the role of Alpha Centauri in the Twelfth Doctor ep, ‘Empress Of Mars’. |

en | N/A | N/A | Dad: Don't Mess It Up!
"You get one chance. You don't want to mess it up." Thosholding my first daughter when she was born. I don't know of any fathers who would deliberately want to mess up their children emotionally, spiritually or psychologically, but many dads do mess them up. Why?Because dads have believed the wrong things about what it means to be a dad. With so many conflicting messages being thrown at dads today, how can he lead his son or daughter correctly?
◾Favoritism. Parents fail at this all the time, but you have to be determined as a parent to be as fair as possible to each of your children, or else bitterness will creep in. This doesn't mean you treat them exactly the same but it does mean that you show equal amounts of love. This is equally important for grandparents. If you are a grandparent, how much time do you spend with your grandkids?Do you have some of them over more than others?In any family with more than one grandchild, it can be obvious to the kids that certain grandkids are given certain preferences more than others. Well-meaning grandparents quickly find out just how hard it is to juggle several grandchildren and make all of them feel like they love them all equally. But it is necessary if you want the children to not get embittered toward each other. I know of a family where the grandma will have over one set of grandchildren to spend the night all the time, but she never offers to have the other ones over from her other children. One day, one of the grandchildren who often gets left out asked his mom, "Why does grandma love so and so more than she loves me?
◾Discouragement. Telling your children things like, "You'll never amount to anything," or "Can't you do anything right?
Fathers should raise children with TENDERNESS. The word translated "bring them up" means "to nourish, to provide for with tender care." Masculine men are tender men. This does not mean they cease being strong with their children, but it means that they have a balance. Children can quickly become embittered toward fathers when tenderness is missing. What is tenderness?
Do you take the lead in matters of discipline in the home, or do you leave it to your wife?
Who is in control at your house?You or the kids?How would your kids answer that?
Fathers should raise children IN CHRIST. Discipline and instruction that are not "of the Lord" can quickly turn into verbal or physical abuse. When a father disciplines and instructs his child "in the Lord" he is under the control of the Holy Spirit. This allows a father to raise their children in fairness, tenderness, and firmness. Without Jesus Christ leading us as parents, we will lose control and will fail miserably in these areas of being a parent. Dads, remember that your greatest asset in leadership is to do it "in Christ." Christ will be the One who gives you all you need to be the leader of your home. If you lead with Christ as your ultimate leader, you will never have to worry about "messing it up." |

aes(group = -1),
data = ~ subset(., RML_ever_state == 1),
) + scale_x_discrete( limits=c))
A: A nice solution for this can be realized by understanding how ggplot2 creates legends. We will utilize that to our advantage to force a legend out of stat_summary(). Here, we're going to effectively "hijack" another aesthetic, and then squish the legends together to make it look like it's all one legend.
Legend creation inside aes()
First, ggplot2 will create a legend for anything that needs to be discriminated when inside aes(). So, if you have an aesthetic like color, fill, or size inside aes(), you're going to start the process of having ggplot2 make a legend. This process is overwritten when you also define the aesthetic outside aes().
So this code generates a legend:
ggplot(df, aes(x,y)) + geom_point(aes(size=my_category))
So, this means that if you wanted to define the size in the first example above, you would have to take whatever ggplot2 does be default or specify the actual size by adding a scale_size_manual() command:
You can also control the names of the items in your legend by what you send to aes(). Take the above example. If I put aes(size=my_category), this assumes that there is a column in df called my_category with values. If that column is a factor, the levels of the factor will be used as the legend item names and the particular "size" values in the final plot. If the column is a character vector, the legend will be created by kind of "forcing" the column into a factor and then items will be listed alphanumerically. If df$my_category is a number vector, you will get a continuous scale of size. The game changes a bit when you supply a character/string. Let's assume df$my_category is a character vector. When I send it this:
ggplot(df, aes(x,y)) + geom_point(aes(size="my_category")...)
A Solution to Your Question
Now, I'm going to use this information to create your plot. To separate out that stat_summary() into a legend item, I need to pick an aesthetic. You could just specify that color= is inside aes() for stat_summary and use a character to label it correctly. That will work; however, if you do that all the legend keys (called "glyphs") will look the same as the line in stat_summary. That's fine if all the lines look the same, but your summary line is "fatter", so you want it to be different than the rest.
Here, I'll just create a legend using size, which will be a different legend from the color one used by geom_line(), and they can have their different formats without any issue.
Since I'm pulling size into aes() for stat_summary, I need to remove size outside of aes() in stat_summary and put that value inside a separate scale_size_manual() command. Second, I use guides() to control the order of the legends and some title stuff. Finally, I use theme elements to control the spacing between the two legends to push them a bit closer. The final result:
geom = "line", colour = "green"

en | N/A | N/A | From one perspective, a human being can be seen to be comprised of a soul and a body. Although the nature and the function of each of these faculties are mainly different, they do seem to affect each other. In particular, it seems that the way we manage and maintain our bodily needs has some direct or indirect effects on our soul. There is a well known recommendation from many pious religious figures that we should avoid eating excessively. The general advice is that in principle, we should only eat when we feel hungry and that, we should aim to not make ourselves completely full.
A full stomach hardly allows a mood required to generate a spiritual experience through worship and meditation. An excessively full stomach makes the person lazy and not keen to take benefit of any constructive opportunities. To give a more tangible example, it will certainly be more difficult to wake up for Tahajjud (night prayer) or morning prayer if we go to sleep in a state where we can hardly breath, due to the amount of food we have consumed.
This is not an advice to adopt the practices of those who go to extremes in controlling their desires. This is simply to say that if we make our stomach a graveyard for animals, we cannot then expect our soul to be able to easily soar close to the pinnacles of spirituality. |

en | N/A | N/A | In the release, the Bar Association said it "holds its members to the highest standards of ethics and conduct and implores them that of our most noble and esteemed profession".
Two daysa with a foul mouthed Attorney berating a Traffic Cop in an expletive laced tirade, the Guyana Bar Association has said that it prefers to "refrain at this time" from offering a comment on the Attorney's behaviour since the issue is under probe.
From all appearances the video appeared to have been recorded by the Traffic Cop who stopped Attorney Ryan Crawford along the East Coast corridor. Senior Police ranks have told News Source that there is no regulation in place that prevents a Policeman from recording such stops.
But the Bar Association also said that would like to inform the general public that "a mod".
In the video, where the Attorney provided his name as Ryan F@#$ing Crawford, he berated the officer for stopping him, declaring that he must give him a reason for stopping him. When the Officer responded that he observed the vehicle and observed that he could not have observed the driver properly, the Attorney responded with a profanity laced objection to being stopped, claiming that he was behind two trucks.
"I was behind two trucks, so what you telling me man, what s@#%t you telling me man? What F$%#ing nonsense you telling me? What F%$#ing nonsense? Hello, My name is Ryan F@#$ing Crawford, you tell them, whoever you taking to, Attorney-at-F#@%ing-Law, you hear me? So F#$k you", the Attorney declared.
The video recording went on for another three minutes of the Attorney cursing out the Traffic Officer even as another man in his car pleaded with him to "leh we go lang nah man".
The Attorney maintained that he was "stopped illegally on the f#$%ing road". He refused to show the Traffic officer his driver's license when asked to do so.
The Guyana Police Force has indicated that it has since completed an investigation of the incident and the file has been sent to the Police Force's legal adviser for further advice.
The incident has triggered a lively debate on social media about random stops by Police Officers and the respect that ought to be given to Police Officers.
Many have said that while they believe the Attorney had a right to question why he was stopped, his profanity laced response to an officer in uniform was uncalled for and disrespectful of the lawman.
Others have indicated that they believe the Attorney's response may be as a result of his frustration with the "system" that allows Police Officers to randomly stop drivers. |

en | N/A | N/A | Nearly half Australian businesses considering wind, solar and storage, and one-third of them will make it major source of power. Could business take over from governments to lead push into renewables?
Renewable energy production from Australian businessesnearly half are making the switch to wind and/or solar to take control over their electricity bills and to help reduce emissions.
A new survey from the Climate Council says the massive shift to wind and solar is happening because electricity bills are soaring and wind and solar and storage offer an affordable and reliable solution.
In Australia, 46 per cent of businesses are looking to turn to wind and solar, many are looking for those technologies to provide the bulk of their power needs, and they are also looking at storage and electric vehicles.
“Thde,” says the Climate Council’s Greg Bourne,.
The role of corporations is expected to be one of the key factors in the future ofts over the coming decadelift its emissions reduction targets for 2030.
Right now, the government is seeking to lock in a 26 per cent cut in electricity emissions from 2005 levels by 2030, through its National Energy Guarantee.
But most independent analysis say this target will be largely met by the renewable energy target by 2020 – meaning little incentive for further construction in the following 10 years.
That leaves only state-based targets such as Victoria, Queensland, and the Northern Territory, and the underlying push from households and businesses turning to renewables and storage to address their electricity bills.
A total of 46,000 Australian businesses have already installed solar energy, and this has mostly been in relatively small-scale rooftop arrays, although the pace of this uptake has accelerated dramatically in the last 12-18 months, as this graph below illustrates.
According to the Clean Energy Regulator, the amount of rooftop solar installed by businesses (arrays of up to 1MW) will increase five fold in 2018 to around 100MW.
The other more recent phenomenon is the decision by very large businesses and energy users to turn to large-scale wind and solar project to lower their bills in response to the doubling of electricity prices and soaring gas bills.
Some companies, such as Nectar Farms, have chosen to electrify their businesses so they can use cheaper wind energy and battery storage, rather than expensive gas.
Nectar Farms will build the country’s largest vegetable greenhouse, powered by wind and solar, on an old gold mine in Stawell in Victoria, as part of a $550 million project with Neoen and Tesla.
In South Australia, Sundrop Farms turned to solar towers and solar thermal to provide power, heat and desalinated water for their tomato growing operations (pictured top).
In Queensland, Sun Metals will soon become Australia’s first major refiner to go solar with the imminent opening of its 124MW solar farm, which will help underpin a $300 million expansion of the refinery by locking in low electricity costs.
Other major corporations that have signed contracts for large-scale solar or wind farms include Telstra, CUB, Westpac, Foster’s, ANZ, and CC Amatil. There are many others in the pipeline.
The Climate Council quoted a recent Baker & McKenzie survey of business intentions which shows that 40 per cent of its respondents are looking at renewables, and 40 per cent are also considering some form of storage.
Other key factors include changing business models to align with renewables and storage, and also preparing for the widely anticipated uptake of electric vehicles, and infrastructure such as charging networks.
One-third of businesses said they were considering using renewables as their main source of energy in the next 18 months – that’s a big development from businesses putting on small amounts of rooftop solar to support their “green messaging”.
A total of 138 global corporations have made a commitment to go ‘100% renewable’, including food producers, car manufacturers, data centre operators, breweries, real estate companies, banks and fashion brands .
These 100 per cent renewable companies include Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Wells Fargo, Johnson & Johnson and Amazon. They also include Anheuser-Busch, the owner of Australia’s Carlton & United Breweries, which is also going 100 per cent renewable.
In the US, or sustainability targets.
“This is a world-wide transition, with businesses around the globy,” Bourne says.
“$2,000 a day,” said Stock.
I read that and realized it was for the next 10 years after 2020, while the target will be filled inside 2 years.
Sums up why business is using solar and wind with storage because it is cheaper.
These large systems come in with low LCOE figures.
And the more the better. Then when Labor gets in, they can re-introduce a carbon tax, and make it stick. And when that happens, the big emitters will have to seriously think about shutting down all those coal fired power stations.
As you know and so do I the LCOE of Renewable Energy is so low that it is a total no question as to what to build.
No new FF plant can compete with the outcome using RE.
Frankly I do not think we need a Carbon Price the simple fact is RE is the cheapest source of energy.
Yes i know there are about 20 odd FF plants all of which will slowly close and all of which will be replaced with RE and the RE will be put at points adjacent to major substations so that the energy loss is not too large to make them uneconomic.
Possibly yes especially when you look across the whole spectrum of using FF for instance and this is an ancillary outcome the emissions of Diesel Powered Vehicles with the detrimental small particulate and NCX which are detrimental to the health of people.
So on balance considering all aspects of carbon emissions and the ancillary emissions from the use of FF yes a simple carbon tax should be put in place.
As to the emissions from vehicles what is happening is that Diesel vehicles will be banned in major urban areas.
Not a tax just a sensible outcome from the dismal emissions from these vehicles.
However as I very much doubt that they have suddenly magically made some advance.
It will still put out high levels of PM2.5 to PM10 as well I expect NOX particulate matter.
No doubt it will meet the test requirement in place and pass and will continue to emit the detrimental aspects of its emissions.
What this tells me is put in place a sensible test system so it picks up the emissions from a vehicle not some joke test.
Meanwhile The MOANash Forum, The COALition, . Rupert and his newsrags, they all dream of a Coal-fired Future.
Yes well one may say deluded.
One may say dismal.
One must say this mob of people will be put in the dust bin of best forgotten transitional on the way to a future for the country.
These will not be the ones to point the future direction; companies have got it; and this will slowly filer through to these poor deluded few.
Can’t imagine the convoluted logic required to foist that one on us though.
Maybe coal is necessary for life on account of us being a carbon-based life-form!
Well just remember lots of people do not want Solar Farms or Wind Farms because hmm no idea honestly but there are objections.
I know the wind farms will give me a head ache.
or it is infra noise .
Fact is more low and high noise from traffic, rail, wind, and ocean waves than any wind farm turbine.
Believe me I have figures that show the low and high figures for Decibel Noise from the 1970’s which show inaudible both low and high which in the high area which were over 110 DB if only we could hear it.
Funny you and I both drove these cars and did not suffer some kind of head ache or any other health problem.
When did logic (or science) ever form one of their arguments?
I recall the way products emerged from 1996 as the energy market evolved. It was a big surprise to most of the people in the centre of the market. So many things we used to provide for nothing were now being sold.
Im not saying it was an emerging scam or gold mine. It was the industry adopting market forces to balance supply and demand.
Prior to the market, the energy production was so very inefficient in all aspects and there was no incentive to be efficient.
The products that emerged were a shock to us. Are we being paid just because we can come on line in 5 min? And so the questions emerged to the extent where we sold stuff we never knew we had and it took a while for it to make sense.
I suggest here now that there are more products emerging on the load side. Most customers dont realise they are there. They are yet to be utilised by the market rules. The 5 minute closure rule changes will unlock many. Most people investing in substantial renewable assets at home and business are unaware.
For example, in a business, with a large number of employees, they could use the load shifting potential between work and home hours.
They could make minor adjustments to work schedules in coordination with neighbouring business to utilise load shifting opportunities. These adjustments being totally non disruptive and real market value.
Bottom line to all this is that customers disconnection from the grid is a choice to reduce potential investment returns. |

figstill too harsh, what with the clear glass?
HEY. HI. HELLO THERE! HOW ARE YOU? i know, no one wants to hear the story of the amateur blogger who got too busy with her day job and dropped off the face of the earth. but it’s true truth, really. i life got away from me, and i spent a few months living life out in the world instead of on the internet.
starting is hard, but in the spirit of moving forward, i’m going to do just that: start. below, you’ll find a few snapshots of the grand apartment in its current iteration. it’s not 100% there yet (is it ever?), but it’s close. and it has finally, miraculously, started to feel like home.
the goal is for the bedroom to feel like one giant cloud, like i’m floating on air, wrapped in the warm cozy hug of this bon iver song i can’t stop listening to.
that means white walls (i’m going with benjamin moore’s “white”), white trim (benjamin moore’s “super white”), white bedding (i have these sheets and this duvet from pottery barn and i love them), and white curtains (i got these from ikea).
white sheepskins from ikea will add an extra layer of coziness, and a white ceiling fan will (hopefully) disappear into the ceiling, but keep me cool at night.
which turned into a new dilemma: what kind of bed did i want?! did i want a tufted, ladylike headboard like the one above (from alaina kaczmarski’s bedroom), or an antique-esque victorian wrought iron bed like the one below? |

en | N/A | N/A | I thought I would introduce color theory by incorporating a fun pop art lesson. There are a few pop artists that were used as inspiration for this piece. It was Dr. Seuss week so I thought I would use Dr. Seuss drawings for the subject matter. So, if your kids came home telling you that we learned to draw the Lorax or Truffula Trees that's why!
Our goal is learning the color wheel. We will know what primary and secondary colors are, how to mix colors, and for some of my classes I will talk about complimentary colors. This lesson will lead up to contrast and emphasis which we will learn next week after we complete our projects.
I thought this would be a fun way to introduce color theory to the class. As you can see from the "Color Wheel Eggs and Ham" we will learn primary secondary and complimentary colors. The primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) are stagard between the secondary colors (orange, green, purple). How we accomplished this project was really quite simple, but requires a little bit of patience and delicate handling. Our pop art picture above incorporates the works of a few important pop artists. The first is Andy Warhol, who was one of the first artist to masterfully reproduce the same image over and over using a technique called silk-screening. An example of this would be Andy's "Marilyn" screenprint. Marilyn is acrylic on canvas. The paint was applied by using different colored inks through photo-stencils. Just shortly after the actresses death, Andy felt inspired and used a publicity photograph that was taken after her role in the the film Niagra in 1953.
You can look closely at the "Eggs and Ham" image here to see the print. The background was inspired by the pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's Benday dots. He used these dots on background of a lot of his works and created them using the screen-printing process. OUR Benday dots were created using.......bubble wrap! The kids loved this! I personally think it's really fun to paint the wrap and press it down on the watercolor grids that we made.
What we learned was that it was really hard to press the stencil that we made onto the grid directly. Using plain white paper to press our stencils on was much easier to see! We learned that when loading the paint on the stencil that a thin coat is the best application process. Also we used even pressure using a roller or squeegee or if very careful we can smooth the surface of our stencil using even pressure with our hands. We then carefully peeled the stamp away. If we put paint on too thick it gets into the grooves of our stencil sketch and the print come out like an ink blot:) YIKES! |

en | N/A | N/A | Nestled in the northwest corner of Massachusetts’ magnificent Cape Cod, the Town of Sandwich is a seaside community with a strong past and a vibrant future. As the oldest town in the region, Sandwich was incorporated in 1637, and since that time has preserved its heritage while welcoming progress and possibility. With 20,000 full-time residents, Sandwich grows by only 50% during the summer months, a sharp contrast with many of the surrounding communities whose populations swell dramatically during the tourist season.
On the housing side, Vitacco reports Sandwich is made up of primarily single-family homes. “That’s about 92% of our housing stock. Like everywhere, we are looking to increase that stock to increase as we like to say, not affordable housing, but houses people can afford.” The conversion of a decommissioned school into 128 affordable seniors housing units by development company SCG is one new option in the works. This is a necessary addition to the community, as Vitacco admits, “One of the things we’ve learned is that sometimes it’s hard for older people to stay in the house, they are by themselves, with taxes and everything that goes along with homeownership. So, we have this housing development going in.” Ensuringwhich would benefit the town, Sandwich has also contributed “community preservation funds” to offset the price of development and keep these units affordable.
Vitacco recounts, “We were very fortunate that through our marketing process Mike Lemieux and Jenn Macdonald came across it. They are fully aware of how to maintain a historic home and they have be. We’ve done studies in the past, and it would have cost the town about $700,000. As a municipality, we have to make choices about where we want that $700,000 to go. It could go to education, or to first responders. So, it was a good choice to go out into the marketplace to see if we could find someone who will respect the building and care for it.” With the sale including a promise to open the home to the public twice a year, there is also an intention to use it as a vacation rental, a draw for those seeking a truly historical experience.
The Town of Sandwich also owns two of the buildings in the district, including the town hall, an 1830’s structure that underwent rehabilitation in 2010, and an old school house, previously used by the children of glass factory workers. “It is called Sand Hill School and the town renovated it about six years ago. We have a lot of our regulatory meetings, and our board meetings are in there now. It is pretty neat because the Historical Society hung up photos from when the school was active,” he says.
Another restoration project underway in the community is the rebuilding of a boardwalk, which was once a mode of transport for goods between the beach and the glass factory, and is now a meaningful part of Sandwich’s landscape, taking people over marshlands onto the beach. “The boardwalk has been battered about and unfortunately, in recent years, it’s taken some serious hits,” says Vitacco. Mentioning that it was the early 90’s the last time this boardwalk was rebuilt, he shares how the community had a fundraiser at that time, offering a chance to buy a board and have a name engraved on it.
“As we dismantle the current boardwalk, we were looking to return those boards to the owners if they were still around to accept them,” he conveys, adding, “Unfortunately, back in January, Mother Nature beat us to the punch and lifted up about a third of them and dumped them into Cape Cod Bay, and they came back into the Marsh.” Through a community effort, these boards were recovered and the hope is that they will still be returned to their original owners. To continue with this tradition, the new boardwalk will offer another opportunity to purchase a plank and have it engraved.
Looking to the future, Vitacco hopes to see more affordable housing options in Sandwich, suggesting, “I think that the biggest driver for economic development is having a place for people to live.” A project through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which will see improvements to the two bridges that bring people onto Cape Cod is something he believes will benefit the town, providing easier transportation and making Sandwich a viable option for businesses outside of the region. |

By Chris Wevers - 5th March 2012 Share on Facebook
In place of the V8 that powers the Mercedes C63 AMG, a twelve-cylinder engine is derived directly from the Brabus E V12. For this purpose an up-to-date Mercedes S 600 engine is completely re-engineered. The displacement of this engine i, larger, forged pistons and an increase in cylinder bore across the board. Intakeorts camshafts200km/h (124 mph) is reached in 9.8 seconds and the 300km/h (186 mph) barrier is hit in 23.8 seconds. The top speed is more than 370 km/h (230 mph). For stopping power the Bullit Coupe relies on a dual circuit brake system with Brake Assist and a high-performance brake system. This includes 12-piston fixed aluminum calipers with vented and grooved steel discs measuring 380 x 37mm (15.0 x 1.45 in.) at the front, and six60 x 28mm (14.2 x 1.1 in.) at the rear. To be able to attain such extreme speeds while maintaining stability, the aerodynamic properties of the two-door car were modified in the wind tunnel. The supplemental carbon-fiber carbon-fiber lightweight air routers for the air inlets in the front fascia go beyond optimizing the supply of cooling air for radiators and front brakele. Another significant contribution to the heat exchange in the engine bay is made by the air vents integrated into the front fenders behind the wheel wells.
The designers and engineers at the Brabus headquarters in Bottrop have developed an aerodynamically effective combination of rear wing and diffuser insert for the rear fascia in order to generate more downforce on the rear axle. This carbon-fiber component has cutouts on the right and left side for the dual ceramics-plated design tailpipes of theThe exterior is further enhanced by the new Brabus Monoblock R wheels ‒ sizes 8.5Jx20 in front and 9.5Jx20 on the rear axle ‒ featuring two times five double spokes arranged on two different plains. While the posterior plain has a titanium paint finish, the anterior surfaces are polished and coated with a smoke-colored clear lacquer. These rims are wrapped in high-performance tires in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 and 275/25 ZR 20 are supplied by Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama. The height-adjustable coilover suspension was custom developed for the Brabus Bullit Coupe 800 in cooperation with Bilstein. It features gas-pressure shocks on front and rear axle withd for a sporty yet comfortable ride. Sport sway bars reduce body roll during fast cornering to a minimum.
The cockpit of the supercar has a distinctly sporty design. The interior was fitted with a combination of black leather and Alcantara to match the outer skinghts Further sporty features are the ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel as well as aluminum pedals and shifter. The Brabus Bullit Coupe 800 will sell for an starting at € 378,000, excluding taxes. In Germany this supercar will cost € 449,820. It goes without saying that this car can also be built based on the Black Series C 63 AMG Coupe.

en | N/A | N/A | have grown up to a different gospel tune, but that’s the one I got. TO BE CLEAR: I am not for a second downplaying the significance of God’s grace-purchased eternity for us. But when the gospel isn’t preached with power to conquer hell on earth and not just in heaven (what Jesus actually lived and taught), we are NOT getting the full story. As well-meaning as they may be, many churches today are teaching spin-off’s of the gospel that leave us lacking and missing the entire point of salvation for our lives NOW.
The Gospel You Might Not Have Heard
Growing up in and out of churches, I learned that I was a sinner in need of saving but never once did anyone tell me that the whole reason Jesus died for me was to get sin OFF of me and make me COMPLETELY NEW in my very nature; that in Christ I have a brand new identity and when I say yes to Jesus I’m no longer a sinner – I’m in fact by His grace something entirely new: a saint, a king, a son (daughter) with a propensity toward righteousness not sinfulness, with full heir rights to the entire kingdom of God and all the resources of heaven. – Because GOD IS MY DAD. I never heard that because of what Jesus did for me, I’m no longer destined to fail but by His power and grace am instead now positioned for victory in all things pertaining to my life.
I heard absolutely NOTHING about this incredibly good, extravagantly loving, radically accepting Father who not only gives me complete and assured victory over sin, sickness and bondage, but completely and totally approves of and delights in me unconditionally – apart from anything I do. All this, by the way, you can find in your Bible: (Rom. 6:14 & 8:15-16, 2 Cor. 2:14 & 5:17). And I especially didn’t hear that this message of freedom and victorious new life in Jesus applied to the darkness that plagued me, my marriage, my family, my life… Until God Himself intervened – in spite of the wrong things I believed about Him because of churches I’d been in – and stood everything right-side-up, including my understanding of the gospel.
God is so good! And He wants us FREE! He wants us living EMPOWERED! God’s heart for this generation is that we would come ALIVE in the fullness of what this amazing gospel actually means for our lives TODAY.
I hear God saying that this is the hour in which He wants to take His church from victim to victor, from slave to free, from blinded or blurry to seeing perfectly clear through His eyes. All through relationship. All through knowing Him.
He wants to replace any passivity or skewed perspectives we’ve been walking in as a body with a lifestyle of INTIMACY & VICTORY – victorious advancement of His kingdom on the earth through deep intimacy with Him and a crystal-clear understanding of what this gospel is actually all about.
The Lord wants to make us into weapons for His kingdom purposes on the earth and we each have a unique, God-ordained role to play in this exciting fight – should we say “YES.”
The Coming Shift
I believe there is a paradigm shift coming for the body of Christ, should we embrace it. Those who do will advance in His purposes on the earth, experiencing both the personal freedom and impact on the world around us that God intends for us to have as we give our “yes” to all that He wants to do in and through us in this hour. Those who opt out will be given the freedom to do so, as God has always been and will forever remain a gentleman, always giving us the dignity of free choice. No matter where we picked it up, if we desire to remain stuck in wrong-believing and consequently ineffective for the gospel, He will allow us to do so. We cannot inherit the kingdom and keep agendas of needing to be right or justify theology we’ve built on our life experience apart of the word of God. Jesus is perfect theology. If you can’t find it in the life of Jesus, it shouldn’t be in your doctrine! If you learned it in church but can’t find it in the life of Jesus, toss it out! It doesn’t matter what you call yourself, the lingo you use, how you come off when you speak to people, or what the name of your church or your ministry is. All that matters is how you’re seen by heaven. And now that Christ has come and the Holy Spirit is being poured out, God is not endorsing powerless living. If we desire Him more than anything, we’ll lay every other thing down and the Truth will find us.
The truth is, if you’ve said YES to Jesus:
- You’re no longer a sinner. You’re a saint.
- You’re no longer destined to fail or fall short. You’re positioned to WIN.
- You’re no longer subject to the enemy or his works of darkness. You’ve been given authority over him.
- You’re not called to walk powerless. You’re called to wait on the Holy Spirit until He endues you with power.
- You’re not following a set of guidelines for living that make you a Christian. You’re following a Person who’s name is Christ and He will only ever lead you in a life that looks like the one He lived on earth.
When Jesus walked this planet He modeled for us through His life two things that make up the inheritance of every true believer and follower of Jesus: PURITY and POWER. Jesus modeled and therefore calls us into a life of both absolute purity and absolute power over the powers of darkness on the earth. This reality is the root of the shift taking place in the body of Christ today.
God is moving us from powerless to empowered, victimized to victorious, from oppressed by the darkness to over-the-top impressed with who He is – both on our behalf and through us to reach the world around.
For the ones of us who respond, this shift may require a lens change – a new perspective, and laying down the comforts of what we may have wrongly understood to be true for so long, especially our right to understand with our minds what God has designed for us to first embrace from the heart. God’s already on the move and there are many already partnering with His right-now purposes to advance His kingdom on the earth in power: reaching the lost, healing the sick, restoring the broken, even raising the dead if you’ll have it. It’s all the same to Him – God’s light and love conquering darkness THROUGH US as we seek His face above all and surrender to the person of Holy Spirit: the One sent to minister the reality of God’s kingdom to us and empower us in our God-given commission on the earth. Yes, every-day people just like you and me, partnering with heaven to bring the Bible to life and advance God’s kingdom as we follow the King, walking in the new identity He has freely given us: sons and daughters filled with God’s nature and ignited by His love-filled power. Giving beauty for ashes, rebuilding the ruins, and doing “the greater works” Jesus talked about when He walked the same earth we’re living on today.
Freedom is our inheritance. Power should be a lifestyle. His love will change everything if you let it.
This my friends, is the true gospel: COMPLETE and TOTAL freedom from all sin and bondage so that we can live in unhindered fellowship with the God of perfect love, partnering with Him to bring that love to others as we step into our God-given authority in Christ over the enemy. Simple. Yet incredibly amazing.
And wouldn’t you know that the Father actually believes in you and me enough to put this calling on each of our lives?! That should move us, stir our hearts, cause us to press into Him until we see what He has deemed possible for our life become the reality we’re walking in…
Embracing Fullness
So LET’s GO for it! Let’s press into heaven for ALL that He has in store for us. Destiny is on the line and eternity is hanging in the balance.
And if you’re where I found myself not too long ago and recognize that you have adopted a perspective of the gospel that isn’t consistent with COMPLETE FREEDOM from all sin and bondage that you might walk EMPOWERED by God’s love to reach the world around, I encourage you to do what He led me to and take some time with Lord to acknowledge before Him a shift in your thinking and believing. Invite Him to show you what it means to fully embrace this amazing gospel that takes us from bondage to freedom, from powerlessness to impact, from brokenness to wholeness and |
en | N/A | N/A | Now that I've heard all of the songs on 1989 multiple times, my favorites from last week mostly remain, the top 2 especially-- I love "I Wish You Would" and "Wildest Dreams," of course. Though I need to add "Clean" and "Wonderland" to
I also found I hadn't bought any of her songs from the show, so quickly remedied that too by buying my two favorites. (I don't know what happened with me--I guess when she was eliminated, I just pouted?)
And speaking of Emily West, she's finally announced that her album is coming in March! I was really surprised that it's so soon--that's a ton of work in a short amount of time, but of course I'm glad. And I'm also happy for her that she's gotten a record deal, as she also announced, and I hope it helps her make the album of her dreams. And I have got a signed copy headed my way. :D Yeah, I'm always gonna throw that out there. :)
Any favorites on The Voice yet?

en | N/A | N/A | TOT: To start with we shall start with Indonesia-Norway ties. Not long ago, your predecessor, Ambassador Retno Marsudi said that, "Indonesia and Norway have had a very intensive relationship in the last couple of years. What makes this relationship to appear so busy and fruitful, and what should we anticipate in the future?" We would like you to dilate on this in detail so as to enlighten our readers worldwide?
Whereas in the areas of economic cooperation, the ongoing negotiations onre running smoothly where up to now five rounds of negotiations have taken place. The bilateral relations focus also on increasing trade and investment and energy security. With rapid changes in global situation, these issues would be fundamental for future cooperation. TOT: What are the key strategic areas where Indonesia and Norway can function together as successful partners and cooperate together for the development and improvement of existing bilateral ties with each other?While answering this question we would like you to speak also on the areas that can provide a boost to Indonesia's economic prospect vis a vis Norway?
We would like to have your concise and precise response and views on this statement by your minister?
TOT: It is also a known fact that both Norway and Indonesia are energy sufficient and oil producing nations, even though the former after being an observer and the latter having left the OPEC in 2008, on the grounds of becoming a net importer. Delve on this and tell us as to how you will assess the possibilities of also tell us about what has been done and achieved so far?
Besides renewable energy, there is also a cooperation on oil and gas sector. For your information, Statoil has operated in Indonesia since 2007 and currently has been appointed as operator in Karama and Kuma block in Makassar Strait and six other locations in eastern part of Indonesia. TOT: The President of your country, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said on the 22nd of this month that Indonesia will never leave ASEAN despite its growing role in the Group of 20 rich and developing nations (G20). Being an important member of, could you explain the position of Indonesia in promoting the significance of your country and also highlight the cause and vision of its being in the two groupings?
We are proud of our active role in the G20. It really signifies the recognition of our growing economy and our potentials to grow even further and faster. But then again, being in the ASEAN is also one of the reasons we got so far. I think Indonesia's admission to the G20 will not only strengthen Indonesia's role and position in the world, but will be beneficial for ASEAN as well, as we can say that being the only ASEAN country in G20, Indonesia represents the region in the forum.TOT: Now, Honourable Ambassador, highlight and explain to us the significance of beell us this too – for the benefit of our readers worldwide -- about your country's take on in Myanmar/Burma by the Rakhine Buddhists against the Rohingya Muslim community?Being the world's largest Muslim nation in terms of population what do you think about the genocide being carried out under the very nose of the Burmese military junta as well as in front of Nobel Peace Winner Aung San Suu Kyi?
Give us your answer in a nutshell?
TOT: Now coming to the human rights situation in the West Papua it is important to mention the latest Amnesty International report on Indonesia which says that there is a critical situation in West Papua-- a humanitarian crisis – which needs to be addressed and resolved at the earliest possible. We shall be delighted to have your thoughts on this situation in West Papua and the problems which are threatening to build up more and more with each passing day?
TOT: Reverend Ambassador, Indonesia, as is known to the world is a country which, despite b, is resilient and tolerant to the people belonging to all faiths, cultures and historical genesis. It is indeed highly appreciable. We would like you to tell us on the struggle going on against extremism in the world and highlight Indonesia's stand and efforts directed against fundamentalism of all kinds, extremism and fanaticism as well as militancy. Our question assumes more relevance as it is clearly visible that since some time in the past extremism and militancy are threatening the stability of your own country?
TOT: In a lighter vein Reverend Ambassador, you too must be quite informed and aware like most of our readers are about present US President Barack Hussain Obama's growing up in Indonesia especially as an adolescent and a youth. Thus Obama has a bond with your motherland. Anything remarkable that you can share with us in this regard? |

Kay Faltys works on a firetruck at Smeal Fire Apparatus.
Ben Franta, in red, welds side rails as he works on a 100-foot platform ladder with David Wegner.
A fire truck bound for North Pole, Alaska, has a 100-foot platform ladder.
SNYDER, Neb. — When Brian Butrick leaves this Dodge County town of about 300 people on Aug. 20, he won’t be driving the same vehicle back home to the northeast Kansas town of Hiawatha.
Instead, he’ll be making the 185-mile return trip in a brand-new, fully customized firetruck.
That truck will replace one that has been in service at the Hiawatha Volunteer Fire Department since the early 1970s, but both were made right here at Smeal Fire Apparatus Co., a specialty manufacturing company that builds firetrucks.
As Smeal expands its production, it will be reducing the time it takes to deliver trucks to customers like Butrick, the assistant fire chief in Hiawatha, who has been thinking about his impending drive for about 10 years. That’s how long it took the department and city to secure grant funding and rural development loans to put a new truck in service.
“I get questions every week about when the truck will be here,” Butrick said.
In a community like Hiawatha, population 3,178, debuts of new public services equipment are often few and far between. But in the years since the recession, even metropolitan governments have staved off spending for new equipment. A brand-new ladder truck can easily cost more than $1 million.
The stress on manufacturers has prompted a wave of consolidation and reorganization across the industry. While some manufacturers have struggled to recover, however, Smeal has seized on opportunities to grow its market share.
If mergers and acquisitions continue to characterize the state of the industry, Huber, who joined Smeal in September 2013, brings plenty of experience to the table.
He’s best-known for co-founding and leading Omaha-based health care payment management firm Payflex Holdings Inc. before the company was sold for $202 million to insurance giant Aetna in 2011.
Under current procedures, each truck travels an average of about 11 miles on Smeal’s warehouse floor from start to finish.
“We think we can get that down to about two miles,” Huber said.
The lean process improvement initiative has already overhauled the company’s finishing area, where employees string and connect bundles of wiring and hydraulic hoses from bumper to bumper as they put the final touches on each truck. Three months ago, employees worked on 13 trucks at a time and took a month to get them ready for delivery.
Now, employees work on six trucks at a time and cycle them through in six days.
The company’s plants in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania will eventually undergo a similar process, as will the plant in Neligh, Nebraska, 90 miles northwest of Snyder.
Still, Smeal, like its manufacturing counterparts across the state, struggles to attract and retain qualified workers.
Welders are always a hot commodity, Huber said, but skilled painters are critical to making a firetruck that is all but certain to put on a few parade miles in its lifetime.
“We need the best (painters) to meet the expectations of our clients. This isn’t some auto repair shop,” Huber said.
Cknows Huber’s pain.
Manufacturers are “heavyweights” when it comes to employment in northeast Nebraska and across the state. Of all the economic development leads Harry has seen this year, almost half have been in manufacturing.
That makes programs like Dream It Do It, which connects area high schoolers with internships and for-credit training in the industry, even more important to the local and state economy.
Smeal has landed at least two local youngsters on its payroll since 2012 thanks to that program, but Harry knows there is no silver bullet to holding onto young talent.
“Whether it’s young people just getting their degrees or just entering the workforce, the big question is how to keep them in the community. As communities get smaller, it’s almost like that issue compounds,” Harry said.
Meanwhile, Smeal marches onward, fully aware of obstacles both at home and across the industry.
In addition to the company’s acquisitions and plans to re-formulate its factory layout in Snyder, Smeal has added six new dealers over the last year, including one in Mexico. That endeavor represents the company’s first export foray south of the border.
For years, it has sold trucks to customers in Canada, and departments in all 50 states run Smeal equipment. But the company hasn’t always had such a wide reach.
“Until the 1990s, we were really a local builder,” Huber said.
What began in 1963 as an odd job to fix a leaky water tank on a local firetruck planted the seed that has grown into a company with products spanning the breadth of the North American continent and beyond.
Since then, Smeal has influenced a similar company, Danko Emergency Equipment Co., to set up shop in Snyder, from where it sells and services Smeal products in addition to a line of its own emergency equipment.
Growth will also come as Smeal grows its presence in northeastern U.S. markets where LTI and U.S. Tanker are well-known. Adding to the company’s rolls of large “marquis” departments like those in St. Louis; Fort Worth, Texas; Cleveland; and Charlotte, North Carolina, is important, Huber said, but the company hasn’t forgotten its roots in smaller, more rural departments.
That identity is important to Chris Bump, battalion chief of the Fresno County Fire District in central California.
“It’s awesome they’re from a small farm family in the middle of nowhere and they can maintain that persona while being a really heavy hitter and emerging force” in fire apparatus manufacturing, Bump said.

Spartan Motors agreed Tuesday to purchase Smeal Fire Apparatus of Snyder, Nebraska, for $36.3 million, a transaction that could affect 400 Smeal employees in Nebraska, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. |
