With the shortest day of the year upon us, making the most of what light is available is often at the forefront of our minds – especially here at VisionAGI. Rooflights can provide the answer – not just in winter when we really need to take advantage of those available daylight hours, but year round when we can relish the lighter, brighter, longer days.
So, when we are talking rooflights why not replace your entire roof with glass rather than just installing one? The results can be nothing short of spectacular as you can see from this home office open to the sky by Michael Haverland Architects.
If you run a creative business from home or are an artist, then the light becomes even more important. We love these artists studios and one which also combines a home office by Feldman Architecture and Sellars Lathrop Architects respectively.
The kitchen is the heart of any home and often the one that benefits most from the addition of rooflights. There is after all, nothing like natural light to lift your décor and also make the room look bigger. If you think that your kitchen is way too small, then this compact farmhouse themed kitchen proves that small is not just beautiful – but well-lit too!
If your taste is more industrial, then look at the impact that adding some light to a dark monochrome décor brings as in this project by the Renovation Design Group.
Perhaps you’re in that enviable position where you can plan your dream kitchen and space and cost really aren’t a factor. We just love the rustic beams around these rooflights in this kitchen by Brian Patterson Designs.
Sutton Suzuki Architects have used a double layer of rooflights in this stunning traditional kitchen design which for most of us, is probably a lottery-win dream.
However, at VisionAGI we are adept at coming up with the light source solution that fits your budget, lifestyle and home when it comes to rooflights. If you’re inspired then we’re equally inspired to help you. Contact us on ways to beat the winter blues and to live in the light all year round.

These are seriously high quality, performance pieces of kit, not like the Amazon specials I usually have to make do with!
More price drops - surely there are ladies on here for this superb and bargaineous cycle kit - or gents (or ladies of course) who would like to buy it for their wives/girlfriends?
Hi, can you confirm the price for everything including postage please?

Glassblowing is incredibly visceral art form that requires an intimate understanding of fluid dynamics. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make beautiful glass sculptures. I’m particularly interested in using the torch to make fine details for my house.

Trees are an important part of both our communities and the ecological systems in which we live, providing significant economic, social, and environmental benefits. They are as necessary as water, roads, and energy to sustaining healthy communities.
I worked with the Georgia Forestry Commission and Jim Urban to develop this interactive model urban forest. It was created to provide communities and citizens, as well as professionals in the field, with the information, tools, and references necessary to begin to plan their development with the “green infrastructure” of the urban forest in mind.

A little more than Streetstyle!
Someone once said "Never compare your beginning with someone else's middle" & it is so true. Firstly one should not even compare as each individual in this planet or universe leads a different journey in their lives & when you compare yourself with another be it in any field, it only puts you down. Even when it comes to blogging, a lot of aspiring bloggers today feel highly demotivated looking at the lives the successful bloggers lead. What we as beginners (or not beginners) don't realise is that these girls or boys have come a long way in their journey to success, and were smart enough to start something of their own (such as a blog) when the time was ripe. The same goes for the vloggers as well, but that can be no reason to put yourself down & fight through the system, instead just do what your heart says. Do what makes you happy, be more creative, a lot different, always thrive to stand out in the crowd but never so much that you get lost in the process that it troubles you. I myself being a blogger for almost 2 years now, am still struggling but I am proud that I haven't given up & never will. I will try to give you guys, my fellow readers & fans who support me so much as much ideas & inspiration I can through my content. Even in the book of secrets they say, if you wish for something really strongly, the universe will do all it can to make it come your wish come true, but you got to have patience. And to get to a stage like this, you have to believe that you will succeed, not one day but each day a little by little. So today I am thankful to all those beautiful people who have been a part of my blogging journey.
Hope you all enjoyed the pictures, waiting to be bring you more such content :) These beautiful pictures clicked & edited by Avinash Murthy!
Till then don't forget to follow me on my social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & Snapchat! See you soon!

I posted a bit of speculative commentary on the iPad and cloud in February 2010, before the device came out. And here you have it, the iCloud. From what I can see, it works exactly like I wrote, except maybe for the fact that you need to wait for a moment for the data to sync. Good thing those Apple Stores have a fast wireless network.
The next thing Apple will have to do is enforce all official Apple points of sale to have similar, great, wireless experience, so that the process works wherever you purchase an iPad.

A no-deal Brexit could damage smaller economies trading with the United Kingdom, hit European Union (EU) exports hard, but bring substantial gains for China, says the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), whose research suggests the United Kingdom and its future trading partners need to expedite bilateral deals to avoid the costs of such a Brexit.
These costs are considerable, the research found, with the EU standing to lose out on $34.5 billion in exports to the United Kingdom.
The second-biggest loser in the event of the UK’s no-deal departure from the EU would be Turkey, taking a $2.4 billion export hit, according to an UNCTAD press release.
China could gain an additional $10.2 billion in exports to the United Kingdom, with the second-ranked United States standing to add $5.3 billion through its exports to the nation.
The UK market accounts for about 3.5 per cent of world trade and is an important trading partner for many developing countries. In 2018, the UK was the fifth largest importer inside the EU. It imported almost $680 billion worth of goods from the rest of the world, of which about $360 billion came from other EU countries.
The UNCTAD research estimates that the largest losses would accrue to EU countries, given that they are the most economically-integrated with the United Kingdom.
But other countries are likely to see a decline in their exports as well. The research cites South Korea, Pakistan, Norway, Iceland, Cambodia and Switzerland as countries at risk.
The biggest beneficiaries of a no-deal Brexit, meanwhile, would be countries which current face higher tariffs. Japan could expect to gain $4.9 billion.
In a no-deal Brexit scenario, EU preferential trade agreements with third countries will abruptly cease to apply, and imports to the United Kingdom could end up taking place on Most Favored Nation (MFN) terms.

Facebook is adding the ability to search for specific posts this week.
Consider this a warning to anyone who has ever posted something cringe-worthy on Facebook: The social network is rolling out an improved search function that has the potential to unearth your most embarrassing posts.
"With a quick search, you can get back to a fun video from your graduation, a news article you've been meaning to read, or photos from your friend’s wedding last summer," Tom Stocky, Facebook's vice president of search, said in a blog post.
The new changes are expected to be implemented this week in the United States for iOS and desktop.
While the update is exciting it also has the ability to quickly bring up your entire history on the social network, granted your privacy settings are set to share with friends or the entire public.
For the early adopters of Facebook, that could mean up to a decade's worth of posts.
Before you get trigger happy with the delete button, there are a few things you can do to make sure your privacy settings are exactly where you want them to be.
It's possible to limit how far back other users can explore your timeline. Go to settings, then privacy and choose "limit old posts." This will change anything that was public or shared with friends of friends to "friends only."
However, it's important to note that if a friend is tagged in a post, their friends will likely be able to still see it too.
Also under the privacy settings tab, users are able to click "use activity log" and review everything they have been tagged in and are able to change who it is shared with.
The timeline on the right side of the page can be used for quickly traveling back in time to adjust the settings on even the oldest posts in which a you've been tagged.
Finally, it's a great time to go through Facebook's three step privacy check-up to ensure your settings are as open or iron clad as you want them to be.
Go to settings and then choose "Privacy Checkup," where you'll be guided by a friendly blue dinosaur through three quick steps to make sure you're sharing with the right people.
Twitter unveiled a similar feature last month that allows users to search every public tweet ever sent.

In writing what do you find the most difficult?
Shutting out the rest of the world in order to concentrate. As a wife and mother with pets, I often have to ask my muse to ‘hold that thought’ while I get up to take care of my family.
Where did the idea of XenoFreak Nation come from?
Bryn Vega is a really strong character, where did the idea come from for her?
Because I plot as I write, my characters develop as I go. Like all the people populating my stories, Bryn began nebulously and gained form and function as the story took on momentum. She is an ‘imperfect heroine’ because she makes mistakes. Those are my favorite characters to write, so I can show how they learn and grow by the end of the story.
How important is the relationship between Bryn and Scott in the story?
To me, it’s essential. I think romance is the stuff of life, and I make sure all my books have it in some measure. But in order to accommodate my male readers, I avoid treating it with a heavy hand.
XenoFreak Nation hits on politics, moral dilemmas, and discrimination, how do you feel this story relates to problems of today's world?
Today’s world is incredibly complicated. The average person is on the ‘user’s end’ of technology and politics, with a vague, conflicting notion that bureaucracy is a bloated but necessary evil to ensure checks and balances. If you dig into any system, you’ll find the history behind why it functions the way it does. And sometimes that function is tied to an outdated catalyst - why the system was set up in the first place. Xenofreak Nation is set twenty years from now and attempts to depict what will happen if today’s world maintains status quo. Whenever a system, like the one in the book that regulates how and why bio-engineered animals can be used, is caught between debating factions - some believe it could benefit from a good overhaul - others think it’s fine the way it is (generally because it benefits them) - any potential improvements are stalled until one side gains a majority of the power. The checks and balances can effectively halt progress.
Tattoos are either considered body art or something disgusting, you brought that into your story in such a new way. How important was that for you to showcase it in XenoFreak Nation?
By nature, tattoos make the body a billboard, saying either, “This image is important enough to me to permanently affix it to my body,” and/or “I enjoy using my body as a canvas for these images.” They are often used to stake a cultural claim, “I belong,” even if it’s just to say, “I belong among those who flaunt society’s expectations of me.” In Xenofreak Nation, the new tattoo consists of an animal skin graft, and there are ethical arguments for and against the practice. On the ‘against’ side, is the animal cruelty argument. On the ‘for’ side are those who insist that, just like using all parts of farm animals raised for food such as leather for our shoes, all parts of the animals bio-engineered to provide organs for human transplant should be used - and why not for decoration, like a designer pair of shoes?
What do you wish readers will get from XenoFreak Nation?
Hopefully a rollicking good read! But also a unique perspective on cultural tolerance - there is more than one side to any given story, no matter how abhorrent it may seem.
Where can readers buy XenoFreak Nation?
It’s available from all major ebook retailers (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords).
In one word how would you describe XenoFreak Nation?
Words with Ernie Laurence Jr., Author of of "Islands of Loar: Sundered"
Can you tell us a little bit about "Islands of Loar: Sundered?"
The setting for Sundered is twenty chunks of a planet that exploded a couple of millennia in its past. These "Islands" are roughly the surface area of Oklahoma to Montana. In the world of Loar, the gods are said to have left before The Sundering, the great cataclysm that tore the planet apart, which is part of why it happened. The legend goes that they grew upset with the growing dependence on technology and left the mortals alone with it. Technology is alleged to be the direct cause of The Sundering.
Magic, specifically elemental magic, saved those Islands and life on them, though the raw energy from the cataclysm warped a lot of things, especially the flora and fauna. The Geomancers have disappeared after creating these gigantic gates called pulons that allow travel between the Islands. The Hydromancers are river rats and treated as third class citizens. After the War of Wind and Fire, the Aeromancers nearly wiped out the Pyromancers and enslaved the rest. Now the Aeromancers dominate and many fear to rebel against them since they still maintain the atmosphere around each Island.
There are a number of forces attempting to finish the destruction of Loar, from within and without. Three groups of heroes, unknown to one another, are set on paths to address these issues. In a world that is withering away in body and soul, crushed by despair, these heroes and a few others who will join them later, are all that stands between total annihilation for the world.
I've been writing since the 6th grade. I have a lot of novels written, but never published. You can visit my wiki to see more of them. While in college I was hired by a gaming company to help design a Lord of the Rings game. I was in charge of the design of Barad Dur, all of the romantic interests, and designing quests, layouts, and a host of other things. After the company had its funding pulled, I went to work for Sony Online on the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG as a quest designer.
Through it all I've kept writing. Islands of Loar is the latest series I've written but will be the first published because it is the most mature and refined.
Heh. That list is so incredibly long it's hard to mention here. I have a Goodreads page and anyone who wants can look at it. Tolkien, certainly. Madeline 'Lengle "A Wrinkle In Time" was my first science fiction/fantasy book ever. (I was into Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew before that.) Terry Brooks had a very large influence throughout my writing career.
Of course I would be remiss if I did not state that my biggest influence, especially in those earlier books, is the Bible. I do my best to be a devout Christian. One of the biggest inspirations for me in that vein is that I am what is known as a preterist with regard to eschatology. My earlier books are built directly from that belief.
Some of the newer authors that I have loved are Brent Weeks (Night Angel trilogy), Brandon Sanderson (Elantris, Mistborn), and George Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire). I've also been reading a number of indie authors that have some really good stuff.
What was it like working with "Hero's Guild Publications"?
The owner, chief editor, and staff are all a bit crabby and work too long. They are slave drivers and are on me constantly, 24/7 and never let up!
Hero's Guild Publications is my company, and I am sole proprietor, chief editor and dishwasher, marketing executive, etc. Though I will be considered self-published for a while, in a couple of years the plan is to begin publishing other authors as a full, small-time press. I want to make sure I work out the kinks of publishing on my own novels before I start working with others whose book's I'll be responsible for managing.
A man named Alex Broca. I found him on Deviantart.com. I gave him the layout I wanted and he fulfilled it exactly. Also, a fellow author named Ray Mauritsen designed the title and author name parts and did a fantastic job. Alex will be doing all four covers for the series and possibly the rest of the novels as well if our relationship continues as well as it has so far.
At the moment I'm doing the social media thing, Facebook ads, word of mouth and blog interviews like this one. As income flows, I'll be looking into other forms to reach a wider audience. I'm still learning like a lot of others. I'm not afraid to listen and learn if others have advice that has worked for them.
I tend to post up a lot more information on my author page on Facebook. I also have a digital appendix for Sundered and all the other novels at the wiki.
I'm not as in to blogging yet as some might advise me to be. I imagine as time progresses and I learn more worth posting I'll post more. For now, I'm content to read others' blogs and stick with writing/editing novels. If some want to add me, I guarantee they won't get inbox spam from goodreads on my blog posts for the next few months. Here it is.
I have three more books in this quartet to polish and publish. Then I will consider going back to my very first works and bringing them up to date and publishing those. I also have three more trilogies planned in various time settings in Loar that are as of yet unwritten. There is definitely no dearth of material for me, just the time needed to get them all out and done.
I'm happily married to my wife, Heather, who is the one motivating me to publish instead of just write. I have twins that are two right now. Kade Auren is my son. He is named after one of the characters, well, maybe the character, in my novels. Gwynevere Anne is my daughter. I'm a Physics teacher. I suppose if one wants to know more than that, they can look me up on the wiki or like my author page on Facebook.

U.S. President Donald Trump leads a prison reform roundtable in the Roosevelt Room at the White House, on Jan. 11, 2018 in Washington, DC. State and local leaders joined Trump to discuss programs intended to help prisoners re-enter the workforce among other policy initiatives.
WASHINGTON – When President Donald Trump met with six Republican senators last week to talk about trade, the lawmakers issued a stark warning: Implementing an unrestrained “America First” agenda – such as withdrawing from the North American Free Trade Agreement – would endanger stock prices that have soared since his election.
Just steps from the Oval Office, the president listened as GOP Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Pat Roberts of Kansas depicted the potential fallout if Trump follows through on his threats to quit NAFTA.
The talks, which will resume later this month in Montreal, have been stalled over U.S. demands for significant concessions from Mexico and Canada. The impasse has prompted treaty proponents to search with growing urgency for any argument that might sway the president, leading to the new emphasis on finance.
On Wednesday, pro-NAFTA forces looked prescient when an errant wire service report that Canada thought a U.S. pullout was imminent erased more than $2 billion from General Motors’ value in less than 90 minutes.
The Roosevelt Room meeting on Jan. 4 included trade advocateGary Cohn, who left his Wall Street job at Goldman Sachs to head the National Economic Council, and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who shares Trump’s instinctive protectionism.
The two aides personify the tension between the record-setting bull market, which the president considers validation of his economic stewardship, and the tough trade measures that he has repeatedly promised his blue-collar supporters.
“The stock market is hitting one all-time record after another. . . . Everybody happy with your 401(k)? Because if you’re not, there’s something very wrong,” the president told a farm belt audience in Nashville on Monday.
After the meeting, the White House said the president talked to the senators about seeking “more equitable trade deals with our partners, increasing exports and ensuring American industries are treated fairly around the globe.” A spokesperson from trade representative’s office declined to comment on the discussion, which was described by a former trade official who works for a pro-NAFTA farm group.
But the president’s willingness to court a breakup of the 1994 treaty risks “serious market repercussions,” said a business executive who is familiar with the internal administration debate and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential talks.
A second executive, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential deliberations, said treaty supporters are arguing that pulling out of NAFTA would neutralize the economic gains that the administration anticipates from the recent $1.5 trillion tax cut.
Last week’s White House meeting was at least the second time the president had heard from NAFTA supporters about the financial fallout of withdrawing from the treaty. In early December, during a similar session with another group of senators, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, showed Trump a chart demonstrating that his April threat to exit NAFTA caused pork futures to sink, according to a third executive briefed on the closed-door meeting.
NAFTA supporters hope that the warnings will resonate with a president who frequently boasts about lofty stock values. Earlier this week, Trump touted the market’s performance on four out of five days, including three times on Jan. 4. Since the 2016 election, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has increased 29 percent.
Trump’s enthusiasm for the market is matched by his decades-long demand that the United States reorient its trade policy to benefit American workers. Within days of taking office, the president withdrew the country from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-nation trade deal that was the centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s Asia policy.
Since then, Trump’s trade actions have paled in comparison to his tough campaign talk. On Tuesday, the White House announced that he will travel to Davos, Switzerland, this month for the annual World Economic Forum, an elite gathering regarded as the cradle of globalization.
But starting later this month, he is scheduled to decide several pending trade disputes that could reshape U.S. commercial ties with its largest trading partners. On Jan. 26, three days after the start of NAFTA renegotiations in Montreal, the president will face a deadline to announce whatever action he plans in a trade dispute involving Chinese-made solar panels.
The president also will confront decisions in cases involving imported washing machines, China’s alleged theft of American intellectual property, and limiting imported steel and aluminum in the name of national security.
White House officials say that the president is presiding over a deliberative process that balances a tougher trade stance’s likely gains with its potential costs. Multiple White House agencies, including the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the National Economic Council and the National Security Council, are involved in creating the administration’s trade stance.
Information is often relayed to Trump, who has been critical of U.S. trade policy since the 1980s, in hopes of keeping him briefed on the potential fallout from any decisions. White House officials said that they are mindful of complaints raised by farmers andindustry groups, and that they are conducting their own economic assessments.
Some pending decisions would be more consequential for financial markets than others. The International Trade Commission, an expert body that administers U.S. trade law, already has ruled that U.S. companies have been damaged by rising imports of solar panels and washing machines. So most analysts expect the president to authorize trade restraints in those cases, a move that would affect a limited number of companies.
But a NAFTA walkout would be a diplomatic bombshell with the potential to cause much greater market damage.
Although investors are braced for the president’s trade announcements, most expect the United States to reach a deal with Mexico and Canada on a modernized accord, which would include new language on trade in digital services and perhaps changes in provisions governing the energy sector.
Industry executives have been cheered by the company Trump has been keeping. When the president traveled to Nashville this week, he took along Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, a NAFTA supporter who assured worried farmers that the president would deliver them a new deal – not just blow up the current one.
Wednesday’s rumor about an impending U.S. withdrawal sent stocks, bonds and currencies lower in all three NAFTA countries, a sign that investor confidence remains fragile, said several market professionals.
“Whenever President Trump opens his mouth about tariffs, everybody gets nervous again,” said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at Bank of Montreal Capital Markets Corp., who expects a deal.
Despite the warnings that Trump is receiving, there is no iron link between global trade and the stock market. The S&P 500 index, the broadest measure of the U.S. stock market, has risen about 50 percent since the beginning of 2014 despite a decline in global trade volumes over that period, according to World Trade Organization statistics.
In continuing to climb through 2017, stocks also shrugged off a surge of Commerce Department trade enforcement actions. The Trump administration in 2017 opened 79 antidumping and countervailing-duty investigations – a 52 percent increase from the previous year.
But industry representatives who favor the status quo argue that a NAFTA collapse would so disrupt North American supply chains, especially in the auto industry, that it would trigger a market sell-off. Farmers are worried about losing export sales to Mexico if NAFTA ends. The beef industry has warned that Mexico would place 25 percent tariffs on U.S. exports.
The stock market link is less visible in the debate about potential trade actions against China, which also have broader support. U.S. companies have grown increasingly frustrated with China’s failure to prevent counterfeiting of its products and its requirement that they surrender their technology secrets in return for access to the Chinese market.
The White House delayed most key trade policy decisions last year to concentrate on completing a $1.5 trillion tax cut bill, but officials are now returning to their trade agenda. The move is driven by an awareness that the president, saddled with low public approval ratings, needs to deliver something to the working-class voters who cheered his trade message.
Trump was elected in part because of support in rust belt states that have lost millions of manufacturing jobs in recent decades.
Even as economists highlight the role of automation in reducing factory employment, many voters in those communities blame a quarter century of trade agreements for encouraging the movement of U.S. jobs to countries such as Mexico.
“With the liberalization of trade policy, you’ve really seen the people who put President Trump into office adversely affected,” said Andy Puzder, former chief executive of CKE Restaurants and Trump’s first nominee to be labor secretary.
Trump is approaching the trade decisions the way he has long handled business decisions, he added. “There are risks, but if you are a business person who has had experience in this area, you know how far to push,” Puzder said.

I had to come to terms with a less than ideal situation pretty early on in life. This meant I was fostered from the age of 5 right up until my 18th birthday. So it’s been an interesting journey, complex and way beyond my control.
Thing is, sympathy is not the answer to hardship. Most people hate the idea of others feeling sorry for them. Actually, I’ve discovered for myself that God’s grace not only saves me but empowers my life too. It’s upon this truth where I’ve found true freedom. I’m so glad to be part of the Junction Church community. Here, I found family. Here, I’m safe. Here, I’ve grown and flourished.
In a less than perfect world, God’s grace has made a universe of difference to me. This doesn’t mean I suddenly have answers to all the complicated questions of life. I don’t. We’re all born into a unique set of circumstances. Everyone has struggles. Just because someone else might have been brought up differently to me doesn’t mean they don’t have their share of issues too. These normally just take a different form. That’s why it’s a mistake to measure a person’s inward wellbeing by their outward appearance. The two don’t necessarily equate. No-matter how good somebody’s life may look, the truth is that none of us are perfect.
So whoever you are and whatever you’ve been through, lean into God’s grace. Why? Because none of us are THAT good. But God’s grace really is THAT good. It has saved me. It can save you too. Lean in. Keep trusting. Allow God’s grace to shape your life. This is what will make a difference.

Situated in a picturesque rural setting on the outskirts of North Wales, this new build farmhouse was specifically designed with a traditional aesthetic in order to effortlessly blend into the existing landscape.
The owners were looking for a window that would not only suit the traditional style of the property, but as is often the case with new builds or refurbishment projects, offer an excellent level of energy efficiency, in excess of those required by building regulations.
Residence 9 Flush Windows were the perfect fit and we were able to supply all windows and doors with highly efficient UPVC frames and 44mm triple glazing. This enabled us to achieve overall U values of 0.8Uw which exceeds the current building regulations standards and is certain to make any new home a very comfortable place to live.
The other main priority was the look and durability of the window as our clients wanted a traditional timber flush sash look that also offered the benefit of low maintenance. Residence 9 windows suited this requirement perfectly due to their traditional looks and advanced coating system which ensures that the external colour will stay looking sharp for a very long time, outlasting other inferior UPVC coloured windows.
Our client chose ‘Cotswold Biscuit’ externally which provided a beautiful, soft traditional look to complement their exterior farmhouse styling. Internally they opted for ‘white woodgrain’ effect which provided them with the appealing fresh, bright, cleanliness that white offers, along with the tactile and homely feel of woodgrain, a perfect combination for this beautiful farmhouse.

Despite the economic difficulties: the strong and hard-to-find dollar, the falling naira, the Niger Delta Avengers successful attempt to cut down the oil production by blowing up pipelines; Lagos goes on building-up further. New places mushroom and others disappear like the cool Seaside, which was set-up on land belonging to Lagos State and recently flattened by bull-dozers.
A new place is born, sort of consolation for the amateurs of fresh air: the Eko hotel rooftop which offers breathtaking views over the ocean, the upcoming Eko Atlantik and Victoria Island.
A great place which locals tend not to like because the breeze is too strong. The music is not too loud.
As the night comes, city lights are filling-up the air inviting to some photographic experiment, this time round the light painting option of my new phone camera.

Anyone could kindly share a sample C/C++ code? Thanks in advance.
What code have you written thus far?
How have you compiled the code?
simple code to test out the C code.
complaining cannot find the header files, such as module.h, model.h, metawearboard_fwd.h.
noticed that there was no connection.h in core directory.
"metawear/core/connection.h" was moved to "metawear/platform/btle_connection.h" in a later release, looks like the documentation wasn't updated to reflect the change. That issue aside, it also looks like your g++ flags are not correct. Please post your g++ command as well as the compile errors.
Hey, I am facing the same problem.
The command is used was just "make sampleFile" which is g++ sampleFile.cpp -o sampleFile.

As a restaurant employee, industry lingo can make you feel like you’re part of a club with its own secret language. Referring to a table for two as a “deuce” or a “two-top”; bitching with your fellow servers about how “in the weeds” you are when the dining room is full and there’s still a hundred “covers”; and instinctively knowing to yell “corner!” when coming around a blind corner with a full tray of food or cocktails are all part of the game. And, of course, many people even outside the business know that when an item is “86’ed," it means the dish is no longer available. It’s gone. Cancelled. Taken off the menu. Bad customers can also get 86'ed, meaning they're thrown out and typically not allowed to return to the bar or restaurant in the future.
On Election Day this year, a cheeky Rhode Island Mexican restaurant called Amigos Taqueria y Tequila wanted to make it clear that they wanted to see Donald Trump similarly cancelled at the White House, and to express that, their staff chose to don black t-shirts with “86 45” emblazoned in bold white letters, as well as sell them to patrons. The restaurant’s owner, Wendy Carr, says she was calling for the impeachment of the president. But a local Republican politician interpreted that “86” a little differently.
“For a person it means murder … to 86 somebody means murder,” said RI State Senator Elaine Morgan, who was re-elected to her third term on the evening of November 6. The Westerly Sun reported that Morgan posted this statement to her personal Facebook account, visible only to her friends, calling for her constituents to boycott Amigos. She re-upped those calls in interviews with the Sun just last week. She's also been doubling down on her belief that the restaurant really was calling for violence against the president, posting to her official Facebook page a screenshot of a comment from a supporter claiming that while working in the restaurant industry, she had never heard "86" used in the way Amigos intended it (which, frankly, seems improbable at best).
A screen shot of Amigos Taqueria y Tequila's current homepage.
In Carr’s statement on the site, which is written entirely in all-caps for a true righteous screed effect, she writes, “Violence or murder was never implied by anyone at our restaurant, ever. The only person to imply violence was Rhode Island District 34 State Senator Elaine Morgan and those who have since shared and built upon the momentum she created through her social media post.” She says that the restaurant has received non-stop phone calls threatening and harassing their staff, and others have Photoshopped images of the restaurant’s Facebook posts about the T-shirts, making it appear that they had called for Trump's murder.
MUNCHIES attempted to reach out to the restaurant via phone for further comment, but its voice mailbox was full and all other contact information has been removed.

Loren Salazar was born in California in 1951. Graduated with Honors in 1973 from Central Washington State University with a degree in Fine Arts and Sciences. Salazar has painted and exhibited extensively in the western states of Washington, California, and Alaska. His work has been exhibited across the country and his published images are found internationally. Currently calling Cost Rica home, Salazar continues to paint image locations from Italy to South America.
His paintings were honed and effected by the end of the turbulent 1960’s. His exploration of art professionally coincided with an explosion of new music and social change. Salazar’s early art paralleled a wave of new progressive rock music and a common direction brought contacts with the music industry and with rock artists. These associations resulted in numerous album covers and music industry designs. By 1977 reproductions and cards of Salazar’s paintings were being distributed on an international basis by a California publisher.
His painting technique set him apart as one of the early practitioners of the air brush as a fine art tool. His mastery of that technique resulted in paintings the were included in the Seattle Art Museum’s Northwest Annual Fine Arts Competition. While on display at the Museum his works were singled out b y the Seattle Times for individual praise. These early works were so convincing that his paintings were at times mistaken for photography.
Salazar’s photorealistic technique developed into a long series of works based on visual memory. This involved numerous images and places occupying the same picture plane. These images dissolved in and out of one another in long horizontal compositions. Salazar had developed a technique and imagery that proceeded computer art but was essentially “Photoshop” by hand before Photoshop was available. At this point the artist’s works in the early 1990’s were being mistaken at times for sophisticated works created on computers using Photoshop.
With a desire to distance himself from what he saw as a coming concern, (digital art), the artist moved onto a technique and media that could not be mistaken for anything digital. With the encouragement of close friend and mentor Andreas Nottebohm, Salazar set fourth on a 4 year series of works on etched aluminum, a technique pioneered by San Francisco artist Nottebohm. While living near Lake Arenal in Costa Rica, Salazar’s nights were consumed creating a series of paintings based on “The "Northern Lights” or “Aurora Borealis”. This series was painted in layers of transparent acrylic on etched aluminum. From Arenal, Salazar shipped the Northern Light Series to galleries in Alaska, Washington, and California.
Since 2004, Salazar has gone full circle and has concentrated his new works to painting on a new type of canvas. A recently developed “Watercolor Canvas” has allowed the artist to draw upon various techniques he developed over the years and apply them to a common surface. The resulting works are classic images from sites world-wide. Salazar’s latest paintings are a dream like sequence titled "Light Sleeper Series". With the recent addion of floating multiple layers of painted imagery in passages of resin, Salazar is creating works that must be seen in person to view all dimensions.

FTC Clamps Down on Matt Lloyd's MOBE. FINALLY!
Welcome to my honest review of My Online Business Empire (MOBE)!
Folks were warned about MOBE’s shenanigans for YEARS but refused to pay close attention to bloggers and the numerous complaints.
But then again, when Matt’s affiliates had $10,000s – $100,000s rolling in, qualified for shiny Diamond rings and cruised around in brand New Mercedes cars (gifts from Matt) – why would they and their super-egos listen?
Did Matt and his seasoned affiliates ever put your best interests first or “their” own BANK ACCOUNTS?
After David Wood closed ‘Empower Network‘, and the FTC shut down ‘Digital Altitude‘ – it was only a matter of time until MOBE was under its spotlight too.
Did you know that Matt Lloyd and his crew talked thousands of folks into making a total investment of $125,000,000 in the scheme?!
Get the report: FTC Action Halts MOBE, a Massive Internet Business Coaching Scheme.
Read also: MOBE Tells a Whale of a Tale With Misleading Money-Making Claims.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not another one of these “MOBE haters” because Mr. Lloyd delivered a ton of value for success.
But considering the rip-off prices, Matt’s money-making claims, and the fact that I got duped by Empower and Altitude in the past, I wasn’t gonna allow myself to fall into another scheme.
MOBE (aka My Own Business Education had a vast array of coaching products that enabled you to build a highly lucrative business on the web.
The first coaching product was the ‘21-Steps‘ which cost $49.
It was to help you get started online, and with it, also came a coach.
But I guess he or she was more like a “salesperson” convincing you to splash out more cash on other products to come.
Once you came to the end of those steps, unfortunately, the prices skyrocketed for the advanced stuff.
The second product was “Silver Masterclass” for $2,497 + $27/month which provided 8 modules worth of mindset training.
Third product: “Gold Masterclass” cost $4,997 + $64/month which taught you how to build a 6 figure business.
#4: “Titanium Mastermind” which had a cost of $9,997 + $121/month for a 3-day networking event for helping you reach the 7-figure mark through “next-level marketing”.
#5: “Platinum Mastermind” cost $16,667 + $198/month and was 5-day networking event focused on wealth building in the long-term.
#6: “Diamond Mastermind” cost a STAGGERING $29,997 + $295/month!!
This was a 10-day retreat which also gave you a “$1 million done-for-you” sales funnel.
In fact, with ClickFunnels and Russell Brunson’s training products – you could learn how to create your own “million-dollar” sales funnel at a fraction of what MOBE charged!
When you come across a program with sky-high prices, you just know something doesn’t quite add up.
So in MOBE’s case, it actually turned out to be a “money-making scheme” despite the invaluable training.
Basically, you bought into Matt’s “high-ticket” platform which taught you how to promote it for affiliate commissions ranging from $24.50 to $10,000 per sale!
But to earn that sort of dosh, you also had to spend $1,000s on the products yourself because that’s how the scheme worked.
Simply put, Mr. Lloyd sold “overpriced” products so he and his affiliates could pocket an absolute fortune!
Where do you think he got the funds from for giving away expensive luxury cars and Diamond rings to his top-performing affiliates? UGH!
Do you now understand why his program raised so many eyebrows?
With the closure of Empower Network and Digital Altitude, and also things not looking so good for MOBE – from where I’m standing, there’s no future for high-ticket stuff and “opportunists”.
Firstly, it’s not sustainable because how many folks can afford $10,000s in up-front costs (+ monthly fees of $100s) for overpriced training and events?
Secondly, the FTC’s actions should serve as a clear warning to anyone considering peddling schemes in order to pocket a pretty penny.
The way I see it, the FTC is on the warpath to rid the internet of money-sucking pests.
It’s only a matter of time until they also come down hard on AWOL Academy and The Super Affiliate Network next.
If these Super Affiliates genuinely cared about your success, then why didn’t they promote stuff at reasonable prices?
These are some top programs enabling you to build a highly profitable business in the Affiliate Marketing arena.
But because they DON’T pay enough in “commissions”, MOBE affiliates were/are reluctant to recommend them to newbies lol.
MOBE has been operating under the radar for years without being investigated by the authorities.
But the FTC finally caught up with Matt’s scheme, shut down the entire operation, and froze his assets – leaving his affiliates penniless as a result.
So I genuinely hope these guys n’ gals (mainly the newbies who put everything on the line for MOBE) get reimbursed somehow.
If the FTC claims a platform has been operating fraudulently and takes action, then it’s most definitely A SCAM.
Is there a possibility that those who lost money in the scheme get reimbursed by FTC?
The case is still ongoing but the FTC has announced that if the lawsuit against MOBE is successful, they will inform victims of refunds in its consumer blog.
But how long the process will take, nobody actually knows.
I’m curious how many of you ever knew more than what you are regurgitating from the FTC & their smear blogs? In my opinion, this is 1 of the biggest Witch hunts I’ve ever seen! I have yet to hear 1 valid complaint from a person stating facts. Why is it those with a victim mentality are coddled rather than expected to take accountability for their own decisions? People saying they were Forced to buy, Really??!
No one was forced to give over their banking info or cc to pay. They paid for the training & system that gave them a path to build their own business IF they were willing to put the time & effort in. I invested a lot myself & built not just a successful online, affiliate business but also a separate, also successful, Company in the self-development field. I learned this by studying & applying what I learned from Matt Lloyd & Mobe. I see many people spouting negativity about the cars. rings, etc. You might note that almost all major companies compensate their overachievers! From Apple to Google to Starbucks to Chevy… Top employees, sales staff, etc, who make a big difference for the Co by the work they do get rewarded.
And if you do not know Matt personally & have no real-life experience going through the Mobe training, then your opinion holds no weight. When will we as a community & country start supporting the Success of others rather than tearing them down? We all have equal opportunity, especially in the USA, to achieve whatever we want. It is UP TO US each individually what we do with that opportunity! The more you are hating on others, the farther away you remove yourself from the possibility of Success.
Funny you should say that because I’ve been following MOBE and its affiliates for years, and also read numerous scam complaints from disgruntled members who lost money.
Hey, here’s a “FACT” – MOBE was a money-making scheme, regardless of the training and resources Matt provided.
However, I do agree that people can make their own decisions, and that applies to any opportunity. Some people scream “SCAM” for two reasons: 1: They actually have lost money with a scam. 2: They invest very little time and effort, and then cry online when they don’t see fast results.
I applaud you for investing in yourself and building a successful business because it is challenging. I’m not calling MOBE a blatant scam because obviously, the training worked for you as it did for other members of Matt’s program, no doubt. But unfortunately, the price tag tells another story, which some people and especially the FTC weren’t happy about.
Yes, I also see your point on other companies rewarding employees and biz partners for their efforts. But the point I’m making is that folks had to shell out an absolute fortune on MOBE’s training products in order to qualify for the rings and cars. Whereas employees don’t part with a single penny for their rewards.
Even affiliate programs like the ClickFunnels Affiliate Bootcamp run the “Dream Car Contest” for free. Yes, you obviously have to splash out money on sending traffic to promote ClickFunnels products, but the affiliate program and training don’t cost a cent for building a biz and qualifying for a car.
No, I don’t personally know Matt. But then again, most MOBE affiliates don’t know him on a personal level either since he’s an “acquaintance” lol. Plus I’m guessing you have to fork out a fortune for one of his events to meet him in person too.
As for the training – nope, I didn’t sample that either. But despite MOBE affiliates labeling it as the best thing since sliced bread – I can guarantee that the same training is found across a number of platforms at a fraction of the cost: Wealthy Affiliate, Affiliate Bootcamp, FIMP, Affilorama, Chris Farrell Membership, and Internet Jetset, to name some.
I’m all up for supporting others who are a success, just not when it comes to programs that intentionally rip-off the unsuspecting.
The only hate I have is for the folks who build businesses online using “unethical” practices, but it doesn’t prevent me from succeeding.
Perhaps a bit harsh lol. But I do believe those who rip of others with overpriced products do not belong in the Internet Marketing world. I guess high-ticket rip-off merchants eventually get what’s coming to them… in the form of the FTC’s giant boot kicking their asses out the door!
Now I get why these folks had overpriced products and high fees. They were using the money the members made for them to give out the luxury cars after having the big share of the profits for themselves.
I am glad that justice and honesty are finally catching up with them, and it also gives me peace to see that we are many folks who raised eyebrows on this scheme.
We should not be keeping quiet about these things.
That is correct! With so much money pouring into MOBE, I guess Matt could afford to give luxury yachts away to his heavy hitters lol.
But regardless of the expensive car and diamond ring gifts, it was still an unethical opportunity in my opinion.
On one hand, MOBE got what it deserved. But on the other hand, “vulnerable” folks lost a fortune.
I had no idea all this was going on! Guess I had better start keeping up.
I hate to see things like this happening because it just makes it harder for honest people to make a living. This is one of the many reasons so many people mistrust the internet so much.
What I can’t understand is why so many people would spend so much money on this without really knowing what they were getting into.
Also, not good for us when the government gets involved, because they have a tendency to make things worse.
Unfortunately, there are a number of MOBE affiliates who still haven’t heard the bad news yet.
I totally agree because these “high-ticket” schemes all come toppling down eventually, and along with flat out scams, they give the Internet Marketing world a bad reputation.
The reason why folks (newbies especially) invested a ton of cash into MOBE was that Matt and some of his affiliates made outlandish money-making claims that beginners couldn’t resist.
As for the Government, I couldn’t possibly comment lol.
It’s amazing to me how many of the “trusted” names in the “Internet Marketing” space promoted this crap. Utterly disappointing, for sure.
On a side note, I love reading your blog and always find your insight and perspective refreshing. Keep it up!
I totally agree with you 100%, Matt!
I certainly wouldn’t trust any of those “top” affiliates because they’ll just latch on to the next high-cost program for $$$.

Valhalla DSP has released updates for ValhallaVintageVerb and ValhallaRoom.
ValhallaVintageVerb v1.7.1 adds 2 new reverb modes, Chaotic Hall and Chaotic Chamber. These modes are the results of a thought experiment: what would "old school" digital reverb algorithms sound like if they were made using tape delays?
The saturation and pre/de-emphasis are based on tape delays, with a higher internal drive level than the other VintageVerb algorithms.
The digital quantization noise of the "Dirty" algorithms in VintageVerb has been replaced by tape modulation noise, which results in a more broadband spread of frequencies as the reverb decays.
The "random walk" used for chorusing in most of the VintageVerb algorithms has been replaced by a more "chaotic" modulation source. The "chaotic" modulation is closer to the wow/flutter/tape crinkle noise that can be heard in tape echoes, where the wear and tear of the tape loops results in a distinctive pitch modulation.
Chaotic Hall is fairly close to Dirty Hall in its basic structure, just with "chaotic" elements. Chaotic Chamber is closer to the Smooth algorithms, but with the "digital" artifacts of the Smooth algorithms replaced with "analog" artifacts. Chaotic Chamber also adds some unique signal dependent diffusion parameters, which results in a clearer sounding reverb tale.
Valhalla DSP say "When I was adding the chaotic algorithms to VintageVerb, I presumed that the results would be closer to the dark murkiness of tape delays. It turns out that adding chaos to these algorithms resulted in more clarity and transparency in many cases. There are definitely tape-esque artifacts in the decay, but the analog-style saturation reduces ringing in the tail, and the tape chorusing results in less random pitch shifts than the random walk modulation used in the other modes."
The other major change to VintageVerb is a GUI option added to the NOW Color mode. A new text field in the upper right corner of the GUI, that is displayed when viewing the NOW mode, allows the user to select between Brightness (the original white background GUI) or Darkness (the new mode, which is white text against a dark background). Both GUIs retain the "absence of color" that is a critical visual cue for the sonic characteristics of the NOW Color mode.
Version info in upper right corner.
Entire bottom of GUI dedicated to interactive tool tips.
Knob pointers are larger, easier to see.
The new GUI takes up considerably less room than the older GUI, while having the same amount of room for the sliders and knobs.
The default color scheme of the ValhallaRoom GUI has been changed as well. The grey & red color scheme of the previous versions wasn't optimized for folks with color blindness. They've changed the GUI colors to the "Electric Blue" color scheme. This was influenced by the LED displays on some older hardware reverbs, and is much easier on the eyes than the previous color scheme.
For those folks that liked the old color scheme, you can switch back to the Old School color scheme by clicking the GUI Mode text in the upper right corner. This allows you to toggle back and forth between Electric Blue and Old School GUI colors, and your preference will be saved for all instances of ValhallaRoom.
Also, tool tips that correspond to the Reverb Mode have been added, so you can see a brief description of the reverb mode at a glance.

What is it about Dandelions and Lily of the Valley that inspires such venomous hatred?
Mars and I recently attempted to give some of the latter to a family member who is landscaping a newly acquired house. "Thanks for the offer, I like it but the dh hates it, at the other house he hacked it out with an ax."
I have gotten this kind of response before. One time I donated some LotV to my garden club's annual plant sale. It was unanimously and derisively banished from the "for sale" section and relegated to the "please, please take one for free" table where it was totally ignored -- except for some Master Gardeners who visibly recoiled at the plant's proximity. At least no one took a sharp steel wood-chopping tool to them.
Dandelion detestation is even more dramatic. I often feel it myself.
Every day I stalk my lawn looking for the slightest glimpse of lion-toothed leaf to root out with my well-seasoned, fork-tongued weeding tool -- "The Herbinator". I actually find this mano-a-mano style of horticultural combat to be quite relaxing.
But gentlemanly dislike often escalates into rabid detestation. Particularly after I've just duck-walked the lawn, dug up that last broadleaf weed and, as I am stretching the muscle spasms out of my back, spot one more insidious yellow-headed outlier. Suddenly blind anger obliterates my pain and, weeding tool in hand, I rush forth in a Norman Bates-like frenzy, stabbing wildly at the missed miscreant -- and vowing not to look for any others as I return my weapon to its storage bucket.
All because of golf, public parks, and Levittown.
Invented on the natural grasslands of Scotland the first golf course in the United States was built 1888 in New York. The sport rapidly developed in popularity creating a grass-roots industry all its own.
"Between 1910 and 1924, the U.S. Golf Association (USGA) helped fund and carry out research in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture about the best ways to cultivate grass. Reportedly the first experimental turf farm in the U.S. resided where the Pentagon sits today.
"In the mid 19th century, as cities grew and became increasingly industrialized, city beautification campaigns became common, and the 'park' was born. "Eventually lawns migrated from the civic center into North Americans' backyards. A key figure in this movement was Frederick Law Olmstead (1822-1903), a.k.a. the American father of landscape architecture, who planned New York City's Central Park in the 1850s, as well as parks in Boston, Montreal, and elsewhere. Olmstead not only popularized the use of meadows in public parks, but also designed suburbs in which each residential home sported a lawn."
Then came Levittown -- "The Ideal American Community". Built 1948-52 it was the first affordable-dwelling suburb to include established lawns "which residents were required to keep up but forbidden to fence in. The importance of a neat, weed-free, closely-shorn lawn was promoted intensely in the newsletters that went out to all homeowners in these subdivisions, along with lawn-care advice on how to reach this ideal."
"Science and technology produced a whole train of inventions: the rotary lawn mower, effective (if not safe) pesticides, the first weed-free grass seeds, combined fertilizers and pesticides (early Weed and Feed products), and spreaders to make their application so easy it was child's play. Out of these developments came the possibility of the weed-free lawn."
There was of course some collateral damage. Clover, a beneficial nitrogen-depositing part of lawns, became the enemy because the new "2,4-D" herbicides could not distinguish that herbaceous three-lobed plant from the broad leaf weeds they were intended to eliminate.
But maybe it could have evolved differently.
A recent New Yorker magazine article told of the restoration of the Askernish golf course, in Scotland -- built in the early 1900's and designed by Old Tom Morris, the founding father of modern golf. In 2005 the course was still in use but not in its original configuration. The restorers were determined to recreate golf holes of the type that Morris and his contemporaries did, in the same way that they would have constructed them. They would not use pesticides or artificial fertilizers, or install any irrigation system. Maintenance would consist of no more than cutting the grass and filling in old rabbit burrows.
To me that seems like the way golf and landscaping were really meant to be -- playing through what nature gives you. Unless, of course, the ball happens to land in front of some Lily of the Valley or dandelion that interferes with my swing. Then, without hesitation, I will reach into my golf bag, take out my trusty Fork-Tongued Weeding Wedge, and chip that sucker right into the nearest trash pail.
Matthew 5:21-22 says "whosoever is angry...without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment."

Every person connected to your organization is in sales and marketing. Each interaction anyone connected to your company, your government agency, your non-profit, or your university has with the anyone is an interaction with your brand.
Every interaction with a vendor, supplier, or competitor is as important as an interaction with a potential customer. At each touch point, your organization sells your organization’s values; each and every time.
But what does this have to do with human resources? Traditionally? Nothing. But today, everything. And to bring this into a more clear picture, think on this: every job applicant or potential employee your organization deals represents a potential customer or potential former customer.
If you believe this, then your entire candidate tracking program should be treated as importantly as your sales people treat their sales pipeline or customer relationship management.
HR departments that fail to respond to every job applicant could be hurting their organisation by alienating potential customers, experts have warned.
Half of UK jobseekers have been left with a negative impression of an organisation following an unsuccessful job application, while a fifth have stopped buying their products as a result, according to a survey from talent assessment specialists SHL.
SHL warned that although many organisations were now inundated by applications, they risked alienating customers and damaging business performance by failing to realise the link between the employer brand and customer brand.
Cultivate your recruiting as another sales channel. Even if you can not hire every great candidate you can certainly treat every candidate with respect and decency and keep them as an advocate.
As a human resource professional you are either making a business case and driving sales or you are simply a staff function.
You are either improving financial performance or you are a cost center.
As we have seen the last few years, if you are a cost center you are not a core competency – get a seat at the table with a candidate relationship management system.
Make the business case for your entire organization to treat interviewing and recruiting as a sales call. After all, that is your job.
1) Conflict Management: Ultimately we should all be able to solve our own problems with others.
2) Develop job descriptions: Initially, we are usually stuck with the job description that is handed to us (by HR). But the wise employee is able to develop their own job description over time.
3) Training management: It is our responsibility to develop the skills needed to not only perform in our current job, but also in those we aspire to next.
Yep. We are all in HR.
Taking human resources to a core business strategy role is essential. Unfortunately, only the most progressive companies look at human resources as a competitive business advantage.
The company and the human resource professional that looks at human resources as a cost center, compliance-driven, transaction role is on its path to extinction.
Ultimately, the human resource field is responsible to amp up their game and become a business partner. There are a lot of functions, John, that human resources, obviously, touches: job families, job descriptions, strategic hiring, performance management, training, compensation [which is more than just $$$], and conflict management – as you mention.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I've enjoyed discovering your posts and look forward to learning more.

Individuals, in having a daily social life, may face diﬀerent legal problems. Among those are cases of compensation for damage such as in traﬃc and industrial accidents, disputes over selling/buying and leasing of houses and lands, worries of family represented by divorce, inheritance and wills, and many others which may happen. In addition, the recent vigorous international exchange has developed a tendency to increase international marriages, labor troubles, and problems related to the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and the Immigration Law. We stand by our clients to work on such cases empathically.
A debt or a multiple debt from credit companies or consumer financing companies is a financially and mentally intolerable pain. But you don’t have to give up. A debt is a legal matter of loan money credits and debts based on a loan agreement, which fact means that such a problem can be legally solved.
By adjustment, a debt can be reduced, payment of a debt can be exempted, or overpaid interest (overpayments) can be reimbursed. In most cases, debt adjustment procedures can be conducted without anybody else knowing it.
Legal debt adjustment procedures include voluntary liquidation, individual rehabilitation, personal bankruptcy, and overpayment reimbursement claim which is to recover overpaid interest. It is necessary to select the most suitable procedure depending on the individual conditions.
To do so, consult a lawyer, who is a legal expert, as soon as possible.
A victim in a traffic accident can claim damages including lost earnings and consolation money from the person responsible for the accident (or the voluntary insurance company which the latter has a contract with). In the case of a fatal accident, the family of the victim will claim damages in addition to consolation money special to the family. In the case of a so-called “property damage” caused by a traffic accident, it is also possible to claim damages from the person responsible for the accident. However, claiming damages in a traffic accident case is a highly professional dispute. When the party whom you negotiate with is an insurance company or a lawyer, an out-of-court settlement based on the party’s argument may cause you to end up failing to obtain damages which should be duly received.
To protect your own profits securely, consult a lawyer, who is a legal expert, as soon as possible.
In recent years, disputes related to labor and employment issues between management and labor have been increasing. The labor and employment problems range widely and in particular, cases of unfair dismissal and non-payment for overtime attributed to an employer or a company occur often.
If you have had an accident during working hours, you can apply to the Labor Standards Inspection Office for a workers’ compensation to get entitled to a compensation for absence from work (60% of a wage plus a special benefit equivalent to 20% of a wage) and for residual disability. In addition, if the company is recognized to be liable to an accident, you can claim against the company for consolation money (i.e. money to compensate the mental anguish inflicted by the injury which forces you to go to hospital and suffer from residual disability) and loss of earnings (i.e. money to compensate the future reduction of income caused by the residual disability).
It is difficult for you to claim such consolation money and loss of earnings by yourself after recognition of a work-related accident. It is advisable to consult a lawyer in any case of negotiation, action, or arbitration.
In real-estate deals, legal affairs occur in various aspects such as leasing, selling/buying, brokering and settlement of a mortgage. It is not unusual that a real-estate deal develops into an unexpected trouble out of a small discrepancy partly because it involves a large amount of money.
A real-estate deal entails complicated transaction forms and rights, which tend to develop a dispute, and once such a dispute has happened, a solution for it will be a long way to go, and a financial burden may be swollen.
Expertise is required as to real-estate affairs such as management of an apartment house, faults of buildings, leasing of lands and buildings, registrations, and boundaries.
Be sure to consult us when you feel worried even a little on whether there is any contradiction or any problem for cancellation and damages in the contents of a contract or an important matter description of a real-estate transaction.
A matter of divorce covers a really wide range of issues including not only a simple claim of divorce but also consolation money, expenses of bringing up children, division of property, division of marriage expenses, division of pension money, parental rights, and negotiation to see children. The problems are even more complicated if one or both of the husband and wife has/have a nationality other than Japanese. An international divorce is difficult to cope with because it requires professional knowledge, foreign language ability and experiences other than general divorce cases do, for example, a language problem, international jurisdiction, governing laws, and approval of an overseas judgement.
While a divorce problem should basically be solved through a dialogue between the husband and wife, there are a lot of cases in which a legal action is taken because the dialogue ends up with no agreement. In such a case, be sure to consult us.
There are various legal problems and disputes related to inheritance.
They cover a number of issues, such as preparation of a will, execution of a will, estate partition cases (conference, arbitration, judgement), waiving of inheritance, qualified acceptance, cases of distributive share reducing request (conference, arbitration, judgement), inheritance management, request for adult guardianship, and preparation of a voluntary guardianship contract.
To suitably solve these legal problems and disputes related to inheritance and the aged, it is necessary not only to have legal knowledge, of course, but also to take a legal action in reality.
We are active in providing services related to inheritance, the aged and the like. Be sure to consult us.
Application services for status of residence include preparation and submission of an application and other documents in place of non-Japanese residents as to various kinds of application (authorized residence status certificate delivery applications, residence period renewal permit applications, residence status change permit applications, permanent residence permit applications, re-entry permit applications) for which the non-Japanese residents living in a peaceful country Japan go through the procedures at the immigration authorities in person.
A matter of residence status is associated with all procedures such as international litigation and international criminal cases, family court cases and labor court cases.
As our lawyers are registered under the provisions of the enforcement regulations of the Immigration Control and Refugee-Recognition Act, they can make a proxy application in the procedures such as visa applications, permanent residence permit applications, nationalization applications, authorized residence status certificate delivery applications, residence status renewal and change permit applications, special residence permit applications and refugee status applications.
In addition, they can handle administrative lawsuits related to immigration procedures, in which an administrative scrivener cannot stand proxy; for example, a revocation suit against a forcible deportation order.
A large portion of troubles between individuals come from their contractual relationship. In many of person-to-person contracts, however, they are even not prepared as a document. To prevent troubles from arising from contract relationship, it is important to prepare a suitable contract document and to sign a contract which eliminates a future risk as much as possible. Once you prepare such a contract document, you can make an advantageous progress in a lawsuit which may be started through troubles in the future.
Our firm offers preparation and legal review of various contracts including license contracts, loan contracts for consumption, service contracts, delegation contracts, and business consignment contracts. We can also draft and review English documents for contracting with a foreign party. We can clarify the content of a contract and forestall troubles.

Using an ecological approach to study how emerging technologies impact individual and communal formation, Faith Formation 4.0 looks at how our efforts to be story-keepers, story-sharers, and story-makers have evolved over four eras of human communication.
Framed by the Great Commission imperative to “make disciples,” this book offers a road map to help leaders develop goals to form, inform, and transform new members, as well as long-time believers, within a faith community. The author successfully illustrates that church success depends not only on knowing the Christian message of God’s enduring love, but also how to use today’s tools appropriately for evangelization and faith formation.
Julie Anne Lytle, PhD. is a leader in efforts to blend face-to-face and online interaction in theological education, she combines academic training in journalism/advertising, theology, and religious education; professional experience as a producer using every form of media; and pastoral experience in congregations, dioceses, national and university settings. She holds an interdisciplinary doctorate in Religion and Education from Boston College and MDiv from the University of Notre Dame. Recently on the faculty at the Episcopal Divinity School, she is now the Executive Director of Province I of The Episcopal Church and a consultant for digital learning at Virginia Theological Seminary.
In this insightful book, Julie Lytle highlights the most basic, and arguably most critical practice for churches committed to sharing the Gospel now and in the future: forming children and adults with robust, durable Christian identities that engage both the world as it is today and our participation in "God's Dream" for its transformation. Biblically, theologically, historically, and technologically grounded, Lytle's ecological, media-savvy perspective anchors an approach to Christian formation and discipleship in the Digital Age that is meaningful, relevant, and – most importantly – entirely doable.
Digital immigrant Julie Lytle has written an intimate travelogue demystifying the strange new cyber-world and presenting a living and habitable environment. Drawing parallels to oral, written, and mass media approaches to evangelization and faith formation, Lytle demonstrates that people can become good Christians when they encounter The Christian Story and our personal Christian stories through interactive media. That said, she cautions us to get clear on our message, and our method, before we rush into the latest new-media trend. Faith formation comes alive in Lytle's hands.
How do we become Christian in the 21st century? Dr. Lytle offers an ecology of faith in which everything – story, relationships, and context – work together. This model provides roots for church leaders born in the digital age, wings for digital skeptics and a much-needed bridge for ministers of Christian formation.
This book is essential reading for contemporary church leadership. Much like a “build your own adventure” the content is organized to encourage readers concerned about evangelization and/or faith formation in a digital age, to enter the rich conversation through multiple doors. Grounded soundly in scripture, theology, history, sociology of religion, human development and learning theory, Julie describes the complex ecology of being church today.
