Mumbai, December 17 2014: A new McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report identifies a dozen technologies, ranging from the mobile Internet to cloud computing to advanced genomics, which could have a combined economic impact of $550 billion to $1 trillion a year in 2025.
The selection of the 12 technologies for India was based on a similar process established by MGI’s earlier work on disruptive technologies.
For India, they used additional criteria to identify the technologies that would have a direct impact on the country’s economic and social challenges in the coming decade. As a result, McKinsey include technologies such as electronic payments, which are well established in other parts of the world but not well developed in India. By 2025, however, electronic payments could help 300 million Indians join the country’s financial system.
The 12 technologies are: Mobile Internet, Cloud Technology, Automation of Knowledge work, digital payments, verifiable digital technology, Internet of Things, Intelligent transportation and distribution, Advanced Geographic Information Systems, Next Generation Genomics, Advanced oil and gas exploration and recovery, renewable energy, advanced energy storage.

Getting a package delivered to your home has become a ritual for most Americans, and with the convenience of online shopping, those packages may be coming very frequently. A recent headline went as far to say online shopping is turning Americans into hoarders.
Meghan Siddall, with Streamlined Living Colorado says, online shopping has made it easier for people to buy more than they need; in return, that can make a cluttered house.
"You want to set yourself up for success to declutter, because like you said before, some people are so overwhelmed they don't know where to start," Siddall says.
To help yourself declutter, Siddall suggests starting with a junk drawer. If you can start with organizing that, you can move onto bigger messes.
Siddall suggests not purchasing new containers to help organize.
"If you declutter first, and then see what you have left to organize, then buy those products that you want, like the containers, boxes and cute bins."
Siddall also recommends creating a space in your home where you can put items you wish to donate, whether it’s a bag or box you can tuck in your closet.
According to storage company SpareFoot, 51 percent of Americans admit they have a cluttered home. That's why Siddall is a big advocate on getting organized with online purchases.
"It can lead to anxiety, depression and have a hard time focusing,” explains Siddall. “And having a cluttered bedroom can absolutely effect your sleep in a negative way."

Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Wayne Carson passed away on the morning of July 20, following a long illness.
Noted for such compositions as “The Letter,” “Always on My Mind” and “No Love at All,” Carson was also a recording artist and a song publisher. He died in hospice care at age 73.
Born Wayne Carson Thompson in Denver, CO, he was the son of country performers Odie and Olivia Thompson. Their stage names were Shorty and Sue. After stints on the radio in Nebraska and Colorado, they moved to Springfield, Mo. to join the staff at KWTO.
Shorty became a member of The Tall Timber Boys on The Ozark Jubilee radio and TV program in Springfield. Inspired by Merle Travis, Wayne began playing guitar at age 14. As a youngster, he performed on the offshoot show Junior Jubilee alongside Brenda Lee.
He became an even bigger success with 1967’s “The Letter,” an international No. 1 hit for The Box Tops. The song was revived in 1970 by Joe Cocker, has been recorded by more than 20 others and can currently be heard on the soundtrack of the Minions movie.
Carson also wrote The Box Tops hits “Neon Rainbow” (1968) and “Soul Deep” (1969). Other early successes in the pop field were “Do It Again, a Little Bit Slower” by Jon & Robin and The In Crowd (1967), “Nine Pound Steel” by Joe Simon (1967), “Cussin’ Cryin’ and Carryin’ On” by Ike & Tina Turner (1967) and “Keep On” by Bruce Channel (1968).
In Nashville, Waylon Jennings had hits with Carson’s “Something’s Wrong in California” (1969) and “(Don’t Let the Sun Set on You in) Tulsa” (1971). Mel Tillis took the songwriter’s “Who’s Julie” into the country top-10 in 1969.
“No Love at All” became another often-recorded Wayne Carson song. Lynn Anderson took it up the country charts in 1970, then B.J. Thomas made it an even bigger pop hit the following year. It has also been recorded by Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Dottie West and others.
His co-written “Always on My Mind” began its journey to becoming a standard when Brenda Lee introduced it in 1972. Elvis Presley recorded it the following year. Then Willie Nelson’s version of the song became a smash hit in 1982, when it won Song of the Year honors from the Grammy Awards, the CMA, the NSAI and other organizations. It has since been recorded by dozens of others, including Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Anne Murray and Scotty McCreery. The Pet Shop Boys had a No. 1 hit in the U.K. with it in 1988.
Wayne Carson co-wrote a string of honky-tonk country classics in the 1970s. They include Conway Twitty’s “I See the Want-To in Your Eyes” (1974), Johnny Paycheck’s “Slide Off Your Satin Sheets” (1977) and Moe Bandy’s “Barstool Mountain” (1979). Gary Stewart’s “Drinkin’ Thing’ (1974), “She’s Actin’ Single (I’m Drinkin’ Doubles)” (1975) and “Whiskey Trip” (1978) were all Carson songs.
By this time, Wayne Carson was an established recording artist, himself. He made the country charts three times during the 1970s. During his career, he released records on the Decca, Monument, Elektra, Private Stock, EMH and MGM labels. He has also recorded for his own record company. His Life Lines LP was issued by Monument in 1972.
In 1979, Ray Price introduced the songwriter’s ballad “That’s the Only Way to Say Good Morning.” In 1982, Conway Twitty scored a No. 1 hit with Carson’s “The Clown.” Others who recorded his songs in Nashville include Gene Watson, T.G. Sheppard, Randy Travis, Shelby Lynne, Michael Johnson, Sammi Smith, Alabama, Billie Jo Spears, Tony Joe White, Vern Gosdin and Wade Hayes.
Wayne Carson was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1997. He went into semi-retirement, but occasionally continued to write songs. Dan Auerbach of the rock group The Black Keys recorded his “I Want Some More” on his 2009 solo album.
The Country Music Hall of Fame saluted Wayne Carson by featuring him in its Poets and Prophets songwriter series in 2011.
More than 75 million records have been sold by artists singing his songs.
Wayne Carson is survived by his wife Wyndi Harp and son Christian Head.
A celebration of life service was held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 at The Pavilion at Harpeth Hills Funeral Home, 9090 Hwy 100, Nashville, (615) 646-9292. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Southern Cross Boston Terrier Rescue at www.southerncrossbtr.com.

If you see your service window filling with the familiar faces of returning customers, you know you are doing it right. Repeat customers are crucial to your food truck business, and it is important to not only attract new customers, but retain the customers you have.
To do this, you need to not only know your customers, but understand them. Understanding starts with getting a handle on who your customer really is. Figure out a few traits of your food truck followers, research your audience and create a strong strategy to turn them into loyal followers. Understanding your customer is about how you can not only meet their needs, but also their evolving and future needs.
Customer expectations are the nonverbal agreements you establish with your customers. These expectations can include things like the level of service you provide, the quality and quantity of food, and may also include timing and presentation. These factors become the basis on which customers evaluate your food truck. The more you meet or exceed these expectations, the more likely you are to have loyal followers.
So you’ve spent all your time creating your concept and menu, but the queue at your service window isn’t as long you would like. No two food trucks are the same, but you need to figure out what makes yours so special.
Have you created all original dishes? Do you use any special ingredients? Think about what you can provide that your competitors cannot and turn this into your unique selling proposition (USP).
While it is almost impossible to retain every single customer, there are some great ways to turn a dissatisfied customer into a repeat one. To diffuse a situation some strategies include; create written policies, communicate in a calm voice, use empathy, find the problem, find potential solutions and understand that certain people just wont be happy. Don’t let one bad experience get you down! While losing a customer isn’t a good thing, it can turn into an opportunity to turn the situation around and grow as a business.

I am not sure if it is the time of year where everyone is ready for a break or if seniors are starting to come to the realization that life will not be a normal high school life in several months when they graduate. Either way, we felt it was a great time for a Quickfire! There has been some noticeable stress and anxiety lately with students looking for help or assurance, so why not do a little something to help them out and point them in a forward direction?
After completing the personality survey, they had to record their results (we saved them so we can revisit them when third trimester starts) and then read about their personality type. Some of the students were so in to what it had to say about them and their preferences, while others (I think) were overwhelmed about the entire process (which is totally ok at this point!). The point of this Quickfire was to start thinking about the future and possibilities for career choices.
After reading about their personality type and exploring some of the career paths for their personality type, we asked the students to create a representation of a career of interest using pipe cleaners. With this part, the students not only had to isolate one career option, but also translate how that career could be visually represented. This part was difficult for many because the provided career options were ones they weren't familiar with, difficult to represent an aspect of that career, or weren't sure how they fit into that particular career. I think it was a great activity for them to explore and start thinking about possible careers before the third trimester arrives.

Home > Blog > 2018 > January > Should I Get a Prenuptial Agreement?
Prenuptial agreements, though not necessarily romantic, are becoming more necessary than ever. No matter how much or how little your life earnings are, it is important you do your part to protect your future. The truth of the matter is, you can never predict what may happen--every engaged couple has had the feeling of, “it won’t happen to us.” Unfortunately, however, it happens to the best of us. A marriage we expected to last forever suddenly doesn’t. When it ends, you want to be confident you are walking away with what you deserve--nothing less.
A prenuptial agreement doesn’t mean you anticipate a break-up. It means you want both your loved one, as well as yourself, to be treated as fairly as possible in the event things don’t work out as you both wish them to. This is especially important in case it isn’t either party’s first marriage, there is a business in the picture, or you have or are planning to have children in the future. We believe it is best you do yourselves a favor and prevent a contentious situation down the road by preparing as early as possible.
At Burch, Coulston & Shepard, LLP, we are dedicated to offering our clients comprehensive solutions to any number of family law issues, ranging from the most standard to the most complex.

Dave and I have a Valentine's Day tradition of staying in and making some sort of pasta, rather than going out and fighting the "romantic" crowds at area restaurants. This year we prepared this gnocchi recipe together and enjoyed it with this Apple Fennel Salad as an appetizer.
To make the gnocchi. Mix the mashed sweet potato, ricotta, eggs, salt and parmesan together in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of the flour and mix well with your hands. The dough should be very sticky. Add another half cup of flour and mix in. The dough will still be sticky, but you'll be able to shape it into a ball. If you can't form the dough into a large ball, keep adding a little flour at a time until you can get a soft dough that will be rollable.
Spread some flour on a large work surface. Cut the dough ball into four equal pieces. Take one piece and cut it in half. Roll the piece of dough into a snake about 1/2 inch thick, then cut it into pieces about the width of a fork. Repeat this process with the other piece of dough and place the gnocchi on a large plate, cover and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a medium skillet over high heat, melt two tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer and let them sizzle until they have caramelized on the bottom, about 2 minutes. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss them once and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue to cook without stirring for about 5 minutes. Season once again with salt and pepper.
Add the remaining butter and cook until it begins to brown. Once the butter is browned reduce the heat and add the garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook for about 10 seconds. Add the balsamic vinegar, and simmer until the mushrooms are glazed with the sauce.
Now boil the gnocchi in the large pot until they float. Remove them with a slotted spoon and add them right into the skillet with the mushrooms/sauce. Add the gnocchi to the skillet with the mushrooms/sauce and let them get crisp on one side for a few minutes and then for a few minutes on the other. Remove from the heat and serve topped with crumbled goat cheese.
I know this recipe seems to contain a lot of steps, but after you make the first few gnocchi you'll get the hang of it. Dave ended up liking this recipe a lot, it reminded him of a dish from one of our favorite local restaurants and he couldn't get enough gnocchi.

Take into account this as half three in a Gear Index subset all about bottle cages, cargo carriers, and boss-mounted baggage for carrying additional gear and water. If you happen to’re searching for options for attaching cages or including mounts to your body, take a look at Methods to Connect Bottle Cages and Add Cage Mounts to Your Bike. And if you happen to’re considering bigger, open-sided, Something-style cargo cages, go to the Full Listing of Cargo Cages and Fork-Mounted Baggage. On this Gear Index, we’ve assembled an strong record of outsized bottle cages for storing bigger water bottles, helpful bottle cages which might be barely unconventional, and a number of other extensively examined standard-sized bottle cages that we confidently advocate for bikepacking and touring.
It could appear extreme to place quite a lot of thought and writing into a chunk of substances as mundane because the bottle cage, however bottle cages used on lengthy off-road excursions and rugged bikepacking journeys take quite a lot of abuse. Along with being continually abused by the obligation of securing heavy bottles on tough surfaces, they usually get knocked round whereas in transport, they usually’re vulnerable to bending and breaking. With that stated, we’ve discovered it moderately essential to have good, dependable cages. In spite of everything, as heavy as it’s, it’s supreme to place water on the bike, not in your again. No person needs to hold a three-liter hydration backpack whereas out using lengthy, consecutive days. So, listed here are the three standards we used to decide on the bottle cages on this reference record.
On most excursions we sometimes carry two cages that match customary water bottles and one or two outsized cages. And on routes such because the Baja Divide that require much more water capability, bottles resembling 32ozNalgenes or 40ozKlean Kanteens are a should. On this record, you’ll discover all of the outsized bottle cages we may scrounge up.
All through the record, you’ll discover a number of bottle cages which might be barely atypical. Some are notably helpful for various sizes or varieties of bottles, resembling a stainless-steel bottle. Others allow varied placements of the cage, a useful characteristic whenever you’re utilizing different baggage that intervene with the bottle, resembling a half-frame bag.
Over time (and miles), we’ve used all kinds and types of bottle cages, and damaged fairly a number of of them. We’ve discovered that you may virtually at all times discover replacements in virtually each nation, however most inexpensive wire cages put on out and turn into flimsy. So, we additionally included those which have stood the check of time.
Arundel designed the Looney Bin based mostly on the truth that not each bottle is the usual 73mm in diameter, and never everybody needs to make use of a “common” bottle whereas on their bike. Utilizing a ratcheting knob, the Looney Bin will maintain something from a small PET bottle, to a big bottle of Pinot Noir, as proven right here in Tasmania. We have been a bit of anxious about how this plastic cage would maintain up, however we’ve been extraordinarily impressed after utilizing it for 1000’s of miles, with out situation.
assistWe extremely encourage you to purchase from an area store when attainable, but when you are going to purchase on-line, you need to use our affiliate hyperlinks. We’ll get a really small kickback that may assist assist this web site.
We’re agency believers that each bike ought to characteristic bottle cage mounts on the underside of its down tube, bar a number of suspended 26ers, the place clearance is tight. It’s a no brainer space for water storage; the middle of gravity is stored low, and there’s hardly ever any interference with terrain or obstacles. Sadly, all too many bikes skimp on such potential for water hauling. Bedrock’s Honaker Hydro Pack turns out to be useful for simply such situations, designed as it’s to carry a 1L Nalgene bottle, through a bag strapped to your bike’s down tube.
The Honaker options with a strip of Velcro sewn in vertically, in addition to an adhesive backed strip for the down tube of the bike. This doesn’t act as assist, however works to maintain the bag from rotating or sliding. There are two fundamental straps that maintain the bag in place; every has a rubberized backing materials the place they make contact, offering a safe anchor level. The spindrift collar is designed to maintain the bottle clear, a pleasant characteristic when using in cattle nation. It was initially designed to suit a regular 700-800ml water bottle, however now has been up to date to suit a bigger Nalgene. We examined it utilizing the Zefal 1L Magnum.
The King Cage Iris is a bit of completely different from most ‘tabbed’ bottle cages. The tabs on the high of most cages are designed to catch the indentation discovered on most pliable bottles. With out this characteristic, the Iris works completely for the smooth-sided Klean Kanteen 27ozor 16ozinsulated water bottles. Whereas not fairly as safe as others, we’ve used the Iris fairly a bit and like it.
When requested what their most popular bottle cage is, 9 out of ten bikepackers will title the King Cage Stainless Metal Cage. It’s a reasonably easy design, however it’s constructed from high quality stainless-steel tubing in Durango, Colorado, and it’s usually bombproof. They’re fairly sturdy, but when they do get knocked and contorted, you’ll be able to merely bend them again into form.
Wolf Tooth Parts partnered with King Cage to create the Morse Cage, an elegantly crafted bottle cage that has a number of mounting choices in lieu of the usual two-hole design. Named for its dot-dash-dot-dash mounting sample, the Morse Cage’s base plate presents 4 positions with 32mm (1.26″) of vertical adjustment, capturing one mounting bolt in each place to lock within the excellent placement. This straightforward sample permits it to slip up or right down to work with different gear. For instance, on the seat tube or down tube, it may be moved downward ever so barely with the intention to higher accommodate a half body pack. We’ve been utilizing the tremendous gentle titanium model for a number of months now and might attest to its sturdiness. It’s an instantaneous traditional. Learn the press launch right here.
The Lezyne Energy Bottle cage is among the finest and most burly cages we’ve used. At simply 66 grams, that’s spectacular. A variety of people say the King Cage is the most effective, however I believe it has competitors. I’ve three of them they usually’ve withstood the trials of two excursions, carried water for over 15,000 kilometers – typically on extremely tough tracks – survived being banged round in and on high of busses and trains, and I’ll confidently bolt them on for the following journey. The very best factor about these cages is the truth that they preserve their comfortable grip. They’re product of outsized hole aluminum tubing for power, and the wrap-around design securely holds bottles over tough terrain. I’ve discovered stainless cages vulnerable to bending and changing into free, which may produce rattling when used with metallic bottles.
You need to use virtually any stem mounted bag to hols a regular water bottle, however Arizona-based Rogue Panda constructed one with round a light-weight bottle cage and made it particularly to hold easy accessibility water with out mounts, in a useful location. We’ve been testing one for months and actually prefer it. Keep tuned for the evaluate.
The Nickless Cage from Salsa is a well-designed and aesthetically pleasing stainless cage. It made this record as a result of it by no means failed, even after many 1000’s of miles. I’d level out that this cage might be higher suited to gravel or dirt-road using over singletrack mountain biking; and higher for plastic bottles than stainless. It bends a bit of, and with a stainless bottle this could get fairly annoying. Nonetheless, it bends again in place and appears invincible. One other perk is that it has two strap slots, which make it the most effective cage on this record for hose clamping to a suspension fork. Some individuals report that the metal used on the Nickless can mark up the bottles, however that’s by no means been a difficulty for me.
When designing the Sicuro, Silca got down to make a tubular titanium bottle cage with strong bottle retention on gravel and different harsh surfaces. In line with Silca, this was an particularly essential issue to scrutinize on the underside of the down tube, a typical bottle placement location whereas touring. We’ve put practically 1,000 miles on certainly one of these cages and might affirm that it does a superb job of securely storing a bottle I used it with a full liter Zefal Magnum bottle and was impressed. Not like a pair flimsier titanium cages we’ve tried, this one retains its form and stays strong. One other good contact is that it comes with two titanium panhead bolts.
I purchased this cage on SJS Cycles together with one other order, sort of a final minute merchandise that I tossed into the buying cart. Surprisingly, it’s confirmed to be among the finest cages I’ve ever owned. It’s barely outsized, so it matches bigger 1.5L plastic bottles. I additionally drilled a 3rd gap in it to be used with a three-pack boss. Gin used it for some time underneath her downtube and I had it mounted to my fork. It’s lasted for 1000’s of miles. I can’t say the identical factor for the little rubber cap holder, however a strap or velcro wrap simply replaces that. I used to be stunned to seek out it nonetheless on the SJS web site and accessible underneath a distinct model on Amazon.
Some people would possibly argue that this cage shouldn’t have made the record. I’ve met a pair individuals who have damaged them, and noticed one which had been welded. By some means, ours held up for numerous miles, and it’s turn into one thing of a touring customary. More often than not, it’s the rubber piece that breaks, and a twine or a number of rubber bands are used to carry the spout of the bottle in place. That stated, if it’s accessible, I’d in all probability choose the SJS cage as a substitute as an alternative, however the Modula has a few perks. It’s inflexible, holds an outsized plastic bottle, and it’s pretty light-weight at 125 grams. Plus, it’s adjustable, which means it may possibly accommodate virtually any bottle you wish to carry.
The hardwearing, stainless-steel Mojave bottle cage is designed to suit a 32ozNalgene bottle, 32 ozinsulated Klean Kanteen, all the way in which as much as a 40ozKlean Kanteen stainless-steel bottle–that are an effective way of avoiding doubtlessly unhealthy plastics. The mounting plate has 5 holes to let you place it in three areas, larger or decrease, to finest suit your body. You may also mount it on to three-pack water bottle boss configurations for added assist. Though a bit of on the heavy facet, we’ve been impressed; there’s no rattle in any respect with a 40ozKlean Kanteen, or any threat of a bottle leaping out when secured with a Voilé strap.
The Widefoot LiterCage holds three.5″ diameter bottles, resembling bigger choices from Nalgene, Hydro Flask, and Klean Kanteen. It contains a distinctive five-hole mounting plate that permits three top settings on customary two-bolt mounting bosses or three-pack bosses. As well as, its slotted plate permits it to be connected utilizing hose clamps or straps. We’ve been utilizing the LiterCage with a 40ozKlean Kanteen, as proven. It really works nice, though we advocate utilizing a Voilé strap to safe it for off-road using. This retains the bottle safe and prevents any rattling.
The 240mm x 110mm CINQ Expedition Cage is designed to hold virtually any 1.5-2.zero liter PET bottle, in addition to different outsized water bottles and kit. Fabricated from stainless-steel, it may possibly purportedly be bent and formed for larger clamping drive relying on the cargo. It additionally contains a versatile gap sample, permitting variable mounting positions. Bottle retention is aided by a two-position rubber strap. We’re trying to check certainly one of these quickly, so keep tuned for a report.
The Free Parable (DOM) Monkii Cage is a common bottle holder product of Polyamide nylon and designed to suit varied bottle diameters. It holds bigger capability bottles with varied shapes as much as 50 oz (1.5 Liter). DOM claims it’s suited to “bumpy and hard roads, mountain biking, bikepacking and journey biking.” The cage consists of two cleats to be used with common bottle bosses.
The Monkii Clip has two spherical cleats that match their Monkii cage, Monkii body bag, or Monkii wedge device bag. It secures through a hinged clamp to any 25mm-38mm tube, resembling body tube, down tube, handlebar stem or fork leg. It has a most Load: 1.5 kg / three.three lb. Equipment consists of one adapter, one M5 25mm screw, one M5 50mm screw, and a rubber shim.
Elite’s L’Eroica Classic Bottle Cage is sort of the retrofit. We’re unsure what number of bikepackers are prepared to forego their cockpit baggage for this large honking bottle cage, however we thought we’d embrace it for the sake of being thorough. The classic clamp-down cage holds any method of latest beverage vessels.
The King Cage Bottle Reducing Cage is almost an identical to the usual King Cage (see the outline of it beneath), however it lowers the bottle about 1.1 inches (2.8mm). This could be helpful for many who want to maneuver a cage away from a half body bag or different gear. Whereas this one’s good, the Wolf Tooth x King Cage Morse Cage has a bit of extra vary, though it prices a bit extra.
An modern diameter adjustment system makes the Topeak Modula II Cage able to holding conventional biking water bottle in addition to smaller bottles, resembling a gas bottle or small plastic PET bottle if area is restricted. It matches bottles from 63 – 74mm (2.5” – 2.9”). We have been a bit of anxious that it could be plasticky and fragile, nonetheless, it appears fairly strong, though we’ve but to place a ton of miles on it.
The 24 ozvinyl-coated stainless-steel Fast Cage is particularly designed to carry reusable stainless-steel bottles such because the Klean Kanteen. In any other case, it holds bottles from 16 ozto 26 oz, together with customary bidons and single-walled, insulated, or plastic bottles. The cage mounts with a single massive velcro strap.
The 40 ozvinyl-coated stainless-steel Fast Cage is designed to carry massive bottles just like the 40 ozKlean Kanteen, a preferred choice amongst bikepackers. It additionally holds different bottles from 32 ozto 40 ozsizes, together with a regular Nalgene. The cage adapter mounts with two massive velcro straps.
The Growler Fast Cage is particularly designed to carry 64 ozstainless-steel bottles. It’s accessible in two sizes, to accommodate both single-walled (64 ozKlean Kanteen) or insulated bottle made by producers resembling Klean Kanteen and Hydro Flask. The cage adapter mounts with two massive velcro straps.
Word that we separated cargo cages from outsized bottle cages on this Gear Index sequence. However as it’s possible you’ll be nicely conscious, a lot of them can be utilized for both hauling gear or bottles. Something Cages work nicely to hold massive klean Kanteens and different such bottles, and we’ve additionally used cages just like the M-Wave to hold a sleeping pad and even a small meals bag. There’s crossover, however for the sake of readability, we stored the 2 separate and devoted this put up to cages designed particularly water vessels. So, ensure to take a look at our full record of cargo cages and baggage right here.
As with different Gear Index lists, there could have been a number of choices we ignored. When you have a bottle cage that you simply’d advocate or an outsized cage that we missed, please depart it within the feedback beneath.

While driving back home from a family wedding in Texas in October, we got a call from an agency we provide temporary pre-adoption fostering for that a baby boy had been born across the state from us. He would need fostering until a court date in a couple of weeks to terminate the parental rights of the non-involved biological father. He was still in NICU and they’d let us know when he was ready for discharge. We hung up to discuss it and almost said, “no.” After all, we just got all relaxed from vacation and I was ready to get back to working on projects. Should we take in a newborn now?
We couldn’t wait… the anticipation is always big around here.
The day after our 9th anniversary, on October 22nd, we got the call that he was ready, so we picked up our son from school and drove to the hospital, arriving at shift change, so we had to wait an hour to see him. I was very impatient. Only Kristin could go in because kids aren’t allowed in NICU, so we waited to see them through one of the many windows.
When we got home just before midnight, we spent a while picking out a fitting name for such a perfect boy with red hair. I thought he looked so intelligent, I started looking up geeky names for boys. We settled on Parker (Peter Parker, to be exact – SWIDT? Petersen. Peter Parker.). He just looked like a Parker to us. This has since become his legal first name for his Medicaid and shots records.
The court date came and it did not go in the agency’s favor because the bio dad appeared, which set a trial date. This meant we got to keep Parker for even longer! As the weeks passed, he has become more and more a part of our family and we were realizing that “goodbye” was going to hurt, and hurt a lot.
Fast forward through the holidays, we’d been waiting to hear word about the trial date so we could emotionally prepare for him to go home to his forever family who had been waiting since we heard of him. Then our world turned upsidedown.
The adoptive family backed out because the bio dad hired a lawyer to contest the trial.
We’d fantasized for many-a-newborn (like a dozen of them) what it would be like to get to keep one, but knew it wasn’t in the cards because each one has a family who has been waiting. I know I’ve put more than my fair share of dreaming of life with Parker growing up with our 6yo. When we heard on Tuesday that there was no more adoptive family, we took the risk and asked if we could be considered, even though we didn’t have an adoptive profile. Holding at 34 foster children since 2012, our foster profile is solid, but this would be our first private agency adoptive profile.
What we didn’t expect was their terms to make it official. They need $10,000 in legal fees by January 13th to continue the case, which is expected to happen in March. If they win the case, then we enter the next phase of adoption fees, but the legal fees are up front and completely at risk and non-refundable, as they go directly to the legal team.
We know the evidence the agency has and their lawyers feel confident enough to continue, so we are all-in. The bummer is that we don’t have $10k just laying around to write a check without putting our household in jeopardy. I’ll work as hard as I can with the next phase and we’ll have garage sales and extra jobs and fundraisers, but this fee is out of our immediate reach.
Right now, we know that if we were to wash our hands of little Parker because of $10,000 we don’t have we would be making absolutely the wrong decision. Yes, we’re scared thinking of the rest of our lives with two boys instead of one, but what family expecting their second child isn’t?
How do you put a price on a life? We can’t seem to do it. He is precious to us as if he were our own blood, just as our other adopted son is. His adoption was free through the state, but Parker is with a private agency, which is where this became a different scenario.
We 100% don’t want money to be the reason Parker doesn’t get to have a smooth life, as well as the trauma on our 6-year-old and us. Money comes and goes, but our love for this little guy was never going to go away. The pain would only dim, but never disappear.
If the case is successful, the only thing remaining is to continue with the adoption fees and have about 6 home visits from their social worker. The initial phase of legal fees does include some unpaid expenses to the biological mother that were never paid, so that is why the goal for Phase 1 is $12,000. Phase 2 has been estimated to cost $25,000, payable after successful trial, and appeal, if there is one.
Would you consider joining in with us to give this sweet, abandoned boy a forever family with the only people he has ever known?

The University of Connecticut is offering so many vegan options for one simple reason: the ever-growing number of compassionate, health-conscious, environmentally friendly students and staff members want them.
Everyone should strive to eat tasty vegan meals. Vegan foods are cholesterol-free and typically low in calories and saturated fat. They also tend to be high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and cancer-fighting phytochemicals. Studies show that vegans are considerably less likely to be obese and suffer from cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses.
And vegans can feel good knowing that their food choices don’t harm animals or degrade the environment. Research shows that vegans are responsible for 2.5 times fewer food-related greenhouse-gas emissions, and the average vegan indirectly consumes nearly 600 gallons of water a day less than the average meat-eater. According to the Institute of Social Ecology in Vienna, the only way to meet the expected global food demand in the year 2050—without sacrificing any forests—is for everyone to go vegan. By eating vegan, you spare countless cows, chickens, pigs, fish and other animals from pain and suffering. It’s estimated that each vegan spares more than 100 animals every year.
Vegans can enjoy a variety of great-tasting foods like curried vegetables, vegan chicken sandwiches, falafel, pad Thai tofu, black bean and corn chili, hummus wraps, veggie burgers, vegan ice cream and much more. Bravo to the university for making it so much easier for everyone to enjoy delicious, nutritious and all-around beneficial vegan options.

James Kammerer�s path to creating the Anointing Gospel Competition started with a visit from an angel.
When Kammerer was a young child, he was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo surgery that ultimately cost him his gall bladder and parts of his small intestine. One night while in his hospital bed, someone visited him.
Kammerer believe his special visitor was an angel and from that moment on, Kammerer said he had a drive to serve God.
In seventh grade, he felt called to be a missionary in Ghana and in 2011 he started taking part in fundraisers for missionaries and mission services affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church. It was at one of these fundraisers, a 24-hour bike-a-thon, that Kammerer said he came up with the idea for a music competition, though Kammerer said he isn�t musically inclined.
The competition includes two rounds, with every contestant singing a song in the first round and a narrowed down field of contestants singing another song in the next round. A third, second and firstplace winner will be chosen after the second round. The field will be narrowed and a winner will be chosen by members of the audience sending a text message to Kammerer via an online service. Voting will be free of charge for those with unlimited text messaging plans for their cell phones. Funds raised at the competition will go to missionaries affiliated with the UnitedPentecostalChurch.
Kammerer said the audience the first competition was small, but the talent was huge. This year Kammerer has been using Christian radio, as well as word of mouth, to promote the competition. With show participants and spectators coming in from places across the state, including Winston-Salem and Greenville, Kammerer said he�s expecting a crowd of about 1,000 to fill the auditorium at Northside High School.
�I feel very honored that they are willing to come out and take part in this contest,� said Kammerer.
Kammerer said one of his primary supporters through the process has been his mother. Kimberly Kammerer said her son�s goal to go to Africa as a missionary is bittersweet, but she�s letting her son decide what to do with his life.
Kimberly Kammerer said her role has been as motivator and �cheerleader� for her son through some of the more difficult times of the process.
�I kept telling him �God will open a door,�� said Kimberly Kammerer.
James Kammerer said that the support of his mother, as well as his father and his uncle, Tony Shaw (the event�s emcee), made this event possible. He hopes that with the talent displayed on the stage that evening starting at 6 p.m. families will be able to enjoy time together and other people will acquire a passion for missionaries as he did when he was a middle school student.
Want to go? The Anointing Gospel Competition will take place at Northside High School at 6 p.m. on June 29. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for children ages six-12 and admission is free for children under the age of five. Funds raised at the competition will go to missionaries affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church.

Yahoo hasn't exactly been doing great in recent years but after numerous troubling financial results and the discovery of an enormous data breach from 2014 that affected 500 million users, it seemed that the US Internet giant will finally catch a break. Namely, Verizon has been on the verge of acquiring Yahoo's core business for $4.8 billion for a few months now but the situation just got a lot more complicated. Not surprisingly, the largest wireless carrier in the country is now looking to renegotiate the terms of its potential purchase, New York Post reports.
The reasons for Verizon's hesitance aren't difficult to grasp. Yahoo's stocks and brand value have been steadily declining ever since the company admitted to the aforementioned data breach and it was only a few days later that it came to light Yahoo was scanning emails of its customers while under orders of either the NSA or the FBI. Sources close to Verizon are now claiming that Tim Armstrong, the CEO of the carrier's subsidiary AOL has recently been pushing for a new round of negotiations with Yahoo amidst all of the brand damage that Yahoo has suffered in recent weeks.
If you're wondering why the CEO of AOL has a say in the matter, it's been widely reported that Verizon has been primarily interested in purchasing Yahoo in order to merge it with AOL and create a new Internet giant which would be competing in the online advertising business. Namely, Verizon and all of the other wireless carriers in the country have been looking into alternative revenue streams for quite a while now and most of them concluded that there's still money to be made in the online advertising business. More information on the deal is expected to follow soon as New York Post reports that Armstrong has already been in Yahoo's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California for a few days now. It's now expected that Armstrong will try to use recent developments and Yahoo's situation in order to strong-arm the company's executives into giving Verizon a significant discount on its core assets. An update is expected in two weeks at most as that's when Yahoo's board is scheduled to officially meet next.

A robust Q&A and content platform for SysAdmins and Developers.
There are over 1 billion websites on the internet, and far fewer System Administrators who configure servers for sites that have complex and varying needs. The DigitalOcean community platform aims to make SysAdmin's lives easier as they begin or continue their journey toward learning system administration skills.
When I started working on the Community, it existed in a rudimentary state — a blog with hundreds of tutorials complimented by a fairly traditional forum. Content was indexed extremely well by Google due to quality, timliness, and the technical accuracy of the tutorials. For instance, if I were to search a very common beginner SysAdmin subject in Google set up password authentication apache, a DigitalOcean tutorial would be in the top three results. This created a reliable influx of traffic to the tune of about 5 million unique visits per month, representing about 90% of all community traffic! The community was less of a destination, and more of a collection of amazing tutorials that Google deemed a top resource.
The challenge became clear: We must continue writing quality content and shift our product into a destination for developers so that they might help and learn from one another. We must build, a community.
we must...shift our product into a destination for developers so that they might help and learn from one another.
By leveraging the community's existing content and readership, we were able to create more than just a resource for SysAdmins, but a rich platform for them to learn and better themselves in their field.
1300+ tutorials written with love by DigitalOcean writers.
Community-generated questions and answers on SysAdmin subjects.
Apps, Wrappers, and other integrations built on top of the DigitalOcean API.
The app's IA is built around these three core buckets of content, as well as the user and tag objects.
Building towards the goal of a creating more of a destination, the thousands of resources the community provides must be easily accessible. So when we have sa plethora of content covering vastly different subjects, what is the best way to locate this content? First, we must understand the user. The majority of users who arrive at the community already have a particular topic in mind. They aren't intereted in exploring a wide array of subjects, but rather in one particular area of focus. Based on this assumption, we wanted to build a powerful search tool that delivers instant and relevant results from the first keystroke.
Using Algolia, we built a super powerful search tool and tested a few different combinations of filtering options, algorithm changes, and metadata integrations. There was some interesting learning, particulary related to tags.
As tags play a vital role in classifying resources, we tested their usefulness as a part of the search UI. We found that users were not utilizing tags within the search tool and prefered to search using free-form writing. While tags are still a very important part of the search algorithm and tutorial metadata, users prefer to surface content via search bar versus traversing a heierchy tree of many tags. If users search nginx on centos 7, it immediately returns the exact content they need. If a user is looking for the newest or trending content, filtering options are available.
The core of the DigitalOcean Community lies with tutorial content and the reading experience. As the majority of content-consumers come from Google search results, the reading experience must be optimized for quick and easy consumption. Users are presented with a distraction free, easy to follow tutorial with tools such as tables of contents and multi-lingual translations.
The tutorial UI is optimized for reading and building. Because the nature of the content is so technical, common behavior is for readers to toggle back and forth between the tutorial and a programming environment. As a result, much focus needed to be placed on the display of code. Code examples needed to be informative in how they were displayed, therefore editorial control had to be extremely flexible (more on that later).
Throughout the community lives a very special icon - the heart. The heart action is used to show appreciation to other community users for their contributions. While hearts do not have a 1:1 correlation with popularity or caliber, they are a fairly accurate indicator of quality content.
Unlike the DigitalOcean blog, which uses the Disqus Commenting Platform, we wanted to roll out our own commenting system that provided a much richer suite of functionality. Since commenting is the core form of user interaction within the community, we wanted to adopt UX patterns that were fairly known as a foundation, and extend it with useful features for the technical publisher.
We required unlimited threading for conversations at any thread depth, the presence of social profiles accessible through user avatars, very concise actions (heart, reply, report), and a clear design. There had to be enough whitespace to meet the DO aesthetic, but not so much that it rendered a 100+ comment thread unreadable. Comments also needed to be optimized for code display, so rich Wysiwyg editorial control was essential.
The real magic lies in the Wysiwyg. A well-made rich text editor (also known as Wysiwyg) is absolutely critical in effective content publishing. After reviewing all of the open source tools out there, we decided to roll out our own, in what I condiser to be the single most useful component in the app.
While the DigitalOcean community offers curated tutorial content, we wanted to build a feature that allowed users to ask free-form questions to the rest of the community, similar to that of Stack Overflow (or specifically, ServerVault). Since the release of this feature, over 12,000 questions have been asked; the vast majority have been answered.
As a user, you may have read a tutorial and are left with certain questions, or you may have a question related to system administration. The ask a question flow is extremely simple - a user types in their question using the same Wysiwyg that powers comments, with more advanced controls like h1-h3 headers. After submission, it is run through our spam filter to protect against bots. If it passes, it publishes immediately for community engagement.
Questions are formatted with the question on top and a series of answers below. There are three objects that form a Q&A discussion - the question, the answer(s), and comment(s). A user can comment on a question or an answer, or they can simply provide a direct answer to the question. This is similar to that of Stack Overflow, but unlike Stack Overflow, the initiator of the question is not able to mark a single answer as 'correct'.
Our belief is simple: There are often multiple correct answers, each with vastly different solutions. Instead of allowing only one 'correct' answer, we want to allow the entire community to 'heart' answers in order to form an appreciation-based ordering of solutions.
Tutorials, questions and answers all provide knowledge and the inspiration to build. The projects section showcases tools that users have built on top of the DigitalOcean API. Split between services, API wrappers, apps, and other integrations, all of the projects reflect the strength of the community. Our users are learning from the informative content and building rich integrations.
On the projects page, users can learn more about the project and hold a discussion with one another about project usage or ask technical questions.
So what does it mean to be a registered user of the community? A registered user not only allows you to interact with and create content, but also enables you to manage your content, profile, and preferences. You can subscribe to topics of interest and control your flow of notifications.
A profile contains information and content relating to the user. Profiles are public, and serve as a user's social identity within the community. If I were to visit a user's profile, I could learn about their interests, view external social accounts or projects, and see their contributions to the DigitalOcean Community. As the owner of a profile, I can use it to manage my questions, answers, comments, projects, etc.
By creating content (comment, question, answer, project) the user is automatically subscribed to all replies (be it a answer or comment).
Clicking the subscribe button provides instant subscription.
As a very active user, recieving notifications on subscribed content can sometimes be a nuisance. Users need utlimate control over their flow of notifications or they feel a loss of control and will likely leave. The Community offers a fairly robust set of controls to change the frequency and type of notifications.
Outside of notification settings, users can manage all of the content they are subscribed to in one easy place for quick changes to subscriptions.
After settings and subscriptions are set, a user manages the notifications through the "alerts" dropdown. Notifications are considered ‘acknowledged’ if they are viewed by the user. If a user has many notifications in the dropdown, they are ‘acknowledged’ as soon as they are visible in the dropdown viewport. The background color fades from blue to white, affording the acknowledgement.

I have been back in Australia for exactly a week. I’m very excited to be back for the second semester. I arrived on the 4th of March and even though it’s no longer summer it was very hot! I was picked up from the airport by a friend and after making sure I had all my stuff with me, we made our way to the Geelong campus. First stop, the accommodation office, where I checked in and picked up my keys. Second stop, my new room. I decided to live back on campus again because it is a great way to socialise and meet new people but above everything else, it’s efficient. My lecture/seminar rooms are just a 3min walk away, just as is the library and pretty much anything else. There’s a bus stop not too far away which is ideal for taking the bus into town or even going grocery shopping. The Waurn Ponds shopping center is just a 10min walk away but if the weather is bad then taking the bus is your next best option.
With that being said, March has been very hot (so far) that we were even able to go to the beach on Thursday. I hope it starts to cool down soon because I haven’t brought as many summer clothes with me and I’ll definitely need to buy some if it doesn’t.

I just had the opportunity to purchase a 1997 rm250 for $2300 and was wondering if that's a good price for one ?
if it was perfect, as in showroom quality i'd think 1500 max.
I dunno where you're located but a 99 is listed here for 1500. Hasn't sold. I'd say both are worth 900-1100 here. Market conditions local to you typically affects the price. In the northern hemisphere it's coming up on fall and to some that means no riding soon so it's considered "end" of riding season so it's a buyers market typically.
People are dumb. The bike retailed around 4500 new. $2300 would of been a fair selling price in 2000. Unless the bike is in museum quality shape, I would pass. For not much more you can find a YZ that's almost identical to the current model.

The SmartScreen filter built into Windows 8 and 10 blocks dangerous programs, files, and websites from running. It also warns you before you run an application it doesn’t recognize as safe.
SmartScreen is a useful security feature that protects your PC, but it may occasionally warn you before you run a legitimate application if SmartScreen hasn’t seen it before. This feature does report some information to Microsoft so it can function.
At the operating system level, SmartScreen functions by sending information about every application you download and run to Microsoft’s servers. If the application is something legitimate and fairly popular, like Google Chrome or Apple iTunes, Windows will allow it to run. If it’s something Microsoft knows is harmful, Windows will prevent it from running.
If the application is something SmartScreen isn’t familiar with, you’ll see warning message saying that Windows prevented an unrecognized app from starting. You can choose to bypass this message at your own risk, if you’re confident the application is safe.
This operating system level protection works no matter where the application or file comes from. So, if you download an application in Google Chrome, Google’s Safe Browsing service will check if the application is safe. Then, when you try to run it, Windows SmartScreen will check if the application is safe. If that’s all good, Windows Defender or whatever other antivirus you have installed will check whether the application is dangerous. SmartScreen is just another layer of protection.
On Windows 10, SmartScreen also blocks malicious websites and downloads in Microsoft Edge and Windows Store apps, just as the Google Safe Browsing service blocks access to dangerous websites in Chrome and Firefox.
If SmartScreen knows an application you download is dangerous, it will refuse to run it and tell you the application was blocked because it is dangerous.
However, SmartScreen will also prevent unknown applications from running. If you try to run an application SmartScreen doesn’t recognize, you’ll see a message saying “Windows protected your PC” and inform you that running the application could put your PC at risk.
SmartScreen may be unfamiliar with the application because it’s a new and exotic malware program, or it may just be because it’s a niche program few people use. If you’re confident the program you want to use is safe, you can click the “More info” link in this popup and then click “Run anyway” to bypass the SmartScreen warning.
SmartScreen has to talk to MIcrosoft’s servers to check whether the applications you download are safe or not. Microsoft lists all the information SmartScreen sends here. When you download an application, Windows sends the download URL, a hash of the full application file, digital signature information, file size, hosting IP address, and “some additional data” to the application reputation service. The service then responds and tells SmartScreen whether the file is known-good, known-bad, or unknown.
RELATED: Is Microsoft Edge Really Safer than Chrome or Firefox?
When you visit a website in Microsoft Edge, Windows checks the address against a downloaded list of high-traffic, popular web addresses stored on your PC. If it matches, Windows doesn’t check it any further. If the address doesn’t appear in the list, Windows sends the address to the URL reputation service. The service then responds and tells SmartScreen whether the website is known to be dangerous or not. If it is, Microsoft Edge displays a warning message. This is similar to how the Google Safe Browsing service works in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
At the end of the day, SmartScreen is a security feature, so we recommend keeping it around.
Many people, however, will want to disable SmartScreen. Again: we don’t recommend doing so, as it’s a helpful additional layer of security that can protect your PC. SmartScreen still allows you to run unknown applications — it just takes two additional clicks. And, if SmartScreen blocks something, it’s almost guaranteed to be a malicious program you shouldn’t run.
However, you can disable SmartScreen if you want to. On Windows 10’s Creators Update, you’ll find SmartScreen options at Windows Defender Security Center > App & browser control. On Windows 8, you’ll find these options at Control Panel > System and Security > Action Center > Security > Windows SmartScreen.

The Worst Thing About England Is Not the Weather. It's the Plumbing.
The tell-tale sign of a leaking shower. Or possibly a murder took place there.
People who know me know that when I'm not griping about the weather, I'm complaining about the plumbing. And right now, the weather is gorgeous, and my plumbing, well, my plumbing is in disarray.
It started in February, right after we returned from Italy and noticed a stain on the living room ceiling that could only mean one thing: the shower was leaking again. The three showers in this house have continually leaked, one after another, for various reasons. The living room ceiling has been patched twice after it was cut through to get to the drain from below.
I told the estate agent, Frost, who handles the property for the landlord. (Our old property manager had just retired, leaving two new employees in the office, who clearly weren't on top of their game.) And then I waited for a plumber to call. Meanwhile, the downstairs toilet stopped up. The toilet had been installed last January, and had never worked properly. I called again, waited some more, and finally someone was sent to look at both.
I didn't hear anything for a couple of weeks, so I called the property manager, using my American voice (Angry New Yorker version), to find out when the shower and toilet would be fixed. I was told a new toilet needed to be put in and a drain specialist was required to look at the shower. But meanwhile they needed approval from the landlord.
Again, I waited, and finally called after a week or two to see what was up.
"Someone was supposed to call you," I was told, "to set up appointments to fix everything." Once again, a plumber was called out to "look at" the problem. By now it's April, and the water softener has started to leak.
Another plumber (Number Two, we'll call him) came, poked around, and left. I have yet to hear anything from him. Then the drain specialist (aka Number Three) came to look at the shower. But now I've diagnosed the problem myself: the shower tray has a ten inch crack in it. Apparently this escaped the notice of the other two plumbers.
He popped it open, after first erecting a safety barrier, and discovered it was filled with muck. He flushed it out with the garden hose, and my toilet, which had been inoperable for weeks, suddenly worked again. Apparently neither of the plumbers who'd been by before had thought to look in there.
Score one point for Number Three.
That's when the Plumbing Gods really decided to stick it to me. When I went to wipe down the bathroom, in anticipation of Number Three coming to look again at the shower, what did I discover but another leak, this time from the toilet, which was already cracked in exactly the same way the downstairs toilet had been previously. Water was pooling on the floor, water that was soon mixed with my tears as I wiped it up, knowing I would have to call the property manager again.
Number Three, the drain specialist, returns for another look at what must be the most befuddling plumbing problem in Buckinghamshire, and then I get another call from Frost: they're sending someone else, this time a decorator named Number Four. (For you Yanks, a "decorator" in BritSpeak is someone who paints, wallpapers, and puts in tile. They usually show up in paint spattered coveralls.) The decorator came by, I showed him all my broken plumbing things, and he promised he'd do something. Anything. He seemed like a real can-do chap, plus he made funny jokes. And then while he was inspecting the living room ceiling he saw a copy of my book What Am I Doing Here, in which I complain a lot about weather and other oddities of British life, such as the deplorable plumbing.
He seemed impressed that I'd written a book, so I gave him a copy. Partly this was a bribe, since I am not above bribing repairmen at this stage, and partly, I figured it was a good idea if he knew I'd write scathingly about him if he didn't fix my shower.
Because I am not above threats either.
But then my tale took a rather dramatic turn.
That night Number Three called, wondering why he'd been cut out of the job. I played dumb; I'm really good at that. Then he asked where my husband worked, and if my dog bites*. I was frightened enough to tell everyone on Facebook just in case I turned up dead. And to give my friends who write murder mysteries a new plot idea: In the shower, with a wrench, by the plumber.
Since then I've had almost daily phone calls and visits from Funny Number Four, who's been trying to arrange for someone to come install a new toilet, or possibly he's just attempting to cheer me up. Thursday I waited all afternoon, but the promised plumber (who'd have been known then as Number Five) never showed up.
Later, I heard a loud truck outside, which set off my vicious dog, of course. It was Number Four, the decorator. He wanted to leave the new toilet he'd bought in my garage, which is where it is now. But he had some good news: He'd contacted the plumber I'd been asking for all along, the one who replaced my boiler last year. Number Five, as he'll now be known affectionately, was on holiday, but promised to be here on Tuesday at 4 pm to fix my toilet.
I think I'm going to lock him in there and have him fix the shower while he's in captivity.
Meanwhile, someone is coming in the morning to turn off the water softener, since apparently no one wants to actually fix it. Fine with me; they're not my pipes.
To recap, this catastrophic plumbing failure started in mid-February with a leaking shower, progressed shortly thereafter with a stopped up toilet, then a broken water softener, then another cracked toilet. I'm still waiting for three of those four to be fixed. The biscuits are no longer on offer.
But the good news is, I now have a title for my next book. It will be called The Ins and Outs of British Plumbing: An American Perspective.
A friend also suggested I call it "Toilet In Vain," seeking to find the humor in the situation. Honestly, I wish I could laugh at all this. But it seems my sense of humor has sprung a leak. Maybe it's hard to be funny when you can't remember which of your toilets works and the sound of dripping water sends a cold shiver of fear down your spine.
Not to mention possibly homicidal drain specialists.
*Note that, in the interest of brevity, I may have conflated one or two characters and combined their comments. But if anyone asks, yes, my dog DOES bite. I'll make sure of it.

Person who lives in an institutional collective dwelling, such as a hospital, a nursing home or a jail. This includes residents under care or custody and employee residents and family members living with them, if any.
Institutional collective dwellings are general and speciality hospitals, chronic care and long-term care hospitals, nursing homes, group homes or institutions for the physically handicapped and treatment centres, group homes for children and youth, group homes or institutions for people with psychiatric disorders or developmental disabilities, federal correctional institutions, provincial and territorial custodial facilities, young offenders' facilities, jails and police lock-up facilities, shelters for persons lacking a fixed address, shelters for abused women and their children and other shelters and lodging with assistance services.
In the 2001 and 2006 censuses, tabulations for the non-institutional population excluded all residents of institutional collective dwellings, both resident under care or custody and resident employees and family members living with them. In the 1996, 1991, 1986 and 1981 censuses, resident employees and their families were included in data for the non-institutional population.
In 1981, the term 'Inmates' was used.
In 2011 and 2006, institutional residents exclude people living in seniors' residences.

Although we are experienced park and recreation professionals and are able to identify many recreation needs in our communities, citizen input will assist in prioritizing these needs. Reaching out to community citizens is time consuming, yet it is critical to recognize that public money is being spent to build facilities or offer recreation programs. Just as private industry keeps in contact with what their customers want or need, public agencies need to make time for public involvement. Public input combined with professional knowledge and expertise in guiding that input, will provide results to meet expressed needs.
Through public involvement we create an avenue for two-way communication between your agency and people served, as well as a method to end speculation about needs and determine what is wanted.
Encourage public participation in the planning process by demonstrating to citizens that they have a voice and are representatives of how local funds are spent. With a voice in the process citizens may become active supporters of your project, helping you meet your goals.
Plan early – Don’t ask for citizen input after you have your building or park design ready to construct.
Inform public of the process, plans and goals.
Ensure that everyone in your community has an equal opportunity for participation in surveys, public meetings, etc.
Understand stakeholders the community that should assist in facilitating the planning.
Determine whether participants are representative of the community you serve.
Use multiple input techniques to assure representation in process to achieve well rounded results.
The Citizen Participation Matrix shows the function that each type of technique is better in performing. You can see that use of multiple techniques for public input allows for better representation of community needs and offers more opportunities to provide public input during the process.

The trial was running since June 2015 and was predicted by Goldman Sachs in Aug 2017 to return sales of around $12 billion, once developed. As early as August 2018, Innoplexus AG, a global AI leader in Drug Discovery and Development, was able to predict this trial failure based on publicly available data.

A reputable service provider is what you need and if possible, have your garage door checked from time to time so as to avoid a costly garage door repair service.
An overhead garage door is one of the largest moving equipment in homes and families use them more compared to their front doors. Because you need to ensure that your garage door and operator are working properly all year round, you should at least have them checked once a year by a garage door repair specialist. If your operator or door is making strange noises, the noise and sounds are initial warnings and they indicate that something is not right with your system.

The expected life of torsion springs, even ones that are of the highest quality, is around 10,000 cycles. One cycle is considered one opening and closing of your garage door. Springs endure tremendous force every time you open and close your garage door. Over time, the steel springs will crack and break. When they do, they usually release stored energy in one go and create a huge bang or loud noise. Most accidents happen during the spring replacement of a garage door repair in Leeds so let the professionals handle the task themselves.
