Emiliano Sala was described as a "manager's type of player," by Cardiff boss Neil Warnock, after the Argentine striker's combination of work ethic and finishing skills had earned him a club-record move to the Premier League.
Twelve goals in 19 appearances for French Ligue 1 side Nantes this season had convinced Cardiff to spend £18m on the 28-year-old in January, and Sala was eagerly looking forward to the challenge.
However, Sala tragically never got a chance to perform in the Premier League - the plane which was carrying him and pilot David Ibbotson back to the Welsh city disappeared on Monday, January 21.
The wreckage was later found off the coast of Guernsey and police announced on Thursday night that a body which had been recovered from the plane had been formally identified as Sala.
Sala is hard working, he works his socks off for the team. He's a manager's type of player.
Born in Argentina, Sala, who is a native of Santa Fe, began his career as a youth player at Club Proyecto Crecer, before heading to France in 2010 where he would make his name as a powerful frontman.
The 6ft 2in striker first signed for Bordeaux at 20 and made his senior debut for the club in February 2012, coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 Coupe de France round-of-16 defeat away at Lyon.
However, he failed to make more than a handful of appearances for Bordeaux and, following loan spells at lower-league Orleans and Chamois Niortais, and a brief spell at Caen, where he scored five goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances, Nantes signed the forward on a five-year deal in July 2015 for a reported €1m.
During three-and-a-half seasons at the Stade de la Beaujoire, Sala scored 42 goals in 101 leagues games.
Last season he played under Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri and it was Sala who handed the former Leicester City manager his first win with a 1-0 victory over Troyes. He went on to score 12 times under Ranieri, finishing as the club's top scorer as Nantes sealed ninth place in Ligue 1.
The manager and his player - an easy-going, book-reading, guitar-playing, popular figure - struck up a fond relationship. "Ranieri has brought his great experience, his serenity, and an Italian style that we have seen sometimes in matches," Sala told L'Equipe last season.
Their connection even saw Sala linked with a January move to Ranieri's Fulham ahead of the current transfer window.
"People see the way he fights for every ball. That encourages his team-mates to do the same. He is a good example for everyone," Ranieri said of Sala last season.
Despite Ranieri's departure from Nantes at the end of the 2017/18 season, Sala's impressive form continued, with only Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani, Nicolas Pepe and Neymar outscoring him in the current campaign to date.
Last October, Sala became the first player to score a Ligue 1 hat-trick for Nantes since Mamadou Diallo's treble against FC Sochaux-Montbeliard in 2006 and he enjoyed a warm relationship with the club and its fanbase.
The Argentine scored his final goal for Nantes in December's 3-2 win over Marseille and he made his final appearance for the club on January 16, coming off the bench for the final 18 minutes of a 1-0 defeat by Nimes.
Sala had stayed on for one more match to help out injury-hit Nantes for that midweek trip to Nimes before bidding a fond farewell to his coaches and team-mates on the following Monday morning, tweeting a picture of his former colleagues with a heart emoji and fatefully "La ultima ciao" - the final goodbye.
But Sala was also excited to make his mark with his new club, joking 'a new Sala' was coming to the Premier League as he looked forward to the prospect of going head to head with the likes of Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
He told the Cardiff website: "I'm very happy to be here. It gives me great pleasure and I can't wait to start training, meet my new team-mates and get down to work.
"For me, it feels special [to be the club's record signing]. I have come here wanting to work and to help my team-mates and the club. I can't wait to get to work straight away and do everything I can."
With the club battling to avoid relegation, boss Warnock welcomed Sala's committed approach to the game.
"I like him, he's a hard worker," Warnock said after the transfer was confirmed. "He's not going to knock the walls down straight away, but we need strikers.
"The people we're looking at are types of players who will fit in with our squad. He is hard working, works his socks off for the team, doesn't catch the eye at times but is a manager's type of player."
That work ethic took Sala to the top of the game.
But as a person, he was even more fondly thought of by those who knew him best at Nantes.
He was sad to leave behind his friends in the French city, and the tearful tributes which followed reflect his immense popularity.

Payroll can account for a large percentage of a company’s operating expenses for many small- to medium-sized businesses. Meeting weekly or biweekly payroll, however, is a crucial responsibility for any business owner. Employees deserve to get paid on time and business owners owe it to their employees to do just that.
All the same, many businesses struggle to meet their payroll requirements for a number of reasons. Insufficient business cash flow, slow sales, and lack of cash reserves can make meeting payroll requirements difficult. As a small business owner, your payroll obligations remain the same even if sales are slow or an unexpected expense requires your immediate attention. In addition to covering the costs of employees’ weekly or biweekly checks, payroll costs might also include benefits, insurance, sales commission, bonuses and other types of compensation.
Fortunately small businesses or business with high net invoicing terms can take advantage of payroll funding options that improve their cash flow and help to meet their payroll obligations. That is, with payroll factoring, businesses can get an infusion of capital to both bolster their cash flow and satisfy payroll. Payroll factoring companies can be used on a regular, month to month basis and in as-needed urgent situations where the business is at risk of not meeting payroll demands.
By selling your current accounts receivables or invoices to payroll funding companies such as Business Factors, you can collect on money that is owed to you in 2-3 business days instead of 30-days, the usual client payment period. Though payroll funding might seem complicated to someone who’s not familiar with the process, it is actually quite simple.
First, as the small business owner, you sell your most current receivables to Business Factors, the payroll factoring company.
They will verify the validity of the invoice and run a credit check on your client — rather than your business — to ensure they have a good credit score. The payroll funding company will also make sure your client has a recent history of paying its bills on time.
With payroll funding, you can get paid right away without having to wait 30-days or more to collect client payment. In some instances payroll funding is referred to as “advance payroll funding” because it is like you are collecting an advance on money that is already owed to you.
Because businesses collect payment from their invoices every 30-days yet employees demand payment every two weeks, many businesses can struggle with having sufficient cash flow. Given the out of sync nature that exists between issuing employee payroll and collecting on invoices, monthly payroll financing makes sense for a lot of business.
Companies with large numbers of employees or those that have a large chunk of their expenses going toward payroll – particularly industries like staffing, recruitment or temporary employment agencies – can benefit tremendously from payroll factoring. A staffing agency that can’t pay its workers will certainly struggle to remain in business.
Meeting payroll obligations is different than meeting other types of financial debts. While ideally you want to pay all your bills on time, sometimes one bill or another might slip through the cracks and get paid a few weeks late. Though you may harm your relationship with that vendor – and your own credit history – if you routinely pay your bills late, not meeting your payroll obligations is an error of an entirely different level. In the case of a rare need to factor invoices for payroll you can consider a company that provides spot factoring of single invoices.
In addition to having your employees up and quit, you could be subject of serious lawsuits and fined by government institutions. Failure to meet payroll is the single worst thing that can happen to a business outside of insolvency.
As such a business should do everything it can to pay their employees on time. Though payroll factoring is not only for business emergencies, it most certainly can be used for urgent situations if necessary. Though on-demand payroll financing can cost more, it is a far better alternative to not paying your employees.
So if you are looking for a way to make sure you meet your payroll requirements each and every week, contact the experts at Business Factors. They provide payroll financing services so you can both improve business cash flow and add peace of mind knowing employees will get their paychecks.
Business Factors has been an incredible resource to my company. Without them, my business would not have been so successful. They are a wonderful group of people with a knowledgeable and courteous staff. I’ve worked with factors in the past, and will never recommend any other. Thank you, Business Factors for everything!

Party activists are demanding a united front against Supreme Court nominee despite election year pressures.
WASHINGTON — Throughout four days of hearings on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, Democrats grilled him on a range of issues, disrupted the committee chairman and managed to delay the hearing — but they likely did nothing to derail his path to confirmation.
When it was all over, Democrats remained unsatisfied with Kavanaugh’s testimony and the way the hearings were run, vowing to press forward with more questions. Committee members say they will continue to push for the release of hundreds of thousands of documents pertaining to Judge Kavanaugh’s career that have not been released to the senators or the public.
But more document disclosures seem unlikely with Republican leadership pushing forward on President Donald Trump's nominee and progressive activists are growing ever more impatient with Senate Democrats, demanding that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer keep his members unified in opposition and calling on him to do more to defeat Kavanaugh.
“The Supreme Court is on the line and you’re failing us,” a group of 13 progressive organizations wrote in a letter to Schumer.
Progressives are demanding that Schumer enforce party discipline and not allow Democratic senators who face re-election in states where Trump won in 2016, and remains popular, to vote for Kavanaugh's confirmation.
"Your strategy to sacrifice the Supreme Court in order to hold Democratic Senate seats is not only strategically and morally wrong, it will fail,” the letter continues.
Even if all 49 Senate Democrats vote against the nomination, Kavanaugh will be confirmed unless two of the 51 Republicans join them in dissent.
But Democrats could lose ground in their quest to take back control of the Senate if they all stick together. And Schumer is unlikely to attempt any drastic measure to try to enforce complete unity.
Three Democrats who face re-election in just weeks in Republican-heavy states voted in favor of Trump's first Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. All three — Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana — are in highly competitive races.
At the hearing, Democrats presented no damning evidence or testimony that threatened to strip him of any GOP support.
Democrats delayed the hearings’ proceedings by a few hours, protesting the volumes of documents that had been withheld from senators’ and the public’s view pertaining to Kavanaugh’s career as counsel and as staff secretary in President George W. Bush’s White House.
They argued that Kavanaugh would overturn Roe v. Wade, side against workers, be too deferential to executive power, and roll back access to health care.
In one moment of questioning by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Kavanaugh referred to birth control as “abortion-inducing drugs,” causing women’s choice advocates to sound the alarm.
Jake Faleschini, director of the Federal Court Program at the Center for American Progress, issued a pointed attack on red state Democrats who are running on issues of health care and Trump, asked how a senator could be “truly pro-choice,” “truly be a check on the president” and “truly claim to have protected their constituents health care” and vote for Kavanaugh.
Midterm political concerns are also colliding with future presidential politics, creating more friction within the party. At least three Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are considered potential presidential candidates in 2020: Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Kamala Harris, D-Calif.
One of those, Booker caused a firestorm for releasing documents labeled confidential to anyone outside the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he’s exploring opening an ethics investigation into Booker.
Booker was demanding documents that he said showed a troubling record for Kavanaugh’s on race and affirmative action. But he was also showing activists that he would push Republicans a step further than some of his colleagues.
And Harris spent several minutes of her questioning insinuating that Kavanaugh had a conversation with someone in the law firm of Trump’s personal attorney, Kasowitz, Benson and Torres, about special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. But Harris never detailed what she was referring to and the next day Kavanaugh said he had no "inappropriate" conversations about Mueller.
“The one that bothered me the most, and I like Senator Harris, is to insinuate that Judge Kavanaugh did something wrong by talking to some unnamed person at a 300-person law firm,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said.
McConnell says he is on schedule to bring Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Senate for a vote before the end of September.

You may have heard that, if one wants to attract happiness and abundance into their life, one must be happy and feel abundant. It is a simple formula but many people use excuses of debt, relationships and hardships as to why this formula does not work. It does take applied effort to redirect our thoughts and emotions. Like a moth incessantly drawn to the light bulb, we can also become fixated on our problems. Yet, with a flip of a switch we too can change our mind and ultimately change our lives.
Everything in the universe is Energy, and Energy is influenced by the mind. One of the most astounding experiments of quantum physics in recent scientific discovery is probably the double-slit experiment. It is the experiment that shows the entire universe exists by being experienced. Something only appears as matter when it is being observed. All of existence is essentially an unlimited sea of quantum energy with infinite possibilities waiting to happen. Niels Bohr, one of the most brilliant scientists of the 20th centuries recognized that, “the observer shapes what is observed.” The observer creates reality simply by observing. From these studies, we can understand how our thoughts and feelings have the very power to shape our reality. And how important it is to monitor our thoughts, feelings, and emotions; to be the master of our mind.
Often what is left out when discussing the “Law of Attraction” is Karma. Karma is what causes the entire cycle of cause and effect, in accordance with dharma (as responsibility or integrity). This idea of Karma derives from India’s ancient texts, that there is a divinely created natural order of things. Justice, social harmony and human happiness require that human beings discern and live in a manner appropriate to the requirements of that order. According to the various Indian religions, such as Buddhism, beings that live in accordance with dharma (integrity) proceed more quickly towards personal liberation.
In every moment, energy is flowing to us and in every moment we choose to use it positively or negatively (Cause & Effect). A great indicator of challenging karma or when we are not aligned with our dharma/destiny/integrity, is areas of life we are having negative emotions. Our emotions (E-motions) are energy in motion. When working with the Law of Attraction for our Highest Potential it is essential to have balanced emotions, an acceptance and an understanding of where we are coming from right now in every possible sense and to align with our truth.
Sometimes, we can become frustrated when we are not seeing immediate results around what we are creating for our lives. In some areas of our lives, we still have to balance karma before we are able to receive the fruits of our labor. I will use the collective to illustrate the point of balancing karma. The collective consciousness has been starting to “go green” to be more environmentally conscious, starting to harmonize with the Earth and Mother Nature, starting to create sustainable energy resources etc. Individually, people are recycling more, using electric cars, buying locally and riding bikes when possible. To think that the extreme weather patterns and pollution would immediately be cleaned up since we are now taking some action is unrealistic! We have been depleting the Earth’s resources for 100′s of years. This is our collective Earth Karma. To think that there is not going to be effects, from the world’s previous actions would be foolish. Just as it would be foolish to think in our own personal lives, there is no more room for growth before we achieve our desired goals and destination.
Our ego and e-motions can be very convincing and lead us chasing countless desires and/or wallowing in a pity party while buried under a mountain of thoughts, “what I should have done or what I should do’s,” only to be perpetuating our own self-inflicted pain, suffering and difficult karma.
Here is the great news, we have the choice to get up everyday and balance our karma while causing life to happen in the best possible version of where we are at now in our own journey, which is actually amazing. One of the ways we can repay or balance our negative Karma, is serving others, giving back in some way and having gratitude. So, where do we begin? Wherever you are now, in your process!
When you are present and doing what you love, you are naturally commanding the universe to align with you and putting things into existence.
Everyday you take a shower to wipe away the dirt and grime of the day. Would it not make sense to also clean & clear your energy, your E-motions and your Karma?
1. Define your vision. What do you want? Are you aligning with true values & what you truly love?
2. Acceptance and understanding of where you are NOW. Reconditioning the mind/negative thoughts & emotions- Recognizing when your ego is at the root of your suffering.
3. Make commitment to daily ritual of setting intention: Where you are focusing your energy.
4. Having mentors, friends, teachers, a coach that support you & your dreams.

Pests are small invaders that can cause enormous damage to your property. They are very good at hiding, so it may take a while before they get detected and identified. While some species live in yards and gardens, nesting under plant leaves and nearby rocks, others may live in your basement. In this article, we will share a couple of effective pest control tips you should take into consideration when trying to get rid of pests.
There are numerous types of pests out there. Some pests leave trails and clear signs of their presence, such as holes, gnaw marks, mud tubes, frass, droppings, musty odor, etc. However, there are also pest species that feed, nest and live quietly, inside your house walls or kitchen cabins. What is common for all types of pests is that they are persistent, hardworking creatures which can cause expensive damage and an unhealthy environment for humans.
Effective pest control requires proper identification of pests and knowledge of their life cycle and behavior. Once you learn how to detect them and estimate the damage they have caused, you can start planning your pest control strategy.
Speaking of pest control, it is always important to take timely action in order to prevent pests from infesting your home and environment. However, not many people recognize the need for pest control year round, and wait until they spot some of these invaders inside their property. If you suspect your home is infested by pests, you will find these DIY pest control tips useful.
Be tidy and organized. This is one of the essential things to consider if you want to get rid of pests. As we all tend to clutter our basement, garage and even the bedroom, it’s important to start organizing and throw away all the useless stuff.
Getting rid of all the unnecessary boxes, bags and magazines will make the space easier to clean and organize. Throwing away the useless cartons will help you remove the dust and you will end up having a beautiful, spacious, pest-free room. Making your living space tidy and well organized is not only incredibly healthy; it’s also one of the most effective and cost-free ways to ensure a pest-free environment.
When tidying up, don’t forget to organize the rest of the rooms, especially those where you keep your food. Store your food in plastic containers and glass jars with lids, and seal them properly. Since pests need food, once they get inside your home, they will find your storage right away if you don’t keep your food containers well-sealed. As soon as they discover it, they will contaminate it and jeopardize your health.
Use humidifiers and ventilators. Some areas of the house need more ventilation and humidifying. Attics, basements, and other similar places should always be dry, as pests enjoy nesting in moist and dark areas. Proper ventilation can prevent pests from making these areas their shelter and forces them to move somewhere else.
Wash your linen more often. Not all pest species enjoy living in your basement or in the kitchen cabins. Some of them, like dust mites and bed bugs, find shelter in your bed or between your clothes. In order to get rid of these almost-invisible pests, you should wash your clothes, towels, bed-sheets and blankets more often. Washing linen three or four times a month will ensure healthy, pest-free surroundings.
Don’t postpone house repairs. Repairing or replacing broken pipes, window frames and damaged doors on time is one of the most effective DIY pest control tips. As we all want to avoid pricey house repairs, we often unintentionally create opportunities for pests to enter the home. The longer we postpone the necessary repairs, the greater the chance of these small invaders getting inside our house.
Instead of allowing pests to find their shelter inside your property, it’s crucial to consider scheduling your house repairs as soon as possible. Additionally, it is good to install door sweeps in case you don’t have any.
Check and prevent leaks. One of the main water sources for all pest species is leaking water coming from the toilets, water tanks and hose pipes. As all pests need water and moisture to survive, nothing can attract them more than leaking water points in your home or the nearby areas.
Fortunately, preventing leaks by fixing the weak spots on pipes and joints is not a complex task for you to do. Moreover, fixing said leaks will prevent pests from finding the water source in your house and eventually force them to move elsewhere. However, in some cases, you may need to repair the complete drainage system to keep your environment healthy and pest-free. Either way, this is certainly one of the most effective DIY pest control tips you should seriously consider.
Keeping in mind that some pests can cause enormous house damage and costly repairs, it is always wise to be ready to deal with them. Although the aforementioned pest control tips can make a huge difference, it is important to know when to contact pest control professionals. Our pest control team is experienced and skilled in dealing with all kinds of home invaders in no time.
We take our clients seriously and approach each case separately, doing whatever it takes to offer high quality pest control service.

An ice-hockey star who walked away from the game, amphetamine junkie Eric LeMarque (Hartnett) goes snow boarding in California's High Sierras. Straight away, he goes off-piste in an impending blizzard, which might less you a shade less sympathetic towards what happens next.
Soon hopelessly lost, the junkie snowboarder, who also has a damaged leg, undergoes a gruelling week-long fight for survival.
Alas the film, like its subject, just slogs on and on, with only a momentary encounter with wolves to break the monotony as you fight against snow blindness.
Director Waugh tries desperately to enliven the narrative with cross-cuts to Eric's distraught mother (Sorvino) and flashbacks to his past life, but these only serve to seem intrusive.
Despite Hartnett's best efforts (he also co-produces), I'm afraid I was ready to give up on this one (which, like Wind River, was actually shot in Utah) at day two.

The PsychoEducational Consultant Group is available to discuss the types of evaluations we complete, such as Gifted testing, evaluations for dyslexia and other learning disabilities, ADHD, or accommodations for college entrance exams. We can be contacted 7-days a week to discuss your child’s needs via phone, e-mail, or contact us here. After consulting with one of our school psychologists, an appointment is scheduled to complete your child’s evaluation. Evaluations can be conducted at our office during the weekday or weekend hours. Evaluations are available by appointment only. We can be reached via phone or e-mail during regular business hours. If we are unavailable at the time of your call, please leave a message. Your call or e-mail will be returned within one business day.
“I recently had the pleasure of meeting Laura Smith from the PsychoEducational Consultant Group. Laura provided an evaluation for my 15 year old son, Trey. Based on past experiences I was not looking forward to these tests. Trey was diagnosed with Retinopathy of Prematurity shortly after birth and has 20/400 vision with glasses. In the past, his disabilities never seemed to be taken into full consideration and a score was typically assigned without factoring in his lack of vision, inability to see details, and extra time needed to complete tasks.
You may want to talk to your child about the upcoming evaluation. It is recommended that you tell your child that you, along with their teacher(s), are concerned and want to help them do their best. The visit to our office is for us to understand how they learn, and to find ways to help them improve. We recommend that you avoid using words like “test” or “testing”. This can put pressure on a child, and may imply that they will either pass or fail. The comprehensive evaluation process explores your child’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. It does not include any components that they can “fail”. In addition, there is nothing for your child to study prior to their evaluation. Children are asked to complete activities in which they answer questions, look at pictures, and solve problems or puzzles. Most children enjoy the evaluation process, and leave feeling good about their performance. Please make sure your child has a good night’s rest the evening before, and has eaten appropriately the day of the evaluation. If your child wears glasses or a hearing aid, they will need to wear them during their evaluation.
Payment is due upon service. Our fees are the sole responsibility of the child’s family. We do not bill insurance companies for evaluation costs. However, our fees may be considered an appropriate medical expense through a flexible spending account (FSA). Please check with your employer to determine the guidelines for reimbursed expenses through your flexible spending account.
Payments may be made by cash, check, or credit card. When necessary, a return check fee for the amount of the check plus a return check charge of $25 will be applied to your account. Payments that are not made within 60 days of becoming due, will accrue interest on the unpaid amount from that date forward at the highest rate allowable by law. The client will be obligated to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees when necessary.
Your family’s privacy is of utmost concern to us. The information gathered during the evaluation process is kept confidential, except where required by law. You have the right to expect confidentiality regarding your child’s evaluation results. We can communicate with a third party (e.g., staff members at your child’s school, their teacher, therapist, physician, etc.) with your permission. To do so, you must complete an Authorization to Release Information form. Only then are we authorized to communicate with that person or organization regarding your child and their assessment results.
We require 24-hour advance notice if you are unable to keep your appointment. Clients cancelling with less notice will incur a $75 cancellation charge, unless our staff is in agreement that you were unable to attend due to circumstances beyond your control.
Is your child bright or truly gifted?

There’s an expression “when life deals you lemons, make lemonade” and today it seemed fitting for me to write about it.
If something is sour you need to sweeten it.
Life works like that too.
It deals you all sorts of surprises and you have to work with them instead of fighting against them.
I have tons on my plate this month. I’m getting ready to go off grid, trying to find the right supplies for my new home (a 1978 RV), minimizing my stuff and getting all my technology needs and internet chores out of the way because…next month I’ll be limited to library and internet cafe access to get all my blogging and phone calls done.
This winter it was hard to concentrate and get work done in an environment where my landlords where going through a bitter “divorce” and so on.
It was just the way it was going to be.
I looked at it as a lesson in tolerance, patience and understanding.
It was motivating too. An affirmation of my choice – buying an RV was a good one.
It will increase my level of privacy, improve the sanity factor and expose me to beautiful surroundings.
Sure enough all of that patience has paid off and I’m piecing things together nicely.
There are set backs. I’ve had some surprise bills this month and today I had to deal with a bank error that means I have to call 4 organizations to get it fixed. Two down, two to go. It will waste about 10 hours of my time. Time better spent working on web stuff or writing.
Anywhooo….it’s just life. The practice dealing with large bureaucratic organizations will help me gain a greater understanding of what standards I want to have in place and how I want to deal with things in the future. Again…motivational.
Stuff is going to happen…again….and again…and again.
It’s out of our control and it will pass before you know it.
Life is fleeting and events are temporary.
No need to hit rock bottom because of the small stuff.
What I’m trying to say with all of this is “this too shall pass”.
Sometimes, I need to take my advice a little more effectively but…I’m trying. You can too.

Many electric fireplaces models can be plugged into a standard household outlet, but you should ensure it is connected to a circuit breaker or fuse which should serve only one outlet. If you purchase an electric fireplace with a built-in model that should be hardwired, then new wiring and the circuit breaker is needed. You should work with a licensed electrician to get new wiring which is suitable for a plug-in fireplace, or you could install a hardwired model.

Regional dialects of French survive for the most part only in uneducated rural speech, although the Picard-Walloon dialect of northern France and the Norman dialect of western France gave strong competition to Francien in medieval times, and Walloon is still spoken in Belgium.
The French language of Canada, originally probably of northwestern dialect type, has developed a lot of individual features. There exist also many French-based creoles (in Haiti, USA, the Carribbean islands etc.).
Standard French has also greatly reduced the use of the Occitan language of southern France (the so-called Langue d’oc, from Provençal oc for yes). Occitan’s major dialect, Provençal, was a widely used medieval literary language.

Clean out your medicine cabinet and get rid of your unwanted, unneeded, outdated, or just plain useless prescription drugs THE SAFE WAY. This Saturday, September 25, the Grand Junction Police Department is taking part in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. From 10 am to 2 pm you can drop off unused, expired medications with absolutely no questions asked. There are several locations throughout the Grand Valley, including the GJPD at the corner of 6th St. and Ute Ave.
According to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health the non-medical use of prescription drugs ranks second only to marijuana as the most prevalent category of drug abuse in the U.S.
That same survey found more Americans currently abuse prescription drugs than the number of those abusing cocaine, hallucinogens, and heroin combined.
The 2009 Monitoring the Future Survey found one in ten 12th graders use the narcotic Vicodin for non-medical purposes.
The 2008 Partnership Attitude Tracking Survey showed the majority of teenagers using prescription drugs got them from family and friends, including from their home medicine cabinets.
The best part about this program is you don’t have to pay anything to participate. Simply stop in at a participating location, put your unwanted medications in the box, and walk out. You’re done. There are some things we cannot accept. See a full list of those items and the complete list of participating locations here.

You’ve likely heard it said a million times, “Communication is key.” That is something the Grand Junction Police Department truly believes in. Whether it be in the middle of a critical incident we are dealing with, or in the middle of a critical issue facing our community, good communication is the key to having an effective police department that truly serves you and our great city. That is why the GJPD is launching itself into the world of social media. Our goal is to give you firsthand information and updates on the things we think are important for you to know, as well as the things we think you’ll be curious about. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about some of the inner workings of this department and get a chance to hear about the many activities we’re involved with that don’t get covered in the news.
This also gives us a chance to hear directly from you. We look forward to reading your comments, hearing your concerns, and learning about the things that interest you as well. This is a two-way street and one more tool to keeping us in touch with you.

You're right the removal of certain customization options since Dice made that public statement about "toning it down" before launch.
A little flawed there in your logic about EA's apprehension towards content for half the price, then follow it up with how the game did just that, drop to 50% a week later. What would have stopped them from selling Premium for just as cheap, or even cheaper around the same time period? Would that have degraded the content if they did?
As far as I can tell, it's difficult to call Live Service a complete failure since it really hasn't launched yet. If micro-transactions is dependent on the survivability of this title, guess what, micro-transactions hasn't even been implemented yet.
I'll keep beating the same drum about how the game is incomplete, and should have been delayed much longer than a month. This content drought is just fallout to that. We'll have to wait and see after Firestorm and the new roadmap shapes up to fully gauge how much of a failure the Live Service truly is.
And for players who didnt buy premium then you will have little to moan about if the live service provides little extra content. Even if you get one more map and 1 more gun over the (completed- bfv is far from it) base game, you have got more than you paid for. However for those players who were happy to have bought Premium for that extra content (usually roughly another games worth of maps/guns and support etc for less than the price of a full new game) then they are going to be disappointed in the lack of extra content to keep the game fresh that they usually get - though obviously paid for.
How long do we have to stare at "coming soon" in the vehicle loadout sections?
So things that are authentic to a specific time period are the same as historical accuracy?
DICE's interpretation of "historical accuracy" is that lots of women fought at the front lines in WWII, Is that really "authentic" to that time period?
But then again, You are of the opinion that this game isn't political in the slightest.
All this diversity and censoring of certain words and symbols isn't political at all, Noo.. LOL.
I’ll never buy another battlefield game again. Been playing since 1942.
Used to be my favorite franchise. The epic ness of all the games, the vehicle combat, the squad play.. thats what drew me in.
Every title takes away from the core values more and more.
They pander to the casual so much, they try to compete against call of duty with yearly releases, they pander to SJWs and say say F you to the long time fans.
EA is a bad soulless company. They use to make games that were fun to play. Now they make trash.
Aww. Someone is still upset because she thinks this game is political.
@DK_Bastian2 You can already purchase tank camos via the tank customization tab, but nothing so grand like the Last Tiger skin, just paint.
It really depends on how much you play the game. Every Battlefield game since Bad Company 2 Ive logged more than 1k hours of game time and to me I get my moneys worth as I am playing ALOT, but for others who don't play anywhere near as much I can understand.
I just want the ability to customize my emblem for the clan and all the other people should have this option. Its been an option for soo long on other bf's why change it?
Ya, i was very underwhelmed at the level of customization available in game, considering this is supposed to be from AAA DEV's in a game they have basically had many years prior experience in developing ( read: game is pretty similar to its predecessors- same engine etc) Especially since, you know its like 2019 now.
I was expecting real upgrades, not just a drop down list that you select from.
The paint schemes seem very weak in application. I cannot stand how 'thin' the predator camo looks for example. Not to mention that there really aren't that many to choose from, or the fact that some are locked to one type. ie gold camo locked to iron type sight, can't apply it to 3x scope.
It would be nice to have more cosmetics imo, and hair. I really want hair.

SAN FRANCISCO (October 10, 2014) — The California Academy of Sciences is pleased to announce that 13 new members have joined the ranks of the Academy Fellows, a governing group of over 400 distinguished scientists who have made notable contributions to one or more of the natural sciences. Nominated by their colleagues and selected by the Board of Trustees, the Academy Fellows remain members of the Fellowship for life. The new members will be inducted during the Fellowship’s next meeting on October 14, 2014. They will join such well-known Academy Fellows as Sylvia Earle, Paul Ehrlich, John Holdren, Peter Raven, and Jill Tarter.
In the same event, the Academy will honor six retiring curators for their extensive contributions to biodiversity research and conservation. The six curators, including Drs. Frank Almeda, Thomas F. Daniel, Robert C. Drewes, Charles E. Griswold, David H. Kavanaugh, and John E. McCosker, have been named Emeritus Curators and will continue to engage with Academy collections, facilities, and staff to extend the important research and mentorship they have carried out for decades.
During the meeting, the Fellowship will also present one of its members with the Academy’s highest honor: the Fellows’ Medal. This award is given to especially prominent scientists who have made outstanding contributions to their specific scientific fields. Medalists are nominated each year by the Academy Fellows and confirmed by the Board of Trustees. This year's medal will be awarded to Dr. Geoffrey Marcy from the University of California, Berkeley for his pioneering research on exoplanets. Brief biographies for the Fellows Medal recipient and each of the new Fellows are included below.

Due to the increasing effects of changing climate, Hill is committed to translating acidification research to industry groups, policymakers, and K-12 teachers. She received her BS in Marine Science from Eckerd College, and her PhD in Marine Science from UC Santa Barbara.
Dr. Lowman pioneered the science of canopy ecology more than 30 years ago. She has used hot-air balloons and has designed walkways, and other ways of accessing forest canopies to assess the biodiversity they harbor. Before joining the Academy, Lowman was a Professor at North Carolina State University and the founding director of North Carolina's innovative Nature Research Center at the Museum of Natural Sciences. She received her PhD in Botany at Sydney University, as well as a degree in Executive Management from Tuck School of Business. As Chief of Science and Sustainability, Lowman is responsible for the Academy’s research, exploration, and sustainability initiatives.
Dr. Nachman is the Director of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. He studies the genetic basis of evolution, from how organisms adapt to their environment to the fascinating genetic changes underlying the origin of new species. After receiving his PhD in Biology from the University of Michigan, Nachman served as an NSF-NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford University and as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University. Until recently, he was a Professor at the University of Arizona, and has contributed to several journals as a senior editor. Nachman was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2005.
Dr. Perlmutter is a 2011 Nobel Laureate, sharing the prize in Physics for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe. He is a professor of Physics at UC Berkeley, and a senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Perlmutter received his PhD in Physics from UC Berkeley, where his interest in teaching scientific problem-solving techniques to non-scientists continues to spark new courses, like Sense and Sensibility and Science. He leads the international Supernova Cosmology Project and directs the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics. In addition to numerous awards and honors, he writes popular articles and has appeared in numerous documentaries broadcast on PBS, Discovery Channel, and the BBC.
Dr. Rocha is Assistant Curator of Ichthyology at the California Academy of Sciences, where he studies the evolution, conservation, taxonomy, and community ecology of coral-reef fishes. He frequently combines these disciplines, invoking ecology to help explain evolutionary patterns. The objective of Rocha’s interdisciplinary research is to test existing—and propose new—hypotheses about what creates and maintains the extremely high biodiversity in and around tropical coral reefs. Rocha’s work supports conservation efforts across the globe, and he has been featured in many popular media outlets including The New York Times, Scientific American, and National Geographic magazine.
Dr. Marcy is a Professor of Astronomy at UC Berkeley, an Adjunct Professor of Physics and Astronomy at San Francisco State University, and one of the pioneers in the discovery and characterization of planets around other stars. Marcy’s research allowed for the detection of the first multiple-planet system, as well as the first Saturn-mass and Neptune-mass planets. As a co-investigator of NASA’s Kepler telescope and Alberts Chair in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence at UC Berkeley, Marcy searches for Earth-size planets around other stars. Marcy is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and has won numerous awards—including the Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization—for his leadership in the scientific community.
Dr. Almeda has been an Academy scientist for more than 36 years, specializing in the family of flowering plants commonly referred to as “princess flowers,” and investigating questions about botanical diversity, biogeography, and evolution. He also played a critical role in bringing the Academy’s living roof to life. Almeda’s international field expeditions, from Mexico to Madagascar, have revealed the role some plant families can play in helping to inform biodiversity assessments and conservation decisions. As Emeritus Curator, Almeda will continue building collaborations in biodiversity hotspots around the world, while working on a global online biodiversity inventory project supported by the National Science Foundation and available to anyone, anywhere.
An Academy scientist for 28 years, Dr. Daniel has devoted his career to studying the geographic distribution, ecosystem relationships, and evolutionary history of a wide variety of plants, especially members of the family Acanthaceae. This diverse group of flowering plants—one of the largest families in the world—has inspired his many expeditions to the dry tropics of Latin America and Africa, and his discovery and description of dozens of new species. Daniel has published more than 150 scientific articles and monographs. As Emeritus Curator, he will continue work on his most ambitious project, a monograph documenting all 430 species of Acanthaceae in Mexico.
Dr. Drewes explores the history and evolution of African reptiles and amphibians, as well as the environmental physiology of amphibians. Following three decades of fieldwork on the African mainland, he refocused his attention on the ancient, poorly understood biodiversity of the Gulf of Guinea Islands. In 2013, UNESCO designated Principe Island as a World Biosphere Reserve, largely due to Drewes’ research findings. Through his work in this region, he aims to provide a better understanding of Africa’s deep-time geologic and climatological history and will continue to raise awareness among the local citizens of the uniqueness and fragility of their surroundings.
During his 22 years at the Academy, Dr. Griswold has become a renowned expert on some of the world’s least understood and most maligned creatures: spiders. An evolutionary biologist, Griswold studies the phylogeny and classification of spiders around the world. He has discovered and described 322 new species, 45 new genera, and an entirely new family of spiders, known as Trogloraptor, found in Oregon caves. It was the first new family of spiders discovered in North America since the 1890s. As Emeritus Curator, Griswold will continue his work to understand the evolution and distribution of spiders. He plans to mentor graduate and postdoctoral students while continuing to share the wonders of spiders with Academy visitors.
Dr. Kavanaugh has been with the Academy as both a Curator and Director of Research for more than 40 years. His work focuses on predatory ground beetles in the family Carabidae, research inspired by the group’s diversity and abundance in cold, isolated places, where changes in distribution can indicate wider environmental change. Kavanaugh studies the beetles’ evolutionary history in order to understand their relationship to climate change, and he remains committed to helping complete a full Carabidae biodiversity inventory. As Emeritus Curator, he will continue mentoring students while working to describe the hundreds of new beetle species he discovered during his storied career.
Dr. McCosker has served the Academy in a variety of capacities for 41 years. His research has focused on the evolution and behavior of a number of marine organisms, especially sharks, eels, and the fishes of the Galápagos Islands. His research on white sharks forever changed our understanding of these animals’ behavior, and helped rewrite public policies to make beaches safer. More recently, McCosker’s studies of endangered and depleted fishes—and his tireless efforts in support of their conservation—resulted in a California-wide ban on the sale of shark-fin products. An author of more than 270 popular and scientific articles and books, McCosker plans to dedicate his time as Emeritus Curator to studying eels and other fishes while advocating for the conservation of aquatic species and ecosystems.
The Institute for Biodiversity Science and Sustainability at the California Academy of Sciences is at the forefront of efforts to understand two of the most important topics of our time: the nature and future of life on Earth. Based in San Francisco, the institute is home to more than 60 research scientists and aquarium biologists, as well as nearly 46 million scientific specimens from around the world—close to 40,000 of which are alive and on display in the Academy’s Steinhart Aquarium. The institute also leverages the expertise and efforts of more than 100 international Research and Field Associates and 300 distinguished Fellows. Through expeditions around the globe, captive breeding programs, and investigations in the lab, the institute’s scientists strive to understand the evolution and interconnectedness of life. Through these same efforts, as well as through partnerships, community outreach, and public engagement initiatives, the institute aims to guide critical conservation decisions and address the challenge of sustainability.

That bark is absolutely gorgeous. What a good choice! And good luck.with your own garden. Mine is an absolute mess after my neglect last year, but i smell spring in the air and can’t wait to get out there again….
Lovely to hear from you and yes, a peek at your new garden would be very welcome. (And the sooner you show it off the more you can place what you perceive as its inadequacies at the feet of the previous owners…) That looks like a very exposed site you have to contend with at the hospice, but the new trees are beautiful.
I do remember peeling the bark. If it is a squirel, it’s an extremely large one!

Turnkey Lender is a loan management solution designed for cloud lending, retail, microfinance, medical, payday loans, lease financing and telecom lending. Available both in cloud-based and on-premise deployment options, the product offers loan origination, loan servicing, portfolio management, underwriting and debt collection functionalities within a suite.
Turnkey Lender features front-office management, which allows users to define the terms of loan applications, manage customer accounts and accept online applications. The software also features risk scoring, which allows users to calculate loan risks on the basis of pre-defined criteria. Turnkey integrates with credit bureau reporting services, which allows users to view scores is a dashboard. The loan servicing functionality allows users to manage loan disbursement, payment collection and loan rollover.
Turnkey also offers payment collection management, which allows users to manage the collection agent workflow based on “promise-to-pay” dates. Users can also write-off, write-down and restructure loans based on criteria rules.
It only needs an improvement to be able to carry out credit lines online, which would make the client-supplier personal time and interaction more manageable.
Cost effective software, good support and ease of transaction for users.
Its very simple to use and very easy to follow the screen prompts. In our case, we are offering investors the possibilty to invest in consumer loans in Africa. The system splits the users into 3 user categories and does not confuse each user with tons of functionality which in the end confuses them and does not necessarily add much . We wanted a simple and straight forward system and that is what we got especially since our requirements were slightly fuzzy to begin with. So not giving you too much too early made our job a lot easier.
The software does not have a lot of reporting functionality or at least does not come with it as a menu item but must be paid for additionally.
My experience was dealing with the development team to make sure the software was being customized how we needed it to. The team was always very responsive and quick to deliver answers and solutions.
The software is very easy to use and our processes are now much quicker thanks to the automation that the software allows.
Because our processes are so much more automated now with the software, we cannot do as many individual changes as we used to before. This just meant that we had to slightly adjust our processes to be in line with the new software capabilities.
Very fast time to market and established a market leading business very quickly thanks to Turnkey Lender.
The reporting can get messy if you do any live testing and you can't remove the entries due to very strict audit controls. I know it's not really a con, more a feature.
Our hope for Turnkey was to provide a full flow from customer application to settlement with improvement on our efficiency. This has been acheived to a high standard and realise how labour intensive our workload was prior to this. The product and team have delivered so far. And hoping to create further improvments based around our specific needs.
We love the ease of use with this product. The team at Turnkey have obviously reasearched the market well to porvide relevant features with many unexpected extras, only those invested in the industry and its requirements would understand.
Simply that the 'off the shelf' product reflects more typiclaly US format and terminology. However, the team will and have worked to update this to meet our requirements.
KUNGKEA from HL&M WORLD CO., LTD.
Can gain more clients to use this online loan origination software. Clients can use this system to promote and manage their customers without much investment.
Online access for both back end and front-end(Loan Origination). Role matrix back officer users and multiple Lona products.
limited to multiple clients(client1, client2, client3) cannot filter applicants by clients. example: client1 should see only client1's customers. Client2 should only client2's customers. And Client3 should only client3's customers.
Very helpful and good explanation of features, support teams work promptly and very thorough. Easy to use UI.
Thanks Turnkey Lender for helping to improve the automation of my workflows. For me, as the owner of a start-up lending company, it was a little unusual to use this type of product for my business. But, as they say, "Time is money!" And, time is of the utmost importance in this business. That's why it is important for me to use a solution like Turnkey Lender. It greatly increased my number of customers and turnover as well. All this, and it decreased the processing times for each new application. It certainly works as advertised!
Ultimately I could not use it.
The team lacks integrity. Several times they stated one thing and then reneged . This increased my costs, delayed revenue and negatively impacted my clients .
We used Turnkey Lender to stand up a loan origination system for veterinary services in short order. The product has the vast majority of the functionality right out of the box, was easily integrated with a credit agency to pull FICO scores and the support team did an outstanding job making our requested customizations.
Solid COTS product and very customer oriented support team.
While they do offer a SAAS model, pricing seems to be slanted toward outright licensing of the product. This might be something to refine.

This classy, oriental vintage carpet is not only a beautiful utilitarian object but also a meaningful piece of history. It is packed with traditional kilim motifs that for centuries have served tribal women to express themselves and provide blessing to a household or a particular family. Here, the message is one of feminine power and guardianship.
The main field comprises of diamonds, the most commonly used symbol of protection against the Evil Eye(people’s jealousies and ill wishes) and Elinbelinde – “hands on hips” which represent female strength, motherhood and fertility. Elinbelinde is one of the oldest Anatolian motifs and a source of great interest to those that subscribe to the “Mother Goddess” theory regarding the origin of Anatolian kilims. Even more elaborate “Hands on Hips” pattern can be found on the main border, whereas secondary borders proudly bear “wolf’s mouth”, diamonds and a zigzag, that stands for running water, an extremely scarce resource in deserts and steppes where kilims were originally made.
All these powerful messages are further emphasized by a thoroughly composed color palette of sandy beige, brick red, off-white and indigo. Although quite rich and varied, the shades are properly toned and result in a harmonious composition. This vintage round rug was masterfully hand-knotted of the finest wool in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques which ensure its quality and uniqueness. It will be excellent for all modern interiors with a distinctive boho vibe but it will also find its way into classic and futuristic decors. An option for all lovers of never-passing charm and timeless elegance.
Doris Leslie Blau has always tried to bring the charm enclosed in antique, persian, cheap moroccan rugs closer to people, closer to you. We opened our galleries in multiple locations in order to let you experience the sheer beauty of antique, vintage persian, oriental rugs and carpets with your own eyes and hands.

Chief Servant Adama Barrow just concluded his two-week long meet the people’s tour where he made several promises. Reading various media reports I got to understand that these promises form part of 42 projects that are identified under his National Development Plan.
Since the days of Jawara and then Yaya Jammeh we have these presidential countrywide tours where numerous promises are made. In most cases these promises are not fulfilled but get repeated at every tour.
This trend has to stop. But if only citizens begin to actively identify these promises in order to track their implementation.
Citizens in each and every village, town, ward, district or region must begin to list these promises made to them so that after the tour they start the process of following up with the relevant Government institutions as well as their National Assembly Member and Local Government Chairperson, Governor and Mayor to ensure that the promises that the Chief Servant gave them are fulfilled.
This is the only way we will end the usual practice of empty promises imposed on citizens by politicians. This is the only way we will make our presidents honest and effective. This is the only way citizens will ensure that no politicians and public officers take them for a ride.
Therefore, to start that process, I have gone through various media reports to capture some of the promises made by the Chief Servant Adam Barrow and some of his ministers during the tour. I urge you to also go back to those reports to identify which promise was made to your village or town or ward or district or region. We must not let Adama Barrow treat us as how DK Jawara and Yaya Jammeh treated us.
11. To build fish processing factories and storage facilities in Tanji and Brufut that would create more than 20, 000 jobs. Work to begin 2019.
15. To make Jarra and Kiang the first to benefit from national electricity roadmap.
19. Minster of Education Claudiana Cole promised Kombo North a new and accessible senior secondary school for the district if the people can provide land.
26. A digital register that would register all pregnant women in the country to enable health workers to monitor, respond and send alerts to them.
What was promised to your village or town or region? Find out and start tracking the fulfilment of the promises. Promises, when made, are to be kept and not broken!
CSOs and NAMs and other stakeholder must also follow up on these promises. Let us help Barrow fulfil his promises!
Adamas’ track record has so far failed the apt title of “chief servant” after merely one and a half year in office. He is gradually turning into a tyrant, warning would-be protesters about severe consequences Jammeh-style, and demeaning Gambian political activists abroad (I have a problem with the term diasporans, whatever that means). Don’t shy away from the term a dictator in the making, Madi.
We are witnessing glaring similarities between Adama and the past FAILED presidents of the republic. That should be a call for more vigilance and scrutiny of all aspects and branches of an administration that is evidently taking us downhill. Nevertheless, expecting any different results from Adama and Ousainou, from that of Dawda and Yaya will be pure insanity.
Madi keep up the unflinching loyalty to your people and the truth.
I say jerre jeff, njaraama, abaaraka.

The unique dual maturation imparts an extra depth of fruit flavours that elevate this Single Malt into a kaleidoscope of tropical fruit flavours balanced extremely well with the deep layered malt and wood notes evident in the long, decadent finish. Each of the 500 bottles of the 30-Year-Old release were hand bottled in unique decanter bottles and come in a high end wooden gift box with their own certificate of authenticity. The Teeling 30-Year-Old Single Malt is truly a unique Irish whiskey, whose rarity is matched by its distinctive character and flavour, creating a piece of Irish whiskey history to savour.

Fifteen-year-old Birdie is an introverted teenager. She still struggles with the death of her father, who was murdered five years ago in prison, and feels like she can’t talk to anyone about her sadness. Her mother, Felicity, seems to care more about her appearance than her daughter, and Birdie hasn’t got many friends at school apart from Cassius. But he’s head over heels in love with her, so he isn’t always completely impartial. And so, Birdie holds back her tears and hides behind a veil of her hair.
The fact she writes like this shows literary self-confidence and ambition, the way she does it shows mature authorship.
Her rich vocabulary and thoughtful wording leave a lasting impression.

Selayang Hospital is the first fully electronic medical record, paperless hospital built as a showcase for Malaysia’s government hospitals. Although Data Warehouse project is part of the Total Hospital Information System, it had not been implemented even after going live for many years. The complexity of the hospital system architecture contributes to the difficulty for business intelligence and report generation.
When Speedminer was presented to the hospital, the Head of Medical Record mentioned “This is the tool that I have been looking for so long, and now I want to implement it”. She was so determined, that even without the approval of purchase, she was willing to rent the system. After 2 months of full implementation in Medical Record department, the other departments became amazed with the capabilities of Speedminer and wanted to have the system for their department as well. As a result, from a departmental implementation, Speedminer project was then converted into Selayang Hospital’s Business Intelligence project.
"Users from Selayang Hospital are very satisfied and happy using Speedminer DW & BPM as a data warehouse software. They can count on Speedminer DW & BPM to get their statistics. Senior clinicians and users from the emergency, pathology, and medical record department say that Speedminer DW & BPM is reliable and fulfills most requirements, despite the challenge in extracting data from the most complex CERNER database."


text: Real-world systems present a variety of challenges to the modeller, not least of which is the problem of uncertainty inherent in their operation. In this research, an interval type-2 fuzzy model is applied to a real-world problem, the goal being to discover a suitable optimisation configuration to enable a search for an inventory plan using the model. To this end, a series of simulated annealing configurations and the interval type-2 fuzzy model were used to search for appropriate inventory plans for a large-scale real-world problem. A further set of tests were conducted in which the performance of the interval type-2 fuzzy model was compared with a corresponding type-1 fuzzy model. In these tests the results were inconclusive, though, as will be discussed there are many ways in which type-2 fuzzy logic can be exploited to demonstrate its advantages over a type-1 approach. To conclude, in this research we have shown that a combination of interval type-2 fuzzy logic and simulated annealing is a logical choice for inventory management modelling and inventory plan search, and propose that the benefits that a type-2 model offers, can make it preferable to a corresponding type-1 system.

Based on factor analysis method, this paper studies the comprehensive economic strength of all regions (states and cities) in Xinjiang, and selects 11 indicators reflecting the comprehensive economic strength of 15 cities (states and cities) in Xinjiang to make a comprehensive analysis. Finally, the grey prediction theory is used to forecast the comprehensive economic strength of Xinjiang from 2017 to 2021. The results show that there are differences and imbalances in the economic development of each city. Urumqi has a strong economic development advantage, ranking first in the economy, while Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture is the weakest.

I’ve wrote about him before. So why am I writing about him once again ?
No, can’t think of one right now.
This post isn’t going to be about that though. This entry is about what he did after.
Just as with Robbie Savage’s post-playing career, we’ve also stopped paying attention to what Cantona went on to do after he retired from football.
There were a few footie-related activities. He took up beach soccer and managed a French team, taking them to the Beach Soccer World Cup Finals. There was some talk about him going into actual management. He once said that he’d only take over at the top, not as an assistant or anything.
In 2002 with Fergie’s first retirment attempt there was some talk of Eric replacing him, but Cantona was not a fan of the Glazers and it never went any further.
Additionally you’ll have seen him in a few adverts for Nike and most recently for Kronenberg.
But what young Eric really wanted to do was to be a thespian.
Cantona’s other career has been on the big screen with appearances in productions such as Elizabeth (1998), Mookie (1998) – where he acted opposite a chimp. In 2003 for the film L’outremangeur (The Over-Eater) he played an obese detective , alongside Rachida Brakni who eventually became his wife.
Then in 2009 he took on the difficult role of playing himself in the Ken Loach film Looking For Eric.
The French group Dionysos (who also sing in English) released the album: La Mécanique du Cœur.
Also: The band performed this song live and Eric appeared to play his part.
– Additionally the album was adapted into an animated movie: Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart.
You thought you misheard, but you didn’t. They did mention Sunderland in the lyrics. If you’ve watched the video you’ll have seen that King Eric re-enacts a famous “non-celebration” after he scored that goal against Sunderland in 1996.
2012 I mentioned above about his actress wife Rachida Brakni.
A couple of years ago she released an album and that man Cali pops up again – He composed the music and her husband wrote the lyrics.
There are rednecks in France? I didn’t know rednecks has the intelligence to fill our passport applications.

You can almost hear the chocolate bars whispering from the shelf.
They all want to be chosen by chocolate aficionados. But it’s not 2007 anymore, where few brands had to compete for the attention of consumers. Now it’s 2017, and there are more than 300 craft chocolate makers on the market. All eager to get a piece of the cake.
Craft chocolate retailers like Chocolopolis in Seattle can choose among a vast range of brands to carry in their stores.
In a saturated market, the biggest challenge is distinction.
Something has to be so unique that the company stands out from the savage competition. If consumers recognize a chocolate bar among hundreds, the company wins. To reach this goal, chocolate makers need to have a beautiful packaging.
It doesn’t matter how good the chocolate inside is. The bar has to be “pretty” first.
Once it catches attention, then consumers are intrigued to pick it up from the shelf and read the details. The packaging acts like the salesperson of the company. It talks directly to the end-consumer. Like every salesperson, it must be convincing with both the look and the info presented.
“The quality of the paper inside and out was hugely important, and not easy to source (it had to have a good feel but be easy to fold and yet not tear). I also wanted to create a cohesive look that said “Map” yet had each wrapper be unique to its bar. And because I do 4-5 seasonal bar releases, it means new packaging for each new bar.
It is important for me to have the wrapper convey the uniqueness of each bar. So, when I test a bar and decide to make it, I then find the wrapper design, create a new band, and write the note that gets tucked inside”.
This accuracy for details pays off. The packaging of Map Chocolate is recognized as one of the most beautiful on the craft chocolate market. Chocolate aficionados on Instagram go crazy for her world maps and her breath-taking mold.
“Because I built Map with a tight budget, I looked at the cost of hiring a designer, having custom packaging die-cut and printed, etc. and decided I would do that myself in old-fashioned sweat equity style.
From the start I’ve designed the packaging myself, sourced the paper, cut the paper, printed the bands and cut them. I’m still creating my packaging in-house (except for the inner parchment wrapper). Being the designer and doing the layout has helped. If I want to create a new bar or a limited release, I have this built-in flexibility.
The flip side of this is that making it all takes almost as much time as making the chocolate, so the changes I’m working on will help with this. I think by doing the work myself I’ve been able to balance the higher cost of my materials”.
This comes as no surprise. Craft chocolate makers often complain about the high expenses for packaging. This process always ends up being more expensive than expected.
Mirzam Chocolate has opened its bean-to-bar making activity in Dubai only a few months ago. However, the company is already well-known to online chocolate communities thanks to its catchy packaging.
“Packaging has been more expensive than we expected, as our production volumes, like most craft chocolate makers, is quite small. However, we will always source environmentally friendly paper stocks.
Packaging is a key factor in the success of a craft chocolate brand. This is why companies decide to upgrade their “look” until they are completely satisfied.
French Broad Chocolates is a successful business based in North Carolina. Its chocolate lounge sees many chocolate lovers standing in line all day trying to buy chocolate bars, truffles, desserts, confectionery treats and much more.
“We have gone through one major design transition.
When our chocolate bars were introduced, they were wrapped in foil and a brown paper wrapper, and adorned with colored grosgrain ribbon. They were pretty, but did not really stand out on the shelves.
Our current design has been in place for a year, and involved a ton of thoughtful design, soul searching, and storytelling. We use the packages as a mechanism for sharing stories – about chocolate, about our business, and about the partners whose work we are honored to feature in our chocolate. And so, we designed it to look like an antique book”.
“The packaging is super expensive for us. As a percentage of the wholesale price of our bars, packaging is 30.6% of the price. It’s about 17% of the retail price”.
packaging is expensive, but it’s worth every penny and will pay back the effort.
it takes time to put everything together.
between doing everything in-house and outsourcing completely, there are many middle-ways.
companies should always strive for a better packaging.
What is YOUR favorite packaging on the craft chocolate market?
Absolutely, packaging is an important part of the product. It must convey a feel, a picture of the people behind the scenes and their philosophy, besides revealing the necessary information for consumers.
For these reasons, who works with the labels of a product is in close relationship with the marketing aspect of it, because informed consumers today expect to find authenticity in the foods they buy.
But… There’s a very fine line between being authentic and giving just an impression of hype. This is an art!
French Broad Chocolates demonstrates all the ingredients for a worthy presentation of their products. They worked hard on that and the result is visible.
