The ride may be rough at times, and assets will go up and down. To keep pace in this environment, investors will need a strategy that embraces multiple sectors and is able to go anywhere around the world to generate income.
Take high-yield bonds. They’re a core component of any high-income strategy—and with good reason. High yield usually does well when rates rise, because rising rates usually go hand in hand with improving economic growth, which leads to higher corporate profits.
Last year, short-term interest rates rose slowly but steadily in the US and began heading higher in Canada and the UK. And high-yield bonds and other credit securities delivered strong returns, thanks in part to solid global growth.
On the other hand, unusually loose global central bank policy over the last decade has helped to extend credit cycles and raise asset prices in many parts of the world. Today, US and European high-yield credit spreads—the extra yield these bonds offer over comparable government debt—are at multiyear lows.
Could higher borrowing costs result in more high-yield defaults in 2018? Possibly. Last year, default rates among US and European high-yield companies hovered near historical lows. In the US, they were actually declined as the energy-sector defaults that accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total in 2015 and 2016 combined, subsided.
But a higher average default rate isn’t necessarily bad news for returns. Over the past two decades, jumps in the default rate have usually been followed by big increases in returns (Display).
Another thing to remember is that high-yield sell-offs have historically been short lived. Those who stay invested tend to make up their losses quickly. Over the past two decades, high yield has recovered most big drawdowns—losses of more than 5%—in less than a year.
All this suggests to us that now isn’t the time to cut high-yield exposure to zero. It is the time to be selective and hunt for values within sectors.
Over time, the most effective income-generating strategies reach beyond high-yield corporates. That should be the case in bull and bear markets alike—and everything in between.
Investors who want to dial back their exposure to high-yield bonds can still find plenty of high-income opportunities elsewhere. That includes credit risk–transfer (CRT) securities, a fairly new type of mortgage-backed bond issued by US government–sponsored housing agencies.
It also means venturing beyond national borders. Last year, for example, emerging-market (EM) bonds were strong performers, particularly those issued in local currencies. EM currencies can be volatile assets, and 2017 was no exception. Even so, EM local-currency bonds returned more than 15% on the year.
We still see opportunity in the sector, though the potential impact of tighter US monetary policy and a stronger dollar means investors will have to be selective.
Central banks are likely to continue tilting toward tighter policy in 2018. The Federal Reserve, for example, isn’t just raising rates. It’s also expected to shrink its massive balance sheet—swelled by its post–financial crisis asset purchases—by more than a trillion dollars over the coming years. The European Central Bank may soon follow suit; we expect it to end its own monthly bond purchases by year-end and to start raising interest rates in 2019.
As we’ve noted in earlier posts, this process of quantitative easing in reverse underscores why it’s also important to maintain an allocation in your overall fixed-income portfolio to risk-reducing assets such as global government bonds.
But it doesn’t guarantee negative returns in credit. Sure, investors probably shouldn’t expect the kind of double-digit returns we’ve seen in recent years. But there’s still good reason to have a diversified high-income strategy and a manager with the wherewithal to find attractive opportunities within sectors.
We certainly understand investors’ hesitations and concerns. Markets—and the global economy—do appear to be at an inflection point. The need for extraordinary central bank support is fading.
But if there’s one constant in investing, it’s the need for income. That was the case when interest rates were high in the 1980s. And it’s been the case over the last decade of record low rates and yields.
Earning income isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. For investors with long investment horizons, higher rates are good news. And a global, multi-sector income strategy that includes but is not limited to high-yield corporates offers the best chance of long-term success.

I’m cutting back my posting frequency for a bit.
Welcome to The Way of the Consultant!
I should start out by making it clear that, if you feel like it, you can read the whole thing at once: I have put up a website with the entire book at wayoftheconsultant.com.
However, I have posted the first chapter below, and my plan is to post all 81 chapters in turn, one by one, roughly one per weekday (which should last a while). Also, there will be links, glossary terms, commentary, and anything else I happen to think of.
I have been soliciting feedback about my mistranslation from various people. While this means I will end up polishing and tweaking The Way of the Consultant in minor ways, once I reach a good stopping point, I plan to start blogging it here. I may end up starting slow, but eventually I plan to post the whole thing here, one chapter/day more or less.
While I am still working on ancillary files (chapter notes, an “about” section, etc.), I actually finished the core mistranslation a couple of weeks ago. If there is interest, I will include spoiler links to the whole thing — if you feel like going through the whole thing at once, say so!
At any rate, in the unlikely event that someone is already reading this blog, welcome! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask — any kind of feedback is welcome.

Born Julius Russell, October 13, 1924, in Atlanta, GA; died of cancer, October 2, 2005, in New York, NY. Comedian and actor. With a supernatural ability to improvise and ad-lib, Nipsey Russell made a name for himself on the talk-show and game-show circuits of the 1950s and '60s. He was known most notably for his impromptu four-line rhymes, which entertained the masses and helped him become one of the first black comedians to earn a rapport with mainstream audiences. Russell's immense popularity helped him remain a television staple through the 1980s.
Though he was known as Nipsey Russell, the comedian was named Julius Russell upon his birth in 1924 in Atlanta. His mother nicknamed him Nipsey because she liked the way it sounded. As a youngster, Russell entertained audiences by singing and tap-dancing with a troupe called the Ragamuffins of Rhythm. As a teenager, Russell worked as a carhop at Atlanta's legendary Varsity Drive-In, where he did much more than deliver hot dogs and orange drinks. Russell handed out jokes with each order, entertaining customers and earning extra tips. Russell left Atlanta his senior year of high school and moved in with an aunt in Cincinnati to earn tuition-free eligibility to the University of Cincinnati. His university studies, however, were interrupted by service in the army. Stationed in Europe, Russell attained the rank of captain before leaving the military.
After returning to the United States, Russell hit the road and perfected his standup routine playing the black clubs of the Midwest and East Coast. By the 1950s, Russell was appearing at Harlem's Club Baby Grand, where he stayed a regular for seven years. Donning a conservative suit and tie and refusing to tell crude jokes or use dialects, Russell stood apart from the lewd, baggy-pants-wearing black comics of his day. In comparison, Russell's act was classy. He came across as a folk philosopher, delivering his jokes as aphorisms and rhymes. Russell also became a favorite at Harlem's Apollo Theater and earned the nickname "Harlem's Son of Fun." He also appeared at the popular resorts in the Catskills. During this time, Russell compiled his routines on a number of "party albums."
News of the comedic whiz kid spread and by the late 1950s, the television talk shows were trying Russell out. He scored with a standout performance on The Ed Sullivan Show and made several appearances on The Tonight Show with Jack Paar. Russell's quick-witted banter with Paar proved he could hold his own as a guest and he earned countless appearances on the variety shows of the day. Television executives took notice and offered Russell a regular role on Car 54, Where Are You? . Playing Officer Anderson on the NBC comedy series, which ran from 1961 to 1963, Russell was one of the first African Americans to have a co-starring role on a sitcom.
Russell soon broke into game shows and by the mid-1960s was a frequent guest on ABC's Missing Links , hosted by Ed McMahon. He spent the 1970s as a regular panelist on CBS's To Tell the Truth , a show where celebrity panelists were presented with a story, followed by several contestants who each claimed the story was their own. The panelists questioned the contestants in an effort to figure out which contestant went with the story. Audiences loved Russell so much he became a regular panelist on the show for several years. During the 1960s and '70s, Russell was a well-liked guest on The Jackie Gleason Show, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and The Dean Martin Show .
Over the years, Russell became known for his signature four-line poems, which grew out of an early 1960s appearance on Missing Links . During this appearance, as the show was ending, McMahon turned to Russell and asked him if he knew any poems. Surprisingly, Russell came up with a clever one quite quickly, which amused the audience. Afterward, no appearance was complete until Russell delivered a few lines of verse. He even spouted them during his game-show appearances.
Over the course of his career, Russell memorized more than 600 poems so he would have an appropriate one ready for any situation. He wrote them late at night. According to the Los Angeles Times , Russell once told a reporter that writing poems "is very simple to do…. I start with the joke line and write backward." Russell's obituary in the Los Angeles Times quoted one of his signature four-liners: "The opposite of pro is con/That fact is clearly seen/If progress means move forward/Then what does Congress mean?" Because of his catchy rhymes, Russell became known as "the poet laureate of television."
For Russell, the 1970s and '80s provided a steady stream of work as a game-show panelist. He appeared on The Match Game, Rhyme and Reason, Juve- nile Jury, Masquerade Party and $10,000 Pyramid . For a time, in 1985, he hosted Your Number's Up , becoming one of the first African Americans to host a game show. Russell also made a few motion pictures, including Nemo in 1984. He played a high school principal in 1986's Wildcats , starred in the 1993 Western Posse and played a precinct commander in the 1994 motion picture reprise of Car 54, Where Are You? .
His most notable film role was that of the Tin Man in the 1978 movie version of the black-cast musical The Wiz , where he appeared alongside Diana Ross, Richard Pryor, and Michael Jackson. Russell also took his singing and dancing to Broadway, appearing in the musicals A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Hello Dolly! .
Even as he grew older, Russell continued entertaining. In the 1990s, he gave live performances in Atlantic City and Las Vegas and appeared on The Chris Rock Show . He even reprised his panelist persona for several 2003 appearances on Hollywood Squares . Russell died of cancer on October 2, 2005, in Manhattan. He was 80. Russell never married and left no known survivors.

The total shortfall in VAT budget receipts of the 28 EU members came to EUR 147.1 billion in 2016, according to a recent study conducted by the Center for Social and Economic Research (CASE) for the European Commission.
Even though the VAT Gap, i.e. the VAT that is theoretically due but for various reasons ultimately does not reach the state budget, continues to be high, our report shows that for yet another year VAT collection in the EU has improved. In 2016, twenty two EU countries narrowed the VAT Gap.
The EU’s VAT Gap was reduced by more than EUR 10 billion on 2015 and more than EUR 20 billion on 2012. Percentagewise, this was a reduction in VAT losses from 13.2 per cent in 2015 to 12.3 per cent in 2016 r. This is the best result attained since 2012, when we published our first study on this subject.
“The higher rate of VAT recovery over the entire EU is a result of an overall improvement of the economic situation in Europe and the fact that the countries have begun taking various measures to stop evasion of VAT and render tax inspections more efficient, for example IT systems that officials can use to quickly review accounting records and invoice data,” says Dr. Grzegorz Poniatowski, Director of Fiscal Policy Studies at CASE, who headed the team that produced the report.
At the top of this year’s ranking were Luxembourg and Sweden, while Bulgaria, Latvia, Cyprus and the Netherlands managed to decrease VAT losses by more than 5 percentage points on 2015.
Meanwhile, the VAT Gap in Romania, Finland, the UK, Ireland, Estonia and France increased. In percentage terms, Romania had the highest VAT Gap (35.88 %), and Italy had the highest percentage share in the EU VAT Gap, as its VAT receipts were down by just under EUR 36 billion.
For the first time, this year’s report contains an econometric analysis of determinants of the VAT Gap. Econometric studies show that the larger the percentage shares of retail trade, telecommunications services, industry, and also artistic activity in the economy, the greater the VAT loss. Another factor affecting VAT receipts is the scale of government administration and the state’s expenditure on computerisation: more investment in these areas usually results in less VAT losses.
“Study to quantify and analyse the VAT Gap in the EU Member States” was commissioned by the European Commission (DG TAXUD) and written by a team of experts, directed by Grzegorz Poniatowski, and composed of Mikhail Bonch-Osmolovskiy, Adam Śmietanka, José María Durán Cabré (University of Barcelona) and Alejandro Esteller More (University of Barcelona).

At Treasure Valley Dental Care, we provide dental cleanings and examinations to patients throughout Nampa. We believe that preventative care is essential for staying in good oral health. Our goal is to keep our patients as healthy as possible. The best way to do so is through ongoing dental care and teaching our patients how to practice good oral hygiene at home. If you live in the Nampa area, call (208) 656-6070 to schedule your exam and to learn how you can stay healthy year-round.
Our team works with patients of various ages and knows how to help children to feel comfortable while visiting the dentist. Families throughout Idaho visit our dentist office to for their child to receive a teeth cleaning. We recommend that teeth cleanings and exams start from a very young age. This is important for ensuring that baby teeth grow in properly and stay healthy until the adult teeth are ready to come in. People may not realize how important healthy baby teeth are. Children can get cavities and gum disease just like adults do. The difference being that children are less capable of understanding or dealing with discomfort. We recommend that parents throughout Nampa bring their children in for dental cleanings and examinations at least twice a year. This way, we can remove harmful plaque and bacteria in order to prevent cavities.
While cleaning children's teeth, our staff will be sure to practice gentle dentistry. By building a rapport with our young patients, they will feel more relaxed during their dental appointments. Thus, visiting the dentist becomes fun instead of intimidating. We also recommend that parents take the time to read stories about going to the dentist and play games by teaching children how to examine their toy's teeth. These little steps can help children to feel comfortable when getting their own teeth cleaned. By doing so twice a year, their baby teeth are more likely to stay in until they are supposed to fall out, and their adult teeth will also stay healthier. If you have questions about scheduling an appointment for your child call 208-656-6070.
We recommend that adults throughout Nampa ID receive teeth cleanings at least twice a year, as well. Good oral health is important regardless of how old you are. As people age, their risk for an oral infection continues to increase. The older teeth get, the more the protective enamel starts to wear away, and it can become easier to get a cavity. The best way to combat this is by brushing and flossing throughout the day in addition to visiting the dentist on a regular basis. We offer flexible appointment times so that you can schedule an appointment around your work or family schedule, making it easier than ever to get a teeth cleaning.
At Treasure Valley Dental Care, we practice gentle dentistry and provide teeth cleanings for patients with sensitive teeth. Many adults avoid visiting the dentist due to concern that their teeth will hurt or feel worse during the exam or subsequent cleaning. When working with the right dentist, you can feel comfortable regardless of how sensitive your teeth are. We offer a variety of sedation methods so that you do not have to feel anything while getting your dental cleaning and examinations. Whether you need something to relax or direct pain medication, we can create a treatment plan that includes sedation so that you can remain comfortable.
If you live in Idaho, it is important to understand the reason that teeth become sensitive. Very often, it is due to the enamel on the outside of the teeth wearing away. Enamel can wear away due to age, what you eat and improper oral health care. While brushing with desensitizing toothpaste can help, you need to continue visiting the dentist to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy. Otherwise, the sensitivity can increase. During your dental exam, let us know about the discomfort you are feeling so that we can discuss ways to reduce it by using methods such as a fluoride treatment or sealant.
During the teeth cleaning and examination, we will also discuss ways that you can keep your teeth and gums healthy at home. At Treasure Valley Dental Care, we believe that good oral hygiene at home is important to do in conjunction with visiting our office. We recommend that you use a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth twice a day and use fluoride toothpaste. This will keep harmful sugar and bacteria off of your teeth and the fluoride will help to strengthen them. You will also benefit from flossing daily to get food particles and bacteria out of hard to reach places. Following up with an antibacterial mouthwash will help to kill any remaining germs.
Your diet is also important to good oral health. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a diet that contains dairy products, lean protein, green vegetables and complex carbs so that your body gets the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. We can provide additional tips and information during your dental cleaning and examinations. To schedule your appointment with Treasure Valley Dental Care call (208) 656-6070.

I have known Karen Tidsall, InterCHANGE trainer, since June 05 when she started delivering training for early years and childcare practitioners in Camden.
I have appreciated the care and professionalism with which Karen has approached this project. Karen has liaised with me regularly to ensure the sessions are responsive to the needs of participants and to suggest ways forward. We have worked well together to develop new ideas: Karen has been very responsive to suggestions and has embraced new projects with great enthusiasm and professionalism.
Participants’ feedback shows that her depth of knowledge and ability to create and invigorating learning environment has enabled them to grow in confidence and develop the necessary expertise to successfully manage a diverse range of team members and tackle challenging work dilemmas. Karen’s particular strength is to encourage individuals to achieve insight, clarity and appropriate solutions through interaction with others. She combines group discussion, pair work and individual and group exercises with informative teaching slots on practical techniques, knowledge and relevant theory.
The management courses run by Karen have now become a core element of the CPD training programme offered to all early years and childcare practitioners.

An eventful Champ Week saw a number of teams featuring Australian men advance to the 2019 NCAA Tournament, with March Madness taking a hold in US college basketball.
Selection Sunday finalised the NCAA Tournament field, with a total of 12 Australian men across 8 teams set to go ‘dancing’. Seven of those teams won their conference tournaments to book direct entry into the event, while one (Virginia) were included in the field after a brilliant season and are currently ranked number two nationally entering this week.
Saint Mary’s of course avoided the bubble talk this year after stunning number one ranked Gonzaga in the final of the WCC Tournament, with Jordan Hunter named Most Outstanding Player and to the All-Tournament Team. Duke Captain Jack White played a support role off the bench as the Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament with Zion Williamson returning to the line-up from injury.
Jayden Hodgson and Bradley booked their ticket following a Missuri Valley tournament win, while the Aussies at Montana (Ben Carter, Big Sky), Utah State (Ben Fakira, Mountain West), Colgate (Hugh Baxter, Patriot League) and UC Irvine (Aiden Krause, Big West) all won their conference tournaments also to ensure they were going to go dancing.
This is how all the teams boasting Australians were drawn, with the First Round tipping off on 22-23 March Australian time.
There is no denying that Duke as a number one seed and boasting the national player of the year back from injury are one of the teams to beat. Jack White as team captain plays a supporting role of the bench, but his influence on the on-court performances have diminished over recent months.
While Duke may garner a lot of the attention, don’t write off fellow number one seed Virginia who has been one of the hottest offensive teams this season, and like Duke, ranked inside the top 10 teams in the nation all season long. Freshman Kody Stattmann has been sparingly used this season, and may see little or no court time come the tournament unless the game is a blowout.
Saint Mary’s played goliath in the WCC Tournament final by knocking off current number one team Gonzaga, with Hunter and Tanner Krebs playing key roles for the Gaels. Like most Randy Bennett coached teams, they play efficiently and boast good shooters. Given their success against the ‘Zags last week, they will be full of confidence when they take on Villanova in the first round and must like their chances of progressing to a possible date with Purdue (#3) or Old Dominion.
Of the remaining teams with Aussies on their rosters, as low seeds they all face huge tasks to get past their first round opponents. UC Irvine may well be the best placed to cause an opening round upset, having dismantled all their Big West foes en route to securing their NCAA tournament bid. However it is unlikely we will see much on court action from their Aussie players who have played small roles throughout 2018/19.
The Australian’s will tip-off their tournament campaigns on 22 March Australian time following the conclusion of the First Four.

Today finds me deeply grieving over the oil spill following the April 20th tragic loss of a British Petroleum oil rig 48 miles off the Louisiana shoreline. The latest estimate is that 200,000 gallons of oil are fouling the Gulf of Mexico every day. Current plans to contain the leak on the sea floor may take several weeks and are untested at these depths. Long term plans are also iffy and will take three months or more. If twenty wildlife refuges and 400 species are threatened after only ten days, what about three months from now?
I thought I was used to corporate and governmental foolishness, but I was not ready for this. Sealing a leak a mile below the surface seems to have everyone shrugging their shoulders. BP’s original environmental impact analysis for this rig stated that a huge spill was “unlikely, or virtually impossible.” Their plans for responding to oil spills did not even address the possibility that their seafloor equipment might fail. Now, because such a major spill is “unprecedented” at a depth where water pressure is well over a ton per square inch, no one knows what to do.
In this case, the cost of our recklessness could be enormous. I hope they can drop containers to restrict the oil flow soon. I hope the leak does not increase five-fold, as some have speculated. But this man-made disaster has the potential of eclipsing any other that has come before. Multitudes of God’s creatures could be destroyed, and entire ecosystems could be wrecked. I believe God cares about these creatures and the home he specifically designed for them. I’m not talking about “animal rights;” I’m talking about something much more important. I’m talking about God’s good pleasure, or in this case his displeasure. It matters when we make God sad … or mad.
Of course, that displeasure will also extend to the way countless livelihoods and entire communities will be ruined, and how an enormous amount of our grandchildren’s money will be invested to mitigate the consequences. My point is simply that what we have done in the Gulf is the kind of irresponsible behavior that displeases God in the extreme. It is reckless and careless, what he labels as the work of fools. Not that oil drilling or even offshore drilling is foolish in itself. We have been so shortsighted in our energy policy that such dangerous activities must be considered. But it is absurd to risk huge ecological disaster without first being reasonably certain we can handle catastrophic failure.
We didn’t risk the lives of a handful of astronauts without years of expensive testing and fail-safe preparations. We would never think of building a nuclear power plant in a populated area without adequate safety controls in place from day one, instead of hoping that they might figure out a way to deal with a complete meltdown in the unlikely event such a thing occurred. It is mind boggling to discover that deep sea drilling has been attempted without any thought given to massive failure.
Wisdom looks for what is right and pursues it responsibly. In this day and age, I would think that wisdom would put all available resources into developing a sustainable energy plan, investing in whatever research we need in order to expand energy resources in reasonable safety.
Foolishness builds castles in clouds. It overlooks problems in plain sight to search the horizon for huge profits. Foolishness gives little thought to risk or realistic planning for possible failure.
I dearly hope my concerns are unfounded. I pray that BP will demonstrate remarkable skill and seal the leak they caused within days.
And what if it takes four months to stop the flow of oil? Or six months? What if it turns out that we simply do not yet have the technology to seal multiple oil hemorrhages a mile under water? What then? Apparently, no one asked such questions. Certainly no one demanded answers.
Recklessness and carelessness. Overlooking wise precautions to search the ends of the earth for treasure. The consequences could be staggering.
But amidst all our concern about the economic and human impact of what we have done, let us please not forget the worst part of it all: we have offended our Creator. Our foolishness has trashed his property, endangered creatures he loves and injured people in his image.
While we do all we can to practically deal with this, let’s also tell God that we are heartsick, ask his forgiveness, repent of our foolishness and humbly rest in the grace of his Son, who took all our pollution upon himself.
Next > Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven?

Teach wide range of music with fun, light, easy and effective methods. Free first lesson.
I'm a postgraduate Data Science student at RMIT University. My teaching technique includes a lot of interactive problem solving sessions; as I believe that without practical implementation of what you've learned, it is very difficult to call yourself completely literate in that particular subject. So practical sessions is something I focus on greatly during the course.

To most people, paranoia carries a negative connotation. I believe it is one of the most valuable attributes a leader can have. It is about self-reflection and having the courage, humility, and discipline to constantly ask uncomfortable questions that can potentially poke holes in your strategy and challenge your conventional thinking.
I'm honored to have the support of Attorney General Bondi. She has been a champion for constitutionally limited government in Florida and across the nation. Our state is fortunate to have a leader so dedicated to the rule of law.
When Margaret Thatcher was leader, she and Michael Heseltine were hardly soulmates, but she would not have allowed personal rivalry to take the heat off the Labour Party, whose own deep internal divisions are buried in other news now, nor would she have countenanced any attempt to have a show trial.
A president who aspires to be recognized as a global leader should not personally stake out a foreign-policy goal, commit himself eloquently to its attainment, and then yield the ground when confronted by firm opposition.
On September 11, 2001, Russia's then-president, Vladimir Putin, called U.S. President George W. Bush - making Putin the first international leader to speak with Bush after the attacks.
I was leader of the Opposition when Vajpayee was PM. We attacked policies, not personalities, neither inside or outside the House.
All religious leaders and spiritual teachers emphasize finding a place within us that is true. People who obsessively follow these leaders instead of their own purpose attach to the spiritual leader and become fanatical and controlling. That's why Jesus tried to tell his followers not to get attached to outward form.
America is a world leader, but we should not be its policeman or ATM.
When I ran the anchor leg to a gold medal with my Canadian teammates Glenroy Gilbert, Bruny Surin, and Robert Esmie in the 4x100-metre relay at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, it was my responsibility to motivate the guys as unofficial captain and leader.
Just as an athlete must exercise his body to be a winner, a leader must exercise his position of authority. If he doesn't, he loses that authority.
The proud decades of victorious advance of the Juche-oriented youth movement are associated with the invaluable blood and sweat and heroic exploits of the young people who fought self-sacrificingly for the Party, the leader, the country, and the people.

There is a direct correlation between a healthy mouth and the wellness of the entire body. We want to partner with you in achieving and maintaining lifelong dental health. Learn about our services.
My whole life, I’ve had dental anxiety. It’s always felt like I was getting punished and rebuked by a dentist, and I couldn’t understand why I was getting cavities when I was taking good care of my teeth. No matter what I did, my dentists would always seem to be angry at me, which I believe resulted in my anxiety. With my first visit to CDHP a few years ago, that anxiety completely vanished. The staff and hygienists are all extremely welcoming and kind. Dr. Paukert is funny, personable, and encouraging. This was the first team to identify the underlying problems with my teeth that were making cavities inevitable. They gave me the simple resources I needed to fix the problem, which no other dentist had ever done. I’ve been cavity-free for two years now thanks to them! Now I don’t dread going to the dentist; I even kind of look forward to seeing all the kind, smiling faces. Keep up the great work, CDHP!
The staff is always helpful, caring and cheerful while dispensing excellent care. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I tried that once to go to an in-network provider and came back. There is no comparison.
From the first phone call to the initial visit you will experience a professional, unrushed approach to your dental care. We offer the most current technology and unparalleled customer service.

Walkadoo is an app that provides user with a new step goal every morning (calculated by our algorithm that references the amount of steps you took the last couple of days to calculate a realistic but challenging goal).
When I came aboard the Walkadoo team, there was an iOS app that had very basic functionality- see your step goal, see the feed, comment and smile on feed items. The app mirrored much of the predetermined web app branding. We began to plan for a relaunch, with which we would introduce new features monthly. We chose to focus on derbies, our competitive feature. We also wanted to add more social activity to the app, including the ability to search for friends, follow new people, and invite friends to join. Finally, we wanted to add the ability for users to select an avatar for the derby- users would receive new avatars as they level-up and complete tasks within the app.
We wanted to allow users to start using the product right away, without giving us any information. We wanted to lower the barrier of entry and get users engaged right from the start. So, we decided to allow the new user into the app and give them a practice step goal card so that they can start using Walkadoo right away. I knew that I didn't want to do a swipe-through tutorial; the app really doesn't take much explanation anyways! Instead, I opted to include a bunny character (WD has long used a bunny as our mascot) that would walk the user through the onboarding steps.
In order to start counting the user’s steps right away, we needed them to grant their permissions. Once permissions are granted, we encourage the user to start walking! I wanted to find a magic step number for the practice card. A number low enough that they could finish the card with their phone in their hand, but high enough that they wouldn’t count up to it in their head (just in case the phone mechanics are off!). I did a few tests walking around, and decided that 25 worked best.
I wanted to solve for the user who was not able to complete this flow in one feedback loop: the user on the bus, or in a car, or can’t immediately start the practice card for whatever reason. So, if a user is on their phone and grants permissions, but then doesn’t start walking after 10 seconds, we show a full screen message that entices the user to sign up. If they sign up, they will be all set up and ready to go for whenever they are ready to start taking those steps.
The user that does start taking the practice steps, however, will finish the card and receive a celebration moment, and a full-screen message inviting the user to sign up. If the user swipes the message away, we will continue to serve them daily cards, but won’t allow access to any other parts of the app.
"Derbies" are the social challenge feature in Walkadoo. Users can sign up with strangers or their friends, and we'll track their daily steps and move them forward on the race track as they move forward. At the end of the week, the person who has taken the most steps wins!
Bringing derbies to mobile would take a complete redesign. On web, they were laid out horizontally, and created with a lot of layered, skeuomorphic detail.
Now that we had the ability to view derbies on mobile, we wanted to build in functionality to create and invite people to join a derby from their phones.
I created a prototype of the micro-animations that would occur when the user invites others to join their derby.
Since we wanted to allow users to connect and socialize on the mobile app, we needed to start building a basic profile, starting simply with lists of followers and following, plus a link to settings. The next step was adding search.

If Massage was a Pill, Everyone Would Take It!
You know those moments; the boss drops a last-minute project off on your desk that needs to be done at the same time you’re supposed to be meeting with your rambunctious son’s school teacher to discuss his behavior problems, your in-laws are coming to stay for a week, you get a flat tire and your largest customer calls to complain. As soon as you stop to notice it, you recognize that feeling of tension creeping from your shoulders, up your neck, ready to turn into a full-blown tension headache at any moment.
Stop! You can do a 2 minute, quick-fix anytime, anywhere to relieve tension and hopefully prevent that headache from taking hold.
1. Sit down, straighten out your spine and take a few deep breaths.
2. Interlace your hands on the back of your skull, pads of the thumbs resting on the ridge where your skull meets the neck.
3. Squeeze your hands together 3 times, gently pulling on the back of the head.
4. Rub the base of the palms in big circles (keeping fingers interlaced) 3 times clockwise, then 3 counterclockwise.
5. Press the thumbs into the canyon between the edge of your skull and the neck muscles. Move from the center of the skull on the spine out towards the ears, making circles the whole way. Then circle back to the center of the skull.
7. Move your hands down your neck and rub the neck muscles on either side of the spine.
8. Release arms, close eyes and take a few more deep breaths.
Triage complete, you’ve probably headed off a tension headache, at least temporarily.

"We finished the film in 2015, and it premiered at (the Tribeca Film Festival) in April of 2015. After that, we did what was pretty typical with independent films where we screened at a number of films in the U.S. and other countries to build awareness around the film. That went through 2015 and into early 2016," McNicol told the Longview News Journal.
That tedious process led to a final decision.
"After lots of conversations and back and forth, we felt we were better positioned to distribute the film ourselves with our company and the help of the Sundance Institute, who originally supported the film both financially and inviting us to Sundance labs to work on the film," McNicol's said.
The film was also shown last week in Shreveport and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Tonight's viewing is already sold out in Marshall but it will be shown next weekend, March 10 through 12. Tickets and showtimes can be found at marshallcinema.com.
Co-director Anna Sandilands along with the film's cast, Zach Warren, Henry Lewis and Wayne Smith, will have a question and answer session after each of the three showings tonight.
"Uncertain" is available for pre-order on iTunes and available for rent or purchase on March 17. Check out the trailer below.

To see earlier projects, go to my main weaving page.
Take a look at what the Berkshire Guild did at the Silchester Roman dig where we were demonstrating a warp-weighted loom as well as teaching low-whorl spindling and tabletweaving to visitors.
This bag is my first project woven with handspun yarn. I made it for an internet "small bag" exchange (it is 5" by 4"), but I've decided to keep it for myself, if I can get a substitute woven in time. The yarn was worsted spun from Wensleydale tops, 1750 ypp. I dyed it in 3 shades of indigo, because I wanted to submit it for the Kennet Valley guild's September challenge, to make something using 3 shades of the same colour. The pattern is a plaited twill. The cord is kumihimo - yatsu kongo.
This is one of the bags I sent instead, using 30/2 silk which I also indigo-dyed. the dyeing is rather uneven, but I still like the bags, which are about 2.5" square. The pattern is almost the same plaited twill as the Wensleydale bag, but this time the cord is just twisted .
This summer I made 2 baby blankets for a friend's daughters. They are both in 10/2 mercerised cotton. The first one is turned Atwater Bronson lace. Although the pattern looks quite complicated, it only needs 4 shafts!!!
The other blanket is also Atwater-Bronson lace, this time in a dogwood pattern.

In 2012, I told Pleasanton residents about the goals I wanted to implement if they chose me as Mayor. Financial accountability topped that list of goals.
As a municipal agency, Pleasanton has consistently been AA+ rated by Standard and Poor’s. We are the envy of many California cities that lack our 10% reserve for economic uncertainties.
I have a personal commitment to do whatever we can as a City to help maintain the high quality education that our community expects and deserves. As a result, the City shares the cost and maintains a number of facilities such as gymnasiums at middle schools, tennis courts at middle schools and high schools, and sports fields throughout the city and district. The City also provides traffic controls and crossing guards at schools at no charge to the district.
We have negotiated higher than State-required School Impact Fees from developers.
Completed in 2013, Stoneridge Drive now connects Livermore and Pleasanton at the junction of the elegant Stoneridge Creek Retirement Community and a wonderful 5-acre neighborhood park. The project also features a trail extension that connects the Arroyo Mocho Trail to the Livermore Trail system.
Our new Housing Element, combined with our Growth Management Ordinance, will allow us to remain in compliance with State law and carefully meter future growth; for example, in 2015, the City only approved 140 new residential units.
Promoted the Ride-to-School program in partnership with the Pleasanton Unified School District utilizing the Wheels Bus system in partnership with the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Agency.
In 2011, the City Council established a goal of reducing the City’s unfunded pension liabilities by 10% over 5 years. We have exceeded this goal, reducing liabilities by 13% over three years!
Sports and recreation are very important to the Pleasanton community!
Celebrating its 8th Anniversary! A unique addition to our Parks and Recreation facilities honoring our local history.
Oak Woodland area, with grading, paved and lighted pathways, and major tree plantings.
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary! Attracting over 2,500 resident visits each day.
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary! It continues to attract hundreds of residents every day to participate in the activities planned there.
Amended the City’s wireless communications ordinance, allowing for increased areas where cell phone carriers can locate facilities.
Converted more than 5,400 streetlights to new L-E-D fixtures, saving the City about $200,000 per year in energy and maintenance costs.
Launched Mobile Citizen, a free mobile app that allows residents to notify the city staff about maintenance problems such as potholes, graffiti, broken water sprinklers, clogged storm drains, streetlight outages, and more.
and a historic downtown with a hometown feel.

I began working with Delena Martens three years ago. She is the daughter of Ian Martens, gifted guitarist, teacher and composer. When she began studying with me, she was already a seasoned performer, playing in a trio with her father and sister, appearing regularly at venues in Saskatoon. In fact, before I began teaching her, I had the opportunity to listen to her singing and accompanying Ian at McNally Robinson. I was impressed by her sincere, captivating vocals and natural sense of musicality.
Delena came to me, having just completed a Grade Five Royal Conservatory Examination. She expressed a desire to possibly work towards obtaining a Grade Eight certificate. I disagreed. I felt that continuing her studies in a "traditional" manner would not give her the practical skills she needed to make her a better performer. I introduced elements of improvisation to her and encouraged her to explore her musicality, as well as studying more challenging developmental repertoire. Delena was open-minded and musically malleable. Soon she was playing brilliant spontaneous improvisations for me each week.
This year, our focus was to prepare Delena for an audition to MacEwan University, in Edmonton. Delena auditioned for both piano and voice and was accepted by both disciplines. She decided to pursue studies in voice.
Delena Martens is an extremely talented, musically gifted and amazing young lady. It was an honor and an absolute pleasure to be able to work with her and witness her growth over the past three years. I wish her all the best in her future musical endeavours. Grant MacEwan University will never be the same!

Let's say survivors in the area contaminated by radioactive fallout need to somehow process the water from rivers, rain or pipes. How could they go about it? Is it even possible to 'remove radioactivity' from the water?
The water itself isn't radioactive, rather particles dissolved in it, because water is a quite good solvent. Therefore, filtration (e.g. with activated carbon) or precipitation can remove such particles. Also a ion exchanger can remove radioactive species. But this can take quite long, especially if the needed amount is large.

After a brief illness Roger passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Montfort Hospital in Ottawa on June 4, 2016 at the age of 73. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend Jacqueline, whom he adored. They were married for 52 years and were rarely apart.
Loving father of Marie-France and Claudine (Yvon Audette). He was so proud of both of his children and he loved sharing their successes with his family and friends.
Survived by his brothers Marcel, Yvan and Patrice and sister Suzanne. Roger loved his family and friends deeply and he enjoyed so many wonderful times with them stretching from Coaticook all the way to Florida.
Roger was a doting and loving grandfather to Anne and Max. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. He loved hearing their stories, spending special time with each one of them and they loved spending time with him, too. He offered guidance and advice, strength and laughter and most of all love, to each one of them on every occasion they were together.
Roger was many things. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He enjoyed a distinguished career in the Canadian Armed Forces. He was a kind and generous friend. He was incredibly loyal and honest. He was joyful and charismatic. He was a hero and mentor to many. He was an amazing host and he was, by far, a man of strong character.
He traveled the world, leaving a positive impact everywhere he went.
Roger was happiest when surrounded by people he loved, whether marking an event or just ringing in happy hour in Florida. With this in mind, his family and friends are invited to a Memorial Gathering located at Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa from 1-4pm Monday June 13th.
In appreciation and gratitude for the extraordinary care and support Roger and his family received from the staff at Montfort Hospital, in lieu of flowers memorial donations in his memory can be made to The Montfort Foundation.

On reconnaît Roger à ses multiples qualités et talents. Il s’est montré dévoué comme mari, comme père et grand-père. Il a connu une brillante carrière dans les Forces armées canadiennes. Il était un ami gentil et généreux. D’une grande intégrité, il était incroyablement loyal et honnête. Il était joyeux et charismatique. Il était un héros et fut un mentor pour plusieurs. Il était un homme fort de caractère et un hôte remarquable.
Il a parcouru le monde, laissant un impact positif partout où il passait.
Roger était à son plus heureux quand il était entouré des gens qu’il aimait, que ce soit pour signaler un événement particulier ou tout simplement pour célébrer le ‘happy hour’ en Floride. Dans cet esprit, sa famille et les amis sont invités à un rassemblement commémoratif dans la Salle des drapeaux, au Cimetière Beechwood, situé au 280, avenue Beechwood à Ottawa, le lundi 13 juin, de 13h00 à 16h00.

SIMPSON, Robert Ernest – On Friday, June 3rd, Robert Ernest Simpson passed away at the age of 89 at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba with his wife and family by his side. Loving memories are shared by Rose (Bob’s second wife); children Claire Zimmerman, Jeff and his wife Kim, Scott, and Andrea and her partner Rob Maier; grandchildren Matthew, Heather, Jenna, Steven, Julie and Emily. Bob was predeceased by his first wife, Beulah (2003), his brother Stanley “Bud” (1973), sister Clara Harrison (1969), and daughter-in-law Ute (2013).
The son of Stanley and Alice Simpson, Bob was born on April 5th, 1927 and raised in Brockville, Ontario. Despite a childhood bout of rheumatic fever, he excelled scholastically, taking lead roles in musicals and serving as Brockville Collegiate Institute’s yearbook editor.
Bob loved spending time on the St. Lawrence River with his family and with Sea Cadets, eventually building a cottage overlooking the river with his Dad after his mother’s death. He returned frequently to visit his roots; savouring family reunions, river traffic, the Thousand Islands, Royal Military College (RMC) Club of Canada reunions and Old Brigade parades.
Bob graduated from RMC with a BA in History and Economics, and married his high school sweetheart, Beulah Louch, on August 15, 1953. He joined the Marketing Division of Shell Canada, working in sales and real estate development in Ottawa, Brockville, Halifax and Montreal. After working for Brunswick Canada (1965), he joined the Area Development Agency of the Department of Industry in Ottawa; receiving his bilingual designation, and completing his graduate diploma in Public Administration from Carleton University, and the industrial development program of the American Industrial Council at the University of Oklahoma.
He continued his career in economic development with DREE, DRIE, and Western Economic Diversification in Winnipeg, retiring in 1991 after 25 years with the federal government. With each career move, Bob oversaw the construction of a new home for his family. He strove to ensure his children had a good education and loved to talk about history and current events. Each summer the family embarked on extended camping trips visiting sites and cities across Canada and the USA.
Throughout his life, Bob volunteered with the Canadian Forces Militia (attaining the rank of Major in the Artillery); Industrial Developers Association of Canada; Boy Scouts of Canada; Rotary Clubs in Brockville, Ontario and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; Royal United Services Institute (Winnipeg) and Canadian Club of Winnipeg.
He enjoyed singing with Sturgeon Creek United Church choir, the Winnipeg Male Chorus and the Southwinds Chorus. Upon retirement, Bob and Beulah travelled and spent winter months at their mobile home in Sarasota, Florida. When Beulah became ill with ALS in 2002, Bob renovated their Winnipeg home to accommodate her needs and later visited her daily in hospital until she passed away in 2003. They were married 49 years.
On June 24, 2005, Bob married his second wife, Rose Pout. They shared a love for traveling, visiting family in other provinces, working out at the Wellness Institute and going for coffee at McDonalds. Both Bob and Rose were determined to stay in their own home as long as possible. Rose will miss her kind and caring partner with his sense of humour. The family extends sincere thanks to Cam and Janis Kuzik, Transitions Senior Care, the Geriatric Program Assessment Team, and the doctors, nurses and palliative care staff who cared for Bob at Concordia Hospital and the Health Sciences Centre.
A celebration of Bob’s life will take place 2:00 p.m. Saturday, June 18th at Kildonan Community Church, 2373 Main Street, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of one’s choice. BARDAL FUNERAL HOME 843 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg MB 204-774-7474.
My old buddy Shane died a couple weeks ago, and at the time it did not occur to me that I first met him when he came to RMC in 1997 as our College Food Services Officer. He was at the College for at least four years and was an honorary member of the Class of 2001. He was “academic advisor” to quite a few cadets, one of the very few NCMs permitted by the Academic Wing to perform this function at that time. He was well known and I think much loved by the cadets, and his staff certainly loved him.
I would like to contact their class secretary to let them know about this.
After he left the College, Shane returned to the Navy. He served as the Cox’n of the submarine HMCS Corner Brook, and then was appointed Cox’n a second time with the submarine HMCS Chicoutimi. On her way home from acceptance trials in the UK, Chicoutimi took a wave over her sail, which caused an immediate short circuit in the boat’s electrical system, an immediate fire with toxic smoke, and a complete loss of power to the boat. RMC Graduate Lt (N) Saunders died as a result of smoke inhalation, and then-CPO2 Irvine also inhaled a bunch of toxic smoke. Subsequently he developed lung conditions, including lung cancer. Complications from those lung conditions caused his death, in Halifax, on 24 May 16.
We laid Shane to rest in the Beechwood National Military Cemetery on Tuesday 7 June. I was honoured to be one of his pallbearers. There was a very strong military presence at the burial, including the Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, VAdm Norman, and many current and still-serving submariners. It was a very fine send-off.
Shane’s widow, PO1 (retd) Carol Irvine was the College Chief Clerk from 1998 until (I think) 2001.

Michael Owen is backing Liverpool FC to reach the Champions League semi-finals despite predicting a high-scoring game at Manchester City on Tuesday night.
City had never previously lost back-to-back game since he took charge in the summer of 2016 but Guardiola still believes they can pull off a monumental comeback against Liverpool.
"Of course to go through you have to make nearly the flawless game, to create a lot of chances, be clinical, concede few chances". The high pressure, the intensity in the game was unbelievable, they nearly did it for 90 minutes.
"It always helps if you know about the problems, you deal with the problems but if we concede a goal nothing changes".
"We are going to see that it is a good test. Football, like life, is a challenge and we're happy to handle it".
Team captain Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan put head coach Pep Guardiola's side up by two goals in the first half against United.
"He is a fantastic team manager and player manager as well". I am so delighted.
"They are a team that like to play long balls", the Brazilian told a news conference. Other than that, Guardiola has all of his players ready for this Champions League match against their fellow English top-flight squad. That was without Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus on the pitch.
Pep Guardiola claims his "extraordinary" and "exceptional" Manchester City side will not give up in their quest to overturn the odds against Liverpool.
City has endured a bad week as it suffered a 3-0 drubbing by the Mohamed Salah-led Liverpool last Tuesday, a game where the side failed to register a single shot on target.
They know exactly what they have to do, and the shackles will be off - they will throw everything they have got at Jurgen Klopp's side from the start.
Liverpool will be hoping that forward Mohamed Saleh, who has a groin injury, will be fit to play.
"All the conditions have to be nearly flawless for us to go through because the first result was tough".

After weeks of uncertainty and waiting, Alice was finally invited for a job interview. She read and researched all there was to know about the job and the company, practiced her interview questions and answers. Although the role she interviewed for was a highly competitive role, she went prepared. She didn’t stumble on her words and answered the questions thrown at her correctly. But what she didn’t know was that the interviewer had this to say on her performance report sheet.
The above is an illustration of how a jobseeker lost a job opportunity because of a negative body movement she probably didn’t even know she was displaying.
Your body language can knowingly or unknowingly affect your chances of getting hired. Considering there are tons of qualified candidates vying for the same job you are, it behooves you to leave no stone unturned as you step into that interview room.
Here are body language mistakes you may be making and should avoid next time you attend an interview.
Keeping an expressionless face – Don’t get the recruiter feeling uncomfortable with your aura as this may give them the impression that you may not be a trustworthy person. Let a little enthusiasm and excitement/passion be seen in you.
Shifting or slouching in your seat – Even if you can’t wait to finish the interview and skip over to the part where you know your fate. Do not give the interviewer the impression that you are bored or tired even if he goes on and on with several lines of questioning.
Avoiding eye contact -This can make the interviewer think you are dishonest or nervous. Appropriate eye contact speaks of confidence and self-esteem.
Biting your lips – When you bite your lips while talking to an interviewer, it shows you are anxious or nervous.
Scratching your head – If you do this anytime the interviewer asks you a question, he/she will take it that you are confused and don’t know what you are doing.
Flaring nostrils – This will only make the interviewer think you are angry and frustrated with the whole process.
Good luck on your next interview. As you tell the interviewer how much of an asset you will be to them, do not let your body tell them something else.

I wholeheartedly third the request for these training sessions to be documented and distributed online.  My frustration at constantly missing out on sessions like this has reached the point of madness!
Every time I see announcements like this, I can't help but feel SESI is missing out on fantastic opportunities to expand the knowledge of their current user group, as well as enlighten users of other packages around the globe that Houdini is not just a particles and dynamics package.  Essentially, anyone who does not live within the proximity of the SESI building, Santa Monica, or other N.American locations these sessions are being held are being denied critical *free* training because we were unfortunate enough to live/work in another part of the world.  Yes, I know that life isn't fair, but you guys are killing me - please throw us a life preserver out here!
SESI provides us with the forum/blog that contains some bits and pieces, but I think you'll agree that it is nothing on the scale of a character setup demo like is outlined below.  This content in particular is crucial to helping Houdini break out of the "oh yeah, that particles package" stereotype that everyone I speak to who's never used it has.  If I could sit down in front of them and quickly link up a character setup system like is discussed below, I guarantee their eyes would pop, their jaw would drop, and they would shove me out of the way so they could have a go.  How many more users could we gain if we had links to free training that shows them how to do it on their own?
Please help *us* to help *you* show the rest of the CG community just how much Houdini can really do - circulate this training and other sessions like it online!
pass this along to anyone you think might be interested.
We hope you'll stay afterwards for a beer!
to easily create your own custom rig configurations.

A green environment actively contributes to the quality of life. People are happier and feel better in green surroundings. Besides, green places like parks and public gardens invite social interaction and exercise. People meet each other for a chat in a park, or join hands to maintain a green playground in the neighbourhood.
Finally, research has shown that the presence of green plants and activities in natural surroundings contribute to safer and whole neighbourhoods. So, ‘green’ does contribute to a safer and more pleasant living environment as well.

Government house in Sydney is a beautiful stately building surrounded by just over 12 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds adjoining the Royal Botanic Gardens. It sits just behind the Sydney Opera House overlooking Farm Cove on Sydney Harbour. With its gothic revival architecture and many turrets, it is more like a small castle than a house.
Construction of Government House in Sydney, which replaced the Old Government House in Parramatta, began in 1837. The architect, Edward Blore, was also very much involved in the design of Buckingham Palace in London. In 1845 the first resident, Governor George Gipps, moved in. Except for a period of time between 1996 and 2011 the house has always been the residence of the Governor or Governor-General. Beginning in 1996 the house was managed by the Historic Houses Trust. They continue to manage the property to this day carrying out a rigorous program of restoration and maintenance. In 2011, after much public protest, it was decided that the Governor should once again take up official residence in Government House as it was realized that it was actually costing more to maintain the property without the Governor residing there.
Government House hosts many functions throughout the year, including state functions, concerts, festivals, exhibitions and as many as 250 Vice Regal functions.
Nearby attractions include : Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney Opera House, Customs House, Justice and Police Museum and the Museum of Sydney.

The rapid growth of a child from infancy up to the age of twelve years makes it impossible to provide one restraint system that meets all the stages of the child’s development to the same degree.
At present, there are two systems available for securing children in cars: forward-facing or backward-facing. The system facing away from the direction of travel is particularly suitable for infants and very young children. Since the ratio of head weight to body weight is substantially higher in small children, the child’s backward-facing position protects them against cervical spine injury. Older children, whose neck muscles are better developed, are best secured in child safety seats that are installed in the direction of travel.

Marketing Matters: Find Your Competitor’s Keywords!
Good SEO performance isn’t just about knowing which keywords and phrases to use – knowing what your competitors are doing can help too!
The best way to maximise the number of visitors to your website is to make use of the words and phrase that the search engine is looking for when a user clicks on the ‘search’ button.
• When you’ve found one, click through to its homepage.
• This will bring up an HTML coded page (Tech-jargon!), but it looks like very ‘basic’ text.
• This is where you’ll find your competitors’ keywords! For example, if you’re checking a building/construction-related website, you might see words like ‘timber’ or ‘kitchens’. So, when a customer types any of these keywords into Google search, this website will eventually come up.
Make a note of the most frequently used words, but also keep a look out for words that aren’t as common – these keywords may explain why your competitors are experiencing more hits! You’ll be an SEO Expert in no time!
And be sure that your website makes full use of keywords that elevate your ranking in search results!
