Ironically, Désirée, who left her family and home behind many years ago and celebrates a scandalous career as a saxophonist in London, inherits her parents' home after the death of her mother, Maria Goldinger. The Last will forces her back home, where she meets her five-year-older sister Lara. An encounter that is anything but harmonious. Not only the strange will of the celebrated writer, but also a bewildering manuscript and a mysterious amulet in her estate force the daughters to grapple with their own unpleasant past - and with a repressed chapter of European history that had more impact on their lives than they could ever have guessed. In retrospect, the story of three women unfolds, all dealing with family secrets in their own way. It is also the story of a love wrested from fate, which plunges the following generations into misfortune.

Inside: If impulse buys are draining your wallet, then learn to embrace your inner lazy person see how procrastination saves you money.
When we moved into our house, the previous owners left their 15-year-old washer and dryer. The washer broke down after a month and we replaced it. And as much as I want to replace the almond colored dryer, we keep putting it off. Almost 12 years later, it still works. Procrastination saved us money.
Much of the time, procrastinating is considered a bad thing. Delaying your savings, putting off that doctor’s appointment, and waiting to deal with maintenance issues are all great examples of when procrastination is bad.
But sometimes, it is good. And I am very good at procrastinating.
If you can delay in a good way, you will likely save money. And it is easy to do.
Do I really want or like this?
How many times have I thought about this?
Here are a few questions to need to ask yourself before making a purchase.
One of the first things I do when contemplating a purchase is to ask myself, “Do I even need this?”.
The question also makes me reconsider things like cookware, garden tools, and more. Of course, sometimes the answer is yes. If our daughter’s only soccer ball was lost and she needs it for practice and games, then we get a new soccer ball.
You could use a sweater at work because management likes to keep the AC going full blast. Any cardigan would work. But if you are spending money on something you’ll be wearing often, why not enjoy it? So, when you ask yourself the question “do I like this?” it slows you down and forces you to ensure that you’ll be happy with the purchase.
Another way delaying a purchase saves me money is that it gives me time to consider how often I think about needing or wanting that item.
This is what I do this with kitchen gear. If I consider wanting an item more than 5 times within a short time span (about 3 months) then I know the item will likely get used.
For example, a food processor. Yes, I can do all that chopping with a knife or puree in a blender. Yet several times a month, the food processor we bought saves me a lot of time and effort when preparing meals.
Did I need it? No.
Did I want it? Yes.
Do I use it on a regular basis? Yes.
While the food processor is something I didn’t need, it was something I thought about frequently so eventually did buy one. The decision was a good one.
On the other hand, something like mini tart pans would make it easier to bake those cute little tarts. However, I think about it roughly once a year, which is not enough to need to go out and buy a set nor would it get much use.
Ok, so those questions may slow you down. But what is the benefit here? How does delaying your purchase save you money?
Do people really change their mind, or is “thinking about it” just another waste of time?
A consumer presenting a high procrastination has 73% chance to do not decide while a consumer with a low procrastination will delay its purchase in only 26% of the cases. Procrastination predicts if a consumer will effectively buy or not.
There is the proof that procrastinating your buying decisions can save you money.
Even if you are certain you want to buy that dryer or new mixer, delaying gives you time to compare prices. You may find another retailer has a better price, a coupon is available, or you find out the item regularly goes on sale in October.
Delaying may not only help you hunt down a better price but if you wait until you have the cash for large purchases, such as a car, you will save money on interest payments from a loan.
Not only might you find a better price, delaying your decision also gives you a chance to check reviews and comparison shop for similar items. That is not only procrastinating, it is flexing your frugal muscle and making smart decisions.
Is procrastination always the best course of action? Of course not. But often, just waiting is the easiest way to save money.
Hello Laura, Nice to see your perspective on this consumer procrastination phenomenon. For the small things like replacing a lamp, fixing the shower head I have to admit that I am lazy myself and can sometimes let it slip long before I actually replace or do something about it. I recently mentioned that for dishwashing soap I often add water when the bottle is almost empty to use it all up but as well because I am again lazy to run to the store :). On the other hand for bigger items such as the machine you mention I like your questions : Do I need it? Do I like it?.. and I follow a similar process but there I do not procrastinate so much about it (am I weird? Probably). I kind of already have a plan for it : If the washing machine is broken I will just try to fix it and if not I replace it.
I actually agree on not waiting on things like a washing machine or refrigerator. It will get used and used well! For those things, the questions become more of ‘do I really need the steam function or a bluetooth connection on this?’. I’ll check reviews and just try and get the best bang for my buck.

This live recital takes its starting point the works of Henry Purcell. If only it included the song that would best encapsulate it: after an hour in Iestyn Davies’s genial company, ‘music for a while’, does indeed all our ‘cares beguile!’ Or at least most of them. Davies plunders Purcell’s rich stock of celebratory Odes to which he adds songs and theatre music by contemporaries Jeremiah Clarke and William Croft, as well as a suite from Venus and Adonis by their teacher John Blow. The Blow is dispatched with shapely relish by an instrumental team directed from the harpsichord by the perennially free-spirited Richard Egarr.
In the title track Davies’s ‘muse’ arises a touch mutedly. True, too, of ‘Tis Nature’s Voice, for all that he negotiates the florid passage work with such supple ease. But the wonderful sly spontaneity of Strike the Viol, which culminates in an alluring Restoration jam session, the languorous sensuality of Here the Deities approve, and a gently insouciant Crown the Altar – not so much sung as caressed – are irresistible. The instrumentalists don’t quite nail the unstoppable life force that courses through the gloriously precocious Three Parts on a Ground, but all in all, this is an enthralling stroll through Restoration London at its musically most sophisticated.

We unveiled two new all-electric models at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. CES is the largest annual show in Las Vegas with over 170,000 visitors spanning five days. We premiered the “311”— the revolutionary three-wheeled, two-seater 50+ mph commuter and the “511”— the burly 4×4 with up to 60 miles range.
Both AEV stablemates joined the “411”— the clean energy workhorse designed for parcel, moving, and professional fleets.
Our impressive 30 x 40 foot booth was packed with interest in AEV and its “Assembled in Texas” all-electric lineup and, especially, the AEV “Productivity Suite” (GPS Location, Geo Fencing, and Delivery Cycle Time) included in every vehicle.
Each day, we welcomed international, national, regional, and local fleet opportunities along with multiple investment exposures. The show’s results included hundreds of leads and four new international Distributors (Latin America + Europe) along with formal introductions to 11 U.S. Dealers along with multiple pre-sales at the show. We also met with U-Haul and Costco about their fleet and retail opportunities.
We also have begun to re-brand and redesign our Product information for each vehicle.
“Mama Fu’s” Asian Food Restaurant has been finalizing an initial up to 100 unit order for our 311 vehicle. Mama Fu’s is modifying our revolutionary 311 inline seating layout to include a rear custom insulated “hot box” for neighborhood hot food order delivery. The fast casual food company sees the value of connected productivity using our AEV “Productivity Suite” which includes GPS Location, Geo Fencing, and Delivery Cycle Time telemetry along with a standard rear backup camera. Additionally, 1,100 units have been ordered for last mile transit.
AEV’s experienced management team has grown to include new Chief Revenue Officer Brian Buccella, former Segway VP of Business Development and Marketing responsible for rebranding and launching Segway’s Robotics and Retail Product lines. Brian brings multiple EV company management experience in both B2C and B2B. His background includes being former President of Vectrix, LLC, an electric motorcycle manufacturer and a founding partner of T3 Motion, an electric fleet vehicle designed for police, military, and security applications.
We are reinvigorating our story of sustainable and connected vehicle technology. Our messaging is going out via traditional and new media platforms. Social media has quickly become an invaluable resource to promote our technology, products, and events. We have begun to develop and execute new digital messaging via influential social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and Vimeo.
AEV Technologies has retained Blue C Advertising of Costa Mesa, California as Agency of Record for brand development, print and digital advertising, public relations, and marketing activation.

Can you explain what you mean by "Build"?
My SPOKE trousers are a bit long, can you shorten them for me?
In trousers and shorts, our waist sizes run from 28" to 40" in inch increments, with the exception of 29" and 39". They both come in three Build sizes - A, B and C - which refers to the room around the thighs and seat.
For length, our trousers come in inch increments between 28" and 36" and our shorts come in three leg lengths - 7", 9" and 11".
In polos and t-shirts, we have sizes from S to XXL and have even added a couple of in-between sizes (M+ and L+) to help you find that perfect fit. On top of this, we've taken influence from our trouser sizing by adding two cuts (slim and straight) and three lengths (short, regular and long).
For more information, and specific measurements for each size, check our Size Chart.

The Director General of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), Madam Audrey Azoulay has paid her first ever working visit to the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (AITI-KACE) in Accra.
She was received by the Director General of the AITI-KACE, Mr. Kwasi Adu-Gyan at an official ceremony to interact with management and staff of the centre and members of the Girls Can Code project.
In a welcoming speech, Mr. Kwasi Adu-Gyan described as a great privilege for the members of the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT to receive the UNESCO Director General to the centre and for that matter Ghana.
According to him, the centre places emphasis on innovation, research and development in the area of ICT and electronics, and is contributing immensely to the human and technological development of the nation.
“Madam Azoulay, our centre has been at the forefront in championing the agenda of mainstreaming gender in the digital space of Ghana, especially by developing and nurturing the capacity of girls in the field of ICT”.
Mr. Adu-Gyan indicated that the AITI-KACE has since its establishment in 2003 implemented a number of initiatives and interventions such as the Girls Can Code project, Girls in ICT project, Robotics for JHS Girls and UNESCO Youth Mobile among others.
He revealed that the Government of India through the Ministry of External Affairs has selected the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT as a Regional Hub for elTEC programmes in Big Data Analytics and High Performance Computing in the ECOWAS region.
He expressed the desire of AITI-KACE to partner UNESCO in areas that would aid in bridging the digital divide, create jobs and contribute towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Mr. Adu-Gyan indicated that “the centre has positioned itself to share in the dream of Global Education Agenda 2030 with particular emphasis on the education sector vision of ensuring an inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.
He was optimistic that Madam Zoulay would use her good office to facilitate the process for AITI-KACE to become a UNESCO Category 2 partner institution for ICT in education in the ECOWAS region.
Meanwhile, the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT is reactivating centres of excellence in Sunyani and Bolgatanga to serve the Northern and middle belts of Ghana. The centres would have Enterprise Development Hubs to nurture and grow small and medium scale enterprises.
Madam Andrey Zoulay after interacting with members of the Girls Can Code project, also watched short video presentations and exhibition of their products.

How nice of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to remind us all, in its new research, that income inequality has a “statistically significant impact” on economic growth!
Perhaps its next report will be entitled “Egg-sucking for grannies”.
It seems that hardly a day goes by without someone telling us this simple fact of life. It isn’t that long since Inequality Briefing told us that a reduction of the gap between the richest and poorest in the UK – to the levels in Denmark or the Netherlands (both of which are roughly on the same level as this country economically) – would put an extra £2,500 in every household’s budget.
That, in turn, would give the economy a major uplift because it boosts spending power. More money would flow through the system and the fiscal multiplier would be higher – meaning the amount of value it creates as it works its way to the Treasury as tax payments would be greater. Then – in a properly-working economy – it would go back into the economy as government investment and the process would start again.
We don’t have a properly-working economy; we have a Tory economy.
That’s why the message has to be repeated constantly, in the same way a teacher might have to repeat a lesson to an uncomprehending child (in this case, George Osborne).
The OECD’s finding that redistribution of wealth via taxes and benefits does not hamper economic growth will fall on deaf ears while George Osborne is the resident of 11 Downing Street. He has been cutting taxes on the rich, and reducing benefits for the poor.
According to the OECD, the gap between rich and poor is at the highest level in 30 years among its 34 members. The richest 10 per cent earn, on average, 9.5 times the poorest whereas – in the 1980s – they earned 7 times as much. Osborne thinks this is a good thing, even though the economy is stuttering on the edge of another precipice.
His policies are designed to increase the income gap: Benefits have been capped to ensure they do not increase in line with inflation – meaning employers are free to pay their workers less, saying that there are plenty of unemployed people who would be happy to take the lower amount. Trade unions are toothless, having had all the fight taken out of them during the first neoliberal Tory government of the 1980s.
The result will be less money flowing through the economy, meaning lower tax income for the Treasury, making it harder to provide public services (as Osborne intends). This provides an excuse for public services to be cut in favour of inferior but more expensive privatised systems that put even more cash into the hands of the rich and starve the economy still further. Debt increases exponentially and the United Kingdom doesn’t just fall over the economic precipice – we leap into the chasm like a lemming in a Disney movie.
The fact is, George Osborne is a Tory. He’ll never accept that his ideas are wrong for the United Kingdom. Whether that means he has been lying to you about his plans, or he is just really, truly stupid, we may never know.
So the OECD’s message isn’t for him at all.
It’s for you – and anybody else who will listen.
The only way to improve our standard of living is to rid the country of Tory neoliberal economic idiocy, by voting them out at the next general election, and taking steps to ensure they can never return on the back of the discredited foolishness they’ve been peddling to us.
The only way that can happen is if we – individually and personally – take responsibility for educating the people around us to understand the faults in Tory ideology and the dangers they represent.
shining a light on the path to progress!
No, Mike, Osborne is both lying – and stupid! A no-brainer really!
Unfortunately the public just don’t see it like that.
I’m sure they can multi task and be both lying and stupid!

PORTSMOUTH — The city began offering two alternatives — one high-tech, one no-tech — to its "pay and display" parking meters on Friday.
The iPark 2.0 electronic parking pass allows users to prepay for parking online, then activate the devices — approximately the size of an E-ZPass transponder — and place them on their dashboards. The device permits motorists to bypass the round-trip to the pay and display kiosks, while allowing users to pay with a credit card.
The second new option is a prepaid parking coupon, which can be purchased at the parking office at City Hall with check or cash.
"These new options have been developed as part of our continuing effort to offer convenient alternatives to our residents and frequent downtown visitors," said Parking Manager Jon Frederick. "We are very excited about adding these options to our pay and display meter program in response to requests from the public to be able to use credit cards for payment and to reduce the number of unsightly and outdated meters."
The iPark can be purchased for $25 from the parking office at City Hall or online, from the link on the parking and transportation page at the city's Web site. The city decided to provide the options in March after receiving complaints about the pay and display system. Frederick said the iPark manufacturer was in the process of upgrading from the 1.0 to the 2.0, which is the reason for the delay. The new version is more user friendly, he said.
"There's been interest already," said Frederick. "I think, as people start seeing it out there being used and understand the advantages it has, it'll do pretty well."
Part of the appeal of the iPark is its simplicity, as well as convenience, Frederick said. The iPark user uses a button pad to select the proper parking time limit for the space; presses the start button, displaying a digital clock that counts down the time remaining; and places the device on the dashboard. Users push a button to end the session and they are charged only for the time used.
Parking time may be purchased in $25, $50 or $100 increments, including a service charge, which is $2.50 for $25, $3.50 for $50 and $5 for $100.
A number of iPark functions can be performed online using the iPark link from the city Web site, including the purchase of parking funds, receiving a code to reload the purchased amount onto the iPark device, checking transaction history and viewing locations for on-street parking. Parking rates, time limits and stored-value balance are displayed as a scroll on the iPark device's LED screen. In the near future, the iPark device will be compatible with other cities that recognize the device for metered parking, including Manchester.
The first 50 devices purchased at City Hall come with a $10 parking credit. The first 200 purchased online will also include the credit and be shipped for free. The iPark may be purchased by credit card or an ACH transfer from a checking account. The coupons are used like a pay and display receipt. They are available in sheets of 10 for $15, with each coupon worth two hours of parking. The driver would mark the coupon with the date and time the vehicle was parked, and then displayed on the vehicle's dashboard in the same manner as a pay and display receipt.
Frederick said the city parking committee will discuss when the next round of kiosk installations will take place at their meeting on Nov. 12.

Whether it’s watching the greatest pro golfers compete, playing the best courses yourself, letting a local expert guide you to the home of the sport or getting playful with some golf alternatives, there’s no shortage of ways to satisfy the itch to hit the links this spring. Here are some options around the Southeast and beyond.
Aside from the Masters Tournament in Augusta April 11-14, the next closest PGA tournament to Atlanta that isn’t in Atlanta is the Regions Tradition May 8-12 in suburban Birmingham. It’s a popular tournament because it only allows PGA players older than 50 to compete, many of whom are household names to golf fans. The celebrity pro-am before the tournament is heavy on big names in college football such as Alabama head coach Nick Saban, UGA’s Kirby Smart, and multi-sport legend Bo Jackson. Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a Birmingham native, will also play the charity event that benefits Children’s of Alabama hospital. May 8-12. $25 daily tickets, $100 full tournament. Greystone Golf and Country Club, 4100 Greystone Drive, Birmingham, Ala. 877-332-7804, www.regionstradition.com.
The U.S. Women’s Open hands out the most coveted trophy in women’s professional golf. This year, the tournament takes place at the Country Club of Charleston. Anticipation for the event is so high locally that the 1,700 volunteer positions filled up last fall, and 100,000 spectators are expected to attend. The Open will be the first major golf championship ever held in Charleston and the city is expecting visitors from around the globe. Many visitors will also be in town at the same time for Spoleto Festival USA (May 24-June 9), a major performing arts festival with shows, concerts, plays and many other cultural events taking place all over the city. May 30-June 2. $25 and up for daily tickets, $125 up for full tournament packages. 1 Country Club Drive, Charleston, S.C. 800-698-0661, www.uswomensopen.com.
For big spenders who want to attend the Masters Tournament in stylish luxury, the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee offers a five-day Masters package. Priced at $100,000 for four people, the package includes tickets and transportation to the tournament, a large cottage on the lake with a private chef, rounds of golf at Reynolds’ acclaimed courses, a new set of personally fitted TaylorMade golf clubs and too many other perks to list here. If that’s too rich for your tastes, check out resort’s newest course-within-a-course concept, the Quick Six. Carved out of The Preserve course at Reynolds, it only takes an hour to play and costs $40 for mid-afternoon tee times, a bargain for a resort where the greens fees are typically in the $200 range. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Great Waters course is currently closed for renovations (overseen by Nicklaus himself) and slated to re-open in September. Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee. $419 and up for stay-and-play packages. 1 Lake Oconee Trail, Greensboro. 706-467-0600, www.ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/georgia/reynolds.
The Grand Strand boasts more than 100 golf courses. Choosing which ones to play can be a daunting task. One option is choosing a resort that offers access to the top courses as well as concierge golf services. Last year, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront partnered with the golf course management company Founders Group International to offer its guests privileges at Founders’ 22 courses. This includes TPC Myrtle Beach, the only Grand Strand course awarded five stars by Golf Digest. A golf concierge can help you pick courses and schedule tee times. The resort is minutes away from the Myrtle Beach International Airport, and all rooms and suites have oceanfront balconies. Work on your putting game at the 18-hole miniature golf course on site. DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront. $393 and up for stay-and-play packages. 3200 S. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach, S.C. 843-315-7100, www.doubletree3.hilton.com.
Point Clear is home to the Grand Hotel Golf Resort and Spa, a historic resort that opened in 1847 and became part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection last August. Listed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the Historic Hotels of America, the Grand exudes Southern elegance and maintains longtime traditions such as the daily military procession and cannon firing over the bay, an homage to the hotel’s unique history during times of war. Guests have access to Lakewood Golf and Country Club, home to two courses on Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. After a three-year renovation project, the hotel and the Dogwood Course at Lakewood have re-opened. The Azalea Course is currently undergoing renovation and slated to re-open in November. Grand Hotel Golf Resort and Spa. $239 and up for rooms. $65 and up for greens fees. 1 Grand Blvd., Point Clear, Ala. 251-928-9201, www.grand1847.com.
Guests at Beau Rivage Resort and Casino have exclusive access to the links at Fallen Oak, designed by Tom Fazio. Last year, Golfweek magazine rated Fallen Oak the best course to play in Mississippi. The lush coastal forest setting makes it one of the more scenic courses in the South, its fairways lined with centuries-old oak trees, pecan and magnolia groves, and cut through by winding creeks. It is home to the Rapiscan Systems Classic, an annual PGA Tour Champions event March 29-31 that is free to attend, a rare thing in the pro golf world. Tickets are provided compliments of Coca-Cola, and can be acquired through the tournament website at www.rapiscansystemsclassic.com.
Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. $69 and up for rooms, $200 and up for greens fees. 875 Beach Blvd., Biloxi, Miss. 877-805-4657, www.beaurivage.com.
A favorite golf destination for Atlanta residents, Sandestin is home to four championship courses — Raven Golf Club, Burnt Pine Golf Club, Baytowne Golf Club and the Links Golf Club — designed by such notable architects as Robert Trent Jones Jr., Rees Jones and Tom Jackson. The courses flank Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and all but Baytowne are ranked among the “Top 75 in Florida” by Golf Digest. In 2017, Sandestin added a fleet of high-tech golf cars with GPS technology that can give exact yardage for each shot and show 3D flyovers of the holes. Numerous lodging options are available in Sandestin, including at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa, a 600-room beachfront resort with a world-class spa and the Panhandle’s only AAA Four-Diamond steakhouse, Seagar’s. Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. $270 and up for rooms, $69 and up for greens fees. 4000 S. Sandestin Blvd., Miramar Beach, Florida. 850-267-9500, www.hiltonsandestinbeach.com.
Playing the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland, the oldest golf course in the world and widely known as “the home of golf,” is a bucket list item for many golfers. Planning a trip and getting a tee time can be expensive and challenging, especially for overseas travelers. Georgia-based Tom’s Golf Tours makes the task much easier. The company is run by Tom Chillemi, a Class A member of the PGA who has competed and won on the Old Course and is an expert on golfing in Ireland and Scotland. Tours include luxury coach service for all ground transportation, guaranteed tee times on the Old Course (and others), a full Scottish breakfast every day and four-star accommodations. $5,500 per person for seven-day tour and guaranteed tee times on the Old Course. 333 Rebel Circle #323, Sky Valley. 706-982-2357, www.tomsgolftours.com.
Like a bowling alley for golfers, Topgolf locations are springing up everywhere. According to the company, 51 percent of its guests are non-golfers, but a recent survey by the National Golf Foundation found that 24 percent of those who started playing golf in the last three years began after first playing Topgolf. It’s a fun introduction to the sport in an arcade-like atmosphere with players aiming at circular targets on the range. Each location has its own chef-driven food menu featuring local specialties and craft beer. There are two locations in the metro area: 1600 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd., Atlanta, and 10900 Westside Parkway, Alpharetta. But why not combine Topgolf with a weekend getaway? There are locations in Birmingham, Ala.; Huntsville, Ala.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Nashville, Tenn.; Greenville, S.C.; and Myrtle Beach, S.C. $25 per hour and up plus $5 membership fee. 866-867-4653, www.topgolf.com.
If Topgolf is the new high-tech way to play the game, Putt-Putt has been the old-school standby since the 1950s. This isn’t putting through windmills or pirate ships. It’s a skill-based game on courses built to exact standards. There’s even a pro league. The 2019 National Championship of the Professional Putters Association takes place Sept. 16-20 at the Putt-Putt Fun Center in Kingsport, Tenn. (346 W. Stone Drive, 423-247-3531, www.proputters.org) with a $25,000 purse. Amateurs can compete at weekly tournaments in various locations. One notable outpost is on Amelia Island in Florida where Putt-Putt of Fernandina Beach stands as the oldest continually operating franchise, in business since 1959 and the only location in the Southeast that’s located on the beach. Putt-Putt Fun Center. $5 and up. 6 North Fletcher Ave., Fernandina Beach, Fla. 904-261-4443, www.puttputt.com/amelia-island.

Liam Fox MP out of the Tory leadership race - but up for a top position in new cabinet?
Liam Fox, MP for North Somerset, was knocked out of the contest for Tory leader last week, then supporting Theresa May, the leadership frontrunner. He could now be offered a new job as Mrs May announces her new cabinet soon.
Dr Fox said: “After we leave the EU we must have sufficient time to heal the divisions in our Party and in the country. We must go into the next election not as leavers and remainers but as united Conservatives.
This is the second time Dr Fox put himself forward for Conservative leadership, and he could now be looking forward to a top post in Theresa May’s new cabinet. Dr Liam Fox was first elected in 1992 and lives locally in Tickenham.

The registration of vehicles in the first quarter of the year has increased by 7.9% over the same period of 2016, reaching 307,911 registered cars compared to 285,495 registrations last year in the first quarter, according to the Anfac data. , Faconauto and Ganvam. In view of the increase in sales in the sector, many financial institutions offer a car loan with almost unbeatable conditions, but do we know what a loan needs to be perfect? Finding the perfect financing for the purchase of a car is essential to not overpay.
If we are thinking of buying a car, choosing the perfect car loan for us is one of the most important parts of the buying process. Compare between different offers instead of staying with the first offer and knowing the most important characteristics that make them – or not – a good offer will be essential to get the best car loan.
It is important to look at the APR and not just the TIN since, while the TIN tells us the interest we will pay for the requested car loan, the APR includes, in addition to the interest, other expenses such as commissions or connections.
As we have said, the study and opening fees are included in the APR, so if the APR is low, we know that it is a cheap car loan. However, we must bear in mind that these commissions are paid together with the first repayment installment , that is, the first month will involve a greater economic effort.
The APR should always take precedence over other aspects, although if we get a car loan with a low APR and no commissions we will have a better offer.
These are products that the entity requires us to contract to access credit . In the case of car loans, the most common is that they ask us for insurance. There are two types of links: free ones, such as payroll or receipts, and others with costs, such as insurance or a minimum expense with the credit card. The less binding we have, the better because it will save us more paperwork and an additional expense that other credits will not have . The Cofidis project credit, for example, does not have any mandatory binding, although it does have payment protection insurance that we can contract if we wish. In addition, hiring or not this insurance will not affect the cost of credit.
In addition to these three factors that include in the cost of a car loan, we must also take into account the flexibility of the credit, that is, the possibility of extending the term, changing the amount of the installment or increasing the capital of the credit without this supposes too much paperwork or a commission to do it. This flexibility, although we will not always have to use it, gives us a margin to adapt the car loan to our current situation during its life.

In those finite dimensions, they actually seemed to trap anything that came near them, similar to the gravitational influence of a black hole. This work has provided one of the most amazing results of string theory — a way to describe some aspects of a black hole.
In addition, the p-branes solved one problem in string theory: Not all of the existing particles could be explained in terms of string interactions. With the p-branes, Strominger showed that it was possible to create new particles without the use of strings.
A p-brane can make a particle by wrapping tightly around a very small, curled-up region of space. Strominger showed that if you take this to the extreme — picture a region of space that’s curled up as small as possible — the wrapped p-brane becomes a massless particle.
According to Strominger’s research with p-branes, not all particles in string theory are created by strings. Sometimes, p-branes can create particles as well. This is important because strings alone did not account for all the known particles.

The name and spirit of Coldstream was born from the historical Coldstream Guard, a regiment of British soldiers who first gathered in the village of Coldstream in 1660. The Guard has been regarded as Nulli Secundus (Second to None) in their role of valor, spirit of integrity, and determination to preserve, protect and carry out their stated mission. As Coldstream continues into its next generation, we’ve evolved the meaning of our name to include the idea of guardianship, preservation, and complexity. When you think of Coldstream, think of “second to none” service, personalized attention, and stewards who always put you first.

SALT LAKE CITY—September 9, 2010—PilmerPR today announced founder John Pilmer will speak today at the UVEF Crunch Lunch event on the subject of “Corporate Responsibility – From the Ground Up,” starting at noon at the Provo Novell campus. The event is open to the public.
65% of European companies have a full-time CR officer (also known as Corporate Social Responsibility [CSR])**. The U.S. lags behind at 35%, but that is changing according to Pilmer.
Walmart exemplifies a huge company demanding compliance from suppliers in areas of sustainability. Other large companies now make similar demands of business partners. Although CSR plans and reports are a voluntary corporate choice, BusinessWeek reports that two-thirds of consumers would now rather purchase from a company addressing Corporate Responsibility.
ISO 26000 out this year names seven core subjects for reporting. Pilmer will share these and discuss the triple-bottom-line of CR: Planet, People, and Profits. His remarks will be posted on the company blog at http://www.pilmerpr.com/blog .
PR News has praised PilmerPR’s work in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility. Additional resources on CR may be found at http://www.pilmerpr.com/csr_pr.html .
PilmerPR tips for emerging companies seeking to dominate their sector may be found on the company’s blog: http://www.pilmerpr.com/blog; YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/johnpilmer; and at Twitter: @jpilmer. John Pilmer’s new novel, Green Spin, a near future fictional account of the dangers of the 24-second news cycle and environmental extremism, is available on Amazon.
The PilmerPR team has decades of collective experience in marketing and public relations with specific backgrounds in social media, high-tech, cleantech, print journalism, search engine optimization (SEO), and the rapidly rising area of social responsibility. The team includes active PR professionals Accredited in Public Relations (APR) by the Universal Accreditation Board.
What does the acronym CSR stand for?

The egg white protects the yolk, be it among other reasons because of the enzyme lysozyme, which splits the beta-(1,4)-glycoside bond in the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria, wherin the bacterial cell is destroyed. The protein ovotransferrin is also bacteriostatic, in that the binding of iron to ovotransferrin limits the possibilities of certain bacteria's growth.
An egg basically consists of three parts: a shell, an egg white and an egg yolk. An egg from a hen consists of approximately 2/3 egg white and 1/3 egg yolk.
When the egg leaves the hen, it has a temperature of 39 °C. When it is cooled, there is a contraction of the contents and air can penetrate through the shell. In the heavy end of the egg, the outer and the inner shell membrane are split and the air cell is formed here. The older an egg is, the larger the air cell, as water continuously evaporates from the egg during storage.
Under the shell there is an outer and an inner shell membrane. The outer membrane, which is immediately inside the shell, is the most resistant. Besides serving a packaging role, the shell and the shell membranes have a biological function; namely to regulate evaporation and air circulation, but also to prevent penetration of microorganisms. A colourless wax membrane called the cuticle surrounds the outer shell. It is highly alkaline and therefore acts bacteriostatic. This wax membrane dissolves by washing, which is why in Denmark, washing the eggs before sorting is not allowed.
The shell is built of 8-10,000 pores, which ensures that oxygen can penetrate and CO2 and other gases can escape. The shell represents about 10 % of the weight of the egg and consists mainly of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. The shell thickness and thus the strength depends on egg size, breed, the age of the hen, and feed composition.
Only the outer layer of the shell is coloured. The colour of the shell can be white or brown – depending on the breed. A white hen lays white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs. There are also white hens that lay brown eggs but this breed is currently not being used for production in Denmark.
The egg white represents approx. 60 % of the weight of the egg and consists of 88 % water and 12 % dry matter, primarily protein. The white is divided into three parts: an inner and an outer liquid layer, and in between those a liquid layer with a thicker consistency. The white prevents external bacteria from penetrating the yolk.
The pale yellow-green colour of the white is due to the presence of riboflavin (vitamin B2). In completely fresh eggs there are lots of small air bubbles, which can give the egg white a dull milky appearance. This is because of carbon dioxide that has not yet leaked out through the shell. The older the egg, the more transparent the egg white.
The yolk has a much lower water content than the egg white, just under 50 %. The yolk represents about 28 % of the weight of the egg and consists of approx. 2/3 fat and 1/3 protein. The fat content consists primarily of triglycerides, cholesterol, and the phospholipid lecithin. The amount of fat and cholesterol and the composition of the fat is influenced by the diet of the hen. The yolk is held in place by two screw-shaped egg white strands – the chalazae.
The diet of the hen determines the colour of the egg yolk. If the hen is mainly fed by yellow and orange-pigmented food, this is the colour that is more prominent in the egg yolk. A relatively colourless feed, gives almost colourless yolks. In conventional feed, the manufacturer often adds a small amount of plant supplements that provide the yolk with the colour that consumers like best – namely golden or lemon-coloured.

The return of market volatility in February hurt equity markets significantly. For the first time in 15 months, the MSCI World ended the month in the red, down -3.5%, as EMU and Japanese markets underperformed.
The return of market volatility in February hurt equity markets significantly. For the first time in 15 months, the MSCI World ended the month in the red, down -3.5%, as EMU and Japanese markets underperformed. One area of concern is that fixed income did not provide protection. The Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index was also down in February. Actually the equity market rout appears to have been caused by fears of inflationary pressures, pushing bond yields higher in anticipation of a tighter monetary stance in the U.S.
The positive correlation between equity and bond returns is an issue for investors looking for protection and diversification.
In a context where investors are growing increasingly uncomfortable with the valuation of risk assets, Alternative UCITs continued to experience sizeable inflows in early 2018. Over the past three months (November-January), Alternative UCITs funds in Europe saw significant inflows (EUR 14.2bn), according to Morningstar.
In terms of performance, the Hedge Fund industry was down in February but managed to outperform traditional asset classes. Yet, the devil is in the details. Performance was dragged down by CTAs, which suffered from trend reversals in equities and commodities. Some segments of the Even-Driven strategy, namely Special Situation funds, also suffered as a result of their elevated beta to equity markets. On a positive note, Fixed Income Arbitrage, Market Neutral L/S and Merger Arbitrage were highly resilient.
The positive sensitivity of Fixed Income Arbitrage to rising bond yields was again demonstrated, as well as the low beta features of merger arbitrage. These are two strategies on which we maintain an Overweight stance going forward.
With regards to Market Neutral L/S, on which we have been Underweight, the strategy benefitted from the absence of rotation in risk factors. Finally, L/S Equity funds were also resilient, and variable biased funds appear well fit to market conditions. In effect, the market environment might remain unstable going forward, especially as the U.S. administration turns aggressive on trade barriers.

Thank you so much for joining me in this blog hop today! I’ve teamed up with 11 other extremely talented bloggers to share our Easter crafts on a budget. Each of us was given a budget of no more than $10 and challenged to create an Easter inspired craft using items from the dollar store or dollar section of our local stores. If you have any budget-friendly Easter crafts to share, please add it to the link-up at the bottom of this post so it can be seen on all of our blogs!
Today I’m sharing my DIY Easter Basket free crochet pattern. I used yarn from my large yarn stash for this project, but it will cost less than $8 if you buy the yarn.
I love beautiful baskets, and spring is the perfect time of year to make a DIY Easter Basket. I’m using Red Heart® Super Saver® yarn from my large yarn stash to crochet this versatile yet beautiful basket. The basket is worked as one piece: Crochet the bottom first followed by the basket’s sides. One round is reversed for a long tie, but this can easily be replaced with a solid row of single crochet. I finished the basket with a reverse single crochet border, one of my favorite crochet stitches.
Single crochet: Insert hook into st, yo, draw up a loop, yo, draw yarn thru both loops on hook. Reverse single crochet (also called crab stitch): insert hook into the right of st, yo, draw up loop back to the front, yo, draw loop thru both loops on hook.
2. Work pattern holding 2 strands of yarn together.
3. Unless stated do not turn after each round when working the bottom of the basket.
4. Use a stitch marker to mark last st in each round. Move marker up as you complete each round.
5. The basket is worked as one piece.
6. If desired, make a solid basket by replacing ROUND 28 with a round of single crochet.
With crochet hook, ch 4. Join with sl st to first st.
RND 1: Ch. 1, 6 sc in ring. Join with sl st to first sc. Insert st marker in last st.
RND 2: Ch. 1, 2 sc in each st. Join with sl st to first sc (12).
RND 3: Ch. 1, * sc in next st, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (18).
RND 4: Ch. 1, * sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (24).
RND 5: Ch. 1, * sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (30).
RND 6: Ch. 1, * sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (36).
RND 7: Ch. 1, * sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (42).
RND 8: Ch. 1, * sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (48).
RND 9: Ch. 1, * sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (54).
RND 10: Ch. 1, * sc in next 8 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (60).
RND 11: Ch. 1, * sc in next 9 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (66).
RND 12: Ch. 1, * sc in next 10 sts, 2 sc in next st *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc (72). Do not fasten off.
RND 13: Ch. 1, turn work, sc in flo of next st and in each st around (72). Mark last st with st marker. Weave in tail of beginning ch. The bottom of the basket will now be the inside of the basket.
RND 14: Ch. 1, turn work, sc in next st and in each st around. Join with sl st to first sc (72).
Repeat last round for RNDS 15-27.
RND 28: Ch. 1, turn work, *sc in next st, skip next 2 sts, ch 2 *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl to first sc (72).
RND 29: Ch. 1, turn work, * sc in next st, 2 sc in ch 2 sp *. Repeat from * around. Join with sl to first sc (72).
RND 30-31; Ch. 1, turn work, sc in next st and in each st across . Repeat from * around. Join with sl to first sc (72).
RND 32: Do not turn work from the previous round. Ch. 1, working backward, rsc in last st and in all sts around. Join with sl st to first rsc. Fasten off. Weave in loose ends.
To make the tie, ch 126, leaving about an inch or two yarn tail at both ends. Hold last st, grab yarn tail and pull to secure last st. Repeat steps at the other end. Trim yarn tails to about 1-inch. Weave the tie in and out of the ch 2 spaces made in RND 28. Form a bow with remaining yarn.
Machine wash in lukewarm water. Initial water temperature should not exceed 40°C or 104°F. Machine dry on normal heat. Tumble dry. Do not iron. No bleach product may be used. Most dry cleaning solvents may be used safely.
Light blocking is all that’s needed for this project. Fill a spray bottle with a little cold water. Lightly spray sides of the basket. Use your fingers to shape basket.

Grandma and Grandad South visited on today. As well as a delicious cake and flan, they brought soil with them; good quality top soil, to fill in the gaps created when we were raising the lawn and building the final couple of raised beds. We still need a bit more in a couple of the beds but the lawn area is now fully prepared and ready for the grass seed we had intended to sow weeks ago and never quite got around to doing. Although it was probably for the best given that we have had a few frosts since then. Grandad South has even raked it over for us so if I can keep our Little Garden Helpers away from it we should be able to sow the seeds in a couple of weeks. It has been frosty the last few mornings so it is probably better to leave it a little while longer.
With the ground prepared for lawn seed, Grandad South, (with a little bit of help from Garden Dad), added some wood to our kitchen chairs so our Little Garden Helpers can reach the table without kneeling up. Although Garden Girl has been waiting a long time for us to do this she was less than happy when she saw the work in progress. 'Oi! You are making a mess of my garden. Stop that!' I am pretty certain there was a stamped foot and a scowl to accompany her demand but it is pleasing to know she cares enough about her garden to make sure people treat it well - and sawdust scattered eveywhere will just not do!
I have to admit that, with the extra hands, Garden Girl immediately took on the role of site supervisor and kept everyone in check. She certainly cracked the whip with Grandma South who has done a brilliant job of pulling up newly rooted sycamore trees, once again threatening to grow a forest in our back garden. She was certainly determined to make sure the roots and not just the leaves were removed and made sure Grandma South kept at the task. As a result, a large portion of the raised beds are sycamore and weed free and ready for sowing seeds. I am very very grateful to have been saved some of the weeding.
Garden Boy, started the day off playing at the water table, filling buckets with water and soil to make 'worm concrete'. I am not entirely certain about the uses of worm concrete but he poured bucket loads over the patio so perhaps he was filling in the cracks. He was then thrilled to be able to help sow tomato seeds. He has been excited about sowing tomatoes ever since we started talking about this years planting. He helped me fill the pots with compost, carefully placed each seed and gently covered them with soil and then drowned them in water. To be fair, I think his watering can is a little but too 'fast flow' and mine has a broken rose, so we were relying on the childrens watering cans. I think there will have to be another trip to the garden centre this week.
By the end of the day Garden Boy and myself had sowed 4 types of tomato (Mirabelle Bianche, Tumbling Tom, Gardeners Delight and Tigerella), Telegraph Cucumbers, Curly and Flat-leaved Parsley, Basil, All Year Round Lettuce, Stir-fry Lettuce leaves, Noisette Brussells Sprouts, Hispi Cabbage and Dwarf French Beans. I was then ready to sow some Broad Beans directly into the raised beds before I realised it was five o clock and time to make dinner. Time really does fly when you are having fun. So the Broad Beans will have to wait until tomorrow when we will hopefully also sow some squash and turnip seeds. Then it will be back to weeding for a little while, but at least it does not seem quite as daunting now that someone else has made a start.
