Industrial Odor Control’s Bacteria Septic Additive with Enzymes aids in the natural digestive process of organic material in your septic system. The process that happens in your septic tank is the same process waste goes through at waste-water processing plants around the world.
Some septic additives contain just bacteria, but with the addition of enzymes, the digestive process is given a kick-start by speeding up the process by which water combines with a substance. It then breaks it down into tiny fragments that the bacteria then consume.
Since enzymes are specifically targeted, our formula contains multiple enzymes, including amylase (for the digestion of starches from food products), protease (for digesting proteins from meat), cellulose (for digesting the cellulose found in toilet paper), pectinase (for digesting the pectin found in vegetables and fruits), and lipase (which digests fats). Enzymes are in a class called catalysts. They are substances that will manipulate the speed or rate of the chemical reaction without altering the substance itself.
There are several strains of bacteria in our septic additive, they belong to the family bacillus. Our bacteria are nonpathogenic and powerful waste digesters that can be found in a large number of waste-water applications.
The Industrial Odor Control septic additive bacteria consume organic matter that the bacteria then turn into CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H20 (Water). The bacteria in our product can live with or without air, making it the perfect solution for applications both rich in, and devoid of oxygen.
The box contains twelve monthly doses of our septic additive. This product can also be purchased in cannisters containing a one year supply and a measuring scoop.

Under Ghana’s Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (GPRS II), the then Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare (MESW) was mandated to develop the National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS) which was completed in 2007. The primary objective of the NSPS is to reduce poverty in the country in line with the Millennium Development Goal of halving extreme poverty by 2015. The NSPS also sought to provide an all-inclusive society through the provision of sustainable mechanisms for the protection of persons living in situations of extreme poverty, vulnerability and exclusion. Other components of the strategy were; the establishment of a New Social Cash Grant Scheme to provide basic and secure income for the most vulnerable households, better targeting of existing social protection programmes and a package of complementary inputs for beneficiaries of social protection programmes.
Based on the mandate of the National Development Planning Commission to include the poor and vulnerable in national planning and development, the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) Programme was established as the flagship social Protection programme of Ghana’s Social Protection Strategy. In support of this initiative, development partners like UNICEF, DFID and the World Bank as well as Civil Society Organizations such as Help Age Ghana also played key roles in the introduction of the LEAP Programme.
The establishment of the LEAP Programme was followed by a process in which a team of technical experts in the area of Social Protection and Social Policy was assembled to design an implementation manual for the Programme. The team of technical experts included specialists in social protection and social policy from Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, Uganda and Ghana. In Ghana the technical experts were drawn from the University of Ghana’s Centre for Social Policy studies (CSPS) and the Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER). The technical experts developed an operations manual to guide the implementation of the Programme.
The first disbursement of cash grants was done in March, 2008 with 1, 654 households in 21 pilot districts paid. Prior to the introduction of the LEAP Programme, the Department of Social Welfare with support from UNICEF was implementing a National Health Insurance Scheme project through which health insurance premiums were paid for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) especially those orphaned by HIV/AIDS in the 21 districts. These 21 districts were therefore adopted for the implementation of the LEAP Programme through a pilot process.
In 2009, the LEAP Programme expanded its reach to 54 districts from 21 districts. This expansion was brought about as a result of the expansion of the eligibility criteria to include extremely poor households with elderly persons aged 65 years and above without productive capacity and persons with severe disabilities.
In 2010, a number of districts in eight regions of Ghana were affected by drought and floods. To alleviate the suffering caused by this challenge, the LEAP Programme was tasked to facilitate payments to the flood victims through the Emergency LEAP Programme.
In 2010, the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare contracted the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) which collaborated with the University of North Carolina to conduct a baseline study of the LEAP Programme. This was followed by an impact evaluation on the LEAP Programme between 2012 and 2013. Some of the findings of the impact evaluation revealed that the LEAP programme is making an impact on its beneficiary households. The Programme has positively impacted the education of children in beneficiary households in terms of enrolment, grade repetition and absenteeism among others. The Food and Agriculture Organisation conducted a qualitative impact evaluation study in 2012 on cash transfer programmes in seven African countries including Ghana. This study also known as the Transfer Project found a positive impact of LEAP on its beneficiary households as well as the local economies.
Furthermore, in 2012, the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministries of Health, Education, Agriculture, Local Government and Rural Development, Employment and Social Welfare and Women and Children’s Affairs for the development of a Common Targeting Mechanism (CTM). A CTM is a tool used jointly by the ministries which signed the MoU to identify extremely poor households. Through this MoU, the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) is required to register LEAP beneficiaries onto the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) free of charge. As a result, LEAP beneficiaries have been registered onto the NHIS without being charged any fees since 2012. Currently, (July – December, 2016) the LEAP Programme is conducting a nationwide exercise to register LEAP beneficiaries with the NHIS. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure access to health care services for the LEAP beneficiaries.
The Programme has also received support (funding, logistics, capacity building) from Development Partners. For instance between 2010 and 2012, the DFID of the U. K Government provided Institutional Strengthening Support (ISP) to the former Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare and the Department of Social Welfare. DFID continued its Phase 2 support to the LEAP Programme from 2013 to 2017 by providing Grant and Non Grant Support.
Since 2013, the LEAP programme has undergone a numbers of reforms and innovations all aimed at building efficient and effective systems. These reforms include upgrading of the Management Information System (MIS), transitioning from manual targeting and manual payments to electronic-targeting and electronic payments respectively and implementation of a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework developed in collaboration with the Oxford Policy Management (OPM). In order to facilitate the transition from a manual to an electronic payment system, the LEAP Programme conducted electronic payments through which grants were transferred to LEAP beneficiaries from the third quarter of 2013. Three Payment Service Providers (PSP); AYA Technologies, MTN Mobile Money and the Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Systems (GhIPSS) were contracted to facilitate the electronic payments. At the end of the pilot phase in February 2014, the Programme conducted an evaluation of the pilot through Catholic Relief Services. The recommendations of the evaluation culminated in the up-scaling of the electronic payments nation-wide in 2016.
The LEAP Programme has embarked on an expansion drive to target and enrol an additional 50,000 households onto the programme in 2016. This is to ensure that the programme meets its target of 250,000 households enrolled by the end of 2016.
In December 2015 the Cabinet of the Government of Ghana approved the establishment of the LEAP Management Secretariat as a Programme separate from the Department of Social Welfare and reporting to the Chief Director in the Ministry of Gender Children and Social Protection.

I was starting to come down from last weeks cakey high when I published the post on the Nigel Slater event but then didn't the main man himself go and tweet me saying he had read my blog post! Talk about making me giddy! I waffle on here and I have no idea if people actually read my ramblings but Nigel Slater did! Look, here is a screenshot of it for proof!
Anyway, the whole point of this post was to share the recipe of the cake that I made for that event. The theme was fruit and veg but to be honest with you I never think if adding veg to a cake, I know you can but it goes against the grain for me, I'm all about the sugary goodness (or badness?) that a cake consists of. I decided to go down the fruit route and straight away I though raspberries and chocolate, they really are a perfect match. I know I have made a chocolate and raspberry cake before but this time it needed to be extra special and that's when I thought of meringue. I have used meringue in other cakes (here and here) so I felt like it would be a crowd pleaser.
I actually baked the meringue separately cos it was the only way I could guarantee it and the sponge would be cooked properly. Lots of recipes say you can bake the meringue on top of the sponge but I worry about the cake sinking or being over/under baked.
I did intend to try a different chocolate cake recipe instead of old faithful but I had too many other things going on and I knew this was a quick sponge I could make on an evening after work without too much stress and faffing. I am determined to explore new chocolate cake recipes though - it's Himself's birthday on Saturday so I'm going to make a different chocolate cake for him.
Also, one day I will get the scales out when I make this chocolate cake. Usually I'm a stickler for scales but this is one recipe where measuring cups really work.
Once all the sugar has been added and the meringue looks glossy mix the corn flour and vinegar together and add to the mix.
Beat the butter, icing sugar and milk together for around 5mins til pale and mousse like. Add the jam a bit a time until it tastes raspberry enough.
Add some more milk if it isn't smooth enough to spread.
Add a thin layer of buttercream to the first sponge, place the meringue on to it and trim off any overhanging bits.
Don't worry if the meringue gets a bit crushed as a top layer of sponge will end up on top of it anyway.
Add the top layer of sponge and coat all of the exterior of the cake in a thin layer of buttercream known as a crumb coat.
At this stage put the cake in the fridge for 30mins to firm up.
Once firm add another thicker layer of buttercream to the whole cake and using a patterned scraper (optional) pull in along the side of the cake to create a nice design.
Decorate the top with sprinkles of freeze dried raspberries, leftover meringue pieces and a handful of fresh raspberries.
I know this cake has a lot of steps but honestly it is not difficult to make. I don't like overly complicated bakes as you end up making mistakes or losing heart with it. If you want to you can make the sponge and meringue the night before and then decorate the next day.

If you’ve ever tried to write something long – a thesis, a book, or a manifesto outlining your disappointment in the modern technocracy and your plan to foment violent revolution – you know that distractions can slow you down or even stop the creative process. That’s why the folks at Astrohaus created the Freewrite, a distraction-free typewriter, and it’s always why they are launching the Traveler, a laptop-like word processor that’s designed for writing and nothing else.
The product, which I saw last week, consists of a hearty, full-sized keyboard and an E ink screen. There are multiple “documents” you can open and close and the system autosaves and syncs to services like Dropbox automatically. The laptop costs $279 on Indiegogo and will have a retail price of $599.
The goal of the Freewrite Traveler is to give you a place to write. You pull it out of your bag, open it, and start typing. That’s it. There are no Tweets, Facebook sharing systems, or games. It lasts for four weeks on one charge – a bold claim but not impossible – and there are some improvements to the editing functions including virtual arrow keys that let you move up and down in a document as you write. There are also hotkeys to bring up ancillary information like outlines, research, or notes.
If the Traveler is anything like the original Freewrite then you can expect some truly rugged hardware. I tested an early model and the entire thing was built like a tank or, more correctly, like a Leica. Because it is aimed at the artistic wanderer, the entire thing weighs two pounds and is about as big as the collected stories of Raymond Carver.
Is it for you? Well, if you liked the original Freewrite or even missed the bandwagon when it first launched, you might really enjoy the Traveler. Because it is small and light it could easily become a second writing device for your more creative work that you pull out in times of pensive creativity. It is not a true word processor replacement, however, and it is a “first-thought-best-thought” kind of tool, allowing you to get words down without much fuss. I wouldn’t recommend it for research-intensive writing but you could easily sketch out almost any kind of document on the Traveler and then edit it on a real laptop.
There aren’t many physical tools to support distraction-free writing. Some folks, myself included, have used the infamous AlphaSmart, a crazy old word processor used by students or simply set up laptops without a Wi-Fi connection. The Freewrite Traveler takes all of that to the next level by offering the simplest, clearest, and most distraction-free system available. Given it’s 50% off right now on Indiegogo it might be the right time to take the plunge.

Thanks to our partners at IceMar, we’re able to bring you an Icelandic delicacy that’s hard to find yet coveted by the culinary world—the langoustine.
We import langoustines directly from Iceland where they’re pulled from the deep waters of the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean. The cold waters result in the sweetest langoustines in the world.
Although similar to lobster or crawfish in appearance, the langoustine’s flavor is much sweeter. The meat almost melts in your mouth with a delicate texture—more so than both the shrimp and the lobster.
Simplicity is key when preparing your langoustines, so our recipe calls only for a little homemade herb butter to showcase its true virtue. They are perfect for entertaining, and can be served as an appetizer or the main course. Split in half, langoustines are great roasted or grilled. They can also be steamed whole for three minutes. Save the heads and shells for homemade bisque, and though the tails hold most of the meat, don’t forget to crack open the claws!
Gently combine parsley, shallots, herbs, and spices to the softened butter.
Split langoustines in half with kitchen shears. Remove the veins.
Spread the halves evenly across a sheet pan, shell side down.
Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of herb butter on each half.
Roast langoustines in the oven or on the grill for three minutes.

Federal officials have awarded more than $855,000 in grants for efforts to set national standards for student achievement in geography and civics.
The efforts are an outgrowth of the education goals set by President Bush and the nation's governors.
The Education Department, along with other federal agencies and private funders, earlier this year awarded grants for the development of standards in science, history, and the arts. A grant to develop standards in English is expected later this summer.
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has already developed national standards in math.
Education Department officials said the geography and civics standards are expected to be in place by early 1994.
The goals adopted in 1990 state that American students should be able to "demonstrate competency'' in English, mathematics, science, history, and geography by 2000.
To provide a yardstick for measuring that competency, President Bush in his America 2000 education plan called for the creation of voluntary, "world class'' standards for what students should know and be able to do in those subjects.
In the newest round of standards-setting awards, announced last month, the lion's share of the money will go to the project to set standards in civics. The subject was not specifically mentioned in the national goals, but it has received strong backing from the federal panel that endorsed a national standards-setting process.
Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander announced July 1 the award of $505,000 to the Center for Civics Education to oversee the standards project. The grant will be augmented by $200,000 from the Pew Charitable Trusts.
The new standards will be based in part on that framework, said Charles N. Quigley, the executive director of the center.
Mr. Quigley said the standards will be developed over two years and will be reviewed by national panels of teachers, scholars, curriculum supervisors, and professional organizations in the field. The National Council for the Social Studies will also help solicit comments on the standards and will distribute the finished product to teachers.
Federal officials and educators said civics education needs more attention in light of increasing evidence that young people do not know much about their democratic institutions and do not participate in them.
In a similar vein, Education Department officials said they are hoping the $350,000 grant to develop geography standards will upgrade poor student performance in that subject.
The award, announced at a July 22 press conference hosted by the National Geographic Society, will go to the National Council for Geographic Education.
The Education Department is funding the project jointly with the National Endowment for the Humanities, which contributed $30,000 toward the grant. The National Geographic Society, the American Geographic Society, and the Association of American Geographers will also assist in the effort.
The new standards are expected to be based in large part on that framework. It was developed using a similar national consensus-making effort; many of the same people are involved in both projects.
Both efforts are expected to espouse geography teaching that departs from the traditional emphasis on memorizing state capitals or learning to read a map in favor of a broader, more cohesive, and analytical approach to the topic.
The geography-standards panel has already been formed. Among its members are: Gilbert M. Grosvenor, the president of the National Geographic Society; Chester E. Finn Jr., a "core team'' member for Whittle Communications' Edison Project; Christopher Cross, the executive director of the education initiative of the Business Roundtable; Richard P. Mills, the commissioner of education in Vermont; and Gene Wilhoit, the executive director of the National Association of State Boards of Education.
The panel also includes geographers, scholars, teachers, curriculum coordinators, and members of national organizations representing the social studies, civics, the arts, economics, and science.
At its first meeting, held June 30, the arts-standards group discussed the extent to which multicultural education should be included in arts education and the degree to which the arts should be integrated with other subjects in the curriculum, among other issues.
Among the 29 members of the panel are: Gordon M. Ambach, the executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers; Gregory R. Anrig, the president of the Educational Testing Service; A. Graham Down, the president of the Council for Basic Education; Denis P. Doyle, a scholar with the Hudson Institute; Keith Geiger, the president of the National Education Association; Michael Greene, the president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; Albert Shanker, the president of the American Federation of Teachers; and James D. Wolfensohn, the chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The group also includes music educators and business representatives.

Infinite scales of chaos and order.
Hi. The last few times I have done shrooms (approx 3-4 grams dried) I seem to get stuck on the same sort of ideas. Stuck perhaps is not a good word, lets just say occupied. Basically this is the generallization of my jumbled thoughts, and I just wanted to share.
not even exist yet. We are a probability, and a self-destructive one at that.
system that has been steadily working since time (to our understanding) began.
understand the whys and the hows.
creation. I am a grain of sand on an infinite beach. I am.
Soooo... anyways thats pretty much what I wanted to share...any thoughts?
keep the mind working my friends. later.

A final thought and perhaps slightly of topic but sorta connected. kellhus claims to be the warrior prophet and legitimizes sorcery. However whether he is a real prophet is doubtfull and hence sorcery would still be damned if we accept the tusk as true.
I think he was saying at the end of TTT that his new world order involves replacing Inrithism and Fanimry - so he can rewrite the tusk however he likes. Exactly who or what sits in judgement of souls and determines damnation is never made clear though.
I don't think the Dunyain would side with the Consult to avoid damnation, rather because the Outside is a force that cannot be controlled or dominated. As such it is an obstacle to their goal of creating a self moving soul. Also, the entire human population need not be wiped out to close off the outside. So the Dunyain training could proceed as it had before, after all they are almost completely isolated anyway.

forefront in readying early career playwrights toward leadership in our field. The program seeks to engage artists who possess singular voices and who can, with their command of language, set forth imaginative circumstances that entice audiences and challenge current forms. We are interested in students who are eager to learn and grow within a community of fellow artists, with many of whom they will form lifelong bonds.
While the program seeks to engage in many methodologies and traditions of creation, it challenges playwrights to engage in three questions: Why are you writing? With whom are you making art? And to whom are you writing?
Why are you writing? New work is at the center of the School of Drama, where the play becomes the road map with which great collaboration and examination of the human spirit can begin. Students in the playwriting program are asked to keep a sharp and generous eye on what collaborators are bringing to bear. During this process playwrights learn the time-honored practice of collaboration and begin to find new ways of collective creation that evolve forms and strategies of theater making.
With whom are you making work? New work is at the center of the School of Drama, where the play becomes the road map with which great collaboration and examination of the human spirit can begin.

During this process playwrights learn the time-honored practice of collaboration and begin to find new ways of collective creation that evolve forms and strategies of theater making.
To whom are you writing? In the third year, the program culminates in the Carlotta Festival of New Plays. On this platform the playwright has an opportunity to develop work as close to professional practice as possible. At this stage the playwright is asked important questions about connection to audience and community. What portion of humanity are you illuminating or examining, and whom are you inviting to witness, examine, with you? The Yale School of Drama and by default the playwriting program seek to embrace the widest and most intoxicating forms of live storytelling; how then do we embrace the widest and most invigorating audience? Asking playwrights to explore what is standard practice in the industry, we then challenge them to construct strategies for expanding and subverting those expectations, in hopes of creating a path toward a unique and ambitious career.

Purpose: Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer may result in serious side effects, such as hyposalivation, impairing the patient's quality of life. Modern radiotherapy techniques attempt to reduce the dose to salivary glands (SG), which however, results in low-dose irradiation of the tissue stem cells. Here we assess the low-dose sensitivity of tissue stem cells and the consequences for tissue function. Experimental Design: Post-irradiation rat SG secretory function was determined after pilocarpine induction. Murine and patient-derived SG and thyroid gland organoids were irradiated and clonogenic survival was assessed. The DNA damage response (DDR) was analyzed in organoids and modulated using different radiation modalities, chemical inhibition and genetic modification. Results: Relative low-dose irradiation to the high-density stem cell region of rat SG disproportionally impaired function. Hyper-radiosensitivity at doses <1 Gy, followed by relative radioresistance at doses ≥1Gy, was observed in SG and thyroid gland organoid cultures. DDR modulation resulted in diminished, or even abrogated, relative radioresistance. Furthermore, inhibition of the DDR protein ATM impaired DNA repair after 1 Gy, but not 0.25 Gy. Irradiation of patient-derived SG organoid cells showed similar responses, while a single 1 Gy dose to SG-derived stem cells resulted in greater survival than clinically relevant fractionated doses of 4x0.25 Gy. Conclusions: We show that murine and human glandular tissue stem cells exhibit a dose-threshold in DDR activation, resulting in low dose hyper-radiosensitivity, with clinical implications in radiotherapy treatment planning. Furthermore, our results from patient-derived organoids highlight the potential of organoids to study normal tissue responses to radiation.

Connection: This connect to health class because we have been speaking about how teenagers and faculty college students use ways to remain skinny and to fit in. A lot of teens and college students think that this isn’t a significant issue and that they may cease anytime but after a while their physique will become depending on it and it’ll turn into a really unhealthy behavior and a tough one to interrupt.

And…that’s it. You have everything you need to create a Mobile Gobo to control room ambiance and sound reflections. To set it up, create a t-shape from the mic stand and throw a moving blanket over it and there’s your Mobile Gobo. You may consider adding on some clips or clamps to hold the blankets on to the stand.
Being so simple and cost effective you may be skeptical of the performance but I can assure you that these work great. I have used these to great effect to control ambiance and room sound when recording drums and vocals. Hear some finished recordings that I have used these on.
I have used these Mobile Gobos to create a make shift vocal booth for recording vocals and I have used them to surround drums in a very open room to get a drier sounding recording. The moving blankets are perfect for deadening the room and I have used them to create a drum room in my house too.

Camu Camu Berry is a traditional superfruit prized by the indigenous people of the Amazon. These berries are natures richest source of whole food Vitamin C in addition to other antioxidants such as anthocyanins, flavonols and ellagic acid. The concentration of antioxidants gives Camu Camu an incredibly high ORAC value of 3,000 per 1 tsp. 5 gram serving. The ORAC value is a measurement of the antioxidant capacity of different foods.
Mix it in yogurt or oats topped with fruit.
Tastes best with fruity herbal teas.
Prepared using a proprietary Cold Drying Process Not all Camu Camu powders are the same. Many Camu Camu powders are ground up Camu Camu spray dried onto maltodextrin as a carrier or spiked with ascorbic acid. Organic Traditions® offers the highest quality, purest Camu Camu available in the most concentrated form. One tsp. of powder provides approximately 11 times the RDI of Vitamin C or 720mg of whole food Vitamin C, while one capsule of Natural Traditions Camu C provides 75-100mg of whole food Vitamin C. A cold drying process is used so as not to degrade the delicate antioxidants found in the berry. There are no fillers, maltodextrin, ascorbic acid or sweeteners added, just pure concentrated Camu Camu!

Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak– I wanted to read Seven Days of Us in 2017, but there was such a long hold list at my library. Even by January I couldn’t manage to borrow a copy! Seven Days of Us follows one not-so close family’s week together during the holiday season. Give me this & ALL of the Christmas reads please!
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan-I still haven’t seen the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians and I really want to read the book before doing so. Crazy Rich Asians is one of my mom’s favorite series and one I can see myself binge-reading soon.
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith– I received I Capture the Castle for Christmas (featuring Jenny Han’s foreword!) last year for Christmas and it’s about time I read it! While I’m not the biggest classics fan- being forced to read them for school has affected my perception of them-, but I’ve been trying to read more classics on my own. I Capture the Castle seems to be a beloved classic among many of my favorite authors (see Jenny Han), and I think this will be another cozy read perfect for Christmas time.
Reign the Earth by A.C. Gaughen- Thanks to The Wicked King and Kingdom of Ash, I’ve been craving fantasy over the past few weeks. Reign the Earth has earned a ton of love from some of my favorite book bloggers, especially those who are Avatar fans, and I’m excited to dive into this one before its sequel, Imprsion the Sky, comes out in January.
Christmas at the Cupcake Café by Jenny Colgan– Meet Me at the Cupcake Café was one of my favorite reads of 2017. It has such a heartfelt and humorous cast and of course, an emphasis on baking! I’m highly looking forward to reading its holiday-inspired sequel, Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe . Since some of Jenny’s books aren’t available in the US, I was more than happy to buy the UK edition from Book Depository.
What books do you need to read before 2019? Share in the comments!
I just finished the book so I’m looking forward to watching the movie soon! Good luck with your TBR!
Ooo awesome! I just put the second book on hold from my library!

One of the fragrant flowers that one should have in the garden is Gardenia jasminoides. With glossy dark green leaves and dark greyish-brown bark, this handsome plant produces either single or double-petaled blooms that have a lovely scent. Gardenia jasminoides or Cape Jasmine has many synonyms including G. augusta or G. florida and this plant is known as 栀子花/梔子花 in Chinese.
The flowers are white, or off-white that may turn light yellow as the blooms age. Cultivars with blooms that turn yellow rapidly exist, such as ‘Aurea’ or ‘Golden Magic’, thus giving the effect of a yellow gardenia. Once the blooms are spent, they look like wads of tissue paper that had been thrown onto the plant. I did have a friend in university who where puzzled as to why students are so un-civic minded and were throwing used tissue paper on the gardenia hedge that was planted around the faculty building. Only when pointed out that those were the withered blooms of Gardenia jasminoides did she realised what it was.
As the flowers of Gardenia jasminoides age, the petals flatten out and eventually look like a wad of white/off-white tissue paper stuck on the plant.
After the blooms, small oval-shaped blooms may follow, and this fruit is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as to extract a usable yellow dye for food and clothing from it. The yellow colouring extracted from Gardenia fruits is called Gardenia yellow and can be used to colour ice-creams, candies and jellies. Besides saffron, Gardenia fruits represent another rich natural source of crocin, a carotenoid responsible for the intense orange colour of saffron.
The white flowers of Gardenia jaminoides contrast sharply with the dark glossy leaves.
I got the Gardenia as a discarded trimming of the hedge at the university. When the cutting has rooted, I left the pot on the garden (this was in Kajang, and I had a small garden on the front yard). The roots grew through the pot and the pot plant eventually became a tree that birds and even bees made nest in! From this tree, I gave cuttings to several people. Cuttings, especially younger ones, are easy to strike. The plant likes moisture but hates to have ‘wet feet’. Any water-logging (including putting a tray to catch water beneath the pot) would eventually result in root rot and death of the plant.
A pair of Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier) fledgling perched in the cover of a huge Gardenia jasminoides bush. They are perched on a mulberry branch under the cover of the Gardenia leaves.
As Gardenia requires acidic soil, growing Gardenia in soil with high pH would result in chlorosis of the leaves. This is the result of impaired micronutrient, especially iron are impaired under high soil pH. Gardenias love light and usually filtered sunlight would suffice, but established plants can take full sunlight. My old Gardenia ‘tree’ gets a full day’s sun (east – west orientation) and the bush at J & A’s balcony also receives full sunlight. As long as there is enough moisture, a matured shrub would be very happy with as much sunlight as it can get.
The scent of Gardenia jasminoides flowers, despite smelling very strong, does not travel far unlike those of Jasminum sambac. Hence to smell the flowers, you probably got to cut the blooms and bring it in, whereas the smell of Jasmine travels with the breeze well, and leaving a balcony door open would suffice.
Beautiful flower. Some thought cross my mind, is it just coincidence that white blooming flower is usually very fragrant compare with other colours. You know macam bunga jasmine (melur?), kemboja (selalu dekat graveyard), harum sundal malam, ylang ylang,ect.
It is, but due to the white colour, it is very much less appreciated. Yup, sebab terpaksa guna haruman to attract pollinators since it is white and have no attractive colour.
Menarik juga tu since the colour attract less pollinators, it attracts them by scent. Very unique way of attracting pollinators. One always think about the visual beauty (eye) but never thought of the other sensory system that animal possess. Pandai juga plants ya how they evolve.
Yup, plants are amazing...ada yang menarik sang lebah dan rama-rama. Ada pula dikunjungi kupu-kupu, semut, kumbang dan juga binatang seperti burung kelicap dan kelawar.
On top of that, white flowers are normally more fragrant at night. Pollinators of white flowers are night time creatures like moths who can't see a lot of color at night so color wasn't necessary when adapting.
Colorful flowers are supposed to attract day time animals. Because day time pollinators can easily see in sunlight, scent wasn't important. .
The gardenia flowers are lovely and they look like white roses. I'm thinking of transferring mine from the pot to the ground.
Yeah, I just wish that they have more colours. If the pot is large, they should be fine. But they look good as a hedge or a huge shrub too.

Technology has made it possible to work from almost anywhere, which can make spending money on real estate and overhead for a brick and mortar office unnecessary, especially for startups. Virtual offices help people cultivate their businesses anywhere by providing a business address and communication system without the expenses that come with keeping up a physical location.
In addition to financial and mobility benefits, virtual offices also offer added flexibility to keep employees working at the times that best fit their and their clients’ schedules.

The most common reason for a virtual office is for clients to give their business a professional address without the expense of purchasing or renting real estate. It allows customers to feel secure doing business with a professional address and offers the client a place to receive mail.
Customer security: It’s no surprise that customers feel more secure working with a professional-looking business. Having an office address affords the client a legitimate business location that’s usually reserved for larger businesses.
Mail services: Mail services allow clients to receive their business mail at a physical location. Virtual offices also offer mail sorting and forwarding services for business mail.
Another reason virtual offices are in demand is because they often offer professional receptionist and phone service as well. These services and receptionist roles differ among virtual office companies.
Virtual receptionist: Many virtual office companies hire real receptionists who speak to clients’ customers and direct calls to the clients’ businesses. Receptionist duties can include forwarding calls, taking memos and reading from a script provided by the client.
Automated receptionist: Some virtual office companies offer automated receptionist services that answer calls with a recorded voice reading from a script, usually provided by the client. Depending on the virtual office company, this receptionist service may operate at all hours or only after regular business hours are over.
Voicemail: Most virtual offices provide voicemail services for their clients. Voicemail storage or email transcription services vary among virtual office companies.
Fax: Virtual offices also have fax services available. Some even include a transcription service that turns the content of the fax into an email to send to the client.
Many virtual office companies offer physical spaces for rent. From boardrooms for meetings to open-area workspaces, virtual offices can accommodate a range of client needs.
Open-area workspaces: For clients who just need a space to work, virtual offices can provide an open-area workspace for collaborative or individual work.
Private offices: For clients who need a quieter place to work, virtual offices often have lockable private offices and storage spaces for rent.
Conference rooms: Clients can rent conference rooms for business meetings or presentations in a professional setting. These rooms are usually outfitted with projectors and other necessary equipment.
Event areas: For businesses that hold company events, virtual offices can provide a gathering place for parties or conferences.
Renting physical space from a virtual office often comes with certain amenities. Consumers considering virtual office services for renting space should make sure the office contains any amenities required to do their jobs.
Wi-Fi: Most virtual office workspaces offer complimentary Wi-Fi service.
Printing and copying: Many rental workspaces offer printing and copying services. Limits regarding the number of allotted printed pages and options for color printing vary among offices.
Lounges: Most virtual offices provide lounges for a more relaxed, open setting to work.
Kitchens: Some virtual office spaces have kitchens for clients to cook or store food when they come to work.
Another key feature of virtual offices is the flexibility they offer clients. From office hours to scalable package options, having a virtual office that suits changing needs is an important feature to consider.
Office hours: A virtual office allows clients to set their own hours, but services like receptionists and workspace availability often work on a schedule. Potential clients should always be aware of their virtual office’s hours of operation.
Scalable memberships: Most importantly for startups, scalability is a key benefit of a virtual office. Some virtual office memberships allow clients to add more amenities or scale back their memberships to fit their needs.
While consumers should always make sure that a virtual office will fit their needs first, price is still an important final determining factor. Virtual offices offer their services at various price points and payment options.
Customized and tiered services: Many virtual offices offer their services at different price points. Spending more money unlocks access to more premium services. Some virtual offices even build custom plans for clients.
City rates: For clients in need of office space in particular areas, their chosen cities are subject to different rates. Nicer spaces in more popular cities tend to have higher rental rates.
Flat-rates: Some virtual offices are available to use for a flat, monthly rate. These usually include basic functions like receptionist and address services with other services available at additional charges.
Workspace rates: Most virtual offices that offer physical workspace charge by the hour or day. Open-area spaces are generally cheaper than private offices.
One basic function of a virtual office is providing clients with a professional address. This address can be used for receiving and forwarding business mail.
Virtual offices also give clients access to professional phone services like call forwarding and voicemail. Many include receptionists who direct calls to the client’s business.
Some virtual offices offer physical workspaces for rent. These can be open desk areas, lounges or individual offices.
Virtual offices often have physical office locations available for rent for events or meetings. These spaces are often equipped with standard office amenities like kitchens, printing areas, Wi-Fi and more.
When companies first start out, they may not have enough money to invest in physical office space. Virtual offices can be an inexpensive alternative for new businesses.
Companies that do most of their work online can benefit from virtual offices to centralize their calls and mail without paying for physical office space that goes unused.
For people working from home, virtual offices can help clients keep their home addresses private. This option provides a safe alternative for clients who do not want to give their home addresses to customers.
Most virtual offices are marketed to small businesses that may not need or are unable to afford physical office space.
Even multi-million dollar enterprise companies can benefit from virtual offices. Companies with employees who travel often can benefit from temporary workspaces offered by virtual offices.
Virtual offices that offer workspaces can be helpful for remote workers who need a professional atmosphere to be productive.
Virtual offices have a significantly smaller carbon footprint than a physical office. Without the need for overhead, businesses can save energy and money.

Electric fence wire conducts the electric charge from the fence energiser around the length of the fence. Carefully consider your electric fencing needs when you choose the wire you will be using.
There are several types of electric fence wire including polytape, polywire/polyrope and steel. Each of these types has certain benefits and is ideally suited to particular uses.
Polytape is most often used around horses to help the animal see the electric fence and thus avoid contact with it. Woven into the polytape are stainless steel metal wires called conductors. One differentiating point with polytape is the number of conductors that are woven into the product.
Fi-Shock® Polytape comes in two different widths including 10mm and 20mm.
Polyrope is also used in electric horse fencing to help the horse see the electric fence and thus avoid contact with it. As with polytape, wires called conductors are woven into the polyrope.
Fi-Shock® conductors are made from stainless steel.
Good for exposed sites where wind is likely to wear Polytape which has a higher wind resistance.
Poly wire is a good fencing choice for temporary fences as it tends to be more visible than steel wire. It is lightweight thus making it easy to handle, install and rewind when used as a portable fence. It is less durable than steel but well suited to strip grazing and it can be repaired quickly and easily.
This product should only be used with slow moving animals such as dairy cows and is not advised for horses.
The most common and least expensive wire used on an electric fence system is steel or galvanised steel wire. Galvanised steel will last a long time and is very good at carrying the fence voltage.
The wire used for High Tensile is usually usually 2.5mm thickness. A high tensile fence system is ideal for permanent installation particularly for very long farm fences. Although not right for every type of animal or enclosure, a high tensile fence is affordable, attractive, easy to maintain and can last 20 years. High tensile fencing does require some specialised tools for installation and is generally only receommended for installation by someone experienced in handling high tensile wire.
Polytape is most often used for horse or in rotational grazing to help the livestock see the electrified wire.
Polywire can be quite convenient - if you need to move the electric fence, it is easy to roll up and relocate. Rolling up steel wire can be extremely difficult.
Q: Which wire is better for use with horses: polytape, polyrope or polywire?
A: Most people use the polytape with horses because horses can see the tape better than wire or rope. The number of connectors (wire that is woven in) will determine how long the tape/wire/rope will last and what distance the fence can maintain power over.
Polyrope is thicker so it will usually last longer. The benefit of polywire over steel wire is that it can be spooled back up to relocate the fence. Spooling steel wire is almost impossible.
Q: What does “galvanised” mean in the term “galvanised steel wire”?
A: Galvanised steel wire is designed to be rust resistant and is a very shiny silver in color. It is an extremely versatile wire, used by landscapers, craft makers, ribbon manufacturers, tag manufacturers, jewellers, contractors, etc. Its resistance to rust makes it extremely usefulin many situations.

What are Down syndrome tests?
Down syndrome is a disorder that causes intellectual disabilities, distinctive physical features, and various health problems. These may include heart defects, hearing loss, and thyroid disease. Down syndrome is a type of chromosomal disorder.
People normally have 46 chromosomes, divided into 23 pairs, in each cell.
One of each pair of chromosomes comes from your mother, and the other pair comes from your father.
In Down syndrome, there is an extra copy of chromosome 21.
The extra chromosome changes the way the body and brain develop.
Down syndrome, also called trisomy 21, is the most common birth defect in the United States.
In two rare forms of Down syndrome, called mosaic trisomy 21 and translocation trisomy 21, the extra chromosome doesn't show up in every cell. People with these disorders usually have fewer of the characteristics and health problems associated with the common form of Down syndrome.
Down syndrome screening tests show whether your unborn baby is more likely to have Down syndrome. Other types of tests confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
Down syndrome tests are used to screen for or diagnose Down syndrome. Down syndrome screening tests have little or no risk to you or your baby, but they can't tell you for sure whether your baby has Down syndrome.
Diagnostic tests during pregnancy can confirm or rule out a diagnosis, but the tests have a small risk of causing a miscarriage.
Why do I need a Down syndrome test?
Many health care providers recommend Down syndrome screening and/or diagnostic tests for pregnant women who are 35 years of age or older. A mother's age is the primary risk factor for having a baby with Down syndrome. The risk increases as a woman gets older. But you may also be at higher risk if you've already had a baby with Down syndrome and/or have a family history of the disorder.
In addition, you may want to get tested to help you prepare if the results show your baby may have Down syndrome. Knowing in advance can give you time to plan for health care and support services for your child and family.
But testing isn't for everyone. Before you decide to get tested, think about how you'd feel and what you might do after learning the results. You should discuss your questions and concerns with your partner and your health care provider.
What are the different types of Down syndrome tests?
There are two basic types of Down syndrome tests: screening and diagnostic tests.
First trimester screening includes a blood test that checks the levels of certain proteins in the mother's blood. If levels are not normal, it means there is a higher chance of the baby having Down syndrome. The screening also includes an ultrasound, an imaging test that looks at the unborn baby for signs of Down syndrome. The test is done between the 10th and 14th week of pregnancy.
Second trimester screening. These are blood tests that also look for certain substances in the mother's blood that may be a sign of Down syndrome. A triple screen test looks for three different substances. It is done between the 16th and 18th week of pregnancy. A quadruple screen test looks for four different substances and is done between the 15th and 20th week of pregnancy. Your provider may order one or both of these tests.
If your Down syndrome screening shows a higher chance of Down syndrome, you may want to take a diagnostic test to confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
Amniocentesis, which takes a sample of amniotic fluid, the fluid that surrounds your unborn baby. It is usually done between the 15th and 20th week of pregnancy.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS), which takes a sample from the placenta, the organ that nourishes your unborn baby in your uterus. It's usually done between the 10th and 13th week of pregnancy.
Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS), which takes a blood sample from the umbilical cord. PUBS gives the most accurate diagnosis of Down syndrome during pregnancy, but it can't be done until late in pregnancy, between the 18th and 22nd week.
Your baby may get a blood test that looks at his or her chromosomes. This test will tell you for sure whether your baby has Down syndrome.
What happens during Down syndrome testing?
For the first trimester ultrasound, a health care provider will move an ultrasound device over your abdomen. The device uses sound waves to look at your unborn baby. Your provider will check for thickness at the back of your baby's neck, which is a sign of Down syndrome.
You'll lie on your back on an exam table.
Your provider will move an ultrasound device over your abdomen. Ultrasound uses sound waves to check the position of your uterus, placenta, and baby.
Your provider will insert a thin needle into your abdomen and withdraw a small amount of amniotic fluid.
Your provider will move an ultrasound device over your abdomen to check the position of your uterus, placenta, and baby.
Your provider will collect cells from the placenta in one of two ways: either through your cervix with a thin tube called a catheter, or with a thin needle through your abdomen.
Your provider will move an ultrasound device over your abdomen to check the position of your uterus, placenta, baby, and umbilical cord.
Your provider will insert a thin needle into the umbilical cord and withdraw a small blood sample.
Will I need to do anything to prepare for the tests?
There are no special preparations needed for Down syndrome testing. But you should talk to your health care provider about the risks and benefits of testing.
There is very little risk to having a blood test or ultrasound. After a blood test, you may have slight pain or bruising at the spot where the needle was put in, but most symptoms go away quickly.
Amniocentesis, CVS, and PUBS tests are usually very safe procedures, but they do have a slight risk of causing a miscarriage.
Down syndrome screening results can only show if you have a higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome, but they can't tell you for sure if your baby has Down syndrome You may have results that are not normal, but still deliver a healthy baby with no chromosomal defects or disorders.
If your Down syndrome screening results were not normal, you may choose to have one or more diagnostic tests.
It can help to speak to a genetic counselor before testing and/or after you get your results. A genetic counselor is a specially trained professional in genetics and genetic testing. He or she can help you understand what your results mean.
Is there anything else I need to know about Down syndrome tests?
Raising a child with Down syndrome can be challenging, but also rewarding. Getting help and treatment from specialists early in life can help your child reach his or her potential. Many children with Down syndrome grow up to lead healthy and happy lives.
Talk to your health care provider and genetic counselor about specialized care, resources, and support groups for people with Down syndrome and their families.

Child Poverty Action is representing a couple in the High court arguing that the bedroom tax unfairly discriminates against children with overnight care needs.
Susan and Paul Rutherford from Pembrokeshire care for their thirteen year-old-grandson who suffers from a rare genetic disorder Potocki-Shaffer syndrome in a specially adapted three bedroom bungalow which includes a spare room for overnight carers to stay in.
Both of his grandparents suffer from disabilities themselves and struggle to look after him along, so paid carers stay overnight at least twice a week, reports Inside Housing.
Currently an adult tenant with disabilities who needs an overnight carer is exempt from the bedroom tax, however children with disabilities are not exempt.
The charity are arguing that this discriminates against disabled children contrary to article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and that there is no rational justification for the exclusion.
A DWP spokesman said: "We believe we have fulfilled our legal duties with this policy. We have made £345 million available to councils since the reforms came in as we continue to help people make the transition to the new system. The removal of the spare room subsidy is a fair and necessary reform. It will give families in overcrowded accommodation hope of finding an appropriately sized property and help bring the housing benefit bill under control. It would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this time."

After function and size have already been considered properly, it is time and energy to take into account the visual matter. How is your own personal design? How would you prefer the to be? What kind of material do you prefer? What type of sort or shape that you like the most? Think about along with? The matter about fashion and aesthetic are section of personal preference which can be different from one another.
Functions. That subject should be considered first, much more than the model or appearance. Functions go beyond the cosmetic attraction since it is more about the use of the . Could it be essential for you? How are you going to manage without it? What's it for? How may be the position for you personally?
let us maybe not ignore quality although various individuals have different goal stage as it pertains to quality. Many people do not actually mind with poor so long as they can get economical deal. Many people place the standard in the middle level of their priority. Some, but, position quality in the second place following function. For them, quality is essential than the value as it what differentiates a great product from a poor one. As you can see, these individuals have various preferences and goals, therefore it is only plausible if you actually consider your personal preference. When you're preparing to purchase an item of , be sure to actually look into your individual preference. At the very least, speak about it with your family to help you show up most abundant in rational option and option.
Do not minimize all by yourself, and also this consists of the room management. This means you should continue to keep an open area having small fencing while possible. It doesn't mean that you just need not get partition as well as box in any respect, but it surely signifies that it should be maintained small consequently the bedroom will stay open up, extensive, and to some degree positive. A place possesses this particular inclination to check more desirable and also favourable whilst an indoor and also populated bedroom happens to be suffocating along with gloomy. Give it a try by yourself and pay attention to the way it works to get you.
Don't overlook to primary the traffic. Having a free or also large room can produce an emptiness. Nevertheless, having too packed space is not great often maybe not visually or functionally. It's rather understandable if you intend to include your preferred things inside the room, like the but you need to go back to the essential idea again. Think about the major function and use. Look at the position of them within the room. If the item doesn't have any significance or performance, then why should you contain it within the room from the initial position? This basic advice also applies to other areas, maybe not limited by the living room or family room.
Aspect and size. Again, this is yet another matter that should move before model or look. After the function and consumption, you ought to take into account the measurement and also dimension. Have you got enough room to accommodate your ? How may be the furniture planning to put on up? How is it planning to affect the traffic? It could be clever if you can make an educated contrast and also preparation before buying anything. Remember, do not just evaluate the region within the space, but in addition the chance of that that you will position within the room. And do not forget about aspect too. Whether it is trim, slim, large, large, or such issue alike is likely to be established by the measurement and dimension.
In general, managing the and the room structure is not easy. But so long as you keep it easy and you truly know things to accomplish from work, planning the structure can be enjoyment and incorporating in the administration may total the entire show.
You ought to recognize that all sorts of furniture have a unique purpose, irrespective of how big or small. The same also occurs to because of its important application in the living room. As it pertains to choosing the right material, there are several advice and ideas that you ought to think about.
You should know that managing and creating decisions about which to buy (and then include within the room arrangement) is not easy. Many homeowners think that they may handle and manage things until they understand so it isn't as simple because it look but when they do, it's often currently late. The family room is among the crucial areas at home since it holds several important functions and usages in the household bonding and relationship. However, not many persons know that leading them to the indegent choice when it comes to the furniture management.
The next thing to keep in mind is to produce a goal to the larger items. In the case that you are likely to buy a new huge , compare it to the already existing major products in the room. Which one is greater? The larger you ought to come first, followed by another huge issue to small ones. The concept is always to ensure that the item can match within the space and one other smaller parts may help the design and management. It is nearly just like managing the main place nevertheless the major key is approximately the greatest furniture piece in the room. In the event that the item you are going to obtain is smaller, then you definitely must determine it out how to include it within the structure design. Typically, the item can act whilst the compliment of the design.

Don't panic if you spill coffee on your carpet, it can happen to us all! Use these tips to effectively remove coffee stains from your carpet.
Many of us rely on an early morning coffee as an essential part of our daily routine, to help wake up and set us up for the day. But what to do if, in our haste, coffee spills on the floor? Follow these tips on how to remove coffee stains from carpet, and learn how to rescue the situation.
Step 1 Don’t panic, and act quickly. Coffee stains on carpet are easier to remove when still fresh. So act before the spillage dries. Take a clean dishcloth or a paper towel and gently blot the area in order to absorb as much liquid as possible. Careful not to rub too hard and risk embedding the stain into the carpet fibres.
Step 2 Treat the area with lukewarm water (if the water is too hot, there is a danger that it will help the stain to set). Either use a spray bottle to apply the water to the stain, or dab the area with a wet sponge. Then repeat Step 1, using a kitchen towel to blot the excess liquid.
Step 3 These two steps alone may be sufficient to get coffee stains out of carpet. However, if the mark is more stubborn, use of a cleaning product should do the trick. Carpet shampoo can be used but, if you have none to hand, any non-bleach detergent or washing powder will do. Always test any product in a small area first, and read the directions on the label before proceeding. Simply add a quarter teaspoon to a litre of warm water, dip a cloth or a paper towel into the solution, and then apply to the area. Use the back of a spoon to massage the solution into the affected area, working from the outside of the towel in, in order to avoid the risk of spreading the stain. Then return again to Step 1, blotting to remove excess moisture.
Step 4 Once the cleaning solution is applied, the treated area needs to be rinsed. Use a spray bottle or a sponge to apply clean water to the area, before repeating the blotting process, until the cleaning solution and the stain are gone.
Step 5 Almost there! The final step is to ensure that the area is left dry. Place a clean, dry cloth or towel over the area, and a weight on top, in order to apply some pressure. Then leave for a few hours, until the area is completely dry.
For extra effect, add vinegar to the water at Step 2. The acetic acid will react with and loosen the dirt from the fibres. Remember to test this solution on a small area of the carpet first, too.
If the stain proves to be particularly stubborn, form a paste made of baking soda and water, spread it onto the stain, leave to dry, and then vacuum away the residue.
If your carpet is of a sensitive material and you are not confident about using the above tips to remove coffee stains from carpet, consult an expert before proceeding.
Remember, act fast and blot to remove coffee stains! For the most effective results, tackle the stain before it can set, and never rub the affected area – this could make it worse! Keeping this simple tip in mind will ensure you’re prepared next time you spill coffee on the carpet!

In our old courts, all we needed was the previous attorney to motion to withdraw (if they wouldn't do a substitute) and it would automatically be granted with a filing of an appearance by another attorney.
I have seen it happen and usually the judge wants a full accounting of where the money went or otherwise makes the inference it was to hide the money from the other spouse for the divorce.
And yes, if they don't cough up the money (they could be ordered to turn it over including making up any amount deducted for taxes and paying all the taxes on it) a judge will usually order alternative compensation for the injured spouse.
In China we could ask the court to order the money be placed as bond with the court.
And I have been on both sides, getting and giving the accounting (though in my case, my client only took half the money out of the savings account as she had almost no income and needed money for attorney fees, security deposit etc so we were perfectly in the clear even though the spouse had a fit.
Think of it sort of like if you take out something on credit knowing your going to be declaring bankruptcy next week. It's a no no.
Here, I would do discovering that developed when she hired her attorney, when she met with the attorney, when she signed the divorce papers, when the money disappeared and when it was filed.
Even more so since China is a community property state. The above all goes to intent and motive. Or in other words, she took the money in contemplation of getting around the divorce rules thinking that if it's not there they can't get to it.
3 wrongs makes a right, his arrest of her was just because the other 2 in the court room didn't try to stop him.
Really is that the standard for arrests today. Not that there was no law broken, no probably cause, or the fact that the arrest was retaliation for her complaining about your own wrongful conduct, but whether or not anyone tried to stop you from arresting them.
Depends on if the other party is represented or not. If represented, it is more likely to settle (depending on the attitude of the opposing counsel, etc.). Self represented litigants are very hard to settle with. They just don't know what they can get in court and what they can't. I have seen a pro se tell a judge what they wanted in terms of visitation, the judge saying they would not order that due to the age of the child and ot suggest someone else. The pro se still insisted on his schedule so we had a hearing. Guess what? He didn't get his schedule.

A. I think we’re likely seeing the markets try to break out here. I do think it’s possible we go into an outright stock market bubble in coming quarters, but it won’t be obvious and it won’t be easy getting there. And of course, we could also crash as this bear market rally fizzles out as you surmise. Again, it’s better to have just bought Apple at $7 or Google at $95 or F5 at $20 or Nuance at $12 than it is to try to game whether the broader markets are going to bubble or crash. The good stocks and great investments will work out over time.
Who says markets can’t go up during a recession anyway?
A: I rarely short options. What’s the point? You can lose infinite if the trade goes against you and you can only make up to 100% if the trade works out. That said, there are times when I do think it makes sense because the set up is steady-betty action but you don’t think there could be much upside from the levels you’re looking at.
Q: Many pundits like J. Cramer and Dan Niles saying to avoid tech stocks like Alcatel, Micron, Sirius and Level 3 till later in the year. Your thoughts? A: I can only tell you that I would prefer that EVERYBODY else you read and listen to tells you to AVOID every stock I am long and to BUY every stock I am short. Contrarianism is a way of life. Ha (sort of ha).

Sniff Test: Are Designers Neglecting Smell?
Sissel Tolaas, researcher and artist for the SMELL Re_searchLab in Berlin, speaking at the 2019 Fortune Brainstorm Design conference in Singapore.
The researcher and artist told the audience at Fortune’s Brainstorm Design conference in Singapore this month that smell actually has a fairly narrow biological purpose.
Smell is closely linked to memory and emotions. Tolaas made use of this biological quirk at the conference by distributing postcards with a unique odor to help the audience members remember the event.
Even so, she said, smell is a forgotten, neglected sense. People underestimate the impact of particles that the human nose can detect.
Tolaas has held a number of interactive exhibitions at galleries around the world, often aimed at encouraging people to look past appearances and consider how smell colors their perceptions of others.
“Rather than just looking at a person, the smell is providing information that trigger your emotion in the quickest time of any type of senses,” she said.
Not everything Tolaas does is an art project; she hopes her work will have practical applications, too. For example, Tolaas designed a bracelet designed to ward off sexual harassment using an odor intended to deter an attacker.
Designers tend to focus on visual elements, but smell has a fairly long history of industrial applications. Natural gas, for example, is odorless—but in 1826, scent was added so that people could detect potentially dangerous leaks.
Tolaas hopes her work will also have many uses beyond art.

The National Museum of Energy and Technology (MUNET) is one of the most important institutions to be formed in Mexico in the last fifty years. Its mission is to educate and initiate interest in young adults to pursue educational programs and career opportunities in the energy and technology sectors. FR-EE’s design draws inspiration from the forms of manifested energy at the macro-scale of galaxies and solar systems and the micro scale of atoms, neutrons and protons. Lines of energy converge within the interior void of the building to highlight and emphasize one of its signature experiences: a floating sphere lifted by magnetic force. This central void becomes the focal point of the site and the geometric origin of the design.

She told me this as I was attempting to compose myself by drinking a glass of cold water. Why? Because…THERE.WAS.A.SNAKE.IN.THE.HOUSE. Yes, there was. Although I am not quite sure what kind of snake it was, I do remember it being black-ish, almost a ruler and half in length and probably just about as thick as a ruler too. It was GROSS.
Since then, I have disliked snakes in fear that they would open their big mouths and swallow me up whole. I remember my brother once commented that I needn’t be afraid ’cause I wasn’t a chicken and a snake couldn’t possible swallow me whole. Yeah, right. Then there came this news bit that said a snake ate up a child somewhere in the jungles of India I think it was. See, it can swallow people.
Of course, along with snakes came the despise for its “cousins”, the reptiles, as well as amphibians. So, NO, I do not like crocodiles and alligators, frogs and lizards. They are simply GROSS. I don’t know if it’s fear of the creatures or just weirdness on my part. I JUST DON’T LIKE THEM. PERIOD.

When the Winnipeg Jets play host to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night time, the assembly shall be greater than a show off of the Central Department chief in opposition to the league’s top-scoring line. It’ll be a glimpse of a decade-long transformation of Finnish hockey.
Patrik Laine of Winnipeg, 20, and Mikko Rantanen of Colorado, 22, have spent a lot in their younger N.H.L. careers a few of the league leaders in scoring, gaining a focus for a golden technology from Finland, some of the smallest, and maximum a hit, hockey-playing international locations.
“That age crew in Finland, there should be one thing within the water or they’re feeding them the proper issues up there,” mentioned the Winnipeg captain, Blake Wheeler.
Seven avid gamers from Finland, a rustic of five.five million, were height 10 draft alternatives since 2013, and the majority of them are gambling important roles on their N.H.L. groups.
Laine, the No. 2 pick out in 2016, virtually straight away turned into essentially the most recognizable face in Finnish hockey since Teemu Selanne. In spite of some lean scoring stretches this season, Laine has been some of the league’s best possible goal-scorers during the last 3 seasons. In November, he scored 5 targets on 5 pictures in a recreation in opposition to the St. Louis Blues and he turned into the fourth-youngest participant to achieve 100 profession targets.
The spotlight of that month for Laine used to be the N.H.L’s go back to Finland, the place he notched a hat trick after which any other target in a couple of video games in Helsinki in opposition to a fellow Finn, Aleksander Barkov, and the remainder of the Florida Panthers.
Rantanen, the No. 10 pick out in 2015, has reworked himself into some of the league’s savviest and maximum imaginative playmakers. With 75 issues, Rantanen is fourth within the N.H.L. in scoring and has blended with Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog to assemble 206 issues, tied with Calgary’s height line for essentially the most of any trio.
Two Finnish avid gamers, Selanne and Jari Kurri, have led the N.H.L. in targets throughout a standard season, and each are within the Corridor of Repute. However at the back of Selanne and Kurri in profession issues in keeping with recreation by means of Finnish avid gamers are 4 energetic contributors of the N.H.L., they all beneath 25. They’re Laine, Rantanen, Barkov and Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes.
N.H.L. season. He has adopted a trail very similar to that of Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, decided on 8th in 2013.
Finland’s upward thrust is obvious in global play, too. In January, the Finns earned the gold medal on the global junior championship for the 3rd time in six years, after profitable it best two times within the 40 years ahead of this run.
Neither the nationwide crew’s luck nor its avid gamers’ prolific totals within the N.H.L. are coincidental. Starting in 2009, Finnish officers made substantial investments and sweeping adjustments that gave higher continuity to participant construction. In 2014, after a disastrous under-18 global championship match that integrated a 10-Zero loss to its archrival Sweden, the Finnish federation held a wide-ranging summit that emphasised particular person talents like skating, puck-handling, taking pictures, stability and power coaching.
Kurri, a former normal supervisor of the nationwide program, described the previous fashion for luck.
Finland did produce a technology of remarkable goalies, together with winners of the Stanley Cup and the Vezina Trophy like Miikka Kiprusoff, Antti Niemi and Tuukka Rask. However now netminders have taken a again seat to skaters.
Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne, 36, mentioned that the emphasis on particular person talents and the provocation of avid gamers’ imaginations thru publicity to the N.H.L. has produced essentially the most considerable and numerous crop of Finns ever to emerge in professional hockey.
The frame of mind is converting for defensemen, too, as Heiskanen and Ristolainen have no longer best logged large mins however have additionally performed with aptitude.
Jere Lehtinen, a former Dallas Stars proper wing and the overall supervisor of Finland’s nationwide crew, mentioned that each and every win, each and every medal and each and every a hit Finnish N.H.L. participant reinforces trust and raises expectancies for successive generations. His technology, which received medals on the Olympics and global championships, instilled self belief that video games have been winnable without reference to opponent, circumstance or ranking.
The Finnish pipeline presentations no indicators of drying up. Proper wing Kaapo Kakko is predicted to be a height five pick out within the coming draft in June.

When approximately 50% of the people in the USA realized that their future fate is now in the hands of a socialist bent on aggressively redistributing their wealth, gun sales exploded across the country. In the debates when Mitt Romney was using energy industry deregulation for creating jobs, all President Obama had to do was to say "re-elect me and the demand for guns and ammunition will do the same thing". In reality, President Obama, other than for political reasons, has recently stated to the press that he believes that we need to take common-sense measures that protect Second Amendment rights of Americans, while ensuring that those who should not have guns under existing law do not get them". If President Obama sticks to this statement I can live with it, but if a liberal Senate and a liberal Supreme Court takes the anti-gun stand, we all better be prepared to hide our guns.
At the same time as President Obama was making his acceptable gun policy statement, the "Wicked Witch of the West", Dianne Feinstein, was busy at work meeting with the ATF to discuss her proposed BRAINLESS BANS on semi automatic tactical weapons, ammunition and magazine limits. Sen. Feinstein's recommendations would bring about a huge and dangerous black market for guns and ammunition, just as it did in prohibition times and with the sale of marijuana. Always available at a higher price and just another thing to send thousands of people to jail for.
You see folks, Ms Feinstein firmly believes that it's the gun that kills and not the person shooting the gun. This is because of her unmitigated devotion to the San Francisco gay politician Harvey Milk who was gunned down by a former city servant who blamed Milk for his problems. Feinstein felt that Milk would still be alive if guns were not available (go figure). Most of us agree that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is wrong and that one look at that ugly woman's face would make the average person run to their gun dealer for the biggest baddest gun they can find.....she be bad, she be soooo bad.
All kidding aside, the problem with mentally ill persons buying guns and ammunition is a much bigger problem and to stop it the FEINSTEIN WAY would be to totally ban and make gun ownership and ammunition illegal in the USA. Of course with approx. 500 million handguns or more now in private hands, you might have to create gigantic prison camps to house the tens of millions of new criminals. So HOW do we solve the problems created by undiagnosed people with BIPOLAR DISORDERS buying and owning guns? The horrific gun disasters in Arizona, Va Tech and Colorado all had one thing in common: Young men with undiagnosed bipolar disorders were allowed to buy guns and then reek havoc upon society. Do you think that Dianne Feinstein and the Brady Bunch could have stopped this tragedy? Certainly their are many other ways to kill people en masse if guns are not available (check you history books before guns). All sorts of ways to create bombs out of detergent, crossbows, knives, grenades, molotav cocktails, claymores , out of control automobiles etc. can be made by the crazies in absence of available guns. The reason the use guns is because it is easier and we all know that too, but again, it is not the method of killing, it is the killer with a mental problem. While nothing is 100% effective, the best way to solve this problem is to catch the problem at an early age, like when a teen applies for a driver's license.
As a person nearing the age of 70, I am now aware of the need for more eyetests and medical tests that make sure that older persons are safe on the road. When a person of 16 years of age applies for a drivers license, they have to take a written test, a driving test and an eye test, but they can be a nutty as a fruitcake and still obtain a drivers license. There are many forms of mental illness but the most dangerous and misunderstood mental illness is BI POLAR DISORDER which can take many different forms in young people and get even worse over time if not treated medically. I've had two close encounters with bi-polar people and both were not good. One was a former employee who we thought only suffered from a hot temper (the road rage type guy). He would simply go off on the deep end, smash things, buy things he couldn't afford and pick fights over little or nothing. Some of these flash encounters ended up with the police and some jail time, several family blowups and eventually job loss and divorce were the end result. He died unexpectedly at 45 years of age last week and while his death was mourned by his children, his memories carried mixed feelings by many friends and relatives who knew him well. The other was a son of a close friend of mine who flunked out of college but faked enrollment for a year or so before he smashed up his new Mercedes and the truth all came out. He moved in with his dad and was under the care of a psychiatrist. One day my friend came home and the son was sitting the dinner table set for four people with food and drink. His son was have a conversation with three EMPTY chairs. A month or so later the son went insane and began smashing things. Then he threatened to kill my friend and his girlfriend when they told him to calm down. They barricaded themselves in his bedroom while the son (who is a small guy) was out of his mind with anger and displayed the super strength of a wild animal while trying to break in the door. Police came and took him away. Now I know this past experience took some time to read and to digest BUT DO YOU THINK EITHER OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD OWN A GUN? Both of these two young men suffered from serious bipolar disorder, the same mental disorder as the killers who caused the mass killings of Arizona, Colorado and Virginia.
What needs to be done is to introduce a STANDARD NATIONAL COMPETENCY TEST which would be designed to expose levels of mental instability and bipolar tendencies. Depending on the scores, a 16 year old applying for a drivers license would either pass the test and move on, but if all or part of the test resulted in failure, the remedies would range from taking anger management courses to visits with a state licensed psychiatrist. To buy a gun you have to have a driver's license and this of course would keep a lot of potentially dangerous people away from guns which in my opinion is a much better way to control the problem before it gets worse.
"Our nation is reactive. We need to make a transition to being preventative. And I'm on talking about personal responsibility though most of the damn population is too busy or too lazy for that."

While Nexternal already does a top-notch job of optimizing the online shopping experience, there are still some things within your control that can improve the likelihood of shoppers making a purchase in your store.
Some web page designs include beautiful but enormous header images. While these work for branding your website, they only serve to push your product list down in an online store. Visitors need to see your products, without having to scroll down. If a shopper does not immediately see products, they might leave without giving your store a backwards glance.
While we read from left to right, the human eye naturally falls to the right side. This means the right-hand column is valuable real estate. It’s why Nexternal defaults to displaying the shopping cart–and its checkout button–there. Try not to clutter this space with things that aren’t vital.
Since users can’t pick up the things you are selling to examine them up close, good product images are vital. If it’s electronics, users will want to see what ports are available, or what color the display is. For clothing, you’ll want photos of the front and back. Even better if it’s on a model. You’ll want zoomed-in details for jewelry. Blurry or pixelated images are a turnoff and make you look unprofessional.
While Nexternal does its best to optimize store loading, it has little control over the size of the images you’ve uploaded. There is a 2MB limit to image file sizes, but you also want to make sure they’re not ALL 2MB each. You want good quality images, but appropriately sized. For example, thumbnail images should be significantly smaller than main product images. Not only are shoppers impatient, page speed also plays a role in Google search rankings.

Jakarta, Wednesday, July 27, 2017 – The Board of Trustees of the Ramon Magsasay Award Foundation has on Thursday (27/7) in Manila, the Philippines, made an announcement that Abdon Nababan has been selected as the laureate of the Ramon Magsasay Award 2017 for the category of Asian Community Leadership.
The Indigenous Peoples Alliance of Nusantara (AMAN) has warmly welcomed that Ramon Magsaysay Award 2017 is awarded to Abdon Nababan. The so-called Asian Nobel Prize was officially announced on Thursday, July 27, 2017.
The Ramon Magsaysay Award made a statement that Nababan is a leader who can bring about changes. His courage and advocacy have become the voice and face for the Indigenous Peoples Alliance in Indonesia.
Nababan is the leader of the Indigenous Peoples’ struggle in Indonesia, even before the reform era. The five-yearly congress of the Indigenous Peoples Alliance of Nusantara appointed Nababan as a Secretary General to AMAN, in two consecutive periods, namely 2007-2012 and 2012-2017. Nababan now serves on the National Council of AMAN 2017-2022, representing the Sumatra regions.
“I am happy and proud as I represent tens of thousands of people who have been struggling with me over the last 24 years for the indigenous movement in Indonesia,” Nababan said. He claimed that he had no knowledge at all of who proposed his name and how the selection process of this Ramon Magsaysay Award was made.
During his leadership period, AMAN’s works could give positive contributions to the struggles for the Indigenous Peoples rights in this country. They are among others decision by the Constitutional Court No.35 / PUU-X / 2012 concerning Indigenous Forests, the inclusion of indigenous territories on the map as a thematic map by the Geospatial Information Agency, and the National Inquiries by the National Commission on Human Rights on violations against the Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the forest areas. AMAN has also actively encouraged and facilitated the Draft Law on Indigenous Peoples (RUU MA). The bill is now at the hand of the House of Representatives’ National Legislation Program for 2017.
Still, in his leadership period, AMAN ensured the inclusion of six points related to Indigenous Peoples in the Vision and Mission of President Joko Widodo (known as NAWACITA). The most obvious result is the handout of Decree on Recognition of Indigenous Forest to 9 Indigenous People by President Joko Widodo at the State Palace by the end of December 2016.
Rukka Sombolinggi, Secretary General to AMAN for the period of 2017-2022, said Nababan rightly deserves to be the laureate of this award. “Leading organization as big as AMAN through the transition period for changes from confrontational to engagement strategy could only be made possible by a visionary leader with a strong strategy for making a change, and Nababan has proven the quality of his leadership,” Rukka said on Thursday (27/07).
The Ramon Magsaysay Award is an annual award given to the inspiring leadership which can bring about change. Some of the laureates of the award were the 14th Dalai Lama in 1959, Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) in 1993, and Syafi’i Ma’arif (Muhammadiyah Central Board) in 2008.
This annual award is awarded by the Philippines-based Ramon Magsaysay Foundation. This year’s award presentation ceremony is scheduled for August 31 in Manila.

Typhoon "Lan" made landfall at Shizuoka Prefecture, some 175 km (110 miles) southwest of Tokyo at 18:00 UTC on Sunday, October 22, 2017 (03:00 JST, October 23), side-sweeping the capital, bringing heavy rain and wind gusts up to 198 km/h (123 mph). The typhoon caused power outages, extensive flooding, landslides and left 7 people dead and nearly 100 injured. Some 500 flights were canceled Sunday and another 350 on Monday.
Lan brought more than 400 mm (15.74 inches) of rainfall in the 48 hours to Sunday evening in Wakayama, Mie, and Kagoshima prefectures. The city of Shingu in Wakamaya saw over 700 mm (27.55 inches) of rainfall and some parts up to 888 mm (34.96 inches) within 48 hours.
Hundreds of homes were flooded and at least 4 people have been killed, according to reports received by 12:00 UTC today.
The victims include a man who was hit by falling scaffolding, a fisherman tending to his boat, and a young woman whose car had been washed away by floodwaters. Another casualty was left comatose by injuries and a man was missing. Around 130 others suffered minor injuries, Reuters reported.
Rivers burst their banks in several parts of Japan and fishing boats were tossed up on land, the agency said. A container ship was stranded after being swept onto a harbor wall but all 19 crew members escaped injury.
Some 80 000 people in Koriyama, a city 200 km (124 miles) north of Tokyo, were ordered to evacuate as a river neared the top of its banks, NHK said, but by afternoon water levels were starting to fall.
Over 350 flights had been canceled Sunday and another 350 on Monday. Train services were also disrupted, with some express trains departing and arriving Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station and Nagoya Station canceled.
By Monday afternoon the storm had been downgraded to a tropical depression and it was in the Pacific, east of the northernmost main island of Hokkaido, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
Before the typhoon dissipated, it claimed lives of 7 people and injured nearly 100.

Also, LG V40 camera is going to equip triple 20MP+16MP+5MP rear sensor and a dual 13MP selfie snappers. As a result, Nokia beast gains our vote for better optics department. Furthermore, Nokia Maze Pro 2018 battery rocks a large non-removable 7000mAh juice box. On the other hand, LG V40 comes with a smaller 4200mAh energy box. Since both run Android Oreo 8.0, Nokia keeps dominated the battle today with a bigger battery box.

As for the cost, the Nokia Maze Pro 2019 price is $580 ~ Rs. 37, 785, and LG V40 ThinQ price is around $833 ~ Rs. 56, 264.

This past weekend was the Miami dog show at Tropical Park. It is a small show, but close to home and therefore we were able to have a great set up. My mom and her friend brought in three of those 10 x 10 tents and set up a huge station. One tent for the dogs and grooming, one for food and drinks, and the last tent for chairs. We were lakeside and it was really nice.
The objective of the weekend was to finish two dogs in particular. We did! I was busy showing: Portuguese Water Dogs, Tibetan Spaniels, Xoloitzcuintlis, Australian Shepherds, and a Cane Corso.
We finished the PWD and the Tibbie on Saturday. The xolo is a Special already, and the Aussie is still learning. I went to the Group ring with the Tibbie which is always fun. On Sunday, I also went Breed with another Tibbie and then to the Group ring, which I was pulled out but did not place. Still exciting.
I have also resumed Agility training with Q, my buhund.

A good follow up to that would be: How many effective churches have additional staff (full or part time, volunteer) to take burdens off the pastor?
Good comment Ian. You and Les have raised some good questions. It sounds like the Effective pastor has a good staff to assist him along with an administrative assistant. It seems like we are all effective however, if we are where God has placed us and we are doing what he has called us to do. I also imagine all of us have a desire to live out Acts 6:4.
Dr. Rainier, you started with the basic premise that evangelism and consequent church growth is the identified measurement for “effective” pastors. As one with a doctoral degree, you are aware that research is determined by researcher bias. If you started with the health of the congregation as that which determines “effective” pastoral leadership, you likely will conclude that 33 hours in pastoral care is far more significant than 10 hours per week. Even more telling, the “effective” pastor spends 44 hours with his family and sermon preparation, equally divided. 44 hours is more than a full-time job, spent in self-actualization. So what really is his job? Is that the measurement for a Pastor, Shepherd? In giving your results, you are responsible for also sharing the bias of your premise, and hence the exclusion of other considerations in your pre-determined conclusions.
Let the Lord bless the work of the faithful Laborer, who understands his and her calling, and blesses God for the results of that ministry. Your research actually uplifts the faithful work of Pastors who care for their flock, but without your giving them credit for being effective in their assigned ministry. Thank you for highlighting the good work of the Evangelist; while becoming open to allow Paul, Silas, Stephen and James to do their assigned ministries, with equal regard.
A question I have as a young pastor is how do you communicate to your church that you need help with all the extra responsibilities so you can become more effective? Do you automatically begin to make the adjustments or do you give the church the opportunity to see that you need the help and then after it is noticed by the church make the adjustments? The question is posed because some churches assume you are a lazy pastor if you aren’t doing most of the ministry.
One way to communicate this is through a mutual ministry review (evaluation but that’s not what a mutual ministry review is about). In essence, you and the Parish leaders talk about your shared ministry: what is expected from each order (lay and clergy), what strengths are exhibited by both orders, and most importantly where support is needed to become more effective in the mutual ministry of the leadership.
In my denomination, Episcopal, it is helpful that my ordination vow expresses the denomination’s expectation of the priest. While I am still a new minister (4th anniversary as a priest in December) I have more than 22 years of experience as an senior leader in the military so job delineation and description is easier for me to stand behind.
Officer, Pastor/Priest Ferguson, thank you for identifying the need to credit and communicate with the various forms of ministries that God ordained.
Every church should have a good Ministry of Helps team. Pastors need to teach and train their people what Ministry of Helps is. There are many examples in the New Testament of the Ministry of Helps. This Ministry of Helps will help the Pastor and the church run sufficient and orderly. There are many good resources out there. I hope this helps.
The problem, as I have seem so many times, is that the pastor will not appoint enough leadership staff for fear of “loosing control”. I fully support a pastor-led church, but never a pastor-controlled church.
Well written article but I think this article can also be misleading and disheartening for many pastors. The dynamic you describe, at least in my denomination, means that the church has at least 2 clergy on staff, employs at least 2 paid office personnel and has a number of other volunteer staff members. That doesn’t mention the paid minister of music.
How do these measures of effectiveness translate to the majority of churches today that have less than 150 members (and most likely less than 80) with an average Sunday attendance of 50-75 or less? As the lone clergy with one volunteer staff person who works 2 days a week – these measures don’t apply in my context. I am the only person in the building all but 2 days a week so if I don’t open and close the doors they don’t get opened and closed, etc.
I think it would be helpful to define the context in which these statistics apply so newer clergy don’t get misled to believing they aren’t being effective in their context.
It is vital to a Pastors health, his family, and his church that there be regular (I choose weekly) evaluation of how your time is spent. As stewards of time, are we using it wisely?
I find as I evaluate that I spend more time than I should on administrative tasks, but as with all healthy evaluation, you learn from it, and set goals/ accountability to improve in the future. It also helps those in a smaller context to note the areas in which they can train up new leaders, to free the Pastor up for the Ministry of the Word and Prayer.
We are going to be held accountable for our time I know. But when we start comparing our churches to each other, I do not believe it is realistic. Naturally the pastor with a larger church, with staff personnel which will include janitors, paid Music Ministers, people to help with visitation, hospital visits, and a Youth Director will free up the pastor, so that pastor will naturally fit into your model. Some of us do not have these luxuries. My Youth department starts at age 65. We average about 65-70 people a week. When the toilets need to be fixed or cleaned, I do it. When the doors need to be opened, I do it. I mop, clean, turn on light, and adjust the heat and air. I spend at least 20-30 hours a week in sermon prep. I just feel like we (small churches) are always looked down on by the larger churches (kind of like the Pharisee when he prayed and said “thank you Lord that I am not like that sinner.” as he prayed with his head held up high). I thank God that He has put me where I am. I know that I am in God’s will and that He placed me where I am for a reason. I want to be faithful and obedient to Him. I know that I don’t fit into your perfect model and that I am not a mega church with multiple sites. This is not what God has called me to do. Plus I refuse to be like the world to reach people (this is a whole different subject I know).
I completely agree with your above comments. For those of us who do pastor a small church, there are more tasks we do. What is really so bad about turning off the lights? Unless you are at a very large facility where it takes 30 minutes to make the rounds. I flip four switches, all next to each other. Wow I just used up 30 seconds of my time. Also, the age of the congregation will dictate how much pastoral care time is needed. Young congregations ( I am generalizing here) do not seem to care much about pastoral care where middle age to older congregations do. The quote “leaders see that things get done” I find grating. I do not have an assistant, youth, or music pastor, secretary, janitor, or my favorite a “research assistant”. Sometimes it can be delegated and sometimes I am the one who needs to do it. Why the disdain for people who need more sleep, “sleep almost 8 hours a night.” If I slept just over 6 hours a night by day five I would be a zombie. I need 7 and a quarter hours of sleep. Not sure how that makes you more effective, unless you are saying two more hours a day automatically makes you effective. Finally, I enjoyed your Pharisee sinner comparison. I have never thought of it that way, but yep, I sure feel like the small churches are looked down upon, which is a shame considering 75 is the number I hear quoted as the typical size of a SBC church. I am grateful and encouraged at what God is doing in His small churches around the world.
22 hours of sermon prep WITH a research assistant????? What exactly are they doing?
I am a layman in a small SBC church. And I am the music director, Sunday School Superintendent, Sunday School teacher and I chair the Nominating committee. In a smaller congregation, lay leaders take on 1 or more responsibilities to allow the Pastor to do what God had called him to do. To pray, study, and prepare the saints for the ministry.
We are all in the ministry and we are all ministry assistants.
I have read all the current comments and I think they are mostly good. But it seems to me that the whole purpose of this article is to report what pastors have said about how they spend their time and to encourage them to do and be what God has called Pastors for.
Rejecting out of hand what brother Ranier has said seems to me to be a bit harsh. Just as a Pastor, our ministry assistants are doing what he suggests.
I would like some help understanding what “five hours sharing the gospel with people” looks like. For example would that be going :door to door”, to church visitior, community service, neighbourhood service or what?
I appreciate the work that went into this article, as I believe we can learn from one another regardless of the church size or configuration. From the sounds of the responses here though, it looks like many more articles need to be written about the dynamics of the small church. I’m a small church pastor myself (under 150). With the way our society has adopted an anti-religious bearing, small, nimble, flexible, and affordable church will probably be the way of the future anyhow. If the rest of you guys don’t have paid staff, etc., hang on. You’re probably going to be the in-crowd pretty soon.
All healthy entities do one of two things; they grow, and, when they reach full maturation, multiply. I don’t believe a church that is not growing numerically or helping to plant other churches constitutes a healthy congregation. The most telling statistic to me in the article had nothing to do with the number of hours spent on sermon prep vs cleaning toilets, but the fact that churches that are growing by reaching lost folks are led by a pastor who is himself actively engaged in personal evangelism to the tune of five hours per week, vs zero hours per week for the stagnant church’s pastor.

When it comes to President Trump, you can always count on the mainstream media to make mountains out of molehills. Everything that Trump says and does is portrayed in the media as either an evil act of injustice or a world-ending decision.
MSNBC claims that Trump’s tendency to fire officials in his administration more frequently than any other President has made the White House a hostile work environment. However, President Trump has also faced more internal opposition than most any other President as well. Finding officials who support his policies and vision for America has been a challenge, and many people have been fired along the way.
For a man whose claim to fame is the line “you’re fired,” this hasn’t been a huge problem. For the leftist media that sees everything as an act of violence, though, Trump’s mission to find the perfect team of officials to work under him is portrayed as an act of terrible evil.
To learn more about MSNBC’s absurd accusation that President Trump is guilty of workplace violence, be sure to check out the video below.

Those of you who are tuning in to hear the press coverage of the Ontario budget today may be wondering what the impact will be of the Public Sector Compensation Restraint to Protect Public Services Act, 2010 on your members and your collective agreements.
The Liberal government is being deliberately vague in its explanations but there are several things that we think we know at this time. First, the immediate compensation freeze only applies to “non-bargaining” public sector (and broader public sector) employees. Although assurances were given to the OCUFA representatives in the lock-up that this part of the legislation would not apply to any of our members, we will re-confirm when the actual legislation becomes available (there will be a Public Sector Compensation Restraint Board that will have the authority to determine whether employees are covered by the legislation).
The second part of the legislation will deal with employees covered by a bargaining agreement. It appears at this time that there will be no legislated freeze on compensation in renewal agreements. The government will “work with transfer payment partners and bargaining agents to seek agreements of at least two years’ duration that do not include net compensation increases”.
OCUFA will be putting out a full analysis of the budget and its implications, and we will obviously be seeking more clarity from the government on its intentions with respect to collective agreements, as well as the definition of “non-bargaining employees”.

I am falling in love with the Sweet Melissa Baking Book. Each recipe we've made so far has been delicious. This week's shortcake is beyond delicious; it's moist and tender and not sugar-y sweet.
Dave was in Monterey last week-a major strawberry growing area. And, since strawberries are being harvested now, there are fruit stands all over the place. I asked Dave to bring home some berries, and he bought a whole case-12 pints! After giving away some of the fruit to my neighbors, I saved some for this recipe and froze the rest. It will be lovely to have strawberries later in the year when they are no longer in season.
This recipe is really easy to make. The dough comes together in just minutes, and you don't need to bring out the mixer or food processor.
they look fabulous! The strawberries are so red and fresh.
Your shortcakes are gorgeous! YUM!
Thank you grey and Cristine!
That's one thing I really miss about California - all the fruit stands! Well, that and the beach!
Megan- California does have amazing fruit. And, great beaches!
Your shortcakes look yummy. I miss Monterey. I haven't been there in ages (I grew up in San Jose). The strawberries look amazing.
Wendy- I love the Monterey area, and I especially love Mendocino.
Thanks! You picked a great recipe.
Love the pink sugar! My dough certainly didn't come out like yours, was really wet. Your cakes look terrific.
Thank you Mermaid! This recipe worked well for me, but I usually have the hardest time with anything to do with custard or meringue.

It may be a local story involving the president of the school board and a local credit union, but it could have an effect on Wisconsin state politics.
In January, it was reported that authorities in Menomonie had arrested Gerald P. Fahl, on charges of attempted solicitation of a prostitute. At the time Fahl was both president of the local branch of the Westconsin Credit Union as well as president of the Menomonie School Board.

Please note: many of these answers only apply in new york.
Q: My husband refuses to give me a Get. What can I do?
A: If your husband is refusing to give you a Get, you can go to a beis dein of your choosing. They will issue a hazmonah (summons) for your husband to appear in the rabbinical court. If your husband fails to appear after three hazmonot, the court will issue a seruv holding your husband in contempt, which can impact his standing in the community. If your husband remains unwilling to give you a Get, you can contact the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot (“ORA”), which uses lawful means to put pressure on your husband in his community, such as contacting his employer or staging a rally to draw attention to his refusal to give you a Get. Also, if your husband is the Plaintiff in a civil divorce or has counterclaimed in a divorce action you have filed, you can ask that he sign an affidavit swearing to remove the barriers to your remarriage, which will be incorporated into your divorce. If he refuses to sign, the court can take this into consideration when ordering alimony or distributing the marital property/assets. If he signs the affidavit and then still fails to give you a Get, you can file a motion for contempt.
Q: I was just served with a summons for divorce. What should I do?
Fill out the form and make three copies.
– Send one copy to the opposing party (your spouse) and your spouse’s attorney, by certified mail, return receipt requested.
– Take two other copies to the County Clerk in the Supreme Court where the divorce was filed. Take the Summons with you as well. Give the clerk one copy of the Notice of Appearance and the slips showing that you sent a copy to the opposing party and attorney. The Clerk will file the Notice of Appearance. Ask the Clerk to date stamp your other copy and keep it for your records. Then you wait for the opposing party to serve you with additional documents.
Q: I was just served with a summons for divorce, but I do not want to get divorced. What should I do?
A: One spouse is able to divorce the other spouse even if the other spouse does not want to get divorced. This means that your spouse is able to divorce you whether you want to get divorced or not. See above for information on how to respond to a summons for divorce.
Q: I would like to get a divorce, but I don’t have money to pay an attorney. What should I do?
A: 1) If you and your spouse agree on all of the issues arising out of the divorce (such as the distribution of assets and debt, custody/visitation of the children, child or spousal support, or orders of protection) and no one has filed for divorce yet: you may file for divorce by filing the uncontested divorce package that is available in the Supreme Court of each borough for free as well as online at www.courts.state.ny.us/litigants/divorce. There is a booklet which explains the forms, how to fill them out, and how to file them with the court. If the income of the spouse who files for divorce is low, he/she may ask the judge to waive the court fees, which are $285.00 in total. To do so, ask the clerk for an Affidavit in Support of Application to Proceed as a Poor Person and the Poor Person Order and fill them out.
2) If you and your spouse do not agree on the issues arising out of the divorce (such as the distribution of assets and debt, custody/visitation of the children, child or spousal support, or orders of protection) and no one has filed for divorce yet then your divorce is contested; an attorney is often necessary. You should call your local Bar Association for an attorney referral. If you cannot afford an attorney, the Supreme Court may appoint one for you but only on the issues of custody/visitation of the children and orders of protection. You are not entitled to a court appointed attorney to handle money or property issues.
Another option if you cannot afford to hire an attorney might be to resolve issues such as custody/visitation of the children, child or spousal support, or orders of protection in the Family Court located in your borough and file a petition for free. The Family Court may also appoint an attorney for you for custody/visitation of the children or an order of protection. However, only the Supreme Court can grant the divorce, distribute the assets and debt, and award occupancy of the marital residence.
Q: I would like to get a divorce, but I do not want my spouse to know where I live. What should I do?
A: In order to get a divorce, it is necessary for you to put your address on the Summons with Notice, which your spouse will get a copy of. However, in cases of domestic violence, you may file for address confidentiality, so that you do not have to put your address on the Summons with Notice, or any other court documents. Before filing the Summons with Notice, ask the clerk for an Order to Maintain Plaintiff’s Address Confidential and a Request for Judicial Intervention.
You are entitled to a free court-appointed attorney on custody or visitation matters if you cannot afford one. You should bring proof of your income, or show that you do not have income.
Q: I need custody of/visitation with my child(ren). What should I do?
A: If you want custody of/visitation with your child(ren), go to the Family Court in the borough where you or the other parent live and file a petition for custody or a petition for visitation. In your petition, you need to explain why you are fit to have custody/visitation of the child(ren). There are no filing fees in Family Court. The Family Court may appoint an attorney for you on the issues of custody/visitation. For more information about custody or to obtain court forms, please go to http://www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/nyc/family/faqs_custodyandvisitation.shtml.
You are not entitled to a free court-appointed attorney on support matters.
Q: I need child support. What should I do?
A: If you have custody of the child(ren) in question, you are the custodial parent and you may file for child support from the parent who does not have custody (non-custodial parent). Go to the Family Court in the borough in which you or the non-custodial parent live and file a petition for Child Support. There are no filing fees in Family Court.
Q: My financial circumstances have changed and I need more child support than what was ordered by the Family Court. What should I do?
A: If your financial circumstances have changed (i.e. you have lost your job) and you need more child support than what was ordered by the Family Court, go to the Family Court where the support was ordered and file a petition for an upward modification of the order. In your petition, you will need to explain the financial circumstances that have changed since the Family Court ordered the support.
Q: My spouse is not paying the child support that the Court ordered. What shall I do?
A: If you are in the middle of the case then you should inform the Judge, and file a violation or enforcement petition in the Court in which your case is proceeding. If your case is over, then you should file a violation or enforcement petition either in the Court which ordered the support, or in the Family Court. Bring a copy of the order with you.
It is recommended that you speak with a lawyer or advocate before filing for an order of protection. They can help you write the petition and discuss safety planning with you. Once you file a petition, you are also entitled to a free court-appointed attorney to get an order of protection if you cannot afford one. You should bring proof of your income, or show that you do not have income.
Q: How can I obtain an Order of Protection?
A: If you are related to the abuser by blood or marriage, or you have had an intimate relationship with him/her, you can go to the Family Court in the borough in which you or the abuser live, or in the borough where the abuse occurred. Go to the Petition Room and tell the clerk you need to file for an order of protection. In the petition, you will need to describe the first incident of abuse, the most serious incident of abuse, and the most recent incidents of abuse in the form the clerk gives you. Your description of the incidents of abuse should use as much detail as possible (such as the approximate date of the abuse, the words the abuser said, the specific parts of the body that the abuser injured, and other details) and should always specify whether you called the police, whether the police wrote a Domestic Incident Report, whether the police arrested the abuser, whether you suffered any injuries, and whether you received medical treatment.
At the end of the petition, you will need to specify the type of relief that you would like the court to provide. If you live with the abuser and you do not want the abuser to live in the shared residence any longer, you will need to ask the court to exclude the abuser from the home. If you do not live with the abuser but want the abuser to stay away from you, you will need to ask the court to order that the abuser stay away from you, your home, and your workplace. If you do not want the abuser to stay away from you, you are able to ask for an order of protection that says that, while the abuser does not have to stay away from you, the abuser must refrain from committing any family offenses against you.
If you need help filling out the petition or need help obtaining other services, like shelter, go to the Safe Horizon office located in the Family Court. You can also call the Domestic Violence hotline at 800.621.4673; TDD 866.604.5350.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. The police have to arrest the abuser. You will also get a Domestic Incident Report. If he/she is arrested, the police take the abuser to criminal court and the District Attorney may file a case against him/her. At that point you will likely get an order of protection from the Criminal Court.

I hate being the bearer of bad news....the homemade candy cane tradition is a Disneyland exclusive. I can't swear that it won't ever get to Disney World because Disney is a master at surprising its Guests. Right now, no new information regarding this has been released.
You can still enjoy delicious treats made at Walt Disney World in Florida! Their fudge and candy apples are spectacular!

In this part we discuss tenants. We configure the default tenant, and explain why you might need more than one.
Every vRealize Automation installation comes with a default tenant. A tenant is an organization unit inside vRealize Automation, and can either represent a business function in the enterprise, or an organization in a service provider environment.
Each tenant has it’s own configuration, although does inherit system-wide configuration settings too. vRA supports both single and multiple tenant deployments.
During the installation of vRA a default tenant was created during the Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration stage. During this stage a system administrator is configured ([email protected]), and is used to create and configure other tentants if necessary, as well as system-wide settings.
The default tenant is the only tenant that supports the use of native Active Directory authentication. All other tenants must use Active Directory over LDAP or OpenLDAP authentication.
In our deployment, we will be using the default tenant. Business functions making use of vRA will be classified into Business Groups, which we will cover at a later date.
Click the group that appears to add it. In the Infrastructure administrators search box, type IaaS Admins and press return.
Click Test Connection to verify your configuration works, and then click Add.

What’s happened here is that any arrays in my data structure have been stringified twice. This didn’t happen in my dev environment. I narrowed down the differences and realised what was causing this effect. They’re using Prototype. We’re not.
A toJSON method does not serialize: it returns the value represented by the name/value pair that should be serialized, or undefined if nothing should be serialized.
If the value has a toJSON() method, call it.
If a replacer function has been given, call it.
If the remaining value is a scalar, return it.
So, stringify() has already called Prototype’s toJSON() method by the time it executes the replacer function, but we can use the replacer function to restore the original value, allowing stringify() to then deal with the array by calling itself recursively.
The result is that we can ensure that even if a toJSON() method does exist on the Array object, its output is ignored, and we then get the JSON string that we wanted.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the common denominator among all cutting-edge technology you will find today. With tech giants, businesses and government leaders focused on advancing AI, what was once reserved for the realm of science fiction is now available for everyone. As we prepare to witness a significant advancement within the AI space in 2018, here are the AI trends on our radar!
Ask any AI researcher what one of their long standing goals are, and language recognition will likely be their answer; after all, it’s the way we communicate. As natural language generation and algorithms understand us better, the way we communicate with machines will continue to shift towards voice recognition. Just last year, Amazon decided to focus their efforts on training Alexa to recognize speech patterns that can help detect suicidal tendencies. More developers will focus their efforts on conversational technology, specifically affective computing (or emotion AI) which will put an emphasis on emotional sensitivity, as well as machine translation technology.
Using AI for medical research, diagnosis and treatment will also be significant in 2018. Artificial intelligence will facilitate everything from data mining, analysis of medical records, identification of cancerous cells to spotting anomalies in medical images using image recognition algorithms. Moreover, AI robotic assistants such as virtual nurses, who will be able to recognize warning signs, are soon to become a vivid reality. In London, Google’s DeepMind Health Project is mining through digital scans and medical records from Moorfields Eye Hospital to better diagnose eye diseases – and this is just one example!
In 2018, tech powerhouses such as Intel, Nvidia and IBM will race to determine whowill create the ultimate hardware to dictate the AI hardware landscape. Research and Markets predicted that the global AI chip market will grow 54.25% by 2021! New chips, with specialized hardware customized for machine-learning algorithms, will make modern deep learning significantly cheaper, faster and more powerful. Who do you think will sit atop of the AI chip throne?
Technology has also seamlessly integrated into our everyday retail spaces. Did you know a number of large retailers have started to use offline data to learn everything about our behavior and preferences using AI? In Amazon Go grocery stores, for instance, you are required to set up an Amazon account and download the Amazon Go app. Sensors are placed on shelves to track which item you pick up and measure how long you hold it for; beacons are also installed to track our movements in order to get a holistic sense of what we are doing in the store. Through this data, Amazon will get a better sense of our preferences and motivations, so that maybe one day it can just auto-order our groceries for us!
Although AI is improving at a rapid pace, the market is becoming monopolized by companies like Microsoft, Google and IBM, who provide AI and machine learning solutions through a centralized model. This is problematic because of unfair pricing and a lack of transparency; we don’t know how AIs are working in the background so we lose control of the content we consume. The good news is that we have an emerging decentralized AI market!
Basically, decentralized AI can do similar things as a centralized AI network, but these AI could be utilized on local devices or applications without the cloud. Apple have just introduced CoreML, a machine learning framework that can be implemented into any app; CoreML makes it possible for IoT devices to run complicated AI algorithms. These complex algorithms include special features like face detection and language identification.
Facial recognition is becoming a hot topic worldwide; it works by identifying individuals through a massive database of digital images. By combining AI with millions of pictures of our faces, mathematical representations called embedding could be created of our appearances. Just during the recent Chinese New Year, police forces in China were using high-tech sunglasses to scan travelers and captured seven wanted criminals! According to Professor Michal Kosinki from Stanford University, AI can eventually detect whether a person is straight or gay. Sounds crazy right? Apparently, characteristics of our faces can identify our political view, IQ level, and even personality!
Expect a whole new generation of intelligent apps based on cognitive computing, AI and Deep Learning. These apps will be able to create functionalities by themselves,without developers explicitly coding for it; they will also be able to make better recommendations, detect fraud, enable smart search and abstract huge amounts of data. One great example is Movix – an intelligent web application that uses AI to learn what your favorite movies are. By giving the algorithms a few of your favorite movies, it will be able to suggest movies that you will most likely love!

Many mountain biking enthusiasts compete regularly with teams in tournaments not just across the UK but also in continental Europe, and sometimes even further afield. As with most team sports, the competition can be intense and when combined with the challenging conditions that often go with biking, there is a significant risk of injury. Insure4Sport's mountain biking teams insurance can mitigate some of that risk, guarding against from personal injury and third-party claims.

We all have our favorite stores and brands- ones that we love the design, color and cut of items. The awesome thing is that so do tons of other people. And when those people lose or gain weight and their clothes don’t fit them anymore or they decide the color or cut of a shirt doesn’t flatter them guess where it ends up: that’s right friends- the thrift store.
Think of how many times you’ve bought something that looks good on you in the dressing room only to get home and realize that it isn’t that great. You were in a rush or your friend convinced you that it really looked good when you didn’t actually feel comfortable in it. You intend to return it, but then life gets busy. Finally you stuff it in a bag with other items you don’t wear any longer and drop them off at the thrift store. And this is where you can benefit from women across the country who do this everyday.
There are certain brands that always look good on me and other brands that never seem to fit properly. Levi’s and Gap jeans fit me better than Target’s Massimo jeans because I’m not built like a 12-year old girl. I always shop thrift stores for jeans because they have a ton of them in lots of styles and brands. You can even go hipster with the retro-highwaisted, button fly, colored pair like my husband recently tried to convince me to wear. Sorry honey, not my style.
Usually I look for Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Gap, and Target dresses or skirts because it is typically basic enough that I can layer it with other things to make it more of a personal style with color or accessories. Nothing super fancy, just core items I can build an outfit from.
I’ve also found much higher end labels at thrift stores- and this is where you can really score big time saving hundreds of dollars on typically pricey items. Check out this cute Diane Von Furstenburg dress I found in a Pittsburgh thrift store for $3.50. I know these aren’t the greatest pictures but hopefully you can still see the fun cut of the sleeves and the tiny polka-dot print.
A dress like this normally retails for $200-300. And I ended up getting a much nicer dress for my money because I knew it was a great find! My husband also found this insanely gorgeous canary yellow Versace dress at Goodwill for $20.
Since I know what to look for at thrift stores I often bypass random labels and brands I’ve never heard of (unless I’m looking for a certain item, like a pair of basic black pants). You won’t always be able to find a particular shirt or dress that you’ve been eyeing in a store, but you can find one that is similar from a label you like.
What stores do you typically shop at? Is there a go-to brand for you that you love for their jeans, dresses or tops? What has been one of your best name-brand finds at a thrift store?
I’m at ahh with your Versace dress find?!?! WOW! I have looked at goodwill for jeans and i always find SO many brand names. I wish i could remember the brand i got but they are in the washer right now haha.
I love these Thrifty Thursday posts! Especially since I decided to get back into thrifting recently. One of my most complimented skirts is a mint midi I found for $0.50 at a garage sale in Michigan.
I was at Goodwill today and found a BCBG dress for $3.00, but it was too small. Oh well. Maybe next time!
Jess! I have to say that I am really enjoying these thrifty Thursday posts. Thank you so much for sharing your thrifting knowledge and wisdom. I have been getting more into thrifting over the past few years and want to pursue this more. I am currently sitting here wearing a really great floral tank top that I found at goodwill last year for 3 bucks! So! I will be trying to follow you here and glean some of your fashion savvines!
In answer to the questions above, I love American Eagle Jean’s-especially the stretch artist style. I used to swear by Hollister until they kept raising their prices. These brands just fit me well. As far as my favorite stores for shopping, I love styles from New York and Company, Banana Republic and have gotten some good finds from LOFT by Anne Taylor. I like to copy these looks with less expensive clothing/thrifting finds. I am just starting to figure out how to better layor and accessorize and recently invested in a whole bunch of cheap jewelry from forever 21 with hopes of jazzing up some outfits that would normally look plain. I am trying to build my accessory skills! Thanks for all the good tips.

From northeast Ohio to southwest Ohio, increased use of natural gas is proving a major benefit to consumers, businesses, taxpayers and — most importantly — the environment.
Over the past two weeks, news has broke that three major Ohio job creators — MillerCoors Brewing, Wright Patterson Air Force Base and Cleveland Thermal — have invested more than $34 million combined in converting their boilers to natural gas. By doing so, 94 buildings in downtown Cleveland will be heated by shale gas and Cincinnati motorists are expected to save $44 million in fuel costs. And for the first time in 10 years, southwest Ohio will be in attainment of air quality standards, all thanks to fracking.
On the other side of the state in Trenton, Ohio, MillerCoors Brewing Company has made similar business decisions. Ohio’s largest brewery spent more than $10 million switching their boilers to natural gas in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce overhead costs. As a result, the company reported that its greenhouse gas emissions decreased 37 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions dropped 88 percent and sulfur dioxide emissions decreased 96 percent last year.
During the same period of time, Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton completed its multi-year conversion to natural gas as well. The switch to natural gas is expected to eliminate 1,000 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions, 200 tons of nitrogen oxides, five tons of particulate emissions and 290,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the base proudly announced it would meet Clean Air Act regulations while saving $2 million a year in fuel costs, again demonstrating the win-win for the environment and for taxpayers who ultimately fund the base.
MillerCoors and Wright Patterson Air Force Base’s shift to natural gas has resulted in another major win for the greater Cincinnati, Dayton and Springfield areas, where motorist will see a 12 cent reduction in gas prices this summer. This is a significant change of events, as for the last 10 years motorist in this southwest Ohio have paid more for gas in the summer due to the region’s poor air quality.
Cincinnati has long been a target of air quality woes but now — thanks to the use of natural gas from fracking — the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has announced that the region is finally in attainment of ozone regulations.

requirements: Minimum Requirements for BGS You will need at least a 486dx 50Mhz PC with Windows 3.1 or Windows 95(more RAM required). You'll also need at least *7-8Mb* of free RAM and a video card that supports SVGA resolution (640x480@256).
History: It was Grant, commanding the Union Army of Tennessee, and Buell leading the Army of Ohio against Johnston commanding the Confederates. The battle took place northeast of Corinth, Tennessee with the Union army of Grant with the river at their back and Johnston attacking. Thereafter, a church named Shiloh in the center of that battlefield would be remembered for a very long time.
Company line: Battleground 4: Shiloh returns TalonSoft's critically acclaimed Battleground series to the age of the American Civil War! A spectacularly rendered battlefield highlights this momentous and bloody struggle, which some have called the beginning of the end for the Confederates States of America. Battleground 4: Shiloh covers the two days of April 6-7th 1862, where the Confederate Army, commanded by Albert Sidney Johnston, launched a bold surprise attack against Grant's Union Army. Lavish attention to detail, gorgeous graphics, and full color re-enactment video blends into an exciting extravaganza of true Multimedia entertainment!
Plot: You can take the role of Confederate or Union forces. The game concerns itself with three battles, Shiloh on 6-7 April, 1862, Wilson’s Creek, Missouri on 10 August, 1861, and Prairie Grove, Arkansas on 7 December, 1862. The battle includes an 80 turn campaign option which may take an entire weekend to resolve.
Artificial intelligence (AI): AI can form up its troops and put up a good conservative defense, but is pretty bad on offense because it seems oblivious to battle objectives. Unit placements and reinforcements can be random as in the hot-seat version or historical as you prefer.
Interface: Control of units is improved over previous games especially in the planning and movement of troops. Screen display shows the battlefield at the top with two rows of eleven vertical command icons suspended over the battlefield on the left. At the bottom of the screen the active units are displayed along with the intelligence of how the battle is progressing.
Graphics: The graphics are very attractive with greens and browns accentuating the blues of the units and water. The trees and textures are rich and attractive. The screen zooms and still appears attractive in close view with pictures of little trees and buildings. Units are shown on a bed of blue or brown gray with details allowing you to tell their function, like the cannon units and gunboats that look like what they are.
Voice actors: Full motion video sequences of re-enactors help move the battle along.
Music score: The music of Bobby Horton is appropriate and fitting for the use in this product. It is a wonderful soundtrack.
Comparisons: Strategic Simulations Group’s Battle of Shiloh for the Commodore 64 which is now a little out of date.
Multi-player: You can play play by electronic mail (PBEM) and two people on one computer with fog of war options.
Help: A 48 page manual and online help summarize events leading up to the battle and the results of the battle so that gamers will not be lost.
Scott Udell, Computer Games Strategy Plus, issue 71, October, 1996, pg. 69, 4/5, (80%-90%).

Now for something totally different !!.
I have a pair of dogs. Recently, while he was out running loose, the elder one managed to lose his collar.
Since the pup was also outgrowing her puppy collar I decided it was time she moved on to her adult collar and to make up a pair of matching collars for them.
So I went to the local suppliers, LePrevo Leather <http://www.leprevo.co.uk/>, and bought one 2 inch and two ¾ inch straps of a good leather along with four ¾ inch brass “D” rings, two 1 inch brass “O” rings, some copper rivets and two brass trigger hooks.
Once I had the materials next thing was to measure up. What I intended to make was a pair of martingale collars and for these I needed an accurate measure of the dogs neck size, his lordship measured up as being 16½ inches and her ladyship was 14 inches.
Allowing for the size of the “D” rings this meant that his collar leather needed to be a 14 incher while hers was to be 12 inches to allow her room to “grow into it”.
The dogs are a pair of standard poodles, poodles are a long-necked dog and as such I prefer them to wear a broad “fishtail” type collar so next step was to mark out the 2 inch strap for this and cut it to the required shape.
A cutting template was made from some stiff card and transferred to the leather, which was then cut to shape using a Stanley knife fitted with a new blade.
Next a “D” ring was slipped over one of the “tails” and the “tail” doubled over it. This now needed to be fixed in place and there are two options here, you can stitch it in place or you can rivet it place, as these collars are for a larger dog and have ¾ inch wide “tails” stitching is a better option, for a small dog, and so a narrower collar, using ½ inch “D” rings then in preference I’d rivet it.
Leather is not as easy to sew as fabric is and it needs to have the needle holes pre-punched, you can’t just push a needle through two thicknesses of leather. What is needed here is a “pricking iron”, this looks a bit like a fork and is used to mark out and pre-punch the leather.
Once the thread holes have been pre-punched then it’s just a case of using an awl to open and line up the holes’ and then running the needle through.
When sewing leather it is normally done using two needles, one on each end of the thread, so you then run the other needle back through the other way and pull the thread tight and that’s the first stitch made.
Then you just run the awl through the next holes, follow it with the needles and so on till that stitch row is completed.
For security a second row of stitches was run across the “tail”, a bit nearer to the “D” ring.
That meant the first “D” ring was now in place and all I had to do was stitch up the other three and I had the collar main bodies finished.
This “spare length” was cut down so as to give two straps, each ¾ inch wide by 20 inches long and one of these was slipped through both “D” rings on one collar.
As this loop was to be riveted closed, a small hole was punched through the strap length, about a ½ inch from either end and another hole a bit over 1¼ inches from one end.
The strap was now slipped through one of the 1 inch “O” rings, the strap end doubled over the ring. A rivet was then put through all three holes and “set up” to secure it in place.
All that was now left to do was to make up a slider to go over the strap loop and secure it.
all that was now left to do was to finish her ladyships collar as well.
To complete the “sets” I needed leaders to go with the collars.
For these I had the two strap lengths of ¾ inch wide leather.
I just slipped one end through the loop on one of the trigger hooks, doubled it back on itself and stitched the loop closed. As with the “D” rings I used two rows of stitching to secure it.
To form the handle I doubled the opposite 9 inches of the strap back on itself and secured it in place with another two rows of stitching and that was the leader complete.
The idea of these “martingale” collars is that if the dog pulls hard when walking on lead then the collar is pulled a bit tighter round his neck, but, because from the way it is made it can only “pinch down” by about 1 inch on a 16 inch collar so it is uncomfortable to the dog rather than choking it.
It is not meant to be worn continually, it should be kept along with its leader as a set, the pair being put on when the dog is taken out and then removed, as a pair, when you get back home.
As long as the slider is run up to near the “D” rings the dog can be allowed to run loose “off lead” while wearing it since the slider holding the loop closed means the dog cannot get his foot caught in the open loop.
