Anthony Joshua has his sights set on defending his IBF heavyweight crown against Eric Molina, but once his business his done on December 10, he'll have another world title fight set.
After weeks of deliberation, the WBA announced that it will sanction a fight for its "super" heavyweight title between Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko, which will take place in the spring of 2017.
The two boxers were negotiating a fight on December 10, but one of the obstacles that occurred during negotiations was whether or not the WBA would give its blessing for the fight to have it's world heavyweight title on the line. The title was previously vacated by Tyson Fury due to his personal issues after he defeated Klitschko for the title last year.
Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente told ESPN that he hopes Joshua wins his upcoming bout so that the two heavyweight titans can finally square off in the ring.
"Team Klitschko is very happy about this WBA resolution," Boente said. "Wladimir always was a proud and committed WBA 'super' champion and now he wants to regain his title. From the beginning, Wladimir made clear how important it is to him that the WBA title is on the line in his next fight. Hopefully, Anthony Joshua wins his upcoming fight against Molina and then we have a mega event, a promoter's dream fight coming true in March or April. Two Olympic super heavyweight gold-medal winners fighting each other, the young lion challenging the old lion. This is a fight each boxing fan around the world wants to see."
The news comes hours after it was announced that Joshua would fight Molina due to a Klitschko injury that prevents him from competing on December 10. Both Joshua and Klitschko wanted to schedule the fight for next spring,
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said that while the Joshua camp is happy about the news, and that the plan is to unify both Joshua's IBF title and the vacant WBA title, the fight against Molina "requires Anthony's full focus."
Klitschko previously held the WBA "super", IBF, WBO, IBO, The Ring, and lineal heavyweight titles until losing all of those titles to Fury last November. Klitschko has not fought since then.

Challenges in Better Co-ordinating Tokyo’s Urban Rail Services
This paper describes Tokyo’s urban rail market, which has traditionally been privately funded and operated; and discusses policies aimed at better coordinating public transport services. Although the industry has delivered high quality infrastructure and services for most users, the existence of many different private operators and owners of tracks means that services and station facilities are not always well connected to one another. Individual private parties often lack sufficient incentives to invest in connectivity improvements, such as installing elevators in stations or implementing missing connections between lines, since these do not usually directly increase their profits. Three case studies explore different policy responses to the challenge of balancing competing wishes of private actors with the needs of travellers. In all cases the government has intervened through legislation and grants to try to stimulate connectivity investment and to do so in consultation with local communities. The recent government interventions into the Tokyo rail market represent a gradual evolution in market structure with the goal of better meeting social needs.

What Are Water Towers For?
Water towers are nothing more than simple elevated tanks of water. Water towers provide storage and help keep a town’s water pressure high at all times. Generally, the pumping station sends water through the pipes that run beneath the streets at sufficient pressure to carry it to every faucet.
But sometimes the demand for water may be too great for the pressure a pumping station can supply. Then, water may only trickle from faucets. When the water pressure falls, water is released from the tall water tower. The water flows downward by gravity and provides the extra force needed to push the water through the piping system.
They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. However, they all work the same way. Water towers are tall and are often placed on high ground, so that they can provide sufficient pressure to deliver water to homes in case of an emergency. Scientists estimate that each foot of a water tower’s height provides a little less than half a pound per square inch of pressure.
As for the smaller water towers you see on the roofs of buildings in large cities, those are often required by local laws, so that buildings above a certain height will have their own sources of water in an emergency. If you ever visit New York City, you can see hundreds of buildings with their own water towers.

- Coronavirus has taken a graver turn in Italy as the country hit the highest number of death toll in a single day since its outbreak in China
- On Sunday, March 8, Italy confirmed 49 casualties as a result of the deadly infection while the case record rose from 5,883 to 7,375
- Similarly in Iran, all flights coming from Europe have been cancelled until further notice after the casualty level rose to 149 with cases soaring to 6,566
Italy becomes the first country in the world to witness the largest number of daily casualties occasioned by coronavirus after 49 people were confirmed dead on Sunday, March 8, by the authorities.
Since its outbreak in China, Italy has by far recorded the largest number of case of the epidemic in Europe with confirmed cases shockingly soaring up from 5,883 to 7,375 on Saturday, Sky News reports.
Tragically, the number of death casualties from coronavirus in Italy have towered up from 233 to 366, though the Protection Agency said 622 fully recovered from the virus Sunday, March 8.
About 16 million people in northern Italy have been on lockdown since the disease took a dangerous turn and prime minister Giuseppe Conte said the country will embark on a "massive shock therapy" as part of measure to put the disease under strict controls.
"We will not stop here. We will use massive shock therapy. To come out of this emergency we will use all human and economic resources," Giuseppe said when giving an update on the situation of things.
Meanwhile, coronavirus is hitting hard on Iran as the Islamic country has recorded 6,566 cases with the death toll rising to 194 as fresh 49 death cases were confirmed on Saturday.
According to Dailymail, Iranian authorities have announced to the country's citizens to avoid large gathering while also suspending all flights to Europe until further notice as part of measure to curb the spread of the infection.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that following the tragic collapse of a hotel being used as a coronavirus quarantine center in China, the Ministry of Emergency Management has revealed that ten people died after the building came down.
Eighty people were inside the center when it collapsed on Saturday, March 7. Nine out of that number were able to escape, while 71 people were trapped in the building. So far 48 people have been pulled from the rubble and as the remaining 23 are unaccounted for.
Throughout the night, more than 1,000 firefighters and other emergency responders worked to find survivors, the Fujian Fire Department said.

Are we, or are we not, in the throes of a health crisis? Read some of what is said, and it seems as though our civilisation is about to collapse in an Aids-related catastrophe, at the very moment when the National Health Service is itself suffering Government-administered euthanasia. Listen to others, and all this is made out to be so much cant, cynically orchestrated by interested parties: on the one hand, to bash the gays; on the other, to aggrandise the medical profession still further.
Who should we believe? First, it’s important to look at the date stamp. If any professional body in this country might be expected to be shouting from the rooftops about the Aids threat, surely it would be the Faculty of Community Medicine (the fancy new name for what was always called ‘public health’). Yet Aids hardly even figures on the agenda of ‘the public health challenge’, to judge from the collection of that title just issued by the Faculty: the disease gets just four brief mentions. Why? Not because the public health service thinks it’s all a scare, but because a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since early 1986, when the papers in this (otherwise fascinating) volume were written. It’s crucial to grasp, moreover, that medical politics plays its part in Aids-forecasting as well as in budgeting the NHS. Indeed, political rhetoric wears hardly a fig-leaf in Fitzpatrick and Milligan’s broadside, even though the authors promise us The Truth about the Aids Panic – and we’d better listen because their message carries the weight of medical authority (FitzPatrick is titled ‘Dr’ on the front cover, and on the back we are told he is a GP).
This truth, it seems, is that what we have to worry about is not Aids but the Aids panic. It is all a ‘scare’, ‘officially sponsored by the Government’ and its repressive, puritan and heterosexual mouthpieces, in cahoots with the medical top brass, greedily grasping at ‘more resources for a disease in vogue’. The point of official ‘propaganda’ is to ‘contribute to the anti-homosexual hysteria’, to police individuals’ lifestyles and bodies, and thereby reestablish those Victorian family virtues which Thatcherism requires: ‘the establishment has thrown its weight behind the Aids panic because it recognises how the virus can help it strengthen its faltering grip over society.’ Ignore the DHSS propaganda, proclaim Fitzpatrick and Milligan, the panic, not the disease, is the true health hazard: ‘safe sex’ is a threat to freedom.
Many reactions are possible to this line. One could accept that it simply is The Truth, Or one could admire its advice to gays – a challenge to the Terence Higgins Trust – to keep the sexual liberationist flag flying, admire this as a brave call to go down fighting (nos morituri ...). Or one could deplore it as an utterly mischievous tract whose epidemiological ignorance is exceeded only by its irresponsibility. What is most noteworthy, however, is its ritual invocation of conspiracy theory. They are out to get you – they being a cabal comprising the Government and the medical establishment (self-appointed ‘guardians of public morality’) which is both powerful and evil.
There is, of course, nothing new in radicals – or reactionaries, for that matter – spotting conspiracies where others see epidemics: no less a man of the people than William Cobbett was adamant that Asiatic cholera itself was a fiction invented by the powers-that-be to hold the masses in terror. Indeed, as Steve Watkins underlines in his book, the Left in many of its moods has traditionally suspected that the medical profession is merely the Tory Party in a white coat. Yet even it such diatribes make good agitation, as analyses of reality they are fundamentally flawed. Medical politics have always been, and remain, far more ambiguous. This is deftly shown in Frank Mort’s Dangerous Sexualities, a survey of sexual policing in England since the accession of Victoria. Focus initially upon the Early Victorian years, he suggests, and you see what appears to be an irresistible alliance of doctors, experts, reformers and administrators launching a grand medico-moral clean-up of the polluted – especially the Great Unwashed – in the name of public health, socio-sexual hygiene and state medicine. For reformers such as Edwin Chadwick, dirt, disease and decadence were all of a piece, and all would be washed away by the pure cold flush of the sanitary movement. This Victorian campaign for the control of sin, sex and sickness peaked with the Contagious Diseases Acts of the 1860s, which instituted the compulsory medical inspection and treatment of prostitutes in specified garrison and port towns.
Yet the Acts proved a Pyrrhic victory, for they drew so much flack from so many quarters, ranging from radical feminists to crusty libertarians, that they had to be repealed. And thereafter the cause of sexual reformation through acts of state was permanently eclipsed. Lobby after lobby arose to press for further legislation regulating sexual morals. In the 1890s, feminist-inspired crusades, such as the National Vigilance Association, diagnosing male lust as the root of all evil, demanded legislation against indecency and vice and the raising of the age of consent to 18: but this New Moralism gained few successes on the statute book.
Then, early in the present century, eugenist groups pressed for ‘social hygiene’ laws to prevent the unfit from breeding, but, unlike what happened in the USA, compulsory sterilisation was not forthcoming. Other pressure groups demanded that VD should be made a notifiable disease, and that penalties be introduced for spreading it or for failing to be treated: but the English system of VD clinics set up after World War One was, unlike the Scandinavian, purely voluntary.
Thus, Mort argues, despite the plethora of repressive or reforming discourses, what is remarkable is not how much, but how little, the state has chosen to enforce sexual morality through medical means. Why was this? It was partly a consequence of the often sectarian, cranky and authoritarian leadership of the medico-moral lobbies: New Morality activists won as many enemies as friends and proved politically maladroit. It was not lost on observers, for example, that the real victims of ‘purity league’ campaigns were not aristocratic debauchees but working-class prostitutes. Secondly, it was because the medical profession itself – perhaps aware of having burnt its fingers over the Contagious Diseases Acts – retreated into an ultra-cautious shell, and steadfastly declined to endorse measures for the enforcement of sexual norms which would compromise its own professional independence or violate that holy-of-holies, doctor-patient confidentiality. But, above all, it was because Parliament saw the folly of embroiling itself unnecessarily in those aspects of sexuality which were bound to prove bones of contention. Honourable Members were unwilling to countenance legislation (against prostitutes’ clients, for example) which was liable to make inroads into traditional male licence: in any case, ministers have long understood that votes are lost, not won, through intrusive, prying legislation. It is one thing to raid a few gay bookshops, another to propose using the law to censor page three.
Overall, argues Mort, to invoke the language of conspiracy to characterise medico-moral politics in England confuses rather than clarifies the issue. Over the last century, successive governments, and the medical profession, have dragged their feet: only occasionally have they been spurred into action by scandals and campaigns. Mort’s elucidation helps explain why today it is the ‘punish’ and not the ‘persuade’ brigade who are being kept on the sidelines in the formulation of policy over Aids.
Mort’s historical analysis is neatly complemented by the account of medical politics at the present time which is offered by Steve Watkins, doctor, official of the Medical Practitioners’ Union (part of ASTMS) and Labour Party activist. It is all too easy, Watkins contends, for Leftist ideologues to cast the medical profession in the role of ogre, ancestrally conservative and Conservative, over-paid, over-mighty and over-privileged, disposed not merely to preserve its own position, perks and privileges but also to enforce its own middle-class, hierarchical and patriarchal morality. Granted, certain occurrences lend superficial credence to this view, not least the fact that the crucial disputes and industrial action involving doctors have always taken place under Labour governments. Yet overall it is false.
Not because the profession is truly apolitical or above politics. But rather because its street-wisdom and muscle power lie in astutely maintaining an ostensible post of independence, backed up by appeals to medico-scientific fact and to the almost sacramental status of the doctor-patient relationship. Certainly, the profession has dug in its heels against Labour governments (as over pay-beds). Yet it also has an honourable record in resisting the Tories: a prestigious BMA Board of Science Report drew attention in 1983, not just to the health consequences of nuclear war, but also to the medical nonsense and bad faith of Tory Civil Defence planning, and in doing so cut more ice than any number of pro-CND resolutions. The current success of the profession in mobilising public opinion against the Government in defence of the NHS bears out Watkins’s case perfectly.
So what we see is ordinary, mucky interest-group politics, not some sinister conspiracy. Today, as in the past, governments and the medical profession frequently fail to see eye to eye, and the medical profession should not be credited with more clout or greater unity than it possesses. The medical monster proves as mythical as the wyvern.
One of the great strengths of the radical historical critique of science, medicine and the professions as it has emerged over the last generation has been its debunking of the mystique of scientific objectivity and professional neutrality. The scientific and medical policies pursued by governments typically embody moral priorities too, often masked and mystified through technical languages; professions wield oligarchic, sectional power no less than they serve their clients; and the disciplines they profess, as Foucault stressed, themselves form discourses of power. The danger is that in pursuing such demystification we slip into the equally moralistic language of conspiracy.
At the very least, this shorthand may conflate outcomes and intentions, professions and practice. More seriously, it readily conjures up a highly distorted picture of the agencies of political power, suggesting a monolithic plenitude of power: in reality, what counts for most in an intricate and pluralist society may be the complex arrangement of checks and balances which serves to hamper James Anderton no less than Gay Liberation. Between them, Mort and Watkins offer astute assessments of the scope and limits of medical politics in Britain past and present. In these days of Aids and Aids panic, they offer far more reliable guidelines to an understanding of what has happened than does the shrill rhetoric of Fitzpatrick and Milligan.

Why am I adding another shop?
#1 reason: because I want to be wise with my business. To keep up with Gussy and some behind-the-scene projects, I’ve been working a lot. Gussy is growing fast and I couldn’t be more excited. Despite that excitement, however, it seems that Etsy is more and more expensive to me as the seller. Since most of my shop traffic is from blog referrals I am confident the sales will follow me, despite the move. Also, by making wise financial decisions I’m able to offer you new Gussy products more often. See? It’s a win-win for everyone.
Etsy is a great community to be a part of. It’s helped to bring Gussy to where it’s at today and I am by no means “dropping Etsy”. I have nothing negative to say about the site, just positive wants and needs for Gussy.
I think so! For one, you don’t have to create an account to buy. Secondly, I still accept PayPal, so you know your money is secure. I believe the check-out process to be smoother, as well.

For Ate Cesca’s 7th birthday, we skipped the idea of a traditional party since it’ll involved 2 things that are major concerns for us at the moment: Budget and Time. We still wanted to do something special, so we’ve decided that aside from throwing a simple celebration for her at school, we’ll also have a family staycation at Acacia Hotel Manila!
Acacia Hotel Manila is a five-star Filipino luxury hotel located at the heart of Alabang’s business and commercial district which is at most 30 minutes away from our home in Taguig.
[Find more amazing staycation deals HERE]
When I was searching for hotels online, one of the main point I considered was the location because we’ll be leaving baby Raven with my mom — the hotel needs to be near enough that we can go home immediately in case we needed to.
I booked directly through their website and since excited akong bata, I was able to avail of a 10% early bird discount! We got a Deluxe Twin room which includes buffet breakfast for 2, free VERY STRONG 24-hour Wifi access, use of swimming pool and gym plus shuttle services within the Alabang area.
Check In & Reception
We arrived an hour early for the 3PM check-in but since the room was already available, we were able to go up na. Checking in was a breeze and the receptionist was very friendly.
I printed beforehand a copy of our confirmation email, so I was just asked for a valid photo ID and Php 3,000 incidental fee which was refunded upon checkout, less the room charges we incurred. We were given 2 electronic proximity cards, the wifi’s password and the buffet breakfast’s schedules.
The Room & Amenities
We were given a room on the 9th floor and it did not disappoint.
It was spacious with plenty of space of the 2 girls to run around in. The fluffy white beds and pillows were the softest. It was too soft and too comfy that I momentarily forgot that I needed to take photos! Sorry!
I tried to take a clear shot of the whole room but then this happened. To say that she got very excited was an understatement!
The room has complete amenities for the perfect staycation — cable-equipped 40” LCD, full-size executive desk with universal socket and phone system. They also provided complimentary tea, coffee and bottled water.
The dresser by the door contains a digital safety deposit box that can be activated by your electronic proximity cards, iron and ironing board plus bath robes and slippers. The safe was big enough that you can fit your laptop.
There were 2 things I noticed though. There was no welcome fruit platter plus the fridge was empty, not that we’ll get anything from it, but still right? Maybe they forgot?
Moving along, another plus factor that I considered when looking for a hotel — needs to have a bathtub! I have 2 very kikay girls who just love taking bubble bath 🙂
The bathroom was pristine clean and spotless. There’s the separate tub and glass-enclosed shower with rain shower head with hot and cold options. Basic toiletries were provided as well. Plus they have hair dryer!
It took sometime for us to get off the beds since they seriously are the comfiest. After some struggle (haha), we had a late lunch/early dinner at North Park (in South Supermarket).
The hotel offer shuttle service within the Alabang vicinity but since we have restless kids with us, we figured that the walk will do them good. We also had a quick look at the Samanea garden, pool and gym area.
When we returned to the room, it’s cleaned and refreshed, and the bed linens turned down. And as we were getting ready to spend the rest of the night cuddled up while watching TV, hotel staff knocked on our door with another surprise for our birthday girl.
Since I had to express milk, I woke up the earliest and was able to snap a photo of my mag-ama in slumber. Pretty obvious that the beds were very well slept in, right?
Our stay also includes complimentary buffet breakfast for 2 at Acaci. I made sure we woke up early for this! This was one of my ‘selling’ points when I discussed our staycation plan with hubby. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a spread of good food?
And once more Acacia Hotel did not disappoint. I’ve tried other hotel buffets and I can say that their spread is impressive with a balanced mix of Continental and Filipino breakfast favorites.
The food was so delicious and the experience was so good that it deserves a separate post!
My only gripe was that it’s only free for kids ages 0-5. My eldest is a picky eater and is very loyal to her dad’s cooking that why I felt it’s too much to pay half the buffet’s price just so she can eat. I do hope hotels can reconsider this policy. Make it free for ages 0 up to 10 perhaps?
Nevertheless, the buffet was a hit to hubby and myself! We are such hearty eaters that I felt we got our money’s worth sa food palang haha.
After breakfast, we then went up and got changed so that the kids can swim.
Acacia Hotel has 2 swimming pools, the lap pool and the smaller one for kids. They also have a Jacuzzi but we weren’t able to try it. A group stayed there the whole morning haha.
TIP: The pool got crowded pretty fast though since it’s a Sunday so it’s better to take a dip earlier.
TRULY FILIPINO SERVICE LIKE NO OTHER
Since we are a family with a grade schooler, a toodler and an infant, it’s really a challenge for us to plan a trip anywhere out of the metro. This is why a staycation is perfect for us. We get to ‘escape’ from the hustle and bustle of our everyday routine without worrying much about ‘logistics’. And being staycation virgins, we’ve made the right decision to stay at the Acacia Hotel.
Apart from the five star hotel amenities (I cannot stress it enough — the comfiest beds and good food!), we really felt taken care of like we were just at home. From the moment we arrived, there was nothing but friendly and accommodating smiles. The staff we attentive and always ready to help, truly an affirmation of their unparalleled Filipino hospitality.
Will we be coming back?
Definitely! As I’ve said, I think our staycation in Acacia Hotel Manila ruined future staycations for us since we now have very high expectations. Aside from some minor area’s for improvement, we truly enjoyed our stay. And since the kids are still raving about it we actually booked another night’s stay this time with the rest of the family!
NOTE: This is not a sponsored post. Our family just loved our stay!

Welcome to our Love Blossoms Blog Hop! We will be featuring Love Blossoms Special. This special includes different kit options and an exclusive stamp set.
If you have come here from Michelle Stewart’s Blog , you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog. To visit each blog for some great ideas just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!
Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Love Blossoms Stamp Set, Mix In Paper Packet, Sugarplum Glitter Paper, Sugarplum Shimmer Brush, Gold Shimmer Brush, Silver Embossing Thread, Black Shimmer Trim, Black Dots, Inks (Lagoon, Charcoal, Pixie, Fern, Intense Black), Waterbrush, and Cards Value Pack.
This is such a beautiful stamp set. I changed up the workshop by creating some cards using the Mix In Paper Packet . On the first card I used the
Sugarplum Shimmer Brush to color the flowers. For the other two cards, I used a waterbrush and lifted ink from my ink pads. For this technique, you squeeze the lid and bottom together and when you take the lid off some of the ink remains on the inside of the lid. You can then pick up the color using a waterbrush and color the flowers for a watercolor look. More water creates a lighter color and less water results in a darker color.
Now “Hop” on over to Michelle Loncar’s Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the consultants at their blogs to get some great crafting ideas!

New Pact for Europe - National Report - POLAND
This is the eighth in a series of National Reports to be published as part of the new phase of the New Pact for Europe project. According to the Polish NPE Reflection Group, the EU should be more engaged in crucial policy areas, such as economic governance, migration and security. Reforms should primarily aim at improving the EU's 'performance legitimacy' rather than focus on the perceived 'democratic deficit'. This also includes developing impactful communication policies at the European, national and regional levels to address the double challenge of populism and Euroscepticism.
Drawing on the discussions held amongst the members of the group, the report presents a set of conclusions on how to address the key challenges the Union and its member states are facing at the moment, and calls on them to take action to boost the legitimacy of the European integration project:
- In the areas of institutional reform and economic governance, the report advocates reforms based on enhanced cooperation. While a 'multi-speed Europe' seems unavoidable at this stage, such an initiative must not lead to a de facto splitting of the EU into a semi-permanent 'core' and a 'periphery'. Eurozone reforms are a subject of particular concern in Poland. The report calls for these reforms to be implemented within the framework of the existing EU institutions and remain open to latecomers, such as Poland.
- In the area of migration policy, the report concludes that the quota-based system of relocation and resettlement has led to many negative consequences in a number of member countries, including Poland. The system should be replaced with a Common Asylum Policy, which would be financed and managed by the EU. Likewise, the report welcomes the establishment of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency and advocates that it receives sufficient resources to successfully improve EU border security. Last, but not least, the report calls for a long-term migration policy that would reconcile the concerns of the public with the needs of European labour markets given the continent's current demographic trends.
- Finally, regarding matters of security, the report reflects the Polish sensitivity vis-à-vis potential threats from a resurgent Russia, while recognising that other EU members, especially southern Europeans, may have different perceptions. It calls for an extensive discussion between politicians and experts from different member states to bring these diverging perceptions closer as a pre-condition for a truly effective and positive development of European foreign and security policies. The report welcomes new initiatives in the field of security, such as PESCO or the European Defence Fund, but argues to make these efforts complementary with NATO commitments, which remain crucial for Europe's defence.

Baby Name: Asia
From the name of the continent, which is possibly derived from the Assyrian word, asu, meaning "east." According to the Koran, it is the name of Pharaoh's wife who raised Moses as her own son. Sometimes used as a short form of trendy names ending with "ia," such as Anastasia or Aspasia. It debuted on the chart in 1979 and landed among the top 300 from 1990 to 2005. Also a variation of Aisha, the name of Muhammad's favorite wife, referred to as one of the four "perfect women."

We are living in the society, which is full of multi-talented individuals. Some introverts wish to take the top position in the management, but all in vain.
You may come across people degrading introverts for being numb and unresponsive. The question says, is there any possibility for an introvert to run a B2B company?
It might give you a break for a second, but yes, they are humans too.
Our leaders have declared a theory that only extroverts have ruling power. The misconception is still on the ground. It is hard to believe, but there is always room for growth. China B2B marketplace also has some outstanding introvert leaders that are self-reliant and confident about their role in the market.
Let’s explore how introverts fit in the category of future leaders because it is too mainstream to think that the B2B market belongs to extroverts only.
Interesting Facts about Introverts Being Great Entrepreneurs
Greater Opportunities Come With Clear Listening
One of the biggest mistakes our leaders make is preferring speaking over listening. Not necessarily speaking gives you a crown for ruling an empire. Listening to others itself holds a true worth in entrepreneurship.
Introverts are more comfortable listening to the surrounding while extroverts speak more than listening to another person. This trait contradicts the talent of a great entrepreneur.
When an introvert individual listens to its employees, it is giving them value. Not only this, but it makes them clear about the actions to be taken against the situation. Keeping a balance between the two traits is what an entrepreneur should know.
Introvert Leaders are Smart and Creative
Have you ever seen an extrovert taking an immediate decision that works better for everyone? This might be true in some cases, but introverts rightly fit to the above situation.
Introversion is all about smartness and creativity. These leaders think out of the box to make things perfect for everyone. China B2B marketplace has a few introvert manufacturers who exceptionally perform in their domain that prompts their creativity and smartness every time.
With creativity and intelligence, introvert entrepreneurs become a problem-solver and are more inclined towards taking out the best solutions. Unlike extrovert individuals, introverts have the inborn talent to become a sound leader where creativity meets perfection.
Solitude Becomes Effective Here
It is not a demerit to work with too many people in a room. Extroverts feel pleasure in working with everyone because diversity is what needed the most in taking the businesses to the next level.
However, it is also not lacking to work in solitude. Introverts prefer working alone, which is acceptable to run the business with an entirely different perspective. What we should know is that an entrepreneur must remain in a comfort zone, which triggers their talents and new ideas.
You can find zillion examples of B2B entrepreneurs who are ruling the world while keeping them away from everyone.
It can be frustrating for an extrovert to remain in a darker room as compared to live out freely and roam around for seeking innovation. Introversion is all about space and comfort.
Clam Nature Results in Profitable Outputs
Have you ever noticed how a silent person influences the audience involved in an argument? It does fit here too.
Introverts’ calm nature is everything to run a competitive business in the B2B market. These leaders may sound boring, but their clam nature gives real exposure to a brighter side.
If you have seen extrovert leaders recently, then you must be aware of their nature to poke in the situation without having full or complete knowledge. This complex trait can involve a leader in the worst situation.
Silence is the sword for introvert leaders. It doesn’t mean to stay quiet every time, but a composed personality brings more extensive opportunities than an extrovert’s ability to step in the situation without a backup.
Introverts are Keen Observers
Another most compelling attribute of an introvert leader in the China B2B marketplace is its observing trait. Not everyone has the talent to analyze the situation and act accordingly. But introverts have.
It is not wrong to say that extroverts take action first and then analyze the situation – this is too harmful for their reputation and the B2B Company.
Introverts, when observing the situation, are capable of looking beyond the scope to bring the ideas or solutions that are beneficial for everyone. Whether it is about retaining clients or hiring an employee, introvert entrepreneurs always observe the personality and/or body language, which is essential for business commitment.
The in-depth focus is essential in keeping a difference between an extrovert and introvert leader.
Humbleness also Encourage Others
What if you are not down-to-earth and others restrict themselves to look at you for a valuable support? It develops a negative impression on others.
Being humble is vital in leading a business. Extroverts often humiliate others due to their outspoken attribute, and this makes things go worst.
Introverts are humble and get more respect in return. The foremost principle of leadership is building a strong impression in the eyes of your employees, and that comes with staying firm and humble.
This added attributes also helps the leader to differentiate between the right and the wrong and keeps everything balanced within the scope.
The Bottom Line
There are always two sides to the story – and the same is the case in the leadership. Every individual has a different nature, and so does it influences the surrounding.
The post compares two facets of entrepreneurship, which is vital in leading a B2B company in the fierce competition. When a leader is confident with prominent physical and emotional traits, then there are many chances of the company to grow.
It doesn’t mean that extroverts can’t make great entrepreneurs – both introverts and extroverts are suitable for leadership but in totally different aspects.
Just keep in mind that with great leadership comes diverse opportunities.

BY MARY KUYE
Youth restiveness in the Niger-Delta would be drastically reduced upon the completion of the Edo Modular Refinery project, which is said to be about 95 per cent completed.
Situated at Ologbo in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State, its believed that after completion, the project would attract more investment in modular refineries in Nigeria and generates employment.
Frans Ojielu, Global Advisor of the Edo Refinery and Petrochemical Company, who spoke during an inspection visit by the Federal Government delegation, led by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Edobor Iyamu, commended the Edo State Government for creating an enabling environment and also assisting in the successful take-off of the project.
The Edo Modular Refinery is a project brought about by a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU under the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration.
The six thousand barrels per day modular refinery, is in line with the new vision for the Niger-Delta, ensuring that the people benefit maximally from the wealth in the region.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Edobor Iyamu, noted that the project will have a strategic impact on the Niger-Delta Region.
The main opposition party in the State had in a press conference accused Governor Obaseki of attempting to steal the credit for the construction of the modular refinery.
Upon completion, the impact of the modular refinery will be far-reaching and of immense benefit to the people which is the intention of the Godwin Obaseki led administration.
To the State Government, the economic prosperity of Edo people matters and no amount of politicisation of the project by the opposition can change that.

Health Policy & Management Alumni Association (HPMAA) at UCLA
Dear UCLA Health Policy and Management Alumni Association Supporter,
While these are challenging times, the Health Policy and Management Alumni Association (HPMAA) has many reasons to give thanks. At the top of our list is you.
I wanted to personally thank you on behalf of the board for your continued support of HPMAA. Despite our inability to gather in person to honor awardees and celebrate the Class of 2020, you graciously stepped up and pledged your continued support for our cause. For that, we will be forever grateful.
Because of you, HPMAA continues to fulfill our mission to support HPM students and alumni. As in years past, HPMAA will offer scholarships for two incoming HPM students in Fall 2020. HPMAA will also continue to support student programs by hosting events that allow them to develop their professional acumen and grow their networks so that they can quickly contribute to the field of public health upon graduation.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The Salvation Army of Marion, Monongalia and Preston Counties is having their annual ‘Stuff the Bus’ campaign in collaboration with the Granville Walmart this year.
The goal of the campaign is for the public to donate back to school supplies in bins at the store or to the Salvation Army’s office in Morgantown, which is located at 1264 University Ave.
‘Stuff the Bus’ will run from Friday, Aug. 7 to Sunday, Aug. 9. This is the first year the Granville Walmart and the Salvation Army are collaborating and both parties say this year is especially important.
“Walmart has been fabulous with giving us this opportunity to partner with them for the community to purchase items and give it to us, so that we are just the middle man turning it right around and giving it to the families who have suffered with some financial difficulties, especially this year as a result of COVID-19,” Lt. Sheldon Greenland with the Salvation Army said.
Greenland said he is very grateful to have Walmart’s help and encouraged the public to visit the store, buy school supplies and donate them in the bins. He said the donated products do not need to be purchased from Walmart or recently purchased, just in good condition.
The co-manager of the Granville store, John Rohrer said back to school season is looking different this year because of the pandemic and Walmart just wants to do its part to help.
“A lot of students’ families have been impacted financially with the COVID-19,” Rohrer said. “And we are hoping to provide those families with a great opportunity by partnering with the Salvation Army to provide them back to school supplies.”
Greenland said he understands that much of the public has been financially impacted by the pandemic but if it is possible people should reach deep and donate what they can.
“Every little bit helps and during these times we have seen unprecedented changes, so anything that you can give will definitely be a positive help for those who are going through a tough time,” Greenland said.
Greenland added his gratefulness to the public as well.
“I just want to say thank you for your continued support of what the Salvation Army does,” Greenland said. “Not just us, but all the other charitable organizations, so we just ask you to continue to support us as we continue to support and take care of our community. You guys take care and God bless.”

President Donald Trump has made it clear that his administration’s trade policies will reflect his “America First” campaign.
Last week, it was revealed that China had the largest-ever annual trade surplus with the U.S. in 2017.
So why is the U.S. importing more from China than exporting? Well, for years Chinese companies have been accused of stealing trade secrets from U.S. companies and then making a similar product for much less money.
The U.S. Commerce Department is expected to reveal its findings this week from the probe the department did into China’s intellectual property theft and cyber espionage.
This evidently has influenced the Trump administration to take a stricter stance on the trade agreements with China.
“There’s a lot of consensus around the viewpoint that China does need to be the focal point, because China’s behaviors are causing significant problems for the U.S. economy and for the global trading system,” said a White House economic official to Wall Street Journal.
Trump has threatened to end or at least renegotiate multiple trade agreements, including the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico and the U.S.-South Korea free-trade agreement.
“I’m not going to minimize Nafta and Korus. I do think everyone realizes that even if Nafta and Korus aren’t working as well as they could, they are only part of the broader concerns we have,” said the official to WSJ.
“He (Trump) has also continued to grumble about the trade deficit with China, telling President Xi Jinping recently that “the situation is not sustainable”, according to the White House,” writes Today. “But Mr. Trump has yet to deliver on the tariffs he threatened to introduce during the 2016 campaign, or the unapologetic protectionism outlined in an inaugural address in which he pledged to “protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.”
Although Trump expressed some harsh criticisms of China in his first year, he also had some productive meetings with the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“When Mr Trump was in Beijing, he touted his “great chemistry” with Mr. Xi, and told the media that instead of blaming China for the imbalanced bilateral trade relationship, he gave China “great credit” for effectively taking advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens. Mr. Trump has also tweeted that their conversations on both trade and North Korea were “very productive”. Chinese media reported that both leaders hailed the great progress achieved in the bilateral relationship and agreed to further enhance cooperation,” writes The Straits Times.
Trump has played nice in hopes that China would assist with the North Korea nuclear missile problem.
“I have been soft on China because the only thing more important to me than trade is war,” said Trump to The New York Times last month. “If they’re helping me with North Korea, I can look at trade a little bit differently, at least for a period of time.”
China hasn’t applied enough pressure according to Trump, meaning it’s time for the U.S. to reevaluate its trade policies with the Communist country.
The Trump Administration has said that it’s making trade policy a priority this year, especially pertaining to China.
“You do see a theme in some of the upcoming decisions the president has to make,” said the official to WSJ. “You have Chinese industrial policy at its core.”
The administration has discussed introducing harsher penalties on Chinese imports, like aluminum, steel, and solar equipment. But, this could ignite a trade war. China imports a large supply of U.S. soybeans, which could change in response to penalties.
However, China does seem fairly open to renegotiating trade policies.
Hua Chunying, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said that “a large number of facts prove that the economic relations and trade between China and the United States are mutually beneficial…. We are willing to make concerted efforts with the United States to stay committed to building the robust, steady and sound economic relations.”
It also looks like lawmakers are more on board with trade renegotiations with Beijing versus Canada.
“At Senate hearings this week, senior Republican lawmakers who have urged the president to be more cautious on shaking up Nafta said they would heartily endorse a harder line against Beijing. “President Trump’s priority of confronting the challenges posed by China is a goal that I support,” said Utah’s Orrin Hatch, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees trade legislation,” writes WSJ.
Author’s note: It’s about time we’ve had a president that takes trade negotiations seriously. China has been stealing our technology all along. Then they sell it back to us for a cheaper price. Not to mention, the country manipulates their currency and have been playing us in regards to North Korea too. It’s time to hold them accountable.

COUPLE TIE THE KNOT IN SPECTACULAR £45K HARRY POTTER WEDDING
A couple have tied the knot in a spectacular Harry Potter-themed wedding which cost £45,000. Stephanie Dodd, 26, and Samuel Goetsch, 25, of Houston, Texas spent a year and half planning their dream wedding which took place on March 25th this year. The wedding venue, Bell Tower on 34th in Houston, was transformed into the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter, complete with trees and lanterns. Stephanie walked down an aisle made from pages from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels and guests arrived to the sound of John Williams' Hedwig's Theme, which appeared throughout the film series.

So what, you might ask.
These are amongst the possible results:-
Your loved ones will be (even more) upset because no-one knows what to do or who is in charge.
Who you want to inherit might well not.
A court action will be needed.
It will be more expensive to wind up your estate.
The family might go to war.
Your wishes for your remains may be unknown or, if known, ignored.
Your wishes for a service (or wishes for no service) may be unknown or, if known, ignored.
These are just examples. There are other potential pitfalls for you and your family.
Don’t leave it too late!
The BBC said it was easy and took just 10 minutes to make a Will on my website.
Look for yourself – you pay nothing until you are satisfied.

If you live in a neighborhood that has houses that pretty much looks the same from the outside, then it’s fair for you to want to do something to make your home stand out to those who visit your home as well as your neighborhood. Here are a few tips and suggestions that will aid you in your mission…
Make the exterior of it interesting – make sure the exterior of your home is eye catching, as this is where most of your guests get the first impression of your home. take the time to make your garden, and to make it look vibrant and loved. If you’re no green thumb who can see to watering, reliable tree removals Perth, planting and replanting and other gardening related things, simply hire the appropriate professionals for it…!
If you have a garden you’re proud of, show it off – if you’ve hired an arborist, a gardener, and a landscaper to make your garden appear pretty as a picture, don’t allow its glory to be forgotten after a few passing glances of it by your guests. Set up comfortable and cozy seating arrangements for your guests outdoors so you may enjoy chatting out their when the weather permits. Opening up your home towards the garden in shape of French doors or sliding doors. If you are interested about stump grinding you can visit this website https://www.urbantreelopping.com.au/stump-grinding/.
Add a little fun to your door step – make your house guests smile a little by having fun door mats or fun quotes at your door. You can DIY these wall decorations, or even opt to get them bought off the shore. Just remember; fun, not rude.
Choose unique wall color combinations for the interior– most people tend to stick to color themes that are well and truly fail safe. Whites, for example are ever so popular for walls due to their classic look. And while we agree that white walls are very pretty, there is nothing unique in them. for sure you can stick to the safe colors like beige; but try your best to complement it with unusual colors like olives or lilac.
Accent walls draw attention away from the imperfections of your home – don’t worry if your home has imperfection; every home does! But if the imperfections of your home is worrying to you, simply draw the attention of your visitors away from those imperfections through accent walls and wall décor.
Add unique “nooks” to your home – make use of all those nooks you have in your home. Turn them into practical solutions such as a reading corner, a tiny hidden home office or even a place to showcase your hobbies. Just make sure to bring attention to these nooks so they stand out, and not get overlooked.

Photo Gallery of Dream - Surprise
The meaning of the dream symbol: Surprise
The term surprise needs no specific explanation. it is nothing but an emotion that you express when something unexpected happens to you. however, this unexpected thing needs to be positive.
Dreaming of being surprised indicates your need for change. You are looking forward to be surprised in your life because you are tired of the same old things that have been happening since quite some time in your life. You want to get out of the same schedule and do something different in your life to surprise others as well as yourself in your waking life.
If you dream of being surprised by someone that you know in your waking life, it indicates your emotion towards him. You want him to do something special for you, but he is not showing much of interest in you. For an instance, you may see your crush sending roses to your doorstep. this is something that your heart longs for and hence the emotion is seen in the dream.
Dreaming of being pleasantly surprised means that you want some good things to happen to you now because you are tired of all those struggles that you have been going through all this while.
Being surprised represents emotions, pleasance, happiness, joy, fear, something that your heart longs for and inner desires.
Dreaming of being surprised by your loved one means that you want the relationship to be better, even though it seems impossible now. You are at the verge of breaking up, but since there are still some strings attached between the two of you, you are unable to let go off him, completely.
Dreaming of being unpleasantly surprised means that some embarrassing moment may happen to you in the coming time. Don't worry - this is not going to be something big.
Most Common Surprise Dreams:
Surprised by friends - You are missing your friends and you are expecting the long lost ones to return to you, if you see such a dream.
Surprised by enemies - Such a dream means that you are going to resolve your problems with most of your enemies.
Surprised by a non-living thing - Such a dream means that you are expecting something impossible from your life.

Choose the Right Employee Reward and Recognition Program Incentive
The most common type of service award is the traditional length of service
program. These awards recognize people for their commitment to the company and
can help establish an almost forgotten feeling in today's workplace . . . a
sense of belonging. It's no longer realistic to wait until an employee's 25th
anniversary to honor his dedication and high performance. Workers who stay with
you through the ups and downs deserve to be recognized and thanked for their
loyalty and excellent work more often than every couple of decades.
Once you know a few specifics about your target audience, you'll be able to determine whether they would respond best to a peer-to-peer incentive program or an annual incentive award determined by management.
It's common to have a mixture of these programs when designing a employee reward and recognition program incentive. You may even want to tie a number of incentive programs under one umbrella.
For example, a large manufacturing plant enjoyed success with this mixed approach. Management started off targeting perfect attendance and on-time records. Then the program expanded to include a peer-to-peer component. As the result of an employee suggestion, management added one of our a merchandise catalog for greater achievements as an option to the regular gift certificates. Eventually, management developed a program that reviewed peer-to-peer honors awarded during a three-month period and selected one for a more significant award.
One of the most interesting characteristics of this program is how willing management was to let employees influence it. The workers developed a true sense of ownership and connection to their Employee Reward and Recognition Program.
When you're deciding which kind of service award program to use, keep in mind specific business objectives that tie in with the award recognition program. This connection with corporate goals helps justify and protect the award program's budget. Also, poorly conceived objectives can sink a program, no matter how well intentioned. Brainstorm with colleagues for a cohesive set of goals.
Last but not least, determine your budget, which encompasses all administrative costs, as well as the awards. The largest portion of your budget, about 70-75%, should go toward the awards themselves, as well as the celebratory banquet or special event.
Next is promotion, claiming about 15-20% of your budget. If employees don't know about a program, they can't participate. Also, if they think it's not a big deal, they won't attribute much significance to it. Any money left over goes toward administration.
When planning your budget, give careful thought to the demographics of your target audience. For example, if your service program is targeting a group that makes six figure salaries, the award must have substantial symbolic value or be a fairly nice award in order to get their attention.

“What we have loved, others will love, and we will teach them how.”
(W. Wordsworth, from “The Prelude”)
NOTES FROM READERS
What you think
Merry Christmas and Happy 2016, faithful readers. I wish you blessings in the new year.
Occasionally, I (or my colleagues) refer to items from previous issues of Notes. If you have not been a subscriber previously, and wish to review our conversations, past issues of Notes are available on-line at www.jgacounsel.com. I thank my friends at Johnson, Grossnickle & Associates for their many years of abiding support for our reflective practice.
REFLECT ON THIS
I was honored to be named the Minnesota Professional Fundraiser of the year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) – we had a great year of fundraising at Augsburg! I was reminded that I had received a similar honor back in 1994 from the Chicago chapter of what is now AFP. That was the occasion when I first shared my “Grain gatherer” vocational story, a story that has resonated for me and many others as a meaningful way to think of and practice our noble work. I decided to craft my acceptance remarks around the story – once again…
“I am deeply humbled and grateful for this special honor – and privileged to receive it alongside these remarkable individuals and organizations that make our community such a humane and compassionate and progressive place to live, work and serve.
Twenty-one years ago this month, I received this same award from the Chicago chapter of AFP (then NSFRE) and in my remarks I shared the following story that has become iconic, not just for me, but for a generation of philanthropic fundraisers who have found in it inspiration to embrace the joy and nobility of our work alongside all of you. Here is my story..
I remember a Saturday morning some 45 years ago, when my father, a Lutheran minister, and I hopped into a borrowed pick-up truck to commence a day of work on behalf of the Church World Service’s CROP program. Though most of you probably know CROP today through its annual “walks,” in rural areas CROP has long sponsored the grain contribution effort we helped with that day.
For eight or nine hours that Saturday, my dad and I drove from farm to farm in our southern Wisconsin community gathering contributions of grain from generous farmers. When our pick-up truck was full, we would drive to the local grain elevator to unload. At the end of the day, the elevator operator totaled our various contributions and the contributed grain was transported to the Church World Service barge or flatbed, ultimately ending up in Africa or Asia as part of U.S. efforts to alleviate world hunger.
On that Saturday, my dad and I were grain-gatherers. Along with the grain donors (the farmers), the grain-storers and counters (the elevator operator), the grain brokers (Church World Service), and the grain recipients (the hungry of the world), we participated in the common work of a community where each member did his/her part, helping to relieve a need, building a healthier world.
It is a simple picture of a complex set of dynamics. It is, however, a picture that defines who I am and what it is I care about in my work. I was called to be a grain-gatherer. I live out that vocation every day in my professional life. From my early experience, however, I know well that my work makes no sense outside of the community of grain donors, counters, brokers, and recipients, who share my commitment to a more humane, just and responsible world.
This is what I call philanthropy as common work – each of us doing our part in concert to advance the values and missions of our organizations and causes. In the spirit of common work, then, allow me to thank…
Thank you all again. It is a privilege to be your partner in the common work of philanthropy.
A Weary World
Romans 8:22-24 (NRSV)
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; 23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen?
John 1:14 (NRSV)
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.
[Augsburg College Chapel, Advent 1, November 30, 2015]
Grace and peace to you from God our creator and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – and blessings to you in this Advent season when love once again breaks into human history to enliven and empower us to live as God’s faithful people in the world! Amen.
As we enter this Advent season and prepare for our annual Advent Vespers worship services this week, the haunting hymn we have just sung and the theme of this year’s vespers – “Light dawns on a weary world” – rings especially true. For surely we all long for the light to break forth in the midst of our darkness, to offer us respite and peace and hope in the midst of a weary world marked by violence and fear and hate. How long, O God, must we wait; how long must we live in the darkness; how long must we despair of your reign breaking in?
How long, indeed?
We grieve over a weary world, a world that groans in labor pains – pains that each of us feels deeply and personally. A weary world where terrorists kill innocent people in Paris and Beirut and Mali and Nigeria; where insurgents on all sides garner fear and hatred; where our sacred earth is threatened by our own selfish and foolish behaviors; where communities around our country are torn apart by violence that disproportionately targets people of color; where, even in our own campus community, our fellow travelers experience bias and misunderstanding. How long must we wait for love and justice and mercy and compassion and hope to break into our groaning creation, our weary world?
Surely our gracious God hears our prayers. And yet, one of the temptations of Advent is our often impatient, even passive, waiting for the light to dawn. We grieve and we lament – surely important acts in themselves – and we wait for the light we know has come and will come again, but is that where it ends, is that all there is to do?
As we turn into this liturgical season, let us be reminded of this college’s founding scripture and perhaps the most apt way to sum up what Advent marks for God’s faithful people: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelled among us.” Consider this. God broke into human history. God came into the darkness. God chose to dwell in the weary world, alongside of us, and in so doing offers us all a path forward, an inspiration to move beyond waiting, the stuff of which hope is forged. And that is what we embrace this Advent.
When we are tempted to sit back and wait, we give up on the mystery and work that is all around us – a mystery we are called to embrace, work we are called to do. In one of this year’s Advent Vespers readings, the poet Wendell Berry invites us to know the dark, for God is in the dark as well, blooming and singing of the promised redemption.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
–Wendell Berry, “To Know the Dark” from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry, 1999.
As theologian Barbara Brown Taylor has written: “…here is the testimony of faith: darkness is not dark to God; the night is as bright as the day.” So how shall we go without sight this Advent, how will we join with our awesome God, who walks alongside us on the way to Bethlehem and Jerusalem and Emmaus, to Paris and Beirut and Minneapolis and St. Louis – holy cities all?
Surely we must begin by proclaiming that “The Word became flesh and dwelled among us” is both a theological and a practical claim upon us. It is a proclamation that God so loved us that God came into the world, was made incarnate (as we claim in our Christian creeds), chose to live in the darkness, in a weary world, in a groaning creation. That is the theology of the gospel writer, but given John’s soaring philosophical, ethereal tendencies, we often forget that the theology demands faithful action; the theology calls us to do God’s work, to work alongside God in healing the world, to be the Word made flesh in our own lives of faith in the darkness, in the weary world. That is the practical claim.
And so we commit once again this Advent season, not to be tempted to wait for the light that is to come but to bear witness to the light already come – the Word made flesh – that calls us to action, to go without sight and travel in the darkness, to be of good courage and faith on the path that Jesus first trod for us, to know that God’s spirit is here in our midst, never leaving us comfortless or without a horizon of hope.
And into the darkness we go – as God’s faithful people – to:
Christ Has No Body
Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
My friends in Christ, stand with someone, stand for something, stand up – for light dawns, love grows, and hope blooms when and where we live as God’s faithful people. May you know God’s grace and truth on your Advent journeys in the weary world until all the world in wonder echoes Shalom. Amen.
I first shared this simple piece almost 16 years ago when we were on the cusp – as we are now – of an electoral season surely to be marked by incivility and misinformation…here’s hoping and doing our part!
“I recently heard Scott Simon, the Saturday morning host on National Public Radio, recount a story about Adlai Stevenson, the Illinois Democrat who served as governor and U.S. senator before running as the Democratic nominee for president in 1952 and 1956. At a campaign stop during the 1952 campaign, someone in the crowd yelled, “You’ve got the votes of all thinking people, Adlai,” to which Stevenson is purported to have responded, “That won’t be enough, I need a majority.”
As we enter the political season some sixty years later, perhaps we might hope that our politics could at least aspire to some reflection, some connection to the things we care about, some conversations of substance instead of sound bites. But, alas, thinking remains a minority activity. May the voices of our minority be heard above the din of politics as usual.”
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS
Resources for your reflective practice
Preparing for my Senior Honors Seminar this spring term on income equality, I’m exploring some of the literature that has shaped my understanding of philanthropy (an important theme in the course). Return to Andrew Carnegie’s “The Responsibilities of Wealth” (1889) and then explore Jane Addams’s “A Modern Lear” (1896) and recognize the abiding tension in our society that is at the heart of the philanthropic adventure.
I’m delighting in Marilynne Robinson’s The Givenness of Things (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2015), essays plumbing the depths of the human spirit with her inimitable erudition and wisdom
Light dawns on a weary world
Theologian and hymn writer, Mary Louise Bringle (b. 1953), penned the words to the hymn that was the theme for our annual Advent Vespers services this year. As I noted above, the hymn seems especially fitting for the world today.
Light dawns on a weary world when eyes begin to see all people’s dignity
Light dawns on a weary world the promised day of justice comes
The trees shall clap their hands; the dry lands gush with springs;
The hills and mountains shall break forth with singing!
We shall go out in joy, and be led forth in peace,
As all the world in wonder echoes shalom.
Love grows in a weary world when hungry hearts find bread and children’s dreams are fed.
Love grows in a weary world, the promised feast of plenty comes.
Hope blooms in a weary world when creatures once forlorn, find wilderness reborn.
Hope blooms in a weary world, the promised green of Eden comes.

Fort Myers Miracle 3, Charlotte Stone Crabs 2
FORT MYERS, Fla. - - The rivalry between the Charlotte Stone Crabs and Fort Myers Miracle is often punctuated by late-inning rallies and walk-off wins.
Chalk up one for the Miracle on Monday, who came up with the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning to grab a 3-2 win at Hammond Stadium.
Drew Thompson connected for a long drive off the right field wall against Stone Crabs reliever Josh Satow (1-1) that drove in Chris Cates with the decisive run. It marks the second extra-inning loss for Charlotte this season.
The Miracle have endured a rough start to their 2010 campaign, but have picked up all three of their victories this season at the expense of the Stone Crabs. They now lead the season series 3-1.
A one-out single by Cates set the stage for the Miracle 10th inning. Satow followed that base hit by walking Yangervis Solarte, before giving up the game-winning hit to Thompson.
Pitching continues to be the story in the early going for the Stone Crabs. Charlotte hurlers have now allowed just 17 runs – only 15 of those earned - to opponents over the team’s first nine games
Starter Chris Andujar scattered six hits over six innings of work, retiring 10 men in a row at one point. The righty struck out four men and did not issue a walk.
Miracle starter Kyle Gibson matched Andujar, fanning five men over seven innings and allowing two runs on seven hits. Neither starter would figure in the decision.
The Fort Myers relievers Matt Williams and Blank Martin (1-0) teamed with Gibson to strike out six straight Charlotte hitters, beginning with the final out of the seventh inning and running through the first two outs in the ninth. Miracle relievers did not surrender a run in three inning of work.
Strikeouts were not the only problem for Charlotte. The team left five men on base and struggled with runners in scoring position, collecting just one hit in eight tries in those situations.
Henry Wrigley extended his hitting streak with a sixth inning single, his lone hit of the night. He entered the day tied for third in the FSL in batting average with a .379 mark.
The series continues tomorrow as the Stone Crabs send left-hander Matt Moore (0-1) to the mound against Michael Tarsi (1-1). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Last Saturday, Alison, Christian, Josh, Denise, and Joseph started loading wood into the blue container in earnest. We re-organized the shelving to make room for the extra-long, 25-feet boards, and our core crew made a nice dent in dwindling down a couple of piles. Some of the long, dense, and heavy wood requires four people at a time to carry the behemoth beams.
We are still looking for more weekday or weekend volunteers to load or do a bit of final nail pulling! If you can help, even for an hour, please contact Alison at 932-2328.

This is perhaps the ideal way to scrap forklifts. There might be better ones, but you since the one driving this beforehand ought to place in research and consult with people. The better way should be followed. In case you don’t find it, then you know what to count on!
Therefore, if a truck uses drum brakes or disc brakes, regular check ups and periodic maintenance of forklift brakes will make sure that the truck stops along with your business keeps on going.
This final characteristic is perhaps the most important. Once you buy a forklift from the neighborhood dealer you need to expect continued high-quality customer service. No business will be able to immediately fix everything for you all of the time, but the trader you choose should do everything in their power to assist you. They should have a friendly, helpful staff as well as convenient hours of operation. Assessing a service call, ordering a rental or parts should should be a stream-lined, un-complicated processes. Local dealers will only thrive if their clients do, so taking care of you should be a priority to them.
Brands and Types of Side Loader Forklifts at Amherst
Duty rests on your shoulders, as an employer, for ensuring appropriate training to approved criteria, for many users of office equipment and tools. Do not forget that supervisors also have to be given the essential training.
Forklift technology has improved much during the past few years and maintaining a forklift pays off fairly well nowadays. But, although companies are buying and bringing in operation the forklifts, a lot of them are ignoring the human aspect i.e. the workers operating forklift is not getting properly educated. As the human managing is the last key of suitable forklift use and usage, untrained or half-trained operators are decreasing the output. The firms which control large stocks and fast turnaround, training of the forklift operators is an issue which must be dealt with without any delay.
From start to finish the process of buying, leasing or renting a forklift must be as straightforward as possible. Again, this is why working with a local merchant will help you. Talking directly to a salesman that’s well versed at the equipment he or she represents can make all of the difference in the world. Forklift forms, attachment & tire alternatives, finances, warranties and maintenance should all be covered before you’re asked to make a decision. A fantastic forklift salesman is likely to produce a strong effort to get you the correct equipment in the best bargain possible, and follow up with you after the sale.
Maintenance of Forklift Brakes Prevents Smashups in Amherst NH
There are lots of elements that all forklifts have in common. These forklift components are very important to the functioning of the gear. Forks, brake parts, and transmissions are a few of the elements that are bought most often.
One distinguishing difference between regular forklifts and reach trucks is that reach trucks have the capability to lift pallets at a vertical manner. This is particularly helpful when you’ve got a warehouse that uses high storage racks that might be difficult to reach.
Even though these early forklifts were hard to operate, they quickly proved their value, and major firms grabbed a hold of the idea and worked to make more efficient models. By the 1910s, manufacturing, shipping and machinery companies worked off each other’s thoughts to create a greater lift truck that could finally lift goods more than 5 centimeters off the ground. In addition to this truck came the standardisation of the pallet, that’s the exact same model we use now, allowing goods to be stacked on top of each other firmly. This standardisation allowed machinery companies like Clark and Yale to produce lift trucks (forklifts) that could be used by any business.
If you want to guarantee a smooth flow of business operations at the warehouse and extend the required boost to business productivity, inclusion of a fork truck is quite needed. It’s not merely about the performance level of a forklift capped against the add-ons which should be looked into, but it is crucial to maintain the safety standards also. This is likely to make way for preventing the unfortunate accidents which may occur while the fork truck is in its own mode of functioning at a job site. The forklift truck attachments have been sought after by the business entrepreneurs so that lifting and transporting of the heavy bulk of loads becomes a smooth procedure. If it comes to the safety fork truck products for fall protection, the top traders offer you the lanyards, safety harness, traffic vests, hard hat, etc..

AKIPRESS.COM - Facebook has launched "Facebook News", the latest attempt by the social media giant to support journalism on its site, Sky News reports.
The section will appear alongside the familiar news feed in a special "news tab", dedicated solely to journalism.
After being tested internally with Facebook staff, the tab will be rolled out today to "a subset of people in the US," before becoming more widely available over the next year.
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg first announced the plan in April, saying he wanted the tech giant to support struggling news outlets.
However, the project has already run into controversy, after Mr Zuckerberg confirmed that right-wing website Breitbart would be one of the publishers selected to appear on the news tab.
After Facebook launched its News Feed in 2006, it became very successful with readers, leaving publishers squeezed as advertisers chose to advertise with the social network.

We have finally eaten most of the contents of our freezer and I am back with a monthly menu plan to share! I have really missed menu planning so I am excited to get back into the swing of things. Scroll down for recipe links and details on what I’m cooking this month.
I would like to make a souffle again this month; I am specifically eyeing the Winter Squash Souffle from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. However, most egg nights we will be sticking to our traditional (easy) scrambled eggs and roasted veggies.
- Huli Huli Chicken – I borrowed The Complete Slow Cooker from the library recently and this recipe was one of our favorites. I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for some new slow cooker recipes.
- Whole chicken in the slow cooker, sweet potato vegetable bake – I’m trying to expand my side dish repertoire and this recipe from You Have it Made is first up.
- Pot roast – I usually make this recipe with 2 onions and about a pound of peeled, chopped carrots
- Chicken thighs, Chili-Spiced Sweet Potatoes with Maple Pecans – This sweet potato recipe is also from You Have it Made. I made it for a neighbor recently and now I want to make it for myself. It’s freezer-friendly, but I have not personally tested that out yet.
- White bean and garlic soup
- Chicken noodle soup
- Creamy tomato soup – This recipe was another great find in The Complete Slow Cooker. My kids really enjoy helping me prepare it too.
- French onion soup
- Pasta and meatballs – My mom made us a bunch of meatballs on a recent visit, so we have a glut on meatballs in our freezer right now. If you need an excellent meatball recipe, I recommend checking out this one from Serious Eats (paired with this sauce).
- Lemony broccoli pasta – The last time I made this, my kids gobbled it up with no modifications. Here’s to repeat success!
- Butterflies with chickpeas – This is another recipe from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. It looks simple but delicious.
- Gnocchi with chicken sausage and tomatoes – Truth be told I am not feeling too confident that I will find decent gnocchi to use in this recipe. If I can’t find the good stuff then I’ll probably sub in tortellini.
- Pepperoni pizza quinoa stuffed peppers – I imagine that some people would say “no” to pizza two nights in a row… fortunately I am not one of those people. I haven’t made these for a while, but they have been on my mind and I’m already excited to eat them.
- Veggie Stir-Fry
- Beef tacos with Budget Bytes’s taco seasoning
- Cheesy chicken, broccoli, and rice

What are the advantages and disadvantages of leasing a computer versus purchasing one?
Computer technology is one of the frameworks of modern day society, and every business and household out there takes advantage of using at least one form of computer technology. Nowadays, everyone has their own computer, and many have that kind of technology in the form of a laptop or a smart phone for their convenience.
Computers have come a long way in the last few decades, becoming extremely high speed and effective, and proving to be a serious advantage for just about anyone to have. In fact, many businesses out there depend heavily on having the best computer tech available, but, despite the prices dropping for technology over time, good high speed computers are still fairly costly.
Some businesses just need a computer for their books or for some minor task, but many businesses absolutely depend on their computer equipment and want only the best of the best.
So, when looking at the advantages and disadvantages of leasing a computer versus purchasing a computer, what’s the better option in general for businesses? In what instances is leasing the better option, and in what cases is purchasing the best choice?
Buying your Computer Equipment
The best way to look into purchasing a computer for your business is to think back to a time when you bought your own personal computer. Naturally, the purchase depends on what you needed at the time, but generally people tend to purchase themselves a laptop, usually under a grand and in fairly good condition.
Of course, the equipment was expensive at the time, but you get a very useful tool out of it so the purchase is no issue. However, that laptop can’t and won’t last forever; at some point within the next five years, that computer will either break of become lower quality to the point where it’s a guarantee that you’re going to replace it with a better model.
Again, you’ll probably end up spending a few hundred dollars on the computer, but spending that much money every half a decade really is no issue, especially for such a handy tool. However, switching to your business, imagine your company needs ten or more computers, and they need to be far better than your home machine; the game changes quite a bit.
The purchase becomes more detrimental in the sense that your purchase isn’t permanent and, in a few years, you’re going to pay a much larger sum of money to get the equipment. There’s no easy way to get this money because a loan, the only real alternative if you’re low on funds, is very high risk, especially when you’re dealing with loaning a large sum of money.
It doesn’t matter how low your interest rate is; if you need to loan a lot of money, your interest is going to accumulate much faster, and that’s money that’s tough to pay back, especially for relatively newer businesses.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Leasing a Computer
Many businesses enjoy getting a lease because they don’t have to deal with those repercussions of paying to repair or replace equipment once it loses its quality; plus, the payment setup is much more convenient. With a flat monthly rate, you don’t have to deal with heavy interest rates or large payments, making life much more manageable for you as far as your business’s finances.
Plus, leases offer you advantages in the sense of you being able to get an upgrade on your hardware over time, meaning you can get the best new tech for your company.
Of course, there are both advantages and disadvantages of leasing a computer, with the disadvantages being that a lease is a contract, and contracts can be designed in such a way that they’re more suitable for someone else and not you. In that case, it’s extremely important that you examine the lease as a whole, contract terms and all, to determine whether the lease is good for your business.
As long as the contract period, lease rate, and other caveats are suitable, a lease can easily provide your business with an edge in getting the computer tech it needs. To learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of leasing a computer, click here.

Jordan & Christopher | Wedding at Gedney Farm
Jordan & Christopher had their wedding at Gedney Farm, a gorgeous turn-of-the-century estate in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. It was a chilly morning, but the sun came out just in time for the ceremony and it turned into a perfect autumn day!
Jordan’s parents brought their dog, Sasha, and we made some portraits with her in the beginning of the day. It was so much fun!
This was my first time working with Katie O’ Events. They are so good at what they do – the day ran effortlessly and really flowed for everyone. It was great to collaborate with Katie and her team!
Crocus Hale designed the floral arrangements for Jordan & Christopher’s wedding. We’ve worked with them so many times over the years, but every time we do, I’m surprised and delighted with their designs.
Congratulations, Jordan & Christopher!

I hope my girls learn by osmosis.
When they get in my car, if I turn my radio down a little – to say, 12 – I can keep NPR on and they won’t even notice. (If the Moth Radio Hour is on, I can turn it up to 15 or 18 even.) Every once in a while a word will pop out from the broadcast, and it’ll even spark a little conversation.
Race relations. Politics. Shit about the rain forest.
And even though the kids sometimes get it wrong.
(“It’s free speech – it’s in the bible.” one kid muttered. “Orlando is a country,” said another. Or was it the same one? She might have also said “chiro means earth.” But an inquisitive mind doesn’t have to always get it right.)
Such exposure leads to conversation, or even questions. The kind of questions I pile up and answer on Thursday nights for Friday. Like, these five.
2. Are we friends with Russia?
You tell me. Granted, Ivan Drago was from Sthe Soviet Union but the cold war we kids enjoyed in the 80s is being reborn today.
Whether it’s Russian president Vladimir Putin swiping Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl rings or the U.S. and Russia picking sides in Syria, we always seem to end up on the other side of the fence.
We have a nice little pissing match going on in over Ukraine, too.
No, I’d say we’re not friends with Russia. I wanted to make fun of the Russian soccer team, but they’re ranked 23rd in the world – 10 spots ahead of Merica. Dammit.
2. How do you say ‘turd’ in Spanish?
In Russian, it’s der’mo.
In Spanish – depends on who you ask. My dad used to say mojon, but he was from New Mexico and they do things differently there. Google Translate tells us its zurullo. SpanishDict.com calls a parcel of poop la cagada or la mierda. That last one, I thought, was translated to shit in English.
I also learned that a person who you refer to as a turd, in Spain, would be el gilipollas (or la gilipollas, for a girl.) Who says your questions aren’t enlightening?
3. How old were the guys in The Beatles when they first started?
At age 17, in 1957, John Lennon formed The Quarry Men, a precursor for The Beatles.
He even let little Paul McCartney, age 15, join in. Grammar school friends, John and Paul played a style of music some called rock ‘n’ skiffle, which brought a taste of blues, folk and jazz. George Harrison joined at age 15, and Ringo Starr became the Beatles’ drummer at age 21 in 1962.
They had several different names before they became The Beatles, including Johnny and the Moondogs, The Sliver Beatles and the Beatals.
Here’s my favorite Beatles song.
4. Would a tomato explode if you threw it at something?
Before they tossed Octopuses, the thing was tomatoes.
Rotten ones work best. Yes, they explode. Tomato tossing has roots in Shakespeare’s Globe Theater in Elizabethan London. Before tomatoes, folks heaved turnips at Vespasianus Caesar Augustus during the riot of Hadrumetum. (He’d just told the Romans if they liked their health insurance … )
Let’s take a sack of tomatoes out and try it on things.
Don’t tell your mom.
5. How much is cornstarch in the store?
You can get all all-natural stuff, even vegan fare, online for big bucks.
I can get it in Target for $1.39. That’ misleading, however.
Because before I pick up the can of cornstarch, I’ll check out the men’s clearance. I might end up with an ugly shirt or loud shorts. I’ll feel obliged to run past the sporting goods, toy department, and that aisle in the middle of the store that has a little of everything – all in search for clearance stickers.
70% off or more, if I can manage it.
Where do you think you get all these, um, great birthday and Christmas presents? Now, turn up the radio, girls. Did you hear about the kid who was disqualified from a cross country race for what he wrote on his headband?
It was on NPR.

Learn More about the Company
Founder/ Head Brewer
Our Head Brewer and Owner Robert Keifer became Gluten-Free in 2010, and immediately noticed how few gluten free beers the world had to offer, especially in Southern California. He tried “Gluten Reduced” beers, but the issues didn’t go away. After his beers started placing in competitions next to barley-based beers, he thought there should be a local presence for 100% Gluten-Free beer.
Vice President of Sales
Vice President of Sales, Domonic Keifer has been gluten free since 2012. Shortly after her and Robert started home brewing she agreed with Robert about the market needing more than the same three beers she was buying every time – and felt that the time was right for all craft beer lovers to have a seat at the table! With her previous F&B experience, Divine Science was born.

Having read the reviews on Ruby Woo, I thought it would feel too dry on lips. Yet, I absolutely love this lipstick because it wears long on my lips and looks like the right classic red lipstick.
I have got the Ruby Woo lipstick as a present this Christmas, and I absolutely like the way it wears. In summer it feels somewhat dry on my lips, yet I use it over the lip balm and it works just fine.
I like the Ruby Woo lipstick by MAC. It makes my teeth look whiter and lasts throughout the day. I've already used 1 Ruby Woo lipstick, and the second one is about to finish. So I will have to order another one soon, and I do not feel like I want to try out different brands, like L'Oreal or Maybelline, etc. in terms of red lipsticks.

Have you been studying for the grueling CPA Exam, pouring through the exciting topics of amortization of bonds and tax credits while burning the midnight oil? Has studying for this exam become your sole purpose for breathing lately? Or are you finishing up college, considering a career as a Certified Public Accountant and heard all the scary boogeyman stories about the CPA Exam? Have you wondered just who is behind this crazy test? Who was it that put the fear right into your bloodstream when you think of this test? Who’s behind the curtain??
Here’s the answer: The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).
Who is the AICPA?
And now that we’ve opened Pandora’s Box…who is/are The American Institute of CPAs? Well, let’s get to them in a second. Let’s first make sure we all have a grasp on the CPA Exam and what it’s for.
In full, the exam is called The Uniform CPA Examination and it protects the public interest by helping to ensure that only qualified individuals become licensed as U.S. Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). It is the only licensed qualification in the world of accounting and any who seek to become a CPA must take the exam.
Alright, so it’s here to protect everyone and ensure everyone who becomes a CPA is legit and trustworthy in the capacity of a public accountant. Nobody’s getting ripped off by a CPA.
Now on to the organization that writes this extremely hard yet very important and beneficial to the public exam, the AICPA.
Again, Who is the AICPA?
The AICPA was founded in 1887. So they’ve got some pretty decent street cred. According to them, they’re here to represent both the CPA profession and the public interest. They advocate before legislative bodies, public interest groups, and other professional organizations; they develop the standards for audits of private companies; they help guide their members towards accomplishing their educational goals; they police the profession’s technical and ethical standards; and they develop, write, and grade the Uniform CPA Examination.
[bctt tweet=”Since the AICPA represents the public interest, they make it really hard to gain entrance to the kingdom” via=”no”]
The AICPA is basically the grand champion of all CPAs and their leader. They hold the keys to the kingdom and make sure that everyone plays nice while in the kingdom. Since they also represent the public interest, they make it really hard to gain entrance to the kingdom. But not in a manner that is unfair. The test is not designed to trick you by any means, it’s just to ensure that your dedication and resolve are absolute. This is how they maintain their authority in the sphere in the public’s eye. It’s how they make sure the public trust CPAs.
I Heard the Test is Changed…
So the test is structured in a way that will test not only your knowledge, but also your ability to evaluate and apply that knowledge in a scrupulously ethical, professional, and expert manner. And as of 2017, the changes in the CPA Exam have shifted even more towards higher level thinking instead of memorization of facts and processes.
They’ve altered the test to keep up with the ever-changing times. As the world becomes more and more automated, CPAs won’t be bogged down by the more menial and mundane tasks of their forebearers. Robots will do all the heavy lifting, and while we all try to avoid a Skynet scenario, we’ll be responsible more for managing, evaluating, and guiding our robotic servants and less needed for crunching numbers and knowing detailed specifics on tax law. The future is here and it’s going to be great! Hopefully…
So the test went through a major overhaul through the loving hands of the many CPAs of the AICPA. They updated the format, increased the length of time for two of the sections, added elements to one that’s been long missing, and placed more importance on those higher order skills. And they’ve made the test more nimble and able to evolve faster than ever before. Instead of sweeping changes made with many years in between, the exam will incrementally change every year to allow for a more fluid evolution that won’t be so jarring for those of you who have to adapt and change to the demands of the overlords. It’s a good thing, we swear.
Let Me In!
And when you finally pass the CPA Exam, you’ll be admitted into this kingdom of shining knights of the world of accounting. Well, after you receive your license that is, because you’ll need to that after you pass the exam. But let’s go over that in another post. No need to fret about that now. You’ll be glad to know that it’s not nearly the task as is signing up for, taking, and passing the exam.

Looking back it seems like we have packed an awful lot of trips into 2016 and done quite a bit of tinkering to make the caravan more personal to us.
We upgraded our Orion 400-2 for a Bailey Pursuit 560-5 and with the arrival of the Pursuit in November, 2015 the blog was born. We started it for our own personal use, a way of writing a diary as such, of our trips. Something our family could read, maybe even one day we’d have grand children that might read it. In a way it took off slightly better than we could have hoped for. We entered 2016 with just 700 views. Not bad really for 3 blogs in 2 months.
We turned our end dinette into a fixed bed, removing the bunk bed and the seating area. We added extra internal and external plug sockets. An additional door lock was added. LED strip lights above the front locker made it a bit more homely and graphics on the outside of the caravan means you’ll be able to spot us whilst we are out and about on our travels. And finally I added bunting and twinkly lights above the bed, The Boss wasn’t too keen but it does look pretty.
We are out all year round and going into 2016 with our new Bailey Pursuit 560-5 just added to the excitement of the New Year. 2016 took us to loads of new sites and back to a few old faithful sites too. We met up with loads of friends and family and even met some new friends that we will continue to keep in touch with whilst out and about. We took the mother in law away with us for a few days and also had lovely family time when we took our grown up daughters away.
We started to interact with people across social media who also enjoyed time out in their caravans, some bloggers and vloggers too. We met up with Pat and Brian Foster a couple of times over the year. One of our local Caravan Club sites, Rookesbury Park introduced us to Paul, a fellow caravanner from Twitter.
Burrs Country Park took us back home for 10 days where we had an amazing time catching up with friends and family that we haven’t seen properly for 10 years. It also gave us the chance to do touristy things, like going on the East Lancs Steam Line, that if we’d still lived up there we probably wouldn’t have done.
The Caravan and Motorhome show at the NEC, we got to meet more of our fellow, bloggers and vloggers. Andrew Ditton was filming his way around the exhibition centre when we met him and I found myself giggling through a short but sweet interview. Next, was Dan and Angela Trudgian who have a You Tube channel which too has gone bonkers over the last year. These two, I am sure we will be friends with for a very long time. We met up with them again later in the year at Cirencester Caravan Club Site, where I discovered I do still like gin and my fear of dogs isn’t quite as bad as I thought, although Chops isn’t really a dog, more of a big softy.
Throughout the year there have only been two sites that I wouldn’t go back to. To find out which they are you’ll have to use a process of elimination and read the year’s blogs, cos I’m not telling!
One particular site stood out amongst all of them. The Grange In Norfolk, will definitely be revisited by us in the future and we’ve been lucky enough to be able to stay in touch with the owners.
With 2941 miles travelled over 2016, to 20 sites, 73 nights and a total of £1264.96 in site fees I think we’ve had quite a year.
The blog? Well we entered 2016 with 700 views and will depart the year with over 26,000 views across 45 blogs written. So, if you have stumbled across us and had a read, thank you and feel free to comment, we are still novices you know!
We go into 2017 freshly into our 50’s and have a 50 day tour planned to celebrate, so feel free to keep tabs on us as we continue with this caravan adventure.

With a running time of almost 3 hours (2 Hours 40 Minutes) Infinity War is the longest movie in the MCU and I didn’t feel like it dragged at any point. I was hooked from the very first scene and onto the last. I was shook after watching it and just devastated.
Josh Brolin kills it as Thanos which I thoroughly believe is the best villain in the MCU right now. He’s a compelling character despite being seen as a monster. He had lots of depth to his character. Throughout the film, when Thanos is on screen, I felt his presence and when he fought our heroes, I was legitimately afraid. This was essentially a “Thanos” film more so than the Avengers. All the performances were great overall, with the standouts in my opinion being Thanos, Spiderman, Wanda, and Gamora. The comedy was fantastic too. All the jokes land especially from the GOTG squad. The action sequences are phenomenal. Seeing the combination of all the heroes you love fight together with all the different combinations of unique fighting skills/powers they each have is just such a joy and so much fun to watch. Visuals were stellar.
In terms of the negatives, some characters won’t have much screen time in comparison to others but that’s a given with how many characters there are in the movie. There’s also so much that happens in this movie that there really isn’t any breathing room. This movie goes 1000000000 m/ph. Trust me. Use the washroom beforehand.
Final thoughts – Infinity War is truly a spectacle that deserves to be seen on the big screen multiple times and its insanely entertaining/rewarding. I can’t stop thinking about it and I can’t wait to see it again…and again…and again…….
Rating – ★★★★
Here’s my list short & sweet……
Honorable Mentions: Dunkirk, Split, Coco, Okja, Logan, The Florida Project, Wonder Woman, Logan, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, mother!, The Big Sick, Thelma, & The Disaster Artist
Films I haven’t seen yet at the creation of this list: Call Me by Your Name, The Post, Phantom Thread and a few others
#10) Get Out – Great Original Thriller/Horror from first time director Jordan Peele.
#9) Wind River – Riveting murder mystery. Fantastic debut from the very talented Taylor Sheridan. If you enjoy films like Sicario or Hell or High Water, highly recommend.
#8) Molly’s Game – AARON SORKIN. JESSICA CHASTAIN. AARON SORKIN.
#7) Lady Bird – Thoroughly well done coming of age movie from the lovely Greta Gerwig. Saoirse Ronan gives one of the best performances of her career. Review
#6) Good Time – Fucking awesome.
#5) Blade Runner 2049 – Cinematography is eyegasmic. Just beautiful in every single way from the acting, story, direction…..Villeneuve killed it and he’s on a roll……
#4) The Killing of a Sacred Deer – Great horror. Very well shot. Fantastic acting/score. If you’re a fan of a Lanthimos, def a must watch or if you love horror films. Review
#3) Columbus – Beautiful. Wonderful score. Quiet yet moving.
#2) Trainspotting 2 – A wonderful sequel. Really entertaining. Felt lots of emotions.
#1) The Shape of Water – A beautiful romantic fairy tale. Sally Hawkins deserves the Oscar for best actress. Great performances all around from the whole cast. Beautiful score from Alexandre Desplat. Del Toro nails it. Review
The Last Jedi has many great moments and some of the best moments in Star Wars history. With that being said, it has many flaws and it suffers from them. The story is uneven. Story lines needed more time to breathe while others cut down. The humor, while at times worked some of it was just too out of place and it took away from the tension/immersion of the scene. There are also a few pacing/tone issues throughout.It might seem that I’m bashing/hating The Last Jedi, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a wonderful time. We again get wonderful performances from the cast, old and new. The film is visually stunning and the action scenes are very well choreographed and felt compelling. Rey, Poe, Luke and Kylo had tremendous growth and had the best performances in the movie. In terms of the story, I’m conflicted as I feel some stories were fleshed out more so than others. The more and more I think about The Last Jedi, the more I feel like it’s not even a Star Wars movie, but a Rian Johnson Star Wars movie. All in all, despite the flaws, it’s a great ride and one I’ll watch again and again.
Rating – ★★★½

"This was such a sweet story and I was completely invested from the start." — Carol, Goodreads Reviewer
Fiancé for the Night
She needs a fiancé—for only one night.
Cassandra Daniels’ parents want to meet her fiancé. They’ve driven hours to have dinner with the man who stole their daughter’s heart. The only problem—he doesn’t exist. She made him up because her mom and dad are concerned about her. Cassandra could tell the truth, but she’s tired of always disappointing her family. Now, she must find a handsome, respectable-looking guy to be her fake fiancé.
Troy McKnight can’t believe a gorgeous blonde wants to pretend to be engaged for the night. Why him? She’s his total opposite—impulsive, adventurous, and a risk-taker. He should say no. He’s not the type to go along with crazy schemes and drama, yet he can’t deny her pull. Giving into his attraction, he agrees to be her fiancé. What’s the worst thing that can happen?
Turns out Cassandra’s father is a powerful venture capitalist who could make or break Troy's career, so they continue the ruse. But as their fake engagement spirals, their attempts to stop the madness fail. Troy wants to spend more time with Cassandra, but she fears losing her heart…to him. The charade must end, even if she wishes her fiancé for the night could be her perfect husband for life.
Read an Excerpt
“Would you be my fiancé?”
Fiancé? Troy McKnight must have misheard the blonde standing next to him due to the noise in the jam-packed San Francisco brewery. She was attractive with wide blue eyes, freckles across her nose, a heart-shaped face, and no makeup, but she wasn’t his type. With multiple chains and pendants hanging around her neck, dangling silver earrings, and a flowery dress, she looked out of place in the popular, after-work hangout, which was filled with the suit-and-tie crowd from nearby financial offices. He preferred women who dressed professionally. She was too bohemian looking.
He stared over the rim of his pint. “Excuse me, but what did you say?”
Releasing a sigh, she brushed her wavy blond hair behind her shoulders.
“Would you be my fiancé?” she repeated. “Just for tonight.”
Troy had heard her correctly the first time. He half-laughed. Her matter-of-fact tone made her proposition sound almost logical, and he knew it wasn’t the beer causing that. He’d only had one—the half-filled cold glass he held in his hand.
He took another swig from his lager. The cool liquid ran down his throat. After a rough day at the office, all he wanted was a drink followed by another quiet evening at home, nothing else.
Especially not this woman.
She hadn’t introduced herself. She could be a scam artist—a she-devil in disguise—and he the target. Even without lipstick, her full lips were luscious enough to seduce unknowing prey.
Troy set his glass on the bar. “Why do you need a fiancé tonight?”
“It’s a long story.”
Her sunshine-and-sunflower scent cut through the smell of beer hanging in the air. Okay, that was nice. “I’m not going anywhere.”
She reached for his hand, pushed back the arm of his suit, and read the time on his watch—a present from his parents when he graduated business school. “Yes, I knew it.”
“You’re wearing a watch.”
He eyed her warily. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“That I asked the right person.”
“You’re being evasive.”
“I don’t have time to explain. Are you coming with me?”
“You’re asking for a lot without providing any explanation.”
She rolled her eyes. “I got myself into a jam with my family. It’s only one dinner. My father will pay, so the only thing tonight will cost you is time. Any other questions?”
Troy hesitated, unsure if he bought her explanation. “Nothing personal, but you don’t look like the kind of woman who hangs out here.”
“I’m not, but my parents would approve of you and the men who frequent an establishment like this.”
That sounded plausible.
“Look, will you be my fiancé or not?” The edges of her mouth turned up slightly. “I’m sorry to be impatient, but if you say no, I have to find someone else.” She glanced around the bar as if she were scanning the area for her next target.
In the crowded brewpub, she could easily find someone else. Men with rolled-up sleeves and loosened ties stood at nearby tables, relaxing after long hours at the office.
Troy didn’t know why he was considering posing as her fiancé. The woman had appeared out of nowhere, yet he couldn’t deny his curiosity about her and her strange proposition. The concern and sense of urgency in her eyes rang true, but he never took risks. Spontaneity wasn’t part of his plan—a life plan to ensure he achieved all he wanted and would never have to return to his family’s farm in that middle-of-nowhere town in Missouri.
Staring at him, she waited for his answer by tapping her unpainted fingernails against the bar.
If he said no, she seemed to have no qualms about asking another man to be her fiancé for the night. He doubted she was a con artist. She looked too much like an innocent love child from the sixties with a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. In a meat market like this, a veritable smorgasbord of male testosterone, she could end up with anyone.
At least she would be safe with him.
“This is important to you, isn’t it?” he asked.
As she tilted her chin, her earrings chimed. “Yes.”
A free dinner with an attractive woman. It almost sounded too easy. Troy thought of Jessica White, who worked in the office next to his. Now she was his type, but he’d seen Jessica’s fiancé pick her up this afternoon.
For three years, Troy had wanted to ask her out, but he’d been too busy working to get around to it. Now she was engaged to someone else, and he was sitting in a bar with a total stranger. Maybe he needed a little adventure in his life.
He took another sip of his lager. “Okay, I’ll be your fiancé.”
The woman threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek. “Oh, thank you.”
Her impulsiveness gave him a small thrill. The envious glances of other men in the bar made Troy sit straighter. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
Grabbing his arm, she pulled him off his barstool. “Come on. We’re going to be late.”
Whoa! That was fast. Maybe an adventure wasn’t such a good idea. “I need to pay for my beer.”
Before Troy could reach his wallet, she opened her purse, a multicolored cloth pouch with drawstrings, and pulled out a ten-dollar bill. “Will this cover it?”
“Yes.” Call him old-fashioned, but he wasn’t used to a woman paying.
She tossed the money on the bar. “Is there anything else?”
He wanted to say yes. Stop. “No.”
“Let’s go then.” She led him out of the double glass doors.
A cool breeze blew off the San Francisco Bay. Cars sped by on the Embarcadero. To his right, the lights on the double-decker Bay Bridge twinkled in the evening sky. The pleasant October weather was a refreshing change from a day spent in a skyscraper.
“Do you have a car?” she asked.
“Not with me.”
She rubbed her temples. “We’ll take a taxi. That will be faster than calling for a ride.”
“Where are we—”
“I’ll explain everything once we’re on our way.”
She flagged a yellow cab and muttered the name of a trendy restaurant known for creating mouthwatering dishes and attracting a crowd of see-and-be-seen patrons.
He would be getting a good dinner tonight. Troy followed her into the cab.
As they pulled away from the curb, she laughed incredulously. “I’m going to pull this off.”
He watched her for a moment. Her unrestrained joy and boundless energy captivated him. He’d never met anyone like her.
She wet her lower lip. “I don’t know your name.”
“Troy McKnight.” She repeated his name twice. “I like it. Well, Troy, I hope you don’t mind me calling you that. After all, we are engaged.”
The cab driver coughed, but Troy ignored him. “Would you mind telling me your name?”
Such a serious and formal name for such a lighthearted person. The name Cassie fit her breezy personality better. “Cassandra what?”
“Oh, sorry. Daniels, Cassandra Daniels.” She took a deep breath. “I can’t believe I found you, and you said yes.”
“Why do you need a fiancé?”
Her honey-gold eyebrows pulled together.
He couldn’t let this drop. “I need to know what’s going on. Otherwise…”
“You’re right.” She dragged her teeth over her lower lip. “Okay, here’s what happened. We met a few weeks ago, fell madly in love, and got engaged. My parents decided they had to meet the man who swept me off my feet, so they called this morning and told me they were driving up from Carmel to have dinner with us.”
“Are your parents retired?”
“My mother thinks so, and my father should be, but he does some business on the side because he claims he’s not ready for retirement. They split their time between Carmel and Palo Alto.”
She had to come from money. Both towns were expensive places to live. “What happened to the real fiancé?”
“What real fiancé?”
“I assume you told your family about a real engagement.”
“No,” Cassandra—no, he liked Cassie better—said. “I made it up.”
“There isn’t a real fiancé. If there were, I wouldn’t need your help tonight.”
Who was this woman? She wasn’t a compulsive liar, was she? “You told your family you were engaged when you weren’t?”
She nodded as if her actions were logical.
Cassie didn’t look delusional, but this was insane.
“Why?” he asked.
“It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Sometimes, I’m, uh, impulsive.” She smiled mischievously, almost as if sharing a childhood secret.
The woman had to be crazy, but what did it say about him since he agreed to participate in her lie?
“I want to thank you.” Her eyes shone with gratitude. “I could tell you were a nice guy. You have a wonderful smile.”
When had he been smiling tonight? He’d been drinking his beer in solitude to relax before heading home to his studio apartment to do more work. Maybe tomorrow, he could look back on tonight and laugh.
A smile lit up her beautiful face. “I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t said yes.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
The way she turned toward him tightened the bodice of her dress and accentuated her full breasts.
This fiancé gig was looking better and better. He’d been working hard, trying to close the Micro-Psi deal, and get offered a partnership with the venture capital firm where he worked. But life consisted of more than reading balance sheets and making deals. He was no different from any other red-blooded male. He needed rest, relaxation, and fun too.
“No, it is a big deal.” She squeezed his hand. “You’re my McKnight in shining armor.”
“At your service, milady. We McKnights aim to please.” He wasn’t sure if the full moon or her perfume were getting to him, but he found Cassie’s playful spirit contagious.
When was the last time he’d had fun? Troy couldn’t remember. His shoulders tightened.
“By the way, is there anything else I should know about tonight?” he asked.
“You should know a little about me.” She bit her lower lip. “Let’s see. My favorite color is purple. I love flowers and hot fudge sundaes. I’m not a vegetarian. I love a good hamburger every now and then. Cooked medium. I think people who won’t eat veal but eat chicken are hypocrites. I love reading books. I like eight-hundred-thread-count sheets—any higher number than that isn’t better, just pretentious. Oh, and I sleep in the nude.”
Stunned, Troy stared at her. She’d spoken so fast. Hot fudge sundaes and sleeping in the nude. His temperature rose at the images filling his mind. He crossed his legs.
“What about you?” she asked.
He couldn’t think straight. He needed to cool down. “Uh, I like ice cream.”
“Chocolate’s my favorite. What else?”
Troy stared into her eyes and found himself transfixed. It was as if he were being hypnotized.
She smiled at him as if he were a lost puppy. “Any sports?”
“I like football.”
“What’s your favorite color?”
Her eyes were the color of a cloudless summer sky. “Blue.”
She patted his hand. “Don’t worry. We can make it up as we go along.”
What was wrong with him? He felt out of sync. Almost dizzy. Maybe he needed something to eat.
The cab slowed as it approached the restaurant. Cassie handed the driver a twenty-dollar bill and slid out of the cab. “Are you ready?”
Not at all. Troy cleared his throat. “Sure.”
Cassie brushed a lock of hair from his forehead and straightened his tie. She took his hand in hers. “Don’t forget—we’re madly in love.”
Her small hand fit snugly in his. Madly in love? Maybe they were just mad.

The two-building complex will house Pfizer’s Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Endocrine Diseases (CVMED) and Neuroscience research units. It will be situated within a couple of blocks of several MIT biomedical centers that conduct research related to Pfizer’s areas of drug development.
In remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony, MIT President Susan Hockfield said the complex would “magnify the creative intensity and collaborative spirit” that marks biotechnology research in the MIT area.
The prospect of Pfizer and MIT scientists collaborating on research projects, Hockfield added, is an extension of MIT founder William Barton Rogers’ vision of basic research being pursued both for its own sake and for the sake of developing useful technologies.
“Rogers championed the most fundamental science and the most practical applications, but most importantly, the fruitful interaction between those — and in doing so, he created the MIT that’s become a kind of innovation machine,” Hockfield said. The extension of MIT’s working relationship with Pfizer, she added, would reinforce the strength of Cambridge’s biotechnology research cluster, which “directly supports our mission of advancing knowledge and educating students in service to the nation and the world.”
In a short speech at the ceremony, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick noted the social significance of innovation, particularly in the life sciences. A hallmark of the state, Patrick said, is that “we are about inventing and shaping our own future. Not leaving entirely to chance what we want our outcomes to be. Not waiting for better times but shaping our own tomorrows.”
Collaboration ‘the key’ for unlocking creativity
The complex, at 610 Main Street, will feature 500,000 square feet of research space; Pfizer expects to move in near the end of 2013. The company has leased more than 180,000 square feet, which will house about 400 new biomedical research jobs, some of which will be filled by Pfizer scientists moving to the area, but many of which will be open for newly hired biologists, chemists and other researchers.
MIT research facilities near the site include the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University, and the MIT-affiliated Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.
The site will also contain 10,000 square feet of retail space on Main Street and an underground parking garage.
At Tuesday’s event, Pfizer executives spoke about the kinds of research advances they hope to make in multiple areas of research and drug development. Those include brain research for drugs that could help slow or ward off Alzheimer’s; new medicines to ease the symptoms of diabetes and eventually prevent it from occurring; and improvements in one of Pfizer’s core areas, drugs intended to reduce cardiovascular risks.
“To be situated here in Kendall Square allows Pfizer to go and contribute to breakthroughs in life science and technology,” said Mikael Dolsten, president of Pfizer Worldwide Research and Development, in remarks delivered at the ceremony. The “innovation culture” of the area, he added, “is the key that can unlock the creativity of our scientists.”
Scientist’s world ‘shrinking’ due to Alzheimer’s
Among the speakers at the event was Allen Krieger ’62, PhD ‘67, an astrophysicist and engineer, now retired, who has Alzheimer’s and spends time working as an advocate of those suffering from the disease.
Krieger’s mother and two other relatives have had Alzheimer’s as well, but Krieger himself did not necessarily think he would develop the disease until he started showing symptoms of forgetfulness.
“A few years ago, I started to lose my car,” Krieger said. After eventually receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, he was “appalled but relieved” about at least knowing the source of his cognitive troubles.
Still, Krieger said, he has found it difficult to grapple with the increasing loss of memory and sense of confusion he faces in everyday life.
“I always have the feeling that I’ve forgotten something important, but I can’t reconstruct my train of thought in order to know what it might be,” he said. Having previously traveled the world for both work and pleasure, Krieger noted, in recent years he has not ventured further than Springfield, Mass., where he visits his grandchildren, because he no longer feels comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.
“My world is shrinking,” Krieger said, before adding a message for future Alzheimer’s researchers at the site: “Welcome, and good luck.”
At the end of the event, Hockfield, Patrick, Krieger, MIT Chancellor Eric Grimson and several Pfizer executives, among others, picked up shovels and dug into a pile of dirt arranged for the ceremonial event. Some construction work has already begun on the site.

The Legal Advisors from the Department of Trade and Industry and the State Law Advisors tabled the changes to the Standards Bill. The size of the Board was now between seven and nine members. A schedule of repealed and altered legislation was now included. Members asked that the order of the wording of Clause 23 be altered to make it quite clear that consultation processes would be followed in the norm setting process. It was clarified that incorporation of national standards could be included “in laws” in matters affecting public safety, health or environmental protection. Members asked specifically that any regulations to be proposed by the Department should come to the Committee before being published, and this was agreed to. Members went through the Bill clause by clause and unanimously agreed to adopt the Bill.
The Committee then proceeded to a clause by clause deliberation of the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications Bill. It was clarified that compulsory specifications flowed from standards. The powers of the Minister to declare standards were dependent on three prior circumstances. The Board would, as with the previous Bill, consisted of between seven and nine members. Members went through the Bill clause by clause and agreed unanimously to adopt the Bill.
The Deputy Minister and the Enterprise Development section of the Department then briefed the Committee on the Integrated Small Enterprise Development Strategy, highlighting the key role players, the focus areas of the strategy, the need to capacitate and train, and the funding that each institution could offer. There was still a gap in funding between R10 000 and R250 000. There was a need to improve sector strategies, increase government investment and strengthen coordination and co-funding across government. The cost of necessary support to small enterprises was high. Most of the lending was using government funding at present and where banks were partnering they were still setting the terms. The Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) would need to train and increase its reach. Seven basic services had been highlighted. The types of assistance and the performance of both SAMAF and Khula were outlined. Access to markets was a key priority. A final list of ten products to be targeted for supply by small enterprises to government was tabled. 70% of government procurement over the next eighteen months should be from small enterprises, thereafter rising to the optimal 85%. Challenges included the need to ensure that there was payment to suppliers within 30 days, and better monitoring systems, including a hotline for complaints, had been set up. A conference in May would highlight and launch the programme, which was to be facilitated by an integrated delivery plan.
Members raised a number of questions, many of which could not be answered at this meeting. Particular focus areas in those questions included the relationships between the institutions, the need to strengthen the position of Khula, the gaps in the funding, the information centres and their work, the need to provide greater assistance to cooperatives, stokvels and women’s initiatives, and to have better information across all the sectors dealing with the same target markets. A number of questions were asked around capacity, budgets, the need for the Department to focus in detail on the small enterprises and cooperatives, rural areas, and delays in payment by government departments. Other issues included the need to include property finance, private partnerships, including the agreement with Old Mutual, and some issues would be put formally to the Minister for further discussion.
Standards Bill: Deliberations
Mr Johan Strydom, Legal Advisor, Department of Trade and Industry, noted that the proposed amendments had been dealt with the previous week. He would focus on changes made as a result of last week's meeting.
Mr Strydom tabled a new document containing the proposed amendments. He would refer only to the clauses that had changed since the previous week. He said that the changes had not been effected in the Bill as yet. The Rules of Parliament required the Department to prepare a document in this form. Only when approved would a new Bill be printed, with a note that it was "as amended by the Portfolio Committee".
Clause 6 dealt with the composition of the board. There had been discussion on the numbers, and the numbers had now been re-stated as a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 9 members.
The second change related to the new Clause 36, dealing with amendments to laws specified in the Schedule. These included changes to the Trade Metrology Act and the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act. There were no substantive amendments,
Clause by clause deliberations
Mr Strydom then took the Committee through the various clauses. Where not otherwise indicated, he merely gave a brief summary of what each of the clauses dealt with.
Clauses 1 to 4
Mr Strydom indicated the main content of these clauses. He pointed out that clauses 3 and 4 provided for the continuation of South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) as a juristic person, and set out the objects.
This dealt with the functions. In line 50 there was amendment of a reference, by substituting (f) with (e)
This provided for the establishment and composition of the Board, to be broadly representative of the population of
Clauses 7 to 13
Mr Strydom summarised the content of these clauses.
Clauses 14 and 15
Mr Strydom pointed out that this clause dealt with the forum, which had been discussed during the public hearings. The forum could be constituted to provide advice to the Board. Clause 15 was similar, although it dealt with a government consultative forum.
Clauses 16 to 19
Mr Strydom again summarised the content. He pointed out that Clause 19 allowed for appointment of consultants where there was not sufficient experience or expertise in SABS.
Clause 20 and 21
Mr Strydom pointed out that these were delegation clauses typical of those found in other legislation.
Mr Strydom indicated that there was an amendment in this clause dealing with the end of the financial year of SABS. The financial year was simply to continue, no matter when the Act was passed, to avoid the situation where there might have to be two financial year ends in a calendar year.
Clauses 23 and 24
These were the essence of the Bill, and there were extensive amendments in respect of both.
Mr Strydom said that Clause 23 should have the heading "National Norm for the setting and amending of South African National Standards”. He reminded the Committee that this heading was to make clear that there should be a single national norm. All standards would be based on the premise of that single national norm. There was a clear distinction now between Clauses 23, dealing with development and maintenance of the national norm, and Clause 24, dealing with standards based on that norm.
Prof B Turok (ANC) asked how would SABS develop the norm. He understood the difference between the norm and standard. He asked if only the standard setting process would involve consultation.
Ms Elsabe Steyn, Director, Department of Trade and Industry, noted that the norm would follow the same process and it would be a consultative process.
Prof Turok thought that the opening wording of the clauses should be the same. The current wording suggested that SABS would set the norm without consultation, but that the standard would be set with consultation.
Mr Strydom pointed out that Clause 23(1) stated that it was the prerogative of SABS to develop and maintain the single national norm. However sub clause 23(2)(a) set out that the norm must detail a process. The need to take into account the interests of all parties was mentioned in (2)(a)(ii) and (2)(a)(iv) required a national consensus-building process.
Prof Turok suggested that the consultation should appear at the beginning of the clause, suggesting that the wording was the wrong way round.
Mr Strydom suggested that perhaps, at the end of sub clause 23(1), there could be wording to make it clear that the process of consultation must take place
Prof Turok suggested that perhaps the wording now contained in sub-clause (iv) should appear higher
Dr Tshenge Demana, Chief Director, Department of Trade and Industry, agreed that wording would be inserted in 23(1) and that the Department would attend to this.
Mr Strydom summarised that this dealt with appointment of a standards development organisation
This provided for copyright in standards documents to vest with SABS. The Copyright Act would apply in respect of those standards in favour of SABS. There had been a material amendment, as contained in 26(3), that a person could make a copy of the document for “his or her own personal use”. It was difficult to formulate precise wording to cover all situations, and there might still be some problems - for instance at academic institutions.
This set out limitations on certain claims. If a person had manufactured something, stating that it was done in terms of a standard when it had not been done, that would be a false claim.
New Clause 28
Mr Strydom indicated that a new clause would be inserted, dealing with incorporation of national standards in laws, in matters that might affect public safety, health or environmental protection.
Prof Turok asked if this was to be incorporated in regulations or in an Act, and if Parliament would be seeing the regulations.
Mr Strydom indicated that the current wording was not restricted to regulations as the wording referred to "any law". This was wide enough to include primary or subordinate legislation.
Prof Turok said that this was raising the age-old argument about whether parliament should be passing regulations. Oversight by this Committee did not extend to regulations.
The Chairperson did not agree completely with that statement. The impact of any Department’s regulations was subject to oversight, and the Committee would be able to call upon the department or state law advisors to explain them.
Mr Mongamezi Kweta, State Law Advisor, Office of the Chief State Law Advisor, agreed that this was an empowering clause. Subsection (2) referred back to subsection (1), so the same interpretation would be given to "incorporated" in subsection (2) as in subsection (1). This would mean incorporated in any law.
Mr S Rasmeni (ANC) proposed that the clause be left as it was. The oversight role of the Committee would allow this Committee to ask the Department to appear whenever it was intending to introduce regulations, and he thought this would be a sufficient safeguard.
The Chairperson agreed, and reminded Members that in relation to other legislation the Committee had made a specific request that regulations must be brought to this Committee before published. The Department had acceded to these requests. If there were areas of concern, the Committee could raise the matter.
Old Clauses 28 and 29
Mr Strydom pointed out that although he would refer to the following clauses as numbered in the Bill they would need to be renumbered in the new version
Ms M Ntuli (ANC) asked what this clause meant.
Mr Strydom responded that this was intended to cover the situation where an employee, in the performance of his or her work, and acting in good faith, made a mistake. Any person who was aggrieved by a mistake would normally be able to institute legal proceedings. This clause said that, provided there was good faith, and no intent to cause harm, the employee would not be liable for damages.
Ms Ntuli asked what would happen if a mistake caused death or severe injury. She wondered whether SABS itself should not be held liable, so that people were not left without a remedy.
The Chairperson explained that if a person acted negligently, then the individual or organisation could be held liable. He explained that this was a broad principle, and that the standard of a reasonable person would apply.
Mr Strydom noted that there was an amendment that had inserted all the relevant references. The clause dealt with offences and penalties and hopefully everything was now covered.
Clauses 32, 33 and 34
Mr Strydom summarised the content of these clauses.
Mr Rasmeni asked whether the new Bill, once passed, would become an Act of 2007 or 2008.
Mr Strydom indicated that a number would be assigned to the Bill, once passed, and the year 2008 would apply. This would be reflected in the Short Title clause.
National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications Bill: Department briefing and clause by clause deliberations
Mr Strydom said that this Bill also needed to be read with the proposed amendments, as set out on a separate sheet. He reminded members that Compulsory Specifications flowed from standards. Save for one exception, there would be no compulsory specifications without a standard already being in place.
Mr Strydom highlighted the definition of a compulsory specification.
Mr Strydom indicated that this set out the purpose of the Act, to provide the framework for administration and maintenance of compulsory specifications.
Prof Turok wondered if this clause was not too narrow. It was limited to health, public safety and the environment. He could see that there might be other circumstances to be covered.
Mr Strydom noted that this Bill was intended only to apply to those standards that were to be made compulsory specifications because they related to these vital aspects.
Clause 3 and 4
These set out the establishment of the National Regulator. Fairly extensive powers were awarded, but it also included the standard type of powers as set out in the Standards Clause.
Clause 5(1)(a) set out the most important objects: to make recommendations to the Minister on compulsory specifications.
Mr Strydom said that the the same minimum (7) and maximum (9) numbers of members as reflected in the Standards Bill would apply to this Board.
Clauses 7 to 12
These clauses were the same as appeared in the Standards Bill
Mr Strydom explained that this clause contained the main essence of the Bill. It set out how a compulsory specification would be reached. There were many national standards, relating to a host of different circumstances. The majority of these standards were not considered to be of such a nature that they should become compulsory specifications. However, those relating to the important areas of health, safety or the environment could be.
Compulsory specifications would be made by the Minister. There was not an unfettered discretion. The Minister could only make a compulsory specification on the recommendation of the Board. Compulsory specifications could only be made in the areas of public safety, health or the environment. They could be made by way of notice in the Gazette. However, there had to be consultation with stakeholders, and consensus building, as set out in the sub-clauses
There was a proposed change to 13(1)(c), which would now read "if a SANS or a provision of such a standard is not available in terms of paragraph (a) or (b).” Therefore this would limit the Minister's declaration to a case where no standard was available.
Clauses 14 to 19
Mr Strydom summarised the content and meaning of these clauses.
Mr Strydom pointed to the provision relating to self-incriminatory evidence or answers given to inspectors. Such answers would not be admissible in a court, unless they fell within the ambit of certain actions. This had been discussed the previous week.
Clauses 21 to 29
These were similar to clauses appearing in the Standards Bill.
Mr Strydom indicated that nobody could be presumed to have committed an offence. This clause however stated that documentary proof around the name of a person importing a product could be presumed sufficient proof of ownership or importing, unless the person could satisfy the court otherwise; it was a rebuttable presumption.
Clauses 31 to 33
These were similar to clauses in the Standards Bill.
Clauses 34 to 36
Mr Strydom summarised the content of these clauses.
Short title and commencement
Mr Strydom noted that the Bill, once passed, would be an Act of 2008.
The Chairperson read out the Motion of Desirability for the Standards Bill. This was proposed and seconded
He then read out the Motion of Desirability for the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications Bill. This was proposed and seconded.
The Members agreed unanimously to adopt both Bills, with amendments.
Integrated Small Enterprise Development Strategy: Implementation Update by Department of Trade and Industry (dti)
The Chairperson welcomed Deputy Minister Elizabeth Thabethe, to the meeting
Ms Hlonela Lupuwana, Chief Operations Officer, Enterprise Development, dti, noted that during 2007 the Department had made presentations to this Committee on its proposals for an Integrated Small Enterprise Development Strategy (ISEDS) and had also received Cabinet approval. Priority areas set by Cabinet included capacity building of the South African Microfinance Apex Fund (SAMAF) and financial intermediaries level. The financing gap between R10 000 and R250 000 must be addressed, and Khula needed to come up with implementation plans. Khula and SAMAF would need to upscale support and capacity building. There must be improvement of sector strategies, increase of government investment, and strengthening of coordination and co-funding across government. An annual reporting system on progress in implementation must be made.
Ms Mandisa Manjezi, Chief Director, Enterprise Development, Department of Trade and Industry, noted that the bulk of the work and resources would lie in development support. It was necessary to look at all market forces. Annual reviews were done on the state of small enterprises. Small enterprises required sophisticated and technical support, including mentorship and incubation, and the cost of delivering this support was high. Banks claimed that they were lending, but the reality was that it was mostly government money being used. Banks would require guarantee mechanisms or owner contribution. Their lending decisions were not prioritising the same areas as government.
Ms Manjezi said that non financial support services were also offered, but perhaps there was not sufficient investment in these. The Department had a strategy to ensure a comprehensive infrastructure roll out plan. By the end of the 2007 financial year, there had still not been sufficient coverage. There were fluctuations in the provinces, and Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) would have to play a role in training and development, as there was still not adequate expertise on the ground to provide all necessary interventions.
Ms Manjezi noted that an investigation of the numbers showed more "walk-ins" to the branch offices, which reflected the message that the Enterprise Information Centres (EICs) were not giving the quality of information services.
The analysis of the queries to the EICs and branch offices had isolated seven basic services that were needed. The Department would also offer sector specific interventions. The role of the line and sector-specific departments would have to be clarified and strategies developed for sectors. the Department had begun to work with partnership agreements. Technology development support programmes were driven through the SEDA Technology Centre. The bulk of funding at the national office went to network support and knowledge systems development. Procurement programmes and agreements would be handled at Head Office.
The landscape of financial support services was shown. There was a gap in the middle sectors. The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) focused on industrial finance, and was a direct lending institution. The National Empowerment Fund (NEF) also had a direct lending mandate, but focused on broad based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) initiatives. Khula did not lend directly to enterprises. Its lending went via a myriad of partnerships. Although there were some models, the lending decision did not vest with Khula, and it had to customise to needs, objectives and priorities of partners.
SAMAF also lent through a network, rather than directly. There was follow through and support It was hoped to develop a robust micro system. Before there could be lending, there must be heavy investment into capacity building, and mentoring on development of systems and capacity to absorb credit.
The core of SAMAF and Khula interventions was shown. Business loans were delivered through the network of financial intermediaries. Small enterprises experienced serious gaps in availability of property and Research and Development (R&D) finance. For procurement, there was a contract based lending product developed with an external partner. Even the NEF had begun to work on looking at contract based lending.
SAMAF had a poverty alleviation product, stretching beyond enterprises to household finance. It would apply to joint income of less than R1 500 per month. Capacity building investment would have to ensure that the network was able to absorb and manage credit facilities. A further product was geared to micro-enterprise development, linking to cooperatives initiatives. It was quite powerful, but there had to be education on its power. The amount of SAMAF lending (R10 000) looked very small. However a cooperative with 10 members could access R100 000, and that represented 10% of R1 million. A real enterprise could be begun with this, with adequate development support instruments.
SAMAF performance at end March 2007 was tabled. The numbers showed low disbursements. This was because before it could start lending, there must first be development processes with financial intermediaries About 28 of the 31 intermediaries had not at that date been in the SAMAF agreement for more than 6 months, and had therefore been in the preliminary stages of framework development.
The Khula performance was also tabled. Ms Manjezi explained the rise in lending approvals between 2006 and 2007 as influenced by the shift in the demand for products, more credit facilities being requested. Khula therefore had to find ways to respond. The number of joint venture partners partnering with Khula was another factor. The numbers seemed consistent also with the outreach. The volume of approvals had increased, and more were accessing finance for larger amounts.
The Government Preferential Procurement for small enterprises product and services had begun with consultation with National Treasury (NT). The Department had to establish a framework for selection of the products to be used. The second phase would refine the implementation and monitoring mechanisms, and would be concluded with work by NT, and the issuing of guidelines.
Mr Mojalefa Mohoto, Unit Director: Enterprise Development, dti, noted that access to markets for small enterprises was a key priority. There was a need to look at market failures and opportunities. The focus would include strengthening the manufacturing chains to supply the demand. There was also encouragement of enterprise clusters and cooperatives, as these could perform better. The ability to absorb labour must be stimulated. Increased markets would increase the capacity to employ. This scheme was not for government alone. Once there was a pool of enterprises, they should create their own markets in the private sector. The ten products had been selected from a sample. Criteria had included the frequency levels of supply of the products to government, and this had informed the final list of ten products. These were listed (see attached presentation).
Mr Mohoto noted that merely providing markets without a linked payment system would not assist. Enterprises must be paid on time. This was legislated for in the Treasury requirements, but had not been happening. There would now be a platform for complaints, through a hotline in SEDA. There would also be government supplier database integration to track growth and movement.
Mr Mohoto said that the ultimate aim was that about 85% of government spending in the ten target areas should be directed towards small enterprises in the long term. However, for the next 18 months, a target of 70% would apply. The initial target would be enterprises supplying R500 000 and below, although there was recognition that some enterprises could supply above that figure. the Department would be running workshops with role players and the mechanisms developed would take into account the dynamics of particular provinces. It was critical for NT to issue guidelines. Annual reporting and monitoring would enable the Department to track the project. A Government Conference on Small Enterprise Procurement would be held in May 2008 to launch and publicise the programme.
Mr Mohoto said again that although the 30-day period was legislated, it was not being implemented in practice. Accounting Officers of Departments would therefore be targeted, and would have to include payment on time in their key performance agreements. A hotline call centre would be established. Complaints would be fed back to the accounting officers so that they could address the problems. The Auditor General should also be asked to comment on the payments.
Ms Manjezi added that coordination would be improved by establishment of a national / provincial / local integrated service delivery plan. The Department would look to review its enabling framework, since there had been disjuncture in the policy frameworks, to strengthen the coordination capacity, to have a joint plan for outreach to under-serviced areas, to set targets to track outreach, and to have co-funding arrangements.
Ms D Ramodibe (ANC) welcomed initiatives to address poverty. She asked for an explanation on the relationships between Khula and the banks.
Ms Manjezi said that it was the banks who decided whether they wished to partner with Khula, and in what areas they would partner. Most banks tended only to partner on cash-claim products, in the lower segment. By doing this, Khula could absorb the risk element. Because Khula tried to ensure that credit indemnity was in proportion, the banks would still try to minimise the loan size so that they would curb their losses. There would not be investment by the banks in infrastructure. Khula was dependent on what the banks wished to do. Khula was also not included in credit committees of the banks.
Ms Ramodibe asked for an explanation of the rationale for the placement of information centres. She asked why the information centres were not perceived as helpful and what should be done.
Ms Lupuwana noted that the branches were better staffed, and there was more work. The information centres were not SEDA-owned, and could only really deal with referrals and information about where to go.
Ms Ramodibe asked about the micro enterprises, noting that there had been some discussions about bringing them together and assisting them to survive.
Ms Ntuli noted that the Cabinet resolutions had included procurement and compliance. She asked what the time frames were, and what were the challenges. The need to invest for capacity-building was mentioned. She was pleased to see the Deputy Minister, as the issue of capacity was a perennial issue across all departments. It did not seem to make sense that it should still be so prevalent. Government procurement, compliance and coordination were all very well, but without capacity she wondered how much could be done.
Ms Ntuli said the same issue of capacity building was raised for SAMAF. She would like to hear if the plans would ever come to fruition.
Ms Lupuwana said that the Apex fund was structured in a certain way. Cooperatives were community owned and needed assistance on training, corporate governance and training. That was why a policy was taken to capacitate them before they could take lending decisions.
The Deputy Minister added, on the capacity issue, that the Auditor General had highlighted huge vacancy rates, not just in the dti. The problems might lie in some agencies or some provinces, where there was not the capacity to spend correctly. There was a huge problem of competition between government and the private sector, largely influenced by the difference in salaries. The Minister of Public Service and Administration had highlighted this in her media briefing the previous week.
Ms Ntuli also questioned the up-scaling of government investment in small enterprise. The budget for 2008/09 seemed to indicate that Khula was under-funded, and she wondered how serious the Department was about small businesses. She would like to hear exactly how things would be achieved with this small budget. Those in both townships and deep rural areas were suffering enormously.
Ms Lupuwana noted that the old SEDA budget had not changed. There was a moratorium in establishing new branches. Focus was put instead on improvement of the product. The plans were there, but the budget was too limited.
She noted that the whole issue would, as part of Khula Direct, this issue would be taken to Cabinet. There were attempts to close the gap between R10 000 and R250 000 funding. Recapitalisation of Khula to the tune of R1 billion was being requested. In addition it was proposed that Khula should be able to lend direct rather than through the intermediaries. However, it was quite difficult, because there was a huge spread of network that did not belong to Khula. The budget was dictated by the process, but the figures were changing in terms of lending and capacity building. The projections in the year ahead, for SAMAF, seemed to indicate a case for requesting additional budget. A number of institutions had been capacitated already.
Ms Ntuli noted that NEF and IDC were lending direct, and she appreciated this. She asked if they had a ceiling, and wondered also what their lower level was, as they seemed to cater for a particular group. She asked how women's groups and stokvels would be assisted. Perhaps there was a need to re-think how to develop rural people and help them to stay in those areas rather than migrating to the cities on the hope of a job.
Ms Manjezi said that the Department was trying to find a link to cooperatives in areas.
Prof E Chang (IFP) said that she remembered Khula having said that they would be more aggressive in lending under R200 000. That would seem to indicate that direct assistance would have to be sought from Khula. Khula was mentioned in regard to small business, but there was no reference to direct lending for micro businesses.
Ms Manjezi accepted the comment. However, she explained that financial intermediaries did not have risk management capacity Instead of giving R120 000 they might decide only to limit the loan to R10 000, because the risk element was minimal. That was why the loans size remained in lower segment figures. As long as they were carrying the mandate on someone else's back there would be challenges. The decision to change this would lie in government as a whole, not just dti.
Prof Chang said that the micro enterprises might be able to access funding. the Department needed to pay more attention to them.
Prof Chang noted that this dealt with procurement from government. She wondered if this alone would not justify unlimited credit, based upon the premise that government would pay. More attention would need to be paid to whether the government business would be regarded as a guarantee against payment.
Mr Mohoto said that this issue was embedded in the programme around supplier development. If enterprises had secured a project, they should be able to secure bridging finance. The direct foreign investors would have to develop a product or assist contracts in government.
Dr P Rabie (DA) noted that
Ms Lupuwana said that there had not been anything in
Dr Rabie said that small business procurement programmes were having problems in dealing with government departments. He said the private sector could not be expected to participate if government did not set an example. Small businesses were vulnerable and needed cash flow. Two months delay could create huge problems. He wondered if it was possible to name those provincial and national departments that were not paying.
Mr Mohoto said that it was rather a question of delay. Invoices might be sent to someone who was out of office, and sit in the in-tray for too long before being processed. This had to do with systems, and insufficient tracking. In addition, if an entrepreneur submitted an incorrect invoice, the turnaround time for rectification may be more than 30 days.
Ms Manjezi added that there were some system deadlocks. Bankserve would say that they could set up systems to clear invoices, and track the age analysis. However, because the Department systems did not allow for payment of third parties and cession of invoices, this tracking system could not be used. These points would be raised for further discussion. System decisions could not be taken by the Department alone.
The Deputy Minister said that the hotline would assist the small businesses to report on issues of non-payment or late payment. This was the only proposal that seemed to be workable at the moment. the Department was not included in those departments failing to pay in time. She could not speak for the agencies.
Mr S Njikelana (ANC) noted with concern that EICs and branches in certain areas were performing poorly.
Ms Manjezi said that the determination of where the EICs would be was based on whether there had been local business centres of some kind through whom SEDA would work or partner. However, SEDA was now having to invest in EICs and developing a in-house learning capacity to assist the EICs. As part of the development challenge, there was combining of financial and non financial support. The banks were doing micro lending, and financial intermediaries had better money than Khula. It was the decision of the owner of the business to decide which to go with. That was a development challenge.
Mr Njikelana noted that the seven basic services were useful. He noted the joint arrangement with Department of Agriculture on agri-business, but wondered if there were others for other sector programmes. He echoed Ms Ntuli's concerns that support tended to be urban-biased, and the rural areas were losing out.
Ms Manjezi said that the Department did not focus directly on rural areas, but would become involved in Integrated Development Plans of municipalities, and provincial development growth, and would decide on projects to drive the rural dimensions.
Mr Njikelana would like to have an update on programmes and on what was being done by parastatals in other areas.
Mr Njikelana recalled that when SAMAF presented, they had said that they would use intermediaries because of the numbers under R10 000. He would like to have comment, as intermediaries could be very helpful at that level. He asked to what extent coordination was helping. There were a number of institutions mentioned.
Mr Njikelana noted that property finance was not available as a Khula service. He asked why not. Property was helpful as collateral security in business.
Ms Manjezi said that this type of investment would require a high capital base. The same was true of research and development. As long as recapitalisation remained outstanding, this could not be done, unless Khula could find a partnership with the private sector. Perhaps enterprise development and empowerment could be linked through such an intervention. Perhaps parliament needed to send through a clear message
Mr Njikelana noted the gender spread and wondered if this showed any improvement, or if there were plans to ensure it.
Mr Njikelana hoped to hear more on the recent initiative with the private sector.
The Deputy Minister clarified that Old Mutual had a partnership with dti. It was two fold, within the Jobs for Growth of the Deputy President, assisting with rural development and poverty alleviation, and Old Mutual would be putting more than R400 million in to the different partnerships. On 18 February, the Women’s Entrepreneurial Fund, in partnership with Old Mutual was launched. R100 million had been contributed by Old Mutual and government in equal shares. This Fund would give loans to entrepreneurs, of between R30 000 and R1 million. It would be specifically geared to women entrepreneurs, as there had not previously been a targeted fund.
Mr Njikelana asked who was likely to raise challenges around constitutional compliance.
Ms Lupuwana noted that the constitutional challenge around the set aside was raised by NT – who suggested that perhaps one group should not be targeted against another. However, the Department was of the view that preferential procurement must be a priority.
Mr Njikelana referred to computer supplies as one of the 10 targeted products, and asked if this related to hardware, software or both.
Mr Mohoto confirmed that it referred to both.
Mr Rasmeni said that other questions should perhaps be directed to the other institutions mentioned.
Mr Rasmeni wished to refer to the point on lending decisions being taken by the banks, although the money came from government. He said this was a major problem, and asked if the Department was geared to do "business unusual". Most of the presentation appeared to be stressing business “as usual”. There was a need to change and to attack poverty by empowering and supporting small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and cooperatives, making interventions into the second economy. Unemployment and inequality in society were still rife, and coordination must address all sectors and all departments. He asked if there was both coordination and leadership to drive the small businesses. Departments were still acting autonomously.
Ms Lupuwana noted that there was coordination between SAMAF, Khula and NEF, with an exchange of information.
Mr Rasmeni said that steps to assist emerging farmers were being taken, but there was little support, no marketing, and lack of support to cooperatives. He asked if the unit dealing with cooperatives in the Department was still in existence, and what its budget would be.
The Deputy Minister responded that this unit still did exist.
Mr Rasmeni said that the turnaround for support to financial intermediaries seemed to be too slow; they were concentrating also on other issues, and there was not immediate disbursement and transfer of funds. In fact, he felt that the turnaround times should be improved across the board.
Prof Turok thanked the Deputy Minister for her attendance.
Prof Turok said that there was much concern about the allocation of funding in the dti. He suggested that this Committee should look carefully at the new budget and that the funding to the Department should be specially examined.
The Deputy Minister responded that the cooperatives funding had changed a little, as there would also be donor funding. In addition NT had given some funding and the Cooperatives Bank would also assist. Khula was given responsibility to deal with a special project on cooperatives. The Enterprise Organisation (TEO) was also running with a Cooperative Incentive Scheme (CIS). The Cooperatives Unit of the Department had not had adequate capacity to deal with all applications. There would be a more integrated strategy.
Prof Turok thought there was a need for better focus. If Cabinet had taken a decision that this was the year of government procurement, then that should take precedence over all else. It would make a huge difference if this Committee could say with certainty that all government departments were committed to what was set out. This should be raised in the Clusters and other Committees in Parliament. He understood the difficulties of accountability and quality performance. However, there was surely more that could be done within that context.
Prof Turok said that the location of the unit for enterprise development and the whole structure had to be clarified. He would like to see an organogram of all the institutions and the reporting lines.
Prof Turok said that at Polokwane an excellent resolution was taken on rural development that could be used as a basis for discussion.
The Deputy Minister said that support for small businesses was a core function of dti. She agreed that it might be useful for Prof Turok to note a formal request for an address around coordination and reporting functions, and should also raise the "business unusual" and the Polokwane issues. The position of direct foreign investment and implementation were critical proposals also raised at Polokwane. She agreed that there was a need to speed up the responses. There was a need to harmonise issues. Provision should be made for economic development and utilisation of all entities and agencies must be considered in the budget.
Prof Turok thought it was odd that NT was the custodian of government procurement.
Mr Rasmeni asked the Minister also to address the composition of the Boards, and the overlapping appointments.
The Deputy Minister said that the Boards had been discussed in many Cabinet committees. In some cases the expertise offered by a person might not be available elsewhere. The pool was small and people did tend to rotate in boards, both in government and private sector. Some who had more work were better than those who sat on only one board. It really depended on how they could prioritise their work. That was work in progress, and was linked to the broader issues of skills shortage. Hopefully it would be corrected in time.
The Deputy Minister gave a general response, stating that the integrated strategy was seeking better coordination and better alignment, moving away from the "silo approach". That would be happening gradually. The strategy presented to Cabinet emanated from previous Lekgotlas, when it was realised that the fragmented strategies were not assisting. This was work in progress. Issues such as the urban bias were ongoing. SEDA was trying to change its focus, although it could not do so in all provinces, and to work with other offices. There was progress, but it was slow.
Ms Ramodibe spoke to the need to do something specific for the poorest of the poor.
Mr Njikelana commented that it would be helpful to have a comparison of the Indian experience, as
Mr Njikelana said that Khula, SEDA and SAMAF must support the cooperatives. Although he understood that the Department was interacting with NT, there must be a formal response from NT and Cabinet as to what was being done to increase budget allocations for agencies. There had been numerous presentations to NT, and this should be escalated to Cabinet. He was dealing with a number of the agencies, and the demands on the ground were growing.
Mr Njikelana suggested that the Committee would have to focus on EICs and technology centres of SEDA. It would be helpful to have increased support. In addition he thought the Committee should focus on the incubation programme, as other countries who had intensified incubation programmes had prospered.
Mr Njikelana said that the quality of service of external service providers must be examined. Many people were more or less satisfied with their first interaction with SEDA, but that was lessened when they went through the various channels. There was a need to monitor this issue.
Mr Njikelana noted that there must be a conscious effort to mobilise what the clusters had suggested.
Mr Njikelana asked that the integrated service delivery plans should be examined by the Committee. The fifth core objective of Parliament was facilitating cooperative government. He would like to emphasise harmonisation. He asked if there could be a special session with NCOP and South African Local Government Association (SALGA) to evaluate what was happening. There was competition between the various groups. Public representatives must maximise resource allocation.
Mr Njikelana thought it was important to take the Department to the people. The assumption was that there would a focus on practitioners in the second economy. He thought that the focus should be broader. He would hope that the Department would explain what it did, but should also use locals to ensure continuity with what they were presenting, including councillors and parliamentary constituency offices. Leadership could be addressed there too.
Mr Njikelana said that he was anxiously awaiting the Enterprise Development Bill and looked forward to hearing when it would be presented.
The Deputy Minister said that the officials would attend to any need to amend legislation.
Ms Ntuli commented again on addressing the financial gap between R10 000 and R250 000. Under funding a person would be “funding for failure”. She had thought that there must still be mentoring, and asked if this was indeed continuing. She pointed out that funding should cover both equipment and working capital.
Ms Ntuli stated that some people had good business plans to develop traditional tourism villages. However, they could not find funding, as the institutions did not seem to have the capacity to deal with this. She wondered if the departments should not come together to decide who should be doing what. The Portfolio Committee on Agriculture was dealing with Mafisa, but there did not seem to be coordination with small business under this Committee. Crafts and agri-businesses were not being seen, nor assisted through other groups. There had been very little development since 1994 on these issues.
The Deputy Minister noted that the CEOs were working together in the various departments. They understood that their target markets were the same, and the various institutions were thus attempting to ensure that the rural and poor communities could tap into whatever was available. She agreed that this issue would justify a separate briefing.
Mr J Maake (ANC) raised the disparity between the approvals and the on-lending disbursement and asked for clarity.
Ms Lupuwana said that the difference lay in the funding from SAMAF to financial intermediaries, whether these were micro finance institutions or cooperatives. The money was disbursed in tranches. Before the later tranches would be given, the borrowers must demonstrate compliance with certain conditions.
Mr Maake said that one of the objectives was to increase the demand for products produced by small enterprises. He asked what strategies there were apart from preferential procurement.
Mr Maake asked the Department to come up with a concrete suggestion as to what exactly should be done on the lending decisions. He asked what level this must be taken to, and if legislation was needed, then the Department should bring proposals. The financial institutions seemed to be playing games with Khula.
The Deputy Minister said that more explanation was needed, but she would give a general response. She suggested that the Committee write a formal letter setting out the concerns around Khula and SAMAF, and a full report would be given. In relation to SEDA, she asked Mr Njikelana to give her some specifics as to which offices were involved.
The Deputy Minister noted that under the rural development programme there was a unit to deal with crafters, training them to exhibit, and to export directly instead of using a middle man. Perhaps that could be included in a presentation by the Department on small business. Some exhibitors would be taken directly to
The Deputy Minister appreciated that many people still did not know whom they should approach. There were a number of agencies and institutions and there was little understanding of what each handled, leading to frustration when people were referred on, or when their applications were refused without being told the reasons. People would often employ consultants, at huge cost, to attend to registration of Close corporations or cooperatives, unaware that they could do so themselves with assistance from SEDA. That was the reason for the communication campaigns.
The Chairperson said that it was not possible to address every issue now. This was an ongoing process.
The meeting was adjourned.

I have been through the various questions and tried a number of ways to implement comments plus but I can’t get it to work without breaking my theme. When comments + is showing my right sidebar is pushed down the page below the comments sections.
Also, the commenting tabs are not shown in the comment area (facebook, Twitter, google etc) and the options to follow via email etc are duplicated.
My site is http://www.gizchina.com. I have removed comments plus for now but hope you can help me intergrate it at some point thanks.

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) plays a pivotal role in helping healthcare providers manage administrative and clinical tasks regarding claims processing, bill payments, and revenue generation. Changing regulations in the U.S. with regards to value-based care and mounting pressure on healthcare providers to reduce costs while improving patient care have all led to the implementation of RCM becoming a necessity.
While the primary focus of healthcare providers have to be on providing excellent care to their patients, not paying attention to finances can disrupt their business operations. Leveraging proper RCM solutions will help them to prevent and reduce unpaid claims, improve point-of-service collections, maintain healthy accounts receivable, and reduce inefficient coding and billing processes which directly results in improved profit margins. In the most basic sense, an effective RCM helps healthcare providers get paid faster and ensures a smooth flow of capital to prevent roadblocks caused by lack of revenue.
Considering these facts, a distinguished selection panel comprising CEOs, CIOs, VCs, and the Healthcare Tech Outlook’s editorial board has selected a list of the top Revenue Cycle Management Solution Providers. These companies offer powerful solutions coupled with innovative strategies that are distinctively prominent in the field.
We present to you Healthcare Tech Outlook's "Top 10 Revenue Cycle Management Solution Providers - 2018."

I’m finally getting back to Jenkins, which I started waaaay back in November (here and here). Unfortunately, I kind of forgot my password. Well, that’s embarrassing! I also want to redo the manifest using maestrodev/rvm which means starting over, so I need to back things up. The manual for Jenkins and the results on Google can be overwhelming sometimes, so I thought I’d share what I learned to hopefully save someone else.
There’s a few ways I found to recover your password. One suggestion is to disable all security, delete your user, re-enable security and allow signups, and then recreate the same user and things should just “work”. Part of the reason you have to do this is that once you disable security, you can’t change the password for your user; only the user can. That’s … frustrating.
Disable security by editing
/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml on my instance. I was able to get away with disabling it by changing
false, though the article suggests removing two other lines. Restart the service with
systemctl restart jenkins or equivalent and now you’re able to get in and recreate some users.

"Nothing so comforts the military mind as the maxim of a great but dead general."
- “Parataxis,” a lit-crit term describing works in which “discrete segments of either poetry or prose follow each other in sequence,” like Caesar’s "Veni; vidi; vici," is actually the ancient Greek military word for “deployed for battle,” that is, with the troops formed up side by side.
- In the early years of the nineteenth century, Regular Army enlisted men were wont to refer to general officers as “Big Bugs,” a practice that seems to have continued until after the War of 1812.
- The only Canadian warship lost during World War I, the patrol vessel Galiano, which foundered in heavy seas in Queen Charlotte Sound on October 31, 1918, was named after Cdr. Dionisio Alcala Galiano of the Spanish Navy, who, before being killed in action at Trafalgar, had explored that very stretch of the northeastern Pacific.
- Between 1620 and 1719, about 30-percent of all Swedish men who reached the age of 15 died in military service, including two kings, Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII, making the death rate for male sovereigns 50-percent.
- In 1914, some of the first French prisoners of war to arrive in Germany were warmly received by the people, and offered wine and sweets.
- Reportedly, upon being offered an honorary doctorate by Oxford University during his visit to England in 1814, the eccentric Prussian Field Marshal Blucher asked if his Chief-of-Staff Gneisenau could be made an honorary apothecary, as he could not have achieved his victories without him.
- During the late 1870s, the normal working day of officers assigned to staff duties at the Austro-Hungarian Imperial-and-Royal War Ministry in Vienna ran from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
- For aiding casualties during the Battle for Hue City in February of 1968, the Marines awarded the Bronze Star Medal, with “V” for Valor, to journalists Al Webb of U.P.I., David Greenway of Time, both of whom were wounded, and Charles Mohr of The New York Times, the only civilians so honored by the corps in the Vietnam War.

Thermal imaging camera technology is a method of enhancing the vision ability in total darkness by detecting the infrared radiation of the object. Thermal imaging is the most efficient method to identify all the heat issues. A thermal imaging camera is a non-contact heat measurement equipment and used in a wide variety of environments.
These thermal camera devices translated the thermal energy (heat energy) into visible light and produced a thermal image called a thermogram. These thermal images processed through the software and gave the report and also used to determine the problem.
Why thermal imaging?
Thermal imaging has many benefits; some of the most common benefits are,
• Identify overheating parts and joints in a power wire.
• Identify overheating on a motor
• Identify a load imbalance of switchgear
• Identify hot fuses in a building
• Measure extra water and mildew in a wall
• Measure and monitor heat loss in a building
• Hunting of ghosts
• It allows you to see through fog, snow, smoke, dust, and find people and animals.

1. Can thermal cameras see through objects?
No, thermal imagers can detect the heat only, and they will not see through the clothing, brick walls, and solid objects, etc. They can detect the heat coming from the surface of the object.
2. What is the biggest difference between $3,000 and $10,000 cameras?
The difference is the thermal imager resolution. The higher range of thermal camera has a high resolution, and it gives better picture quality.
3. What are IR cameras?
It is a non-contact device that is used to detect the infrared energy and converts it into an electronic signal and then is processed and produced a thermal image on the monitor. It can perform temperature calculations. You can also rent infrared cameras for your home inspection.
Most manufacturers will meet your recommended buying requirements. Most thermal imaging cameras fall under $1000, and some models have $250. If you have a temporary need, then rent a thermal camera. If you are using a thermal imager for the home inspection and preventive maintenance, then you have to own a thermal imager.

Comparing the Presidential Candidates’ Regulatory Policies
- Neither presidential candidate has offered many specifics on regulatory policy, but in broad terms their conceptions of the regulatory state are very different.
- President Trump looks to continue the deregulatory agenda that has been a mainstay of his administration and has focused mostly on repealing or revising Obama Administration regulations.
- Former Vice President Biden aims to return to “Obama-Biden” policies, which would mean repealing or revising several of the regulations the Trump Administration has issued, and those efforts could be bolstered by the Congressional Review Act.
The 2020 presidential election is down to a contest between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. Though neither candidate has offered much in the way of specifics on their regulatory policies, broadly speaking the candidates differ immensely. Trump has promised to continue the deregulatory agenda that his campaign counts among one of the biggest successes of his first term. Biden’s campaign, in contrast, has largely promised a return to many of the policies of the Obama Administration.
Since the Trump Administration’s deregulatory agenda has focused largely on repealing or revising regulations from the Obama Administration, it is likely that a Biden Administration would focus on repealing or revising those changes and returning back to regulations more aligned with the Obama era. This analysis, therefore, will briefly assess the Trump Administration’s first-term performance, its second-term goals, and then identify executive actions and regulations likely to be targeted should Biden assume the presidency.
TRUMP’S DEREGULATORY AGENDA
Early in his term, President Trump enacted policies aimed at fulfilling his campaign promise of cutting regulation. Though not explicitly stated, it became immediately clear that this meant specifically reducing regulations issued during the Obama Administration. With more than $890 billion in regulatory costs issued during the Obama era, there were plenty of targets. From the 2017 inauguration through July 24, federal agencies have published an estimated total savings of $112.7 billion.
The administration’s main policy to drive deregulation is through a regulatory budgeting system for executive agencies that would continue into a second term. The president has also used executive orders (EOs) to direct deregulatory action at specific sectors or regulations (see below).
Though certainly deregulatory, particularly in terms of estimated cost savings when viewed against recent administrations of both parties, the Trump Administration has been consistently regulatory in some areas, particularly immigration and trade. This dichotomy can be expected to continue in a second term.
BIDEN’S LIKELY REGULATORY POLICY
Throughout his campaign website, Vice President Biden promises a return to many “Obama-Biden” policies. Since many of the Obama Administration’s regulatory policies were repealed or narrowed by the Trump Administration, it should be expected that a primary focus of a Biden Administration would be to re-install, or expand, those regulatory efforts. These efforts could include repealing several EOs that target Obama Administration regulations and administrative actions. Since a president can repeal or amend EOs at the simple stroke of a pen – as opposed to undertaking the full rulemaking process – such actions would likely be among the first that a President Biden would undertake.
Furthermore, as shown during the Trump Administration when the House of Representatives and Senate were in unified Republican control, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) can be a useful tool to remove regulations issued under a previous administration. The CRA allows Congress to disapprove of regulations issued within the last 60 legislative days of the previous Congress by a simple majority in both chambers, along with the president’s signature. Should the upcoming election result in unified Democratic Party control over both chambers, many recent Trump Administration rules could be in the Biden Administration’s crosshairs.
Below is a list of likely EOs to be repealed, followed by 10 Trump Administration regulatory actions that could be a target for a reversion back to their Obama-era form – including those subject to the expedited procedure of the CRA.
Executive Orders Likely to Be Repealed
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs – EO 13,771 is the hallmark order establishing the Trump Administration’s one-in, two-out policy and regulatory budget.
Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda – EO 13,777 directs agencies to identify Regulatory Reform Officers and create Regulatory Reform Task Forces to implement EO 13,771.
Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth – EO 13,783 calls on agencies to review existing regulations that potentially burden the development or use of domestically produced energy resources and appropriately suspend, revise, or rescind those that unduly burden the development of domestic energy resources.
Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents – EO 13,891 requires agencies to list all active guidance in a single location on its website. Guidance not listed is considered void. This second provision makes the EO a likely target for repeal.
Promoting the Rule of Law Through Transparency and Fairness in Civil Administrative Enforcement and Adjudication – EO 13,892 directs agencies to not use guidance to create new requirements and to exercise enforcement discretion commensurate with the harm of a violation.
Regulatory Relief to Support Economic Recovery – EO 13,924 calls on agencies to identify regulations modified or suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and take action to make them permanent. It also calls for further enforcement discretion.
Regulatory Actions Likely to be Repealed/Revised
Rules marked with an asterisk (*) are expected to be subject to the expedited process under the CRA.
The Navigable Waters Protection Rule: Definition of “Waters of the United States”
Potential Economic Impact: The Trump Administration’s rule has estimated total savings of $3.2 billion, which could be foregone if reversed by a Biden Administration.
The Affordable Clean Energy Rule
The rule repealed the Clean Power Plan, the Obama Administration EPA’s rule to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Potential Economic Impact: The Affordable Clean Energy Rule has estimated total costs of $970 million. If replaced with a stricter regulation, costs could approach or exceed those of the Clean Power Plan ($11.9 billion).
*Update to the Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act
The Council on Environmental Quality recently finalized a rule reducing the scope of environmental review on federally approved projects.
There are no estimated costs or savings associated with this rule.
The Overtime Rule
The Department of Labor (DOL) rule issued in 2019 lowered the minimum salary threshold most employees must earn in order to be eligible for overtime by about $12,000 from the threshold finalized by the Obama Administration in 2016.
Potential Economic Impact: The Trump Administration’s overtime rule saved $7.6 billion over the Obama Administration’s rule, which could be foregone if revised.
The Safer, Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule
The largest deregulatory measure of the Trump Administration, by total savings, the EPA and Department of Transportation (DOT) rule rolled back emissions limits on motor vehicles put in place by the Obama Administration.
Potential Economic Impact: The SAFE Vehicles rule has an estimated savings of $199.5 billion over the Obama Administration’s rule, which could be foregone if revised.
*Nondiscrimination in Health and Health Education Programs or Activities, Delegation of Authority
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rule narrowed the agency’s previous interpretation of Affordable Care Act nondiscrimination provisions, which prohibited discrimination in certain health programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
Potential Economic Impact: The HHS rule has estimated savings of $3.4 billion, which could be forgone if repealed or revised.
*Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule repealed the Obama Administration’s “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” rule, which imposed stricter obligations on HUD grantees.
Potential Economic Impact: The HUD rule has estimated savings of up to $23.7 million annually (will be updated once a total savings figure is available).
*Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance
The Department of Education rule narrows the definition of harassment for the purposes of covered colleges complying with Title IX, among other changes.
Potential Economic Impact: The Department of Education rule has estimated costs of $62.2 million, which could be saved if repealed (though likely replaced with some costs from a replacement).
Inadmissibility Based on Public Charge Grounds
The Department of Homeland Security rule broadened the number of potential immigrants that would be considered public charges, or noncitizens receiving certain benefits from the federal government.
Potential Economic Impact: The rule has estimated costs of $352 million that could be saved if repealed or revised.
*Hours of Service of Drivers
The DOT rule scaled back certain provisions of an Obama Administration rule that governs how long commercial truck drivers can be on duty over certain periods.
Potential Economic Impact: The DOT rule includes estimated savings of $3.1 billion, which would be foregone if repealed or revised.
There is a clear distinction between the two candidates when it comes to their regulatory approaches. President Trump has focused primarily on repealing or seriously amending Obama-era regulations and will look to continue this approach in a second term. If elected president, former Vice President Biden would likely seek to reinstate or strengthen those Obama Administration rules rolled back by the Trump Administration. The Congressional Review Act may help Biden reverse Trump Administration rules more expeditiously, depending on the outcome of House and Senate elections.

BWSW Boat Insurance Partnership & GJW
24 February 2020
Following on from the acquisition of GJW by Howden and significant changes to their business model, the partnership between BWSW and GJW has now come to an end. Currently BWSW are in the process of seeking a new boat insurance partner however at a time when the marine insurance industry has hardened significantly and many providers have withdrawn from the industry. This is making it more difficult for us to find a partner for start of season however we remain optimistic that we can do so.
What this Means for Personal / Private Boat Owners
GJW currently will still renew / insure any personal water craft for leisure use only and if you wish you may choose to renew with GJW however you may find similar alternative providers online.
What this Means for Clubs & Ski Schools
For voluntary and commercial providers where for example a club owned boat is in use, GJW will no longer renew / insure boats in this category. GJW is now only prepared to insure personal watercraft owned by private individuals. Do reach out to other local clubs who may have researched club boat insurance already.
We do hope to announce a new boat insurance partner in due course but are unable to put a timeline to this at present. In the meantime note that BWSW is not financial services regulated and we cannot recommend any alternative providers however there are a number of providers available through an online search or via informal recommendation within the water ski and wakeboard community ...
Wishing you a great Season 2020 ...

How can we optimize comfort?
Most people crave comfort. Especially people who use personal hygiene products. Babies and toddlers (and parents). Tweens, teens and adult women. And don’t forget seniors. Everyone wants the utmost in softness, breathability, light weight, discretion and protection. Which all add up to comfort. In all of its various meanings.
ASPUN™ Fiber Resins are specifically designed to address the need for comfort in diapers and other absorbent hygiene products. Used alone or in combination with other materials, ASPUN™ Resins can offer cloth-like aesthetics, cushiony softness, and much more to virtually any nonwoven or fiber application.
Bicomponent spunbond nonwovens
In bicomponent spunbond nonwovens, ASPUN™ Resins help deliver the ultra-soft, ultra-comfortable, and ultra-quiet performance consumers want along with:
- Excellent drape
- High extensibility
- Ultra-thin products
Monocomponent spunbond nonwovens
ASPUN™ Fiber Resins help deliver cloth-like aesthetics to mono spunbond nonwovens, including extreme softness, exceptional drape/flexibility, and low noise for enhanced comfort and confidence.
Bicomponent staple fibers
Using ASPUN™ Resins in the sheath layer of bicomponent fibers enables excellent softness and improved touch/feel. Bico fibers containing ASPUN™ also allow development of nonwovens with:
- Custom designed tensile strength/elongation properties
- Lower temperatures/improved strength during air through bonding
- Optimized bulk/high loft
- Improved drape
Bicomponent binder fibers
Combining ASPUN™ Fiber Resins with a functional polymer such as AMPLIFY™ Functional Polymers, BYNEL™ Adhesive Resins, or FUSABOND™ Functional Polymers allows development of ultra-thin airlaid nonwovens with excellent bonding, wet pad integrity, bulk maintenance, and more.
ASPUN™ Resins in the sheath and INFUSE™ Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) in the core helps produce highly extensible elastic nonwovens that combine exceptional fit, comfort, and discreetness.
The softer, finer fibers produced by ASPUN™ MB Meltblown Fiber Resins are helping create a new generation of even more comfortable, quiet nonwovens with improved:
- Barrier performance (air permeability and hydrohead)
- SMS bonding
- Odor control (face masks, HAP, etc.)
Teaming up with Dow and ASPUN™ Fiber Resins can bring remarkable levels of comfort to consumers – and you. We’d love to hear about your nonwoven and fiber needs.

β-Lactams, structures found in β-lactam antibiotics, are the structurally distorted cyclic compounds being subject to nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. α-Fluorination of β-lactams is a simple and expedient approach to control the reactivity of β-lactam ring toward nucleophilic attack, which would hopefully lead to new design of future antibiotics. From the viewpoint of obtaining multisubstituted α-fluoro-β-lactams, α-bromo-α-fluoro-β-lactams are considered as key compounds for structure functionalization, including nucleophilic substitution reaction, aldol-type reaction and metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. All the reactions can be conducted smoothly to afford a variety of multisubstituted α-fluoro-β-lactams. During the course of the examination, chiral α,α-difluoro-β-lactams and α-bromo-α-fluoro-β-lactams are successfully obtained which are considered potent precursors for making stereocontrolled multisubstituted α-fluoro-β-lactams.
Keywords: fluorine, β-lactam, β-amino acid, stereoselective synthesis, cross-coupling, Reformatsky reaction

My Bill and Express Checkout is now available on GuestU!
Having a smooth trip, whether for leisure or business, is highly desired by guests. Being welcomed on arrival and realizing that the hotel meets their expectations is essential to start a good stay. In addition to the first impression, the following moments are also essential to determine customer satisfaction during their trip.
With that in mind, GuestU launched two new features that will provide guests with comfort and ease in managing their stay:
MY BILL: CONTROL FROM START TO FINISH
The possibility of tracking their room costs in real time allows the guests to control their account and offers the security of not being surprised by unplanned values at the end of their stay. My Bill’s functionality allows just that!
Seeing the details of each consumption, such as the description and the date they occurred, creates even more confidence in the hotel and contributes to a peaceful stay.
EXPRESS CHECKOUT: CONVENIENCE AND SPEED
At the end of the stay, people don’t want to waste time in lines at the reception or checking if their account statement at the hotel is correct. With constant monitoring on My Bill, the guest can perform Express Checkout directly on the GuestU app or on the GuestU phone, by clicking on a simple button.
This way, errors in the consumption record are avoided and also the inconvenience of delayed checkout!
By the time the guest clicks the express checkout button at the end of their account, the PMS receives this information and streamlines the checkout process.
Hotels that have advance payment authorization can allow guests to skip the reception and leave directly after the express check-out.
If the bill amount surpases the authorization value then guests will see a message to go to reception to make the final payment.
These new features on the GuestU App and GuestU Phone will make your guests’ experience even more enjoyable!

HIST 32050 is a prerequisite for HIST 49091, Senior Seminar in History and must be completed with a grade of C or better.
HIST 49091: Senior Seminar in History during their final undergraduate year.

3) Upper-Division Electives: At least seven upper division history courses (21 credit hours) in which students take at least two courses (6 credit hours) from the Area Studies Electives, at least two courses (6 credit hours) from the Thematic Studies Electives, and at least three (9 credit hours) additional upper division courses (30,000 or 40,000 level) of their choosing. HIST 32050 and HIST 49091 do not count toward upper-division electives. HIST 49002: Internship in History (3 credit hours) only counts once towards the upper-division electives. Because course offerings change from year to year, students should check the University catalog for the most up-to-date list of which courses may be applied to the Area Studies or Thematic Studies Electives.

The City of League City will implement a daytime staffing plan for the League City Volunteer Fire Department beginning Jan. 4, 2016.
The City plans to use two ways to staff daytime crews.
Existing volunteer firefighters will be offered a stipend of $100 per day - consistent with Fair Labor Standards Act parameters – to staff Station One between Monday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Seven Emergency Medical Service personnel will also be cross-trained to serve in a dual role of first responder and medic. The individuals who are selected to cross-train will receive their fire certification training from Fire Academy Online and assistance from fire department staff. Upon certification, the paramedic firefighters will be required to follow continuing education rules by the Texas Commission on Fire Protection. Cross-trained EMS personnel will also receive a monthly incentive of $400 per month.
“Our goal is to improve service to League City residents,” said League City Fire Chief, Gary Warren. “This plan implements the use of stipends for volunteer daytime staffing while integrating existing EMS staff to dual roles and ensures our response to emergency calls is not compromised.”
The universal goal for fire service response times is seven minutes or less. League City’s average response times has ranged around 8.5 minutes throughout the last three years.
“The safety of our residents is our top concern,” said Warren. “Emergency calls are gradually increasing as the City continues to grow.
Our current response time is comparable to very large cities such as Houston, but not as quick,” continued Warren. “By strategically locating daytime staff in Station One, we will reduce our overall response times and come closer to a seven minute response time. We will also increase our chances of improving our ISO rating, serve as a better neighbor to our mutual aid cities, increase opportunities for non-emergency service initiatives and provide relief to volunteers with daytime jobs.”
Throughout the course of a year, it is estimated that League City’s volunteer firefighters provide about five million dollars of service to the City.
“It’s important our volunteers know how important they are to the Fire Department and our residents,” said Warren. “Our volunteer firefighters are essential to the safety of this community. We are thankful for their selfless dedication and commitment to making League City a safe place to live, work and play.
Costs for the plan throughout the next nine months will total $114,300.
The daytime staffing plan was approved by City Council on Nov. 10, 2015.

Swara Bhasker has come out in support of Rhea Chakraborty, who has been accused by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's father of abetting his son's suicide. Swara has said that Rhea is being subjected to "a bizarre" media trial.
Rhea on Monday submitted in an additional affidavit filed in the Supreme court against "unfair media trial" in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. She also said the "constant sensationalisation" was causing extreme trauma and infringement of privacy of her rights.
Reacting to the news, Swara tweeted, "Rhea is being subjected to a bizarre & dangerous media trial fuelled by hugely problematic impulses of mob justice. I hope the Hon’ble #SupremeCourt will pay heed & take fake news spinners & conspiracy theorists & others to task. Let the law decide."
Meanwhile, the submission by Rhea in a 12-page affidavit came a day ahead of the next hearing of her plea for the transfer of the Bihar police FIR against her from Patna to Mumbai.
The CBI has since taken over the probe after the Centre gave its approval following a recommendation by the Bihar government.
It has re-registered the Bihar police's First Information Report(FIR) of alleged criminal conspiracy and abetment to suicide against Chakraborty, who was Rajput’s girlfriend. Others named in the FIR are Rhea's brother Showik Chakraborty, father Indrajit Chakraborty, mother Sandhya Chakraborty, Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda and Shruti Modi, the business manager of Rhea and Rajput.
The FIR was based on the complaint of Rajput’s 77-year-old father Krishna Kishore Singh, a resident of Patna.

Adam Caplan of FoxSports.com is reporting that cornerback Ellis Hobbs is done for the year and will be heading to injured reserve after sustaining a neck injury in Sunday's 27-17 win over the New York Giants.
Hobbs was hit in the helmet by Giants defensive end Dave Tollefson during his return of the opening kickoff in the second half. In what became a scary scene, Hobbs lay on the ground for 11 minutes before getting stretchered off the field. After going in for examination, Hobbs has control of all his extremities.
Following a Monday MRI, Hobbs, according to head coach Andy Reid, was found to have sustained damage to one of the discs in his neck. Hobbs' 2009 season was ended by a similar injury, though the newly injured disc is not the same as last year's.
If Hobbs does end up on injured reserve, the Eagles will be left with five cornerbacks on the roster: Asante Samuel, Dimitri Patterson, Joselio Hanson, Trevard Lindley and Jorrick Calvin. Calvin has handled return duties this season, though, because he was inactive Sunday night, running back Eldra Buckley replaced Hobbs as the kickoff returner.

Indulge your inner adventurer and join Pura Vida Divers on our 2020 Whaleshark Trip! Travel with us to beautiful Isla Mujeres, Mexico for an epic week on the water.
This year, enjoy an extra day in the water with whalesharks AND an additional day to relax on the island or explore the Cenotes.

From exploring the remains of a Mayan temple, to visiting the lighthouse or the Tortugranja sea turtle sanctuary, there are plenty of activities to entertain out-of-the-water guests as well.
Spend your final day relaxing on the beach, or keep the adventure going with a trip to the Cenotes! Swim among epic stalagmite and stalactite formations.

On this page, you will find my multimedia video content from my prior internships, coursework and professional experiences.
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Below are two videos I created for the Center's Get It Back Campaign, which is a campaign geared at informing low- to middle-income families across America about the tax benefits and assistance they deserve. The videos serve to promote Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites by focusing on personal VITA stories.
2017 White-Denison Speech Competition
In April 2017, I won the grand prize in Syracuse University's White-Denison Public Speaking Competition. The competition was composed of three rounds, and I was the only freshman to make it into the finals. Over 60 students competed in that year's competition.
Z89 Radio Station
From August 2019 to May 2020, I served as the lead host of Orange State, a political talk show on the student-run radio station Z89. The show aired every Tuesday night from 8 to 9 pm. My job was to kick off the show, provide the opener for every segment, encourage debate between co-hosts, contribute news stories to the weekly segment run-down, help maintain a friendly atmosphere during tense debates, implement new ideas to improve the show and close the show.
