A few days ago, I was feeling a little bit down. I had been going through a job recruitment process that tested me in a way that well clarified my intentions and desires in terms of the kind of employment relationships I want to create in my life. That is, I desire an employer that values my time just as much as they expect me to value theirs in the recruitment and interview stage.
During the interview stage, if I took a day to think about something, I would let these people know. If I had to create a sample of work for them, I had a deadline to follow. In return, however, I was given no timeline or expectation for when I would hear back regarding their decision. In the days following, I received many Linkedin notifications of the same two people from the company looking at my (empty!) profile multiple times without any contact to give me any type of feedback. I decided it was enough and withdrew from the process.
Part of the experience is due to the fact that I cared so much about this job. I was really excited. Before choosing to submit my candidacy for the role, I took time to research the firm and really think about whether I could see myself doing the work. I could—really well!

The divisional chief minister in Mandalay is facing negligence charges after a fire broke out at his home last week.
MANDALAY — The divisional chief minister in Mandalay is facing negligence charges after a fire broke out at his home last week.
According to police, the fire at Chief Minister Ye Myint’s home was caused by an overheated surge protector connected to an air conditioning unit. A case was opened by police in Mandalay’s Aung Myay Thar San Township on Wednesday.
“Since the minister is the head of his home and the most responsible person for the fire at his home, police filed a case against him,” said a duty officer who requested that he not be identified by name.
“The penalty for his negligence will be known only after the court hearing,” he added.
Police say the fire broke out around 8 pm on Saturday and affected parts of the two-story house’s first floor. Damage was estimated at 1.1 million kyats (US$1,145).
Authorities’ handling of the incident has been widely criticized, however, by Mandalay residents who have questioned why it took so long to bring charges against the minister or make information about the fire publically available.
On the same night, a fire at the Mandalay Hotel, located in the city’s busiest market area, inflicted about 4.2 million kyats’ worth in damages. The next morning, police announced the loss and charged the owner of the hotel with negligence.
Mandalay’s hot and dry climate makes the city particularly fire-prone and residents are mindful to take precautionary measures as a result, adding an element of public anger toward a perceived delay in the police’s response to the minister’s house fire on Saturday.
Security personnel assigned to Ye Myint also reportedly interfered in emergency crew efforts to extinguish the fire and prevented journalists from taking pictures or recording video of the blaze. A photojournalist with The Irrawaddy was told he could not photograph the scene of the fire, with no explanation for the prohibition provided.
Security guards at the minister’s home reportedly stopped some firemen from entering the compound because the emergency responders were not wearing full uniforms.
The chief official of the division that includes Burma’s second-biggest city last made national headlines in late January, when his convoy was hit by an explosive device that injured two people. Ye Myint was not harmed in the blast.

Mac McCorkle runs a bar and helps out his partner, who is a agent with the CIA.
When McCorkle took his life savings and began to open a small pub in Bonn, Germany, after being discharged from the army, he wasn't looking for a partner. That didn't stop Mike Padillo from dropping in, handing him a check for half the value of the place, and telling Mac he could either accept the offer or see the opening delayed forever in red tape.
Knowing he really had no choice, McCorkle accepted gracefully, albeit unhappily. To his credit, Padillo, forced by his own superiors to make the extortion, had the decency to be embarrassed.
So began the partnership between the two men, one that would quickly turn into a life-long friendship. Mike Padillo worked for the government (probably the CIA). When not on assignment, he helped run the bar, which grew over the years in success and made both a considerable amount of money. But every couple of months, he would show up, tell McCorkle he'd be gone for a while, and a week or a month would go by with him gone.
Such was the basis for the series which probably was never meant to be one. The ending of the first book made it pretty clear that was it. Then the book won for Mr. Thomas an Edgar for the best first novel of 1966. I'm sure that's when the publishers began to demand a sequel.
The sequel came the next year but this time Mr. Thomas apparently withstood the pressure for more and used his incredible talent on other ideas. Six books, including three in a different non-spy series followed before the pair of McCorkle and Padillo were heard from again. And then it would be 19 years more before the last in the series was written.
Through the years, the two unwavering qualities of this series remained the close friendship between McCorkle and Padillo and the terrific writing skills of Ross Thomas.
McCorkle discovers that his friend and partner has been sacrificed by his superiors in an exchange with the Soviets to get back two defectors. He realizes he is the only one willing to risk it all for Padillo.
Happily married and living in Washington, McCorkle would have been happy to meet his old friend Padillo if McCorkle's wife had been kidnapped to force Padillo to kill someone.
Long out of the game, both men are less than anxious to help protect the future king of a country rich with oil but Padillo owes a huge favor to the ones doing the asking.
The death of a CIA agent didn't raise too much of a fuss until it is learned he wrote a tell-all book which someone wants buried, possibly along with the agent's son who might have it. The son asks Padillo and McCorkle for help.
A fellow spy-fiction fan and friend of mine was almost jumping for joy when he got his hands on "The Backup Men" in 1972-3, shouting, "They're back! McCorkle and Padillo!" You would have thought I'd slapped him by his expression when I asked, "Who?"
After having the first book literally thrust into my hands later and reading the first few pages, I knew I'd never have to ask that question again. I was as hooked as my friend (thank you, Bob Walker, wherever you are!).
It isn't hard to understand why anyone who likes spy-fi would love this series. Mr. Thomas's skill as an author are without a doubt. The man won TWO Edgars. Most writers don't win any. He had two. And deserved them both handily.
Furthermore, the characters are awesomely interesting and developed, the style is both exciting and wry, the locales are perfectly presented, and the plots just make sense. What more can you ask for, except more adventures.
Unfortunately, Mr. Thomas' passing makes that impossible but I like to believe that McCorkle and Padillo are still out there, serving drinks and saving the day.

Alyssa and Rob tied the knot on October 13th at the beautiful venue Cielo at Castle Pines.
We had begun the day by getting all of the girls ready at a family friends home near by the venue, which was a blast! Alyssa's bridal party was so sweet, calm, and organized, they were ready to roll for a day full of fun!
We slowly trickled down the line of hair services to get everyone ready for the day ahead, which consisted of five bridesmaids, two mothers, one jr. bridesmaids, and of course the stunning bride herself!
All of the girls sports some sort of messy textured updo, some garnished with a braid, and for any of you who know me these are my FAVORITE!
Take a peak below to see how stunning this wedding was on a beautiful fall October day!

A touch strategy is about taking responsibility for sustaining the relationship by communicating on a regular basis in a meaningful way. It’s not about ticking a box or gaming the system. Or is it?
A Newspaper ran a story on 10 Brilliant Customer Service Exchanges on Twitter. Eight were not good publicity at all. How does Social Media impact our reputation?
Which is more important? The internet of things or the Internet of people?
Why do some sales people insist on holding onto the clients who cause the most grief and give so little in return? Wouldn’t you love to be someone like Alan Sugar and say, “You’re fired!”?

Toiling to resolve their populist tendencies with artiness, ‘Resistance Is Futile’ might be the most emotionally honest Manic Street Preachers album yet.
It’s perhaps fitting for a band as multi-faceted in their identity and approach as the Manic Street Preachers that the title of their 13th album, Resistance Is Futile, should have such an ambiguous meaning. In the context of the political upheaval of the last few years, is it a call to arms to confront changing times, or is it an acceptance of defeat in the face of it? There hasn’t even been any hard clues as to the band’s intentions going forwards, with songwriter and chief spokesperson / propagandist Nicky Wire describing Resistance Is Futile as “either a new era or the end”.
Of course, the Manics have been in this kind of sentimental territory before with 2010’s Postcards From A Young Man, which was billed by Wire as “one last shot at mass communication”, but this is a band that’s always reserved the right to contradict itself. The It’s possible to see Resistance Is Futile as the third creative re-grouping of the Manics’ career, after the disappearance of their talismanic songwriter Richey Edwards forged the defiant Everything Must Go and the prospect of irrelevance sparked the glorious re-birth of 2007’s Send Away The Tigers.
But where those two triumphs were born out of tragedy and necessity, Resistance Is Futile comes off the back of a very successful and creatively fertile period for the Manics. After the consecutive glories of 2013’s pastoral, folk-influenced Rewind The Film and the fearless, European artiness of 2014’s Futurology, two very different records, there doesn’t seem to be any external compulsion for Wire’s existential attitude this time around, other than the long-term future the Manics see for themselves. Perhaps it’s the 20th anniversary The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go tours (not to mention the pretty hilarious Wales Euro 2016 anthem…) that’s brought this on, but it now seems to be a question of what the Manics want from themselves, all now a year away from their fifties, as opposed to what others might expect of them.
Both musically and thematically, Resistance Is Futile seems to be attempting to reconcile two contradictory versions of the Manics that they’ve flitted between in various stages of their long career: the one looking optimistically towards the future, of rousing anthems and fearless rhetoric, which brought us Everything Must Go and Send Away The Tigers, and the pensive and melancholic Manics, the regret-filled and self-doubting Manics that recorded This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours and Rewind The Film. It wrestles to resolve their populist tendencies with their artful ones, to address the turmoil of the outside world and their place within it, and does so pretty successfully, barring a handful of ideas that don’t really work.
As such, Resistance Is Futile is arguably the most honest Manics album, though far from being their best. The album’s mood is set immediately with the lush, string-swept ‘People Give In’. Beset with worry, insecurity and a sense of all things being transitory, James Dean Bradfield exuding empathy with simple truths like “people get tired / people get old”, it’s the Manics at their most humanistic – downcast, yet defiant and stoic.
Exceptional lead single ‘International Blue’, dedicated to post-war French artist Yves Klein, is a precision-targeted exocet missile of FM rock, anthemic in the same way as ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ and peacocking with autumnal joy. It’s a bit of an outlier for the record in general, as it’s by far the most radio-friendly moment, but there’s other moments of panorama too. The reflective ‘Distant Colours’ is a sullen beauty, bemoaning the loss of ideology and certainties in the modern world and blown up to the “widescreen melancholia” that Wire feels encapsulates the album as a whole. The Manics, who’ve always been switched-on, have seen an awful lot of social, political and pop music change in their time, find themselves in a great position to critique the state of the world in 2018, even though we’re dimensions away from the punk and nihilist attitude of Generation Terrorists.
The same sentiment is echoed later in the glorious ‘Hold Me Like A Heaven’, with Bradfield sounding bewildered and pained when he looks at atomised, alienated Britain in 2018 beset with cultural nostalgia (“all the ties that bind have come undone… what is the future of the future?”). Nicky Wire delivers a very personal moment on ‘Liverpool Revisited’, echoing the sentiments of 1998 song ‘S.Y.M.M.’ regarding the Hillsborough disaster, only this time applauding the courage and stamina of the victims’ families. Wire takes the microphone himself on muted album closer ‘The Left Behind’, taking a phrase popularised during the Brexit referendum and turning it into a rumination on the Manics’ current state.
The musical polarisation between classicism and futurism is perhaps illustrated best by comparing two of Resistance Is Futile’s best tracks. The machine throb underpinning ‘Sequels Of Forgotten Wars’ is a continuation of Futurology’s pan-European outlook, while the orchestrated, detailed pop of ‘Dylan & Caitlin’, a duet sung with Welsh chanteuse The Anchoress, tells the story of the Thomases’ alcohol-fuelled romance. It fits into a great lineage of Manics duets (‘Little Baby Nothing’ and ‘Your Love Alone Is Not Enough’ being the very best, obvs) and is the kind of thing that only they can do and make it work.
However, there are a small handful of moments on Resistance Is Futile that aren’t as resonant as the majority of the tracks. The low-key ‘Vivian’, concerning photographer Vivian Maier, is intelligent but lacks the musical heft to register proper impact with the listener. The back-to-back ‘In Eternity’, which turns potentially interesting European art-rock influences into a bit of a slog, and the clumsy rocker ‘Broken Algorithms’ threaten to derail the album entirely near the end, before the expansive ‘A Song For The Sadness’ picks things up just as they’re petering out. But they’re minor complaints in the context of an album that stands up wonderfully to repeated listens, just like its immediate predecessor Futurology.

Henry Seewald is on his way! In this third promo video for tonight's new episode of Counting On, Jessa and Ben Seewald welcome their second son. The other Duggars pitch in to help, with Jill Dillard, Jana Duggar, and Michelle Duggar on the birth team and Joseph Duggar running errands.
To those who have asked about removing auto play from videos hosted by TLC, we have spoken with the network, and they are unable to turn the feature off.
I'm curious to know what Joe needed to pick up for Jessa's labour. Since she was 4 days past her due date shouldnt everything have been waiting?
Maybe she should have been prepared, but we all forget things at times.
Sometimes you forget things, that's life.
Quick, someone buy Jessa and Ben some ice cube trays.
If they didn't register for ice cube trays as wedding presents, I guess it's too late.
My ice recipe is an old family one handed down for generations. I couldn't possibly share it with you because it's a closely guarded family secret, so don't ask. It's a summer favorite that everyone seems to enjoy. Not many crave it in January, though, I've found. Kind of a seasonal thing, this homemade ice.
Maybe they had run out of the ice they already had?
Haha but it needs to be the tiny ice you can easily crunch on. But it still could have been bought in advance.
In the episode, it looked like Joe brought ice that came from a dispenser in the Duggars' home. It looked like chipped ice, which is a lot easier to eat than ice cubes! I don't think this was a contrived storyline. I think Jessa legitimately wanted ice chips and Joe was a nice brother and brought them for her!
Maybe they had already used all the ice that they had. It isn't a storyline. It is what happens in their lives. Maybe she needed extra ice for all the people coming to the house to help with the delivery or to be there to see the baby after birth. It doesn't matter why. It was nice of Joe to run errands for her.
ice while you're at it.
I guess you don't know much about birthing and this show isn't scripted unless you know them personally.
I hope all the Dugger siblings, even the older married ones and their spouses, appreciate Jana for the God-send that she is in their lives. I want a sister like Jana!!!
even having Jana as a true friend would be a blessing!
Home birth is normal and good in some cases if not most it's our western culture that has turned it into something to be looked down upon instead of something natural and beautiful.
Jill and Jana ate midwives. So I guess they encourage Jessa to have a home birth.
Women have many reasons for home birth, not the least of which is a hospital feels like a medical "prison". Statistically, a newborn is 200x more likely to contract a staph infection if born in a hospital. And with lawyers dictating ACOG's practices, many women are dubious of a doctor's "decision" to induce or to perform a c-section. Practices that used to be rare are now used routinely. What most people fail to realize is this: birth is not a medical emergency. A heart attack is...a stroke is...but birth is a natural, normal process. Can emergencies happen? Of course. But a trained certified midwife (depending on the state), carries many medical supplies to aid emergencies. I.e.: if excessive bleeding occurs, a midwife often gives the mother a shot of pitocin in the thigh, enabling contraction of the uterus, thus stopping the bleeding...normally. Sometimes hospital transfers are needed. But for the most part, women want freedom in their birthing experience...freedom to eat, drink, move, sit in a hot tub...all aid in SAFE births...and freedom is never selfish.
Anon @ 7:45 Jana is not a midwife, she went along with Jill as her accountability partner and did some training as a doula, but she has never worked as one. I got the impression it wasn't really her thing.
You can have that same freedom in the hospital. As long as everything is fine, it is possible. I told the doctor right away the kind of experience I wanted. Since everything was fine, I was able to have the experience I wanted. I moved around how I wanted and did what I wanted. I just had to be back in the room to have the baby checked every so often.
A birthing plan is a good thing to get everyone on the same page. And it's followed as long as the baby and Mom are doing good. Just because you labor in the hospital, you don't have to be confined to a bed. I'm referring to a natural labor of course.
These days Hospitals aren't safe for even surgeries. Home births are safer and more comfortable.
Who says you can't eat, drink, or move if you're not doing home birth?
Darn it, I fell asleep right before she gave birth. Guess I missed the famous Ice Run of 2014! Can someone explain what happened? Were they planning to make Sno-Cones?
This is old footage, but not THAT old, LOL!
Congratulations on the birth of your new son ☺!!!
Gosh that still of Michelle is kind of creepy!
I much prefer "Honey," "Darling," "Sweetheart" ANYTHING over "Babe". Do all the married Duggars call their spouses "Babe"?
Babe seems like it doesn't fit for women who wear long skirts, have long hair, etc.
I think the 'babe' thing is big with millennials. I watch little people big world and Tori and Audrey use it constantly. Don't like it either, but its just a term of affection that the young uns use nowadays, think i'll go sit in my rocking chair now lol!
I'm not fond of pet-names in general but I despise "Babe.". Maybe it's because Jinger used it incessantly.
She uses it so much that you would think his name actually was Babe.
Haha, yes overused by Jinger, but in a sweet way.
I admire you who run this blog! There are so many rude and hateful comments,and you have to read them all. I encourage you to be more strict with some of the comments because some of these comments are just making fun of duggars and they make no sense.
I am about to have my fifth child. I've had two births using an epidural and two natural ones. The natural ones are so much better. It might be intense toward the end, but there's so much more freedom. God truly gives the needed strength to deliver.
I had bad experiences with the epidural. But it's everyone's personal decision. And the important thing is that the baby and Mom are safe.
They didn't have epidurals 'back in the day'. They would give you some Demerol but then you were on your own. Good times! My mother had 'gas' through a mask during labor, whatever concoction that was. She said she woke up & I was here. My father was born on the kitchen table and I'm sure nothing from the pharmacy was involved (100 years ago).

Southampton University were crowned National University and Colleges champions for the second time after defeating Leeds Beckett University in the final. The side, which has two Team UK players in its ranks, ended the day undefeated, the only blemish a draw against Leeds in the group stage.
Bury Tchoukball Club’s youngsters reigned supreme for a second year in the Tchoukball UK National Youth Championships. The club’s under 18s – Bury Dukes – and under 15s – Bury Earls - both left as national champions in their age group, with Dukes taking first place in the overall league structure. This year, the competition was bigger with teams from 4 regions of the country competing for honours across 2 age groups.
On Friday 06 March, the Bury School’s Partnership organized the first annual Suffolk Youth Tchoukball Festival. The event was hosted at the home of Bury St Edmunds Tchoukball Club, the Victory Ground.
Schools from around Bury St Edmunds and the local area, took part in this event with a focus on skill play and enjoyment of the sport. The East of England region's centre of excellence, King Edward VI School provided the referees and officials.
World champions, Olympic medallists and world record holders all showed their support for tchoukball this week as two players from Bury St Edmunds Tchoukball Club met up with Colin Jackson, Beth Tweddle and Peter Waterfield. Bury pair Ian Parker and Lois Rollin met the former athletes at the Suffolk Physical Education and School Sport Conference in Ipswich where the sporting legends were the guests of honour, sharing their passion for sport with teachers from across the county.
Broadland Bolts look set to win the inaugural Division One championship and secure promotion to the Super Sevens after two more victories in the Tchoukball UK national league. Broadland saw off Southampton Elks comfortably, as well being given the points after Portsmouth Ducks were unable to fulfil their fixture.

He is a man of many careers.
In his early days he was a wool classer, but as a family man he was not content with being away from home for long periods so he studied engineering and became a consultant to the profession.
In 1972 he commenced painting professionally and developed his own particular detailed style.
Beginning early in life Phillips developed his skill initially in charcoals and pastels, then branching out into other favoured mediums.

Minutemen were members of teams of select men from the American colonial militia during the American Revolutionary War. They vowed to be ready for battle against the British within one minute of receiving notice. These teams consisted about a fourth of the entire militia, and generally were the younger and more mobile, serving as part of a network for early response to any threat. Minuteman and Sons of Liberty member Paul Revere spread the news that "the regulars are coming." Paul Revere was captured before completing his mission when the British marched towards the arsenal in Lexington and Concord to collect the patriots' weapons.

Pennsylvania law requires that all townships, prior to December 31, adopt a budget for the following calendar year. The Board of Supervisors must approve a preliminary budget at least 20 days prior to action on the final budget, and the public given notice of that preliminary budget.
View the Millcreek Township budgets and audits, which are hosted through eCode 360.
Most of Millcreek’s annual revenues are receipts from different taxes, including those on real property, earned income, employed persons for local services and real estate transfers. Millcreek and the Millcreek School District share equally in funds from the earned income and realty transfer taxes. Millcreek receives over $1.6 million each year from the State’s liquid fuels tax and approximately $600,000 annually from cable television franchise fees. Smaller amounts are collected from a public utility tax, license and permit fees, fines, grants, rents, income on investments and other sources.
Millcreek’s budget categorizes expenses as debt service, employee benefits, administration, tax collection, fire protection and miscellaneous expense and among its engineering, maintenance, police, code enforcement, streets and recreation departments.
The amount of money collected from the earned income tax and from realty transfer tax depends on economic conditions. The current budget anticipates minimal increases because of the slowed growth in the general economy and in the housing market.
Liquid fuels funds are paid to the State from taxes on gasoline and other fuels. Part of the tax revenues are then allocated to municipalities and are to be used in paying expenses of streets improvement, maintenance, plowing and related services. The amount of that funding is dependent on how much is collected by the State.
Local governments, like everyone else, find themselves dealing with unexpected cost increases, contractions in supply and similar economic variables. Earlier in this decade, all governments, businesses and individuals had to deal with unanticipated and significant increases in insurance costs and oil prices, affecting fuel and asphalt.
Millcreek’s Supervisors and Treasurer Mark Zaksheske have consistently adopted budgets that project revenues realistically, while holding the line on expenses. Internal controls have been adopted to discourage unnecessary spending and ensure that proposed expenses are budgeted or necessary in the circumstances. Without increasing staff, Millcreek maintains an increasing number of streets and provides quality police protection.
Millcreek has led joint purchasing efforts that have reduced costs paid for many products and materials. The Supervisors have worked with the township’s fire departments to preserve and improve volunteer fire protection services and with neighboring townships to develop an inter-municipal process for enforcing the Pennsylvania Construction Code. Because of these and other measures, property tax rates have increased minimally since 2003.
In recent years, Millcreek acquired land it is preserving as Veterans Park, in part with State grant funds. In 2009, Millcreek acquired the Erie Golf Club from the City of Erie. Originally opened in 1926, Millcreek completed extensive improvements to the property, which is now one of the finest municipal courses in the tri-state area.
Millcreek has acquired other lands to develop as regional storm water detention facilities. The six facilities help to reduce flooding from storms. Millcreek and the Millcreek Township Sewer Authority implemented costly improvements and have dealt with clean water discharges to the sanitary sewer system. Those improvements have eliminated sewage discharges, reduced flooding and sewer backups and reduced transportation and treatment costs.

After that trip it became evident that God was in this, calling us back to Columbus to participate in this church plant with the Christian & Missionary Alliance. Yogi has extended an offer to me to become the Associate Pastor of this church plant (which does not yet have a name, or a location), and I have accepted. I will begin on April 1, and my family will move as soon as we can sell our current house and buy a new one, most likely in the Westerville area. It is exciting to know that God is calling us back to the place we called home for seven years – the place we raised our children and the community we grew to love so deeply.
Our time in Toledo has been difficult but rich. After all, we came here so that Zeke could spend his final months near family, and so that we could receive their love and support in such an overwhelming time. We have received all of that, and so much more. Breena and I will both dearly miss our Grace Church family, who have been there for us through the most arduous season of our lives. I am also thankful for my time at two local television stations, BCSN and WLMB, where I have learned so much about the broadcasting trade.
Though this seems to be the very definition of bittersweet, I am looking forward with great anticipation to being back in full-time, pastoral ministry. I believe this vocation is what God has built me to do, and I am eager to put my hand back on the plow after it was taken from my grasp when Ember closed in 2012. If you live in the Columbus area and would like to hear more about this church plant, please feel free to contact me at any time. Breena and I are very excited to start this new chapter in our lives, and we are confident that God is going to bless us and this brand new church in profound ways.
I’m happy for you and your family, Andy. I will pray for you as you relocate and take up the challenge of a new church and a new pastorate. I feel confident you will do well as you allow God to do the leading.
Thank you for your encouragement and prayers, Nancy.
Congrats, Andy. We’re not in Columbus anymore, but I’d love to hear what you’re doing with the church plant. Can you add me to the list?
Thanks Joe. I’ll probably be writing a lot more here, but if there is any kind of email newsletter that goes out, I’ll be sure to add you to the list.

I wish you and your family Gods blessing , Yogi and his Wife love the Lord and will be great mentors for your family as you spread and build Gods Kingdom.
Thank you Becky. I’m hearing from so many people who know Yogi and Joy, and they all testify to what wonderful people they are. That makes me feel like I’m walking into an excellent situation!
Wow! One never knows where God will lead them next! Many blessings to you as you answer His call yet again and journey back to central Ohio!

I have a couple of friends from my high school out on the Hilltop (West High – class of 74) that also lead a C M & A church out on Sullivant Ave. It is one they planted as well.
Thank you, Mary. I’m sure I’ll be getting to know most of the C&MA pastors in the area very soon.

Jami and I are praying for your guys and your family, and we are excited to see how He uses you through this new church plant.

The Yamaha HS7 Monitors Package in an exclusive monitoring package from Front End Audio that includes a pair of white Yamaha HS7 Powered Studio Monitors, Auralex MoPAD Monitor Isolation Pads to isolate both monitors and your choice of a pair of cables!
The Yamaha HS7 Monitors are one of the best monitors on the market for home and project studio use (as well as professional reference), with their natural open sound that does not color the music. This makes them ideal for a variety of musical styles. The only color to these monitors is the stylish white finish. The Yamaha HS7 Monitors Package monitor packages bring you the Yamaha HS7 monitors (perfect for medium to larger rooms, or music styles that demand more low frequency attention), with Auralex MoPads (to help isolate your monitors and reduce low-mid/low-end build up), and a pair of quality cables, at great savings that really make this a no-brainer. Need more low-mid to low-end balance? Add a Yamaha HS8S sub for even more savings!
When choosing reference monitors for mixing and music production, accuracy is the prime consideration. Speakers that sound "good" on first impression may not necessarily be accurate. What you really need is an honest reference for your mix, rather than monitors that have been tweaked or colored to deceptively sound impressive. The Yamaha HS7 Powered Studio Monitors have been created by Yamaha's studio monitor engineering team to deliver exceptionally flat, accurate response that you can trust. Unlike "monitor" speakers with exaggerated bass and treble that make a good first impression but can't be relied on for accuracy, the HS series were designed to be true studio reference monitors in the tradition of the legendary Yamaha NS10M. Whether you're mixing for stereo or 5.1 surround, mixes that sound good on Yamaha HS7 Powered Studio Monitors will translate accurately to the widest possible range of reproduction systems - which is engineer-speak that simply means they'll sound good on anything. And that is the ultimate goal of any reference monitor. We should also mention that the Yamaha HS7 Powered Studio Monitors not only sound great, they look great, too.
Product, price, and shipping were great. Website could use some work to improve experience.
Great price, Great service, Great monitors.
I got just what I wanted, at the cheapest price out of everyone, and it was delivered fast. Every other price for yamaha hs7 monitors were atleasted $100 more than yours. Thanks Front end audio!!!!

The proliferation of mobile devices in the last decade has been enormous. Even more recently, smart phones have become commonplace in almost every person’s pocket or bag, and mobile pad devices are becoming more commonly used, in some cases, replacing the laptop and to become an expected item to be found in almost every person’s bag of accessories within five years. This change in the types of devices that we commonly use to socialise, work and function also has its effect on SEO. While SEO for mobile devices shares a lot of its character with that of traditional SEO for PCs and laptops, there are distinctions to note and strategies to be mindful of for mobile that can allow for a much more effective mobile campaign that generates increased enquiries and sales. To miss out on these opportunities could be perilous as the future of search heads more and more to the realm of mobile, as its use continues to dramatically rise.
A principle that is important to abide by when SEO is concerned is that SEO is for users. The people that think from this perspective tend to produce high quality work that stands the test of time and work that offers value to a global public and brand campaign in more ways than one. The people that think from the perspective that SEO is for machines, resultantly tend to produce spam. An important concept that we at Elite SEO cannot reiterate enough to our clients is that Google’s robots seek to emulate human users. Search engines want to take users to sites that are useful and valuable for humans. And due to this, their algorithm is consistently refined to better ensure that this is the case. This algorithm, in an oversimplified explanation, looks to mimic what humans would deem to be good sites as results to search queries made, and lists these results accordingly.
A website that is mobile friendly most significantly means that your users will have a more enriching user experience when browsing your website on mobile. A website that adapts to fit the screen of a mobile offers a better mobile experience. This leads to a better brand impression and leads to a higher probability of enquiries and sales from mobile-viewers. A site that is suitable for a mobile is site that is either a responsive website or a designated mobile website. A responsive site is one that is liquid and that moves to adjust to the resolution of the computer it is being viewed on. A mobile website is one that is made specifically for mobile devices, with a different URL to that of a brand’s main, non-mobile website, and a website that can be remotely different from a website developed for a desktop or laptop. Both forms, whether a responsive design or mobile-designated site enable a user to view a website effectively on a mobile device and can thereby maximise the mobile viewing and interactive experience. The form of a website is one of the most important elements to have right for mobile, even before getting to work on other SEO elements. Ensure that the site looks good on a mobile device, and look to test its appearance and functionality for phones and mobile pad devices.
People who use mobile are usually time-poor. They are on the run to their next appointment, are quickly looking for a place to acquire the product or service they need or require a piece of information or fact check to contribute effectively to a conversation or important meeting discussion. Additionally, internet connection to mobile devices invariably tends to be slower than that to desktop or laptop computer devices. For these reasons, when it comes to using mobile devices to search, time is of the essence. Creating a mobile website that appears rapidly without delays is part of a good mobile web experience, but in addition, will help your SEO. Google wants to take users to websites that offer a good mobile experience, a trend that will only continue to grow, particularly in the field of mobile SEO. The load speed of a website is a crucial factor for the performance of a website and its search. A good mobile site will look to ensure a rapid load time by ensuring a design layout that is efficiently loaded yet visibly appealing and will seek to optimise images where possible to reduce load time.
When people view sites on their mobile devices, they are generally up, about and exploring. Many mobile users are looking for their next meal or what to do for the day in the locality they are at. Mobile users want to find suitable businesses that can provide the ideal product or service they are wanting. A good mobile site should have effective information, with key information made distinctly visible. All phone numbers should be made to be click-to-call so users can easily make contact with the businesses that interests them. Much like SEO for traditional devices, good content that offers rich information that is valuable is also important. Articles that offer handy advice or deep insight are great for people that are commuting from home to work, or need a good read while on their break and sitting on a park bench. This also leads to the need for content to be shareable. Mobile users are highly social, often interacting on social media through their mobile devices throughout their day. Making social sharing easy for them through the form of social sharing buttons will allow them to rapidly share content on your website, which will allow more people to be exposed to your brand and will enable for better SEO performance.
In a recent survey by Our Mobile Planet, it was revealed that 94% of smart phone users had used their device to find local information. 84% had taken action after making a search. In a similar survey, it was uncovered that 63% of people take action within an hour of making a mobile search, while 84% do so within 5 hours. Mobile users making searches tend to be different from laptop and computer users in that they are more readily looking for local information and are positioned to quickly act. What then does this mean for mobile SEO? Firstly, and most basically, mobile users need to be able to find you. Having your address on your mobile site is a good start. This address should link to a Google Map or alternatively, a Google Map should be provided and made clearly visible on your mobile website. This is particularly important if you are a local business selling a product or service with a storefront and you want to increase traffic to your store (e.g. restaurant, shop & hairdresser). Research conducted by Bryson Meunier at Resolution Media reveals that searches for ATM location (99 percent), restaurants (88 percent), bars (97 percent) most commonly come from mobile devices. The second important element is to understand and anticipate what mobile searches are searching for when it comes to finding your product or service. It may be that there are users typing “cheap pizza in Sydney” or “24 hour coffee in Melbourne”, which then aligns with what your business offers. Google’s keyword tool can be used to find these types of keywords people may be entering. Creating designated pages for these keywords will enable a business to capture more traffic from mobile users, both online but then more importantly offline, and can then effectively boost the sales of a business.
There are many mobile functions that a mobile website can also possess to help or engage a user to have a better experience of your brand. These functions are exclusive to mobile devices and can therefore be leveraged upon when it comes to developing websites that cater to mobile users. A full list of all these functions will be elaborately described in a blog post to come. A great functioning mobile website will not only service users well, but will draw people to naturally link to the site and share it on social media, encouraging other users to experience what it has to offer. This will inevitably will improve SEO and generate more visitors to check out your brand.
These elements when implemented well on a mobile site will contribute significantly to appealing and engaging a growing audience that searches for and views websites on mobile devices. This is proving to be a great way to gain business but also to invest into the future as more and more activity transfers from traditional computer devices to that of mobile.

I’m a complainer. I admit it. I complain when something bad happens to me (an illness hindering me from work, an unexpected expense breaking my budget, or someone getting angry with me for something that wasn’t my fault), and I complain when I’m asked to do something that inconveniences me. Instead of being eager to sacrifice my agenda out of love for someone else, I grumble—even while I actually do what I’ve been asked to do!
Grumbling and complaining could considered “acceptable sins,” sins that we commit regularly but don’t really see as a big deal. The Bible seems to view the matter quite differently, however. Paul commands followers of Jesus to “do all things without complaining” (Philippians 2:14). “All things” seems to include submitting to both suffering and inconveniences without complaining.
The Bible characterizes the ancient people of Israel by their grumbling and complaining, and how God dealt with them illustrates the seriousness of this sin. Grumbling is always directed against someone. We tend to think of it as a response to our circumstances, and the words we use to express our complaints tend to focus on our circumstances. But the Bible describes the Israelites’ grumbling as “against the Lord” (Numbers 16:7-9). God had promised to be present with his people and to provide their needs, but when they couldn’t see how, or were dissatisfied with God’s provision, they grumbled. And he responded with anger and judgment (Numbers 11:1).
Why is grumbling and complaining so serious? Why are we never justified in complaining about our circumstances? My complaining reveals my unbelief. When I complain, I don’t really believe God is with me, working my circumstances for good (Romans 8:28). I’m also forgetting that Jesus died to pay for my complaining. And, in doing so, Jesus didn’t complain about the bad that was happening to him; he didn’t complain about having to take on the weakness of human flesh; he didn’t complain about having to endure rejection by his people or the wrath of his Father. He was truly eager to sacrifice out of love for us, without complaining.

It looks like Ray J and Princess Love are finally going to expand the Norwood clan by one. After chronicling their fertility struggles last season (Season 4) of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, the newlyweds have announced they are now expecting.
Ray J made an appearance on daytime talk show The Real this morning and the daddy-to-be was overcome with excitement as he spilled the news. “Love is on my mind. Love is in my heart. Princess and I are expecting,” he confirmed, sending the crowd into a roar of applause.
Prior to giving the official news, Ray and Princess had dodged a few pregnancy rumors that turned out to be false alarms. Back in September 2016, Princess took to Twitter to deny a bun was in the oven, while predicting that the following year might be a better time for baby making. This is the first child for both reality stars.
In this Love & Hip Hop clip, Safaree, Ray J and A1 have a sperm count bet to settle which leads to a bigger discovery about Ray J’s fertility.

The European Commission today adopted a new draft EU VAT Directive for the operation of the definitive VAT system. This includes changing to a destination-based VAT regime, and withdrawing zero-rating on intra-community supplies. The aim is to help eliminate and estimated €50billion in VAT fraud, particularly carousel fraud.
Withdrawal of zero-rating intra-community supplies on B2B transactions. Instead, vendors will be required to charge the VAT rate of the customer (defined by where the transport ends).

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. used its IFA 2016 press conference today in Berlin to demonstrate how it is redefining the consumer experience, showcasing a range of new products and partnerships for the European home appliance, visual display and home entertainment markets.
“At IFA 2016, we wanted to show the European community how we are continually striving to redefine the Samsung experience. For all our customers and partners - and across all our product lines, from television and home audio to home appliances. Everything Samsung creates is born out of our determination to enrich peoples’ daily lives with innovative technology, based on a deep understanding of what consumers really want and need.” said David Lowes, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Electronics Europe.
During the press conference, held once again in the CityCube at Messe Berlin, Samsung reiterated its commitment to Europe, employing 14,000 people in 34 countries. Samsung’s products are infused with European flair, fashion, design and the finest traditions of manufacturing excellence. With Q2 revenue up five percent year on year, seven out of 10 European households owning a Samsung mobile phone and one in three families watching their favourite shows and films on Samsung TVs, the company believes that now is the right time to invest even further in Europe’s potential.
In keeping with this commitment, Samsung announced a new partnership with MakerBot, the global leader in 3D printing, which will equip schools, colleges and museums in five European markets with 3D printers, as well as train teachers and students alike in the use of the technology. With more than 100,000 MakerBot printers around the world, it represents the world’s largest 3D printing community and an incredibly powerful tool inside the classroom. Samsung also announced that, as part of the European Commission’s Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, it is on track to deliver its pledge to support 400,000 young people by the end of 2016 - three years earlier than expected.
Samsung revealed the new Quantum dot 88-inch KS9800 TV, offering the ultimate in picture quality, brilliance and, as with all of Samsung’s SUHD TVs, a display capable of producing up to one billion colours. Samsung now offers the largest range of SUHD TVs in Europe, with 19 available sizes from 43” up to 88”, capitalising on the limitless flexibility of Quantum dot in terms of screen size and definition. Samsung also announced the world’s first curved Quantum dot PC Monitors - the new CF791, with a 34” Ultra Wide QHD screen and the stunning new CFG70, the first curved monitor with a one millisecond moving picture response time and 144 hertz refresh rate for smooth, flawless gaming.
Samsung is also the only company able to offer consumers cadmium-free Quantum Dot TVs – a point made by guest speaker, Jason Hartlove, President & CEO of Nanosys and one of the world’s top authorities on Quantum dot technology. Hartlove revealed Quantum dot is among the most stable and reliable display materials available anywhere on the planet, enabling superior performance and more environmentally-friendly displays with an extraordinary lifespan. Such is the company’s confidence in the reliability of Qantum dot, that Samsung announced a new 10-year warranty for its SUHD TVs with Quantum dot display, protecting consumers against the effects of burn-in for an entire decade.
At the press conference, Won Jin Lee, the Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, introduced Samsung’s content platform, Smart Hub, and announced the formation of a new premium HDR content partnership that will help realise the full potential of Quantum Dot SUHD TV. This included plans to expand Samsung’s TV Plus service - which has proven so popular in South Korea – to both the United States and Europe.
Ever mindful that great television is about amazing content as well as outstanding picture quality, Samsung said it was strengthening its collabourative relationships with global partners, such as Amazon and Netflix. Netflix in particular is expanding its range of HDR content for European customers, with film titles such as Marco Polo, The Do-Over and The Ridiculous Six . European partners including RTVE and Insight TV will also begin to offer HDR content in the second half of 2016.
Samsung also showcased the capabilities of the Samsung Smart Remote, which allows users to easily navigate all of their connected devices with one single remote control. The Smart remote is designed to auto-detect any and all external devices connected to the TV, making it simple for consumers to switch between– without having to hunt around for multiple remotes.
Samsung’s drive to redefine the consumer experience goes well beyond the living room. Over the last three years, Samsung’s home appliance business has grown approximately five times faster than the rest of the industry in Europe. The success of new products such as AddWash, first revealed at IFA 2015, have made Samsung the number one premium washing machine brand in France, Poland, Italy and the UK. At IFA 2016, Samsung announced two new AddWash products - the AddWash Combo, which eliminates the need to purchase a separate dryer, and the AddWash Slim, which can fit into a smaller kitchen space without compromising on load size.
Following extensive research into what European consumers really want from their kitchen, Samsung introduced three new built-in line-ups, the Contemporary Line with a new built-in refrigerator, the Black Stainless line-up - which uses a semi-matte black finish to give the units a modern yet timeless look, and the original Chef Collection. The new true built-in refrigerator unit from the Contemporary Line delivers a seamless fit with flawless and advanced performance thanks to innovative technologies such as No Frost, Twin Cooling PlusTM and Cool Select Zone Plus.
Samsung also announced that its sensational Family Hub is coming to Europe. This top-of-the-line refrigerator also features Twin Cooling Plus TM technology to maximise food freshness, as well as Precise Chef Cooling TM, which keeps temperature fluctuations within plus or minus 0.5 degrees. Family Hub also features a special ‘Chef Zone TM’, which is ideal for managing temperature-sensitive proteins. And, of course, its three innerview cameras take photos that consumers can access via their mobile devices, enabling them to see what’s inside the fridge wherever they may be.
Family Hub also features a 21.5-inch Full HD touchscreen offering consumers a wide range of functionality. It can serve as the family’s interactive white board for notes, photos, shared calendars and artwork. Content can be uploaded directly via the touchscreen or remotely by mobile phone or tablet. Consumers can also use the touch screen and online shopping app to order groceries straight from their kitchen for delivery right to their door.
Family Hub will also give European customers a chance to cook with the masters via the Club des Chefs App. Straight from the Family Hub screen, Club des Chefs offers professional cooking tips through text and video advice. Being able to watch world-class culinary experts at work on the upper half of the screen while being talked through a recipe on the lower half is an excellent example of how Samsung is redefining the kitchen experience. Samsung Electronics’ booth will be open at Level 2 of City Cube Berlin from September 2 through 7 for IFA 2016.

Pub chain Barworks is celebrating its expanding range of quality alcohol-free drinks with the UK’s first ever Mindful Tavern Takeover. The event is a collaboration between Big Drop Brewing Co, Barworks, mindful drinking festival organisers Club Soda, and daytime ravers Morning Gloryville.
Barworks now stocks Big Drop’s award-winning beers at its 13 venues across London, which helps them get a five-star entry into Club Soda Guide — the pub guide for mindful drinkers.
The latest in a series of Mindful Pub Crawls, this Club Soda Takeover provides an opportunity for regulars to try the range of 0.5% ABV Big Drop beers, as well as some of the wider selection of low- and no-alcohol drinks stocked by Barworks, which includes local craft sodas and kombucha.
The takeover is at the Commercial Tavern, a Barworks venue on Commercial Street in Shoreditch, between 6.30pm and 9.30pm tomorrow (May 1).
Lee Godwin, operations manager at Barworks, said: “Barworks has worked hard to source a selection of great tasting drinks for a growing number of our customers who choose not to drink alcohol.
The guide highlights great pubs, bars and restaurants around the country, and is set to be expanded this year.
Laura Willoughby, co-founder of Club Soda, said: “Mindful drinking is the growing trend. Whether cutting down, going alcohol-free, driving, or just wanting to get to the gym the next morning, customers are no longer willing to compromise on taste and choice when they go to the pub and want something with a lower ABV.
Big Drop Brewing founder, Rob Fink, said: “More bar owners are taking notice of the opportunity that our 0.5% ABV beers offer them, and gaining a listing in a group with such a solid reputation for craft beer as Barworks is a big step forward for the category.

Plastic is the material of choice for many when it comes to bottling up liquid products. Unlike glass and metal bottles, plastic is more adaptable, lightweight and cost-effective (to name a few pros). However, one complication with plastic bottles is that they can be subject to ‘panelling’.
Panelling happens when the bottles contents permeate the plastic, making the density within the bottle less than the pressure on the outside. When this happens the bottles structure begins to collapse – looking like all of the air has been squeezed out of it. This happens because the chemical liquid inside the bottles is incompatible with the resin used to make it.
One way to prevent this process is to fluorinate the bottles. This is when the bottles are exposed to copious amounts of fluorine ion which create a protective barrier on the surface of the bottle, stopping any gas or liquids escaping.
Fluorination can be done in-mould or post-mould. In-mould fluorination happens when fluorine gas is incorporated into the blowing of the bottle while it is being made. Whereas, post-mould, as the name would suggest, is exposure to the gas in a reactor after the bottle has been made. The latter method, especially for smaller quantities, is easier and more cost-effective than fluorinating the bottle prior to moulding. Regardless of which way you choose to have your bottles fluorinated, this is a permanent mutation of the plastics structure – so there is no worry of it rubbing off or losing its effectiveness. The fluorination of a bottle has no effect on its capability to be responsibly recycled following its use – Keeping it Green!
INTERESTING FACT: Fluorination DOES NOT change the formulation of the product within the bottle and nor does it cause loss of fragrance.
What can I use fluorinated bottles for??
PET plastics cannot be fluorinated – the material that water and cordial bottles are made of (not FDA approved).
This list is not exhaustive and if you don’t see a chemical liquid listed here that you may require packing into a fluorinated bottle, click here and a member of our helpful manufacturing team will be happy to answer any of your packing queries.

Glenwood, Ill., Friday, Oct. 31, 2014 – Along with the aroma of apple cider and pumpkin spices, there is a distinct whiff of something positively Rockwellian hovering in Glenwood, Illinois. The Annual Bonfire, hosted by the Village’s Fire Department for decades, is now perfectly partnered with Living Springs Community Church Fall Fest for a Halloween evening of tradition and family-friendly fun that would simply delight Norman.
The Fall Fest will include pumpkin painting, inflatable bounce houses, and refreshments—hot dogs, chips, and beverages. Living Springs encourages both adults and children to wear costumes. For a real throwback to simpler times, a Cake Walk will be held, where a musical-chairs type of elimination results in the winner being awarded a home-baked cake. Volunteers from Living Springs and the community will also be hosting Trunk-or-Treat in the parking lot. Children will visit each vehicle’s trunk to collect candy and other goodies.
The Fall Fest and Bonfire are completely free to attend, with free parking conveniently available. For more information, visit www.livingspringscc.org or www.villageofglenwood.com, or call 708-709-0100.

Boat Builders experts and enthusiasts.
Your ideal boat building partner – CAD design and state of the art boat building, painting, and furnishing facilities.
When purchasing a boat you have to keep in mind what will ou prefer doing with it. Are you looking to stay moored up all the time in your Marina of choice or would you prefer cruising the canals as much as possible, maybe with a Constant Cruising License?
Whatever the answer, there are plenty of resources to help you out make an informed decision.
These helpful guides will show you incredible places to visit with your canal boat in each area, with tips and advice on fun things to do with the whole family, where to stay and how to get there.
Do you know which canal you want to cruise but are not sure if your canal boat can go through it? Use this simple guide for the Waterways Dimensions by the Canal & River Trust.
Want to order your new boat but not sure about placing the build slot deposit?
As we enter 2019, we face this period of uncertainty which can, in some cases, delay house sales. You may be confident your funds will free up but just not 100% sure it will happen on time. On the other hand, if you don’t make a commitment when you need to, you could find yourself without a boat when the time comes.
Or worse, what if you placed a deposit but your funds encounter a delay, or your house sale falls through? Do you risk losing your deposit? What to do next?
We can help you take the next step with confidence.
Our trusted Finance partners can organise the first stage payment to help you, after placing your initial build slot deposit. Or we will simply postpone your build slot, so you don’t lose the deposit on your boat. We start the build at a later date after the funds are with you.
Either way, you can move forward with confidence and support.
Some people hear the word “finance” and instantly shake their heads. Whether you are worried about finance or have an absolute distrust for finance companies, you still might want to consider the idea of taking a loan to help the purchase of your dream boat.
there are no early payment penalties. As soon as the money come in, pay off the rest of the balance and say goodbye to the monthly mortgage payments and finally start living your new life in complete FREEDOM.
Follow this link HERE for more details.
Here at the Nottingham Boat Company we pride ourselves of the investment we made in state of the art design technology, up to the minute manufacturing equipment, and modern management systems. This empowers our staff with the ability to plan and manufacture high-quality boats.
We constantly invest in training, IT, and modern workshop equipment, allowing you to feel more confident while making one of the largest financial purchases of your life.
+ What makes NOTTINGHAM BOAT COMPANY the best suited company to build your boat?
We have over 50 years of experience in building boats AND living aboard. We know what you will need and how to get you there. We will work closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you want, whether you are looking to relocate living aboard or planning new and exciting adventures.
+ Where can you find us?
We are perfectly situated in the centre of UK, at Redhill Marina.
We are situated at the junction of the river Trent with the river Soar. Both leading to navigable canals.
Our position allows for an easy test of your narrow boats, barges or wide beams up to 72ft with a 14ft beam.
Here on site we will be able to lift your boat in and out of the river and onto a truck for transportation. Or better yet, you can sail away directly from the marina.
+ What are the boats choices?
Narrowboats: From 50ft in length and their traditional 6ft10” width, Narrowboats are known for their history as work boats, and their ability to travel almost anywhere in the Inland Waterways.
Wide beams: Doubling the width space of a Narrowboat (12ft) Wide beams tend to be used as liveaboards, giving you as much comfort as a regular flat.
Barges: They have a bulky look and may look even bigger than most Wide Beams, incredibly spacious, they will make you forget about your life-on-land.
Restrictions on rivers and canals locks.
You can find all the relative information on the Canal & River Trust website.
+ How do we work on your boat?
With the implementation of CAD (Computer Aided Design), we can offer you schematics of what your boat will look like, allowing you to choose ‘what goes where’.
From the planning stages to completion, so you can follow the progress of your boat every step of the way. All you need is an email address and a PDF reader on your PC/device.
Give you important information regarding position, method of use, and how to gain access to vital boat equipment.
+ How does CAD benefit you?
CAD is a fantastic piece of computer technology when used by an experienced design engineer. As it is used to produce realistic 3D images of the boat or a product, it allows for any changes to be made prior the actual production.
These images will give you a visual feel for the finished boat, boat layout, equipment level, colour, and style before we start manufacturing your boat.
Provide an accurate inventory of equipment and furniture for you to use as reference.
Let you know exactly what you will get, when your boat will be ready, and how much it costs.
Choose, view and approve your own improvements, styles, textures, and colours BEFORE we start working on the boat.
CAD drastically reduces the possibility of mistakes, which reduces the possibility of delays, which reduces the chances of disappointment.
We will provide you with the 3D schematics.
+ Where do we work on your boat?
Did you know that risk of condensation and or frost will affect the paint and materials at all levels?
That is why our workshops and offices are heated using environmentally friendly heating system that uses wood chip from sustainably managed forests. This allows us to paint boats in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
We are proud to be the only company in the industry that greatly invested in a modern approach.
We take pride in being unique when it comes to care for the way we build your boat.
The warm and comfortable environment also improves our staff’s moral, which in turn raises the quality of their workmanship on your boat.
+ Where do we start to work on your boat?
We use sand blasting to provide a dry, clean steel hull which is a vitally important step before the painting is done.
Sand blasting prepares the hull to be smothered in epoxy paint, which has the best adhesive characteristics of any commercial paint and is 100% waterproof.
Sand blasting and epoxy paint provide the ultimate protection for your boat and a perfect base for the finishing 2K primer and top coat.
Our experience and confidence in the industry, combined with our investment in the latest technology and high-quality materials, has gained us a manufacturer guarantee. You will sail away with a durable marine paint finish to be proud of.
+ How do we test your boat?
We have on-site a 40 tons boat hoist, hydraulic trailer, and heavy-duty slipway that permit us to launch and test your boat.
This allows us to check for any faults or risk of failures prior to the delivery to you.
After our test and the customer hand over, you will be confident that your boat is ready to be hoisted onto a truck for transportation, which we can arrange for you, or have your boat placed directly in the marina.
All is left for you to do is sail away!
+ What are the choices of paint and final touches?
We proud ourselves into being able to offer you a bespoke boat. This means that we will have a range of exterior and interior colours for you to pick from, using the very latest paint technology and high quality durable paints and materials.
We pick the best interior finishing by collaborating with great partners. You will be able to choose from a wide range of kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms styles. Luxury flooring, wooden internal finishing, and soft furnishing are also provided.
As a company we can offer a high standard, bespoke boat. Designed using Computer Aided Design software, we will provide you with 3D drawings and plans enabling you to decide exactly the way you want your boat before we start working on it.
+ How far can you go with your boat?
Most rivers and canals will have you sail at about 4mph, allowing you to take in the beautiful scenery at a cruising pace.
You can visit the Canal & River Trust website for more information regarding speed restrictions or canals and rivers limitations.
+ Where can you keep or moor your boat?
There are many places to keep or moor your boat thanks to the many marinas located all over the UK, on rivers and canals.
Click HERE for a quick search of available moorings.
+ Do you need any licence?
If you have a boat on the water, you need a license. Even in a marina you need a River only or River & Canal or Canal only license. You can upgrade a River or Canal only to a River & Canal license for short periods of time if you want to go travelling for a short period of time or longer one!

We can advise and/or arrange your training with our collaborators.

You have seen our fully fitted boats, maybe you are looking at those few extras that will make your boat just perfect, or maybe you are tempted by the idea of building your own Sailaway.

As my husband and I are studying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s “Hope in the Dark” Bible plan on YouVersion, I’m reminded that nothing I ask God – nothing – is too difficult for Him to hear. Our Heavenly Father wants us to come to Him in full disclosure.
I waffle in my conversations with God at times. In those moments, it’s because I fear being disrespectful of Him, uneasy with challenging His authority. But I’m learning that in wrestling with God, in putting my hard questions into words, I am respecting my Creator MORE. I lift the burdens plaguing my spirit to the One Who can provide peace.
I’ve long felt like a young child in some prayers, avoiding talking about what frightens me. It’s almost as if I’m afraid that by telling my Father about my nightmare, the monsters will become real. Does anyone else feel like this at times?
I realize it’s immature, yet it IS something I’ve felt and battled throughout my life. And my Heavenly Father is not surprised.
And then, there’s arrogant pride we all carry, believing we can fix things ourselves. We never open our hands up, surrendering control to God because we think it’s our problem to resolve, or dismiss.
Silly, foolish child I am. The whole “I can do it myself” is such a load of (if I may) horse-crap. If you’re a parent, you may recall your thoughts as your child said those words to you, pushing away your help and more steady hand? I remember like it was yesterday.
This scripture, amongst many, reminds me God can handle my questions. He won’t turn away from my confusion, nor pain. He will not only listen, but He WILL answer.
It is on me to bring my thoughts to Him. It is on me to trust His Plan for eternity, not just Laura, her family and friends. And finally, it is on me to welcome God’s steady, unwavering hand to guide me in His Response. It will surely come. I should prepare my heart for what lies ahead.

If you are like many people, you rely solely on your income from your primary job. You might think this is OK, but in reality, you are setting yourself up for trouble. When you rely on one income, you are at a major risk should you lose your job. How will you pay your rent or buy food? Ideally you have some savings to fall back on, but at the end of the day, if the economy tanks and your company lets you go, you are going to have to figure out a backup income source quickly.
It is for this reason why you should have multiple streams of income. By diversifying your income, you don’t have to worry as much should you lose your job. In this post, we will talk about how to go about adding income streams and what to expect.
There are many options when it comes to adding income streams. Your first step is to figure out what you really enjoy doing and seeing if there is a way to earn some money from it. For me, it was with blogging. I started off on the side, not really making money, but that wasn’t the goal at first.
But as time went on and my site grew in popularity, I began to make some money. It wasn’t a lot, but it was helpful. I was able to increase my savings with that money.
For you, the goal is to write down some things you enjoy doing and researching to see if there are ways you can make some extra money.
If you find that there are a couple of things you enjoy doing and could make money doing them, try them all out. You don’t have to limit yourself to just one additional stream of income. The more streams you have, the better.
The key is taking into account your time. You don’t want to work your main job all day and then spend all night on other ventures, even if you enjoy them. You need some down time.
The main thing to keep in mind when it comes to income streams is that you aren’t going to make as much as you are in your primary job. Yes there are some people that do, but that isn’t the goal. The goal is to simply bring in some extra money each month.
When you do start making some money, don’t factor it into your budget. Simply take a small portion of it and put it aside for taxes next year since you will have to pay taxes on this income.
Next, put the money into a savings account or even use it to pay off debt.
Whatever you do, don’t spend it. You are looking to get yourself to a better financial place. For most of us, this means getting out of debt and or building up a savings cushion. In a few years, you will be amazed at how much your side income has helped your bottom line.
The longer you can go without budgeting this money, the better off you will be. Once your debt is gone and you have a nice savings cushion, you can use the extra money to boost your retirement accounts or even save for a dream vacation.
At the end of the day, adding in some other income will do you a world of good. Not only will it help you to better your financial life, but it will make any job loss a lot less stressful. This is because you will have money set aside to help cover your expenses while you look for another job and you will still have some money coming in to help offset things as well.
So look into other income sources but don’t over extend yourself. You want to bring in some extra money while also enjoying your life to the fullest.
Thanks Don. They key point I’d add here is to remind people that building up additional income streams takes drive and effort for example, starting a blog doesn’t happen over night. It can take a lot of effort and writing before a blog starts to generate any revenue.

Congregations, and the people in them, are well-intended. We sense in our connection with God that there is a purpose to our living that goes beyond how we currently live, that there is a world that is better than the one we live in. We aspire to that better self and that better world. Our mission statements frequently state our intent to help make our lives, our communities, our world “better” – more aligned with God’s view of what could be.
It is the moving from intent to purposeful action that remains the hard work for most of us (and for all non-profit organizations). We allow ourselves to be aspirational – to aspire to better lives and a better world. The hard work is in finding a faithful path to our aspirations. What is it that we actually have to do next? What difference do we need to produce next in order to be that better person, to have that better world?
Moving beyond intentions begins by changing the questions we ask of ourselves. Instead of only asking what kind of person we wish to be (generous, faithful, disciple-like…) we also need to ask the less comfortable question of what we need to change about ourselves next in order to be more like the aspired person we envision. Instead of only asking what kind of congregation we want to be (vital, growing, disciple-making, justice seeking…) we also need to ask the less comfortable question of what change we need to address next, or what we need to learn next, to be more like the aspired congregation we envision.
We are commonly better at aspiring than of actually changing. Notice the repeated use of the word next in the above paragraphs. We need different questions and new tools to shift our focus from a distant better life or world (our long-term aspirational vision) to focus on the change, or new learning, needed next (our short-term actionable “next”) to move toward that aspiration. Leadership is more than providing a vision of what could be. It is also the risk of short-term experiments and actions to get closer to the long-term aspiration. We need to learn a new vocabulary to look beyond our immediate and known activities to frame the outcome required next. We need metrics, ways to measure if we are, or are not, getting closer to the difference / change required next. We need to ask questions of ourselves that are more focused than an aspiration. Wanderers in a new cultural wilderness, such as we, are in need of find better tools, better questions, and better measures to move closer to a promised land we sense in God’s will for us.

The presidential victory of Donald Trump will lead to many regulatory changes, including in the area of employment and workplace law. A note from the law firm Fisher & Phillips spells out some areas where the firm thinks changes will come, and these include immigration, labor relations and workplace safety. With regard to immigration, the firm expects an increase in enforcement actions, including mandated employment eligibility ID checks to keep illegal immigrants out of workplaces and increased raids on workplaces. What is unclear, said Kim Thompson, chair of the firm's global immigration practice group, is whether Mr. Trump he will attempt to accomplish this by reducing the number of work visas issued or by increasing wages and other actions to encourage the hiring of U.S. citizens.
It’s probable a Trump administration will curtail pro-union and anti-employer activities by the National Labor Relations Board—and eventually replace current NLRB members with more business-friendly successors, said Steve Bernstein, a partner in the firm’s labor relations practice group. Republicans support requiring transparency so union members know how their dues are being used and back right-to-work laws permitting workers to opt-out of forced union membership—positions Mr. Trump showed support for during his campaign. Since executive orders are easy to repeal, partner Howard Mavity said he expects Mr. Trump will overturn the fair pay and safe workplace executive order—the so-called ‘blacklist’ rule—as well as similar government contractor executive orders. “I suspect that the very burdensome new EEO-1 electronic recordkeeping obligations will be changed, modified, delayed or eliminated,” said Mr. Mavity in an email.
In the area of workplace safety, Fisher & Phillips attorney Travis Vance said he expects a Trump presidency to streamline the Occupational Safety and Health Administration by repealing some or all of its recent rules on increased penalties that saw fines rise as much as 80%. It’s also likely Mr. Trump will seek elimination of rule set to take effect July 1, 2017 that mandates certain employers to report injury and illness information to OSHA. Also, Mr. Mavity and Mr. Vance both said the next administration will almost certainly shift resources away from the Obama administration’s efforts to protect whistleblowers from retaliation, especially when it comes to reporting injuries. Mr. Vance said OSHA currently enforces the whistleblower provisions of approximately 22 statutes and Mr. Trump may attempt to eliminate OSHA’s jurisdiction over many of these, as well as heighten the threshold for a claimant to establish a whistleblower claim. “These changes would allow OSHA to focus on high-hazard industry enforcement, accident and fatality inspections, and safety outreach consultations with employers,” said Mr. Vance.
The art of the internal investigation. Michael W. Johnson, chief executive of Clear Law Institute, which provides training to companies on how to conduct internal investigations, speaks about why the best investigators are more reporter than prosecutor, and debunks myths that body language or whether someone looks you in the eye are the best ways to discern if someone is being truthful.
U.K. lawyers still grapple with DPAs. Corporate lawyers in the U.K. continue to grapple with how to negotiate with the Serious Fraud Office to secure deferred prosecution agreements in ways lawyers with experience in the U.S. process don’t, said David Green, the SFO’s director.
U.S. puts sanctions on alleged Nusra Front leaders. The U.S. imposed sanctions on four alleged leaders of the Nusra Front, and it added the group’s new name–following a split from al Qaeda–to the blacklist.
U.S. charges four with sanctions evasion. Prosecutors in New York charged four people with conspiring to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran through a scheme they say caused U.S. banks to conduct at least $100 million in funds transfers to aid the Iranian steel and copper industries.
Mr. Trump's point man on regulation favors a light touch. Donald Trump has tapped a longtime critic of heavy regulation to flesh out his new administration’s plans for remaking the financial rule book, including the potential dismantling of much of the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, WSJ reports. Paul Atkins served as a Republican member of the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008, where he spoke out against big fines for companies, arguing they punish shareholders. Now Mr. Atkins, 58 years old, is the member of the president-elect’s transition team charged with recommending policies on financial regulation, according to current and former regulators briefed on the matter.
CFPB faces de-fanging under Mr. Trump. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, already in legal limbo after an October court decision, could find its powers scaled back by President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican-led Congress, Reuters reports, citing members of both political parties, lobbyists and lawyers.
Financial firms turn to technology to serve regulatory needs. Financial services firms are increasingly turning to digital technology to meet onerous regulatory demands aimed at fighting financial fraud, creating a niche tech market that is estimated to grow to around $120 billion by 2020. Regulatory technology, or RegTech, offers banks automated solutions that can speed up the cumbersome process of vetting clients and transactions, which is necessary to prevent money laundering and other financial crimes.
Singapore convicts ex-BSI banker in 1MDB case. A Singapore court sentenced a key suspect in a continuing probe into alleged misappropriation at the Malaysian state fund 1MDB, making Singapore the first country to successfully prosecute an individual linked to the alleged multibillion-dollar fraud, WSJ reports. Yak Yew Chee, 57, a former relationship manager at the Singapore branch of Swiss bank BSI SA, pleaded guilty to two charges of forgery and two charges of failing to report suspicious transactions. He was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison and a S$24,000 (US$17,000) fine.
U.S. Interior Department issues rule for renewable-energy development on public land. The Interior Department issued a regulation aimed at speeding up development of renewable energy on federal lands, WSJ reports, one of at least five major energy rules the Obama administration is expected to release in coming weeks, even though they may be swiftly unraveled by President-elect Donald Trump.
India court ruling means firms must pay billions in back taxes. The Indian Supreme Court rejected a petition by major firms seeking the withdrawal of a tax on the movement of goods through the states, a decision that would force them to pay an estimated $4.5 billion in back taxes and interest, Reuters reports.
Rail regulators reject delay in drug, alcohol testing. Federal regulators rejected an effort by the railroad industry to delay a proposed expansion of mandatory drug and alcohol testing, WSJ reports, saying that a “crisis” of drug abuse requires immediate action.
FCC tells AT&T its "zero-rating" plan may be unfair. The Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to AT&T Inc. to express concerns over the telecom company’s practice of exempting its own streaming video services from data-usage caps for its wireless customers.
Tata Group continues fights with ousted chairman. Tata Motorsid Tata Sons called for an extraordinary general meeting to oust two directors, Cyrus Mistry and Nusli Wadia, from the automaker's board, as the nasty spat between the Tata and Mistry camps escalates, Reuters reports. Mr. Mistry denied that he mishandled a harassment case at the company's hotel arm, an incident that media reports said was one of the factors leading to his removal.
CME Group CEO to retire. CME Group Inc. Chief Executive Phupinder S. Gill, who has pushed the world’s largest futures-exchange operator into new markets in Europe and Asia since assuming the job in 2012, intends to retire Dec. 31, WSJ reports.
Zuckerberg denies Facebook fake-news problem. Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg fought back against accusations that the social network harmed political discourse this year by allowing fake news to flourish on the platform, WSJ reports.
Pollsters face reckoning after a year of failures. Pollsters are rethinking how they operate after a string of astonishing misses around the globe this year—from incorrectly calling the Brexit vote in the U.K., the peace accord with rebels in Colombia and now the U.S. presidential election.
New Balance faces social-media backlash after welcoming Mr. Trump. New Balance Athletic Inc. may be the first corporation to get hit by backlash against President-elect Donald Trump, WSJ reports. The privately held sneaker company—long an opponent of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement—welcomed the election of Mr. Trump as a reprieve from the policies of President Barack Obama.
Trump faces private lawsuits ahead of inauguration. President-elect Donald Trump is headed to Washington while involved in an array of private lawsuits, cases that could take time and attention away from his new job of running the country, WSJ reports. His lawyers in one of the most prominent cases—set to begin here on Nov. 28, regarding allegations of fraud against the now-defunct Trump University—addressed the concern at a hearing by asking that the trial be delayed while Mr. Trump prepares to take office. The judge asked the litigants to settle, Reuters reports.
College accreditors largely staffed by employees of schools they oversee. Two-thirds of the officials responsible for policing the quality of the nation’s colleges and universities are employed by schools their agencies oversee, WSJ reports, highlighting potential conflicts of interest in a system that faces reform efforts in Washington.

After my mummybakesdairyfree does the Great British Bake Off challenge I said I wanted to make more desserts and puddings. Most of my recipes on here are dinners which whilst being tasty sometimes a sweet treat is needed. This recipe uses one of the new allergy friendly lines on sale at Tesco- Oatly custard. My review of the custard will be online soon but until then here is a recipe featuring it!
Banoffee Pie, Banoffee Cake, Banoffee Trifle whatever the final product, the combination of bananas, caramel/toffee and cream is delicious. Not the most allergy friendly or healthy dessert but I can change that. My Banoffee Tarts are dairy, egg, nut and soya free. They’re also vegan and healthy, well healthier!! The caramel/toffee is sweetened by fruit and coconut sugar is used to sweeten the pastry. There is refined sugar in the custard and grated chocolate but everything in moderation, right?!
There are a few steps to this recipe but I’ve tried to simplify it as much as possible.
1. Sift together the flour and sugar, into a large bowl. Add the DF spread and rub together with your fingers until there are no more large lumps. Start to bring the pastry together with your hands, adding a tbsp of cold water if it’s too dry. Keep working the dough until a ball is formed. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
2. Whilst the pastry is chilling, preheat the oven to 200c. Grease four small tart tins with DF spread and cut out four circles of making paper. They should be larger than the tart tins.
3. Remove the dough from the fridge and divide into four equal portions. Rollout each portion into a circle less than 5mm thick, on a lightly dusted board. Carefully transfer each pastry circle onto the tins. Press the pastry into the tin, making sure there are no splits. Prick the bases of the pastry with a fork.
4. Then line each pastry case with the baking paper and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Make sure the beans are tightly packed in. Pop the tins onto a baking tray and place in the oven. Blind bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes take the cases out of the oven and remove the baking beans and baking paper. Return the cases to the oven for 10 more minutes.
5. Once cooked, take the pastry cases out of the oven and allow to cool slightly before trimming off the excess pastry. Remove the pastry cases from the tins and allow to cool fully.
6. Whilst the pastry tins are cooling you can make the toppings. Check out how to make the caramel date sauce here.
7. Pour the custard into a large bowl and use an electric whisk to beat it until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). You’re then ready to assemble!
8. Spooon a tbsp of the caramel date sauce into each of the tart shells, spreading it out evenly. Layer the banana slices on top of the caramel. Then spoon a couple of tbsps of the custard onto each of the tarts. Finally sprinkle with a little grated chocolate and finish with a banana slice. Enjoy!!!
I absolutely love banoffee pie and I have to say those little banoffee tarts looks right up my street! Caramel date sauce… what are you like, you naughty lady! Must check it now! #Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.

We each have dreams and goals, but many of us keep those goals in mind right next to self-limiting beliefs that tell us why we can't do or have the things we want. This week's Deep Dive is a special kickoff to an upcoming series where we'll be exploring our limits and blasting past them. Join the excitement here!
Holiday Help and a FREE Gift!
The holidays are hard on our bodies. We're eating more at parties, skipping meals because we're busy, and generally stressing out over our long to-do lists. This week's Deep Dive explores the link between stress and the 10 pounds that most Americans gain over the holidays. There's a lot you can do to protect yourself. Watch it here. M'lis has also put together a fabulous collection of recipes to help you on your way to being healthier. Even better, it's absolutely free if you sign up now. Get yours here.
Collagen is one of the biggest ingredients to hit the wellness market in a long while, but this has led to a lot of products that are simply scams. Many don't have the ingredients you need or have ingredients that impede your progress toward refining your skin and keeping your joints in peak health. The old adage that "more is better" doesn't work with collagen. You need the right type (that's right- just one!) and in the right dose. We've done the research for you. Check it out in this week's episode.
When you're trying to reach your goals, we tell you to keep your "why" in the front of your mind. Your reasons for wanting the changes you're making can be as powerful as the tools you are using. Today's Deep Dive tells the inspirational story behind M'lis and why we do what we do. Learn about our "Why."
Cold and flu season is here, so everyone is concerned about protecting themselves in the coming months. Many people assume that the immune system you start with is all you have, but there are many things you can do to support your immune system and boost your immune response. This week's episode explores the incredible control you can have through reducing things that suppress your immunity and adding the best measures to keep you safe from disease. Watch it here.
If you feel like you just haven't been getting enough good quality sleep lately, you're not alone. Big seasonal disruptions to our sleep patterns are common right now, and they impact our health, appearance, weight loss goals, and productivity. The old wisdom that everyone needs 8 hours of sleep every night no longer applies, but how much sleep do you need? How do you get the best possible sleep? Why does it matter? This week's Deep Dive explores this vital topic. Watch it here.

In a previous Clinical Tip, we discussed the role of the Triple Burner as the avenues of fluids, a view deriving primarily from the Nei Jing. Also, in the previous Clinical Tip, we discussed that of the Triple Burner as the agent of the Yuan Qi, a view deriving primarily from the Nan Jing. We shall now discuss the view of the Triple Burner in relation to the movement of Qi.
1) It stems from the Yuan Qi (discussed in the August Clinical Tip).
2) It governs all Qi of the body (we shall see how below).
3) The Triple Burner has “a name but no form”, i.e. it is not an actual organ but a function.
4) It pertains to the Shao Yang with the Gall-Bladder.
5) It is a Fu.
Let us explore now the meaning of the Triple Burner governing the movement of Qi. The movement of Qi in general is called the “Qi Mechanism” (Qi Ji 气 机).
This Qi Mechanism consists in the ascending/descending and entering/exiting of Qi in different places and different organs. Each organ has a particular direction of flow of Qi, e.g. Spleen-Qi ascends while Stomach-Qi descends. In each channel, Qi flows in an upward or downward direction. As acupuncturists, we are very familiar with the ascending/descending movement of Qi.We use this movement every time we insert a distal and a local point to treat a particular problem along a channel. For example, when we use L.I.-1 Shangyang (for example) and L.I.-15 Jianyu to treat a pain in the area of the acromio-clavicular articulation of the shoulder, we are making use of the ascending/descending movement of Qi along the Large Intestine channel. By stimulating the ascending/descending movement of Qi in the channel, we are removing the obstruction and therefore the pain.
We are somewhat less familiar with the “horizontal” movement of Qi, i.e. entering and exiting of Qi. Qi enters and exits in and out of various structures and organs. For example, Qi enters and exits the space between skin and muscles, the Membranes, the joint capsules, and all other cavities. Moreover, Qi “enters and exits” in every part of the body among the Tai Yang, Shao Yang and Yang Ming and among the Tai Yin, Jue Yin and Shao Yin.
Take the shoulder as an example. On the scapula we have Tai Yang (Small Intestine channel), on the lateral side of the arm we have the Shao Yang (Triple Burner channel) and further forward the Yang Ming (Large Intestine channel). Within this zone of the body, the Tai Yang area is on the most Yang area (the scapula), the Yang Ming on the most Yin area (because it is near the Lung channel) and the Shao Yang in the middle: this ties in with the view that the Tai Yang “opens onto the Exterior”, the Yang Ming “opens onto the Interior” and the Shao Yang is “the hinge”. Exactly the same reationship exists in the Yin between Tai Yin (most exterior of the Yin), Jue Yin (the hinge) and Shao Yin (most interior of the Yin).
Notice how it recommends the use of points in the front and the back for each area: in the chest, use the front of the chest and Back-Shu points; in the abdomen Back-Shu points and Chong Mai points; in the legs, ST-30 (front of leg) and BL-57 (back of leg). This suggests a “horizontal” movement of Qi within each area.The Triple Burner controls the ascending/descending and entering/exiting of Qi in the Qi Mechanism. One of the words most frequently used in Chinese books to describe this function of the Triple Burner is tong 通 which means “free passage”, “to pass through”, “penetrate”: this describes the function of the Triple Burner in ensuring that Qi passes through in the Qi Mechanism, in all the cavities and in all organs.
Chapter 38 of the Nan Jing also confirms that the Triple Burner exerts its influence on all types of Qi: “The Triple Burner stems from the Yuan Qi: it supports all of the Qi.”6 Chapter 31 confirms the influence of the Triple Burner on the movement of Qi in all parts of the body: “The Qi of the Triple Burner gathers in the avenues of Qi [Qi Jie]”.7 This means that the Triple Burner is responsible for the free passage of Qi in all channels but also all structures (such as cavities) of the body.Thus, the Triple Burner’s function in governing the movement of Qi is quite similar to the Liver’s free flow of Qi and indeed, there are many similarities.
With regard to the movement of Qi, it is useful to compare and contrast this function of the Triple Burner with those of Liver in ensuring the free flow of Qi.The Liver ensures the free flow of Qi and this aids the ascending and descending of Qi in all organs, and especially in the Stomach, Spleen and Intestines: the Triple Burner’s influence on the ascending/descending and entering/exiting of Qi extends to all organs. Moreover, the Triple Burner controls the entering and exiting of Qi in all parts of the body and especially the body cavities: the Liver has no such function in relation to the body cavities.
As the Triple Burner controls the movement of Qi in the Qi Mechanism. Its points may be used in a similar way to the Liver points to ensure the free flow of Qi. The main point I use to move Qi in the Triple Burner is TB-6 Zhigou.

A set of six coasters that represent what is unique about the state of Oregon!
Our coasters will add a touch of style to any room in your home, office, or wherever you decide to put them! They are the perfect balance between form and function. More than just a pretty picture, they work great too! A wet glass will never leave a permanent ring, nor will they stick to the bottom of your glass! They clean very easily with a dry or damp cloth, plus the face can be rinsed under running water, just no dishwasher please.
Images are professionally printed on a state of the art, self adhesive photo material which creates a permanent bond when applied to the tile. As an additional layer of protection, a matte laminate is applied to the surface. This ensures the coasters stay water, scratch, stain, and heat resistant. We also take the time to round the corners of the images for a professional look and feel!
Every tile we use is produced by a LEED certified, green company that believes in earth-friendly sustainability. Each tile is hand filed to remove any rough edges, then is backed with black eco-foam to safeguard against any surface abrasions and/or sliding. Each coaster measures 4 1/4 inches square, perfect for just about any size drink container you can imagine.
They have been reviewed by the Bees Go Buzz blog!
Thank you for shopping House of Six Cats!
You can check out everything that we have to offer by going to www.etsy.com/houseofsixcats.
Beautiful coaster set, thank you!

Porcine Zona Pellucida, or PZP, is a fertility-control vaccine given to the mares on the range through an injection or a simple dart. The vaccine prevents fertilization and pregnancy via an immune response that does not affect the animals’ hormonal system. As a result, the vaccine preserves the natural behaviors that distinguish wild horses from their domestic counterparts. It is scientifically proven with over three decades of use and is recommended by the National Academy of Sciences for use in BLM herds as an alternative to roundups and removals.
Success in the Field PZP works every place it is used properly, including in numerous BLM wild horse herds.
Spring Creek Basin, Colorado: PZP in use since 2012. The wild horse population has been stabilized at 62, and no horses have been removed since 2011. Bait trapping is prioritized over helicopter roundups for future removals, if any are necessary.
McCullough Peaks, Wyoming: PZP in use since 2012. Zero population growth achieved in 2015. No removals since 2013. Bait trapping is prioritized over helicopter roundups for future removals, if any are necessary.
Challis, Idaho: Use of PZP has slowed population growth rates, meaning a longer time between round- ups (5 years instead of 3 years) and the need to remove 70% fewer horses from the range. Bait trapping will be used instead of helicopters to remove just 50 horses from the range in 2017.
Little Book Cliffs, Colorado: PZP use has stabilized population growth rates in this herd. The last helicopter roundup was in 2009. In 2013, bait trapping was used to remove just 14 horses, who were all placed locally in adoptive homes.
Cost of yearly PZP vaccination: $30.

Incredible building site with long marsh views and view of the par 3 12th hole on the much acclaimed, Nicklaus course at Colleton River. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street. Great value. At this price with a long marsh view, this one won’t last long!

I believe regulations lag innovation and are often employed by entrenched entities to preserve their dominant position. Immoral? Maybe, but from an economic standpoint it’s entirely rational. Similarly, startups using new models or new technology often have to function in a grey area. Either the laws are unclear because they never anticipated the innovations or complying with the regulations are functionally burdensome prior to understanding exactly what your business looks like and whether it’s sustainable.
Copyright, crypto currency, sharing economy – these are all areas where startups have come under criticism for controversial approaches. The largest startups in these industries – or maybe lets call them insurgents since many are now worth billions of dollars – have started to engage with local, state and federal politicians to help constructively find a new set of guidelines. This is productive. Laws don’t just protect incumbents, they also protect customers, employees and our tax base.
During these negotiations and rewrites we need to be careful to not unintentionally (or intentionally) create the next set of barriers to innovation. For example, imagine the leading ride share companies come to agreements that require large capital expenditures in order to be certified. They can likely afford this given revenue trajectory and large fundraises but a new entrant in the space would not be in the same position. And no VC wants to fund that sort of expense in early rounds, prior to knowing whether or not the business itself can succeed. This is why I largely agree with Fred Wilson’s post about safe harbors being critical for innovation. We need to make sure that not only can new models become law, but that those laws support further experimentation.

Over the last decade or so under the Howard Government, there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the unauthorised arrival of asylum seekers. In this study, we analysed data collected from 602 Western Australians. We investigated why people think the way they do about asylum seekers using the function of attitude literature as a base; specifically participants’ values, their experience with asylum seekers, and their reliance on other sources for information. Results indicated that the Perth community overwhelmingly based their attitudes (positive or negative) on their values. Finally, we integrate these findings with other research regarding prejudice against asylum seekers, and give suggestions for attempting to present an alternative – more positive – view of asylum seekers than that often given.

Def JamQ-Tip has teamed with Wolf Of Wall Street co-stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, to develop a scripted TV series, which will be produced through DiCaprio’s production company, Appian Way.
According to Deadline, the drama project will be based loosely on the Grammy-winning rapper’s experience as a member of A Tribe Called Quest during the Native Tongues era. The series will also illustrate how their Afrocentric music transformed the hip-hop culture in the late 1980s and early 1990s and ultimately influenced today’s music.
Q-Tip, who is longtime friends with DiCaprio, started the group in 1985 when he and his friends Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Phife Dawg and Jarobi White were in high school.
While there is no writer attached, the untitled series is expected to be shopped to networks in coming days.

Replacement storm window costs can make the task of replacing your current window seem like a daunting and overwhelming task. One of the most important things to remember is that the replacement of your window should be a one time task, as your new one should be sturdy and withstand the test of time. There are also a number of considerations you can make which will allow you to relax and potentially enjoy the task at hand. Hopefully you will receive some answers through this article which will set you at ease about your upcoming replacement storm window purchase.
There are many perks that you will find as you begin your journey to find a new window, one of the greatest being their overall versatility which allows them to be completely customized to fit your needs. These may be made using a wide variety of materials, and they are most commonly found as vinyl replacement windows, as vinyl is very durable and easily fits into the space left by your old windows. Other materials may include aluminum, wood, and fiberglass, all equally durable and available based on your needs and personal preferences. All of these have the capability to be painted and altered in order to better fit your needs and style.
It is important to note the bay window replacement options available and possibly replacement storm window as well. These most often vary in color, ranging from a slightly blue tint to a clear, bright white. This color change is merely aesthetic and offers no real insight into the quality of the storm windows that you are considering, so feel free to select based on your decor and style preferences. There are truly limitless options when it comes to purchasing your replacement storm window, you are only limited by your own imagination.
Another important component of a replacement storm window is their incredible durability. These storm windows are practically scratch resistant and easily hold up against weather and other outdoor elements. They require little to no maintenance, do not discolor, and it is highly unlikely that you will ever have to replace your storm windows again. Keep that in mind when the task of finding a new window seems overwhelming, this will probably be the only time you have to undertake such a project.
Perhaps the greatest attribute of a replacement storm window is their overall affordability. They are available at a minimal base cost, which proves to be a one time as they typically need no maintenance after installation. Additionally, these can prove to bring you vast savings, specifically if you choose a replacement that is energy efficient.
An energy efficient replacement storm window holds even more perks than a typical replacement. These storm windows contain tighter seals around the perimeter which prevent outside air from seeping through and getting into your home. Their thickness and quality materials also provide extra insulation and their panes serve to block excess sunlight. These factors combined lead to an overall decrease in your monthly energy costs, by preventing outside elements from affecting the temperature inside of your home. Energy efficient storm windows may also provide you with an extra tax credit, just another way this model will save you money.
When buying a replacement storm window, it is important to remember a few things which will lead to the best purchasing decisions. The first is to shop around and obtain prices and quotes from a number of contractors. For estimates from your area, please take the time to fill out the form on our home page. This will provide you with multiple estimates from a variety of contractors near you, which will help you to make the best decision for your home and for your budget.
When researching it is important to make sure you get estimates for high quality, top of the line storm windows. As mentioned, this is a large undertaking and not something you want to do often, so make it count and buy the best product for the amount of money that you are willing to spend. Compare the best deals that you find with the best product, and you will be sure to make the choice that best fulfills your needs.
One of the best things you can do when looking for a replacement window is to consult others who have made similar purchases. Referrals from former customers are highly important because you can be certain that they will be honest. Check with your friends and family members, you may be surprised with the amount of insight that can give you on making this purchase. The Better Business Bureau is another great place to ask for referrals, as they will provide you with up to date information regarding the contractor you are considering for you replacement storm window.

Thinking of creating a Chatbot? Chatbots are the hot new channel for eCommerce marketing thanks to the benefits they extend to both the buyer and the seller, so it’s only natural that you’d want to build your very own chatbot for your online store or Facebook page.
After all, integrating a chatbot into your marketing, sales, and support is simple right? Shorter copy means less work…right?
Use our chatbot to answer common questions on our site’s checkout page.
What will be your chatbot’s name?
What are your chatbot’s values?
What is your chatbot’s age?
Where is your chatbot located?
What will your chatbots’s main objections and pain points be?
This is where things start to get really hard (especially if it’s your first time building/using one). Before implementing your chatbot, you need to attempt to predict and overcome your chatbot’s main objections and pain points.
In other words, what will people throw at your chatbot that will cause it “pain”. Will they attempt to give it a task it can’t handle? Will they grow frustrated over limited choice or overwhelmed with too many?
Often times, you’ll need to keep an eye out as even if you make a good prediction, you never truly know how your audience will interact with the chat bot. Being able to make adjustments and compensate for those objections and pain points on the fly will be as crucial as attempting to predict them in the first place.
Another area in which you’ll find things difficult is chatbot copywriting. This step can make or break your bot as it’s the only true user interface. If your chatbot’s messaging isn’t clear, quick, and imparted with personality, it just won’t work.
Ultimately, chatbots are still very young, and the technologies and strategies behind them are still rapidly changing. For this reason, it may be best to outsource the work to an agency or consultant who’s had previous experience in the field.

There are some people who have dementia who go out walking, can’t remember their way home and end up getting lost. The purpose of dementia friendly communities is to support someone who might appear in distress, if they are seen in the community, to have compassion for someone with a dementia, but they might not appear in distress.
People walk because they always have or because they have a purpose, even if we don’t understand what that purpose is. I’ve had clients that broke out of care home, breaking through doors to do so, because they had to go somewhere or be somewhere that was incredibly important to them, such as going to work, church or school. They might think that they are looking for something or someone. Whatever their reason, however inexplicable to the people around them, it makes sense to them.
It can be challenging to communicate with people with a dementia, so it is difficult for them to explain what they are doing and why and it therefore becomes harder to help them by the people around them. It is worthwhile taking some time to understand their reality, which might be being expressed in their facial expressions, or body language as well as through their verbal communication, which might be confused.
People with dementia are still people, they have human rights like everyone else and should not be treated as lacking their rights. They might need support and care but this should be provided with their rights in mind, so as not to try to restrict them, but to enable them to walk as safely as possible.
They can have a GPS tracker placed on them, if it is in their best interests to wear one and they can be covert, again, if it is in their best interests to wear one. There are some trackers that are insoles, so as long as the person is wearing their shoes, they will be wearing their tracker and can therefore easily and quickly be found, which is very relevant in extremes of weather, both hot and cold. They should not be tracked oppressively, as they are still entitled to their freedom and only when their life is at risk, should they be tracked.
Walking is difficult for those around the person with dementia to manage, if they do it a lot, they will need to be appropriately supported, with everything that they might need, such as appropriate footwear and clothing, contact details in their pocket, snacks and water. It is a tough role being a carer and they are amazing at it!
There are a number of GPS systems available on the market. Some are simple GPS trackers (which work with a SIM card, like a mobile phone), others have additionally functions, such as phone, panic/distress button or watch. Some devices are similar to pagers and some are like watches that can be worn on the wrist, amongst the designs available. Some devices have a location service associated with them, which has a pre-set protocol that will be agreed upon when the device is set up with the company, others may just work from an App and the individual can be located whenever the carer (App user) wishes.
It has been agreed by search and rescue organisations that this would be helpful in the scenario that a person with dementia (or possibly a learning disability or other cognitive impairment) gets lost and needs to be found by the emergency services, thereby protecting their Article 2 – Right to Life. The issue relates to the process of tracking an individual and their legal rights to wear it or have it put on them, their Article 3 right – Freedom from degrading treatment, their Article 5 – Right to Liberty and their Article 8 – Right to Private and Family Life.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 indicates that an individual is assumed to have capacity to make a decision unless it is proven that they do not. The capacity to make any decision is specific to the complexities of that decision and the time at which the decision needs to be taken. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 indicates that if an individual lacks capacity to make a decision, but will regain the capacity, as capacity can fluctuate, and the decision can be postponed, then it should be.
Within Scotland, the legislative framework is the Adults With Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, a different legislative framework than England & Wales with the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Within the Scottish legal framework, the principles discussed in this paper are consistent to the Adults With Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000.
In the situation where the individual has capacity to consent, in accordance with the test of capacity of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, then they can consent to wearing it themselves (or not if they so choose). In the scenario where the individual has a Health and Welfare Attorney or a Health and Welfare Deputy, then the Attorney or Deputy can consent to them wearing it.
If someone has indicated that they do not wish to wear one, then if they have capacity then it should not be placed on them. If they lack capacity, but have expressed the wish not to wear a tracker, then their previously expressed wish should be taken into account in making any best interests decision. It is therefore unlikely that it would be in the best interests of someone who has expressed the wish not to wear a GPS tracker for one to be placed on them, after the lost of capacity.
The remaining issue then relates to someone who lacks capacity, and is without an Attorney or Deputy for Health and Welfare. What is in a person’s best interest will always turn on its own set of fact and will be an individual decision in every case. However some general guidance can be considered.
Firstly there should be a protocol, which reflects the Principles of the Mental Capacity Act, that anything done should be the least restrictive of their rights and freedoms. Clearly the least restrictive is to do nothing, but this could cause serious harm to an individual at risk of wandering, which may be a risk to their Article 2 – Right to Life. Therefore any protocol for wearing one of these devices should be on the basis that it is worn and used the least restrictive manner (in accordance with Principles of the MCA), which would therefore indicate that it should only be used when the individual is at real risk of being lost and in danger and not simply to check up on them. Therefore once they are located and it is considered that the location is safe, then no further enquiries should be made and the individual should not be necessarily removed from their location. The individual is entitled to have their Article 11 – Rights of Assembly and Association respected. If the individual is in a place that the carer does not consider safe, then they can be located and their safety established and if necessary returned home or to hospital or to wherever is appropriate in the circumstances.
There is a risk that this could be used for an oppressive level of either monitoring and/or control over the life of an individual. A person with dementia is still entitled to live as well as they can and to make unwise decisions, if they have sufficient capacity to make such decisions, even if the carer does not agree with their decision/s.
The individual with dementia should therefore be entitled to live their life freely, go where they choose, associate with whomsoever they choose and should only have their location told to their carer, when the balance between the risk to their life is so great that it take paramount precedence over their right to their many freedoms.
The issue still remains, is it acceptable that a carer makes the decision that a person with dementia should wear a GPS tracker? MCA s.5 indicates that any act done in the care of an individual for their care is lawful if it is considered to be in their best interests. MCA s.5 is primarily aimed concerned at medical decisions, however does include the wording “care or treatment” [emphasis added], which could extend to the wearing of a GPS tracker for safety reasons, in the same way that “piper alarms” can be used in the home and considered part of their care.
Alternatively, it could be considered under the Research sections of the MCA (s30-34). These sections relate to “intrusive research”, as part of a “research project”, which would need “approval” by the “appropriate body”. These Research sections are primarily aimed at clinical trials, however on the basis that the research is the individual’s location, then these may be the applicable sections. In which case, in order for the research (into the individuals location) to be lawful, it would have to have approval by the Secretary of State in the case of England and the National Assembly in the case of Wales. If therefore opinion is such that these GPS trackers are considered Research rather than Care, then approval for them to be worn should be sought, on the basis of a defined protocol, that they would only be used to the extent that the risks to life outweigh the risks to rights and freedoms. The remaining issue is that of a “research project”, however if a protocol can be agreed, then the body making the application for approval can do so on behalf of individuals and companies for this research project.
The 2 main issues are firstly that someone with dementia will wander and have a serious accident or will be killed. Just because someone has dementia, they should still be allowed to take a certain amount of risk. It is about balancing the risk, but to be too risk averse just because someone has dementia would be to interfere too much with their privacy and freedom. If it is important to the person with dementia that they can have freedom to roam, then there must be an acceptance that is the price they pay to retain that freedom is a certain amount of risk.
The second issue is that the carer will use the tracker too oppressively. A good example of this is a husband and wife, if one of them were to roam and have an affair, then s/he should have freedom to do so, even if their spouse and carer, doesn’t want them to. Having an affair isn’t illegal and the spouse should not use the GPS tracker to interfere with their freedom of association, to do so, would be a breach of their human rights. But it’s very hard for the spouse / carer not to interfere, as there is a conflict in their role of carer and the role of spouse. The issue may not be an affair, but the person with dementia has freedom of association, so should be allowed to go where they want and meet with whomsoever they want, as long as it isn’t illegal.
It is likely to be lawful for a person with dementia, who lacks capacity to consent to wearing a GPS tracker, to have one placed on them by their carer if the protocol for locating them is followed and it is considered to be in their best interests to wear it. Approval by the Secretary of State or Welsh National Assembly may be required. In every case, it still has to be considered in the best interests of that particular individual with dementia to wear it, by their carer.

The leading eyewear expo confirms its global leadership position and its role of excellence in the trade show universe.
Milan, February 27, 2018 – The 48th MIDO – the leading eyewear trade show on a global scale – got off amidst high expectations and ended exceeding them all. More than 58,000 entries of eyewear professionals from around the world who experienced the “wonder” of an ever-growing MIDO. It filled 7 pavilions, packed with opportunities, events and innovations. The staggering increase in foreign attendees is tangible evidence of the international appeal of the event, while Italian attendance in the three-day show remained stable, resulting in a 4.9% increase in overall attendance and +5% in the exhibit space, with a record participation of 1,305 exhibitors.
An all-encompassing experience, the event also enjoyed massive social media success. The #MIDO2018 hashtag exceeded half a million interactions: comments, likes and shares. Social users participated in the stream of news from the show, generating an average of 100,000 ‘likes’ per day. Live stories were streamed, primarily on Instagram, from the show floor itself. A non-stop feed of posts from the profiles of visitors, bloggers, influencers and VIPs on hand at the show streamed alongside the official @mido_exhibition profile.
“MIDO is to eyewear what Oscar night is to cinema – observed MIDO President Giovanni Vitaloni. Increasingly more eyewear professionals view our show as the year’s top event for the industry and their participation, in ever-increasing numbers, attests to the thriving dynamism of the industry. We welcomed our 1,305 exhibitors in a venue that becomes more and more enjoyable each year, allowing all of us to focus on creativity and doing business during the three-day show. Our ability to tailor our approach to the show makes it “special” and extremely popular – an elegant and entertaining event where doing business and networking with colleagues from the world over is a daily occurrence”.
This year the theme was innovation – framed as a spectacular experience and as a business opportunity for eyewear professionals. Strutting their stuff were sports champions, VIPs from the entertainment world and famous web stars. The importance of MIDO for the Italian corporate world was underscored by the presence of Undersecretary of Economic Development, Ivan Scalfarotto who, along with the Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, and the CEO of Fiera Milano, Fabrizio Curci, cut the inaugural ribbon, reconfirming that Italian-made eyewear is a mainstay in the internationalization of Italy’s excellence.
The theme of innovation was also applied through showcasing the latest trends in an immense space dedicated to technology and machinery and in-depth exploration of the latest innovations in the professions. Also among the MIDO innovations for 2018 was its focus on eyecare, with the first “Eye Health Awareness Day” that brought together international institutions and associations active in the area of eye health. This initiative could lead to establishing an Italian ministerial registry of projects aimed at raising public awareness and, at the international level, an inter-association round table to continue the conversation and develop a joint campaign.
Save the date for Mido 2019: February 23rd to 25th, to re-live the MIDO wonder!

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aduro Biotech, Inc. today announced the establishment of a major collaboration with Novartis for the worldwide research, development and commercialization of novel immuno-oncology products derived from Aduro’s cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) approach to target the STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) receptor, that, when activated, is known to initiate broad innate and adaptive tumor-specific immune responses.
Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis will make an upfront payment of $200 million to Aduro and, if all development milestones are met, Aduro is eligible to receive up to an additional aggregate amount of $500 million. In addition, Novartis has made an initial 2.7 percent equity investment in Aduro for $25 million, with a commitment for another $25 million investment at a future date.
Aduro will lead commercialization activities and will book sales in the United States for any products developed and commercialized pursuant to this collaboration, with Novartis leading commercialization activities in all other regions. The companies will share in profits, if any, in the United States, Japan and major European countries. Novartis will pay Aduro a mid-teens royalty for sales in the rest of the world.
The agreement covers the joint research, development and commercialization of CDN-based therapies in the field of oncology. Aduro maintains rights to its CDN technology in all other therapeutic areas, including infectious disease and autoimmunity, among others.
Last year, Dr. Dubensky presented preclinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy Conference demonstrating potent anti-tumor activity in preclinical models treated with ADU-S100, the company’s compound based on its CDN technology. The preclinical studies included evaluation of ADU-S100 to stimulate and activate the STING pathway as an approach to generate an immune response that can specifically attack tumor cells. ADU-S100 is a novel synthetic CDN-based molecule that was developed based on its ability to stimulate human immune cells from a large pool of human donors that comprised all of the known STING receptors. In preclinical mouse tumor models, the data showed that direct intratumoral injection of ADU-S100 into melanoma, colon and breast tumors profoundly inhibited tumor growth both locally and systemically, with a durable response that provided protection against tumor regrowth and significantly inhibited growth of distal tumors. In addition, Aduro believes the immune-mediated destruction of distal tumors could be significantly enhanced by a combination of ADU-S100 and radiotherapy, a combination that may eventually be tested in human clinical trials.
Aduro’s proprietary CDN product candidates are synthetic small molecule immune modulators that are designed to target and activate a receptor known as the Stimulator of Interferon Genes, or STING, receptor. The STING receptor is generally expressed at high levels in immune cells, including dendritic cells. Once activated, the STING receptor initiates a profound innate immune response through multiple pathways, inducing the expression of a broad profile of cytokines, including interferons and chemokines. This subsequently leads to the development of an effective tumor antigen-specific T cell adaptive immune response.
Aduro Biotech, Inc. is a private, clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on the development of technology platforms to stimulate an immune response against cancer. Aduro’s lead platform is based on proprietary strains of live-attenuated, double-deleted (LADD) Listeria monocytogenes that induce a potent innate immune response and have been engineered to express tumor-associated antigens to induce tumor-specific T cell-mediated immunity. Aduro has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA for its lead LADD regimen, CRS-207 in combination with GVAX Pancreas in pancreatic cancer. The company is evaluating the proprietary immuno-oncology combination in the ongoing Phase 2b ECLIPSE clinical trial and has additional ongoing clinical trials with its LADD platform in mesothelioma and glioblastoma. The company is also developing clinical candidates using cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) synthetic small molecule immune modulators that are designed to activate the intracellular STING receptor, a central mediator of the innate immune response.

The Jeep's power brake system was "boosted" by a typical vacuum booster unit that worked off the vacuum of the Internal Combustion Engine. With the I.C.E. gone, an electric vacuum pump will provide the neccesary vacuum to operate not only the brake booster, but also the climate control system ducts. The pump itself is made by Gast, and is a self contained 12 volt pump. There is also a vacuum switch, in this case made by Square D, utilized in the system. The switch turns off the pump once around 23" hg vacuum is pulled. If the vacuum falls below ~15" hg (such as the brake pedal being depressed), the switch re-energizes the pump. Good Plan!
The Vacuum Pump and Vacuum Switch.
Before I knew where I would end up mounting the vacuum system components, I temporarily mounted the vacuum pump and switch to the front driver's side of the engine compartment. I hooked everything up and it worked, just as I suspected!
Once the front battery racks were made, I soon realized just how much free space there was under the battery racks, especially battery rack #2. Luckily, free space + solid metal nearby = an easy way to weld and mount things. First, I bought some 1/8" flat steel. Next I cut and welded pieces of it to the under side of the battery rack's lower tray to provide mounts. For the vacuum pump, I welded two long pieces and one short tab to the bottom of the tray. Next, I drilled three holes to match the three pre-threaded holes in the bottom of the vacuum pump.
welded to the underside of battery rack #2.
The vacuum switch was attached to the bottom of battery rack #2 in the same way as the vacuum pump, and right next to it. It only required one piece of flat steel, and mounted to it using two bolts.
Another necessary component of the vacuum system is a vacuum reservoir. The vacuum reservoir stores vacuum for use, so that the vacuum pump doesn't need to turn on for every little use of vacuum, but instead can run less frequently. Most vacuum reservoirs are made out of plastic. I decided to make a vacuum reservoir for the Jeep out of lengths of 2" Class 200 PVC pipe. I chose Class 200 PVC because Class 200 has thinner walls than Schedule 40 PVC, and thus has more volume for than an equally sized length of schedule 40 PVC.
I bought 2" blank cap ends to close off the sections of PVC I would use as the vacuum reservoir. I then drilled holes in each cap end to accept a threaded metal barb fitting for the vacuum hoses to attach to. The first tube of the vacuum reservoir has one cap with a 5/16" Inner diameter hose barb (input) and one cap with a 1/4" barb (output). The second tube of the reservoir has both caps with a 1/4" barb in them. The last tube of the vacuum reservoir has a 1/4" barb in one cap (input), and both a 1/8" and a 5/16" barb in the other cap (output). The metal barb fittings are screwed in tightly. I then put silicon around them to make a vacuum tight seal.
screwed into 6 2" PVC caps for the vacuum reservoir.
Once the caps were made, it was time to attach them to the three lengths of 2" diameter PVC I had cut. I used the purple primer to clean the pipe and caps. Then glued them together with the blue (quick drying) PVC cement. The last step was I spray painted the vacuum reservoirs white to hide the lovely combonation of purple and blue stains which had been left by the PVC chemicals. I then connected 1/4" hose between each of the three sections to form one big reservoir, and installed the new vacuum reservoir underneath front battery tray #2, between the vacuum switch and power steering pump.

Words of love from my clients.
"Before hiring May as my coach, I worked as an administrative coordinator at a tech company. I was working in my dream industry, but I wasn’t being challenged in my role and felt incredibly frustrated. The admin job was meant to get me by while I built up a tech portfolio and finally got the experience I needed to get hired in a “real tech job” after that. But it felt like it was going to take years and years.
I felt like my career was stalled because of my employers, because they didn't understand my talents. But May helped me to realize that I needed to take ownership of my dissatisfaction with my career. She didn’t sugar coat anything, and helped me to really focus on what I wanted in my career, and create a step by step plan to make it happen. After every call with May, my dream career – which had seemed like a pipe dream – felt more and more achievable.
I decided not to wait – I quit the admin job that wasn't working for me and focused all my energy on the tech jobs I’d always wanted while building my portfolio and networking at the same time.
Now I’m an Account Manager at a tech company! I’m so happy that I’m finally exactly where I wanted to be in my career, instead of staying on a career path that didn't make me happy."
I decided to work with May after feeling lots of ups and downs in my work life. When I got a “win” at work, I would feel on top of the world, but if something didn't go my way, I often felt crushed and burnt out. I was trying to do “all the things” instead of focusing on what really mattered to move my career forward.
In working together, May helped me find my creative voice, trust it, and nurture it and finally create a lifestyle that sustains me instead of burns me out! This is a big deal for me, as I’d been dealing with burnout and exhaustion even while gaining more material success and acclaim in my industry. The coaching made all the difference in my transition to a new level of success in my career and I can't wait to work with May again!

The sign-up sheets for the winter Saber Sports season have been posted for students. This season runs roughly from mid-November to mid-February. We’re continually polling students and analyzing our options to expand our Saber Sports offerings. As members of VISAA (Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association), a priority is to participate in state-sponsored sports. Beyond that, we work to accommodate student desires, maximize faculty availability, and partner with the greater community. Things we have offered in the last year (tennis, swimming) that did not “make” will not be offered this year but may be offered again in the next couple of years as populations and logistics change. It’s important that students sign up now so that coaches can be hired and games can be scheduled. We are not an athletic “cut” school, but students who do not sign up now and decide to show up at the start of the season may find there are no roster spots available.
MS practices at TNCS are typically 3:30–4:30, 4 days/week. Some practices may be offsite with parent pick-up at TNCS at 5:15.
Last year, we had 1 MS girls team and 4 MS boys teams that were divided by age and ability for practices and competitions.
US practices are offsite or begin at TNCS after the MS practices are completed.
There will be a study hall at school for US teams that start practice at 4:30 or later.
Wrestling will be offered in partnership with Richmond Wrestling Club.
Participating students are responsible for joining RWC for the season.
Depending on sign-ups, practices will likely be evenings in the wrestling room at St. Christopher’s School.
Competitions will likely be through a local Sunday afternoon league.
Rock Climbing will be offered in partnership with Triangle Rock Club.
Participating students are responsible for joining TRC for the season.
Students will be bused to TRC and supervised by TNCS faculty.
Sessions will be after school 3-4 days/week.

Johnson noted the Chicago Police Department has just begun the years-long process of implementing a consent decree under the watchful eye of a federal monitor.
“It’s important that the leadership believes in it, which I do and the command staff does. I don’t know if the next person will be as vested … as I am,” he said.
Johnson needs one more year to be fully vested in his pension as superintendent. But he emphatically denied that’s what’s behind his desire to stay.
“It’s about this city, and it’s about the police department. I honestly, with every bone in my body, want to see this police department looked at in a more positive light in certain areas of this city,” he said.
Johnson’s fate is uncertain, no matter who wins Tuesday’s mayoral runoff.
Toni Preckwinkle has vowed to replace him for refusing to acknowledge the existence of a code of silence in the police department.
Lori Lightfoot has said she won’t make a change during the traditional summer surge of violence. Beyond that, she’s been non-committal.
Isn’t that the very definition of a code of silence? Why the hesitation to use the term?
“When I look in the dictionary, I don’t see ‘code of silence.’ This is a term and a phrase that people come up with — and that’s fine. It means different things to different people,” he said.
During a wide-ranging interview with the Sun-Times, Johnson also talked about an epidemic of recent suicides that has prompted seven Chicago police officers to take their own lives in recent months.
Within a few months, CPD will have 11 licensed clinicians, compared to the paltry three that were so heavily criticized in the U.S. Justice Department’s scathing indictment of the Chicago Police Department.
Now the challenge is convincing officers in what Johnson called the “macho profession” of law enforcement to take advantage of those counseling services.
“It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of courage when you reach out to get help. You have to unpack these things,” Johnson said.
“It kind of cleansed me. To be honest, I felt like an anchor had been taken off my shoulders,” Johnson said.
On Friday, the police department buried another one of its own: 23-year-old John Rivera. He was sitting in a parked car after a night out on the town with his girlfriend and buddies in River North when he was shot to death in what Johnson has called a case of mistaken identity.
Rivera’s death hit close to home for the Johnson family.
“He called me that morning. I could tell he was just a little off,” Johnson said.
Has the superintendent encouraged his son to talk to a counselor?
“If it gets to that, of course. And I would offer to go with him,” he said.

Thank you to my lovely friend Duchess of Prunes for nominating me to write about my first WordPress post. This will be a nice segue into, you know, actually blogging again! It is good to reflect upon where you began and what inspired you to take the plunge and spend several hours in a day setting up your own personal blog.
Copy-paste, link, pingback (or whatever way you want to) your first post.
State what type of post that was – for example: introduction, story, poem.
Hmm, best described as a rather offbeat, meandering preamble. One can’t help but feel the need to be polite and do some sort of introduction.
So, instead of going into an undistorted description of myself, I dissected my blog title and annotated the words “Hazelnut” and “Pie.” Doing so with drifting details, I thought, would adequately allude to my personality. My long-distance boyfriend, to my surprise, actually loved it. He is quite intelligent and hard to please, so his praise meant a lot to me. Without his prestigious affirmation, I might not have continued.
Explain why that was your first post.
October 10th was a meaningful day on which to commence my blog. A big reason why I decided to start writing here was that I wanted to “work” on myself during my time apart from my boyfriend, to whom I am very attached. I was making a list of how I would get through the year without him, which led to the realization that his being gone allowed me the time and space to write. I had the epiphany that finally, I was not writing essays for professors to critique. I could write for myself, as a leisure activity, and that felt wonderful. October was the proper month for me to begin, because not only is it my favorite, but it is probably the best month for my brain chemistry. The 10th of October was an acknowledgement of our 3 year anniversary, which is technically on October 11th. I guess that I wanted to put a whimsical twist on an otherwise sulky time.
The name Hazelnut Pie was a great idea! It’s uncommon (in a cute way) and I love it! I also like writing when it doesn’t feel obligatory.
