Our story starts in the pristine turquoise waters of New Zealand’s Marlborough Sounds. We began with a boat and a small marine farm, sustainably growing and harvesting the endemic green-lipped mussel for the health benefits our Maori ancestors had known about for generations. Our mission is simple: to harness maximum nutrition from the purest ingredients.
NUTREATS provides high quality, natural, well-researched nutritional products, sourced right here in New Zealand. We want to make a significant contribution to the health of pets through our carefully developed range of functional treats, feed supplements and grooming products. We would not market a product, even a bestseller, if we were not convinced that it was beneficial to health. What’s more, all our product is sourced from free-range farms, so animal welfare is paramount throughout our supply chain.
Our range of treats and supplements are produced using the most appropriate extraction and processing techniques, to ensure the raw, natural ingredients retain all their potency to provide maximum health benefits. In the case of our treats for example, that just means freeze-drying and popping them into a resealable bag. We take a responsible and ethical approach to production and distribution, continually researching and innovating to ensure we are able to offer the highest quality, most effective products.
Product samples are available to potential distributors. Please just ask one of our friendly team.
Our dedicated New Zealand-based customer care team is available every day. Just send us an email, and we’ll get right back to you.
We can arrange worldwide shipping and help with Customs clearance.
We believe that strong relationships are at the heart of every successful business, and as such, we consider it one of our strengths that we know all our suppliers personally. From the sustainably grown mussels of the pristine Marlborough Sounds, to the free-range venison farms in Southland, we can trace every shipment right through to delivery. Every product is chosen carefully, harvested gently and processed minimally. They are then packaged for optimum freshness, ensuring the contents are protected and retains all their pure goodness until the day you use them.
All ingredients, packaging and finished products are fully traceable.
We screen for foreign materials to ensure there is nothing unwanted in our products.
A full ‘Hazard and Critical Control Points’ plan (HACCP) has been implemented to control food safety and quality issues.
We have dedicated areas of the plant, where temperature and air quality are controlled, for both the processing and packaging. Hourly quality control checks are in place.
Regular in-house and accredited third-party lab testing is conducted on all our products.
A rigorous approval procedure is followed for all existing and new suppliers.

Questions have risen from many economists about the sustainability of long-term growth. Many highlight the difficulty for nations to transition from an unsustainable custom manufacturing-based economy to a services and consumption based one (as seen in more developed countries like the USA). This custom manufacturing-based economy is, in all likelihood, what you are most aware of in relation to China.
The country heavily relies on its exports which is a big part of their economy. The rise of e-commerce also helps them a lot given consumers around the globe can have better access of Chinese products at the lowest price possible never seen before in time as Chinese citizens now source products to sell online.
Meanwhile, China’s leaders aim to shift the economy from a reliance on investment and exports for growth to one where consumption and markets play a bigger role. As a result, the government began promoting new policies, including a stimulating domestic demand, lowering the price of oil, enacting energy-pricing reforms, improving welfare coverage and privatizing firms. All of these developments are in place to help China sustain long-term growth.
Many countries around the world have been feeling the strain put upon them over the last few years. The majority are still recovering from major crisis’s such as the 2007 financial collapse or the Eurozone crisis seen in the tail end of 2009 and onwards. However, with recovery coming to fruition many are starting to have a net positive impact upon the world GDP. Despite this, it is still China who are contributing the majority towards the growth rate.
China is expected to once again contribute 1.2% or more to the global GDP growth for 2018. Some may think 1.2% is a small number, it must be taken into context. The total growth rate that has been predicted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for this year is 3.1%. This means that China is contributing a sizable 38.7% to the growth rate. With so many powerhouse economies existing around the world it is surprising that China is contributing more than their fair share.
There are several reasons why this could be the case. Previously mentioned was the fact that many countries have struggled due to the economic climate both domestically and internationally. The US for example has the largest economy, but with a growth rate of 2.3% for 2017, their impact on the overall global GDP rate is a mere 0.3%. When directly compared to China this is around 4 times less.
Other reasons also include the fact that China is a large economy that continues to grow at a fast speed. Therefore, it only makes sense that a major fast-growing economy would have such an impact. This can also be seen in the example of India, currently 7th when countries are ranked in nominal GDP. However, when ranked in terms of purchasing-power-parity then the country would be ranked 3rd. For India, their expected growth rate is above China at 7.4%, and contributes 0.6% to the global GDP growth. While this figure is considerably lower than China’s, it still punches above its weight when compared next to the shoulders of others.
Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia Ltd who is considered to be an expert on economic matters said, “China remains the world’s major growth engine.” He also went on to say for continued global economic growth the result would be “heavily dependent” on China, considering the transitioning economy being seen within the nation. Roach also believes that if this transition is successful then many other major economies will benefit as China rises up through the ranks as trading partners.
It may have become an annoyingly common discussion point, but it is just as important than ever. China’s changing economy has powerful potential that can drive global growth and help fuel and shape the future. In a sluggish economic environment China continues to shine the brightest, and while many concerns have started to be aired about the long-term sustainability of this scenario, for now, it looks likely to continue.
Does the Continuous Growth of China’s GDP Calls for Concern?
Despite this continuous level of growth, there has been significant pressure on the economy. Certain sectors are seeing declining levels of growth in terms of investment, particularly infrastructure and contract manufacturing which saw a drop to its lowest rate since the turn of the millennium. However, it is still growing, at a rate of 9%, and while the trend appears to be concerning the warning sirens won’t be going off for a long time yet.
Continuous GDP growth should not be one that will concern the Chinese government, as the trend would have been predicted due to the changing economy model. The rise of China has been due to being able to offer cheap custom manufacturing exports across the world, a model that is not sustainable over the long term. However, with rising levels of disposable income across citizens, the nation looks to increase reliance on services as well as goods consumption. Therefore, because this transition is moving away from contract manufacturing, it should be expected that investment in the contract manufacturing industry will decrease.
Further evidence that supports this is the trends seen within the clothing manufacturing industry in China. Retail and wholesale clothing sales were up a significant more or less 10.5% this year when compared with the previous year, exceeding the predicted 10% increase. The services industry as a whole accounted for almost 60% contribution to the country’s GDP with the manufacturing industry falling to as low as 30%. This only means the services industry is underlining its importance to China’s economy in general.
Despite the transitioning phase on to the services and consumption-based economy, the custom manufacturing industry continues to hold solid ground even if other number shows a decline in term of investors. A reversal of the previous contraction seen in the Purchasing Managers index (PMI) has continued.
The Purchasing Managers index is a useful tool which gives an overview of the general health of the contract manufacturing industry. Data is derived from a survey sent out to companies and encompasses five major indicators such as: inventory levels, production lead time, new orders, employment environment and supplier selection/deliveries. As with most statistics, it is not necessarily always the most accurate representation of the current environment. However, many values the index and the results are used to make key decisions within many companies.
The figure of 50.2 for November of 2018 still represents growth as the index uses 50 as the mark for remaining the same. Anything below is a contraction, whereas all figures above shows a rise. Alternative measures also support the latest results, with their own measurements coming in at 50.1 or 50.2. All numbers above the 50 mark and even though it is up a small decimal, it still represents progress.
The consistent above-50 PMI mark speculates on a possible stabilization of the contract manufacturing industry. Particularly in areas like production and demand. Furthermore, news from the non-manufacturing sub-index also suggests there is a growing confidence throughout the country.
A link can also be made between the custom manufacturing industry and the government’s investment. Many local governments are continuing to invest into infrastructure and the budget priorities has never been this high on infrastructure.
Other experts believe that while this news is positive, there is a problem of short sightedness within the government. While the short-term boost is welcome, economists are concerned with high levels of corporate date and excess capacity levels.
On the other hand, industrial profits have performed better now including export, industrial design production and import figures are all exceeding expectations.
Education in China has always been held in high regard. Schooling is compulsory for children, and the country provides a suitable framework to ensure students are able to reach the minimum criteria deemed necessary. Currently the Ministry of Education estimates that around 99.7% of the entire population has achieved the nine-year basic standard. However, due to China only recently seeing growth resulting in strides towards becoming a first world country, the nation still has further to go in terms of education.
Higher education refers to students who continue to study past the compulsory age. This usually means going to university or a college but may include trade schools and other similar professional paths. This area is also seeing consistent growth, much like the nation’s economy. Many government officials recognize the link between professional graduates and economic growth, and this has resulted in more students than ever continuing higher education, as well as more universities being founded also.
In 2010, over 30,000 students were studying for a PhD, a number almost 3 times higher than the United Kingdom. Positive statistics such as this are owing to the education reforms implemented within China starting around the early 90’s.
Education has come a significantly long way. In 1990, the countries Growth Enrollment Ratio was only at 3-4%. However, in modern times, this number is hovering around 30%, and looks to continue further.
Economic commentators have gone so far as to suggest that education may be China’s “hidden weapon”. The importance of education ingrained within Chinese culture means parents are willing to invest heavily into private schools, seeing the cost as an investment into their child’s future.
The trends occurring within the Chinese education sector will effectively result in more professional and skilled workers. These enhanced skill sets should enable the country to grow faster and have citizens able to tackle the new jobs that a changing economy brings. Furthermore, China is attracting increasing numbers of international students to the country, which also helps fuel economic growth.
Lessons can be learned from the situation Mexico found itself in the middle of in the late 80’s. The country saw rising income levels and hoped to have more skilled jobs to offer citizens. However, due to the education system being lackluster, there simply was not enough in the labor pool to maintain the level of growth being seen. If China follows a similar path, they can expect lean manufacturing companies to move to cheaper Asian competitors, as well as foreign investment to become less frequent.
South Korea can show China the other side of the coin. The 70’s and 80’s saw the country riddled with sweatshops and citizens working in low-skilled contract manufacturing jobs. But, with a committed government, these citizens slowly transformed into a highly skilled and educated workforce, one that was soon demanded by high paying employers.
The custom manufacturing industry has already stabilized. Even though we can expect it to drop off a little due to the growing services industry, this should not pose as a threat to China’s transition. The educational sector is also doing its part suggesting China has come a long way in terms of growth. However, there is still much further to go.
Rural areas in particular are still not quite reaching the aspired levels. With the current level of growth, the pressure is much more significant to produce the workforce China needs. However, it does appear the country is willing to invest significant funds to ensure results are produced, with current GDP expenditure being roughly 4% or somewhere around that number.
Pressure is not only felt by China but by the global economy, in general. While improvements have been seen since the recession, the general feeling is that there is still a lot to work on. China has been an emerging economy throughout this whole time, outshining all other countries, resulting in significant focus being placed upon the nation’s economy. This achievement has been surprising considering the nation has seen declining growth levels but they are still in a strong position with an actively involved government who are aware of the issues at hand, but furthermore aware of the importance of carefully managing the future.
All signs are pointing towards a stabilizing economy, but the long-term stability of the country is still being questioned. Key issues like excess capacity issues are not being addressed hard enough and increasing levels of debt continue to make some experts concerned. Overall though, for now, all positive news is welcome, and if the trend continues, the economy may start gaining more momentum as it looks to get back on track.

Question 1 : What is a lookup table in database? where can we use these type of table?
Answer 1 : Lookup tables are like constraints which hold a value. The content in the lookup tables dosen't change often, hence refered as lookup (reference). Example : Countries table Countries are not added on regular bases hence one can consider the table as a lookup table. As and when needed in some other table the countries information can be fetched base on PK - Country-Code column. Eg - Emp_Per_Info.
Question 2 : What is SQL Injection?
Answer 2 : "An attack technique used to exploit web sites by altering backend SQL statements through manipulating application input." SQL Injection happens when a developer accepts user input that is directly placed into a SQL Statement and doesn't properly filter out dangerous characters. This can allow an attacker to not only steal data from your database, but also modify and delete it. Certain SQL Servers such as Microsoft SQL Server contain Stored and Extended Procedures (database server functions). If an attacker can obtain access to these Procedures it may be possible to compromise the entire machine. Attackers commonly insert single qoutes into a URL's query string, or into a forms input field to test for SQL Injection. If an attacker receives an error message like the one below there is a good chance that the application is vulnerable to SQL Injection.
Question 3 : What is Blind SQL Injection?
Answer 3 : When an attacker executes SQL Injection attacks sometimes the server responds with error messages from the database server complaining that the SQL Query's syntax is incorrect. Blind SQL injection is identical to normal SQL Injection except that when an attacker attempts to exploit an application rather then getting a useful error message they get a generic page specified by the developer instead. This makes exploiting a potential SQL Injection attack more difficult but not impossible. An attacker can still steal data by asking a series of True and False questions through sql statements.
Question 4 : What does the term unnormalized relation refer to? How did the normal forms develop historically from first normal form up to Boyc-Codd normal form?
Answer 4 : Unnormalized relation will contain update,insert,deletion anamolies. 1nf will remove repeating colums. 2nf will remove subsets of data. In 2nf every non-key attribute should depend on entire primary key In 3nf, all columns should depend directly upon primary key and transitive dependency should be removed(a->b b->c c->a). In 4nf, multivalued dependancy should be removed. In BCNF, every determinant should be a candidate key.
Question 5 : What do you mean by DATAMART & DATAWAREHOUSE & what is the difference betwen two?
Answer 5 : A data warehouse in an Enterprise reporting solution. It will typically hold all historical data for the company for all time. A datamart is a smaller version of the data warehouse. It's going to hold a year or two's worth of information, and may not hold all the tables in the data warehouse. While the data warehouse is for the enterprise, a datamart is typically for a departments use.
Question 6 : What is a Relational DBMS?
Question 7 : How to send email alert when aotomatic failover occurs in in Sql-Server 2005. I mirrored my database using High Safety with Automatic Failover option?
Answer 7 : Setup a job on each server which contains code to send you an email. Setup an alert on the SQL Agent which monitors for event Id 1480. When the event fires have it run the job.
Question 8 : What is RDBMS?
Answer 8 : Relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as introduced by E. F. Codd. Most popular commercial and open source databases currently in use are based on the relational model. A short definition of an RDBMS may be a DBMS in which data is stored in the form of tables and the relationship among the data is also stored in the form of tables.
Question 9 : Codd's 12 rules?
Question 10 : What is the Difference between DBMS and RDBMS?
Answer 10 : A DBMS has to be persistent, that is it should be accessible when the program created the data ceases to exist or even the application that created the data restarted. A DBMS also has to provide some uniform methods independent of a specific application for accessing the information that is stored. RDBMS is a Relational Data Base Management System Relational DBMS. This adds the additional condition that the system supports a tabular structure for the data, with enforced relationships between the tables. This excludes the databases that don't support a tabular structure or don't enforce relationships between tables. Many DBA's think that RDBMS is a Client Server Database system but thats not the case with RDBMS. Yes you can say DBMS does not impose any constraints or security with regard to data manipulation it is user or the programmer responsibility to ensure the ACID PROPERTY of the database whereas the rdbms is more with this regard bcz rdbms difine the integrity constraint for the purpose of holding ACID PROPERTY.

Is Commission Junction a Scam Or Best Affiliate Network?
If you are looking for an honest review about Commission Junction, then you are at the right place.
We will appreciate you reading through the review before actually joining it. Because this review will give you all necessary details you need to know before joining it.
Ever since then I’ve had my taste of good and bad on affiliate marketing, the bad side of it was when the affiliate company I was working for disappeared.
Please read our Commission Junction review to make a perfect decision.
What Is Commission Junction All About?
The company is an online advertising company managed by ValueClick and within the affiliate marketing industry.
It is one of the oldest and most widely used affiliate network available on the Internet today.
Currently, it is one of the largest affiliate networks in America and operating globally.
In addition, out of the top 500 retailers using third-party affiliate marketing software, about sixty-five percent is controlled by Commission Junction.
Based on this research, I hope this post will be able to show you how Commission Junction operates and what will you likely experience as a merchant or an affiliate working with them.
Registration is free to get started with Commission Junction. However, before you sign up you should have an optimized your website, get in some traffic, some knowledge about the stats of traffic, and your details of the target audience.
See The Screenshot Of Publisher Requirement Below.
After your application has approved, they will be assigned you with an affiliate marketing manager to help you conduct successful marketing campaign and advise you when things go wrong.
Note: Your affiliate marketing manager is just for your live campaigns to help you, not to train you on in the affiliate marketing business.
Pay Per Lead– Email Marketing/Lead Generation.This is related to acquiring prospects name or email address to create a list of customers. Most networks will pay you an average $ 1 – $5 per lead, but Commission Junction offers you an average $15 and sometimes above per sign up.
Pay Per Call– Telemarketing/Lead Generation. This is a way of using a smartphone to generate leads. It can be as simple as adding a mobile number field to sign up form using 2D barcodes.
Pay Per Sale– Commission fee on a per sale. This is the most popular and this can be considered the core to the success of Commission Junction.
For the merchant, you need to meet some requirements to be in their networks.
First, you have to pay the upfront fee just to get into the network. Merchants can be paying as much as $ 5000 USD just for an initiation fee.
For merchant approval, an existing $50,000 monthly gross sales revenues are part of the requirement.
See The Screenshot Of Merchant Below.
Typically, most networks charge average 7% in processing fee, but with Commission Junction, the merchant can be paying as high as 30% for a transaction fee. This is a very high cost for vendors.
Numerous Offers to Pick from– Apart from having a lot of merchants, Commission junction also provides you with a lot of offers. Apart from the normal Pay-Per-Lead, you can have a Pay-Per-Sale deal, or Pay-Per-Call offers the type of offers.
Established Merchants and Transparent Mode of operation – A lot of merchants on commission junction are more established which brings about the transparent mode of operation. Commission Junction has a particular green bar and 7days/3 month EPC (Earning per 1,000 Clicks) which gives you the idea of how you are performing within the Commission Junction network. This is really helpful because we are more encouraged who really cares about the performance of their affiliates.
A Lot of Affiliate Banners– Most of the merchant has a lot of banners and various marketing material hosted by Commission Junction. Most of the banners have the same thing displayed on them.
Personal Products Links–Products can be linked directly, but it does not apply to all of the merchants. You make more affiliate sells when your products are linked directly. This enables us to know the products that are doing well.
Centralized Forms of Payments– Commission Junction pay the commission themselves, not the merchants. This signifies that your earning are predictable and safe.
Process involved in Advertisement – Unlike other sites where you are free to promote various affiliate packages you desire, in Commission Junction, you have to apply to the individual merchant for confirmation.
Temporary Advertiser Deactivation – Because of various bidding between merchant and Commission Junction, you may frequently get deactivation notifications. You get mad at them sometimes when you know that one of your advertisers was deactivated. This means you no longer get a commission from such advertisers.
An outdated form of Conversion Tracking – Commission Junction way of tracks are out of date. Although they make available API for third-party tracking and reporting integration, it will do affiliate a lot good if more details are provided to them.
Link Encryption and Protection – Commission Junction offers the option to completely hide your link which cause affiliate identity to be hidden and which make hijacking easier.
Limited Payment Option– Through my research, I discovered that this company does not have one method of payment, and I prefer PayPal for programs like this because I can request a refund.
They close Accounts– Commission Junction has closed many inactive accounts.
Should You Join Commission Junction?
If you are completely new with how affiliate marketing operates, then Commission Junction would be a perfect example of how most affiliate marketing companies in the industries operate.
Registering as a publisher is totally free and automatic without much disapproval.
As we have discussed above that Commission Junction has been around for some years and has been a good source of earning.
They also have their own share of downsides.
Final Thought: Is Commission Junction A Scam?
Commission Junction takes down accounts and some of their affiliate claims they steal commissions.
But I don’t think Commission Junction has any bad intentions toward their various affiliates.
The low or no response to their customer care service has been reported to frustrate some affiliates in the past.
I think it will be a good move if Commission Junction could hire people that will help them clear various.
There’s is a whole other world of affiliate marketing program out there so don’t limit yourself to only Commission Junction.
There’s also a dedicated Internet Marketing Training Program to teach you how to succeed in the Internet marketing industry.

Is Online Task Pay A Scam?- Important Review Facts!
Thanks for sharing this excellent review of Commission Junction. They are a great source for affiliate offers. I like them for the variety of offers available, as well as the ease of navigation through their website.
The only is that they assigned you with an affiliate manager, but the affiliate manager is not for teaching you affiliate business.

First run, post weekend of drinking was nice. Not the leaden footed, curried eyeballs, dry throat horror I’d been expecting. Mind, I had had Sunday, Monday and most of Tuesday to recover but I was still prepared for the worst.
The paths were dusty and dry and the sun was perfect. Warm but with a gentle breeze. If I hadn’t been out for a run it would have been perfect beer garden weather.
Listening to my footfalls on the path and feeling the warmth of the sun on my back was lovely. The birds were singing and a dog was barking in the distance and the smell was of barbecues and the yellow rapeseed in the fields.
I’ll be back inside at my computer working tomorrow.
But I’ll be dreaming of footpaths and sunshine.

Small-scale farmers use farmers markets as incubators for new enterprises and gain real-time feedback on new crops and varieties.
Even small community markets are champions of farmland preservation and farm viability; Georgia’s Lilburn Farmers Market gives 10 farmers an opportunity to grow produce on 500 acres of farmland.
Eighty percent of farmers market vendors in Iowa, New York, and California said that farmers markets offer them a greater opportunity for business development than any other possible marketing outlet.
The seven Seattle farmers markets hosted by the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance support 9,491 acres of farmland in diversified production.
From 1992 to 2007, 21% of mid-sized farms in the U.S. stopped operations.
There are 5 times as many U.S. farmers over the age of 65 compared to those under 35. Farmers markets provide one of the only low-barrier entry points for new farmers, allowing them to start small as they learn and test the market.
The number of farmers markets operating in winter months increased by 52% between 2011 and 2012. The 1,864 markets open in the winter provide an extended opportunity for farmers to do business.
“If it weren’t for the rise of farmers markets, a lot of these small farms would simply not exist.” Rebecca Landis, market director for the Corvallis-Albany Farmers’ Markets.

“Be kind absouloutly to everyone!” was the message greeting me in the mudroom at my sister-in-law’s home in Missouri over the holiday break, on a hand-made sign created by my five-year-old grand-niece.
The words gave me pause to consider my guiding tenets as I begin my new job as president of Growth & Justice. As the Minnesota policy world knows and as our website declares, we are a 15-year-old research and advocacy organization that seeks a more inclusive prosperity for Minnesota, through innovative public policy proposals based on independent research and civic engagement. We believe when Minnesota makes smart investments in practical progressive solutions, it leads to broader prosperity for all.
This persistent push for equity – emphasizing that social justice and greater shareholding by all is actually good for sustainable business growth – really drives the work of Growth & Justice. And reflecting on my grand-niece’s wise words, it occurred to me that there truly are unbreakable links between basic kindness and equity and growth and justice. These words all involve sharing our abundance, an important belief to re-embrace, especially when too many laws and policies coming from Washington D.C. emphasize scarcity and selfishness and fear of our neighbors.
Be kind absolutely to everyone.
I reflected on what had transpired over the past turbulent year, when kindness and empathy diminished in national policy-making, and as democracy’s guiding moral pillars quake in the chaos.
Colleagues, friends, relatives, and political pundits from the left, center and right have all pointed to the irresponsibility (and the lack of kindness and equity) of the recently passed federal tax bill, especially in light of an economy that’s already enormously lucrative for those at the top. An equitable, responsible tax bill would have built on the economic gains we’ve made in recent years, to close gaps and plant seeds for the future. It would have encouraged more investments in all the ways our democracy can create more abundance and share it: through investments in human capital and physical infrastructure, such as affordable health care, education, roads, bridges, broadband, clean water – the things that give a healthy return on that investment. In addition to staggering new debt and worsening inequality, the federal tax bill also actually reduces many incentives for non-profit, charitable giving, and increasing economic opportunity through community action.
Deeper down, however, the way the tax bill came together and passed was the ultimate act of irresponsibility in a year of massive assaults on our democracy. That is perhaps the most worrisome characteristic of our political system today, because it means policy is no longer created by We the People. It is policy by fiat, decrees by the few without enough public input. We have an allegedly representative government as our Constitution sets out, but a slim majority of those elected representatives voted against the clear, overwhelming wishes of a majority of their constituents, to benefit a handful of ultra billionaire donors at the top of the economic heap.
I’m old enough to remember that this “voodoo’’ economic policy (a term coined by former Republican President George H.W. Bush, and who later in his career famously called for a “kinder, gentler nation”) ultimately breaks those promises and worsens economic conditions. The voodoo attempted by President Reagan a generation ago almost tripled the national debt, weakened the middle-class and flipped the United States from being the world's largest creditor nation to the world's largest debtor in less than eight years.
It is in this fraught environment that I begin 2018 as the President of Growth & Justice. I take over from Dane Smith, who after 10 years at the helm, will continue as Senior Fellow in his transition to semi-retirement. I’m thankful for this, as together we make a formidable team. We’re both former journalists trained to get to the bottom of the story, and to shine the light on policy that is “kind absolutely to everyone,” to build an economy that is fairer and more prosperous across the board.
I come to Growth & Justice with a 35-year career in community, economic, and rural development behind me. I’ve worked in every sector and started a business, too. I just completed a three-year stint as the broadband grants administrator for the Minnesota Office of Broadband Development. There I had the honor of working with public and private sector partners to build out over 100 Border-to-Border Broadband grant projects constructing advanced fiber, cable, and fixed wireless to thousands of households and businesses, and to hundreds of community institutions across unserved and underserved areas of Minnesota.
Border-to-Border Broadband construction, much like rural telephony and rural electrification 85 years ago, is one of the finest examples of equity, and yes, kindness, on today’s policy stage. It invests money from our common pot and kindly shares the wealth of the Twin Cities to equalize opportunity between urban and rural regions of the state. It’s the old-fashioned Minnesota Way, a rural-urban socio-economic contract championed by Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in the Minnesota Legislature. It’s been supported by a non-partisan state broadband task force, by the Governor and Lt. Governor (now a United States Senator), and guided by a small office of dedicated public servants, motivated by an indomitable “We Can Do It” spirit, aided by thousands of local broadband providers and local citizens and businesses.
Broadband supporters see universal statewide access as the right thing to do – the kind and just thing to do -- to bring universal equity of opportunity and rural-urban interconnectedness across our state for the good of all. And it is so very good for business, competitiveness and free enterprise. In recent months as the first- and second-round grant projects finished and advanced broadband was “turned on” for the first time in homes and businesses, I witnessed first-hand a distinct upsurge of entrepreneurial energy. It’s always been there, but is now clearly amplified by robust connections to markets, to education, to health care and to government services in ways not possible just a year ago. My hope is that the recent overturn of “Net Neutrality’’ principles by the Federal Communications Commission will not snuff out this bright light of ingenuity and innovation.
Minnesota’s broadband policy exemplifies the “One Minnesota” concept also being championed by Growth & Justice and our partners across all policy areas. Yes, we are a state of diverse regions with diverse economic drivers and cultural frames, diverse towns and neighborhoods, and diverse races and people. AND, no matter where we call home, we know we must care about each other, listen to each other, and look out for each other because we are also one gigantic family, one community, One Minnesota. We are interdependent economically and socially whether we know it or not. Instinctively, and sometimes intentionally, we understand that by helping one another through local acts of kindness and equity and statewide progressive policy, we have each other’s backs. That is how we survive and thrive in this seemingly cold, inhospitable northern clime. That is the Minnesota Way. Our hearts and minds and hands work together to keep our homes and enterprises warm and welcoming to all.
A recent visit to the Someday Isle microenterprise hub the in Isle-Wahkon area of Minnesota, on the southern shore of Lake Mille Lacs where my family farm is located, got me thinking about the realities on the ground. It’s here and in similar co-working sites such as those in St. Paul and Minneapolis that you see inspiring grassroots efforts to create a sustainable and just economy at the local level.
What if state policy, in contrast to the federal tax bill, was focused in coming years on holistic local community development and local microenterprise? What if our state policy and Minnesota tax bills supported more public/private investments in broadband infrastructure and digital literacy? What if state policy was a catalyst to invest in lifelong learning and affordable universal health care? What if state policy was “Kind Absolutely to Everyone?” What if instead of tax giveaways and hand-outs to the wealthy, we concentrated on a fair hand-up to anyone seeking the opportunity to help their families, help their communities, and help start and strengthen businesses, across all economic and social strata?
In 2018 and beyond, these questions will guide our research and story-telling, toward building and supporting coalitions, that lead to policy development, that help create a more prosperous and progressive Minnesota, a state that continues to live up to its reputation for fairness. At Growth & Justice, the goal is clear, and our journey will be guided in part by the wisdom of a precocious five-year-old: Be kind absolutely to everyone!

In my recent review of my first month experience with Sips by™, I made my feelings about the variety of tea available at your average grocer very clear. In short, the usual selection is paltry and lacking. However, in my efforts to find decent tea, I did pick up a box of something from my local grocer that sounded promising; Sweet & Spicy by Good Earth Tea Co.
The packaging asks buyers “is there anything better than when opposites attract?” Well, the answer is a resounding “sometimes.” There are most certainly some combinations out there that one should leave to the odd cravings so commonly associated with pregnancy, but in this case, they were right. Fresh out of the box, Sweet & Spicy lives up to its name; it greets you with a spicy cinnamon aroma with hints of citrus. Did you ever make orange pomander balls in school? The scent of this tea steeping instantly brought me back to elementary school holiday projects.
Well, it tastes pretty much exactly how it smells! The first flavor that hits you is the spicy kick of cinnamon. Orange, ginger and peppermint overtones blend beautifully with the spice to give it a sweet, smooth aftertaste. Good Earth states that their teas can be enjoyed hot or cold, and I’d tend to agree, though I do prefer this one hot. Unfortunately, this was the only variety from Good Earth available from my local grocer, but if their other varieties are anything like Sweet & Spicy, they’re well worthwhile.

One surprising trend that will be around for this summer is the large chunky jeweled earrings that were popular as clip-ons in the 1950s. However the 2013 versions are more likely to be available for pierced ears. Costume jewelry is enjoying a real renaissance with even the lightest of summer dresses being augmented by large rhinestone necklaces and aurora borealis crystals.
To be a fashion piece it is crucial that the jewels be big and bright. It is also very fashionable to wear costume jeweler that clashes slightly with your clothing. For instance if you are wearing a forest green top it is nice to contrast it with large chunky aqua earrings.
In Paris the look is to wear a boy’s baseball cap with very huge dangling earrings that look like a daisy. Caps with vinyl brims are paired with a cameo, surrounded by fake pearls dangling from a large crystal in the ear. The effect of this is very fifties but also very eighties at the same time.
It is also very hip to take elegant clusters of rhinestone jewelry and wear them denim, khaki or more casual outfits. Think about clusters of rhinestones that are unusual color, such as pale yellow or pale pink to really make the look seem unusual.
If you do not want to look too sparkly then you can try wearing the new fabric style earrings. You can find these on etsy and other places. These are discs covered in fabric such as houndstooth, chevrons or in op art patterns that you can wear as earrings. In the old days they also would have been clip-on earrings but nowadays are likely worn as piercings. It is also very fashionable to make earrings to match what you are wearing. All this requires is some glue, bases and earring clips or posts and a bit of the fabric from what you are wearing. For instance if you are wearing a houndstooth suit you can also sport button earring with a houndstooth pattern on your ears.
Whether you like the crystals or the fabric button styles of earrings you can find wonderful items on the auction sites or at vintage stores. You can also find the big plastic discs made out of pearlized plastics that people also use to wear in the sixties and the early seventies.
In the 1950s these beautiful crystal pieces of jewelry and big button earrings were usually only worn in the evening. Now these statement pieces can be worn any time of year.

Global automotive stakeholders play a strong role in improving fuel efficiency and enhancing performance, which advanced transmission technologies can provide. This research service provides an in-depth analysis of the global market for high-speed (8-, 9- and 10-speed) transmissions, focusing primarily on AT and DCT. It discusses the technology and market drivers/challenges, unit shipment forecasts, market share analysis, competitive landscape, forecasts by OEM/region/vehicle segment, and provides scenario analysis and OEM/supplier profiles and key conclusions up to 2020.
Global market for high-speed transmissions expected to grow to X– million units by 2020.
• Globally, high-speed transmissions (high-speed stepped automatic transmissions [ATs] and dual-clutch transmissions [DCTs]) are expected to account forX– % of the overall transmissions by 2020 from X– % in 2012. This is likely to account for X– million high-speed transmission vehicles annually in 2020. North America and China are expected to be the most attractive high-speed transmission markets by 2020.
• Globally, 8-speed ATs are expected to dominate the market, with a share of X– % in 2020. The 9-speed ATs are expected to follow, with a close X % share. High-speed DCTs are expected to account for X– % of the high-speed transmission market, accounting for X– million units by 2020.
• Globally, General Motors is expected to lead the market in terms of unit shipments by 2020, followed by Toyota and Ford. These OEMs are expected to account for X– % of the high-speed transmission market by 2020.
• High-speed transmissions are expected to be a key offering by all premium OEMs, including BMW, Daimler, Audi, Lexus, JLR and Volvo. BMW and Daimler are expected to lead, among these OEMs, with a share of X– % in the total high-speed transmission market by 2020.
• North America is expected to be the largest market for high-speed transmissions, accounting for X– million units annually by 2020. By 2020, X– % of the transmission market is expected to be high speed.
• 9-speed ATs are expected to account for most of the market share in North America, at X– % by 2020. This is primarily due to the adoption of 9-speed ATs by high-volume original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for their forward-wheel drive (FWD) vehicle applications. North America is also expected to have the highest volumes for 10-speed AT transmissions globally, due to the expected uptake of these on rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles and the pick-up segment such as the F-150 and RAM 1500.
• The 'Big 3', namely, General Motors, Ford and Fiat-Chrysler, are expected to lead the market towards 2020, with sales of over 1 million each. These OEMs are expected to account for a combined share of about X% of the high-speed transmission market in North America by 2020.
• Europe is expected to have a total high-speed market of X– million by 2020. The high-speed DCT segment is expected to be the largest globally, at about X units by 2020. High-speed transmissions are expected to have a penetration of X– % by 2020 in the overall European transmission market.
• By 2020, 8- and 9-speed ATs are expected to be equally paced, although 9-speed ATs are likely to have some advantage, atX– %. This is primarily due to the adoption of high-speed transmission technology by premium OEMs including Daimler, JLR and BMW, which together account for about X% of the 9-speed ATs in Europe.
• Premium OEMs, including BMW, Daimler and Audi, are expected to account for the majority market share by 2020. BMW and Daimler are projected to account for X– %.
• China is expected to become the second-largest market for high-speed transmissions, and account for about X– million units by 2020, with a penetration of X– % in its overall transmission market by 2020.
• A competitive AT market share in Japan is expected to augment the growth of high-speed transmissions in the market to over X units by 2020, and account for a penetration of X– %.
• The 8-speed ATs are expected to be the dominant high-speed transmission technology by 2020 in China (X– % share in the high-speed transmission market) and Japan (X– %). In China, this is because of the adoption of 8-speeds ATs by premium OEMs, whereas in Japan it is due to Toyota's dominance and the adoption of the 8-speed FWD and RWD Aisin transmission.
• The positive adoption of DCTs in China is expected to augment the growth of the high-speed DCT segment to about X by 2020.
• Globally, from the perspective of tier-1 suppliers as opposed to in-house manufacturing, ZF and Aisin are expected to lead the market by 2020. Aisin is expected to be the market leader in Japan, whereas ZF will probably lead in all other markets. OverX% market share is expected to be held by these suppliers.
• A number of OEMs, including Hyundai, Daimler, Ford and GM, are focusing on in-house high-speed transmission manufacturing. This is because it is considered a core competence and a key pillar of the engine and overall powertrain strategy.
What is the future scope for the high-speed transmission market globally? Which regions will adopt the technology and which will look to other transmissions to meet customer demands? Are high-speed transmissions a growing market?
What will be the most dominant high-speed transmission technology in 2020 and why? Will the 8-, 9- or 10- speeds ATs or high-speed DCTs be more dominant. Why, and what challenges do these technologies face?
Which key OEMs and suppliers are likely to lead? What are the expected advancements in this market? Does it follow a global strategy or a region-specific one? What are the key market forecasts for unit shipment?
What are the key trends that promote the uptake of high-speed transmissions? What are suppliers innovating within the market space? Which of them will lead in each region, and why? What is the industry's opinion about the cost-benefit analysis and the market view about the limited number of gears in transmissions?
What is the likely technology roadmap towards the medium and long terms for high-speed transmissions? Does the market provide opportunities for OEMs and suppliers to innovate in their quest to reduce emissions, increase fuel economy, and meet market demands? What are the these opportunities?

The chemical industry is one of the Germany’s major economic branches and has a significant share in the country’s total exports. Chemical products figure in almost 90 percent of our everyday commodities.
Innovative and patentable ideas relating to chemistry or chemicals may emerge in areas like organic, inorganic, analytical or technical chemistry, chemical engineering or electrochemistry and may in turn give rise to new biologically degradable plastics, catalysts, lubricants, fertilisers, coating materials, adhesives, photochemical products, biosensors, organic solar cells, electrochemical products, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics, to name but a few. Novel processes, too, may be born of inventive ideas and prove patentable, such as methods for the manufacturing of products of the above-mentioned type, or chemical and physicochemical processes for soil, air or water purification, methods for biogas processing or biomass utilisation, techniques in the field of analytical chemistry, and other chemical working techniques.
The formal procedures which patent applications relating to the chemical field have to undergo at the German Patent and Trademark Office or the European Patent Office are no different from the procedures which govern applications relating to other technical areas. The only difference may lie in specific legal provisions applying to patent applications in biochemistry that are aimed at micro-organisms or a peptide or nucleic acid sequence.

I have always enjoyed visiting our nation’s capital and have explored it with our young children and sans wheelchair a few times over the years. Canberra’s political and cultural history, the planned beauty of the city and suburbs, the symmetrical town planning of buildings and spires and gardens is enjoyably unique .
We chose the East Hotel nicely located in the Manuka Shopping Precinct through recommendation and proximity to the central city location. Of course everything’s close to Civic in Canberra.
The East Hotel boasts what I consider to be definitively the BEST Italian restaurant outside the old boot shaped peninsula herself. Agostini’s was so good and so well priced we dined there for each of our four nights stay. The place was always busy and serves locals dining in and taking away as well as those of us who are visiting. The service was efficient, friendly and professional . Access is super easy as it is located on the ground floor just off the foyer and through a wide walkway. I can’t rate it highly enough.
Breakfast was equally as impressive as we mixed with a heavy patronage of locals ordering takeaway coffees, enjoying business meetings over deliciousness or selecting their latest novel from the Muse Book Shop. The vibe of Muse is one of laid back coolness with contemporary varied and healthy options of many dishes. The restaurant is licenced and open til late. Although not accessible by the front door there is a platform lift from inside the foyer of the East Hotel that takes you to the Muse level with a standard width heavy push door to enter into the restaurant.
East Hotel boasts a book shop, Chapter one, with new and used books on offer in a relaxed contemplative setting with beautiful floor rugs and low hum of voices it’s a cosy place to be. It’s very Canberra and I mean that in the most affectionate and literary sense.
This contemporary and progressive hotel includes their Luxe Easy Access room description including some measurements on their website. What joy. We booked in person but the online booking process looks to be pretty simple and they have a very responsive live chat function. Of course there is the option of a good old fashioned phone call.
Parking is underground parking which is easy to access. However the height limit is 1.9m which didn’t suit our Kia with attached storage pod. We were not only able to park in the 5 minute parking strip at the front of the hotel but were happily surprised to see that a thoughtful staff member had placed a pole behind our rear entry van to enable me to have uninterrupted entry.
The Hotel has a wide open foyer with a lower reception desk at the end of the traditionally high counter top. The lifts are highly responsive and quite spacious to access the 140 rooms; 4 of these rooms are their Luxe Easy Access Rooms. This is a great number compared to some other hotels.
The Luxe Easy Access Room has a door opening of 90cm and has no electronic push button auto opening. The capacious entry into the kitchenette part is 140cmW x 290cmL and includes a welcome Nespresso machine, cooktop, microwave and 84cm bench height although it is not roll under. There is a roll under bench in the living area and a table.
The bed has 145cm and 245cm clearance from each side and room underneath for a roll under hoist.
It is lovey to have a balcony but the entry onto the balcony is through a 60cm sliding door and over tracks. This could be achieved in my manual chair with a push and a tilt but not my power chair at all.
The roll in shower bathroom is 225cm x 270cm and door cavity is 93cm with a handy sliding door.
Toilet height is 45cm. Sink depth to wall is 45cm. 63cm clearance from under the sink to floor and nother 31cm from under sink to top of it.
In case you haven’t picked up on it yet I loved the East Hotel.
We took both manual and power wheelchairs, stand hoist and shower commode. We had plenty of room to store them all including easy height power point’s in convenient locations to charge the power chair.

This week in Breakdown, I want to take a look at the unique situation we have this year with Ryan Villopoto and Ken Roczen. Last fall, Roczen announced that he was joining up with the renowned trainer Aldon Baker, which meant he would be working side-by-side with Ryan Villopoto. This surprised a lot of people. Many consider Roczen to be in the next group of championship contenders and Villopoto was taking a gamble by letting that kind of talent enter his inner circle. Villopoto explained the move by saying he needed someone to push him to the next level during the week. Also, racing at the highest levels is very serious and RV felt that Roczen's lighthearted attitude could help keep things fun. Ryan is a very confident individual and deep down I don't think he believed Kenny would challenge him right away, anyhow.
After eight rounds, Kenny and Ryan have to be considered the favorites for this title. Ryan leads by only nine points, with nine rounds remaining. This title really is up for grabs.
Since the checkered flag flew at Anaheim 1, the same question keeps getting asked: Did Villopoto make a mistake by allowing Kenny to join the program? Kenny proved that he was ready for the big time and showed up at round two with the red plate. I don't think this worried Villopoto, however, because a 17-round series usually presents many highs and lows. Experience usually wins out in long championships and RV has that in spades to go along with his three titles in a row. But, so far, the rookie hasn’t made many mistakes.
So if Roczen continues to stay strong, will that feeling change? That’s now the big question on everyone's minds. Can these two keep the status quo? Can two riders battling for the most prestigious championship in the off-road motorcycle world also train, ride and spend downtime together? With dreams and ambitions, not to mention millions of dollars at stake, these two will be practicing every day side by side. They have been put in a position to constantly judge each other’s psyche, look for weaknesses and find edges to exploit. It’s a situation that I don't think we’ve ever seen at this level of the sport. It’s usually just too difficult to keep egos and jealousy contained enough to be viable. If these two remain close in the points, I am very intrigued to see if this dynamic will evolve.
As the pressure mounts and both see the end nearing, can cooler heads prevail? And don’t forget, as soon as Monster Energy Supercross ends, a new journey begins for 12 rounds of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. It would be an incredible display of respect and professionalism if they can make it work.
Another question I have been asking myself: Who would Villopoto rather battle for this title? Would he rather duel weekly with someone he trains with, or would he rather battle someone like Ryan Dungey or James Stewart? These two riders are not involved in his inner circle so he doesn’t know as much about their daily preparation, strengths and weaknesses. This also works in the other direction in that Roczen knows the in's and out's of RV's program. Roczen has the advantage of knowing if RV is feeling down or has a nagging injury, or is struggling with bike setup or any other issues. Riders like Stewart and Dungey would be in the dark on details like that. It's an interesting question that I really can't answer, but love to consider.
At the halfway point, no one is shocked that Villopoto has the red plate. Many might be surprised that he has only won two races thus far, though. Even more would be surprised that his biggest threat to a fourth title would be his training partner and a rookie. With Chad Reed out due to injury, James Stewart handing over a ton of points last weekend, Justin Barcia's struggles and Ryan Dungey's DNF at Anaheim 3, Roczen and Villopoto might be left to settle this between themselves.
On Saturdays, we get to see them lay it on the line for the points and glory, but everyday during the week for the next two-and-a-half months they will be having a silent battle for confidence. Most riders engage in a "cold war" on the weekends. They don't speak to each other and they don't acknowledge each other, they basically just let their riding do the talking. For RV and KRoc, that’s not possible. On every bicycle ride, in every 20 lap moto, on every sprint, in every rowing session, they will be silently watching each other and taking mental notes. They will then show up on Saturday and the outcome will be real … And we will all be watching.

In January of this year, we treated 13-year-old Isabella from Leeds, a keen runner and rugby player who had been experiencing back pains.
Back in 2016, a friend of Isabella's mum whose own daughter had scoliosis suggested that Isabella might have a curved spine as well. This friend instructed Isabella to bend forward and touch her toes, and she was able to identify the signs of scoliosis (this is called the Adams forward bending test).
Isabella had an X-ray and an MRI scan, which confirmed that she did indeed have idiopathic scoliosis. The scans revealed that Isabella had an 'S'-shaped curve with a Cobb angle of 30° at the top of her spine and 15° at the base of her spine. At this point, Isabella was given two options: wear a brace, or have surgery. She didn’t want to do either of these things, and so she and her family started looking for alternative treatments online. That’s how she came across the Scoliosis SOS Clinic.
Isabella completed a 4-week course with Scoliosis SOS. She initially thought that it would be hard work, but found that the corrective stretches and exercises got easier as she went along. Isabella met lots of people at our clinic who could relate to her condition and helped her learn a lot about her own spine. When we asked Isabella if she was still experiencing pain after playing sports following her Scoliosis SOS treatment, she said that "the pain has gone now" – an amazing result!

Ronalee Carey Law - Canadian Immigration Lawyer - How old where you when you left your parents’ home?
I was 19. I left to live in university residence, returning home for holidays and the summer break. I wasn’t living completely independently until I moved to Ottawa in 1993 to go to law school.
According to the nationwide Canada statistical survey done in 2011, almost 60% of young adults aged 20 to 24 live at home with their parents. This figure has increased over the last few decades – in the 1980’s only about 40% of young adults lived at home.
Despite this statistical reality, the Canadian government decreased the age of a “dependent child” as of August 1st. Previously, individuals applying to immigrate to Canada could include their children up to age 22, and even older than 22 if they were still in school.
Now, the cut-off is age 18. The only exception is for children who are reliant on their parents because of a physical or mental disability.
This new age definition applies to all aspects of immigration law - temporary residence, permanent residence and to refugees.
Why did the government make this change? Money. Their research showed that the younger you are when you arrive in Canada, the more money you make over your lifetime.
But money isn’t everything. Canada’s immigration law states that one of the goals of its immigration program is to “see that families are reunited in Canada.” But parents can do very little to help their children over age 18 come to Canada. Instead, their children must apply to come to Canada on their own. For example, under the Federal Skilled Worker program, adult children will get five extra “points” for having a family member in Canada. This will only assist a limited number of individuals.
Those who work with refugees also point out that separating adult children from their parents is a contravention of the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. The United Nations “recommends governments to take the necessary measures for the protection of the refugee’s family, especially with a view to ensuring that the unity of the refugee’s family is maintained particularly in cases where the head of the family has fulfilled the necessary conditions for admission to a particular country.” Separation of adult dependent children from the family application can be seen as a direct assault on this principle of family unity.
Other critics have pointed out that this change will disproportionately affect young women, especially those from societies where they are expected to live in the family home until marriage. Their parents will have to choose whether to accept an opportunity to immigrate to Canada, and leaving their daughter at home, or forego the opportunity until their daughter is settled into her own household.
This is just bad marketing. Canada wants to attract the best immigrants. Restricting the immigration of young adults, because they may not make as much money as younger immigrants, is short sighted. We need to look at what Canada gains from the family as a whole, including the contributions of the parents and younger siblings. Excluding some families because they have older dependent children can only work to Canada’s disadvantage in the long term.

But I found myself asking, how does this fit into a family-discipleship model? And how does this give us a chance to equip and encourage our children?
1. Make sure you are developing intergenerational relationships within the church. Hopefully, your church has structured things so that young families will rub shoulders with the older generations. At the very least, if you sit in the same place at worship, connect and “adopt” a few families that sit close to you. Train your children to interact with the older generations. Don’t excuse your children from this by saying they are shy.
2. If a death strikes that older family, consider bringing appropriately aged children along to the visitation or funeral service. Going to the funeral home is a sacrifice. But that is what brothers and sisters do for each other. It will help model and train our children in love toward others who aren’t like them – older folks. It will be one small step out of their self-centeredness. And it will give us a chance to talk about death and heaven. Of course, this assumes that your children’s behavior will be a blessing to those around them. Sharon and I did not feel compelled to bring our children all the time, but there were several occasions we felt that it was appropriate for them to go and pay their respects.
3. After the death, ask yourself how your family can minister to the widow in a sensitive manner. Depending on the age of your children, it might be appropriate to offer to do some household chores or even just visit. As this woman instructed us, “Don’t say, ‘Call me if you need anything.’ Rather say, ‘I would like to come over and help. I want you to give me something to do.'” She suggested connecting once a month for six months.
James 1:27 tells us that Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world. When we are looking after the widow and teaching our children to do the same, we are pleasing the Lord.
I am not suggesting we become busybodies taking on all the problems of the world. But over the course of our family life, we can and should be able to identify a few older people we can minister to. They will be richer for it. We and our children will be richer for it. And more importantly, God will be glorified in a church where love across the generations is on display.

Every person yearns to be motivated when living their life. This is a factor needed for a task to be performed and completed successfully and also to continue with the job even after running out of time. So that people can work well in a company, they need to have high levels of motivation. However, there are instances when the organization workers will lose interest from work or may start losing motivation towards the job they do.
There are several reasons that employees will lose their levels of inspiration. Some of these reasons are very hard to identify. Most of the work related activities during this period will face a severe downturn. The owners of businesses and managers will try everything possible to make the workforce get on the right track. Certain employers and managers will make sure that they emerge successful in motivating workers whereas others will not succeed. And therefore, in this time, they will search for third parties who will help them rebuild the level of inspiration of their employees.
Those people who are ready and willing to handle issues of reconstruction of people’s inspiration levels are known as motivational speakers. These speakers are not ordinary people. They are highly experienced in the field and will know to do so that motivation levels and inspiration are brought into the minds or hearts of employees. These professionals play a significant role in the various industries and areas of the globe. They take an active part of being a colleague, friend, adviser a manager, a teacher and a motivator, among other suchlike roles. They make sure that no person is de-motivated.
Thee experts serve the role of offing guidance to the people whose lives have been crammed up by different circumstances. Their speech will comprise of many examples of most famous world icons. They will help in showcasing how a person fought through life and became successful in the long run and achieved their goals. These speakers will ascertain that the listeners stick to what they say and that they act as stated. The speech is expressed well to be appropriately decoded using mind games, and motivational videos and audios. Besides this, they will also ensure that they conduct questionnaire session to check the competency levels among the different groups of people.
The job of motivational speakers is an intricate one and not as simple as you may think. They must make sure that every person in the group plays an active role in the group’s discussions. If you need help in a particular part of your life, seek the right support from experienced motivational speakers.

Why one New Yorker transformed newspaper racks into homes for food scraps.
Have you heard? Print is dead. What is not dead, however, is fresh dirt. Wriggling with microorganisms from the foodstuffs that came before, soil created from compost is dark, rich, and productive—the urban farmers’ dream.
The former New York Daily News graphic designer Debbie Ullman has been excited about composting for about nine years now. She decided to use her designing chops to get other New Yorkers pumped about the process, as well.
A new study shows that the slimy creatures battle climate change. Here’s how to help.
Ullman turned to newspaper boxes. You know, those things on your corner that you haven’t opened up in years. “Newspapers are familiar to me, print is sort of dying, newspapers are old news— pun intended—[so] what can we with [the boxes]?” Ullman says.
The three boxes have been placed around New York City—one in East Harlem, one on the Lower East Side, and the last on Governor’s Island. The shops and community gardens that play host to the boxes have promised to maintain them, and residents can drop off their food scraps whenever they like. The resulting compost will be used in local gardens and urban agriculture centers.
New York City is piloting its own compost program, but the service is only available in some places. The New York Compost could help communities fill in the gaps, and make sure that the compost collected there is used in the neighborhood, and not shipped elsewhere.
In the meantime, it looks like the New York Compost is blending in quite nicely. As Ullman took one of her boxes around the city for a photoshoot, she decided to place one next to a subway. Distracted for a moment, she looked back to see a man using her box to balance his coffee and bagel. Ah, New York.

To enhance national HIV program sustainability, MSH works with governments and civil society to ensure greater country ownership of HIV programs and greater local technical and financial management of national HIV activities.
In Nigeria, MSH strengthened the country’s public, private, and community sectors to deliver sustainable HIV and AIDS and TB services at 41 treatment centers in five states. We supported health care workers to take ownership of and deliver quality services by integrating HIV services with other health services provided. Through MSH support, Kwara became the first state in Nigeria to budget for taking over services previously funded by the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
In Panama, we worked with the ministry of health and stakeholders to assess the long-term costs and benefits of implementing test and treat. The “test and treat” recommendation, issued by the World Health Organization in 2015, expands ART eligibility to all people living with HIV, regardless of CD4 count, and recommends universal lifelong treatment. We provided key evidence to reduce potential HIV transmission and the number of new infections and conducted policy and financial analyses for anticipating costs, benefits, and returns of early initiation of ART. As a result, Panama made the decision to fully implement and budget for ART.
